STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: TOM CODY, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: TIME AND PLACE FIXED TO CONSIDER A PUBLIC HEARING FOR ASSEMBLY BILL 2561 VACANCY REPORT AND PUBLIC
HEARING.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
It is recommended that the City Council consider:
1. Conducting a public hearing to present the status of vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts per Government Code section 3502.3; and
2. This is a report and file business item.
BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2024, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2561 (“AB 2561”) into law to amend the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA”) and create a new obligation for public agencies to address the status of their vacancies publicly.
Effective January 1, 2025, Government Code Section 3502.3 requires public agencies to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to discuss the City's workforce vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. The City's recognized employee associations are provided with a dvance notice of the public hearing.
In compliance with the new legal obligation under AB 2561, public agencies must present the status of their vacancies in a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal
1.1 Packet Pg. 8

year. The presentation must be made before the adoption of a final budget for the fiscal year.
The City's recognized employee associations may present concerning vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts during the public hearing . The City has nine bargaining units and two unrepresented groups . Additional reporting obligations would occur if vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of the full-time total number of authorized positions, at the affected bargaining unit's request.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The vacancy rate for any bargaining unit that meet or exceeds 20% of the authorized full -time positions in the bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the follow: 1) The total number of vacancies; 2) The number of applicants; 3) The average time to fill position(s); and 4) Opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. The Vacancy Report for each association/unit is attached.
The City has taken steps to address recruitment efforts in recent years. The City of Colton competes with the agencies in the regional communities from a limited pool of qualified candidates, and this competition, combined with Colton occupying the lower end of the regional pay scale, resulted in a recruitment and retention emergency for the City. The City could not attract qualified candidates or retain existing City employees for multiple layers of every City Department, and this was especially true for the City’s Public Safety Departments.
Upon this recognition, the City Manager's Office and the City Council have taken decisive and aggressive action to address this issue over the past few years. First, to address this for safety personnel, in March 2022, the City Council approved hiring bonuses for newly hired Safety Personnel within the Police and Fire departments. In July 2023, the City Council approved a 10% salary increase for all full -time City employees. In the Spring/Summer of 2024, the City Manager initiated a strategic Labor Plan to bring Colton staff up to the 50th percentile of the regional labor market. This labor -intensive process included reviewing agency salary information and current and future MOUs for comparable agencies. The approved 3-tier system addresses below -average salaries by employee groups, and two of the three tiers were implemented in July 2024 and February 2025. The last tier was just approved on April 15, 2025.
The Labor Plan was a cooperative and transparent process with each of the nine Employee Group Associations. City staff met with each group and shared data, so the City and the Associations agreed on the proper classification of MOU-identified comparable agencies.
The efforts of this City Council to address recruitment and retention have been unprecedented.
These in-contract adjustments to bring Colton up to regional competitiveness have borne fruit; the numbers and quality of applicants have increased, no -shows to interviews have declined, and our vacancy numbers, although some still exist, have significantly improved.

However, potential fiscal impacts to address recruitment and retention issues for future budget and bargaining considerations will be presented to the City Council if needed.

SUBJECT: TIME AND PLACE FIXED TO CONSIDER A PUBLIC HEARING TO
APPROVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE ELECTRIC
RATE ADJUSTMENTS, RESOLUTION NO. R-28-25.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Hold Public Hearing for the Colton City Council Meeting of May 6, 2025, to Consider Adoption of Electric Rate Adjustments, Resolution NO. R-28-25.
BACKGROUND
City of Colton Electric Utility (CEU) operates an electrical grid to provide service to more than 18,000 electric meters within the City’s service territory across multiple rate classes . It is considered prudent industry practice to perform regular cost -of-service studies to align expenses and revenue requirements with cost causation. As such, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to EES Consulting on June 7, 2022, at its regular meeting. A subsequent amendment was approved to extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2024 to perform further cost analysis due to fluctuations in market conditions. A third amendment to the Agreement was approved by Colton City Council on June 18, 2024, amending the terms and conditions to provide ongoing analysis, report finalization and presentation of recommendations.
The study findings were presented in public forum at a Special Council meeting on February 24, 2025, the regular Utilities Commission on March 10, 2025, a joint Council -Commission workshop on April 7, 2025, and again at the regular Utilities Commission on April 14, 2025.
Each event resulted in robust discussion, generating follow -on questions from stakeholders, of which staff provided responses and sought ongoing feedback and direction from Council.

Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments
May 6, 2025
At the publicly attended meetings, EES Consulting and City Staff , acting as fiduciaries , presented findings with recommended rate level adjustments and forward -looking revenue requirements to continue to provide reliable, stable, predictable rates that are competitive and support the maintenance , operations and ongoing investments need for a safe electric grid and mindful of ongoing Council priorities.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Since 2009, the last year electric rates were increased, CEU rates have remained steady and were subsequently reduced in 2011 and again in 2013. Since 20 09, inflation has increased more than 50 percent and CEU’s cost to provide service to its customers has increased, yet rates were held flat. The convergence of these facts further necessitat ed a thorough rate study that did not overreact to volatile energy markets yet was representative of current and future costs, causation of costs and demonstrated compliance with Proposition 26.
Study results and recommendations, which are tied to rate -class cost causation, illustrate the prudent financial management which makes adjustments to rates that are : reflective of the current cost for providing service ; including reducing tiered rates where appropriate in a cost - neutral way for simplicity and efficiency ; adjusting the time -of-use (TOU) schedule to reflect market signals ; adjust the fixed charge ; update reserve policy; and, adjust the Public Benefits charge to comply with statutory requirements.
The rate recommendations result in projected revenue adjustments of three percent in Fiscal Year 2026, two percent in Fiscal Year 2027, two percent in Fiscal Year 2028 and one percent in Fiscal Year 2029, respectively. These revenue adjustments and bill impacts have an opportunity for mitigation as a result of more robustly funding income-driven assistance programs , including a new income -qualified senior citizen program providing a 37 percent on bill discount, a 25 percent on bill discount for all other income-qualified customers, which will replace the existing low-income program , along with energy efficiency and conservation measures available to residential, commercial and industrial customers . These programs provide direct assistance to customers in the form of on-bill discounts, direct install programs and other subsidized efficiency options that result in immediate relief as well as on -going and future savings . The results of enhancing these efforts will insulate the most vulnerable households to the extent practicable from rate adjustments while also programming funding to continue to support commercial and industrial customers.
The average residential user will see an increase of approximately $0.54 per-month during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2026 upon implementation (October – June, 2026), and $7 per-month in Fiscal Year 202 7, the first full year of implementation. In Fiscal Year 2028, the project residential bill impact is approximately $5 per -month and in Fiscal Year 2029 it is projected at $3 per-month, resulting in an aggregate increase of approximately $15 per month over the course of the next four fiscal years. Electric rate adjustments, if implemented as recommended, will
1.2 Packet Pg. 13
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments

continue to maintain an approximate 40 percent discount when compared to the typical investor- owned utility for the average residential customer and a nearly 30 percent discount compared to the statewide average. The proposed residential rate level is represented in the following table.
Commercial and Industrial customers will also experience adjustments on their respective bill, with some realizing minor adjustments that may result in decreases, while others may see slight increases, depending upon the preponderance of consumption characteristics. The following charts summarize the rate adjustment recommendations for those respective rate classes.

Additionally, the following chart illustrates recommended rate adjustments to lighting rates, which include customers who choose to have CEU maintain unmetered lig hts for purposes such as area lighting, parking lot lighting or other general uses.
Staff, also at the request of the Council, evaluated debt funding for ongoing maintenance operations. However, this was later evaluated as sub-optimal by the City’s Financial Advisor and determined to be in conflict with approved City Financial Policy. Although further investigation at the time suggested refinancing of existing 2007A & 2012A bonds as means to fund additional ongoing maintenance was practical, it would not have a material impact on rate adjustment recommendations.
At the time of initial investigation into bond refinancing, market conditions were favorable, that however has been challenged in recent days. Staff continues to monitor the market and evaluate other scenarios to minimize debt service pursuant to Financial Policy to minimize upward operating cost pressures. Any such recommendations regarding debt issuance or refinancing of existing debt will be brought forward for City Council consideration at a future date.
In addition to the rate adjustments currently under consideration, Council directed staff to develop a policy regarding rate studies. As such, staff have proposed a policy that establishes
1.2 Packet Pg. 17
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments
May 6, 2025
roles and responsibilities, timelines for regular and targeted studies in addition to outline general frameworks to be consistent with industry best practices. This document is attached to the Resolution R-28-25 as Exhibit “B”.
Last, staff presented for Council consideration an update to the City’s Reserve Policy that would increase Working Capital Reserve (liquidity) to 25 percent operating cash and 25 percent rate stabilization while adjusting the net-position reserve requirement to a minimum of 25 percent by Fiscal Year 2028 -2029. After that time, the minimum net -position will adjust upwards to 50 percent.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Rate adjustment adoption, Fiscal P olicy adoption and Rate Study Policy adoption, will provide the following 1) increase revenues to cover increasing operations and maintenance costs , 2) enable the enterprise to continue to service debt, meet its coverage ratios and bond covenants, 3) increase reserve policy to maintain financial stability in line with prudent best industry practices, 4) provide needed funding to mitigate fluctuations in operating costs, 5) provide predictable and stable rates into the future 6) continue to support ongoing system maintenance needs and 7) establish policy regarding rate studies.
As recommended, rate implementation would occur in October 2025 and future adjustments would occur July 1 of each fiscal year thereafter.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.

