Hi Chris,
Thank you for reaching out.
Tom has asked Bren to schedule a conference call to include Tom, Mark Bachman and myself.
She will reach out to you with some preferred times for a 30‐60 minute call.
We look forward to circling back, now that we have launched Phase I, to hear what progress you are making in SLO and
how we might assist in your efforts.

Hi Tom and Marc,
I hope you are well. When we last spoke, I was helping lead the County of San Luis Obispo CCE effort. Since
then, I have transitioned to a new role at the City of San Luis Obispo.
CCE is a top priority for the City this year. As Marc saw, our Council’s direction in December was to consider
creating our own regional CCE, while also learning more about the MBCP option as an alternative approach.

Given the length of time since we last spoke, I am hoping to reconnect on a number of issues related to
potentially joining MBCP. Let us know if you have some availability in the next several weeks to talk for 30 to
60 minutes, and we will work to accommodate your schedule.
Thank you for you time; we look forward to speaking with you.

I thought you might be interested in the following decisions by the CPUC. They clearly
indicate support for electrification and energy storage and lack thereof for mitigating
economic impact on SLO. I hope to see you and your alternates on Saturday 1/20, which
promises an interesting and engaging workshop.
The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday voted 5‐0 to retire Diablo Canyon,
the last nuclear plant in the state. Regulators will allow Pacific Gas & Electric to recover
$241.2 million for retirement costs, most of which will go towards employ retention.
The commission rejected an $85 million request for a Community Impact Mitigation
Program that had been agreed to by the utility and community stakeholders in San Luis
Obispo, where the plant is located. Regulators also rejected PG&E's plan to replace the
plant's capacity with renewable energy and storage, saying replacement resources will be
determined in its integrated resource plan (IRP).
In a separate proceeding, the commission approved 15 utility pilot projects aimed at
accelerating the transition towards electrified transportation, with particular emphasis on
heavy duty and fleet vehicles. Regulators also authorized PG&E to issue a request for offers
(RFO) for battery storage projects to replace three gas plants that don't have long‐term
contracts but are needed for local reliability.

Subject: RE: Quick Questions
Hi Gregg,
Thank you for raising some of your City Council’s concerns prior to today’s meeting.
Product Mix‐
We are providing our 100% carbon free portfolio primarily with large hydro‐electric power from the Pacific NW. Our
portfolio will have 30% Renewable Energy from “Bucket 1”sourced from RE produced within California or delivering
power directly to CA (wind, solar, biomass). There is no nuclear power or unbundled RECs in our portfolio.
Governance‐
With respect to rates, our Board has full discretion over rate setting so long as we conform to the RPS set by the CPUC.
Our Board has full discretion as to what kind of energy we buy.
With respect to decision‐making authority, if the City of SLO decides to request inclusion in the MBCP program by
submitting a Resolution of Intent to our Policy Board, MBCP staff would make a recommendation to our Board, prior to
the adoption of the Ordinance, that the City of SLO have a permanent seat on Policy Board.
‐Precedent for this was made for the County of San Benito which has a population of less than 50,000. As the City of SLO
is currently the only interested local government in San Luis Obispo County interested in joining at this time, this would
be our recommendation.
Thank you for your interest and consideration.

Hi Tom,
Michael and I are getting some final questions in advance of the presentation tonight and I was hoping you
could assist with answering two related to MBCP:
1. What is current split on large vs. small hydro procurement?
2. What are the policy commitments of MBCP vs the discretion of the governing board? How much could
the board change with respect to rates equaling PG&E, 100% carbon free, etc. Our City Council wants
to know what decision making authority they are giving up by only having a rotating seat and what
commitments from MBCP they can count on.
Please let us know when you get a chance or perhaps have your representative be able to answer at this
afternoon’s hearing. Thanks for all of your help!

