In Decision 95-09-075, the California Public Utilities Commission ordered Southern
California Gas Company (SoCaIGas) to refund certain amounts to its customers relating
to an overcollection of gas costs. SoCalGas has requested Commission approval to make
this refund by credit to customer bills in November, 1995.
The City of Arcadia authorizes Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) to refund
the Utility Users' Tax collected pursuant to Ordinance No. 1415 as such Tax corresponds
with SoCalGas' refund amount by a credit to customers bills. Also, SoCalGas is
authorized to compute this Utility Users' Tax refund by multiplying each customer's
monetary refund by the City's average Utility Users' Tax rate from January, 1995 through
June, 1995. This methodology assures that each refund is calculated and distributed
uniformly. The City's average Utility Users' Tax rate from January, 1995 through June,
1995 is 5.00%.
Further, the City of Arcadia authorizes SoCalGas to offset its Utility Users' Tax payments
to the. City by the total of the above-authorized Tax refunds through a one-time credit
against current Utility Users' Tax collections (or multiple credits if the total Tax refund
exceeds current collections).
Should the California Public Utilities Commission require SoCalGas to make its refund
in a month other than November, 1995, this agreement shall apply to the refund made in
the month and year required by the Commission.
Attached is the Resolution of the City Council of Arcadia authorizing this Agreement.
By signing this agreement, I certify that I am authorized to enter into this agreement on
behalf of the City of Arcadia.