Exhibit B
Policy on Conducting Electric Rate Studies
1. Purpose The purpose of this Policy on Conducting Electric Rate Studies (Policy) is to establish a structured approach for conducting electric rate studies to ensure fair, transparent, and cost-effective electricity pricing for City of Colton (City) customers while maintaining the financial stability of the City’s Electric Utility, supporting City Council priorities, and complying with State legal and regulatory requirements. Electric rate studies (Study or Studies) help identify equitable pricing structures, optimize operational efficiency, ensure legal and regulatory compliance, and anticipate market trends. By implementing a standardized process, the utility can adapt to changing economic conditions, energy demands, and sustainability goals. A standardized process will promote long-term system reliability and consumer satisfaction and will help ensure fiduciary responsibility for managing the City’s assets.
2. Scope This Policy applies to all electric rate studies conducted by or on behalf of the City’s Electric Utility, including periodic reviews, special studies, and rate adjustment assessments. Studies conducted pursuant to this Policy shall consider all customer classes, including but not limited to, residential, commercial, and industrial, to ensure a balanced, data-driven approach that reflects usage patterns and infrastructure requirements. Studies shall also address emerging trends in renewable energy adoption, fuel-switching, electrification, energy efficiency measures, and grid modernization efforts to align with industry developments and state mandates.
3. Responsibilities
• The City Council shall have sole authority to adopt Study recommendations and approve any rate adjustments.
• The Electric Utility shall supply technical data, including, but not limited to consumption data, financial information, system demand, infrastructure costs, grid performance, and capacity planning considerations.
• The Finance Department shall ensure alignment with financial policies, including reserve and debt coverage requirements.
• External consultants may be engaged as necessary to provide expert analysis, model various pricing scenarios, and ensure that the Study incorporates industry best practices and innovations in rate structuring.
• Customer input will be solicited through regular and special City Council and Utilities Commission meetings.
4. Frequency of Studies

Attachment: Rate Study Policy_cjb_04082025_V3.0 2025.04.17 BBK Edits-c1 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) Exhibit B
• A comprehensive Study shall be conducted at least once every five years to reassess utility costs, revenue requirements, financial policy compliance, and economic conditions.
• Interim Studies may be performed as needed in response to significant economic, regulatory, or operational changes, such as inflationary pressures, fuel cost fluctuations, or infrastructure investment requirements. • Additional targeted Studies may be conducted when significant policy shifts occur, such as mandates for renewable energy integration, electrification of transportation, or significant changes in consumer demand patterns.
5. Key Components of an Electric Rate Study
• Cost of Service Analysis (COSA): A detailed assessment of the cost to provide electricity to different customer classes, ensuring that rates reflect actual usage and service costs in a fair and equitable manner.
• Revenue Requirement Analysis: Calculation of the total revenue required to cover operational costs, capital investments, regulatory compliance costs, reserve requirements, and long-term system maintenance to ensure financial sustainability. • Rate Design Analysis: Development of rate structures that align with cost allocation requirements while considering factors such as price competitiveness, cost allocation, and cost-causation.
• Impact Analysis: Evaluation of how proposed rate changes affect different customer classes, including economic impact assessments and mitigation strategies for economically vulnerable customers.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that rate structures comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, as well as industry standards for rate- setting transparency and fairness. Each Study shall provide the City Council with a document of record in support of retail rate compliance with Article XIII C of the Constitution of the State of California (Proposition 26). • Alternative Rate Models: Where feasible, explore new and emerging trends in industry.
• Risk Analysis: Evaluate potential risk to the Electric Utility to include o Operational Risk: Equipment failures, power outages, and cyber threats. o Market Risk: Fluctuations in market prices and demand shifts.

-I-
The City will maintain an operating/cash flow General Fund reserve balance equivalent to a minimum of 10% of the General Fund’s operating budget.
Maintaining reserves is considered a prudent management practice . Typically, reserves are to be utilized to fund unforeseen situations. Examples include:
• Federal/State/County budget cut;
• Local revenue shortfall due to major business closures or relocations; • Legislative or judicial mandate to provide a new or expanded service or programs; • One-time City Council approved expenditure;
• Natural disaster (earthquake, flood, etc.)
In an effort to ensure sound financial management of public resources, the City Council directs the City Manager to maintain a minimum 10% General Fund reserve amount (defined as an operating/cash flow reserve). The 10% reserve amount applie s to the General Fund’s recurring operating budget only. One-time (non-recurring) expenditures would not be used to calculate the 10% reserve amount.
If unforeseen circumstances occur which cause the reserves to drop below the Council adopted level, staff will immediately present the City Council with various options for curing the deficiency(ies).
-II-
The City will maintain a balanced operating budget for all funds with recurring revenues equal to or greater than recurring expenditures. Appropriations of available fund balance may be permitted for “one -time” non -recurring expenditures. The City Manager will present the proposed budget to City Council prior to June 30 each year.
General Fund
This policy requires that in any given fiscal year the City will not budget appropriations in excess of the estimated revenue expected to be received in the same year except as provided in Section I above. This “pay as you go” approach mandates that any increase in expenditures, decrease in revenues, or combination of the two that would result in a budget imbalance will require cost cutting and/or revenue enhancements, rather than spending unappropriated fund balance (i.e., reserves) to support ongoing operations. Cost cutting measures may include reductions in capital improvement projects or other purchases, reductions in staff (either through attrit ion, hiring freezes, or lay-offs), or reductions in expenditures for materials, services, and supplies.
1.2.b
Packet Pg. 23
Attachment: City of Colton Financial Policies_20170801_cjb_V1.0 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) Exhibit C
Revenue enhancements would generally be in the form of new or increased taxes and fees. Any year-end operating “surpluses” will revert to unappropriated fund balances for use in maintaining reserve levels set by this policy.
-III-
The City will set and maintain enterprise rates in order to provide sufficient revenues (customer charges, interest income, and all other income) to meet all operating expenses , cash reserves per financial policies, and debt service coverage requirements set forth in any applicable bond covenants.
The City’s Enterprise Funds (electric, water and wastewater) will be supported solely by revenue derived from the enterprise’s operations and its interest earned on cash deposits and investments.
None of these funds will be supported or subsidized by the City’s General Fund. However, each Enterprise Fund will be required to reimburse the General Fund and/or other applicable funds, for the full cost of general government support services provided to the Enterprise Fund (such as computer support, accounting, and general administration).
The City shall review rates related to each enterprise on a periodic basis to ensure proper revenue levels are maintained.
-IV-
The City will maintain a cash working capital reserve for each Enterprise fund as follows:
• Electric: 25% operating reserve; 25% rate stabilization reserve; net-position reserve target of 25% by Fiscal Year 2029 with an ultimate net-position reserve requirement of 50%.
• Water: 10% operating reserve
• Wastewater: 10% operating reserve
Each Enterprise Fund will maintain a 10% “working capital” reserve which is sufficient to provide enough funds to allow the City Council to react and adopt a financial plan which can adequately deal with a variety of adverse economic circumstances which may materialize.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, if the working capital reserves drop below levels adopted by this policy, staff will present the City Council with various options for curing the deficiency (ies).

-V-
The City will maintain appropriate reserves in the Insurance Fund to meet statutory requirements and actuarially projected needs for General Liability and Worker’s Compensation.
The General Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund reserves are to be maintained in a sufficient manner to meet membership requirements for ICRMA (Independent Cities Risk Management Association) and meet our statutory requirements for Workers’ Compensation.
The City must maintain sufficient cash reserves to meet the demands of the self-insured retention levels as required by ICRMA and the State . If the reserves drop below levels prescribed by this policy and cannot be readily replenished through increased user rates, staff will bring the matter to the City Council’s attention and present options.
-VI-
The City will comply with all the requirements of “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” along with all laws and regulations related to financial reporting and the maintenance of the books and records.
The City will conduct its financial affairs appropriately and maintain records in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. In addition, all applicable laws and regulations related to financial reporting and the maintenance of the books and records shall be complied with. This pertains to the timely and accurate filing of annual financial reports as required by the State Controller’s office. To help assure compliance with this policy, the City must have an annual audit by an independent certified public accounting firm.
-VII-
An investment policy shall be updated and ratified in accordance with state law, and the City Treasurer shall be responsible to take this document forward on an annual basis for ratification by the City Council.
An investment policy is required per the California Government Code which calls for an annual review by the City Council of such policy and related practices, as reported by the City Treasurer. -VIII-
A debt policy shall be maintained and updated as necessary.
Debt is a complex matter for cities and any mismanagement of the debt process (both during and after the issuance of debt) can result in adverse fiscal consequences. Because there are many
1.2.b
Packet Pg. 25
Attachment: City of Colton Financial Policies_20170801_cjb_V1.0 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) Exhibit C
elements associated with a sound debt policy, it is prudent to incorporate those principles in some degree of detail.
1. The City will not use long-term debt to finance current operations. Long-term borrowing will be confined to capital improvements or similar projects with an extended life which cannot be financed from current revenues.
2. Debt payments shall not extend beyond the estimated useful life of the project being financed. The City will try to keep the average maturity of bonded debt at or below 20 years.
3. The City will maintain good communications with bond rating agencies concerning its financial condition.
4. The City may utilize lease purchasing with specific approval of the City Manager. The useful life of the item must be equal to or greater than the length of the lease. A lease purchase will require City Council approval beyond a five-year lease term or principal amount over the City Manager’s contract authorization level.
5. The City will not obligate the General Fund to secure financing unless the marketability of the issue will be significantly enhanced and a dedicated revenue source for repayment is identified.
6. An analysis shall be prepared for each request for long-term financing which considers the impact on current and future fiscal year budgets for debt service and operations. The analysis shall also address the reliability of revenues supporting annual debt service.
7. The City shall enter into financing contracts on a competitive basis unless, for reasons of market volatility, the use of an unusual financing structure or a complex structure indicates the negotiated financing is preferred.
8. The City will monitor all forms of debt on an annual basis and report concerns or suggested restructuring, if any, to the City Council as part of the budget process.
9. Enterprise and Property owner based financing will only be issued under the assumption that the issue is self-supporting from user fees and charges, assessments and special taxes without impacting the General Fund.
10. The City’s minimum acceptable underlying rating objective on any direct debt is “Baa/BBB”. Appropriate credit enhancements, such as insurance or letters of credit, shall be considered for marketing purposes, availability and cost effectiveness.
11. The City shall diligently monitor its compliance with bond covenants and ensure its compliance with federal arbitrage regulations.

