D. 1. PRESENTATION BY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON ( SCE), SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS

Introduction - Diane Forte, Government Relations Manager SCE Summary and Customer Assistance Lorene Miller, VP Customer Service SCE Rate History and Bill Analysis - Rob Thomas, Director Pricing Design & Research SCE Discuss key drivers of higher energy bills and assistance available to customers Lorene Miller, VP Customer Service, discussed the following:
Summary
Rob Thomas, Director Pricing Design and Research SCE, Discussed the following:
Recent Rate History and Bill Analysis Redondo Beach Electricity Usage and Billing Patterns January 2020- January 2022 Redondo Beach Average Usage and Bills January 2020- January 2022 Average Monthly Usage - Redondo Beach and System ( All Cities) Average Usage and Bills comparing January 2021 to January 2022 - Redondo Beach and System ( All Cities)
Customer Rate Options and Assistance
Customer Assistance
Customer Rate Options
Ms. Miller discussed customer rate options.
In response to Councilmember Obagi, Mr. Thomas explained that the rate adjustments in January, October and earlier in 2021 were not related to this program. Mr. Thomas also explained the pricing setup and noted there is an EV rate option called Prime that has a super off peak period. He further explained that the utilities are not against solar, and the issue is that solar is exported onto the grid at a value that is set at retail at approximately 25 cent/kw hour. He also explained that as the higher price energy is exported onto the grid, other customers pay for this energy at the retail rate.
Councilmember Loewenstein asked about the summer and winter low trackers versus the typical average look factor. Mr. Thomas stated rates are paid the same across the system but the bills are different which is the function of the rate and usage. From an average monthly bill when combining the rate and usage, the City of Redondo is comparable to the system.
In response to Mayor Brand, Ms. Miller stated there is 50,000 square miles over 200 jurisdictions.
Faviola Ochoa, Public Affairs Manager SoCalGas, discussed the following:

