FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Authorization for Southern California Gas Company to
Make Refunds of Utility Users Tax
Introduction
This report recommends the City Council authorize the Southern
California Gas Company to make certain refunds of the City's
Utility Users tax as provided for under Section 6632 (b} of the
Santa Monica Municipal Code. The Southern California Gas Company
must have the City Council's authorization by June 3, 1981.
Background
The California Public Utilities Commission has ordered the
Southern California Gas Company to refund certain natural gas
rates to service users for the period January 1, 1981 to February
28,1981 (CPUC Resolution Numbers G-2360 and G-2389). This
decision affects the City's Utility Users Tax since this tax (5~)
is based on the gas rates.
Southern California Gas Company's best estimate at this time is
the January 1981 amount to be remitted to the City would decrease
$37,624.91 and the February 1981 amount would decrease $32,989.77.
Recommendation
It is respectfully recommended that City Council authorize the
Southern California Gas Company to make refunds as provided for
under Section 6632 (b) of the Santa Monica Municipal Code since
Southern California Gas Company has the only complete data on all
service users and can make the refunds in a timely manner.
