PWP RECEIVES NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP") recently received the American Public Power Association ("APPA") E.F. Scattergood System Achievement Award. The award honors APPA member systems that have enhanced the prestige of public power utilities through sustained achievement and customer service. Pasadena's more than 135,000 residents and businesses benefit from having a community-owned utility that focuses on the direct needs of its customers. PWP received this award for its ongoing work in advancing transportation electrification within the Pasadena community.

In August 2018, PWP launched its transportation electrification initiative Power Up Pasadena. Since then, the electric vehicle ("EV") program has expanded to include a number of citywide programs and efforts, resulting in PWP's customers having the highest percentage of EVs than any other Southern California electric utility. Power Up Pasadena introduced EV rebates and incentives for both residential and commercial customers, which provides larger incentives for residents who are income-qualified; as well as providing support for organizations who install public EV chargers within the Disadvantaged Community area. In total, Pasadena customers can now receive up to $1,500 in rebates for the purchase or lease of a new or used EV. For residents interested in installing an EV charger as well, rebates are available for up to $600. Additionally, commercial customers can receive up to $50,000 in rebates for installing EV chargers at their business.

The Power Up Pasadena initiative moved into the national spotlight when PWP partnered with Tesla to launch the largest public EV fast-charging station in the nation. The Marengo Charging Plaza opened in December 2019 and features 44 EV Fast Chargers. Pasadena is focused on improving the quality of life for its community by helping citizens, businesses and visitors alike in the larger goal to preserve natural

resources. The City has committed to procuring 60% of its power needs from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and small hydroelectric by 2030 and is well on its way to meeting this sustainable goal.

Laura Cornejo, Director of Transportatio~ TIBA PARCS Equipment Installation Completed

Over the last several months, staff has worked closely with TISA to install and transition the City's garages to a new parking access and revenue control system (PARCS) for the Paseo Subterranean, Marengo, Los Robles, Holly Street, Del Mar Station , Schoolhouse, Delacey and Marriott garages. Installation is now complete, and all eight garages are live with the new PARCS system.

The equipment was manufactured over the summer of 2019, and DOT staff visited the factory to complete the factory acceptance test in September of 2019. Installation of the new equipment began in November of 2019 in the Paseo Colorado garage. Remaining garages were subsequently brought online with the Marriott garage coming online last week.

The new equipment will allow the City to better track parking statistics and allow for reporting and auditing of the operations at all eight garages. Additionally, the system utilizes current technologies that will help facilitate vehicles to leave the garages more quickly during high volume events. For example, users who are monthly parkers or who pay for their parking session at a "pay-on-foot" machine prior to exiting the garage, will have the system read their license plate and open the gate automatically when they exit the garage.

The new systems expected lifespan is approximately 10 years. The City has purchased an extended warranty to ensure that the system is properly maintained.

Attached are photos of some of the new equipment. If you need additional information or have any questions, please contact Jon Hamblen , Parking Manager at (626) 774-7463 or at jhamblen@cityofpasadena.net.

Caltrans Announces Slurry Seal Project on 1-210 in Foothill Communities

PASADENA, LA CRESCENTA- The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announces a construction project to slurry seal on and off-ramps on Interstate 210 (1-210) in the Foothill communities of Pasadena, La Canada Flintridge, and La Crescenta.

The project spans just over seven miles from Lowell Ave on the Los Angeles/Glendale border to Arroyo Blvd in Pasadena. Workers will be repairing distressed pavement and applying slurry seal to 30 on and off-ramps and five auxiliary lanes to increase pavement life and provide a smooth ride.

Construction is scheduled to start the first week of August and continue until late 2020. Ramp closures associated with the project will occur mostly overnight 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Some lanes may be closed to facilitate a safe work zone for workers and motorists. Residents and businesses located near the freeway are advised to anticipate noise, vibrations, and dust associated with construction activities.

Granite Construction is the contractor on this $3.1 million project, which is anticipated to be completed in fall/winter of 2020.

Closures are weather-permitting and subject to change. Motorists should expect delays and are advised to avoid the area and use alternate routes. Additionally, motorists can view current traffic closures before leave for their destination by visiting the Caltrans Quickmap.

Caltrans reminds motorists to "Be Work Zone Alert" and "Slow for the Cone Zone."

Honorable Jerry Hill Chair, Standing Committee on Labor, Public Employment and Retirement California State Senate 1020 N Street, Room 545 Sacramento, CA 95814

RE: Notice of Opposition City of Pasadena -AB 2473 (Cooper)- Public Investment Funds

Dear Senator Hill :

The City of Pasadena (City) opposes AB 24 73 that would exclude from public disclosure high-risk investments through private loans of public investment funds.

