TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES/
-DATE: APRIL 23, 2007
SUBJECT: LEASE EXTENSION WITH STATE OF CALIFORNIA
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council: (1) approve the State of
California's request for a 4-month extension of their lease of office space located in Suite 2B
of the Azusa Light &Water office building; and (2) authorize the City Manager to execute
Lease Agreement amendment once it has been approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
In 2002, the City of Azusa entered into a 5-year lease agreement with the State of California
for 2,475 square feet of office space located in the west wing of upstairs offices of the Light
&Water Administration Building. At its February 27, 2006, Utility Board meeting, the Board
authorized staff to not renew the State's lease agreement which ends May 31, 2007. After
notifying the State that the City will not renew the lease, the State found a new office location
but it will not be ready for occupancy until August 2007. Thus, the State requested an
extension of its lease with the City from June 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 at current
monthly rental amount of $4,084. Staff recommends approval of this request with the
understanding all other terms and conditions of the lease remain in effect. Pursuant to the
Holding Over clause on paragraph 27 of the attached lease agreement, in the event the State
remains in possession of the premises after the expiration of the lease term, or any extension
thereof, the lease shall be automatically extended on a month to month basis, subject to thirty
days termination by either party.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be $16,336 for additional four months rental income.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 23, 2007
SUBJECT: WATER RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR FISCAL YEARS 2007-2008 AND 2009-2010 /
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council:
a) Accept the report by Foresight Consulting setting forth a projection of the water
utility's revenue requirement, cost of serving various customer classes, and proposed
rate adjustments for Fiscal Years 2007-2008, 2009-2010 and 2011-12' and
b) Authorize staff to prepare and post all doeumenfs necessary foF legally mandated
public hearing scheduled for June 18, 2007.
BACKGROUND
In December 2006, Azusa Light &Water issued $54.85 million in debt in the form of revenue
bonds to pay for various required water utility infrastructure. Prior to the issuance of debt, a
financial plan was adopted by the Utility Board in October 2006, which authorized staff to
pursue debt repayment with a series of water rate adjustments commencing with one
effective July 1, 2007, subject to review by a third party consultant and compliance with
Proposition 218 and recent court cases.
In January 2007, Foresight Consulting was selected through a competitive process to conduct
the study on the need for water rate adjustments. The study has now been completed and
three rate adjustments are recommended every two years, effective July I of 2007, 2009 and
201 1. Rather than adopt three biennial rate adjustments, staff is recommending that two
biennial rate adjustments be adopted, effective July I of 2007 and 2009. This will give staff
an opportunity to update the financial forecast and determine financial needs in light of
changes in costs and capital improvement project requirements at a later time.
Because of the need to comply with new laws and court cases that require costs to be
allocated to customers based on the "cost to serve" respective customer classes, e.g.,
customers with certain water meter sizes, the proposed rate adjustment does not affect all
customers the same way, and because of this, a detailed report follows.
041
The first step of the cost of service study was to determine overall revenue requirements of
the water utility over the next five years. Several factors were considered in this regard,
including operating and non-operating costs, capital improvement costs, debt service and
expected growth of the utility's customer base and revenues. Based on these factors,
Foresight Consulting projects the following revenue requirement over the next five years:
FY 07-08 FY 08-09 FY 09-10 FY 10-11 FY 11-12
$15,553,811 $15,520,199 $16,902,733 $20,919,002 1 $21,573,579
The stepped up increases in FY 2009-2010 and FY 2010-2011, are largely due to increased
capital improvement project expenses, including debt service payment requirements of the
2006 Revenue Bond Issuance. Annual debt service is expected to increase from $1 ,553,808
in FY 2007-2008, to $2,053,199 in FY 2009-2010, and to $4,520,170 by FY 2010-2011 , at
which time debt service levelizes. Capital spending on system maintenance and
improvements during this time is also expected to climb from about $4 million to about $5
million annually.
In breaking down rates into customer classes, fixed costs and variable costs were identified.
Fixed costs include customer service costs, system maintenance, and debt service payments,
for example. These costs are recovered through what is referred to as a meter charge, and
these meter charges vary by meter size but are applied at a fixed monthly rate. Since larger
meters place more demand on the water system, industry standard hydraulic factors (water
flow rates for different size pipes) were used to determine each meter's share of these fixed
costs. Following table shows adjusted meter charges based on cost of service principles:
Recommended Meter Service Charges
Azusa Light& Water
Current Recommended Meter Service Charges
Meter Size Charges FY'07-08 FY'08-09 FY'09-10
5/8-3/4" $11.56 $12.50 $12.50 $13.25
1" $20.11 $17.61 $17.61 $18.67
11/2" $36.93 $30.27 $30.27 $32.09
2" $59.04 $45.53 $45.53 $48.27
3" $112.49 $93.91 $93.91 $99.54
4" $181.77 $157.46 $157.46 $166.91
6" $320.25 $322.80 $322.80 $342.17
8" $463.27 $462.65 $462.65 $490.41
10" $606.45 $742.44 $742.44 $786.98
12" $757.90 $1,098.44 $1,098.44 $1,164.35
Variable costs include largely those costs associated with water production, such as water
treatment, pumping costs and water right lease expenses. These costs are recovered through
commodity charges or water usage charges, per hundred cubic feet of water used or "ccf'.
The percent of water consumption by customer class is the basis for allocating these costs, so
that if customers with meters 5/8" - 3/4" in diameter consume 55% of the water, then this
class of customers is to bear 55% of the variable cost to produce the water. The table on the
next page shows adjusted commodity charges based on cost of service principles.

