REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Adoption of Plans and Specifications for the Glorietta 968 Reservoir West Cell Floor Rehabilitation Project.
1. Resolution adopting Specification No. 3962 and Plans, for the work necessary to complete the Glorietta 968 Reservoir West Cell Floor Rehabilitation Project and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for November 28, 2023 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The intent of this report is for City Council to adopt Plans and Specification for the work necessary to re-seal the concrete floor joints of the West Cell of Glorietta 968 Reservoir and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Plans and Specification for the work necessary to re-seal the concrete floor joints of the West Cell of Glorietta 968 Reservoir and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
BACKGROUND/Analysis
The City of Glendale’s potable water system contains 28 tanks and reservoirs that are located throughout the City. GWP staff inspects and maintains these reservoirs and tanks on a routine schedule following the American Water Works Association (AWWA) guidelines. Depending on the condition of the facility, minor repairs and modifications can be completed, major repairs may be needed, or in some cases, a complete asset replacement is needed.
Glorietta 968 Reservoir is over 90 years old. Intermediate patchwork on the floor joints has been completed since its construction, but no complete rehabilitation of the floor joints has been completed to date. It is currently out of service in preparation for this work.
As reservoirs age, their construction develops symptoms of that aging process by leaking through the joints in the reservoir’s floor construction, where water pressure is the greatest. This leak rate gradually increases over time unless it is mitigated. The 24 of 345
24d
4 5
5 3
leaking condition at Glorietta 968 Reservoir has progressed to the point where its contribution to the total losses in Glendale’s water system is unacceptable.
If approved, the Glorietta 968 Reservoir West Cell Floor Rehabilitation Project will mitigate these losses, adding years to the life of the reservoir, as well as keep the City in compliance with its water loss mitigation goals.
The Glorietta 968 Reservoir West Cell Floor Rehabilitation Project consists of the removal of all existing joint sealant in the floor of the entire West Cell of Glorietta Reservoir, followed by the application of new joint sealant. Totaling approximately 3,650 linear feet, the floor joints of the reservoir will be restored to “new” condition, and the cell can be put back into service.
Activity Projected Date of Completion
Project Award February 2024
Construction April 2024
Project Closeout Activities June 2024
While overall costs increased substantially from 2020 to 2022, construction costs have stabilized into a gradually increasing rate with inflation over the past year. Staff is anticipating a five percent increase in cost for this project from preliminary quotes from qualified contractors that were received in July 2023. Therefore, an anticipated five percent increase in cost has been included in the Engineer’s Estimate.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The engineer’s estimate of total project cost is between $170,000 and $200,000. Staff will request appropriation at contract award.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review as a Class 1 Existing Facilities project for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for November 28, 2023 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Permeable Ally Project will repave alleys in western and southern Glendale with permeable pavement which will capture stormwater. On October 25, 2023, two bids were received for the Permeable Alley Project, and after a thorough review, staff found Toro Enterprises, Inc.’s bid to be a responsive bid from a responsible bidder.
The intent of this item is for the City Council to award a contract to Toro Enterprises, Inc., that will cost $8,345,145 with a 10 percent contract contingency of $834,515, totaling $9,179,660.
Additionally, a resolution of appropriation is needed to appropriate CIP Reimbursement Funds and State Gas Tax Funds to fully fund this project. 29 of 345

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion authorizing a construction contract with Toro Enterprises Inc. for the Permeable Alley Project in the amount of $8,345,145 plus a 10 percent contract contingency of $834,515 and approve the resolution of appropriation to appropriate funds in the amount of $9,179,660 from the CIP Reimbursement Fund and State Gas Tax Fund for the Permeable Alley Project.
ANALYSIS
The Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) has made significant investments in litter collection, community engagement, and education to transform unsightly roadsides into spaces of pride for all Californians. CCLGP is a statewide effort with potential projects across the state, with nearly a third of the funds being spent directly in cities, counties, tribes, and transit agencies to clean local streets and public spaces. In January 2022, PWD participated in the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the CCLGP.
On September 9, 2022, the City received an award of $4,998,000 and the Notice to Proceed from the California Department of Transportation for the Permeable Alley Project. This is a project that will repave alleys in western and southern Glendale neighborhoods, replacing the current pavement surface with permeable pavement to effectively capture and treat stormwater runoff.
The scope of work includes the removal of existing deteriorated asphalt concrete pavement and replacement with a permeable concrete gutter and new asphalt concrete pavement. This will provide a new service life for the alley segment and incorporate stormwater infiltration improvements to capture and treat stormwater runoff and replenish the underground aquifers at the following alleys:
1. Alley No. 1 between Wilson Avenue and Harvard Street
2. Alley No. 4 and 5 between Broadway and Chevy Chase Drive
3. Alley No. 9 from Lomita Avenue to the southerly terminus
4. Alley No. 10 from Adams Street to the westerly terminus
5. Alley No. 25 between Justin Avenue and Ruberta Avenue
6. Alley No. 37 between Rosedale Avenue and Newby Street
7. Alley No. 39 between Sonora Avenue and Grover Avenue
8. Alley No. 48 between Gardena Avenue and Railroad Street
9. Alley No. 49 between Central Avenue and El Bonito Avenue
10.Alley No. 57 from Alma Street to Highland Avenue
11.Alley No. 62 and 66 from Harvard Street to the southerly terminus
12.Alley No. 64 from Norton Avenue to Alma Street

26.Alley No. 250 between Burchett Street and Arden Avenue
27.Alley No. 257 from Willard Avenue to southeasterly terminus
28.Alley No. 295 between Cleveland Road to Norton Avenue Not all stormwater can effectively be captured through the use of permeable pavement.
Therefore, additional stormwater infiltration infrastructure in the form of drywells will be installed at the following locations adjacent to the alleys:
1. 822 Cleveland Road
2. 916 Cleveland Road
3. Across from 750 Doran Street
4. Across from 820 Doran Street
5. 827 Idlewood Road

14.913 Ruberta Avenue
At locations with the presence of extensive underground utilities that will conflict with the installation of a drywell system, further additional stormwater infiltration infrastructure in the form of bioswales will be installed at the following locations adjacent to the alleys:
1. 549 Alexander Street
2. 215 S. Cedar Street
3. 244 N. Cedar Street
4. 210 N. Cedar Street
5. 212 S. Everett Street

On September 19, 2023, the City Council adopted the project plans and specification and authorized the city clerk to advertise the project for bids. The project was advertised in the Glendale News Press, the City’s website, as well as various online platforms.
On October 25, 2023, the city received two bids from contractors as follows:
1. Toro Enterprises, Inc. $ 8,345,145
2. Environmental Construction, Inc. $ 9,979,353
Upon review of the bid documents, staff finds the bid of Toro Enterprises, Inc. of $8,345,145 to be the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder. The bid of Toro Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $8,345,145 is approximately 0.5% below the Engineer’s Estimate of $8,385,000.
In addition, staff recommends a reserve for contingencies in the amount of $834,515 or 10 percent of the bid amount. The contingency is based on previous experience with projects, and this is in conformance with the nature of this project. This will also allow staff to account for any incidental work, unforeseen field conditions that could be encountered during construction, underground utilities issues that could arise because of the nature of the project, and any resulting field modifications that may be necessary.
The State of California Contractor’s State License Board website confirms that the license of Toro Enterprises, Inc. is current, active, and in good standing. Additionally, staff contacted the references provided by Toro Enterprises, Inc. and found they had satisfactorily completed their projects. Also, Toro Enterprises, Inc. has previously completed the Maintenance District 6 Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 1 Project and Pennsylvania Avenue Rehabilitation Project for the City of Glendale in a satisfactory manner.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in January 2024 and is scheduled for completion by June 2024.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The environmental benefits to the community stakeholders because of this project will include the following:
Stormwater Management: This project will help manage stormwater runoff by allowing it to percolate into the ground instead of flowing over the surface, which can help reduce the risk of flooding in the project neighborhood.
Groundwater Recharge: This project will allow stormwater to percolate into the ground, recharging groundwater, which can help replenish aquifers and improve the groundwater levels.

Pollution Reduction: This project will help reduce the pollution by filtering out pollutants and contaminants from stormwater runoff before it enters the groundwater supply or existing storm drain systems.
Pavement Rehabilitation: This project will reconstruct the pavement of the alleys in poor condition with permeable pavement portions and begin a new service life for the pavement surface.
Additionally, before the City of Glendale was awarded CCLGP funds, a project-specific community engagement effort was conducted. A project specific website was created to collect feedback on the project prior to the application for grant funds. As part of the public information campaign, a factsheet was prepared that summarized key components of the project with a link to a brief online survey. This information was provided to the public through an email blast to stakeholder groups and posted on the city’s website and social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
Public engagement materials included a fact sheet which provided an overview of the project’s improvements and benefits. The fact sheet also included links to the project website and project survey. The project survey also included background information on the project, with questions given to stakeholders for public input that focused on the following topics:
•The type of improvements that would be supported;
•Information on how respondents first heard of project; and •Requested contact information to keep respondents informed of the project’s progress and other related information.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through a dedicated website for the project. The website page introduces the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
The construction of the Permeable Alley Project will cost $9,179,660, which was not included as a part of the FY 2023-24 approved budget. Therefore, staff is requesting for an appropriation of $4,998,000 from the CIP Reimbursement Fund and shifting of appropriation of $4,181,660 from an existing State Gas Tax Fund project. The appropriation requests are outlined below:

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not approve the motion authorizing a construction contract and resolution of appropriation for the Permeable Alley Project. Doing so, however, will not improve the condition of the city alleys and result in the loss of Clean California Local Grant funds, and the city will need to implement other effective stormwater management and pavement rehabilitation practices for these areas.
Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize City Manager to execute all agreements, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and appropriate the Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program funds in the amount of $252,755.46 from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) or Metro for the Nature Education Program at Stone Barn Nature Center in Glendale’s Deukmejian Wilderness Park for FY2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26.
ANALYSIS
The Metro Board of Directors adopted the Transit to Parks Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) in June 2019. The Strategic Plan presents a systematic vision for increasing access to parks and open spaces countywide. The goal of the Strategic Plan is to find targeted, holistic ways to increase access to parks and open spaces, especially for communities most in need of such access. Improving access to parks and open spaces by filling in the gaps in the regional transportation network requires collaboration at all levels of government. As such, the Metro Board of Directors directed actions to implement several key items related to the Strategic Plan, including collaborating with the Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) by contributing $1 million in funding for the Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program.
The overarching goals of Metro’s funding for the Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program include the following:
• Advance key Metro policies, especially the Transit to Parks Strategic Plan and the Equity Platform.
• Provide connections to High Need quality parks and open spaces, especially for communities that lack access.
• Serve as a catalyst to advance Transit to Parks projects and initiatives across Los Angeles County.
• Encourage innovative partnerships, supportive programming, and advance models for Transit to Parks connections.
The application filing period for the Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program opened on June 20, 2022, and closed on September 29, 2022. On September 29, 2022, the City of Glendale applied to request funding for the Nature Education Program at Stone Barn Nature Center in Deukmejian Wilderness Park. The funds would support the chartered bus transportation for the youth participating in the Nature Education Program offered at the Stone Barn Nature Center from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026. CSP will implement a chartered bus service with designated stops located in south Glendale to visit Deukmejian Wilderness Park, and on the northside once a week to allow youth and their families to explore the park on their own, as part of the monthly Glendale Outdoors (GO!) Program where youth and their families can ride the bus at no-charge. Also, CSP will schedule field trips with GUSD and other local schools, to address barriers that 41 of 345
34d

6 8
underserved and economically marginalized communities face to accessing nature experiences.
On March 15, 2023, the City of Glendale project was submitted to the Metro Planning & Programming Committee for award recommendation. The Committee provided support for the award recommendation, and the project approval advanced to the Metro Board Meeting. On March 23, 2023, the Metro Board of Directors approved the project selection and programming of $1 million for the Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program for two projects: City of Pasadena and Nature for All’s project, “Mt. Wilson Express Route Development & Operations” and City of Glendale’s project, “Nature Education Program at the Stone Barn Nature Center in Glendale's Deukmejian Wilderness Park”.
The project’s Scope of Work includes bus transportation with designated stops in Glendale to visit Deukmejian Wilderness Park once a week to allow youth and their families to explore the park on their own as part of the monthly GO! Program where youth and their families can ride the bus at no charge. CSP will also offer bus transportation for school field trips to the Park with GUSD and other local schools in Glendale.
As of November 2, 2023, the funding agreement between Metro and the City of Glendale has been fully executed with Effective Date of August 14, 2023. The grant requires a 10% local match from the City and CSP identified Measure S – Stone Barn Nature Center funds as the local match funds.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The target participants for this program include City employees and families, Glendale residents, community members and visitors from other cities all over LA County. Other participants include GUSD faculty, students from GUSD elementary, middle and high schools, and other students from local Glendale schools. CSP advertises the nature education programs through the department website, social media, flyers at counters, City and department newsletters and GTV6, City of Glendale’s official government access channel, featuring city meetings, public affairs and educational programs. CSP is also working with GUSD to advertise the field trip opportunities to elementary schools and help pay for the buses for the field trips.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Recreation Access Competitive Grant Program funds awarded through Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) or Metro in the amount of $252,755.46 were not included as a part of the FY 2023-2024 budget, as it was awarded after the budget process. Therefore, staff is requesting to appropriate $252,756 from local grant revenue.

Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3).

