REGULAR AGENDA
2. Oral Update from the CEO on CPA Operations
Ted Bardacke, Chief Executive Officer, acknowledged Deborah Klein Lopez’s six-month anniversary as the Chair of the Board of Directors. SCE is expected to file its rate change for October, anticipating a significant decrease in generation rates and an increase in delivery rates, impacting CPA’s competitiveness. The October filing will determine the PCIA (Power Charge Indifference Adjustment) fee that will go into effect in 2025. Staff will provide the Executive Committee with an overview of next year’s rates at the next meeting. Additionally, Chief Financial Officer David McNeil will present the financial audit results from Fiscal Year 2023/2024 at the November Board meeting. Committee Member Parkhurst asked about the change in SCE’s rates, and staff said they expect the utility’s delivery rates to go up significantly in the next few years.
3. Review Draft Agenda for the October 11, 2024, Board of Directors Meeting Mr. Bardacke stated that the consent agenda includes an appointment to the Community Advisory Committee and an amendment to the SunZia agreement.
The regular agenda will include an item on the Energy Team customer program and a discussion of a collaboration with Los Angeles County to provide energy-efficient air conditioners to low-income residents. Eligible customers will receive a $300 point-of-sale credit with a barcode to be presented at a retailer or when ordering online. Staff has developed a marketing plan to reach member agencies’ low-income customers. Regarding the Energy Team, Director Gold suggested that CPA produce outreach materials that can be presented to the public via City Agenda Page 5 of 28
Executive Committee Item 1
Council meetings. Staff replied that marketing and government relations staff could work on that.
4. Receive Presentation on the Energized Communities Innovation Fund and Provide Input on the Selection Committee Structure that will Recommend Innovation Fund Projects to the Board of Directors
Sona Coffee, Senior Program Manager of Local Government Programs, presented information about the Energized Communities Program and Innovation Fund. Ms.
Coffee requested input from the Committee on the structure of the Innovation Fund’s Selection Committee. The fund will provide up to $250,000 to support decarbonization projects in member agencies’ communities, building electrification, electric fleet transition, and community Electric Vehicle charging.
The application period runs from October 1, 2024, to December 4, 2024, and CPA will provide proposal assistance. Member agencies can receive funding for one project per cycle. The Selection Committee will be required to spend two to three weeks reviewing the project applications and making recommendations to the full Board. Ms. Coffee presented three options for the proposed structure of the Selection Committee: CPA staff only; CPA staff and Community Advisory Committee (CAC) representatives; and CPA staff, CAC representatives, and/or local external experts. Ms. Coffee discussed the benefits and challenges of each option; for instance, having external experts would create more diversity in the panel but would take more time as those experts would need to be identified, vetted, and educated about CPA’s mission. Staff recommends option two. The Round 1 timeline has the Selection Committee recommendations completed by January 2025, the Board approving projects in February or March 2025, and funding agreements executed in April.
In response to Committee Member Gold’s inquiry about the completion of selected projects, staff stated that the details of the funding agreement are still being finalized, including addressing unexpected changes in project completion timelines; however, progress reports will be required for all projects. Staff clarified for Committee Member Santangelo that Board members were not considered for the Selection Committee to avoid potential conflicts of interest when final funding decisions are made. Committee Member Parkhurst asked about the compressed timeline. Staff noted that in discussions with city staff about the projects, the specific timeline question was asked, and no concerns were raised; however, the timeline could be adjusted as needed. The Committee agreed that this grant program would be appropriate for engagement with the Community Advisory Committee and directed staff to move forward with option two.
