AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve Supplement No. 4 to the
Northern California Power Agency Joint Powers Agreement approving the Bay Area
Rapid Transit District as a full member to NCPA (EUD)
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2005
PREPARED BY: Interim Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
approve supplement number 4 to the Northern California Power Agency
Joint Powers Agreement approving the Bay Area Rapid Transit District as
a full member to NCPA.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Northern California Power Agency {NCPA} was formed in 1968 for the
purpose of utilizing the joint action of participating public power entities to
pursue common interests for the benefit of all such members. The San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) has been an Associate NCPA Member since July 31, 1997.
NCPA has been performing scheduling and related energy services for BART to assist BART with the matching of
loads and resources pursuant to BART's supply contract with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and
transmission arrangements with PG&E. California Senate Bill No. 1201, approved by the Governor on September
21, 2004, provides BART, in part, the ability to receive electric power from municipal entities. BART's BPA supply
contract terminates on June 30, 2006 and BART is seeking alternative to such supply including renewable and
conventional generating resources and other supply arrangements with municipal entities, and BART may utilize
NCPA services to assist in attaining such objective. BART also desires to explore the utilization of, and
participation in, the NCPA Power Pool,
The NCPA Commission acting by and through its full participation in the NCPA JPA, approved the inclusion of
BART as a full member and directed NCPA's General Manager to expeditiously implement BART's full NCPA
membership request by submitting JPA Supplement No.4 to the Members for your approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to Lodi Electric Uti#ty associated with BART's membership in
NCPA during the current fiscal year. In future years, should BART decide to join the NCPA
pool, Lodi Electric's pooling related costs at NCPA would go down as the common costs of
pooling would be spread amongst a larger base of participants.
FUNDING: No funding changes are required.
