Redacted Applications for Community Advisory Committee Members for Cities of Oceanside and Vista
What experience/perspective will you bring to the committee? I have extensive experience with renewable power technologies (e.g., solar, wind, OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), wave & currents), utility energy production, and other relevant technologies. My perspective is as a scientist and engineer, with practical operational experience with solar, battery, and concentrating solar power systems.
Describe any relevant background in or expertise related to one or more of the following fields: electricity, community outreach or engagement, or policy advocacy.
My MS degree in Mechanical Engineering included a specialty in Energy Systems Engineering, which included course work in nuclear, chemical, and mechanical engineering of fuel and electric power systems. My 30+ year career was as a research engineer, developing and demonstrating advanced batteries (for utility use); solar concentrating technologies such as dish/Stirling, dish/PV, and heliostats for central receivers; domestic hot water components and systems; high-efficiency reverse-osmosis desalination systems; and, advanced photo- and thermochemical processes for water splitting (hydrogen production) and detoxification of waste.
I am very familiar with a wide range of renewable energy and storage technologies, and have personally installed multiple PV and battery systems for myself and with friends and neighbors.
Since my retirement, I have become more active locally, providing input and comments on the Oceanside Climate Action Plan and promoting energy efficiency, solar energy, efficient transportation, and responsible development. I have also volunteered with the Sierra Club and other local groups promoting community involvement and good environmental policies for the city and region.
Do you have any interests or associations that might present a conflict of interest? If yes, please explain:
We have solar PV and a battery system installed at our home, and we produce excess energy that we provide to the electric grid. Regarding solar and battery grid interactions, I therefore have a personal stake in promoting policies attractive to homeowner/power producers like myself.
What do you hope to accomplish as a member of the Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee?
I think my deep technical background (30+ years of active RD&D on solar, wind, batteries and other advanced technologies) would be useful for the Committee. I want to help make the transition to CEA one that will benefit all Oceansiders, and to work towards a local electricity supply system that is not only sufficient, clean, and reliable but also one that provides good value for all members of our community and provides support to those most in need of help.

Leidos Corp. (formerly Science Applications International Corporation, SAIC): Mr.
Davenport joined SAIC as a research engineer/project manager in the Energy Products Division in February 1987. His emphasis from the start was on renewable energy technology development. He recently completed a project to develop a cost-effective solar thermochemical water-splitting process to produce hydrogen, on which he was the lead solar engineer. He was responsible for control system development, system integration, and testing of dish/Stirling and dish/PV solar power systems developed by SAIC for sale to utility and commercial customers, and controls and tracker development for hybrid lighting systems and heliostats. In particular, he was instrumental in the successful demonstration of a first-ever 22 kWe gas-solar hybrid dish/Stirling system, and led the effort to convert an existing dish system for use with a close-packed concentrating PV receiver.
He also led efforts to develop a small, low-cost dish/tracker system for a hybrid daylighting project.
He has been intimately involved in the mechanical design, electrical design, controls development, optical analysis, and manufacturing of solar dishes and their components. He contributed to the conception, design, and production of the SAIC advanced mirror facet design using fixed, small mirror tiles mounted on a flat substrate. He also designed and implemented a control system for a set of six heliostats installed at a theme park in Southern California. He designed and implemented the control system for the SAIC 22-facet advanced stretched-membrane heliostat developed under the Solar Manufacturing Technology (SolMaT) program, and participated in the design and production of that unit. Previously, he directed efforts to test a prototype 20 kWe SAIC/STM Dish/Stirling system, and was in charge the design of the mechanical focus control system used in that system.
While at Leidos/SAIC he has also managed programs and conducted research on advanced batteries, advanced vacuum insulation materials for appliances and electric vehicles, solar detoxification of water and soil, and solar heliostats and dish concentrator systems for terrestrial and space power. His advanced battery research has included thermal design and computer modeling of utility load-leveling batteries using advanced sodium sulfur batteries, modeling of individual battery cells and modules, x-radiographic studies of operating high-temperature battery cells, and testing of convective cooling system approaches for high-temperature batteries. He managed the construction and operation of a high-temperature process test reactor for chemical re-processing. He led the fabrication and testing activities of a solar water detoxification test apparatus for testing concentrating and one-sun photoreactors employing fixed catalysts. Finally, he contributed to the development of solar heliostat and dish concentrators using stretched-membrane and conventional mirror technologies, to the demonstration of an early, small 300W photovoltaic dish concentrator system, and performed research on the potential production of solar concentrators on the moon and on Mars using indigenous materials.

