Definition of "Month"
The term "month" as used in this Schedule means the period intervening between meter readings for the purposes of monthly billing. Readings are taken once a month at intervals of approximately thirty days.
Determination of Billing Demand
The City will install a permanent demand meter when the monthly consumption of the customer equals or exceeds 3,000 kWh, or when tests indicate a demand of 15 kW or more, however, at its option, the City may install such a meter for any customer served under this Schedule.
The demand for billing purposes each month shall be the largest of the following:
(1) The maximum integrated thirty‐minute demand measured in the previous 12 months including the month for which the bill is rendered.
(2) Fifty percent (50%) of the customer's maximum recorded demand.
(3) 30 Kilowatts (kW).
Determination of Energy
The kWh of energy shall be the difference between the current month's watt‐hour reading and the previous month's watt‐hour meter reading.
Power Factor Correction
When the average monthly power factor of the Customer's power requirements is less than 85 percent, the City may correct the integrated demand in kilowatts for that month by multiplying by 85 percent and dividing the average power factor in percent for that month.
Sales Tax
The appropriate North Carolina sales tax shall be added to the above electric rates. This rate was designed to match a Duke Power LGS Rate, and will be adjusted whenever the North Carolina Utilities Commission approves a change in the Duke Power rate.

SPECIAL EVENTS FEES
Special events are important contributors to the quality of life for High Point citizens and are welcome activities in our community. The City of High Point is happy to assist organizations and groups in providing quality events. A special event is defined as a pre‐planned event, whether publicly or privately sponsored, which is held on public property, including but not limited to parks, streets and/or sidewalks.
The costs of making such facilities available are generally recovered through fees collected for the specific event. However, the public interest is also served by reducing and/or waiving such fees for certain events that have direct community benefit to the population as a whole. Furthermore, to maintain public trust, procedures shall be established for the consistent, fair and prompt evaluation of such requests.
CATEGORIES OF EVENTS
Co‐Sponsored: Co‐Sponsored events are determined by the City Council and are events of general interest to the public which provide a special economic development benefit or advances the City's public image. The City will determine through the budget appropriation process the extent to which the event will be financially sponsored, either through direct appropriation or allocation of in‐kind support. Any costs in excess of the support level determined by the City will be the responsibility of the other sponsoring organization(s). The City must be listed as a co‐sponsor on printed materials/announcements.
Other Non‐Profit Events (Charitable/Non‐Profit groups, Civic/Community Groups): Permit fees and rental fees for City facilities will be charged at 50% of charges listed in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule. Rental fees for equipment and/or Public Safety personnel will be charged at regular rates.
For‐Profit Events/Private Individuals or Groups: All fees associated with the event are the full and complete responsibility of the requesting party. Additionally, any organization or group which did not meet their obligation for a previously fee‐waived or reduced event will not be eligible to receive a fee waiver or reduction for subsequent events.
