STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR

PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: PRESENTATION FROM PIONEER COMMUNITY ENERGY ON

COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION OPERATIONS AND

CONSIDERIONG OF SUBMISSION OF A LETTER OF INTEREST AND

DIRECTION TO EXPLORE A FUTURE AGREEMENT WITH PIONEER

COMMUNITY ENERGY
DATE: JULY 16, 2024

SUMMARY
Council will hear a presentation from Pioneer Community Energy (PCE) on their Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program and consider submitting a letter of interest to explore the financial feasibility of joining PCE.

DISCUSSION
California State law provides for the formation of Community Choice Aggregators (CCA), which allows local governments to purchase electricity on behalf of customers in place of investorowned utilities such as PG&E. By joining a CCA through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), the source and costs of energy provided locally is controlled by the local governing body.

By law, before a community can join a CCA, a study must first be performed to demonstrate that the inclusion in the CCA provides a benefit to the community and will not create a burden on the existing members of the JPA. Should the analysis be beneficial to both parties and there is a desire to move forward in joining the CCA, the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) needs one full calendar year for planning purposes.

Oroville joined Butte Choice Energy (BCE) in October of 2022, a local CCA whose members comprised of Oroville, Chico, and Butte County. The formation of a CCA requires a significant amount of up front funding and incurring debt to begin purchasing energy that can then be sold to members of a community. Due to the COVID pandemic and the insecurity of the financial markets, the BCE Board determined to not take action to launch BCE, and instead continue to monitor the market to consider launching at a later, more financially favorable date. At this time, it still is not financially feasible to launch a new CCA.

City staff has recently begun discussions with Pioneer Community Energy (PCE), which includes El Dorado County, Placer County, Auburn, Colfax, Grass Valley, Lincoln, Loomis, Nevada City, Placerville and Rocklin. Through these conversations, research, and discussion 48 Item 6.
with industry professionals, staff has learned that PCE is accepting new members and has a track record of providing energy to its member communities at a rate that is 10% lower than that provided by PGE on the average.

Additionally, staff has conferred with staff from Chico, Town of Paradise and Butte County and each agency will also be considering providing a request to their Council and Board to continue the exploration of joining PCE by submitting a Letter of Interest to the PCE Board of Directors (Attachment 1).

FISCAL IMPACT
None

RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff to sign and submit to PCE the attached Letter of Interest and continue discussion with PCE until such a time as is appropriate to return to Council for further action.

RE: Letter of Interest for Pioneer Community Energy
Dear XXXX,
Through our recent discussion and the presentation that we were provided about Pioneer Community Energy (PCE), we would like to continue exploring the mutual benefits that may be realized if the City of Oroville (City) were to become a member agency to PCE.

The City has an interest in providing energy options for our residents and businesses, particularly if there is a pathway to that energy being provided at a lower rate than that provided by PGE. In addition – it appears based on our conversation there could be a synergy of energy interests between PCE and the City. It is our understanding that an expression of interest such as found in this letter will allow PCE to begin an exploration of potential inclusion of the Oroville Community as a member agency in the PCE organization. During this period of exploration both PCE and the City would be free of obligation until such time that it is deemed appropriate to enter into a formal agreement.

Thank you for connecting with us and for outlining the great work being conducted by Pioneer Community Energy.

I look forward to continuing our conversations and I am optimistic that there is potential for mutual benefits that will be favorable to both of our organizations.

Sincerely,

About Pioneer:

An Overview for the
City of Oroville
July 16, 2024
51 Item 6.

Introductions
• Don Eckert: Chief Executive Officer, Pioneer Community Energy • Gina Stassi-Vanacore: Director of Communications, Pioneer Community Energy
• Lisa DeLaby: Community Outreach Manager, Pioneer Community Energy
52 Item 6.

Considerations
Butte Choice Energy
Regional Considerations
• City of Chico & Town of Paradise – approved
moving forward w/IAS
• Butte County - 7/30
• Sutter County, Yuba City, Live Oak - approved
• Criteria for Expansion
53 Item 6.

How Does A CCA Work?
Pioneer buys electricity
from various suppliers.

The buying team works
with sources to negotiate
pricing and ensure a
steady, affordable energy
supply.

PG&E delivers
electricity, maintains
the infrastructure of
power lines and poles,
and sends out bills to
customers.

