• ACTION: Commissioner Ulloa made a motion that the Resource Conservation Commission
recommend that the City Council accept the Climate Measures Progress Report
and recommends that the public bonds be available with a public benefit
component if it is strictly a voluntary program. Commissioner Rahimzadeh
seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
2. Energy Infrastructure Update, i.e. South Bay Power Plant
Director Meacham updated the board on the proposed new power plant project. He stated
that he was seeking to know from the board if, from a policy standpoint, this was still the
right direction that they thought we need to go. He then responded to comments and
questions from the board. Chair Stillman voiced concerns about the location being in South
Bay as opposed to elsewhere in the County. After much further discussion, the board
agreed that they needed to revisit this topic before they would be able to make a decision.
The item was postponed until the next meeting. No action was taken.
