The Energy Council does not have power to impose taxes or fees; it does not require <br /> contributions or other payments from member agencies; and it has the power to adopt <br /> ordinances provided that the ordinance only applies if a member agency adopts a <br /> resolution to "opt-in". Under the joint powers agreement (the JPA is Attachment A to the <br /> proposed resolution) no debt, liability, or obligation of the Energy Council is a debt, <br /> liability or obligation of any member agency. (See JPA Section 1.) <br /> Current Energy Council priorities relate to single family retrofits, multifamily retrofits, <br /> innovate financing for EV charging infrastructure, labeling and recognition programs, <br /> advocacy for next cycle of Code and standards, integrated one-stop-shop services for <br /> small/medium commercial businesses, addressing regulatory and technical barriers to <br /> fuel switching from natural gas, and local energy resiliency (i.e., improving communities <br /> to maintain its local power supply during unexpected weather events). <br /> Adoption of the attached resolution would submit Pleasanton's formal request to join the <br /> Energy Council as provided in Section 7 of the JPA. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> Brian Dolan Nelson Fialho <br /> Assistant City Manager City Manager <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
