A Resolution Increasing Electric Rfites.
Finance Department
May 18,2004 _,~ /~
Lee Tuneberg, Finance Director
Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator
Synopsis:
The FY04-05 budget is proposing a 6% increase in electric rates and a change in commercial and
governmental seasonal rates, while holding the BPA surcharge fixed at its current rate of 20.8%. This
rate increase is necessary to cover increased personnel expenses, higher BPA Power cos'ts, greater
operating expenses and to meet the target electric fund balance.
Miscellaneous Charges and Connection Fees established by the previous resolution remain in effect,
unchanged until revised by separate Council Action.
The increase would be effective for bills prepared on or after July 1, 2004 beginning with. Cycle Seven.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Council approve the Electric Rate Resolution that increases electric rates by 6.0%,
removes seasonal rates from Commercial and Governmental rates and keeps the BPA surcharge at
20.8%.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed increase of 6% would generate an additional $706,800 annually for the City's Electric
Utility. The Franchise fee would increase by $70,938 and general fund revenue from the user's tax
would increase by $147,039. This would result in an overall increase of about 2.3% in electric bills for
an "average" residential customer.
Background:
Currently BPA is proposing a settlement with the IOU's which would remove $200 million from the
next two years of the rate case. If this occurs the total CRAC's would remain at about current level for
the first six months of the rate period. This action would equate to about a $300,000 reduction in
wholesale power costs for Ashland in each of the next 2 federal fiscal years (Oct. 1, 2004. to Sept. 30,
2006). Therefore, staff is proposing to leave the BPA surcharge at its current level. If lids settlement
were to fail or other variables change this situation; there may be a need to adjust our BPA surcharge in
October to reflect changing future circumstances. Even with this reduction, our power costs will still
increase by about $410,547 over our FY 2003-04 costs. Transmission costs are projected to decline by
$33,497. This means our net cost increase to BPA will be $377,050 or.6.8% higher than ]?Y 03-04 costs.
This increase, coupled with rising health care costs, higher PERS costs, cost of living increases in
salaries, the increasing costs of electric supplies, and a need to meet the electric fund target balance
means the City needs to increase our electric rates to cover these higher expenses.
Staff is proposing a general 6% rate increase in the proposed FY04-05 budget and would implement this
increase via a resolution that would make the rates effective in July 2004. The proposed new rates
would compare to the old rates as illustrated in the following table:
CtJm~r~T RATES
PROPOSED RATES
Residential
Basic Charge, $ 7.02/Month $ 7.44/Month
User Charge-.
First 500kwh $ .04390/kWh $ .04653/kWh
Balance $ .05400/kWh $ .05724/kWh
Bed & Breakfast
Basic Charge $ 7.02/Month $ 7.44/Month
User Charge
First 600kwh $ .04876/kWh $ .05170/kWh
Balance $ .05390/kWh $ .05714/kWh
All of these costs 'would also be subject to a 25% Electric User Tax which goes directly into the City
General Fund.
Staff is also proposing a 6% rate increase for all other customer classes. However, there is also a need to
do some rate redesign on our commercial and governmental rates to reflect seasonal wholesale billing
changes from BPA. Currently we have seasonal rates for commercial and governmental customers that
are actually higher in the winter period (Nov 1-April 30) and lower in the summer period (May 1 to
October 30). These rates reflected our BPA wholesale power rates prior to 2001, and BPA has
revamped those rates significantly since 2000.
The City now incurs high load and low load hour energy charges, that vary every month and also a
different demand charge for every month of the year.
Finance has calculated the actual wholesale cost of melded kWh rate including demand and energy on
aggregate for our entire wholesale power purchases and now the most expensive month of the year is
August with melded costs of $.05kWh.
September is second, followed by November and December and then followed closely by July. A graph
of these costs haw~ been included for your information. Therefore, the old seasonal rates of lower rates
in the summer no longer reflect the actual cost of service we incur in providing electricity to these
customers. Because of this as a part of the rate adjustment in July, we would propose to change
commercial and governmental rates by eliminating seasonality and making them uniform year around as
follows:
COMMERCIAL

30kW or less
Over 30 kW

Demand Charges for commercial customers larger than 15kW would increase from $2.76/kW by 6% to
$2.93/kW.
Governmental rates would also be amended to remove the seasonality as follows:

$.04613/kWh
$.07091/kWh
$.05316/kWh
$.04984/kWh
The demand charge would also increase from $2.76/kW to $2.93/kW
The intended impact on commercial and governmental customers with the above changes is an annual
revenue increase of 6% from those classes similar to other customers. However, the change from
seasonal rates will cause bills for summer use to be higher than would have been reflecteq under the
prior system. Additionally, winter use will billed at a lower amount than would have been billed with
seasonal rates. These changes could cause a variance in the total amount paid by any single customer
depending on seasonal use and if the customer closes for any period of time.
With higher BPA power bills and a change in the seasonality of our BPA wholesale costs, we have
encountered some cash flow issues in meeting our BPA payment schedule. This rate increase and also
the change in comrnercial and govemmental seasonality will help to alleviate this problem.
The health of the Electric Fund's ending fund balance over the long term is also of concern. The Electric
Fund guarantees the debt on the Telecommunications Fund and all financings for the Ashland Fiberoptic
Network rely on adequate debt service coverage. Annual acceptable rate increases will help to meet this
requirement and guard against coverage problems in the future.