In response to Councilmember Obagi, Ted Bardacke stated the CPA rate increases would only be for electricity, not gas.
Mayor Brand stated this is confusing to the residents with rates skyrocketing, and supported a more simplified explanation.
Ms. Forte offered a partnership with the CPA with a virtual meeting with further discussions and explanations.
Councilmember Loewenstein shared a presentation to the three agencies:
Surge in electricity bills
History
Edison - profits and stocks
Comparable companies
August 2021 - increase in rates
Usage has skyrocketed
Off peak rates
On peak rates
CPA customer rates
December 2021 City went to 100% renewables
Rates were not going to go up but they did - never mentioned that the rates would go up Reviewed his own house usage and rates - rates have gone way up at more than 50% Reviewed other homes usage and costs
Usage highest in his house overnight showed on his bill December only a little bit colder
Reviewed customer comments on social media
Played a video regarding a senior citizen and her bill increase What happens to customers on autopay
Councilmember Loewenstein had the following questions: Why is usage up 50 to 400% when the average temperatures went down just 6 degrees. Why did the CPA rates double before going to 100% renewables.
What about the usage patterns overnight and/ or when no one is at home. Why is Edison raising rates on senior citizens and at the same time why people are getting bonuses.
Ted Bardacke, Clean Power Alliance ( CPA), stated the TOUD prime rate did not change from December to January and the previous TOUD prime rate was discontinued for all Edison and CPA customers because it was not covering its cost.
MINUTES— CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Councilmember Loewenstein stated this had the effect of going up which should have been mentioned when presenting to Council in December, noting almost an 100% increase in rates.
Mr. Bardacke apologized that this increase happened to some people.
Commissioner Obagi said that Councilmember Nehrenheim abstained from the vote to join the CPA at 100%.
Councilmember Obagi asked about the jump by joining the CPA. Mr. Bardacke stated the rate changes were the same for Edison and Clean Power Alliance. He said the amount of people affected were less than 10%.
In response to Councilmember Loewenstein regarding going from 11 cents to 22 cents by dropping the rate, Mr. Bardacke reviewed the power crisis during those times and being quite expensive.
Councilmember Obagi stated what is lacking is education to the residents about off peak and non- peak use before getting switched over to the system.
Robert Thomas, SCE, supported outreach and education and partnering with CPA for clarification. He said the bill comparison was of two different rate plans and Prime was introduced with the super off peak period being in the middle of the day. He also reviewed the differences in rates and peak periods, usage patterns, and the use of radiant heat which is very expensive and noted other systems which are much more manageable. He also said the highest usage is 4 to 9, and stated SCE is on a path to 100% green and offers 100% green and 50% green through the GPSR rates.
Lorene Miller, SCE, explained that when customers receive their bill and are on autopay, the debit occurs ten days after the bill is issued and if there is a large amount, an installment plan/ extension could be set up for the customer.
Councilmember Loewenstein questioned using 400% more energy by using radiant heat, and he expressed concern with the number of people being upset. He expressed concern with the usage patterns not doing anything differently and yet their bill doubling or tripling. He said his usage went up 50% with the same number of people in the household. He also expressed concern with seniors having to turn down their heat to pay for wildfire mitigation and SCE not investing in deferred maintenance to keep the stock price up. He also said the City has an extra $ 185K to account for more electricity and the City is not using anymore electricity than before.
Councilmember Nehrenheim questioned a home being 100% electric which he did not support. He asked Mr. Bardacke about the rates going up and said rates went up July 2021 and rates will go down by 80% in August. He said his bill has gone up 37% increase in the last three years and yet used 20% less electricity.
In response to Councilmember Nehrenheim, Asia Powell, Local Government and Community Liaison of CPUC, stated the electric utilities go through a general rate pace every three years presenting their proposals for rate increases and the judge makes the best decision for the benefit of the public.
Councilmember Nehrenheim asked about any rates being denied on increases. Ms. Powell said the Public Advocate' s Office usually does a thorough job of scrutinizing the rates and makes their own recommendation but was uncertain what has been denied.
Councilmember Nehrenheim supported 100% green electric energy and not using SCE or CPA and supported using a third party. He also supported multiple selections of power providers and individual choices for individual homes.
Mayor Brand said there are people almost completely off the grid through their own individual solar systems and battery storage and getting very small electric bills.
MINUTES— CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Councilmember Horvath reminded that CPA is community choice aggregation and residents have a choice to participate, go 100% green or go down to 35%, and the electricity generation is a nonprofit and benefits will come back to the residents. He said profits of SCE go to shareholders and noted rates continue to go up from distribution and transmission charges. He said his house is colder in the winter and hotter in the summer than outside and there are disadvantages to using electric heat. He noted smart meters which could be misread or misused with technology, and supported the advocacy to the CPUC.
Mayor Brand also said operating a 70- year old power plant is not an efficient way to generate electricity with the rates going up 25 times during peak times.
Councilmember Loewenstein said the rates are going up double and believed the CPUC is not on our side.
Diane Forte stated she looks at the bills and meters and suggested usage can be checked by looking at January 2021 versus January 2022 and for most people, on average, the bill is the same.
Mayor Brand called for public comment via Zoom and eComment.
Eugene Solomon supported open and public hearings available for input, noted in 2021 SCE spent almost
1. 9M lobbying the CPUC, and said the residents were automatically opted to the CPA, and it was difficult to opt out.
Mayor Brand expressed concern with this item being presented on the agenda as an announcement/ presentation item and should be a discussion item.
Chief Deputy City Clerk Vickie Kroneberger read the comments submitted via eComment by:
Donna Pattillo, Susan Leighton, Muna Shikaki, Sandi Monda, Amy Santa Cruz, Barb Clark, Joseph Schwar, Mark Nelson, Candace Nafissi, Lezlie Campeggi and Maricela Guillermo.