As may be noted from studying the above two tables, the proposed rates shift a greater
portion of fixed costs to customers with 5/8" - 3/4" meters; also, because of the change in
the breakpoints of the current two tier system, those with higher water usage will actually see
some reduction in their overall water rates, again, because those rates are what is required to
reflect the cost to serve the respective customer class. Tables comparing rates of different
meter sizes at different levels of consumption are included in attached study report and a
more detailed explanation is included in the section of the attached report on the
methodology used to formulate proposed rates.
Pursuant to the provisions of Proposition 218, and the recent California Supreme Court case
of Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Kari Verlil,• E.W. Kelley, our City Attorney has
recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing to consider the proposed rate
adjustments, and provide a 45-day advanced notice to property owners located in our water
service area of the public hearing. The draft Public Notice has been prepared and is attached
for your review and consideration. Once approved, staff will have the notice printed and
mailed to approximately 23,000 property owners for a public hearing on June 18, 2007.
The Utility Board should be aware that "If written protests against the proposed rate
adjustments and fee schedule are not presented by a majority of owners of the identified
parcels upon which the rates and fee schedule are proposed to be imposed, the City Council
will be authorized to impose the rates and fee schedule."
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed 6% rate adjustment effective July 1, 2007, is expected to add about $872,000
annually to the water utility metered service fees, and the 6% rate adjustment effective July 1,
2009, is expected to add about $960,000 annually to the water utility metered service fees.
These additional revenues will meet the debt coverage requirements of existing bond
covenants and are expected to provide adequate reserve levels for the water utility, with a
forecasted cash balance of $18.1 million at the end of FY 2010-2011 .

1 . INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
In February 2007, Asuza Light & Water (AL&W) retained Foresight Consulting to
prepare a cost-of-service study of its municipal water rates. This report describes our
analysis and documents the results.
For the past twelve years, AL&W has adjusted its rates by forecasting its revenue
requirement and then applying an across-the-board percentage adjustment to all rates
and customer classes. However, Prop 218 requires that municipalities ensure that rate
increases reflect the cost of serving the various customer classes.
This cost-of-service analysis incorporates several specific tasks in order to comply with
Prop 218 as well as achieve other AL&W objectives, including:
• Projecting revenue requirements, including new capital costs
• Allocating costs following cost-of-service principles
• Evaluating rate structure alternatives that jointly consider water conservation,
revenue stability, and impacts on customer's monthly water bills
The results of the revenue requirements analysis indicate AL&W will experience an
increase in total annual revenue requirement of approximately.34% over the next five
years, increasing from $16.0 million in FY'06-07 to $21.5 million in FY'11-12. Most of
this increase is due to capital improvements which, by FY'11-12, will total $9.5 million
including both cash-funding and debt service payments related to capital projects.

As a result of this water rate analysis, Foresight is recommending that AL&W continue
with its current two-tier water rates but implement other specific adjustments in order to
comply with Prop 218 requirements. These adjustments include:
• changes to the individual meter service charges
• initial cost-of-service adjustments to commodity rates in FY'07-08 followed by
"across-the-board" increases in subsequent years
• changes to individual tier breakpoints (which affects how much of each
customer's consumption is charged Tier 1 versus Tier 2 water rates)
The percentage changes in meter service charges (shown in gold) and commodity rates
(shown in blue) are illustrated in Figure 2 on the next page.

