Subject: Valley Park proposals
Dear Community Representatives,
Please accept this letter as my formal opposition to the proposed plans to pave over portions of
Valley Park. Unfortunately, I am out of the country with my family for the next few weeks and I
am unable to attend the upcoming meetings on these issues. Nevertheless, I would like my voice
heard and I would prefer consideration of the options that impact the park the least.
I have been a resident of north Hermosa Beach for over 18 years. I use Valley Park and
specifically the grass field almost daily, as do many of my neighbors. I walk my dog around the
park, my wife gets together with other new mothers and their children to excersise. We also take
our 4 month old son to play on the field and all other areas of the park. As my son grows, so will
our use and enjoyment of the entire park.
Valley Park is a wonderful resource and has proven to be an invaluable location to meet and
connect with many of our neighbors. The park is an integral factor is helping us build a tight knit
community.
Please do not approve any plan that will impair our ability to nurture these relationships and
improve this wonderful community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
JON

Discovery Channel Fin Fest Parking Plan Update
When the Fin Fest event was presented to Council, Discovery Channel
requested to use all of Parking Lot A on August 9 & 10, instead of just the
40 spaces normally allotted to the summer concert producer on August
10. As this request raised concerns about available parking for a sizeable
event during a busy summer weekend, the Council requested a future
pre-event update regarding the parking plan.
Since then, Discovery Channel has modified their request for parking
spaces in Lot A. They now wish to “return” 50 of the spaces Council had
approved, and only use about 60 spaces on the west side of the Lot in the
same manner as the summer concerts. They also have made a written
request to the school district and plan to offer additional parking at Valley
School. In addition, they are working with the summer concerts on locating
a bike valet at the event in a manner similar to other events. Please see
the attached map which outlines their planned usage of Lot A.
FISCAL IMPACT
Event fees are assessed according to impact and vary depending upon
the event.

STATUS REPORT ON E&B’S PROPOSED OIL DRILLING AND PRODUCTION
PROJECT AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO SUBCOMMITTEE REGARDING
NEGOTIATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Recommended Action:
That the City Council receive and file this report. The Council may also wish to give its
subcommittee direction pertaining to negotiation points of the Development Agreement.
Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
A postcard was mailed to residents and will be included as a display advertisement in the
Beach Reporter, Easy Reader and Daily Breeze; it is also provided on the city’s website.
The City EIR team interacted with the applicant prior to the finalization of the EIR in
order to address their concerns that the FEIR had not sufficiently considered E&B’s
comments and submittals on the draft EIR.
The City’s Parks and Recreation ((P&R) Commission on June 3rd was provided a
Presentation on the Oil Project Draft Environmental Impact Report in Relation to Parks
and Recreation by Ed Almanza, the City’s Project Manager. While the P&R
Commission passed a motion that the Planning Commission recommend not certifying
the Final EIR, staff notes that the matter was not agendized to allow action and this
Commission has no jurisdiction with regard to CEQA. Therefore, staff advises that the
P&R Commission’s action has no relevance or effect as regards the CEQA process.
The Final EIR will be online on June 9th at www.hermosabch.org. A study session on the
Final EIR with the Planning Commission is scheduled for June 18 at 6:00 p.m., City
Council Chambers. Staff will briefly highlight major EIR changes on June 10th.
Final Cost Benefit Assessment (CBA)
Per Council direction on May 27, Kosmont Companies will respond to comments on the
Cost Benefit Analysis, review pre-trial testimony, and review historic Hermosa Beach
well lot data. The cost of the additional work authorized by Council was $50,000. The
cost of the overages mentioned at the May 27, 2014 City Council meeting are $25,000,
bringing the total cost of the Cost Benefit Analysis to $200,000. This is paid by the City.
Kosmont expects to deliver the Final CBA to the City in July, 2014.
Final Health Impact Assessment (HIA)
The City’s consultant McDaniel Lambert/Intrinsik indicates the HIA will be available in
July. At the May 27, 2014 Council meeting it was reported to Council that the parent

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
AND
E&B NATURAL RESOURCES
MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Development Agreement” or “Agreement”)
is entered into as of the ____ day of ______________, _____, by and between the CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, a California municipal corporation ("City"), and E&B NATURAL
RESOURCES MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, a California corporation (“E&B”).
RECITALS
A. The City is the owner of that certain real property in the City of Hermosa Beach,
County of Los Angeles, and State of California described in Section 2.4 of this Agreement
(Exhibit A to this Agreement), also known informally as the City Maintenance Yard (“Property”
or “City Maintenance Yard”).
B. On or about January 14, 1992, the City entered into Oil and Gas Lease No. 2
(“Lease”) with Macpherson Oil Company, a California corporation, for itself and for Windward
Associates, a California limited partnership, of which it is the general partner (collectively
“Macpherson”). The Lease was approved by the California State Lands Commission (“CSLC”).
The Lease authorized Macpherson to perform oil and gas extraction activities in the tidelands
granted to the City by the State of California, and also authorized Macpherson to utilize the
Property for oil and gas drilling activities (“Macpherson Project”).
C. During the 1990s, Macpherson sought and obtained approvals for the Macpherson
Project from the City, the CSLC, the California Coastal Commission and the South Coast Air
Quality Management District. In 1995, the voters of the City passed Proposition E, an initiative
to ban oil drilling in the City. During this time, and subsequently, Macpherson, the City, the
CSLC, and opponents to the Macpherson Project were parties to several lawsuits regarding the
Macpherson Project, including an action by Macpherson against the City regarding whether
Proposition E constituted a breach of the Lease (“Macpherson Lawsuit”). The trial court in the
Macpherson Lawsuit determined that the adoption of Proposition E constituted a breach of the
Lease, subject to certain City defenses, and scheduled a trial in April 2012 to determine
Macpherson’s damages.
D. E&B, who had no prior relationship with Macpherson, investigated the
Macpherson Project and approached the City and Macpherson with a proposal to settle the
Macpherson Lawsuit and to provide E&B with a potential opportunity to proceed with “a state-
of-the-art directional well oil drilling project conducted from an urban drill site.” (Settlement
Agreement, p. 2.) On March 2, 2012, the City, Macpherson and E&B entered into a Settlement
Agreement and Release (“Settlement Agreement”).
- 2 -
E. The Settlement Agreement provided for the dismissal of the Macpherson Lawsuit,
certain payments to Macpherson, and the assignment to E&B of Macpherson’s rights under the
Lease and all other permits for the Macpherson Project which would allow E&B to proceed with

3 VESTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
3.1 Vested Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants of this
Agreement, including the Reservations of Power in Section 3.4, E&B shall have a vested right to
develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Project Approvals, Permitted
Uses and the Current Land Use Regulations. The approved use of the Property, the density and
intensity of use, the maximum height, footprint, and square footage of proposed buildings and
structures, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land or public purposes shall be those
set forth in the Project Approvals and on Exhibit __. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
- 8 -
to obligate E&B to initiate development of the Project or any portion thereof within any period
of time or at all.
3.1.1 Certain Changes Prohibited Without Consent of E&B. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, during the Term, the City shall not, as to the Property and the
Project, without the prior written consent of E&B, which may be withheld in E&B’s sole and
unfettered discretion: (a) change the Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project
Approvals as they apply to the Property or Project so as to prevent or adversely affect
development or construction of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, the Current Land
Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals; or (b) apply to the Property or the Project
any new or amended ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, requirement or official policy that is
inconsistent with the Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals, so as
to prevent or adversely affect development or construction of the Project in accordance with this
Agreement, the Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals, or prevent
or adversely affect the operation of the Project as contemplated hereby in accordance with the
Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals; or (c) apply to this
Agreement, the Property or the Project any new or amended ordinance, resolution, rule,
regulation, requirement or official policy that requires additional discretionary review or
approval not otherwise required for the Project by the Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted
Uses or Project Approvals; or (d) apply to this Agreement, the Property or the Project any new or
amended ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, requirement or official policy that materially,
adversely affects the timing or phasing of construction or development, or which limits the
availability of utilities or other infrastructure for the Project. For the purposes of this Section
3.1, “prevent or adversely affect development or construction of the Project” shall include,
without limitation, any changes which fundamentally affect the ability of any of the Permitted
Uses to operate within the Project (e.g. prohibit any of the Permitted Uses, change parking
standards for any of the Permitted Uses, etc.).
3.1.2 Rights are Vested. Unless amended or terminated in the manner specified
in this Agreement (and subject to the provisions of this Agreement), E&B shall have the rights
and benefits afforded by this Agreement and this Agreement shall be enforceable by E&B and
the City notwithstanding any growth control measure, initiative, proposition or any
development moratorium adopted after the Effective Date, or any change in the General Plan,
zoning, or subdivision regulations adopted by the City which alter or amend the Current Land
Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals or the adoption of any new or amended
ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, requirement or official policy that is inconsistent with
the Current Land Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals and so as to prevent or
adversely affect development or construction of the Project in accordance with the Current Land
Use Regulations, Permitted Uses or Project Approvals. This Section shall be construed to
prohibit the City from applying to the Property or the Project any development moratorium or
growth control measure that is adopted specifically to prohibit the construction or operation of
the Project, or as an interim measure pending contemplated General Plan, Specific Plan or
zoning changes, or as a general growth control management measure except as provided for
pursuant to Section 3.4.
3.1.3 Future Changes to Current Land Use Regulations. Following the
Approval Date, if the City modifies the Current Land Use Regulations in a manner that E&B, in
- 9 -
its sole discretion, determines is more beneficial than the Current Land Use Regulations, then the
E&B may choose in its sole discretion to be governed by the modified land use regulations rather
than the Current Land Use Regulations, without E&B being deemed to have waived or limited
any rights, remedies or privileges under this Agreement.
3.2 Other Rights.
3.2.1 Future Ministerial Permits. The E&B will seek additional ministerial
permits as required by the City, including, without limitation, excavation only permits, grading
permits, demolition permits, building permits, well permits, drilling permits and public works
permits, as needed to implement the Project Approvals and to construct and operate the Project.
Collectively, these ministerial permit applications are called the "Future Ministerial Permits".
The City agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably condition any of the
Future Ministerial Permits which must be issued by the City in order for the Project to proceed,
provided that E&B reasonably and satisfactorily complies with all preliminary procedures,
actions, payment of Processing Fees and criteria generally required for processing such Future
Ministerial Permits, and provided further that such Future Ministerial Permits comply with this
Agreement, the Current Land Use Regulations and the Project Approvals and approvals of other
governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Project..
3.2.2 Phasing of Development. The parties acknowledge that E&B cannot at
this time predict when or the rate at which the Project would be developed. Such decisions
depend upon numerous factors which are not all within the control of E&B, such as market
orientation and demand, availability of financing and competition. Because the California
Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that
the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development permitted a later
adopted initiative restricting the timing of development, it is the intent of E&B and the City to
hereby acknowledge and provide for the right of E&B to develop the Project in such phases and
at such rate and times as E&B deems appropriate within the exercise of its sole and subjective
business judgment subject to Section 3.2 hereof, and in compliance with Project Approvals,
notwithstanding the adoption of any initiative or proposition by the City’s electorate after the
Effective Date of the Agreement. The City acknowledges that such a right is consistent with the
intent, purpose and understanding of the parties to this Agreement. Without in any way limiting
E&B's right under Section 5.2.2 not to proceed with development of the Project and, in such an
event, to terminate this Agreement in its sole and subjective business judgment, if E&B proceeds
with the Project, E&B will use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with its own business
judgment and taking into consideration market conditions and other economic factors
influencing its business decision, to commence or to continue development, and to develop the
Project in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, the Current Land
Use Regulations, and the Project Approvals.
3.3 Reservations of Power.
- 10 -
3.3.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the following subsequent land use regulations shall apply to the
development of the Property:
(a) Processing Fees (but not Exactions) imposed by the City to cover
the estimated actual costs to the City of processing applications for Project Approvals, fees for
monitoring compliance with any Project Approvals, or fees for monitoring compliance with
environmental mitigation measures.
(b) Procedural regulations applied on a City-wide, nondiscriminatory
basis relating to City entities required to review petitions or applications, forms of petitions and
applications, notice requirements, information requested with petitions or applications, conduct
of hearings, form of staff reports, nature and type of recommendations by City entities, appeal
procedures and any other similar matters of procedure.
(c) Regulations governing building codes and similar construction
standards and specifications including, but not limited to, the California and International Codes,
as they may be changed from time to time.
(d) Regulations that are necessary to protect the public health and
safety, including without limitation, development moratorium or limitation on the delivery of
City-provided utility services, which meet each of the following requirements: (a) are based on
genuine health, safety and general welfare concerns (other than general growth management
issues); (b) which arise out of a documented emergency situation, as declared by the President of
the United States, Governor of California, or the Mayor or City Council of the City of Hermosa
Beach; and (c) are based upon its terms or its effect as applied, does not apply exclusively or
primarily to the Property or the Project. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be
applied and construed so as to provide E&B with the rights and assurances provided under this
Agreement.
(e) Regulations that are not in conflict with the Project Approvals,
Current Land Use Regulations or this Agreement. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative
or otherwise, limiting the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development of the Property
shall be deemed to conflict with the Project and shall therefore not be applicable to the
development of the Property. Any regulation limiting the Permitted Uses of the Property,
limiting the density or intensity of use of the Property, or limiting the size, height or location of
improvements on the Property shall be deemed to conflict with the Project Approvals and shall
therefore not be applicable to the development of the Property.
(f) Regulations that are in conflict with the Project, but as to which the
E&B has given its prior written consent for such regulations to be applied to the Property or to
the development of the Property.
(g) Regulations applied on a City-wide, non-discriminatory basis that
do not prevent or adversely affect development or construction of the Project.
3.3.2 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that
state or federal laws or regulations, or those of any regional authority having jurisdiction over the
- 11 -
Project or Property, enacted after the Approval Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude
compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this
Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state,
federal, or regional authority laws or regulations and to effectuate to the extent possible the terms
of this Agreement.
3.3.3 Police Power. The parties acknowledge and agree that City is restricted in
its authority to limit its police power by development agreement and that the foregoing
limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to City all of its police power
which cannot be so limited. This Agreement shall be construed to reserve to City all such power
and authority which cannot be restricted by development agreement.
3.3.4 Taxes, Assessments and Fees. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, City may impose on the Project any new non-discriminatory, City-wide taxes,
assessments and fees, including but not limited to business license taxes or franchise fees, but not
including any Exaction or other fee designated to mitigate the impact of development of the
Project.
3.4 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that
other public agencies not within the control of the City may possess authority to regulate aspects
of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with City, and this Agreement does
not limit the authority of such other public agencies.
3.5 Agreement and Assurances on the Part of E&B. Without in any way limiting
E&B’s rights under Section 5.2.2 not to proceed with development of the Project and, in such an
event, to terminate this Agreement in its sole and subjective business judgment, if E&B proceeds
with the Project, E&B agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with
its own business judgment and taking into account market conditions and economic
considerations, to develop the Project, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Current Land Use Regulations, the Lease and the Project Approvals.
3.6 Public Benefits.
3.6.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that development of the Project will
result in public benefits as set forth in Exhibit __. The City acknowledges the adequacy of the
consideration, including the Public Benefits, provided by E&B to the City pursuant to this
Agreement.

that it is within the control of the City, the City shall use its best efforts to ensure that there shall
be sufficient capacity, facilities and services with respect to City-provided utilities to complete
construction of the Project and open the uses thereon to the public. The City agrees that if
limitations in the provision of utilities become necessary due to the existence of an emergency
situation, they shall be applied only to the extent necessary to respond to such emergency, and
shall not be applied against the Property or the Project in a discriminatory manner.
3.7.3 City-Provided Utilities: Nondiscriminatory Rates and Provision of
Service. The City agrees that rates and charges for City-provided utilities for the Property and
Project shall not be set or imposed in a discriminatory manner, but shall be those rates and
charges that are or would be generally applicable to any user of a comparable quantity and
quality of the utility use in the City (i.e., any other entity whose use or consumption of the utility
is comparable to that of E&B), and that the City shall not discriminate against the Property or the
Project in the provision of any City-provided utilities (such as potable and reclaimed water,
sewer and drainage).

be necessary to vacate any prior dedications, offers to dedicate and grants of easements that are
no longer necessary for the development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement.

the Property or as a result of which E&B retains at least twenty-five (25) percent interest in the
Property and maintains effective management control of the Project
4.2 Changes and Amendments to Project
4.2.1 In the event E&B reasonably finds that a change or amendment in the
Project Approvals is reasonably necessary or appropriate, E&B shall apply for any required
changes to the Project Approvals. Any such application that does not require an amendment to
the Permitted Uses, Zoning Ordinance, or General Plan shall be processed in the normal manner
for processing such matters in accordance with the Current Land Use Regulations, except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement, including the Reservations of Power. Any application
that requires an amendment to the Permitted Uses, Zoning Ordinance, or General Plan shall be
processed in the normal manner for processing such matters in accordance with the land use
regulations in effect at the time the application is filed.
4.2.2 Minor Changes to Project - No Amendment of Agreement
The parties acknowledge that refinements or modifications of the Project
may be required during the Term. The parties agree that refinements and modifications which
constitute a "minor change” in the Project or Project Approvals shall not require an amendment
to this Agreement or public notice and a hearing. For any such minor change, the City shall not
impose as a condition to approval any Exaction, except as authorized in this Agreement. The
City Manager shall be authorized to make the determination on behalf of the City whether a
requested refinement or modification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 or
whether the requested refinement or modification is of such a character to require an amendment
hereof pursuant to Section 4.2.3. The City Manager shall be authorized to approve any minor
changes hereunder on behalf of the City. The City Manager shall not unreasonably withhold or
delay its determination that a requested refinement or modification is a “minor change” as that
term is used herein. A change to the Project Approvals shall not be deemed “minor change” if
such change:
(a) Alters the Permitted Uses of the Property as a whole;
- 15 -
(b) Requires an amendment to the Permitted Uses, Zoning Ordinance,
or General Plan;
(c) Increases the density or intensity of use of the Property as a whole;
(d) Deletes a requirement for the reservation or dedication of land for
public purposes within the Property;
(e) Constitutes a project requiring a subsequent or supplemental
environmental impact report pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21166;
(f) Creates a situation adverse to public health or safety.
4.2.3 Other Changes. Any change in the Project which does not qualify as a
"minor change" as defined herein shall require an amendment to this Agreement as provided in
Section 6.9.
4.3 Annual/Special Review.
4.3.1 Annual Review. The City shall, at least every twelve (12) months during
the Term of this Agreement, review the extent of good faith substantial compliance by E&B with
the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the notice and cure procedure set forth in Section 5.1.2,
such a periodic review may result in amendment or termination of this Agreement, provided a
default has been established under the terms of this Agreement. Pursuant to Government Code
Section 65865.1, as amended, E&B shall have the duty to file an annual review request with
the City, pay any applicable Processing Fees for such annual review and demonstrate its good
faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement at such periodic review. The parties recognize
that this Agreement and the documents incorporated herein could be deemed to contain many
requirements (i.e., construction standards, landscape standards, etc.) and that evidence of each
and every requirement would be a wasteful exercise of the parties' resources. Accordingly, E&B
shall be deemed to have satisfied its duty of demonstration if it presents evidence satisfactory to
the City of its good faith and substantial compliance with the major provisions of this
Agreement.
4.3.1.1 Any party may address any requirement of this Agreement during
the review. However, ten (10) days’ written notice of any requirement to be addressed shall be
made by the requesting party. If at the time of review an issue not previously identified in
writing is required to be addressed, the review at the request of either party shall be continued to
afford sufficient time for analysis and preparation.
4.3.2 Special Review. The City Council may order a special review of
compliance with this Agreement at any time. The Director of Community Development or City
Council, as determined from time to time by the City Council, shall conduct such special
reviews. Any special review shall comply with the procedural provisions of an annual review as
provided by Section 4.3.1.
- 16 -
4.3.3 Opportunity to be Heard. Upon written request to the City by E&B, E&B
shall be permitted an opportunity to be heard orally and/or in writing at a hearing before the City
Council regarding its performance under this Agreement. E&B shall also be heard before the
City Council at any required public hearing concerning a review of action on the Agreement.
4.3.4 Information to be Provided E&B. The City shall, to such an extent as is
practical, deposit in the mail to E&B a copy of staff reports and related exhibits concerning
contract performance a minimum of seven (7) business days prior to any such review or action
upon this Agreement by the Planning Commission or the City Council.
5 DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION
5.1 Enforceability.
5.1.1 Default. Subject to Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, failure by any party to
perform any term or provision of this Agreement required to be performed by such party shall
constitute an event of default ("Event of Default”). In the event that E&B files for reorganization
or other relief under any Federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency law, whether voluntarily or
by involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency action, all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect unless E&B engages in an Event of Default. For purposes of this
Agreement, a party claiming another party is in default shall be referred to as the "Complaining
Party", and the party alleged to be in default shall be referred to as the "Party in Default".
5.1.2 Procedure Regarding Defaults.
5.1.2.1 Notice of Default. The Complaining Party shall give written notice
of default to the Party in Default, specifying the default complained of by the Complaining Party.
Delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default nor shall it change the
time of default. The Party in Default shall diligently endeavor to cure, correct or remedy the
matter complained of, provided the such cure, correction or remedy shall be completed within
the applicable time period set forth herein after receipt of written notice (or such additional, time
as may be deemed by the Complaining Party to be reasonably necessary to correct the matter).
Any failures or delays by a Complaining Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to
any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays
by a Complaining Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies shall not deprive the
Complaining Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may
deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies. If an Event of Default
occurs, prior to exercising any remedies, the Complaining Party shall give the Party in Default
written notice of such default. Without limitation, evidence of default may arise in the course of
the regularly scheduled annual review or a special review described in Section 4.3.
5.1.2.2 Cure Periods. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured
within thirty (30) days, the Party in Default shall have such period to effect a cure prior to
exercise of remedies by the Complaining Party. If the nature of the alleged default is such that it
cannot practicably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, the cure shall be deemed to have
occurred within such thirty (30) day period if (i) the cure is commenced at the earliest practicable
- 17 -
date following receipt of the notice; (ii) the cure is diligently prosecuted to completion at all
times thereafter; (iii) at the earliest practicable date (in no event later than thirty (30) days after
the curing party's receipt of the notice), the curing party provides written notice to the other party
that the cure cannot practicably be completed within such thirty (30) day period; and (iv) the cure
is completed at the earliest practicable date. In no event shall the Complaining Party be
precluded from exercising remedies, subject to the preceding sentence if a default is not cured
within sixty (60) days after the first notice of default is given. Subject to the foregoing, if a party
fails to cure a default in accordance with the foregoing, the Complaining Party, at its option, may
terminate this Agreement pursuant to California Government Code Section 65868, and/or
institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.
5.1.2.3 Procedures Regarding City Termination. Notice of intent to
terminate shall be by certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon delivery by the City of notice
of intent to terminate, the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City
Council within thirty (30) days in accordance with Government Code Sections 65867 and 65868.
Upon consideration of the evidence presented in said review and a determination by the City
Council based thereon, the City may give written notice of termination of this Agreement to
E&B. Any determination of default (or any determination of failure to demonstrate good faith
compliance as a part of annual review) made by the City against E&B, or any person who
succeeds to E&B with respect to any portion of the Property, shall be based upon written
findings supported by substantial evidence in the record. Any purported termination of this
Agreement for alleged default shall be subject to review in the Superior Court of the County of
Los Angeles pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 1094.5(c).
5.1.3 Institution of Legal Action. Subject to notice of default and opportunity to
cure under Section 5.1.2, and subject further to the limitation on remedies set forth in Section
5.1.4, in addition to any other rights or remedies, any party to this Agreement may institute legal
action to cure, correct or remedy any default, to enforce any covenants or agreements herein, to
enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof, or to obtain any other remedies consistent
with this Agreement. If a legal action or proceeding is brought by any party to this Agreement
because of an Event of Default under this Agreement, or to enforce a provision hereof, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in prosecuting such legal action or proceeding. This
provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement into any
judgment on this Agreement.
5.1.4 Remedies.
5.1.4.1 E&B’s Remedies. It is acknowledged by the parties that the City
would not have entered into this Agreement if it were liable in damages under or with respect to
this Agreement or the application thereof. In addition, the parties agree that monetary damages
are not an adequate remedy for E&B if the City should be determined to be in default under this
Agreement. The parties further agree that specific performance shall be E&B’s only remedy
under this Agreement and E&B may not seek monetary damages in the event of a default by City
under this Agreement. E&B covenants not to sue for or obtain monetary damages for the breach
by City of any provision of this Agreement.
- 18 -
5.1.4.2 City's Remedies. The parties agree that the City shall have limited
remedies for monetary damages and specific performance as specifically provided for in this
Section 5.1.4.2. The City shall not have any right to compel specific performance with respect to
the construction of the Project, or any obligation to construct the Project, including without
limitation Section 3.7. Further, the City shall have no right to monetary damages as a result of
E&B's failure to construct the Project or its failure to comply with Section 3.7. The City shall
have the right to sue for monetary damages for failure by the E&B to pay any amounts owing
under this Agreement including without limitation any amounts owing pursuant to Section 6.5.1.
In no event shall the City be entitled to consequential damages or punitive damages for any
breach of this Agreement. City also shall have the right to seek monetary damages for
reimbursement of the actual cost to the City incurred by the City to construct, complete,
demolish, remove or restore any physical infrastructure improvement in the public right of way
which E&B commences construction of but fails to complete.
5.1.4.3 Other Actions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
waive or limit any rights and remedies that the parties would otherwise have against the other
relating to matters not covered by this Agreement.
5.2 Termination of Agreement.
5.2.1 As to the Property and all of the rights of E&B hereunder, and except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no
further effect upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement unless earlier terminated
pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 5.1.2,
the City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to the Property and the rights of E&B
hereunder, in the event E&B defaults and fails to cure such default within the respective cure
period. Subject to the notice and cure provisions set forth in Section 5.1.2, E&B shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and the rights of the City hereunder in the event the City
defaults and fails to cure such default within the respective cure period. Upon the termination of
this Agreement, neither party shall have any further right or obligation with respect to the
Property hereunder except with respect to any obligation to have been performed prior to such
termination or with respect to any default in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement
which has occurred prior to such termination (other than commencement of construction of either
phase) or with respect to any obligations which are specifically set forth as surviving this
Agreement.
5.2.2 Termination by E&B Prior to Development. E&B is free, in its sole and
subjective business judgment, not to proceed with development of the Project and, in such an
event, to terminate this Agreement. The City acknowledges that such a right is consistent with
the intent, purpose and understanding of the parties to this Agreement. In the event E&B decides
not to proceed with development of the Project and to terminate this Agreement, the E&B shall
provide written notice to the City of that decision and of the final, irrevocable termination of this
Agreement. Immediately upon the giving of such written notice to the City, the parties’ rights
and obligations under this Agreement shall cease, except with respect to any obligations which
are specifically set forth as surviving this Agreement. In the event of such written notice to the
City terminating this Agreement, all Project Approvals other than the Lease and those included
in the City’s General Plan and/or the Municipal Code, shall terminate and be extinguished. Formatted: Expanded by 0.1 pt
- 19 -
5.2.25.2.3 Effect of Termination on City. Upon any termination of this
Agreement, the entitlements, conditions of development, limitations on fees and all other terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall no longer be vested hereby with respect to the property
affected by such termination (provided vesting of entitlements, conditions or fees applicable to
the Property shall be governed by planning and zoning law) and the City shall no longer be
limited, by this Agreement, to make any changes or modifications to such entitlements,
conditions or fees applicable to such property.

the Project Approvals, of the EIR or of this Development Agreement, E&B and the City shall
cooperate in defending any such action. The City shall notify E&B of any such legal action
against City within ten (10) days after the City receives service of process, except for any

6.5.1 E&B Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, E&B hereby
agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and
its elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, volunteers, successors, and assigns
(collectively "Indemnitees") from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities,
claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses
of any nature whatsoever, including reasonable fees of accountants, attorneys, engineers,
consultants or other professionals and all costs associated therewith, arising or claimed to arise,

act, error, or omission of E&B or any of its officers, agents, servants, lessees, employees,
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers or their officers, agents, servants, lessees, or
employees, or arising or claimed to arise, directly or indirectly, out of, in connection with,

under these indemnity provisions. E&B shall pay Indemnitees for any reasonable attorneys fees
and costs incurred in enforcing these indemnification provisions.

enacted after the Approval Date or the action or inaction of any other affected governmental
jurisdiction prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement or
require changes in plans, maps or permits approved by the City, the parties shall (a) provide the

reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement, but only to the minimum extent necessary to

the parties reach an agreement on the effect of such federal, regional or state law or regulation
upon this Agreement, the matter shall be scheduled for hearings before the Council. Ten (10)
days’ written notice of such hearing shall be given, pursuant to Government Code Sections
65090 and 65867. The Council, at such hearing, shall determine the exact modification or
suspension which shall be necessitated by such federal, regional or state law or regulation. E&B,
at the hearing, shall have the right to offer oral and written testimony. Any modification or
suspension shall be taken by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the authorized
voting members of the Council. Any suspension or modification may be subject to judicial

Agreement, the burdens and obligations of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the
benefits of this Agreement shall inure to, all successors in interest to the parties to this

therein, and shall be covenants running with the land.

laws of the State of California.
6.14 Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who now or hereafter owns or
acquires any right, title or interest in or to any portion of the Property is and shall be conclusively

interest in the Property.

in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement, which either party may make from
time to time, the other party shall execute and deliver to the requesting party a statement
certifying that: (a) this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there have
been modifications hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating
the date and nature of such modifications; (b) that this Agreement is in full force and there are
no current uncured defaults under this Agreement or specifying the dates and nature of any such
defaults; and (c) any other information reasonably requested. The failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the party which fails to deliver such
statement that this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification except as may be
represented by the requesting party and that there are no uncured defaults in the performance of
the requesting party. Said statement(s) shall be in the form reasonably satisfactory to the City,
E&B and to any purchaser, lender, title company, governmental agency, or other person
reasonably requesting such statement(s) in connection with sale, use, development, construction,
financing or marketing of the Property. The City and E&B, for their own respective uses, shall
also be entitled to obtain a statement of compliance at any reasonable time.

other in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement, including assistance in obtaining
permits for the development of the Property or the Project which may be required from public
agencies other than the City. E&B reserves the right to challenge any ordinance, measure,
moratorium or other limitation in a court of law if it becomes necessary to protect the development
rights vested in the Property pursuant to this Agreement.
6.19 Justifiable Reliance. The City acknowledges that, in investing money and
planning effort in and to the Project and all public improvements and dedication offers required
hereunder, and in undertaking commencement of the Project, E&B will be doing so in reliance
upon the City's covenants contained in this Agreement and upon the enforceability of this
Agreement, and the City agrees that it will be reasonable and justifiable for E&B to so rely.
6.20 Project Is Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed to by and
between the parties hereto that: (1) the subject development is a private development; (2) except
for the obligations of the City described herein, if any, the City has no responsibilities for or duty
to third parties concerning any public improvement until such time and only until such time that
the City accepts the same pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (3) E&B shall have full
- 24 -
power over and exclusive control of the development of the Project herein described subject only
to the limitations and obligations of E&B under this Agreement and the Project Approvals; and
(4) the contractual relationship between the City and E&B is such that E&B is not an agent of
the City nor is City an agent of E&B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
waive or modify any otherwise applicable obligations the City, acting in its governmental
capacity and not as a party to this Agreement, may have to E&B or any other party, under and in
accordance with all applicable laws.