Subject: San Luis Obispo ‐ CCEA ‐ follow up
Michael,
Thank you again for inviting us to your City Council meeting to discuss potential on‐ramping with
MBCP.
I was on the phone with Shawn Marshall, CEO, LEAN US inquiring about a possible expedited path
forward before 2‐1‐18 ‐ should your Council have decided to move forward yesterday. As such I missed
the summary decision by your Council.
We certainly understand the difficulty in deciding how to balance expediency and lower cost
implementation with local control, representation and autonomy.
I wanted to confirm my understanding of the final meeting outcome for moving your CCE effort
forward.
From Packet Pg. 18:
A1. The City Council will continue to pursue CCE.
B1,2 and 3. City only; City with others; City with Santa Barbara – All To be explored through an RFP
process (with which you have $25,000 of partial funding to
pursue).
C1. Join MBPC ‐ Not at this time.
D1 a‐e Evaluation Factors. To be worked through prior to or during the RFP process.
Incubator Model
I am glad we were able to broach the incubator model similar to Lancaster City. While this is not
business that MBCP is actively looking to solicit, Tom Habashi reiterated that he would advocate
favorably to our Policy Board should the City of San Luis Obispo inquire about using MBCP’s resources
and infrastructure to help with comprehensive services to support development, financing, launch and
operations. This would require the City of San Luis Obispo to form its own JPA. One potential advantage
to this incubator model as you continue to explore options ‐ is that MBCP would not be looking to take a
percentage of the net revenues as other vendors in the market.
CPUC
The timing of the CPUC Ruling to slow CCE submittals and include a wait period was unfortunate ‐ as this
added an urgency factor that made potential on‐ramping with MBCP more difficult to consider.
We are here to assist you in whatever capacity we can to accelerate your launch and help you achieve
your community’s goals.
Best Regards,
Marc

Subject: CalCCA and City of San Luis Obispo intro re: CPUC proposal to delay CCA process
Hi Greg and Michael,
I joined Jen Cregar on today’s CalCCA call where they discussed the CPUC’s proposed resolution to delay the CCA
formation/process. In short, the CPUC is proposing a 1- to 2-year delay for any new or expanded CCAs. As proposed:
If a CCA submits a new/amended implementation plan by 2/1/18, the earliest the CCA could start/expand service
is 1/1/19.
If a CCA submits a new/amended implementation plan between 2/2/18-12/31/18, the earliest the CCA could
start/expand service is 1/1/20.
Going forward, any CCA that submits a new/amended implementation plan by the end of the current calendar
year could start/expand service on January 1 of the calendar year after next. For example, a CCA that submits an
implementation plan 3/15/19, would have to wait until 1/1/21 to start service.
The CPUC currently plans to take action on the resolution at their 1/11/18 meeting. There is more information attached.
As I understand it, CalCCA is interested in identifying local governments that may be impacted by the CPUC’s proposed
resolution. Given your Council’s action yesterday and given Mayor Harmon’s interest in engaging the CPUC on this issue, I
am connecting you with Beth Vaughan, CalCCA Operations Director, and Hilary Staver, CalCCA Regulatory Committee
Chair. I am hopeful they can provide more information about the proposal and opportunities to influence the CPUC’s
decision.
Beth and Hilary, Greg Hermann and Michael Codron are the CCA staff leads for the City of San Luis Obispo.
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

Subject:CalCCA and City of San Luis Obispo intro re: CPUC proposal to delay CCA process
Attachments:FW: CPUC INformation alert; CCA - New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft
Resolution E-4907
Hi Greg and Michael,
I joined Jen Cregar on today’s CalCCA call where they discussed the CPUC’s proposed resolution to delay the CCA
formation/process. In short, the CPUC is proposing a 1- to 2-year delay for any new or expanded CCAs. As proposed:
If a CCA submits a new/amended implementation plan by 2/1/18, the earliest the CCA could start/expand service
is 1/1/19.
If a CCA submits a new/amended implementation plan between 2/2/18-12/31/18, the earliest the CCA could
start/expand service is 1/1/20.
Going forward, any CCA that submits a new/amended implementation plan by the end of the current calendar
year could start/expand service on January 1 of the calendar year after next. For example, a CCA that submits an
implementation plan 3/15/19, would have to wait until 1/1/21 to start service.
The CPUC currently plans to take action on the resolution at their 1/11/18 meeting. There is more information attached.
As I understand it, CalCCA is interested in identifying local governments that may be impacted by the CPUC’s proposed
resolution. Given your Council’s action yesterday and given Mayor Harmon’s interest in engaging the CPUC on this issue, I

