No. 4276 Mr. Gale Drews, Electric Utility Director, stated the Council Members have copies of a memorandum and exhibits presented to the Utility Commission at a meeting held December 29, 1982, regarding a future rate increase. Mr. Drews advised the increase is intended to occur simultaneously with Edison's im- plementation of their "Step II" rate approved by the FERC, however, the date of Edison's rate inctease to all resale cities and their own retail customers is uncertain at this time. Edison's increase to the City, as projected in Exhibit No. II, would amount to approximately 9%. Mr. Drews reported that the Utility Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council they approve a rate increase sufficient to recover the increased costs of purchased power, and this cost has been projected to be an over-all 8% rate in- crease. Mr. Drews stated one of the conditions of approval for Edison's rate increase was to have the San Onofre Power Plant operable for 200 hours at 100% capacity. Mr. Drews said to the best of his knowledge, the plant is now operable at 50% capacity. Mr. Drews concluded Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 4276 adopting the new rate schedule, which reflects the 8% increase, to become effective upon Edison's implementation of their Step II rate schedule.