Motion by Councilmember Horvath, seconded by Councilmember Obagi, to open the Public Hearing.
Hearing no objections, Mayor Brand so ordered.
Senior Management Analyst Jesse Reyes gave a report and discussed the following:
Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locations
o Locations
Proposed Modifications to Master Fee Schedule Exhibits
Recommendation
Councilmember Loewenstein noted solar power that stores solar into batteries connecting 6 to 8 electric vehicles which can be used throughout the City with grant money.
Councilmember Nehrenheim asked about cost recovery. Senior Management Analyst Jesse Reyes stated the fees will be charged to the users and the costs will be monitored on an annual basis and adjusted during budget adoption.
In response to Councilmember Nehrenheim, Senior Management Analyst Reyes explained the electric vehicle charging fees at $ 0. 30 per kWh - level 2 charger, $ 0.40 per kWh - DC Fast Charger and $ 1. 50 per hour- overstay fee after 4 hours. Councilmember Nehrenheim suggested charging $ 1. 50/hour per parking spot while the vehicles are charging. He expressed concern with a car parking and not charged and suggested including the per hour charge fee of parking as well for the Riviera Village.
Councilmember Nehrenheim asked if there are any charging stations for electric bicycles. Senior Management Analyst Reyes state these proposed are only vehicle charging capabilities.
In response to Mayor Brand, Senior Management Analyst Reyes stated the way the system is designed now, a person could do a small charge and then remain in place for four hours before the overage charge kicks in.
MINUTES- CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Councilmember Obagi asked if there can be different rates at the Riviera compared to the North Redondo Library. Senior Management Analyst Reyes stated the way the Ordinance is written, there' s a standard rate across the board.
Councilmember Obagi suggested the parking spots be designed so that people can drive in straight, pulling in forward or backward. He also suggested marking the service by painting the spots different colors. Public Work Director Semaan stated he will review charging access and locations. Senior Management Analyst Reyes also said the charging is back on and is functioning.
Councilmember Loewenstein stated that oil and gas receive many subsidies, suggested a compromise regarding ticketing and charging, and agreed that ten minutes is a bad subsidy and is taking a spot for people that can be using it for actual charging.
Councilmember Emdee concurred not charging in the North and agreed people would just park in the spots without charging. She also supported differentiating between spaces that don' t normally charge anyway.
Mayor Brand said the future is going to be electric cars and suggested thinking ahead and adding more electric stations in shopping lots and not charging for free.
Councilmember Nehrenheim supported incentivizing even more so people on bicycles and more and more electric spots will continue to be added. He also did not support giving away free parking with the possibility of it being misused and supported charging the hourly fee.
Councilmember Horvath agreed with not charging if charge points in a public lot are not being charged and not charging additional money for parking, except for street parking that have meters already. He also suggested separating out the Riviera Village from the others.
Public Works Director Semaan supported these locations being recycled for other users to come in which is why the four hour maximum was included.
In response to Councilmember Loewenstein, Public Works Director Semaan stated staff can tell from the charge point whether it is actively charging or not. He also said as this is monitored, to consider a meter as well as an electric vehicle charging location in the Riviera Village.
In response to Councilmember Loewenstein regarding the cost to charge a typical electric car for an hour, Senior Management Analyst Reyes said it would depend on the size of the battery.
Councilmember Emdee stated she supported the 4- hour timeframe in the Ordinance but said she didn' t want to start charging people$ 1. 50 an hour at the PAC when no one else is being charged parking.
City Attorney Webb said the Council already approved for first reading the Ordinance and this item is just the Master Fee Schedule. He said changes in the Ordinance can' t be addressed and any motion would be only toward this item ( Master Fee Schedule).
City Manager Witzansky referred to the rate schedule which lists the rates and asked if an additional fee would be added where a parking meter is assigned to the space. He said it would only apply if the parking meter is installed at the same spot.
Mayor Brand suggested just putting the parking meter back.
Councilmember Obagi did not support double charging at a spot and asked if a different rate can be set for the chargers in the Riviera.
MINUTES— CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
City Manager Witzansky suggested setting the charge point rates at different rates and different locations.

