HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
JULY 23, 2003
AGREEMENT WITH HULS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, LLC, FOR
ADMINISTRATION OF USED OIL BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council waive formal bidding and approve
the attached Agreement with Huls Environmental Management, LLC, for administration of the
City's used oil block grant program.
tp'u'..
BACKGROUND
In February 2001, the City executed a 2 '/z year contract with Huls Environmental
Management, LLC, for assistance in administering a used oil block grant provided to the City
by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB).
Huls has been promoting used oil recycling at eight to six collection centers in Azusa mainly
by supplying them with used oil drain pans purchased by the City under this program. The
centers provide the drain pans free to residents to promote recycling of motor oil. Huls
tracks the number of drain pans given away each month and orders more drain pans when
the centers' inventories run low. Huls also tracks the gallons of oil dropped off at the centers
each month, and develops components of the report that must be submitted to the CIWMB
on an annual basis.
Since February 2001, eight to six collection centers have recovered 33,157 gallons of used oil
and provided 950 drain pans to Azusa residents. City staff has assisted with the promotion of
these centers with an annual recycling booklet as well as newspaper ads.
The attached contract will continue the services of Huls Environmental Management with a
couple small changes: (1) Huls will work with existing centers to promote recycling of oil
009
filters, now a required component of the State's program; and (2) Huls will seek to identify
some promotional items which the used oil centers desire to handout.
Staff considers Huls services unique and a sole source provider. Further, as of June 2003,
Huls is 26% below budget for the existing contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Proposed three year agreement is $18,845; used oil block grant funds from the California
Integrated Waste Management Board will be used to pay all billed amounts under this
agreement.

SUBJECT: WATER MAIN INSTALLATION --SIXTH STREET DISTRIBUTION MAIN,
PROJECT W-178
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council authorize staff to advertise for bids for
installation of Sixth Street Distribution Main, Project W-178.
BACKGROUND
The Water Division has completed a water main design, recommended in the 2000 Water
Master Plan Update, called the Sixth Street Distribution Main Project, to install a twelve -inch
diameter water main in Sixth Street from Virginia Avenue to Cerritos Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
A budget item for this project has been approved by the Board in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004
budget.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF
$20,848.80 TO PACIFIC SYSTEMS ELECTRIC TO PERFORM UPGRADES AND
REPAIRS TO GASOLINE TANK AT GLADSTONE MAINTENANCE YARD
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council authorize the issuance of a purchase
order to Pacific Systems Electric in the amount of $20,848.80 to perform necessary upgrades
and repairs to the gasoline tank located at the Water Division's GI&Atone Maintenance Yard.
BACKGROUND
The 6,000 gallon, unleaded fuel tank located at the Water Division's Gladstone Yard serves as
the division's sole source of fuel for its equipment using unleaded fuel. The convenience of
having the tank on site rather than traveling to another location has proven to be cost
effective and time saving. Additionally, by purchasing fuel in such large quantities, the City's
buyer is able to negotiate a much lower price per gallon, resulting in substantial savings in fuel
costs.
The .State of California Water Resources Control Board requires owners of underground
storage tank systems within 1,000 feet of a public drinking water well, to provide that agency
with satisfactory results of an Enhanced Leak Detection (ELD) test. Prior to scheduling the
ELD test it will be necessary to complete upgrades and repairs to the Secondary Containment
Component of our tank. Quotations were solicited from vendors known to perform such
tasks, the results of which were as follows: ,
Pacific Systems Electric $20,848.80
California Hazardous Services $39,550.00
Charles E. Thomas Company $55,787.00

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be $20,848.80. Sufficient funds for this project are available in the Water
Division's 2003/2004 operating budget.

DATE: JULY 23, 2003
SUBJECT: PLAN AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR FURNISHING & INSTALLING
UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC SUBSTRUCTURES ALONG GLADSTONE STREET
BETWEEN VINCENT AVENUE &VERNON AVENUE.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council:
1) Adopt the plan and specifications for furnishing and installing underground electric
substructures along Gladstone Street between Vincent Avenue and Vernon Avenue.
2) Authorize the Office of City Clerk to advertise and solicit bids.
V u,.
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, Azusa Light & Water started design and engineering of the new Kirkwall
Substation located at 1160 West Gladstone Street. As part of substation project, new
underground electric substructures, consisting of vaults and conduits will have to be installed
along Gladstone Street in order to connect the new Kirkwall Substation with the existing Azusa
Substation. When completed, these new underground electric distribution line circuits will
pick up portions of existing electrical load that are currently served from the existing Azusa
Substation, and will thereby improve system reliability. Four underground electric circuits will
be constructed from the Kirkwall Substation.
Moreover, in June 2003, the City of Azusa & Edison entered into an Engineering & Design
Agreement with the understanding that Azusa Light & Water would furnish and install a
portion of underground conduits for Edison for the sole purpose of relocating the affected 12
kV Edison lines in front of substation site. This Edison relocation work was intended to
enhance the landscaping and substation front wall improvements. Although Edison could
have installed it separately at the City's expense, Azusa Light & Water will .have the
opportunity to reduce costs for a portion of the underground conduit construction by
combining this work into one bid contract. This will also avoid duplicate construction work by
two different entities along the busy Gladstone Street roadway.

FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 23, 2003
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE THE POWER PURCHASE WITH PPM ENERGY,
INC., FROM THREE MEGAWATTS TO SIX MEGAWATTS OF WIND POWERED .
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board approve the purchase of three additional megawatts
of wind power from PPM Energy, Inc. ("PPM") and authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement with PPM for the purchase of six megawatts once the final agreement is prepared,
for the purchase of wind powered electrical energy.
BACKGROUND
On May 21, 2003, the Utility Board approved the purchase of three megawatts of wind
power energy from PPM's 145.6 MW High Winds wind generation facility currently under
construction in Solano County, California. Since that time, two events have resulted in delays
in finalizing the contract: (1) the project has experienced delays in start-up testing which
delayed commercial operation to September 1, 2003; and (2) two of the Southern California
Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") members (Cities of Banning and Vernon) did not obtain
timely authorizations from their respective governing bodies and dropped out of the SCPPA
renewable energy coalition. This latter event is expected to adversely impact the contracts of
the remaining participants (Anaheim, Azusa, Colton, Glendale, Pasadena) with PPM and could
jeopardized the procurement process for all participants, since the total MW purchase now
falls short of the minimum purchase requirement by 3 MWs.
Staff continues to believe this resource is very viable and a cost effective way for the City to
meet and indeed exceed the renewable energy portfolio standard. Thus staff is
recommending that the Utility Board approve the purchase of three additional megawatts
from PPM in order to meet the contract minimum purchase requirement. The purchase will
constitute an additional 4% of energy to serve retail load and when combined' with the
previous purchase and City's Hoover energy, will provide the City with approximately 11% of
renewable energy to serve Its retail load.
035
The proposed PPM contract is a fixed price contract for the next twenty years. Although the
contract price is slightly above the prevailing price for non renewable, power, it will provide the
City with hedges against volatile spot market prices tied to natural gas. The economy of scale
is such that it is unlikely the City would be able to arrange independently a more cost effective
alternative for such small amount of renewable energy. Given these benefits, staff believes the
additional purchase is warranted and thus recommends approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The initial and additional purchase of firm wind energy is expected to cost up to $250,000
per year more than generic non-renewable power, resulting in a rate premium of
approximately 1.0% for the next five years. Currently, there are limited funds available from
the Public Benefit Charge (approximately $60,000 per year) to reduce the cost of this
purchase and anticipated funds from PBC are likely to be insufficient for the next five years for
this purpose. Since the recent retail rate adjustment of 10% took into account the effects of
increased power resource costs due to renewable energy procurement, there is sufficient
funding within the existing retail rate structure to support the additional purchase without
further raising the rates.

Capacity as the installed capacity committed to this Agreement. For example, if the capacity
factor of the Project is projected to be 33.33% and Purchaser is purchasing a 3MW share of the
Project's Output, the Average Annual Capacity would be one (1) average MW (aMW). If an
Alternate Project was projected to have a 37% capacity factor, the Purchaser's share of the
Metered Output of the Alternate Project would be adjusted to 2.7 MW so as to yield one (1)
aMW from the Alternate Project per year. In addition, if Seller determines in its sole discretion
that the Project is not sufficient to serve this Agreement, Seller may designate one (1)
supplemental wind turbine electrical generation facility in addition to the Project, in which case

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project will be located on private land located in Solano County, California, on
which Project Owner will obtain wind energy leases or other possessory real estate tights with
the landowners. The real estate rights will allow Project Owner to construct and operate wind
generation facilities for a defined term; and in exchange, each landowner will receive financial
compensation.
The wind generation facilities are expected to consist of wind turbines with an Installed
Capacity of 145.8 MW and an assumed annual capacity factor of 33.33%. The Project's
electrical system will consist of two key elements: (1) a collector system, which will collect
energy from each wind turbine at approximately 575 to 690 volts (depending on the wind
turbines selected) increased to 34.5 kV by a pad -mounted transformer and connect it to the
Project substation; and (2) the substation, which will transform energy from 34.5 kV to 230 kV.
The c ollector system c onsists o f t he pad m ount transformers and the 34.5 k V e lectric
cables. Each wind turbine will generate power at approximately 575 to 690 volts (depending on
the wind turbines selected). A transformer adjacent to each tower will transform the power to
34.5 kV. Transformers will be located on a transformer pad located approximately 5 feet from
the tower pad. From there, power will be transmitted via a combination of underground and
overhead 34.5 kV electric cables.
The substation site will occupy approximately I to 2 acres in an area located
approximately '/4 mile from the existing PG&E 230 kV transmission line crossing the Project
site. The substation site will be a graveled, fenced area with transformer and switching
equipment and an area to park utility vehicles. Transformers will be non -polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) oil -filled types.

(per May 21s' projection)
(per May 21s' projection)
•:* Light Fund had a profitable year, albeit at the expense of higher retail
❖ San Juan Unit #3 generated about 223,175 MWhs or at 84.9% availability
for the fiscal year slightly below the historical average of high 80 to low
0 90%, but better than fiscal year 01-02 performances.
Continue ,
• Looking Ahead, we can expect:
1. Flat to lower projected power resource costs due to expiration of the
above market contracts at the end of 2002 (Pasadena and Sempra gas
hedges).
2. Higher distribution and customer care costs due to (a) costs associated
with the new substation financing and O&M"and (b) general escalation
of the overhead costs.
3. Slightly higher $ contribution to general fund due to the retail rate
increase as of July 1, 2603.
• Overall, the Light Fund remain on course as projected in
the May 21 st financial projections.

2. In -Lieu Tax: 8% of annual gross retail sales revenues. /
B. Allocations: (Needs review for its reasonableness and justifications).

annual return on investment.

A. Franchise and In -Lieu Taxes to be transferred semi-annually, subject to
reconciliations at the close of fiscal year.

dividend at the closing of each fiscal year. When the amount is determined
and authorized by the City Council/IIB, it is transferred to GF and to be used
primarily for CIP of GF, rather for O&M.
III. Documentations:
Parameters and Procedures to be adopted by the CC/UB by Resolution (or Ordinance)
whichever is appropriate. Procedures shall include how the Allocations and Dividends
are calculated, and how escalations are to be calculated, how to make changes in the
future, etc.. _
