Policy 3.5: Extremely Low-Income Households. Ensure compliance with state regulations regarding zoning for emergency shelters and other provisions to ensure housing opportunities for extremely low-income Orinda households or those residents who are in crisis or in need of emergency assistance.

Policy 3.6: Development Agreements. On a case-by-case basis, consider the use of development agreements in larger residential projects as a mechanism for generating funding for affordable housing or providing affordable units within new market-rate projects.

Policy 3.7: Special-Needs Housing. Promote the development of special-needs housing, such as housing for seniors; housing for persons with physical, developmental, or mental disabilities; housing for extremely low-income persons, and female-headed households.

Implementing Actions
Action 3.A: Shared Housing Program. Participate in the Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) housing’s “Shared Housing” or some similar program as a way to improve housing opportunities for lower-income seniors and extremely low-income Orinda residents.

Work with ECHO, which serves residents throughout the East Bay. The shared housing program matches persons needing housing with homeowners who have available space.

The City will explore the feasibility of engaging ECHO or some similar organization to start a comparable program in Orinda. ECHO also provides counseling on shared living, supportive services, and information and referral, as well as educational workshops on home sharing. Implementing this program will support the City’s housing mobility efforts to increase access to high-resource neighborhoods in Orinda for extremely low-income households in Orinda and from other areas of Contra Costa County that otherwise could not afford to live in Orinda, including single seniors on fixed incomes, persons with physical or developmental disabilities, and young adults seeking employment.

Responsible Agency: Planning Department
Timeframe: Within one year of adopting the Housing Element, or by June 2024, connect with ECHO or similar organization to establish a shared housing program in Orinda. Develop an outreach program to inform Orinda residents about the shared housing program by December 2024.

Funding Source: CDBG, General Fund
Quantified Objective: Connect 20 eligible persons in existing Orinda homes through the shared-home program to reduce displacement risk for lowerincome households and assist in housing mobility for eligible households.

Action 3.B: Extremely Low-Income Housing. Encourage additional housing resources for extremely low-income Orinda residents, particularly seniors and persons with physical or developmental disabilities, through a variety of actions, including:
● Facilitate and encourage the construction of housing affordable to extremely lowincome households by assisting nonprofit and for-profit developers with financial and/or technical assistance in a manner that is consistent with the City’s identified housing needs.
● Provide financial support annually, as available, to organizations that provide counseling, information, education, support, housing services/referrals, and/or legal advice to extremely low-income households, persons with disabilities, and persons experiencing homelessness.
● Expand regulatory incentives for the development of units affordable to extremely lowincome households and housing for special-needs groups, including persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), and individuals and families in need of emergency/transitional housing.
● The City will provide financial support annually, as available, to organizations that provide counseling information, education, support, housing services/referrals, and/or legal advice to extremely low-income households to mitigate risk of displacement and support housing stability for extremely low-income households, persons with disabilities, and persons experiencing homelessness.

Responsible Agency: Planning Department
Timeframe: Ongoing; as projects are processed by the Planning Department.

Following the update of the Development Code (Actions 1.G and

1.H), review the Development Code and revise as needed annually.

By December 2024, outreach to organizations that support extremely low-income residents to understand funding needs, and review and prioritize local funding at least twice in the planning period, and support expediting applications on an ongoing basis.

Funding Source: General Fund
Quantified Objectives: Assist 20 extremely low-income households to reduce displacement risk.

Action 3.C: Assistance for Persons with Developmental Disabilities. The City will also coordinate with the Regional Center of the East Bay to inform Orinda families of the resources available to them and to explore incentives so that a larger number of future housing units include features that meet the needs of persons with developmental disabilities and other special needs.

The City will continue to support the development of small group homes that serve developmentally disabled adults and will work with the nonprofit community to encourage the inclusion of units for persons with developmental disabilities in future affordable H.1.a

Action 3.D: Developmental Disability Services. The City will work with the Regional Center for the East Bay to implement an outreach program that informs families within the city about housing and services available for persons with developmental disabilities. The program could include the development of an informational brochure, including information on the City’s website, and/or providing housing-related training for individuals/families through workshops.

The City will then meet with disability service providers, including the Regional Center for the East Bay, to identify whether there is unmet demand anywhere in the city. If an unmet need is realized, work with providers to secure funding to expand services for persons with disabilities.

Responsible Agency: Planning Department
Timeframe: Development of an outreach program within one year of adopting the Housing Element (or by December 2024) and meet with disability providers by June 2023. If an unmet demand is realized, work with providers to secure funding to expand services by March 2024.

An important but overlooked detail concerning the Housing Element is this:
zoning a sufficient number if acres at the “default density” of at least 20 d.u./acre satisfies the Housing Element requirement for zoning for lower income housing, but does little or nothing to cause affordable housing to be built. A developer is free to build market rate housing on a site zoned at 20 d.u./acre. In fact, the city cannot require that affordable housing be built anywhere.

The city CAN, however, enact an inclusionary ordinance requiring that at least 15% of new units in any development be affordable. Many jurisdictions, including Lafayette, have such an ordinance, whose wording can be a starting (or ending) point for drafting such an ordinance for Orinda. Admittedly, state law requires that developers have an alternative, such as an in lieu fee, but an inclusionary ordinance is better than nothing.

I urge you to enact an inclusionary ordinance.

An inclusionary ordinance has only a limited effect. A 15% inclusionary ordinance means that almost 5,000 new housing units would have to be built to achieve the RHNA + buffer of 734 lower income units. If we rely on an inclusionary ordinance for moderate income units, that adds 269 units; Orinda would need to add an additional 1,800 units to obtain 269 moderate income units. At 2.5 to 2.9 people per housing unit, you are looking at a range of population increase of 12,500 (5,000 times 2.5) to 19,720 (6,800 times 2.9).

Thus, reliance on an inclusionary ordinance could potentially double the city’s population in eight years.

A better way to get affordable housing built is to increase the density on sites where the owners, such as churches, are motivated to make more than 15% of their units affordable, and who are not interested in the in lieu fee alternative.

Give the churches the tools they need to build the amount of affordable housing we need.

Orinda is facing a fork in the road regarding the housing element and affordable housing. Which approach will Orinda choose: the developer-driven approach or the church-based approach.

The developer driven approach
One approach is the developer driven approach, which is being taken by the city’s staff. Under this approach, the city will seek certification of its housing element, insofar as affordable housing is concerned, by zoning a sufficient number of acres at a density of at least 20 d.u./acre (called the “default density”), to satisfy its RHNA. Note that this zoning does not require that affordable housing be built on the parcels so zoned. Affordable will be built, if at all, as a percentage of a housing development proposed by a developer, if a developer chooses to take advantage of SB35 or the density bonus law. For example, if a developer invokes SB35 and includes 10% affordable housing, a 100 unit project would have 10 affordable units. Stated differently, to meet the RHNA low income requirement of 632 units, we would need 6,320 units built under SB35. A developer invoking the density bonus law to satisfy the low income RHNA with 15% affordable, would build 4,215 units of which 15% or 632 would be low income.

Orinda might be able to obtain certification of a housing element by zoning sufficient acres at 20 d.u./acre to meet its RHNA. But no affordable housing would or legally could be required to be built. Developers could take advantage of the new density (proposed to be 30 and 25 units/acre, depending on location) and increased height limits and build only market rate housing.

The affordable housing “can” would be “kicked down the road.” In the meantime, Orinda would suffer the penalties from a lack of issuance of building permits for affordable housing.

The economic analysis prepared for the city concluded that only density bonus projects were likely feasible. See Figure 6 on page 13. https://link.edgepilot.com/s/d0d3f873/HrvtNK9PwkmXhs_rDSahmA? 4 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 319 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) u=https://cityoforinda.app.box.com/v/DPPFeasibilityMemo A developer invoking the density bonus law sets aside a percentage of affordable units and in return has a right to unlimited waivers plus limited concessions. Usually, height limits and density are increased in density bonus projects. The developer gets to build six to ten times as many total units as affordable units.

Notably, the economic analysis assumed a negligible amount of affordable housing would be built: 68 units. See Figure 2.
https://link.edgepilot.com/s/d0d3f873/HrvtNK9PwkmXhs_rDSahmA? u=https://cityoforinda.app.box.com/v/DPPFeasibilityMemo By implication, affordable housing (the remaining 564 units) would be deferred, and the city would take the risk of the penalties attendant on a lack of affordable housing being built.

Orinda is facing a huge population increase if it relies on the developerdriven approach. It would be relying on developers to comply withSB35 use density bonuses, AND build sufficient market rate units (six to ten times as many total units as affordable units) to meet Orinda’s RHNA.

Over the eight year term of the Sixth Cycle of the Housing Element, under the developer-driven approach, the increase in the population of Orinda would be between 15,864 and 18,402, depending upon whether you assume 2.5 or 2.9 people per housing unit. It was 2.71 in the 2020 census. https://link.edgepilot.com/s/85cfe6ae/-5Twb2R-Z0OvF7n0LlrLMg? u=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/orindacitycalifornia/INC11021 9 This result happens because the developer can build six to ten times the number of affordable units. (A density bonus project would reduce the effective rate to 10% because the added units need not be affordable.) This would lead to a population increase of 22,915 to 26,581.

A variation of the developer-driven approach would result if Orinda adopted an inclusionary zoning ordinance. Under such an ordinance, a developer would be required to include 15% (the maximum allowed by state law) affordable units.

This would remove some developer discretion about whether to include any affordable housing, but would create the same massive population increase.

Drummond Buckly has the undersigned that staff is not planning to propose an inclusionary ordinance.
5 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 320 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) Church based approach
A better solution – one that would avoid this massive population increase – would be to rely on the churches. To do so, however, Orinda would need to upzone church properties to a higher density than the 20 d.u./acre that staff proposes. Churches can be relied upon to provide more than 10% or 15% affordable housing in a project (they would likely build, or partner with an affordable housing developer to build, only affordable housing). This approach could satisfy Orinda’s low and moderate income RHNA without a massive number of market rate units. The churches have enough acres/space. See attached spreadsheet, that shows that zoning the church sites at 30 d.u./acre would yield 634 units, two more than the low income RHNA, and zoning at 60 d.u./acre would add enough units to cover the affordable moderate income category.

This approach would eliminate the need to add a total number of units equal to

6.67 times, or as much as 10 times, the number of affordable units under the “developer driven” approach.

Should Orinda enact an inclusionary ordinance requiring that a percentage of a new development include affordable housing, or should Orinda kick the affordable housing “can” down the proverbial road? Planning Director Drummond Buckley has advised the undersigned that “The Draft Housing Element will not have an inclusionary housing ordinance as a program, but it could be added into the final Housing Element based on feedback from the Council, Planning Commission and public during the public review process.” (Email dated March 29, 2022 10:27 AM)
Mr. Buckley also wrote that SB35 and the density bonus law would be an incentive for affordable housing. Upon further investigation, however, it appears that, at least until 2027 or thereabouts, under SB35 as applied to Orinda, a developer would need to make 50% of the units affordable to qualify under that law for ministerial, streamlined approval subject only to objective standards. The consensus is that a 50% affordable requirement precludes a project from “pencilling out.”
I write to start a discussion over whether Orinda should have an inclusionary ordinance that would require new housing projects to make 15% of the units affordable. There should be a discussion about whether this is limited to low income, or also includes moderate income.

Many cities, including Lafayette, have inclusionary ordinances requiring that a specified percentage of any new housing project include affordable housing.

See this link: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/19003ed8/oyPovKsDoU_b9- p2i4utsg?u=https://www.lovelafayette.org/city-hall/city-departments/planningbuilding/housing/lafayette-s-housing-efforts Here is a link to HCD’s October 21, 2019 technical assistance memo:

Packet Pg. 327 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) As I have previously explained, Orinda can perhaps get a Housing Element certified, insofar as its low income housing RHNA is concerned, by zoning sufficient acres at the “default density” (a minimum of 20 d.u./acre) to satisfy the RHHA (plus buffer). However, that zoning does not require that any units before low income.

What are the pros and cons of an inclusionary ordinance? An inclusionary ordinance would, by contrast, require that a new housing project include a percentage of affordable units. (Note that under AB 1505, alternatives must nevertheless be allowed.) Thus, an inclusionary ordinance would increase the likelihood that at least some low income or moderate income housing would be built.

Causing some affordable housing to be built would, many believe, be the “moral” or right thing to do.

Also, to the extent affordable housing actually got built, it would help Orinda avoid the penalties that result from a lack of such housing actually being built.

Further, taking the long view, to the extent that housing development proceeds in the short run without including affordable housing, it will become more difficult in the future to accommodate affordable housing, because the currently-available land will have been used for market rate housing.

Staff is apparently relying on the density bonus law to provide a sufficient incentive for a developer to include some affordable housing. Although the EPS economic study did find that density bonus projects were “likely feasible” ( https://link.edgepilot.com/s/a0fb9db5/9mgLoYsHdUO9j0M4WcmBeg? u=https://cityoforinda.app.box.com/v/DPPFeasibilityMemo at Figure 6, page 13), its analysis is seriously flawed. The most notable flaw is its assumption that rents would average $4,499 per month. ( Id. See Figure 4 on page 11.) This assumption is double the going rate in the area.
https://link.edgepilot.com/s/fac2683c/E51t0OWKsUCoIqBnm1Z1xg? u=https://enewspaper.eastbaytimes.com/?publink=137f1a65a_13483b2 It follows that the conclusion of “likely feasible” is “likely wrong.” Alternatively, if a housing element can be certified without an inclusionary 13 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 328 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) ordinance, the affordable housing “can” might be kicked down the road, and dealt with at a later time. Such an approach, of course, runs the risk of state penalties if insufficient affordable housing is actually built.

Comments on Orinda’s Draft Housing Element Public Comment Draft April 2022 released 3-31-2022 (the “HE”)
Introduction
I am going to focus on one fatal flaw in the HE: Housing Sites Inventory (begins on page 125 of the HE). The flaw is that the HE is relying heavily on nonvacant sites, especially in the DPP, yet the HE fails to make the required showing that those sites “can be realistically developed” into housing during the planning period (2023-2031). As I explain in the conclusion, a better approach is to increase the density and height limits on the church and CalTrans sites.

Discussion of info that an HE must contain and Orinda’s failure to provide that info
“The inventory sites that have potential for residential developed can include non-vacant and underutilized sites (Section 65583.2(b)(3)). The element must include an explanation of the methodology for determining the realistic buildout potential of these sites within the planning period (Section 65583.2(g)).”
https://link.edgepilot.com/s/2f115a93/9RsgTV4MHUCXTo04RkHXMg? u=https://hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml Orinda has not presented any “explanation of the methodology” as is required. “If the inventory identifies non-vacant sites to address a portion of the regional housing need allocation, the housing element must describe the additional realistic development potential within the planning period. The analysis must describe the methodology used to establish the development potential and consider all of the following: 1) the extent existing uses may constitute an impediment to additional residential development, 2) the jurisdiction's past 15 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 330 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) experience converting existing uses to higher density residential development, 3) the current market demand for the existing use, including an analysis of any known existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development, 4) development trends, 5) market conditions, and 6) availability of regulatory and/or other incentives, such as expedited permit processing and fee waivers or deferrals.”
https://link.edgepilot.com/s/2f115a93/9RsgTV4MHUCXTo04RkHXMg? u=https://hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml Orinda has not presented any analysis of any of the six required considerations.

Especially missing is #3.
“Existing Uses — The housing element must demonstrate non-vacant and/or underutilized sites in the inventory that can be realistically developed with residential uses or more-intensive residential uses at densities appropriate to accommodate the regional housing need (by income) within the planning period. The housing element must describe all existing uses (such as surplus school site, operating business, nursery, etc.) and evaluate the extent these uses would constitute an impediment to new residential development. Among other things, this analysis includes considerations for the current market demand for the existing use, an analysis of any known existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development, and could include other market conditions that would encourage redevelopment of the property like the condition or age of existing uses, or valuation. For example, an analysis might describe an identified site as being developed with a 1960’s strip commercial center with few tenants and, therefore, a good candidate for redevelopment, versus a site containing a newly opened retail center that is unlikely going to be available for residential development within the planning period.”
https://link.edgepilot.com/s/2f115a93/9RsgTV4MHUCXTo04RkHXMg? u=https://hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/site-inventoryanalysis/analysis-of-sites-and-zoning.shtml Orinda has not presented any of the highlighted information.

This failure is shown most dramatically in “description” column in Table 5-4. (Page 133.) There is no mention of substance of the meetings/discussions 16 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 331 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) referred to. No mention of existing leases. No mention of whether owners are interested in converting their properties to residential use. There is no showing that that site can be “realistically developed” into residential use.

The same failure is present in the discussion of “opportunity sites” in Section

5.7.3 on page 136 and Table 5-5 on page 138. In fact, the Miramonte site (Table 5-5 (page 138)) cannot be counted (187 low income units) because the HE explicitly says “The City had conversations with the school district regarding housing development but no decisions have been made.” (Page 136.) It follows that there is no showing that that site can be “realistically developed” into residential use; the opposite is shown.

Section 5.7.5 on pages 141-42 does not adequately cure this flaw; it only addresses the city’s limited history with non-commercial sites. Nothing about commercial tenancies. Nothing about the specific commercial tenancies. For that reason, the following statement is misleading:

5.7.5 Development of Nonvacant Sites The City has a track record of developing affordable and market-rate housing on non-vacant sites, including church property, school district-owned sites, and other parcels that have underdeveloped and or underutilized land, including the former City’s library.

The nonvacant sites in the DPP are commercial sites, and the City HAS NO TRACK RECORD of redevelopment of such sites for residential uses.

Note that staff has all but abandoned the notion of residential over commercial units; staff is leaving open the possibility that residential uses will occupy ground floor.
“Action 1.A. Downtown Precise Plan….Ensure (a) at least 50 percent of the shortfall of low-
and very low-income regional housing need can be
accommodated on sites designated for exclusively residential uses, or (b) if accommodating more than 50 percent of the low- and very low-income regional housing need on sites designated for mixed-uses, all sites designated for mixed-uses must allow 100 percent residential use and require residential use to occupy at least 50 percent of the floor area in a mixed-use project.” (Page 176, third bullet point.)
17 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 332 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) Thus, the original intent of the DPP – commercial “revitalization” of downtown (a notion never defined and thereby able to garner broad if misguided support) - - is unlikely to be realized.

Conclusion and suggestions for a compliant HE
For the foregoing reasons, Orinda’s Draft Housing Element Public Comment Draft April 2022 released 3-31-2022 cannot legally be certified by HCD, and will not be certified.

As investigation into the nonvacant sites proceeds, it will become apparent that the capacity proposed by Placeworks and staff is excessive and unrealistic, and will not pass muster with HCD.

Accordingly, what needs to happen is for the density, height, and resulting capacity of the church sites and CalTrans site to be increased, to provide the needed capacity.