As Figure 2 indicates, all Tier 1 and Tier 2 commodity rates are increased across-the-
board by 6%, while changes in individual meter service charges vary significantly
depending on the meter size. Figures 3 and 4 show the combined effect of meter
charges and commodity rates on monthly water bills for the two largest customer
classes, customers with 5/8"-1" and 2" meters, respectively. Both the recommended and
current two-tier rates on these figures include the 6% across-the-board rate increases.

Figure 3 indicates there is only a slight difference in the monthly water charges for the
recommended versus the existing two-tier rate structure for the 5/8"-1" customer class,
which includes most residential customers. However, Figure 4 shows that the monthly
charges for 2" meter customers actually decline in the recommended versus the existing
rate structure.

2. COST-OF-SERVICE RATE METHODOLOGY
The methodology used in evaluating AL&W's water rates and rate structure conform to
American Water Works Association's (AWWA) procedures, which is the commonly
accepted industry standard used throughout the United States for cost-of-service rate
studies. Figure 5 below summarizes this methodology.

AWWA Cost-of-Service Rate Methodology
Revenue Requirements — This methodology begins by developing the total revenue
requirements. All "non-rate" revenue sources such as interest earnings, payments
received for water rights, and other revenue not collected through water rates, are then
deducted from the total revenue requirements. The result is the net revenue that must
be collected from.rates each year.
Functionalized Costs — Once the net revenue requirements have been defined, the
individual budget line items included in the net revenue requirements (such as
production costs) are then allocated to various functional categories, including:
• Customer related costs (such as customer billing and account costs)
• Capacity related costs (such as the fixed costs for source of supply)
•' Commodity related costs (such as the costs of purchased water)
• Distribution related costs (such as pumping costs)
Once these costs are organized in this manner, customer and capacity related costs,
which are generally thought of as fixed costs, are used to calculate fixed monthly meter
service charges. Commodity and distribution related costs, which are generally thought
of as variable costs, are used to calculate commodity charges. This process is
summarized in the next few paragraphs.
Meter Service Charges — Each customer class (i.e., each meter size) is allocated its
proportionate share of the customer- and capacity-related costs. This is done on the
basis of the unit costs, as follows:
+'nnteo o±rec�cid i�ar~r Page 4 of 13 April 17,2007
049
FORESIGHT CONSULTING Final Report:COS Study for Municipal Water Rates
Asuza Light& Water
Calculation of Unit Costs:
• Customer Costs = Customer costs _ total customer accounts (i.e., $/account)
• Capacity Costs = Capacity-related costs - total equivalent meters
(i.e., $/equivalent meter)
(Equivalent meters are the number of typical residential meters represented by each
meter size, and reflect their hydraulic capacity' based on standardized measurements2.)
Therecommended meter service charges are then calculated by addingthe customer
and capacity-related unit costs for each meter size.
Commodity Rates — Commodity and distribution-related costs were then used to
calculate commodity rates based on the total annual water consumption of each meter
size. For example, since 5/8"-3/4" meters accounted for 48.9% of the total annual water
consumption, 5/8"-3/4" meters were allocated 48.9% of the commodity-related revenue
requirements. For this analysis, we have assumed that the consumption of each meter
size is the same as it was in 2006. Figure 6 shows the percentage of the total annual
water consumption for each meter size.

Both the current and recommended commodity rates consist of two tiers, which allow for
a water conservation oriented rate structure by charging higher rates to customers using
higher amounts of water, thereby encouraging more efficient consumption habits.
The total distribution of water usage by customer class (i.e., the distribution pattern) was
an important component in setting the tier breakpoints. For example, Figure 7 on the
next page shows the consumption data for AL&W 5/8' to 1" meters.
1 A typical residential meter is considered to be a 3/4"meter,which would have a hydraulic capacity factor of"1'. Likewise, if a 3/4"
meter has a hydraulic capacity of 30 gallons per minute(gpm),and an 8"meter has a capacity of 1,800 gpm,the 8"meter would
have a hydraulic capacity factor of 60(i.e., 1,800 gpm+30 gpm=60).

