CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA
RESOLUTION NO. R 82-142
A RESOLUTION TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
AND TO EXAMINE WITH CLOSE SCRUTINY_ THE RATE
INCREASE REQUEST OF FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY
WHEREAS, the Florida Power and Light Company is currently
requesting a rate adjustment from the Public Service Commission
of the State of Florida; and,
WHEREAS, the Florida Power and Light Company is initiating
its new electric power rate schedule at a time when highest rates
of the year are during the warmest months of the year; and,
WHEREAS, the use of air conditioning in Southern Florida and
Coastal regions is necessary to maintain minimum comfort, and to
control interior humidity levels and destructive mold; and,
WHEREAS, the justification for such rate schedule is to minimize
capital requirements for utilities in meeting future demands; and,
WHEREAS, the real cause for additional generating capacity and
ensuing capital demands is ever increasingly being placed upon the
power systems by new facilities being connected to the distribution
lines; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed rate increase discriminates against pre-
sent users and citizens in order to provide additional capacity for
future users by paying for the capital expansion prior to its use.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF TAMARAC,
FLORIDA that:
SECTION 1. The Public Service Commission of the State of Florida
should consider carefully the inflationary effect on the consumers
should the rate increase be granted.
SECTION 2. That the Public Service Commission of the State of
Florida as a representative body of the citizenry of the State of
Florida should examine judiciously and wisely the justification for

rate increases propounded by the Florida Power and Light before
making its final decision.
SECTION 3. That the Public Service Commission of the State of
Florida should pay close attention to the vast percentage of elderly
persons residing in the City of Tamarac and in the State of Florida,
who maintain their places of abode on fixed and unchanging incomes.
SECTION 4. The Public Service Commission of the State of Florida
should recognize and seriously consider the rate structure of Florida
Power and Light Company in light of the significant conservation
efforts by all people and businesses.
SECTION 5. The Florida Power and Light Company should, in
presenting the proposed rate increase, be required by the Public
Service Commission of the State of Florida to financially and
statistically demonstrate the need for all expenditures, especially
those in the public relations, advertising and lobbying areas.
SECTION 6. That the Public Service Commission of the State of
Florida, in considering the rate increase, also examine carefully
the allowable rate of return on investment afforded the Florida
Power and Light Company in addition to salaries and administrative
