I took a quick scan and think it is on the right track. Thanks for sharing JR. I also don’t think you need to spend
a bunch of time formatting, it will work as is.

Subject: Engagement with City/County staff and Monterey Bay Community Power
Hi All,
Monterey Bay Community Power is hoping to develop a better working relationship with the key staff at the now 21
local governments (MBCP is enrolling San Luis Obispo & Morro Bay in 2020) that comprise our collective joint powers
authority. Since you all are working on projects, programs and opportunities which are consistent with MBCP’s mission
5
and goals, I wanted to extend the opportunity to set up an informational webinar to share updates and opportunities
from MBCP as well as solicit input and recommendations from you on MBCP’s energy programs.
I recognize each of you have very busy schedules so I want to be conscious of being efficient with your time.
Here would be the draft agenda for the webinar:
Introductions
Review of MBCP progress to date
Update on MBCP Energy Programs
Best ways to solicit input/recommendations for FY 19/20 Energy Programs
Q&A
We would also welcome any feedback or items to add to the agenda.
If you all think this is a productive use of your time, we could have a standing monthly or every other month webinar to
capture our member agency’s needs for MBCP’s Energy Programs as well as additional opportunities.
Here is the Doodle Poll for some available times. Please forward on to another colleague at your city or county if that
staff member would be a better fit or interesting in engaging with us.
Thanks again and please contact me with any questions or suggestions.
Best,

Thank you for providing this description of the potential services you offer and associated costs. We will confer

We work closely with a community advisory group. Should we consider this description of potential services

Hi Chris,
Feedback from Peninsula Clean Energy:
The piggyback clause (in the contract) is for any public agency. It creates the option of an agency to bypass the RFP
process and make it eligible to contract under the same terms. However, our contract is structured on the basis of a
multi agency process so a single city is far narrower so what “same price” means is really about the hourly rates. SLO’s
overall scope will need to be defined but I would recommend structuring the SOW similarly (in the unlikely event it’s
challenged). It’ll just be fewer hours and with some tasks likely removed.
SLO should reach out to Catherine as to whether TRC is willing to engage on the basis of substantially similar terms.

Hi Bruce and Tom,
Are you two available to potentially present/connect with the City Managers of San Luis Obispo County on Friday 3/15 at
8 am? That is the next monthly meeting and this could mean we could go down on Thursday 3/14 and allow for you both
to connect with elected officials.

Subject:RESEND: Roadmap, White papers, 1477, IEPR and More!
I apologize for the repeat. Apparently some people's spam filter caught the email from last week when everyone was
BCC'ed. Hopefully this works better.
Original email sent Friday February 1st at 7:26 am PST:
28
Dear Coalition,
This email contains updates on six items today:
1. The release of the Roadmap
2. The release of the Policy White Paper
3. The opening of the Senate Bill (SB) 1477 proceeding
4. The release of the final draft on the California Energy Commission’s Integrated Energy Policy Report
5. The release of the Consumer Research and Education Campaign RFP
6. Looking forward to working together in 2019
Roadmap
Thanks to all of your hard work our Roadmap for the decarbonization of California’s buildings is now complete
and ready to be released. This document lays out the case for decarbonization, suggests goals for the building
sector if California is going to meet its overall climate targets, identifies barriers, offers actions and identifies a
few case studies to highlight promising solutions.
Please find the roadmap here.
The plan is to release it on February 12th with briefings for policy makers and market actors just before and
after the release.
Please note on page two that we included a statement that acknowledges that every member of the Coalition
may not agree with every piece of the Roadmap. We included this to recognize the healthy debates we have
had over the last few months and that while we may all agree on the desire to decarbonize, we may not
embrace every strategy or approach in the document.
The Roadmap was a lift to get done and your participation is much appreciated. I look forward to working on
the market transformation activities (see 2019 activities below) with you now that we have finished this phase.
Policy White Papers
The Policy white papers were released on January 29. They are being well received by those stakeholders and
policymakers we have shared them with and we hope to have an influence on the conversation around SB
1477 implementation and other policy efforts this year.
You should have received an invitation from me for a webinar on the 4th of February to engage in a
conversation about the scope and direction of our next policy white paper. This paper will offer some concrete
recommendations to public entities adopting decarbonization policies and will benefit from your input. We will
have three total webinars on these white papers and then drafts for your review and comment to ensure that
your input is heard and included.
SB 1477
On the 31st of January the California Public Utilities Commission opened the rule-making for the
implementation of SB 1477. We are very enthused by the proposed Order Instituting Rulemaking’s scope and
the CPUC press release. The approach mirrors our white paper recommendations in a variety of places
including expanding the scope of the rulemaking beyond the legislation’s text.
In addition to SB 1477 implementation, which will make available $200 million over 4-years for low- to no-
emission technologies, the OIR suggests to include an additional (above and beyond the $200 million) focus
on programs to help wildfire stricken areas, activities that can support the California Energy Commission’s
building and appliance standards development process and then a catch-all category titled “Building
Decarbonization Policy Development” in which the Commission would consider any and all policies and
programs the State could consider to reduce emissions from buildings.
29
This is a very exciting start to the proceeding and sets the stage for us to explore the full-range of good ideas
in the White papers and as participants in the proceeding. The Coalition is a 501c3, so we will not be an
intervenor in this or any other proceeding, but we will discuss issues, offer white papers and help Coalition
members think through the issues if they choose to formally take part in the proceeding.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, a member of the Coalition and sponsor of SB 1477, will be holding a
webinar about the proceeding on February 13, 10am – 11:30am (PST). Details forthcoming.
Integrated Energy Policy Report
Every year the California Energy Commission produces a wide-ranging energy policy report outlining key
issues and making recommendations. This document is the Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR). On
Monday the CEC released the final draft of the 2018 IEPR and does it look good. The report’s first chapter is
on building decarbonization and the 35 pages are a comprehensive review of the topic, recent studies, areas of
dispute and recommendations (Page 47). It aligns well with our White papers and Roadmap and is quite
promising for our efforts moving forward. The Commission will vote to approve this report on February 20th.
The release of the Consumer Research and Education Campaign RFP
As discussed in previous updates the Coalition and a group of funding members will be releasing an RFP to
hire an advertising and media agency to help in the development of a State-wide consumer education
campaign. The RFP for this can be found here and will be released February 5th. We are excited about this
effort and welcome any questions or suggestions you have. We will be reaching out to you once the contract
is awarded to an agency to ask if you have done any consumer market research around electrification that we
can add to the research part of the contract.
2019
I am very excited about the good work that we will be doing together in 2019. The Roadmapping process
allowed us to collaboratively uncover what would be the most impactful activities to work on to advance the
field. To that end we have a prepared a proposed work plan for 2019 that can be found here. It is broken into
five work streams: Market Transformation, Consumer Inspiration, Public Policy, Research and Governance,
which includes establishing an advisory body and a structured membership program.
The implementation of SB 1477 and the plan that the California Energy Commission will lay out under the
direction of Assembly Bill 3232 this year will provide a strong framework for California’s efforts. The Coalition
plan for 2019 should build off of that to strike at key leverage points to increase demand for and supply of
decarbonization solutions.
We would welcome questions and conversations on the proposed plan and look forward to working on the
various components with each and all of you.
Yours in decarbonizing,

