6.1 First Reading - Repealing Ord. No. 2024-13
First reading of an Ordinance repealing Ordinance Number 2024-13, which amended Chapter
13.04, Article I, relating to electric rates, to modify rates and requirements for customers with
photovoltaic and battery systems -- Daniel Bethapudi; General Manager of Electric Utility
Bethapudi presented and reviewed: how on March 12, 2024, the City passed an Ordinance to
amend Chapter 13.04, Article I, which amends numerous aspects of Chapter 13.04, Article I,
including Section 13.04.045 for large commercial and industrial service. However, because
the rate changes require time to implement, the effective date of the Ordinance was set to be
July 1, 2024. He added that after the City passed Ordinance No. 2024-13, but before the
effective date, further amendments to Chapter 13.04, Article I became necessary; specifically,
the City requires a rate schedule to govern certain large commercial and industrial customers
as soon as possible. Bethapudi added that to make that rate schedule effective as soon as
possible, the Electric Department recommends repealing Ordinance No. 2024 -13, and
passing the required large and commercial industrial rate ordinance in the upcoming council
meetings in June 2024.
Skye Masson, City Attorney read the Ordinance caption.
