_ CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />For Council Meeting of Feb. 6, 1990 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Gale A. Dtews, Electric Utility Director i <br />SUBJECT: CUSIK1,W SERVICE POLICY REVISIONS RE "ING FEES IN Date: 1/9/90 <br />POLICY NO. 20 AND POLICY NO. 22, AND FOR AN <br />ADDITIONAL ALLOCATION 7O "LIFE SUPPORT" HO(JSEHOLDS <br />Revisions to Electric Utility Customer Service Policy No. 20, No. <br />22, and "Life -Support" are proposed. <br />Customer Service Policy No. 20 <br />It is proposed that Customer Service Policy No. 20, Extension of <br />Lines, be revised by adding "Section G. Engineering and Plan Check <br />Fees: 11 to page 42 of the current Policy. The practice of the <br />Electric Department has been to charge $10.00 for checking for <br />meter locations and changing services at existing residences. <br />Subsection 1 would increase the charge to $15.00. The practice of <br />the Electric Department has been to charge a minimum of $50.00 for <br />plan check and engineering services. Subsection 2 would increase <br />the minimum charge to $70.00. These proposed cost increases result <br />from average cost of staff time to complete the work. <br />Customer Service Policy No. 22 <br />It is proposed that Customer Service Policy No. 22 be revised by <br />establishing a fixed fee of $800.00 per marbelite standard to be <br />charged to the developer or owner. Current policy is to base unit <br />charges on "the estimated or actual installation cost as determined <br />at the time of development by the City of Colton Utility". The <br />revision is proposed to reduce the cost of staff time to calculate <br />unit costs for each street light. Variations in unit costs are not <br />substantial, but cause the Electric Department to either refund or <br />bill customers an additional amount based on actual final cost. <br />The proposed revision will avoid this cumbersome process and help <br />to reduce Department operating costs. <br />Customer Service Policy on "Life -Support" <br />Currently, the Customer Service Policy of the Electric Department <br />provides for an additional low block quantity of electricity to <br />residential electric customers where a full-time resident requires <br />use of life support equipment that requires electricity. <br />Attachments: <br />Page 1 of ---2 <br />ORIGINAL Item No. <br />CENTRAL RECORDS <br />FILE NO. _Z- <br />/ to <br />
