3. October 15, 2019 City Council meeting —Council votes on second reading of <br />Ordinance and signature page of JPA <br />Following City Council action, EBCE staff will conduct its internal technical analysis, <br />which evaluates impact on EBCE rates and GHG emission reductions by serving <br />Pleasanton. The EBCE Board will then review the technical analysis and consider <br />Pleasanton's membership request and votes on Resolution to include Pleasanton (or <br />not). The EBCE will then update the Joint Powers Agreement and files an amended <br />implementation plan to the CPUC before December 31, 2019. <br />Beginning in 2020, a Pleasanton councilmember is entitled to a seat on the EBCE <br />Board of Directors. Community outreach to the Pleasanton community will begin and <br />EBCE will initiate its outreach program. Enrollment in EBCE would most likely start in <br />Spring 2021 and EBCE enrollment will be reflected on customer PG&E bills within one <br />to three billing cycles thereafter. <br />CONCLUSION <br />While City staff remains concerned about the governance structure of EBCE, it also <br />notes that the most effective and efficient way to achieve future compliance with State <br />and local climate action goals is through early participation in EBCE. State regulatory <br />mandates are becoming more aggressive, and the City alone does not have the <br />resources or expertise to implement astand-alone CCA. Additionally, no regional CCAs <br />(e.g. MCE, etc.) are currently accepting new members from Alameda County <br />municipalities, thereby narrowing the two options available to the City of Pleasanton at <br />this time. The two options include: 1) implementing the staff recommendation to join <br />EBCE in calendar 2021; or 2) delaying implementation to 2022 (and beyond) which <br />allows more time to gauge EBCE operational sustainability, governance and other <br />alternatives to EBCE. <br />For the reasons described <br />authorizing the City to join <br />initiate a timeline of formal <br />calendar year 2021. <br />Submitted by: <br />�\. ��`� <br />�\ <br />Kathleen Yurchak <br />Director of Operations and <br />Water Utilities <br />Exhibits: <br />in the attached technical evaluation, City staff recommends <br />East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) and to direct staff to <br />actions by the City Council to achieve this objective in <br />Fiscal Review: <br />����� <br />Tina Olson <br />Director of Finance <br />1.