Thanks Tom.
It was great to have your staff present to address questions. Ultimately, our Council decided to pursue
establishing a new CCE, but would move towards joining an existing program if at any point that became
infeasible or impractical.
We will keep you posted on our progress and thank you again for the conversations and assistance to this

We will be willing to have others join when they are ready, although it’s always best to join en masse. There is no size
limit for the agencies to join.
You can always terminate as you see fit as outlined in MBCP’s JPA. To the extent that you are looking for an incubator
approach, that also could be arranged as long as you’re comfortable with the notion that you’ll start as your own CCA

3. If we pursue MBCP, then later our County and all the other cities decide they also want CCE, would MBCP
be open to taking everyone? Or is there a size limit they are targeting? Is it reasonable to think we may get a
stronger voice if we were to join en masse?
I believe you mentioned that the smaller agencies would need to join as a group, but I’m not sure on the size
limit question. We’ve also had a question about the ability to exit the program and reiterated your statement

Hi Tom,
Michael and I are getting some final questions in advance of the presentation tonight and I was hoping you
could assist with answering two related to MBCP:
1. What is current split on large vs. small hydro procurement?
2. What are the policy commitments of MBCP vs the discretion of the governing board? How much could
the board change with respect to rates equaling PG&E, 100% carbon free, etc. Our City Council wants
to know what decision making authority they are giving up by only having a rotating seat and what
commitments from MBCP they can count on.
Please let us know when you get a chance or perhaps have your representative be able to answer at this
afternoon’s hearing. Thanks for all of your help!

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,
Jen

CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
42
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
53
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Michael and Greg,

Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,
Dawn

The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
71
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,
Jen

CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other

I believe you mentioned that the smaller agencies would need to join as a group, but I’m not sure on the size

Michael and I are getting some final questions in advance of the presentation tonight and I was hoping you

1. What is current split on large vs. small hydro procurement?
2. What are the policy commitments of MBCP vs the discretion of the governing board? How much could
the board change with respect to rates equaling PG&E, 100% carbon free, etc. Our City Council wants
to know what decision making authority they are giving up by only having a rotating seat and what
commitments from MBCP they can count on.
Please let us know when you get a chance or perhaps have your representative be able to answer at this
afternoon’s hearing. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Gregg,
Thank you for raising some of your City Council’s concerns prior to today’s meeting.
Product Mix‐
We are providing our 100% carbon free portfolio primarily with large hydro‐electric power from the Pacific NW. Our
portfolio will have 30% Renewable Energy from “Bucket 1”sourced from RE produced within California or delivering
power directly to CA (wind, solar, biomass). There is no nuclear power or unbundled RECs in our portfolio.
Governance‐
With respect to rates, our Board has full discretion over rate setting so long as we conform to the RPS set by the CPUC.
Our Board has full discretion as to what kind of energy we buy.
With respect to decision‐making authority, if the City of SLO decides to request inclusion in the MBCP program by
submitting a Resolution of Intent to our Policy Board, MBCP staff would make a recommendation to our Board, prior to
the adoption of the Ordinance, that the City of SLO have a permanent seat on Policy Board.
‐Precedent for this was made for the County of San Benito which has a population of less than 50,000. As the City of SLO
is currently the only interested local government in San Luis Obispo County interested in joining at this time, this would
be our recommendation.
Thank you for your interest and consideration.

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the
statewide CCA lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In
short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process,
most notably requiring at least a full calendar year between implementation plan submission
and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs. You would be affected
whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into 2019
before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on
1/1/18.
Best,
Jen

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes
to expand CPUC oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions
where implementation plans have not been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs
that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017. It also imposes new requirements regarding the
start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process
concerns with this draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no
opportunity for input from the public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be
discussing our response on Monday and potential actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each
Commissioners (and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would
be for CCA elected officials (or staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The
template to request these meetings is attached, and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also
attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss
potentially using external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let
me/Hilary know if you want to participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged
to participate in person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how
much their local government has spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution
undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next
week. Let Hilary know if you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by
Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,

CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this
morning. This proposed resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would
have impacts on start dates and other key elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision)
to require CCAs to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be
triggered by either the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year
after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next
steps. I just wanted to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Hi Tom,
One more just came in!
3. If we pursue MBCP, then later our County and all the other cities decide they also want CCE, would MBCP
be open to taking everyone? Or is there a size limit they are targeting? Is it reasonable to think we may get a
stronger voice if we were to join en masse?
I believe you mentioned that the smaller agencies would need to join as a group, but I’m not sure on the size
limit question. We’ve also had a question about the ability to exit the program and reiterated your statement
about an interest in long-term partners, but that may come up as well.

