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
incorporated as Exhibit A is hereby adopted and that the new electric rates
shall be effective for all utility bills mailed to customers on and after
December 1, 2009.
SECTION 2. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.
SECTION 3. Authorization. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the
passage and adoption of this Resolution.

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.
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).
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 -$100,000<RPC<+$100,000, then ARPC=$0
(iv) If$100,000<RPC<+$750,000, thenARPC=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.
