Water Conservation Continues
Southern California continues to experience severe drought
conditions and some areas in the San Gabriel Valley have
reached historically low groundwater levels.
While Azusa Light & Water presently has an adequate supply,
continued lack of sufficient rainfall in the region beyond
October is likely to produce severe shortages in supply.
Thank you for all you have done to conserve water.
Continued conservation is necessary, however, to ensure that
all customers will have sufficient water to meet critical needs
until the rainy season.
Currently, water customers are required to restrict outdoor
watering for residential customers to 3 days per week.
If rain is delayed or is below normal levels, further
restrictions to conserve water will be necessary.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO LIMIT WATER
USAGE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
THANK YOU!

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF TH A UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO TRANSFER SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR INTERACTIVE
VOICE RESPONSE FROM SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE TO FIRST DATA
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board (1) approve the request to transfer the Interactive Voice
Response (IVR) services agreement from Systems and Software to their subcontractor, First
Data, and (2) authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement.
BACKGROUND
Since 2005 Azusa Light & Water has been under contract with Systems and Software (S&S), our
Customer Information System vendor, for Interactive Voice Response (IVR) software and
hardware maintenance. S&S subcontracts this service to First Data. If we have a need for
support we would first call S&S and they in turn would contact First Data. The process would
be more efficient if we could contact First Data directly. Recently both vendors agreed to
change the maintenance support arrangement so we can work directly with First Data. This will
require Azusa to enter into an agreement directly with First Data. S&S has refunded to Azusa
the 2009-10 software support of $12,000 so we can pay it along with the previously committed
$1,053 hardware support directly to First Data once the services agreement is executed. This
arrangement will result in greater cooperation among the parties. Since the services agreement is
greater than $10,000 it requires City Council approval. This Agreement has been reviewed by
Best Best & Krieger.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost for this change. Rather than paying Systems and Software for this
service, payment will be made directly to First Data.

(iii) to the extent necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or a valid court order, provided the disclosing party must use

this project allowed the Water Division to lessen the probability of leaks within the newly paved
street.
The award of contract for this project was approved at the April 27, 2009, Utility Board meeting.
The contractor for this project was A. R. Sarmiento, Inc., who bid $928,567.48 on the project.

DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: COMPENSATION TO RBF CONSULTING, INC. FOR EXTRA COST
RELATED TO ADDITIONAL WORK FOR PIPELINE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT W-266 DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board approve the addition of $14,478 to the RBF Consulting
(RBF) contract to provide Design Engineering Services for Pipeline Replacement Project W-266.
BACKGROUND
At its regular meeting of March 23, 2009, the Utility Board approved award of a contract for
consultant design services for Project W-266, Pipeline Replacement ($113,414) to RBF.
RBF's work on the project began in early July, 2009. During their pipeline design work, ALW
staff and RBF identified some additional areas where pipeline replacements are necessary. As
delineated in the attached Exhibit A, additional pipeline replacements are necessary on Citrus
Avenue south of Gladstone Avenue; on the east side of Big Dalton Wash from Traymore Avenue
to Barranca Avenue; and, in order to avoid repaving most of the street, an additional waterline
will be placed on San Gabriel Avenue north of 12th Street.
As a result of this additional replacement pipeline design work, RBF incurred additional
expenses ($14,478) as is itemized in attachment to this Staff Report, labeled Exhibit B. Staff has
reviewed the proposed change order and finds it to be reasonable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this additional cost is $14,478 (a 13% increase in the original design
services contract amount). This request is the first addition to the scope and cost of RBF's
contract. This additional cost will be paid from Account 32-80-000-721-7130/72107B-7130 in
FY 2009-2010 capital improvement program budget.

Subject: Additional Design Services — Water Main Replacement Project W-266
Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank You for meeting with me on October 8, 2009 to discuss your review comments on the design
drawings for the above referenced project. During the meeting we discussed some additional areas
where water line replacements are necessary. One of the areas identified was the replacement of an
old 6" water line in Citrus Avenue south of the intersection with Gladstone Avenue. The second area
identified was replacement of an old 6" water line in Gladstone Avenue east of Big Dalton Wash. The
scope of work involved in providing additional design in these areas is more particularly described in
exhibit A attached. Compensation for design services is outlined in exhibit B also attached.
RBF is pleased to provide these additional design services for water main replacement project W-
266. By replacing these older and problematic water lines in the water distribution network of piping,
Azusa Light & Water can reduce the number of leaks and minimize maintenance issues, ensuring
more reliable service to their customers. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at
(949) 855-3638.