2. What are the policy commitments of MBCP vs the discretion of the governing board? How much could
the board change with respect to rates equaling PG&E, 100% carbon free, etc. Our City Council wants
to know what decision making authority they are giving up by only having a rotating seat and what
commitments from MBCP they can count on.
Please let us know when you get a chance or perhaps have your representative be able to answer at this

Also, there was a typo in my email over the weekend. The CPUC plans to vote on this proposal on January 11,

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,
Jen

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
102
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,
Dawn

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

I’m forwarding the information below and attached that was originally distributed by Dawn Weisz, CEO of Marin
Clean Energy and President of the statewide CCA lobbying association CalCCA. This is regarding a major
proposal from the CPUC that would apply to new CCA programs.
Staff will evaluate this information in more detail and be prepared to respond to questions about how this would
apply to, or change the alternatives available to, the City of San Luis Obispo with respect to joining or starting a
new program.
We’ll turn this into Agenda Correspondence first thing Monday so the new info is available to the public.

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
114
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,
Dawn

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,
Jen

Hello Tom,
The study session on Tuesday will be a 90 minute meeting that will include a fairly brief staff presentation and
public comment period. We intend to let the City Council know that there will be many experts in the audience,
including County staff, Jen Kregar from Santa Barbara, local representatives of the SLO Clean Energy group,
and hopefully you will make the trip down, as well.
While we won’t be able to provide an opportunity for you to make a separate presentation, we will look to make
that opportunity available in the future. I would expect that the chances are good the City Council will have
specific questions for you if you are in attendance and provide testimony, but can’t guarantee that will be the
case.
If you decide that it is not worth the trip down to SLO, I completely understand. I really appreciate your
availability to answer questions and discuss the future of CCE for our community.
One question that I have now is, how long do expect MBCP to continue to be open to new partners? Is there a
timeframe in mind, or critical mass you are aiming to achieve? I think the City Council may ask us to pursue
multiple paths, and it would be helpful to know what the timeframe is for a decision to join MBCP.
Thank you! -Michael

Hi AWG,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and CalCCA President, regarding a
major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐track changes to the CCA formation and
expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year between implementation plan
submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs. If the resolution is
adopted, for those looking at joining LACCE or MBCP, this means you would not be able to have your
customers served by either CCA until a year after LACCE/MBCP submits a revised implementation plan that
includes your customers. So, you're likely looking at well into 2019. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution
on 1/1/18.
123
It looks like there will be a call to discuss this Thursday. I plan to participate and will keep you updated. If you'd
also like to participate, I imagine CalCCA would be happy to have you; you just need to contact Hilary Staver
at hilary.staver@svcleanenergy.org and tell her you're part of Central Coast Power.

between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to participate in
person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their local government has
spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local governance of CCA programs.
128
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let Hilary know if
you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your agency would be willing
to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks,
Dawn

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Staff will evaluate this information in more detail and be prepared to respond to questions about how this would
apply to, or change the alternatives available to, the City of San Luis Obispo with respect to joining or starting a
new program.
We’ll turn this into Agenda Correspondence first thing Monday so the new info is available to the public.

Hi AWG,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and CalCCA President, regarding a
major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐track changes to the CCA formation and
expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year between implementation plan
submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs. If the resolution is
adopted, for those looking at joining LACCE or MBCP, this means you would not be able to have your
customers served by either CCA until a year after LACCE/MBCP submits a revised implementation plan that
includes your customers. So, you're likely looking at well into 2019. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution
on 1/1/18.
It looks like there will be a call to discuss this Thursday. I plan to participate and will keep you updated. If you'd
also like to participate, I imagine CalCCA would be happy to have you; you just need to contact Hilary Staver
at hilary.staver@svcleanenergy.org and tell her you're part of Central Coast Power.
Best,
Jen