Positive news indeed. Thanks again for the advocacy. It really does help drive home these efforts.
I can certainly follow up with the City Manager about those questions from Council and help clarify. I think I know what

Subject: Pismo Beach updat
Three of us spoke at the goal setting meeting. June and I utilized the material provided by MPCP. The specific benefit
estimate was very effective.
The result was that Community Choice was rated and ranked as an “other important goal” which means that they will
work on it this year. The City Manager said he would study it and prepare a report. I trust that SLO City staff can
reach out and support his efforts and guide him to the correct conclusion.
The voting was interesting two council members gave it a 4(highest score) one gave it a 3 and the mayor and a council
person that usually follows his lead gave it a 0.
The Mayor(ex PGE) stated that he read the business plan for MBCP and was concerned that the PB would be funding
building assets that they would not really benefit from and that Marin County was a shell company and a fraud. There
was no opportunity to respond.
While it looks like we will have the votes, it would be good to respond to these comments before they spread.
J.R. Do you have any idea what the Mayor is talking about?

Re: time and cost, I think J.R. is right that it wouldn’t exceed $20k in direct costs (that was shared cost for SLO
and MB, but we had already purchased data from PGE, which I think is in the $2k range). I’d agree that staff
report and resolution/ordinance writing is minimal, but realistically, there is staff time to get it right, get Council
up to speed, etc. I would guess each City would have 3-4 Council meetings prior to joining (e.g., meeting 1:
study session, meeting 2: introduce ordinance a resolution, meeting 3: second reading of ordinance; meeting
4: agreement on board representation). I can also imagine some extended City Attorney’s Office time. These
are new concepts with big $$$ values attached to them – that makes attorneys nervous; this can have
additional costs for cities that contract out their attorneys. Then there is the issue of board representation… if
they are sending staff or council members to Monterey (or even to a remote location, like SLO City Hall), that
can be 8 or so hours a month/quarter.
All that said, relative to the magnitude of benefit, the direct and staff time costs are extremely small.
Hope that helps!

Hi All,
Attached are two pieces of collateral that may be helpful for Pismo Beach.
In terms of time commitment and cost, I’d say a few hours for the staff report and maybe a couple more for the
resolution/ordinance but this has been streamlined with SLO/MB. Additional time commitment could be in hosting a
community workshop or other marketing activities but MBCP is prepared to cover any of those related marketing
expenses. As far as the cost to join, usually it is around $20k to update the implementation plan/JPA agreement for the
CPUC but that is definitely negotiable if all communities come on board. Chris – is that your understanding as well? It will
be good to get your time commitment etc as well as cost.
In terms of energy programs, MBCP is focusing on electrifying the transportation and built environment sectors as well
as supporting distributed energy resources. MBCP currently sets aside 2% of gross revenue to programs which is about
$4.5 million per year but that will continue to grow as more communities join and we achieve our reserve target so we
hope to increase that amount considerably. Currently, MBCP has two programs for this fiscal year which support solar
on affordable housing and incentives for electric vehicles.
June – please do copy me on your correspondence with the Pismo Beach council members in case there are additional
questions.
Hope that helps. I’m stepping out for a few meetings until 2 pm.

