Utility Advisory Committee Memo
Date: August 12, 2014
To: Utility Advisory Committee
From: Phil Lusk, Deputy Director of Power and Telecommunications Systems
Subject: Electric Utility 2014 Resource Plan
Summary: The City's Electric Utility must comply with a Washington State unfunded mandate to update
its Resource Plan. A component of the enabling legislation is that consumer participation in the development
of the Resource Plan is encouraged. Further, the governing body of a consumer-owned utility must approve
the 2014 Resource Plan after it has provided public notice and hearing.
Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to pass a resolution to
approve the Electric Utility 2014 Resource Plan.
Background/Analysis: The electric utility is required by RCW 19.280.030 to update its 2012 Resource
Plan (Plan)which must be submitted to the Washington Department of Commerce (Commerce)by
September 2, 2014. The Plan's purpose is to assure that our future resources are adequate to meet our
projected loads especially as the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) makes major changes in its energy
charges. While the proposed Plan is not a legally binding document, it describes the current as well as
estimated future power loads and resources for 2019 and 2024 time periods. The proposed Plan is publically
available on the City's website.
Staff will present the proposed Plan that incorporates the City Council 2011 decision to remain a"full-
requirements" customer of the BPA through September 2019. The Plan also recommends that the City
Council give serious consideration to increasing the level of energy conservation as the best measure to
postpone the likelihood of future Tier 2 power supply purchases. Staff will also summarize the comments
received at the August 5, 2014 City Council public hearing.
The City's energy future is essential to our community's economic health. The City has long benefited from
having access to low-cost electricity from the federally operated hydroelectric system. However, as the
world and the energy industry change, the City faces a potentially serious threat to its economy in the form
of rising wholesale electricity costs. For Port Angeles, 67% of the money spent on retail power immediately
leaves our local economy. With minimal downside risk, developing a Plan that will increase energy
efficiency and demand response will help to protect the economy from rising energy costs, keep more dollars
circulating in the region and in turn, may increase the number of jobs that stay in our community.

Utility Advisory Committee Memo
Date: August 12, 2014
To: Utility Advisory Committee
From: Phil Lusk, Deputy Director of Power and Telecommunications Systems
Subject: Utility Cost of Service and Retail Rate Adjustments
Summary: Comprehensive cost-of-service and retail rate studies for the City's electric, water and
wastewater utilities have been completed. The study results will be presented to the Utility
Advisory Committee, including rate class cost of service adjustments that must be considered
before new retail rates can be finalized in an ordinance. It is necessary to adjust retail rates to
maintain the City's utility funds in a financially prudent position.
Recommendation: Following a presentation, staff will seek a recommendation from the
Utility Advisory Committee to City Council regarding the policy related cost-of-service
adjustments that will permit the 2015 rate ordinance amendments for the Electric,Water,
and Wastewater utilities to be finalized.
Background/Analysis: The City has contracted with the FCS Group to complete
comprehensive cost-of-service and rate studies for the Electric, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste
Collections, and Solid Waste Transfer Station utilities. The studies are completed, and the results
of the cost-of-service studies for the electric, water and wastewater utilities will be presented to the
Utility Advisory Committee. It is necessary to adjust retail rates to maintain the City's utility funds
in a financially prudent position.
Following this presentation, staff will seek a recommendation from the Utility Advisory
Committee to the City Council regarding the policy-related cost-of-service adjustments that will
permit the 2015 rate ordinance amendments for the Electric, Water, and Wastewater utilities to be
finalized. This recommendation will be taken to Council for its consideration on August 19, 2014.
Following any Council-directed adjustments to the cost-of-service, the rate ordinances can be
finalized. The first proposed City Council action on the proposed rate ordinances would be a short
presentation and the opening of a public hearing on September 2, 2014. The public hearing would
be continued to September 16, 2014, at which time the public hearing will be closed. Following
Council's ratification, the proposed rate adjustments would be effective January 1, 2015.

Philip D. Lusk
Deputy Director of Power & Telecommunication Resources
Department of Public Works & Utilities
Utility Cost-of-Service Adjustment
• Staff requests a recommendation to City Council on
possible cost-of-service adjustments for the electric,
water and wastewater utilities
— Rates are developed once cost-of-service is determined
• The UAC is requested to provide a recommendation on
one of three possible scenarios:
• Across-the-board increase using current cost allocations
• Five year phase-in of true cost-of-service allocations
• Irrigation rate adjustment with five year phase-in of true
cost-of-service allocations
— NOTE: Irrigation sales accounted for 4.6% of the water utilities 2013
total sales volume
What Is Cost-of-Service ?
• Defined as the amount of money required to
fund a utility's operations, including all
expenses and deprecation
3
How Does Cost-of-Service Apply?
• Attributes costs to different customer rate
classes based on how those customers cause
costs to be incurred
— Determines how costs will be recovered from
customers within each customer rate class
a
Monthly Rate Impacts Assessed on
Two Hypothetical Customers

Water/ Wastewater Rate Discussions
Wastewater- "Base Rate" based on water usage, either<430 or >430 cuft
• <430 cuft -$43.95
• >430 cuft -$46.70
Therefore delta will only be $2.75 (average would be $45.33, if 430 is the median)
Residential Water
• 430 cuft: $28.22 + (430 x 0.0219) = $37.64
• 1000 cuft: $28.22 + (1000 x 0.0219) = $50.12
• 1500 cuft: $28.22 + (1000 x 0.0219) + (500 x 0.0277) = $63.97
• 2000 cuft: $28.22 + (1000 x 0.0219) + (500 x 0.0277) + (500 x .0344) = $81.17
• 10,000 cuft: $81.17 + (8000 x .0344) = $356.37
Irrigation Water- (no wastewater charge of$46.70)
103 irrigation customers with top ten (10) using over 50% of irrigation volume
• 430 cuft: $34.39 + (430 x .0196) = $42.82
• 1000 cuft: $34.39 + (1000 x .0196) = $53.99
• 1500 cuft: $34.39 + (1500 x .0196) = $63.79
• 2000 cuft: $34.39 + (2000 x .0196) = $73.59
