<br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
<br />Assessment District No. 78-2
<br />Mr. William Showalter, of W. R. Showalter & Associates, gave a status report on
<br />Assessment District No. 78-2, stating that the construction and plans are pro-
<br />gressing as anticipated according to Contracts A and B. Mr. Showalter stated
<br />the phases of construction include the completion of Washington Street, extend-
<br />ing westerly from Mt. Vernon Avenue, the construction of a storm drain system,
<br />from Interstate Highway 15 extending westerly and southerly to the Santa Ana
<br />River, and the construction of a 3,000,000 gallon water reservoir together with
<br />approximately 10,000 feet of transmission pipeline.
<br />Mr. Showalter stated if the Council Members had any questions regarding Assessment
<br />District No. 78-2, he would be happy to answer them.
<br />Electric Division
<br />Rate Study
<br />Q Mr. Gale Drews, Electric Utility Director, stated last year the City received a whole-
<br />sale rate increase from Southern California Edison Company, which went into effect on
<br />August 15, 1979, and the City, in turn, put into effect an interim rate increase in
<br />the amount of 4.6%. Mr. Drews said during this interim, the R. W. Beck & Associates
<br />conducted a rate study for the City of Colton to determine the City's near-term
<br />future revenue requirements from its electric customers and to develop rates that
<br />will adequately recover these projected revenue requirements.
<br />Mr. Ron Locher, of R. W. Beck & Associates, then reviewed the,Electric Rate Study
<br />for the City of Colton, as prepared by R. W. Beck & Associates, with the Council
<br />Members, outlining the effects of Edison's increase in the City's cost of purchas-
<br />ed power, the proposed rates to recover the City's revenue requirements, and pro-
<br />jected future rates and increases. Mr. Locher also reviewed a Five -Year Plan of
<br />Major System Improvements for the City's Electric Utility System as prepared by
<br />R. W. Beck & Associates.
<br />Mayor Gonzales then read a letter from Robert Blinkinsop, Chairman of the Utilities
<br />Commission, advising that the Utilities Commission accepted the final proposed rates
<br />and approved the rate schedules as presented, and recommended adoption of Resolution
<br />No. 4001.
<br />After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman
<br />Rehrer, approving RESOLUTION NO. 4001, adopting a new Electric Utility Rate
<br />Schedule. Unanimous vote.
<br />Transportation
<br />Dial -A -Ride
<br />Acting City Manager Elliott stated at a previous meeting, the City Council dis-
<br />cussed the possibility of providing Dial -A -Ride service to the Inland Shopping
<br />Center and directed Staff to research and report back to the Council.
<br />Mr. Elliott advised the present contract with Yellow Checker Leasing, Inc., de-
<br />fines the service area as being within the corporate boundaries of the City,
<br />and the City Attorney, as outlined in his memorandum dated March 17, 1977, has
<br />stated neither pick-up nor delivery are to be out of those limits.
<br />Mr. Elliott stated the City Council, however, may amend the agreement by including
<br />the Inland Shopping Center as part of the service area and, since the service is
<br />based on number of vehicles and hours of service, there would not be any additional
<br />cost to the City.
<br />Councilman Rehrer was concerned that the City would be starting a precedent for
<br />service to other areas outside of Colton if the City were to provide this service
<br />to the Inland Center.
<br />Councilwoman Garcia also felt the Council should maintain the Dial -A -Ride service
<br />within the confines of the City of Colton.
<br />No further action was taken on this item.