Hi John,
Technically, yes, if the city gave ample notice before any power contracts were entered into on behalf of those customers,
then the financial impact would be significantly less.
All of us at MBCP do want to make abundantly clear that we want new communities to see the benefits and value of this
agency and the program. If there is any hesitation on behalf of a council, then the council should take the time to
investigate and make a collective decision to join or not join. Our goal is to never have a city join and then back out. If this
provision is an issue and possibly something the city would use in the future for whatever reason, we suggest they don’t
move forward. Not one city or council or town in California within the 19 plus CCAs has ever withdrew. This is a long term
commitment where the benefits will continue to grow year over year.
Here is some preliminary analysis in terms of the MBCP rebate for Pismo Beach Customers
Assumptions
47
95% load enrollment or estimated 52 GWhs (52 million kWhs)
40% residential load and 60% commercial load (this is a guess – the SLO 2018 RFP didn’t breakdown the
electricity consumption of the other communities into res or non-res)
Analysis
Scenario 1 (3% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $46,637
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non-res customers = $80,962
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $127,600
Scenario 2 (4% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $62,183
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non-res customers = $107,949
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $170,133
If this provision does prevent the council from moving forward, they will in effect deny their constituents the opportunity to
save between $127k to $170k on an annual basis and this doesn’t factor in that our rates most likely will decrease as well.
Thanks again for your questions and advocacy, please let me know if you have any more questions or need additional
support.

Subject: RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
Hi All,
Here is our response.
The withdrawal provision and associated financial implications are put in place as a protective mechanism for existing JPA
members to avoid incurring adverse market conditions for entering into contracts on behalf of the incoming customer
base. If the new JPA member decided to exit the JPA after contracts were entered into on behalf of its customers, then
the associated cost would be related to the contracts MBCP entered into, how much those contracts would cost based on
market decisions and thus the delta between purchase price and sale price would be the financial cost as well as any
additional fees related to amending the JPA etc. Ultimately, each customer has the decision to not enroll in MBCP and
stay with PG&E bundled service as that is the new choice the customer did not have before the CCA model. If the
customer does opt out then they will not receive the 3% rebate which will increase each year as well as not have access
to program dollars that will be invested in the region for the long term. Finally, MBCP is expected to reach its reserve
target in the next 12 to 18 months or possibly sooner so if and when a community in SLO County decides to join, their
rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you! Choice
is the driving component.
On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re-invest in the region. Any doubters about
the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on the T&D
side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a bundled
customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

To answer your question re: how we thought about this: We appreciated that there is a provision for exiting and were
realistic about the fact that MBCP, and by extension, its customers, were purchasing future power on our behalf and that it
is reasonable that there is a process for resolving covering costs should they be incurred due to our leaving. I can talk
more if you want, but it was hard for us to envision a scenario where we would have to leave right away and therefore
expose ourselves to those costs.

I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is
protection mechanism for the existing JPA members so that they aren’t on the hook or the existing customer base to incur
cost for a JPA member wanting to leave. This is a commitment for the long run.
More to come later.
Thanks so much,

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw from
MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow evening. Can
you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a community that
wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is optional
... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the community
a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.
Eric

Hi All,
52
Thanks again for the productive call today. It really was helpful to learn more about how much local knowledge and
resources are available to move forward the CCA model in SLO County and beyond.
Next steps
1. Rob, Chris & Eric will send over upcoming opportunities to engage remaining jurisdictions in SLO and in Santa
Barbara.
2. Bob will reach out to Derek to help facilitate MBCP’s presentation at March City Manager’s meeting and
potentially the March Mayor’s/City Manager’s meeting.
3. Can folks send me any outstanding questions from Council members so we can circulate common talking points?
Eric – this will be an opportunity to share with the group the questions you sent to me as well as any others that
need to be addressed collectively.
4. MBCP will put together a draft strategy plan for the team’s review in 2 weeks.
5. MBCP will put together a draft 2-pager for inclusion for remaining jurisdictions including potential economic
benefits and GHG reductions to review in 2 weeks.
6. The group will meet every two weeks to discuss strategy and timing events/opportunities.
If I missed anything, please let me know.
Additionally, MBCP has submitted a letter of support for Castle Wind LLC efforts for offshore wind development via
the BOEM lease auction process. Attached is that letter.
Today was a great start and we greatly appreciate all the time, energy and commitment to making MBCP a
successful model for the remaining jurisdictions in SLO and potentially in Santa Barbara.
All the best,

Hi Heater,
My apologies for the late response. I sent notifications out to all individuals listed below via my SouthTech Systems.
Derek and Andy have filed their assuming office statements but I still need the filings from Heidi and Bob. I just sent
Bob’s today so perhaps a reminder to Heide would help or should I just resend the notifications?
Also, I’ll start looking at who needs to file their AB1234 training cert too. Those don’t need as quick of a response as the
law gives them a year to file (oddly) but of course it’s good to have them in as soon as possible. Let me know if you have

Hi Heather, I have an electronic system that would notify them when entered into the system. Andy received hers
because she has already filed her Assuming and AB1234 training cert. Heidi should have her notification as well but
Derek and Bob were just appointed so I haven’t had time to get them in yet since last week. I’m working from home
today with limited access but I’ll get everyone in my system by tomorrow.
What I’ll need from everyone is an Assuming Office statement and AB1234 training cert. Derek still needs to be sworn‐in
too. I can do that over the phone…the others already took their oath. Hope that helps.