Because the distribution pattern shown in Figure 7 identifies the quantity of water
consumption above and below any particular tier breakpoint, once the commodity
revenue requirement for a meter size is know, the tier breakpoint can be set so as to
produce that level of commodity rate revenue. In other words, the tier breakpoints are
set so that the commodity revenue requirement for each meter size equals the total
water consumption in each tier times each tier rate. This ensures that each customer
class is paying its equitable share of the commodity-based revenue requirements.
Once the revenue requirements were completed, and both the meter service charges
and the commodity rates were determined, the final factor in arriving at the
recommended rates was to evaluate AL&W's overall financial picture and how that
affects the annual rate adjustments. This is done through the financial plan.
Financial Plan — The total amount of revenue that should be recovered each year from
ALM rate payers is ultimately determined though a financial planning process. This
process considers AL&W's reserve fund levels and longer term financial objectives,
such as future funding needs for capital improvement projects and meeting debt service
coverage requirements in addition to ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
Therefore, once the cost-of-service meter service charges and commodity rates have
been calculated in the cost-of-service analysis, they are then adjusted based on the
overall percentage rate increase needed as determined in the financial plan.
The next section provides an overview of the results of the cost-of-service rate analysis
and the recommended rates based on the financial plan. Further details are provided in
the Appendix, which has been provided to ALM staff separately from this report.

Note:These revenues exclude Miller Brewery revenue,estimated to be 1 million,which Me Ciry collects under a separate contract.
Calculation of Meter Service Charges - As noted in Table 5, the total revenue
allocated to "fixed charges," ,or the monthly meter service charges, is approximately
$4.86 million, or 35.9% of the total revenue requirements. This total is collected through
meter service charges that calculated based on the two types of unit costs previously
noted: (1) customer cost unit costs, or customer costs divided by total number of
accounts, and (2) capacity unit costs, or capacity costs divided by the total number of
equivalent meters.
Table 6 summarizes the calculation of the meter service charges for each meter size.
These charges do not yet include the annual rate increases identified in the financial
plan, which ultimately determines the overall percent increase in total rate revenue.

Calculation of Commodity Rates - The functionalized cost allocations previously
shown in Table 5 indicated that approximately $8.66 million should be collected through
commodity rates. As mentioned previously, the percentage of this revenue allocated to
each customer class is based on annual water consumption. Table 7 on the following
page summarizes this calculation and shows the total revenue requirements for each
meter size.

As a result of the commodity rate analysis, the tier rates were kept the same but the tier
breakpoints were adjusted so that the revenue recovered from each customer class
matches the revenue requirements shown in Table 7. This adjustment was made on the
basis of the distribution data for each meter size, such as the data previously shown in
Figure 7. The rates and new tier breakpoints are shown in Table 8.

Financial Plan — The financial plan incorporates several components, including the
baseline net revenue requirements, the revenue generated from current rates, overall
percentage rate increases, and the total amount of revenue needed to maintain
reasonable levels of reserve funds. These components are considered together in
determining the overall level of rate increases. Table 9 on the next page summarizes
the financial plan and shows that an overall increase of 6% in FY'07-08, FY'09-10 and
FYI 1-12 will result in ending reserve fund levels that are in line with ALM's objectives.