12. The City may issue interfund loans rather than outside debt instruments. Interfund loans will be permitted only if an analysis of the lending fund indicates excess funds are available, and the use of these funds will not impact the fund’s current ope rations. The average interest rate, as established by the Local Agency Investment Fund’s (LAIF) most recent quarter, will be paid to the lending fund.

RE: Electric Cost of Service Study – Draft Report
Dear Mr. Berry:
Attached please find the final report for the 2025-2029 Colton Electric Utility (CEU) Electric Cost of Service Analysis prepared by GDS Associates.
We based the conclusions and recommendations within the report on standard industry practice and accepted rate setting principles. The assumptions are consistent with earlier draft materials provided by GDS but include refinements to power supply and overall revenue assumptions. In addition, the report includes initial rate design recommendations. Incremental steps toward cost -of-service help prepare utilities for future developments and insulate members from over -and under -collection risk for unexpected changes in member loads and demands.
GDS developed the study with the mutual aid of CEU staff, and we appreciate the internal effort to refine the study. The findings, conclusions and recommendations of this report supply the basis for the development of fair and equitable rates for CEU. Thank you for the opportunity to aid CEU in this rate setting process.
Very truly yours,
Amber Gschwend

1 Executive Summary
Colton Electric Utilities (CEU) retained GDS Associates (GDS), to perform a comprehensive electric cost of service analysis (COSA). The COSA is one of the major inputs used in developing potential rates for CEU.
The COSA takes the revenue requirements for the utility and allocates costs across the various customer classes, with the results used to ensure that proposed rates are fair, equitable and not unduly discriminatory.
1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE COSA
The COSA takes the revenue requirement for the utility and seeks to equitably allocate those costs to the various customer classes of service (i.e., residential, general service , etc.). This analysis provides a determination of the level of revenue responsibility of each class of service and the adjustments required to meet the cost of service.
There are three basic steps to follow in developing a COSA, namely: Functionalization, Classification, and Allocation. Functionalization separates costs into major categories that reflect the utility’s plant investment and different services provided to customers. The primary functional categories are production, transmission, distribution, and general.
Classification determines the portion of the cost that is related to specific cost -causal factors, such as those that are demand -related, energy-related, or customer -related. Production costs are related to supplying power to customers on the system. Finally, allocation of costs to specific customer classes is based on the customer’s contribution to the specific classifier selected. For instance, demand -related costs are allocated to a customer group using that customer group’s contribution to the measurement of system demand, whether coincident peak, non -coincident peak or some variation determined to be appropriate for the cost item. An analysis of customer requirement, loads, and usage characteristics is completed to develop allocation factors reflecting each of the classifiers employed within the COSA. The analysis may include an evaluation of the system design and operations, its accounting and physical asset records, and detailed studies of customer load data.
1.2 CEU REVENUE REQUIREMENT
A revenue requirement analysis compares the overall revenues of the utility to its expenses and determines the indicated overall adjustment to rate levels. The revenue requirement is the starting point of the COSA, with all items in the revenue requiremen t allocating across the various customer classes.
This study evaluated a 4 year period beginning Fiscal Year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). CEU’s revenue requirement for FY 2026 is based on the FY 2025 budget. T he FY2025 budget is adjusted based

on power supply costs as estimated by Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and 10-year average price level changes (3.8% per year).1
Revenue Requirement study includes projected revenues collected from retail rates. Retail rate revenues are calculated based on current base rates, the continuation of the PCA through September 30, 2025, and projected loads. Revenues and recommended rates for the forecast years are based on setting the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) to $0 beginning October 1, 2025. The total FY 2026 expenses $96.0 million. The Change in Net Position indicates use of operating reserves to balance year-to-year rate adjustments. The electric revenue requirement to be collected from retail rates is $ 88.5 million (total Expenses less Misc.
Revenues).2

1.3 ELECTRIC RATE BASE
The accompanying plant rate base associated with the FY 2026 revenue requirement is $47.9 million. The rate base reflects gross plant of $118.8 million, offset by accumulated depreciation and customer contributions. Distribution makes up 59.3% of gross plant, followed by 6% for general plant, and 35% for production. CEU does not own or operate transmission-level plant.
1.4 MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS OF THE COSA
The following provides some of the major assumptions and underlying data used in conducting the COSA for CEU. Customer classes of service refer to the arrangement of customers into groups that reflect common usage characteristics or facility requirements. The classes of service analyzed in the study are summarized in Table 1-2.

CEU is projecting increasing energy sales through the forecast period. Total metered services of 18,6 49 on average for FY 2026 and gross energy consumption of approximately 327,696 MWh.
Residential customers make up 87 percent of the total number of customers and 31 percent of energy sales. In contrast small general Service customers make up only 9 percent of customers and contribute 13 percent of total retail sales. The peak is forecast to occur in the summer at a level of 54 MW and winter at a level of 82MW.
Key data and allocation assumptions include:
◼ Forecast fiscal year (FY) 2026 is the test period for the allocation of costs. ◼ Billing data by rate class for all meters in each rate class from the historical FY 2024 provided the basis for energy and demand allocation factors for the FY 2026 forecast year. ◼ The FY 2026 forecast revenue requirement and sales based on the most recent budget. ◼ Power supply costs classified as demand and energy based the split of fixed and variable operating costs for each resource.

◼ Distribution plant classified based on estimate of minimum system characteristics for municipal electric distribution assets.
◼ Purchased transmission costs were allocated based on energy to reflect the rate structure of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO).
◼ Resource Adequacy and other transmission purchases are classified and allocated according to the utility’s coincident peak demand.
1.5 SUMMARY OF ALLOCATION RESULTS
Given the above assumptions of the COSA, the various costs were classified and allocated to the customer classes of service. This section supplies the results of the COSA in summary form. The body of the report describes additional detail from the analysis.
In the COSA process, plant investment is classified and allocated to rate classes as a means to allow for proper allocation of those revenue requirements tied to plant investment, such as distribution operations and maintenance and depreciation expenses. P roduction plant is classified and allocated based on demand. Distribution plant classification is split between demand and customer. Customer costs represent the estimated share of plant value needed to serve each customer according to a theoretical 1 kWh/year usage level. The remainder of the plant value is allocated based on customer demands as this is the investment needed to meet individual customer needs. General plant is allocated based on the distribution plant allocations.
The total FY 2026 net revenue requirement of $88.5 million3 is classified into various components and allocated to customer classes. Table 1-2 summarizes the results for fiscal year 2026.

2 Overview and Basis for the COSA
The COSA is one of the major inputs used in developing proposed rates for CEU. The COSA takes the revenue requirements established for the utility and allocates costs across the various customer classes, with the results used to ensure that proposed rates are fair, equitable and not unduly discriminatory.
GDS organized this report such that it follows the steps taken in analyzing and developing CEU’s COSA.
Contained in this section is a discussion of the theory and financial principles behind setting rates. Also included is a summary of the underlying financial results used as the basis for the COSA. The next section discusses the COSA and the results of that process, including the method used to allocate costs between customer classes. The final section provides a summary of the COSA results.
2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE COSA
The setting of electric utility rates that are fair and equitable is a complex process. But the process follows generally accepted methodologies as a guide for assessing cost recovery in CEU’s electric rates. At the same time, there are often several financial principles or guidelines that must be taken into consideration during this process. Therefore, the setting of electric rates that are fair and equitable is an integration of these generally accepted methodologies and any related financial policies or specific policy considerations from CEU.
The COSA analysis takes the revenue requirement for the utility and seeks to equitably allocate those costs to the various customer classes of service (i.e., residential, general service, etc). This analysis provides a determination of the level of revenue responsibility of each class of service and the adjustments required to meet the cost of service.
Costs are allocated to the various customer classes of service based upon the cost -causal relationships with the production and delivery of the services. A COSA begins by functionalizing a utility’s revenue requirement such as power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer. Next, the functionalized costs classify demand-, energy-, and customer-related component costs. Demand-related costs are those that the utility incurs to meet a customer’s maximum instantaneous usage requirement and are usually measured in kilowatts (kW). Energy -related costs are those that vary directly with longer periods of consumption, usually measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Customer-related costs are those that vary with the number and type of customers served.
These three component costs allocate to each class of service based upon the most equitable method for each specific cost. At that point, the revenue requirement becomes fully allocated to each class of service for a determination of the necessary revenue adjustments between classes of service. The final step is the calculation of demand, energy, and customer unit costs for each class of customer or rate schedule. These unit costs provide valuable input into the rate design process.
2.2 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section describes the legal framework considered in the development of the recommended rates to ensure that the calculated cost of service rates provide a fair and equitable allocation of costs to each customer class.