Agreement to carry out the intent and to fulfill the provisions of this Agreement or to evidence or
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.22 Section Headings. All Article and Section headings and subheadings are inserted
for convenience only and shall not affect any construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
6.23 Enforced Delay (Force Majeure).
(a) In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by any
party hereunder, including making payments, shall not be deemed to be in default where delays or
defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, walkouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties,
acts of God, litigation (including without limitation, third party legal challenges to the Project,
the Project Approvals or the environmental clearance for the Project Approvals and the Project),
unavailability of materials, unforeseeable events beyond the control of E&B, governmental
restrictions including moratoria imposed or mandated by governmental entities (but only as to
delays or defaults on the part of E&B), enactment of conflicting state or federal laws or
regulations (but only if the party claiming delay complies at all times with the provisions of this
Agreement pertaining to such conflicting laws), delays caused by the delay or failure by any entity
other than the party claiming such delay to provide financing for or construction of needed public
facilities or infrastructure as contemplated or required by this Agreement, delays due to the
enforcement of environmental regulations, litigation brought by third parties, or similar bases for
excused performance.
(b) An extension of time for any such cause including an extension of the
Term (a "Force Majeure Delay") shall be for the period of the enforced delay and shall commence
to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by the party claiming such
extension is sent to the other parties within thirty (30) days of knowledge of the commencement
of the cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing events shall constitute a Force
Majeure Delay unless and until the party claiming such delay and interference delivers to the
other party written notice describing the event, its cause, when and how such party obtained
knowledge, the date the event commenced, and the estimated delay resulting therefrom. Any
- 25 -
party claiming a Force Majeure Delay shall deliver such written notice within thirty (30) days
after it obtains actual knowledge of the event. The time for performance due to a Force Majeure
Delay will be extended for such period of time as the cause of such delay exists (whether or not
it extends beyond the Term or the Extended Term) but in no event for longer than for such period
of time.
(c) Notwithstanding the first sentence of paragraph (b), above, the following
shall apply: (i) E&B shall be entitled to a Force Majeure Delay for a period longer than the period
of enforced delay if the City Council determines that such longer period is reasonably required;
and (ii) E&B shall be entitled to a Force Majeure Delay notwithstanding the fact that E&B may
not have given timely notice to the City, if the City Council determines that such Force Majeure
Delay is reasonably required.
(d) A Force Majeure Delay shall not include the existence of any adverse or
difficult market or economic conditions.
6.24 Emergency Circumstances.
(a) If, as the result of specific facts, events or circumstances, the City believes
that a severe and immediate emergency threat to the health or safety of the City or its residents,
meeting the requirements of subparagraph (b), below, requires the modification, suspension or
termination of this Agreement, the City will, after reasonable notice to E&B (in light of all the
circumstances), hold a hearing on such facts, events or circumstances, at which E&B shall have
the right to address the City Council. The City shall have the right to modify, suspend or
terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, if, following such hearing, the City Council
determines that such modification, suspension or termination is required in order to protect the

Subject: Definition and Location of Tidelands as promised 5/27
Hi Tom,
At the 5/27 CC Meeting I promised to send the definition and location of Tidelands / Uplands
border.
Please provide this information to the Council Members, Staff and report preparers as
appropriate.
The attached files ;
A. the 1957 maps faxed from the City of HB to the SLC per negotiated agreements. (qty 2)
B. Todays Google Maps of HB south end tidelands/uplands. (qty 2)
C. 1993 SLC agreements/memo (qty 3)
D. Report MHTL Manhattan Beach Width Change from a Century of Images
1. Tidelands trust fund;
Would the City like to join me in a rule interpretation from the State Lands Commission,
External Affairs department?
We can easily resolve this issue with the expert legal team specifically created and mandated to
manage and monitor every Tideland Grant in the State. I'll be asking Sheri Pemberton these
questions soon.
http://www.slc.ca.gov/Division_Pages/EAD/EAD_Home_Page.html
In preparing this memo, I determined that I need to inform the City that our State Lands
Commission (SLC) MOU specifies the exact amount of revenue to be placed in the Tidelands
trust is 11 2/3%. This must be the amount in the trust after any 'off the top' intentions expressed
as an "untested interpretation" by Mr. Jenkins. The City is risking the 1919 grant itself by
a breach of our trustee responsibilities and the 1994 SLC Lease approval for access to the
tidelands.
The MOU item #3 defines that 11 2/3% of oil value produced from the tidelands must be
placed in Tidelands Trust.
The MOU item #4 defines the "deposit of all royalty revenues" .
Perhaps the solution, in light of these facts, is to place 11 2/3% into tidelands trust fund, 3.66%
into Uplands account and 3.33% paid to Macpherson for all tidelands Oil value. I would be
surprised if a 30 year oil and gas bureaucrat in Long Beach, with intimate familiarity with the
public trust doctrine, could agree to any other conclusion drawn by the CBA team.
2. Tidelands border;
The Tidelands border is established by the agreement between the City and the SLC. Based on
the 1957 maps, the tideland/upland border line is located approximately 150 feet west of the
Strand wall, on average for the entire City. I estimate this by comparison of the mapped
sand area west of the strand to the equal strand facing distance of the five (5) southern-
most strand parcels (5 x actual 30 feet wide ea.) The most recent google maps show at least twice
and possibly triple the amount of sand as in 1957.
The importance of the location of the tideland border impacts two main issues;
1. Revenue fund allocation, expenditures and limitations.
2. Oil Volume / Revenue may be reduced due to the required location of many of the 30
proposed wells (per the Lease and SLC MOU/Amendment). See amendment #8 below and
section 12.g of Lease. This could limit well production for the life of the project.
My estimation (per DEIR and DCBA) of the number of Protection wells which will be required
on the Redondo Beach border (10) and on both sides of the Tideland / Upland border (20) based
upon the Lease, City/SLC MOU and DOGGR regulations to prevent drainage. Typical industry
standard spacing for such wells is placement every 10 acres (660 feet x 660 feet).
Please note that the sand width is not as exact as the MHTL but is used to provide the observable
comparisons. Case law indicates that accretion does not change the definition of the tidelands
border, accretion only changes the tidelands subgroup from submerged lands to filled tidelands.
Please see attached report on Manhattan Beach historical changes in 'wet sand width' with
images and reasons for changes in the 1960's and 1970's. The extension of the Redondo Beach
breakwater in 1960 began a massive buildup of our beaches with sand from the Marina del Rey
dredging and projects in El Segundo. Previously much of the literal flow of material ended up in
the Redondo Beach subsea canyon.
Backup data summarized below;
The City and SLC signed a MOU per the 04/30/1993 SLC Commissioners decision which
conditionally approved the City's ability to enter into a Tidelands Oil and Gas Lease. Please see
the 5/11/1993 cover memo from SLC noting the MOU and the immediate expectation for the
hardcopy of the executed of the multipart Amendment.
The MOU has 5 items which relate to production from the tidelands. In summary,
#3 defines that 11 2/3% of oil value produced from the tidelands must be placed in Tidelands
Trust.
#4 "deposit of all royalty revenues resulting from the production of oil and gas from the
tidelands.
#4 "use in accordance with" specific 1919 granted purposes.
#10 1957 mean high tide line shall serve as the baseline. (see two maps with 4/22/93 City fax
timestamp)
#11 The City agrees to amend Lease.
The Amendment has 4 items which relate to production from the tidelands. In summary,
#1 '...exclusively from the Drill Site or from another drill site located only in the uplands as
approved by the vote of the people.'
#3 "'Restricted royalty' is that royalty received by the City which must be deposited in a special
tide and submerged lands account to be held in trust
#3 and to be expended only in accordance with chapter 479, Statutes 1919, or as it may be
amended."
#8 obligations to drill protection wells to protect both the leased lands and the tidelands therein
from drainage
Best Regards,
Tom Morley
More detail of SLC text below;
MOU
#3 The Commission acknowledges and approves that royalty revenue from the tidelands due and
payable under the Lease to the City, shall be allocated seven percent (7%) to the City General
Fund for the use of the drill site and eleven and two thirds percent (11 2/3%) to the Special
Tidelands Trust Account.
#4 City shall establish a Special Tidelands Trust Fund for deposit of all royalty revenues
resulting from the production of oil and gas from the tidelands for allowable use in accordance
with Chapter 479, Statutes 1919, or as it may be amended.
#10 The Commission and the City agree that the mean high tide line, as surveyed and described
on that certain "Plat of the State Tidelands Boundary Along the Shore of the Pacific Ocean
Within the City of Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles County, California, dated December 13, 1957
and signed by F. J. Hortig and prepared under W.O. 2771, shall serve as the base line for the
allocation of the production between the tidelands trust and all other lands. The City further
acknowledges that the mean high tide line is not a fixed boundary and that the City shall survey
the mean high tide line from time to time in order to accurately allocate production between the
tidelands and all other lands.
#11 The parties acknowledge that certain amendments to the Lease will or are agreed to between
the City and Operator to address comments and concerns of the Commission.
SLC and City agreed lease amendments.
Recitals B. In response to certain concerns raised by the State Lands Commission, the parties
hereto desire to amend the Lease. Now Therefore, The parties hereto agree as follows;
1. Section 1.h. shall be added as follows;
"h. Lessee's rights herein to prospect for , drill for, produce and take oil, gas and other
hydrocarbon substances from the leased lands and adjacent lands shall be to operate exclusively
from the Drill Site or from another drill site located only in the uplands as approved by the vote
of the people. ....
3. The second sentence of Section 2.b.(2) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and
amended to read as follows;
"'Restricted royalty' is that royalty received by the City which must be deposited in a special tide
and submerged lands account to be held in trust and to be expended only in accordance with
chapter 479, Statutes 1919, or as it may be amended."
8. The first paragraph of subsection 12.g shall be amended to read as follows;
"g. ....[sic; Tideland and upland adjacency]....The City and Lessee have agreed that the Lessee
shall have the following obligations to drill protection wells to protect both the leased lands and
the tidelands therein from drainage, whether caused by the Lessee's own production operations
on other lands or by producing operations conducted by others."

Subject: Fwd: Definition and Location of Tidelands as promised 5/27
Hi Tom and Ann,
If possible, Please include this email and the May 30th email , plus the attachments, as a
supplemental to tonight's 6/10/14 City Council agenda. Please obscure my email address.
Regards,
Tom Morley
FYI, on May 30th I sent the attached email to the City Manager, I wanted you all to be informed.
1. Tidelands trust fund;
2. Tidelands border
At issue is not just the 'off the top ' 3.33% of all oil value to Macpherson. Other additional
unauthorized spending of tidelands trust funds are utilized in the CBA.
Please note that on the 'Tidelands Trust' spending issue can be easily resolved by asking the
dedicated legal team at the State Lands Commission, External Affairs Division. This Division
was created in 2011 by the State Legislature and is staffed with a legal team which is dedicated
solely to Tidelands Grant issues.
Why not ask them immediately?
http://www.slc.ca.gov/Division_Pages/EAD/EAD_Home_Page.html
Tidelands funds can only be spent as approved by the State Lands Commission (SLC). A
maximum of $646,000 is currently approved by the SLC to repay advances (per the Lease and
MOU). The CBA projected tidelands trust reduction is $50 Million (77 times more than
approved by SLC).
The Lease, approved by the SLC, specified the actual dollar amounts ($646,000), to be spent
from tidelands. see below.
The CBA interprets these specific agreements as if an entire category of spending was approved.
Worse, the CBA expands the content of those categories to include the E&B settlement
payment.
The City agreed with the SLC to have any changes to the Lease pre-approved by the SLC. I think
this accounting procedure would be contrary to the SLC approval and would constitute an
amendment to the Lease requireing prior approval by the SLC. The City is on the precipice of
accepting accounting activities which are contrary to the Public Trust Doctrine and their Trustee
Responsibilities under State Law.
The SLC has the authority to make a different decision on the permission to access the tidelands
oil if they become aware of the millions of additional $50 million dollars proposed to reduce the
Tidelands Trust balance. The City risks losing the SLC approval to drill into the tidelands if this
accounting gimmick is utilized.
How is this happening?
The Scope of Work for Kosmont only required the CBA team to review E&B's BRG report and
that BRG report on page 34-35 suggests the exact interpretation used by Kosmont . see attached
The CBA shows three SLC MOU allowed uses for spending of tidelands.
The CBA (page 15) interpretation is that any amount 'advanced' by the Operator as loans can be
paid back with 70% coming from tidelands funds. The CBA also assumes that the $3.5 Million
settlement agreement payment to E&B can be paid with a split of tidelands dollars (without any
support from the Lease or MOU terms). They note MOU #7 to allow tidelands fund spending
70/30 split of advances (loans) from Lessee. MOU#7 refers to section 13 of the Lease (13.d.4).
Both points are incorrect.
Here are the facts from the Lease.
The State Lands Commission only approved specific values in the Lease for allowed 'advances' ;
13.a $21,000 for consulting services
13.c $75,000 for temp city yard move
13.d $500,000 for permanent City yard move
20.e $50,000 for environmental Cleanup of city yard
__________
Total $646,000
The CBA is already using a higher number for advances (on page 75 and pg.101) of $8,260,000
including $3.5 Mil E&B settlement payment which qualify for the 70/30 split . (70% =
$5,782,000)
The Macpherson 3.33% settlement royalty would be $43.8 Million at CBA expected volume for
the tidelands split.
The CBA projected Tidelands Trust reduction is $49.6 Million (77 times higher than approved
by SLC).
Reductions of the tideland trust, under this logic, may be even higher with additional negotiated
Development Agreement exactions.
E&B is now suggesting in the Development agreement negotiations to adjust those 1992 dollars
up to 2014 dollar value and to add other 'advances' to the City. The 'advances' could even be
negotiated to include the total amount of all City expenses and losses (rent) and to bank the debt
service which could add up to a total value from $15 Million to $50 million. The
'advances' could be even more if E&B agrees to loan or advance the Macpherson 3.33% as an
'advance'. Under this logic, if there is no limit to what can be called an 'advance', then the $85
Million to $175 Million of Carbon Offsets, per CBA section 13.5, could be purchased with a
split of tidelands trust revenue in support of the City's carbon neutral public policy.
Last, if the tidelands is not tapped for these funds for Macpherson royalty and the 'advances' then
the General Fund pays the amounts. The City will not even meet cost breakeven if the spendable
'unrestricted' dollars will not cover the $30 million of City costs/expenses. It is very uncertain
that much more oil volume (2x, 3x, 4x, 6.5x) than Redondo actually produced from 30 wells will
be achieved. Larry Kosmont and Will both told the City Council last week that 'horizontal
drilling' and other technical oil drilling improvements will not increase the volume of oil
recovered. The techniques will only accelerate the rate of production into earlier years of the
project.
...tom
Note; In support of my previous email to Tom Bakaly, please see exhibit B of the Lease. This is
another example of what the SLC approved as Tidelands Trust funding.
It specifies 11 2/3% must be deposited in the special tidelands trust fund. see 2.b.ii
EXHIBIT "B"
ROYALTY PERCENTAGE
2. TIDELANDS ROYALTY PERCENTAGE
The royalty for oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances
resulting from the leased lands in the tidelands (i.e., all tide
and submerged lands within the present boundaries of the City of
Hermosa Beach situated below the line of the mean high tide of the
Pacific Ocean and extending seaward one (1) nautical) which Lessee°
shall pay to City shall be as follows:
(a) Eighteen and two-thirds per cent (18-2/3%) of
all oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances,
excepting gasoline extracted from gas produced,
saved and sold from the tidelands;
(b) .Eighteen and two-thirds per cent (18-2/3%) of
fifty per cent (50%) of all gasoline extracted
from gas produced, saved and sold from the
tidelands.
Royalty and/or money from royalty shall be divided between the
Special Tidelands Trust Fund and the City's general Lund as follows:
(i) A share of the royalty or money equal to
thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) to the
City's general fund as consideration for furnishing
the Drill Site;
(ii) A share of the royalty or money equal to
sixty-two and one-half percent (62.5%) to the
Special Tidelands Trust Fund.

Subject: Item 7 (b) on 6/10/14 agenda
This is a supplemental submission for the agenda item 7 (b) on tonight's city
council agenda.
It is astounding that the city council would waste time discussing shortening
city council meetings because some of the recent meeting have lasted into the
wee hours of the morning. There is a simple solution: have more meetings or
start the council meetings at an earlier hour or both. There is nothing in the
law that precludes the council meeting more than twice a month. The
proposals outlined by the city manager violate Councilmembers's rights of free
speech as well as limiting public comment by residents and other interested
parties. There is no need to limit the amount of time that a city councilmember
may speak.
Our City Councilmembers knew full well when they sought election that
meetings could be lengthy. If a person didn't want to put in the required time,
that person should not be serving on the city council. I would suggest that if
any current member finds that the job is too time consuming because of the
job requirements including lengthy meetings that that member resign. Former
Torrance City Councilmember Cliff Newmark resigned from the Torrance City
Council in December 2013 to serve on the El Camino Community College
Board; his reason was that the City Council job was taking too much time
away from his being with his family.
So the Council should stop wasting time talking about trivia like the length of
meetings and work on solving some of the the real problems facing our
city: decaying infrastructure and fighting crime.

Subject: Meeting Management item 7b on tonight's agenda Please copy: city council, city manager
Dear City Council:
I am unable to come to this evenings meeting so my comments on item 7b are below:
I do not think you should limit the public speech or council speech. The city has managed to get
through 107 years of city council meeting without a need to set time limits on elected officials
opinions, questions or discussions. As our councilmembers you are elected representatives of
the community and have earned the right to speak and to engage in lively debate. The best
decisions usual come from active and sometimes detailed discussions. Watching and actively
participating in Hermosa Beach council activities for 28 years gives me some perspective and
experience in this area.
Good decisions, good discussions don't have a stop watch on them. Your 3 minutes city council
member discussion time limit is not needed or wanted by the public. If efficiency is the goal,
start with the city hall organization chart and work from the bottom up. Ending meetings at
10pm is not a good idea unless you increase city council regular meetings to once a week. All of
you were elected knowing meetings can go until midnight. If your goal was to end meetings at
10pm, you should have announced that intention while you were campaigning for office so the
voters could use that as a way to evaluate your work ethic.
Management of the agenda needs to come from the city manager, department heads with some
council input. We had this area well managed in the past and I am sure that same program can
continue once the oil issue goes to the ballot box. Don't change the city because of an oil drilling
application. Hermosa Beach residents don't want to sign up to speak or have the clerk announce
their names. For the 28 years witnessed and actively participated it has not been needed. If you
want to stifle community input put up these roadblocks, but know you are not being a true
Hermosa steward. That kinda stuff is for Redondo Beach and we have seen how that electorate
responds with their low voter turnout. If your goal is less public input, implement the
suggestions of your staff report. I would suggest you table these changes until after the oil issue
is vetted. There will be no need for this type of discussion after the issue is settled. If you make
these changes, only the ballot box will get them back to where they belong.

Why is Manhattan Beach width so stable?
•Numerous breakwaters, groins, and jetties along the coast from Santa Monica to King Harbor were constructed in the last century
•These structures have significantly reduced
littoral sediment transport to the Redondo

Manhattan Beach Future Width
•Marina Del Rey dredging now underway (1 million cu yd) includes some Dockweiler Beach offshore nourishment (majority is unsuitable and goes to Port of Long Beach)
•Natural sand sources such as Ballona Creek and Santa Monica Mountain Canyons provide insufficient sediment to (Ref 12)
•Sea level rise as much as 4 ft (model ave.) by end of century
(Ref. 13)
•Manhattan Beach will likely narrow given reduced natural sediment nourishment and sea level rise
•Except for the dunes west of LAX, dune fields that provided sand for beach nourishment are gone or exist beneath the beach cities
•At some time in the future, harvesting LAX dunes may be the best option to maintain beach width

Summary and Conclusions
•Manhattan Beach width increased approximately 250
ft due to Venice and Dockweiler Beach nourishment
operations conducted 50-70 years ago.
•Increase persists because southward littoral drift is significantly reduced by coastline structures built in the last century.
•Increased width is mainly due to human intervention and is a major coastal engineering success story
•Close coordination by federal, state, county, and MB
city is required so future nourishment opportunities,
essential to maintain beach width, are not missed.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
by and between
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
and
CALIFORNIA STATE LANDS COMMISSION
This Memorandum o Understanding ("Memorandum") is entered
into this if day of 1993, by and between the CITY OF
HERMOSA BEACH, a California municipal corporation (hereinafter the
"City") and the CALIFORNIA STATE LANDS COMMISSION, a commission of
the State of California (hereinafter the "Commission"),
This Memorandum is executed by the parties in reliance uponthe following facts:
A. Since September 21, 1985, the City has had on file before
the Commission an application for approval of an oil and gas lease
for the exploration and production of hydrocarbon products from the
tidelands area owned by the City and held in trust (the"tidelands").
B. In response to comments and direction from the Commission
in December 1985, the City has subsequently reviewed and certified
an environmental impact report for and approved and executed that
certain Oil and Gas Lease No. 2 (hereinafter the "Lease") with
Windward Associates and GLG Energy, L.P. (hereinafter together the
"Operator") to, undertake the exploration and production of
hydrocarbon products in both the tidelands and the uplands area
within the jurisdiction of the City.
C. In. response to further comments from the Commission
regarding the Lease, City and Commission desire to enter into this
Memorandum to set forth the understanding of each respective party
for the City's implementation of and performance under the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

the City tidelands and that the City has substantially complied
with the bidding provisions as required under the California Public
Resources Code._ Therefore, in accordance with Section 7061 of the
Public Resources Code, the Commission hereby determines that it
would be impractical to require the City to conduct further bidding
procedures and hereby exempts the City in issuance of the Lease
from further compliance with Sections 7058.5 and 7059 of said Code.
2. City shall make available, in a timely manner, to the
Commission all plans, specifications, reports, studies and other
related documents, as required by City for subsequent permits to be
issued by City for oil and gas exploration and production, prior to
issuance of any such permit by City in order to provide Commission
a fair opportunity for comment and advice. Such information shall
include, but is not limited to, a hazard footprint and proposedconditions under a conditional use permit.
3. The Commission acknowledges and approves that royalty
revenue from the tidelands due and payable under the Lease to the
City, shall be allocated seven percent (7%) to the City General
Fund for use of the drill site and eleven and two thirds percent(11 2/3%) to the Special Tidelands Trust Account.
4. City shall establish a Special Tidelands Trust Fund for
deposit of all royalty revenues resulting from the production of
oil and gas from the tidelands for allowable use in accordance with
Chapter 479, Statutes 1919, or as it may be amended.
5. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum
Royalty, as provided in Section 2.b.(1) of the Lease, is to secure
Operator's timely performance of exploration and production of oil
and gas in both the tidelands and the uplands. The Lease, in
Section 2.b.(2), further limits Operator's source of funds for
payment of the Minimum Royalty from restricted royalty to a maximum
of $281,250 in each year. To the extent that the City receives
payment of Minimum Royalty which is a direct result of production
from the tidelands, City shall deposit all such revenue into itsSpecial Tidelands Trust Fund.
6. The Commission shall have access to the records related
to Operator's performance under the Lease through the City. In
accordance with the terms of Section 14 of the Lease, the City has
14252.03 2.
the right to release information received from the Operator to "any
governmental agency needing the data or information to regulate the
leased lands or adjacent lands." The City has a vested interest in
insuring the accuracy of these reports and will assiduously review
and monitor the reports and records. The City shall fully
cooperate in making relevant information available to Commission to
anew the Commission to carry out its mandated oversight duties.,
- 7. The City's intent under Section 13.d.(4) is to prorate
the repayment of the Advance from all sources of royalty revenue as
received. City hereby agrees that the repayment of the Advance, as
provided in Section 13.d.(4), shall be prorated on the basis of
-
a
70/30 allocation from City's receipts of royalty revenue from the
tidelands and uplands, respectively, to the extent that such
royalty revenues from each source are available. This provision
shall not be construed to alter or change the repayment obligation
of the City to Operator to apply 50% of all royalty revenue due toCity to the Advance as provided therein.
8. The City shall request that Operator name the Commission
as an additional insured on insurance coverage provided by Operator
under the Lease provided such additional coverage does not increase
Operator's insurance premiums thereby.
9. The City shall fund its contribution to the Emergency
Trust Fund under Section 18.d.(3) based upon a 70/30 allocation of
royalty revenues received from the tidelands and uplands,
respectively. To the extent that funds are released from the
Emergency Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Lease,
City shall deposit into the Special Tidelands Trust Fund such
released funds as are attributable to royalty revenue from the
tidelands plus a prorata portion of interest accrued thereto.
10. The Commission and the City agree that the mean high tide
line, as surveyed and described on that certain "Plat of the State
Tidelands Boundary Along the Shore of the Pacific Ocean Within the
City of Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles County, California, dated
December 13, 1957 and signed by F. J. Hortig and prepared under
W.O. 2771, shall serve as the base line for the allocation of
production between the tidelands trust and all other lands. The
City further acknowledges that the mean high tide line is not a
fixed boundary and that the City shall survey the mean high tide
line from time to time in order to accurately allocate productionbetween the tidelands and all other lands.
14252.03 3.
11. The parties acknowledge that certain amendments to the
Lease will be or are agreed to between the City and Operator toaddress comments and concerns of the Commission.
IN WITNESS, WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this

STATUS REPORT ON E&B’S PROPOSED OIL DRILLING AND PRODUCTION PROJECT AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO SUBCOMMITTEE REGARDING NEGOTIATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Recommended Action: That the City Council receive and file this report. The Council may also wish to give its
subcommittee direction pertaining to negotiation points of the Development Agreement.
Final Environmental Impact Report
• A postcard was mailed to residents, and will be included as a display advertisement in the
Beach Reporter, Easy Reader and Daily Breeze, and is provided on the city’s website.
• The City EIR team interacted with the applicant prior to the finalization of the EIR.
• The Final EIR will be online on June 9th. A study session on the Final EIR with the Planning Commission is scheduled for June 18 at 6:00 p.m.
Final Cost Benefit Assessment
• Per Council direction on May 27, Kosmont Companies will respond to comments on the Cost Benefit Analysis, review pre-trial testimony, and review Historic Hermosa Beach Well Lot Data. The cost of the additional work authorized by Council was $50,000. The
cost of the overages mentioned at the May 27, 2014 City Council meeting are $25,000, bringing the total cost of the Cost Benefit Analysis to $200,000. This is paid by the City. Kosmont expects to deliver the Final CBA to the City in July, 2014. Final Health Impact Assessment
• The City’s consultant McDaniel Lambert/Intrinsik indicates the HIA will be available in July. At the May 27, 2014 Council meeting it was reported to Council that the parent company (Intrinsik) was taking the lead for the preparation of the new HIA. It was also
reported that there would be a peer review conducted by an interdependent firm prior to the report being released by them. Development Agreement
• On June 2nd, the City Development Agreement subcommittee, consisting of Mayor DiVirgilio and Councilmember Fangary, along with staff members Tom Bakaly and Michael Jenkins, met with representatives from E & B. E & B was very clear that they were not interested in negotiating public benefit items in the Development Agreement. They were willing to have the City present additional public benefits. They were willing
to discuss the form of the Development Agreement and that is attached.
2
Public Benefits Proposed by E&B, As Modified By Discussion (Changes in bold):
a) Expenditure of Oil Revenues by the City: E & B suggested that the City consider
a public process to determine what revenues from the lease would be used for, to
occur following a successful ballot measure. The City subcommittee expressed
that this should occur through normal City processes rather than a contractually
required process.
b) Supplemental School Funding: E & B proposed additional funds for the schools
to be provided by way of a separate agreement with the Education Foundation or
other non-profit organization that would cover or offset the revenues from the
lease that would go to the State. It is the City subcommittee’s position that it
would not be part of the DA. The City subcommittee thought that it might be
included in the statement of overriding considerations. E & B would now like
this item addressed in both the DA and in the statement of overriding
considerations.
c) Remedial Action Plan: E & B proposed to pay the entire cost of soils remediation
at the maintenance yard should the oil ban be lifted and the project move forward.
E & B clarified that this would be the case if the project went to Phase III – full
production. There was a discussion about what would happen if the ban was
lifted, but the project did not go forward. The City would be responsible for
cleaning up the site, the scope of such remediation dependent on the desired use.
There was discussion, but not resolution, on whether E & B would assist in the
clean-up in that instance. The City is researching the costs. At the May 27, 2014
City Council meeting, the suggestion was made that E&B pay 100% of soils
remediation as required by the City’s RAP if the project doesn’t go forward.
The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting. This
would require a separate agreement with E & B if the oil ban is not lifted by
the voters.
d) Temporary and Permanent Relocation of City Maintenance Yard: E & B proposed
to advance more funds than the $50,000 (temporary) and $500,000 (permanent)
called for in the lease. No specific figures were discussed. E & B clarified that
would entail converting the figures above into current dollars. At the May 27,
2014 City Council meeting, the suggestion was made that E & B pay the
entire cost of permanent and temporary relocation of the maintenance yard.
The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting. The also
clarified that E & B could also suggest a viable option for the temporary
relocation of the City yard.
e) Timing of Revenues: E & B proposed that the minimum royalty to the City be
paid after 1 year of drilling, rather than in the 4th year as is provided in the lease.
E & B clarified that the minimum payment would be $500,000 per each year,
3
nonrefundable. At the May 27, 2014 City Council meeting, the suggestion was
made to increase the amount of the accelerated Minimum Royalty from
$500,000 to $2 million per year, to be available for City general fund
purposes. The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting
with the caveat that it would be an advance from uplands revenue.
f) E & B Matching Funds to Achieve City Goals: E & B proposed additional funds
to the City, beyond the royalties, on a 50/50 matching basis for “off-set” projects
such as converting the City fleet to be carbon neutral and undergrounding of
utilities. E & B stated that it would refine this further and return with a more
specific proposal. In response to comments from Council on May 27, 2014,
the City subcommittee clarified that there might be interest in considering
projects involving youth programs.
g) Benefits to Nearby Property Owners: Similar to its project in Huntington Beach,
E & B proposed setting up and funding an account that would stabilize proven
impacts to property values for 5 years (during drilling) for properties in close
proximity to the project. E & B clarified that the timeframe was undecided at this
time. It further clarified that the residents would need to voluntarily apply for this
program. A more detailed program proposal was promised. In response to
comments from Council on May 27, 2014, the City subcommittee clarified
that the term “proven impacts” would need to be precisely defined.
Proposals by the City for inclusion in the Development Agreement: a) Acceptable limits of insurance coverage.
b) An explicit ban on the practice of fracking.
c) Inclusion of all mitigation measures from the FEIR and other conditions of
approval.
d) At the City Council meeting of May 27, 2014, it was suggested that if the
ballot measure passes, E & B agree to forgive the $17.5M debt, even if E & B
ultimately does not obtain other required approvals or proceed with the
project. The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting
e) At the City Council meeting of May 27, 2014, it was suggested that E & B pay
a street damage fee to compensate for asphalt wear and tear due to the
anticipated truck traffic. The City subcommittee made this request at the
June 2nd meeting
f) The City’s legal counsel suggested that the City negotiate a condition
requiring that upon expiration of the lease, the maintenance yard site be
4
returned to the City in a specified condition. The City subcommittee made
this request at the June 2nd meeting.
g) Expiration of Lease – The City subcommittee requested that if the voters did
not lift the oil ban, then the lease would expire.