4. CONCLUSION
This report has briefly summarized the cost-of-service rate analysis of AL&W's water
rates and described how the monthly service charges and commodity rates were
calculated. Foresight has worked closely with AL&W staff to develop accurate data and
review a number of alternative rate structures before selecting the recommended two-
tier alternative. The recommended rates are those considered to be most equitable to
AL&W's water customers as a whole; the rate structure will provide adequate income to
satisfy the Water Utility's debt service coverage, maintain a prudent reserve level and,
hence, its good credit rating.
The recommended rate structure does not deviate significantly from AL&W's current
rates, and most customers will experience a modest rate increase of approximately 6%
beginning in FY'07-08. Subsequent rate increases would be needed in FY'09-10 and
FYI 1-12.
Foresight recommends the City adopt multi-year rate increases covering the period of
FY'07-08 through FY'11-12, with three rate increases effective on July 1 , 2007, July 1 ,
2009, and July 1 2011. AL&W should continue to assess its rates and revenue
requirements each year, but in particular should re-evaluate its capital improvement
costs, water supply conditions, and annual rate adjustments towards the end of the five-
year period covered in the financial plan developed as a component of this study.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR-OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 23, 2007
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS WITH SALT RIVER PROJECT, THE CITY OF
RIVERSIDE, AND THE STRUCTURE GROUP FOR VARIOUS POWER
SCHEDULING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve a 3-month extension of the existing Scheduling Services Agreement
(Agreement) with Salt River Project (SRP) and authorize the Mayor to execute the
Agreement
2. Conceptually approve the selection of the City of Riverside (Riverside) to replace SRP's
scheduling services agreement on October 1, 2007, and authorize staff to finalize an
agreement mutually satisfactory to both parties within the parameters set forth below,
and bring back the final agreement for approval.
3. Approve and authorize staff to engage the services of the Structure Group to engineer,
design, test and put in operation the software/hardware interfaces with the City of
Riverside's power scheduling system, and authorize City Manager to execute the
Service Agreement when it is finalized.
BACKGROUND
The Power Resources Division currently operates efficiently from an operational standpoint by
conducting all relevant power pre-scheduling, power accounting and settlement, wholesale
trading functions in house and contracts out the after-the-hour and weekend operational
coverage with an outside service provider, the Salt River Project, a quasi-municipal utility in
Arizona. The current power operational arrangement has been very effective and successful in
the past 8 years since the inception of California electric deregulation in 1998.
However, due to the foreseeable changes in the electricity market structure in California
060
caused by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Market Redesign and
Technological Upgrade (MRTU) program slated to commence operation in early 2008 and the
ever increasing need to schedule renewable resources which are intermittent in nature (e.g.,
wind power resource only generates electricity when wind blows and thus requires constant
monitoring and changes to power schedules) staff commenced a comprehensive review of
power resource operations in the past 9-months to ensure a smooth transition to the new
CAISO operational paradigm.
Through the vigorous evaluation process detailed in the attached report, the staff has selected
Riverside to enter into a definitive agreement to replace SRP, the existing scheduling service
provider when the existing service agreement expires. To ensure smooth operational
transition staff is recommending a limited service extension.with SRP and a one-time service
agreement with the Structure Group for software/hardware interface work with Riverside's
power scheduling system. The following provides the description of the three services staff is
seeking approval on at this time:
A. 3-Month Extension of the Existing Agreement with SRP
The existing Scheduling Services Agreement with SRP will terminate on July 1, 2007. To ensure
a smooth transition to Riverside, staff sought, and SRP agreed, to extend the services through
September 30, 2007 at the current monthly service charge of $2,225 per month.
B. 21-month Service Agreement with Riverside
Riverside will provide the following scheduling services to the City:
1. Real time scheduling services in the CAISO markets before and after the CAISO market
redesign project
2. Full use of Riverside's proprietary power scheduling and settlement system to interface
with the CAISO scheduling and settlement system. (Riverside's scheduling system is
licensed and maintained by the Structure Group)
3. Real time scheduling services for intermittent renewable resources the City might
procure in the future
4. Limited day-ahead scheduling backup services (2 days per month or as agreed upon if
more than 2 days as required) when Azusa's power scheduling personnel is unavailable
due to vacation, sick, or training leaves
Riverside's service charges are (subject to final agreement):
1. $22,000 per month from October 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, inclusive of
software and hardware license and maintenance fees for the Structure Group's
scheduling/settlement product
2. $16,500 per month from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, inclusive of software
and hardware license and maintenance fees for Structure Group's
scheduling/settlement product
061
3. Monthly service charge beyond July 1, 2009 will be determined by a proportional share
of Riverside's actual cost of providing scheduling services to be reviewed and agreed
by both parties
4. Services can be terminated with a 180-day written notice by either party or by mutual
agreement
C. One-Time Service Agreement with Structure Group
Riverside has been using the power scheduling product offered by the Structure Group for
several years. The Structure Group is a recognized leader in providing software solutions to
interface with the CAISO redesigned market. The cost of the product itself is close to
$850,000 plus annual license and maintenance fee of close to $150,000 per year. The
Structure Group has agreed to let the City use Riverside's system without separate charges.
However, some front-end work is needed to properly configure and enable the City power
scheduling personnel to access Riverside's system remotely.
The one-time set up cost by Structure Group is currently estimated to not exceed $70,000
subject to a final service agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the three service arrangements in FY 07-08 is projected to be $274,675
($6,675 for SRP, $198,000 for Riverside, and $70,000 for Structure Group). Funds have been
budgeted in the Electric Fund budget account 334-0785-560-6493. The fiscal impact in FY
08-09 is projected to be $198,000 for Riverside's services. Funds will be budgeted
accordingly in the Electric Fund.