The CalTrans site is particularly important; it is 10 acres of vacant land that, if rezoned to 80 d.u./ac (rather than the 40 proposed by staff), could accommodate 800 low and moderate income units, essentially the city’s entire RHNA for those categories. A density of 80 d.u./acre is not unreasonable; staff previously proposed a higher density for country club plaza and is proposing 75 for the BART parking lot. (Table 5-5, page 149.) There are no nearby neighbors to object to such density.

Of all of the sites listed in the HE, the church sites, to the best of my knowledge, are the only sites where the owners responded favorably to a city survey asking if they were interested in affordable housing. As such, they are especially important to obtaining certification of the HE, for the reasons stated above. The city should be maximizing that opportunity.

I believe all of the church sites south of downtown (see Table 5-4, p. 138*, and Figure 5-4, p. 139) could easily accommodate greater density and a higher height limit. The St. John’s Lutheran Church (C-4 among the opportunity sites listed in the Table and Figure) is particularly appropriate because it abuts Orinda Oaks Park. The graving goats are unlikely to object. And insofar as anyone may be concerned about slightly taller buildings within sight of a park, please consider the massive number of expensive, high rise residential building along Fifth Avenue and Central Park West in New York City.

For the foregoing reasons, the Draft HE should be revised. 18 H.1.b

Agenda April 5, 2022: Draft Housing Element: BART letter dated March 7, 2022 is a game changer requiring a rewrite of the Housing Element The Draft Housing Element (“HE”) needs to be completely done based on a letter from BART dated March 7, 2022.

The Draft states, “As noted in a letter from BART on March 7, 2022, the BART Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Work Plan identifies the Orinda station in the mid-term phasing plan with an estimated timeframe of 2025-2030. While this would be within the Housing Element planning period, the challenges with ownership and other constraints may not likely result in housing development during the 6th Cycle.” BART’s position is a complete reversal from the previous discussions with BART in which BART advised the City that BART was not interested in housing on the BART parking lots. Based on the prior discussions, consideration of the BART lots was deferred.

Now, however, BART has changed its position. Orinda cannot afford to rely on staff’s speculation that housing “may not likely result” on the BART lots during the 6th Cycle; i.e., 2023-2031: the period covered by the Housing Element, because of the risk of being overwhelmed by population growth. If housing wasn’t likely, BART would not have included Orinda in its March 7, 2022 letter.

As I have previously shown, the current Draft of the Housing Element creates a risk of doubling Orinda’s population. And that assumed no housing on the BART lots.

There are approximately 14.5 acres of parking lots useable for housing. See Table 5-5, page 138, “assumed acreage” column. Assume, as the city does, 75 20 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 335 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) d.u./acre minimum. See same Table; see also section 5.7.4 of the HE, page 141. Thus, 1,087 units could be built. At an average of 2.71 people per unit (Orinda’s average per 2020 census), that would add an additional almost 3,000 people. Orinda cannot take the risk, and there is no reason to take the risk, of even more people being added to our population.

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER.

The HE needs to be completely rethought, with the 1,087 possible BART units replacing the same number of units currently in the Draft HE. Orinda cannot control what BART does, or when BART does it. But Orinda can save the downtown businesses that have served us so very well for decades, by removing all units in the Downtown Precise Plan from the HE.

Hello,
BART is aware that all Bay Area jurisdictions are actively working on updating their Housing Elements to meet their Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers, as required by the State of California. As part of the process, local governments are required to prepare an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment. As such, cities and counties with BART stations may be considering BART land in their inventories. Building on our recent conversations about the development potential and timing of implementing transit-oriented development (TOD) projects on BART land, we wanted to reach out and confirm your community’s goals with respect to development at the station(s) in your community.

BART acknowledges that public land, including ours, can play an important role in addressing the region’s housing crisis. However, given BART’s limited staffing resources and very limited funding sources for structured parking that is often required to open up BART’s land for development, it would be challenging for BART’s TOD program to support the development of all the land that might be included in various jurisdiction’s housing elements during the planning period of 2023-2031. Understanding that including our land in a housing element does provide a good opportunity to initiate housing development with the support of the community, we would like to ensure that local jurisdictions are prepared to partner with us on addressing the barriers that may exist at a particular station.

In an effort to support our local jurisdiction partners as they go through the process of updating their Housing Elements, we encourage you to review BART’s Transit-Oriented Development Program Work Plan ( TOD Work Plan, 2020) before considering BART’s land for your 2023-2031 Housing Element as it identifies BART’s prioritized sites for TOD implementation. The TOD Work Plan incorporated input from many local agency staff on preferred timing for project initiation and the types of projects they wanted to see in BART’s station areas.

The first step in creating the TOD Work Plan was to determine how BART was tracking towards meeting the TOD program performance targets that were adopted by BART’s Board of Directors in 2016. The next step was to prioritize station areas based on three criteria:

1. Market readiness for TOD

2. Local support for TOD

3. Infrastructure needs

Packet Pg. 337 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) Taking into consideration BART staff and resources, the final step was to categorize undeveloped station areas by the following timeframes for initiating development:

For station areas categorized as Near-term in BART’s TOD Work Plan, we support including the stations in your Housing Element, if that is your goal.

For station areas categorized as Mid-term in BART’s TOD Work Plan, we would like to have further discussions with you about the timing of development before it is included in Housing Element. BART will most likely not be able to initiate development at all the station areas in the Mid-term category within the 2023-2031 Housing Element planning period, so further discussions with you are necessary to better understand what would need to occur to realistically develop the site. We understand that there are new rules regarding how often a site can be included in a housing element and we want to ensure that we are coordinating on the timing of development to meet both BART’s goals and those of the local jurisdiction.

For station areas categorized as Long-term in BART’s TOD Work Plan, we do not intend to develop the station area within the current Housing Element planning period of 2023-2031. BART does not recommend including our station area in your Housing Element at this time. However, the TOD Work Plan will be updated on a regular basis, and we are happy to coordinate with you if the intention is to include this site in a future Housing Element. If you still plan to include our land in the current Housing Element cycle, please let us know so that we can have further conversations about what would need to happen to initiate development.

The timing of initiating development at a particular station area may be affected by many factors, including BART’s transit operational needs and funding availability to complete the project in a timely 23 H.1.b
Packet Pg. 338 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Late Correspondence (2748 : Draft Housing Element) manner. Over the next several years, BART will consider availability of local funding to support development, especially affordable housing, as a key factor in advancing projects.

Additionally, BART will be seeking projects that can be rapidly delivered through seamless coordination with local jurisdiction staff as a key factor in advancing sites to development. One example will be cooperation on finding BART parking and access solutions that maximize development on highly desirable land near station entrances by minimizing the number of structured parking stalls. In this example, creative solutions could include options such as shared, on-street parking, and district parking as well as significant investment in access infrastructure and programs to reduce overall parking demand. In the event a high level of BART parking is necessary, outside funding sources will need to be identified.

Delivering TOD projects is complex and requires productive partnerships between BART and local jurisdictions and we look forward to working with you to realize our shared goal of increasing the amount of housing near transit.

Sincerely,

To: Orinda City Council
From: Owen Murphy, Orinda Citizen
Re: Housing Element Draft (version dated 3/31/2022)
Thank you for affording Orinda citizens the opportunity to review this public document. This draft includes valuable Orinda facts, is well-formatted and is seemingly constructed by experienced hands (Placeworks?) in “HCD-speak”, for maximum impact in Sacramento, as it should be.

Here are a few overall thoughts and some specific comments.

1.) Please omit the comment on Page 132, effectively stating that “some sites are evaluated up to 85 units/acre in the EIR”. Why does HCD need to know this? It only undermines the fundamental Housing Element proposal of 25 units/acre (in DO areas) and 30 units/acre (in DC areas). Leaving in the 85 units/acre comment can only cause problems for Orinda. There is no upside and a huge downside. Don’t put this into the minds of HCD!!!

2.) Unlike Orinda’s existing Housing Element, which specifies a maximum building height of 35 feet, this draft seems to omit a specific measure of building height. This is a most important matter, especially for those residential neighborhoods abutting the DC and DO areas. Omitting a specific number now, seems like a deliberate attempt to muffle public input until it is “too late” to do so.

3.) Page 103 notes that Orinda citizen input tended to argue for affordable housing sites o be spread around the city (i.e. church properties, etc). Only outsider organizations argued for jamming the affordable housing into the DC and DO areas. Yet it was this corporate, outsider input, not the citizen input, that has been incorporated into this draft. Why? This calls for more public discussion and dialogue at the city council level.

4.) The BART TOD guidelines are scary: 75 units/acre and a building height >= 5 stories. This draft seems to whistle past the graveyard, even though BART itself claims that their plans (2025) fall well within this Housing Element window (2023-2031). Is it prudent to avoid BART development or just convenient and wishful thinking, for this cycle?

5.) It makes this citizen uneasy that the Housing Element, Safety Element and EIR, which should be well-coordinated, do not seem to be so. For example, I have written and spoken in the past, regarding the potential danger along Moraga Way if the “BevMo Block” goes to high density residential zoning. The Safety Element (wildfire threat, evacuations paths, etc) should be a powerful consideration to keep Sacramento-based, HCD of a reasonable mind. Can Housing and Safety Elements be presented and reviewed simultaneously, as a package, in Sacramento? Thank you again for opportunity to comment.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
» Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
• State law requires HCD to determine total regional housing needs • The RHNA is the number of units each jurisdiction is required to plan for in each Housing Element Update
» HCD provided a regional allocation to Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
• ABAG established a methodology to distribute the regional allocation amongst each county and each jurisdiction
• Units are divided by affordability tiers (very low, low, moderate and above moderate) H.1.c
Packet Pg. 348 Attachment: April 5, 2022 Planning Commission Presentation (2748 : Draft Housing Element) City of Orinda | Housing Element Update | 7
More About RHNA
» The RHNA for the upcoming housing element is increased significantly (498% increase) • 2015-2023 Housing Element Cycle (current): 227 units
• 2023-2031 Housing Element Cycle (upcoming): 1,359 units (587 lower income units) » The City should plan for additional sites (buffer) to avoid a “no net loss” situation for the Lower income RHNA
• A Net Loss would occur if a site planned for housing is developed at a different number and income level than identified in the Land Inventory, and if the remaining undeveloped sites on the list cannot address the remaining RHNA
• If a site on the Sites Inventory receives building permit(s) prior to June 30, 2022, it will be removed from the inventory for the upcoming Housing Element
» Planning for a 25% buffer would mean identifying sites to accommodate at least 734 lower income units H.1.c

» Possible constraints to consider:
• Timing: BART identified site as mid-term phasing with an estimated timeframe of 2025- 2030 • Ownership: Owned by Caltrans and subject to BART easement • Density/Height: BART would be unlikely to consider anything below the 5-story, 75 du/ac specified in their TOD plan for Orinda’s station
• Both Parking Lots: It is assumed that BART would request that both parking lots are considered together as one.
• Parking: Likely a loss of parking spaces for BART users, even though the station is classified as “auto dependent” (at this time BART is focusing on stations that are less dependent on parking)
• Development Standards: City will be in a better position if it develops a specific plan for the site before rezoning; the recommendation is that this should be considered when the next (7th) cycle Housing Element is prepared.

AGENDA TITLE: Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation Entity
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive Report, Discuss, and Determine Whether to Consider Possibly Joining a Community Choice Aggregation Entity, Provide Direction to Staff Regarding Whether to Request that Marin Clean Energy of Other Community Choice Aggregation Entity Make a Presenation at a Future City Council Meeting.

BACKGROUND: On March 1, 2022, as a Matter Initiated, the City Council requested a future agenda item to discuss the possibility of revisiting a prior decision to not join a Community Choice Aggregation entity such as Marin Clean Energy.

DISCUSSION: Through Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), which is authorized under state law, communities can join together to pool (or aggregate) their electricity load in order to purchase clean energy and develop local projects and programs on behalf of their residents and businesses. Aggregators work in partnership with the region’s existing Investor-Owned Utility (IOU), which continues to deliver power and maintain the grid. In 2016 and 2017, the possibility of forming a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) provider for Contra Costa County was initiated by the County and reviewed by cities in the County with the matter being taken up by all cities and being on a number of Orinda City Council agendas (Attachment A). Ultimately, the County and many cities opted to join Marin Clean Energy, though the City of Orinda elected to not participate in a CCA. Attached is a current MCE Contra Costa Fact Sheet (Attachment B) which indicates that all but 4 Contra Costa cities are currently MCE members.

As another point of reference, the City of Fairfield in Solano County is the most recent city to have joined MCE, and select staff reports from their consideration are attached (Attachment C).

According to the California Community Choice Association website (https://cal-cca.org/) there are four operational models of CCAs:

Joint Powers Authority – A JPA is an independent, public agency that operates a CCA on behalf of its member municipalities. JPAs are a common legal structure in California for the administration of cooperative multi-jurisdictional programs.

MCE, Peninsula Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and Sonoma Clean Power are examples of CCAs that operate with the JPA model.

H.2
Packet Pg. 377
Single Jurisdiction – A city or county individually establishes and operates a CCA as an enterprise fund within the municipality. This model has the same benefits of the JPA model, but differs in that the City (or County) retains full program autonomy and all revenue. San Francisco and San Jose are examples of cities that have implemented CCA under the single jurisdiction model.

Hybrid JPA – Under a hybrid JPA, communities can contract for the services they need to operate a CCA by joining an existing joint-powers authority as an associate member. CalChoice is an example of a JPA, formed by the cities of Lancaster and San Jacinto, that offers a range of CCA services to cities that join as associate members. According to CalChoice, the hybrid JPA assists with CCA implementation, operation, and administration, while allowing jurisdictions to maintain local control over CCA programs.

Commercial Vendor Package – Under this model a private company manages the CCA on behalf of local government(s). King City Community Power is the only operational CCA program in California that has implemented CCA under this model.

Should the City Council wish to consider joining a CCA, staff believes joining one of the existing JPA would be the best course, with MCE being the most likely one given the commonality of member interests.

NEXT STEPS: If the Council determines it wishes to further consider joining a Community Choice Aggregation entity, it is recommended that a next step be to request the MCE or other entity make a presentation at future City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT: None as a result of this item. There would be staff time and City Attorney costs to pursue joining a CCA if the Council opts to do so in the future.

Packet Pg. 380 Attachment: MCE FAQs 3.10.2022 (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation Introduction: Who is MCE?
MCE is a public, not-for-profit electricity provider that gives all PG&E electric customers (residential, commercial, and municipal) the choice of having 60% to 100% of their electricity supplied from clean, renewable sources—such as solar, wind, bioenergy, geothermal, and hydroelectric—at competitive rates. MCE, as with all CCA’s, is regulated by the state regulatory agencies, such as the CPUC and CEC.

MCE’s mission is to confront the climate crisis by eliminating fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, producing renewable energy, and creating equitable community benefits.

MCE offers renewable power at stable rates, significantly reducing energy-related greenhouse emissions and enabling millions of dollars of reinvestment in local energy programs. MCE currently serves more than one million residents and businesses in 37 Bay Area communities in Solano, Napa, Marin and Contra Costa Counties.

How much city staff time is required when joining MCE?
Very little. MCE manages and supports the entire enrollment process of a new city joining MCE, with guidance from the city. MCE creates a city-specific and comprehensive Community Action Plan, which includes timelines, media plans, key association and local leadership meetings, event and sponsorships, public meetings, etc. City staff will be consulted on all aspects of our planning, but are not required to lend extensive staff time.

Who governs and administers MCE?
MCE is governed by a 31-member Board of Directors representing each of the member communities that it serves. MCE’s local government structure ensures public transparency. The Board conducts its business in monthly meetings that are always open to the public. For more information about our Board and Committee meetings, please see the Meeting Archive.

Are there sub-committees to the MCE Board of Directors? Yes, there are two Board committees, the Technical Committee and the Executive Committee.

Board Committee Members are elected by vote of the Board of Directors at a public meeting. As of March 10, 2022, both Board Director Gina Dawson with the City of Lafayette and Board Director Teresa Onoda with the Town of Moraga are currently serving on the Technical Committee.

Can cities consolidate their Board representation?
Yes. Member communities have the option to consolidate their Board representation with a neighboring community. For example, in Napa county Supervisor Wagenknecht represents all of the member cities in the county of Napa and there are cities in Marin County that also consolidate their Board representative.

Do MCE’s member communities assume any financial risk or obligation for participating in MCE?
No. The cities and counties have firewalled their general funds through the formation of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The debts and liabilities of the JPA do not extend to the member cities and counties. This firewall is protected by state law.

What happens if a City decides to leave MCE and the JPA? In our state’s opt-out model, a city can decide to opt out one, several or all of their municipal accounts from MCE at any time. Likewise, any resident or business can choose to opt out of H.2.a
Packet Pg. 381 Attachment: MCE FAQs 3.10.2022 (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation MCE service at any time. If, alternatively, a city council voted to leave the JPA, the city residents and businesses would no longer be eligible to remain MCE customers, and would no longer have the choice to continue to have 60% to 100% renewable power purchased on their behalf.

As part of a new community joining MCE, power will be purchased on behalf of the new customers. If a jurisdiction were interested in withdrawing their entire jurisdiction from the JPA, the jurisdiction could be responsible for reimbursing MCE for the long-term energy contracts purchased on behalf of the jurisdiction. It may be possible with advanced notice, for MCE to make adjustments to short-term energy contracts. If another new jurisdiction is joining MCE near the same time, the energy purchased on behalf of the existing jurisdiction could be transitioned to the new jurisdiction.To date, no community has left MCE’s JPA nor has any community in California voted to leave.

MCE Rates
As of March 1st, 2022, based on a typical usage of a residential customer in our service area MCE customers total bill costs are approximately 8% lower than PG&E rates.

What is Community Choice Aggregation (CCAs)?
The California energy crisis of 2000-01 motivated cities and counties to want more transparency and control over the energy contracts being entered into and the rates being paid by their communities. One of the outcomes was the 2002 legislation Assembly Bill 117 Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), which authorized “customers to aggregate their electrical loads as members of their local community with community choice aggregators”.

MCE was California’s first Community Choice Aggregation agency. Today, there are 24 operational CCAs in California.

CCAs allow cities and/or counties to aggregate electrical loads of their residents, businesses, and municipal facilities to purchase energy on their behalf. Each CCA is administered with the mission to provide alternative electricity service to their local investor-owned utility (IOU) and to reflect its community’s preferences for energy procurement and local energy programs.

H.2.a
Packet Pg. 382 Attachment: MCE FAQs 3.10.2022 (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation Why is MCE an Opt out Model?
State law has determined the opt-out model to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to receive the benefits provided by Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs such as MCE, and to maximize cost-effectiveness for all customers.

Why is there an opt out fee?
There is no cost to opt out during the120-day notice period for new communities --60 days before the start of service and 60 days afterwards. After that, MCE charges a one-time administrative fee ($5 fee for residents and $25 fee for businesses) to cover the administrative cost of returning customers to PG&E service. Note: If the $5 fee causes a financial hardship, the MCE Customer Center representatives have authorization to waive this fee.