EXHIBIT A
ADDENDUMI
ADDITIONAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR
PIPELINE REPLACEMENT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT W-266
Task 1 - Additional Waterline Replacement— Citrus South of Gladstone
Azusa Light & Water (ALW) has requested that RBF design approximately 800 LF of
8" replacement waterline alignment along Citrus Avenue south of Gladstone Avenue.
A new drawing will be provided and the base sheet will be developed from the atlas
maps provided by ALW. Utilities in this area are outside the boundary of the original
utility search, RBF will contact the utility agencies to obtain information in the
expanded project area. Utility information will be plotted on the base sheet so that
an alignment corridor may be selected for the replacement pipeline. The alignment
will be stationed and shown in plan view only. Existing water meters and hydrants
that are currently connected to the waterline being replaced, will be shown on the
drawing for re -connection to the replacement waterline. The old 6" waterline being
replaced will be shown as abandoned in place in accordance with ALW standards.
Task 2 - Additional Waterline Replacement— East of Big Dalton Wash
ALW has requested that RBF design approximately 300 LF of 8" replacement
waterline on the east side of Big Dalton Wash from Traymore Avenue to Barranca
Avenue. In addition, ALW has requested that a portion of the existing 12" line
running south in Traymore Avenue be replaced up to the 12" valve, the location of
which is not currently known but will be provided ALW. This task assumes that a
maximum of 100 LF of replacement waterline will be required. This task also
includes modification of the connections on both sides of Big Dalton Wash, by
removing a portion of the old pipeline and installing a blind flange on the north side of
the hydrant tee at each location.
A new drawing will be provided and the base sheet will be developed from the atlas
maps provided by ALW. Utilities in this area are outside the boundary of the original
utility search, RBF will contact the utility agencies to obtain information in the
expanded project area. Utility information will be plotted on this base sheet so that
an alignment corridor may be selected for the replacement pipeline. The alignment
will be stationed and shown in plan view only. Existing water meters and hydrants
that are currently connected to the waterline being replaced, will be shown on the
drawing for re -connection to the replacement waterline. The old 6" waterline being
replaced will be shown as abandoned in place in accordance with ALW standards.
Task 3 - Additional Connection Details
ALW identified a new length of pipeline on the west side of San Gabriel Avenue north
of 12th street. It is estimated that approximately 40 individual services are connected
to this existing pipe. In order to minimize disturbance to these customers, RBF will
connect into this existing pipeline on both sides of these services, thereby avoiding
the need to re -connect each to the replacement pipeline. A connection detail will be
on each side of the service connections. In addition, connection details will be
provided for the waterline replacements in Citrus Avenue and at Big Dalton Wash
described in tasks 1 and 2 above. This task assumes that one additional drawing
with a maximum of 6 connection details will be sufficient to complete the work.

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE USA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF TIME TO THE WREN & ASSOCIATES CONTRACT FOR
CONTINUING INSPECTION OF THE ROSEDALE DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE
INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the extension of time of completion
to the Wren & Associates contract for continuing inspection of the Rosedale Development pipeline
installation from June 30, 2009 to December 31, 2009.
BACKGROUND
At their December 19, 2005 regular meeting, the Utility Board approved a Professional Services
Contract with Wren & Associates to perform inspection of water pipeline installations by ALP, the
developer of the Rosedale development. Due in part to the current poor housing market, ALP
experienced delays in the completion of the Rosedale waterline improvements. Wren & Associates'
contract terminated on June 30, 2009. Because ALP is finishing water pipeline installations it is
necessary to extend the Wren Inspection Contract termination date of June 30, 2009 to December
31, 2009. The costs of the inspection are reimbursable by ALP, the developer of Rosedale.
Staff has reviewed the provision of a time extension for Wren and finds it to be necessary for the
completion of the Rosedale water pipelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the extension of time of this contract

BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF SAN JUAN UNIT #3
FIRMING ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND ARIZONA PUBLIC
SERVICE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board authorize the staff to extend through 2011 the firming
arrangement for San Juan unit #3 with the Arizona Public Service (APS) and authorize the
Mayor to execute the agreement with APS upon the preparation of the execution copy.
BACKGROUND
Since 1998 the City has been actively managing its power resources. Due to the unit contingency
nature of City's San Juan resource and the predominant importance of San Juan resource to the
City, the City has almost always mitigated the operational and risk management complexities of
managing this resource by entering into contractual arrangements with third parties to exchange
or otherwise sell the San Juan unit output and purchase firm resources to meet our retail needs.
The current contractual arrangement for firming San Juan energy will expire at the end of 2010
and staff was approached by APS with the interest to extend the agreement thru the end of 2011.
The arrangement between Azusa and APS has served favorably since 2008 as the exchange
allows Azusa to count on firm power from the southwest. In addition APS has proposed
extending such firming service with the same rate, terms and conditions as the 2009 and 2010
exchanges.
The proposed arrangement from APS under the extension has an expected minimum cost of
$32,760 per month plus replacement energy costs at market prices when San Juan is forced out.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds will be budgeted accordingly in FY 10-11 and FY 11-12 for the proposed extension of this
firming arrangement.

BOARD
FROM: GEORGE MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: APPROVALS OF CAISO MRTU-VERSION PRO FORMA AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE CAISO AND THE CITY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board approve (1) the Scheduling Coordinator Agreement, (2)
the Meter Service Agreement for Scheduling Coordinator, and (3) the Congestion Revenue
Rights Entity Agreement between the California Independent System Operator and the City. It is
further recommended to authorize the Director of Utilities to execute and administer the
agreements.
BACKGROUND
Recently the California Independent System -Operator Corporation ("CAISO") has implemented
a new market design, called the Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade ("MRTU"). As a
part of the new market design, the CAISO has updated their FERC -approved tariff along with
their pro forma service agreements. The CAISO has requested all market participants (such as
the City of Azusa) become signatories to these new MRTU service agreements to replace
existing outdated service agreements.
Under the Scheduling Coordinator (SC) Agreement, entities who wish to participate in the
CAISO market have to adhere and conduct business according to the CAISO tariff. Since the
inception of the CAISO, the City has operated independently to schedule electric power with the
California Independent System Operator (CAISO) within California electric system. The SC
Agreement essentially provides the means for the City to participate in the CAISO market.
Under the Meter Service Agreement (MSA), the City is required to submit City's hourly electric
consumption data in a timely manner in order to settle CAISO related charges. The MSA grants
CAISO access to the City's hourly electric consumption data on a real time basis, and allows for
the upload of this data directly into CAISO's settlement system on a daily basis.

CAISO MRTU Agreements

Under the Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) Entity Agreement, a CRR instrument entitles its
holder to certain revenue stream tied to the transmission congestion on the power grid.
Essentially CRR instrument serves as an insurance product against transmission congestion.
CAISO intends to allocate the CRR instruments at no charge to the users of the transmission grid
on a non discriminatory basis through an elaborate allocation process. In order to participate in
the allocation process administered by the CAISO and be eligible to hold CRR instruments, the
market participant will need to abide by certain rules. The CRR Entity Agreement establishes
such rules for an entity to hold the CRR instruments.
By renewing the agreements, it will enable the City to comply and continue to participate in the
CAISO market.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

LIGHT & WATER
As you may know, the California Independent System Operator Corporation
("CAISO") has been working diligently to implement the Market Redesign and
Technology Upgrade ("MRTU"). MRTU includes a new version of the CAISO
tariff and associated new versions of the CAISO's pro forma service agreements.
After considerable efforts MRTU became a reality on April 1, 2009. As a result of
this implementation, the CAISO will now begin the process of replacing the
current pro forma service agreements with the new MRTU versions. Accordingly,
enclosed are two (2) originals each of the MRTU version of the Scheduling
Coordinator Agreement (SCA), the Meter Service Agreement for Scheduling
Coordinators (MSA/SC) and the Congestion Revenue Rights Entity Agreement
(CRREA) between City of Azusa ("AZUSA") and CAISO for execution by Azusa.
Please obtain the appropriate signature, date, and fill in the name and title
of the signatory where indicated in the signature block for each of the
originals of the Agreement and return both signed originals to my attention at
California ISO 151 Blue Ravine Road, Folsom, CA 95630. Please do not fill
in the date on the first page of the Agreement. Once the CAISO signatory has
executed the Agreement, I will fill in the date on the first page and return one fully
executed original to you.
Please note that this Agreement is an amended and restated version of the
existing Agreement and that the existing agreement should be treated as
superseded by the new agreement.

