FROM:
February 4, 1987
D. Kent Payne, City Manager
Maurice K. Roper, Director of Electric Utility
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ELECTRIC RATE ADJUSTMENT EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 1987
Effective January 5, 1987, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
granted Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) a rate change. We have
reviewed the CPUC filing information and rate information available to us from
PG&E and are making the following recommendations for rate adjustments to the
City of Ukiah customers for the City Council consideration.
Residential Rate Schedule 1600:
This rate has been changed from a three tier rate to a two tier rate with
adjustments made within the tiers to reduce the cost to customers who use 500
and less kilowatt hours and who use energy on the high end side, 4000 to 5000
kilowatt hours. The difference is picked up by customers that use from 500 to
3500 kilowatt hours; therefore, customers in the mid range will experience an
increase from 5% to 9%. Customers on the high to low levels will see an
approximate 2% reduction.
Per City Council policy, we have reduced the base rate 5% with the Fuel Cost
Adjustment passed along as approved by the CPUC. This will leave residential
rates under adopted PG&E rates by approximately 2.8% to 4.5% depending on the
actual usage. A minimum charge is also being increased to $5.00 per meter,
per month. It was previously $2.00 per meter, per month.
Commercial Rate Schedule 1602
These rates are being adjusted such that there will be a winter and a summer
rate. The winter rate will be applicable from November I through April 30.
The summer rate will be applicable from May 1 through October 31. This will
result in a decrease for winter usage with a corresponding increase for the
summer usage, as can be seen from the attached tabulation. A customer charge
of $5.00 per meter, per month, for single phase service and $6.25 per meter,
per month, for poly phase is being added to the rates with adjustments being
made to the energy charges to accomplish the desired results in the rates.
In keeping with the established City Council policy, the PG&E base rate is
being reduced 5% and the 1 mil is added to arrive at the appropriate base rate
(the 1 mil charge is for the Capital Improvement Fees approved previously).
The fuel cost adjustment is being passed along as approved by the CPUC. The
result of this change will mean an approximate 2% annual increase to customers
on the Commercial Rate Schedule 1602. City of Ukiah rates will be from 3% to
4% under corresponding PG&E charges.
Commercial Rate Schedule 1602-DM
This rate is used for higher use commercial electrical users and as with the
previous rate schedule will also have a winter and summer rate. The rate is
being arrived at on the same basis as the Schedule 1602 with an overall annual
increase of approximately 1.4%. The rate will be approximately 3% below the
equivalent PG&E rate. A customer charge of $50.00 has been added to the
1602-DM rate and the demand charge has been increased to $2.72 per KW of
demand. To obtain the results, the energy charge has been decreased
accordingly to accomplish an approximate increase as stated above.
Outdoor Lighting Schedule 1608-1,2 and 3
The fuel cost is being passed along on this rate schedule and will result in
only minor adjustments to the Outdoor Lighting Schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving
the rates as submitted to become effective March 1, 1987, to reflect the
appropriate adjustment to remain consistent with PG&E as stated in this
memorandum.

CITY OF UKIAH
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
TO CONSIDER AN ADJUSTMENT OF BASE AND FUEL COST
OF DOMESTIC AND COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL RATES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH will
hold a public hearing on February 18, 1987, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon
thereafter as may be heard, in the Public Meeting Room of the Grace
Hudson Museum, 431 South Main Street, to consider a rate adjustment of
Residential and Commercial Electrical Rates. The fuel cost and base
rate are being adjusted with the end result of an approximate 2.0%
decrease to residential users that use smaller amounts (0 - 500 kwh) and
larger users in the range of 3000 - 5000 kwh. Users in the medium range
(1000 - 2000 kwh) will be increased an average of 7.2%. The adjustment
of fuel and base rate in the Commercial rates will increase customers on
the 1602 Schedule approximately 2.0% and the 1602-DM Schedule will
increase approximately 1.4%. The Commercial rates are being increased
in the Summer (May 1 - October 31) and decreased in the Winter months
(November 1 - April 30) such that the annual increase will be those
quoted above. Copies of the proposed rates are published herein.
Effective date is proposed to begin February 1, 1987. A copy of the
City Manager's report and recommendation is on file with the City Clerk
and is available for review by interested persons.
