PUBLIC COMMENTS

Beatriz Hernandez, North Shore, commented about her family’s experience during the recent outage and inquired about assistance for the loss of food and a new generator.

Alicia Julian, North Shore, relayed her family’s experience during the power outage and requested generators, streetlights and better power poles.

Yolanda Cisneros, North Shore, remarked that the community was not prepared for the outage and petitioned for increased streetlighting as the community is very neglected. She also shared her concern about aid distribution as she did not receive notice.

Ed Luna, Mecca, commented that the intensity, urgency and importance of the community’s concerns are not properly translated.

Maria Pozar, North Shore, expressed appreciation for the assistance provided and listed demands, including generators for all North Shore residents, fresh food, funds for devices and new infrastructure that can sustain weather events, equitable gift card distribution and a notice when the power will go up/down.

Guadalupe Ortiz, North Shore, shared her family’s experience with the outage. Her food spoiled and she purchased a generator along with gasoline daily. She expressed her thanks for the water and ice, but they were insufficient.

3

Matthew Maldonado, Comite Civico del Valle, thanked those who coordinated resources for North Shore residents during the outage. Improvements are needed in the community as this is a recurring problem. A long-term action plan is needed and demanded by the community.

Rosio Abeldano, North Shore, mentioned the recurrence of the outages and requested generators as she has students in her home. There is street cleanup, but she complained about the darkness in the area, which results in crime and a child bitten by a dog.

COMMISSIONER & STAFF COMMENTS

Commissioner Jaksh commented about the weather in the area and recommended emergency preparedness, particularly during monsoon season. She also suggested using the North Shore Yacht Club as a community center for meals and charging devices.

Commissioner Mirelez said he took heed of the need for streetlights and generators and mentioned that the tribal government assisted several tribal members who were impacted by the last event. He elaborated that the CVEC will take care of that which is on the utility side, but the other is the responsibility of the County and must be informed.

Commissioner Fernandez thanked the organizations that provided assistance and shared her observations during the emergency response. She said she will make an effort to keep the community informed and recommended the use of social media. The weather cannot be controlled and IID is working on a long-term plan, but the response and the claim process need to be immediate.

Commissioner Balocco said the problems with the poles will not get solved by the timethe storms come again. Because the problem has been repetitive, IID and other agencies need better response plans and communication. With storms, there is notification so that should be put into place.

Commissioner Holmes said the severity of the storms are significant and likely to get worse, but a plan needs to be in place that can be implemented to allow the community be better prepared. That said, consideration must be given to upgrading the infrastructure.

Commissioner Evans expressed appreciation to the members of the community who shared their stories. CVAG requested a presentation by IID about the response to that which happened with the storm. She stressed that CVEC exists to deal with disasters, but also customer service, infrastructure, viability of electricity and to work collectively for solutions.

Commissioner Hernandez thanked the members of the community who attended the meeting and supported their neighbors. Considering the population’s challenges, CVECmust consider preparing them for the storm and determine that which is its responsibility. He suggested a grant program to help residents procure generators or a bulk purchase of generators for loan. Considering the cost of the emergency response, perhaps there is

4

a way to gradually improve the infrastructure. With respect to the Commission, itsauthority is not yet clear.

Chairperson Hamby stated IID has been working with County of Riverside on a joint emergency preparedness plan since last month, which proved valuable during the most recent outage. The Commission will be discussing its goals during the SWOT Analysis, if time permits. These conversations need to happen because there will be much change in the future.

Commissioner Hanks discussed the two recent storms and the impacts due to wind and rain. He assured that IID builds in accord with required standards, but is finding that is not enough. Engineers were looking at strengthening the design as IID rebuilt the lines and while a long-range plan is developed. He shared that meetings are ongoing to determine how to finance the improvements and the impact to rates. He stressed that it is impossible to be fully prepared to meet all emergencies. He commended the line crews who are working in the heat.

Chairperson Hamby shared that an IID town hall hosted with Supervisor V. Manuel Perezabout the outage event in February spurred much of the improvements in response. Although events and issues from each respective area will arise, the focus and ultimate objective of CVEC should be resolving matters for the long-term as quickly as possible.

IID General Manager Henry Martinez discussed the aspects of the infrastructure system and climate. He explained that a private utility is working to minimize forest fires by covering conductor, which translates to a 9 percent rate increase. The issue of capital investment and financing will need to be addressed. The 80-mile “K” Line consists of 1,000 poles that will need replacing or mitigating. As a balancing authority, IID must be careful not to jeopardize its stability in order to maintain reliability for the West Coast.

