a) To consider membership in the Transmission Agency of Northern
California (Joint Power Agreement for ownership Interest in the
3rd Pacific Northwest Intertie)
The matter was introduced by City Manager Glaves. A summarization of
the status of the California -Oregon Transmission Project as prepared
by Lloyd H. Harvego was presented for Council's review as follows:
"The purpose of the memorandum is to summarize the present status of
the California -Oregon Transmission Project. There have been a number
of key actions in the last two weeks, all of which have been provided
to you verbally, however, I feel it- is appropriate that we summarize
then in writing for you. In respect to the CDQA process, progress has
been made to a limited extent in getting Western to recognize that
TANG will be the Lead Agency under CFQA. This has been a long slow
process, but I believe we have generally accomplished our objectives.
I've had several discussions with the Southern California Public
Agencies and believe that they are generally prepared to participate
in TANG. Those agencies who will be active participants in the
Project are: Azusa, Anaheim, Banning, Colton, Riverside and Vernon.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Glendale, and Pasadena
have been invited, but I am not particularly encouraged about their
participation. Los Angeles will have a non-voting membership in the
Project Management Committee. I believe that we can cane up with an
informal working relationship that will be beneficial to all parties.
The most important recent action has been the successful agreement on
the allocation of the new line capacity. The general allocation is as
follows:
1. TANC - 700 MW; which would decrease to 653 MW on January 1, 2005,
if IJA1R chose to became a Participant.
2. Southern California Public Agencies - 125 NW; reducing to 117 MN
in 2005 for DWR.
3. Investor-C)rmed Utilities - 675 MW; reducing to 630 6W in 2005 for
DWR.
4. Western Area Power Administration - 100 MW.
5. MR - 100 MW; commencing on January 1, 2005.
In addition to the above, SMUD obtained agreement that their 200 MV of
transmission capacity on the existing Intertie System will be
reinstated and continued for the life of the lines. SdW will have
the right to assign up to 50 MW of their capacity to others. As a
result of this action, S1V1JD agreed to lower their percentage
participation in TANC from 35 percent to approximately 30.6 percent.
Further, as part of the overall arrangements, TANG has agreed to lay
off varying amounts of line capacity to both Investor -Owned Utilities
and the Southern California Mbnicipal Agencies. Based upon these
V Continued November 20, 1984
proceedings, the new percentage participation by the TAMC Members is
as follows:
TANC
Project
Member
Share %
SVM
30.6
Santa Clara
20.2
MID
19.2
TED
12.9
NCPA
10.7
Redding
6.4
TOICAL
100.0
The amount of capacity available to TANC and each of the TANG Members
is indicated in Attachments 1 and 2.
In view of the recent change in the participation percentages, each
Member needs to consider whether or not a revised Board action is
required. If they do, it should also be done in a manner that can
accommodate future inclusion of the Southern California Municipal
Agencies. I will provide additional information in the near future.
The plan at the present time is to include the basic understanding
between the parties in a Memorandum of Understanding, a draft copy of
which is attached, which will be included in the Secretary's Report to
Congress. We plan to review and provide input into this report. A
meeting will be held at RVII offices on Tuesday, November 13 at 2 p.m.
As you can see, TANG is now taking on additional responsibilities.
This is necessary to retain the kind of control that the public
agencies of Northern California have now achieved. Therefore, it is
very important that the agency be formally organized as soon as
practicable.
It should be noted that as part of the overall arrangements worked out
with Investor -Owned Utilities, transmission line capacity between
Tesla and Midway has also been provided to TANC. The total amount is
300 MW, which included 150 NW for the M -S -R San Juan Project. This
amount was basically developed on the basis that PGandE agreed to
provide transmission for San Juan, and in the last round of
negotiations they agreed to include some additional capacity to be
used by all Memrbers.
Under the direction of your Management Team, chaired by Archer Pugh
and consisting of Archer Pugh, John Mattimoe, and Don Von Raesfeld,
the first phase of this overall project seems to be progressing in a
very satisfactory manner. There will undoubtedly be many obstacles
and a great deal of difficulties still ahead of us. However, I
believe that as a group you have indicated your ability to succeed
when you work together. As one who has been involved in the public
power business in Northern California for more than 20 years, I am
certainly encouraged to see the significant and historic progress that
has been made. The result will be that the Northern California
publics will obtain a total of 900 NIV of transmission capacity to the
Northwest; 700 MfV to TANG, and 200 AV to &IM. I think this is a
significant accomplishment.
We will be contacting you for additional comments on these matters in
the near future."
Also present for Council review was the proposed Joint Powers
Agreement Transmission Agency of California of Northern California
which indicates Lodi's participation percentage at 1.686%.
Various capacity tables and diagrams were presented for Council's
perusal.