AB 2473, a bill proposed by CalPERS staff to exempt a new category, "private loan", from the California Public Records Act (CPRA, G.C. 6250 and following). While the City applauds CalPERS staff for seeking out innovative investment strategies through which they might safely boost returns in order to protect the members from contribution increases, we are strongly opposed to the current language. AB 2473, as currently written, goes beyond exempting from CPRA the private business records necessary for negotiations and the deliberative process, and over-broadly exempts the "private loan" agreement itself from CPRA, including the parties, tenns collateral and performance of any such loan, after it has been funded and becomes an asset held in public trust. ·

The City agrees with the author that negotiations of "private loan" investments by CalPERS staff and the decision-making process should remain private, as current law provides. Although the "private loans" proposed by CalPERS are a new high-risk/high-return investment strategy, which should be carefully scrutinized by the Cal PERS Board, th~ wisdom of such a strategy is a matter within the Board 's discretion subject to their constitutionally-mandated fiduciary duty to the members and beneficiaries. The negotiation of such agreements, including underwriting and due diligence materials, are appropriate for exemption from CPRA for a variety of purposes with are in the public interest, particularly to assure potential borrowers from business disadvantages related to disclosure of their financial condition, and in order to prevent "front-running" of plan strategies by outside parties.

However, the terms and parties to any loan of funds held in public trust, once executed, are matters necessary for members of the public to assess whether Cal PERS staff and the

AB 2473 (Cooper): Oppose - Public Employment and Retirement July 23, 2020 Page 2

Cal PERS Board are acting in the best interests of taxpayers, the members, and the beneficiaries. Any entity seeking investment of funds held in trust for the publ ic must be willing to subject themselves to a certain level of scrutiny that they would not necessarily face in the private market. In the current low- or no-return investment environment, there is a strong temptation to make deals which might not be in the best interest of the public. Secret investments of publ ic trust funds are never in the public 's interest.

Because it is necessary for the public to understand whether the terms of the proposed private loans are prudent risks, the loan agreements and documents, the personal or business identifying information disclosing the identities and the constituent owners of the borrower, and materials relating to collateral pledged must not be exempted from the CPRA, but only after negotiations. Only then may the public, the members and beneficiaries independently determine whether CalPERS staff have negotiated a good deal and whether the Cal PERS Board are acting as sound fiduciaries.

It is evident from the Legislative Counsel ' s Bill Summary that the dangers inherent in granting the sweeping post-negotiation secrecy contained in the bill as written is poorly understood. In 1994 Orange County, California fi led for bankruptcy due to investment malfeasance by the County Treasurer who was sentenced to county jail. As recently as May of 2016, the former Chief Executive Officer of CalPERS was sentenced to 54 months in federal prison for malfeasance during his tenure at CalPERS and in February of2015 a former CalPERS Board member implicated in the case committed suicide rather than face trial. The plan can only win back public trust through greater transparency, not less.

It is the sincere hope of the City that many, if not all, of the stakeholders will agree that the te1ms, parties, collateral, and perfo1mance of any private loan made by Ca!PERS, once negotiated and executed, will remain subject to public scrutiny under the CPRA. For the reasons stated above, the City of Pasadena respectfully requests a NO vote on AB 24 73 when it comes before the Committee. If you have any questions regarding our concerns and position, please contact Matthew Hawkesworth, Director of Finance, at 626-744-4350 or rnhawkesworth@ci tyo fpasadena.net.

The Honorable Ben Hueso Chair, Senate Committee on Energy, Uti lities and Communications State Capitol, Room 4035 Sacramento, CA 95814

RE: AB 1720 (Carrillo) Energy: long-duration energy storage: environmental review and procurement - OPPOSE

Dear Chair Hueso:

On behalf of the City of Pasadena, I write to respectfully oppose AB 1720 (Carrillo) as amended July 27, 2020. While long-duration energy storage plays an impo11ant role in California's energy future, the bill wou ld largely profit one developer of a project with a price tag in the b illions (NextEra's Eagle Mountain Pumped Storage Project) at the cost of California ratepayers. Although AB 1720 may appear to exempt loca l publicly owned utilities ("POUs"), like the City of Pasadena, the complex provisions would skew the California Independent System Operator market ("CAISO") and inappropriately task the state's Department of Water Resources (" DWR") with new power procurement responsibilities. Fmther, the bill wou ld lead to detrimental ratepayer impacts at a time when many families are experiencing unpreceded financial strain due to the COVID-19 public health crisis.