IID Energy Manager Marilyn Gilbert gave a report on the damage and restoration efforts resulting from the storms of August 30 in North Shore and August 31 in Imperial Valley.

ACTION

1. Approval of CVEC Regular Meeting Minutes of September 9, 2021A motion was made by Commissioner Evans and seconded by Commissioner Mirelezto approve the Coachella Valley Energy Commission Regular Meeting Minutes ofAugust 5, 2021. Motion carried 8-0-1 with Commissioner Balocco abstaining.

INFORMATION

2. Energy Supply Chain BasicsMs. Jamie Asbury, IID Associate Counsel, provided a high-level description of howenergy is delivered to the home via IID’s generation, transmission, and distributionsystems with each component having separate requirements for reporting andregulatory oversight. She also shared IID’s 2019 Power Content Label, which identifiesthe power resources used to serve the electrical load.

5

3. Riverside County Emergency Management Department / Imperial IrrigationDistrict Joint Emergency Preparedness Plan UpdateMs. Marilyn Gilbert, IID Energy Manager, provided an overview of the August stormsystem damage, which involved the loss of generation and 148 distribution andtransmission poles, impacting 9,190 customers. The restoration effort included 93 staffmembers and more than 100 outside crew members. She thanked the numerousagencies that helped provide aid to affected customers.

Mr. Dan DeVoy, IID Manager of Human Resources, reported that IID is working withRiverside County’s Emergency Management Department to develop a joint responseplan for outages and outlined the procedures that were implemented following theAugust storm events. He thanked the Riverside County Office of EmergencyManagement for the joint response plan provided just days before the event.

Mr. Eric Cadden, Supervisor, Emergency Management Program, County of Riverside,articulated that the County reviewed IID’s emergency response plan and providedcomments. He also described Riverside County’s coordination with IID during the four-day power outage and advised that the event was a small disaster compared to theone back east. He warned that the community will be without services for a long timewhen a catastrophic event happens because initial resources will go to denselypopulated areas, such as Los Angeles and Orange counties; therefore, preparednesswill be important and recommended Listos [California] and CERT (CommunityEmergency Response Team training).

Commissioner Hernandez inquired about the cleanup services offered following thestorm. Mr. Cadden referenced Team Rubicon, a volunteer organization, whichprovided debris management and cleanup. Neither the county nor the state havemoneys for damage repair on private property.

Chairperson Hamby asked about the next steps. Mr. DeVoy advised that the recentevent will allow staff to see how the emergency plan aligns with recent experience andstaff will be finalizing the joint response plan in the next month to share with theCommission. Mr. Cadden added that they will be conducting an “after action”evaluation and working with the community to give public education classes onpreparedness. Storms will continue to happen and Riverside County ranks No. 10 inthe nation for wildfires.

Chairperson Hamby commented that there has been considerable improvement incommunication between the two agencies in the last two Mecca-North Shore outageevents, which has served the community well.

4. Commissioner S.W.O.T. AnalysisMs. Phyllis Currie, Hometown Connections, introduced herself and shared herextensive background in city government and the utility business and is currentlyconsulting for Hometown Connections. She is also Chair of Midcontinent Independent

6

System Operator, which serves the transmission needs of 15 states and Manitoba, Canada.

Ms. Currie began by asking the Commissioners about the focus for the SWOT Analysis and suggested the existing and future relationship and services with/of IID:

Chairperson Jaksch said she would like more time to review her notes then provide input.

Commissioner Mirelez mentioned that the CVEC needs to define the existing relationship between IID and the community and factor in those concerns in the new relationship. Also, determine how community involvement of the unincorporated areas will impact the decision for the new plan and its goals.

Commissioner Fernandez inquired about the responsibilities of the California Public Utilities Commission and the IID.

Commissioner Hanks expressed there are two separate valleys in which the 99-year agreement occurred, but things have changed. There must be a balance between making decisions and assuming liability.

Chairperson Hamby expressed that IID’s service over the last 87 years in the Coachella Valley has been excellent. As the terminus of the 99-year lease approaches, it is clear the relationship between IID and its stakeholders will be different. It will be necessary to address Coachella Valley’s needs that have been expressed repeatedly while preserving the interests of Imperial Valley residents. The sub-issues are the outage events, policy differences, which are embedded into issues of growth, representation and the preservation of Imperial Valley’s water and low electrical rates.