CRR ENTITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is dated this day of and is
entered into, by and between:
(1) City of Azusa having its registered and principal place of business
located at 729 N. Azusa Avenue, Azusa, California 91702 (the "CRR
Entity");
and
(2) California Independent System Operator Corporation, a California
nonprofit public benefit corporation having a principal executive office
located at such place in the State of California as the CAISO Governing
Board may from time to time designate, initially 151 Blue Ravine Road,
Folsom, California 95630 (the "CAISO").
The CRR Entity and the CAISO are hereinafter referred to individually as a `Party"
and collectively as the "Parties."
Whereas:
A. The CAISO Tariff provides that any entity that holds or intends to hold CRRs
must register and qualify with the CAISO and comply with the terms of the
CAISO Tariff, regardless of whether they are to acquire CRRs through the
CRR Allocation or CRR Auction, or through the Secondary Registration
System.
A. The CRR Entity has completed the Candidate CRR Holder application
process and is eligible to participate in the CRR Allocation or CRR Auction or
register as a CRR Holder through the Secondary Registration System.
C. The CAISO Tariff further provides that any entity who wishes to participate in
the CRR Allocation or CRR Auction or register as a CRR Holder through the
Secondary Registration System must meet all of the Candidate CRR Holder
requirements and creditworthiness provisions in the CAISO Tariff and the
relevant Business Practice Manual, including demonstration of its ability to
accommodate the financial responsibility associated with holding CRRs.
D. The CRR Entity intends to obtain CRRs either through the CRR Allocation or
CRR Auction or to register as a CRR Holder through the Secondary
Registration System and, therefore, wishes to undertake to the CAISO that it
will comply with the applicable provisions of the CAISO Tariff.

AGENDA ITEM
OF THE A UTILITY
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: ELECTRIC FUND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RATE ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board:
1. Approve attached resolution implementing a 9.3% increase across-the-board in electric
rates effective December 1, 2009.
2. Approve electric utility cost of service study scope of work and authorize staff to solicit
proposals from qualified consultants.
BACKGROUND
The FY 2009-10 electric utility operating budget included a deficit of about $6.2 million when it
was submitted back in March 2009. Former staff overseeing the electric fund reported at the time
that it would be necessary to adjust Electric rates during FY 2009-10. In light of these
circumstances, a preliminary financial review of the electric fund was recently completed. Initial
findings indicate that consideration of a rate adjustment of 9.3% is necessary to comply with
minimum debt coverage requirements of installment sales agreements approved in 2003. Staff's
financial review not only examined the debt -coverage requirements, but also the ability of the
electric fund to meet minimum reserve levels previously set by the Utility Board and to generate
a positive net income. Each of these is discussed below in more detail.
Minimum Debt Coverage Test
Section Ten of Exhibit D of Series B and C Installment Sales Agreements requires Electric Fund
Net Revenues from Rates and Service Charges to be no less than 1.10 times the amount
Electric Fund Financial Review
October 26, 2009
Page 2
necessary to pay debt service on the 2003 COPS. This Net Revenue is similar to what is shown
in City's CAFR, however, it is typically adjusted for Depreciation and transfers to the City.
Combined debt service, i.e., principal and interest, on Series B and C COP obligations is as
follows:
Projected