2.2.1 California Constitution‐Article XIII C (Proposition 26) California voters approved Proposition 26 on November 2, 2010. Proposition 26 amended Article XIII C of the State Constitution to expand the definition of “tax” to include “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government” with liste d exceptions. By means of these exceptions, Article XIII C classifies several types of charges, in addition to property -related charges, that are not taxes, such as charges for specific services or benefits, regulatory charges and penalties.
Article XIII C’s definition of “tax” lists the following exceptions: (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege; (2) a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonabl e costs to the local government of providing the service or product; (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof; (4) a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property; (5) a fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law; (6) a charge imposed as a condition of property development; and (7) assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.
Proposition 26 also provides that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Like the proportionality requirements of Article XIII D, assessment of rates under these requirements, if applicable, would be supported by the cost of service approach.
2.3 CEU REVENUE REQUIREMENT
A revenue requirement analysis compares the overall revenues of the utility to its expenses and determines the required overall adjustment to rate levels. The revenue requirement is the starting point for overall costs in the COSA, with all items in the r evenue requirement allocating across the various customer classes. The rate base for the utility is also an important component when developing allocation factors for the revenue requirement.
The total FY 2026 expenses are $96 million. Other Income includes non-rate revenues, interest, and net income from the telecommunications business unit. The Change in Net Position illustrates the utility’s plan to use operating reserves to balance the rate adjustment in each year. The FY 2026 electric revenue requirement collected through retail rates is $88.5 million (total expenses less Misc. Revenues).

3 Cost of Service Analysis
The goal of the COSA is to analyze costs and equitably assign those costs to customers equal with the cost of serving those customers. The founding principle of cost allocation is the concept of cost -causation.
Cost-causation evaluates which customer or group of customers causes the utility to incu r certain costs by linking system facility investments and operating costs to serve certain facilities to the services used by different customers. This section of the report will discuss the general approach used to perform the CEU COSA and supply a summary of the results.
3.1 COSA O VERVIEW AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES
A COSA allocates the costs of providing utility service to the various customer classes served by the utility based upon the cost-causal relationship associated with specific expense items. This approach is taken to develop a fair and equitable assignment of costs to each customer class so that customers pay for the costs that they cause. Because most costs don’t directly incur to any one type of customer, the COSA becomes an exercise in spreading joint and common costs among the various classes using fac tors appropriate to each type of expense. The COSA is the second step in a traditional three-step process for developing service rates. The first step is the development of the test period revenue requirement for the utility, which is the starting input for the COSA. The COSA spreads the revenue requirement across the various customer classes, creating per unit costs by class. In the third step, unit costs provide initial rate designs for each customer class, with consideration of the proper rate levels.
The cost basis for a COSA study is typically embedded or marginal. Embedded costs reflect the actual costs incurred by the utility and closely track the costs kept in its accounting records. Marginal costs reflect the cost associated with adding a new customer and are based on costs of facilities and services if incurred at the present time. While marginal costs can be valuable for designing rates in certain instances, marginal costs are higher than embedded costs. Therefore, the use of a marginal COSA usually requires that all costs be scaled back to a level equal to the embedded cost revenue requirement established using actual or projected costs from an accounting perspective.
GDS used an embedded cost based on this COSA as its standard method. Therefore, the cost basis is CEU’s embedded cost revenue requirement and existing rate base investment for developing the COSA results.
There are three basic steps to follow in developing a COSA, namely:
◼ Functionalization
◼ Classification
◼ Allocation
Functionalization separates costs into major categories that reflect the utility’s plant investment and different services provided to customers. The primary functional categories are production, transmission, distribution, and general.
Classification determines the part of the cost that is related to specific cost -causal factors, such as those that are demand -related, energy -related, or customer -related. Production costs relate to supplying power to customers on the system. Production facilities operate to meet system peak demands and total energy requirements. Transmission costs relate to the bulk transfer of power to load centers on the system. These transmission facilities operate to meet system peak demand requirement. The distribution

system extends service to all customers attached to the system and to meet the peak load capacity requirement of each customer.
FIGURE 3-1: FUNC TION ALIZ ATION , CLASSIFICATION AN D ALLOC ATION FLOW C HAR T
The study bases allocation of costs to specific customer classes on the customer’s contribution to the specific classifier selected. For instance, demand -related costs allocate to a customer group using that customer group’s contribution to the measuremen t of system demand, whether coincident peak, non - coincident peak, or some variation appropriate for the cost item.
GDS completed an analysis of customer requirements, loads, and usage characteristics to develop allocation factors reflecting each of the classifiers employed within the COSA. GDS based demand and energy allocation factors on actual demand data for 2022, with some adjustments to account for monthly billing results.
3.2 MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS OF THE COST -OF-SERVICE ANALYSIS The following provides some of the major assumptions and underlying data used in conducting this COSA for CEU.
Customer classes of service refer to the arrangement of customers into groups that reflect common usage characteristics or facility requirement. The classes of service used within this study were as follows:
The classes of service analyzed in the study are summarized in Table 1-2.

CEU is projecting increasing energy sales through the forecast period. There are a total of 18,649 metered services on average for FY 2026 and gross energy consumption of approximately 327,696 MWh.
Residential customers make up 87 percent of the total number of customers and 31 percent of energy sales. In contrast small general Service customers make up only 9 percent of customers and contribute 13 percent of total retail sales. The annual peak is forecast to occur in the summer at a level of 79 MW.
The following sections provide the specific treatment of items within the COSA, along with the results of the COSA.
3.3 FUNCTIONALIZATION OF COSTS
The first step in the COSA process is to functionalize the rate base and revenue requirement.
Functionalization is the separation of cost data into the functional activities performed in the operation of a utility system (i.e., power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer service). Functionalization uses CEU’s system of accounts for both the rate base and revenue requirement, which largely segregates costs in this manner. Revenue requirement items associated with certain types of plant were gen erally treated in the same manner as the corresponding plant account.
The bullet list below specifies functions used for CEU’s COSA. The functions generally follow standard cost of service approaches.
◼ Power Supply. The power supply function includes both rate base and expense items associated with generation owned by the utility and power purchase expenses.
◼ Transmission. The transmission function includes those costs for operating and maintaining the transmission lines, poles, towers, substations, etc., used to deliver power to the distribution network’s load centers. Transmission is generally those lines measured at 35,000 volts and above.
◼ Distribution. Distribution services include all services required to move the electricity from the point of interconnection between the transmission system and the distribution system to the end user of the power. These include substations, poles, primary and seconda ry poles and conductors, line transformers, services, and meters as well as customer costs and any direct assignment items. The distribution function includes c ustomer-related services, even for those customers served at the transmission voltage level. These services include meter reading, billing, collections, advertising, etc.

Attachment: Colton Electric COSA Report Draft 4.4.25 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) COLTON ELECTRIC UTILIT Y Cost of Service and Rate Study – Draft Report prepared by GDS ASSOCIATES INC 15
Primary distribution is at voltages of 750 to 35,000 volts while secondary distribution has voltages of 750 volts or less.
The two areas where there generally are differences in functionalization among utilities are in the treatment of general plant and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. Typically, general plant is a separate category in the rate base. Functionalization spreads the general plant rate base across the three other functions. On the expense side, G&A costs spread in much the same way. Generally, each is a separate expense category that can be spread across the primary functions.
3.3.1 Functionalization of Plant Rate Base
CEU has $41.1 million in production plant rate base (accounts 330 to 335). All of these accounts are functionalized to power supply. Transmission is excluded since CEU does not own or maintain transmission assets. Distribution plant rate base is the biggest functional component of the CEU system and includes $70.5 million in rate base (accounts 360 to 373). These costs are all functionalized as distribution.

3.3.2 Functionalization of Revenue Requirement
CEU has a net revenue requirement from rates of $88.5 million for the 2026 fiscal year. In allocating the revenue requirements, expense items often follow the treatment of the corresponding rate base items.
1.2.c
Packet Pg. 44
Attachment: Colton Electric COSA Report Draft 4.4.25 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) COLTON ELECTRIC UTILIT Y Cost of Service and Rate Study – Draft Report prepared by GDS ASSOCIATES INC 16
For example, total production/power supply costs are projected at $48.6 million for FY 2026 and are all functionalized to production.
Total distribution expenses are projected at $7.5 million and are annual expenses associated with the distribution rate base accounts. All distribution system operation and maintenance expenses are functionalizes to distribution.
CEU has $ 0.4 million in customer service expenses. These costs all functionalize to the Distribution Function.
General and Administrative ( G&A) costs for CEU are forecast at $13.5 million. Like general plant, these costs relate to all functions of the utility and often associate with the number of employees of the utility.
The study relies on O&M ratios to functionalize these costs to production and distribution (excluding power supply).
Depreciation expenses are $0. Generation depreciation follows generation etc. Depreciation for general plant and deferred charges follow the gross plant before general plant.
CEU is planning to for $5.4 million in capital projects. As is required by the City’s policy, these expenses must be rate funded. Capital projects are functionalized as Distribution except general plant investments.
General plant investments are functio nalized as Shared Services. Similar to the G&A costs, this means a portion of the costs are functionalized as Production and a portion are functionalized as Distribution.
CEU has planned for $3.2 million in interest and debt service expense for FY 2026 and does not plan to increase its debt funding.
The last expense category is “Other Contributions.” These include primarily the transfer to the General Fund. The City’s voters have approved that CEU transfer up to 20% of its annual revenue to the City’s General Fund. The General Fund transfer is a payment in lieu of taxes or franchise agreement. This transfer is estimated at $17 million for FY 2026 based on the retail revenue projection , and it is functionalized as Shared Services.
In addition to revenues from retail customers, CEU receives revenues from other activities, such as pole attachment fees and California Air Resources Board carbon auction revenue . Because the COSA is concerned with collecting revenues from rates by customer class, the other revenues of the utility are treated as an offset to the revenue requirement. Other revenues are therefore credited back to customer classes in a manner that fits the specific revenue item. Table 3-3 shows the estimated FY 2026 Misc.