Subject:RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
Attachments:2018 Year In Review.pdf; MBCP Energy Programs Flyer.pdf
Hi All,
Attached are two pieces of collateral that may be helpful for Pismo Beach.
In terms of time commitment and cost, I’d say a few hours for the staff report and maybe a couple more for the
resolution/ordinance but this has been streamlined with SLO/MB. Additional time commitment could be in hosting a
community workshop or other marketing activities but MBCP is prepared to cover any of those related marketing
expenses. As far as the cost to join, usually it is around $20k to update the implementation plan/JPA agreement for the
CPUC but that is definitely negotiable if all communities come on board. Chris – is that your understanding as well? It will
be good to get your time commitment etc as well as cost.
In terms of energy programs, MBCP is focusing on electrifying the transportation and built environment sectors as well
as supporting distributed energy resources. MBCP currently sets aside 2% of gross revenue to programs which is about
$4.5 million per year but that will continue to grow as more communities join and we achieve our reserve target so we
hope to increase that amount considerably. Currently, MBCP has two programs for this fiscal year which support solar
on affordable housing and incentives for electric vehicles.
June – please do copy me on your correspondence with the Pismo Beach council members in case there are additional
questions.
Hope that helps. I’m stepping out for a few meetings until 2 pm.
Best,
J.R. Killigrew, Director of Communications & Energy Programs

Hi All,
I will attend the Pismo meeting tomorrow at Inn at the Pier at 10:00am. Eric is not available but would you like to attend,
John? Public comment will be allowed.
I am also going to send your specific input to the city council members today, J.R. Chris and/or J.R., can you provide me
with a rough estimate of staff time and other costs to join MBCP that I can include?
Thank you for anyinformation you can send to me on such short notice. I would like to send my message out by 2:00
today so they have some time to digest it.

Hi John,
Technically, yes, if the city gave ample notice before any power contracts were entered into on behalf of those customers,
then the financial impact would be significantly less.
All of us at MBCP do want to make abundantly clear that we want new communities to see the benefits and value of this
agency and the program. If there is any hesitation on behalf of a council, then the council should take the time to
investigate and make a collective decision to join or not join. Our goal is to never have a city join and then back out. If this
provision is an issue and possibly something the city would use in the future for whatever reason, we suggest they don’t
move forward. Not one city or council or town in California within the 19 plus CCAs has ever withdrew. This is a long term
commitment where the benefits will continue to grow year over year.
Here is some preliminary analysis in terms of the MBCP rebate for Pismo Beach Customers
Assumptions
95% load enrollment or estimated 52 GWhs (52 million kWhs)
40% residential load and 60% commercial load (this is a guess – the SLO 2018 RFP didn’t breakdown the
electricity consumption of the other communities into res or non-res)
Analysis
Scenario 1 (3% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $46,637
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non-res customers = $80,962
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $127,600
Scenario 2 (4% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $62,183
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non-res customers = $107,949
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $170,133
89
If this provision does prevent the council from moving forward, they will in effect deny their constituents the opportunity to
save between $127k to $170k on an annual basis and this doesn’t factor in that our rates most likely will decrease as well.
Thanks again for your questions and advocacy, please let me know if you have any more questions or need additional
support.

Subject: RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
Hi All,
Here is our response.
The withdrawal provision and associated financial implications are put in place as a protective mechanism for existing JPA
members to avoid incurring adverse market conditions for entering into contracts on behalf of the incoming customer
91
base. If the new JPA member decided to exit the JPA after contracts were entered into on behalf of its customers, then
the associated cost would be related to the contracts MBCP entered into, how much those contracts would cost based on
market decisions and thus the delta between purchase price and sale price would be the financial cost as well as any
additional fees related to amending the JPA etc. Ultimately, each customer has the decision to not enroll in MBCP and
stay with PG&E bundled service as that is the new choice the customer did not have before the CCA model. If the
customer does opt out then they will not receive the 3% rebate which will increase each year as well as not have access
to program dollars that will be invested in the region for the long term. Finally, MBCP is expected to reach its reserve
target in the next 12 to 18 months or possibly sooner so if and when a community in SLO County decides to join, their
rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you! Choice
is the driving component.
On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re-invest in the region. Any doubters about
the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on the T&D
side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a bundled
customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

Hi Eric,
I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw from
MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow evening. Can
you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a community that
wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is optional
... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the community
a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.

decides to join, their rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you!
Choice is the driving component.
On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re‐invest in the region. Any doubters
about the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on
the T&D side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a
bundled customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

Hi Eric,
I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is
protection mechanism for the existing JPA members so that they aren’t on the hook or the existing customer base to
incur cost for a JPA member wanting to leave. This is a commitment for the long run.
More to come later.

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw
from MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow
evening. Can you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a
community that wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is
optional ... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the
community a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.

