ORDINANCE NO. 3516 AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH AMENDING SECTIONS 3.36.010 AND 3.36.080 OF CHAPTER 3.36 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE, REGARDING THE EXEMPTION OF ELECTRICAL CORPORATIONS FROM PAYING UTILITIES TAX SECTION 1. Purposes. Prior to deregulation of the electric industry, the Municipal Code of the City of Huntington Beach exempted from the Utility Users Tax levied on purchases of natural gas any purchase made by an electric power plant. This tax exemption existed because the California Public Utilities Commission would have added the resulting tax into the electric rates charged in the City rate payment. Since deregulation, electricity is sold on the open market, and the Public Utilities Commission no longer adds local taxes to electric rates. Consequently, the purpose of this Ordinance is two-fold: 1. To eliminate the tax exemption for natural gas purchases by electric power plants. 2. Direct any tax revenues resulting from the elimination of the exemption into the City's General Fund. SECTION 2. Section 3.36.010 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 3.36.010 Definitions.

(d) "Service supplier"means any entity which receives taxes paid and remits same as imposed by this chapter. (e) "Service user"means a person required to pay a tax imposed by this chapter. (f) "Tax Administrator"means the Finance Director of the City. (g) "Telephone corporation, gas corporation, and water corporation" shall have the same meanings as defined in Sections 234, 222, and 241 respectively, of the Public Utilities Code of the State of California, as said Sections existed on January 1, 1970. "Water 1 G:Ordinance:Amend Chapter 3.36 HBMC R1W/s ]0-11-6L corporation" shall be construed to include any organization, municipality or agency engaged in the selling or supplying of water to a service user. SECTION 3. Section 3.36.080 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 3.36.080 Gas tax Exclusions. There shall be excluded from the base on which the tax imposed in this Section is computed: (a) Charges made for gas which is to be resold and delivered through mains or pipes.
