AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTERS 8.30 AND 8.32
TO THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE,
ESTABLISHING A MUNICIPAL SOLAR UTILITY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . Chapter 8.30 is hereby added to the Palm Springs Municipal Code
establishing a Municipal Solar Utility and reading as follows:
Chapter 8.30
MUNICIPAL SOLAR UTILITY
Sections:
8.30.010 Purpose.
8.30.020 Policy
8.30.030 Practices & Procedures
8.30.010 Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to grant authority to the
City Manager of the City of Palm Springs to establish a Municipal Solar Utility
in the execution of the policies set forth in this Chapter.
The welfare of Palm Springs residents has been jeopardized in the past
1 by shortages of natural gas, petroleum, propane and electric power. The
shortage of available energy supplies will continue during the coming decade
unless measures are established to conserve the energy available for the economy
and the residents of Palm Springs.
8.30.020 Policy. It is declared to be the policy of the City of Palm Springs
to encourage and promote the use of solar energy in order to prevent or reduce
an adverse impact upon the economy of Palm Springs and in order to prevent
interruption of employment of the residents of Palm Springs in commerce and
industry and in order to prevent injury to the health and welfare of the
residents of Palm Springs due to the shortage and high cost of energy in their
homes and places of work.
It is also declared to be the policy of Palm Springs to improve the
economics of solar energy use by facilitating the leasing of solar energy
devices. This policy is premised on a finding that the initial cost of
purchasing and installing a solar energy device is the primary economic barrier
to expanded solar energy use. California law currently provides that taxpayers
who lease a solar energy system from a municipal utility or from any lessor
granted a permit from a municipal solar utility shall receive a tax credit for
the first three years of operation or until the solar tax credit allowance
terminates, whichever occurs first.
It is further declared to be the policy of Palm Springs to provide
consumer protection measures for residents who lease solar energy systems
through the Municipal Solar Utility.
8.03.030 Practices and Procedures. The City Manager of the City of Palm
Springs shall by rules and regulations establish practices and procedures
designed to implement the policies set forth in this Chapter. Such practices
and procedures shall be known as the "Palm Springs Municipal Solar Utility. "

8.32.010 Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize establishment of
the regulatory framework for the leasehold marketing of solar energy devices

California law currently encourages the leasehold marketing of solar
energy devices within the State of California by providing tax credits to
California taxpayers who lease such devices from a municipal utility or from any
lessor granted a permit from a Municipal Solar Utility. Upon the establishment
of the Palm Springs Municipal Solar Utility residents of Palm Springs who lease
solar energy devices through such utility should be able to obtain such tax
credits. However, as legal title to such solar energy devices is held by a
person other than the resident-user, the latter is particularly susceptible to
harm caused by consumer deception,safety hazards and the interruption of
service. To help prevent such harm from occurring and to promote the economic
feasibility of solar energy use within the City of Palm Springs, leasehold
interests in solar energy devices may be marketed within the City's jurisdiction
by complying with the provisions of this Chapter, and any rules and regulations
promulgated by the City Manager or City Council of the City of Palm Springs to