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not accept the grant funds in the amount of $252,755.46 from LACMTA for the Nature Education Program at Stone Barn Nature Center in Glendale’s Deukmejian Wilderness Park or increase the contract for Mission School Transportation, Inc., which will mean bus transportation will not be available for elementary schools or south Glendale residents to get to Deukmejian park to participate in nature education programs or visit the nature center.
Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff. 43 of 345

3.2 GRANTEE shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or projects not specified in this Agreement. Further, GRANTEE shall not use the Funds for any expenses or activities beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment B). *3.3 GRANTEE must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If GRANTEE intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with GRANTEE s contracting procedures and consistent with State law. GRANTEE will also use the Funds in the most cost- -

A conflict of interest would include, without limitation, an organizational conflict of interest or when any of the following parties has a financial or other interest in any entity selected for award: (a) a GRANTEE Party (b) any member of a GRANTEE GRANTEE Party; (d) any
organization that employs or intends to employ any of the above. This conflict of interest provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going Project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.
3.5 GRANTEE is obligated to continue using the Project consistent with the public transportation purposes for which the Project was approved. The Project right-of-way and real property purchased to implement the Project shall remain dedicated to public transportation use. The obligations set forth in this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3.6 If GRANTEE desires to use the Funds to purchase or lease equipment including, without limitation, office equipment, computer hardware or software, or other necessary to perform or provide the services set forth in the Scope of Work, GRANTEE must obtain LACMTA or
leasing any Equipment. Equipment purchased or leased without such prior written consent shall be deemed an unallowable expenditure of the Funds.

For the avoidance of doubt, GRANTEE is not permitted to use the Funds to purchase or lease vehicles for the Project.
3.7 If an Equipment ceases to be used for the proper use as originally stated in the Scope of Work, GRANTEE will be required to return to LACMTA the Funds used to purchase or lease such Equipment in proportion to the useful life remaining and in equal proportion of the Funds to GRANTEE Funding Commitment ratio.

3.8 If any Project facilities or any real property purchased to implement the Project is no longer used or is no longer needed for the Project, including construction easements or excess property, GRANTEE will be required to return to LACMTA the Funds used to design, construct or acquire such Project facilities or real property in equal proportion of the grant to GRANTEE Funding Commitment ratio. The obligations set forth in this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3.9 If GRANTEE desires to use any Project facility or any real property purchased to implement the Project to generate revenue, GRANTEE shall first obtain arrangement. GRANTEE shall provide LACMTA with the applicable information regarding the transaction, including without limitation, the property at issue, the proposed use of the property, the amount of revenue, any impact to the Project and the proposed use of the revenue. LACMTA consent may be conditioned on whether bond funds were used, and how GRANTEE plans to use the revenue, including, without limitation, sharing any net revenues with LACMTA. If GRANTEE GRANTEE shall be
considered in default and LACMTA shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation the return of the Funds to cover the cost of the property in question. The obligations set forth in this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3.10 GRANTEE understands that this Agreement does not provide any rights for GRANTEE to use LACMTA real property needed for the Project. If the Project requires use of LACMTA Property, GRANTEE will need to enter into a separate agreement with LACMTA in accordance with LACMTA real property policies and procedures. Nothing in this Agreement obligates LACMTA to provide GRANTEE with any real estate right.
4. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS:

The Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report shall include all supporting documentation (such as contractor invoices, timesheets, receipts, etc.) with a clear justification and explanation of their relevance to the Project for reimbursement. If no activity has occurred during a particular quarter, GRANTEE will still be required to submit the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report indicating no dollars were expended that quarter.

For the GO! Program, the route starts at Pacific
Community Center (501 S Pacific Ave, Glendale, CA
91204) and ends at Deukmejian Wilderness Park (3429
Markridge Rd, Glendale, CA 91214), which is about 9.5
miles for one-way (as seen with included map) and a total of about 19 miles roundtrip.
Routes for the school field trips will be determined based on location of the participating school(s).
Some of the performance metrics to be used includes, but not limited to:
Number of participants served per fiscal year of grant period Number of unlinked passenger trips
o Note: Unlinked passenger trips counts the number of total one-way trips provided to all riders during a specific period. For example, if one vehicle transports three individuals from their homes to the grocery store and then back home, six unlinked passenger trips were provided.
Participant feedback
As part of the performance metric to track community support/awareness, CSP will be engaging local nonprofit organizations in the Glendale community. These community partners will assist with conducting outreach to clients, residents and other stakeholders in Glendale. Also, CSP will be tracking the number of CSP events where outreach will take place (Summer Concerts at the Park, National Night Out, Fall Festival, Holiday Celebration, and other events throughout the year) and number of webpage visits on the CSP website.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Amendment of Professional Services Agreement with Digital EMS Solutions Inc., to provide Electronic Patient Care Reporting System (ePCR) services to the Fire Department
1. Motion Authorizing the City Manager to amend the current agreement to extend the term and for the life of the software, so long as the funds have been approved in the annual budget plan (Contract No. C105518B) between Digital EMS Solutions Inc. and the City of Glendale for the renewal of ePCR services.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for November 28, 2023 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Maintaining ePCR services with Digital EMS Solutions Inc. remains the most cost- effective option currently. Seeking another vendor would require additional fees for training fire personnel, purchase of additional hardware, fees associated with billing company interface and costs for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) interface connectivity.
For these reasons staff recommends amending the current agreement (Contract No.
C105518B).

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an amendment extending the current agreement with Digital EMS Solutions Inc. for the provision of ePCR services to the Fire Department for the life of the software, so long as the funds have been approved in the annual budget plan.
ANALYSIS
The Glendale Fire Department and Glendale Information Technology Department (ITD) have found the Digital EMS Inc. system has streamlined our billing and revenue recovery timeline through the rapid processing of forms and easy to use drop down menu options.
Additional benefits we receive from this system include customized reporting and data extraction developed according to our request. This customization has enabled the EMS Section and Nurse Educator to customize training and quality assurance specific to individual personnel needs. The Digital EMS Solutions system has significantly reduced overall administrative hours required for billing, compilation, statistical performance analysis including fulfilling key performance indicators (KPI).
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH

FISCAL IMPACT
Annual maintenance, support, updates, upgrades, and licensing fees are based on a projected price per unit (PPU) and are adjusted upwards or downwards depending on the actual amount of patient care records incurred. Fees below include costs associated with faxing which is estimated to be $1,000 per year. Invoices are processed and paid for by Information Technology Department and amounts are cost allocated to the Fire Department EMS budget.
The amendment to the ePCR contract is estimated to cost $90,647, which was a part of the approved FY 23-24 Information Technology Department budget. No new appropriation is being requested at this time. The funds for continued maintenance, support, updates, upgrades, and licensing of the software for the life cycle of the product will continue to be annually budgeted within the ITD Applications Fund and requested to be approved as part of the annual citywide budget process. The City Council approved funding is outlined below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The extension of the existing contract with Digital EMS Solutions Inc. is exempt from environmental review because it can be seen with certainty that the award of a contract for ePCR services would not have any effect on the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Removal of Brick Façade at Fire Training Center Tower and Exterior Concrete Planter Boxes at Civic Center Parking Structure Project, Adopt Specification
1. Resolution adopting Specification No. 3970 for the Removal of Brick Façade at Fire Training Center Tower and Exterior Concrete Planter Boxes at Civic Center Parking Structure Project and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for November 28, 2023 Calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There is a current need to remove deteriorated concrete structures at the Fire Training Center and Civic Center Parking Structure. The intent of this item is to adopt project specification and advertise for concrete demolition at both facilities. These projects are necessary to mitigate hazardous conditions associated with the age of the structures and extent of the deterioration.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution Adopting Specification No. 3970 for the Removal of Brick Façade at Fire Training Center Tower and Exterior Concrete Planter Boxes at Civic Center Parking Structure Project and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
ANALYSIS
The Fire Training Center is located within the Public Works Corporate Yard at 541 W.
Chevy Chase. The four-story, concrete training tower was originally constructed in 1960, and has served the city well, providing valuable training opportunities for new recruits, veteran firefighters, and other agencies. The tower includes a brick façade on two sides that has been noticeably separating from the structure for the past several years and continues to get worse with time.
Unfortunately, there is no practical means of repairing the façade and it is now necessary to remove it completely. Once the façade is removed, the concrete tower will be cleaned up, repaired, painted, and new handrails will be installed where the façade previously made-up the handrail. It is anticipated that these improvements will enable the use of this 81 of 345

vital training element for many more years.
The Civic Center Parking Garage is located at 650 E. Wilson Avenue and was originally constructed in 1986. The three-story parking garage includes exterior concrete planter boxes on several levels. Due to the inaccessibility of these planters, they are extremely difficult to maintain and therefore they have not been in use for over 25 years. During the Northridge earthquake of 1994, two of these planter boxes became detached from the structure and one fell through the upper-level deck to the level below causing extensive damage to the structure and several vehicles.
Due to the lack of use, age of the structure, and potential for damage, it is recommended to remove all the 15 concrete planter boxes. In addition to the planter box removals, this project includes pressure washing the exterior of the structure, and patch and paint of the planter box attachment points to blend with the exterior walls. To ensure the safety of staff and public using the parking structure, all demolition work will be done on weekends.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
All work will be coordinated with associated departments to minimize impacts to operations, staff, and public.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The work for the Civic Center Parking Garage is already funded in the Parking Fund (2210). The work at the Fire Training Tower is unfunded so staff will request a resolution of appropriation from the Building Maintenance Fund (6070) to adequately fund this portion of the project during contract award.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
This project is Categorically Exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1, Section 15301.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not approve the resolution adopting specification for this project. Doing so many require all or a portion of these structures to be cordoned off to protect persons and property.
Alternative 2: Consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

ANALYSIS
The Public Works Department (PWD) received direction from the City Council to beautify the San Fernando Road corridor alongside the railroad tracks. This portion of San Fernando Road is also part of the remaining phase of the city’s planned capital improvements on San Fernando Road.
To accomplish this goal, PWD successfully applied for and received $5 million dollars in grant funds from the Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) for the beautification of San Fernando Road, with a strict deadline to complete construction by June 30, 2024.
Furthermore, to comply with the grant deadline, the project will be constructed in two phases, with the first phase located between Grandview Avenue and Elk Avenue, which runs parallel to the railroad, and the second phase located between Grandview Avenue and the City of Burbank jurisdictional limits, at Alameda Avenue.
As part of this project, new drought-tolerant, native landscaping will be planted on the west side of the roadway along the railroad tracks and will provide ground cover and beautify the blight of the railroad tracks. Upgraded sidewalks will be provided on the east side of the roadway, creating uninterrupted access, and providing greater areas for vegetation, increasing pervious surfaces, and reducing stormwater runoff to improve water quality. Additional improvements will include high visibility and creative crosswalks at intersections, upgraded bus stop amenities and bus shelter improvements, median islands with bioswale infrastructure between Grandview Avenue and Elk Avenue, drywells, curb bulb-outs, and improved Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps at roadway intersections. All project improvements will be located within city-owned public right-of-way on the western and eastern sides of San Fernando Road.
To proceed with project plan development, a Traffic Corridor Study (TCS) was conducted to study the existing conditions of the roadway segments to determine the feasibility of incorporating active transportation elements within the project implementation deadline. The TCS studied the feasibility of modifying travel lanes, implementing new bicycle facilities, and installing raised medians by conducting vehicle miles traveled (VMT), level of service (LOS) for intersection operations only, and parking utilization analyses. The study resulted in various design alternatives that were shared with the community and various stakeholders over multiple engagement events with the purpose of selecting a design alternative that could accomplish the project’s main goals and be able to be constructed within the constraints of the grant funding deadline.

The Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) adopted by City Council in 2012, recommends the installation of a Class I bicycle route that runs parallel to San Fernando Road in the railroad’s right-of-way, and outside of San Fernando Road. However, since the California High-Speed Rail Authority intends to use this same right-of-way, staff studied the feasibility of incorporating bicycle infrastructure outside of the railroad’s right-of-way.
The TCS developed alternatives for the potential installation of bicycle infrastructure along this route. By exploring these alternatives, aimed to find practical solutions that accommodate the needs of all roadway users, while enhancing safety and accessibility within the corridor, improving the function of the roadway, and minimizing adverse impacts to the businesses, residents, and neighborhoods that are served by the corridor.
Staff engaged the services of a professional engineering consultant, Mark Thomas and Company, Inc. (Mark Thomas), to assist with the preparation of the study. Mark Thomas and their subconsultants conducted a comprehensive study of the San Fernando Road corridor, considering the current traffic conditions, levels of cut-through traffic, roadway constraints, and parking utilization, and developed conceptual roadway alternatives for consideration. The study provided valuable insights and data to inform the decision- making process, ensuring that any improvements align with the city's goals for this project and the grant funding deadlines.
Based on the analysis and a comparison of various alternatives, an alternative was recommended by staff and the Transportation and Parking Commission, and subsequently approved by the City Council to be incorporated as part of the project.
This alternate included the installation of a dedicated bicycle lane in the southbound direction on San Fernando Road between Grandview Avenue and Elk Avenue, resulting in an improved active transportation facility, while also beautifying San Fernando Road, and preserving on-street parking.
Project Location
The project is located on San Fernando Road between Elk Avenue and Grandview Avenue. Land uses along the project consist of a mix of commercial facilities and warehouses with some retail/office use.
The project scope of work includes the following:
•Surface grinding and placement of approximately 1.6 centerline miles of asphalt rubber hot mix (ARHM).
•Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of approximately 2100 linear feet of damaged curbs and gutters, and 28,480 square feet of sidewalks, driveways, cross gutters, alley aprons, and bus pads.
•Construction of approximately 17,900 square feet of center median islands. •Modification and reconstruction of approximately 25 existing curb ramps to meet current ADA standards.
•Adjustment of existing manholes and water meters to finished grade. •Removal and replacement of existing traffic striping and pavement markings. 87 of 345

•Installation of 8,500 linear feet of new class II bicycle lane and 8,500 linear feet of new bicycle route (class III) with green shared roadway bicycle pavement markings (B-Type Sharrows).
•Improve 12 intersections with 15 curb extensions for pedestrian safety. •Planting of 120 new street trees.
•Planting of approximately 5,500 shrubs and groundcover plants. •Installation of six drywells.
•Installation of 21,000 square feet of bioswales.
•Bus stop improvements at three locations.
•Traffic signal modifications at the following intersections:
oSan Fernando Road and Colorado Street
oSan Fernando Road and Harvard Street
oSan Fernando Road and California Avenue
oSan Fernando Road and Highland Avenue
Pavement Rehabilitation
The project will also resurface the entire project corridor, which involves the rehabilitation of existing street pavement that has deteriorated beyond normal maintenance work. It typically consists of the removal of the top 2-inches of existing Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, followed by the placement of 2-inches of ARHM pavement wearing surface. This method of street resurfacing improves the ride of the roadway, and the structural integrity of the pavement, and begins a new service life for the street.
Intersection Realignments
As part of any major CIP project, PWD evaluates existing intersection conditions to identify pedestrian mobility and safety improvements. To take advantage of economies of scale, PWD includes realignment and improvements of previously identified deficient intersections to upcoming CIP projects.
Intersection realignments as part of this project include extending existing curb configurations, shortening crosswalk lengths, implementing all-way-stop controlled intersections, installation of new ADA-compliant curb ramps, and installation of new signing and striping.
Bicycle Facilities
Class II bicycle lane installation at the following location:
•Class II dedicated bicycle lane installation on southbound San Fernando Road between Highland Avenue and Elk Avenue;
•Green colored bicycle lane intersections treatments for southbound Class II dedicated bicycle lane, and
•Class III shared bicycle route with green colored shared roadway bicycle pavement markings (B-Type Sharrows) on northbound San Fernando Road between Highland Avenue and Elk Avenue.