Frequently Asked Questions:
● How do I know that MCE is actually procuring 60% or 100% renewable energy on my behalf?
We are required to report to the California Public Utilities Commission and California Energy Commission on an annual basis to verify the amount of renewable energy procured for our customers. This is the same standard used by other California utilities, such as PG&E, for verification purposes. Learn more about MCE’s verified renewable energy procurement from our most recent Power Content Label. ● Does MCE replace PG&E?
No. PG&E continues to provide all gas services, electric delivery, billing, and power line maintenance. MCE only replaces the electric generation services with 60-100% renewable energy at competitive rates.
● What is MCE’s Finance Strength?
MCE has achieved two investment-grade credit ratings, which helps MCE secure power at better rates. We have received “A” S&P and “BBB+” Fitch ratings. ● Are any tax dollars used to finance or operate MCE?
No, MCE does not receive tax dollars. MCE is funded by the revenue received from our customers based on the electricity they use.
● Will I still receive bills from PG&E?
Yes. All MCE customers are still PG&E customers. PG&E provides electric delivery services for MCE customers, like meter reading and power line maintenance. PG&E will continue to send your electric bill, which will include MCE electric generation charges.

MCE’s electric generation charges replace PG&E’s electric generation charges and account for the source of your energy. MCE is buying and building cleaner electricity supply for you. Learn more about billing.
● MCE Enrollment - Public Outreach
MCE begins enrollment planning soon after receiving approval from the CPUC that a new jurisdiction is approved to join the CCA. We will begin developing the Community Outreach Plan and schedule regular check-ins with designated city staff to keep them informed and collect input on outreach recommendations. ● What is Net Energy Metering (NEM)?
H.2.a
Packet Pg. 383 Attachment: MCE FAQs 3.10.2022 (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation NEM is the billing mechanism used to credit customers with on-site renewable energy generation. NEM is the netting out of your energy produced vs. energy used. For MCE customers, PG&E NEM and MCE NEM processes occur in parallel. Starting in 2022, enrollment of NEM customers in new service areas will occur in the month of the individual NEM customer’s PG&E true-up date – not necessarily in April with all nonNEM customers ● How does MCE’s NEM program work?
Credits accrue at retail rates and are applied toward your monthly bills during the year; any remaining retail credits are zeroed out at cash-out. Annual surplus generation is Credited at 2x the average wholesale rate (double what PG&E offers) on MCE's annual cash out each spring. Additionally, billing occurs monthly and retail credits for excess generation are applied toward bills as they accumulate.

Benefits of Joining MCE Service: Programs and Services
100% Renewable Deep Green Service: By opting up to MCE’s Deep Green service, all of the power needed for your home or business comes from 100% non-polluting wind and solar power produced here in California.

MCE’s Workforce Education & Training program matches local contractors with pre-qualified job seekers. MCE pre-qualifies trained workers by partnering with local workforce development programs. MCE then matches them to contractors that need staff. MCE pays the job seekers for on-the-job experience to help them to gain future employment.

MCE has supported approximately 5,000 California construction jobs and 160+ operations and maintenance jobs that are temporary, but last the lifetime of the generating project. Additionally, MCE has supported 1.4 million labor hours; over 800,000 of these are union labor.

More information on MCE’s Energy and Cost Savings Programs: MCE has created programs to help customers save money and energy. By partnering with MCE, Orinda residents and businesses have access to participation in programs, such as:
● Residential Energy Savings offering free energy-saving tool kits, and home assessment and upgrades.

Date:

Department:

January 19, 2016
Administration
AGENDA TITLE: Discuss the Community Choice Aggregation options, including the programs sponsored by Contra Costa County, Marin Clean Energy and Alameda County.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council review, discuss, and receive comments regarding the request from Contra Costa County to explore Community Choice Aggregation options and Direct Staff to Explore the Options by Approving a Request from Contra Costa County to Obtain Data for a Community Choice Aggregation Study.

BACKGROUND:

On November 19, 2015, the City received a request from Contra Costa County for authorization to obtain City electric load data from PG&E for a Community Choice Aggregation Study.

Assembly Bill (AB) 117 (2002) established Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) in California. CCA is a mechanism through which electrical consumers that normally can only access "bundled" electricity service (supply, transmission, and distribution) through a single utility can elect to procure electricity from an alternative supplier. AB 117 describes essential CCA program elements and requires the State's utilities to provide certain services to CCAs, including transmission, distribution, metering, and billing.

CCA allows local governments to purchase and/or develop clean power on behalf of their residents, businesses, and municipal accounts. CCA is an energy supply model that works in partnership with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to deliver renewable electricity, maintain the energy grid, and provide customer service and billing. Locally, Marin and Sonoma Counties have already established Community Choice Aggregation programs, Marin Clean Energy (MCE) in 2008 and Sonoma CleanPower in 2011.

In October 2015, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors directed County staff to research the County's options for implementing Community Choice Aggregation (CCA).

Two initial steps in the research process are for the County to collect electrical demand data for each city and the unincorporated area from the current electrical supplier, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and for the County to perform a study to analyze electrical demand and estimate electrical rates that might be charged under CCA. 10f4
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 385 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a The County has requested the assistance of cities in obtaining electrical demand data and funding a portion of the research (Attachment A). In order for the County to collect demand data for Orinda from PG&E, the City must provide authorization. In addition, the County is requesting that interested cities contribute funds to support the cost of a technical study, which could amount to approximately $15,000 for Orinda.

Potential benefits of CCA include increased local control over electricity supply, increased supply of renewable energy, and the potential for reduced electricity rates. The following table summarizes the status of Community Choice Aggregation in Contra Costa Communities.

SUMMARY:

In addition to the option of joining the research process for Contra Costa County, there is an option of joining an established Clean Energy Program such as Marin Clean Energy or the soon to be established Alameda County, East Bay Clean Power.

On November 4, the County presented an overview of CCA and outlined the schedule of activities that needed to be implemented to lay the groundwork for a Contra Costa County JPA. Representatives from MCE and Alameda County also attended the meeting on November 4 to answer questions regarding their programs. Additionally, at the December Mayor's Conference, Contra Costa County representative Jason Crapo announced the outreach to cities and briefly described the proposed program. Staff is recommending that the City Council respond to the request, and authorize the County to collect electrical demand data for Orinda and approve the expenditure of up to $15,000 toward the technical study.

~ Costs are waived until March 31, 2016 if a non-binding Letter of Intent is submitted before that date. If a LOI is submitted, to continue the process, Council must:
o Approve an Ordinance, Resolution and submit a
Memorandum of Understanding which provides MCE the
authority to obtain electric load data from PG&E which is binding. MCE will then conduct a Membership Analysis that includes:
../ The effect of the addition of Orinda residents on
greenhouse gas emissions, and;
../ An Electricity Generation Study that will determine if Orinda rates will remain at the same or a lower level.
../ Upon the completion of both of these litmus tests,
MCE Board votes for inclusion in the program.

NEXT STEPS:

If Council directs staff to move forward with authorizing the County to access the PG&E data, then staff will respond to the County Administrator indicating the City's interest in authorizing the County to obtain our load data from PG&E. 30f4

RE: Request for Authorization to Obtain City Electric Load Data for Community Choice Aggregation Study
Dear Ms. Keeter:

On October 13, 2015, the Board of Supervisors directed County staff to investigate three alternatives for Community Choice Aggregation in the unincorporated area of the County, and to engage cities within the County to determine the interest of cities in studying these alternatives. The three alternatives under consideration are as follows:
• Form a new Joint Powers Authority (JPA) comprised of the County and interested cities within Contra Costa County for the purpose of Community Choice Aggregation • Form a new JPA comprised of interested cities in Contra Costa County and Alameda County and its participating cities for the purpose of Community Choice Aggregation • Join the existing Community Choice Aggregation JPA established in Marin County, known as Marin Clean Energy
Please reply to this letter by January 31, 2016, to indicate your city's interest in authorizing the County to obtain your city's electrical load data from PG&E for the purpose of studying alternatives for Community Choice Aggregation, and to indicate your city's willingness to share in the cost of such a study. A sample resolution and letter of authorization are attached for your convenience; either document is sufficient to meet PG&E's approval requirements.

Attachment A
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 389 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Request for Authorization to Obtain City Load Data from PG& Background
2 Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) is the practice of aggregating consumer electricity demand within a jurisdiction or region for the purpose of procuring electricity and selling it to customers.

Authorized in California State law since 2002, Community Choice Aggregation has been practiced in several states across the country for the past few decades.

CCA has benefits, costs and risks for local governments to consider. Potential benefits include increasing the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources; lower electricity rates for residents, business and public agencies; increased competition in the electricity market; and, greater local control over decisions related to the procurement and consumption of electricity.

Costs and risks associated with CCAinclude the cost of the various start-up activities necessary to initiate service to customers and the risk these costs may not be recovered. Costs and risks will vary depending on the CCAalternatives chosen by local jurisdictions.

The investigation of CCAalternatives in Contra Costa County requires a technical study to estimate the electricity rates that would be charged to customers under the three CCAalternatives under consideration. Such a technical study requires that electricity load data for each participating jurisdiction be obtained from PG&E. Subject to direction by the Board of Supervisors, my office will initiate such a data request on behalf of participating jurisdictions within the County. The County is interested to know if your city will authorize the County Administrator to request load data on the City's behalf. Your permission for the County to request your community's electrical load data from PG&E would in no way obligate your city to participate in CCA.

Once electricltv load data is received by the County from PG&E for participating jurisdictions, this data may be used to conduct a technical study that will evaluate electricity demand within these jurisdictions to estimate the electricity rates that would be charged to customers under the three CCA alternatives being considered. The County is interested to know if the City would be willing to share in the cost of this technical study. The total cost of the study would likely be in the range of $75,000 - $150,000. The County proposes this cost would be shared among the participating jurisdictions. For example, if the County and nine cities were to share in the cost of the technical study, the estimated cost for each participating jurisdiction would be in the range of $7,500 to $15,000. Following the conclusion of this study, participating jurisdictions would evaluate its findings and decide whether to pursue one of the CCAalternatives studied. Depending on the chosen course of action, some or all of the start-up costs may be recoverable.

To assist County residents, business owners, elected officials, and other interested parties to better understand Community Choice Aggregation, the County will host three (3) workshops in West, Central and East County during the month of December. The meeting times and locations are as follows:

Subject: Support for Electrical Load Data Request to study the feasibility of a Community Choice Aggregation Program in the County of Contra Costa
Dear Mr. Twa:

We have reviewed your letter in which you explain the County's plan to request from PG&E the County of Contra Costa's electric energy use data, i.e. electricity consumption and load data for all customer classes and customers located within the County's unincorporated land area and within the jurisdictions of the County, including [name of city]. We support this request and authorize the County of Contra Costa to receive and analyze the electrical load data on behalf of the City.

We understand that this data will be used to investigate the feasibility of electrical procurement options through a potential Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program that could cover all or part of Contra Costa County. We understand that by making this authorization and request, the City of [name of city] is not obligated to pursue any alternative electricity procurement through a CCA program in the future.

AGENDA TITLE:

Contra Costa County's Community Choice Energy Technical Study STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider a presentation by Contra Costa County on Community Choice Energy (CCE) and discuss and receive comments regarding the request from Contra Costa County to authorize up to $10,000 to participate as a Party in a Technical Study of Electrical Load Data for Community Choice Energy.

BACKGROUND:

On January 19, 2016, the City Council reviewed a request from Contra Costa County for authorization to obtain Orinda's electrical load data from PG&E for a Community Choice Aggregation Study and assist in financing the technical study (Attachment A). The City Council authorized release of the data, but did not commit to pursue Community Choice Aggregation further or authorize a financial contribution due to lack of information (Attachment B).

Since that time, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors held a hearing on March 15, 2016 considering three options for further pursuit of CCE alternatives (Attachment C). The Board of Supervisors chose "Option 1": Work with interested cities in Contra Costa County to obtain electrical load data from PG&E and conduct a technical study of the following three CCE alternatives:
• Form a new joint powers authority (JPA) of the County and interested cities within Contra Costa County for the purpose of implementing CCE • Join Marin Clean Energy (MCE)
• Form a new JPA with Alameda County and the interested group of cities in the two-county region.

The County has begun to move forward with Option 1 by drafting a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the technical study (Attachment D). A preliminary draft of the technical study RFP has also been prepared (Attachment E). The technical study will analyze electrical load data for all County jurisdictions that are not already members of MCE and therefore would be eligible to participate in a JPA. The MOU differentiates between "Parties" and "Partners." Parties include the unincorporated County as well as cities that have contributed financially to the technical study. Those jurisdictions that H.2.b
Packet Pg. 394 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a decide not to contribute financially to the technical study will be included as Partners.

Partners will not be included in the technical study RFP development, consultant selection or draft review process, but data from these jurisdictions will be analyzed as part of the study and these jurisdictions will have the option to join a JPA at a later date.

The current listing of Parties and Partners for the technical study is presented in the table below, along with financial contributions.

City Cost Sharing for Tech Study Role in Tech Study
Antioch Not participating Partner
Brentwood Yes, not to exceed $30,000 Party
Clayton Yes, not to exceed $5,000 Party
Concord Yes, not to exceed $25,000 Party
Danville Yes, not to exceed $18,000 Party

Pittsburg Yes, not to exceed $15,000 Party
Pleasant Hill Yes, not to exceed $15,000 Party
Richmond Joined MCE Not Included
San Pablo Joined MCE Not Included
San Ramon Pending TBD
Walnut Creek Joined MCE Not Included
SUMMARY:

In order to be included in the MOU as a Party rather than a Partner, Jason Crapo of Contra Costa County's Department of Conservation and Development has requested that the Council authorize a financial contribution not to exceed $10,000 by May 27, 2016 (Attachment F).

H.2.b
Packet Pg. 395 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Mr. Crapo will present the materials contained in Attachment G and will be available to respond to questions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If Orinda decides to become a Party in the MOU, the County will be responsible for paying the consultant conducting the technical study, but will request reimbursement from Orinda in an amount proportional to Orinda's 2015 population as a percentage of the overall population of all MOU parties. The maximum reimbursement expected for Orinda is $10,000. Therefore, authorization of $10,000 would be required from the City Council at this time.

The actual amount Orinda would owe the County for the City's share of the technical study will be calculated as follows:
[(Total Consultant Charges)] x [(City's 2015 Population) + (Population of all MOU parties)] = Amount of City's Reimbursement to County
This actual amount cannot be calculated at this time because it will depend on the final cost of the technical study and whether or not other undecided cities (San Ramon, Moraga and Pinole) join the MOU. A draft allocation of actual cost for the technical study is provided as Attachment H. The draft allocation for Orinda, assuming a study cost of $150,000 and assuming that all four undecided cities join the MOU, would be $4,168.

If the County decides to form a JPA for a new CCE program as a result of the technical study, Orinda could choose to participate in that JPA and would be reimbursed for the City's financial contribution to the technical study through revenues of the new CCE program.

If Orinda decides to instead be a Partner in the technical study, there will be no cost impact unless the City opts into a JPA in the future.

Administration
AGENDA TITLE: Discuss the Community Choice Aggregation options, including the programs sponsored by Contra Costa County, Marin Clean Energy and Alameda County.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council review, discuss, and receive comments regarding the request from Contra Costa County to explore Community Choice Aggregation options and Direct Staff to Explore the Options by Approving a Request from Contra Costa County to Obtain Data for a Community Choice Aggregation Study.

BACKGROUND:

On November 19, 2015, the City received a request from Contra Costa County for authorization to obtain City electric load data from PG&E for a Community Choice Aggregation Study.

Assembly Bill (AB) 117 (2002) established Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) in California. CCA is a mechanism through which electrical consumers that normally can only access "bundled" electricity service (supply, transmission, and distribution) through a single utility can elect to procure electricity from an alternative supplier. AB 117 describes essential CCA program elements and requires the State's utilities to provide certain services to CCAs, including transmission, distribution, metering, and billing.

CCA allows local governments to purchase and/or develop clean power on behalf of their residents, businesses, and municipal accounts. CCA is an energy supply model that works in partnership with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to deliver renewable electricity, maintain the energy grid, and provide customer service and billing. Locally, Marin and Sonoma Counties have already established Community Choice Aggregation programs, Marin Clean Energy (MCE) in 2008 and Sonoma CleanPower in 2011.

In October 2015, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors directed County staff to research the County's options for implementing Community Choice Aggregation (CCA).

Two initial steps in the research process are for the County to collect electrical demand data for each city and the unincorporated area from the current electrical supplier, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and for the County to perform a study to analyze electrical demand and estimate electrical rates that might be charged under CCA. 1 af4 Attachment A
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 398 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a The County has requested the assistance of cities in obtaining electrical demand data and funding a portion of the research (Attachment A). In order for the County to collect demand data for Orinda from PG&E, the City must provide authorization. In addition, the County is requesting that interested cities contribute funds to support the cost of a technical study, which could amount to approximately $15,000 for Orinda.

Potential benefits of CCA include increased local control over electricity supply, increased supply of renewable energy, and the potential for reduced electricity rates. The following table summarizes the status of Community Choice Aggregation in Contra Costa Communities.

SUMMARY:

In addition to the option of joining the research process for Contra Costa County, there is an option of joining an established Clean Energy Program such as Marin Clean Energy or the soon to be established Alameda County, East Bay Clean Power.

On November 4, the County presented an overview of CCA and outlined the schedule of activities that needed to be implemented to lay the groundwork for a Contra Costa County JPA. Representatives from MCE and Alameda County also attended the meeting on November 4 to answer questions regarding their programs. Additionally, at the December Mayor's Conference, Contra Costa County representative Jason Crapo announced the outreach to cities and briefly described the proposed program. Staff is recommending that the City Council respond to the request, and authorize the County to collect electrical demand data for Orinda and approve the expenditure of up to $15,000 toward the technical study.

authority to obtain electric load data from PG&E which is binding. MCE will then conduct a Membership Analysis that includes:
./ The effect of the addition of Orinda residents on
greenhouse gas emissions, and;
./ An Electricity Generation Study that will determine if Orinda rates will remain at the same or a lower level.
./ Upon the completion of both of these litmus tests,
MCE Board votes for inclusion in the program.

NEXT STEPS:

If Council directs staff to move forward with authorizing the County to access the PG&E data, then staff will respond to the County Administrator indicating the City's interest in authorizing the County to obtain our load data from PG&E. 30f4

SUbject: Support for Electrical Load Data Request
Dear Mr. Twa:

We have reviewed your letter in which you explain the County's plan to request from PG&E the County of Contra Costa's electric energy use data, i.e. electricity consumption and load data for all customer classes and customers located within the County's unincorporated land area and within the jurisdictions of the County, including the City of Orinda. At Its meeting on January 19, 2016. the Orinda City CoUncil discussed this request and authorized the County of Contra Costa to receive the electrical load data for the City of Orinda.