STATUS REPORT ON E&B’S PROPOSED OIL DRILLING AND PRODUCTION PROJECT AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO SUBCOMMITTEE REGARDING NEGOTIATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Recommended Action: That the City Council receive and file this report. The Council may also wish to give its
subcommittee direction pertaining to negotiation points of the Development Agreement.
Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
• A postcard was mailed to residents and will be included as a display advertisement in the
Beach Reporter, Easy Reader and Daily Breeze; it is also provided on the city’s website.
• The City EIR team interacted with the applicant prior to the finalization of the EIR in
order to address their concerns that the FEIR had not sufficiently considered E&B’s
comments and submittals on the draft EIR.
• The City’s Parks and Recreation ((P&R) Commission on June 3rd was provided a
Presentation on the Oil Project Draft Environmental Impact Report in Relation to Parks
and Recreation by Ed Almanza, the City’s Project Manager. While the P&R Commission passed a motion that the Planning Commission recommend not certifying the Final EIR, staff notes that the matter was not agendized to allow action and this Commission has no jurisdiction with regard to CEQA. Therefore, staff advises that the
P&R Commission’s action has no relevance or effect as regards the CEQA process.
• The Final EIR will be online on June 9th at www.hermosabch.org. A study session on the Final EIR with the Planning Commission is scheduled for June 18 at 6:00 p.m., City Council Chambers. Staff will briefly highlight major EIR changes on June 10th.
Final Cost Benefit Assessment (CBA)
• Per Council direction on May 27, Kosmont Companies will respond to comments on the
Cost Benefit Analysis, review pre-trial testimony, and review historic Hermosa Beach well lot data. The cost of the additional work authorized by Council was $50,000. The cost of the overages mentioned at the May 27, 2014 City Council meeting are $25,000, bringing the total cost of the Cost Benefit Analysis to $200,000. This is paid by the City. Kosmont expects to deliver the Final CBA to the City in July, 2014.
Final Health Impact Assessment (HIA)
• The City’s consultant McDaniel Lambert/Intrinsik indicates the HIA will be available in
July. At the May 27, 2014 Council meeting it was reported to Council that the parent
2
company (Intrinsik) was taking the lead for the preparation of the new HIA. It was also reported that there would be a peer review conducted by an independent firm.
Development Agreement
• On June 2nd, the City Development Agreement subcommittee, consisting of Mayor DiVirgilio and Councilmember Fangary, along with staff members Tom Bakaly and
Michael Jenkins, and outside counsel Tom Henry of the Stoel Rives firm met with
representatives from E & B. E & B representatives made it clear that they do not believe that public benefits can be negotiated as long as the CBA and HIA are not final. They were willing to have the City present additional public benefits for their consideration and the City team did that. They were also willing to discuss the form of the
Development Agreement with legal counsel. The current working version of the
Development Agreement is attached, excluding exhibits. Public Benefits Proposed by E&B, As Modified By Discussion (Changes in bold):
a) Expenditure of Oil Revenues by the City: E & B suggested that the City consider

proximity to the project. E & B clarified that the timeframe was undecided at this time. It further clarified that the residents would need to voluntarily apply for this program. A more detailed program proposal was promised. In response to comments from Council on May 27, 2014, the City subcommittee clarified
that the term “proven impacts” would need to be precisely defined.
Proposals by the City for inclusion in the Development Agreement: a) Acceptable limits of insurance coverage.
b) An explicit ban on the practice of fracking. c) Inclusion of all mitigation measures from the FEIR and other conditions of approval.
d) At the City Council meeting of May 27, 2014, it was suggested that if the ballot measure passes, E & B agree to forgive the $17.5M debt, even if E & B ultimately does not obtain other required approvals or proceed with the project. The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting.

e) At the City Council meeting of May 27, 2014, it was suggested that E & B pay a street damage fee to compensate for asphalt wear and tear due to the
anticipated truck traffic. The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting. f) The City’s legal counsel suggested that the City negotiate a condition requiring that upon expiration of the lease, the maintenance yard site be
returned to the City in a specified condition. The City subcommittee made this request at the June 2nd meeting. g) Expiration of Lease – the City subcommittee requested that if the voters did not lift the oil ban, then E&B would agree that the lease would expire. This
would require a separate agreement with E & B if the oil ban is not lifted by the voters. As noted above, E&B representatives did not respond to the new (bolded) proposals.

Introduction
The City of Hermosa Beach aspires to be distinguished as the
‘leader in sustainability’ by becoming ‘a more livable and
sustainable beach city’. Residents already know the City of
Hermosa Beach as the “best little beach city” in the South Bay,
but with progressive goals in sustainability, they are striving for
more. The 1.43 square miles which comprises the city is home to
nearly 20,000 residents with a median household income of
$100,696. Together they consume approximately 78 GWh of
electricity per year and are served by Southern California Edison
(SCE), an investor owned utility (IOU).1 Over the past few years,
the city has sought to integrate sustainability into its municipal
operations and community as a whole. They have already led several successful ventures in
order to reach their ultimate goal of becoming a carbon neutral municipality. This goal was set in
2010 by the City of Hermosa Beach to source all municipal and community operations from
renewable sources. Other notable achievements in sustainability include becoming the first
South Bay City to join the ‘Cool Cities’ Initiative, completing a municipal GHG (greenhouse gas)
inventory, creating The Green Task Force, and more (see below).

What Are the Options?
Three subjects of concern became the focal point or our research and recommendations:
Energy Efficiency, Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) and SCE’s Green Tariff Shared
Renewables (GTSR) program.
Energy Efficiency was considered as a means to reduce electricity use and thus the
complications associated with introducing increased renewable resources to the power supply.
Understanding the methods of electricity delivery and distribution was also necessary for
determining how renewable energy can provide and maintain customers’ current standards.
This topic examined more immediate steps that the City of Hermosa Beach can use to
decarbonize electricity. The rest of the research was focused on two policy options: a CCA and
SCE’s GTSR program. A CCA is a program that allows communities to choose their sources of
electricity. Residents, along with their local governing boards, have the ability to select their
energy sources, allowing for the possibility of a completely renewable electricity supply. The
newly created GTSR program offered by SCE allows another opportunity for ratepayers to
access a higher portfolio of renewable energy. This option works with the existing utility and
infrastructure to provide decarbonized electricity at a premium price. The advantages,
disadvantages and technical requirements of each option were carefully analyzed to ensure a
suitable recommendation for the City of Hermosa Beach.
Energy Efficiency
Renewable energy resources alone are not enough to supply all electricity if energy use
continues following current trends. Energy efficiency and renewable energies must grow
together in order to make a significant difference in the carbon emissions associated with
electricity generation. If more renewable energy is implemented without increasing efficiency,
energy use will still continue to grow. This means that renewable energy use will only prevent a
growth in carbon emissions as opposed to enabling energy companies to retire or curtail
operations at generation facilities that produce electricity by burning fossil fuels3. Additionally,
unlike the implementation of renewable energy sources, efficiency improvements usually result
in a negative cost to the consumer because initial investments are paid off over time from the
reduced electricity costs. Ultimately, decreasing current carbon emissions requires a
combination of both renewable electricity generation and energy efficiency efforts.
Property Assessed Clean Energy
Electricity efficiency improvements can also become more viable through Property Assessed
Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs. PACE provides financing for energy efficiency
upgrades and renewable energy installation through property tax assessments. This is usually
3 (Prindle, Eldridge, Eckhardt, & Frederick, 2007)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 6
more manageable than fronting the entire cost. These costs also
remain a part of the property taxes if the property is sold, so home
and business owners do not have to worry about losing their
investment if they move.
LA PACE is an example of a PACE program available only to
commercial buildings, such as offices, hotels, apartment buildings,
etc. The City of Hermosa Beach is already eligible for the LA PACE
program, so the next step would be encouraging local businesses to
invest in these efficiency upgrades. The Home Energy Renovation
Opportunity (HERO) program is an example of a newly created
residential PACE program in California, which jointly finances energy efficiency improvements
and renewable energy. This program operates by “using affirmative acknowledgements from the
first lien holders, conservative underwriting requirements, and/or signed disclosures regarding
FHF concerns and risks”4. The HERO program has been operating successfully in Riverside
County since 2011. In June 2013, Orange County entered into a memorandum of understanding
with the Western Riverside Council of Governments to facilitate the introduction of the HERO
program there as well.5
Home Energy Renewable Opportunity
HERO is also poised to become available in Los Angeles County in 2014. Initially, the
renovations covered will include insulation, water and electricity efficiency improvements,
windows and entry doors, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, HVAC and whole house fans,
and photovoltaic solar panels6. As a part of Los Angeles County, the City of Hermosa Beach will
be eligible to take advantage of the HERO program when it is implemented, which is expected
soon. Also, as the program proves to be successful and economically profitable, as it has in
Riverside County, it is possible that more energy efficiency improvements and renewable
energy sources, such as thermal solar water heating systems, will become available for
residents. These programs allow residents to lower their electricity use without being intimidated
by a hefty price tag. Through these easily implemented changes, there is potential for great
energy saving and even the possibility of a carbon neutral city.

Rooftop Solar
Geographical Information Systems analysis
shows that if all residential units of the City of
Hermosa Beach were to install rooftop solar
panels, they would generate 56.8 GWh of
electrical power in a year 7. This is more than
two thirds of the city’s annual electricity
demand. If all rooftops in the city, including
residential units, were covered with solar
panels, they would generate a total of 76.2
GWh per year, almost the entire city’s annual
electricity demand.8
Rooftop solar has tremendous potential to provide carbon neutral electricity for the city, but
there are also technical challenges that come with heavy reliance on rooftop solar.
What is Distributed Generation?
Localized energy, also known as distributed generation, is generally defined as energy-
generating systems that are 20 MW or smaller, or interconnected on-site or close to the
electricity demand. Localized energy can be constructed quickly with no new transmission lines,
and typically have no environmental impact.9 California defines distributed generation as fuels
and technologies that are accepted as renewable for purposes of Renewable Portfolio Standard
(RPS), 20 MW or smaller, and located within low-voltage distribution grid or supply power
directly to consumer. 10 Rooftop solar panels are an example of distributed generation.
Why is Distributed Generation a Challenge to the Grid?
With significant penetration of distributed generation, the distribution network is no longer a
passive circuit supplying loads but an active system with power flows and voltages determined
by the generation as well as the load.11 Due to the unpredictable behavior of renewable energy
sources, the installation and connection of distributed generation units will affect system
frequency. They will free-ride on the efforts of the grid operator to fix deviations and imbalances
7 (DeShazo, J,R,, Matulka, R., Wong, N., 2011) 8 Ibid. 9 (Shlatz, E., Buch, N., & Chan, M., 2013) 10 (Weisenmiller, R., 2014) 11 (Mahmud, M. A., Hossain, M. J., & Pota, H. R., 2011)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 8
of electricity supply and demand.12
Secondly, the introduction of bidirectional power flow in distribution lines with the installation of
distributed generation is another challenge. Typically, power flows unidirectionally, from higher
to lower voltage levels, in other words from generation to transmissions lines then finally to
distribution lines.13 That is how the grid and all of its infrastructure is designed to operate, to
supply electricity from power plants to consumers. However, distributed generation produces
and exports electricity back into the grid. This scenario can be compared to introducing two-way
traffic to a one-way street. The one-way street, with its traffic lights and signs, operate to
coordinate one-way traffic only. The street will require modifications and improvements to safely
and reliably handle two-way traffic. Similarly, the current grid system will need upgrades and
modifications to reliably handle bidirectional power. For example, transformer’s must have tap-
changers capable of operating with reverse power flow.14
A third challenge is a phenomenon known as the voltage rise effect. Given that distributed
generation units can export electricity back into the grid, the voltage in a network with distributed
generation is directly proportional to the amount of active power supplied by the distributed
generators.15 In other words, heavy distributed generation penetration increases the voltage
level in a local distribution network. This is problematic because the voltage level at each
connection point of the load is very important for the electricity power quality. There is typically a
defined steady-state voltage range, or a maximum permitted voltage variation in a distribution in
a distribution network.16 Hence, the voltage rise effect caused by distributed generation could
jeopardize power quality locally.
What are the Challenges to Rooftop Solar?
Southern California has plenty of sunshine and the City of Hermosa Beach is no exception,
making rooftop solar a relatively popular choice for distributed generation. Solar insolation is the
amount of energy received by the sun at the earth’s surface. On a clear day, approximately
1,000 watts per meter squared reaches the earth’s surface, perpendicular to the incoming
radiation.17 Currently, it is thermodynamically impossible for solar panels to be more than a
hundred percent efficient, meaning the highest possible energy a square meter of solar panels
can generate will never be greater than 1,000 watts. In reality, the most common solar panels
that are compliant with California’s SB1 guidelines are on average about 15% efficient.18 This
means that under ideal weather conditions, a square meter of photovoltaic panels generates
only about 150 watts of electricity. Furthermore, solar panels only generate electricity during the
day. With these constraints, it is nearly impossible for a home to completely rely on rooftop solar
alone, unless it is paired with battery storage or remains connected to the grid.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 9
Rooftop solar has been encouraged by SCE’s Net Energy Metering program. Under this
program, homes install rooftop solar panels while remaining connected to the grid. During the
day, rooftop solar panels generate electricity for the house and any surplus electricity not
consumed is sent back onto the grid. At night when solar panels no longer generate electricity,
the house is provided with electricity from the grid. This can also be used for commercial
buildings. Under this program, even with rooftop solar, the buildings are still dependent on grid-
supplied electricity. Since the rooftop solar panels are connected to the grid, the technical
problems of distributed generation described previously apply as well.
It is true that rooftop solar has tremendous potential, especially with the ample solar capacity in
the City of Hermosa Beach. However, with current technology and existing infrastructure,
significant integration of distributed generation into the grid could jeopardize reliability and
power quality.
What is the Pathway to Future Grid Improvements?
The current electricity grid system is not well suited for high levels of distributed generation
penetration. Various grid upgrades are required to allow the City of Hermosa Beach to efficiently
and reliably utilize the locally available renewable energy sources. Once adequate grid
upgrades are made, such as improving infrastructure to support bidirectional power and
installing energy storage units, the city could take greater advantage of its estimated 76.2 GWh
solar potential.
Currently SCE owns the transmissions infrastructure and facilities that operate in the City of
Hermosa Beach. It is unlikely that SCE will institute the necessary grid upgrades in the near
future due to economic restrictions. However, the residents of the City of Hermosa Beach could
vote to establish a municipal utility district (MUD), allowing the city jurisdiction over providing
electricity to the district residents. Once a municipal utility district is formed, it can negotiate the
purchase of SCE’s existing grid infrastructure in the city and make necessary upgrades to the
system to allow for the integration of distributed generation sources.
Green Tariff Shared Renewables
Another option for the City of Hermosa Beach to
decarbonize electricity deliveries is to turn to the newly
created GTSR program by SCE. The Green Rate
program is a brand new addition to SCE’s service plan
mandated by California Senate Bill 43. As a
requirement of this legislation, utilities will begin to offer
programs equivalent to the Green Rate program outline. Each program offers ratepayers an
opportunity to buy high-percentage renewable energy directly from their service provider.
Currently, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is reviewing SCE’s program
proposal to see if it meets the qualifications set by SB 43.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 10
Once approved, ratepayers in the City of Hermosa Beach can purchase fifty or one-hundred
percent renewable power on the GTSR program. Demand from local residents will be filled with
the 269 MW of power allocated to SCE for their service area. Enrollment in this rate begins
twelve months after approval of the proposal by CPUC. Customers are free to cancel their
subscription once enrolled, but must wait one year before re-enrollment. Four methods of
enrollment will be provided: online web portal, SCE call center, paper form, or account manager.
Customers who choose enrollment in the GTSR program are charged extra fees for electricity
generation. These costs go to renewable integration, market participation, program
administration, the green rate portfolio, and resource adequacy costs. Renewable Energy
Certificates (REC) created from subscriptions shall be retired on behalf of the customer, which
means the customer can claim the environmental benefits of renewable energy. In order to
promote this new option, SCE proposes to market to households currently in Bundled Service
as well as outreach to low income customers. Lastly, SCE intends to establish a Green Balance
Account to separate extra costs incurred to the company from renewable energy procurement.
Through this mechanism, SCE will determine Green Rate program prices accurately, without
shifting expenditure costs onto non-participants.
As it stands, the Green Rate program with SCE could provide an avenue for the City of
Hermosa Beach to reach carbon neutral electricity generation. However, due to the price,
structure, and the legislation’s sunset date this is not the best option for the city.
Price is a primary concern voiced by groups tracking the progression of each utilities’ proposals
including the Green Rate. The City of San Francisco cites concern over the generalized nature
of the cost structure proposed by (Pacific Gas and Electric) PG&E and the Interstate Renewable
Energy Council (IREC) demands a new rate design on the basis that program participants will
bear a large cost for benefits ultimately shared with all ratepayers.19 20 These critiques, coupled
with the fact that an amendment to the Green Rate was already filed by SCE, increases fees,
clearly displays the high probability of rate fluctuation21. These rate fluctuations put the
customers of the City of Hermosa Beach at the mercy of the utility. The relatively large cost
premium may dissuade City of Hermosa Beach from joining the program, especially as prices
will fluctuate in the future, minimizing enrollment and thus the amount of energy demanded from
renewable sources.22 For this reason, it is recommended that city seeks an alternative solution.
To clearly display the increase in premium to a rate-payer bill when switching to the Green Rate,
take an average household using 329 kWh over a month period. See Table 2 below for a
comparison of this customer’s bill on the general SCE service versus the Green Rate for a
month period.

Though the customer receives service of 100% renewable energy directly from the utility on the
Green Rate, they pay a significant premium each month. As shown in other sections of this
report, there are ratepayers under CCA jurisdictions paying a much smaller premium, for the
same service of renewable energy. Thus, it is recommended that residents of the City of
Hermosa Beach pursue the formation of CCA to ensure a lower rate for renewable energy.
What Does Senate Bill 43 Mean to the GTSR Program?
Programs for renewable energy will be monitored by the CPUC, however they are ultimately run
by the utility. SB 43 stipulates that each supervising utility procure renewable energy from local
sources.23 However, the proximity from the source of generation to the customer is not defined
by the legislation, therefore leaving it up to the utilities’ discretion. Surely this is an effort by
legislators to make GTSR programs both economically and technically feasible for each utility,
but it also concerns stakeholders. This could be an avenue for IOU’s to seek distant renewable
sources rather than investing in local generation. According to SCE’s proposal, the utility plans
to use its current renewable energy resources that are in excess to RPS goals to fill Green Rate
subscriptions.24 IREC points out that this does not serve the mission of SB 43 because it does
not create new resources for generation, unlike San Diego Gas and Electric’s (SDG&E) and
PG&E’s procurement plan.25 This is just a singular example of how SCE’s control of the
23 (California State Legislature, 2013) 24 (Southern California Edison, 2014) 25 (Interstate Renewable Energy Council, 2014)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 12
program could lessen the benefit of Green Rate subscriptions. In this situation, SCE also falls
short of the other utilities again, displaying their resistance to these legislative changes. Their
behavior should be accounted for as ratepayers within the limits of the City of Hermosa Beach
will be subject to SCE’s business preferences. Considering the City of Hermosa Beach is opting
to institute renewable energy as part of a larger sustainable mission, their choices could affect
greater impact if made autonomously.
SB 43 provides support for GTSR programs until January 1, 2019.26 Without continued support
from the legislation it is unclear what will happen to established GTSR programs. The overall
goal is to expand the supply of renewable resources for the future, however SB 43 runs out just
before RPS goals in 2020.27 Any number of possibilities arises from after this deadline. For
example, utilities could cease to offer their respective GTSR programs and reallocate these
renewable resources to reach their RPS goal the next year. The fate of GTSR programs,
including the Green Rate is unclear after SB 43’s deadline. An option with greater longevity
would better serve the City of Hermosa Beach.
Community Choice Aggregation
The establishment of a CCA, allowed by the
implementation of AB 117, is yet another
method to possibly increase decarbonized
electricity in the City of Hermosa Beach.
Under a CCA, the community can specifically
allocate sources of electricity generation.
Thus, a CCA gives autonomy to the City of
Hermosa Beach to select zero emissions
energy and accomplish their goal of carbon
neutrality. Furthermore, a CCA is structured
such that the public utility would continue their
role of long range transmission, community distribution, and billing. As a result, IOUs will
continue with such duties and would charge a fee for their services. In order to offset the
additional charges of IOUs’ services, the City of Hermosa Beach may consider implementing a
Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The formation of a JPA will be beneficial as it will integrate
progressive cities into the CCA to divide costs. Collectively, a CCA would give the City of
Hermosa Beach control over its sources of electricity procurement, but a JPA is a plausible
solution to mitigate the additional surcharges.28
Will A Community Choice Aggregation Raise My Taxes?
No, a Community Choice Aggregation is completely revenue funded which will require zero tax
26 (California State Legislature, 2013) 27 Ibid. 28 (Lean Energy U.S., 2014)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 13
dollars from customers or participating communities. A CCA is a local not-for-profit agency that
is generally overseen by elected officials or their appointees and managed by a hired staff or a
contracted service provider.
What Are Benefits of a Community Choice Aggregation?
The incorporation of city officials ensures that energy procurement decisions are made in light of
the community’s goals. If the City of Hermosa Beach started a CCA, it would have a greater
level of control in energy policies. CCA programs provide various benefits to the regions that
they serve. These benefits are directly related to the nature of a CCA which allows local
governments, rather than the IOU, to make decisions about power procurement. Currently, SCE
performs the task of power procurement for the City of Hermosa Beach. In all areas of the state
not served by an established CCA or a direct access agreement, customers do not choose from
where and how their energy is produced. A CCA transfers the authority from the IOU to the
community, so that community members along with their local governing board can decide how
their electricity is purchased and generated. Further a CCA could provide competition for both
lower rates and for a higher percentage of renewables in electricity generation.
How Do CCA Rates Compare to IOU Rates?
Due to the bulk power purchases a CCA makes, it possesses greater leverage upon the
negotiation of rates with independent power producers (IPP). Therefore, there can be a potential
expansion in the market for competitively priced renewable power generation. The two CCAs
that are currently operational in California are Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and Sonoma Clean
Power (SCP). Both CCAs were able to provide their customers with more renewable energy
rates that are slightly lower than their IOU, PG&E. This is shown in Tables 2 and 3.

CCAs in California have proven to offer competitive rates compared to current energy providers
while increasing the renewable energy load. However, customers do need to pay more than
usual to receive energy from 100% renewable sources. Due to its longer existence, MCE has
had more time to refine its program by establishing better financial practices and acquiring more
energy procurement contracts, and therefore can offer a higher renewable portfolio standard for
the cheaper option.
Why is Public Engagement Crucial to a CCA?
Public engagement is crucial for the operation of a CCA as it is established on the basis of
community choice. The effectiveness of a CCA increases significantly with a larger customer
base, thus this is a pivotal element of a successful program. In order to accomplish this, energy
consultants from Navigant Consulting recommend “incorporation of a more comprehensive
community engagement and education program to motivate residents and businesses to do
their part in addressing climate change.”31 This means that outreach and education will be
imperative to evoke participation. Through these programs, the public can learn the details of a
CCA, including the process, impacts and benefits. For example, open council meetings offer
opportunities for citizens to learn about the operation and establishment of a CCA while also
voicing their concerns. These and other similar forums increase transparency and public
awareness, allowing for a CCA to truly represent the popular interest. Additionally, the
knowledge that individual input can significantly impact a city’s policy increases resident
involvement and satisfaction. Therefore, when residents pay electricity bills, they feel confident
that their money is spent locally in the way that they want.
What Are The Customer Options Under a CCA?
Once a CCA program is established, each customer has the option to participate or opt out. The
two CCAs currently operating in California provide the opportunity for customers to decide
between two levels of renewable energy usage. In the case of MCE, customers that do not opt-
out of the program start at a base level of 50% renewable energy but have a choice of
upgrading to 100% renewable energy usage. SCP customers default to 33% or choose 100%.
30 (Sonoma Clean Power, 2014) 31 (The County of Santa Barbara, 2012)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 15
Opting Out
Under AB 117, when a CCA program is established in a community, all customers within its
jurisdiction are transferred over to service by the CCA unless they opt out. If a customer
chooses to opt out, they remain with the existing utility. Each customer must be given two
notices of their opportunity to opt out of their community’s program before being enrolled and
two notices after they are enrolled during the first two billing cycles. If the customer has not
opted out after these four notices, no additional notices will be given and they will continue to be
enrolled in the CCA.
California law requires that there be no consequences to opting out. However, if a customer
does opt out, they cannot return to CCA service until one and a half years have passed.
Speaking with MCE account manager Ben Choi, he further explained that if an opt out occurs
after the initial sixty days of service, such as 4 months into having service with MCE, then the
re-enrollment waiting period would be in effect. If, however, the customer opts out before
enrollment in MCE, or within the first couple of months of service, the customer would be eligible
to enroll in MCE at any time.32 The information from Mr. Choi shows that customers that opt out
before sixty days of service are able to opt in again before having to wait the full time period.
This is important because some residents might later understand the financial and
environmental benefits of participating in a CCA and wish to resume enrollment.
Different Renewable Energy Options in the Program
MCE customers have the option to choose between 50% and 100% renewables options, while
SCP customers can choose between the 33% and the 100% renewables program. Offering an
option with a lower portfolio of renewable resources allows the CCA to remain price competitive
with the utility, however it decreases the amount of carbon mitigated by the CCA’s service
(Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for price comparison). In the case of MCE, enrollment in the Light-
Green option is much more significant compared to the Deep Green option, comprising 74.4%
versus 1.44% of all ratepayers respectively.33 This means that most of MCE subscribers are
demanding an energy load comprised of only half renewable energy, while the rest is supplied
by non-renewable sources with significant emissions factors. Unfortunately, if the City of
Hermosa Beach were to offer similar options, a high subscription rate to the less expensive plan
is expected, resulting in a smaller reduction of carbon emissions. However, the amount of
carbon emissions produced by CCA procurement is still less than created by SCE’s general
energy mix because overall there is a higher content of renewable resources being provided.
Nevertheless, the impact of CCA formation is still decreased because less carbon is mitigated
through enrollment of a partial renewables plan as opposed to a completely renewable energy
load.

