AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
VIA: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIESKc
FROM: SONIA CARVALHO, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: DECEMBER 17, 2001
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE REGARDING AGREEMENTS NEGOTIATED BY DIRECTOR OF
UTILITIES AND EXECUTED BY THE CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council introduce and waive further reading of
Ordinance No. 0= regarding agreements negotiated by the Director of Utilities
and executed by the City Manager.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 98-014, effective October 5, 1998, which
added Sec. 2-296 to the Azusa Municipal Code to establish certain authority for the
Director of Utilities to negotiate agreements for the purchase and sale of energy and
energy transmission service. In addition, the City Manager is authorized to execute
on behalf of the City the agreements negotiated by the Director of Utilities. All such
agreements are required to be presented to the City Council/Utility Board within 14
days after such an agreement is executed. Ordinance No. 98-014 was adopted in
order to facilitate the negotiation and execution of agreements for the timely
acquisition of important sources of energy and energy transmission service.
Taking into account the need to facilitate the negotiation and execution of agreements
for the timely acquisition of scarce water resources, the proposed ordinance would
provide authority for the negotiation and execution of water agreements along the
same lines as the authority for energy agreements. ,,/

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance would not have any new or increased fiscal impact since the
authority of the City to enter into such agreements already exists. The proposed
ordinance would simply provide a new process that may be implemented for the
efficient negotiation and execution of such agreements.
