STAFF REPORT
Back2round
Over the last several weeks, the inadequate supply and rising price of electricity in California has
become one of the most significant issues facing businesses and government throughout the
state. In San Bernardino, the situation is resulting in higher electricity bills for businesses and
residents, as well as the City itself.
At the Mayor's request, the Ways and Means Committee is exploring options concerning a
rebate of Utility User's Tax paid by businesses in order to provide some degree of financial
relief. It is anticipated that this matter will be brought forward for consideration of the full
Council in the near future.
In the meantime, the Committee has recommended that a workshop be held with the Mayor and
Council in order to provide a full understanding of the various issues involved. At this
workshop, Southern California Edison representatives will make a presentation concerning
electricity issues.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Mayor and Council schedule a luncheon workshop with Southern
California Edison for Monday, February 5, 2001, at 12 noon in the EDA Board Room.