$946,397
$943,349
Franchise Fees and In -Lieu Fees are excluded as expenses for purposes of calculating the Debt -
Coverage Test. However, even when these "expenses" are not counted, it appears the Debt -
Coverage Test would not be met if approved appropriations are expended during this fiscal year
and projected revenue is received.
In order to meet the debt coverage obligation for FY 2009-10, net cash available for debt service
needs to be $1,042,561. Since current forecast is ($580,522), rates would need to be set so that
$1,623,083 of additional revenue would be realized by June 30, 2010. In order to meet this
requirement over a 7 month period an increase of 9.3% would be required.
While meeting the reserve requirement would require a larger increase, it is recommended that a
study be conducted once the audited financial statements are available for FY 2008-09, to
determine with greater certainly what level of increase is necessary to fulfill the reserve policy.
Minimum Reserve Fund Test
On July 28, 2008, the Utility Board adopted an Electric Fund reserve policy which set minimum
reserves to $20.27 million. The following Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) line
items on "Statement of Net Assets" are considered as constituting the Electric Fund Reserve:
FY 2007-08 — CAFR
Amount
Cash and Investments
$12,044,796
Due from Other Funds
5,300,000
Rate Stabilization Fund
9,140,416
Total:
$26,485,212
The amount included in above for "Due from Other Funds" is a short term loan to redevelopment
agency. The rate stabilization fund noted above was set up pursuant to Resolution No. 97-05
and Azusa Municipal Code Section 78-40.
Since the reserve forecast is based on cash flow, the attached "Reserve Test" spreadsheet
excludes depreciation and includes estimated capital improvement expenditures as well as
principal on outstanding debt. Principal on long term debt during FY 2009-10 will be $455,000
according to the Installment Sales Agreement dated August 1, 2003, on Series C Certificates of

Participation. The Capital Improvement Program (CEP) budget for FY 2009-10 is about $1.7
million. Since there is no net income beginning in FY 2008-09, the Reserve Test spreadsheet
assumes that there will be no transfer out of interest income. (See below discussion of Net
Income Test.)
Based on preliminary accounting information for FY 2008-09, it appears that the Electric fund
will have about $25 million in reserves which will meet the reserve policy requirement for that
year. For FY 2009-10, however, the electric reserve is projected to be $18.8 million in attached
by fiscal year end (see attached Reserve Test spreadsheet) which is short of reserve requirement
by about $1.4 million. Since the change in cash by fiscal year end (-$6.2 million) is expected to
continue in to future years, the reserve is projected to further erode going forward.
Net Income Test
The long-term sustainability of any business operation is dependent on its ability to match
revenues and expenses in order to generate positive net income. For the City, this test is
especially important given Resolution No. 04-C37 (adopted by the Utility Board on May 24,
2004) which provides that the interest income of the electric fund to be transferred annually into
a capital improvement fund for general City purposes. This "transfer out", however, is
contingent upon the Electric fund having "positive net income".
To assess whether the electric fund will have positive net income, an income statement was
prepared to show both historical information and what might be expected this year and next.
Revenue for the Electric fund includes retail sales, wholesale revenue, miscellaneous revenue,
San Juan Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), and interest income. Total revenue for FY 2009-10 is
expected to be $36.5 million. Expenses include all purchased power costs, transmission and
dispatching, operations and maintenance, including engineering, and administrative, customer
service and overhead costs. Since this is an Income Statement, the principal on outstanding debt
and capital improvement expenditures are not considered, however, is depreciation included
along with interest expense on debt as well as franchise and in -lieu fee expenses. Total expenses
for FY 2009-10 are expected to be about $41.6 million. This results in a projected negative net
income for electric of $5.1 million for this year.
The result of this negative net income would preclude the transfer of interest income to the City
for capital improvements, which has typically been about $1 million annually in recent years and
is projected to be about $650,000 for FY2009-10.
Discussion:
As noted above, the electric fund's debt service coverage for FY 2009-10 is not expected to meet
the required 1.10 level without a revenue increase of about $1.6 million (or 9.3% if implemented
on December 1, 2009). Such a rate adjustment is projected to enable the electric fund to meet