Next steps
1. Rob, Chris & Eric will send over upcoming opportunities to engage remaining jurisdictions in SLO and in Santa
Barbara.
2. Bob will reach out to Derek to help facilitate MBCP’s presentation at March City Manager’s meeting and
potentially the March Mayor’s/City Manager’s meeting.
3. Can folks send me any outstanding questions from Council members so we can circulate common talking points?
Eric – this will be an opportunity to share with the group the questions you sent to me as well as any others
that need to be addressed collectively.
4. MBCP will put together a draft strategy plan for the team’s review in 2 weeks.
5. MBCP will put together a draft 2‐pager for inclusion for remaining jurisdictions including potential economic
benefits and GHG reductions to review in 2 weeks.
6. The group will meet every two weeks to discuss strategy and timing events/opportunities.
If I missed anything, please let me know.
Additionally, MBCP has submitted a letter of support for Castle Wind LLC efforts for offshore wind development via
the BOEM lease auction process. Attached is that letter.
Today was a great start and we greatly appreciate all the time, energy and commitment to making MBCP a
successful model for the remaining jurisdictions in SLO and potentially in Santa Barbara.
All the best,

Subject:RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
Hi John,
Technically, yes, if the city gave ample notice before any power contracts were entered into on behalf of those
customers, then the financial impact would be significantly less.
All of us at MBCP do want to make abundantly clear that we want new communities to see the benefits and value of this
agency and the program. If there is any hesitation on behalf of a council, then the council should take the time to
investigate and make a collective decision to join or not join. Our goal is to never have a city join and then back out. If
this provision is an issue and possibly something the city would use in the future for whatever reason, we suggest they
don’t move forward. Not one city or council or town in California within the 19 plus CCAs has ever withdrew. This is a
long term commitment where the benefits will continue to grow year over year.
Here is some preliminary analysis in terms of the MBCP rebate for Pismo Beach Customers
Assumptions
‐ 95% load enrollment or estimated 52 GWhs (52 million kWhs)
‐ 40% residential load and 60% commercial load (this is a guess – the SLO 2018 RFP didn’t breakdown the
electricity consumption of the other communities into res or non‐res)
Analysis
‐ Scenario 1 (3% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $46,637
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non‐res customers = $80,962
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $127,600
‐ Scenario 2 (4% rebate)
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP res customers = $62,183
o Est. annual rebate for all MBCP non‐res customers = $107,949
o Est. total annual rebate for all MBCP Pismo Beach customers = $170,133
If this provision does prevent the council from moving forward, they will in effect deny their constituents the
opportunity to save between $127k to $170k on an annual basis and this doesn’t factor in that our rates most likely will
decrease as well.
Thanks again for your questions and advocacy, please let me know if you have any more questions or need additional
support.
Best,

Subject: RE: MBCP Strategy Check‐In
Hi All,
Here is our response.
123
The withdrawal provision and associated financial implications are put in place as a protective mechanism for existing
JPA members to avoid incurring adverse market conditions for entering into contracts on behalf of the incoming
customer base. If the new JPA member decided to exit the JPA after contracts were entered into on behalf of its
customers, then the associated cost would be related to the contracts MBCP entered into, how much those contracts
would cost based on market decisions and thus the delta between purchase price and sale price would be the financial
cost as well as any additional fees related to amending the JPA etc. Ultimately, each customer has the decision to not
enroll in MBCP and stay with PG&E bundled service as that is the new choice the customer did not have before the CCA
model. If the customer does opt out then they will not receive the 3% rebate which will increase each year as well as not
have access to program dollars that will be invested in the region for the long term. Finally, MBCP is expected to reach
its reserve target in the next 12 to 18 months or possibly sooner so if and when a community in SLO County decides to
join, their rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you!
Choice is the driving component.
On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re‐invest in the region. Any doubters
about the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on the
T&D side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a bundled
customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is
protection mechanism for the existing JPA members so that they aren’t on the hook or the existing customer base to
incur cost for a JPA member wanting to leave. This is a commitment for the long run.
More to come later.
Thanks so much,

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw
from MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow
evening. Can you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a
community that wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is optional
... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the community
a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.

Hi Heater,
My apologies for the late response. I sent notifications out to all individuals listed below via my SouthTech Systems.
Derek and Andy have filed their assuming office statements but I still need the filings from Heidi and Bob. I just sent
Bob’s today so perhaps a reminder to Heide would help or should I just resend the notifications?
Also, I’ll start looking at who needs to file their AB1234 training cert too. Those don’t need as quick of a response as the

Subject: RE: MBCP Strategy Check‐In
Hi All,
Here is our response.
The withdrawal provision and associated financial implications are put in place as a protective mechanism for existing
JPA members to avoid incurring adverse market conditions for entering into contracts on behalf of the incoming
customer base. If the new JPA member decided to exit the JPA after contracts were entered into on behalf of its
customers, then the associated cost would be related to the contracts MBCP entered into, how much those contracts
would cost based on market decisions and thus the delta between purchase price and sale price would be the financial
cost as well as any additional fees related to amending the JPA etc. Ultimately, each customer has the decision to not
enroll in MBCP and stay with PG&E bundled service as that is the new choice the customer did not have before the CCA
model. If the customer does opt out then they will not receive the 3% rebate which will increase each year as well as not
137
have access to program dollars that will be invested in the region for the long term. Finally, MBCP is expected to reach
its reserve target in the next 12 to 18 months or possibly sooner so if and when a community in SLO County decides to
join, their rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you!
Choice is the driving component.
On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re‐invest in the region. Any doubters
about the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on the
T&D side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a bundled
customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

To answer your question re: how we thought about this: We appreciated that there is a provision for exiting and
were realistic about the fact that MBCP, and by extension, its customers, were purchasing future power on our
behalf and that it is reasonable that there is a process for resolving covering costs should they be incurred due
to our leaving. I can talk more if you want, but it was hard for us to envision a scenario where we would have to
leave right away and therefore expose ourselves to those costs.

