Report in Brief;
This report requea:::ts that Council approve the attached letter
agreement ~ng the Bonnevil~e Pover Administration (Bonneville),
Northern California Power Agency (NePA) and NCPA interconnected
lDeJnbers ~ This a,greement provides a contra.ctual mechanism for future
purchases and sales of surplus energy, surplus capacity, po'Wer
excbanqe and other services as ~ay be agreed to by Borneville and
NCPA.. This agreement does not constitute an agreement, in advance,
or an assu&ption of an obliqation by Palo Alto to purchase or sell
any specific amount of power or eervices4
piseYssion
Palo Alto is entitled to approximately 50 Megawatt (KW) of the
cali.fornia-oreqon Transmission Project (COTP) ~ The construction cf
COTP is scheduled for completion by the end of 19924 The operation
of the transmission line should cOl'llllence in 3anuary of 1993. CO'!'P
will provide a link bet~een northern a~d central California and the
Nor~~~est United statas reqior.~
In March of 1991, Council approved a IS-year agreement providing
for the sale of Palo Alto surplus energy and capacity resources to
the City of Roseville4 In November of 1991, council 8pproved a 20-
year agreement providing for the purchase of po..."er fro1fl Washingto'1i.
Water Po~er4 In August ot 1992, council approved a 20-ye.ar
agree~ent providing for tha exchange of power with Seattle city
Light. Thes:e agreeD1ents -will require approximately 24 MW-of
transmission capacity to the Northwest United States. Palo Alto
will utilize a portion of its entitlement to the COTP to provide
for ~~at transmission.

The remaininq 26 MW of transmission cap3city, to which PAlo Alto is
entitled on tha COTP, ~ill sna~le Palo Alto, through NePA, to make
600:10111.10 transactions with the Northwest united States region.
Tbese tzoansactions are short term in na.ture (considerably less than
one year) and are often made betveen dispatchers over the
telephone. In order to make these transactions, most large
entities, like BonnevillE, require an umbrella agreement to govern
the general provisions of deliveries~ payaent methods, etc. The
timely eXecuti?n of this agreement will empo.,eL" NCPA to JIIa);e
economic transactions on a real time (within hours of notice of
availability) with Bonneville as soon as the COTP is operable.

Staff recommends that the council authorize the Mayor tc execute
the Agreement among the United states of Americ~, Department of
Enerqy, acting by and through the Bonneville Power Administration
and NCPA and the NCPA interconnectad members~