MINUTES— CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Councilmember Loewenstein asked about energy costs of$ 185K. City Manager Witzansky responded that this goes back to 2021- 22 and the bill hasn' t been adjusted.
Councilmember Loewenstein asked about the right turn lane at Yacht Club Way. Public Works Director Semaan stated that this project is starting tomorrow.
Councilmember Loewenstein suggested the City facilities in terms of the bonds should go towards things the public can enjoy.
In response to Councilmember Nehrenheim regarding receiving any covid funds, City Manager Witzansky stated there is nothing available this year, the City received some direct disaster relief.
Councilmember Nehrenheim asked about the Fire Department Report, public safety and pushing things aside that shouldn' t be put aside. He noted a lot of issues for the Fire Department. He also suggested keeping money in the Decision Packages low and not putting money away on projects until there is a better sense of knowing the status of the City. City Manager Witzansky said there is very little in recommendations that adjust long term staffing costs and said it makes more sense to contemplate changes, setting $ 13M aside and to think things through. He also said there are very few ongoing changes to the budget right now.
In response to Councilmember Nehrenheim regarding the Budget and Finance Commission' s review, City Manager Witzansky stated they received the documents Thursday night without a lot of time to digest it.

Mayor Brand called for public comment via Zoom and eComment.
Eugene Solomon, Budget and Finance Commission, stated the Commission sent a letter asking to delay action, noting there are a lot of large numbers without information to make decisions. He believed that the 170K for credit card charges is excessive, and roles and responsibilities need to get cleaned up. He referred to the attorney fees for additional outside counsel and believed it is appropriate the $ 50K be part of the decision packages. He also suggested being cautious with the $ 9M bond proceeds.
Lina Portolese, RBPSA, thanked the City Manager and Council for considering their Blue Folder item, reviewed her concerns and supported Decision Packages 6, 19 and 20.

Councilmember Emdee suggested putting back in the budget items that weren't considered last round such as the pickleball item and to set aside money and put in the $ 600K. She also suggested upping the budget to $ 200K for the traffic calming, and supported opportunities to connect bike lanes.
Councilmember Obagi supported approving Decision Packages 6, 19 and 20.
Councilmember Horvath supported all Decision Packages and agreed with holding off on assigning monies but to look into things not done back in June such as deferred maintenance for roads and projects that have infrastructure related already in the CIP, pickleball, Dominguez Park and erosion on the slopes at $ 200K.

Councilmember Nehrenheim noted that the Budget and Finance Commission have not looked at the Decision Packages yet and did not approve putting money towards other items yet.
Councilmember Loewenstein supported pickle ball but there is no report yet and did not want to allocate any money until we know the cost. He also asked about the plan for Dow Johnston and$ 200K for COVID testing Response Reports. City Manager Witzansky explained that Fire has preemptive testing requirements before entering, the$ 200K goes back to July, and increased energy costs are a full FY expense.
Councilmember Emdee pointed out that the Dow Johnston project was done back in 2017 and is in traffic calming, and more funding is needed. She also said a pickleball report is going through Rec and Parks and will come back to Council. She said these are expenses to present to the residents to see and supported putting money on resident focused projects, and also supported focusing on employees.
Councilmember Obagi asked about more CIP projects being done. City Manager Witzansky explained that more engineering staff is needed, and the City has on call contractors helping all the time but their work has to be reviewed first.
Mayor Brand supported getting done first what has been slated but noted projects take a long time to complete such as the skatepark which started with discussions five years ago.
Councilmember Obagi suggested seeing a rendering of Perry Park which would be helpful.
Public Works Director Semaan reviewed the Dow Johnston project and said there is enough money to cover it and there is an opportunity with the annual budget to make appropriations.
