Recent Changes in Brown Act Teleconferencing and
Format of Future SDCP Meetings
Recommendation:
Provide direction regarding the use of teleconferencing under recent amendments to the Brown Act and general format for public attendance at future meetings (e.g., in-person vs. hybrid).
Presenter:
Nicholas Norvell, Assistant General Counsel
20 Brown Act generally requires legislative bodies members to be in-person for meetings Brown Act has long contained “standard” teleconferencing rules allowing a member to teleconference if:
• Teleconference location is stated on agenda
• Agenda is timely posted at teleconference location
• Teleconference location is open for public to attend and comment from that location
Majority of body participates from within agency boundaries All votes by roll call
General In-Person Requirements and “Standard”
Brown Act Teleconferencing
21 Since start of COVID-19, State has allowed teleconferencing that did not meet the “standard” teleconference rules
Originally done through Executive Order and then legislation (AB 361)
Governor is ending COVID-19 State of Emergency on February 28 and SDCP has planned for a return to in-person meetings after such date
COVID-Era Teleconferencing
22 Standard Brown Act Teleconferencing Rules (teleconference location stated on agenda; agenda posted at location; open to public to attend; majority within SDCP boundaries)
AB 2449 Teleconferencing (New Law as of January 1, 2023) Post-February Teleconferencing Options
23 Allows teleconferencing under very specific circumstances (without complying with “Standard” Teleconferencing Rules) • Just cause
Childcare or caregiving for close family
Contagious illness
Physical or mental disability
Travel on SDCP business
• Emergency
Physical or family medical emergency
AB 2449 Teleconferencing
24 Must notify legislative body ASAP of need to teleconference, including general reason
Publicly disclose anyone 18+ in room with you and relationship to them
Use audio and visual to participate (camera on)
AB 2449 Requirements for Legislative Body
Member
25 For a member to participate via teleconference under AB 2449:
• Majority of body must participate in person from single location • For “emergency” provision, majority of body must approve for member to teleconference
• Public must be able to participate in meeting virtually, including live public comments
• If public broadcast or public comment function is interrupted, body can take no further action until restored
• All votes by roll call
AB 2449 Requirements for Legislative Body
26 Just cause
• Can be used by each member only 2x during each calendar year Overall (just cause + emergency)
• No more than 3 consecutive months
• No more than 20% of regular meetings
AB 2449 Limits
27 Pros
and
Cons
28 1. Does the Board desire for the Board, committees, and CAC to be able to use the Standard Brown Act Teleconferencing Rules or AB 2449 teleconferencing?
2. Does the Board desire for Board, committee and CAC meetings to (1) continue to be hybrid for members of the public (to the extent technologically feasible) or (2) be hybrid for the public only if the Board permits AB 2449 teleconferencing and a member of the legislative body is participating remotely under AB 2449? Seeking Direction on the Following
Questions:
29 Item 10
Recommendation:
Provide direction regarding the use of teleconferencing under recent amendments to the Brown Act and general format for public attendance at future meetings (e.g., in-person vs. hybrid).
30 Item 11
Updates to Board Compensation and Reimbursement
Policy
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-__ renaming the Board Compensation and Reimbursement Policy as the “Board and Committee
Compensation and Reimbursement Policy,” amending the policy to include Board-appointed advisory committees, including the Community Advisory Committee, and making other changes.
Presenter:
Nicholas Norvell, Assistant General Counsel
31 February 2022, Board adopted a Board Compensation and Reimbursement Policy to authorize per diem compensation for attending Board meetings and reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses (e.g., pre-authorized travel on behalf of SDCP) Later amendments authorized reimbursement of child-care expenses during Directors’ attendance at special Board meeting and per diem compensation for attending committee meetings
Board per diem compensation amount ($150) is consistent with SANDAG and MTS
Community Advisory Committee (CAC) members currently do not receive compensation for meeting attendance
With return to in-person meetings, CAC members will spend additional time and transportation costs to attend CAC meetings
Background
32 Amend Board Compensation and Reimbursement Policy to:
Authorize compensation of $100 per meeting for Board-appointed committee members, including CAC. Amount consistent with SANDAG Policy Advisory Committees. Make compensation subject to same limits as Directors (4x per month). In practice, CAC meets 1x per month, but there may be rare occasions of 2x per month. Make CAC members eligible for reimbursement of child-care expenses for special (non-regular) CAC meetings, similar to Directors. Expressly note legal requirement for Directors and CAC Members to receive AB 1234 Ethics Training and Sexual Harassment Prevention Training as required by Government Code due to receipt of compensation or reimbursement.
Clarify that Alternate Directors and Board-appointed committee members are eligible for reimbursement if pre-approved by Board and performing duties on behalf of SDCP. Rename policy as the Board and Committee Compensation and Reimbursement Policy.
Proposed Policy Revisions
33 Item 11
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-__ renaming the Board Compensation and Reimbursement Policy as the “Board and Committee
Compensation and Reimbursement Policy,” amending the policy to include Board-appointed advisory committees, including the Community Advisory Committee, and making other changes. 34 Item 12
Approval of a new Electrification Rate - TOU-ELEC
Recommendation:
Approve the new Electrification Rate – TOU-ELEC
Presenter:
Lucas Utouh, Director of Data Analytics and Account Services 35 Approval of New Electrification Rate TOU-ELEC
36 Background
• On January 31, 2023, SDG&E rolled out a new optional rate for residential customers called TOU-ELEC.
• This rate plan aims to encourage greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction by promoting electrification of behind-the-meter technologies and is available to customers who have at least one of the following:
an electric vehicle (“EV”)
an energy storage device, or
an electric heat pump for either water heating or climate control. • This new rate is also available to customers meeting the above criteria as well as those who qualify for the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program and/or Medical baseline. 37 SDCP’s TOU-ELEC Rate
• SDCP is proposing an equivalent TOU-ELEC rate for our residential customers For SDCP customers wanting to opt-in to this rate, its adoption by the Board will allow them to realize the benefit of receiving more renewable energy content at the Board approved 3% value proposition on our PowerOn service in 2023 relative to SDG&E.
• Currently, there is a cap of 10,000 customers who may take service on this rate. • Customers on this rate will be charged a flat $16 monthly service fee by SDG&E in addition to the Time of Use Utility Distribution Company (UDC) charges. • Customers that opt-in to schedule TOU-ELEC within its first year of being offered have the option to return to their previous rate schedule prior to the 12-month requirement. 38 Item 12

Approve the new Electrification Rate – TOU-ELEC
