Subject: ZEROCITY LLC Introduction (City Council Agenda Item 2.a — October 18, 2016, 4:00 p.m.)
Dear Mayor Marx and City Council Members:
We are writing to introduce ZEROCITY LLC and to confirm our interest in serving the City of San
Luis Obispo as it implements its 2012 Climate Action Plan. We have been coordinating with City Staff
over the last few months to establish a working relationship and are encouraged to see mention of our
efforts in your October 18, 2016 agenda.
The ZEROCITY team combines comprehensive city and climate action planning with the know-
how to finance and implement energy projects. Our services are tailored for municipalities, school
districts, and universities that are working to lower greenhouse gas emissions through the
implementation of energy efficiency measures and community -scale renewable energy development.
ZEROCITY's innovative approach to renewable energy development is being well received. We
currently have contracts with potential for 10 megawatts or more of renewable power in California. We
are also deeply involved in Community Choice Aggregation, having published two white papers
promoting community -scale renewable energy in the Monterey Bay Region. Rod Fickel, Director of Sales
and Marketing, has over 30 years of corporate management experience and has brokered financing and
construction contracts for numerous renewable energy projects. Martin Carver, Director of Planning
and Research, is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners and has over 30 years of
comprehensive city and climate action planning experience.
We hope to finalize formal arrangements with your staff in the coming weeks and begin our
work with the City of San Luis Obispo.