Board established minimum reserve level for FY 2009-10. but the electric fund is projected to
operate in the "red" from a cash flow standpoint by about $4.6 million for this fiscal year and by
over $3 million a year going forward.
Staff believes an additional rate adjustment may be necessary in the 5 to 15 percent range for
Fiscal Year 2010-11 to enable minimum cash reserve levels to be met for future years. Further
review of the timing, magnitude and applicable rate classification(s) of this increase is proposed
to be evaluated further by staff and a third party consultant over the next few months.
FISCAL IMPACT
A 9.3% increase in retail rates would amount to about $1.6 million in additional revenue by
fiscal year end, and about $3 million annually thereafter. According to the California Municipal
Rates Group (CMRG), Azusa's Residential rate was $0.1201 per kWh as of May 2009. A 9.3%
adjustment would increase the rate to $0.1313 per kWh. Below shows rate comparison of
current Residential Rates and how Azusa's rate would compare if increased by 9.3%:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, TO ADOPT NEW ELECTRIC
RATES EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2009.
WHEREAS, in August 2003, the City issued Certificates of Participation (COP) through
Financing Authority for Resource Efficiency of California (FARECal) in the amount of
$11,995,000 to finance the development of the Kirkwall Substation and other Electric Utility
Infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, Section Ten of Exhibit D of Series B and C Installment Sales Agreements
requires Electric Fund Net Revenues from Rates and Service Charges to be 1.10 times the
amount necessary to pay debt service on the 2003 COPS; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that without a rate adjustment during fiscal year 2009-2010,
the debt -coverage ratio will be (0.61), which will be insufficient to comply with the Installment
Sales Agreements entered into by the City in 2003; and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that $1,623,000 in additional revenue will be required to meet
the debt -coverage requirement of 1.10 by June 30, 2010; and
WHEREAS, in order to increase the Electric Fund's revenue by $1,623,000 by June 30,
2010, a rate adjustment of 9.3% is necessary to be effective by December 1, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the cost of service study conducted in 2007 determined that current rates
allocate costs to customers in proportion to the cost of serving the respective customer classes
and so an "across-the-board" application of the rate adjustment is appropriate;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Adoption of Electric Rate Schedule. That the electric rate schedule
implementing an "across-the-board" 9.3% increase attached hereto and

FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT — SAN JUAN RESOURCE
(Adopted by Resolution No. 04-057)
Background:
The City's San Juan Unit 3 resource is its single largest resource providing up to 75% of
City's annual energy requirement.
Due to the sunk cost nature of San Juan resource, the cost incurred in procuring replacement
power when the unit is derated, or unavailable due to scheduled or forced outages is an
addition to the power resource cost that must be recovered. This rate schedule would ensure
timely and prudent recovery of the replacement power costs for San Juan Unit 3 resource.
Applicability:
Applicable to all electric services.
Territory:
Within the electric service territory of the City of Azusa.
Rate Determination:
Rate:
Energy Charge: As determined by the methodology below.
The Azusa Light and Water shall determine the fuel cost adjustment component associated
with its San Juan unit 3 resource pursuant to the following methodology each quarter. The
Director of Utilities shall notify the City Council of the new fuel cost component associated
with its San Juan unit 3 each quarter. It shall be applied to all electric bills beginning the first
billing cycle of each quarter.
1. Determine the base San Juan replacement power cost for the quarter through the
following calculation:
(A) = Base San Juan Replacement Power Cost in $ = 30 x (N# of days during the
quarter) x 24 x 0.15 x 40.
2. Determine the actual San Juan replacement power cost in $ incurred during the
quarter (B).
3. Determine other San Juan associated costs (+) or credits (-), e.g. outage insurance
premium payment (+), outage insurance payout (-) incurred during the quarter (C).
EFFECTIVE 12/01/2009
Electric Rate Schedule - 22 t�
101
4. Derive the amount of Replacement Power Cost (RPC) eligible to be recovered
through the following calculation:
RPC = (A) — (B) + (C)
5. Adjust the RPC in accordance with the following to derive Adjusted Replacement
Power Cost (ARPC):
(i) If RPC< -$750,000, then ARPC= -$750,000
(ii) If -$750,000<RPC<-$100,000, then ARPC=RPC
(iii) If -$ 1 00,000<RPC<+$ 100,000, then ARPC=$0
(iv) If $100,000<RPC<+$750,000, then ARPC=RPC
(v) If RPC>+$750,000, then ARPC=+$750,000
6. Derive Replacement Power Cost Balancing Account (RPCBA) by subtracting ARPC
from RPC, i.e., RPCBA=RPC-ARPC.
7. Forecast the retail sales for the immediately succeeding quarter (R).
8. Derive the fuel cost adjustment associated with the San Juan unit 3 resource by
dividing ARPC by (R).
9. Any balance remaining in RPCBA shall be added to the RPC of the immediately
succeeding quarter for recovery or credit. Subject to City Council's approval, the
Director of Utilities may establish a minimum RPCBA threshold to be retained for
the purposes of reducing the fluctuations in fuel cost adjustment.
This rate schedule is applicable to San Juan energy resource only. To the extent a need
arises to apply FCA provision to energy resources other than San Juan, the Director of
Utilities may implement it with the approval of the Utility Board.