Total $88,468,893 $50,555,126 $37,913,767
3.4 CLASSIFICATION OF COSTS
The second step in performing COSA is to classify the functionalized expenses to traditional cost-causation categories. These cost-causation categories can be directly related to specific consumption behavior or system configuration measurements such as coincident peak (CP) or non-coincident peak (NCP) demand, energy, or number of customers. Each classification category will have a specific allocator that, when applied, will distribute those costs among the proper customer classes during the allocation phase of the analysis.
The three primary classifiers are:
◼ Demand
◼ Energy
◼ Customer
1.2.c
Packet Pg. 46
Attachment: Colton Electric COSA Report Draft 4.4.25 (4908 : Public Hearing - Electric Rate Adjustments) COLTON ELECTRIC UTILIT Y Cost of Service and Rate Study – Draft Report prepared by GDS ASSOCIATES INC 18
Functionalized power supply costs split between demand and energy. Transmission system costs classify as demand related. Distribution costs are split between demand -related and customer -related components or directly assigned to a specific customer class of service.
Within the three categories, there are multiple ways of defining each option as well as varying ways to split costs between two or more classifiers. For example, demand- and energy-related costs can separate by seasonal distinctions as well as to reflect peak/off peak consumption periods. Customer categories can distinguish between actual customer and weighted customer characteristics. Other classifiers sometimes used in the process include revenue-related and direct assignment. In addition, there are many instances where costs are not specifically classified as a category but in the same manner as an individual cost account or subtotal of specific cost accounts.
3.4.1 Classification of Generation and Transmission Rate Base Generation classification can follow several different methods, most of which rely on looking at the use of various types of plants and their purpose within the system. GDS maintained specific classification methods from other industry standard studies.
3.4.2 Classification of Distribution Rate Base
Generally, there are two methods for classifying distribution costs: 100% demand and minimum system.
The 100% demand methodology assumes that the distribution system is built to meet the non-coincident peak (NCP). The minimum system approach splits the distribution plant into customer -related and demand-related costs. The customer -related costs are based on the cost of a system designed to serve each customer a theoretical 1 kWh of energy per year. This results in a system cost made up of the smallest sized equipment. The share of the plant value that is remaining is classified as demand-related.
It is the cost of the system designed to meet customer needs.
The process of cost classification is the area within the COSA that can create considerable cost variability between customer classes due to differences in system configurations, demand measurements and system planning criteria. The complexity of the enti re COSA process compounds, in some cases, the classification category is clear, but the specific allocator is not. For example, a particular cost item may clearly be peak demand-related, but that demand can be measured as either a single coincident peak (1 CP) for the year, a combined winter and summer coincident peak (2 CP) approach to reflect seasonal considerations, the sum of 12 monthly coincident peaks (12 CP), or through some other approach.
Distribution services include all services required to transport energy supply from the point of transmission interconnection to the utility’s load centers and end user of the power. Classifying distribution costs requires a special analysis of the nature of the costs. Most distribution costs appropriately split between demand and customer components. The demand portion is the cost of facilities built to serve a load, such as distribution substations. The customer portion is the cost of facilities that varies with the number of customers, such as meters. Different accounts within the distribution function require separate treatment. For purposes of this COSA, GDS developed minimum system assumptions based on similar municipal systems in order to classify distribution rate base into demand and customer components.
3.4.3 Classification of Production/Power Supply Expenses Classifying power supply costs to demand and energy components depends on the use of the generation and the pricing for power supply purchases. When a utility has numerous generating facilities, the use of

the various units to supply baseload versus peaking power should be considered. In the case of CEU, the power supply resources include long term power purchase contracts through CEU’s membership with SCPPA. CEU has a diverse portfolio consisting of hydropower purchases from the Hoover dam, wind, solar, geothermal, and natural gas plants. The classification and allocation methodology for each resource was developed based on a deta iled review of fixed and variable operating costs. The share of costs that a re variable result in an energy classification. The share of costs that are fixed (capacity-related) are functionalized as demand. Table 3-5 shows the demand and energy splits for CEU’s production costs.

Power Purchases 28% Demand

Total System 33% Demand
67% Energy Sum of all Resources
On a combined basis, the total production and purchased power expenses were classified 33% demand- related and 67% energy-related.
3.5 ALLOCATION OF COSTS
The third step in performing a COSA is the allocation of the utility’s total functionalized and classified revenue requirement to the customer classes of service. This is performed through the application of a proper allocation methodology.
For each of the primary classifiers discussed above, distinctions within each category better reflect cost - causation. The following are the specific allocation methods used in CEU’s COSA. The specific method of cost classification and allocation for various rate base and expense items is discussed in further detail below.
3.5.1 Demand Allocation Factors
For purposes of this study, three types of demand allocation factors were developed.
◼ Non-Coincident Peak Demand Allocation Factor (NCP). First, the study develops a non-coincident peak demand allocation factor for each customer class. Expenses classif y and allocate by the non - coincident peak demand allocation factor including those predicated on maximum demands such as distribution substations, and a portion of poles and lines, transformers, meters, and services. The NCP demand method allocates costs to each class of service based upon their highest non-coincident peak demand regardless of the time of occurrence. These NCP demand allocators are further separate into NCP at primary (NCPP) and secondary voltages (NCPS).
◼ Monthly Coincident Peaks (CP). For each class of service, a contribution to the system coincidence peak in each month derive s from the non -coincident peak and the use of a coincidence factor.
Coincident peaks allocat e the demand -related po rtion of power purchases as they differ in each month based on system usage.
◼ 12 Coincident Peaks (12 CP). Coincident peaks typically allocate a portion of production costs and all of transmission costs because of sizing for the system peak.

3.5.2 Energy Allocation Factors
Energy costs vary directly with consumption. Accordingly, energy allocation factors base on electricity sales for each class. For purposes of monthly power supply costs, the energy in each month is the allocator.
3.5.3 Customer Allocation Factors
The study uses two basic types of customer costs—actual and weighted.
◼ Actual Customers (CUST). The allocation factor for actual customers derives from the actual number of customers served in each class of service, averaged across the 12 months of the 2024 FY test period.
◼ Customers Weighted for Meters and Services (CUSTM). The first weighted customer allocation factor considered the relative differences among the various customer classes of meter costs. The typical cost of a new meter for each rate class is the weighting factor for each class. CEU supplied updated costs for metering and services.
◼ Customers Weighted for Accounting/Metering (CUSTW). The second weighted customer allocation factor considered the cost of customer accounting and meter reading by each rate class. The weighting factors for CUSTW are the same as the ones developed in the previous study. and updated based on current metering costs.
3.5.4 Other Allocation Factors
Other costs allocate based on specific rate base items, O&M function totals, revenues, and special allocators.
3.5.5 Allocation of Rate Base
For the demand-related components of distribution, the NCPP is the allocation factor. Customer-related expenses are allocated based on customer count or a weighted count of customers such as for meters and services where customers with higher use are weighted more to account for the increased size of their meter and services.
General plant costs allocate to classes on the same basis as was used for each of the classified components.
Each of the accumulated depreciation accounts allocates in the same fashion as the corresponding gross plant accounts. Working capital items allocates on the same basis as the distribution rate base.
3.5.6 Allocation of Revenue Requirements
Because power supply purchases vary by month, power supply costs classify to demand and energy for each month and then allocate to customer classes based on the class contribution to system peak and energy loads for each month.
Distribution expense accounts correspond to a rate base account and follow allocation of the rate base item. For example, Maintenance of Station Equipment is allocated based on the Station Equipment

allocation in the Rate Base. Station equipment is demand classified and allocated based on NCPP. As such, the annual expenses follow this same methodology.
For customer service expenses, meter reading, customer billing and customer assistance allocate on customers weighting for accounting/metering. Credit and collections expenses are allocated based on customers.
G&A costs functionalize using labor ratios and then classify and allocate on the same basis as the rate base for each of the three functions. This follows the same treatment described for general plant.
Depreciation expenses follow the allocation treatment used by the associated functional accounts.
Depreciation for general plant and deferred charges follow the gross plant before general plant.
Interest expense is allocated on the same basis as the total rate base (net plant).
Other Contributions include the General Fund Transfer and taxes. The General Fund transfer is allocated based on revenues. The PERS tax is allocated based on all other O&M expenses.
CEU receives revenues from retail sales to customers, as well as for other activities, such as pole attachment fees. Because the COSA studies collecting revenues from rates by customer class, the other revenues of the utility are an offset to the revenue requirement. Other revenues credit back to customer classes in a manner that fits the specific revenue item. Table 3-6 shows the detailed classification and allocation methodology for Misc. Revenues.

3.6 LOAD ANALYSIS
To allocate costs within the COSA, a combination of customer, demand and energy factors are used. The customer and energy allocations are straightforward as both the number of customers and energy per class are easy to track and forecast. Demand per cust omer class is more difficult as there are several

different types of demand that are considered including the maximum demand for the individual meter, the maximum demand for the rate class and the actual demand for the rate class at the time of the overall system peak.
A key factor in a robust COSA is detailed load and consumption data on all customer classes. CEU supplied monthly aggregated load data from all customers by rate class for historical FY 2022- 2024. Having good aggregate data by rate class enabled GDS to use actual load and peak relationships from the historical period to develop FY 2026 cost allocation factors for all rate classes.

Overall, CEU needs a significant base rate increase. In addition, the rate levels among the rate classes need adjustments to rebalance the recovery of costs with the cost of service. COSA unit costs and rate recommendations are provided in the next section of this report.
4.1 SUMMARY OF ALLOCATION RESULTS
Given the above assumptions of the COSA, the various costs were classified and allocated to the customer classes of service. This section supplies the results of the COSA in summary form. The body of the report describes additional detail from the analysis.