Tree Plantings
A total of 120 new street trees will be planted in vacant locations and along the new proposed median island to infill the street canopy and expand the urban forest as part of this project along the entire project corridor on San Fernando Road between Highland Avenue and Elk Avenue.
Creative Crosswalks
PWD is working with the Library, Arts, and Culture Department, which will procure an artist through an RFP process to design the creative crosswalks throughout the project corridor. The designs will be approved by the Library, Arts, and Culture Commission, and then later, by the City Council, and ultimately be installed at the following intersections as part of this project:
•San Fernando Road and Colorado Street;
•San Fernando Road and Harvard Street;
•San Fernando Road and Wilson Street;
•San Fernando Road and California Avenue, and
•San Fernando Road and Highland Avenue.
ADA
The proposed project includes improvements that will comply with current Federal ADA guidelines.
Competitive Bidding Process
To successfully implement the project design and to ensure competitive bids, the city will advertise the project on multiple plan holders’ websites which publish project bidding documents, distribute the information to their extensive network of contractors, and construction industry contacts.
The project will also be advertised in a local newspaper, the Glendale Independent, prior to bid opening, as well as on Bidnet Direct, which is a web-enabled data service to the public sector, for the dissemination of the building and construction project proposals to their large number of member contractors and consultants. Finally, the project bidding documents will also be posted on the City’s website.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in January 2024 and is scheduled for completion by June 2024.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Prior to the application of CCLGP funds to beautify and improve the San Fernando Road corridor, a project-specific community engagement campaign was initiated to collect feedback on the project to further support the grant application. As part of the public information campaign, a factsheet was prepared that summarized key components of the project with a link to a brief online survey. This information was provided to the public through an email blast to stakeholder groups and posted on the city’s website and social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.). PWD also 89 of 345
64g

created a project webpage, which included a brief description of the project and renderings representing potential improvements for the corridor.
Furthermore, the San Fernando Road Beautification Project is an implementation step that was identified from public involvement obtained in completing the South Glendale Community Plan and supports the goals of other city planning efforts. Public engagement materials during the grant application process included a fact sheet that provided an overview of the project’s improvements and benefits. It also illustrated examples of several infrastructure elements like curb bulb-outs, planted medians, and sidewalk plantings. The fact sheet also included links to the project website and project survey.
The public showed strong support for the project due to the following expected benefits to the community:
•More livable communities;
•Improved safety for all users;
•More walking to improve public health;
•Increased transportation choices, and
•Greenhouse gas reduction and improved air quality.
After the successful receipt of grant funds and during the pre-design development phase of the project, stakeholder and public outreaches have included the development of a key stakeholder database, updated fact sheets, a dedicated project webpage and storymap, electronic surveys, city stakeholder briefings, door-to-door business and residential canvassing, and an in-person project community open house. All campaigns were further supported by Spanish and Armenian-speaking staff and included print materials in these languages.
•Email Campaign: The email ad campaign aimed to inform and engage the community about the upcoming project. Through a series of outreach events and an interactive online platform, our efforts provided opportunities for community members to learn about the project's goals, provide feedback, and share ideas.
The campaign successfully generated awareness and fostered active participation from the community, who expressed enthusiasm and eagerness about the project. The insights and feedback gathered were considered in the project's planning, ensuring a collaborative approach that reflects the community's needs. Five email campaigns were sent to more than 300 stakeholders between February and March of 2023.
•Postcard Mailers: Approximately 2,250 postcards were distributed to the impacted businesses and residents informing them of the project and the upcoming stakeholder efforts.

•Social Media Campaign: Various social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and the city webpage, were utilized to reach a wider audience and generate awareness about the project and its alternatives. •Community Engagement Workshop: An in-person public open house was organized to present the findings of the study and provide an opportunity for community members to ask questions, share concerns, and provide feedback.
This meeting was advertised well in advance, and the length of the meeting was increased for those who could make it earlier and to accommodate those who returned home from work later in the evening. The meeting was also held locally in the project neighborhood to make it more convenient for the immediately impacted stakeholders to attend.
•Stakeholder Outreach: Key stakeholders, including local businesses, community organizations, and neighborhood associations, as well as emergency responders such as the Glendale Police and Fire Departments were directly engaged in the outreach process. A dedicated meeting was arranged with the Glendale Fire Department to ensure their input and concerns were considered. •Online Survey-Project Awareness: Between February 17 to 28, 2023, an online survey was conducted to raise awareness about the project. As a result of this online survey, the top improvements requested by the community were identified. •Online Survey-Project Alternatives: After the development of the initial project alternatives, an online survey was conducted between March 30, 2023, and April 30, 2023, to receive public feedback on the proposed project alternatives. •Door-to-door Canvasing: Since the responses to the online survey represented a very small portion of the businesses along San Fernando Road, Staff decided to complete a door-to-door canvassing effort. The corridor was surveyed on multiple dates, with businesses surveyed on Wednesday, June 7th, and residents on Friday, June 9th, and Saturday, June 10th. The survey encompassed businesses along San Fernando Road from Elk Avenue to Grandview Avenue, as well as the adjacent side streets within an approximate 250-foot radius of San Fernando Road. The canvassed residential area was primarily in the Pelanconi Neighborhood, located north of Grange Avenue.
•PWD staff also held a coordination meeting with the Glendale Fire Department (GFD) and their input highlighted the critical need to balance the benefits of lane reconfiguration with the essential requirement of emergency services. GFD was supportive of any alternative that would not reduce travel lanes on San Fernando Road.
Transportation and Parking Commission (TPC)
On August 21, 2023, staff presented this project to the TPC. The project details were shared, including the bicycle facility alternatives, outreach efforts as of the TPC meeting 91 of 345

date, and next steps. Staff recommended the installation of Class III bicycle route with green-back sharrows in both directions along the project corridor because this alternative in the staff’s professional opinion, as well as the consultant’s opinion, achieved the project and grant goals, and is the immediate business and neighborhood community’s preference. This alternative also did not introduce an unprotected bicycle lane and did not limit northbound cyclist connectivity. However, based on the discussion and input received from the TPC, including the idea that having some bike lanes on this road is better than not having any, Alternative 2A, which includes the installation of a Class II bicycle lane in the southbound direction and a Class III bicycle route with green- backed sharrows in the northbound direction, was selected and recommended by the TPC.
City Council
On August 29, 2023, staff presented this project to the City Council. The project details were shared, including the bicycle facility alternatives, outreach efforts as of the City Council meeting date, and next steps. The City Council approved the motion to support the alternative proposed by City staff and approved by the TPC, which includes the installation of a Class II bicycle lane in the southbound direction and a Class III bicycle route with green-backed sharrows in the northbound direction.
Approximately one month before the commencement of the construction, staff will prepare a notification postcard containing essential project details including a link to the project website. This postcard will be sent by mail to the residences and businesses that will be affected by the construction. Additionally, the contractor will be responsible for distributing two distinct door hangers to the affected addresses. One set of door hangers will be provided two weeks prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area, while the second set will be distributed three days before construction begins.
Furthermore, outreach on this project continues to occur through a dedicated website for the project. The link to this website will be posted on all project outreach notifications such as project signs, postcards, and door hangers. The website page introduces the public to the project and to the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion, and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. The current Engineer’s estimate for the construction of this project is between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000, a portion of which was not included as part of the FY 2023-24 budget. Therefore, staff will be requesting for new appropriations or shifting of existing appropriations from other projects at the time of the contract award based on the bids received.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review because of CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301.

RECOMMENDATION
That the Council introduce and subsequently adopt an ordinance amending Section
9.25.050 of the Glendale Municipal Code pertaining to the exceptions to the ban on possession of firearms and ammunition on City property.
ANALYSIS
On March 19, 2013, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 5794 adopting Chapter 9.25 of the Glendale Municipal Code (“GMC”), 1995, Relating to the Possession and Sale of Firearms and Ammunition on City Property. In substance, Section 9.25.050 bans the possession and sale of firearms and ammunition on all City property, including but not limited to parks, playgrounds, open space, plazas, community centers, the Civic Auditorium, the Civic Center complex, City libraries, parking lots and parking structures.
Section 9.25.050 contains certain exemptions on the possession of firearms on City property such as by peace officers or retired police officer when authorized to carry a concealed weapon or loaded firearm in accordance with state or federal law, authorized military and law enforcement personnel, and authorized security guards of banks and armored vehicles.
On October 12, 2022, the California Rifle & Pistol Association (“CRPA”) filed suit in federal district court challenging Chapter 9.25 on the grounds that the ban on the possession of firearms and ammunition on City property violates the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, under standards enunciated by the U.S. Supreme Court in the recent case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, et al. (2022) 142 S. Ct. 2111 (“Bruen”). In Bruen, the Supreme Court struck down a New York law requiring “good cause” for the issuance of a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit. In doing so, the Court revised the way courts are to review firearm regulations. Under Bruen, courts determine whether the plain text of the Second Amendment protects the activities a law regulates. If it does, then “the government must affirmatively prove that its firearms regulation is part of the Nation’s historical tradition to set boundaries on gun use.” This means then that if a statute or ordinance is determined to burden an individual’s Second Amendment rights, the government’s burden is to demonstrate that there is a similar historical analogue supporting such a burden that represents a national tradition of firearm restriction.
While the Court found that regulations prohibiting the possession of firearms in “sensitive places” are rooted in the Nation’s history, not all places of public congregation have a historical analogue. Some places – such as schools, government buildings where government business is conducted, e.g. City Hall, legislative assemblies, polling places and courthouses have historical analogues justifying the possession of firearms at such locations. Consideration of other public properties requires a historical analysis to determine whether such locations have a historical analogue in our Nation’s history as “sensitive places” such that they may be restricted.
CRPA’s litigation challenges the City’s ban of possession on all City property, contending it is overbroad and that not all City properties qualify as “sensitive places.” After litigation over a preliminary injunction motion and settlement negotiations, the City has agreed to 103 of 345
37a

6 9
resolve this litigation by amending GMC Section 9.25.050 to revise the list of exemptions where possession of firearms and ammunition on City property may occur, subject to Council’s approval of the proposed ordinance. The proposed ordinance would add subdivision M to Section 9.25.050 to provide that the ban on the possession on the ban on firearms and ammunition on City properties does not apply to the following:
“M. Individuals with validly issued concealed carry weapon (“CCW”) permits as it pertains to possession on City-owned open spaces, parks, the Glendale Civic Auditorium, parking lots and playgrounds, but, as it pertains to playgrounds, only when the CCW permit holder is in the company of their minor children, or other children they are there to care for or supervise, at the playground. “Playground”, as used herein, shall mean, refer and relate to City property where a child play structure is present. Individuals with CCW permits not caring for or supervising children shall not be permitted to possess firearms or ammunition in a playground or within a fifty (50) foot radius surrounding a playground, however to the extent that the fifty (50) foot radius renders a surrounding park inaccessible, Section 9.25.040 shall not apply for the limited purpose of allowing such CCW permit holders access to the surrounding park. Nothing in this subdivision (M) shall be construed to authorize or permit conduct that violates any state law regarding the possession of firearms in or on local government property that is legally in effect.”
Possession of firearms and ammunition on all other City properties and facilities would remain prohibited under the proposed ordinance including the Civic Center campus, libraries, police and fire stations and facilities, public transit facilities, and community and recreation centers such as the Adult Recreation Center and Pacific Community Center. Where a park contains a community or recreation center, possession by a licensed CCW holder will be permitted on the park but not inside the community or recreation center building. In addition, the proposed ordinance will not affect the ban on the sale of firearms and ammunition on City-owned property.