On a side note, MBCP is in a tremendous financial position and we probably will be the CCA to reach its reserve target
the fastest and therefore, we can really open up the community pocketbook to re‐invest in the region. Any doubters
about the model will end up paying significantly more with PG&E. Also, with any of the pending issues with PG&E on the
142
T&D side, MBCP is the only option to help reduce generation rates to mitigate against the T&D side. If you’re a bundled
customer, you are stuck with an ever increasing electric bill with no choice, no voice and no savings.

Hi Eric,
I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is
protection mechanism for the existing JPA members so that they aren’t on the hook or the existing customer base to
incur cost for a JPA member wanting to leave. This is a commitment for the long run.
More to come later.

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw
from MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow
evening. Can you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a
community that wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is optional
... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the community
a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.
Eric

Hi All,
Thanks again for the productive call today. It really was helpful to learn more about how much local knowledge and
resources are available to move forward the CCA model in SLO County and beyond.
Next steps
1. Rob, Chris & Eric will send over upcoming opportunities to engage remaining jurisdictions in SLO and in Santa
Barbara.
2. Bob will reach out to Derek to help facilitate MBCP’s presentation at March City Manager’s meeting and
potentially the March Mayor’s/City Manager’s meeting.
3. Can folks send me any outstanding questions from Council members so we can circulate common talking points?
Eric – this will be an opportunity to share with the group the questions you sent to me as well as any others
that need to be addressed collectively.
4. MBCP will put together a draft strategy plan for the team’s review in 2 weeks.

5. MBCP will put together a draft 2‐pager for inclusion for remaining jurisdictions including potential economic
benefits and GHG reductions to review in 2 weeks.
6. The group will meet every two weeks to discuss strategy and timing events/opportunities.
If I missed anything, please let me know.
Additionally, MBCP has submitted a letter of support for Castle Wind LLC efforts for offshore wind development via
the BOEM lease auction process. Attached is that letter.
Today was a great start and we greatly appreciate all the time, energy and commitment to making MBCP a successful
model for the remaining jurisdictions in SLO and potentially in Santa Barbara.

Subject:RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
Hi All,
Here is our response.
The withdrawal provision and associated financial implications are put in place as a protective mechanism for existing
JPA members to avoid incurring adverse market conditions for entering into contracts on behalf of the incoming
customer base. If the new JPA member decided to exit the JPA after contracts were entered into on behalf of its
customers, then the associated cost would be related to the contracts MBCP entered into, how much those contracts
would cost based on market decisions and thus the delta between purchase price and sale price would be the financial
cost as well as any additional fees related to amending the JPA etc. Ultimately, each customer has the decision to not
enroll in MBCP and stay with PG&E bundled service as that is the new choice the customer did not have before the CCA
model. If the customer does opt out then they will not receive the 3% rebate which will increase each year as well as not
have access to program dollars that will be invested in the region for the long term. Finally, MBCP is expected to reach
its reserve target in the next 12 to 18 months or possibly sooner so if and when a community in SLO County decides to
join, their rates will be considering lower than they are now.
I hope this helps provide the direct response and I completely agree with your additional context, Eric. Thank you!
Choice is the driving component.

Subject:RE: MBCP Strategy Check-In
To answer your question re: how we thought about this: We appreciated that there is a provision for exiting and
were realistic about the fact that MBCP, and by extension, its customers, were purchasing future power on our
behalf and that it is reasonable that there is a process for resolving covering costs should they be incurred due
to our leaving. I can talk more if you want, but it was hard for us to envision a scenario where we would have to
leave right away and therefore expose ourselves to those costs.

Subject: RE: MBCP Strategy Check‐In
Hi Eric,
I’ll respond later today. Those questions are reasonable but again, I recognize the “fear” around this provision but it is
protection mechanism for the existing JPA members so that they aren’t on the hook or the existing customer base to
incur cost for a JPA member wanting to leave. This is a commitment for the long run.
More to come later.
Thanks so much,

Hi J.R.
Thanks for this.
We are happy to refer the electeds with questions to speak with you. However, this question about cost to withdraw
from MBCP is time sensitive in that the Pismo City Council is having their final goal setting meeting tomorrow
evening. Can you please provide some insight into the withdrawal provision of the JPA and the financial exposure a
community that wants to withdraw would have? Chris, how was this provision considered by SLO City and Morro Bay?
One thought I have as a partial response is that participation by any business, resident, or municipal customer is optional
... anyone can opt out of service and return to PG&E. Participation in MBCP as a community simply gives the community
a choice of a local service provider that they didn't have before.
Do you have a more direct response to the withdrawal question?
Thank you.
Eric

Hi All,
Thanks again for the productive call today. It really was helpful to learn more about how much local knowledge and
resources are available to move forward the CCA model in SLO County and beyond.
Next steps
1. Rob, Chris & Eric will send over upcoming opportunities to engage remaining jurisdictions in SLO and in Santa
Barbara.
2. Bob will reach out to Derek to help facilitate MBCP’s presentation at March City Manager’s meeting and
potentially the March Mayor’s/City Manager’s meeting.
3. Can folks send me any outstanding questions from Council members so we can circulate common talking points?
Eric – this will be an opportunity to share with the group the questions you sent to me as well as any others
that need to be addressed collectively.
4. MBCP will put together a draft strategy plan for the team’s review in 2 weeks.
5. MBCP will put together a draft 2‐pager for inclusion for remaining jurisdictions including potential economic
benefits and GHG reductions to review in 2 weeks.
6. The group will meet every two weeks to discuss strategy and timing events/opportunities.
If I missed anything, please let me know.
Additionally, MBCP has submitted a letter of support for Castle Wind LLC efforts for offshore wind development via the
BOEM lease auction process. Attached is that letter.