5 Rate Design
This section of the report will provide a comparison of CEU’s current rates to the unit costs developed in the cost-of-service study as well as rate design recommendations. The rate level adjustments (% change) are reported in reference the CEU’s current rate levels which includes the PCA at $0.085/kWh for all customers.
5.1 CURRENT RATE DESIGN
The electric rates have up to four components: 1) a fixed monthly service charge (facilities charge) 2) volumetric rates , (3) demand charges, (4) Power Factor Adjustment, and (5) Public Benefits Charge.
Customers must pay the facilities charge regardless of energy use or demand.
• Facilities monthly service charge: the rates are established based on the size of the meter at the property receiving electric service and are calculated to recover a portion of the City’s fixed costs, such as meter reading and customer service.
• Variable rates : the rates are calculated based on the cost of wholesale electricity and transmission. Any remaining fixed costs that are not recovered through demand or facilities charges are also recovered from variable charges. An example is that residential rates typically recover a portion of the cost of maintaining the electric distribution system through energy variable charges. The variable rates are billed per kWh.
• Demand Charge: For demand-metered customers, demand charges recover the cost of demand- related power supply expenses and the cost of maintaining the electric distribution system. These charges are billed each month based on maximum kW. For time-of-use classes, demand is also calculated for the relevant time -of-use period and may not be the same as maximum monthly demand.
• Power Factor Adjustment: The power factor adjustment recovers the cost of inefficient use of power on the customer side of the meter. The power factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power. The power factor adjustment is billed per kVa.
• Public Benefits Charge – In 1996 the State of California required all publicly owned electric utilities to establish a charge for programs that would benefit the public such as low -income assistance, energy efficiency, and renewable resources. The Public Benefits Charge (PBC) is equal to 2.85% of the utility’s annual revenue requirement.
Combining the rates and billing determinants for each customer results in monthly bills and annual revenue.
With the current rate design, CEU collects the majority of its revenue through energy charges; however, expenses are largely driven by demand and customers. Figure 5 -1 indicates that demand and customer charges should be increased to better reflect the cost of service.

There are two steps in the rate change process, the first is deciding the overall rate change. Second is deciding how to spread that rate increase or decrease across customer classes. An overall rate adjustment of 3% is recommended for FY 2026. The following recommendations are incorporated into the recommended rates:
◼ Adjust rates annually by the recommended revenue adjustments for each rate class. ◼ Rebalance customer class rate levels to recover the rate class cost of service. These adjustments may result in rate adjustments that differ from the total adjustment. ◼ Increasing the fixed proportion of rate collection to align with COSA results ◼ Simplify the rate structure.
◼ Update time-of-use rate design to reflect current market price signals and cost of service.
The rate proposals in this section were developed based on COSA unit costs to improve interclass equity.
5.2 RECOMMENDE D RATES
Proposed and COSA rates are provided for each class below.
5.2.1 Residential
The current residential rate consists of a facilities charge and 4 -tier energy rate. The COSA showed that the facilities charge should be increased significantly; however, the recommended rate adjusts this charge gradually over time to minimize bill impacts to customers.
Overall, the energy rates are reduced to account for the increase in facilities charge. Second, the tiered rate design is simplified over time as well. The first two tiers are combined in FY 2026 and the highest two tiers are combined in FY 2028. Most usage (73.3%) is in the first two tiers, 23.6 % of usage is in Tier 3, and only 3.1% in Tier 4. Maintaining the tiers encourages efficient use of electricity.
The PBC (currently $0.0029/kWh) is updated based on 2.85% of the total revenue requirement.

5.2.4 Time-Of-Use Rate Classes
The primary goal of the rate design is to accurately reflect the cost of service depending on the time of day energy is used. Typically , higher-priced energy results from the combination of high electricity demands and constrained resource output , which occurs after the sun sets when lower-cost solar resources are no longer producing energy. The marginal cost of energy for CEU is considered to be the hourly market prices at the SP15 (South of Path 15) trading hub , adjusted for the Colton service area location. These prices are used to update the time periods for the Industrial and TOU LGS rate schedules.
Because of the large penetration of solar resources in the California markets, the highest priced periods typically occur in the evening. This is demonstrated in the average hourly market pricing data shown in Figure 5-2.4 These market prices are the marginal cost of electricity. In case of resource production surpluses or shortages, the City would sell or purchase energy at these prices. Figure 5-2 illustrates the

average hourly market pricing for the 3 -year period August 2021 -July 2024. 5 This period is the most relevant to the analysis since it is the most recent data available. This is because the shape of the pricing curves is more important than the pricing levels.
FIGURE 5 -2 AVE RAGE HOURLY WHOLE SALE E NE RGY PR ICE S
The current summer season is May 25 through September 25. In reviewing monthly power costs, and best practices in the State, it is recommended that October be added to the Summer season.
Based on the pricing data, it is recommended that the time-of-use periods be updated according to Table 5-5. The recommended rate design removes the three-period design in summer months. The result is an on-peak period that is consistent year-round from 4 pm to 9 pm every day. The simplification will make it easier for customers to remember when it’s more costly to use electricity and can help reduce bills and overall power costs to the utility.
5 While the natural gas shortage in winter 2023 inflated pricing in that period, removing that data from the analysis did not result in significant differences.

ITEM NO. 5
STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: CHARLES BERRY, ELECTRIC UTILITY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ENTER INTO THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO PHASE II
RENEWABLE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC POWER AUTHORITY (SCPPA) FOR
RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the First Amendment to Phase II Renewable Development Agreement with Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) for Renewable Energy Development Projects in the amount of $250,000.
BACKGROUND
The Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) is a Joint Powers Authority, formed in 1980 under the Joint Exercise Powers Act of the California Legislature. The City of Colton (Colton) is one of eleven municipal utilities and one irrigation district that make up the SCPPA members. SCPPA manages power supply needs for its various members to help maximize economies of scale and reduce risk among other responsibilities.
On January 19, 2012, the SCPPA Board of Directors approved and adopted Resolution 2012 -008 to authorize SCPPA to execute a Phase II Renewable Development Agreement between SCPPA and each of its members to pursue renewable development projects.
On February 19, 2013, Colton City Council approved and entered into a Phase II Development Agreement with SCPPA to facilitate and pursue renewable projects on Colton’s behalf, with a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 unless amended by both SCPPA and the City.

Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Agreement - Southern California Public Power Authority
May 6, 2025
This amendment will add additional funding in the amount of $250,000, for a total aggregate amount of $350,000, which will be expelled on an as -needed basis to facilitate negotiations of new projects.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Colton Electric Utility (CEU) has utilized SCPPA to perform joint member procurements for renewable projects to include, but not limited to Request for Proposals, proposal review, development agreement negotiations, project development, and project management services.
California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires utilities to achieve a 60% renewable energy target by 2030, establishing a resource mix comprised of sustainable renewable energy resources. The passage of Senate Bill (SB) 100 in 2022 affirmed state policy that 100% of retail sales of electricity be sourced from carbon -free resources by 2045. Colton actively pursues eligible renewable energy resources to help fulfill the State mandated RPS target and continue its path towards a more sustainable power supply mix on behalf of its customers. This First Amendment to the Phase II Renewable Development Agreement will support CEU’s ongoing efforts to meet state RPS compliance.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2024 -25 Budget, in Electric Utility Power Resource Development Professional Services Account Number 520-8000-8022-2350-0923-000.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.

ITEM NO. 6
STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: ANTHONY VEGA, POLICE CHIEF
SUBJECT: APPROVE OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT EXPANSION PROJECT WITH
ROADWAY ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION CORP.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 for the Police Department Parking Lot Expansion Project with Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. for $42,946.08; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department, situated within the City Hall property, functions as the central hub for all its operations. On any given day, the department can have up to 50 employees on duty simultaneously. This staffing level, however, presents a significant challenge in terms of parking, as the available, secured, parking lot only accommodates 35 personal vehicles.
Consequently, this shortage of parking spaces creates logistical and safety issues for staff.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On February 5, 2025, the notice to proceed for the Police Department Parking Lot Expansion Project was issued to Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. During construction it was discovered that the canopy in place that was being moved to a new location within the parking lot has a concrete foundation. Additional concrete foundation needs to be poured into the new area of the canopy. In addition, PD Staff decided to move the current generator to a new location within the parking lot to allow better space for movement in a future construction project. 6 Packet Pg. 303
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Change Order - Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp.
May 6, 2025
Additional funding through this change order is needed to pour a new concrete pad for the relocation of the generator, as well trenching for new conduit. This work needs to be done now so that when the generator is moved in the future, the parking lot does not need to be torn apart and only movement and hook-up of the generator will be needed.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Sufficient appropriations for the change order are available in the FY2024 -25 adopted budget in the following accounts.
Funding Source Account No. Change Order

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: CHARLES BERRY, ELECTRIC UTILITY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 4 WITH NINYO &
MOORE TO COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL WORK AT
CORPORATE YARD.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Ninyo & Moore, to complete Phase II Environmental with additional amendments to the scope of work from the Department of Toxic Substance Control, per terms of the PSA, including exhibits attached thereto.
BACKGROUND
The City of Colton has been working on a preconstruction design for a future Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Public Works and Utilities building in the current location of 160 S. 10 th Street. During the initial Geotechnical request for proposals (RFP), a land covenant/deed restriction was discovered on Assessor Parcel Number 163-041-38 in the City’s corporate yard.
The City applied for funding to mitigate the land use covenant. On July 1, 2022, the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) contacted the City of Colton as the selected inaugural grantee for the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) in the amount of $280,000.
City Council accepted the grant award September 6, 2022, with approval of Resolution No. R - 98-22.
Council has awarded the contract to Ninyo & Moore as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in accordance with Colton Municipal Code Sections 3.08.020 and 3.080.050(G) on 7 Packet Pg. 317

