HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - August 2, 2000 E-17 PHAGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for August 16, 2000, to Consider Electric Residential and Commercial Rate Changes MEETING DATE: August 2, 2000 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council set a public hearing for August 16, 2000, and by ordinance approves the attached Electric Rate Schedules to be effective October 1, 2000: 1. Electric Rate Schedule EE, Residential All Electric Service 2. Electric Rate Schedule ED, Residential SHARE Program Service 3. Electric Rate Schedule EF, Residential All Electric SHARE Program Service 4. Electric Rate Schedule EM, Mobile Home Park Service 5. Electric Rate Schedule G1, General Service — Group 1 Commercial/Industrial 6. Electric Rate Schedule G2, General Service — Group 2 Commercial/Industrial 7. Rule and Regulation No. 19, Supply to Separate Premises and Resale 8. Rule and Regulation Appendix BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed rate schedule changes are in response to customer requests, legislative issues and Electric Utility Department concerns about competitiveness. The City of Lodi has not had an "All Electric Service" Rate, because in the past the regular residential rate schedule was competitive with other utilities' "all electric" rates; this is no longer the case. This will be a self -certifying program. The City of Lodi started a Low -Income Discount program for electric service on November 1, 1991. The current Low -Income program has a ten -percent discount for those customers who qualify for SSI/SSP. The proposed changes are: a) Change the name of the program from Low -Income Discount to SHARE (Single Household Alternative Rate for Energy); b) Increase the discount from ten to twenty percent; and c) Expand the qualification for the program from just SSI/SSP to a maximum income level per household. This will be a self -certifying program. In addition, the current mobile home park master -metered customers receive a Distribution Service Payment of $8.13 per number of spaces wired for service. The changes to the mobile home park master - metered rate changes the payment to a discount on the bill, incorporates the All Electric Service and APPROVED: H. Dixon Flynn - City anager SHARE programs as described above, and institutes a minimum charge for this rate. The changes from payment to discount also require deletion of language from Rule 19, Page No. 19-3 and to the Appendix Page No. A-1. Lastly, an Economic Development and Benefits program was instituted for small (G1), medium (G2) commercial customers and for certain qualifying non-profit commercial customers on December 1, 1996. This program provided various discounts for new business in the City of Lodi. These discounts for new customers were in effect through June 30, 2000. This proposal would extend the Economic Development program through September 30, 2002, and apply to new business that establish electric service with the City of Lodi on and after July 1, 2000. The discount would be effective the first practicable billing after the customers eligibility has been approved. There is no retroactive application for the discount. The prior discount expired on June 30, 2000. There is no proposed change to the Community Benefits Incentive Discount. The fiscal impact on increased revenues to the City of Lodi is estimated to be: Minimum Maximum SHARE $50,000 $100,000 All Electric $ -0- $ 20,000 Economic Development $ -0- $ 30,000 Funding for the SHARE program will be part of the Residential Public Benefits Program. A decrease in electric revenues resulting from customers exercising the All Electric or Economic Development option was anticipated and reflected in forecasted budget revenues.