9.25.060 Exceptions—Ban on sale.
9.25.010 Intent and legislative purpose.
A. This chapter’s purpose is to:
1. Protect public safety by protecting vulnerable populations—a high number of people who congregate at sensitive places such as city buildings, city playgrounds, city community centers, and other city public facilities;
2. Enable the public to visit the city’s properties, buildings, and facilities (“city properties”) without fear of endangerment from gun violence or accidental injuries; and
3. Prevent city properties from being used to subsidize activities that can endanger public safety and health.
B. To achieve these important and substantial governmental interests, the city council seeks to ensure that city properties:
1. Do not create any risk that the public and the city employees at those locations will suffer harm from gun violence or accidental injuries;
2. Do not draw individuals with firearms to sensitive public places;
3. Do not contribute to the continued, excessive proliferation of weapons and acquisition of firearms far beyond the numbers necessary to meet individuals’ use of firearms for self-defense or sporting purposes;
106 of 345
4. Are not used to facilitate the unlawful purchase of firearms by “straw” purchasers who act as fronts for ineligible purchasers of firearms;
5. Are operated in a manner that protects members of the public from the risk of grave bodily harm or death from gun violence, and accidental injury;
6. Are not used to increase the numbers of people who gain access to firearms to commit violent and unlawful acts, and to harm themselves or others, whether intentionally or by accident; and
7. Are not used to subsidize activities that can endanger public safety and health. (Ord. 5794, § 1, 3-19-2013)
9.25.020 Findings.
The city council finds, determines, and declares that:
A. The national and statewide statistical information available from numerous sources overwhelmingly demonstrates that the incidence of gunshot fatalities and injuries has reached alarming, and thus, unacceptable proportions, as the following examples show.
B. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control, in 2010 in the United States, guns took the lives of thirty-one thousand seventy-six (31,076) people in homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings. This is the equivalent of more than eighty-five (85) deaths each day and more than three (3) deaths each hour. In the same year, seventy-three thousand five hundred five (73,505) Americans were treated in hospital emergency departments for non-fatal gunshot wounds. In 2010, guns were used in eleven thousand seventy-eight (11,078) homicides in the United States, comprising almost thirty-five (35) percent of all gun deaths, and sixty-eight (68) percent of the sixteen thousand two hundred fifty-nine (16,259) homicides committed in the United States.
C. The United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, under the category of Firearms and Crime Statistics, reports that in 2010, four hundred fifteen thousand three (415,003) victims of violent crimes stated that they faced an offender with a firearm. In 2011, four hundred sixty-seven thousand three hundred twenty-one (467,321) victims of violent crimes stated that they faced an offender with a firearm.
D. The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research reports that young people in the United States are at risk for being both victims and perpetrators of firearm-related violence. In 2007, more than four thousand nine hundred (4,900) firearm-related homicide victims were age twenty-four (24) and younger. In this same age group, almost two thousand (2,000) adolescents and young adults committed suicide with a firearm.
E. The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research also reports that firearms are the most common weapon used in intimate partner homicides.
F. According to Death Statistics prepared by the California Department of Health, Center for Health Statistics, over the last decade (2000-2010), a total of eleven thousand six hundred seventy-five (11,675) Los Angeles County residents lost their lives due to firearm-related injuries. In 2010, two hundred eighty- one (281) suicides and five hundred two (502) homicides were due to firearms. 107 of 345
G. A notable increase in random acts of mayhem and violence using firearms has occurred throughout the United States, California, and Southern California:
1. On April 2, 2012, seven (7) people were killed and three (3) people injured in a mass shooting at Oikos University in Oakland, California.
2. On July 20, 2012, twelve (12) people were killed and fifty-eight (58) people were wounded at a mass shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
3. On December 14, 2012, twenty-seven (27) people, including twenty (20) children, were killed with a firearm during a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The perpetrator used a collection of firearms lawfully acquired by his mother to shoot her and the other victims.
4. On January 29, 2013, an innocent teenage bystander—who had sung in a choir at President Obama’s inauguration nine (9) days earlier—was shot and killed in a Chicago park in broad daylight by a youth who was aiming at someone else. These shootings of innocent bystanders are common throughout the nation and subject ordinary citizens and their families to serious risk of death and serious injury when using public facilities.
5. On February 3, 2013, a former officer of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) went on a systematic revenge rampage shooting, killing relatives of members of that police department. The shooter had a vendetta against the LAPD. Scarce police resources had to be devoted to protecting members of the LAPD who themselves were thereby diverted from performing critically important public safety duties. The pursuit of the suspect and the protection of the members of the public, as the shooter fled through multiple counties, consumed additional resources of police agencies throughout the region and terrorized numerous citizens, police officers, and their families.
6. On February 19, 2013, a 20 year-old part-time community college student in Tustin, California, shot to death a young woman in his Orange County home, and then he went on an early morning shooting spree, killing four (4) people and wounding others.
7. On February 26, 2013, two (2) police officers in Santa Cruz, California, were shot and killed while investigating a complaint of sexual assault. The perpetrator had lived and worked in several different California towns before locating to Santa Cruz a short time before the attack. The incident could have occurred in any of these towns, making it clear that no community is insulated from random firearms violence—which exacts a deadly and unpredictable toll not only on citizen victims, but also on the police officers charged with protecting them.
8. On February 26, 2013, one teenager fatally shot another teenage high school student on the grounds of an elementary school near San Leandro, California, when the victim allegedly refused to make good on a five-dollar ($5.00) bet.
108 of 345
H. Whenever guns and ammunition are present, even when they are being handled by knowledgeable and conscientious individuals, a danger of accidental shootings—causing injury or death —arises. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control, in 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of six hundred six (606) people. From 2005-2010, almost three thousand eight hundred (3,800) people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings. Over one thousand three hundred (1,300) victims of unintentional shootings for the period 2005-2010 were under twenty-five (25) years of age. These recent incidents illustrate the problem’s severity:
1. On January 19, 2013, at a “Gun Appreciation Day” gun show in Medina, Ohio, a 62 year-old man was shot in the arm when a firearms dealer accidentally discharged a gun he had purchased from an attendee. On the same day, at the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, a man accidentally shot his hand as he unloaded a firearm. Also on the same day, at the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in Raleigh, NC, three (3) people were injured when a 12-gauge shotgun filled with “bird shot” accidentally discharged.
2. On February 27, 2013, a public school employee in Van, Texas, was accidentally shot and wounded during a school district sponsored handgun safety class.
I. While government at all levels has a substantial interest in protecting the public from firearm related harm and death, local governments have the predominant obligation to do so. The city council, therefore, has a particular concern and responsibility to ensure that it protects public health and safety, especially of the public when on city properties.
J. The city owns and operates many different public facilities which are sensitive places widely patronized by the public, including seniors and children. In addition to buildings housing its officials and employees where the public must come to conduct business with the city, the city operates numerous public facilities that provide public services at those locations. The city has forty-seven (47) parks and recreation facilities which include four (4) community centers (two (2) senior centers and two (2) centers for all ages), one (1) golf course, three (3) soccer fields, and sixteen (16) ball fields. In addition, the city operates eight (8) public libraries, a youth center, and an emergency shelter. Locations such as these are where a large number of youth and adults congregate, making them appealing for someone intending to inflict a high number of casualties. The city also owns and operates nine (9) fire stations and numerous Glendale Water and Power facilities. The city has a critically important interest in protecting these users of its public facilities, and its employees, from gun violence and injuries.
K. The city also owns and operates the Glendale Civic which is used for many different civic events attended by the public. A thrice-yearly gun show there draws more than a thousand (1,000) people from the Southern California area. The civic auditorium not only is right across the street from another sensitive place— Glendale Community College which has sixteen thousand (16,000) students— but also is within one thousand (1,000) feet of College View School, a public school providing K-12 instruction to students with special needs operated by the Glendale Unified School District. The gun show attracts attendees who are allowed under state law to bring their own weapons to the gun show as long as the weapons are checked at the entrance. (Penal Code section 27340(b).) The city’s property could thus draw individuals who are more prone to have and use firearms, and thereby expose young, vulnerable K-12 and community college students to increased danger. 109 of 345
L. In addition, the city has been promoting and marketing a variety of other uses of the civic auditorium that are likely to be incompatible with its use for the gun shows—which occupy the civic auditorium’s upper floor and lower floor, virtually the entire facility.
M. The city council has authority over the management and control of city properties, and it may regulate, by ordinance, the manner in which the city’s properties are accessed and used by members of the public to ensure that city properties are not used in a way to create an additional risk of serious harm from firearms violence or accidental injury.
N. As of February, 2013, eighteen (18) federal firearms license holders are in the city, including one (1) pawnbroker, two (2) manufacturers, and fifteen (15) firearms dealers. Further, an additional nineteen (19) persons have federal firearms licenses, issued for collectors of curios and relics. These collectors are permitted to sell firearms. In total, thirty-seven (37) federal firearms license holders are in the city. Glendale has four (4) retail firearm stores.
O. Glendale has three (3) neighboring cities, all situated next to Glendale’s corporate limits:
1. In the City of Pasadena, as of February, 2013, there are five (5) federal firearms licenses issued to two (2) retail firearms dealers and three (3) pawnbrokers dealing in firearms. Pasadena has five (5) retail firearm stores.
2. In the City of Burbank, as of February, 2013, there are thirteen (13) federal firearms licenses issued to eleven (11) firearms dealers and two (2) to manufacturers. Burbank has five (5) retail firearm stores.
3. In the City of Los Angeles, as of March, 2013, there are eighteen (18) retail firearm stores.
P. In Los Angeles County, three hundred sixty-one (361) federal firearms licenses have been issued, in addition to eight hundred fifty-seven (857) federal firearms licenses that have been issued to collectors of curios and relics.
Q. Accordingly, given the number of federal firearm license holders authorized to sell firearms and ammunition in neighboring cities and in Los Angeles County, residents of Glendale have a wealth of opportunities to view and purchase firearms for self-defense or for sporting purposes, and the city’s preclusion of such opportunities at a thrice-yearly gun show conducted at the city’s civic auditorium has a de minimis effect on the ability to purchase firearms for those purposes. Many of the dealers at the Glendale Civic Auditorium gun show are from the Southern California region already.
R. Prohibiting the possession or sale of firearms, or ammunition, or both, on city properties will have the following beneficial effects, among others:
1. It will enhance public health and safety by contributing to the reduction in the presence of firearms and the potential for gunshot fatalities and injuries on city property;
2. It will increase the confidence of members of the public that they are not at risk of injury from firearms when they seek to use city properties; and
110 of 345
3. It will help to ensure the safety of the general public and specifically children, who are among the most vulnerable in our society.
S. The California Supreme Court has ruled that state law does not preempt local laws banning the possession and sale of firearms and ammunition on local government’s property. In Nordyke v. King (2002) 27 Cal.4th 875, the Supreme Court upheld an Alameda County ordinance banning the possession of firearms and ammunition on county owned property and in Great Western Shows, Inc. v.
County of Los Angeles (2002) 27 Cal.4th 853, the Supreme Court upheld a Los Angeles County ordinance prohibiting all sales of firearms and ammunition on county property. These rulings uphold the city council’s legal ability to ban the possession and sale of firearms and ammunition on city properties.
T. Prohibiting the sale or possession of firearms and ammunition on city properties does not burden the rights of persons to engage in self-defense or sporting activities and does not prevent persons from purchasing firearms at retail outlets in the city and throughout the region.
U. For the foregoing reasons, the city council, in its proprietary capacity, wishes to keep city properties free from firearms and ammunition, including the purchase and sale of guns and ammunition, with the exceptions set forth in sections 9.25.050 and 9.25.060 of this chapter.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: 2023 Electric Rates Cost of Service Analysis (COSA).
1. Ordinance Establishing Electric Rates for Glendale Water and Power Customers.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for November 14, 2023 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Glendale Water and Power’s (GWP) last electric rate increases for Glendale customers was implemented five years ago in 2018. During the recent budget planning process and cost of service analysis, GWP staff has determined that the projections showed that the revenues collected from the current electric rates will not be sufficient to fully recover the cost of service provided to the customers by the electric operations and fund the necessary capital improvements. The primary causes of the deficits are the increasing cost of wholesale purchased power; materials, equipment, and labor; variable fuel prices; decline in revenues; renewable energy projects; and other inflationary factors such as higher interest rates for debt service.
GWP is proposing two electric rate increase options for City Council to consider.
Option 1 is a three-year increase averaging 14.8%, 11.3% and 11.3% that will take effect January 1, 2024, July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025. Option 2 is a four-year increase averaging 13.6%, 9%, 9% and 9% that will take effect January 1, 2024, July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026; respectively. The rate adjustments will fund the Grayson Repowering Project, as well as provide partial funding for the Scholl Canyon Biogas Renewable Generation Project, City Solar projects, Glendale’s commitment to building and fleet electrification, and to cover the general increases in costs of, wholesale purchased power, renewable energy projects, and fuel.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt Option 1 of the proposed rate plans as it represents the lowest total increase to customers and the lowest debt service of the two options. Approval of these rate increases ensures that the utility’s financial obligations are sufficiently met so as to allow the utility to issue bonds to fund the approved capital projects, and to implement adjustments in equity in the individual rate classifications per Proposition 26 requirements.

Adoption of either option will enable the issuance of bonds in three tranches reasonably coinciding with the electric rate adoption schedule. Currently, bond rates for the adoption period are expected to fall within the range of 4.5% - 5.5%. Staff will be returning to Council for authorization of the issuance of bonds in the near future.
Analysis
There are two components in GWP electric rate structure: a base rate component and the adjustment components. The base rate is designed to recover the direct and indirect costs of providing the infrastructure to serve local customers. Such costs include, but are not limited to, those associated with the purchase of power, with transmission and distribution, with customer service, and with administration. The base rate should also include a reasonable rate of return (RoR) on investments. The RoR is to effectuate a transfer to the City's General Fund, to establish sufficient reserves for ongoing capital improvement projects that ensure the reliability and integrity of the system’s infrastructure, and to upgrade the generation assets to improve the cost structure and competitiveness of the energy resources. The base rate structure is designed through a cost-of-service study that equitably associates the rates to the costs of providing electric services to various customer classes.
The cost adjustment charges are used to manage the difference between projected costs in the most recent COSA and actual costs for specific GWP accounts, market conditions, and/or regulatory impacts. The GWP electric rates have three cost adjustment charges:
•Regulatory Adjustment Charge (RAC) - adjusts for the variances from projected regulatory compliance costs and the actual costs.
•Energy Cost Adjustment Charge (ECAC) - adjusts for the variations from the projected costs of fuel and purchased power and the actual costs. •Revenue Decoupling Charge (RDC) - adjusts for the differences between actual and projected sales volumes.
The cost adjustment charges are adjusted administratively every six months based upon a City Council adopted formula that is fixed in the Electric Rate Ordinance.
The cost adjustment charges have increased over the years to account for the significantly lower electric sales and higher natural gas and power purchase costs than were projected in the 2018 COSA.
Recent Financial Performance of the Electric Retail Operations Total retail revenue is made up of two components, the rates charged, and the volume sold. The electric retail consumption has declined 4.8% from fiscal year 2017-2018 compared to fiscal year 2022-2023. Over time, however, the cost to service the customers has grown. The net impact is reflected in the declining net profits as shown in the table below. Assuming the same revenue base with no rate changes or insufficient rate increases, it is projected that the retail operations will continue to experience net losses.

