MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Meeting Date: 03-21-2019
SB901 has a July 12 deadline. Every single utility will need to have a wildfire mitigation plan, which must be reviewed by a third party. Ms. DeRivi mentioned that we are looking into independent wildfire mitigation plans and that we possibly will be getting an expert from Australia.
Mr. Robledo suggested LA County Fire; however, the requirement states that it must be a third party. Mr.
Wright addressed the disparity of payment between Southern California and Northern California. He emphasized the desire to see a stronger push for not charging our people for the risk of Northern California.
Mr. Wright expressed a desire for a separate line item on the bill, not included in rates. Ms. DeRivi said one of the requests made is to actually put lines on a map to show where the wildfire threats are. Ms. Kerr asked about greenhouse funds; however, Ms. Mmagu said the reason is pet projects.
Mr. Blair has been attending CalFire meetings. They are discussing vegetation management. On of the big pain points is that no one in the state can determine who should be regulating what. PG&E has been at these meetings. The Governor wants to get something going by July 12. • Legislation - July 12 deadline.
Brief conversation ensued. At 9:33am, the Board went into closed session.