We understand that this data Will be used by the County to investigate the feasibility of electrical procurement options through a potential Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program that could cover all or part of Contra Costa County. The City of Orinda has not yet detennlned whether It will investigate CCA further, and would need additional information from the County before making such a detennination. I understand that by giving the County this data authOrization, the City of Orinda is not obligated to Investigate or pursue a CCA program in the future. Likewise, at this time, the City of Orinda is not offering or committing any funds towards the cost of the CCA feaslbilHy study proposed by the County. Again, the City of Orinda would need additional infonnation from the County before taking such a step.

Packet Pg. 405 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a FISCAL IMPACT:

Option 1: Technical Study
The estimated cost of the activities associated with partnering with cities within the County to conduct a technical study of Community Choice Energy is $400,000. This includes an estimated $225,000 in consulting services and $175,000 in County staff costs to manage the project. Staff recommends that the cities be proposed to share in the cost of the technical study consultant, which would reduce the County's overall cost to $300,000.

These costs would include an amendment to the County's current consulting services contact with LEAN Energy to increase the contract limit by $75,000 to assist DCD with obtaining electrical load data from PG&E, refining the scope of the technical study and developing the RFP, evaluating proposals from consultants for conducting the technical study, interpreting the results of the technical study and reporting the findings of the technical study to cities, the JOC and the Board of Supervisors. LEAN Energy would also assist County staff in conducting community outreach activities to provide information and education to the public and to gather public input to assist decision-makers in evaluating the results of the technical study.

The cost of the actions associated with Option 1 also includes an estimated $50,000 for the County's share of cost for conducting a technical study. The total cost of the technical study is estimated to be up to $150,000. The balance of the cost not paid by the County is proposed to be paid by participating cities proportionate to their share of the total population of the jurisdictions covered by the study.

The estimated $175,000 cost of County staff time for management of the activities associated with Option 1 includes DCD staff time until the end of 2016 at a cost of approximately $150,000 plus the cost of County Counsel staff time, estimated to be $25,000 during 2016.

If a technical study resulted in the County taking additional steps to implement a CCE program, such steps would involve additional time and expense. The cost of these aditional steps would depend on the outcome of the study. The estimated schedule and budget following completion of a technical study is described in more detail in Attachment E to this report. The greatest expense would be associated with a scenario involving the formation of a new joint powers authority of the County and cities within Contra Costa County. The cost of forming such a JPA and launching a program is estimated to be approximately $2 million. These costs would likely be reimbursed by the JPA to the County from CCE program revenues.

Option 2: Take Steps to Join MCE
The estimated cost of activities associated with studying membership in MCE that would be comparable to a full technical study is minimal. There may be some research required of County staff and consultants to answer questions the Board may have regarding MCE, but the estimated cost of addressing these issues would be no more than $10,000.

H.2.b
Packet Pg. 406 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a If the Board reaches a decision to join MCE and directs staff to take the actions necessary to do so, there would would be additional costs of approximately $50,000 associated with County staff time in DCD and County Counsel related to preparing an ordinance and resolution for adoption by the Board, assisting MCE with program launch activities, and coordinating with Contra Costa cities regarding MCE membership. These costs could be described as "back-end" costs and are not comparable to the "front-end" costs associated with the costs of a technical study as described in Option 1 above. The back-end costs of $50,000 are more comparable to the back-end costs associated with JPA formation and program launch activities that might follow a technical study, as described more fully in Attachment E.

Option 3: Abbreviated Technical Study
The cost of this option is estimated to be approximately $65,000. This would include $50,000 in consulting services to perform the study and $15,000 in County staff time for project management. The cost of next steps would depend on the approach selected, similar to Option 1, however a portion ofa full technical study could be necessary if the abbreviated technical study prompted selection of the option to form a new JPA.

Summary
Overall, the cost of Option 1 (Technical Study) is by far the greatest, and the cost of Option 2 (Join MCE) is the least. Option 3 (Abbreviated Technical Study) represents a middle ground that would provide some of the benefits of a full technical study at a reduced cost and in a shorter time period.

Reimbursement and Potential Source of County Funds
The County would seek to have its costs associated with this project reimbursed in the future from the revenues of a new CCE program should a new JPA be created for this purpose. If a new JPA is not established, the County's costs are unlikely to be reimbursed.

DCD's costs related to this project in the current fiscal year, including the cost of consulting services, can be offset by the unspent portion of the $200,000 in General Fund revenues budgeted in DCD for FY 2015-2016 for the newly created position of County Sustainability Coordinator, which has not yet been filled. Depending on the direction chosen by the Board, it is anticipated that most, if not all, costs associated with this project in FY 2015-2016 can be paid for from this funding source.

BACKGROUND:

Community Choice Energy (CCE) is described in State law as Community Choice Aggregation. CCE involves cities and counties, or a joint powers authority (JP A) composed of cities and/or counties, pooling ("aggregating") retail electricity customers for the purpose of procuring and selling electricity. Under a CCE program, the CCE entity would become the default electricity provider to all electricity customers within the H.2.b
Packet Pg. 407 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a service area. Customers would have the ability to opt out of service from the CCE and return to service from the incumbent electrical utility. In Contra Costa County, the incumbent electrical utility is Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).

Following the successful launch ofCCE programs in Marin County in 2010 and Sonoma County in 2014, most other counties in the Bay Area and many counties throughout California are now in the process of implementing or studying the creation of CCE programs. The City and County of San Francisco and San Mateo County are planning to launch CCE programs in 2016. Alameda County and Santa Clara County are both in the process of establishing JPAs for this purpose and plan to launch programs in 2017.

On October 13,2015, the Board of Supervisors (Board) accepted the recommendations of the Internal Operations Committee (lOC) and directed County staff to initiate outreach to cities within Contra Costa County to determine the level of interest cities have in joining with the County to investigate three alternatives for potentially implementing CCE in Contra Costa County. These three alternatives are:

1. Form a new Joint Powers Authority (JPA) of the County and interested cities within Contra Costa County for the purpose of CCE;

2. Form a new JPA in partnership with Alameda County, and interested cities in both counties; and

3. Join the existing CCE program initiated in Marin County known as Marin Clean Energy, or MCE
At its meeting on February 29,2016, the lOC considered a status report from the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) concerning CCE and heard from numerous members of the public. The IOC directed DCD to prepare a report to the Board of Supervisors (Board) presenting options for proceeding with potential implementation of CCE in the County's jurisdiction, including continuing work with cities to complete a technical study of the three CCE alternatives mentioned above, or proceeding with steps to join the CCE program known as Marin Clean Energy (MCE). Subsequent to the IOC meeting, staff identified an additional option not discussed at the lOC meeting, which is for the County to conduct an abbreviated technical study summarizing other technical studies that have been recently released by Bay Area cities and counties, and including a comparison of tradeoffs between CCE alternatives.

Results of Outreach to Contra Costa Cities
Between November 2015 and January 2016, County staff conducted a variety of outreach activities to engage cities on the topic of CCE. These activities included meetings with City Managers and other city staff: attendance at the December 3, 2015 Mayors Conference, three public workshops in mid-December held in different regions of the County, and presentations provided by County staff and consultants at five City Council meetings during the month of January.

On November 13,2015, the County Administrator sent a letter (Attachment A) to all City H.2.b
Packet Pg. 408 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Managers in Contra Costa County asking for responses back from cities by January 31, 2016 indicating the level of interest cities have in partnering with the County to study CCE. This letter specifically asked if cities would authorize the County to obtain electrical load data from PG&E for the purpose of potentially conducting a technical study of CCE in Contra Costa County, and if the cities would be willing to contribute financially towards the cost of such a study if one were conducted.

To facilitate greater public understanding of CCE and assist cities in their deliberations on the subject, DCD staff and consultants hosted three public workshops in December 2015: the first on December 10 at Walnut Creek City Hall, the second on December 14 at the Hercules Public Library and the third on December 16 at the Brentwood Community Center. Average attendance at these workshops was approximately 20 people, and several cities sent representatives to attend the workshops.

During the month of January 2016, many City Councils throughout the County placed items on their agendas to discuss their interest in partnering with the County to further study implementation of CCE. County staff and consultants were invited to attend and make presentations at the Concord, Clayton, Pinole, Lafayette and Brentwood City Council meetings.

The workshops and city council meetings held in December and January generated several press articles, which can be viewed at the following links:

Responses from Cities
By the end of January, all 16 cities in Contra Costa County not currently enrolled in a CCE program (Richmond, EI Cerrito and San Pablo are currently enrolled in Marin Clean Energy) provided written responses to the County (Attachment B) authorizing the County to request electrical load data from PG&E necessary for a technical study of CCE in Contra Costa County. Approximately half of these cities indicated varying degrees of willingness to participate in the cost of a technical study of this data, should such a study proceed. These responses are summarized in Table 1 below.

Internal Operations Committee Discussion and Direction
At its meeting on February 29, 2016, the Internal Operations Committee directed staff to present the Board with information concerning two options for consideration. One option is to proceed to work with cities in Contra Costa County to conduct a technical study of alternatives for implementing CCE. The other option is to forego such a technical study and proceed immediately to apply for membership in the CCE program called Marin Clean Energy, or MCE. MCE was created in Marin County, and has now expanded to serve jurisdictions in the Counties of Marin, Napa, Solano and Contra Costa, including the cities of Richmond, EI Cerrito and San Pablo. Subsequent to the IOC meeting, staff conceived an alternative not discussed at the IOC meeting, which is for the County to conduct an abbreviated technical study summarizing other technical studies that have been recently released by Bay Area cities and counties, and including a comparison of tradeoffs between CCE alternatives.

Each of these three options has advantages and disadvantages, summarized as follows:

Option 1 - Proceed with Technical Study: Tfthe County proceeds to conduct a technical study of CCE with a group of interested Contra Costa cities, the advantages are that County and the cities will receive additional information regarding projected CCE revenues and electricity rates under various renewable energy portfolio scenarios and a comparative analysis of the three CCE alternatives under consideration. The technical study would provide information about revenues that could be generated for new local programs and initiatives to promote energy efficiency and economic development through renewable energy generation projects. The technical study would inform decisions by the Board and city councils to either implement one of the three options studied, or to take no additional action. The disadvantages of conducting a technical study H.2.b
Packet Pg. 410 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a are the time and expense associated with conducting the study.

The immediate next step in performing a technical study would be for the County to obtain electrical load data from PG&E on behalf of the County and the 16 cities that have authorized the County to do so. This would provide the County with detailed information regarding electrical usage within the covered jurisdictions, and would constitute the raw data necessary to conduct a technical study of potential CCE implementation within the County.

Based on prior Board direction, a technical study of CCE in Contra Costa County would evaluate three options: a program including only interested jurisdictions within Contra Costa County; a program that is a partnership with Alameda County and interested cities in the two-county region; and joining the existing CCE program originated in Marin County known as Marin Clean Energy, or MCE.

Such a technical study would be conducted by a qualified consultant selected through a competitive process. The technical study would evaluate electrical load data to determine the amount of electricity a CCE program would need to procure in order to serve electricity consumers in the participating communities, and would estimate the billing rates that a CCE program would need to charge electricity customers in order to pay for program operations.

The study would analyze how rates might vary under scenarios in which the CCE program offered customers different levels of electricity originating from renewable sources (for example, rates associated with 50% renewable or 100% renewable options).

Electricity rates for these scenarios would be compared to products offered by the incumbent utility, PG&E (Attachment C). The technical study would also include a risk analysis of factors that could potentially interfere with successful operation of a CCE program within the County, such as risks associated with price volatility in energy markets and risks stemming from legal or regulatory changes. CCE technical studies performed in other Bay Area counties have included additional components, including analysis of the impact a CCE program might have on local renewable power generation and local job creation.

As stated in Table 1 above, roughly half of the cities in Contra Costa County have indicated some degree of willingness to contribute financially towards the cost of a technical study. Staff recommends that if the Board directs OCD to work with cities to finalize payment arrangement and initiate the technical study, the County and each participating city pay for a portion of the cost of the technical study similar to its proportion of the total population covered under the study.

If the Board directs staff to proceed with a technical study, staff would work with the cities to finalize the scope of the technical study, develop and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP), and select a consultant to perform the technical study. The County would then enter into a contract with the selected consultant. The results of the technical H.2.b
Packet Pg. 411 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a study would be reported to the cities and the Board of Supervisors, and staff would seek further direction.

Option 2 - Join MCE: The advantages of the County proceeding to take steps now to join MCE are substantially lower start-up costs and a faster time to CCE program launch within the area served. The County would be able to leverage the considerable success MCE has achieved in creating a high-quality CCE program and would not need to go through the time and expense of recreating a similar program. A disadvantage of the County proceeding to join MCE without performing a technical study is that the County will not have access to information about the revenues projected to be generated from CCE electricity sales within the County and the potential to use such revenues to reduce consumer electricity rates, procure greater amounts of renewable energy, incentivize increased local renewable energy generation, or other purposes. Ifthe County joins MCE, the revenues generated from electricity sales in Contra Costa County will be contolled by MCE's Board of Directors, who would represent jurisdictions covering portions or all of four counties, meaning that investments in initiatives such as additional renewable energy production would be spread over a larger area and controlled by a broader group of board members than a Contra Costa JPA . The County would also forego an opportunity to more thoroughly consider the tradeoffs between the three CCE alternatives the Board has previously expressed interest in evaluating through a technical study.

MCE is now comprised of 17 member jurisdictions. These include Marin County, all 11 cities in Marin County, the County of Napa, the City of Benecia, and the cities of Richmond, EI Cerrito and San Pablo. MCE is presently accepting applications for new membership from jurisdiction within the four counties currently being served. MCE staff has indicated that all of the cities in Napa County are seeking membership during MCE's current inclusion period, which closes on March 31, 2016. Several additional cities in Contra Costa County are giving consideration to joining MCE as well, including Lafayette, Moraga, Oakley and Walnut Creek. If additional jurisdictions within the Counties of Contra Costa and Solano join MCE, the number of MCE's member jurisdictions could grow to 40 or more. MCE has weighted vote system that is 50% dependent on proportion of electrical load. Were Contra Costa Couty to join, it would likely have athe largest vote of any single member.

If the County directs staff to take steps necessary to join MCE, the technical steps involved would include the County sending a letter of interest to MCE and subsequently adopting an ordinance and entering into a joint powers agreement to join MCE. MCE staff has indicated that the County could submit a letter of interest to MCE after the current MCE inclusion period closes on March 31, 2016, and that cities could join the County in its request for membership. Opening a new inclusion period for the County and Contra Costa cities, and approval of the County's membership in MCE, would be subject to approval by MCE's Board of Directors.

County staff would work with MCE staff to complete other necessary technical and operational steps, and to conduct marketing activities within the unincorporated area as H.2.b
Packet Pg. 412 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a part of MCE' s program launch in the new service area. The Board of Supervisors would need to designate one of its members as the County's representative on the MCE Board of Directors.

Should the Board wish to further contemplate joining MCE in the near term, staff recommends the County consider several uncertainties, the outcome of which will likely have an impact on the County. These include:
• Policy and organizational changes MCE may make as it continues to evolve into a regional agency rather than one originally formed solely to serve Marin County, such as
o Change of name from MCE to a new name reflecting regional identity o Rotate the location of MCE Board meetings and add an office in Contra Costa County
o Change Board membership and voting structure as MCE membership grows o Limits on geography area served and related limits on membership • Comparison between MCE and PG&E billing rates for Contra Costa customers • Policies to promote economic development and renewable energy generation in Contra Costa County
MCE is aware that such issues may be of concern to the County and other jurisdictions considering membership in MCE. MCE is evaluating these issues, but decisions have not yet been made (see Attachment D for information from MCE concerning these and other issues ).

Option 3: Abbreviated Technical Study: Instead of conducting a full technical study, an alternative the Board may wish to consider is to conduct an abbreviated technical study that would summarize recently released technical studies conducted by other Bay Area cities and counties and would analyze tradeoffs between CCE options; for example, forming a new JPA versus joining an existing CCE program, such as MCE. The advantages of this alternative are that the Board would receive additional information regarding projected electricity rates under varying renewable energy scenarios, risk analysis, and economic development and renewable generation opportunities for jurisdictions that are similar to the County. Another advantage of this alternative is that it could be done at a lower cost and in a shorter amount of time than a full technical study, which would involve obtaining load data from PG&E and performing a detailed analysis of that data. A disadvantage of this alternative is that the analysis would not be specific to the County electricity load data and therefore some of the findings may not be as precise or reliable as a full technical study. Also, if the eventual outcome is to form a new .IPA, portions of a full technical study, including analysis of electrical load data specific to Contra Costa County, would need to be subsequently completed. This alternative has been identified by staff following the February 29,2016 IOC meeting, and was not discussed at the IOC meeting.

H.2.b
Packet Pg. 413 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Public Involvement
If the Board directs staff to proceed with one of the three CCE options described in this report, staff recommends that the County's activities include a public involvement component. The recommended public involvement activites for each of the three options are as follows:

Option 1: Full Technical Study
• Public workshops to obtain public input
• Focused outreach to key stakeholder groups
• Web-based educational materials
• Presentations at Mayors Conference, city councils and other venues Option 2: Join MCE
• Coordinate with cities in Contra Costa County to provide information concerning MCE
Option 3: Abbreviated Technical Study
• Public workshop prior to consultant preparing study, and a second public workshop to review a draft of the study
• Additional public involvement actions could be considered upon completion of the abbreviated study
Staff is aware that some members of the public have expressed an interest in creating an Advisory Committee to advise the Board and city councils on this topic. Staff is not recommending the creation of an Advisory Committee due to the added cost and time this would involve, and because staff believes the steps described above will allow for effective public input concerning the development of a CCE program without the significant effort involved in recruiting for and selecting members. However, if a more structured involvement program is desired, staff could suggest approches for forming and structuring such a committee process.

Project Schedule and Budget
If the Board directs staff to proceed with a technical study ofCCE (either a full study or an abbreviated one), this would represent the first phase of activity related to potential implementation of CCE within Contra Costa County. Following a technical study, additional steps would be required to launch a CCE program, should the Board decide to proceed with implementation.

An estimated schedule and budget for fully implementing CCE within the County is attached to this report (Attachment E). The time and expense associated with implementing CCE within the County would depend heavily on the outcome of the technical study and the resulting direction selected by the Board and participating cities.

H.2.b
Packet Pg. 414 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a The CCE option likely to require the greatest commitment of time and resources would be the option to form a new JPA comprised of the County and cities within Contra Costa County. Following the technical study, such an option would involve two additional phases of activity: JPA Formation and Program Launch. The activities associated with these additional project phases and the estimated time and expense to complete these activities are described in greater detail in Attachment D. Staff estimates the total time needed to implement the Contra Costa JPA option and begin providing electricity to customers would be in the range of two to three years and would cost approximately $2 million. These costs would likely be recovered if a new JPA becomes operational.