Today was a great start and we greatly appreciate all the time, energy and commitment to making MBCP a successful
model for the remaining jurisdictions in SLO and potentially in Santa Barbara.

PG&E bankruptcy: Utility seeks to pay $130 million in bonuses, void green energy contracts
Mercury News
Tucked inside PG&E’s mammoth bankruptcy filing is a company request that the judge in the case approve payment of
$130 million in cash incentive bonuses to thousands of PG&E employees, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court records
made public on Tuesday. The San Francisco‐based utility launched a full‐scale quest in the bankruptcy court to assure
that the company can continue with the short‐term incentive programs for 14,000 employees.

California Lawmakers Vow To Keep Electricity Affordable As PG&E Declares Bankruptcy
Capital Public Radio
California lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom say they’ll work to ensure the state’s electric service is safe, reliable and
affordable while PG&E navigates through bankruptcy. The investor‐owned utility formally filed for Chapter 11 protection
early Tuesday morning. “That was PG&E’s choice,” Newsom said in a statement on Tuesday, which was his only public
comment on the matter, “but it does not change my focus, which remains protecting the best interests of the people of
California.” http://www.capradio.org/129709

PG&E violated probation after it was implicated in Honey Fire, judge rules
Politico California Pro
Pacific Gas and Electric Corp. violated probation by not properly flagging state findings that its equipment sparked a
small 2017 Butte County fire, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled this morning.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection determined in May that PG&E power lines were responsible
for starting the Honey Fire, along with three other blazes, in Butte and Nevada counties in October 2017.
Alsup is the federal judge overseeing PG&E's criminal probation stemming from the 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline
explosion. He held proceedings today in San Francisco to examine whether PG&E properly notified the probation office
when it was implicated in the Honey Fire and to consider a safety plan that would require the utility to inspect and trim
trees along its 130,000‐mile network of power lines.
Alsup said he will determine sentencing for the violation at a later date.
Cal Fire found that the Honey Fire began when an oak tree branch hit PG&E power lines and that the utility violated
state law by not maintaining "adequate clearance." The misdemeanor allegation was sent to the Butte County District
Attorney's Office, which ultimately settled with PG&E in October 2018 for $1.5 million that funds additional safety
inspections and staff.
The probation office said PG&E did not properly notify officials about Cal Fire's findings. But PG&E contended that it did
send material to the office as required, though it may not have prominently stated the information.
The Honey Fire burned 150 acres outside of Paradise, the town that was devastated by last year's Camp Fire. The 2017
fire did not cause any injuries or destroy any property.

‘We have been shorted.’ Why wildfire survivors are furious about PG&E’s bankruptcy filing
Sacramento Bee
Doreen Zimmerman lost her hillside home in the Camp Fire last November, fleeing with a dozen puppies in the family car
as flaming embers rained down on Paradise. Now she feels she’s been made a victim again — by PG&E’s decision to file
for bankruptcy Tuesday. “The survivors — I call myself a survivor — we have been shorted,” said Zimmerman, who’s
living in a rental home in Yuba City. https://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/article225246820.html
PG&E Bust: Here's What California's Elected Leaders Have to Say
Bloomberg
With about 40 percent of California’s population relying on now‐bankrupt PG&E Corp. and its Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
utility for power and natural gas, elected officials in the most‐populous U.S. state said they intend to make sure the
lights stay on. Here’s what they had to say after the company’s court filing today.

The big problem this bankruptcy won’t solve for PG&E
CALmatters
As a publicly traded corporation, Pacific Gas & Electric reported $17.1 billion a year in revenues from its electric and gas
operations. After operating costs, expenses and taxes, it still made out with a profit of $1.7 billion last year. So why has
California’s largest utility filed for bankruptcy? PG&E may be solvent, but it is facing a cash flow problem as a byproduct
of $30 billion in potential liabilities from a series of catastrophic wildfires in Northern California in 2017 and 2018.

Editorial: PG&E enters bankruptcy and uncertainty about its future
San Francisco Chronicle
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is officially protecting its slender fortunes by filing for bankruptcy, a legal limbo land that isn’t
pleasing its circle of stakeholders. While the utility plots a course forward, consumers, wildfire victims and investors are
preparing for a legal battle that could run possibly for years. The intervening steps are worth watching. The bankruptcy
process has the potential to greatly change the utility’s operations and commitments.