GWP is proposing to increase the rates currently charged for electric service. GWP’s electric rates were last increased in 2018 which published a five-year electric rate plan for GWP customers covering fiscal year 2019 through 2023.
Since 2018, there have been significant changes, new mandates, new investments, and approved projects which necessitated a new Electric cost of service analysis (COSA) to keep the utility financially stable over the next three to five years for the period of fiscal year 2024 through fiscal year 2028.
On July 1, 2019, GWP entered into a Professional Services Agreement with NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC. to provide an electric cost of service analysis to calculate the electric rates needed to support the Grayson Repower Project, the Scholl Biogas Renewable Generation project, GWP’s Solar Design Built program and other annual capital improvement projects, such as the 4kV to 12 kV distribution system upgrades.
The table below shows the results of the COSA. In order to meet the debt coverage ratio of 1.1x, the electric utility needs to increase the rates an average of 14.8% in year one, and increase the rates an average of 11.3% in years two and three. The debt service coverage of 1.1x is the minimum coverage allowed for the utility in the bond covenants. The first year increase will also allow the utility to increase its cash reserves above the required 300 days cash on hand. Having sufficient cash reserves on hand is recommended by the rating agencies and results in a higher bond rating.
NewGen has calculated GWP’s revenue requirements and has presented two options for City Council’s consideration. Option 1 is a series of average increases over a three- year period of 14.8%, 11.3% and 11.3% effective January 1, 2024, July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025; respectively. The total compounded average rate for Option 1 is 42.2%.
The average increases for the specific customer classes are shown in the table on next page.

Option 2 is a series of average increases over a four-year period of 13.6%, 9%, 9% and 9% effective January 1, 2024, July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026; respectively. The total compounded average rate for Option 2 is 47.1%, which is 4.9% higher than Option 1. This is one of the reasons why staff does not recommend Option
2. The average increases for the specific customer classes are shown in the table below.
The rate adjustments will ensure the electric utility has sufficient funds to pay the debt service on the bonds that will be issued over the next three years.
Bond funding to be used for the Grayson Repowering:
The Grayson Repowering Project is underway. City Council authorized the contract for the demolition which is currently in progress. Also, in December 2022, Council authorized the purchase of three Wartsila engines and associated power island equipment and facilities in the not-to-exceed amount of $170,000,000 subject to City Council’s authorization for financing. Staff has further negotiated the the Wartsila engines procurement contract at a lesser amount which is being presented to the City Council for approval in a separate report dated November 14, 2023.
Bond funding to be used for the Biogas Renewable Generation Project:
The Biogas Renewable Generation Project which is currently underway with construction set to commence within the next few weeks. A portion of the anticipated bond financing will be utilized for the Biogas Renewable Generation Project including the purchase of the equipment for the project facilities.
Solar Projects on City Facilities:
The City Council is being presented with a separate Report from the General Manager of GWP, also dated November 14, 2023, for six proposed solar projects at City owned facilities. Bond funding will be used for these projects.

Rate Increases – A Critical Path:
The proposed electric rate increases is necessary to support the City in the issuance of the bonds for the Council requested Solar Projects, and to complete the Biogas and the Grayson Repower Projects (Projects). Without the rate increases the City will not qualify for the rating required to issue the bonds; the bonds are necessary to complete the Projects and will not be issued without the revenue to support the bond payments.
Without the rate increases and without the bonds the Projectswill not be built, and GWP and certain City functions will be jeapordized. The consequential impacts on the City would be real, significant and long-lasting. These include, but are not limited to, •Inability to supply the City’s electric load
•Lack of reserve capacity to serve electric load into the future •Inability to fund renewable projects, or invest in or participate in renewable projects based on GWP revenue
•Inability to meet projected 2035 and other renewable portfolio goals/standards •Inability to complete GWP Fund Transfer and commensurate impacts on City Services.
•Breach of statutory and contractural obligations to FERC, State of California,
SCPPA, BAASA
•Increases in rates well beyond the current rate increase requested due to the need to purchase additional transmission capacity (if possible), and need to obtain supply from private or public generators overwhich City does not have control.
•Potential loss of Glendale publicly owned utility due to lack of revenue •Existing contract termination damages
•Potential to be assessed fines by Federal regulators (FERC)
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
GWP held three community meetings on October 18th, 19th and 25th, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
Option 1 will increase the revenues by approximately $108 million over the next three years. Option 2 will increase the revenues by approximately $113 million over the next four years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
In 2023, NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC (NewGen) was retained by Glendale Water and Power (GWP) to perform an Electric Cost of Servic e (COS) and Rate Design Study (Study). As part of this Study, NewGen’s Project Team (Project Team) developed a five- year financial forecast including revenue requirements, expected debt issuances, and rate changes from fiscal year (FY) 20 24 through FY 202 8 (Study Period). The goal was to evaluate and identify the optimal combination of debt and rate (i.e., cash) funded portions of the capital program while maintaining financial stability over the five -year planning period.
This report contains five sections as follows:
Section 1 – Provides an introduction and brief background. Section 2 – Discusses the development of the revenue requirement. Section 3 – Provides the COS results.
Section 4 – Presents the proposed electric rates.
Section 5 – Summarizes conclusions and recommendations.
Utility Description
GWP is a municipal utility that provides electric and water service to the community of Glendale, California. GWP is governed by the City Council with input from t he GWP Commission . The GWP Commission is an advisory commission that provides recommendations to the City Council regarding changes in policy, improvements to the system, and financing of improvements. The GWP Commission’s five members are appointed and serve a four-year term with a three-term limit. GWP’s last Electric Utility Rate Study was presented to the City Council in 2018 and rate increases were approved for each year from 2019 through 2023.
The Electric Utility is projected to serve an average of 90,565 retail electric customers with average annual retail sales of 979,104 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity during the Test Year, or on average over the Study Period.
The Electric Utility provides power to their customers through a combination of GWP-owned generation, purchase power contracts, and market purchases. Currently, GWP operates the Grayson Power Plant and plans to repower the plant, upgrading from boilers and steam turbines to W ärtsilä internal combustion engines and a large battery. GWP also has various purchase power contracts for renewable energy. As of 2022, GWP’s power supply was 35.3% renewable.
1 GWP has a goal of 50% renewable resources by
2030.
The Electric Utility transmission system consists of approximately 57 miles of 34 kilovolt (kV) and 69 kV line, of which 27 miles is underground. The Electric Utility distribution system consists of approximately 503 miles of line, of which approximately 50% is underground.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2 GWP Rate Study Final Report
Cost of Service and Rate Design Process Overview
The COS and rate design process includes five steps as follows:
1. Determination of the Revenue Requirement – This first step examines the utility’s financial needs and determines the amount of revenue that must be generated from rates. For municipal utilities, the revenue requirement is determined on a “cash basis.” A “cash basis” analysis examines the cash obligations of the utility such as operations and maintenance ( O&M) expenses, debt service, cash funded capital projects, and City Transfers. Rates are set such that the utility can pay its bills on an annual going-forward basis.
In preparing our analysis of the electric rates and developing the revenue requirement, NewGen relied upon GWP’s historical audited data, the 2024 Budget, records of operation, customer billing data, and other detailed information and data compiled and provided by GWP’s management and staff.
2. Functionalization and Sub-functionalization of Costs – The revenue requirement is then assigned to the particular function or sub -function of the utility. Electric utilities like GWP typically have power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Power Supply sub-functions may include utility-owned generation or purchased power from contracts or the market. Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc.
Customer sub-functions include billing and collections, customer service, meter reading, etc.
3. Classification of Costs – Once costs are functionalized, they are then classified based on their underlying nature. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Fu rther, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand, energy, and customer service needs.
4. Allocation of Costs – Once costs are classified, they are then allocated to the various customer classes.
Allocation factors align with cost classification. Therefore, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system coincident peak (CP). Energy allocation factors are based on the amount of energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on the number of customers.
These first four steps in the COS process are depicted in the figure below.

5. Rate Design – The fifth and final step is rate design, which translates COS results into rates for each customer class.
Revenue Requirement
NewGen utilized the 2022 actual expenses account detail provided by GWP to develop the base year for the financial forecast model and subsequent projections. The 20 22 Expenses were used to project the 2023 year-end totals, then projected for the Study Period 2024 through 2028. After review and discussion with GWP staff, the Project Team adjusted the 20 22 Expenses data to account for any unusual or one - time expenses. Projected non-recurring expenses or revenues were identified and incorporated in the financial forecast, as appropriate. A key input to the financial forecast model was the power supply cost projections provided by GWP and Ascend Analytics. Power supply represents the majority of the total costs to provide electric service to retail customers.
Based on the financial forecast model, NewGen developed a Test Year Revenue Requirement. The Test Year Revenue Requirement reflects GWP ’s total cost of providing electric utility services to various rate classes that must be recovered through retail rate revenues. The Test Year Revenue Requirement was calculated by developing an average of GWP’s Electric Utility costs for the Study Period. Based on the Test Year, NewGen calculated the difference between the projected revenues and revenue requirements over the Study Period. Table ES-1 summarizes the forecasted operating expenses and revenue requirements for the Electric Utility over the Study Period. The Test Year Revenue Requirement of $306,802,972 is the five-year average of the annual revenue requirements and is shown in Table ES-1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
4 GWP Rate Study Final Report
NewGen has included the contribution to GWP’s cash reserves to increase the Test Year Revenue Requirement in Table ES -1. The purpose of this contribution is to meet GWP reserve and deb t service coverage policies. The Test Year projected revenues are under collecting by approximately 33.3%.
If GWP does not institute rate increases, there will not be sufficient funds to maintain operations and fund the repowering of the Grayson facility.
Cost of Service Results
The COS analysis translates the Electric Utility ’s Test Year Revenue Requirement of $ 306,802,972 into a revenue requirement by customer class. The Test Year Revenue Requirement is functionalized or “unbundled” into four functions of the system ( i.e., Power Supply, Transmission, Distribution, and Customer Service), then classified as customer-, demand-, or energy-related, and finally allocated to each of the customer classes as shown in Table ES-2. The result provides a COS revenue requirement for each customer class, which are then compared to the projected revenues for the Study Period to determine the class rate changes.

(2) Rate revenue represents the projected five-year average rate revenues for the Electric Utility under current rates. (3) Assumes Energy Cost Adjustment Charge (ECAC), Regulatory Adjustment Charge (RAC), and the Revenue Decoupling Charge (RDC) rates of $0.00 per kWh.
As shown in Table ES-2, overall COS analysis forecasts a 33.3% rate increase to meet the Electric Utility’s revenue requirements. In addition, when evaluated on a customer basis, rate adjustments are required to ensure that each customer is appropriately charged based on their impact to the system.
Based on the financial forecast and COS results, GWP decided to support their revenue requirement needs with a combination of rate increases, bond issuances, and use of reserves. GWP set annual retail revenue increases of 14.8% for FY 2024, 11.3% for FY 2025, 11.3% for FY 2026, 0.0% for FY 2027, and 0.0% for FY 2028. These rate increases are necessary to maintain the reserve fund balance at adequate levels.
With GWP’s rate increases, the ending balance in FY 202 8 increases from the estimated $ 208 million to $217 million, equivalent to 295 days cash on hand. The cash reserve balances resulting from the proposed rate increases are adequate based on industry practices and provide GWP flexibility and financial stability in supporting future operating and capital needs . The reserves also provide GWP with the flexibility to address changes in construction, schedule, and financing related costs (e.g., the debt interest rates) for 138 of 345

GWP Rate Study Final Report 5
the proposed Grayson repowering project, as it is currently forecast. In addition, these cash reserves are utilized for multiple purposes at the utility, such as working capital, rate stabilization ( i.e., reducing rate volatility and impacts), and capital improvements.
Rate Design
Rate design includes proposed rates to collect the additional revenue goals. The GWP revenue increases were not applied equally to each customer class, as the COS results support a higher rate increase for Residential and Small Business customers in order to gradually align those rates with the COS. NewGen recommends an increase in Residential rates of 18.6% in year 1 and 14% in years 2 and 3 to align rates more closely with the COS results over the three-year period.
Based on the forecasted expenses to operate the Electric Utility from FY 2024 through FY 2028, NewGen recommends rate adjustments over three phases rather than five to align with the proposed Grayson repowering schedule and to maintain financial metrics . Table ES -3 shows the revenues for each phase based on projected load. The load growth was provided by GWP and averages 0. 8% per year. The total revenues reflect rate increases and load growth. If the load growth is removed, the increases in annual revenues are in line with the recommended rate changes. The results of the gradual rate change and revenue generated in each phase are provided in Table ES-3.

4 and 5. The rate increases outlined in Table ES-3 are largely due to increasing power supply costs and capital needs of the Electric Utility. The capital needs outlined in GWP’s Electric Utility Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) total approximately $723 million for the Study Period. Ultimately, an increase in electric rates is necessary to ensure that GWP has sufficient financial resources to cover the cost of providing service and to fund the needed capital improvements.