FY 2008-09 Retail Revenue based on Customer Information System Billing Report.
Scope of Work
Consultant shall perform a detailed cost and revenue analysis and determine what rate
adjustments are necessary, if any, to maintain adequate revenues to cover expenses and meet
reserve and debt service requirements.
A. Study Work Plan
a. Using at least two fiscal years of audited detailed trial balance information,
breakdown revenues and expenses into appropriate categories and create a 5 -year
forecast.
b. Review existing policies governing: (1) transfers of interest income from electric
fund to capital improvement fund; (2) electric fund reserves; and (3) debt -
coverage ratio requirements.
c. Using policy positions of city, formulate spreadsheets in proper format to measure
compliance with existing policies based on revenue and expense forecasts with
and without a rate adjustment.
d. Determine level of retail rate adjustment, if any, necessary to meet revenue
requirement and comply with noted policies over a 5 -year period.
e. Analyze changes in costs and revenues since last rate adjustment to explain and
justify any changes to rates.
f. Based on "cost of service" principles, review allocation of costs to rate payers
based on existing rate schedule, and propose changes necessary to meet revenue
requirements and comply with existing policies.
g. It is desirable that consultant give special consideration to purchase power cost
fluctuations as well as resale revenue variations, and provide AL&W with some
options on how best to manage these variances on an annual or semi-annual basis,
possibly through a purchase power cost rate adjustment mechanism.
h. In formulating cost and revenue forecasts, consider fiscal impacts of following:
i. Purchase power transactions and offsetting wholesale revenue

and future purchases as may be necessary, including renewable energy
credits, cost of greenhouse gas emission allocations, etc.
iii. Capital project spending requirements
iv. Compliance with debt coverage requirements
i. Perform revenue tests to model and demonstrate accuracy of recommended rate
adjustments using actual customer counts, meter types or sizes and consumption
pattems--at least covering a full year of actual usage data during what might be
considered a normal weather year.
j. Proposed changes to rates or rate structure shall comply with all legal and
regulatory requirements

INFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2009
SUBJECT: LED TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
BACKGROUND
LED lamps consume less than a quarter of the electricity that fluorescent lights do and the lamps
last about 10 times as long. This energy saving technology is attractive for a series of Public
Benefits rebate programs called LED Technology Programs.
Azusa's first LED project was the red traffic signal change out to LED close to a decade ago. The
application of LED Technology has expanded beyond lighting to include, but is not limited to, LED
backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) televisions and computer monitors, traffic signals, indoor and
outdoor lighting, exit signs, parking lot and street lights and sign boards. These ENERGY STAR®
rated LED technologies have many advantages over standard technologies, such as:
• Last up to 4 times longer than typical lighting technologies (up to 100,000 hours).
• Produce less heat than the other models, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs
associated with home and business cooling.
• Considered to be Eco -Friendly and contain no mercury.
• Are usually available in the same conventional sizes, colors and lighting temperatures.
Our first residential and commercial Public Benefits LED rebate program is the LED Backlit LCD
Television and Computer Monitor Rebate Program that provides a 25% rebate, up to a maximum of
$750, for the purchase of ENERGY STAR® rated LED Backlit LCD televisions and computer
monitors.
114
LED Technology Programs
October 26, 2009
Page 2
In addition to the aforementioned attributes of all LED technologies, the LED backlit LCD
televisions and computer monitors use much less energy than other conventional types:
• About 40 percent less than regular cold cathode LCD.
• Approximately 62 percent less than a typical cathode ray tube (CRT).
• Almost 90 percent less than similar sized plasma screen models. Based on operating hours, a
savings of about $200 or more in.electricity costs per year can be achieved over a similar
plasma screen model.
Going forward, Azusa Light and Water will continue to evaluate new LED technologies to
incorporate into the LED Technology Program series.
FISCAL IMPACT
LED Technologies Rebate funds of $20,000 have been budgeted in Public Benefit Programs
account number 24-40-739-082-6625/MTSLED.
