City Council Agenda Item #3
Staff Report
Date: October 16, 2023
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Cliff Wagner, City Administrator
Subject: Approval of Resolution No. 2023-R-034: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gridley Amending Gridley’s Master Fee Schedule to Modify Title 13, Electric Charges Recommendation
Staff respectfully requests that the Mayor and City Council consider and approve Resolution No. 2023-R-034: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gridley Amending Gridley’s Master Fee Schedule to Modify Title 13, Electric Charges.
Background
As a Publicly Owned Electric Utility, City of Gridley levies electric system usage fees (or service charges) to offset the operation and maintenance expenses of the existing electric system. In 2022 the City of Gridley contracted with Utility Financial Solutions LLC to conduct an independent, comprehensive Cost of Services Study of the City of Gridley electric system.
Utility Financial Solutions provided a detailed and lengthy report on the Cost of Services Study to the City Council at the August 7, 2023 City Council meeting. This was followed by an in-depth public discussion of the analysis and projections at a City Council Study Session on September 12, 2023. The public report focused on the significant financial challenges facing the Electric Fund, including growing year over year Electric Fund deficits beginning in 2025 if no corrective actions were taken to bring rates into alignment with costs.
Table 1. Electric Fund Balance Projections Assuming No Changes to Current Rates The Electric Fund Balance projections are the result of dramatic increases in the cost of power generation resulting from increased natural gas prices, inflationary pressures since 2018 which total 19.62% in the cost of goods and services, electric infrastructure cost (transformers specifically) increased 36% in 2021 and another 20% in 2022, with corresponding nation-wide increases in Transmission and Power Supply costs. These factors are only further exacerbated by the unstable and costly environmental regulatory demands imposed by the State of California.

Additionally, the last electric rate increase for the City of Gridley was implemented in 2017, however, in 2020 rates were subsequently decreased to 2016 levels. Failure to keep pace with inflation and cost of service has placed the Electric Fund into a “cash burn” status, which, as outlined in Table 1. (above), will result in year-overyear deficits if corrective action is not taken.
Table 2. CAISO Electric Costs for the Past Five Years
Rate Discussion and Comparisons
The Cost of Services Study also established that Gridley Electric Utility Rates are significantly lower than those of the nearest regional competitor, Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation. The lack of rate adjustments during the economic hardships of the past years and the COVID 19 Pandemic has positively impacted Gridley Electric Utility customers and families. However, the lack of adjustments to electric rates, combined with dramatic increases in power supply and transmission costs has also placed the Electric Fund Balance projections on a deficit trajectory and imperiled service delivery.
Table 3. Gridley Electric Utility Average Rates Compared to PG&E Customer Type Gridley Electric PG&E % Difference
Residential $ 148 $ 266 44%
Commercial Non-Demand $ 307 $ 343 11%
Commercial Demand $ 3,466 $ 6,507 47%
Industrial $ 13,440 $ 205,166 93%
Immediate Actions Recommended to avoid Electric Fund Crisis The City Council of the City of Gridley adopted Electric Rate Policies including an Adequacy Policy to ensure the utility could collect revenue adequate to safely operate, maintain, and build utility infrastructure as well as meet financial policies, obligations, and maintain regulatory compliance. On September 12, 2023 the City Council directed Utility Financial Solutions President, Mark Beauchamp, to develop proposed electric rate adjustments to be implemented on January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 respectively. Reference Table 4 Two Year Proposed Rate Adjustment Proposal for overview of adjustments necessary to ensure Gridley Electric Utility can continue to meet financial policies, obligations, and adequate levels of service.
Table 4. Two-Year Proposed Rate Adjustment Proposal
* Detailed rate adjustments, by customer class, can be found in Annex A, City of Gridley Rate Design, October 11, 2023.
The Two-Year Proposed Rate Adjustments Place the Electric Fund on Track As directed by the City Council of the City of Gridley, Utility Financial Solutions rate adjustments for 2024 and 2025 correct the deficit trajectory of the Electric Fund balances ensuring sufficient cash balances necessary to continue the community’s high level of customer service, maintain infrastructure and respond to the unpredictability of California’s changing power sector and regulatory demands.

Fiscal Impact and Public Notice

Compliance with City Council Strategic Plan or Budget Goals This report is consistent with our efforts to ensure that our community members are fully informed of all City activities and all budgetary and financial efforts.

The current Butte County LHMP was approved in November of 2019 and will expire in November of 2024.
According to FEMA guidance, each participating jurisdiction must document participation. Five of the City’s department managers have made themselves points of contact for the creation of the LHMP. The update is due for approval by FEMA no later than November 2024.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF BUTTE
AND THE CITY OF GRIDLEY
FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
This Memorandum of Understanding, hereinafter referred to as "MOU," is entered into by and between the County of Butte, a political subdivision of the State of California, hereinafter referred to as "County," and the City of Gridley, hereinafter referred to as "Participant.” The purpose of this MOU is to provide governance and guidelines in the participation in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, hereinafter referred to as LHMP. This document is intended to be general, describing countywide policies, and jurisdictional roles.
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, County is sponsoring a Countywide Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP for the primary intent of identifying the operational area’s hazards and actions capable of mitigating the identified hazards.
WHEREAS, County has executed contract X25305 with Foster Morrison Consulting LTD, hereinafter referred to as “Contract” for the delivery of the 2024 Butte County MultiJurisdictional LHMP update, and to disseminate to each participating jurisdiction. In addition, to be reviewed and approved by the California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) requires governmental entities to adopt a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Multi-Hazard Disaster Mitigation Plan, also known as a LHMP in order to apply for hazard mitigation project funding. Without an approved LHMP, jurisdictions are ineligible to apply for pre-disaster and post-disaster mitigation project funding. The mitigation planning regulation at 44 CFR §201.6(d)(3) states:
A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within five (5) years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding.
Butte County’s current Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP was approved by FEMA on November 5, 2019. Understanding the importance of pre-disaster mitigation planning, Butte County has developed partnerships with the cities of Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, the Town of Paradise and many Special Districts to combine efforts in the development of a Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP.
The updated 2024 Butte County LHMP will assess the risk from all hazards, natural and manmade, within the County; evaluate the vulnerability of assets, including structures and infrastructures, to these hazards; and assist participating jurisdictions to identify and plan mitigation initiatives to address their vulnerability.
The 2024 Butte County LHMP Update shall involve completion of background and technical work to support a comprehensive hazard risk assessment; coordinating with County/City/District staff, conducting public outreach, and facilitating the planning process; formulating and facilitating the updated mitigation strategy; and providing all deliverables necessary to comply with state and federal mitigation planning regulations and guidance resulting in a California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) compliant and FEMA approved LHMP Update. The resulting 2024 Butte County LHMP Update shall be a clear, action-oriented document which
shall serve Butte County and participating jurisdictions, and identify actions which can be taken to reduce local risk and disaster-related losses from future hazard events.
