THE GENERAL MANAGER OF ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL POWER TO
EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE QUITCLAIM DEED FORM
WHEREAS, the City of Alameda is a participant in the Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA) Combustion Turbine Project Number One
(CT1), which consists of five separate generating units, each rated at
approximately 24.5 megawatts, located in Roseville (two units), Alameda (two
units) and Lodi (one unit); and
WHERES, Alameda's project entitlement percentage, as specified in the
Agreement for Construction, Operation and Financing of Combustion Turbine
Project Number One (CT1 Third Phase Agreement), dated as of July 1, 1984, is
13.092 %, which amounts to 16.05 megawatts; and
WHEREAS, at its September 17, 2007, public meeting, the Alameda
Public Utilities Board (the Board) approved the Agreement for Layoff and Sale
of Project Entitlement Percentage Relating to Combustion Turbine Project
Number One (Layoff and Sale Agreement) between NCPA and each of the
project participants and recommended City Council ratification; and
WHEREAS, the Layoff and Sale Agreement provides for the transfer of
full ownership of the two Roseville CT1 units, along with associated property
and equipment, to the City of Roseville upon the retirement of the bonds for the
project and further provides that the CT1 Third Phase Agreement shall be
amended to: (i) remove Roseville as a project participant; and (ii) remove the
two Roseville CT units from the project description; and
WHEREAS, at its September 18, 2007, public meeting, the Alameda City
Council approved the Layoff and Sale Agreement between NCPA and each of
the project participants; and
WHEREAS, the NCPA participants in the CT1 project including Alameda
deem the transfer of ownership to be mutually beneficial given that Roseville's
electric load and the two Roseville CTs are located the SMUDIWestern electric
control area, whereas the two Alameda CTs, the Lodi CT, and each of the other
CTI project participants are located in the control area administered by the
California Independent System Operator; and
WHEREAS, the bonds for the CTI project were retired on August 16,
2010, which triggers the need to amend the CT1 Third Phase Agreement as
part of the transfer of ownership process; and
WHEREAS, in order to complete the transfer, each remaining CTI
project participant will need to sign a Quitclaim Deed Form to Roseville for the
two Roseville CT units; and
WHEREAS, upon completion of the transfer process, Alameda's
entitlement percentage will increase from 13.092% to 21.821% though the
resulting megawatt entitlement remains constant at 16.05 MW.
