A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL OPPOSING BPA'S PROPOSED AVERAGE SYSTEM
COST RATE PLAN.
WHEREAS: Hundreds of thousands of Oregonians have and should continue to
benefit from the power exchange provisions of the Northwest Electric
Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980; and,

been determined by a methodology developed by the utility regulatory
commissions of the four Northwest states and approved by the
Bonneville Power Administration on August 26, 1981; and,
WHEREAS: The Bonneville Power Administrator is now unilaterally proposing a
complete revision of that methodology which would substantially
increase residential and rural electric customers up to as much as
38 percent and deny these -atepayers the full benefits of the power
exchange provisions promised under the Act; and,
WHEREAS: The Bonneville Power Administrator has not provided sound
justification for proposing changes in the current power exchange
methodology, nor has he accepted reasonable requests for impartial
hearings on this BPA directed revision;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The Tigard City Council is opposed to the arbitrary and biased revision to the
current residential and rural power exchange methodology proposed by the
adMia,trator and call upon the administrator to either withdraw this
unfair proposal, or at least permit adequate time and cizrcumstances for full
and independent public hearings on this change before he allows this
intolerable, discriminatory provision to occur this July.
PASSED: This 0--z?0'-J day of 1984.