Are you a resident/business owner of one of the CEA member cities? YES If yes, which city: Oceanside
Please attach a current resume and respond to the following questions. Please attach a separate sheet if additional space is needed.
What experience/perspective will you bring to the committee? I have over 30 years of environmental management experience working for the state, county, and the local jurisdictional government agencies. As the former Environmental Scientist with the State of California-EPA, I enforced the California Water Quality Act throughout the San Diego region. As the former Project Manager for the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health (DEH), I managed the clean-up of contaminated sites in San Diego County. As the former Environmental Officer for the City of Oceanside, I implemented the environmental regulatory programs including, but not limited to, Watershed Protection (Cleanwater), Alternative Sources of Energy such as solar projects, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE), energy efficiency projects for the existing city facilities (i.e. retrofitting existing city buildings), and the development of the city's Climate Action Plan (CAP) from inception. Additionally, I represented the city in the regional committees including but not limited to the North County Energy Action Collaborative (NCEAC). NCEAC founded in 2015 and comprises the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Oceanside; SANDAG Energy Workgroup (EWG); San Diego County Stormwater Protection Management Committee; San Diego Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM). IRWM program began in 2005 as an interdisciplinary effort by water retailers, wastewater agencies, stormwater & flooding managers aimed at developing long-term water supply reliability, improving water quality, and protecting natural resources funded by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). 3 Describe any relevant background in or expertise related to one or more of the following fields: electricity, community outreach or engagement, or policy advocacy.
As the former Environmental Officer for the City of Oceanside, I represented the city in the SANDAG Energy Workgroup (EWG). As a member of the SANDAG-EWG, I introduced the regional energy program to the city elected officials and the city's upper management team. I advocated and encouraged the city to develop and implement the energy efficiency related programs including but not limited to obtaining a grant from the American Recovery Act offered by the federal government in 2010; facilitated the development of the city's energy efficiency plan and implementation of the plan by various city departments; installation of solar energy projects at the city's facilities such as San Luis Rey Wastewater Treatment Plant, City Police Department headquarter, and the selected city parks and fire stations; participated in the development of the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP); actively explored and discussed the possibility of forming a CCE program for the north county cities along the Highway 78 corridor. I diligently reached out to representatives of the north county jurisdictions and discussed the possibilities of forming a new CCA or joining an existing CCA-JPA program.
Do you have any interests or associations that might present a conflict of interest? If yes, please explain:
None. I am a retired citizen and have been residing in the Rancho Del Oro Community in Oceanside for the past 30 years.
What do you hope to accomplish as a member of the Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee?
As the former Environmental Officer for the city of Oceanside from 2010 to 2020, I was involved in evaluating different options for forming a sustainable CCA program for the San Diego county coastal jurisdictions and the municipalities along the Highway 78 corridor. I gained a good understanding of the existing CCA programs in California by attending numerous state-wide and regional CCA workshops. If selected as a member of CEA-CAC, my hope is to share my knowledge and experience with other CEA committee members and bring the concerns of my community to the attention of the CEA Board members. My goal will be to apply my knowledge and work experience toward a sustainable CCA program that can be improved continuously overtime.

What experience/perspective will you bring to the committee? Ronald K. Ishii Vista
I have over 40 years of electric energy experience spanning from central power generation, distributed generation, renewable electric sources, energy efficiency and demand management. Much of my career has focused on electric operations, emerging technologies, and energy policy development/analysis/ implementation. I was one of three owners of Alternative Energy Systems Consulting (AESC) an energy engineering consulting firm for twenty-three years. I was CEO and Chairman of AESC for nine of those years, before selling the company to Energie Valsabbia (EVA) in 2017. I am also a native of North San Diego County. Although I have lived in Vista for thirty-four years, I was born and raised in Oceanside.
I feel my extensive energy experience and my personal attachment to Vista and the region are particularly useful for Community Advisory Committee participation. I am a known problem solver especially within concerned groups. I want to do everything I can to provide the citizens of Vista and the other member cities with clean, reliable, affordable electric energy.