INTRODUCTION
In 2023, NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC (NewGen) was retained by Glendale Water and Power (GWP) to perform an Electric Cost of Service (COS) and Rate Design Study (Study). As part of this Study, GWP requested that NewGen’s Project Team (Project Team) forecast revenue requirements and rates from Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 through FY 2028 (Study Period). GWP’s FY runs from July 1 through June 30.
All data contained in this report represents the GWP FY unless otherwise stated. This report describes the analysis performed for the Electric Utility and makes projections of the rates charged to the electric customers. This report consists of five sections and an Executive Summary.
Following the Executive Summary, this section provides the introduction for the Study. Section 2 discusses the development of the revenue requirement through FY 2028. Section 3 discusses the COS process and the resulting revenue requirement by customer class. Section 4 discusses the recommended rates required to recover the estimated revenue requirement. Section 5 provides our conclusions and recommendations.
Regular reviews of the performance of a utility’s rates are an integral part of any utility’s manag ement, and failure to monitor the Electric Utility’s rates can result in the need for significant rate actions. Our Project Team recommends that, going forward, GWP continue to regularly monitor and review the performance of their adopted rates and perform rate adjustments in a timely manner to preserve the financial integrity of the Electric Utility.
The analysis performed by NewGen was designed to consider foreseeable, known, and measurable adjustments during the Study Period. The goal was to construct a financial planning tool for GWP to gain an understanding of the key issues and required rate, debt, and capital decisions facing the Electric Utility over the Study Period. A critical benefit of the financial planning tool is the ability to quantify the impacts of decisions made today regarding debt issuances and rate changes required in the future. As with any forecast, assumptions were made and GWP should note that the actual expenses and revenues generated each year may differ from the projected expenses and revenues outlined in this report due to unforeseen changes such as system growth, inflation, etc.
Background
GWP is a municipal utility that provides electric and water service to the community of Glendale, California. GWP is governed by the City Council with input from the GWP Commission. The GWP Commission is an advisory commission that provides recommendations to the City Council regarding changes in policy, improvements to the system, and financing of improvements. The GWP Commission’s five members are appointed and serve a four-year term with a three-term limit. GWP’s last Electric Utility Rate Study was presented to the City Council in 2018 and rate increases were approved for each year from 2019 through 2023.
The Electric Utility is projected to serve an average of 90,565 retail electric customers with average annual retail sales of 979,104 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity during the Test Year, or on average over the Study Period.

1-2 GWP Rate Study Final Report
The Electric Utility provides power to their customers through a combination of GWP-owned generation, purchase power contracts, and market purchases. Currently, GWP operates the Grayson Power Plant and plans to repower the plant, upgrading from boilers an d steam turbines to Wärtsilä internal combustion engines and a large battery. GWP also has various purchase power contracts for renewable energy. As of 2022, GWP ’s power supply was 35.3% renewable .2 GWP has a goal of 50% renewable resources by 2030.
GWP’s capital plan includes the proposed repowering of the Grayson Power Plant for approximately $514 million. This project would be funded entirely by debt.
The Electric Utility transmission system consists of approximately 57 miles of 34 kilovolt (kV) and 69 kV line, of which 27 miles is underground. The Electric Utility distribution system consists of approximately 503 miles of line, of which approximately 50% is underground.
Cost of Service and Rate Design Process Overview
The COS and rate design process includes five steps as follows:
1. Determination of the Revenue Requirement – This first step examines the utility’s financial needs and determines the amount of revenue that must be generated from rates. For municipal utilities, the revenue requirement is determined on a “cash basis.” A “cash basis” analysis examines the cash obligations of the utility such as operations and maintenance ( O&M) expenses, debt service, cash funded capital projects, and City Transfers. Rates are set such that the utility can pay its bills on an annual going-forward basis.
2. Functionalization and Sub-functionalization of Costs – The revenue requirement is then assigned to the particular function or sub -function of the utility. Electric utilities like GWP typically have power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Power Supply sub-functions may include utility-owned generation or purchased power from contracts or the market. Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc.
Customer sub-functions include billing and collections, customer service, meter reading, etc.
3. Classification of Costs – Once costs are functionalized, they are then classified based on their underlying nature. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Fu rther, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand, energy, and customer service needs.
4. Allocation of Costs – Once costs are classified, they are then allocated to the various customer classes.
Allocation factors align with cost classification. Therefore, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system coincident peak (CP). Energy allocation factors are based on the amount of energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on the number of customers.

REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
Developing the Test Year Revenue Requirement is the first step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 1-1. The Test Year Revenue Requirement for the Electric Utility was based on the average expenses for the Study Period with adjustments for unusual or one -time expenses, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), existing debt amortization schedules, projected debt issuances, and forecasted escalation assumptions and factors. NewGen developed a five-year financial forecast for the Study Period. The average revenue requirement for the five-year Study Period was used as the Test Year Revenue Requirement and represented all costs that must be recovered through the Electric Utility’s rates. The Test Year Revenue Requirement serves as a basis for determining the overall level of revenue recovery and provides a foundation for the COS analysis.
Financial Forecast
The financial forecast includes projections of revenues, expenses, capital spending, debt service , and changes in reserves over the five-year Study Period (FY 2024–FY 2028). To develop the financial forecast, NewGen utilized GWP ’s 2022 actual expenses , the 20 23 Budget, load forecast documents, records of operations, customer billing data, and other detailed information and data compiled and provided by GWP’s management and staff. GWP provided the 2022 actual expenses which were used as the base year in the financial forecast. After review and discussion with GWP staff, the Project Team adjusted the 2022 totals to account for any known and measurable or one -time expenses. Any projected non -recurring expenses or revenues are identified and incorporated in the financial forecast, as appropriate.
To forecast expenses through FY 202 8, NewGen used multiple escalation and forecast factors. Specific inflation and customer growth rates were applied to the baseline FY 2023 projected year-end data.
Projected Energy Requirements
The Electric Utility’s forecasted electric consumption is a key driver in projections of expenses and revenues. The load forecast was developed by a separate consultant as part of a compliance filing required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The forecasted retail electric consumption includes an annual energy growth rate of less than 1% which reflects sales to GWP’s retail customers.

Operations and Maintenance Expenses
The first step in developing the revenue requirement forecast was the creation of the base year O&M expenses. GWP’S historical data and 2023 Budget provide Electric Utility O&M expenses based on five Electric Works Revenue Funds. In discussions with GWP management, NewGen selected the detailed FY 2023 Budget as the base year in the financial forecast for projections of O&M expenses.
Based on the FY 2023 Budget from GWP, NewGen forecast the O&M costs for the Study Period. In addition to the projected other expenses/revenues (including interest income, capital contributions, miscellaneous revenues and sales to other utilities) , CIP, debt service projections, and City Transfer, t hese forecasted O&M expenses supported the development of the Test Year Revenue Requirement. The Test Year Revenue Requirement for the Study Period includes all costs required to operate the utility and ensure financial stability for the Electric Utility.

Power Supply Expenses
Power Supply expenses are the largest portion of the total O&M expenses and are associated with take or pay contracts ( i.e., Intermountain Power Plant, Magnolia Power Plan t, and Tieton Hydropower), purchased power agreements (i.e., Hoover Hydropower, High Winds Solano, and Skylar Renewable), and spot market purchases to balance GWP’s needs to meet load. The majority of the power supply costs forecast and used in the Study were provided by Ascend Analytics and reviewed by GWP. Additional power supply expenses include fuel costs for GWP-owned generation plants, labor, and other supporting O&M accounts. The tables below summarize the total power supply expenses.

Non-Power Supply Expenses
Non-power supply expense accounts, as seen in Table 2 -2 (i.e., Administration, Customer Services, and Utility Finance) were forecast to increase at various inflation rates.
Transfer to the City General Fund (City Transfer)
The City Transfer is defined by the City Charter, Article XI, Section 22, which provides:
At the end of each fiscal year an amount equal to twenty -five (25) percent of the operating revenues of the department of Glendale Water and Power for such year, excluding receipts from water or power supplied to other cities or utilities at wholesale rates, shall be transferred from said Glendale Water and Power surplus fund to the general reserve fund; provided, that the council may annually, at or before the time for adopting the general budget for t he ensuing fiscal year, reduce said amount or wholly waive such transfer if, in its opinion, such reduction or waver is necessary to ensure the sound financial position of said department of Glendale Water and Power and it shall so declare by resolution.
In the financial forecast and Test Year Revenue Requirement, the City Transfer forecast was provided by GWP.
Debt Service
The debt service represents existing and projected debt service. The existing debt service within the Study Period and Test Year Revenue Requirement includes the 2013 Refunding Bond and 2016 Refunding Bond amortization schedules as provided by GWP.
There were several scenarios considered for issuing new debt. The primary driver of new debt is the repowering of the Grayson Power Plant. The following scenarios were considered.
1. One issuance of $600 million in 2024. $34.0 million average annual debt service.
2. Two issuances of $300 million in 2024 and 2025. $29.0 million average annual debt service.
3. Three issuances of $200 million in 2024, 2025, and 2026. $26.0 million average annual debt service.
4. One issuance of $500 million in 2024. $27.2 million average annual debt service.
5. Three issuances of $166 million in 2024, 2025, and 2026. $21.5 million average annual debt service.
6. Three issuances: $140 million in 2024, $170 million in 2025, and $190 million in 2026. $20.3 million average annual debt service.
Ultimately, GWP decided that $500 million in total debt issuances would be sufficient with expected cash reserves to fund the repowered Grayson Power Plant . The fifth scenario with three issuances of $166 million in 2024, 2025, and 2026 was selected to allow for timely payments to contractors for the Grayson repowering project while also delaying some of the debt service cost impacts and allowing GWP to meet metrics required of the bond such as net income and debt service coverage. The bond issuance for the repowered Grayson Power Plant includes an additional refunding on the 2013 Electric Revenue Bond .
Table 2-5 summarizes the projected debt service for the Electric Utility under the fifth scenario. 148 of 345

Capital Paid from Current Earnings
The Electric Utility capital expenses are identified within the 2023 Budget five-year CIP. The utility utilizes a combination of debt , cash from rate revenues , and cash reserves to finance the capital expenses and upgrades. The proposed debt issuance would fund the Grayson repowering project. The remaining CIP is funded from rate revenues and cash reserves. If the rates are not adjusted, cash reserves must be used to fund a large portion of the annual CIP over the Study Period. The average annual amount of capital expenses funded from current earnings, rate revenues, or cash reserves included in the Test Year Revenue 149 of 345

This transfer is represented by a cash inflow to capital from current earnings in FY 2024.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income and expenses represent miscellaneous non -operating revenues or expenses and net $16 million (net revenues) in the Test Year. This amount reflects non-operating revenues, which include sales to other utilities, interest income, and miscellaneous revenues (e.g., late fees, connection fees, etc.).
These net revenues of $16 million reduce the overall Test Year Revenue Requirement.
Revenue Requirement
There are two primary revenue requirement methodologies employed in the utility industry : the cash basis and the utility basis. The primary differences between the cash basis and the utility basis involve the treatment of depreciation, return on invested capital, and debt service. The cash basis, which is the most common method used by municipalities, includes debt service but excludes depreciation and return on invested capital in the revenue requirement determination. The cash basis focuses on meeting the cash demands of the utility. The utility basis most commonly used by private or for-profit utilities includes depreciation and return on invested capital but excludes debt service from the revenue requirement determination.
In this COS analysis, the Project Team utilized the cash basis, as it follows the traditional cash -oriented budgeting practices frequently used by government entities. In addition, the cash basis is generally easier to explain to customers since it attempts to match revenue and expenditures.
NewGen developed the Test Year Revenue Requirement for the five-year Study Period including all costs required to operate the utility and ensure its financial stability. The revenue requirements for each year of the Study Period are shown below. The Test Year Revenue Requirement of $306,802,972 is the five- year average of the annual revenue requirements and is shown in Table 2 -8. The current rates do not adequately recover the total operating and capital costs by approximately $76.7 million per year.

NewGen has included the contribution to GWP’s cash reserves to increase the Test Year Revenue Requirement shown in Table 2 -8. The purpose of this contribution is to meet GWP reserve and debt service coverage requirements and policies.
Reserves
Unrestricted cash reserves by GWP are used to provide working capital, fund capital projects, mitigate market or price volatility risks to customers, and manage the cash flow of the utility. The annual balance and contributions/use of reserves if GWP does not adjust base rates are shown in Table 2-9.
As shown in Table 2-8, the Test Year projected revenues are under collecting by approximately 33.3%. If GWP does not institute rate increases, the estimated annual $ 76.7 million shortage will be taken from reserves, drawing down the cash reserve balance. The estimated reserve balance as of July 1, 20 23, is $209 million or 28 7 days of cash on hand. Without any rate increases, the cash reserve balance of $209 million will decrease by $355 million over the Study Period to negative $146 million.

