SECTION 6. The Council finds that the revenue derived from the adoption of
this resolution shall be used only for the purpose 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. Council finds that the adoption of this resolution is statutorily
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to California
Code of Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15273(a), because the fees and charges
proposed are necessary to recover the cost of providing utility service and meet
operating expenses. After reviewing the report and related attachments as presented,
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.
Alternatively, correction of a clerical error in a rate schedule is not a project under CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(4) and (5), as government fiscal and administrative
activities that will not result in physically significant changes in the environment.

SECTION 9. The purpose of this Resolution is to correct a clerical error in
Resolution 10253 adopted by the City Council on October 20, 2025. Instead of the
complete text of Utility Rate Schedule C-1 (Utility Miscellaneous Charges), that
resolution included a table summary of the utility miscellaneous charges, as well as the
other utility connection fees, with some discrepancies from the final Rate Schedules. For
administrative convenience, and avoidance of any confusion, the City Council has
chosen to readopt the entire resolution, substituting the complete text of Utility Rate
Schedule C-1 (Utility Miscellaneous Charges) included here in place of the summary rate
table that was part of the resolution adopted on October 20, 2025. This resolution is
intended to ratify, rather than repeal, those parts of the previously adopted resolution
that are unchanged.

Standard (“LCFS”) Program. The credit shall be equal to the estimated cost of the upgrade of
electric distribution system equipment, and may not exceed $3,000 per connection. When
Service Connection is triggered by EVSE installation, the connection fee shall be the greater
of
a) the estimate of the installation costs minus the LCFS credit, or b) the minimum fee shown

Service Connections). The availability of the credit is subject to LCFS Program rules and
funding availability.
Rebates or credits may be available to defray electric service connection chargers, if the service
upgrade is a result of higher electrical loads caused by electric vehicle charging. For additional