STAFF REPORT ON THE SELECTION
OF SCHEDULING SERVICES PROVIDER
APRIL 23, 2007
' . POWER RESOURCES DIVISION
AZUSA LIGHT AND WATER
065
Introduction:
This report describes the rationale for the Azusa Light and Water Power Resources
Division to reexamine the scheduling services provided by outside services provider; and
the process used to select the service provider once the existing service agreement
expires.
The report concludes with the recommendation for future service provider and the follow
up work that remains needed for a permanent paradigm for power resources operations
Background:
The Power Resources Division currently operates efficiently from an operational
standpoint by conducting all relevant power prescheduling, power accounting and
settlement, wholesale trading functions in house and contract out the after-the-hour and
weekend operational coverage with an outside service provider, the Salt River Project, a
quasi-municipal utility in Arizona. The current power operational has been very effective
and successful in the past 8 years since the inception of California electric deregulation in
1998.
However, due to the foreseeable changes in the electricity market structure in California
caused by the California Independent System Operator(CAISO) Market Redesign and
Technological Upgrade (MRTU) program slated to commence operation in early 2008
and the ever increasing need to schedule renewable resources which are intermittent in
nature, e.g., wind power resource only generates when wind blows and thus requires
constant monitoring and changes to power schedules, staff commenced a comprehensive
review of power resource operations in the past 9 months to ensure a smooth transition to
the new operational paradigm.
What Will Change? .
Under the current CAISO market structure, utilities are solely responsible for their own
customers needs by procuring sufficient resources to match consumption and the CAISO
is only responsible for ensuring sufficient transmission to deliver the resources and some
very limited role in balancing the shortfalls and surplus of the entire system. In this
paradigm, we only need to worry about resource procurement to meet our consumption
on the average and can avoid the transmission bottlenecks ahead of time by locating
resources where transmission congestion is infrequent. The after-the-hour and weekend
coverage functions are minimal and reactive in nature, i.e., there is nothing to be done
unless something is not working.
However, under the new CAISO MRTU paradigm, all energy transactions will be
conducted through a centralized energy clearing market administered by the CAISO for
energy dispatch and transmission management purposes. The implications of CAISO
MRTU to power resource operations are as follow:
066
1. Power resource operation will need to be proactive on a 7x24x365 basis, as
energy market will run around the clock every day of the year. Conceivably, we
have to make discrete decisions every single hour of the day to ensure economic
energy procurement
2. Financial stakes are much higher as one entity's action in the market will affect
the economics of everyone else operating in the market
3. Rules of the market are much more complex and sophisticated, and requires in-
depth understanding by the operations personnel
Given the CAISO MRTU, staff began a comprehensive review of our power operational
model in preparation for the MRTU.
Review Process:
Staff conducted a three-prong process to review and determine the appropriate
operational model going into the MRTU. Each prong is describes in detail as follows:
1. Examination of Existing SRP Scheduling Services
Staff conducted discussions with SRP to explore the possibility for enhancement of
existing services when the existing agreement terminates in July of this year.
SRP made clear through these discussions that it is not in the position to provide service
enhancement for MRTU as California is not their natural market, SRP itself may not be
active for their own account in the MRTU due to its complexity and high financial stakes.
It is clear that to the extent we elect to continue to use SRP services, we need to
significantly ramp up our internal resources in technical infrastructure and staffing to
accommodate it. Staff determined early on that such effort is infeasible from a cost
perspective and timing perspective.
The cost of software to interface with MRTU alone can be more than $750,000 initial
costs plus annual maintenance in the hundreds of thousand of dollars. Further, current
staffing is inadequate and at least three more positions will need to be created to handle
the additional workload at a minimum cost of$350,000 per year.
This option was eliminated at the outset as being too costly and far from optimal
2. Participation in the Southern California Public Power
Authority's (SCPPA) RFP Process
SCPPA issued an RFP in the summer of 2006 for scheduling services on behalf of
SCPPA members. The City, along with other interested SCPPA members participated
actively in this RFP process. The milestone of this process is summarized as follows:
067
a. Issuance of the RFP in the summer of 2006
b. Responses of the RFP were due October 13, 2006. Seven responses were
received
c. SCPPA interviews were conducted with three short listed service
providers on December 5, 2006. One short listed, ACES Power Marketing
was selected by SCPPA participants for further consideration
d. Power Resource Division staff conducted 3 additional interviews with
ACES Power Marketing during the first quarter of this year to determine
the capability and desirability of contracting services with ACES
The strength and weaknesses of ACES Power Marketing are summarized as follow:
Strengths:
a. It has operated in markets similar to CAISO MRTU market in Eastern US
