AND UPDATING RELATED PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council is empowered and directed by Article XII, Section 6, of the
City Charter to fix, establish, maintain and provide for the collection of such rates, fees or charges
for utility services furnished by the City as will produce revenues sufficient to pay the costs,
expenses and other obligations of the electric utility, as set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the rates, fees or charges for utility services set forth herein are necessary to
produce sufficient revenues to provide the utility services described herein; and
WHEREAS, revenues from the rates, fees or charges for utility services set forth herein
shall be used to defray the costs of providing such utility services as required by the Charter and
the City Code; and
WHEREAS, the City purchases bulk wholesale electric power from Platte River Power
Authority ("PRPA") pursuant to an Amended Contract for Supply of Electric Power and Energy,
dated September 1, 2010; and
WHEREAS, PRPA will increase the City's wholesale cost of power approximately 2.0%
in 2019; and
WHEREAS, Utilities staff has determined the increased wholesale power cost will require
an average 1.4%retail rate increase and increased local distribution costs will require an additional
average 3.6% rate increase, for a total City retail electric rate increase in 2019 of 5.0% in order to
remain consistent with Article XII, Section 6, of the City Charter; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rate increase will vary based on the cost of service to each
customer class; and
WHEREAS, on November 21, 2017, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 155, 2017,
transitioning electric service rates from tiered to a "time-of-day" ("TOD") based structure for all
meter readings on or after October 1, 2018; and
WHEREAS, in addition to adjusting electric rates, Utilities staff has identified formatting
and maintenance updates to Chapter 26 of the City Code necessary to improve the clarity with
which electric rates are stated; and
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2018, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 116, 2018,
extending tiered-based electric rates for customers enrolled in manual-read metering service as of
August 31, 2018, while all other customers transitioned to TOD on October 1, 2018; and
-1-
WHEREAS, staff recommends continuing tiered-based electric rates for manual-read
metering service customers until completion of upgrades to metering equipment necessary to serve
those customers on TOD rates, while all other customers will transition to updated TOD rates on
January 1, 2019; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends City Council authorize the Utilities Executive Director to
extend until December 31, 2018, tiered solar generation bill credits and delay implementing TOD
credit rates for community solar projects where power purchase agreements with operators allow
the City to change the solar credit only once annually, as extending tiered credits for these projects
will avoid potential contract compliance issues; and
WHEREAS, the Energy Board considered the proposed electric rates and methods of
application at its September 13 and October 11, 2018 regular meetings, and provided
recommendations of approval of proposed rate sets to City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager and staff have recommended to the City Council the
following TOD-based electric rate adjustments and City Code rate language clarifications for all
billings issued with meter readings on or after January 1, 2019; and
