Should the City Council decide to participate in <br />this Community Choice Aggregation Joint Powers Authority for East Bay municipalities, staff <br />recommends that they complete the following actions: <br />1.Adopt the resolution approving the East Bay Community Choice Energy Authority Joint <br />Powers Agreement in order to participate in a Community Choice Aggregation Joint <br />Powers Authority for East Bay municipalities; and <br />2.Conduct a first reading of the ordinance authorizing the implementation of a Community <br />Choice Aggregation Program <br />BACKGROUND <br />This report and recommendation is the culmination of a process that began in 2014 with <br />action by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors (BOS) to investigate the feasibility of <br />establishing a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in Alameda County. This initial <br />work led to the establishment of a Steering Committee consisting of City and stakeholder <br />representatives. Councilmember Lopez is San Leandro’s representative and Councilmember <br />Cox is San Leandro’s alternate representative. The Steering Committee held eleven <br />meetings. It reviewed multiple aspects of establishing a CCA program, including economic <br />feasibility, environmental and local jobs benefits, creation of a joint powers authority <br />agreement, and selecting the name of the authority: East Bay Community Energy (EBCE). On <br />October 4, 2016 the Board of Supervisors became the first agency to adopt the attached <br />resolution. This resolution is now in the process of being presented to each city, several of <br />which have already approved it. <br />To date, the San Leandro City Council was provided with four presentations related to EBCE <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/16/2016