If the Board directs staffto proceeds with steps necessary to join MCE, either immediately or following a technical study, the cost and time associated with joining MCE are expected to be substantially less than creating a new JPA. The organizational start-up activities and costs associated with creating a new public agency would not be required.

However, a financial tradeoff associated with joining MCE is that jurisdictions in Contra Costa County would not have exclusive control over the revenues generated from a CCE program. If the County and several more cities in Contra Costa County decide the join MCE, Contra Costa jurisdictions would represent the majority of the population served by MCE. Therefore, Contra Costa jurisdictions would have a strong collective voice within MCE. Nevertheless, the majority of seats on the MCE Board of Directors would continue to be held be jurisdictions in Marin, Napa and Solano Counties.

Extrapolating from the experience of the existing CCE programs, CCE revenues generated from the sale of electricity within jurisdictions in Contra Costa County not currently in MCE would likely be in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Most of these revenues would be used to pay for energy procurement, with smaller portions used to pay for administrative costs, reserves, and local economic development and energy efficiency programs
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Ifno action is taken, the County will not proceed with implementation of a Community Choice Energy program.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING

TECHNICAL STUDY OF ELECTRICAL LOAD DATA FOR

COMMUNITY CHOICE ENERGY
This Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Technical Study of Electrical Load Data for Community Choice Energy ("MOU") is entered as of April _, 2016 ("EfIective Date"), by and among Contra Costa County, a political subdivision of the State of California ("County"), the Cities of Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Martinez, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon, and the Towns of Danville and Moraga (collectively the "Cities" and each a "City"). The County and the Cities are referred to herein together as the "Parties," and each is sometimes referred to herein as a "Party."
Recitals
A. The Parties desire to cooperate to study options for participating in Community Choice Energy ("CCE"), pursuant California Public Utilities Code sections 331. 366, and 366.2, and other applicable laws and regulations.

B. To study options for participating in CCE, the Parties will need to obtain, from Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), electrical load data for all of the Parties' jurisdictions, and for the jurisdictions of the cities of Antioch, Hercules, and Oakley ("Partners''). The electrical load data for the Parties' jurisdictions and the Partners' jurisdictions is collectively referred to herein as the "Load Data." The Load Data is confidential and not subject to public disclosure pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 8380. Each City and Partner has authorized PG&E to release to the County the Load Data for electricity use within that City's or Partner's jurisdiction. PG&E will require the County to enter into a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA") before PG&E will release the Load Data to the County.

C. The Load Data must be analyzed to determine the electricity needs within the Parties' and Partners' jurisdictions, and to evaluate options for participating in CCE. The analysis of the Load Data will require the services of a technical consultant.

D. The Parties enter into this MOU to identify their roles and responsibilities with respect to studying options for participating in CCE. Although the Partners are not parties to this MOU, their Load Data will be analyzed and they will be advised of the final results of that analysis.

Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. County's Responsibilities.

A. Load Data. The County will enter into a NDA with PG&E and will obtain the Load Data from PG&E. The County will maintain and dispose of the Load Data Attachment D
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 418 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a m accordance with the prOVISIOns of the NDA and all applicable laws and regulations.

B. Selection of a Technical Consultant.

1. After the County obtains the Load Date from PG&E, the County will prepare and publish a request for proposals ("RFP") to solicit proposals from qualified technical consultants for the analysis of the Load Data and for the preparation of a technical report. The County will solicit, from the Cities, comments on the RFP before the County publishes the RFP.

2. The County will evaluate responses to the RFP, and will be responsible for either (i) selecting the technical consultant that, in the County's opinion, is most qualified to analyze the Load Data, or (ii) determining, in the County's sole discretion, that there is not a qualified technical consultant based on the County's review of the proposals it receives in response to the RFP.

3. If the County selects a technical consultant (the "Consultant") to analyze the Load Data, the County will negotiate and, if negotiations are successful and any required Board of Supervisors approval is obtained, enter into a contract with the Consultant, to require the Consultant to do all of the following: (a) analyze the Load Data to determine the electricity needs within the Parties' jurisdictions, (b) evaluate the Parties' options for participating in CCE, (c) prepare a draft technical report documenting the Consultant's analysis and findings ("Draft Report"), and (d) prepare a final technical report documenting the Consultant's analysis and findings ("Final Report"), all of which are collectively referred to herein as the "Consultant Sen ices. ,.

C. Technical Report.

1. After the Consultant prepares the Draft Report, the County will provide each City a copy of that report. The County will provide each City 30 days to comment on the Draft Report, as described in Section 2.A., below, before the County directs the Consultant to prepare the Final Report. The County will review and discuss with the Consultant all comments the County receives from the Cities within that 30-day period. The County will cooperate with the Cities to resolve any conflicting or inconsistent comments.

2. Within 10 days after the Consultant provides the County the Final Report, the County will provide each City a copy of the Final Report so that the Parties may present the Final Report to their governing bodies in a timely manner. Within 60 days after the Consultant provides the County the Final Report, the County will provide each City: (a) documentation 2 H.2.b

II PROJECT OVERVIEW

1. Statement of Purpose
Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development (County) seeks a consultant - an individual, a firm, and/or group of individuals, and/or firms, to assess the potential of developing a Community Choice Aggregation Program in Contra Costa County.

Community Choice Aggregation (hereafter referred to as Community Choice Energy or CCE) allows local jurisdictions - county and city governments - to provide electricity generation service to customers currently served by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Marin Clean Energy (MCE), the State's first CCE program, started operating in 2010, followed by Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) in 2014 and Lancaster Choice Energy (LCE) in 2015. CleanPower SF launches in May 2016, and Peninsula Clean Energy will launch in October, 2016. Many other communities across the State are currently exploring this energy model, including every county in the Bay Area. All of these programs were preceded by a study that assessed the overall technical, environmental and economic feasibility of launching a CCEprogram.

2. Background
Under a Community Choice Energy program, the CCE entity would become the default electricity provider to all electricity customers within the service area. Customers would have the ability to opt out of service from the CCEand return to bundled service from the incumbent utility, in this case Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).

On October 13, 2015, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (Board) accepted the recommendations of its Internal Operations Committee (IOC) and directed County staff to initiate outreach to cities within Contra Costa County to determine the level of interest cities had in joining with the County to investigate three alternatives for potentially implementing Community Choice Energy in Contra Costa County. These three alternatives are:

1. Form a new Joint Powers Authority (JPA)of the County and interested cities within Contra Costa County for the purpose of CCE;

2. Form a new JPA in partnership with Alameda County, and interested cities in both counties; and

3. Join Marin Clean Energy (MCE)
At its meeting on February 29, 2016, the IOC directed the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to prepare a report to the full Board presenting two options for proceeding with potential implementation of CCE in the County's jurisdiction: continue working with cities to complete a technical study of the three CCEalternatives mentioned above, or proceed with steps to join the CCEprogram known as Marin Clean Energy, or MCE.

The Board unanimously decided at its meeting on March 15 to conduct a full technical study, similar to what has happened in other counties, and to assess the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three options.

VI SCOPE OF SERVICE
The Community Choice Energy technical study will - like similar studies in other jurisdictions - assess the overall size and potential of the program in Contra Costa (keeping in mind that at least five cities in the County are either current members of MCE or are applying to become members). The study will examine the potential to be rate competitive with PG&E, assess the potential for GHG reduction, and examine the possible economic development benefits of Community Choice Energy for the County, through the construction of renewable energy projects in and around Contra Costa. As directed by the Board of Supervisors, the County is also interested in an examination not just of starting a new CCE program (either limited to jurisdictions within Contra Costa County or in partnership with jurisdictions in Alameda County) but also of joining MCE. At the highest level, the CCEstudy should examine the potential to meet the following goals:
• Overall rates that are equal to or less than PG&E for the default product. • Voluntary products that increase the renewable and GHG-free content (e.g. 100% renewable, 100% local energy option) to which people can "opt-up".
• An electric supply portfolio with a lower greenhouse gas intensity than PG&E and an energy portfolio which includes as much local renewable development as is economically feasible.
• The County seeks a financially sustainable and flexible business model that supports investment in and the local development of distributed energy resources, as well as local programs such as energy efficiency, electric vehicle charging, energy storage and microgrid development. • Implementation of energy projects that have tangible and quantifiable economic benefits to the region, including brownfield redevelopment and local jobs creation.

Task 1. Review the County's aggregated load data provided by PG&E. The County has received authorization from all cities not currently in or seeking membership to MCE to collect PG&E load data on their behalf. The technical consultant will review, format, and import data into an analytical framework and prepare summary level data for residential, commercial, industrial and municipal accounts. The data to be analyzed in the study will be from the following jurisdictions:

1. Unincorporated Contra Costa County

2. Antioch

3. Brentwood

4. Clayton

5. Concord

6. Danville

7. Hercules

8. Martinez

9. Moraga

10. Oakley

11. Orinda

12. Pinole

13. Pittsburg

14. Pleasant Hill

15. San Ramon

Packet Pg. 435 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Task 2: Technical Analysis, Supply Scenarios and Financial Pro-Forma. For the main part of the study, the Consultant will do the following:

A. Prepare utility load forecast that reviews historical usage and projects future power demand requirements across all customer classes, taking into account growth in renewables (eg: rooftop solar) and other appropriate factors, such as compensation for line losses. The Consultant will create a load profile for specific rate class customer sector populations, which can provide a composite CCEelectrical load and load shape for all 15 jurisdictions. Key facilities that may be direct access customers should be excluded from the study as they would not automatically be enrolled in a CCEprogram. (However, the list of large-scale DA customers should be provided to the County because it may, at some point in the future, want to reach out to large industrial users, such as the oil refineries, for potential participation in CCE-related activities.) The result of this assessment will estimate the number of megawatt hours (MWH) that will be required each year for the first ten years of the program (including renewable energy to comply with the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS),along with peak megawatt (MW) demand requirements that meet current resource adequacy requirements (RAR).

B. Prepare PG&E rate analysis with forecasts of future PG&E rate increases, based on historical prices and factors that may affect the rate of increase into the future (local generation construction, spot market pricing, renewable energy mandates and declining cost of renewables, etc.). Other factors may also include ancillary services, transmission congestion impacts, transmission scheduling coordination costs and other factors. This analysis should be presented in a scenario analysis, with high, medium and low estimates of future PG&E pricing for all rate classes. Other considerations to be included in this section are:

1. Identification of other factors that may affect rate comparison (examples include combinations of the following: high gas, low gas, high hydro, low hydro, etc., and rate restructuring);

2. Investor Owned Utility (IOU) costs and surcharges embedded in rate forecast for direct comparison to CCEcosts;

3. Utility rate forecast under continued IOU service scenario;

4. Based on IOU rate forecasts and other independent rate forecasts, compile electric generation service cost/ payment estimates for prospective CCEcustomers in consideration of applicable IOU rate schedules.

C. Supply Scenario for Contra Costa County CCE: The consultant will develop a range of scenarios for the energy procurement requirements of the CCE. Each scenario will examine the likely rates and competitiveness with PG&E, given current energy market conditions. Each scenario will also estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts compared to PG&E. The consultant should consider variations in how both the renewable and nonH.2.b Packet Pg. 436 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a renewable portions of the power mix can be obtained (e.g., in-state, in-county, out-ofstate, renewable energy credits, technology preferences), and non-renewable portfolio attributes (e.g., system purchases, natural gas, hydro-electric). The precise scenarios should focus on Category 1 and 2 renewable resources (excluding unbundled renewable energy credits) will be determined in consultation with County staff but could include the following:
• Option I/Baseline: RPSCompliance, along with the same or similar greenhouse gas profile as PG&E. The first scenario should assume compliance with the 2020 RPSminimum of 33% and the 2030 minimum of 50%. This scenario should also seek to match the current (and forecasted) percentage of carbon-free electricity supply from PG&E. This scenario can therefore be considered the baseline and would assess the potential cost differential between a CCEprogram and PG&E, assuming a similar level of environmental performance.
• Option 2: Starting with 50% renewable content on the first day or service and moving towards 80% by Year 10 (these metrics can be adjusted based on consultations with County staff). Note: both scenarios should incorporate a voluntary, 100% renewable option with an assumption that a similar number of customers will select this option as did MCE and SCPoIn addition, both scenarios should examine, to the extent possible, the availability of renewable energy that could be procured from within the State of California from facilities that use unionized labor.
• Options 3 and 4: Same as Options 1 and 2, but with a substantial portion of that content coming from local renewable resources in and around Contra Costa County. The consultant should analyze Options 1 and 2 but assume that an aggressive local build out program would be developed with the aim of having up to 25% of the total renewable supplies of the program met through local renewable resources by Year 10 of the program. For the purposes of this RFP,the term "local" refers to projects in Contra Costa and adjacent counties.

D. Sensitivity Analysis: The consultant should also include a sensitivity analyses for each supply scenario showing the projected impact to program costs and customer rates for variations in the following input cost variables:
• Market prices for conventional (non-renewable) energy • Market prices for renewable energy based on preferred technologies, if identified
• Changes in PG&E generation rates and customer surcharges • Changes in policies affecting local renewables development, including the possible reduction or elimination of the federal solar tax credit and H.2.b
Packet Pg. 437 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a production tax credit for wind power.
• Customer opt-out rates
E. Pro-Forma Analysis: The consultant should assess the overall cost-benefit potential to support a threshold decision to move forward with CCE.Costs shall include upfront program development and implementation costs as well as net ratepayer costs over the forecast period. Quantifiable benefits shall include annual and net savings over PG&E, net GHG reductions, expanded use of renewable energy resources and local economic development (job years created and indirect economic impacts).

1. Pro forma report, including cash flow analysis, detailing costs and projected benefits under four electric supply scenarios.

2. Pro forma reports detailing costs and projected benefits under sensitivity case assumptions.

3. Pro forma reports detailing costs and projected benefits of phasing in customer load over time

4. Pro Forma development in consideration of one of the abovelisted supply scenarios, and the decision as to which scenario to use will be made in conjunction with County staff. Assemble known and predictable cost-of-service variables and incorporate these into base-case analyses. Predictable cost-of-service variables include:
a. Energy Costs- Variable inputs for resource portfolio mixes to include:
i. Forecast spot market prices
ii. Long-term and short-term power contracts (for
wholesale products such as 6X16, 7X24 power products)
iii. Renewable Energy minimums as required under SBXl-2, or in excess of this minimum per electric supply
scenarios

h. PG&E surcharges, Cost-Recovery Mechanism [exit fees] i. Characterize and evaluate feed in tariff and net energy metering programs that would encourage development of renewable
energy generation projects in the region by offering customers a sustained reliable payback on their investment in renewable energy and sustainable local generation system
Task 3: Economic Development Analysis and Local Project Assessment. As stated earlier, the County believes that local economic development potential will be a key interest for municipal decision makers. To this end, the Consultant will undertake the following tasks. • Overall Job Impacts: For each of the supply scenarios, the consultant should examine not just costs and GHG impacts but also conduct an economic analysis of the direct and indirect employment creation through existing economic development models such as JEDIor other industry- standard models to quantify potential economic impacts of various supply scenarios. The job analysis should also address job-quality metrics, such as prevailing wages and other relevant labor standards, particularly for the supply scenarios described above that involve a large component of locally-developed projects. • Initial Project Identification and Northern Waterfront Development Strategy: The Consultant should provide an overall estimate of the technical potential for wind, solar, biomass and other renewable resources that have significant potential in Contra Costa County. The Consultant can initially refer to existing studies, such as the Bay Area Smart Energy 2020 report! and the EPA"Repowering America" database that respectively assess the technical renewable potential in the built environment and on brown-field sites. In addition, the Consultant should look at renewable potential in other areas of the County, particularly at the Northern Waterfront. The Consultant should include on their team the capacity of using tools like Google Earth to quantify the technical potential of solar resources in rural, undeveloped parts of the County, as well as large commercial and industrial zones. It is understood that this task is only looking at the 1 http: pacilicenvironment.org,downioadsiBASE2020 _Full_ Report.pdf Jl~ (,_,-,[: :ec:r (:2
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 439 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a technical potential, and the Consultant is not expected to interact with landowners or take any other action to assess the financial feasibility of these projects. The goal is to show policy makers and the broader community what the potential is to develop renewables in the County. However, it should be stressed that when many other factors are taken into account (landowner interest, project financing, interconnection ability, etc.), only a small portion of the overall technical potential may actually be implemented.

With regards to the Northern Waterfront initiative, the Consultant should explore ways in which a CCEprogram could dovetail with the County's desire to redevelop this region through the integration of energy resources. The Consultant should interview public and private officials involved in the Initiative efforts and outline potential economic development ideas related to clean energy, such as solar and wind siting and engaging with large industries to implement CCE-related energy efficiency, combined heat and power, energy storage and other programs. The Consultant is encouraged to think creatively about potential ideas, using best practice case studies from around the country. The Consultant should also consider the fact that this part of the County already has a large number of fossil fuel generators and associated, grid-related infrastructure - and how this infrastructure could be helpful (eg: convenient grid interconnections) in encouraging alternative energy projects in this area.

Task 4: Comparative Analysis of Other CCEOptions: Joining Marin Clean Energy or Alameda County CCEProgram
The County would also like to assess the advantages and disadvantages of two other options besides a stand-alone Contra Costa CCEprogram: (a) having the County and as many cities as are interested join MCE Clean Energy; or (b) having the County and interested cities partner with Alameda County's CCEprogram - East Bay Community Energy - currently in formation.

The Consultant, using the key results from Task 2 as a basis for comparison, would look at similar criteria when evaluating the other two options, including rate-competitiveness, GHG reduction potential and local economic development. The Consultant should assess other, more subjective criteria, such as local governance and overall programmatic flexibility. The exact comparison criteria will be discussed with County staff prior to this portion of the technical study commencing. The Consultant will meet with officials from Alameda County and MCE as necessary.

The main deliverable for this section of the report will be a comparison table for each of the 3 CCEprogram alternatives under consideration and brief narrative explaining the rationale for any conclusions. The criteria the County would like to see used as the basis of comparison between CCEprogram alternatives include:
• Low and Stable Electricity Rates
• Reduction in GHG emissions
• Local Control and Governance
H.2.b
Packet Pg. 440 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a • Local Economic Development Benefits

Key comparative issues to be discussed in the study should include, but not be limited to:
• Given what is known about MCE rates (and forecasted into the future), and given market conditions for wholesale electricity into which an Alameda County or Contra Costa CCEwould be entering, are the generation rates likely to be lower for one option than another? The consultant should look at current and projected rates. • Given the Contra Costa CCEsupply scenarios and MCE's future goals for renewable energy mix in their portfolio, is there one option that might provide better environmental (lower GHG emission) performance than another? • In terms of governance and the ability to tailor CCE-related programs to Contra Costa County, what advantages/disadvantages might there be for joining MCE, which has a regional footprint that already includes many CCCocities and a growing Board. What advantages/disadvantages might there be for joining Alameda? Alameda currently has a large Steering Committee, which may result in a large board of directors. • Similarly, assess the ability for a stand-alone CCEprogram to generate surplus revenues and the benefits and trade-off's of keeping the revenues local vs. the ability to leverage economies of scale within a more regional approach.

