[SGVHAK] Reminder: SGVHAK meeting this Saturday 8/24

[Scoops Adamczyk]

I'm in Pasadena, but I don't have my electric bill in front of me. So I compared these 2 docs:
http://ww2.cityofpasadena.net/waterandpower/pdf/ElectricRates062007.pdf
https://www.ladwp.com/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=OPLADWP009439&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased
I admit, it is the low range.