Community Choice Aggregation via a Joint Powers Authority
The analysis of CCAs shows that pursuing this option is the most feasible method of delivering
zero emission energy to the City of Hermosa Beach at a cost competitive with existing electricity
rates. Furthermore, the possibility of forming a JPA with other cities to minimize costs and risks
borne by the City of Hermosa Beach makes the option more economically viable.
A CCA grants a local authority decision-making powers over energy procurement. Under the
existing utility model, SCE makes such procurement decisions. But under a CCA, control is
given to the city, or cities in a JPA situation. Thus, the City of Hermosa Beach does not have to
be under the scrutiny of SCE and can be more proactive in their decision making, potentially
electing to only utilize carbon neutral electricity. For example, customers under SCE’s current
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 17
tiered rate system are subject to the fuel mix and costs that the utility offers. This is controlled by
state legislation, the RPS, and CPUC regulation. However, a CCA can form contracts with IPPs
that specify the sources of energy that should be utilized and the price the CCA is willing to pay.
Thus the City of Hermosa Beach has more autonomy through formation of a CCA.
Moreover, the Marin and Sonoma County CCAs have shown that delivering clean energy can
be competitively priced compared to the conventional utility rate. In order to reduce the price
premium of zero-GHG electricity, the City of Hermosa Beach should follow Marin and Sonoma’s
footsteps and establish a JPA. The formation of a JPA with the City of Hermosa Beach and
other cities interested in pursuing zero-GHG electricity would increase the CCA’s aggregate
electricity demand. This will in turn give the CCA increased bargaining power and induce
negotiations with a larger selection of potential IPPs to conjure power at competitive rates.
Furthermore, the initial costs for the start up of a CCA will be divided among the cities involved;
thus fixed costs such as staffing, promotion, and service fees will be partitioned accordingly.
The formation of a CCA via a JPA may be the most cost-effective method of delivering carbon
neutral energy to the City of Hermosa Beach because the fixed costs will be divided among the
cities involved and the generation costs, which are variable, will be negotiated with increased
bargaining power.
What are the Disadvantages of Forming a CCA?
Potential disadvantages in forming a CCA include excessive surcharges by the IOU, customers
opting out of the program, and the potential for the relatively small City of Hermosa Beach to
have their priorities diluted in a larger JPA. Existing JPAs are structured to give more votes and
board members to the cities that have the largest energy demand. Thus if the City of Hermosa
Beach is on the smaller scale of electricity consumption, their influence over decisions within the
JPA will be reduced.
Moreover, customers are legally allowed to opt-out of the CCA. If the CCA’s rates are high
compared to SCE’s rates, they may choose to do so. In this case, the City of Hermosa Beach’s
goal of having 100% carbon neutral electricity will be difficult. Thus, the City of Hermosa Beach
should follow the examples of Marin and Sonoma, offering two rate options: a cost-competitive
“light green” option in addition to a 100% renewable option. The City of Hermosa Beach, or the
JPA it joins, can increase the percentage of renewables in the cost-competitive option over time,
as Marin has done. In this way, the CCA can move customers toward a higher concentration of
renewable energy.
Why Should the City of Hermosa Beach Pursue a Joint Powers Authority?
Despite these drawbacks of a CCA, we still recommend that the City of Hermosa Beach create
a JPA. To mitigate the risk that competing priorities in a JPA would jeopardize the city’s long-
term goal of carbon neutral electricity, the JPA and CCA charter could include certain
provisions. For example, a provision requiring a 100% renewable option and that the JPA
continually increase the percentage of renewables in the cost-competitive rate option, would
ensure the City of Hermosa’s priorities are continually advanced .
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 18
The current regulation guiding CCA formation is far more attractive to establishing a viable
electricity decarbonization pathway than the procedures for individual customers to join the
GTSR program. The CCA option allows customers to opt-out of a CCA, while SEC’s Green
Rate will require customers to opt-in. The percentage of customers who explicitly opt-out is far
less than those expected to opt-in to the Green Rate. MCE currently has an opt-out rate of
23.6%.34 Thus 76.4% of the residents will be served by the CCA and will be provided with
renewable energy, which is much greater participation in comparison with enrollment rates of
opt in programs. Despite not having full participation, this formality of a CCA induces more
participation than SCE’s Green Rate, an opt-in program which is projected to have an
enrollment rate of 0.5%.35 This lack of participation stems from the fact that asking customers to
actively reach out, making a choice different from the status quo, creates a barrier to enrollment
in the program. This comes from the unwillingness of the customer to take the time and effort to
switch from the default service. The Green Rate’s projected participation rate of 0.5% will not
allow the City of Hermosa Beach to make meaningful progress toward its goal of 100% carbon
neutral electricity.
What Does Assembly Bill 2145 Mean for Community Choice Aggregation?
A bill currently before the California State Legislature, AB 2145, would significantly change the
regulation governing CCA program establishment. If passed and signed in its current form, AB
2145 would require all future CCAs to become opt-in programs. This would decrease CCA
program participation rates, perhaps to levels similar to that projected for the GTSR program.
Because CCAs would aggregate less electricity demand, they would have less bargaining
power when negotiating contracts. This would all-but-eliminate the ability of CCAs to provide
cost-competitive rates with higher renewable content as compared to the utility. The City of
Hermosa Beach should consider formally opposing AB 2145 in order to preserve their options to
decarbonize the city’s electricity in pursuit of aggressive GHG emissions reductions. AB 2145
passed the Assembly in late May. It still must be approved by the Senate and signed into law
by the governor in order to take effect. The bill will apply to any customer not enrolled in a
CPUC-approved CCA by January 1, 2015. Given time needed to establish a CCA and roll-out to
customers, it will be extremely difficult for Hermosa Beach to establish or join a CCA so that
customers default into a program before this date.
The City of Lancaster
The City of Hermosa Beach can further investigate the feasibility of a CCA by analyzing the City
of Lancaster’s progress toward creation of a CCA. The City of Lancaster is similarly in SCE’s
service territory. Thus the City of Hermosa Beach can monitor the proceedings in Lancaster,
Their experience as the first CCA in SCE territory will reduce some costs and risks to Hermosa
Beach, should the city decide to create a separate CCA in Lancaster’s footsteps.
Perhaps a more attractive option for the City of Hermosa Beach is to join Lancaster as CCA
pioneers in SCE territory. Lancaster, as of 2011, created a JPA titled the Lancaster Power
34 (Choi, 2014)
35 (California Energy Commission, 2014)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 19
Authority (LPA). Through the LPA, Lancaster seeks to establish a CCA. Currently, Lancaster
has sent a Statement of Intent to the CPUC and is awaiting correspondence. Approval from the
CPUC would allow Lancaster to move forward and begin enrolling customers as soon as May
2015. The project manager for the LPA stated that Lancaster is waiting for the outcome of AB
2145. Lancaster cannot expedite forming its CCA by enrolling customers before May 2015.36
This means much of Lancaster’s success hinges on the legislative outcome of AB 2145. All in
all Lancaster could serve as an example or partner in renewable energy procurement for the
City of Hermosa Beach. Lancaster is located in the Mojave Desert, near the Tehachapi Pass -
two of the best areas for renewable generation in the state. This abundance of opportunity to
build renewable energy infrastructure could work to power the energy needs of the larger
Southern California area.
However, Hermosa Beach may sacrifice some local control by joining a non-adjacent CCA,
such as Lancaster. A multi-city CCA is governed by a JPA that must have public meetings. If
these meetings are geographically remote to Hermosa Beach, public participation in the
oversight process may be hindered. Furthermore, contiguous cities are more likely to have
similar interests, problems, and future goals, whereas cities that are farther away may have
different goals. Thus a non-contiguous CCA, such as the City of Lancaster’s, may not be as
beneficial to the City of Hermosa Beach as a contiguous CCA in the South Bay.
Who Are Possible Candidates for a Local JPA?
If the City of Hermosa Beach created a JPA, the most likely candidates to join would be other
cities in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County.
36 (Swan, 2014)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 20
Figure 1. Map of the South Bay Cities37
Within the South Bay, five cities stand out as the most likely to join a CCA based on voting in
relevant propositions, proximity to the City of Hermosa Beach, energy load and other factors.
Below is a projection of how the estimated $1.7 million in start-up costs could be spread among
the communities in accordance to their electricity consumption and how much the City of
Hermosa Beach would have to pay in this scenario.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 21
Figure 2. Pie Chart of CCA Start-Up Cost Split Amongst 5 Cities According to their
Consumption
A JPA for a CCA does not need to be contiguous and cities who are not connected to the City of
Hermosa Beach geographically can be a part of a CCA. In addition to the CCA options in the
South Bay, there are other cities that Hermosa Beach could look to in forming a JPA. Though
creating a non-contiguous CCA may not be as beneficial, the possibility of their inclusion should
not be dismissed. The cities below have either been proven to be environmentally progressive
or have populations over 100,000 making them candidates in the forming of a CCA in the
Greater Los Angeles area.
Ultimately, the process to achieve carbon neutrality will take time and should not be rushed. In
order to establish an effective CCA, the City of Hermosa Beach should invest adequate time
and money to form a strong JPA and for a private company to produce a feasibility report. The
creation of a CCA will take place over a period of years, but, as shown in Chapter 5, it will likely
not take as long as previous programs in Marin and Sonoma. With the formation of each
subsequent CCA in California, the amount of time required for establishment has reduced. This
is shown in Table 4 below.

Conclusion
After evaluating the options described above, our recommendation to the City of Hermosa
Beach is to pursue energy efficiency and form a CCA via a JPA. After these measures have
been carried out Hermosa Beach should pursue forming a MUD. This would require that the
CCA generate enough funds to purchase the distribution system from SCE. This will allow the
city to take advantage of their local solar potential by making the necessary grid upgrades.
These options will assist the City of Hermosa Beach in reaching its goal of attaining carbon
neutral electricity.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The City of Hermosa Beach aspires to be distinguished as the ‘leader in sustainability’ by becoming ‘a
more livable and sustainable beach city’. Residents already know the City of Hermosa Beach as the “best
little beach city” in the South Bay, but with progressive goals in sustainability, they are striving for more.
The 1.43 square miles which comprises the city is home to nearly 20,000 residents with a median
household income of $100,696.1 Together they consume approximately 78 GWh of electricity per year
served by Southern California Edison (SCE), an investor owned utility (IOU).2 Over the past few years,
the city has sought to integrate sustainability into its municipal operations and community as a whole.
They have already led several successful sustainability ventures in order to reach their ultimate goal of
becoming a carbon neutral municipality. This goal was set in 2010 by the City of Hermosa Beach to source
all municipal and community operations from renewable sources. Other notable achievements in
sustainability include becoming the first South Bay City to join the ‘Cool Cities’ Initiative, completing a
municipal greenhouse gases (GHG) inventory, creating The Green Task Force, and many more (see
below).

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 12
In 2013, a group of seven graduating students from UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and
Sustainability produced a carbon neutral scoping plan for the City of Hermosa Beach. The UCLA
Practicum team in conjunction with the City of Hermosa Beach initiated a project which counted all GHG
emissions associated with water, energy, and materials consumption and acquisition. From analysis of
this data, they identified the sources and quantities of GHG emissions in the city. Using this information,
three scenarios for reduction of total GHG emissions were produced, spanning a timeframe from 2015-
2075. These models varied in intensity, with the final recommendation that the City of Hermosa Beach
pursue most aggressively, a combination of energy efficiency, implementing electricity from renewable
energy sources, and purchasing carbon offsets.5
This year, the team, comprised of a new set of seven graduating seniors, continued research from the
previous year’s conclusions. We focused centrally on electricity generation. This year’s report sets out to
explain various avenues of attaining carbon neutral electricity and provide a final recommendation
tapered to the specific needs of the City of Hermosa Beach. In order to provide the most sufficient and
suitable recommendation, these two main topics of research were analyzed by financial cost and technical
feasibility. The result of this research is a comprehensive recommendation for the City of Hermosa Beach
to achieve carbon neutral electricity generation.
First, we started by considering the efforts of energy efficiency to address the specific constraints
electricity supply. Next, the goal was to increase the amount of renewable resources to the grid.
Consequently, we set out to investigate methods of delivery and distribution of electricity from
renewable sources. The bulk of the research is examining and determining the feasibility of two different
energy policy options, a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) and SCE’s version of a Green Tariff
Shared Renewables (GTSR) program. A CCA is a system in which residents of a community can unite
their demand for electricity and interactively decide from whom they purchase their power. Most
importantly, residents, along with their local governing boards, have influence over the selection of the
energy sources providing their electricity with this program. Secondly, the newly created GTSR program
offered by SCE, allows ratepayers access to a higher portfolio of renewable energy procured by the utility
for a premium price. With each respective energy policy, the advantages/disadvantages and technical
requirements were carefully analyzed to ensure a suitable fit for the City of Hermosa Beach.

Methodology
To provide the City of Hermosa Beach with options and recommendations to reach carbon neutrality in
its electricity production and delivery system, we first developed expertise in the following areas:
methods to increase energy efficiency, technical aspects of electricity generation, transmission and
consumption, CCA programs, the GTSR program, and PPAs.
We learned how the efficiency of electricity consumption can be increased in a city by reviewing
literature and researching best market practices. We studied various approaches aimed to improve city-
wide energy efficiency, including but not limited to, technological improvements and policies. In
addition, we studied the structure and consequences of the existing Home Energy Renovation
Opportunity (HERO) program. The HERO program is a policy designed to incentivize and help
homeowners improve home energy efficiency by upgrading home structure and electronics.
Technical components of electricity generation such as transmission and consumption are integral parts
of understanding how to achieve carbon neutrality. They were investigated by reviewing scientific
literature. We explored where and how exactly the City of Hermosa Beach could potentially get
renewable energy. After this research, we were able to understand the current structure of the grid, its
shortcomings, the technical challenges of integrating renewable sources of energy into the grid, and
possible solutions to these challenges.
We became familiar with CCA programs by reviewing literature, reviewing relevant legislations, and
studying current practices. We studied the structure and operation of existing CCA programs, including
examining the CCA feasibility reports of Berkeley and East Bay. We also explored the benefits of multiple
municipalities forming a joint CCA program. Another option for providing carbon neutral electricity is
the GTSR program. We began researching and reviewing Senate Bill 43, followed by an analysis of public
comments on the legislation. Then we investigated SCE’s Green Rate Proposal and opinions surrounding
its submission to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
To legally proceed with interviewing processes, the team had to go through Institutional Review Board
(IRB) procedures. Every group member went through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative.
The interviewing aspect of the project was contingent on the approval of the research project by IRB.
After becoming experts in the aforementioned topics, we analyzed the feasibility and applicability of
various policies for the City of Hermosa Beach. We analyzed the technical situation, geographical factors
and constraints, demographic factors, and political atmosphere of the City of Hermosa Beach. With these
considerations, we assessed the feasibility of various options for Hermosa Beach. We calculated the
possible benefits of each option and the relative costs of each option. The costs were calculated through
estimation and extrapolation of the known costs of each option. After feasibility assessments and
thorough cost-benefit analyses of the options were executed, we made a policy recommendation for the
City of Hermosa Beach.

Juan Matute. Our advisor acted as the intermediary between us and the client, the City of Hermosa
Beach.

Chapter 2: Options to Decarbonize Electricity
This chapter presents brief overviews of what options the City of Hermosa Beach has in order to
decarbonize electricity used in the city to achieve municipal carbon neutrality. The options consist of
rooftop solar, SCE’s GTSR program, and a CCA program.
Rooftop Solar
GIS analysis shows that if all residential units of the City of Hermosa Beach were to install rooftop solar
panels, they would generate 56.8 GWh of electrical power in a year, more than two thirds of the city’s
annual electricity demand. If all rooftops in the city, including residential units, were covered with solar
panels, they would generate a total of 76.2 GWh per year, almost the entire city’s annual electricity
demand.
Rooftop solar has tremendous potential to provide carbon neutral electricity for the city, but there are also
technical challenges that come with heavy reliance on rooftop solar. These include, but are not limited to
the following: threatening power reliability, locally jeopardizing power quality, current infrastructure not
suitable for bidirectional power flow, and electricity generation only as long as sunlight is available.
Green Tariff Shared Renewables
One option for the City of Hermosa Beach to decarbonize electricity deliveries is to turn to the newly
created GTSR program by SCE. The Green Rate program is a brand new addition to SCE’s service plan
mandated by California Senate Bill 43. As a requirement of this legislation, utilities will begin to offer
programs equivalent to the Green Rate program outline. Each program offers ratepayers an opportunity
to buy high-percentage renewable energy directly from their service provider. Currently, the CPUC is
reviewing SCE’s program proposal to see if it meets the qualifications set by SB 43.
Once approved, ratepayers in the City of Hermosa Beach can purchase fifty or one-hundred percent
renewable power on the GTSR program. Demand from local residents will be filled with the 269 MW of
power allocated to SCE for their service area. Enrollment in this rate begins twelve months after approval
of the proposal by CPUC. Customers are free to cancel their subscription once enrolled, but must wait
one year before re-enrollment. Four methods of enrollment will be provided: online web portal, SCE call
center, paper form, or account manager. Customers who choose enrollment in the GTSR program are
charged extra fees for electricity generation. These costs go to renewable integration, market
participation, program administration, the green rate portfolio, and resource adequacy costs. Renewable
Energy Certificates (REC) created from subscriptions shall be retired on behalf of the customer, which
means the customer can claim the environmental benefits of renewable energy. In order to promote this
new option, SCE proposes to market to households currently in Bundled Service as well as outreach to
low income customers. Last, SCE intends to establish a Green Balance Account to separate extra costs
incurred to the company from renewable energy procurement. Through this mechanism, SCE will
determine Green Rate program prices accurately, without shifting expenditure costs onto non-
participants.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 16
Community Choice Aggregation
The City of Hermosa Beach could form a CCA program in order to take control of its power procurement
decisions in support of its carbon neutrality goal. The first CCA started in Massachusetts with the Cape
Light Compact in 1997 and the idea has since spread to other states, most notably Illinois, but also
California. Two CCAs are currently operating in Northern California and most recently a third is forming
in the County of Los Angeles.
A CCA would provide a medium for the City of Hermosa Beach to make decisions about power
procurement, a function currently provided by their electric utility, SCE. SCE would continue to
distribute electricity through their power lines and bill customers. Once a CCA program is established
within the service territory, each customer is given an opportunity to opt out of the program and
maintain service through their original electric utility. Those customers that do not opt out will become
members of the CCA.
The increase in decision-making power that a CCA program offers communities would allow the City of
Hermosa Beach to increase the procurement of carbon neutral power delivered to the city. In this way,
the city would be able to achieve its goals of GHG emissions reductions while taking greater control of
the costs of pursuing these goals.

Chapter 3: Technical Assessment
The City of Hermosa Beach’s goal of obtaining carbon neutral electricity could be reached through
various policies. But the entire operation of generating and transmitting electricity involves much more
than just policy. This chapter serves to provide a fundamental understanding of: the process of producing
electricity, the methods in which carbon neutral electricity could be generated, the basic functioning of
the current electricity transmission and delivery system, and the incompatibility of distributed,
incremental energy sources (including rooftop solar) with current infrastructure. The chapter ends with a
brief discussion about possible solutions to mitigate technical challenges so that the City of Hermosa
Beach can utilize renewable energy sources to a greater extent.
Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable energy is energy produced from a source that is either not depleted when converted to energy
or can regenerate more quickly than needed to serve energy needs. Prior to industrialization and use of
coal (and later oil and natural gas), most energy used was renewable. This section introduces the different
types of renewable energy sources, with a focus on those available to the City of Hermosa Beach.
Solar Thermal
Figure 3.1. This graph compares the theoretical solar thermal energy production, with actual solar
thermal energy production according to time of day.6

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 18
Solar thermal systems generate electricity by utilizing thermal energy from solar radiation. Solar thermal
energy collection depends solely on the heat generated by the sun, so it can still generate power on
cloudy days when direct sunlight is not available.7 The dotted line in Figure 3.1 displays the theoretical
solar thermal energy production according to the time of day, but due to delayed heat loss, the actual
thermal energy production is represented by the solid orange line. Hence, solar thermal facilities can
continue to produce electricity for some time after the sun goes down also. Therefore, electricity
production from solar thermal is less variable than solar photovoltaic.
Utility-scale solar thermal power plants, called high-temperature collectors, use mirrors or lenses to
concentrate sunlight. This maximizes the amount of energy available for electricity production. Figure 3.2
illustrates how energy is produced in a parabolic trough solar thermal plant. First, collectors concentrate
sunlight in order to heat a synthetic oil, which is then used to heat water and generate steam. Next, the
steam is piped to an onsite turbine generator, which produces electricity to be transmitted to power lines.
On days when heat from sunlight is not available, a supplementary natural gas boiler can be used in
place of solar energy to produce steam.8 Solar thermal plants of the power tower design function in a
similar fashion by also producing steam to operate a turbine generator. The largest of these plants is
located in Southern California in the Mojave Desert. These systems increase in efficiency as temperature
increases, making desert climates ideal locations for such electricity production.
Figure 3.2. This diagram explains how parabolic trough solar thermal plants produce electricity9

The Mojave Desert is a huge resource for solar energy in California and has been rapidly growing in the
past years. This is assisted by funding provided by federal stimulus in order to achieve the standards set
by California’s Senate bill, which requires 33% of the state’s energy to be provided by renewable sources
by 2020. At the beginning of 2014, two solar thermal power plants began operation in the Imperial and
Riverside Counties in the Mojave. Ivanpah is a solar thermal power plant of the power tower design and
the largest operating solar thermal plant in the world. It produces 377 MW of energy by using over
300,000 mirrors to focus the sunlight towards three main towers that can reach up to 1,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. The plant generates enough energy to provide electricity for over 100,000 homes.10 Both
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and SCE have signed contracts to purchase electricity provided by
Ivanpah for twenty-five to thirty years.11 The price that SCE will pay for the electricity it is receiving from
Ivanpah is not publicly available. However, BrightSource Energy, the company that constructed the
Ivanpah plant, and SCE have said that the price is competitive. Figure 3.3 is an image of the Ivanpah
plant.
Figure 3.3. This is the Ivanpah solar thermal power plant in the Mojave Desert. It produces 377 MW of
energy using a power tower design.12
The Genesis Solar Power Project is the second solar thermal power plant that began operating at the end
of 2013. This project consists of two independent generating facilities each producing 125MW for a total
output of 250MW of electricity. This solar thermal plant is of the parabolic trough design, consisting of
troughs made of over 600,000 mirrors.13 PG&E currently holds a power purchase agreement (PPA) with
the Genesis solar plant at an undisclosed price.14 Figure 3.4 is an image of the Genesis Solar Power Project.

electricity using a parabolic trough design.15
While both of these power plants have been lauded for creating jobs and offsetting carbon emissions, they
have received some criticism from conservationists for potentially causing fatalities in bird species. Solar
thermal plants are known to burn birds that fly over the plant due to the high temperatures that they
conduct.16 Over half of the casualties caused by solar thermal plants were of water bird species typically
found around ponds or streams. Biologists speculate that the birds may be mistaking the solar thermal
plant’s reflective surfaces for water, thus attracting them to the site.17 While solar thermal plants can
provide clean and renewable electricity, it is important to take into consideration their impact on wildlife
too.
Solar Photovoltaic
Solar photovoltaic cells directly convert captured solar radiation into electricity. The cells operate at
maximum efficiency at a temperature greater than 55° F, but high temperatures from extended exposure
to concentrated sunlight can also decrease the efficiency of photovoltaic cells, thus sometimes requiring a
cooling system. The greatest limitation of photovoltaic cells is that they only generate electricity when the
sun is out. This contributes heavily to their high variability compared to both thermal solar and wind
energy.18
Solar photovoltaic power plants are more common than their solar thermal cousins mostly due to the
declining costs of photovoltaic solar cells. Since the 1950s the price of photovoltaic cells have dropped
15 (NextEra Energy Resources, 2014b)
16 (Hering, 2014)
17 (Clarke, 2013)
18 (Lueken, Cohen, & Apt, 2012)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 21
drastically, by a factor of 100.19 The increase in power plant size and efficiency has helped lower the costs
of photovoltaics. Larger power plants are able to offset more of the base costs of construction by
producing a greater profit from increased generation of electricity. Increased efficiency contributed to a
decline in cost as more electricity is produced per square meter of photovoltaic material.20
Some solar thermal power plants have even been converted to photovoltaic power plants due to their
comparative affordability21. An example of such a solar power plant is the Blythe Solar Power Project.
Originally, the project was approved in 2010 to be a parabolic trough solar thermal plant with four
adjacent plants each producing 250 MW of power for 1000 MW total. However, in 2011 it was announced
that the project would use photovoltaic solar panels instead and consist of three plants producing 125
MW each and a fourth producing 110 MW for a total output of 485 MW22. The Blythe Project is currently
in the compliance phase, producing an environmental impact statement, and construction is projected to
begin by the end of 2014.23
Several other photovoltaic solar power plants are being constructed in the Mojave Desert with
completion dates ranging from 2013 to 2015. However, all of these power plants already have PPAs
arranged for when the plants are completed and ready for commercial use. One of such photovoltaic
solar power plants is Desert Sunlight Solar Farm, which has an anticipated operational date of 2015. The
project includes two separate phases, each backed by a PPA, the first with PG&E for 300 MW of electricity
and the second with SCE for 250 MW.24
Though the Mojave Desert is within the SCE service territory, it is the state’s most efficient solar
producing region. PG&E is an especially prominent figure in the photovoltaic solar energy market in the
Mojave Desert as they hold exclusive PPAs with numerous power plants, such as Antelope Valley Solar
Ranch for 230 MW and California Valley Solar Ranch for 250 MW.25 Many projects are supported by a
PPA before construction even begins.

Utility-Scale Wind Turbines
Figure 3.5. This map shows California’s wind resources26
As of 2013, over five percent of California’s total electricity is provided by wind energy, but it continues
to grow as a prominent renewable energy source.27 Figure 3.5 shows the wind potential in California.
Major utility-scale wind farms in California are primarily located in three areas: Tehachapi (southeast of
Bakersfield), San Gorgonio (east of Los Angeles near Palm Springs), and Altamont (east of San Francisco),
as shown in Figure 3.6. These regions provide ninety-five percent of California’s wind energy supply,

each with the capacity of producing hundreds of megawatts of energy.28 This is convenient for Southern
California and Los Angeles in particular as two of these three locations are within reasonable distance to
supply electricity, allowing for a plentiful source of wind energy available to the City of Hermosa Beach.
SCE currently holds over a dozen PPAs with wind energy producers in these areas; they include new
projects with contracts not expiring until mid-2030, while others are due to expire within the next five
years.
Figure 3.6. This map shows regions where wind power facilities are located in California29
The Alta Wind Energy Center is a wind farm project in Tehachapi that was recently developed, earning
the distinction of the largest wind facility in the nation. The total generation of the facility is projected to
be 1,548 MW provided by several individually operating wind farms. The first phase already online is
generating 1,320 MW.30 Some smaller projects in the same area that have been operating since the 1980s
are due for renewal in the coming years, such as Project 251, Cameron Ridge, San Gorgonio, and more.
Cameron Ridge recently underwent construction in 2013 to replace older turbines with a newer design,
the Ogin Turbine, which is predicted to increase energy output by fifty percent.31 More details regarding
these and other wind farms can be found in Table 3.1.
The lifespan for wind turbines has been projected to be about twenty years, also conveniently the typical

length of a PPA. After this time, it is necessary for the turbines to be replaced. A recent study conducted
in Scotland, however, suggests that this may actually be an overstatement. After ten years of operation,
the average output of a wind farm had declined by one-third.32 In this case, the actual lifespan of an
average wind turbine at approximately twelve to fifteen years, and after that time, would require a
reevaluation of the operation and maintenance costs associated with wind turbine development.
Offshore wind energy is also an option for the City of Hermosa Beach. Winds offshore are generally more
reliable, strong and abundant than those onshore. This can be a particular advantage for California where
the potential for wind power onshore is limited, but coastlines are plentiful. However, there are several
complications that make offshore wind energy a less feasible option in today’s energy market. Wind
turbines require a certain minimum distance from shore in order to optimize the power of the wind. But
the construction of undersea transmission lines is an expensive endeavor and the price increases with
distance offshore.33 Also, exposure to seawater increases the risk of corrosion to the wind turbines. Thus
the offshore wind turbines must be designed more robustly to endure the conditions of the sea. They may
also require additional maintenance, which is more expensive than traditional turbines as this requires
transporting crews out into the ocean.34 Technology has been improving to make offshore wind more
practical.
Architectural Wind

Architectural wind turbines are small modular systems that can be constructed on existing buildings.
AeroVironment’s architectural wind turbines take advantage of the natural acceleration of wind that

results from a building’s aerodynamics using specific positioning and design. While architectural wind
provides benefits that traditional turbines are lacking, there are drawbacks to this technology as well.
Since the release of Aerovironment’s AVX400 turbines (as pictured in figure 3.7), energy production has
not met the company’s original expectations.36 This is mostly due to the low energy output produced at
slower wind speeds. While the turbine has the capacity to produce up to 400 W of energy, it usually
operates at lower wind speeds and does not reach this potential. This reduces the cost effectiveness of
these architectural wind designs compared to larger wind turbines. Aerovironment has since released a
newer model of its architectural wind turbine, AVX1000, which has a capacity of 1,000 W. However, like
the AVX400, reaching this rate of energy production requires wind speed of nearly 30 mph. At wind
speeds of 10 mph or lower, the turbines will likely produce less than 50 W.37 Technologies surrounding
architectural wind are still developing and improving, so this form of energy production may gain
momentum in the future. However, it does not currently seem viable as a form of cost effective energy
production.
Geothermal
California is unique in its bountiful reservoir of geothermal energy as it contains the second largest
supply in the world.38 The untapped geothermal energy available in California could supply enough
electricity to power the entire state’s needs. Geothermal energy is consistently available at all times
because the Earth is constantly releasing heat. Therefore variability is not an issue as it is for some other
renewable energy sources.
The Salton Sea is the nearest geothermal extraction site to the City of Hermosa Beach located in the
Imperial Valley. There are several geothermal power plants currently in operation serving areas of Los
Angeles, San Diego and Tempe, Arizona. Eight of these plants are currently under a thirty-year PPA with
SCE.39 This means that the infrastructure necessary to transport geothermal energy from the Imperial
Valley to the City of Hermosa Beach is already existing. Each of the eight power plants providing energy
for SCE have individual contracts with a range of expiration dates and rates. One of such contracts
expires as soon as 2016, with all but one following through 2020.40 As recently as 2012, development of an
additional geothermal plant was approved in the Salton Sea area for 49.9 MW of energy. It was already
under contract with the Salt River Project from Arizona when production was halted due to an
anticipated output that fell short of initial predictions.41 Besides this attempt, only one geothermal plant
has been constructed in the last twenty years in the Imperial Valley and there are no current plans for any
additional power plants.

