Resolution No. 10190
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending Rate
Schedules G-1 (Residential Gas Service), G-2 (Residential Master-
Metered and Commercial Gas Service), G-3 (Large Commercial Gas
Service), and G-10 (Compressed Natural Gas Service) Effective
November 1, 2024
R E C I T A L S
A.The City’s transportation costs for gas are based on the current Pacific
Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E’s) G-WSL rate for Palo Alto.
B.In October 2016, due to the variability in PG&E’s Gas Transportation
Service to Wholesale/Resale Customers (G-WSL) tariff, which is largely dependent on
the California Public Utilities Commission, the City Council adopted a resolution to
identify the Transportation Charge as a separate, pass-through component of the City’s
rates so that these transportation costs can be fully and timely recovered.
C.In June 2022, Council adopted a resolution raising the upper limit on
the Transportation Charge from $0.15 per therm to $0.25 per therm due to increasing
PG&E costs related to improving storage facilities, decommissioning older facilities,
wildfire mitigation, and greenhouse gas mitigation costs.
D.In September 2024, PG&E’s G-WSL tariff increased to $0.27 per therm,
and due to an estimated average increase of 5% annually over the next 5 years, the
City is raising the upper limit on the Transportation Rate on the City’s gas rate
schedules from $0.25 per therm to $0.30 per therm effective November 1, 2024.
E.Pursuant to Chapter 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, the Council of
the City of Palo Alto may by resolution adopt rules and regulations governing utility services,
fees and charges.
The Council of the City of Palo Alto does hereby RESOLVE as follows:
SECTION 1. The Council hereby approves raising the upper limit on the
Transportation Rate on the City’s gas schedules from $0.25 per therm to $0.30 per therm
effective November 1, 2024.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Utility
Rate Schedule G-1 (Residential Gas Service) is hereby amended to read as attached and
incorporated to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Utility Rate Schedule G-1, as amended, shall
become effective November 1, 2024.

Rate Schedule G-10 (Compressed Natural Gas Service Service) is hereby amended to read as
attached and incorporated to this Resolution as Exhibit D. Utility Rate Schedule G-10, as
amended, shall become effective November 1, 2024.
SECTION 6. The City Council finds as follows:
a.Revenues derived from the gas rates approved by this resolution do not exceed
the funds required to provide gas service.
b.Revenues derived from the gas rates approved by this resolution shall not be
used for any purpose other than providing gas service, and the purposes set
forth in Article VII, Section 2, of the Charter of the City of Palo Alto.
SECTION 7. The Council finds that the fees and charges adopted by this
resolution are charges imposed for a specific government service or product provided
directly to the payor that are not provided to those not charged, and do not exceed the
reasonable costs to the City of providing the service or product.

SECTION 8. The Council finds that adoption of this resolution raising the upper
limit on the Transportation Rate component on the City’s gas rate schedules is not subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act’s (CEQA) under Public California Public
Resources Code Sec. 21080(b)(8) and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Sec.
15273(a). After reviewing the staff report and all attachments presented to Council, the
Council incorporates these documents herein and finds that sufficient evidence has
been presented setting forth with specificity the basis for this claim of CEQA exemption.

2. Seasonal Rate Changes:
The Summer period is effective April 1 to October 31 and the Winter period is effective
from November 1 to March 31. When the billing period includes use in both the Summer

Tier 1 natural gas usage shall be calculated and billed based upon a level of 0.667 therms

electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