Commissioner Balocco said the evaluation of manpower and response time; in other words, having enough trained people to respond is a critical element in an emergency. System reliability vs. raising rates.

Commissioner Holmes stated the CVEC must look beyond the 99-year lease andupgrade service. The nexus of reliability vs. raising rates needs to be weighed todetermine how to pay for upgraded services. She also asked how the CPUC is involved.

Commissioner Evans said the focus is to determine a long-term strategic plan for continued service to the Coachella Valley beyond the 99-year term. Residents are happy with and want to keep the lower rate structure. The weaknesses are not having representation, the constant focus on water rights. She raised questions regarding the budget and the cost allocation of shared staff. The threats are potential higher rates, service and infrastructure issues, reliability and time. The

7

opportunities are collaboration in seeking solutions. Her focus will be energy as La Quinta is happy with its water service.

Commissioner Hernandez expressed that the basic core is energy delivery and reliability for the Coachella Valley. Imperial County has the IID for 1,000 years and five duly elected board members, which is not necessarily the case for the Coachella Valley yet it makes up a large portion of the customer base for IID. The Coachella Valley has a marriage with IID, but it is unknown whether it will divorce.

Ms. Currie recommended that more time be dedicated to discussing the issues in the future. She summarized that she clearly heard that emergency preparedness and response is an issue for IID, the County and the community, which is a continual issue to review and improve. She also heard the questions about the role of the CPUC vs.IID, reliability, growth, jobs, energy and not water being the focus. CVEC should look at various models for energy service.

Commissioner Hernandez voiced that the SWOT analysis is an important process that needs to be thorough often occurring over multiple days. An implementation document will require a two or three-day dive.

Commissioner Hanks said the group discussed the fundamentals of the Energy Department and need to dive in using the facilitator for the SWOT and the options available to both communities. He expressed that IID can be in the energy business because it is an irrigation district; if it is moved outside of the irrigation district, the IIDwill not be nor can be part of it and has looked at that option for 50 years.

5. SELECTION OF AT-LARGE MEMBERS AND OFFICERSChairperson Hamby stated one additional at-large member was requested at the lastmeeting and the change was incorporated into the bylaws. The three at-large memberswill be designated for the cities, the tribal nations, and for unincorporated Riversideand Imperial counties. Currently there are nine members and the new total will be 12.The vice chairpersons will be elected with one from the cities and the other from thetribes and unincorporated areas. Applications for the at-large positions are on the IIDwebsite and must be submitted by October 5 for incorporation into the agenda so theCommission may make the decisions.

Commissioner Evans inquired whether applicants are required to be at the nextmeeting for a two- to three-minute self-introduction and questions.

Commissioner Evans asked whether the applicants would need to be ratified by theIID board. Chairperson Hamby indicated that was not the intent going forward; thepurpose is to get direct input from the people of the Coachella Valley and allow that tobe carried out in order to carry out the purposes of the Commission.

Commissioner Hernandez recommended translators. Chairperson Hamby stated IIDwould be working on translation for future meetings. Commissioner Fernandez

8

mentioned she knows of several interpreting agencies. She appreciated the volunteers who interpreted, but there should be a certified interpreter.

FUTURE MEETING PLANNINGChairperson Hamby relayed that staff had looked at five venues for the meeting, but they all fell through and gave the members the option of holding the meeting elsewhere or at IID. A consensus was reached to host meetings at the IID Boardroom in La Quinta and offsite as needed or desired.

Chairperson Hamby allowed additional members of the public to comment:

Bea Gonzalez, Indio, thanked the members on the dais and Ms. Gilbert, Mr. Martinez and Chairperson Hamby. She asked how IID would remedy the recent outage as she is hearing about community preparedness, but that will not prevent the events from reoccurring.

Beverli Marshall, General Manager, Valley Water Sanitary District, which provides water for Indio and portions of Coachella and La Quinta. She is interested in serving on the Commission and she communicated her reasons and qualifications for service.

Mariela Loera, Leadership Council for Justice and Accountability, emphasized the need for translation given the large group of people who were present that needed translation. She also commented on crime and the lack of streetlighting.

Luis Olmedo, Executive Director of Comite Civico del Valle, talked about the serious environmental challenges and other issues with the disadvantaged community. There is an opportunity to give a seat to a disadvantaged community or environmental justice representative, but he did not think IID would do it as it would disrupt the status quo. IID defends its water for the industry. He advocated for fairness, equity and justice.

ADJOURNMENTThere being no further business, Commissioner Balocco moved and Commissioner Evans seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:28 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