As a customer of both
Pioneer and PG&E,
customers get a choice in
electricity providers. With
Pioneer, you'll receive
competitive rates, energy
options and exceptional
customer service.
54 Item 6.

MythBusters
• Does Pioneer replace PG&E?
 Pioneer is a choice on the generation portion
of your utility service – poles, wires, and bill
are still PG&E
• If I join Pioneer, will it impact my PG&E service?
 Your requests will not be “put in the back of
the line” because you’re with a CCA
• Will my Transmission & Distribution (T&D) rates
increase by joining Pioneer because of savings?
 There is no impact to your PG&E T&D rates because of
joining Pioneer
55 Item 6.

MythBusters (continued)
• Is Pioneer just a “middle-man” buying from PG&E
and marking up to the ratepayers?
 No, Pioneer procures its own power from various
sources to provide savings, not PG&E
• I’m on Solar NEM 2.0. Will I be defaulted to the
new NEM rate?
 Whatever NEM vintage you are on simply transfers over to Pioneer that pays a premium over PG&E on your net
generation
• Will I lose my PG&E Programs?
 Any program or special rate you are on with PG&E will not be impacted by joining the CCA
56 Item 6.

Why Choose Pioneer?
• Pioneer serves inland communities with
similar priorities like customer savings,
community reinvestment, exceptional
customer service, and economic development
• Ratepayer Savings – We are committed to
providing competitive electricity rates and
have save customers $85 million since
launching in 2018.
• Pioneer is a Joint Powers Authority, a not-forprofit public agency, with a board of directors comprised of only elected officials from the
jurisdictions we serve
• Creating opportunities to support biomass,
and local power purchase agreements
- El Dorado Irrigation District ($37 million)
- PCWA (Over $10 million)
- Sierra Pacific Industries ($1.2 million)
- Grass Valley- Biomass RFP
- Western Placer Waste Management- biomass plant

Governance
No weighted voting based on electrical load
usage. Each Member gets equal say.

One Member – One Vote
Each Member Agency is represented by an
elected official from the City/Town Council
or County Board of Supervisors
Board Members are Elected
Officials
The Member Agency decides who sits on the
Board. Pioneer imposes no term limits but
encourages consistency when considering
the complexities of the business
You Decide
59 Item 6.

Pioneer’s Criteria for Expansion
Pioneer’s Board adopted an expansion policy with
the following criteria:

1. Makes financial sense – Pioneer would commission a
3rd party to run an “Impact Assessment Study” to
compare projected rates at time of launch with
projected power supply cost to serve the new
customers

2. Be like-minded – Pioneer Board prioritizes:

1. Savings

2. Biomass – reliable energy, mitigates wildfire risks, jobs

3. Local projects = local jobs

3. One Member – One Vote = no weighted voting

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: DISCONTINUANCE OF FLUORIDATION OF DOMESTIC WATER

PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY TO

CITY OF OROVILLE
DATE: JULY 16, 2024

SUMMARY
The Council will consider a resolution directing staff to work with the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) and California Water Service (CalWater) to discontinue the requirement to add fluoride to domestic water that is provided to customers residing within the City of Oroville.

DISCUSSION
On February 1, 1954, the Oroville City Council passed a resolution requesting that California Board of Public Health issue a permit to CalWater, authorizing CalWater to add fluoride to domestic water supply provided to the City residents. In addition, the resolution requested that CalWater obtain said permit. In 1957, CalWater started to fluoridate the drinking water within the City limits.

State law currently requires systems with 10,000 or more service connections to fluoridate water if public funds are available to do so. In 2018, 59% of water systems in California treated their water with fluoride (down from 64%in 2014). Currently public funds are not available for this service.

There are differing opinions on the potential benefits of adding fluoride to water. In 1954, this matter was brought before the Oroville City Council at the request of many Oroville residents, as a way to help prevent tooth decay. Since this time, other methods have been introduced as a way to apply fluoride to your teeth. On May 21, 2024 the Oroville City Council considered the need to continue fluoridation in domestic water provided by CalWater and directed staff to take necessary steps to discontinue this requirement.

