AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES(
DATE: MARCH 25, 2002
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING EXISTING STREET LIGHTING RATE SCHEDULE (SL-2)
APPLICABLE TO OUTDOOR AREA LIGHTING AND RELATED SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council adopt attached resolution, in accordance
with provisions of Section 13.08.020 of the Azusa Municipal Code, to approve an amended
Schedule SL-2 (Exhibit A), Charges and Regulations, concerning outdoor area lighting services
provided by Azusa Light &Water.
BACKGROUND
Eller Media and City of Azusa entered into an agreement whereby Eller Media would install bus
shelters at various locations within the City boundary. These bus shelters contain lighting facilities
which must be operated and maintained by Eller Media. In accordance with Azusa Light &
Water's Utility Rules & Regulations, electric services to these bus shelters would customarily
require metering equipment in order to record electricity usage of customer. However, the
aggregated constant energy consumption by these bus shelters is relatively small, and can be
estimated from regular dusk to dawn operating hours.As such,metering equipment is impractical
and not warranted. Moreover, metering equipment in the form of a metal pedestal would pose
as a visual nuisance near bus shelters.
Azusa Light & Water currently has an existing rate schedule to cover area lighting except
provisions for service to a bus shelter. Since bus shelter lighting is similar to outdoor area
lighting, staff had determined that an amendment to existing SL-2 rate schedule (EXHIBIT B)
would be appropriate to cover bus shelter service and other electric customers under similar
arrangements.Moreover,the amendment would incorporate customer service charges consistent
with comparable Edison rate schedule LS-2 (EXHIBIT C). 3/45-/‘,1—,
FISCAL IMPACT
Amendments to existing Schedule SL-2 helps simplify and reduce redundant rate schedules for
similar services. Also Azusa Light &Water collects a monthly customer service charge at each
bus shelter service location to cover customary billing costs like any other customer account.
Therefore,we don't anticipate any fiscal impact on proposed amendments to rate Schedule SL-2.
