- look at the use of electric vehicles (vehicle to grid) - look at independent pricing structure instead of trying to mirror CPUC NBT
15. CAC Structure per Ad Hoc Board Committee Recommendation (Discussion Item) Discussion of Restructure CAC per Ad Hoc recommendation CAC has not been consulted on this change prior to this meeting. As staff is not recommending the board take a final decision, rather looking for direction, the CAC recommends the following direction.
Support maintaining regional representation with some modifications ● Original structure had the constituent group allocation. ○ CAC would like to propose constituent group and allocation for consideration
○ Don't want to lose our existing members, including the at-large members. Notably, they both regularly attend.
○ consider future expansion of CAC seats if the body keeps growing. ● Alternates: don't get rid of them, regularly move alternates into CA seats, often wouldn't make quorum without them. Do lose some from lack of engagement.
○ 1 Alternate per region, but function as at-large and can sub for any vacancy. Utilize like a pool, and rotate who is given the voting slot. ○ give stipend even if not voting.
Want the CAC to help the Board hear the concerns and the ideas from the community that the Board may not otherwise hear. We take time, have meetings, and report to constituent groups
Evaluate other types of structures for getting people onto the CAC and bringing in diverse voices with other opinions. CAC would like to bring some suggestions for consideration.