Hydropower
In 2007, hydropower in California produced 43,625 GWh of electricity, 14.5% of the state’s total system
power, making it one of the most utilized forms of renewable energy. 42 California’s has 400 hydro plants
located in the eastern mountain ranges with a total capacity of 14,000 MW.
Hydropower harnesses energy from water flowing into a turbine from a higher potential to a lower
potential. It is important to note that hydropower is only renewable as long as water is available.
Additionally, hydropower has significant impacts on the local environment. “The construction of
hydropower plants can alter sizable portions of land” by “caus[ing] erosion along the riverbed upstream
and downstream.”43 Also, since hydropower is highly dependent on rainfall, the amount of
hydroelectricity may vary year to year.44
The closest hydro plants are small conduit plants approximately 50 miles east of the City of Hermosa
Beach. Conduit plants are man-made structures such as existing canals, pipelines, and aqueducts fitted
with electric generating equipment.45 Conduits are considered “small hydro, and are able to extract
power from water without the need for a large dam or reservoir.” These include the Mojave Siphon
Hydroelectric Facility and the Devil Canyon Hydroelectric Facility. Both of these conduit plants are part
of the State Water Project, which transports water from Northern to Southern California through the
California Aqueduct, and are operated by the California Department of Water Resources. The Mojave
Siphon Hydroelectric facility features three turbines producing up to a total of 29.4 MW. The Devil’s
Canyon Hydroelectric Facility is one of the larger facilities with four turbines producing a total of up to
276 MW. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the cost of a hydro plant entering
service in 2019 would be $84.50 per MWh which includes levelized capital cost, fixed operation and
maintenance, variable operation and maintenance, including fuel, and transmission investment.46 Figure

Biomethane & Biomass
According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), biomass produced over 6,236 GWh of electricity
in 2007.49 Biomass plants generate energy from the burning of forest, agricultural, and urban organic
matter. Figure 3.10 displays the various biomass fuels that can be used for electricity generation.
Electricity production from burning biomass is considered carbon neutral because the carbon associated
with the biomass fuel is regarded as part of the natural carbon cycle, as opposed to the combustion of
fossil fuels.
The City of Hermosa Beach is in close proximity to two natural gas power plants in El Segundo and
Redondo Beach. The El Segundo Natural Gas Power Plant is owned and managed by NRG Energy Inc,
and it has a generating capacity of up to “550 MW, enough to supply over 400,000 homes.”50 The
Redondo Beach Natural Gas Power Plant operated by AES California is currently being renovated to be
more efficient and to comply with regulations prohibiting once through cooling. Advanced technology
has allowed natural gas plants the ability to utilize biomethane as their fuel. Biomethane is a biogas that is
removed of its contaminants, and is conditioned to pipeline quality natural gas. Some European
countries such as Ireland have already considered upgrading their natural gas plants to biomethane.51 If
the City of Hermosa Beach decides to have their own generating facility, upgrading the El Segundo and
Redondo Beach plants may be possible.
The largest constraints of upgrading natural gas plants to biomethane plants is the high cost of acquiring
a power plant that serves many times more than the load demand of the City of Hermosa Beach and
sourcing sufficient quantities of renewable biogas to make the energy renewable and with zero GHG
emissions. The City of Hermosa Beach is in the proximity of the Desert View Power Plant, one of the
largest biomass plants in California located in Riverside County in the town of Mecca. The Desert View
Power Plant produces up to 47 MW of electricity and currently sells this renewable energy to SCE. The
average levelized cost of biomass energy is $102.60 per MWh.52

Figure 3.10. This figure shows the different types of biomass that can be used as fuel for electricity
production. 53
Hydrogen
Since molecular hydrogen (H2) is highly flammable, it is uncommon in nature. 95% of hydrogen used as
energy is produced through industrial processes.54
The most common technology of producing hydrogen is through electrolytic processes which utilizes an
electrolyzer to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Alternately, photolytic technology, which is still in
its research and development stage, utilizes sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Photolytic
technology is predicted to exhibit significant potential for sustainable hydrogen production with very
little environmental impact.
A hydrogen fuel cell works by harnessing the chemical energy from compressed hydrogen to generate
electricity through a chemical reaction. When operating, hydrogen fuel cells emit only water vapor, warm
air and hydrogen, making it a zero tailpipe emissions generation energy source.
Hydrogen can be sustainably produced if the process is fueled by renewable energy. According to the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, “results have verified that there is abundant solar and wind
53 Ibid.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 31
energy resources to meet hydrogen transportation fuel for the entire country.”55
California is one of the few major hydrogen producing states in the nation along with Louisiana and
Texas56. Hydrogen Energy California is planning to establish a low carbon power plant for baseload
requirements for SCE. This plant would produce 400MW of electricity, using hydrogen as fuel. The plant
is expected to recapture 90% of its CO2 emissions.57 The state has 13 research hydrogen fueling stations, 9
public stations, and 18 expected for future development.58 Currently, hydrogen fuel cells are being
utilized primarily as a means to power vehicles in California.
Due to the high energy content of hydrogen by weight but very low energy by volume, storing hydrogen
is very challenging.59 Despite of this limitation, hydrogen can still be used as a means of storing energy.
Currently, hydrogen can only be stored in high pressure tanks, and physical storage of cryogenic
hydrogen (hydrogen cooled at -235 Celsius at pressures of 6-350 barr) in insulated tanks.60
Although hydrogen can be produced sustainably from renewable sources, the question remains as to
why a city would use electricity to produce hydrogen, and in doing so experience energy loss, as opposed
to using the electricity directly.
New fuel cell innovations have brought about the creation of the Bloom Box or the Bloom Energy Server
created by Northern California based startup company by the name of Bloom Energy. The Bloom Box
serves to convert natural gas or biogas into electricity by using a “direct electrochemical reaction rather
than combustion.”61 The fuel cell works with three pieces of equipment consisting of the anode and a
cathode made of special ink with a solid oxide ceramic plate (the electrolyte) placed in between. The
mechanism works by fuel passing over the anode and air passing the cathode which leads to the oxygen
ions reacting with the fuel to create energy. The company seeks to generate energy on site by installing its
fuel cells enclosed in a weatherproof shell at the customer site to ensure direct sustainable delivery to the
customer. A Bloom Energy Server is quoted to be approximately $800,000 for the Bloom Box ES-5000 in
2010.62 Each Bloom Energy server provides about 100 kW and is set to take up as much space as a parking
spot with the ability to power a 30,000 square foot office building or 100 average U.S. homes.63 Bloom
Energy Servers are natural gas based systems that emit 773 lbs/MWh of carbon dioxide on average
whereas a natural gas turbine powered by combustion releases about 1,314 lbs/MWh on average.64 The
current constraints of the Bloom Box is that it is relatively new and that the solid oxide ceramic plates

require temperatures up to 1,800o Fahrenheit for the chemical reaction to occur, which may reduce the
durability of the material in the long term.65 It is estimated that current units will have a 10 year life as
long as the fuel stacks are swapped out twice. Figure 3.11 describes the operation of a Bloom Box.

Technical Fundamentals
For the City of Hermosa Beach to reach its goal of obtaining carbon-neutral electricity, it will have to
procure electricity from the sources described above. But bringing renewable electricity into the grid is
easier said than done. There are technical challenges and limitations. This section describes the
fundamentals of electrical power, grid operation, and the difficulties of incorporating renewable
electricity into the grid.

Introduction to Electrical Power
Figure 3.13. This is a diagram of an atom 68
In order understand electricity, it is first necessary to understand atoms. Everything is made of atoms -
they are the building blocks of the universe. Atoms are extremely small; millions can fit on the tip of a
pin.69 Figure 3.13 shows the basic structure of an atom. At the center of the atom is the nucleus, made up
of particles called protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged while neutrons contain no charge.
Surrounding the nucleus is a cloud of negatively charged electrons. In terms of mass, electrons are
approximately two thousand times lighter than protons and neutrons. Electrons spin around the nucleus
in orbital paths known as shells. The opposite charges of electrons and protons attract each other, which
keeps the atom and its orbiting electrons intact. The shell closest to the nucleus can hold two atoms, the
next shell can hold eight, and the outer shells hold even more electrons. Electrons can be pushed out of
their orbits and a force great enough can even push electrons to move to another atom. Electricity is
simply the movement or flow of electrons between atoms.
Electricity is a secondary energy source, also referred to as an energy carrier.70 This means that there is no
natural source of electrical power that we can tap into. It must be generated and converted using other
sources of energy, such as fossil fuels, wind and solar power. One of the greatest advantages of
converting energy into electricity is that it is relatively easy to transmit and deliver.
Energy is typically measured in joules while electricity is measured in watts.71 Since electricity is a flow of
electrons, watts measures the rate of energy transfer. A Watt is defined as one joule per second. A
kilowatt hour (kWh) is equal to the energy of 1,000 watts transferred over the period of one hour. The
amount of electricity generated by a power plant or consumed by a customer is usually measured in
kilowatt hours. For example, when a 40-watt light bulb is lit for five hours, 200 watt hours, or 0.2 kilowatt

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 35
hours, of electrical energy is used.72
Electrical power starts at the power plant, which typically consists of a spinning electrical generator. The
steam turbine is the most commonly used spinning electrical generator in the United States. A turbine
converts the kinetic energy of a moving liquid or gas to mechanical energy. In steam turbines powered by
fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, the fuel is burned in a furnace to heat water in a boiler to
produce steam. The steam is then forced against a series of blades mounted on a shaft, rotating the shaft
connected to the generator. Generators take advantage of the relationship between magnetism and
electricity to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Moving magnetic fields can pull and push
electrons. Metals, such as copper, have electrons that are loosely held, and through the use of
electromagnets and copper wires, generators create electricity.73 Figure 3.14 shows how a steam turbine
generates electricity.
Figure 3.14. This diagram explains how a turbine generator generates electricity.74
Most power plants burn various types of fuels to create steam, and use steam turbines to generate
electricity. However, there are three types of electricity-generating techniques that are exceptions. First,
72 Ibid.
73 Ibid.
74 (Geothermal Education Office, 2000)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 36
hydropower relies on the movement of water to directly turn the turbine, generating electricity.
Windmills rely on the movement of air to turn giant blades. As they move, they also turn the turbines
that are behind the blades. Finally, solar photovoltaic technology directly converts sunlight into electricity
as it directly strips electrons from incoming solar radiation.
Delivery and the Grid
Electricity is delivered to consumers by the following process: electricity is generated at power plants,
then a transformer steps up the voltage of the electricity for transmission. This occurs so that the
transmission lines’ full capacity is taken advantage of to transfer electricity more efficiently and reduce
energy loss from transmission. Stepped-up electricity travels through transmission lines, which are large,
high voltage power lines. In the U.S., the network of nearly 160,000 miles of these lines is known as the
“grid”. These transmission lines deliver electricity to local substations. When the electricity reaches a local
substation, the neighborhood transformer steps down the voltage to a level that it is safe and appropriate
for consumer use. Finally, this low voltage energy is distributed to households via a local system of
distribution lines.
The grid is the assemblage of transmission lines over the U.S., interconnecting power plants, substations,
and electricity consumers. It can be compared to a huge spider web covering the country. However, there
is actually no national power grid, but there are three power grids operating in the 48 contiguous states.
They are the Eastern Interconnected System for states east of the Rocky Mountains, the Western
Interconnected System, from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountain states, and the Texas
Interconnected System. These systems generally operate independently of each other with limited links
between them.75 Figure 3.15 displays the three power grids in the contiguous United States.
75 (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2012)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 37
Figure 3.15. Map displaying the three power grids in the contiguous U.S.76
The grid did not come to exist until post-World War II era. Prior to that, at the beginning of the 20th
century, there were over 4,000 individual electric utilities operating in isolation. Almost all of them
served only the local customers through low-voltage connections from nearby power plants to the
distribution lines. As the demand for electricity grew, particularly in the post-World War II era, electric
utilities found it more efficient to interconnect their transmission systems. This way, they could build
larger generators to serve the electricity demands at lower costs and could avoid building duplicate
power plants. The interconnection also helped to provide more reliable service. To meet increasing
demands, higher voltage interconnections were developed to transport electricity over longer distances.
Over time, three large interconnected systems evolved in the United States.77
SCE is the largest subsidiary of Edison International. The company traces its origins to July 4th, 1886.78 On
that day, the partnership of Holt and Knupp first used a steam engine to power the lights of Visalia
during its evening celebration.79 Since then, the company was formed through mergers and acquisitions

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 38
of numerous small predecessor companies, and SCE was officially incorporated in 1909.80 SCE has grown
significantly. Today, it serves over 14 million people over a service territory of 50,000 square miles.81 It
owns and maintains over 100,000 miles of power lines and over 700,000 transformers to deliver electricity
to its customers.82
Grid Operation
Through a complex network, the grid delivers power where it is needed. Once the electricity is generated,
it will flow along whatever pathway is presented to it along the grid, much like water flowing downhill.
Utilities provide and maintain the infrastructure that carries electricity to end users. Utility companies
own the transmission infrastructure, but the electrical power they transform and transmit is bought from
private companies on the wholesale power market.83 In California, this market is operated and managed
by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). CAISO ensures equal access to the state’s
power lines, forecasts electrical demand, accounts for operating reserves, and dispatches the lowest cost
power plant unit to meet demand while ensuring enough transmission capacity is available to deliver the
power.84 CAISO’s responsibilities can be summed up as managing the supply and demand of electrical
power on the grid, known as load balancing. CAISO have a critical role in the operation of the grid and
help to ensure every customer in the state receives the electrical power needed at the right time and place.
Electricity cannot be easily or efficiently stored over an extended period of time and is usually consumed
momentarily after production. The real-time balancing of the supply and demand of electrical power in
the grid is not an easy task.

If represented graphically, the power demand over the duration of a twenty-four hour day is
approximately a bell curve. Figure 3.16 is the load profile for California on a hot day in 1999. Electricity
demand is relatively low during the night time, with demand peaking in the day. Hypothetically, if the
load is to be supplied by a single power plant only, its capacity has to be equal to the peak load demand
or more. However, such a power plant would be uneconomical since the peak load occurs only for a short
duration of the day. Because of this dynamic and time-dependent demand of electrical power, it is
optimal to have a mix of different power plants supplying base and peak loads. Hence, the coordination
of different power stations is essential.86
There are three categories of power stations with differing purposes. First, base load plants provide an
unvarying supply of electricity at nearly all times. Baseload electricity is the minimum amount of power
that a utility must have available to customers, or the power needed to make minimum demand based on
customer expectation.87 Some characteristics of base load power plants are low operating costs, the
capability to operate for long periods of time, little maintenance, and few operating personnel.88 Nuclear
power was a large fraction of SCE’s baseload generation, but with the loss of the San Onofre plant, SCE is
strained for baseload energy. It is predicted that combined natural gas will replace the nuclear plant’s
position in baseload generation. Alternately, peak load plants serve to satisfy the peak demand that is not
met by the electricity produced by base load facilities. Peak load plants usually start operating quickly,
synchronize quickly with the grid, and therefore have quick response to load variations. Figure 3.17
displays the generation profile of different resources.

Grid Reliability
According to the North American Electric Reliability Council, reliability is “the degree to which the
performances of the elements of the electrical system result in power being delivered to consumers within
accepted standards and in the amount desired.”90 In other words, reliability refers to the ability of the
power systems to deliver electricity to all points of consumption in adequate quality and quantity. Power
quality is a subcategory of grid reliability, which describes the characteristics, in terms of continuity and
voltage, of the electricity delivered to consumers.91 Not surprisingly, customers depend on and demand
grid reliability and power quality.
Reliability encompasses two concepts: adequacy and security.92 Adequacy is “the ability of the system to
supply the total energy requirements to all consumers at all times”, which means that sufficient
generation and transmission resources are available to meet needs at all times, including peak conditions,
and with reserves for contingencies.93 Security is “the ability of the system to withstand sudden
disturbances”, which means that the system remains intact even after outages and equipment failure.
Efforts to address grid reliability must consider these two aspects.
Reliability is measured by the frequency, duration, and extent of system disturbances and outages. A
disturbance is any unplanned event, including an outage that produces an abnormal system condition.
An outage is described in terms of frequency, duration, the amount of load, or the number of customers
affected. Voltage disturbances can take forms in overvoltage and undervoltage.94 Overvoltage is the
increase of the supply voltage by more than 10%, while undervoltage is the decrease in voltage by more
than 10%. Extended periods can lead to brownouts and blackouts. A brownout occurs when the energy
supplier intentionally reduces electrical voltage more than 10% for a sustained period, forcing consumers
to use less power.95 Blackouts are long periods of complete loss of electrical power.
If an area experiences a blackout, that particular area will be affected immediately, but the surrounding
regions will be affected as well. A blackout, the absence of electrical power in a particular region of the
grid, naturally creates a vacuum-like effect in the grid, drawing power from energy-rich regions to the
energy-deficient blackout area. In addition, system operators can intentionally reduce the voltage in
surrounding areas, causing a brownout, to provide at least some electricity to the blackout region. This is
a typical occurrence in the event of a blackout.
There are different strategies to ensure grid reliability. Grid reliability is the most threatened when
electricity demand peaks. Hence methods to ensure the grid functions properly, even at high demands,
are known as peak shaving. Peak load power plants, as described previously, run only when there is a
high electricity demand. They can be thought of as backup, emergency generators. They act as a buffer
against blackouts in times of high electricity demand. This is a supply-side strategy to ensure grid
reliability. Demand response is a broad term that describes a demand-side strategy. According to the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), demand response is defined as “changes in electric
usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption in response to the price of electricity over
time, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high market wholesale
prices or when system reliability is jeopardized”. Demand response strategies range from having high
prices of electricity at peak periods, to programs that involve certain electrical appliances being shut
down to reduce peak demand. Figure 3.18 is a graphical representation of demand response’s effect on
the load profile.

Limitations of the Grid
The grid has been revolutionary, but it is not without flaws. In 2011, an average of only about 93% of a
generating station’s net electricity production is actually delivered for consumer use in the United States;
7% of the energy is lost in transformers and along transmission lines.97 There are two types of electricity
loss along transmission lines: corona and ohmic. Corona loss occurs when the electric field at the surface
of a bare wire becomes sufficiently large and electric charge is injected into the air near the wire. This
charge moves in the electric field thereby creating a leakage current. Ohmic loss is resistive loss. It occurs
because the carriers of electric charge within the conductors encounter resistance to their motion.98 When
the energy source is close to the consumer, the loss can be tolerated, but if the energy source is located far

from the consumer, the total electricity lost through transmission can be staggering.
Transmission lines also have a specific and limited capacity. Grid congestion occurs when the flow of
electricity over a line or a piece of equipment is constrained below desired levels.99 Simply put,
congestion occurs when there is more electricity than certain transmission lines can carry, limiting the
electricity supplied to the destination of the line. This restriction can be imposed either by physical or
electrical capacity. Severe congestion conditions can impair grid reliability by reducing the diversity of
electricity sources and making an area more vulnerable to unanticipated outages.100
The greatest limitation of the current grid is perhaps its incompatibility with renewable energy sources.
Renewable Energy Sources and Grid Reliability
When a switch is flipped to turn on the lights, it occurs instantly. This can be taken for granted as a
seemingly mundane phenomenon, but in reality, many complex operations occur to make this possible.
As described previously, electricity is produced and consumed virtually instantly, so at every given
moment, the grid operator instantaneously matches supply and demand. As we flip on a switch, it is a
signal that there is demand for electricity. The electricity is then manufactured instantly and delivered to
the lights. With tedious control, just the right amount of electricity is delivered. If more than the needed
electricity is delivered, the lights will burn out. If too little electricity is delivered, the lights will be dim or
not turn on at all. This entire process takes only a fraction of a second. The key to making electricity
available whenever and wherever it is demanded is tedious, precise control that instantly matches supply
and demand.
In order to be able to control the supply of electricity precisely, grid operators mainly rely on
dispatchable power. Dispatchable generation refers to electricity sources that can be turned on and off or
can adjust their power output on demand.101 Fossil fuel power plants are dispatchable power plants. The
amount of power they can produce can be turned up or down and the plant itself can be turned on or
shut down on demand. This is part of the reason why coal and natural gas are the most widely used
sources for electricity generation. Hydropower is also dispatchable. As long as water is available,
operators can decide when to let it flow to generate electricity.
The intentions of replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy are honorable, but renewables
are difficult to incorporate into the grid system. Most renewable energy sources are non-dispatchable.
Solar farms only generate electricity during the day, and wind turbines only generate electricity when the
wind blows. The amount of energy generated cannot be controlled on demand. Renewable energy
sources are also intermittent and the electricity produced varies.102 For example, cloud movements and
weather affect solar radiation, while wind intensity and direction is impossible to accurately forecast. In
short, the combined effects of the non-dispatchable and intermittent characteristics of renewable energy
sources make them nearly impossible to control as an electricity source. With current technology and
infrastructure, significant dependence on renewable sources for electricity generation could severely
jeopardize reliability. Infrastructure upgrades will be required for substantial renewable energy sources

penetration into the grid.
Battery Energy Storage System
Although high penetration of solar and wind energy threatens grid reliability, energy storage can act as a
buffer between supply and demand. It can store energy when supply is greater than demand, and release
energy when demand is greater than supply. Energy storage could help solve the reliability issues that
renewables impose on the grid.
However, current technology still has much room for improvement. The ideal battery energy storage
system should be able to hold and retain huge amounts of electrical power efficiently. It should have high
energy density, meaning it can hold lots of energy with very small volume. And the storage mechanism
should also be safe and not contain hazardous chemicals that many batteries have. In the case of a leakage
or breakdown of a storage mechanism with toxic chemicals, noteable health risks due to the scale of the
storage system could occur.

Figure 3.19 characterizes storage technology types according to rated power, which describes how much
power a storage unit can provide, and discharge duration, which describes how long it can provide
power for. Figure 3.20 illustrates the efficiency and lifetime of energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion
batteries are one of the best battery energy storage systems available right now.105 These batteries have a
relatively high energy density and slow discharge rate. They are commonly utilized in new models of
electric vehicles. SCE’s $55 million Tehachapi Wind Energy Storage Project will test the effectiveness of
lithium-ion battery storage.Though promising, lithium-ion batteries do have shortcomings. These
batteries pose risks of combustion and catching fire. And the largest obstacle preventing more
widespread use of the battery is its cost, as shown in Figure 3.21.
Battery energy storage units are currently available. But technologically, they have much room for
improvement, and the hope is that they will become more cost-effective in the near future.

Distributed Generation
Localized energy, also known as distributed generation, is generally defined as energy-generating
systems that are 20 MW or smaller, interconnected on-site or close to the electricity demand, can be
constructed quickly with no new transmission lines, and typically have no environmental impact.107
California defines distributed generation as fuels and technologies that are accepted as renewable for
purposes of Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), 20 MW or smaller, and located within low-voltage
distribution grid or supply power directly to consumer.108 Rooftop solar panels are an example of
distributed generation.
Distributed generation poses challenges to the grid as well. With significant penetration of distributed
generation, the distribution network is no longer a passive circuit supplying loads but an active system
with power flows and voltages determined by the generation as well as the load.109 Because of the
unpredictable behavior of renewable energy sources, the installation and connection of distributed
106 (KEMA, 2012c)
107 (Shlatz, E., Buch, N., & Chan, M., 2013)
108 (Weisenmiller, R., 2014)
109 (Mahmud, M. A., Hossain, M. J., & Pota, H. R., 2011)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 46
generation units will affect system frequency. They will free-ride on the efforts of the grid operator to fix
deviations and imbalances of electricity supply and demand.110
Secondly, the introduction of bidirectional power flow in distribution lines with the installation of
distributed generation is another challenge. Typically, power flows unidirectionally, from higher to lower
voltage levels, in other words from generation to transmissions lines then finally to distribution lines.111
That is how the grid and all of its infrastructure is designed to operate, to supply electricity from power
plants to consumers. However, distributed generation produces and exports electricity back into the grid.
This scenario can be compared to introducing two-way traffic to a one-way street. The one-way street,
with its traffic lights and signs, operate to coordinate one-way traffic only. The street will require
modifications and improvements to safely and reliably handle two-way traffic. Similarly, the current grid
system will need upgrades and modifications to reliably handle bidirectional power. For example,
transformer’s must have tap-changers capable of operating with reverse power flow.112
A third challenge is a phenomenon known as the voltage rise effect. Given that distributed generation
units can export electricity back into the grid, the voltage in a network with distributed generation is
directly proportional to the amount of active power supplied by the distributed generators.113 In other
words, heavy distributed generation penetration increases the voltage level in a local distribution
network. This is problematic because the voltage level at each connection point of the load is very
important for the electricity power quality. There is typically a defined steady-state voltage range, or a
maximum permitted voltage variation in a distribution in a distribution network.114 Hence, the voltage
rise effect caused by distributed generation could jeopardize power quality locally.
The Challenge of Rooftop Solar
Southern California has plenty of sunshine and the City of Hermosa Beach is no exception, making
rooftop solar a relatively popular choice for distributed generation. Solar insolation is the amount of
energy received by the sun at the earth’s surface. On a clear day, approximately 1,000 watts per meter
squared reaches the earth’s surface, perpendicular to the incoming radiation.115 Currently, it is
thermodynamically impossible for solar panels to be more than a hundred percent efficient, meaning the
highest possible energy a square meter of solar panels can generate will never be greater than 1,000 watts.
In reality, the most common solar panels that are compliant with California’s SB1 guidelines are on
average about 15% efficient.116 This means that under ideal weather conditions, a square meter of
photovoltaic panels generate only about 150 watts of electricity. Furthermore, solar panels only generate
electricity during the day. With these constraints, it is nearly impossible for a home to completely rely on
rooftop solar alone, unless it is paired with battery storage or remains connected to the grid.
Rooftop solar has been encouraged by SCE’s Net Energy Metering program. Under this program, homes
install rooftop solar panels while remaining connected to the grid. During the day, rooftop solar panels

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 47
generate electricity for the house and any surplus electricity not consumed is sent back onto the grid. At
night when solar panels no longer generate electricity, the house is provided with electricity from the
grid. This can also be used for commercial buildings. Under this program, even with rooftop solar, the
buildings are still dependent on grid-supplied electricity. And since the rooftop solar panels are
connected to the grid, the technical problems of distributed generation described previously apply as
well.
The CPUC-approved feed-in tariff program has also encouraged homeowners to install distributed
generation systems. A feed-in tariff (FIT) is a program designed to accelerate the investment in renewable
technologies by offering contracts to purchase electricity from renewable energy producers. A FIT
program facilitates development of renewable energy sources by lowering the barriers to enter the
wholesale electricity supply market by creating a price certainty, simplifying the procurement process,
and expanding access to the distribution network. Small producers and non-commercial producers are
able to participate in renewable resource production.
It is true that rooftop solar has tremendous potential, especially with the ample solar capacity in the City
of Hermosa Beach. However, with current technology and existing infrastructure, significant integration
of distributed generation into the grid could jeopardize reliability and power quality.
Technical Solutions: Smart Grid
As described in the previous section, the current grid system is not well-suited for supporting distributed
generation inputs. Updates and installations will be necessary for a greater integration of renewable
sources into the grid. There is a need for a better electricity distribution system - a smart grid. However, a
smart grid system cannot be installed overnight. Rather, it will be realized through many incremental
updates and changes. This section discusses the necessary moves toward a smarter grid system and
specifically elaborates on: facilitating bidirectional power, adding energy storage components and
installing microgrids.
Facilitating Bidirectional Power for Distributed Generation
Rather than continuing with the traditional “power plant to grid” approach to electricity generation and
delivery, a smart grid should include infrastructure suited for distributed generation systems. Distributed
generation is carbon neutral and renewable, and the decreased distance between generation and
consumption of electricity reduces the amount of energy lost through transmission. Distributed
generation facilities can also serve to ease the pressure on the grid in the event that a power plant goes
offline.
Instituting bidirectional power would be a major step towards making the grid more suitable for
distributed generation. The process is two-fold: building circuitry must support bidirectional flow of
electrons and secondly, buildings will need smart meters to track outgoing and incoming electricity.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 48
There are two types of circuits commonly used to distribute electricity from the grid to buildings. Radial
circuits connect once with the grid and then carry electricity to its final socket destination where it stops.
The second type of circuit is looped circuits. These circuits initially carry electricity from the grid source
to the socket and back again to the grid. Both circuits have their merits. Radial circuits are good for
minimizing the length of electrical wire needed, thus lowering installation cost.117 On the other hand,
looped circuits have the benefit of being able to facilitate bidirectional power.118 The circuitry must also
contain transformers with tap-changers capable of operating with reverse power flow.
Smart meters keep track of the electricity delivered by the grid and any electricity that distributed
generation sources send back into the grid. Figure 3.22 is a chart from San Diego Gas and Electric
(SDG&E) that compares a smart meter with an analog meter. SDG&E, along with other utility providers
are incentivizing the installation of smart meters to homes in their service area.
Figure 3.22. Differences between a smart and analog meter.119
Energy Storage
Although energy storage technologies have much room for improvement, they can help solve issues that
renewable or intermittent generation devices may create on the grid. This is seen in applications where
117 (Whitfield, 2008)
118 (SCE, 2010)
119 (San Diego Gas & Electric, 2013)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 49
storage is being targeted towards increasing energy security, smoothing of renewable variability and
ramp rates of renewables, and assisting with diurnal cycles of wind and solar projects.120
Community energy storage (CES) is an example of such applications. The concept of CES involves utility-
owned storage systems that are distributed and located near consumers. Figure 3.23 is an image of a CES
device.
Figure 3.23. Community Energy Storage Device 121
The PureWave, a particular energy storage device, is produced by S&C Electric Co. and can hold between
25-75 kWh of energy.122 It can provide a supply of power when the the grid isn’t supply any electricity.
Provided the average home in the U.S. uses 10,800 kWh/year, then each home could be calculated to use 3
kWh’s of energy in one hour. 123 Given the device has a charge of 50 kWh, then it would be able to power
17 homes for one hour before needed to be recharged. Thus it helps increase energy reliability.
CES systems also help reduce the amount of energy used during peak periods.124 CES devices can be
charged when electricity demand is low and release energy when needed. They can also be charged when
renewable energy sources are producing more electricity than can be consumed at the moment, and
therefore helping solve the dilemma of power dumping. Additionally, CES systems help mitigate the
voltage fluctuation problems that distributed generation sources bring. The transformer can change the
voltage of incoming energy accordingly; and if more voltage is needed, it can use energy from the battery
to make up for the difference.

