Councilmember Lyon stated that he is not prepared to act on the matter, as he requires additional time to review the 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP).

Councilmember Hampton spoke on the importance for staff to be mindful of the residents in the City and the impacts to the resident’s utility bills with any changes related to achieving 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon -free sources by the end of 2030. He spoke in support of working towards 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon- free sources by the end of 2030. He asked sta ff to provide information to the City Council on the plan to reach the City’s goal of 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon-free sources by the end of 2030; the costs to the City’s rate payers associated with the goal; and provide information (a “dashboard”) on the City’s Water and Power website of the steps made by staff to reach the goal. Councilmember Hampton stated that the item should be tabled and requested that staff return to the Committee with the additional information requested by the Committee for further review and discussion on the matter.

Councilmember Jones stated that he is not able to support the staff recommendation; and asked staff to provide a plan that outlines specific goals to reach 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon-free sources by the end of 2030. In addition, he advocated for an equity strategy plan to accompany the IRP . He spoke in support of Councilmember’s request related to the creation of a dashboard on the City’s Water and Power website providing tracking inform ation on the IRP.

Councilmember Jones asked staff to respond to the Environmental Advisory Committee’s (EAC) correspondence on the matter.

Vice Mayor Williams asked staff to provide information on the following items:

• Solar equity
• Rate equity to determine the impacts on the different classes of rates
• Options for repowering the Glenarm Power Plan
• New technology evaluations using local schools
• Partnering with schools and the community to create additional solar space

Councilmember Hampton advocated to move forward with the proposed 2023 IRP, and at a later date amend the 2023 IRP to include a plan with all the information requested by the Commi ttee members and City Council.

Councilmember Lyon spoke on the need for staff to provide information on the current barriers that exist in achieving 100% of Pasadena’s electricity from carbon-free sources by the end of 2030. 4 04 10/10/2023

Following discussion, the Committee agreed with staff to provide aggressive and challenging greenhouse and carbon milestone goals that would be completed prior to 2030; and a bifurcated plan with information on guidelines and actions to achieve higher carbon free aspirations.

Miguel Marquez, City Manager, expressed his commitment to the carbon free goal and recognized that the City’s plan should be aggressive but feasible in obtaining the City’s goals.

Vice Mayor Williams asked staff to ensure the 2023 IRP plan is presented to the EAC for additional input.

MEMORANDUM
December 12, 2023

To: Municipal Services Committee

From: Sidney Jackson
General Manager

Subject: Metropolitan Water District Pipeline Shutdown Update

This memorandum is for information only.

BACKGROUND:

The attached presentation provides information to the Municipal Services Committee (“MSC”) about a planned disruption of imported water deliveries from The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“MWD”) from February 5 to 14, 2024. MWD’s pipeline that typically delivers MWD supplies to Pasadena Water and Power (“ PWP”) will be shut down for valve maintenance and for MWD facility inspection. PWP estimates minimal impacts to PWP system deliveries through utilization of storage, local supplies, and partial flow of MWD supplies when available during the shutdown period. Taking additional precautionary measures to further conserve storage , PWP is performing outreach to key accounts for their assistance in curbing outdoor water use during MWD’s pipeline shutdown. PWP will continue to monitor water demands and s hould there be dry weather through January, outreach efforts may be expanded to include customers throughout the service area in their voluntary reduction of outdoor watering. Currently, under the Level 2 Water Shortage Plan Level, outdoor watering is restricted to one day per week.

The 2022/2023 Work Plan outlines how the Pasadena Public Library Commission aims to support and advise the Library in the upcoming year. Whereas this work plan will span an entire fiscal year, the Commission will evaluate the progress of each of these goals on a quarterly basis to ensure progress is being made and the goals are completed.

With the ongoing seismic retrofitting project for the Central Library and the upcoming expiration of the Library Special Tax in 2023, the Library Commission’s primary focus in the upcoming year is to:
• Raise awareness for the Library Services Continuation Measure • Support the efforts to renovate the Central Library
• Assist with bringing Central Library services back to the community (either through alternative sites and/or via the branches), including providing awareness to the community on where and how to access important resources
The following goals and objectives, which make up the Pasadena Public Library Commission Work Plan for 2022/2023 also provide ways the Library Commission will support the Central Library Project.

Goal One – Advocacy – advocate and be a champion for Pasadena Public Library services at the local, state, and national levels.
a. Support and advocate for the library by serving as community ambassadors, attending major library events, interfacing with City Council, advocating for budget needs, and supporting library staff. Represent Library Commission at district meetings, State of the City, local and regional meetings, and local community events.
b. Actively support and promote library programs, services, and initiatives such as Office of the Young Child, the Library Services Continuation Measure, the Central Library retrofit and restorations, One City One Story, special events, and day -to-day programs, as well as promote them to sphere of influence.
c. Stay abreast of state and national library legislation and support as necessary. 2022

Over the past fiscal year, the members of the Pasadena Library Commission have dedicated themselves to advocating for the enhancement and promotion of public library services in the city. Their efforts spanned across local, state, and national levels, effectively supporting, and promoting programs that directly benefited the citizens of Pasadena. Some of the key programs that received significant support from the Library Commission members was the Summer Reading Program, Lunch at the Library, the Way to Well Being Initiative and the One City, One Story events.

As pas
sionate advocates for public library services, Pasadena Library Commission members attended city- wide and district specific events to advocate for and promote library services. Commissioners took part in and reported on library services at District meetings, liaised with library associate groups to promote library programs, and served as library ambassadors at community events.

Thei
r advocacy work spanned local, state, and national levels, through letters of support sent to the American Library Association (ALA) and the California Library Association (CLA) in regard to intellectual 82 PASADENA PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION

/23 Update:

Recognizing the significance of securing sustainable funding for the library, the Commission members dedicated a significant portion of their efforts in the current fiscal year to fundraising activities including attending Support Measure L events, presenting relevant information to community members and advocating through sign posting. They undertook these efforts outside of their regular Commission meetings and without utilizing any City resources. By engaging in fund development, the Commission aimed to raise awareness among community members and stakeholders about the importance of supporting the Library Services Continuation Measure. These fundraising activities created the necessary support and resources to effectively advocate for the Measure and its positive impact on the library.

In addi

Through these meetings, the Commissioners presented compelling arguments and highlighted the library's vital role in education, literacy, and community development. Their advocacy efforts aimed to secure increased funding from the City to ensure the library's continued success and growth.

Throughout the year, they worked closely with the Director of Libraries and Information Services, attending budget meetings, and actively engaging with City Council members to ensure ongoing support for the library's operations and initiatives.

The
Commissioners' commitment to advocating for the library's financial sustainability, coupled with their fundraising efforts and engagement with City Council members, have solidified their position as effective advocates for the library.

Commissioners engaged with presentations on the Early Child Development Policy and early learning task force updates, two library services that support EDI initiatives. Their valuable feedback and input during these presentation aid in assessment and enhancement of the library’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