H.2.b
Packet Pg. 441 Attachment: Prior Orinda Staff Reports w minutes excerpts (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a • The Consultant should assess the costs and timing of starting a new CCEprogram compared to the costs/timing of joining MCE or Alameda. • The analysis should highlight any greater risks and benefits associated with starting a new JPA as compared to becoming a member of an existing one. It should acknowledge the potential reality of having different cities and customers within a single county served by more than one CCEprogram, and what those impacts and issues might be.

Draft CCEMOU for 4.21.16.docx; Draft Tech Study RFPfor 4.21.16.docx From: Jason Crapo [mailto:[email protected]]
Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2016 11:47 AM
To: Janet Keeter <[email protected]>
Subject: Community Choice Energy
Hi Janet,
The County is hosting a meeting for City staff this Thursday morning on the topic of Community Choice Energy. Tonya informed me that she will not be able to attend and that Daisy will be representing Orinda at the meeting. Thank you for dedicating staff time to this topic.

On March IS, the BOSdirected County staff to work with interested cities within the County to conduct a technical study of this issue. The study will provide an analysis that will assist all jurisdictions in the County to decide how to proceed on this topic.

One of the main purposes of the meeting this Thursday is to clarify which cities will be participating in the study. We need to determine participation so we can move forward with completing the study. Participation involves making a proportionate financial contribution towards the cost of the study. Of the 19 cities in the County, 14 are eligible to participate in this study (the other 5 cities are either members or seeking membership in the Marin County program known as MCE). Seven cities have so far indicated they will participate. Three cities have indicated they will not participate. Orinda is one of four cities that have not yet indicated if they will participate.

Attached is a draft MOU that describes the roles and responsibilities of the County and the cities in this endeavor. In this draft, I have categorized Orinda and the other undecided cities as participants in the study. Of course, this is pending final decisions by these cities. This document will be discussed at the meeting that Daisy will be attending on Thursday. My goal is to finalize the MOU soon after the meeting this Thursday. I realize that the undecided cities may need to take this to their Councils.

You will see that I am suggesting that Orinda allocate up to $10,000 for this purpose. I expect the actual amount required from Orinda to be less than $5,000, but we will not know the actual contribution required until we know a) the actual cost of the study (estimated to be approximately $150,000) and b) which jurisdictions are participating. I am recommending cities allocate a not-to-exceed amount until the actual costs are known.

I am also attaching a draft of the RFPto select the consultant that will perform the study. This will also be discussed at the meeting this Thursday.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can provide you with any additional information to help the City decide if it will participate in the technical study. Thank you.

Jason

Generation Rate is the cost of creating electricity to power your home or business. The generation rate varies based on your energy provider and the resources included in your energy provider’s generation supply.

PG&E Delivery Rate is a charge assessed by PG&E to deliver electricity to your home or business. The PG&E delivery rate depends on your electricity usage but is charged equally to both EBCE and PG&E customers.

PG&E PCIA/FF represents the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and the Franchise Fee surcharge (FF). The PCIA is a charge to recover PG&E’s costs for generation resources that are currently above the market rate. These resources were committed to prior to a customer’s switch to a third-party electric generation provider. PG&E acts as a collection agent for the Franchise Fee surcharge, which is levied by the California Public Utilities Commission on behalf of cities and counties in PG&E’s service territory for all customers. The costs for resources included in the PCIA and FF surcharges are included in the generation rate for PG&E bundled service customers
Where Do I Find My Electric Rate Schedule?
Need some help finding your electric rate? Go to the “Electric Delivery Charges” section of your energy statement - you’ll find your electric rate in the upper left. Your rate and service option with EBCE are also listed in the “Electric Generation Charges” section.

Look here to identify your electric rate
schedule. Once you have that, you can
find your rate comparison below.

Generation Rate is the cost of creating electricity to power your home or business. The generation rate varies based on your energy provider and the resources included in your energy provider’s generation supply.

PG&E Delivery Rate is a charge assessed by PG&E to deliver electricity to your home or business. The PG&E delivery rate depends on your electricity usage, but is charged equally to both PCE and PG&E customers.

PG&E PCIA/FF represents the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and the Franchise Fee surcharge (FF). The PCIA is a charge to recover PG&E’s costs for generation resources that are currently above the market rate. These resources were committed to prior to a customer’s switch to a third-party electric generation provider. PG&E acts as a collection agent for the Franchise Fee surcharge. This fee is imposed by cities and counties in PG&E’s service territory for all customers. The costs for resources included in the PCIA and FF surcharges are included in the generation rate for PG&E bundled service customers.

Where Do I Find My Electric Rate Schedule?
Need some help finding your electric rate? Go to the “Electric Delivery Charges” section of your energy statement - you’ll find your electric rate in the upper left.

Look here to identify your electric
rate schedule. Once you have
that, you can find your rate
comparison below.

Once a City Council votes to join MCE, what happens next? Is that all that has to happen?
In order for a new community to join MCE, the jurisdiction’s governing body (i.e. Board of Supervisors, City Council or Town Council) must vote in the majority to join MCE, which includes a passing of a Resolution, Memorandum of Understanding and Ordinance. Once a city council votes to join, MCE conducts a feasibility study to determine if the new jurisdiction will be able to join. MCE Board of Directors votes on the inclusion of new communities in a public meeting after presentation of the feasibility study. New communities are eligible to receive MCE service ~ 1 year after MCE’s implementation plan is certified by the PUC. The process from vote to join to customer enrollment typically takes 24 - 30 months or more.
o A City Council votes to join MCE
o MCE completes feasibility study on the energy use represented by that city/community
o MCE submits an updated Implementation Plan to the California Public Utilities Commission by the end of that calendar year (for example, 2019). o Commission approves and certifies the Implementation Plan in the beginning of the next year (for example, February of 2020) o New Community outreach and education process – begins 6 months prior to enrollment and extends several months after enrollment. o New community may begin MCE services as early as January of the following year (in this example, January of 2021). Note: MCE typically begins new enrollments in the Spring.

Packet Pg. 504 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 3 Why have some communities around MCE territory decided to join a different CCAs? After MCE first launched, many other communities around the state began to explore their own options for creating a CCA and having energy choice. California CCAs work collaboratively to share best practices and do not overlap in service area. Adding additional cities to a CCA’s territory depends upon feasibility studies of potential new load and long-term procurement planning. Cities, towns and counties are encouraged to determine which energy choices are right for them. They make request membership in a CCA of their choice, choose to pursue their own CCA or municipal utility, or choose to remain entirely with PG&E service.

Why does community outreach and education happen after communities decide to join MCE?
MCE is a nimble organization run by a lean team of experienced energy professionals.

Once a community decides to join MCE, an extensive community outreach plan is codeveloped with our community partners to efficiently and cost effectively educate customers over a period of many months with the goal of helping customers decide if they would like to remain with MCE service or opt out to return to PG&E.

How do customers learn about MCE as their new electric service provider? As part of the new community outreach process, MCE drafts a community outreach plan to reach as many customers as possible. This includes a strategy to engage Chambers of Commerce, businesses, libraries, and local community organizations such as sustainability groups, rotaries, farm bureaus, economic development corporations and others. MCE sends 4 mailers to customers, 2 before and 2 after the enrollment period to help notify residents at each stage of the enrollment. MCE also conducts local advertising including both newspapers and digital. MCE’s outreach spans up to 8 months with customer enrollment occurring roughly in the center of that time period, with an intensive noticing process during a 120-day period – 60 days prior and 60 days after start of service. Customers can opt out of MCE service at any time – our goal is to make customers aware of their new energy choices and service options.

If a homeowner sells their home, what happens to their MCE account? When a homeowner sells, their MCE and PG&E accounts are closed. The new owner will open a new account by calling PG&E and will be automatically enrolled in MCE’s electric generation service. New customers will receive 2 mailers informing them of MCE’s role in their electric services. The new homeowner can choose to opt-out of MCE service. Regardless of whether a customer chooses to remain with MCE or PG&E electric service, PG&E will continue to be the transmission/distribution provider and billing agent for all MCE accounts.

Packet Pg. 505 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 4 What is the average opt-out rate among MCE cities and counties? To date, our average participation rate is 86%.

Why is this opt-out rather than opt in? Why is there an opt out fee? CCAs enabling legislation – State Assembly Bill 117, is an opt-out model. Customers must affirmatively choose to leave MCE service in order to remain with PG&E. It is easy for customers to opt-out online at mceCleanEnergy.org/optout or by calling 1-888-632- 3674. There is no cost to opt out during the120 noticing period--60 days before the start of service and 60 days afterwards. After that, MCE charges a one-time administrative fee ($5 fee for resident and $25 fee for businesses) to cover the administrative cost of returning customers to PG&E service.

What happens to customers who participate in discount programs such as CARE, FERA or Medical Baseline?
Discounts including CARE, FERA, Medical Baseline Allowance and PG&E employee discounts remain in place. Customers do not need to reapply as part of the MCE enrollment, their status in those programs will not change when they enroll with MCE.

What is the new rate, what is the exit fee – what are the guarantees? MCE rates mirror PG&E’s as closely as possible to minimize customer confusion. MCE generation rates are cost competitive with PG&E’s and can be viewed on our webpage at mceCleanEnergy.org/rates. For information on exit fees and opt out fees please see the questions above. All of MCE’s cost comparisons include the PG&E exit fee.

There are no guarantees that MCE rates will be less expensive than PG&E’s rates. MCE rates are set by our Board of Directors, who are local elected officials from our member communities. These meetings are open to the public so that questions and concerns about rates can be raised and addressed in a public forum similarly to a city council meeting.

As a public agency, MCE is completely transparent with our customers and stakeholders, providing information about our public meetings, audited financials, and regulatory documents on our website. Customers can also request additional information about MCE at any time through MCE’s customer care team or through a public records act request.

What happens if a City decides to leave MCE and the JPA? In our state’s opt-out model, a city can decide to opt out one, several or all of their municipal accounts at any time. Likewise, any resident or business can choose to opt out of MCE service at any time. If, alternatively, a city council voted to leave the JPA, $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI

Packet Pg. 506 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 5 the city residents and businesses who wanted to continue to have 60% to 100% renewable power purchased on their behave, would no longer be eligible to remain MCE customers. As part of a new community joining MCE, power will be purchased on behalf of new customers. If a jurisdiction were interested in withdrawing from the JPA in its entirety, the jurisdiction would be responsible for reimbursing MCE for the long-term energy contracts purchase on behalf of the jurisdiction. To date, no community has left MCE’s JPA nor has any community in California voted to leave. There are over 190 municipalities that have joined 19 CCAs throughout CA.

What happens if MCE fails? Are cities expected to cover the cost of any financial failure?
MCE is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and has a legal and financial “firewall” between the JPA and the member communities. If MCE were to fail for financial or other reasons, customers would be returned to PG&E electric generation service and member communities would not be held liable for any legal or financial repercussions.

How does MCE work with Unions?
MCE works with unions to support employment opportunities in MCE’s service area.

MCE’s Sustainable Workforce policy includes local hire requirements, support for unions and prevailing wage requirements. You can read the full policy online at mceCleanEnergy.org/wp-content/uploads/Policy-011-MCE-Sustainable-WorkforcePolicy-v3.pdf.

How does MCE work with solar customers?
MCE offers a generous Net Energy Metering (NEM) program for customers who are currently enrolled with PG&E’s NEM program. When NEM customers are transferred to MCE service they will be automatically enrolled in our NEM program which compensates customers at retail rates for their excess solar generation, plus an additional $0.01 per kilowatt hour. For customers with more than $100 in credit at the end of MCE’s fiscal year in April, they will be eligible to receive a check in the mail for $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI

Packet Pg. 507 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 6 their excess credits. Credits are capped at $5,000 per customer.

MCE does not have an annual true-up process and instead customers will receive monthly charges or credits from MCE.

Governance
How does MCE’s governance structure work with state regulatory bodies such as the California Public Utilities Commissions (CPUC)?
MCE is governed both by our Board of Directors, comprised of local elected officials from member communities, and the CPUC. MCE is subject to most of the same state requirements as the investor owned utilities such as some contracting requirements and all renewable energy requirements. MCE’s Board has the discretion to set MCE’s rates and to determine our power purchasing strategy for exceeding state requirements for local, renewable, and greenhouse gas free content. MCE reports to the CPUC and the California Energy Commission (CEC) to ensure regulatory compliance. MCE’s energy efficiency programs are administered under the auspices of the CPUC.

What are the mandates from the state that are pushing this forward? In 2002, State legislation enabled Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs to purchase energy on behalf of customers interested in less carbon intensive electricity options. MCE helps member communities reduce their electricity-related greenhouse gas emissions and exceeds state renewable mandates by offering more renewable and cleaner energy options than PG&E.

How are decisions made by MCE’s Board of Directors? Will my community have a voice?
MCE’s Board of Directors makes decisions in transparent public forums similarly to local city council meetings. Members of the public are welcome to attend these meetings to voice their opinions directly. MCE Board Representatives take time to discuss decisions and hear the concerns of members before making decisions. MCE’s Board operates generally under a one-community-one-vote policy and has never called a weighted vote based on the electric load of each member community.

Rates
Are MCE rates lower than PG&E rates? What does MCE offer besides lower rates? At this time customers are saving about 0.5% on their bill as compared to PG&E. MCE is a not-for-profit, public agency with many community benefits. Over the past 10 years, MCE has saved customers over $50 million in electric costs, reinvested in member communities to support 10 local, in-service area renewable energy projects (31MW), provided generous Net Energy Metering incentives for solar customers, and, supported $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI
3DFNHW3DJHRI
H.2.c
Packet Pg. 508 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 7 the installation of over 500 electric vehicle charging stations and numerous workforce development opportunities. Full MCE rates information can be found online at mceCleanEnergy.org/rates.

How are MCE rates determined?
MCE’s Board has the discretion to set MCE’s rates and to determine our power purchasing strategy for exceeding state requirements for local, renewable, and greenhouse gas free content. MCE’s rates are set by our Board of Directors in public meetings over the course of several months. This process starts with MCE’s Ad Hoc rate setting committee in a closed session and then reviewed several times by our Technical and Executive Committees in public meetings before being discussed and approved by the full Board of Directors in a public forum.

How does MCE use my ratepayer funds? Do I have a say in how my money is used? MCE is a not-for-profit public agency. Approximately 90% of MCE’s revenue is allocated to purchase clean electricity on behalf of our customers. We operate similarly to nonprofits with approximately 4% of our revenue contributing to fixed costs such as staff, office locations, and other agency support. The remaining 6% of MCE’s revenue goes towards local programs that benefit the community including local economic and workforce development opportunities through our energy efficiency and Feed-in Tariff programs, low-income solar and electric vehicle rebates, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, a generous Net Energy Metering cash out policy, and a cost-competitive 100% renewable service option.

MCE customers are able to voice their opinions on MCE programs and policies at public meetings with our Board of Directors. MCE has regular meetings for our Technical and Executive Committee meetings and quarterly Board of Director meetings. Customers can see materials from MCE Board meetings, live stream quarterly meetings and sign up to receive updates online at mceCleanEnergy.org/meeting-archive. MCE is a public agency and as such is fully transparent in our decision-making processes. We encourage customers and interested parties to attend MCE Board and Committee meetings to learn more about MCE and weigh in on our policy decisions.

How does the MCE Board reconcile votes that are not unanimous (i.e. for rate-making)? MCE is governed by our Board of Directors, comprised of local elected officials from member communities. Each Board members represents their city constituents and the best possible outcomes for their respective communities. The MCE Board of local elected peers works diligently to uphold inclusive discussions and decision-making.

Board votes are weighted based on a two-tiered system. Every Board member is first assigned an equal voting share based on the number of Directors on the Board. Then, each jurisdiction is assigned a weighted vote based on their share of MCE’s electric $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI
3DFNHW3DJHRI
H.2.c
Packet Pg. 509 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 8 load. These two percentages are combined to determine how a vote should be weighted in the event of a disagreement. To date, MCE’s Board of Directors has never called a weighted vote.

Customers of MCE and PG&E will see bills increase in 2019, what will MCE be doing to help bring down energy costs for consumers?
MCE’s ability to maintain competitive rates and fulfill its mission to reduce greenhouse gasses and invest in local community energy projects and programs is supported by our rate stabilization and reserve fund, investment grade credit rating, and our ability to obtain competitively priced energy supply. Over the past 10 years, MCE has provided stable and competitive rates. Our rate setting process is designed to provide competitive rates well into the future, exceed our environmental goals, and invest in local energy programs and projects.

Energy Purchasing
Does MCE own and operate their own generation plants?
MCE does not own generation facilities at this time. MCE’s Feed in Tariff (FIT) program supports the development of new renewable energy projects in our service area by agreeing to purchase the energy produced from each project over the course of a 20- year standard offer contract. MCE will enter into a contract with developers, should a project be approved by local jurisdiction building and zoning requirements. MCE often has purchase options in these contracts, allowing MCE the opportunity to purchase generation resources at various times throughout the contract length.

How do you respond to claims from critics that MCE isn’t actually purchasing renewable energy?
MCE follows state guidelines for renewable energy and greenhouse gas reporting standards. MCE publishes a power source disclosure with the California Energy Commission every year, who verifies MCE’s purchase history with the state electric grid operator. We are subject to the same reporting requirements as all other utilities and our power content label is available both on MCE’s website (mceCleanEnergy.org/energysources) and the California Energy Commission website (ww2.energy.ca.gov/pcl/labels/2017_index.html).

What are Renewable Energy Certificates and how do I know MCE is procuring renewable energy on my behalf?
A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is produced every time 1 megawatt of renewable energy is generated.
$WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI
3DFNHW3DJHRI
H.2.c
Packet Pg. 510 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 9 These certificates help electric grid operators monitor purchases from electric service providers like MCE to ensure we’re purchasing renewable energy in accordance with State guidelines.

RECs are classified into three types: Bucket 1, Bucket 2, and Bucket 3 (also referred to as unbundled RECs). Bucket 3/Unbundled RECs occur when the energy that generated the certificate is sold independently of the certificate itself. In this case, the energy is now sold as brown power, and the purchaser of the REC can count a certain portion of their power supply as renewable, in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

In 2018, MCE’s energy portfolio contained less than 1% Bucket 3/Unbundled RECs and starting in 2019, MCE has set a target of 0% unbundled RECs moving forward.

PG&E’s Role
Will joining MCE initiate a change or our Smart Meters or other meters? No, MCE is the procurer of renewable energy. Your meters will continue to be PG&E meters; they are not owned or maintained by MCE.

Who do we contact during outages?
The transmission and distribution system will continue to be owned and operated by PG&E. All outrage communications and inquiries should continue to be directed towards PG&E. Customers are encouraged to sign up for and stay informed about PSPS alerts through PG&E’s website.

