Subject: Public Comment - Agenda Item 13 - In Support of Optimized Plan's Scope of Work Dear City Council Members,
My name is Jamie Scott, and I am a resident of Pasadena District 6.
I strongly support the Scope of Work proposed by E3 as it will provide a comprehensive plan to achieve the goal of 100% carbon free electricity by 2030.
Thus, I urge the City Council to vote in favor of Agenda Item 13 with a few amendments:
1) Remove Renewable Natural Gas, a carbon neutral resource, from the list of available options for the Glenarm Conversion study.
2) Require the development of a Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group to meet at least once a month over the duration of the Optimized Plan's planning process. 3) Include an investigation into how enhancements to the rooftop incentive program, marketing initiatives, and a plan similar to Glendale's to get to at least 1 00MW of rooftop solar can help get us to our goal.
4) Include an analysis into more equitable rate structuring, such as Time of Use (TOU) rates.
Thanks very much for considering this message!

Good morning City Council Members,
As Pasadena residents committed to supporting the development of a healthier Pasadena that resumes the role of a regional leader on sustainability issues, the Reutimann household supports the Scope of Work proposed by E3, with the following key amendments:
1. Remove Re_newable Natural Gas, a carbon neutral resource that would continue to pollute surrounding neighborhoods and regional air quality, from the list of available options for the Glenarm Conversion study;
2. Require the development of a Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group to meet at least once a month over the duration of the Optimized Plan's planning process;
3. Study opportunities to optimize Pasadena's rooftop solar program, and set a goal to get to at least 1 00MW of rooftop solar like our neighbors in Glendale; and
4. Analyze more equitable rate structuring, such as Time of Use (TOU) rates.
Thank you for your service to the community,
-Wes and Kristin Reutimann

Subject: RE: Agenda Item 13. CONSULTING SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMIZED STRATEGIC PLAN TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF RESOLUTION NO. 9977 Some people who received this message don't often get email from [&1 CAUTION: This email was delivered from the Internet. Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe. Report phish using the Phish Alert Button.
E3 submitted a detailed and thorough proposal for consulting services to support the development of an optimized strategic plan to meet the objectives of Resolution 9977.
Please request the following technical changes to further clarify the objectives of the Optimized Strategic Plan.
1. Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is included as an option for the Glenarm conversion. RNG is biogas, a carbon neutral resource. Carbon Neutral means balancing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by "offsetting" or removing an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere. Carbon free means no emissions are being produced. Resolution 9977 calls for carbon free electricity.
2. Stakeholder and community engagement should occur more frequently than every two months. Similar to the Integrated Resource Plan's Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group, the proposal should specify that stakeholder and community engagement meetings will be held at least once per month.
3. The Distributed Energy Resource (DER) section of the proposal focuses on historical averages for rooftop solar installation to estimate how many Pasadena property owners would install rooftop solar in the future. This is backward looking. Pasadena's current rooftop solar policies are restrictive and not well understood. A vigorous public education program, more accessible information and permitting, and policy guidance from E3 could increase adoption dramatically among Pasadena's relatively affluent ratepayers as a response to increasing utility rates. More information from PWP should inform low and moderate income ratepayers of potential local, state and federal incentives for installation of rooftop solar. Similar outreach would assist commercial property owners.
4. New pricing strategies should be investigated, such as time of use (TOU) rates.
Thank you for your consideration.

Mayor & City Councilmembers,
The work proposed here is excellent, and can result in a set of realistic plans to achieve the goal of Resolution 9977, 100% carbon free electricity by 2030.
That said, we ask you to consider three minor modifications to the proposal.
1. In the Glenarm Conversion and Replacement Study, and in the New and Emerging Technology Study, Renewable Natural Gas is suggested as one potential resource option. Resolution 9977 calls for carbon free resources, whereas renewable natural gas is not carbon-free. It should be removed from the Scope of Work.
2. We believe that a more frequent opportunity for community input would add significant value to this proposal, and would recommend the creation of a Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group that meets at least once a month.
3. We suggest that the Distributed Energy Resources study take into account how affirmative initiatives, such as public education on existing solar programs and incentives, can increase availability and adoption of rooftop solar and storage resources.
While it is exceptionally important that the City Council accept this Scope of Work with the proposed modifications so that we can develop a realistic plan to achieve our goal, we must at the same time ensure we are not hesitating to take the actions that are necessary to take now, such as the procurement of new PPA agreements.
We urge you to vote in favor of Agenda Item 13 with the proposed modifications.
Thank you,
Sam Berndt