Microgrids
Microgrids are generally defined as low-voltage networks consisting of distributed generation sources
and local storage devices.126 They connect multiple customers to multiple distributed generation sources
and storage devices.127 Intra-system cross-supply and communal management differentiate microgrids
from a group of independent but physically proximate small-scale generators.128 The microgrid is a very
versatile concept as it can accommodate various types of micro generators, such as wind turbines,
photovoltaic arrays, wave generators, and diesel generators.129 Although they operate mostly connected
to the distribution network, they can also be switched to the islanded mode, which is continuing to
supply electricity in an independent manner disconnected from the main grid.130 This adds an extra
measure to ensure reliability. Islanded microgrids can be later resynchronized and reconnect to the main
distribution network.131 Within the main grid, a microgrid can be regarded as a controlled entity that can
be operated as a single load or generator.132 Microgrids can function as grid support and provide ancillary
service.
Higher penetration levels of distributed generation alter grid structure and jeopardize reliable grid
operation.133 The microgrid concept is introduced to manage distributed generators in small quantities so
that more distributed generators can be employed in the grid and the negative effects of grid operation
can be reduced.134 As Figure 3.24 explains, microgrids help balance energy loads and manage the input of
distributed generation sources.

distributed generation. 135
Microgrids are commonly used in areas where transmission lines cannot easily reach a specified location.
In such locations it is usually economically infeasible to justify building transmission infrastructure to
service a community for two reasons. First, the energy demand in that community might be very low and
would not warrant building transmission lines. And secondly, geographic circumstance could make
transmission line construction very expensive. Borrego Springs, California, in north east San Diego
County, is one example of a community with such a small load that is serviced by a microgrid. There are
only 3,429 residents, as compared Hermosa Beach’s population of 19,506.136 Also, a geographic
circumstance warranting a microgrid may include servicing island communities. Catalina Island, which is
just off the coast of Long Beach, is one such example of an area that is serviced by a microgrid.

Chapter 4: Green Tariff Shared Renewables
This chapter introduces the GTSR program as outlined by California Senate Bill 43. This bill requires that
utilities propose a plan for the implementation of off-site renewable energy generation to be available to
ratepayers. In order to receive approval, these proposals must follow several specifications to ensure that
consumer and environmental interests are upheld. The proposal submitted by SCE is the Green Rate
program and is currently under review by the CPUC. The Green Rate program will offer SCE customers a
choice of either fifty or one hundred percent renewable energy generation for a twelve-month period at
an additional cost. This program would allow for energy users in Southern California to purchase
renewable energy generation through the utility.
Legislative Review of Senate Bill 43
The passage of California State Bill 43 by Governor Jerry Brown in September 2013 marked an impressive
new opportunity for California residents to participate in shared renewable energy generation. Outlined
in this bill are guiding standards for the formation of the GTSR program. Legislators and supporters of
SB 43 believe GTSR programs will lead to the expansion of renewable energy resources providing
benefits to the state, local communities, and individual households. Actions taken by each utility in
submitting GTSR program proposals show their restraint in meeting the full requirements of the bill,
which has led to strong concerns from interest groups and a ruling by the CPUC mandating further
compliance. By these regulating methods, the programs offered by each utility to their customers should
mirror the legislation. After taking a look at the causes for creation of this bill and its requirements, this
paper will review CPUC rulings and several perspectives of current weaknesses in each proposal. Then
the current proposal submitted by SCE, which covers Hermosa Beach’s energy demand, will be reviewed
including most recent amendments.
The outlining legislation for the GTSR program opens with a precursor, referencing the renewable energy
self-generation program. This existing law allows households to receive a bill credit on their account for
self-generated electricity exported to the grid.137 Opening the bill with this reference establishes the
context and applicability for the new program, which the CPUC will govern in the same manner. The
GTSR program will allow ratepayers to directly participate in eligible offsite renewable energy generation
as defined by previous legislation through a program created by each utility. Each utility’s program
application will be reviewed by the CPUC by July 1, 2014 and approved or modified as the commission
determines. If the program is deemed reasonable the commission will allow opportunity for public
comment before approval. Under penalty of law, each utility must follow the stipulations of their
proposal as submitted for the lifetime of this bill, which will repeal the program on January 1, 2019.138
There will be no reimbursements to schools or local agencies for participation in this program.
The first section of SB 43 cites reasons for establishing the GTSR program. First, the creation of more
renewable generating facilities is favorable to the state by providing “financial, health, environmental,
and workforce benefits.”139 The next subsection recounts the success of the California Solar Initiative,
137 (California State Legislature, 2013)
138 Ibid.
139 Ibid.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 54
which stimulated the construction of 150,000 onsite solar energy systems.140 Following this success, the
state expects progress when expanding support for renewable energy procurement. By implementing the
GTSR program all ratepayers would have access to benefits similar to onsite generation and a variety of
renewable resources systems would be built. Success of the newly proposed program is bolstered by the
wide interest of large, institutional customers and the flexibility of participation. The GTSR program will
similarly stimulate construction of shared generation facilities due to increased demand of renewable
energy resources. Jobs, decreased GHG emissions, and further energy independence are all benefits of
this construction, according to this section of the bill. Those institutional customers unable to fully meet
their energy demand with onsite generation, due to space or net-metering limitations can use this new
program to meet their demand. This bill mandates that non-participating ratepayers and electrical
corporations not suffer losses due to implementation, so persons opting out of the program will not face
any negative impacts. Instead this legislation should foster a sustainable market for eligible renewable
energy facilities, properly compensate electrical companies for their services, and transfer no extra cost to
non-participants.
The next chapter of SB 43 describes the definitive deadlines for the GTSR programs. Utilities, defined as
an electricity generation corporation with over 100,000 customers, must file their proposal by March 1,
2014 and the commission will report decisions on each application by July 1, 2014.141 After public
comment the commission will approve programs that are consistent with legislation. If utilities have
similar pre-existing programs offered to its ratepayers, they are exempt from this deadline.
In order for the utilities’ proposed programs to be approved they must meet several qualifications as
stipulated in SB 43. First, utilities must utilize eligible renewable energy generation with a “nameplate
rated generating capacity not exceeding twenty megawatts” except in pre-designated, impacted areas.142
Next, tools and mechanisms of procurement used in the program must be commission approved in order
for the renewable energy resources to be considered eligible. Also, all newly procured power for this
program must meet the California Renewables Portfolio Standard. Other stipulations which proposals
must include are, offering all customers under a utilities’ jurisdiction the option to purchase into the
program at a tariff approved by the commission. This means the cost to consumer should be reasonable
and not a venture to expand utility revenue. Participants may join the program until the maximum state
limit of renewables is reached at 600 megawatts (MW). Each utility will receive a size proportional
allocation of this total. Exceptions to size allocations are regions zone as environmental justice
communities, with high pollution and socioeconomic vulnerability. The City of Davis is also an
exception.143
In order to provide the largest benefit to communities, SB 43 contains several sections regarding
residential procurement and environmental justice. It mandates at least 100 MW of power be reserved for
residential customers and that local procurement options be offered to these participants. No individual
may purchase more than one hundred percent of their energy demand in renewable power or two
140 Ibid.
141 Ibid.
142 Ibid.
143 Ibid.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 55
megawatts. Government building users are exempt from this limit. Utilities are expected to purchase
power in closest proximity to their service area and create a diverse portfolio of renewable energies.144
Utilities should specifically market to minorities and low-income community members. Customers
generating qualifying forms of renewable energy will receive a bill credit equal to the cost of generation
in the class of participation is which the customer belongs and adjusted considering time-of-use versus
time-of-generation.145 Both the CPUC and the utility shall determine the tariff paid by participating
customers to cover incurred cost to the utility for procurement of more renewables. Further costs or
credits can be charged to the ratepayer, but must be approved by the commission. Utilities shall support
further development of community based renewable resources.
Finally, the commission guarantees customers fairness of pricing and cost indifference to those outside of
the GTSR program. Therefore, each utility must track costs and revenue of the program in order to ensure
transparency. Customers will be credited with any RECs earned, but if they fail to utilize these credits the
utility may count them toward its RPS. Renewable energy not demanded by customers can be applied to
the RPS of the utility and banked for future benefit of all customers. A utility must exclude kilowatt-
hours of renewable energy resources provided to program participants when calculating its procurement
requirements as mandated by the California RPS.146 Energy procured for this program must comply with
the State Air Resources Board Voluntary Renewable Electricity Program, but GHG allowances earned
with the program will be surrendered. Data regarding participation in the program and aggregate
consumption will be made public and provided to the municipality. Community choice aggregators can
offer a similar program to the GTSR. This entire program will conclude upon the repeal of the enabling
legislation on January 19, 2019.147
The timeline of processing SB 43 through government approval caused the bill to be approved before
CPUC made its ruling. Because legislative approval supersedes CPUC’s regulatory proceedings, the
CPUC still lists an undetermined position on SB 43. However, as the bill states, the CPUC will be the
governing body in monitoring GTSR Programs. As the commission proceeds in reviewing submitted
proposals by the IOU’s, a variety of association file their comments as a further regulating measure in
their interest.
Public Commentary on Proposals
As discussed, following the approval of SB 43 each large utility in California must devise a program for a
GTSR under their jurisdiction. The Vote for Solar Initiative chronicles the CPUC’s current review of
proposed programs, noting its ruling that PG&E must offer subscribers’ significant choice and flexibility
in clean energy projects.148 The Vote Solar Initiative strongly supports this decision believing that
increasing consumer choice will create greater success for the GTSR program. PG&E’s actions show
resistance to this recent ruling, while SDG&E proposes half their program contain diverse procurement of
renewables. This particular lobbyist group has some concerns with utilities’ programs moving forward,
such as proper allocation of bill credits and construction of smaller clean energy projects in

disadvantaged communities, that they will continue to monitor.149
After the submission by PG&E of their preliminary GTSR program proposal, Marin Clean Energy (MCE)
made public comment on issues the group felt were inadequately addressed. Among their comments,
MCE states that the IOU has not assured non-participants protection from cost-shifting, instead their
proposal breezes through the issue simply stating those customers will remain “indifferent.”150 No solid
provisions are given to the stakeholders associated with MCE, as they will be non-participants in this
program. The group holds that PG&E has made little effort to meet SB 43’s specific requirements and
instead submitted a cursory update of their Green Option Settlement. By pointing out the full analysis of
cost structure in SDG&E’s proposal, MCE establishes gaps in PG&E’s plan. MCE also voices concern
about program participants no longer being subject to non-bypassable charges, specifically the Cost
Allocation Mechanism.151 This charge is lacking in both SDG&E’s and PG&E’s proposed cost structure
for program participants, yet it is a charge which should apply to all ratepayers. In all, MCE is not
satisfied with the level of detail in PG&E’s proposal. In their opinion, it leaves significant chance their
stakeholders will end up burdening incurred costs of the GTSR program, though they are not
participants. This is strictly prohibited by SB43.
The City of San Francisco lodges similar complaints with PG&E’s GTSR program proposal as MCE.
Commentators specifically point out the lack of detail in the proposed cost structure and sight a
misinterpretation of a section of SB 43, which the utility provides allows them to use non-participating
ratepayers as a backstop to the GTSR program.152 By assessing the legislation in this manner, the City of
San Francisco believes PG&E will be allowed to improperly shift costs to ratepayers outside of the
program. The City of San Francisco also addresses a lack of opportunity for purchasing energy from local
renewable sources, a stipulation of SB 43.153 In supporting the interests of both program participants and
non-participants, the City of San Francisco makes note that PG&E does not explicitly state how renewable
resources added for the GTSR program are in excess to the energy procured for California’s RPS.
The commentary provided by California Utility Employees concerns both PG&E’s and SDG&E’s
proposal. They support the efforts made by the utility, claiming that the programs are consistent with SB
43. Because PG&E’s GTSR program served as a model for SB 43, the group contends that it meets all of
the legislation’s requirements. This statement of support is loosely worded, stating that PG&E’s program
meets SB 43 “at face value” and at its core is “in the public interest.”154 Comparing this terminology to the
very specific concerns of the previous interests groups shows the huge disparity in opinion between
supporters and non-supporters of the utility’s proposal. Comments by California Utility Employees offer
support of both programs based on the intent of each utility to provide more renewable energy to
customers, rather than analyzing the specific operations required by SB 43.
Environmental justice provisions written into SB 43 were included with the help of the California
Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) and the California Environmental Protection Agency. As experts
on this subject, CEJA comments reflect specific concern for these issues. The organization believes the

“disadvantages communities” referenced by SB 43 should be identified by a proven and publicly
disclosed method.155 This way the 100MW allocation to these particular communities will be ensured, not
subject to economically advantageous zoning by the providing utility. PG&E’s program glosses over its
environmental justice requirements by stating often slighted by economic interests. CEJA’s full
commentary seeks to champion this issue.
Green Rate: Southern California Edison
SCE's current proposal that is under revision by the CPUC covers 269 MW, their proportionate share of
the 600 MW limitation established by SB 43.156 Customers with Bundled Service will be offered 50 or 100
percent of their energy consumption within twelve months of proposal approval. Each customer is
limited to one hundred percent of their consumption or 2 MW. Enrollment for the Green Rate has no
minimum load requirement. However, customers who enroll in the Green Rate program and later cancel
must wait one year before re-enrollment.157
Southern California Edison Proposal
The following information covers the proposal for the Green Rate and amendments made to the program
submitted by SCE to the CPUC on January 10, 2014 and March 11, 2014 respectively. This reflects the
most up to date information regarding enrollment, pricing, RECs, marketing, and program alterations
that are pending approval by the commission.
Enrollment
Ratepayers under SCE's territory can enroll in the Green Rate through four avenues. They can visit the
online web portal, call the SCE call center, submit a paper form, or contact their assigned account
manager. Though there are many options to enroll, customers are unlikely to flock to the Green Rate. SCE
expects only .05% of its customer base to enroll in the Green Rate.158
Pricing
Two extra fees will be added to Green Rate participant’s bills. The Green Rate Charge covers renewable
integration, market participation, program administration, the green rate portfolio, and resource
adequacy costs. The Generation Credit encompasses fees from class average retail generation rate,
indifference adjustment, time-of-delivery adjustment, resource adequacy adjustment, and other CPUC
approved costs.159 These two charges will be in addition to the ratepayers otherwise applicable bill
charges.

Renewable Energy Certificates
SCE proposes to retire the RECs generated from participation in the Green Rate on behalf of the customer
to ensure this renewable energy is additional to RPS goals. However, the proposal also states that any
procurement of renewables that is not used from Green Rate subscriptions will be "reincorporated back
into SCE's renewables portfolio and count toward RPS goals."160 More renewable power will be procured
by SCE to fulfill RPS goals if the energy reserved for Green Rate subscriptions is completely consumed.
Taking a closer look at SB 43 in the context of various renewable energy regulations provides additional
insight into the addition of renewable energy procured under SB 43. Additionality it refers to whether or
not the energy would be produced if not for the enabling policy or financing, in this case SB 43. As
previously stated, California utilities are mandated to reach 33% renewables by 2020. The intent of the SB
43 legislation is that electricity procured for compliance will be in acquired in addition to the 33% needed
for this policy goal. Electricity used by the City of Hermosa Beach consumers under SCE’s Green Rate
option will only be additional if three conditions are met:
1. Hermosa Beach customers enroll in the Green Rate program prior to 2020
2. These customers maintain their status in the program through 2020
3. The SB 43 is extended beyond its planned sunset in 2019 to 2020,
Thus, there is some risk that the electricity produced for the consumers of the City of Hermosa Beach
under SCE’s Green Rate will not lead to long-term reductions in GHG emissions needed to pursue carbon
neutrality.
Understanding international standards of GHG accounting will be key in order to determine the potential
environmental benefit of switching to renewable energy with the Green Rate. As established by the
World Resources Institute along with other stakeholders, the GHG Protocol’s Scope 2 guidance sets the
standard for accounting an entity’s GHG from electricity.161
Until SCE begins the Green Rate program, it is not possible to determine if Hermosa Beach will be
credited with GHG reductions of electricity from subscriptions. However, understanding the principles
of GHG accounting will benefit the community in their decision process toward the decarbonization of
electricity production. The most recent Scope 2 Accounting protocol considers many aspects of purchased
renewable energy projects when calculating their emissions. These attributes include emissions from
production and purchasing of instruments, identifying intended uses of instruments, assuring the quality
of procured energy, preventing double counting of emissions attributes, surveying regional approaches
to accounting, identifying the range of reporting, and creating appropriate calculations specific to the
ownership of the renewable energy attribute.162
As different energies enter the grid they become indistinguishable, therefore the most important factor in
160 Ibid.
161(World Resources Institute, 2012)
162 Ibid.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 59
determining emissions is tracking the source of energy production. Most notably, energy attribute
certificates are logged and tracked for each unit of energy purchased. Generally these certificates are
issued for renewable energy redeemed directly by the consumer participating in a voluntary program or
by the utility. Through the use of RECs the utility can demonstrate their compliance with the California
RPS and GTSR program demand. The GTSR program should in effect create a greater demand for RECs
shifting the supply to less carbon-intensive energy. However, market analysis has shown that long-term
contracts for RECs more effectively alter grid energy composition. This discrepancy in voluntary
programs has led to greater vigilance in GHG reporting by the GHG Scope 2 Protocol. Now the guidance
requires market-based method reporting, a recognition of a range of contractual instruments, all quality
criteria be met, disclosure on regulatory relationships, and recommends purchase feature disclosure.163
All of these measures are in an effort to provide reliable data to the energy purchaser and protect the
integrity of low carbon intensity energy. Because long-term REC contracts can have a greater effect on
renewable energy generation and grid composition than short-term purchases, Hermosa Beach should
look to see that either the CCA or SCE’s GTSR program offering use multi-year REC contracts in order to
ensure real, additional renewable energy on the grid.
Marketing Green Rate
In order to utilize funds most efficiently, SCE will target marketing efforts to customers 'most likely' to
enroll in the Green Rate. SCE defines this group as rate-payers currently in all Bundled Service.164 This
section mentions making efforts to include low income customers, however no detailed plan of outreach
and education is explained. In general, this section is vague and focuses only on an efficient budget and
saving money.
Green Rate Balance Account
SCE intends to recover all extra costs from implementing the Green Rate subscription process.The utility
intends to establish a Green Rate Balance Account where all differences in Green Rate related costs are
recorded. Entries should only include actual cost, and will result in the calculated cost per kWh of the
Green Rate annually. Furthermore, as yearly costs vary in procurement, SCE proposes to refund or
recover costs from the account, once it is established. The account would be monitored by the CPUC.165
SCE recommends CPUC oversee its activity in the same method it reviews other balancing accounts and
contracts.
Proposal Amendments
Due to an error in determining eligible facilities of renewable energy generation, SCE now forecasts
different rates for customers opting into the Green Rate. Originally the utility projected 271 projects
within their territory.166 Now they have corrected their statement to include only 214 projects causing
adjustment to the 2015 Green Rate Portfolio Charge, Time-of-Delivery Adjustment, Generation Credit,
and the revenue requirement for 2015. Listed below are the current estimated charges by SCE

Public Commentary: Specific to SCE Proposal
Several third parties submitted responses to SCE’s Green Rate proposal. The Interstate Renewable Energy
Council (IREC) filed several briefs with the CPUC in opposition to the proposals made by PG&E, SDG&E,
and SCE. Their concerns center around the price structure dictated in these utilities' current plans. As a
non-profit, IREC provides a third party insight to the proposal proceedings and offers a wealth of
experience dealing with regulatory energy policy. Using this experience, IREC came to the conclusion
that current proposal rates would hinder consumer access to renewable energy rather than support SB
43's legislative mission.167 Included in their briefs, are opposition to the utilities’ rate structure regarding
non-participant indifference, price fluctuation, and total cost.
The first aspect of rate design which the IREC takes issue with is in regards to ratepayer indifference. The
IREC contends that non-participants will actually benefit, as the utility also stands as a non-participant.
Currently charges listed as "resource adequacy value," administrative costs, and "renewable energy
generation rate" are variable.168 This lack of stability and ultimate fluctuation in price could be used to
benefit the utility, not provide economical access to low-impact energy. Essentially the IREC argues that
non-participants are free riding off the benefits provided by GTSR program in the long-run. As California
begins to standardize higher renewable energy requirements for utilities, projects attained for GTSR
program subscriptions will become relevant to all ratepayers, therefore placing a burden of establishment
costs on only participants while supplying the long-term benefit to everyone. Furthermore, program
167 (Interstate Renewable Energy Council, 2014a)
168 Ibid.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 61
participants are "facilitating a strong renewable energy market" for future use.169 An SDG&E
representative already expressed opposition to incorporating long term benefits into non-participant bill
accounting. In further testimony, the SDG&E representative acknowledged that ratepayer indifference
includes ensuring that all participants receive the full benefits associated with the costs they provide, but
rejects the cost benefit methodology for distributed generation created by Decision D.170 Instead both
utilities insist that costs and credits to participants should be determined by the Direct Access
methodology. This is a short-term framework which IREC describes as designed to allow customers to
purchase renewable energy at market-price, rather than a utilities generation supply.171 The intent of
GTSR programs is to develop new renewable generation facilities, therefore long-term benefits to non-
participants greatly exceeds the short-term Direct Access framework for indifference, leaving program
participants with a loss of value.
Next, IREC contends that each utility can provide a more stable rate structure for participants in GTSR
programs. They reason that in general there are months where served customers pay more or less for
services rendered on a normal electricity plan.172 Cost accuracy is currently imperfect. It is nonsensical to
assume GTSR program accounts will avoid this if the utility fluctuates rates frequently. Furthermore for
the utilities’ to contest fixed rates under the pretense they cannot support them is misguided. SCE must
buy power on time scale of twenty years. They could not require suppliers to charge on a yearly basis
according to short-term market fluctuations.173 For these reasons, IREC suggests a model for GTSR
programs which includes fixed rates based on the term of a participant's commitment to make
participation more financially accessible.174
Last, IREC establishes a price comparison between each utility, determining SCE’s proposal significantly
more expensive, warranting a re-evaluation of its rate design. SCE’s current premium for the Green Rate
is inappropriate proven by the fact that it is well in excess of the national and California average for green
pricing programs, PG&E’s, and SDG&E’s proposed rates.175 See table for side by side comparison.

Chapter 5: Community Choice Aggregation
One option to bring carbon neutral electricity to the City of Hermosa Beach is the establishment of a CCA,
allowed by the implementation of AB 117. Under a CCA, the community can specifically allocate sources
of electricity generation. Thus, a CCA gives autonomy to the City of Hermosa Beach to select zero
emissions energy and accomplish their goal of carbon neutrality. Furthermore, a CCA is structured such
that the public utility would continue their role of long range transmission, community distribution, and
billing. As a result, IOUs will continue with such duties and would charge a fee for their services. In order
to offset the additional charges of IOUs’ services, the City of Hermosa Beach may consider implementing
a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The formation of a JPA will be beneficial as it will integrate progressive
cities into the CCA to divide costs. Collectively, a CCA would give the City of Hermosa Beach control
over its sources of electricity procurement, but a JPA is a plausible solution to mitigate the additional
surcharges. This chapter explains the details of establishing a CCA.
Figure 5.1. This graphic describes CCA to a customer.177
177 (Lean Energy U.S., 2014)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 64
History
The first CCA project occurred in Massachusetts in 1997 in Cape Cod which successfully led to the
creation of Cape Light Compact. In a short period of time, the idea of CCA was able to expand to other
states including Ohio and Illinois. In 1997, California’s electricity market was restructured in order to
increase competition between electricity suppliers and reduce rates. This reform was not very effective as
many customers failed to participate due to the cost and inconvenience of switching to another energy
provider. In the early 2000’s California experienced an energy crisis which escalated the call for change in
energy policy. The new pressure for increased energy options eventually led to the passage of California
State Assembly Bill 117 (AB 117).
California State Assembly Bill 117
AB 117 was passed in 2002. It sets the legal precedent for a CCA and it provides the guidelines for CCA
programs in California. A CCA program can be formed by any community governing board that “elects
to combine the loads of its residents, businesses, and municipal facilities in a community-wide electricity
buyers’ program.” In addition, a group of cities, counties or both can form a CCA through the formation
of a JPA with a Joint Powers Agreement.178
Attempted Community Choice Aggregation Programs in California
There have been a number of communities in California where CCA options have been explored, two of
which are operational while others are on the horizon. Table 5.1 is a list of governmental bodies that have
explored the implementation of a CCA in their community and their current implementation status:

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 65
Power Purchase Agreement
If the City of Hermosa Beach establishes a CCA, it will have to procure electricity from independent
power producers (IPP) through PPAs. A PPA is a contract between an IPP and a buyer that dictates
electricity production, delivery, and payment. Through PPAs, buyers can selectively allocate the source of
energy, thus most PPA’s correlate to solar production and other means of renewable energy. Most PPAs
typically last 5-20 years.
The main entities involved in a PPA are the IPP, buyer, and utility company. A buyer negotiates with the
IPP to supply them with a certain amount of electricity. A contract then binds the IPP to the buyer for an
arranged number of years. Through that contract, the IPP must supply all the agreed amount of electricity
and must arrange a cost for the longevity of the contract. The utility company will deliver the electricity
from the IPP to the buyer through its transmission lines. The utility company will charge a fee for its
service and they will also bill the customer. The utility company is given this task because they can easily
tell from their metering how much electricity each customer uses.
Benefits of Community Choice Aggregation
CCA programs provide various benefits to the regions that they serve. These benefits are directly related
to the nature of a CCA which allows local governments, rather than the IOU, to make decisions about
power procurement. Currently, SCE performs the task of power procurement for the City of Hermosa
Beach. In all areas of the state not served by an established CCA or a direct access agreement, customers
do not choose from where and how their energy is produced. A CCA transfers the authority from the
IOU to the community, so that community members along with their local governing board can decide
how their electricity is purchased and generated. Further, a CCA could provide competition for both
lower rates and for a higher percentage of renewables in electricity generation.
A CCA is a local not-for-profit agency that is generally overseen by elected officials or their appointees
and managed by a hired staff or a contracted service provider. The incorporation of city officials ensures
that energy procurement decisions are made in light of the community’s goals. If the City of Hermosa
Beach started a CCA, it would have a much greater level of control in energy policies.
Due to the bulk power purchases a CCA makes, it possesses greater leverage upon the negotiation of
rates with IPPs. Therefore, there can be a potential expansion in the market for competitively priced
renewable power generation. The two CCAs that are currently operational in California are MCE and
Sonoma Clean Power (SCP). Both CCAs were able to provide their customers with more renewable
energy rates that are slightly lower than their IOU, PG&E. This is shown in Table 5.2 and 5.3.