What is the PG&E exit fee and how long do customers have to pay for that? The PG&E “exit fee”, also known as the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA), is a fee charged to customers who leave PG&E service. PG&E was required to purchase long-term contracts on behalf of customers and this exit fee allows PG&E to keep costs stable for their remaining customers. This fee helps keep remaining PG&E customers cost “indifferent” to the electricity choices of other customers. The fee is tied to long-term contracts 20+ years in length and the fee decreases over the length of the contract until that contract expires.

What role does PG&E play as a partner to MCE?
PG&E acts as a partner to MCE, maintaining transmission and distribution services, as well as billing and gas. As a Community Choice Aggregator, MCE purchases electricity from more renewable resources on behalf of our customers, allowing PG&E to continue providing the same services they’ve always provided. MCE customers continue to work with PG&E in the case of outages, meter issues, applying for solar interconnection agreements and discount programs.

Packet Pg. 515 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 4 Overview
This document serves as a roadmap for MCE’s community outreach strategy for the electricity customers within the unincorporated and incorporated areas of Contra Costa County that voted to join MCE in 2017. The purpose of MCE’s community outreach strategy is to reach as many of the Contra Costa County communities as possible, including a demographically and socio-economically diverse collection of neighborhoods, to ensure all electric customers will be equipped with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their electric service provider.

MCE will educate the general customer base including residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal account holders through communitywide outreach. MCE will also implement targeted outreach strategies to specific community groups (e.g. service clubs, nonprofits, chambers of commerce).

The MCE Contra Costa County Community Outreach Plan combines strategies used successfully for previous enrollments1
, recognizing the unique characteristics and
different information channels of the communities, and provides an overview of the direct mail and advertising plan, meeting, event and presentation venues, and other strategies to facilitate community understanding of MCE and the new electricity options.

Introduction to MCE Contra Costa County
MCE first began serving Contra Costa in 2013, when the City of Richmond voted to join.

In 2015, the neighboring cities of El Cerrito and San Pablo voted to join. Then, in 2016 the cities of Lafayette and Walnut Creek voted to join, making them the first cities outside of District One (West Contra Costa County) to have Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) service.

Unincorporated Contra Costa County and the 14 cities without CCA service began investigating their options in 2015. The County authorized staff to conduct outreach and explore the formation of a separate CCA. Staff began outreach by hosting three community workshops in Hercules, Brentwood, and Walnut Creek in late 2015. In March 2016, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors voted to work with interested incorporated areas to obtain electrical load data from PG&E in order to conduct a technical study to consider their different Community Choice options. This technical study weighed the risks and opportunities to join MCE, join Alameda County’s forming CCA called East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), or to start a new Contra Costa CCA program.

Incorporated Contra Costa communities also began discussing their CCA options,

H.2.c
Packet Pg. 516 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 5 requesting presentations, convening subcommittees, and even forming citizen advisory committees to explore their options.

In 2017, the Town Council of Moraga was the first Contra Costa community to vote to join MCE, on April 26th. Then, on May 2nd the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors and the Town Council of Danville voted to join MCE. The Oakley City Council voted on May 9th, Pittsburg City Council voted on May 15th, Pinole City Council voted on June 6th, Concord City Council on May 23rd, Martinez City Council on June 7th and San Ramon City Council voted on June 26th.

These votes authorized the completion of MCE’s membership application, which includes a resolution, memorandum of understanding, and an ordinance requesting to join. MCE’s Board of Directors reviewed the membership applications of these nine interested jurisdictions on June 20th, 2017 and voted to extend membership to all applicants. MCE submitted the updated implementation plan to the CPUC on September 25th after Board approval included these nine new communities. The CPUC approved this implementation plan on December 21st , 2017.

MCE offers residents and businesses in these communities a choice of affordable, renewable energy in competition, but also in partnership, with PG&E. For customers who choose MCE, PG&E continues to provide electric delivery service including operating power lines, reading meters, issuing monthly bills and providing the same maintenance and repair services it always has – at the same rates. MCE provides the electric generation service, determining the sources of power, and replacing what PG&E would otherwise charge for electric generation.

As a not-for-profit, public electricity provider, governed by a board of elected officials, MCE gives Contra Costa communities more local control as to how and where their ratepayer dollars are spent. MCE’s priorities include reinvesting revenues toward 1) reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions; 2) supporting local energy efficiency and renewable generation projects; and 3) offering competitive rates while ensuring fiscal responsibility to customers and the Board of Directors through adherence to a robust reserve policy.

Enrollment & Service Options
Residents and businesses in the jurisdictions within these areas of Contra Costa County will soon have three MCE choices for their electricity supply: MCE Light Green 50% renewable; MCE Deep Green 100% renewable; or MCE Local Sol 100% local solar. $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI 3DFNHW3DJHRI
H.2.c
Packet Pg. 517 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 6 Customers can also choose to opt out and keep PG&E’s 33%2 renewable generation service or one of their other options, such as their 100% solar option.3 Because California State law (Assembly Bill 117, 2002) requires CCA programs like MCE to become the default provider of electric generation service, customers will be automatically enrolled with MCE unless they choose to opt out and continue purchasing PG&E’s energy supply. MCE’s outreach strategy focuses on providing customers with information about their electric service options to ensure that customers are choosing the electric service that’s right for them.

Light Green is MCE’s default service for automatic enrollment. If customers take no action, they will automatically jump from 33% to a minimum of 50% renewable energy at the start of their April 2018 billing period, which varies by customer. Customers may request to opt out of MCE service at any time after their first mailer arrives, in February 2018.

Customers may also request to enroll in MCE’s Deep Green 100% renewable energy service starting in January of 2018. Requests to enroll early in MCE’s Local Sol, 100% local solar option for residential and small commercial customers will also be accepted.

Customers with rooftop solar are also eligible for early enrollment in either Light Green, Deep Green, or Local Sol beginning in January 2018 to better align with their true-up bill. When customers participating in Net Energy Metering (NEM) are enrolled in MCE’s service, PG&E will automatically bill the customer for their owed charges. This may result in some customers paying a large bill. To avoid confusion with this process these customers may opt into MCE early, or wait to enroll in MCE to better align with their true-up date. MCE’s account services team can process these requests via [email protected].

There is no fee for customers who opt out before MCE service starts or within the first 60 days of service. Customers who opt out after 60 days of service with MCE will be subject to a one-time $5 (residential) or $25 (commercial) administrative fee. Customers will also be subject to PG&E’s terms and conditions of service and will not be able to return to MCE service for 1 year.4

MCE provides customer service via telephone, email, letter and in-office meetings. MCE currently has a single office location, in the City of San Rafael. Arrangements are being made to have a secondary location in Contra Costa County, in the City of Concord. 1 (888) 632-3674 [email protected] 1125 Tamalpais Avenue San Rafael, CA 94901
The call center is dedicated to assisting customers with questions and processing opt outs and Deep Green enrollments. To process opt out and Deep Green requests call center representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The start of 24/7 call center hours coincides with the mailing of the first notices and ends 60 days after MCE service begins. Regular call center hours, for all other inquiries, are Monday-Friday, 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Translation services for more than 240 languages are also available to non-English and non-Spanish speaking callers. A list of available translations services – including Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog, and Hindi – is included at the end of this document.

The [email protected] email address is monitored and maintained by MCE senior account management staff. Customers may request to opt out via the [email protected] email by sending the first six digits of their PG&E account number, the account holder’s name, and service address.

MCE can also provide in-office support at a central location chosen by city or town staff after the first enrollment notices are delivered, in order to respond to any public inquiries relating to enrollment and/or opting out. Traditionally, this has been a temporary desk space in City or Town offices. For a list of dates that MCE will be available on-site in city or town offices, visit www.mceCleanEnergy.org/meetings.

During these days, MCE staff can provide trainings to public-facing local government staff, provide answers to commonly asked questions and provide the protocol for escalating a concern to the call center. Part of this training will include providing a short “MCE Basics” document as well as a longer, more thorough “MCE Primer.” These documents can be used as reference material if ever a member of the public brings their questions to their local government offices. If additional MCE presence is requested by staff, MCE staff will include additional in-person locations on the second mailed notice.

For customers who prefer to speak to a representative in person, MCE’s San Rafael office customer service hours are Monday – Friday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. Once a Contra Costa location is arranged, this location will also be available for walk-ins.

Community Leader Advisory Group
Local input is central to MCE’s mission, so forming a volunteer Community Leader Advisory Group (CLAG) to guide outreach efforts is a priority. MCE proposes that the $WWDFKPHQW3DJHRI 3DFNHW3DJHRI
H.2.c
Packet Pg. 519 Attachment: Fairfield Staff Reports (2723 : Possible Consideration of Revisiting Decision Regarding Joining a Community Choice Aggregation 8 CLAGs be composed of various community representatives with diverse perspectives.

Examples include people from industry and business associations, sustainability, English as a Second Language (ESL), or senior-focused community organizations and local government officials or staff from each of the participating jurisdictions. MCE will also ensure that invited CLAG participants include community members who are not necessarily enthusiastic about enrollment with MCE, as well as those who are supportive, and/or undecided. Participants are invited based on consultations with city staff and council. Specific duties of the CLAG are listed below. x Meet to advise on outreach. This group will provide valuable insight to MCE helping to determine strategies for public engagement, outreach opportunities, and venues for reaching a broad cross-section of Contra Costa County. x Recommend ad venues including specific community publications, unique outdoor advertising venues – such as recycling trucks – or radio and print advertisements. These will be shared with MCE’s Marketing team for necessary budget allocation planning.
x Help MCE disseminate information about services and the enrollment process by posting directly on social media and/or responding to posts that contain misinformation about MCE (particularly on Nextdoor and Facebook). x Help organize and promote at least three MCE-hosted town hall-style meetings, preferably before April. These meetings will provide an additional venue to provide residents and businesses with information and answer questions about the new energy choices available. CLAG participants can help organize and promote attendance at these meetings. These meetings have been more effective if invited to share in a pre-established venue with hosts who are visible in the community. To that end, a CLAG participant could invite MCE to give a presentation to groups in their networks, such as groups of businesses they know, or at their places of worship.
x Provide feedback throughout the outreach process. The second CLAG meeting will be conducted for the purposes of participants providing MCE with feedback on how the outreach has been conducted up to that point. This may include feedback on where ads are located, how information about MCE is being distributed, events, and other components. CLAG participants can provide feedback to improve MCE’s outreach strategy during the second half of the enrollment period.

Communitywide Outreach Strategies
Mailed Enrollment Notices
Enrollment notices will be sent to every electricity customer in Concord, Danville, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Pinole, Pittsburg, San Ramon, and unincorporated Contra Costa County. This is required by California law, which requires that four such notices be sent.

The notices will also include a referral to the website, which is also available in Spanish.

Two notices will be mailed before enrollment and two will be mailed after service starts.

The first and second notices will be sent within 60 days prior to the start of service, depending on the date of MCE service start (e.g. some start first week of April and others the second, third or fourth week of April, depending on the start of their billing period). The third and fourth notices will be sent within 60 days after starting service. If a customer opts out, they will not receive additional enrollment notices.

Targeted Outreach Strategies

MCE recognizes that community borders are porous and community affiliations are not always easily defined. In order to maximize enrollment outreach, a number of strategies will be used to reach different stakeholder groups, generally outlined below. For communities that have specific events, requests, or cultural sensitivities, please see pages 17 through 37 for a more detailed breakdown of this general outreach. There are currently approximately 237,324 eligible electric accounts in Contra Costa County. Of those, roughly 217,142 (91.49%) are residential accounts and 17,947 (7.56%) are commercial accounts.

MCE will contact community based organizations to offer a presentation (at a meeting or community event), to provide information for newsletters or websites, and/or to partner in any other way to inform their audience about MCE’s service.

MCE will work with municipal staff to contact City Commissions, Boards, and local school districts to offer a presentation (at a meeting or community event), to provide information for newsletters or websites, and/or to partner in any other way to inform their audience about MCE’s service.

Commercial and industrial customers consume the majority of electricity in Contra Costa County. Commercial customers also have the greatest potential for build out of solar, electric vehicle, or storage infrastructure. There are 145 accounts that use over 140,000 kWh annually. Consequently, they have the opportunity to reduce the largest portions of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. MCE will contact organizations that work with Contra Costa County businesses to offer a presentation (at a meeting or community event), to provide information for newsletters or websites, and/or to partner in any other way to inform their audience about MCE’s coming service.

While MCE will be doing general outreach to the entire community, we have learned that there are certain customer groups that may require and benefit from more customized outreach. Due to particular circumstances (such as mobility, language, or financial barriers), these customer groups may need customized outreach sensitive to their situations. The following is a suggested list of community groups which would require additional outreach to compliment the general engagement strategy.

According to the 2015 census, approximately 34% of the population in unincorporated Contra Costa County speak a language other than English at home. This ranges from 14.7% in Danville to 49.1% in Pittsburg.6

MCE has a Spanish website, Spanish speaking customer service specialists available through its call center, and will provide printed informational material in Spanish. There are also call center translation options for more than 240 languages, including Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Lao, and Vietnamese. A list of available languages can be found at the end of this document.

According to the 2015 census, approximately 10.2% of the population in unincorporated Contra Costa County live below the poverty line. When looking at the spread in incorporated communities, this demographic ranges from 4.1% in Danville to

17.9% in Pittsburg.7
This group will receive special consideration in MCE’s outreach. Discounts like the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) and Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) are unaffected by MCE service and continue to be managed and billed by PG&E. If a customer is already enrolled in these programs, they do not need to do anything if they stay with MCE; their discount will remain the same.

According to our initial data request from PG&E, we see that there are approximately 40,000 eligible electric accounts enrolled in CARE or FERA in the nine new communities. This represents a full 18.23% of all eligible accounts. There is a statistically significant number of customers that are on both CARE/FERA as well as Medical Baseline. If you include the eligible accounts on Medical Baseline and remove the double-counting overlap between those on both CARE and Medical Baseline, the number of Contra Costa accounts on CARE, FERA, or Medical Baseline is approximately 45,500 or roughly 21% of eligible residential accounts.

For a single family residence, the CARE discount eligibility is broken down as follows:

If a customer is already enrolled in these programs, they do not need to do anything if they elect to stay with MCE.

For solar customers, MCE has a Net Energy Metering (NEM) program.8 A special
meter tracks the difference between the amount of electricity solar panels produce and the amount of electricity used during each billing cycle. When more electricity is produced than used, a credit is generated for the excess power.

For any excess electricity a solar system produces, MCE credits customers at the Deep Green premium rates (MCE’s Light Green retail rates + $0.01/kWh). Excess credits roll over each month and never zero out. NEM accounts with credits over $100 can be “cashed out” each year in April. PG&E bills once a year with a “true-up” statement but MCE bills monthly, so annual “true-ups” are smaller.

Please note that when a NEM account enrolls with MCE, PG&E performs an automatic “true-up” and bills that account for all electric charges incurred since their last “trueup” statement.

To educate solar customers, MCE will send customized enrollment notices to NEM customers, discuss NEM account considerations during public presentations, and distribute NEM-specific outreach materials (e.g., one-page flyers) at community events.

MCE will also contact solar businesses to ensure that they are aware of MCE’s NEM program.

8 MCE’s Net-Energy Metering (NEM) program may be available for other qualifying, small-scale renewable energy technologies besides photovoltaic (PV) solar. These could include wind, biopower, micro-hydroelectric resources, etc.

This general outreach will be complimented with community specific events, advertising, and outreach, as outlined by the following pages. Staff and possibly Council members from each of the nine new MCE member communities will be asked to help refine their community’s strategy, by helping MCE identify the most important media outlets, community leaders, local nonprofits, high-visibility events and other suggestions to reach the highest percentage of the population possible.

Contra Costa County (unincorporated) was one of the original 27 counties of California and is home to approximately 1,139,513 people. 173,454 people live in the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. The County spans more than 800 square miles and is by far the most heavily populated prospective MCE jurisdiction. Correspondingly, it also represents the single largest electricity load— approximately 25% of the combined load of all eligible incorporated and unincorporated communities. The cities of Concord and Pittsburg together represent another 25%. Contra Costa is a dynamic jurisdiction in terms of geography and demographics, and includes Mt. Diablo, historic Delta communities, extensive Bay Shore borders, multiple oil refineries and heavy industry, rich agricultural lands, and a broad array of ethnic groups, foreign languages, and socio-economic diversity.

The City of Concord is Contra Costa’s largest incorporated jurisdiction with a population of nearly 130,000 and more than 30.5 square miles within its borders. It is located toward the geographic center of the County at the base of Mt. Diablo and is home to many large businesses. The City has two BART stations and about one-fifth of the County’s population reportedly commutes to Concord for work. Concord alone represents more than 12% of MCE’s prospective additional electricity load, the second largest among all applicant communities. The Concord Naval Weapons Station is a focus of the City’s redevelopment efforts and it is widely considered to be an ideal site for innovative renewable energy projects. Wells Fargo and PG&E are among the City’s largest employers.

To the extent possible, MCE will attempt to maximize the channels that cross into various Contra Costa communities. This general outreach will be complimented with community specific events and outreach, as outlined by the following pages. Staff and possibly Council members from each of the nine new MCE member communities will be asked to help refine their community’s strategy, by helping MCE identify the most important media outlets, community leaders, local nonprofits, highvisibility events and other suggestions to reach the highest percentage of the population possible.

The City of Oakley is located in the eastern-most part of the County along the Delta and is home to approximately 40,600. The City incorporated relatively recently (1999) and spans just over 16 square miles. Oakley has been exploring CCA generally, and MCE membership specifically, for longer than most other jurisdictions seeking membership this inclusion period. In 2016, Oakley nearly joined MCE along with Lafayette and Walnut Creek. The City’s moto is “A Place for Families in the Heart of the Delta.”

The City of Pinole is among the County’s smallest jurisdictions and is home to approximately 20,000.

It has a sizable Latino population and spans approximately 5 square miles. The downtown area has many turn-of-the century buildings, which contrast with the many “big box” stores closer to Fitzgerald Drive, Appian Way, and Pinole Valley Road.. Pinole’s MCE inclusion would extend West Contra Costa County’s membership, along with Richmond, San Pablo, and El Cerrito.

The City of Pittsburg is a jurisdiction of both progress and promise with a population of about 70,000.

It is located at the point where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers meet and is home to a rich history of industry. It has substantial Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, and African-American communities, and spans nearly 20 square miles. Pittsburg alone represents more than 8% of MCE’s prospective additional electricity load, the third largest among all applicant communities. Pittsburg is home to two natural gas fired power plants as well as the Transbay Cable, a 53 mile high-voltage direct current underwater power transmission cable interconnecting PG&E’s Pittsburg and Potrero power substations, which provides San Francisco with an estimated 40% of its baseload electricity needs. All these projects came to fruition under the Pittsburg Power Company which is the City’s municipal utility. The City also has a small municipal utility (Island Energy), which serves Mare Island, Vallejo with natural gas and electricity services. The City has the resources and expertise of seasoned energy professionals as it explored the possibility of joining MCE. Currently, MCE is working with CalPine, AnswerNet, FutureBuild and the City to site a CCA call center in Pittsburg which will create 10 to 15 full time jobs.

