C. Grants
-
-
-
- EVCS Siting and Installation Process in the South Bay Cities agreement with California Energy Commission – attached (Legal counsel approved with one concern)
- The fifth bullet in Section 17(e) says that the grantor can impose other prepayment conditions, at any time, and is obligated only to endeavor to provide advance notice. I don’t like provisions that reserve the right of a party to unilaterally impose some new requirement; that doesn’t result in a meeting of the minds necessary for an enforceable contract. It seems unreasonable for the SBCCOG to perform work and then be subjected to an entirely new and potentially burdensome prepayment condition that creates a serious obstacle to receiving payment.
- ACTION: Approve due to February 20 deadline
-
-
D. Reliability Issues – 12:45 pm
-
-
-
- CPUC and AB 66 Rulemaking – As directed by the SBCCOG Board, the SBCCOG has become a party in the CPUC proceeding “Order Instituting Rulemaking Regarding Policies, Procedures, and Rules for Reliability Reporting Pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 2774.1.” regarding AB 66 implementation. Opening comments were submitted January 23, 2015, which was the deadline for party status. The classification of being a “party” means that comments submitted will carry more weight than filing informal comments. Other submittals from Manhattan Beach and Torrance.
- CPUC comments from SCE appear to state that they are supportive of reporting by city.
- Staff is also working on a CPUC webpage for our website to inform our SBCCOG member cities about key issues affecting our region at the CPUC.
