SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council of the City of Baldwin Park makes the
following findings:
(a) The City of Baldwin Park has been actively investigating options to procure
and provide electric power to citizens with the intent of achieving greater local involvement
over the provision of electric services and promoting competitively priced renewable
energy.
(b) On September 24, 2002, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 117 (Stat.
2002, ch. 838; see California Public Utilities Code section 366.2; herein after referred to
as the "Act"), which authorizes any California city or county, whose governing body so
elects, to combine the electricity load of its residents and businesses in a community-wide
electricity aggregation program known as Community Choice Aggregation.
(c) The Act expressly authorizes participation in a Community Choice Aggregation
(CCA) program through and by local City government.
(d) Through Docket No. R.03-10-003, the California Public Utilities Commission
has issued various decisions and rulings addressing the implementation of Community
Choice Aggregation programs, including the issuance of a procedure by which the
California Public Utilities Commission will review "Implementation Plans", which are
required for submittal under the Act as the means of describing the Community Choice
Aggregation program and assuring compliance with various elements contained in the
Act.
(e) Representatives from the City have developed an Implementation Plan
(attached hereto as Exhibit A, and hereinafter the "Implementation Plan") that describes
the formation of the Baldwin Park Community Choice Aggregation ("BPCCA") Community
Choice Aggregation program to be implemented by the City.

and through the City appears to provide a reasonable opportunity to accomplish all of the
following:
1) To provide greater levels of local involvement in and collaboration on energy
decisions.
2) To increase the amount of locally supplied renewable energy available to
Baldwin Park citizens.
3) To provide initial price stability, long-term electricity cost savings and other
benefits for the community.
SECTION 2. Approval. Based upon all of the above findings, the City Council
hereby approves the Baldwin Park Community Choice Aggregation Program
Implementation Plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