5. Review and Provide Input on the Proposed Amendments to CPA’s Non-Energy Public Contracting Policy
Scott Gropp, Strategic Sourcing Manager, stated that proposed changes include adding the CEO’s delegated signature authority to the policy to create a single non-energy procurement document, increasing the CEO’s delegated signing authority to $250,000 for any single contract in a 12-month period or for a single vendor within any single fiscal year period; replacing the CEO’s authority to increase Board-approved contract amounts by 10% with a $250,000 dollar limit; changing the name of an “Informal Bid” to a “Request for Quote” (RFQu) and formally establish requirements for the RFQu; and updating the dollar values that trigger Agenda Page 6 of 28
Executive Committee Item 1
certain types of solicitations. For services or a combination of goods and services, any contract with an anticipated value greater than $100,000 will require a Request for Proposal or a Request for Qualifications/Task Order Solicitation. Anything between $10,000 and $100,000 may be solicited through the RFQu process. A contract for goods with an anticipated value greater than $150,000 will require a Request for Bid process. Any contract with an anticipated value up to $75,000 will not require a solicitation and contracts with an anticipated value between $75,001 to $150,000 may use the RFQu process.
In response to Committee Members Parkhurst and Hicks' questions regarding the RFQu process, including the applicability and the number of quotes required, staff clarified that the CEO would make a final determination as to when it is applicable.
Still, it largely depends on the scope of work or goods being purchased. Staff added that a minimum of three quotes are required for an RFQu. The Committee supported staff changes and directed staff to place the item on the Board’s regular agenda to ensure that Board members could examine the changes thoroughly.
6. CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL—ANTICIPATED LITIGATION Significant exposure to litigation pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 54956.9: 1
Vice Chair Lopez reconvened the meeting. Nancy Whang, General Counsel, reported there was no reportable action on Item 6 and that the Committee provided direction.
COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Committee Member Parkhurst reported that he met with the CEO of SCE, who told him SCE rates will not increase substantially in October. SCE has been hardening the grid system near Sierra Madre, which is vulnerable to wildfires.

Staff Report – Agenda Item 3
To: Executive Committee
From: Ted Bardacke, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: Review Draft Agenda for the November 7, 2024, Board of Directors Meeting
Date: October 24, 2024
Staff will provide an overview of the proposed agenda items for the November 7, 2024, Board of Directors meeting for review and feedback from the Executive Committee. The draft Board agenda is attached to this staff report. Information on the main items for Board consideration is provided below.
CONSENT AGENDA
The following items are recommended for inclusion on the Consent Agenda of the November Board meeting.
Communications Contract Authority Increase
In July 2024 the Board approved contracts with two creative agencies, School of Thought and Pastilla Inc., for creative services and website development and maintenance aligned with the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Communications and Marketing budget that the Board approved in June 2024. The School of Thought Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $1.01 million was to support enrollment of CPA programs, development of marketing strategy, and grow CPA’s brand awareness. A similar scope of work was outlined for Pastilla for any as-needed creative services in addition to web development and web maintenance for a NTE amount of $365,000. On October 1, CPA gave notice of termination to School of Thought.
Agenda Page 9 of 28
Executive Committee Item 3
To continue marketing and communications work throughout the current fiscal year, staff is proposing to amend the PSA with Pastilla to increase the NTE to $1.020 million. The scope of work previously outlined in Pastilla’s PSA is not changed and this proposed NTE increase does not require a budget amendment.
REGULAR AGENDA
The following items are recommended for inclusion on the Regular Agenda of the November Board meeting.
Power Purchase Agreements
On September 25, CPA’s Energy Committee approved a shortlist of six projects and a waitlist of another six projects from the 2024 Clean Energy and Reliability RFO. The projects include solar paired with storage, stand-alone storage, and Resource Adequacy only projects. Staff is now in the process of negotiating long-term Power Purchase Agreements and Resource Adequacy Purchase Agreements with the shortlisted counterparties approved by the Energy Committee. Should the negotiations be successful, the contracts may be presented to the Board for consideration.
Low-Income Solar and Storage Contract
The Low-Income Solar and Storage Program aims to leverage innovative strategies to overcome the barriers that low-income customers face when trying to install solar and battery storage. This program will connect low-income customers to a pre-selected vendor to install solar and storage at no up-front cost, in part by leveraging state and federal incentives, In addition to providing customer cost savings, the battery storage systems will be controlled by a distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) platform to allow CPA to utilize batteries to reduce Resource Adequacy (RA) obligation and support grid reliability.