Re: Consideration by City of Orinda -- Joining Community Choice Aggregation Agency (MCE) City Council Regular Meeting on Apr. 19, 2022
Dear Honorable Mayor Fay and City Councilmembers,
Thank you for your ongoing partnership with my office and for your steadfast dedication to the well-being of our mutual constituents in the City of Orinda. I urge that the City seriously consider and schedule for a formal vote at a future meeting the issue of whether to join a CCA.

The growing Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) movement in cities throughout the Bay Area and California seeks at its core to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by allowing consumers who currently obtain electricity from PG&E to opt instead to obtain a majority or all of their energy needs from clean renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power. As CCAs have been approved by city after city in California over the past five years, the CCA model can no longer be considered new or experimental, but is in fact the wave of the future. These cities in Contra Costa County have all joined a CCA (MCE) between 2015 and 2018: Moraga, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Danville, San Ramon, San Pablo, Richmond, El Cerrito, Pinole, Pittsburg, and Oakley.

I thank you for your leadership in discussing and contemplating opting in to a CCA for Orinda, which will be a critical step towards helping City residents transition to utilizing renewable sources for their electricity needs. This action would be a win-win change in the status quo that would be excellent for the City, the County and the State. Our municipalities are the incubators for good public policy and your actions will support the State’s broader effort to combat climate change throughout California.

To: [email protected]; David Biggs <[email protected]> Subject: MCE Clean Energy
I was surprised to discover that MCE Clean Energy is now available throughout Contra Costa County, including Lafayette and Moraga – but not Orinda.

I have been using an alternative provider of gas at a cost a little lower than PG&E’s, as well as PG&E’s own 100% solar electric option with a trivial difference in cost. No matter where the energy comes from, PG&E continues to control and charge separately for its distribution. There is no difference in service at the user level.

I believe the residents of Orinda deserve the same opportunity as our neighbors to choose MCE Clean Energy, and I urge you to make that possible.

Agenda Item: H.3
Date: April 19, 2022
Department: Administration
AGENDA TITLE: Non-Renewal/Termination of Agreement for Street Maintenance and Public Access of Village Gate Road, Ridge Gate Road, and Watchwood Court (Orindawoods).

RECOMMENDATION:

Direct the City Manager to Provide Notice of Non-Renewal/Termination of Agreement for Street Maintenance and Public Access of Village Gate Road, Ridge Gate Road, and Watchwood Court (Orindawoods).

BACKGROUND: In 1992, the City of Orinda entered into an Agreement (Attachment 1) with the Homeowners Association for the Orindawoods subdivision which has the City performing maintenance on designated private roads within the subdivision as specified.

The staff report and an excerpt from the minutes when this was initially discussed in 1991, together with the staff report and an excerpt from the minutes, together with the full version of Reso. 56-90, when the subject agreement was approved, are attached (Attachment 2).

DISCUSSION: During the 2020 review of the status of private roads, the City Council expressed an interest in terminating the Agreement for Street Maintenance and Pubic Access for the Orindawoods subdivision as the approach under the Agreement is inconsistent with the current City policy regarding private roads. This matter has been on a pending actions list for Public Works since that time. As the Agreement is set to automatically renew on June 9, 2022, for another five years pursuant to Section 9, of the Agreement, it is timely to give notice of non-renewal, or termination pursuant to Section 10.

The City Manager advised the Orindawoods Home Owners Association (HOA) in writing via letter dated March 3, 2022, that the Orinda City Council would be considering the possible termination of the Agreement (Attachment 3). It should be noted that the City last resurfaced the roads covered in the agreement as part of the 2019 annual pavement maintenance project, and as such has met its obligations to date and no additional work is anticipated in the next five year period, and given this fact and the upcoming renewal, consideration of this matter is timely.

It should be noted that the HOA did acknowledge receipt of the March 3rd letter and requested a copy of the Agreement. Since that time we have not had any feedback from the HOA on the proposed action.

NEXT STEPS: If the City Council approves the recommended action, the City Manager will provide the actual Notice of Non-Renewal/Termination to the HOA.

H.3
Packet Pg. 683
FISCAL IMPACT: Assuming that the obligation to maintain the specified roads is ended, the City would no longer have any annual maintenance costs or more substantial repair/rehabilitation costs for these roadways in the future.

ORINDA CITY COUNCIL MEETING

STAFF REPORT
Orindawoods Homeowners Association Request
Acceptance of Certain Roads in Orindawoods
Public Maintenance
John Lisenko
Public Works Director\City Engineer
for
for
On August 14, 1990, the City Council adopted a policy and criteria for acceptance of private streets. Since then, staff and representatives of the Orindawoods Association have been working toward the goal of presenting to the council an acceptance "package" that meets the intent of the acceptance criteria as it pertains to three specific streets in orindawoods. The Association has completed a legal vote of the owners (results attached) and a soils reconnaissance report. Staff has matched the proposed streets to the adopted criteria, and this comparison is presented in matrix form.

DISCUSSION
Village Gate Road meets or exceeds all relevant criteria. The other two streets proposed for acceptance are Ridge Gate Road and Watchwood Circle. Ridgegate, in combination with Village Gate meets the criteria. At the present time there is a difference of opinion between the Association and staff regarding the acceptability of Watchwood Circle. The Association position is that Watchwood together with Village Gate forms a complete loop and is a logical combination to be considered for ac~eptance. i The remaining issues yet to be resolved includes the preparation of a formal acceptance agreement, terms and conditions related to future maintenance and recordation of necessary easement and agreement documents. The model for the maintenance agreement would be the current agreement that exists between the City and the Association for other streets in the area (Orindawoods Drive, Kite Hill Road, etc.), which spells out the limits of City
responsibility and leaves responsibility for landscaping, sidewalks, drainage system and other roadway appurtenances with the Association.

In order to proceed with final arrangements involving the preparation of the necessary legal documents, both staff and the Association would like to receive a tentative approval from the Council. Based on this approval we would proceed with the details H.3.b

RESOLUTION NO. 56-90
Section 2.3.2-H of the Orinda General Plan provides that:
"Voluntary dedication of private streets will be considered for acceptance by the city on a case-by-case basis when streets and drainage systems are improved to city standards and present no expense to the city upon dedication."
A draft document entitled "Development Standard Guidelines" has been developed by the Development Standards Committee and staff and considered by the Planning commission. Following several public hearings, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the "Development · Standard Guidelines" which included a chapter on existing roads.

On June 12, 1990, the City Council considered the "Development Standard Guidelines" at a public hearing.

NOW THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Orinda finds, determines and orders as follows:

The policy and criteria for acceptance of existing private roads as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached to this resolution is adopted.

Passed and adopted at a meeting of the City Council of the City of Orinda at a meeting held on August 28, 1990 by the following vote:

Exhibit A

EXISTING PRIVATE ROADS
city of Orinda Policy statement Regarding Acceptance:

The acceptance of existing, privately maintained roads into the city's street system shall be by Resolution of the City Council and shall be subject to the following criteria:

A. The request for acceptance shall be signed by all record owners of fee interest in the road in ques~lbn. This will apply in all cases where a private road has not been covered previously by ._an offer of dedication.

B. The road shall directly connect to a public street or highway.

C. There shall be demonstrated a need for the incorporation of the road into the City I s road system for purposes of traffic circulation, for example:
- the road connects two existing public streets and
provides the only means of access to one of those
streets.
- the road is a "collector" street that connects a public street with other private streets, particularly in
situations where maintenance of the private streets is
under separate agreement from the "collector" street. - the road can provide a viable alternative to an existing public street in the event that public street is impassable.

D. Any road proposed for inclusion in the public street system shall be upgraded, at no expense to the City, to standards that the City has adopted for this purpose, which · are as follows:

1. Pavement conditions - improvements shall be made as
necessary to the asphalt and/or roadbed to provide
a pavement life of 20 years. The roadway shall be
in a condition as to not need surface maintenance
treatment for a minimum of 5 years.

2. Drainage adequate capacity of all drainage
facilities shall be demonstrated and all damaged
and undersized facilities shall be replaced.

3. Soil stability A soils investigation, by a
Registered Civil Engineer with the title of "Soils
Engineer" or "Geotechnical Engineer" as outlined in
section 6736.1 of the Professional Engineers Act,
shall be conducted for the roadway, right-of-way
and adjacent up and down slopes. The investigation

Dear John:

Subject: Proposed Roads for City Maintenance.

Regarding our request to the City to maintain specifically named roads in Orindawoods, a vote of the owners was concluded Saturday, March 16, 1991 on this issue. Per your request I am presenting the results of that vote, and a copy of the material that was sent to the owners.

In order for this type of action to pass, our CC&Rs require two tests:

1. There must be a quorum -- which means that 50% of the owners must vote. Since Orindawoods has a possible 258 votes. a quorum is 129.

Since we had 18 0 voters, we met this test.

2. The majority of those voting then determine the outcome.

Since the vote was 179 FOR and 2 AGAINST,
the measure passed with extremely strong su.i:wort.

I'll give you a call to discuss the next steps.

Sincerely,

Project 91476-01
As requested by Mr. Jim Ellis of the Orindawoods H:>meowner's Association and as authorized by a signed copy of our proposal 91-111, dated April 23, 1991, we have conducted a preliminary site reconnaissance and assessment of pavement distress observed in two (2) areas along Village Gate Road in Orinda, California. The purposes of our preliminary evaluation were to provide a preliminary opinion of the cause of the observed distress and to provide an opinion regarding the future performance of those sections of roadway. The Orindawoods Homeowner's Association has retained MS Geotechnical Consultants, Inc. to perform this preliminary study.

It is our understanding that both the Orindawoods Homeowner's Association and the City of Orinda are considering making Village Gate Road a public thoroughfare by turning this road over to the City of Orinda. The Orindawoods Homeowner's Assoclation has requested a preliminary evaluation of two (2) specific pavement areas of Village Gate Road.

Specifically, our scope of work for this study included the following:
• · Review readily available information regarding the general geologic and subsurface conditions in the vicinity of Village Gate Road;
• Review available previous geotechnical engineering studies conducted in the vicinity of the project site;
• O>serve site conditions including pavement distress, surface drainage, adjacent slopes and provide photographic documentation;

• Formulate preliminary opinions and conclusions based on the above tasks; • Prepare an engineering letter report summarizing the results of our study as well as our opinions and recommendations.

OBSERVATIONS OF PAVEMENTS
We visited the subject site on March 29, 1991 to observe the two (2) pavement areas in question. The site conditions were documented with field notes and photographs. Observations were made by Mr. Michael Merrill, Principal, with our firm and Mr. Barry Butler, a Project Engineer with our firm. Mr. Jim Ellis of the Orindawoods t-:-lomeowner's Association was also present. During our site visit, we made the following observations.

Site I
• Site I is located on the southwest side of Village Gate Road, just northwest of its intersection with Ravenhill Road as shown on the attached Site Location Map (Figure 1). • Site I exhibits linear cracking along the outside lane of a curve at this location. The cracking is linear; i.e., parallel to the road, and has been filled with some sort of asphalt emulsion (Photograph I, 2 and 3). No vertical displacement across the cracks was observed.
• Site I is located adjacent to a steep, short slope (Photograph 3). The presence of this ste~p slope suggests that some fill could be present beneath the sidewalk or beneath the edge of the pavement at this location.

Site 2
• Site 2 is located on the east side of Village Gate Road, just south of its intersection with The Glade as shown on the Site Location Map (Figure I). • Site 2 also exhibits some linear cracking on the outside lane of a curve (Photograph 4).

The cracks have been sealed previously with some type of asphalt emulsion and do not exhibit signs of vertical displacement across the cracks (Photograph 5). (Ms GEOTECHNICAL CONSULTANTS. INC.

Packet Pg. 717 Attachment: Prior Staff Reports and Reso (2744 : Orindawoods Non-Renewal Termination of Street Maintenance Agreement) 3 • Site 2 is located adjacent to a relatively steep slope on the east side of Village Gate Road (Photograph 6).

The presence of this steep slope, the presence of mature trees adjacent to the sidewalk and the presence of a steep cut on the uphill (west) side of Village Gate Road suggest that the outside, or east, edge of ViJlage Gate Road is underlain by some native soils.

DISCUSSION
Very little information regarding previous studies at the site is available with respect to roads. l-lowever, our review of previous work done during development of the Orindawoods complex, as well as aerial photographs of the site vicinity (Pacific Aerial Surveys, 1953, 1973, 1984) suggests that both sites in question (Figure I) are located where Village Gate Road crosses the top of a pre-existing topographic swale. This suggests that the uphill portions of these areas are probably located over bedrock, while the downhill portions are most likely located over fill underlain by either weathered bedrock or some residual soils. In addition, the downhill portions of these roadways appear to be located at the outsides of curves. Thus, it appears likely that the minor linear crocking in these areas is probably due to a tendancy of the road surface to spread as a result of the forces of traffic on the outside of the curve combined with a soil subgrade material that is less resistant to deflection than the surrounding subgrade materials.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on our review of available geologic and geotechnical information, on our review of previous geotechnical work done at the site, on our review of aerial photographs of the site vicinity and on our examination of the two (2) pavement areas, we have formulated the following conclusions.
• It is our opinion that the distress observed in the pavements of Village Gate Road at the .two (2) locations in question is relatively minor.
- • It is our opinion that the distress to the pavements at both locations is most likely the result of a combination of the forces of traffic traveling on the outside lanes of the curves of those areas and an underlying soil subgrade which, most likely, is slightly weaker than the surrounding bedrock subgrade materials.
• It is our opinion that these two (2) areas are likely to require some minor maintenance from time to time, such as periodic patching of the longitudinal cracks to prevent the intrusion of surface water.

RE: NOTICE OF NON-REWNEAL/CONSIDERATION OF NOTICE OF TERMINATION – STREET MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT DATED JUNE 9, 1992
I am writing to share that the Orinda City Council will consider the possible termination of the Agreement for Street Maintenance and Public Use of Village Gate Road, Ridge Gate Road, and Watchwood Court (Orindawoods) pursuant to section 10 of said agreement. However, the Agreement is set to automatically renew as on June 9, 2022, for another five years pursuant to Section 9, and by this letter, the City is giving notice of non-renewal prior to automatic renewal.

The City last resurfaced the roads covered in the agreement as part of the 2019 annual pavement maintenance project, and as such has met its obligations to date and no additional work is anticipated in the next five year period, and given this fact and the upcoming renewal, consideration of this matter is timely.

This item is planned to be before the City Council on April 19, 2022, and I wanted to the HOA advance notice that the matter will be considered at that time.

Please feel free to reach out to discuss this matter if you have any questions.

David Biggs

Staff Report
Agenda Item: H.4
Date: April 19, 2022
Department: City Council
AGENDA TITLE: Discussion of Annual Update to the Capital Improvement Plan RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council conduct its first review and discussion of the annual update to the City's rolling five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2021/22-2026/27. No action is being taken to approve projects or appropriate funds.

The information obtained from this meeting will be used to develop formal updates to the CIP, including the addition of new projects. The City Council will have additional opportunities to review and provide input in the next two months along with the midcycle budget adjustments before the CIP is approved.

CIP PLANNING PROCESS IN UNCERTAIN TIMES:

The CIP is a financial planning document which relies on estimates of available resources. The plan then presents a road map, balancing the various funding needs over numerous proposed projects, to ensure sufficient funding exists. For capital projects it is important to look beyond one year. In some cases the City may have accumulated funds over multiple years, or it may still be in a saving mode to address critical deficiencies. The COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have an impact on City resources, along with more recent changes to the economy, such as significant increases in inflation, changes in the labor market, and supply chain interruptions.

These developments have resulted in increased prices for construction materials and supplies, such as asphalt, fuel, lumber and metals. This leads to higher bid prices for projects. In light of this environment, Staff recommends a fiscally conservative approach to only fund the most essential projects.

BACKGROUND:

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies projects and funding sources for longterm capital investments that are designed to protect, preserve, and enhance the City's infrastructure, extend the useful service life of public facilities and improve or enhance delivery of City services. The City Council annually discusses priorities, overall funding of future projects, and potentially new projects to be added to the CIP. To set the stage for consideration of the annual update of the Five Year CIP, staff will make a presentation at the City Council meeting updating the Council and Community on the projects completed to date in the 21/22 fiscal, both prior and current fiscal year projects, and the status of the balance of the programmed 21/22 capital projects.

The City Council last approved the CIP on June 29, 2021, for the five-year period FY 2021-2025, which included expected expenditures for fiscal year which was underway (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022) and forecasted expenditures for a four-year period (to June 30, 2025). Attachment A is a listing of the current approved CIP projects by H.4
Packet Pg. 732
category. Programming for future years enables the CIP to be used as a planning tool to prioritize potential projects and schedule them in light of projected fund balances.

This year, in order to forecast a conventional five year period, the CIP will encompass an additional year. It should also be noted that in order to be consistent with the twoyear overall city budget cycle, the CIP will be updated annually, and then comprehensively adopted during the two-year cycle with the overall budget.

The CIP update and adoption process encompasses three City Council meetings:
 City Staff meets with the City Council to present proposed changes to the CIP which includes consideration of new project. (This is the subject meeting.)  Based on input received at the first meeting, Staff prepares a proposed updated CIP, including new projects proposed at the above meeting, fiscal changes to current projects, and removal of completed or discontinued projects. This will be presented to the City Council, tentatively in May 2022.  (Planning Commission reviews new projects in the CIP update to determine conformance with the General Plan, prior to adoption by City Council)  Staff prepares the final updated CIP that will be recommended for adoption by the City Council, tentatively in June 2022.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the subject item is to receive input from the City Council (concurrence and/or direction) on allocating funding for capital projects as described in the various Tables below. This will allow Staff to be better informed before proceeding with further analyses which includes balancing the various fund sources to ensure minimum levels are maintained. Depending on the priority and needs for proposed project(s), it may be warranted to reschedule or even cancel future year projects already in the approved CIP to allow funding of such new projects.

It should be noted that Staff is not including maintenance related projects under $60,000 such as building painting and carpet installation, as these typically are not classified as capital improvements. Costs for such work would be incorporated into the operating budget.

Staff have separated the potential projects into the categories as described below:

NEXT STEPS:

Staff will follow the direction given by the City Council and address/incorporate any comments into the draft of the CIP Update to be reviewed by Council in May 2022. Staff will further analyze the selected projects, and determine impact to the funding sources and the fund balances.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project budgets, cost estimates, and potential project funding sources are preliminary.

No funding is being appropriated by the City Council with this item – it is for preliminary review only, and no new projects are approved to move forward.