What experience/perspective will you bring to the committee? Clean energy is something my husband and I have always been committed to. Back in 2002 when we purchased our home in Vista, the first thing we did was put solar panels on it. When I first started hearing about CCE, it was back in 2016. I was so excited to see how we could get this in Vista. That is what lead Lisa and me to start VCAP. In addition to educating our city council about CCE, we also helped lead in getting community members to the CAP workshops. It was within those workshops that Vistans clearly stated they wanted CCE.
Describe any relevant background in or expertise related to one of more of the following fields:
electricity, community outreach or engagement, or policy advocacy? As stated above, via VCAP our focus is community outreach/engagement and policy advocacy. Writing letters to our representatives, giving presentations at my local club, attending city council meetings, and making public comments in support of 100% clean energy goals, getting a CAP Administrator (which they did hire) and other items that were outlined from the CAP workshops. I’ve also volunteered to be the home base for the ECookTop program for Vista. I’ve used social media to demonstrate and chat about how wonderful induction cooktops are.
Do you have any interests or associations that might present a conflict of interest? No
What do you hope to accomplish as a member of the Clean Energy Alliance Community Advisory Committee?
I want to continue to be an advocate for clean energy here in Vista. Being able to help direct funds to projects that would employ people in my community and be green, is something that really excites me. We have so much potential for making Vista a better place to live.
Staff Report
DATE: December 15, 2022
TO: Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors
FROM: Barbara Boswell, Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 5: Consideration of the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency to determine whether the legislative bodies of Clean Energy Alliance will continue to hold meetings via teleconferencing and making findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)
RECOMMENDATION
Continue meetings by teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e), find that: (1) the Board has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic; and (2) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361 amending the Brown Act to allow local agencies to meet remotely during declared emergencies under certain conditions. AB 361 authorizes local agencies to continue meeting remotely without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing provisions, including the requirement that meetings be conducted in physical locations, under specified conditions. Namely, the meeting is held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor and either of the following applies: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the agency has already determined or is determining whether, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
The Board of Directors and CEA’s other legislative bodies have met using teleconferencing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. On November 17, 2022, the Board of Directors determined that the factual circumstances exist for CEA to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361.
March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Emergency”). The Emergency continues to exist. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to advise that COVID-19 spreads more easily indoors than outdoors and that people are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when they are closer than six feet apart from others for longer periods of time. Based on this advice and as a result of the emergency, the Board determined that meeting in person presents imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
December 15, 2022
AB361 Findings
On October 17, 2022, Governor Newsom announced the State of Emergency is scheduled to end on February 28, 2023.
To continue meeting remotely pursuant to AB 361, an agency must make periodic findings that: (1) the body has reconsidered the circumstances of the declared emergency; and (2) the emergency impacts the ability of the body’s members to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. These findings should be made not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to AB 361, and every 30 days thereafter.
The County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) tracks COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. As demonstrated by the chart below, taken from the HHSA website, the County has seen a more than doubling of COVID-19 cases as reported for November 28 compared to November 21.
December 15, 2022
AB361 Findings
In addition to the data above, attached is a COVID-19 Weekly Update dated December 1, 2022, from the County of San Diego for Board information in considering the findings.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact by this action.

According to CDC, several factors likely affect crude case rates by vaccination and booster dose status, making interpretation of recent trends difficult. Limitations include higher prevalence of previous infection among the unvaccinated and un-boosted groups; difficulty in accounting for time since vaccination and waning protection; and possible differences in testing practices ( such as at-home tests) and prevention behaviors by age and vaccination status. *An unvaccinated hospitalization, or death is one that occurs in a person who has not received a COVID-19 vaccine. Partially vaccinated persons are excluded. †A vaccinated hospitalization or death is one that occurs in a person who received at least two doses of a two-dose vaccine series (e.g., Pfizer, Moderna) or one dose of a one-dose series (e.g., Johnson & Johnson) at least 2 weeks before they tested positive for COVID-19. This includes persons who have received a monovalent or bivalent booster dose.
San Diego County Population from SANDAG 2019 Population Estimates (Prepared June 2020) for persons 5 years of age and older = 3,144,061. The vaccinated population for each day is the cumulative number of county residents 5 years of age and older documented to have received the final or booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to that day. The unvaccinated population is the estimated county population 5 years of age and older minus the partially vaccinated, fully vaccinated, and boosted populations.