The cash reserve balances resulting from the p roposed systemwide rate increases are adequate based on industry practices and provide GWP flexibility and financial stability in supporting future operating and capital needs. The reserves also provide GWP with the flexibility to address changes in construction, schedule, and financing-related costs (e.g., the debt interest rates) for the proposed Grayson repowering project, as it is currently estimated in the forecast. In addition, these cash reserves are utilized for multiple purposes at the utility, such as working capital, rate stabilization (e.g., reducing rate volatility and impacts), and capital improvements. 152 of 345

COST OF SERVICE RESULTS
Developing the Test Year Revenue Requirement is the first step in the Rate Study, as shown in Figure 1-1.
After determining the system revenue requirement, a COS for each customer class is developed to determine the specific costs to serve each class. Customer class revenues are compared to class revenue requirements to evaluate the current rate’s abilities to fully recover costs. NewGen analyzed the cost to serve each customer class based on the revenue requirement developed in Section 2.
Once completed, the COS results indicate the degree to which existing rates recover the costs to serve customers. The COS results are then used to design new electric rates.
The COS analyses relied on the following key supporting data and analysis:
Test Year reported revenue requirements and revenues based on current rates; Total System and customer class demand and energy requirements; Actual and assumed customer service characteristics; and Information obtained from customer accounts and records.
Functionalization of Revenue Requirement
The second step in the COS and rate design process, as shown in Figure 1-1, is to functionalize the revenue requirement. The Electric Utility’s rates were unbundled into four functions: power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer service. The assignment of costs by function falls into two general categories:
1) direct assignments and 2) derived allocations. Direct assignments are costs that are readily associated with a specific utility function and are directly assigned to that function. For example, the purchase power contracts are an expense solely related to power supply, so it is directly assigned to that function.
Derived allocators are allocation factors that are based on the sum, average, or weighted effect of different underlying factors. Derived allocators can be complex and should reflect the logical answer to the following question: what underlying activities drive the cost of this item? For example, administrative and general expenses are associated with the O&M of all utility functions. Thus, administrative and general expenses are allocated to each utility function using various derived allocators. Each of the four utility functions is described below.
Power Supply Function
The power supply function consists of costs associated with power generation, the cost of purchased power, and procuring and administering power supply contracts.
Transmission Function
The transmission function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the transmission portion of the electric grid and making capital investments, as necessary. The transmission facilities transmit electricity at a high voltage from the generation stations to the distribution system. 153 of 345
Section 3
3-2 GWP Rate Study Final Report
Distribution Function
The distribution function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the distribution portion of the electric grid and making capital investments, as necessary. The distribution facilities deliver power to the retail customers after it ha s been transmitted. This includes low voltage distribution lines, distribution poles, underground lines, customer service connections, meters, and lighting-related assets.
Customer Service Function
The customer service function consists of costs associated with operating and maintaining the customer related facilities to meet customer support needs. This includes, but is not limited to, customer service, billing and collection, and meter reading.
Unbundling of Revenue Requirement
The revenue requirement determined for the Test Year was “unbundled” into the four functional areas of the system : power supply, transmission, distribution, and customer. The results of the functional unbundling are summarized in Table 3-1.

Total $306,802,972 $0.313 100%
(1) Based on Test Year retail energy sales of 1,116,355 MWh.
The power supply function includes the vast majority of the costs for GWP and represents 77% of the Test Year Revenue Requirement. The distribution function is the second largest cost center, representing 14% of the Test Year Revenue Requirement. The transmission function represents 2% of the Test Year Revenue Requirement. The remaining 7% of the revenue requirement is associated with the customer function.
Classification of the Revenue Requirement
The third step in the COS and rate design process is to classify the functionalized revenue requirement.
System costs can be classified into four generally accepted rate-making cost classifications: (1) demand or fixed costs, (2) energy or variable costs , (3) customer-related costs, and (4) directly assignable costs. In order to provide a reasonable basis for the assignment of total revenue requirements (costs) to each customer class, costs for each function have been analyzed and classified into four categories as described below.
Demand Costs – Capacity (fixed- or demand-related) costs are those costs incurred to maintain a utility system in a state of readiness to serve, enabling it to meet the total combined demands of its 154 of 345
COST OF SERVICE RESULTS
GWP Rate Study Final Report 3-3
customers. Capacity costs include the fixed portion of O&M expenses, debt service, capital expenditures, and other costs that are generally fixed and do not vary materially with the quantity of usage or that cannot be designated specifically as a customer or variable cost. Energy Costs – Energy, or variable costs, are costs that vary directly with energy usage, including such items as fuel, energy-related purchased power, and a portion of O&M expenses. Customer Costs – Customer costs are those costs directly related to the number and type of customers, such as customer accounting, customer service, billing, and meter-related expenses. Direct Assignment Costs – Direct assignment costs are those costs that are readily identifiable and applicable to a particular customer or customer class (e.g., Lighting).
Once the costs within each function are assigned to each service category, the demand, energy, customer, and direct assignment components of each service are calculated. As seen in Table 3-2, three major cost categories (demand, energy, and customer) cover most functional costs. This breakdown of demand, energy, customer, and direct assignment costs is later applied to each customer class to facilitate rate design, as provided in Section 4.

Section 3
3-4 GWP Rate Study Final Report
In total, 40 % of the Electric Utility’s revenue requirement is energy -related or variable costs. The remaining 6 0% of the revenue requirement is fixed in nature and classified as demand, customer, or directly assigned to particular customer classes.
Allocation of Revenue Requirement
The fourth step in the COS and rate design process is to allocate the functionalized, classified revenue requirement to the various customer classes. Customer classes represent aggregations of customers that have similar customer usage characteristics and use the system in a similar manner. These groups of customers have similar COS results, which justify similar rates.
Class Allocation Factors
Based upon actual and assumed customer service and consumption characteristics, NewGen developed various factors for use in allocating the revenue requirement to individual customer classes. These allocation factors reflect accepted ratemaking principles and were based upon embedded cost allocation procedures. Embedded costs are the total system costs assuming utility resources are spread across all customers. Embedded costs are generally based on historical or known costs such as audited financial statements and budgets.
We have developed demand-related, energy-related, customer-related, and direct assignment allocation factors as described below.
Demand Allocations
Demand allocators are derived based on the demand requirements of individual customers and classes of customers. Costs are allocated to classes based on the class contribution to the system peak, or coincident peak allocators. This is a measure of each c lass’s cost responsibility associated with the infrastructure required to meet the system peak demand. As you move from the generator to the meter, the measure of peak demand responsibility changes from a system perspective (coincident peak) to a class perspective (non-coincident peak) to a customer perspective (demand at meter). Demand contributions at these various points in the system are determined based on advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and billing data available to GWP and NewGen.
For customer class allocation purposes, the four- month coincident peak (4CP), 12 -month coincident peak (12CP), and four-month non-coincident peak (4NCP) were used to allocate demand -related power supply, transmission, and distribution related costs. The 12CP allocator was used to allocate baseload related power supply costs. The 4CP was used to allocate the peak ing related power supply costs.
Transmission costs for the Electric Utility were also allocated using the 4CP method, which recognizes that the transmission system is constructed to deliver power at the time of the maximum system peak.
To verify the demand allocators chosen for power supply and transmission, we performed the three peak load tests used to determine whether the system demands are characteristic of a 4CP, 6CP, 12CP, etc.
These tests are commonly referred to as the “FERC Tests” as the methodology has been used and supported at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The three tests are the On- and Off-Peak test, the Low to Annual Peak test, and the Average to Annual Peak test. Each of these tests supported the use of a 4CP allocator for peak load.
156 of 345
COST OF SERVICE RESULTS
GWP Rate Study Final Report 3-5
Similarly, distribution costs are designed to meet the maximum demands of the localized system or customers, so the 4NCP allocation factor was used. Distribution demand-related costs were allocated to customer classes based on the 4NCP. An NCP allocator is typically used to allocate distribution costs, as distribution facilities are sized to meet localized peak demands rather than the system peak demand. The 4NCP method was used to allocate the distribution system demand -related costs associated with substations, poles, conductors, and distribution transformers.
Table 3-3 compares the various demand allocators utilized in the Study.

Energy Allocations
Energy allocation factors are the basis for allocating costs or expenses classified as variable or energy related and are assumed to vary directly with kWh sales. Energy-related costs classified as variable were energy costs from fuel, renewable contracts , and spot market purchases. Typically, net energy for load (NEFL), or the energy necessary to supply each customer class, is used to allocate these types of costs to individual customer classes. NEFL is also sometimes called adjusted metered load or energy at generation, as it takes into consideration energy losses that occur on the transmission and distribution systems between the power supplier delivery point and the customer’s meter. Table 3-4 lists the energy allocation factors utilized in the Study.

Customer Allocations
Customer costs are defined as those costs related to the number of customers and the type of service required. Included in the customer-related costs are the costs associated with meter reading, customer service, sales, billing, collection, and other cust omer-related activities. The customer allocation factors were largely based on the number of customers in each class.
In allocating certain customer- related costs to the various customer classifications, weighted customer allocation factors were utilized. Weighting reflects that servicing certain types of customers requires more effort and expenses than other types of cu stomers. Weighting factors were developed based on discussions with GWP staff, as well as by applying industry knowledge and practices. Weighting factors reflect the relationships between the customer classes and the types of equipment or services needed to serve the class and the relative costs of those items. For example, utilities typically have “ key account” customer service representatives dedicated to serving large business customers, which results in higher customer service costs for these customers on a per customer basis.

PROPOSED RATES
Rate design is the culmination of a COS study where the rates and charges for each customer class are established in such a manner that the total revenue requirement of the utility will be recovered in the most equitable and consistent manner, to the extent reasonable and practical. During rate design , consideration was given to the recovery of fixed costs in the customer and demand charges and the implications of Proposition 26, as well as phasing in the proposed rates over time.
Rate Design Objectives
In general, proposed and recommended rate structures should meet the following objectives and best practices:
Rates should be equitable among customer classes and individuals within classes, taking into consideration the costs incurred to serve each customer class. Rates should be designed to encourage the most efficient use of the utility’s system. Rates may take into consideration other important factors, such as competitive concerns, conservation, GWP or City Council policies, etc.
Rates should be simple and understandable.
Rate design typically combines COS results and policy considerations important to the community.
Specific rate design goals for GWP include:
Aligning rates with COS results in improving fixed cost recovery. Aligning rates with the COS results to address differences between and within classes. While moving rates toward the COS, to the extent possible, minimize customer and class adverse impacts to proposed rates.
Electric Rate Structure
The proposed electric rates include a customer charge, energy charge, demand charge (if applicable), Energy Cost Adjustment Charge (ECAC), R egulatory Adjustment Charge (RAC) , and the R evenue Decoupling Charge (RDC). The customer, energy, and demand charges are commonly referred to as “base rates,” while the ECAC, RAC, and RDC are referred to as pass-through adjustment rates.
Base Rate Charges
The customer charge should be designed to recover customer -related costs. The expenses to the utility for providing customer -related functions do not change with the energy the customer consumes and should therefore be on a $/month or $/day basis. The energy charges ($/kWh) should be designed to recover all variable costs including O&M, fuel, and applicable power supply costs. The demand charge should be designed to recover demand-related costs and should be on a $/kilowatt (kW) month or $/kW day basis.
161 of 345
Section 4
4-2 GWP Rate Study Final Report
Customer and demand charges should collect revenues to fund the Electric Utility’s fixed costs. However, due to rate design, energy charges may collect revenues to recover both fixed and variable costs. For customer classes that do not have demand charges, a large portion of fixed costs are collected through the energy charge.
Certain customer classes have seasonal rates that reflect the higher demand periods (e.g., summer) and lower demand periods (e.g., non-summer) for the Electric Utility system. The High Season is July through October and the Low Season is November through June. These seasonal charges provide price signals to customers that reflect the higher costs associated with system peaking periods. The COS results also indicate customer and demand charges are too low for some classes and thus should be increased. This is a common result for many utilities throughout the industry.
Pass-Through Adjustment Charges
Utilities often have adjustment charges that pass through variable costs , allowing the utility to fully recover these costs as the costs are not controlled by the utility. The utility uses the pass-through cost adjustment rates to recover costs when they vary from the projected basis. The Electric Utility rates have three adjustment charges, which include the ECAC, RAC, and RDC.
The ECAC is a mechanism to pass through the fuel and purchased power variable costs. The ECAC passes through charges or credits for any differences in the projected fuel and purchased power-related costs to the customers without the need for a formal rate change. The ECAC is reviewed semi -annually with any changes to become effective January 1 and/or July 1. GWP, upon its discretion, can utilize electric reserves to offset all or a portion of these costs. The current ECAC is $ 0.0250 per kWh ; however, GWP may implement an adjustment in the future, if or when needed . When GWP completes a COS study and implements new rates, the recommended base rates integrate current ECAC and related pass -through charges; thus, recommended rates include the ECAC, RDC, and RAC moving to $0.00 per kWh. For the purposes of this report, NewGen has maintained the ECAC at $0.000 per kWh in each of the five phases of the proposed rates.
The RAC is designed to recover costs associated with variances from projected regulatory compliance costs related to federal, state, and local laws regarding reliability standards, environmental laws and regulations, renewable portfolio standard requiremen ts, air quality , and greenhouse gas regulations.
Specifically, the mechanism is designed to recover costs associated with business process design, recordkeeping and reporting, training, compliance assessments, judgments, orders or decisions, environmental remediation costs, emission reduction costs, energy efficiency, energy storage, and load reduction costs and mandated power supplies. The RAC is reviewed semi -annually with any changes to become effective January 1 and/or July 1. GWP, upon its discretion, can utilize electric reserves to offset all or a portion of these costs. The current RAC is $0. 00011 per kWh; however, GWP may implement an adjustment in the future, if or when needed. For the purposes of this report, NewGen has maintained the RAC at $0.000 per kWh in each of the five phases of the proposed rates.
The RDC is an adjustment mechanism to collect costs associated with differences between projected and actual retail sales. This mechanism is designed to recover costs when sales are impacted by weather, lower electricity consumption, and other factors. The RDC is reviewed semi-annually with any changes to become effective January 1 and/or July 1. GWP, upon its discretion, can utilize electric reserves to offset all or a portion of these costs. The current RDC is $0. 0159 per kWh; however, GWP may implement an adjustment in the future, if or when needed. For the purposes of this report, NewGen has maintained the RDC at $0.000 per kWh in each of the five phases of the proposed rates. 162 of 345
PROPOSED RATES
GWP Rate Study Final Report 4-3
Public Benefits Charge
Each electric rate bill prepared by GWP includes a Public Benefits Charge (PBC). The PBC is imposed at a rate of 3.6% of the charges made for such electricity , and for any supplemental services or other associated activities directly related to and/or necessary for the provision of electricity to the service user.
Please note that the PBC is applied to each customer bill; however, we have not included the PBC amount in the proposed rate tables for each customer class within this section.
Electric Utility Proposed Rates
Based on the COS results, GWP decided to support their revenue requirement needs with a combination of rate increases and use of reserves. GWP set annual retail revenue increases of 14.8% for FY 2024,
11.3% for FY 2025, 11.3% for FY 2026, 0.0% for FY 2027, and 0.0% for FY 2028. These rate increases are necessary to maintain the reserve fund balance at adequate levels.
The Rate Design section of this report includes proposed rates for each class to meet the required revenue goals. The GWP revenue increases were not applied equally to each customer class, as the COS results support a higher rate increase for Residential and Small Commercial customers and slightly lower rate increases for Medium Commercial and Large Commercial classes. Due to the larger rate increases required each year at a system level, a rate strategy of limiting the increase for any class at 1.25 times the system average rate increase needed was applied. This capped the rate increases recommended for Residential and Small Commercial. However, over the course of the three years, all classes moved to align with their COS results. The results of the rate strategy and rate recommendations by class are summarized in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1
Recommended Rate Increases by Class
Customer Class FY 2024 FY 2025 FY 2026 FY 2027 FY 2028

Lighting (SL1, SL2, SL3) 0% 0% 0% 0% 0%
Total 14.8% 11.3% 11.3% 0% 0%
The proposed Electric Utility rates include a demand charge (where applicable), energy charge, customer charge, ECAC, RAC, and RDC. Seasonal, inclining block, and time-of-use (TOU) rates are also contained in the proposed rates. Based on the forecasted expenses to operate the Electric Utility from FY 2024 through FY 2028, NewGen recommends rate adjustments over three phases rather than five to align with the proposed Grayson repower ing schedule and to maintain financial metrics required to ensure financial health at GWP. The forecasted revenue generated in each phase is provided in Table 4-2.