Under AB 1720, if the California Public Uti lities Commission ("CPUC") fails to order its jurisdictional entities to procure long-duration energy storage projects, DWR must undertake the procurement on their behalf. We strongly believe that it is an alarming redirection of this public agency's purpose for DWR to undertake this role. As the bill's Legis lative Counsel Digest states, the CPUC already has existing storage mandates in place.

DWR is not an energy procurement agency. Its primary mission is to manage the state's water resources, systems and infrastructure, including the State Water Project, which provides water to 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland. DWR shou ld not be in the business of procuring electric ity for California's electric customers.

Pasadena recognizes that DWR was directed to procure energy during the 2001 energy crisis. However, the department only did so for a short time and the process was mired by litigation, costly start-up expenses, and ultimately saddled Californ ia utilities and ratepayers with over­priced energy contracts for years. DWR does not have the expertise to engage in such broad energy procurement activit ies that extend beyond what is needed to support the ir mission. The procurement responsibility in AB 1720 should remain solely with the CPUC.

July 28, 2020 AB 1720 - Oppose Page 2 of2

In add ition to strong concerns w ith the DWR provis ions, AB 1720 is problematic in other areas. The b ill improperly directs the California Energy Commiss ion ("CEC") to cons ider measures to advance long-duration energy storage projects. T his is unnecessary s ince POUs already procure adequate energy resources through state-required power integrated resource plans, which must consider energy storage needs.

While AB 1720 gives POUs and the CAJSO the option to procure a project' s power, it does not specify how the CAISO wou ld pass on costs to participating utilities . Pasadena has been a CAISO member since 1999. The bill should stipulate that CA ISO can not pass through costs to POUs and their ratepayers.

It is impo1tant to note that long-duration energy storage is not considered a renewable resource under California's Renewables Portfolio Standard. As a result, the bill could lead to over-procurement of energy that is not renewable under Ca lifornia law. In Pasadena 's 2018 power integrated resource plan, the C ity committed to securing all future long-term contracts from renewab le resources, which does not inc lude long-duration energy storage like pumped hydro.

Introduction of such an enormous non-renewable resource and legislatively forced purchase of its power would have to be sold through the CAlSO market, which wi ll adverse ly affect long-term investments in renewable resources made by Pasadena and other POUs. While electric uti lities in California including Pasadena are restructuring their energy portfolios to become near I 00% renewab le and carbon free, this resource w ill provide unneeded non-renewable energy to the detriment of the new renewable energy projects

AB 1720 proposes a new, complex and costly procurement process at time when the Legis lature has a reduced ability to faci litate a robust public dialogue due to pandemic. The bill would have a decades­long impact on California energy policy, operations, and costs, and it deserves sufficient scrutiny to ensure California ratepayers are not adversely impacted in the midst of an economic crisis.

For these reasons, the City of Pasadena respectfully opposes AB 1720. If you have any questions regarding our position, please contact Jennifer Guess at (626) 744-4434 or jguess@cityofpasadena.net.

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

July 30, 2020

As you and your colleagues work to negotiate legislat ion to provide additional COVID-19 related relief, I want to thank you on behalf of the City of Pasadena fo r you r strong support in providing flexib le resources for communities of all sizes in this next measure.

We are grateful you realize that the dire financ ial straits that virtually every locality in the nation are experiencing are in fact real and not based on any desire to cover up prior financial mismanagement. In Pasadena, we have been able to use reserves and the revenues from a recently-approved local ballot measure to prevent mass layoffs and continue vital serv ices. However, the fallout from these actions has deferred, or possibly cancelled action on important capital projects, and future cuts to services and staffing, as the negative impacts of the pandemic continue into the coming years.

The recent cancellation of the Tournament of Roses Parade for the first t ime since World War 11 is certain to have major impacts on Pasadena and the entire region's economy. We know we are not a lone in predicting a slow return to normal with regard to the sales and hotel tax revenues that make up a significant part of our budget. Beyond those sales tax revenues, our General Fund has assumed many of the obligations of the City-owned Rose Bowl Stadium and Convention Center, as revenues from events that normally service that debt have dried up.

We hope that you will continue to insist on state and local relief in this next COVID-1 9 package. Again, we are appreciative of yo ur ro le as a champion fo r local governments of all sizes as we seek to maintain important services to our residents during th is unprecedented t ime. Please let us know, if we can provide additional information on how the pandemic has impacted our community and finances.

Class 5 consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. Class 8 consists of action taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state and local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment.