Hello Tom,
The study session on Tuesday will be a 90 minute meeting that will include a fairly brief staff presentation and
public comment period. We intend to let the City Council know that there will be many experts in the audience,
including County staff, Jen Kregar from Santa Barbara, local representatives of the SLO Clean Energy group,
and hopefully you will make the trip down, as well.
While we won’t be able to provide an opportunity for you to make a separate presentation, we will look to make
that opportunity available in the future. I would expect that the chances are good the City Council will have
specific questions for you if you are in attendance and provide testimony, but can’t guarantee that will be the
case.
If you decide that it is not worth the trip down to SLO, I completely understand. I really appreciate your
availability to answer questions and discuss the future of CCE for our community.
One question that I have now is, how long do expect MBCP to continue to be open to new partners? Is there a
timeframe in mind, or critical mass you are aiming to achieve? I think the City Council may ask us to pursue
multiple paths, and it would be helpful to know what the timeframe is for a decision to join MBCP.
Thank you! -Michael

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide
CCA lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to
fast-track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar
year between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing
CCAs. You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well
into 2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,

Subject: CCA - New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E-4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
147
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to
expand CPUC oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where
implementation plans have not been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file
implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017. It also imposes new requirements regarding the start-date of CCA
programs which impact economics and other timelines.
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process
concerns with this draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no
opportunity for input from the public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our
response on Monday and potential actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each
Commissioners (and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for
CCA elected officials (or staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to
request these meetings is attached, and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially
using external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you
want to participate and if you are able to cost-share.
January 11th CPUC meeting: CCA elected officials, especially for new CCA efforts, could be encouraged to
participate in person at the CPUC meeting to comment on how this would impact their agency, how much their
local government has spent so far to develop their CCA program, and how this resolution undermines local
governance of CCA programs.
Hilary has offered to holding a CalCCA regulatory call for affiliate members on Thursday of next week. Let
Hilary know if you would be interested in participating. Also, please let Hilary know by Monday at 1pm if your
agency would be willing to share the cost of preparing and filing comments.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This
proposed resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start
dates and other key elements of CCA implementation.
148
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to
require CCAs to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans; a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and
the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either the CCA or the utility; a registration packet including a
CCA’s service agreement and bond; and a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January
1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just
wanted to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Subject: FW: Draft Resolution E‐4907 (Re: Registration Process for Community Choice Aggregators)
CalCCA Board,
I am passing along a draft resolution that was just released by Energy Division of the CPUC this morning. This proposed
resolution would impose very concerning requirements on CCAs, and would have impacts on start dates and other key
elements of CCA implementation.
Specifically, the Commission is proposing, VIA RESOLUTION (not via an existing proceeding or decision) to require CCAs
to submit to a process that includes:
a timeline for submission of Implementation Plans;
a requirement to “meet and confer” between the CCA and the incumbent utility that can be triggered by either
the CCA or the utility;
a registration packet including a CCA’s service agreement and bond; and
a Commission authorized date to begin service (i.e. requiring January 1 start date over a year after filing a plan).
This information is being circulated within the Regulatory Committee for analysis and potential next steps. I just wanted
to make sure you were all aware as this is a significant and concerning development.

Michael and Greg,
Please see below and attached for updates from Dawn Weisz, CEO of MCE and President of the statewide CCA
lobbying association CalCCA, regarding a major proposal from the CPUC. In short, the CPUC is trying to fast‐
track changes to the CCA formation and expansion process, most notably requiring at least a full calendar year
between implementation plan submission and service start date for a new CCA or expansions of existing CCAs.
You would be affected whether you start a new CCA or join MBCP. I'd guess you're likely looking at well into
2019 before you could start service in either case. The CPUC plans to vote on the resolution on 1/1/18.
Best,

