Staff Report – Item 15
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Alisa Lembke, Board Clerk / Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: Designation of VCE Officers for regulatory filings DATE: February 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution designating VCE Officers for purposes of executing or verifying regulatory (CPUC) filings.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
VCE’s Consultant Keyes & Fox provides legal services related to regulatory compliance and advocacy, including determining and reviewing regulatory compliance obligations, supporting VCE staff as its expert regulatory resource, and reviewing contracts between VCE and third parties.
Keyes & Fox prepares and files regulatory compliance documents for VCE after review by VCE staff.
California Code of Regulations, Title 20, requires an officer, agent or authorized employee of VCE to sign and verify certain documents filed with the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”).
CONCLUSION
To address ambiguity regarding which VCE positions qualify as “officers” under these regulations, the proposed resolution formally designates the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Director of Power Services as officers of VCE for purposes of executing or verifying CPUC filings on behalf of VCE.