CCAs in California have proven to offer competitive rates compared to current energy providers while
increasing the renewable energy load. However, customers do need to pay more than the general utility
rate to receive energy from 100% renewable sources. Due to its earlier formation, MCE has had more time
to refine its program by establishing better financial practices and acquiring more energy procurement
contracts, therefore allowing them to offer a higher RPS for the cheaper option.
Starting a Community Choice Aggregation Program
Political action is crucial to the implementation of a CCA as there needs to be a simple majority to
approve the program. First, the city will need to explore the feasibility of forming a new CCA by
performing a calculated feasibility study. Once the analysis is complete the results are used to guide the
town in their voting. After the vote, additional research and approvals are required to ensure the long-
term success of the CCA. Many of these approvals come from the CPUC, who is in charge of overseeing
and regulating energy companies as well as CCA programs. Table 5.4 shows the first steps to forming a
CCA, which are further elaborated in the following sections, each of which require the approval of the
city council.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 67
Table 5.4. Steps to Start a CCA
Steps to Start a CCA
1) Perform a feasibility study which assesses the potential of CCA in a given community
2) Establish a JPA with nearby communities to aggregate total demanded load (optional)
3) Write an Implementation Plan that fulfills the CPUC’s requirements
4) Submit a Statement of Intent (SI) to the CPUC and wait for correspondence
5) Once (SI) is approved, submit formal application for registration to the CPUC
6) Begin following through with Implementation Plan to build CCA
1) Feasibility Study
In order to fully assess the economic impacts and viability of a CCA, the City of Hermosa Beach should
consult with a third party to create a feasibility report. Navigant Consulting is an existing firm that has
experience conducting the feasibility report for MCE. Furthermore, John Dalessi, a former senior
management at Navigant, created his own firm called Dalessi Management Consulting. Thus John
Dalessi has expertise in CCA cost analysis because of his association with the feasibility reports for both
SCP and MCE. Due to the importance of an accurate feasibility study, the costs of the third party
consultation may be significant. Sonoma stated that the cost of the study should not exceed $150,000, but
due to service extensions and new agreements this limit has been exceeded by $101,000.180
The City of Hermosa Beach might not need to bear the full cost of a feasibility report if it joins with other
cities or considers joining an existing CCA. For example, the City of Albany, CA is similar in size (1.8
square miles) and population (18,969 people) to the City of Hermosa Beach. Albany set aside $20,000 for a
city-scale feasibility study in consideration of joining MCE.181 Thus costs to generate a feasibility report
for a single city joining a JPA with an existing CCA may be significantly lower than if the city decides to
establish a CCA alone. The cost of a city joining a JPA with an existing CCA may be closer to $20,000.182
This is significantly lower to the $251,000 that Marin County set aside for its county wide feasibility
report.183
2) Joint Powers Authority
The City of Hermosa Beach currently has a population of 19,773, and an annual electricity demand of 78
GWh. Due to the city’s small demand, bargaining power may be limited when negotiating with IPPs,
leading to higher electricity costs per kWh. Simultaneously, this demand may be too large to be supplied
by the excess electricity of an IPP. A possible solution for this size demand, is creation of a JPA with
neighboring communities.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 68
A JPA is an entity that can jointly exercise power over the participating communities in order to combine
resources and address a common issue. This would allow a CCA to aggregate the electrical loads of other
communities in the area, thereby increasing the CCA’s power to negotiate low-cost renewable energy
contracts from an IPP. In effect, this would increase the buying power of the City of Hermosa Beach,
allowing for the formation of an effective CCA. Start-up costs can also be spread out causing the financial
risk of a forming CCA to be mitigated for each participating city. Resources from each city in the JPA can
be shared and used efficiently between all parties involved.
Benefits of a Joint Powers Authority for a Community Choice Aggregation
JPAs are beneficial as they promote synergism between cities in order to reach a common goal. JPAs work
efficiently to ensure that the foundation of a CCA is centralized by hiring staff that will be representative
of all cities in the JPA. As a result of a centralized system, overlapping services will be reduced and there
will be a consistency of service amongst cities participating in the JPA.
Once a JPA is established, the addition of cities into the JPA will be beneficial and less risky. Generally, as
a JPA expands, the risk is lessened upon financing a CCA. A JPA also provides a way of mitigating risk
for the cities involved by separating the budget and assets of a CCA from the general funds of the
member cities. The debts and liability of a JPA do not extend to its member cities.184 A city can be a part of
JPA, but not necessarily be serviced by its associated CCA. However, for those cities involved in the JPA,
it is much easier for them to be incorporated into the CCA. For example the City of Richmond, California
was a part of the JPA Marin Energy Authority since 2008, and recently in 2013 began receiving service
from MCE. During an interview with Ben Choi, an account manager for MCE, he stated that there was
little to no financial risk to Richmond as it entered into the established CCA.185 MCE was already
established and running smoothly. There was no reason for Richmond to believe that entering the CCA
would jeopardize their energy reliability. By joining Richmond was able to increase its renewable
portfolio. At the same time, MCE was able to increase its purchasing power while decreasing the amount
of overall financial risk from an increased load and customer base.
Risks of a Joint Powers Authority and Potential Solutions
Despite the increase in buying power that comes with a JPA, the voice of the City of Hermosa Beach may
be overpowered in a JPA due to its small size, low electricity demand, and thus expected lesser influence
in the JPA’s goals. If a JPA is established with neighboring cities, a JPA council must be created with
representatives from each party. If a large scale JPA is implemented in the South Bay and the number of
representatives in the JPA council is based on population size, the City of Hermosa Beach risks losing
significant authority over JPA council actions.
To counter this, the JPA can be structured in a similar way to MCE’s JPA: Marin Energy Authority. Marin
Energy Authority partitions half of the voting shares equally to each member city and the other half of
the voting shares according to each city’s annual energy usage.186 This helps ensure that representation is
184 (Lancaster Choice Energy, 2014)
185 (Choi, 2014a)
186 (Marin Energy Authority, 2012a)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 69
fair between each city, while still recognizing city size. The JPA can also be structured so that only
founding cities have a say in the decision making. If desired, the charter can be expanded to include more
cities. The City of Hermosa Beach’s goal is to achieve carbon-free electricity; consequently it should make
sure to explicitly present this goal when forming a JPA, as other cities might not have this same objective.
If the City of Hermosa Beach can form a JPA while meeting its goals of carbon neutrality, it should do so.
Ideally, the JPA would be focused on providing 100% renewable electricity generation.
Effective Joint Powers Authority Size for a Community Choice Aggregation
An effective CCA is able to provide a higher amount of renewable energy to its customers at a
competitive price. In order to do this, a CCA must have a large enough electricity demand to increase
their purchasing power and reduce fixed costs as a percentage of total costs.
Marin County and Sonoma County both run CCAs that are competitive with PG&E’s rates and provide a
greater percentage of renewable energy. The JPA energy load size of Marin and Sonoma serve as
examples from existing CCA programs.
A comparison of the counties’ energy loads are shown in Table 5.5 to compare how large a newly created
CCA should be. The estimates are the total load of the counties before opt-out rates are factored in. The
chart depicts the load of the entire county regardless of enrollment. Some cities in both counties elected
not to participate in the CCA, so these numbers can only serve as a rough estimate to the necessary load,
but are useful for modeling.
Table 5.5. Electricity load for Marin and Sonoma County.187
Type of Load Marin (2010) Sonoma (2010)
Non-Residential (GWh) 716.66 1,520.57
Residential (GWh) 705.54 1,354.34
Total (GWh) 1,422.21 2,874.91
In comparison, the total load of the City of Hermosa Beach was 77.97 GWh during the same year.
3) Implementation Plan
Another step that must be taken to start a CCA is the creation and submission of an Implementation Plan
to the CPUC for approval. This plan would investigate feasibility and assess the benefits and challenges
of a CCA in the specified area. In addition, the CPUC uses the plan to determine the cost responsibility
surcharge (CRS).188 This surcharge prevents the existing electricity supplier from experiencing an increase
in costs due to lost customers. The electricity supplier, namely the IOU, uses customer’s payments to
finance the high cost of building transmission lines. The CRS is a measure used to protect the IOU from
losing its initial investment needed to serve customers. According to AB 117, an Implementation Plan
must include several attributes in order to reach approval at public hearing by the CPUC.

First, the Implementation Plan must explain the “organizational structure of the program, its operations,
and its funding.”189 This includes how the CCA is run, as well as how the leaders in the CCA are chosen.
It also outlines what each person’s duties are and how decisions are made. Second, the plan also entails
rate setting and other costs to participants.190 This section can include a plan to keep rates stable,
competitive with the IOU, and a plan to ensure that the CCA will be able to pay back its costs over time.
AB 117 also requires provisions for transparency in determining rates and public disclosure when the
CCA votes to adjust established prices.191
Third, the plan includes methods for entering and terminating agreements with other entities. “The rights
and responsibilities of program participants, including, but not limited to, consumer protection
procedures, credit issues, and shut off procedures.” All this means that the plan will include procedures
for customer opt-outs and what happens if the whole CCA program is terminated. Fourth, the plan also
includes a description of the third parties electricity suppliers. the description covers the information
about financial, technical, and operational capabilities.192
Finally, an implementation plan should also include a statement of intent. The statement of intent should
ensure universal access and equal treatment of all classes of customers within the CCA’s service area.
Reliability of service should also be ensured and any additional requirements from state law or the CPUC
concerning aggregated service should be addressed here. Examples of implementation plans can be
found in Table 5.6.

4) Statement of Intent
A prospective CCA must submit a Statement of Intent to the CPUC in order to begin service. This filing
includes a detailed Implementation Plan that the CCA is expected to follow if their application is
accepted. The application will include any additional information that the CPUC requests, a service
agreement with the serving utility, and evidence of insurance or bond. The insurance or bond value must
cover costs such as potential re-entry fees into the IOU, penalties for failing to meet operational deadlines,
and forecasting errors that may come with the CCA.193
5) Application for Registration
The application for formal registering is the process that the CPUC uses to officially catalog the formation
of a CCA. Through this application the CPUC is able to legally oversee the CCA to ensure that it is
following mandates. Once the application is processed the CCA operation status will be officially active
and the CCA can begin executing its tasks listed in the Implementation Plan.
6) Building a Community Choice Aggregation Program
When first creating a CCA, involved governments must make many decisions that will be key
determinants of future success. One of the more critical decisions is whether or not to join with other local
governments to establish a joint CCA program with the formation of a JPA. As detailed above in the JPA
discussion, establishing a joint program can reduce the City of Hermosa Beach’s control over future CCA
decisions by spreading out control to many cities. To sidestep this risk, the City of Hermosa Beach can
ask to have certain regulations written into the bylaws, or contract, of the JPA. Hermosa Beach should
request that 100% renewable energy would be procured so that it may achieve its goal of decarbonizing
electricity generation. The City of Hermosa Beach should request that specific bylaws be adopted into the
JPA in advance in order to ensure that its wishes can be accommodated.194 Two important objectives that
must be pursued early are, the RPS, and the entity that the renewable energy will be procured from.
Without clearly stating these two objectives, directing the CCA would be difficult.

Funding a Community Choice Aggregation
A CCA requires an initial investment for formation and thereafter the CCA is funded through revenues
eventually resulting in the return of the initial investment. When Marin County was moving forward
with its CCA in 2011, Shawn E. Marshall, a project consultant and vice chair of the Marin Energy
Authority, estimated that forming a new CCA in California would cost approximately $1.5 to $2 million.
This included planning, a feasibility report , the costs associated with the JPA formation, and working
capital needed to cover initial operations. The costs of implementing a CCA according to SCP are shown
in Table 5.9.
MCE began providing electricity to it’s initial 8,100 customers in May 2010 and by 2013, the customer
base has then significantly expanded to approximately 90,000 customers.195 During the developmental
stage in 2009-2010, debt was issued to fund its operations. After MCE was able to secure a substantial
amount of customers, revenues began to stabilize, resulting in a positive change in net position. With
much success, in the 2010-2011 fiscal year, revenues have exceeded expenses by over $1.2 million causing
net assets to increase from a $961,000 deficit to a positive $319,000.196 Thereafter, in the 2012-2013 fiscal
year, revenues rose by nearly $4 million resulting a net position of almost $8 million by the end of the
fiscal year in March.197 From MCE’s 2012-2013 financial statement, it’s economic outlook intends to
continue its conservative use of financial resources and expects ongoing operating profits.

A Joint Community Choice Aggregation Program is directed by a governing body which is made up of
representative for each of the cities. The governing body essentially sets policy and directs staff to ensure
the smooth day-to-day operations of the CCA. Table 5.10 is the staffing plan for MCE.

Time Frame for Establishment
The formation of a CCA may take place over several years. However, since the formation of MCE,
California’s first CCA, the amount of time necessary to establish a fully functional CCA has reduced by
more than half. This is evidenced in the cases of SCP and Lancaster Community Choice Aggregation
(LCCA). The amount of time taken to form a CCA in each of these cases is compared in Table 5.11.
The concept of a CCA was relatively new in California when Marin County first expressed interest in
forming one. Their successful navigation of this formerly uncharted territory has served as an example
for the formation of subsequent CCAs. One of the most noticeable differences between MCE and SCP is
the time between the publishing of a feasibility report and the formation of a JPA. For MCE, this process
took over three and a half years. In the case of SCP, however, the JPA was established in just over a year
following the feasibility report. A possible explanation for this is that Marin’s example eliminated some of
the doubt surrounding the risks associated with CCAs and JPAs, making other municipalities less
skeptical to join in such an endeavor. Furthermore, comparisons of the total time needed to form CCAs in
Marin, Sonoma, and Lancaster show undeniable evidence that practice increases efficiency. While MCE
required five years from the time of the finalized feasibility report to the formation of a functional CCA,
SCP took less than three. LCCA is anticipated to require even less time and is anticipated to launch in
May 2015, just over a year following the feasibility report. From these examples it can be deduced that
199 (Marin Energy Authority, 2011)

starting a CCA in the South Bay would not be as time intensive as the creation of other programs in the
past.

Community Choice Aggregation Program Roll-Out
Upon the enrollment of customers, CCA programs use the phase approach to enroll customers. It enrolls
customers gradually in different phases to ensure operations run smoothly in order to identify issues on a
smaller scale to prevent future occurrences. An issue of phasing may include losing the production of
renewable energy from one of the contracted energy producers. However, with fewer customers initially
enrolled there is more room to make mistakes without jeopardizing the provision of energy for
customers. Additionally, phasing produces an advocacy base in enrolled customers that will increase
public engagement and awareness. Specifically, it can restore confidence in residents and business
owners that CCAs do have smooth management operations and that they can provide reliable and
affordable renewable energy.
Phasing allows a CCA to be more cost efficient by initiating phasing with municipal and commercial
organizations that have a larger and more predictable load. The cost efficiency characteristics will allow
the CCA to easily estimate larger electricity loads which will allow the CCA to recover a larger portion of
costs than if they were to begin servicing residents with smaller loads.
The first and smallest stage of phasing begins with the enrollment of municipal and commercial accounts.
In the second phase, additional customers are enrolled, and in the third phase, the remaining customers
are enrolled in the CCA.

Investor Owned Utility Opposition to Community Choice Aggregation
IOUs may view CCAs as a threat as it introduces competition to what largely has been a natural
monopoly. Any attempt to form a new CCA or join an existing CCA may face resistance from existing
IOUs due to the loss of customers. The legislation that established a pathway for CCA formation in
California, AB 117, requires that: "all electrical corporations shall cooperate fully with any community
choice aggregators that investigate, pursue, or implement community choice aggregation programs."206
Due to AB 117, IOUs are legally bound to cooperate with the implementation and the operation of a CCA
despite its opposition. However, the CCA-enabling legislation is subject to change.
The San Joaquin Valley Power Authority (SJVPA) was one of the first agencies to officially explore the
option of a CCA. In June 2007, SJVPA filed a complaint against PG&E with CPUC alleging that PG&E
was actively opposing the creation of a CCA. Before this complaint, there were no other signs that an IOU
203 (Marin Energy Authority, 2012b)
204 (Sonoma Clean Power, 2013)
205 (City Council of Lancaster, 2014)
206 (California State Legislature, 2002)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 77
would oppose the formation of a CCA. In March 2009, SJVPA raised concerns with CPUC staff regarding
PG&E actively attempting to convince customers to opt out of CCA service even though SJVPA had not
informed customers that CCA service was beginning.207 In June 2009, SJVPA decided to suspend their
efforts to establish a CCA program and “along with the tight credit market, the volatility in energy prices
and the uncertainty with California’s energy regulations, SJVPA cited strong opposition from PG&E as
one of the factors leading to its decision to suspend the program.”208
In the case of MCE, PG&E actively tried to convince customers in Marin that a CCA was not an option
worth pursuing. According to the CPUC, PG&E has been cited for many violations of the rules and
regulations governing IOU activities surrounding CCA formation. These violations include soliciting
customers via telephone calls to opt out of the program and sending letters to residents that had received
an opt-out notice in order to encourage customers to do so.209
According to PG&E, customer rates pay for normal utility functions, while some spending, known as
“below the line” spending, is paid by shareholders. This spending is classified but may include “political
activities and contributions, charitable contributions, brand image advertising”210 Many of these funds
might have gone towards anti-CCA campaigns. However, without a formal audit, the validity of the
complaints that the CPUC received cannot be verified. The table below depicts PG&E’s CCA related
shareholder spending in three areas it serves at the time of considering or starting a CCA.

Shareholder Spending
SJVPA $3,954,501
Marin County/MCE $4,226,703
San Francisco CCA $1,631,080
PG&E was the main proponent in favor of 2010 California Proposition 16, which if passed would have
created additional barriers on the creation of a CCA program. According to the official campaign finance
disclosures, PG&E provided $46.4 million of the $46.5 million in contributions to the campaign.212 The
details of Proposition 16 are discussed in a later section.

Risks of forming a Community Choice Aggregation Program
Many of the risks related to CCA programs are associated with costs due to unanticipated events. These
events include increasing costs of a CCA, a change in the CRS and the implementation of AB 2145. AB
2145 will be discussed in a later section. Most importantly financing remains a crucial impediment. One
senior staffer with MCE commented on recommendations and feasibility of a CCA by saying, “There are
three legs to the CCA stool, political, technical, and financial. And the greatest of these three is
financial.”213 This is because CCAs do not begin generating ratepayer funds until power contracts have
been approved and customers have been transferred from the incumbent utility.214 And once transferred,
the CCA must be able to keep customers satisfied. If rates of energy imposed by the CCA are intolerably
greater than those from the IOU, customers may become dissatisfied and return to the IOU. CCA’s are
not for profit entities and do not have an excess pool of capital by which to sacrifice in the event that
customer acquisition is unsuccessful.
Dalessi Management Consulting, the consulting group which created the feasibility report for Sonoma
County reports that “over the 20-year study period, consumers would pay between 3% and 8% more than
PG&E rates.”215 Dalessi also stated that “projected rates will be slightly higher than PG&E’s to begin, then
trended down below PG&E’s rates over time.”216 As initial rates may be at a premium, customers might
logically return to the IOU for lower pricing. For this reason it is especially important to emphasize that
customers enrolled with the CCA would be receiving a higher grade of energy from renewable sources
and would be contributing to local community government, as opposed to private management. Another
reason why rates may rise would be due to CRS fluctuations in accordance with the market price which
will be explained further in the chapter.
Additionally, the passing of AB 2145 poses a great risk to CCAs due to its opt-in clause which may
significantly decrease program participation. If a CCA fails to secure enough customers they will
potentially lose bargaining power when securing contracts. The large magnitude of lost customers can
potentially dissolve a CCA by resulting in a CCA that fails to generate enough revenue to pay for its
costs.
Dalessi Management Consulting reports that CCAs are subject to additional risks such as:
● “A CCA could over-rely on long‐term contracts with fixed prices, potentially
resulting in a high‐cost portfolio at a time when market prices are falling.217
● “A CCA’s energy suppliers could default on supply contracts (credit risk) at times
when energy spot markets are high, forcing the CCA to purchase energy at
relatively high prices”218

● “Customers could fail to pay the CCA’s charges, and the CCA’s credit policies and
customer deposits may be insufficient to recover the uncollectible bills”219
● “The IOU could make changes to rates that reduce the cost of generation
and increase the costs of delivery services or that shift costs among customer classes in a manner
that disadvantages the customer mix served by a CCA”220
Customer-Related Issues
When a CCA is established in a community, all customers are enrolled in the CCA unless they choose to
opt-out. Customers may not notice any direct effects due to the establishment of a CCA because the
changes are mostly internal. Customers will still continue to pay their bills to the IOU as billing will
continue to be handled by the IOU, but the generation service rates will be determined by the City of
Hermosa Beach. Table 5.16 is SCE’s CCA handbook that explains the responsibilities of the CCA and the
IOU. Figure 5.4 is a sample CCA bill from PG&E.

The Importance of Public Engagement
Public engagement is crucial for the operation of a CCA as it is established on the basis of community
choice. The effectiveness of a CCA increases significantly with a larger customer base, thus this is a
pivotal element of a successful program. In order to accomplish this, energy consultants from Navigant
Consulting recommend “incorporation of a more comprehensive community engagement and education
program to motivate residents and businesses to do their part in addressing climate change.”224 This
means that outreach and education will be imperative to evoke participation. Through these programs,
the public can learn the details of a CCA, including the process, impacts and benefits. For example, open
council meetings offer opportunities for citizens to learn about the operation and establishment of a CCA
while also voicing their concerns. These and other similar forums increase transparency and public
awareness, allowing for a CCA to truly represent the popular interest. Additionally, the knowledge that
individual input can significantly impact a city’s policy increases resident involvement and satisfaction.
Therefore, when residents pay electricity bills, they feel confident that their money is spent locally in the
way that they want.
Customer Options
Once a CCA program is established, each customer has the option to participate or opt out. The two
CCAs currently operating in California provide the opportunity for customers to decide between two
levels of renewable energy usage. In the case of MCE, customers that do not opt-out of the program start
at a base level of 50% renewable energy but have a choice of upgrading to 100% renewable energy usage.
SCP customers default to 33% or choose 100%.
Opting Out
Under AB 117, when a CCA program is established in a community, all customers within its jurisdiction
are transferred over to service by the CCA unless they opt out. If a customer chooses to opt out, they
remain with the existing utility. Each customer must be given two notices of their opportunity to opt out
of their community’s program before being enrolled and two notices after they are enrolled during the
first two billing cycles. If the customer has not opted out after these four notices, no additional notices
will be given and they will continue to be enrolled in the CCA.
California law requires that there be no consequences to opting out. However, if a customer does opt out,
they cannot return to CCA service until one and a half years have passed. Speaking with MCE account
manager Ben Choi, he further explained that if an opt out occurs after the initial sixty days of service,
such as 4 months into having service with MCE, then the re-enrollment waiting period would be in effect.
If, however, the customer opts out before enrollment in MCE, or within the first couple of months of
service, the customer would be eligible to enroll in MCE at any time.225 The information from Mr. Choi
shows that customers that opt out before sixty days of service are able to opt in again before having to
wait the full time period. This is important because some residents might later understand the financial
and environmental benefits of participating in a CCA and wish to resume enrollment.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 83
Different Renewable Energy Options in the Program
MCE customers have the option to choose between 50% and 100% renewables options, while SCP
customers can choose between the 33% and the 100% renewables program. Offering an option with a
lower portfolio of renewable resources allows the CCA to remain price competitive with the utility,
however it decreases the amount of carbon mitigated by the CCA’s service (Refer to Table 5.2 and 5.3 for
price comparison). In the case of MCE, enrollment in the Light-Green option is much more significant
compared to the Deep Green option, comprising 74.4% versus 1.44% of all ratepayers respectively.226 This
means that most of MCE subscribers are demanding an energy load comprised of only half renewable
energy, while the rest is supplied by non-renewable sources with significant emissions factors.
Unfortunately, if the City of Hermosa Beach were to offer similar options, a high subscription rate to the
less expensive plan is expected, resulting in a smaller reduction of carbon emissions. However, the
amount of carbon emissions produced by CCA procurement is still less than created by SCE’s general
energy mix because overall there is a higher content of renewable resources being provided.
Nevertheless, the impact of CCA formation is still decreased because less carbon is mitigated through
enrollment of a partial renewables plan as opposed to a completely renewable energy load.

Additional Requirements for Community Choice Aggregation Programs
If a CCA customer is involuntarily returned to the service of an IOU then all re-entry fees are the
obligation of the CCA. One of the requirements for starting a CCA is that it must demonstrate sufficient
insurance to cover these fees. The CPUC is responsible for determining the methodology by which re-
entry fees will be calculated. The CCA must also be able to demonstrate that it has sufficient electrical
226 (Marine Clean Energy, 2013)
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 84
generating capacity to meet the projected peak demand plus a 15% reserve.
Cost Responsibility Surcharge
In order for the IOU to service its existing customers without increasing rates, the IOU will charge a CRS
to customers who join a CCA. The CRS will vary every year making it inversely related to the market
price of electricity. For example, if the market price of electricity falls, the CRS will increase and vice
versa. In order for a CCA to offer prices that are competitive with the IOU, the CCA would have to
procure power below market prices. The initial CRS will be set at 2.0 cents per kWh which is “subject to
true up to 18 months or sooner if the utilities forecast is 30% higher or lower than the amount.”227
Thereafter, the CRS will forecast and be trued on annual basis after 18 months by the CPUC. The CRS is
determined by the CPUC and it consists of:
● Department of Water Resources Bond Charge:
○ Used to recover the interest and principal of DWR bonds
● Competition Transition Charge
○ Recovers the above market costs of utility generation
● Power Charge Indifference Adjustment
○ It is either a charge or credit designed to maintain bundled customer indifference
associated with other customers departing bundled utility service.
Laws Relating to Community Choice Aggregation
2010 Proposition 16
In June 2010, Proposition 16 was placed on the ballot in the California state election. If put into effect
Proposition 16 would have changed the law by requiring a two-thirds majority of local voters, instead of
city council vote, to vote in favor of changing the community energy provider. In effect this regulation
would have restricted the development of CCAs by requiring this two-thirds majority vote in a
municipality to approve any new CCA.

52.8% of voters opposed Proposition 16 and consequently the bill was not passed. This vote is indicative
of the support that people in California have for CCAs. In many of the counties that currently have CCA
programs, like Marin and Sonoma Counties, voters overwhelmingly opposed the proposition. A
noteworthy aspect of the election was that PG&E was one of the heaviest supporters of the proposition,
though in most of its service areas people voted no on the proposition (e.g. Sonoma and Marin
Counties).229

Proposition 23
Proposition 23 was a ballot measure defeated in California in 2010 proposing to suspend AB 32, also
referred to as the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, and potentially delay the reduction of GHGs
indefinitely. By analyzing the results of this ballot measure in cities surrounding the City of Hermosa
Beach, it can be determined which municipalities might be interested in decarbonizing its electricity as
well. All of the municipalities examined in the South Bay, with the exception of Rolling Hills, opposed
Proposition 23 by a majority vote. Due to the significant opposition to Proposition 23, it shows there is a
large support for environmental regulations in the areas surrounding the City of Hermosa Beach.

However, if joining a CCA would result in higher utility cost for residents, it is possible that citizens of
lower income municipalities might be hesitant to join.
Figure 5.6. This graph shows the percentage of voters who opposed Proposition 23 in cities
surrounding the City of Hermosa Beach. Municipalities with higher rates of opposition can be assumed
to be more supportive of environmental issues and in favor of reducing carbon emissions.
Assembly Bill 2145
AB 2145 known as “Electricity: community choice aggregation” is an act to amend Section 366.2 of the
Public Utilities Code that was added by AB 117. In its current state AB 2145 would fundamentally change
laws regarding CCA programs, requiring a customer to opt in to a CCA instead of opting out.231 This
would require each customer to send notice to the CCA of their intent to opt in and could drastically
decrease program participation in a CCA. The possibility of a CCA losing customers by the opt-in
methodology greatly threatens the CCA’s ability to negotiate for competitive rates. If a CCA cannot
secure the competitive rates, customers will choose not to enroll in a CCA and this positive feedback
system will potentially dissolve a CCA due to the high costs and small customer pool.
Currently AB 2145 is going through the California State Legislature's committees and is subject to change.
In order to pass, the bill must receive a majority in the California Assembly and Senate and be signed into
law by the Governor. On May 28, 2014 AB 2145 passed the assembly though is subject to change in the
Senate. Table 5.19 is a list of registered supporters and opposition to the bill.

Conclusion
CCAs can provide an opportunity for cities, especially the City of Hermosa Beach, to procure carbon
neutral electricity. Programs can be designed to meet the needs and desires of specific communities. For
the City of Hermosa Beach, this would mean increasing renewable energy resources up to 100%. As
CCAs are relatively new to California, it is important to learn from programs that are already in
existence. MCE and SCP provide valuable examples in the successful formation and operation of CCA
programs. It is advisable that the City of Hermosa Beach join a JPA to alleviate associated risks. Also, as
the process of creating a CCA becomes more practiced, the amount of time required to establish a fully
functional program is reduced. This means that instituting a CCA for the City of Hermosa Beach should
be relatively easy.

Chapter 6: Recommendations
This section presents the following recommendations: implement energy efficiency programs, establish a
CCA via a JPA, and improving the electricity grid system. A discussion about the GTSR will also be
presented.
Energy Efficiency
Renewable energy resources alone are not enough to supply all electricity if energy use continues
following current trends. Energy efficiency and renewable energies must grow together in order to make
a significant difference in the carbon emissions associated with electricity generation. If more renewable
energy is implemented without increasing efficiency, energy use will still continue to grow. This means
that renewable energy use will only prevent a growth in carbon emissions as opposed to enabling energy
companies to retire or curtail operations at generation facilities that produce electricity by burning fossil
fuels.233 Additionally, unlike the implementation of renewable energy sources, efficiency improvements
usually result in a negative cost to the consumer because initial investments are paid off over time from
the reduced electricity costs. Ultimately, decreasing current carbon emissions requires a combination of
both renewable electricity generation and energy efficiency efforts.
Electricity efficiency improvements can also become more viable through Property Assessed Clean
Energy (PACE) financing programs. PACE provides financing for energy efficiency upgrades and
renewable energy installation through property tax assessments. This is usually more manageable than
fronting the entire cost. These costs also remain a part of the property taxes if the property is sold, so
home and business owners do not have to worry about losing their investment if they move. However,
PACE programs have faced a history of opposition from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA),
specifically the mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is because the liens associated with
residential PACE financing take precedence over existing mortgages and in the event that the
homeowner defaults, the outstanding PACE assessment is paid off first.234 For this reason, the FHFA
deemed the residential PACE financing programs as a risk to lenders. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
issued letters to lenders stating that they would not purchase mortgages with outstanding PACE loans,
thus a property with a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan could not transfer the PACE assessment to a new
owner.235 These issues still exist, but some programs have continued to operate or create residential PACE
programs using individual approaches to the FHFA conflict.236
LA PACE is an example of a PACE program available only to commercial buildings, such as offices,
hotels, apartment buildings, etc. The City of Hermosa Beach is already eligible for the LA PACE program,
so the next step would be encouraging local businesses to invest in these efficiency upgrades. The HERO
program is an example of a newly created residential PACE program in California, which jointly finances
energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy. This program operates around the FHFA rules by
“using affirmative acknowledgements from the first lien holders, conservative underwriting
233 (Prindle, Eldridge, Eckhardt, & Frederick, 2007)
234 (Kaatz & Anders, 2013)

requirements, and/or signed disclosures regarding FHF concerns and risks.”237 The HERO program has
been operating successfully in Riverside County since 2011. In June 2013, Orange County entered into a
memorandum of understanding with the Western Riverside Council of Governments to facilitate the
introduction of the HERO program there as well.238
HERO is also poised to become available in Los Angeles County in 2014. Initially, the renovations
covered will include insulation, water and electricity efficiency improvements, windows and entry doors,
heating, ventilation, air conditioning, HVAC and whole house fans, and photovoltaic solar panels.239 As a
part of Los Angeles County, the City of Hermosa Beach will be eligible to take advantage of the HERO
program when it is implemented, which is expected soon. Also, as the program proves to be successful
and economically profitable, as it has in Riverside County, it is possible that more energy efficiency
improvements and renewable energy sources, such as thermal solar water heating systems, will become
available for residents. These programs allow residents to lower their electricity use without being
intimidated by a hefty price tag. Through these easily implemented changes, there is potential for great
energy saving and even the possibility of a carbon neutral city.
Green Tariff Shared Renewables Program
As it stands, the Green Rate program with SCE could provide an avenue for the City of Hermosa Beach to
reach carbon neutral electricity generation. However, due to the price, structure, and the legislation’s
sunset date this is not the best option for the city.
Price is a primary concern voiced by groups tracking the progression of each utilities’ proposals including
the Green Rate. The City of San Francisco cites concern over the generalized nature of the cost structure
proposed by PG&E and the IREC demands a new rate design on the basis that participants will burden a
large cost for benefits ultimately shared with all ratepayers.240 241 These critiques, coupled with the fact
that an amendment to the Green Rate was already filed by SCE, increases fees, clearly displays the high
probability of rate fluctuation.242 These rate fluctuations put the customers of the City of Hermosa Beach
at the mercy of the utility. Furthermore the price proposed by SCE is higher than the other utilities, as
seen in Table 6.1. Clearly this premium is significantly larger than other IOU GTSR programs. The
relatively large cost premium may dissuade the City of Hermosa Beach from joining the program,
especially as prices will fluctuate in the future, minimizing enrollment and thus the amount of energy
demanded from renewable sources.243 For this reason, it is recommended that city seeks an alternative
solution.