Contract Amendment - Ninyo & Moore
May 6, 2025
February 21, 2023. With these funds, staff has completed Phase I Environmental and is currently working on Phase II with Ninyo & Moore.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
After the first scoping meeting with DTSC, it was determined that additional site investigation work needed to be completed outside of the original scope of work that was awarded to Ninyo & Moore. DTSC wanted a Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI) Scoping Meeting, SSI workplan preparation, and implementation of the SSI for the City of Colton Maintenance Service Yard located at 160 South 10th Street in Colton, California (site). The additional cost for Amendment No. 1 to the contract was $49,590, approved by City Council on July 18, 2023. On March 28, 2023 Ninyo and Moore submitted Amendment No. 2 for additional work per the direction of DTSC. The additional cost to Amendment No. 2 was approved by Council on November 17, 2023 for $8,652.
After a conference call between the City of Colton, DTSC and Ninyo & Moore on December 12, 2023, it was determined that in addition to submitting a proposal for an Addendum to the SSI workplan, additional costs for the implementation of the addendum SSI Workplan and preparation of the removal action plan (RAW) to address site cleanup should be included in the amendment to the City of Colton Maintenance Service Yard location.
Amendment No. 3 was approved by the council on February 6, 2024, based on DTSC comments on December 12, 2023. From this approval, the Supplemental Site Investigation Addendum Report was submitted to DTSC for comments and approval. DTSC res ponded with a conditionally approved supplemental site investigation report requesting a deeper soil vapor impact investigation associated with a clarifier and wash rack where elevated levels of PCE and chloroform were discovered.
Staff recommend approving Amendment No. 4 with Ninyo and Moore , to complete the site investigation request as they are familiar with the project and have been instrumental in receiving the additional grant funds from DTSC.
The amount requested in Amendment No. 4 is $177,000, which brings the total value of the agreement for services to $ 247,644 which is funded fully from DTSC grant awards . This will complete the site investigation fieldwork and the cleanup action plan.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Sufficient appropriations for the proposed $ 177,000 contract amendment are available in the FY 2024-25 adopted budget in Electric Utility Fund Capital Improvement Expenditure Account Number 520-8000-8001-3890-0107-000 upon approval of Resolution No. R-15-25.

SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT TO INNOVATIVE PLAYGROUND DESIGN
FOR INSTALLATION OF COOLEY RANCH STATE PRESCHOOL
PLAYGROUND.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1. Award Construction Contract to Innovative Playground Design to install Playground Option 1 at Cooley Ranch State Preschool, not -to-exceed $ 199,838.70, by the established deadline of June 30, 2025
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all contracts necessary to proceed.
BACKGROUND
The Cooley Ranch State Preschool is a City -operated early childhood education program located on a shared -use site with Cooley Ranch Elementary School, in partnership with Colton Joint Unified School District. This program provides access to high -quality, state -funded preschool services to families in the Colton community.
The preschool site does not currently have a designated, age -appropriate playground within the fenced area of the preschool . Outdoor learning and physical activity are essential components of early childhood development, and the absence of suitable play equipment limits the ability of the program to meet California Department of Education guidelines for high -quality preschool environments.

Contract Award - Innovative Playground Design
May 6, 2025
To address the longstanding need for a designated outdoor play area, the Community Services Department, Early Care & Education Division, identified the installation of a new playground at Cooley Ranch State Preschool as a priority capital project. Funding has been secured through a combination of State contract funds and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocations received over the past three fiscal years. The new playground is specifically designed for children ages 2 – 5 and will include developmentally appropriate play equipment, limited shading, and compliant safety surfacing to support physical activity and social development in a secure, age -appropriate environment.
In March 2025, the City initiated a formal procurement process through BidNet, the City’s approved online bidding platform. A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted publicly, outlining the project scope, technical specifications, compliance requirements, timeline, and evaluation criteria. To ensure all prospective bidders had a complete understanding of the project site and expectations, a mandatory job walk was held on April 8, 2025, at the preschool location.
Seven vendors attended the walk -through. Only vendors who participated in the job walk and submitted complete proposals by the stated deadline were considered during the evaluation phase.
Proposals were received from two qualified companies: Innovative Playgrounds and Great Western Recreation by the deadline of April 21, 2025 . Each submitted two design options at varying price points , with the understanding that installation must be completed no later than June 30, 2025, to remain compliant with State funding requirement.
City staff from both the Community Services and Public Works Departments conducted a thorough review of all submitted proposals. Each proposal met the minimum requirements, including ADA accessibility, CPSC and ASTM safety compliance, and demonstrated strong manufacturer reliability supported by solid reputations within the industry.
Following detailed evaluation, staff recommends awarding the playground installation contract to Innovative Playground Design for Design Option #1. This option was selected based on its superior balance of quality, inclusive design features, overall play value, and the vendor’s ability to deliver the project within the required timeframe. Design Option #1 offers a well-rounded play experience with multiple stations that promote physical, social, and cognitive development for preschool-aged children, while fitting efficiently within the existing site footprint. The total contract amount for this project is $199,838.70, which includes all equipment, materials, and installation services. The matrix below explores the price points and total score for each out of a total of 400:
Option 1 Option 2 Total Score
Great Western Recreation $ 281,225.64 $ 164,213.11 353 Innovative Playground Design $ 199,838.70 $ 185,755.58 367.5
The installation of a new playground at Cooley Ranch State Preschool will significantly enhance the learning environment, improve program quality, and ensure compliance with early childhood 8 Packet Pg. 321

education facility standards. With procurement complete and funding secured, the project is ready for implementation.
FISCAL IMPACTS
This project is funded through a combination of restricted State contract earnings and previously allocated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Specifically:
• State Contract Funds: A portion of the project cost will be covered by reimbursement - eligible earnings from the City’s ongoing participation in the California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contract. These funds are designated for facility improvements that support health, safety, and developmental outcomes for enrolled children. • ARPA Funding: The remaining balance will be funded through sub-recipient ARPA allocations designated for early childhood education and facility enhancements. These funds were previously accepted by the City Council and reserved for capital improvements benefiting underserved and high-need populations.
Sufficient appropriations for the contract are available in the FY2024-25 adopted budget in the following accounts:
Early Care & Education Fund – CSPP 206-7200-7202-3890-0000-000 $ 43,780.00 Early Care & Education Fund – ARPA 206-7200-7208-3890-0000-000 $156,058.70

SUBJECT: CONFIRM ONGOING EMERGENCY CONDITION AT AGUA
MANSA POWER PLANT.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Confirm ongoing emergency conditions at Agua Mansa Power Plant and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all necessary agreements to complete repairs to the power plant and simultaneously execute all necessary agreements with all vendors as required as provisioned in Colton Municipal Code § 3.08.130 (A).
BACKGROUND
On Friday, February 14, 2025, Ag ua Mansa Power Plant (AMPP) experienced a fault condition on the medium -voltage bus work interconnecting the generator switchgear to the step -up transformer. Upon investigation, the bus work is determined to be non -serviceable due to the extensive damage caused by multiple faults. Due to this non -serviceable status, the bus work, which is a proprietary product, must be replaced, resulting in AMPP being out of market until all repairs are completed.
The emergency conditions were affirmed by the City Council at its regular meeting on March 18, 2025. Pursuant to the Colton Municipal Code 3.08.130 (A), a report on the emergency and work performed shall be provided at the next regular meeting of the City Council, and then at every meeting thereafter.

Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Emergency Condition - Agua Mansa Power Plant
May 6, 2025
With AMPP out of the market, the power plant remains unavailable to be called upon to support the City’s energy needs in addition to the broader California Independent System Operator (CAISO) controlled SP 15 market. Based upon staff analysis of replacement energy and energy related products, the immediate cost exposure is $6,300,000 in addition to the replacement costs for the bus work, which is estimated at $1,100,000 for a total unplanned forced outage cost of $7,400,000. This analysis to market exposure assumes the repairs can be made and AMPP is placed back into market on, or before July 31, 2025.
Should repairs extend beyond July 31, 2025 , and AMPP remain s out of market, the financial liability to the Electric Utility will grow exponentially , not only in energy and related products, but also in potential fines levied by the CAISO due to an unplanned forced outage condition.
Conversely, if staff can complete repairs and return AMPP to market ahead of the July 31, 2025 date, the Electric Utility will realize the benefits of market cost avoidance.
Given the significant financial exposure to the City , the City Manager’s Office has issued an emergency declaration and directed staff to effectuate repairs in the most responsible and economic manner possible. To accomplish this, the City has invoked Colton Municipal Code
3.08.130 (A), dispatching with the formal budding requirements and executing all necessary agreements to complete repairs and restore AMPP to dispatchable status.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Sufficient appropriations are available in Fiscal Year 2024 -2025 adopted budget in Electric Utility Fund Agua Mansa Power Plant Capital Account Number 520-8000-8009-4930-0107-000.

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017 (SB-1); RESOLUTION NO. R-27- 25 RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Approve Resolution No. R-27-25 (Exhibit A) adopting the List of Projects for FY 25-26 funded by SB-1: Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017 , the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Beall, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 known as SB -1, to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road systems. The 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that majority of the City’s streets and roads are in an at -risk/poor condition and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into good condition. SB-1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees. A percentage of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding will be apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.

Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032.5(a) articulates the general intent of the legislation that recipients of RMRA funding be held accountable for the efficient investment of public funds to maintain local streets and roads and are accountable to the people through performance goals that are tracked and reported.
Pursuant to SHC Section 2030(a), the objective of the Local Streets and Roads Program is to address deferred maintenance on the local streets and roads system through the prioritization and delivery of basic road maintenance and rehabilitation projects as well as critical safety projects.
Cities and counties receiving RMRA funds must comply with all relevant federal and state laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. The main requirement for the program is the submittal of the list of projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the Controller in a fiscal year. All projects proposed to receive funding must be included in a city or county budget that is adopted by the applicable City Council or County Board of Supervisors at a regular public meeting. The list of projects is intended to cover, at a minimum, the applicable fiscal year. Project information for future fiscal years can be included and can be updated as needed prior to submittal to the CTC. Any update on project list requires City Council approval.
Below is the list of proposed streets for funding by SB -1 for Fiscal Year 25 -26. Also shown is the project limit and corresponding Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of these streets:

Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a numerical index between 0 and 100 being used to indicate the general condition and distress of a pavement. PCI is rated 0 -100, 100 being best and 0 as worst condition. The descriptive range of the PCI ratings are: 0-25 (Very Poor), 26 -40 (Poor), 41-50 (marginal), 51 -60 (Fair), 61 -70 (Good), 71 -85 (Very Good) and 86 -100 (Excellent).
Pavement distress includes but not limited to cracking, bumps, sags, potholes, joint reflections and exposed aggregates. The average PCI of the City’s road network (total of 141.5 miles) is 65.
The national average PCI rating is 60-65.
The projected SB -1 expenditures for the City of Colton for FY 25 -26 is $1, 410,411. This submittal is for the ninth year of SB -1 funding. The City of Colton’s Public Works Department manages compliance with RMRA requirements for eligibility and reporting. The City is in compliance on all previous submittals and reporting.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The total cost of listed streets for FY 25 -26 is $1, 410,411. Appropriations requests for the FY 25-26 Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB -1) Projects are included in the proposed FY 25-26 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: CHARLES BERRY, ELECTRIC UTILITY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF 130VDC BATTERY BANK AND
CHARGER FROM AMERICAN POWER SYSTEMS, LLC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Approve the purchase of a battery bank and charger from American Power Systems, LLC for $53,757.30 (sales tax included), in accordance with Colton Municipal Code 3.08.080(C) and
3.08.120.
BACKGROUND
The Colton Electric Utility (CEU) uses 130V DC battery banks and charging systems to provide uninterrupted power supply to protection and control devices at each of its 5 electric substations and 1 switchyard. The normal life expectancy of batteries and charging systems is approximately 10 years. Hub’s existing battery bank was in stalled in 2010, and the charger was installed in 2005, which are both now beyond their useful life and require replacement.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On November 25, 2024, Hub’s battery bank experienced voltage instability due to failing battery cells, resulting in substantial battery bank degradation. CE U staff were able to secure provisional batteries for system continuity while procurement of a replacement battery bank and charger could be completed. CE U staff recommends replacing the Valve Regulated Lead -Acid (VRLA) batteries with Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) to increase capacity and life cycle of the battery bank. As the battery and charging system at the Hub Substation are at the end of their useful life, it is necessary to replace them with a robust system to prevent damage to critical substation equipment and to maintain system reliability. 11 Packet Pg. 390

SENS Terms & Conditions of Sale
General
The terms and conditions of sale hereinafter set forth (“Terms”) are expressly made part of the quotation and/or acknowledgement of Stored Energy Systems, a Limited Liability Company (“Seller”). These Terms apply to all sales made by Seller except to the extent the Terms conflict with a Sales Agreement signed by Seller and Purchaser. These Terms apply in lieu of any course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the industry. These Terms may in some instances conflict with some of the terms and conditions affixed to the purchase order or other procurement document issued by the Purchaser. In such case, the Terms contained herein shall govern, and acceptance of Purchaser’s order is expressly conditioned upon Purchaser’s acceptance of the Terms herein, irrespective of whether the Purchaser accepts these conditions by a written acknowledgement, by implication, or acceptance and payment of products ordered hereunder. Seller’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Purchaser shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions herein. Any changes in the Terms contained herein must specifically be agreed to in writing signed by an officer of Seller before becoming binding on either party.
Payment
Domestic terms of payment are net cash in U.S. funds, 30 days from date of invoice upon approved credit, credit card, prepayment via bank wire transfer, and approved letter of credit for orders over $10,000. International terms of payment are 100% prepayment via bank wire transfer in U.S. dollars, credit card, or approved letter of credit for orders over $10,000. In the event that any matter is referred for collection, Buyer will pay any and all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees. The Seller reserves the right to restrict the terms of payments or to require payment prior to time of shipment, or to cancel or defer any order or any part thereof, whenever, in Seller’s sole opinion, the Buyer’s financial condition or other circumstances do not warrant shipment on the terms originally specified in the contract. All rights of the Seller hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to any and all rights and remedies afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Colorado.
Shipment
All prices are FCA Factory or other point of shipment unless otherwise expressly agreed upon by the Seller. Method and route of shipment are at Seller’s discretion. For all other items, and in all instances where Purchaser specifies the method and/or route of shipment, the goods are shipped at Purchaser’s expense, “Shipping and Handling collect.” Dock receipts are the responsibility of the Purchaser.
Identification, Title, And Risk of Loss
Title and risk of loss shall pass to the Purchaser when the goods are placed in the hands of the carrier for shipment.
Loss, Damage, Or Delay
Shipping dates are estimated only and are based on conditions at time of quotation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, delivery time is not of the essence. Seller does not accept liability for any loss arising from delay in delivery of products.
Storage
In the event that shipment of the goods is unreasonably delayed because of Purchaser’s unwillingness or inability to accept delivery or because of Purchaser’s request to witness any test, Seller will store the goods and charge Purchaser for the cost of storage, insurance, maintenance of the goods, and other incidental costs.
Taxes, Duties and Licenses: All prices are exclusive of applicable federal, state or local taxes, export duties, or like taxes and duties, unless otherwise expressly provided. Seller shall have no obligation to secure any export license or permit for its products.
Installation and Service
All prices are exclusive of the services of a field service specialist for field installation or services. The charge for such services may be negotiated and included in the price or purchased on a separate purchase order at existing rates. If Purchaser installs the goods, it shall do so in accordance with instructions provided by Seller.
Returns
All sales are final. No goods may be returned without the prior written consent of the Seller. If Seller elects to accept a return for credit, a restocking fee per the following table will apply, and Seller will issue a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA). Goods returned without such RMA or with shipping and handling due, or without payment of the restocking fee will be refused.

Release for Manufacture
Purchase orders received, processed, and acknowledged requiring approval of engineering drawings, or other form of literature, prior to “release for manufacture,” or stipulating a “hold for approval” for any reason, are deemed to be special in their content. Receipt of said approved drawings, or literature, or confirmation of approval of same, is considered release to manufacture.
Approval of said drawings, or release to manufacture, by the company issuing said purchase order, or its representative, is considered acceptance of the technical capability of said equipment to meet its needs and acceptance of the responsibility of all cost of processing, engineering and manufacture of said order and entitles Seller to the full selling price of all items included on said purchase order or addendums to same.
Force Majure
Seller is not liable for loss, damage, detention, or delay due to causes beyond its reasonable control such as acts of God, acts of Purchaser, acts of civil or military authority, priorities, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, war, riot, delays in transportation, government restrictions or embargoes, or difficulties in obtaining necessary labor, materials, and manufacturing facilities due to such causes.
Limitation of Liability
Purchaser agrees that seller shall not be liable for any special, incidental, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages including but not limited to loss of goodwill, even if seller shall have been advised of the possibility of such potential loss or damage, arising out of or resulting from the sale, installation or use of any seller product or service or for any other reason. Seller’s total cumulative liability in connection with any occurrence or series of occurrences, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, will not exceed the contractual value of the specific goods or services from which the liability arises.
Governing Law; Venue
All contracts for the purchase of Seller’s products are deemed to be made at Seller’s offices in Longmont, Colorado, and deemed Colorado contracts, and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado in effect on the date of the contract. The parties agree and consent that the appropriate jurisdiction and venue for any legal action based on this Contract shall be in the County of Boulder, State of Colorado.
Export regulations
Purchaser agrees to comply fully with all laws and regulations concerning the purchase and sale of goods. In particular, Buyer agrees to comply with the Export Administration Regulations of the United States in so far as they apply to the sale of goods.
Service

STAFF REPORT
DATE: MAY 6, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: CHARLES BERRY, ELECTRIC UTILITY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF ELECTRIC METER LOCK RINGS FROM INNER-TITE.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Approve the sole source purchase of Agbay meter lock rings from Inner-Tite, for $148,813.50, in accordance with Colton Municipal Code 3.08.140(b).
BACKGROUND
The Colton Electric Utility (CEU), Substation Division, standardized on the use of Inner-Tite meter lock rings, and in 2009 migrated to the “Agbay” keyed locking mechanism. “Agbay” is a premium security barrel lock patented by Inner -Tite. Inner -Tite has created an exclusive combination (key) used by CEU staff for locking and unlocking meter rings.
A meter lock ring is a consumable item that is routine in its use and is considered a high security locking mechanical device that protects against unauthorized removal of an electric meter . The Inner-Tite meter lock ring is manufactured from heavy -duty carbon steel, “Agbay” that is case hardened to resist cutting, tamper resistant and pick proof, making it ideal for utility applications.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
As part of the continuing program to change out CE U’s existing electric meters, there has been a contrasting amount of lock rings versus meters purchased. Since 2021, CE U has increased the purchase amount of lock rings to help manage this contrast. Staff is requesting to purchase quantities of meter lock rings to cover the annual purchase and to continue to advance on the backlog of lock ring replacements.