Subject: CCA ‐ New one year delay proposed by CPUC today via Draft Resolution E‐4907
CalCCA Affiliate Members,
I wanted to make you aware of the resolution (see below and attached) released today, which proposes to expand CPUC
oversight over CCAs and impose a one year delay on new CCAs or CCA expansions where implementation plans have not
been filed as of Dec. 8, 2017, and a two year delay for programs that do not file implementation plans by Dec. 31, 2017.
It also imposes new requirements regarding the start‐date of CCA programs which impact economics and other
timelines.
159
The draft resolution is set to be voted out by the CPUC on Jan. 11th. There are significant due process concerns with this
draft resolution as a factual record has not been established and there has been no opportunity for input from the
public or interested parties. The CalCCA regulatory team will be discussing our response on Monday and potential
actions include:
Requesting Ex. Parte meetings: Affiliate and Operational members can request meetings with each Commissioners
(and/or their staff) and request that they be held prior to Jan. 11th. These meeting would be for CCA elected officials (or
staff) to express concerns and request a ‘no’ vote on the resolution. The template to request these meetings is attached,
and draft talking points to use in the meetings are also attached.
Prepare a response: Responses are due by 12/29. The CalCCA regulatory committee will discuss potentially using
external counsel to draft comments and then all interested parties can sign on. Let me/Hilary know if you want to
participate and if you are able to cost‐share.

Hi Michael
Thanks for the quick reply. It’s likely that I’ll ask one of our new hires to be there to address any questions and perhaps
to make a statement during the public comments period. As for timing to join, you can join when you’re ready. You
should base the timing and the path to CCE on external factors (new legislation, higher bond cost, additional hurdles
that may be imposed by the numerous CPUC proceedings). The size of SLO is large enough to enable you to join solo. For
other smaller cities within the county, it’s likely that we would ask them to join with others to justify the effort taken in
amending the Implementation plan.
Finally, yesterday we had an operation board meeting during which we made a presentation updating the board on our
progress thus far. It took only 15 minutes, so stream it if you like. We plan to make similar presentation to the Policy
Board (our elected officials) on 12/13 which I believe you can stream live. Best of luck next week.

Hello Tom,
The study session on Tuesday will be a 90 minute meeting that will include a fairly brief staff presentation and
public comment period. We intend to let the City Council know that there will be many experts in the audience,
including County staff, Jen Kregar from Santa Barbara, local representatives of the SLO Clean Energy group,
and hopefully you will make the trip down, as well.
While we won’t be able to provide an opportunity for you to make a separate presentation, we will look to make
that opportunity available in the future. I would expect that the chances are good the City Council will have
specific questions for you if you are in attendance and provide testimony, but can’t guarantee that will be the
case.
If you decide that it is not worth the trip down to SLO, I completely understand. I really appreciate your
availability to answer questions and discuss the future of CCE for our community.
One question that I have now is, how long do expect MBCP to continue to be open to new partners? Is there a
timeframe in mind, or critical mass you are aiming to achieve? I think the City Council may ask us to pursue
multiple paths, and it would be helpful to know what the timeframe is for a decision to join MBCP.

Hi Marcus
One option is to write a report that you can attach to your report explaining
1. MBCP progress thus far
177
2. Describing the process to join
3. Describing the policies that our Boards have approved thus far
And any other information that you believe SLO Council will need to make an informed decision.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email. We will be having a study session with our City Council on December 12th and will
have much more detail at that time. I’m hesitant to give a % probability at this time but I’d maybe say 50% at
this time; MBCP is definitely one of the options we will be presenting to the City Council in December.
That said, do you have material you can send me that I can discuss in our staff report or provide as an
attachment to the report so the City Council can get an understanding of the pros, cons, costs, timing, contract,
decision making ability, and etc. of joining MBCP? Let me know and we can talk through it further if needed.
Thanks!!

Hi Marcus
Just checking on any updates regarding the city of SLO’s direction. In 10 days, we are making some key decision on long
term PPA for renewable resources at very attractive price. To the extent that SLO decides to join MBCP, the decision is
likely to be different. I know that you can’t make decisions on behalf of SLO, however, an indication of the likelihood of
joining would be helpful ( % probability should do).

I can't emphasize enough the need to expedite your effort. Both bills that we fought at the end of the last legislative
session are coming back early on in 2018 session (I'm told in February) and that will make things harder for new CCA. I'll
be glad to help in anyway to make your case to your decision makers, just ask.

Hi Chris and Marcus
I can't emphasize enough the need to expedite your effort. Both bills that we fought at the end of the last legislative
session are coming back early on in 2018 session (I'm told in February) and that will make things harder for new CCA. I'll
be glad to help in anyway to make your case to your decision makers, just ask.