Yes, of course…it would be via WebEx or GoToMeeting. There won’t be any materials other than what is sent out via the
agenda packet to view on screen. It is a Brown Act meeting so the agenda would need to be posted the wherever Heidi
(or if Andy participates) but only need to allow members of the public to attend at the beginning and end of the meeting
during public comment and General Counsel report out respectively (if someone shows up). If Heidi is not available,
Andy can participate but we are hoping for as many Primary members as possible. Thank you and let me know if there’s
anything else you need.

Hi Bren,
Would it be a possibility for Heidi Harmon or Andy Pease to participate via phone or remote technology? If so
this might increase availability for the dates proposed.

Yes, of course…it would be via WebEx or GoToMeeting. There won’t be any materials other than what is sent out via the
agenda packet to view on screen. It is a Brown Act meeting so the agenda would need to be posted the wherever Heidi
(or if Andy participates) but only need to allow members of the public to attend at the beginning and end of the meeting
during public comment and General Counsel report out respectively (if someone shows up). If Heidi is not available,
Andy can participate but we are hoping for as many Primary members as possible. Thank you and let me know if there’s
anything else you need.

Hi Bob,
Here is our explanation from our team regarding the compilation report.
The language Maher Accountancy use in the letter is standard for a compilation report. The reason the disclosure notes
(“disclosures”) are omitted is because it is too much work for interim monthly statements, the audit is where we would
provide all the disclosure notes such as Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Risk Management, Purchase
Commitments, Future GASB Pronouncements, Subsequent Events, etc. We are undergoing our first major audit so all the
disclosure notes will be provided once it is complete.
To clarify what disclosures represent and to minimize confusion, our accountant will revise this language from our
December Treasurer Report.

FYI, keeping you up to date on this important issue. Staff is continuing to monitor.
Thank you,

BCC: CC
Directors and Councilors
This morning PG&E filed for chapter 11 and here is how it will impact us
1‐ One of the 30+ motions filed today by PG&E expressly asks that the bankruptcy judge protect program payout
including daily remittances to CCAs. The judge is expected to rule on that motion today or tomorrow. We don’t
expect anyone to object to that motion and we anticipate that the daily remittances to proceed by tomorrow or
the day after
2‐ PG&E didn’t take a stand on the power supply contracts to which they are party whether as a buyer or seller.
We are buyers of several power supply products from PG&E and don’t expect a downside regardless of the
position they decide to take in that regard (assume or reject).
3‐ While we and the other CCA are not planning to request to be seated on the creditors committee, we anticipate
that we’ll work with the CPUC and the legislators on a sound plan to restructure PG&E.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call and please remember not to reply to all

Subject:RE: Follow Up FW: Financial Document for CCA You Should See
Hi Bob,
Here is our explanation from our team regarding the compilation report.
The language Maher Accountancy use in the letter is standard for a compilation report. The reason the disclosure notes
(“disclosures”) are omitted is because it is too much work for interim monthly statements, the audit is where we would
provide all the disclosure notes such as Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Risk Management, Purchase
Commitments, Future GASB Pronouncements, Subsequent Events, etc. We are undergoing our first major audit so all the
disclosure notes will be provided once it is complete.
To clarify what disclosures represent and to minimize confusion, our accountant will revise this language from our
December Treasurer Report.
Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions.
Best,
J.R. Killigrew, Director of Communications & Energy Programs

Hi J.R.
Thanks for your time on the phone today.
Attached is the page from MBCP’s recent “Accountants’ Compilation Report” that is raising questions. What is
the story here?

Also, per your request is the MOU we have with the SLO Climate Coalition Task Force (I’ll have to track down
the signed version if you like, but I am confident this is final form).
Talk soon,
Bob

Subject:Quick update re Email Outreach to 6 Remaining Jurisdictions
Hi All,
I did want to share a quick update regarding my initial outreach to the 5 cities and the County per your
recommendation.
SLO County
‐ Wade responded with a short message that the Board rejected CCE back in January 2018 and he will get in touch
if a when the Board decides to re‐visit
Pismo Beach
‐ Jim Lewis had a similar response to Wade’s but provided a little more insight that one council member had
addressed it with him and he would revisit about February goal setting.
Atascadero and Arroyo Grande
‐ No response yet from either City Managers
Grover Breach
‐ Interestingly enough, Matt Bronson emailed back pretty quickly and we set up a phone call last Friday. He
worked at Marin County when MCE launched so we can some similarities there in terms of my time at MCE as
well as working at San Mateo County when PCE was launching. He did seem open to the idea that MBCP could
make a presentation to Council after their February goal setting. We also discussed the idea of Matt bringing
forth the CCE topic to either or both City Manager’s meeting in March and Mayor’s/City Manager’s meeting in
March where Tom, Bruce and myself could present and meet with City executives in one place. Again, it was just
a preliminary idea but it could be a great opportunity for all parties to discuss together since the end goal would
be for all of SLO County to be served by one CCE program.
Many thanks for helping to continue the momentum.
Looking forward to chatting tomorrow and let me know if you have any thoughts.
Best,
J.R. Killigrew, Director of Communications & Energy Programs

Hi Robert,
Thanks again for the insight and conversation.
Again, as I mentioned, my initial emails to the 5 cities and the County only yielded one phone conversation with Matt
Bronson in Grover Beach late Friday afternoon. I had planned on sharing that with you, Scott and Chris today but my day
got away from me.
I’ll report back as to why that statement is put forth on the Compilation Report as soon as I get it.
Best,
