A.Each year the City of Palo Alto (“City”) regularly assesses the financial position of its
utilities with the goal of ensuring adequate revenue to fund operations. This includes making
long-term projections of market conditions, the physical condition of the system, and other
factors that could affect utility costs, and setting rates adequate to recover these costs. It does
this with the goal of providing safe, reliable, and sustainable utility services at competitive rates.
The City adopts Financial Forecasts or Plans to summarize these projections.
B.The City uses reserves to protect against contingencies and to manage other aspects
of its operations, and regularly assesses the adequacy of these reserves and the management
practices governing their operation. The status of utility reserves and their management practices
are included in Reserves Management Practices (Exhibit 3) and Financial Forecast (Exhibit 1)
attached to and made part of the staff report presented to the City Council.

City of Palo Alto may by resolution adopt rules and regulations governing utility services, fees and
charges.

SECTION 18. The Council finds that approving the Electric Reserve Management Practices,
Financial Forecast, and Reserve transfers does not meet the California Environmental Quality Act’s
(CEQA) definition of a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines
Section 15378(b)(5), because it is an administrative governmental activity which will not cause a
direct or indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore, no environmental
assessment is required. The Council finds that changing electric rates to meet operating expenses,
purchase supplies and materials, meet financial reserve needs and obtain funds for capital
improvements necessary to maintain service is not subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA), pursuant to California Public Resources Code Sec. 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines
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.

Palo Alto Green Service includes the purchase by the City of Palo Alto Utilities
Department of enough renewable energy credits (RECs) to match 100% of the metered
energy usage at the customer’s facility each month. Any Customer may alternately request
that CPAU purchase a specific number of 1000 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks of RECs.
CPAU will charge the Customer the Palo Alto Green Charge for each such requested block.
These REC purchases support the production of renewable energy, increase the financial
value of power from renewal sources, and creates a transparent and sustainable market that
encourages new development of wind and solar.
Customers choosing to participate shall fill out a Palo Alto Green Power Program
application provided by the Customer Service Center. Customers may request at any time,
in writing, a change to the number of blocks they wish to purchase under the Palo Alto
Green Program.
6. Primary Voltage Discount

consecutive months, a Maximum Demand Meter will be installed as promptly as is
practicable and thereafter continued in Service until the monthly use of energy has dropped
below 6,000 kilowatt-hours for twelve consecutive months, whereupon, at the option of the
City, it may be removed.
The Maximum Demand in any month will be the maximum average power in kilowatts
taken during any 15-minute interval in the month, provided that if the Customer’s load is
intermittent or subject to fluctuations, the City may use a 5-minute interval. A thermal-type
Demand Meter which does not reset after a definite time interval may be used at the City's
option.
The Billing Demand to be used in computing charges under this schedule will be the actual
Maximum Demand in kilowatts for the current month. An exception is that the Billing
Demand for Customers with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) will be based upon the actual

rate schedule as is applicable to their kilowatt-Demand and kilowatt-hour usage profile
6.Palo Alto Green Program Description and Participation
Palo Alto Green Service includes the purchase by the City of Palo Alto Utilities
Department of enough renewable energy credits (RECs) to match 100% of the metered
energy usage at the Customer’s facility each month. Any Customer may alternately request
that CPAU purchase a specific number of 1000 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks of RECs.
CPAU will charge the Customer the Palo Alto Green Charge for each such requested block.
These REC purchases support the production of renewable energy, increase the financial
value of power from renewal sources, and creates a transparent and sustainable market that
encourages new development of wind and solar.