2. The CPUC determine appropriate rates and/or rate adjustments for domestic water supply in the City.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
RE: PLACEMENT OF SOLID WASTE LIENS ON THE 2024-25 PROPERTY

TAX ROLL
DATE: JULY 16, 2024

SUMMARY
The Council may consider the placement of solid waste liens from Recology on the 2024-25 property tax roll.

DISCUSSION
The City’s Franchise Agreement with Recology and City Ordinance No. 1562 provide that the City must place delinquent garbage bills on the tax roll of property owners to ensure the proper funding for the refuse removal and disposal service.

Recology is required to send two notices prior to turning their delinquent garbage bills over to the City to be placed on the tax roll. The first notice is to both the service recipient (who may or may not be the property owner) as well as the property owner of record. The second notice states that if the payment is not received in fifteen days, a delinquency fee will be added to the bill when the City places the lien on the property.

These procedures are all in accordance with Ordinance No. 1562 and Resolution No. 4486 and 4929. In turning these delinquent tax bills over to the City to be placed on the tax roll of the property owner, Recology has certified that it has complied with all required procedures.

The City receives a small fee for each lien placed. $20.00 each to Recology and to the City for a total of $40.00 in fees for each parcel.

FISCAL IMPACT
The number of liens is unknown at this time. Prior year was 240 parcels for $4,800.00 ($20 of revenue per parcel placed on the tax roll).

ASSESSMENT TITLE: Solid Waste Liens TAXCODE: 77016
Is This a Compliance Certification X
PROPOSITION 218 OR COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS STATEMENT 2024-2025
The City of Oroville certifies the following:

I have read and am familiar with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the State Constitution as revised by Proposition 218, including the articles cited below, and believe that all of the taxes, assessments, levies and fees accompanying the 2024-2025 submission to the County-Auditor for inclusion on the Secured Property Tax roll are in compliance with the law.

Article XIII C. Sec. 2 (c) “Any general tax imposed, extended, or increased, without voter approval, by any local government on or after January 1, 1995, and prior to the effective date of this article, shall continue to be imposed only if approved by a majority vote of the voters voting in an election on the issue of the imposition, which election shall be held within two years of the effective date of this article and in compliance with subdivision (b).”
Article XIII D. Sec. 5 “…this article shall become effective the day after the election unless otherwise provided. Beginning July 1, 1997, all existing, new, or increased assessments shall comply with this article.”
Article XIII E. Sec. 6 (d) “Beginning July 1, 1997, all fees or charges shall comply with this section.” The Agency/District agrees that it shall be solely liable and responsible, and will defend and hold harmless the County of Butte, the Board of Supervisors, the Auditor-Controller, the Tax Collector, its officers and employees, from litigation over whether the requirements of Proposition 218 were met with respect to such levy (levies).

If any judgment is entered against any indemnified party as a result of not meeting the requirements of Proposition 218 for such special tax(es), fee(s) or assessment(s), the Agency/District agrees that County may offset the amount of any judgment paid by an indemnified party from any moneys collected by County on Agency/District’s behalf, including property taxes, special taxes, fees, or assessments. In addition, the Agency/District shall be solely liable and responsible and will defend and hold the County and the County Auditor harmless from any and all legal fees or other costs incurred related to such a claim.

STAFF REPORT
TO: VICE MAYOR & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MAYOR PITTMAN
RE: LETTER OF SUPPORT IN MARYSVILLE'S DISASTER DECLARATION DATE: JULY 16, 2024

SUMMARY
The City Council will receive a report from Mayor Pittman on the Letter of Support that was sent to various government officials pertaining to Marysville's Disaster Declaration.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville has a vested interest in the economic vitality of Marysville and our region, are writing to express our concern regarding the adverse impacts of the Marysville Hotel incident, previously managed by Urban Smart Growth, on local and regional businesses.

The Marysville Hotel incident has extensive disruptions to both the City of Marysville and the region. Specifically, the incident has forced road closures and traffic diversions on State Highway 70 between 3rd and 4th Streets, which is having significant impacts on business operations throughout Marysville and the region. Despite not being within the immediate fall zone, numerous businesses have reported significant declines in customer traffic and revenue, compelling some to implement workforce reductions as a means of financial sustainability.

Mayor Pittman sent a letter on his behalf in support of the declaration of a State of Emergency for Marysville, and requests consideration for a letter in Support from the entire Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
