RESOLUTION NO. 9i -rim
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA SUPPORTING H.R. 2224, THE
MARKEY-MOOREHEAD ELECTRIC POWER FAIR
ACCESS ACT OF 1991
WHEREAS, electric transmission is one of the three
major segments of the electric utility industry -
generation, transmission and distribution. Transmission
remains the most monopolized segment among them. Under the
banner of competition for which generation has greatly
flourished in recent years, transmission still poses an
impediment towards a more competitive wholesale power
market.
WHEREAS, the City of Azusa is unique among medium-
sized cities in the Western United States in that it has
maintained its own electrical utility for the benefit of its
citizens for many years. However, many potential power
purchase contracts the City of Azusa has negotiated in
recent years have gone to the wayside because of denial of
transmission services by other utilities.
WHEREAS, a fair access to transmission facilities
would promote better utilization of both generation and
transmission resources.
WHEREAS, H.R. 2224 is one of the more sensible and
practical bills for the electric utility industry and if
enacted would enable vigorously competitive wholesale power
markets to emerge and would promote the use of the lowest
cost electrical power resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council
of the City of Azusa as follows:
SECTION 3. The City Council of the City of Azusa
supports H.R. 2224 and urges both the House of
Representatives and the Senate of the United States to adopt
this bill.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Azusa
further urges its congressman, the Honorable Matthew
Martinez, to co-sponsor this bill and to assist in its
adoption.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify the
adoption of this Resolution.