Exhibit 3
Section 7. Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve
The Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve is used to manage the supply cost impacts associated
with variations in generation from hydroelectric resources. Staff will manage the
Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve as follows:
a)Projected Hydro Output: Near the end of each fiscal year, staff will determine the
actual and expected hydro output for that fiscal year, compare that to the long-term
average annual output level (495,957 MWh as of March 2018), and multiply the
difference by the average of the monthly round-the-clock forward market prices for
each month of the current fiscal year.
b)Changes in Reserves. Staff is authorized to transfer the amount described in Sec. 7(a)
from the Operations Reserve to the Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve for hydro
output deviations above long-term average levels, or transfer this amount from the
Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve to the Operations Reserve for hydro output
deviations below long-term average levels.
c)Implementation of HRA. The level of the Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve after the
transfers described above shall be the basis for staff’s determination, with Council
approval, of whether to implement the Hydro Rate Adjuster (Electric Rate E -HRA) for
the following fiscal year.
d)Reserve Guidelines. Staff will manage the Hydroelectric Stabilization Reserve
according to the following guideline levels:
Minimum Level $3 million
Target Level $19 million
Maximum Level $35 million
Section 8. Underground Loan Reserve
At the end of each fiscal year, the Underground Loan Reserve will be adjusted by the principal
payments made against outstanding underground loans.
Section 9. Public Benefits Reserve
The Public Benefits Reserve will be increased by the amount of unspent Public Benefits
Revenues remaining at the end of each fiscal year. Expenditure of these funds requires action
by the City Council.
Section 10. CIP Reserve
The CIP Reserve is used to manage cash flow for capital projects and acts as a reserve for
capital contingencies. Staff will manage the CIP Reserve according to the following practices:
a)The following guideline levels are set forth for the CIP Reserve. These guideline levels are
calculated for each fiscal year of the Financial Planning Period and approved by Council
resolution.
Minimum Level 20% of the maximum CIP Reserve guideline
level
Docusign Envelope ID: 627738B5-61E3-4469-81EF-C52DB15223FB
Exhibit 3
Maximum Level Average annual (12 month)1 CIP budget, for
48 months of budgeted CIP expenses2
b)Changes in Reserves: At the end of each fiscal year staff will transfer from the Distribution
Operations Reserve to the CIP Reserve an amount equal to the amount of electric utility
unspent CIP budget at the end of the fiscal year reduced by the amount of any contractual
commitments and reappropriations. Any other additions to or withdrawals from the CIP
reserve require Council action.
c)Minimum Level:
i)If, at the end of any fiscal year, the minimum guideline is not met, staff shall present
a plan to the City Council to replenish the reserve. The plan shall be delivered by the
end of the following fiscal year, and shall, at a minimum, result in the reserve reaching
its minimum level by the end of the next fiscal year. For example, if the CIP Reserve is
below its minimum level at the end of FY 2017, staff must present a plan by June 30,
2018 to return the reserve to its minimum level by June 30, 2019. In addition, staff
may present, and the Council may adopt, an alternative plan that takes longer than
one year to replenish the reserve, or that does so in a shorter period of time.
d)Maximum Level: If there are funds in this reserve in excess of the maximum level staff
must propose in the next Financial Plan to transfer these funds to another reserve or
return them to ratepayers in the funds to ratepayers, or designate a specific use of funds
for CIP investments that will be made by the end of the next Financial Planning period.
Staff may also seek City Council to approve holding funds in this reserve in excess of the
maximum level if they are held for a specific future purpose related to the CIP.
Section 11. Rate Stabilization Reserves
Funds may be added to the Electric Supply or Distribution Fund’s Rate Stabilization Reserves
by action of the City Council and held to manage the trajectory of future year rate increases.
Withdrawal of funds from either Rate Stabilization Reserve requires action by the City
Council. If there are funds in either Rate Stabilization Reserve at the end of any fiscal year,
any subsequent Electric Utility Financial Plan must result in the withdrawal of all funds from
this Reserve by the end of the Financial Planning Period. The Council may approve exceptions
to this requirement, when proposed by staff to provide greater rate stabilization to
customers.
Section 12. Operations Reserves
The Electric Supply Fund and Electric Distribution Fund Operations Reserves are used to
manage normal variations in the costs of providing electric service and as a reserve for
contingencies. Any portion of the Electric Utility’s Fund Balance not included in the reserves
described in Section 4 to 11 above will be included in the appropriate Operations Reserve
unless the reserve has reached its maximum level as set forth in Section 12 (e) below. Staff
will manage the Operations Reserves according to the following practices:
Docusign Envelope ID: 627738B5-61E3-4469-81EF-C52DB15223FB
Exhibit 3
a)The following guideline levels are set forth for the Electric Supply Fund Operations
Reserve. These guideline levels are calculated for each fiscal year of the Financial
Planning Period based on the levels of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and
commodity expense forecasted for that year in the Financial Plan.
Minimum Level 60 days of Supply Fund O&M and commodity expense
Target Level 90 days of Supply Fund O&M and commodity expense
Maximum Level 120 days of Supply Fund O&M and commodity expense
b)The following guideline levels are set forth for the Electric Distribution Fund Operations
Reserve. These guideline levels are calculated for each fiscal year of the Financial
Planning Period based on the levels of O&M expense forecasted for that year in the
Financial Plan.
Minimum Level 60 days of Distribution Fund O&M expense
Target Level 90 days of Distribution Fund O&M expense
Maximum Level 120 days of Distribution Fund O&M expense
c)Minimum Level: If, at the end of any fiscal year, the funds remaining in the Supply Fund
or Distribution Fund’s Operations Reserve are lower than the minimum level set forth
above, staff shall present a plan to the City Council to replenish the reserve. The plan
shall be delivered within six months of the end of the fiscal year, and shall, at a
minimum, result in the reserve reaching its minimum level by the end of the following
fiscal year. For example, if the Operations Reserve is below its minimum level at the end
of FY 2014, staff must present a plan by December 31, 2014 to return the reserve to its
minimum level by June 30, 2015. In addition, staff may present an alternative plan that
takes longer than one year to replenish the reserve.
d)Target Level: If, at the end of any fiscal year, either Operations Reserve is higher or
lower than the target level, any Financial Plan created for the Electric Utility shall be
designed to return both Operations Reserves to their target levels by the end of the
forecast period.
e)Maximum Level: If, at any time, either Operations Reserve reaches its maximum level,
no funds may be added to this Reserve. Any further increase in that f und’s Fund
Balance shall be automatically included in the Unassigned Reserve described in Section
13, below.
Section 13. Unassigned Reserves
If the Operations Reserve in either the Electric Supply Fund or the Electric Distribution Fund
reaches its maximum level, any further additions to that fund’s Fund Balance will be held in
the Unassigned Reserve. If there are any funds in either Unassigned Reserve at the end of
any fiscal year, the next Financial Plan presented to the City Council must include a plan to
assign them to a specific purpose or return them to the Electric Utility ratepayers by the end
of the first fiscal year of the next Financial Planning Period. For example, if there were funds
in the Unassigned Reserves at the end of FY 2016, and the next Financial Planning Period is
FY 2017 through FY 2021, the Financial Plan shall include a plan to return or assign the funds
in the Unassigned Reserve by the end of FY 201 7. Staff may present an alternative plan that
retains these funds or returns them over a longer period of time.
Section 14. Intra-Utility Transfers between Supply and Distribution Funds
Docusign Envelope ID: 627738B5-61E3-4469-81EF-C52DB15223FB
Exhibit 3
Transfers between Electric Distribution Fund Reserves and Electric Supply Fund Reserves are
permitted if consistent with the purposes of the two reserves involved in the transfer. Such
