Meeting Date 4/9/85
ITEM TITLE: Resolution / / D - Supporting the Application for Acquisition
of Low Cost Federal Hydroelectric Power
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney; (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
This resolution will express the Council's support for an application for
federal hydropower which is to be submitted by SDG&E.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution
DISCUSSION:
On March 22, 1985, SANDAG took action to request local governments to adopt a
resolution supporting the application for federal hydropower submitted by
SDG&E on their behalf, and formally requesting the preference allocation of
all of California's share of federal hydropower from the Boulder City Area
Projects.
This application for federal hydropower is the culmination of several years of
cooperative involvement in this issue by local governments and SDG&E. This
will be the region's only opportunity to apply for this power for the next
twenty years. The goal of this application is to obtain an allocation of
low-cost federal hydroelectric power generated from various facilities to be
delivered directly to all electric customers in the participating
pa g
jurisdictions. SDG&E will act as the agent for participating local
governments in submitting the application, delivering the power and performing
the administrative functions. These services will be provided at cost. Local
governments will formally request the power allocation, assume the legal
responsibility for its distribution and contract with SDG&E to perform the
services described above.