One option is to write a report that you can attach to your report explaining
1. MBCP progress thus far
2. Describing the process to join
3. Describing the policies that our Boards have approved thus far
And any other information that you believe SLO Council will need to make an informed decision.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email. We will be having a study session with our City Council on December 12th and will
have much more detail at that time. I’m hesitant to give a % probability at this time but I’d maybe say 50% at
this time; MBCP is definitely one of the options we will be presenting to the City Council in December.
That said, do you have material you can send me that I can discuss in our staff report or provide as an
attachment to the report so the City Council can get an understanding of the pros, cons, costs, timing, contract,
decision making ability, and etc. of joining MBCP? Let me know and we can talk through it further if needed.

Hi Marcus
Just checking on any updates regarding the city of SLO’s direction. In 10 days, we are making some key decision on long
term PPA for renewable resources at very attractive price. To the extent that SLO decides to join MBCP, the decision is
likely to be different. I know that you can’t make decisions on behalf of SLO, however, an indication of the likelihood of
joining would be helpful ( % probability should do).

Hi Marcus
One option is to write a report that you can attach to your report explaining
1. MBCP progress thus far
2. Describing the process to join
3. Describing the policies that our Boards have approved thus far
And any other information that you believe SLO Council will need to make an informed decision.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email. We will be having a study session with our City Council on December 12th and will
have much more detail at that time. I’m hesitant to give a % probability at this time but I’d maybe say 50% at
this time; MBCP is definitely one of the options we will be presenting to the City Council in December.
That said, do you have material you can send me that I can discuss in our staff report or provide as an
attachment to the report so the City Council can get an understanding of the pros, cons, costs, timing, contract,
decision making ability, and etc. of joining MBCP? Let me know and we can talk through it further if needed.
Thanks!!

Hi Marcus
Just checking on any updates regarding the city of SLO’s direction. In 10 days, we are making some key decision on long
term PPA for renewable resources at very attractive price. To the extent that SLO decides to join MBCP, the decision is
likely to be different. I know that you can’t make decisions on behalf of SLO, however, an indication of the likelihood of
joining would be helpful ( % probability should do).

Dear Moderator & Panelists,
Thank you again for joining us for the Community Choice Energy Summit. As we near the event date, I

Hi Marcus
One option is to write a report that you can attach to your report explaining
1. MBCP progress thus far
2. Describing the process to join
3. Describing the policies that our Boards have approved thus far
And any other information that you believe SLO Council will need to make an informed decision.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your email. We will be having a study session with our City Council on December 12th and will
have much more detail at that time. I’m hesitant to give a % probability at this time but I’d maybe say 50% at
this time; MBCP is definitely one of the options we will be presenting to the City Council in December.
That said, do you have material you can send me that I can discuss in our staff report or provide as an
attachment to the report so the City Council can get an understanding of the pros, cons, costs, timing, contract,
decision making ability, and etc. of joining MBCP? Let me know and we can talk through it further if needed.
Thanks!!

Hi Marcus
Just checking on any updates regarding the city of SLO’s direction. In 10 days, we are making some key decision on long
term PPA for renewable resources at very attractive price. To the extent that SLO decides to join MBCP, the decision is

likely to be different. I know that you can’t make decisions on behalf of SLO, however, an indication of the likelihood of
joining would be helpful ( % probability should do).

Hi Chris and Marcus
235
I can't emphasize enough the need to expedite your effort. Both bills that we fought at the end of the last legislative
session are coming back early on in 2018 session (I'm told in February) and that will make things harder for new CCA. I'll
be glad to help in anyway to make your case to your decision makers, just ask.

Hi Tom,
Do you have availability this week to discuss MBCP and the City of San Luis Obispo? We’re scheduled for a
study session with our City Council in December. Chris has filled me in on the possibility of joining MBCP and it
would be great to talk specifics. Thank you for your time!

Hi Chris and Marcus
I can't emphasize enough the need to expedite your effort. Both bills that we fought at the end of the last legislative
session are coming back early on in 2018 session (I'm told in February) and that will make things harder for new CCA. I'll
be glad to help in anyway to make your case to your decision makers, just ask.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply! I’m hoping to have our Assistant City Manager on the call and am coordinating with
his schedule. Thursday is pretty tight except for a 30 minutes block at 3:30pm. There is also availability
tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. or 2pm if that works for you. Let me know. Thanks!