The revenues by customer class used for the financial forecast were based on the audited 20 22 data provided by GWP. The revenues and billing impacts estimated in this section of the Report are based on the 2022 customer billing database provided by GWP. The 2022 audited revenues are approximately 0.7% higher than the revenues from the 2022 customer billing database. Billing database revenues often vary slightly from audited revenues based on adjustments performed as part of the audit and, less commonly, from missing customer information from the billing database.
Rate Design Results
The proposed rates and example monthly customer bills for each customer class are presented below.
Graphs have been included to provide visual information with respect to current rates, proposed rates, and COS results. Please note that each phase corresponds to the GWP FY (e.g., Phase 1 is FY 2024, Phase 2 is FY 2025, etc.).
Residential Service
The Residential class is composed of a standard rate and a TOU rate. L-1-A is the standard rate in which residential customers are served on a retail basis. L-1-B is composed of residential customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates. The COS results showed that the Test Year revenues were 42.9% less than the COS for the class. Table s 4-3 and 4-4 compare the current and proposed rates for Phases 1 through
5. As previously mentioned, when GWP completes a COS study and recommends new rates, the pass - through rates (ECAC, RDC, and RAC) are all absorbed into the base rates and subsequently set to $0.00 per kWh. Those pass-through rates will adjust in the future to address the difference s in the forecasted 164 of 345

4-6 GWP Rate Study Final Report
The COS analysis indicates that the current revenues collected for the Residential class are below COS levels, and the proposed rates are designed to move this customer class closer to COS levels. The current customer charge is slightly lower than the COS, results in L-1 A, and is proposed to increase in each phase.
The proposed increases will help offset the differences between the current revenues and the COS, and will increase fixed cost recovery. The energy charges are also proposed to increase in each phase to assist this customer class to move closer towards COS levels . For the L-1-B or TOU class, the customer charge was adjusted to align with the non-TOU customer charge.
Figure 4-1 compares the unit costs ($/kWh) for the current rates, five phases of rate adjustments, and the COS for a series of monthly energy usage amounts within the Residential class. As shown in the figure, each phase of the rate changes moves the Residential class rate curve closer to its COS curve. Please note that as the rates are phased in over a three- year period, the final phases of rates are slightly above the COS. COS-based rates assume an implementation in year 1 of the full COS indicated rate change. When rates are gradually phased in, the later phases must re-collect the lost revenue in the early phases as rates are not at the proper COS levels. This situation exists for each rate class and recommended rates.
As illustrated in Figure 4-1, the proposed rates closely mirror the current rates. At lower usage levels or load factors, the total bill is driven more by the fixed customer charges than the variable energy charges.
This results in a higher rate per kWh for lower usage customers than higher usage customers. As a customer’s usage increases, the rate per kWh for each phase slightly decreases.
The figure also shows a bar graph representing the number of customers at each energy usage interval.
The majority of customers use between 200 and 600 kWh per month.
Figure 4-1. Residential L-1-A Cost Curves (High Season) The average Residential Customer uses approximately 400 kWh per month. The average customer will experience an overall rate increase of 18.6% in Phas e 1. Figure 4-2 reflects the monthly bill adjustment per customer that Residential accounts will experience from Current rates to Phase 1.
As illustrated in Figure 4 -2, the majority of Residential customers will experience a bill increase of less than $15.00 from Current rates to Phase 1.

Small Business
The Small Business class is composed of a standard rate and a TOU rate. L-2-A is the standard rate in which s mall business customers are served on a retail basis. L-2-B is composed of small business customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates. Small Business customers are commercial electric customers that use less than 20 kW of demand or 5,000 kWh. Tables 4-5 and 4-6 compare the current and proposed rates for Phases 1 through 5.
The COS analysis indicates that the current revenues collected for the L-2 class are 43.6% below COS levels, and the proposed rates are designed to move this customer class closer to COS levels. The current customer charge is lower than the COS results and is proposed to increase in each phase. The proposed increases will help offset the differences between the current revenues and the COS, as well as increase fixed cost recovery. The energy charges are also proposed to increase in each phase to assist this customer class to move closer towards COS levels.

Medium Business
The Medium Business class includes customers whose peak demand exceeds 20 kW of demand or 5,000 kWh. The Medium Business class is composed of a standard rate, a TOU rate, and Customer -Owned- Generation rates. LD-2-A is the standard rate at which medium business customers are served on a retail basis. LD-2-B is composed of medium business customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates. LD-2- C is the standard rate at which medium business customers are served on a retail basis who own and operate photovoltaic or wind powered electric generation systems for which they desire standby capacity from GWP. LD-2-D is composed of medium business customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates who own and operate photovoltaic or wind powered electric generation systems for which they desire standby capacity from GWP . The average customer in the class has a monthly peak demand of 50 kW.
Tables 4-7 and 4-8 compare the current and proposed rates for Phases 1 through 5.
According to the COS analysis , the Test Year revenues are under-collecting the full LD -2 class COS by
19.6%. For the proposed rates, adjustments are made to align more closely to the COS and support better fixed cost recovery.

Figure 4-9 compares the unit costs ($/kWh) for the current rates, five phases of rate adjustments, and the COS for various load factors for a 50 kW per month customer within the Medium Business class. The 50 kW per month customer reflects an average peak monthly demand for the LD-2 class. As shown in the figure, each phase of the rate changes moves the class rate curve closer to its COS curve.
At lower load factors, the total bill is driven more by the fixed customer and demand charges than the energy charges. This results in a higher rate per kWh for lower usage customers than higher usage customers. As a customer’s use increases, the rate per kWh for each phase slightly decreases. 173 of 345

LD-2 Standby Rate
Standby service provides reliability to customers who generate all or a portion of their energy needs. The self-generating customers remain connected to the GWP power grid, which is standing by to supplement or back up power needs at a moment’s notice. Standby service minimizes this cost shifting by quantifying the value of reliability to a customer. Standby service improves the equitable recovery of costs among customers who choose to generate compared to customers who do not.
Reservation Charge
Typically, the utility and the customer will sign a contract for a specific amount of capacity or power. This capacity will depend on the customer’s needs and how much generation the customer has installed. The utility must build and design their product ion, transmission, and distribution system to meet the customer’s capacity needs. The customer will pay a Reservation Charge to the utility for the utility to maintain this “ reserved” capacity. This charge is paid each month, regardless of whether the customer has needed the capacity. This reservation charge for GWP is based on the full transmission and distribution COS results in addition to 15% of the generation or capacity COS demand-related costs. The 15% amount is based on the planning reserves often required to meet the system peak demands of the utility and maintain reliability. The remaining 85% of the generation demand -related costs are then applied in the backup charge when the customer utilizes GWP’s system as noted below.
Supplemental Power Charge
The customer may choose to install generation that does not meet all their power needs. If this is the case, the customer will pay the utility for the supplemental power above and beyond the self-generation amounts. These charges are applied to the demand and energy supplied to the customer by the utility and align with the standard rates for the customer class. In the case of the LD-2 standby rate, the LD-2-A rates will apply as the supplemental power charges.
Backup Charge
Should the customer ’s generation have an unexpected outage, they will need backup power from the utility. The backup charges will be applied to the demand and energy the customer uses during this period.
Scheduled Maintenance Charge
When the customer needs to take their generation offline to perform scheduled maintenance, the utility will provide service to the customer. The timing of this event is coordinated between the utility and the customer. It usually takes place when the utilit y’s system peak is expected to be low, commonly in the spring or fall when weather is mild. The customer will pay the Schedule Maintenance charges during this time. There is no demand charge to the customer during this period.

Large Business
The Large Business-1 (PC-1-A) class includes customers whose power needs exceed 150 kW. The Large Business class is composed of a standard rate, a TOU rate, and Customer-Owned-Generation rates. PC-2- A is the standard rate at which large business customers are served on a retail basis. PC-2-B is composed of large business customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates. PC-2-C is the standard rate at which large business customers are served on a retail basis who own and operate photovoltaic or wind powered electric generation systems for which they desire standby capacity from GWP. PC -2-D is composed of large business customers served on a retail basis with TOU rates who own and operate photovoltaic or wind powered electric generation systems for which they desire standby capacity from GWP. Customers with demand less than 500 kW per month may choose the PC-1-A, PC -1-B, PC -1-C, or PC -1-D rate.
Customers with demand over 500 kW per month for three months during a one-year period must be on the PC-1-B or PC-1-D rate. The minimum demand charged to the customer is 150 kW. Tables 4-10 and 4- 11 compare the current and proposed rates for Phases 1 through 5.
According to the COS analysis , the Test Year revenues under-collected the full PC-1 class COS by 2 8.2%.
The demand cost is related to the expense to serve the PC -1 customer’s peaking demand. For the proposed rates, each charge increases, moving the rates closer to COS results. 177 of 345

Figure 4-13 compares the unit costs ($/kWh) for the current rates, five phases of rate adjustments , and the COS at various load factors for a 431 kW per month customer within the Large Business class. As shown in the figure, each phase of the rate changes moves the class rate curve closer to its COS curve.
At lower load factors, the total bill is driven more by the fixed customer and demand charges than the variable energy charges. This results in a higher rate per kWh for lower usage customers than higher usage customers. As a customer’s usage increases, the rate per kWh for each phase slightly decreases.

Figure 4-13. Large Business PC-1-A Cost Curve (High Season) The average Large Business customer uses approximately 126,500 kWh per month. The average customer will experience an overall rate increase of 12.1% in Phase 1. Figure 4 -14 reflects the monthly bill adjustment per customer that Large Business accounts will experience from Current rates to Phase 1.
As illustrated in Figure 4-14, the majority of Large Business customers will experience a bill increase less than $3,200.00 from Current rates to Phase 1.

PC-1 Standby Rate
As a part of this Study, we have developed Standby Service rates for the PC-1 rate class and customers who install self-generation to serve all or a portion of their load. The rates are based on the COS results and fixed costs to serve the customers. Fixed costs include generation demand, transmission demand, and distribution demand. The following charges were developed for the Large Business class. As with LD- 2 Standby Service, the reservation charge for GWP is based on the full transmission and distribution COS results in addition to 15% of the generation or capacity COS demand -related costs. The 15% amount is based on the planning reserves often required to meet the system peak demands of the utility and maintain reliability. The remaining 85% of the generation demand -related costs are then applied in the backup charge when the customer utilizes GWP’s system as noted below. The Supplemental Service charge is also aligned with the applicable PC-1-A phased rates.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In reliance upon the data received by GWP and the analyses described herein, we conclude and recommend the following.
Conclusions
Financial Forecast:
• GWP has a total capital plan of $ 723 million over the Study Period. This capital plan is proposed to be funded through a combination of debt, rate revenues, and use of cash reserve funds.
• GWP will meet all operating, capital, and debt needs through 202 8 based on the GWP recommended rate changes.
• GWP will meet or exceed its debt service coverage ratio requirements of 1.1X. • GWP will maintain adequate cash reserves.
Revenue Requirement:
• Current rates are not generating sufficient revenues to meet current and projected costs. On a systemwide basis, current rate revenues require an immediate one -time 33.3% increase to fully recover the COS results.
COS:
• The Residential and Small Business classes are significantly below COS. • The Medium and Large Business classes are below COS; however, they are closer than Residential and Small Business.
• Existing rate components are continuing to move closer to align with the COS to minimize intraclass subsidization.
Rate Design:
• Due to the large rate increases, a rate strategy to gradually move classes closer to their COS results with a cap of 1.25 times the system average rate increase was implemented for each class. Thus, the Residential and Small Commercial classes rate increases were limited each year.
• Rates were designed to phase in the COS indicated changes over a three-year period. • Base rates require modification to better align with the COS results, generally increasing the fixed charges such as the customer or demand charges.
• Customer charges were aligned between the standard rate and TOU rate for each class. 183 of 345
Section 5
5-2 GWP Rate Study Final Report
Recommendations
Based on our conclusions and supporting analyses, NewGen recommends the following:
GWP should adjust rates across each customer class to better align with the COS results. The COS results show the need for a rate increase for all classes other than lighting. GWP should adjust rates over a three-year period to ensure that financial metrics such as debt service coverage ratio and days cash on hand are met.
The GWP Council should support the adoption of the rate plan as proposed in this Report. GWP should continue to perform a comprehensive COS study every three to five years, or when aligned with a major change in operations such as a change in power supply, a new large industrial customer or loss of a large customer, or significant change in system operations.