CPA released a Request for Proposals (RFP) in late June to select a vendor to design, finance/lease, install, operate, and maintain solar and battery storage systems for low-Agenda Page 10 of 28 Executive Committee Item 3
income single family and multifamily customers. CPA received one proposal for single-family and none for multi-family.
Staff is in the process of negotiating a professional services agreement with a prospective vendor for a not-to-exceed of approximately $322,500 for a three-year term. The ability to reduce RA obligations is expected to make these projects financially beneficial to CPA in less than five years. Should those negotiations be successful, the agreement will be submitted for consideration at the November Board meeting.
Workforce Development Phase III Proposal
This item will be subject to a separate staff report to the Executive Committee.
Presentation of FY 2023/24 Financial Results
Staff will present CPA’s audited FY 2023-24 Financial Statements. The audit is nearly complete, and the auditor will present the audit results in detail to the Finance Committee on October 30, 2024. The Auditors’ Report is expected to include its opinion that CPA’s FY 2023-24 Financial Statements “present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clean Power Alliance as of June 30, 2024”.
FY 2024/25 Rates Outlook
This item will be subject to a separate staff report to the Executive Committee.
Nominations for Ventura County At-Large Executive Committee Position Director Betsy Stix will be leaving the Ojai City Council after the November 2024 municipal election, resulting in a vacancy for one At-Large member of the Executive Committee representing Ventura County members.

CPA’s Workforce Development Efforts
3 In 2019, the Board approved the Voyager Wind PPA which created the fund for the Voyager Scholarship program for target Community Colleges In December 2020, the Board directed staff to seek out Workforce Development program investments using PPA-directed funds that:
• “Green” existing jobs by providing training and resources that will give workers skills necessary to facilitate building and transportation electrification
• Support union apprenticeship programs, clean energy rapid trainings, and certificate programs for both union and non-union pathways
In November 2021 and July 2023, the Board approved Phases 1 and 2, respectively, of Workforce Development Investment Plan
• IBEW electrical training institutes (ETIs) and Los Angeles Clean Tech Incubator (LACI) main partners A total of $2,600,000 of funding provided through 7 PPAs CPA has provided $779,990 in funding to-date
$2,570,010 of funding is still available (including $750,000 in 2026 from SunZia) Agenda Page 18 of 28
Why We Are Looking At Other Options
Limited ability for IBEW training centers to absorb additional CPA investments in equipment or curriculum development – they need assistance getting more people into apprenticeship programs
Identified obstacles to admittance to construction trades apprenticeship programs
• Knowledge/experience to pass entrance exam
• Additional costs: Childcare, equipment, entry fees etc.
Women, previously incarcerated, and veterans are under- represented in CPA’s currently funded workforce programs • ETIs: <6% women, 0% previously incarcerated / veterans • LACI: 39% women, 0% previously incarcerated, and 1%
veterans
Voyager scholarships have had low uptake
• Uncertainty of future funding led to limited marketing by colleges
• Scholarship covers only about 1/3 of course fees
Agenda Page 19 of 28
4 MC3 Pre-Apprenticeship Programs
They provide a clear path to high wage jobs for underserved communities Leverage an established curriculum, CPA funding goes directly to student support Selected programs have high success rates of placing students in union apprenticeship programs
Why Fund Pre-Apprenticeship Programs?
5 Bootcamps for all union construction trade apprenticeship programs • 10-week, 240-hour program
Utilize Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3)
• A standardized curriculum developed and approved by the Building Trades National Apprenticeship Committee
• Used to enter apprenticeship programs for 15 affiliated unions that make up North America Building Trades Unions and 26 unions from the LA/OC Building & Construction Trades Council What are Pre-Apprenticeship Programs?
