Fillmore freezes planned power rate step-down, keeps recent energy charge
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 26-11 to rescind a planned rate step-down and maintain the energy charge adopted in Resolution 26-07, citing unimplemented cost-price adjustments and rising power costs.
The Fillmore City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 26-11, which negates a previously scheduled step-down in power rates and preserves the energy charge the council recently adopted in Resolution 26-07. Council members said the change is necessary because the cost price adjustment was not used last year and rates must "steadily increase to keep up with increasing power costs to the city."
No public comments were offered on the item. The resolution passed on roll-call with all councilmembers voting yes; staff said the amendment aligns the city's rate schedule with recent wholesale and transmission cost trends and previous studies of power rates.
