WHEREAS, The California Cites of Alameda, Healdsburg, Lodi, Lompoc, Palo Alto, Redding,
Roseville, Santa Clara, and Ukiah; the Modesto Irrigation District; the Sacramento Municipal Utility
District, the Turlock Irrigation District; and the Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative are members
of the Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC); and
WHEREAS, on behalf of its members, TANC has historically participated and or litigated
Transmission Owner rate cases before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to ensure
the least cost impact to the cost of transmission for TANC members who transact in the CAISO
markets; and
WHEREAS, The City seeks to enter into an Agreement with TANC to continue the City's
representation in transmission owner rate cases under a revised cost allocation principal for a term
of three (3) years for an amount not to exceed the annual amount set by the TANC Commission; and

physical environment and is therefore not a "project" for purposes of Section 21065 the California
Environmental Quality Act. No environmental review is necessary; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of Ukiah authorizes to enter into
a Project Agreement with TANC, including any non -substantial changes as approved by the City's
