Senior Management Analyst Adams provided the City Council with a staff report (as per written material), and introduced Regional Manager of Southern California Edison, Mr. Viet Tran. In response to the questions of the City Council, Mr. Tran made the following comments: · That rates are raised by way of a hearing process that may take several months . That this year's rates were increased due to the increase of natural gas, aging infrastructure, and expansion of substations . That increased rates would pay for natural gas costs, infrastructure, substations, and equipment for system reliability and would be provided at cost to the rate payer · That Southern California Edison would not profit from any rate increases · That the system used to determine rates would be a tiered system that must be approved by the Public Utilities Commission · That Southern California Edison offers its customers with rebate programs, energy- efficiency programs, and incentives for customers · That because the baseline program is tiered, the lower two tiers (1,2) receive the maximum benefit of baseline allocation . That per State Law, Southern California Edison would not be permitted to increase rates for tiers 1 and 2, resulting in tiers 3, 4, and 5 bearing the burden of the cost · That Southern California Edison requested permission from the Public Utilities Commission to defer an increase in rates from August 1, 2006 to November 4, 2006 . That Southern California Edison offers its customers rebates for air-conditioning cycling programs, refrigerators, whole house fans, pool motors, etc. In response to Council Member Edwards' question, Mr. Tran stated that there would be a medical baseline allowance for customers with special needs. Referencing the Tier System, Mr. Tran stated that the Tier System was created by the Public Utilities Commission to encourage customers to conserve energy. For Council Member Naggar, Mr. Tran advised that it would be his opinion that the rebate for whole house fan would be approximately $80. Mr. Tran advised that more information with regard to Understanding Baseline Tiered Rates could be found at www.sc.com. At this time, the public hearing was opened and due to no speakers, it was closed. City Manager Nelson stated that with the consensus of the City Council, it would be his desire to meet and to discuss in more detail baseline rates with Mr. Tran and staff to better understand and, thereby, to better educate the public. Concurring with Mr. Nelson's suggestion, Council Member Comerchero requested that with the R:lMinutesl080806 7 I Council's approval, a letter be drafted to the Public Utilities Commission (copying the legislators in Sacramento and Western Riverside County of Governments) to inquire about the potential inequities of the City's established baseline zone. Mr. Comerchero requested that this item be agendized for the August 22, 2006, City Council meeting. It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to draft the recommended letter.