b. It offers reasonable scheduling interface capability at no additional cost (other
than initial set up cost) to MRTU infrastructure
c. It offers proactive real time coverage and limited prescheduling backup
services at no additional cost
d. Its staff appears to have customer's interest in the highest regard as it is
strictly a service organization for the needs of its customers
e. It offers the needed services at lower cost than City would otherwise incur if
we were to perform the functions ourselves at about $240,000 per year for a
two-year contract with additional initial set up fees of about$10,000
Weaknesses:
a. It appears to lack some basic understanding of MRTU market rules.
Understandably ACES has not operated in the CAISO market thus far to serve
retail loads, so it has yet to invest knowledge capital to understand the
intricacies in operating in the CAISO markets
b. Long term commitment to the CAISO market is not known at this time.
Although,ACES Power Marketing is aggressively ramping up operations in
WesternUS, in particular in California, it remains to.be seen whether it is here
to stay
3. Bilateral Discussions with the City of Riverside
Staff also conducted in-depth discussions with the City of Riverside regarding scheduling
services in the first quarter of 2007. Riverside indeed had provided scheduling services to
the City before California electricity deregulation. We parted way with Riverside in 1998,
because Riverside was unprepared to provide scheduling services when California
deregulation began.
068
In the past eight years, Riverside made strides to enhance its capability in operating in the
CAISO market for the mere fact that it has to for its own City. It also is providing
scheduling services to the City of Banning at this time.
The strength and weaknesses of Riverside are summarized as follow:
Strengths:
a. It has the vested interest in succeed in CAISO MRTU market as it has to do it for
itself
b. It offers reasonable scheduling interface capability at no additional cost (other
than initial set up cost) to MRTU infrastructure
c. It offers real time coverage and limited prescheduling backup services at no
additional cost
d. It offers the needed services at lower cost than City would otherwise incur if we
were to perform the functions ourselves at about$205,000 per year for a 2-year
contract with additional set up fees of about$70,000
e. Commitment to the CAISO market is unequivocal, as Riverside is one of us
Weaknesses:
a. Riverside's real time staff may be facing increasing workload to provide services
to Azusa and thus might be less efficient and effective operationally
b. There might be conflict of interest from time to time as Riverside will necessarily
trade for its own account as well as for the City. There might be concerns that
Riverside will favor its own transactions over our transactions.
SELECTION:
Given the above discussion and staff evaluation, the final selection came down to be
between ACES Power Marketing and the City of Riverside, each one with its relative
strengths and weaknesses. It should be noted that selection solely based on cost is
infeasible and impractical in this case as the cost of services by both ACES Power
Marketing ($490,000 for two years) and Riverside ($480,000 for two years) are too close
to call.
The final decision came down to which entity can provide a smoother transition to .
CAISO MRTU and provides more certainty to its commitment to the California market at
least in the immediate future. In staff's view, Riverside provides a better choice at this
time.
It should be noted however, Riverside is not a perfect choice by any means as it has the
weaknesses identified above. Staff intends to work closely with the City of Riverside to
address these weaknesses during the transition process. Staff has obtained City of
069
Riverside Public Utilities management commitment to address these concerns initially
and on an ongoing basis.
RECOMMENDATION: J
Based on staff s assessment of scheduling service providers, we recommend the City to
go with the City of Riverside for a two-year contract for scheduling services.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES<V(
DATE: APRIL 23, 2007
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY OFFSITE UTILITY BOARD MEETINGS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council: (1) authorize staff to set up an offsite
meeting of the Utility Board/City Council at a school site in Azusa; and (2) provide staff with
suggestions as to which schools the Board prefers to hold its offsite meeting(s).
BACKGROUND
At its March Utility Board meeting, it was suggested that the Utility Board meet offsite on a
quarterly basis as permitted by the Board's founding ordinance. It was further suggested that
a school site be selected for the Utility Board's first offsite meeting, and that the first offsite
meeting be held on the Utility Board's regular June meeting, June 25th.
Staff contacted the School District following the Board's suggestion and found that it is
necessary to make arrangements through individual Principals of schools for use of their
facilities. Once approved by an individual Principal, the District's administrative office would
need to approve the use of the school site(s). Since school is out for summer on June 15, it
will be important to contact individual Principals to make arrangements for a June 25 meeting
at a school site, and possibly the Board's scheduled meeting of September 24, 2007.
Attached is a listing of school sites, and staff welcomes the Board's direction with respect to
which school sites it prefers staff to contact.
FISCAL IMPACT
No costs have been quoted to the City for use of school facilities as of this date. Costs will
likely include minimal amount of staff time and travel time to offsite location.

AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: April 23, 2007
SUBJECT: Senate Bill 286 — Letter of Support
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council take a stance of support for the
proposed Senate Bill 286. Staff recommends the Council authorizes the Mayor, on behalf of
the City to send a letter of support to proposed Senate Bill 286.
BACKGROUND -
Proposition 42 created a gap in funding for fiscal year 2007-2008; cities and counties will be
unable to receive any monies for local street and roads. Proposition 1 B allocates $2 billion to
cities and local counties as part of the Infrastructure Bond package.
Senate Bill 286 guarantees that every city will receive at least half of their package to spend
over the next two fiscal years; the 2007-08 "gap" year and 2008-09. SB 286 also provides
that a city may receive up to the entire amount of its share of Prop I B funds if the ability to
spend the funds is demonstrated. It is estimated the City of Azusa would receive $1,534,612
in direct funding from Prop 1 B for local transportation purposes. Senate Bill 286 is flexible and
allows cities to spend Prop 1 B monies based on local needs.

SUBJECT: Senate Bill 964 — Letter of Opposition
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council take a stance of opposition
against the proposed Senate Bill 964. Staff recommends the Council authorizes the Mayor, on
behalf of the City to send a letter of opposition to proposed Senate Bill 303.
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 964 would prohibit any use of substantive serial communication by members of a
legislative body of a local agency, or by an officer, employee, consultant, or designee of the
members of the local agency. This bill would provide that when members of a legislative body
of a local agency are authorized to access a writing of the agency as permitted by law in the
administration of their duties, the local agency shall not discriminate between or among any
of those members at to which writing or portion thereof is made available.
The bill is broadly worded to prohibit agency staff communications with a majority of the
governing body that advances or clarifies a member's understanding of an issue.
The broad sweep of this bill would limit a City Manager's, City staff's or_City-s-eonsultant's�
ability to-communicate with-the City Council outside an open and public meeting except on
the most mundane procedural matters. Senate_Bill 96_4 will significantly interfere wit a City
Council's ability to seek an understanding about issues that help in making the most informed
decisions possible.

o Staff is still engaged in information gathering and analysis activities as the State
of California continues the development of green house gas (GHG) reduction
programs. Thus, our program will necessarily evolve in time to conform with
the state's requirements. Conceptual plan (identification of the issues) will be
presented to Utility Board in June/July timeframe.

disposal tonnage and advise of any concerns.

AZUSALIGHF
INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 23, 2007 ��WC
SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE OVERVIEW/ UPDATE
Azusa Light &Water is often impacted by legislation and regulations at both the State and
Federal levels. The Utilities Department keeps abreast of legislation by participating in
membership associations, namely, the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), the
Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), and the American Public Power
Association (APPA).
Attached are recent bill listings being tracked by CMUA and SCPPA. Like last year, we
continue to see a large amount of legislation focused on green house gas emissions to reduce
global warming. One bill, Assembly Bill (AB) 94 (Levine), seeks to increase the amount of
renewable energy that investor owned utilities (IOUs) purchase and sell to their customers.
The current requirement is that renewables make up 20% of sales by 2010; the proposed
requirement through AB 94 is 33% renewables by 2020. Some bills, such as AB 809, seek to
reclassify what is counted as "renewable" energy. AB 809 seeks to change existing law to
make small hydro generation facilities 30 MW or less eligible to be counted as a renewable
resource. These are just a few samples of the types of legislation included in attachments.
While only a few positions have been taken on certain bills by our industry associations, it is
likely we will be recommending that Azusa approved some "support" or "oppose" positions in
the near future.

Cary Kals��cjjheuer, Assistant to the Director of Utilities