Though the customer receives service of 100% renewable energy directly from the utility on the Green
Rate, they pay a significant premium each month. As shown in other sections of this report, there are
ratepayers under CCA jurisdictions paying a much smaller premium, for the same service of renewable
energy. Thus, it is recommended that the residents of City of Hermosa Beach pursue the formation of
CCA to ensure a lower rate for renewable energy.
Programs for renewable energy will be monitored by the CPUC, however they are ultimately run by the
utility. SB 43 stipulates that each supervising utility procure renewable energy from local sources.246
However the proximity from the source of generation to the customer is not defined by the legislation,
therefore leaving it up to the utilities’ discretion. Surely this is an effort by legislators to make GTSR
programs both economically and technically feasible for each utility, but it also concerns stakeholders.
This could be an avenue for IOU’s to seek distant renewable sources rather than investing in local
generation. According to SCE’s proposal, the utility plans to use its current renewable energy resources
that are in excess to RPS goals to fill Green Rate subscriptions.247 IREC points out that this does not serve
the mission of SB 43 because it does not create new resources for generation, unlike SDG&E’s and PG&E’s
procurement plan.248 This is just a singular example of how SCE’s control of the program could lessen the
benefit of Green Rate subscriptions. In this situation, SCE also falls short of the other utilities again,
displaying their resistance to these legislative changes. Their behavior should be accounted for as
ratepayers within the limits of the City of Hermosa Beach will be subject to SCE’s business preferences.
Considering the City of Hermosa Beach is opting to institute renewable energy as part of a larger
sustainable mission, their choices could affect greater impact if made autonomously.
Lastly, SB 43 provides support for GTSR programs until January 1, 2019.249 Without continued support
from the legislation it is unclear what will happen to established GTSR programs. The overall goal is to
expand the supply of renewable resources for the future, however SB 43 runs out just before RPS goals in
2020.250 Any number of possibilities arises from after this deadline. For example, utilities could cease to
offer their respective GTSR programs and reallocate these renewable resources to reach their RPS goal the
next year. The fate of GTSR programs, including the Green Rate is unclear after SB 43’s deadline. An
option with greater longevity would better serve the City of Hermosa Beach.
Community Choice Aggregation via a Joint Powers Authority
The analysis of CCAs shows that pursuing this option is the most feasible method of delivering zero
emission energy to the City of Hermosa Beach at a cost competitive with existing electricity rates.
Furthermore, the possibility of forming a JPA with other cities to minimize costs and risks borne by the
City of Hermosa Beach makes the option more economically viable.

A CCA grants a local authority decision-making powers over energy procurement. Under the existing
utility model, SCE makes such procurement decisions. But under a CCA, control is given to the city, or
cities in a JPA situation. Thus, the City of Hermosa Beach does not have to be under the scrutiny of SCE
and can be more proactive in their decision making, potentially electing to only utilize carbon neutral
electricity. For example, customers under SCE’s current tiered rate system are subject to the fuel mix and
costs that the utility offers. This is controlled by state legislation, the RPS, and CPUC regulation.
However, a CCA can form contracts with IPPs that specify the sources of energy that should be utilized
and the price the CCA is willing to pay. Thus the City of Hermosa Beach has more autonomy through
formation of a CCA.
Moreover, the Marin and Sonoma County CCAs have shown that delivering clean energy can be
competitively priced compared to the conventional utility rate. In order to reduce the price premium of
zero-GHG electricity, the City of Hermosa Beach should follow Marin and Sonoma’s footsteps and
establish a JPA. The formation of a JPA with the City of Hermosa Beach and other cities interested in
pursuing zero-GHG electricity would increase the CCA’s aggregate electricity demand. This will in turn
give the CCA increased bargaining power and induce negotiations with a larger selection of potential
IPPs to conjure power at competitive rates. Furthermore, the initial costs for the start up of a CCA will be
divided among the cities involved; thus fixed costs such as staffing, promotion, and service fees will be
partitioned accordingly. The formation of a CCA via a JPA may be the most cost-effective method of
delivering carbon neutral energy to the City of Hermosa Beach because the fixed costs will be divided
among the cities involved and the generation costs, which are variable, will be negotiated with increased
bargaining power.
Potential disadvantages in forming a CCA include excessive surcharges, customers opting out of the
program, and the potential for the relatively small City of Hermosa Beach to have their priorities diluted
in a larger JPA. Existing JPAs are structured to give more votes and board members to the cities that have
the largest energy demand. Thus if the City of Hermosa Beach is on the smaller scale of electricity
consumption, their influence over decisions within the JPA will be reduced.
Moreover, customers are legally allowed to opt-out of the CCA. If the CCA’s rates are high compared to
SCE’s rates, they may choose to do so. In this case, the City of Hermosa Beach’s goal of having 100%
carbon neutral electricity will be difficult. Thus, the City of Hermosa Beach should follow the examples of
Marin and Sonoma, offering two rate options: a cost-competitive “light green” option in addition to a
100% renewable option. The City of Hermosa Beach, or the JPA it joins, can increase the percentage of
renewables in the cost-competitive option over time, as Marin has done. In this way, the CCA can move
customers toward a higher concentration of renewable energy.
Despite these drawbacks of a CCA, we still recommend that the City of Hermosa Beach create a JPA. To
mitigate the risk that competing priorities in a JPA would jeopardize the city’s long-term goal of carbon
neutral electricity, the JPA and CCA charter could include certain provisions. For example, a provision
requiring a 100% renewable option and that the JPA continually increase the percentage of renewables in
the cost-competitive rate option, would ensure the City of Hermosa’s priorities are continually advanced.
BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 95
The current regulation guiding CCA formation is far more attractive to establishing a viable electricity
decarbonization pathway than the procedures for individual customers to join the GTSR program. The
CCA option allows customers to opt-out of a CCA, while SCE’s Green Rate will require customers to opt-
in. The percentage of customers who explicitly opt-out is far less than those expected to opt-in to the
Green Rate. MCE currently has an opt-out rate of 23.6%.251 Thus 76.4% of the residents will be served by
the CCA and will be provided with renewable energy, which is much greater participation in comparison
with enrollment rates of opt in programs. Despite not having full participation, this formality of a CCA
induces more participation than SCE’s Green Rate, an opt-in program which is projected to have an
enrollment rate of 0.5%.252 This lack of participation stems from the fact that asking customers to actively
reach out, making a choice different from the status quo, creates a barrier to enrollment in the program.
This comes from the unwillingness of the customer to take the time and effort to switch from the default
service. The Green Rate’s projected participation rate of 0.5% will not allow the City of Hermosa Beach to
make meaningful progress toward its goal of 100% carbon neutral electricity.

Figure 6.2. Southern California Edison’s Projected Enrollment Rate for the Green Rate Program254
A bill currently before the California State Legislature, AB 2145, would significantly change the
regulation governing CCA program establishment. If passed and signed in its current form, AB 2145
would require all future CCAs to become opt-in programs. This would decrease CCA program
participation rates, perhaps to levels similar to that projected for the GTSR program. CCAs would
aggregate less electricity demand because they would have less bargaining power when negotiating
contracts. This would all-but-eliminate the ability of CCAs to provide cost-competitive rates with higher
renewable content as compared to the utility. The City of Hermosa Beach should consider formally
opposing AB 2145 in order to preserve their options to decarbonize the city’s electricity in pursuit of
aggressive GHG emissions reductions. AB 2145 passed the Assembly in late May. It still must be
approved by the Senate and signed into law by the governor in order to take effect. The bill will apply to
any customer not enrolled in a CPUC-approved CCA by January 1, 2015. Given the time needed to
establish a CCA and roll-out to customers, it will be extremely difficult for Hermosa Beach to establish or
join a CCA so that customers can default into an opt in program.
The City of Hermosa Beach can further investigate the feasibility of a CCA by analyzing the City of
Lancaster’s progress toward creation of a CCA. The City of Lancaster is similarly in SCE’s service
territory. Thus the City of Hermosa Beach can monitor the proceedings in Lancaster. Lancaster’s
experience as the first CCA in SCE territory will reduce some costs and risks to Hermosa Beach, should
Hermosa Beach decide to create a separate CCA in Lancaster’s footsteps.
Perhaps a more attractive option for the City of Hermosa Beach is to join Lancaster as CCA pioneers in
SCE territory. Lancaster, as of 2011, created a JPA titled the Lancaster Power Authority (LPA). Through
the LPA, Lancaster seeks to establish a CCA. Currently, Lancaster has sent a Statement of Intent to the
CPUC and is awaiting correspondence. Approval from the CPUC would allow Lancaster to move

forward and begin enrolling customers as soon as May 2015. All this would be beneficial to the City of
Hermosa Beach because the City of Lancaster could serve as an example or partner in renewable energy
procurement. Lancaster is located in the Mojave Desert, near the Tehachapi Pass - two of the best areas
for renewable generation in the state. This abundance of opportunity to build renewable energy
infrastructure could work to power the energy needs of the larger Southern California area.
However, Hermosa Beach may sacrifice some local control by joining a non-adjacent CCA, such as
Lancaster. A multi-city CCA is governed by a JPA that must have public meetings. If these meetings are
geographically remote to Hermosa Beach, public participation in the oversight process may be hindered.
Furthermore, contiguous cities are more likely to have similar interests, problems, and future goals,
whereas cities that are farther away may have different goals. Thus a non-contiguous CCA, such as the
City of Lancaster’s, may not be as beneficial to the City of Hermosa Beach as a contiguous CCA in the
South Bay.
Possible Candidates for a Local JPA
If the City of Hermosa Beach created a JPA, the most likely candidates to join would be other cities in the
South Bay area of Los Angeles County. Depicted in the map and charts below are possible candidates to
include in a JPA.
The chart contains important information for considering the formation of a JPA. It includes information
on the commercial and residential energy demand, the total demand, and the monthly usage of electricity
per household is included. The viability of each city’s participation in a CCA is also assessed on the table
with the percentage of citizens in each city who voted against California’s Proposition 16 and 23 from
2010.
Proposition 16 would have imposed a “new two-thirds voter approval requirement for local public
electricity providers.”255 If it would have passed, Proposition 16 would have made it very difficult to start
a CCA in California. In effect the percentage of votes against Proposition 16 hints at the chances of
starting a public utility or CCA program in a city.
Proposition 23 would have suspended Air Pollution Control Law AB 32 which required major sources of
emissions to report and reduce GHG emissions that cause global warming. By the percentage that a city
voted against this proposition we can infer a city’s commitment to climate change mitigation policy and
thus their propensity for joining a CCA in the future.

Within the South Bay, five cities stand out as the most likely to join a CCA. These cities include citizens
who voted against Proposition 16 and 23 by a wider margin and combined would have a large enough
electric load to create an effective CCA. Below is a projection of how the estimated $1.7 million in start-up
costs could be spread among the communities in accordance to their electricity consumption and how
much the City of Hermosa Beach would have to pay in this scenario.

A JPA for a CCA does not need to be contiguous and cities who are not connected to the City of Hermosa
Beach geographically can be a part of a CCA. In addition to the CCA options in the South Bay, there are
other cities that Hermosa Beach could look to in forming a JPA. Though creating a non-contiguous CCA
may not be as beneficial, the possibility of their inclusion should not be dismissed. The cities below have
either been proven to be environmentally progressive or have populations over 100,000 making them
candidates in the forming of a CCA in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Ultimately, the process to achieve carbon neutrality will take time and should not be rushed. In order to
establish an effective CCA, the City of Hermosa Beach should invest adequate time and money to form a
strong JPA and for a private company to produce a feasibility report. The creation of a CCA will take
place over a period of years, but, as shown in Chapter 5, it will likely not take as long as previous
programs in Marin and Sonoma. With the formation of each subsequent CCA in California, the amount of
time required for establishment has reduced. This is shown in Table 6.4 below.

A Pathway to Future Grid Improvements
The current electricity grid system is not well suited for high levels of distributed generation penetration.
Various grid upgrades are required to allow the City of Hermosa Beach to efficiently and reliably utilize
the locally available renewable energy sources. Once adequate grid upgrades are made, such as
improving infrastructure to support bidirectional power and installing energy storage units, the city
could take greater advantage of its estimated 76.2 GWh solar potential.266
Currently SCE owns the transmissions infrastructure and facilities that operate in the City of Hermosa
Beach. It is unlikely that SCE will institute the necessary grid upgrades in the near future due to economic
restrictions. However the residents of the City of Hermosa Beach could vote to establish a municipal
utility district (MUD), allowing the city jurisdiction over providing electricity to the district residents.
Once a MUD is formed, it can negotiate the purchase of SCE’s existing grid infrastructure in the city and
make necessary upgrades to the system to allow for the integration of distributed generation sources.
The Municipal Utility District Act was passed by the California State Legislature in 1921, within the
California Public Utilities Code. It authorized the formation and governance of a MUD. A MUD is a
special-purpose district that provides public utilities to district residents. Local residents can vote to
establish a MUD, after which they will be represented by a board of directors.
Sacramento County and Lassen County have each created MUDs. In 1923, citizens of Sacramento voted to
create Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) as a community-owned electric service provider.

BruiNeutral | Assessing Options to Deliver Carbon Neutral Electricity to Hermosa Beach | June 2014 103
However, the years following the creation of SMUD were filled with engineering studies, political battles,
elections and court filings.267 In March 1946, the California Supreme Court denied PG&E’s final petition to
halt the annexation and PG&E finally sold its distribution system at a price fixed by the Railroad
Commission.268 SMUD is a public agency of the State of California, and therefore is not subject to the
FERC’s jurisdiction under the Federal Power Act.269 In the 1980s, residents of Folsom voted to join SMUD.
Despite efforts from PG&E to halt Folsom from joining, Folsom residents are now served by SMUD. In
2006, PG&E successfully convinced SMUD and Yolo County ratepayers to vote down a proposal that
would have expanded SMUD’s service territory to include the cities of West Sacramento, Davis,
Woodland and all the areas in between.
SMUD serves 604,053 meters over a service territory of 900 square miles.270 Figure 6.3 is a map of SMUD’s
service territory. SMUD has 2,007 employees and owns 10,257 miles of power lines.271 It is the sixth
largest customer-owned electric utility in the nation.272 Figure 6.4 is SMUD’s 2013 projected power
content label.

Lassen Municipal Utility District (LMUD) was voted into existence in 1986.275 In 1988, LMUD acquired
electrical facilities from CP National Corporation and began serving residents of Lassen County.276 LMUD
serves 10,500 meters over a service territory of 900 square miles.277 LMUD has 38 employees and owns
over 500 miles of power lines.278
If the City of Hermosa Beach pursues the establishment of a MUD, opposition from SCE can be expected,
just like what SMUD encountered from PG&E. In addition, difficulties in purchasing SCE’s infrastructure
include determining a price that is acceptable for both parties and how the grid system is to be divided
for sale since it cannot be done according to city boundaries. After a MUD has been successfully
established, the City of Hermosa Beach will also need a team of skilled employees to operate, maintain
and upgrade the local grid system. The entire process of establishing a MUD and purchasing SCE’s
infrastructure can take years, as seen from the examples of SMUD and LMUD. These issues mentioned
are significant challenges, but they are also necessary steps for the City of Hermosa Beach to take
advantage of the city’s ample rooftop solar potential in pursuit of its noble long-term carbon neutrality
goals.

Case Studies
Lancaster Community Choice Aggregation
Lancaster is a city sixty miles north of Los Angeles and is known for its sunny days and open desert
landscape. It is home to many photovoltaic projects and has quickly become recognized for the bounty of
its renewable resources like wind and sunshine. As the city progresses towards its municipal goal of net
zero status it seeks to do so primarily through forming a CCA. Lancaster is very unique in that it is the
first city to begin forming a CCA in SCE territory. This case study will attempt to track its progress in
hope of better understanding the necessary steps to establishing a CCA.
Ms. Heather Swan, the senior project coordinator for the Lancaster Power Authority (LPA) was able to
share information with the UCLA student group by commenting on the status of the LCCA. She began by
explaining that the JPA that Lancaster formed, the LPA, did not originally form for the purpose of
aggregating powers from outside the community. Rather, she explained that JPAs are typically formed so
as to protect general operating funds. The LPA was formed so that the City of Lancaster, Lancaster
Redevelopment Agency, and the Lancaster Housing Authority could financially support one another.279
The original intention of the LPA was not to aggregate other cities outside of Lancaster, but this is one
possible application for the future.

There are two joint power agreements that Lancaster is involved in. The first authorizes the High Desert
Power Authority (HDPA) and the second establishes the previously mentioned LPA. Heather Swan shed
some light on the difference between the two joint power agreements. Ms. Swan noted that the HDPA is
made with Pittsburg, CA, while the LPA is currently only citywide. Pittsburg is located in the San
Francisco Bay Area, forty miles northeast of the City of San Francisco. The sole reason that Lancaster is
involved with Pittsburg is not for CCA purposes, but rather it is so that Lancaster may gain technical
expertise.282 In 2007 the CAISO approved an energy transmission project proposed by the city of
Pittsburg. The transmission project was to build a submersible 400 MW transmission line that would
begin at the power generation facility in Pittsburg, run through the San Francisco Bay, and deliver power
to the City of San Francisco.283 The City of Lancaster is particularly interested in this technical expertise
because it is in the project phase of proposing a transmission line that would run east to west in north
eastern Lancaster. The proposed transmission line would provide relief to the grid from electricity
congestion.284
In unison with CCA efforts Lancaster is trying to acquire ownership of its 17,856 street lights from SCE. If
successful, Lancaster would be able to save an estimated 1.5 million dollars on operating costs. The
application will soon be sent to the CPUC.285 Any transfer of assets must be approved by the governing
body that oversees any of the IOUs, which is the CPUC. According to Ms. Swan, the CPUC has not yet
commented on this proposal and thus the acquisition is still awaiting approval. In the Antelope Valley
Press, a Lancaster local newspaper, the author wrote that Lancaster officials desire to buy the lights from
SCE because they believe that they can more cheaply supply energy to their street light system.286 As
mentioned this purchase will decrease the amount paid to Edision by an expected 1.5 million dollars
annually. The price tag for buying the streets lights is 12 million dollars. Lancaster expects the CPUC to
respond within 9 to 12 months.287 Notably, Lancaster will be the first city serviced by SCE to purchase
their street lights from the IOU.288 Hermosa Beach officials should take note of this attempted acquisition
because if approved it could be one way for Hermosa Beach to decrease its expenditures in energy
distribution.
Once the CCA is formed, the City of Lancaster plans to enroll customers in 3 phases. Information is
presented in the table below. Once the program starts, each phase will be supplied with 35% of its load
coming from renewable sources. As found on the CPUC website California’s RPS was established in 2002
under Senate Bill 1078, accelerated in 2006 under Senate Bill 107 and expanded in 2011 under Senate Bill
2. The RPS program requires IOUs, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators to
increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33% of total procurement by 2020.289
The Lancaster CCA will exceed this requirement at its inception in 2015 with a 35% renewables portfolio.

In February 2014, AB-2145 Electricity: community choice aggregation was introduced into the legislature.
This bill specifically addresses CCAs in California. This bill states that after January 1st 2015 any CCA that
is formed must no longer be an opt out program at its inception, but rather an opt in program.290 This
could potentially make CCA registration much more tedious and detract potential members. When a new
CCA forms all residents in the CCA’s territory would remain in contract with their IOU. This could pose
a threat to the working capital that a CCA is dependent on for financing and operations. Ms. Swan, the
LPA project manager, was asked if there is any rush to enroll members into the LCCA before the January
1st 2015 deadline. As of now the LCCA proposal of enrollment does not begin until May 2015 with
Lancaster’s municipal accounts. Ms. Swan stated that the May 2015 enrollment date cannot feasibly be
started earlier and thus Lancaster cannot rush to form their CCA before the January 1st 2015 deadline.
Rather she noted that Lancaster city officials are trying to work with California legislative officials to
rework AB 2145.
The goal of this case study is to evaluate the necessary action required to best form a CCA. This case
study is particularly important because also like the City of Hermosa Beach, the City of Lancaster also
falls under the service of SCE. Ms. Swan mentioned that as of to date, SCE has posed no barriers for
Lancaster’s energy independence. However the barriers that have been cumbersome for Lancaster mainly
include financing. In the LCCA Implementation Plan some of the start up costs listed include hiring staff,
acquiring power producer contracts, and general consulting costs. Another labor filled and time intensive
undertaking is the feasibility report. Ms. Swan mentioned that as a city tries to find out how to pay for
any energy independence programs it must also figure out if a CCA is the best option for its community.
This is done using the feasibility report.
When looking closely at table 9, as found on page 38 of the LCCA Implementation Plan, one may believe
that under the LCCA residents would be paying more per kWh than. SCE charges $0.085 while the LCCA
is projected to charge $0.10.291 Ms. Swan mentioned that $0.085 is only the baseload price for SCE. After
SCE customers exceed the allotted baseload energy provided they are required to begin paying higher
rates. This is part of SCE’s 4 tier pricing approach. In reality most SCE customers will pay more than
$0.085 for kWh because they progress into the third and fourth tier.292 Ms. Swan said that typically SCE
residents pay about $0.132 per kWh. And importantly, this means that the LCCA does project to offer a
cheaper option for residential electricity than SCE.

Marin Clean Energy (MCE)
Marin County is connected to San Francisco County by the Golden Gate Bridge. It is 828 square miles,
which is 600 square miles larger than San Francisco County.294 MCE is the CCA formed by Marin County.
It was created in 2008, as the first CCA program in California, and began serving customers in 2010. MCE
is technically able to service those parties through which it has partnership by the JPA, Marin Energy
Authority. The thirteen parties that have been a part of the JPA since its birth include five towns, seven
cities, and the County of Marin. Notably all parties are in close proximity to one another. Up until July
2013, only Marin County residents and businesses were serviced by MCE. Since July of 2013 the City of
Richmond has begun receiving service by MCE through MCE’s Light Green option, which ensures that
50% of energy procurement is from renewable sources.295

The reason the CCA formed was because Marin County did not have other opportunities instead of a
CCA. Marin was proactive in combating climate change and took practical steps in doing so. One of those
steps for example was replacing the municipal fleet of cars with a cleaner fleet. Deciding to form a CCA
was not in opposition to another choice, rather deciding to form a CCA was the natural progression of
tactics in decreasing the amount of carbon emissions brought about by Marin County.298
MCE provides two renewable energy plans for its customers. The first is the Light Green option which
incorporates 50% of the energy procured from renewable sources and the Deep Green option which
incorporates 100%. Although residents of Marin County and Richmond tend to be more concerned about
environmental practices, price is still the chief factor in decision making. Costs for MCE and PG&E
service are very close. Through inference, residents likely decided to remain enrolled in the CCA for
reasons like: environmental concerns, wanting to take hold of energy independence, or simply doing it
because it was recommended by a friend.
Mr. Choi, explained that one of the most difficult barriers to forming a CCA were the pressures from
PG&E. The relationship that Marin has had with PG&E has been an evolving one. In some ways they are
competitors and in others they are collaborators.299 One way PG&E acted as a competitor was during the
MCE’s attempt to enroll customers. PG&E spent millions of dollars trying to convince customers in Marin
County that a CCA was not a good choice. For example PG&E sponsored the Coalition for Reliable and
Affordable Electricity which sent a series of mailers to residents in Marin that spoke negatively about
MCE.300 As of the 2008 tax returns, the president of the Coalition was Dan Richards. He was also the
former senior vice president for public policy and government relations for PG&E.301 CCAs, also, do not
have private stakeholders who can contribute funds, so financing their formation is a another large
barrier.

A majority of the renewable energy that MCE produces comes from wind. For example the Deep Green
option is comprised of 100% wind energy.303 The way it works is that electricity that is produced via wind
turbines is not funneled directly to MCE customers. The turbines contracted by MCE simply produce the
energy and uploaded it onto the grid whenever the wind blows. In order for MCE to ensure that they can
provide enough energy from renewable sources they have to make sure to consume as much as or less
electricity than they produce. Companies in California are building infrastructure to harness renewable
energy.304 This is adding more renewable energy as a part of the base load power. California as a whole
will have to begin incorporating technologies and strategies to make this renewable energy more reliable.
This means that there has to be a growth in battery storage, intelligent communications i.e. smart grid,
and energy conservation.
The staff at MCE is employed by the JPA, Marin Energy Authority. The staff is dedicated to accomplish
the goals set out by the council members. Further, the council members are elected by the individual
parties that comprise the JPA. For example the City of Richmond would elect a member to the council as
representation for their city.
Table A.7. Sample Residential Cost Comparison305
Cost per kWh Price for 508 kWh Service Fee Total
MCE $0.08 $39.62 $5.89 $45.51
PG&E $0.09 $46.73 0 $46.73
MCE charges $0.078/kWh in the E-1/Res-1 category. For the same category PG&E charges $0.092/kWh.
Although Marin is able to charge less there is an $5.89 added service fee towards MCE customers to cover
the cost of using PG&E transmission lines. Given an energy bill of 508 kWh, the MCE customer would
pay $0.72 less for that pay cycle than a PG&E customer.306 The benefit is that 50% of the energy MCE
offers comes from renewable sources compared to 19% offered by PG&E. Given that prices are close to
the same, it is likely that the reason why customers opt out is not because the CCA’s service is more
expensive, but because they do not understand the function of a CCA. This highlights the importance of
CCA awareness campaigns and public meetings that discuss the CCA’s environmental benefit.
The primary way that MCE keeps costs down is by being a not-for-profit public agency with a fraction of
the staff and costs of PG&E. Also, the primary reason for the upcoming generation investments, and FIT
contracts is not to keep costs down, but rather to promote local renewable energy generation, and spur on

305 (MCE, 2014c)

the local green economy.307 The number one goal of MCE is to combat climate change by providing
energy generated from renewable sources. One of the current topics of discussion for MCE is to
potentially begin constructing its own renewable energy generation infrastructure.308 MCE has to contract
power generation with IPPs, but now MCE is looking toward owning its own generation facilities leading
to an even greater ability to provide reliable renewable energy.
Opt out procedures have also been another area where change has been occurring frequently. The
reasons why residents opt out is multi-faceted, however for whatever the reasons, they must wait for one
and half years before joining the CCA again. The waiting period was initially three years, but the CPUC
changed the ruling to benefit CCA programs. CCA programs would benefit most if residents could opt
back in at anytime. This would logically increase enrollment. Speaking with MCE account manager Ben
Choi, he further explained that if an opt out occurs after the initial sixty days of service, such as 4 months
into having service with MCE, then the re-enrollment waiting period would be in effect. If, however, the
customer opts out before enrollment in MCE, or within the first couple of months of service, the customer
would be eligible to enroll in MCE at any time.
In September of 2013, MCE received a letter from the County of Napa that expressed their interest in
joining the CCA because of this MCE completed an analysis to assess the effects of Napa joining the
program with Napa’s current customer size. In 2013 the County of Napa used 336,223 MWh of energy
while MCE used 1,297,694 MWh. Using these numbers, adding the County of Napa would increase
MCE’s demand by 25.9%. Through the analysis MCE discovered that adding Napa to the CCA would
create a 3% reduction in rates to customers.309

Sonoma Clean Power (SCP)
Sonoma County is the next northernmost county from Marin County. It is home to the second operational
CCA in California. SCP has followed in MCE’s footsteps by mimicking many of its decisions and
operational tactics. For example SCP’s Implementation Plan is almost identical to that of MCE. It is
apparent that both counties worked side by side to bring SCP online.
Sonoma Clean Energy provides two renewable energy plans for its customers. The first is the CleanStart
option which incorporates 33% of the energy procured from renewable sources and the EverGreen option
which incorporates 100%. Costs for Sonoma and PG&E service are very close though the difference
between PG&E’s service and EverGreen is a greater difference than that of MCE’s Deep Green Program.
This means MCE’s customers pay less for 100% renewable energy. Currently they pay $12.52 less per
month for 100% renewable energy when compared to SCP.310 SCP is working to bring customers to a
100% renewable energy rate while remaining competitive with PG&E in prices. They plan to increase
their CleanStart option to 50% renewable energy by 2018.311
A majority of the renewable energy that SCP produces comes from geothermal. Additionally, the
renewable energy procured by SCP is locally generated increasing green jobs and stimulating the local
“green” economy. The CleanStart option incorporates 33% of energy generation from renewable sources
and 37% from hydro power.312 In comparison PG&E claims 22% from renewable sources and 11% from
hydro.313 All in all, SCP, like MCE is concerned primarily with increasing the amount of renewables that
penetrate the energy market. Price for this energy is also a concern, but less important.
The staff at SCP is employed by the JPA, Sonoma Clean Power Authority which was created specifically
for SCP on December 4, 2012.314
Below are SCP’s rates in comparison to PG&E’s for each level of service.

Sonoma County’s load in 2010 is depicted in the chart above. Not all of the cities in Sonoma County are
serviced by SCP. SCP has started phasing in municipal and commercial accounts. This is part of the
enrollment first phase and started in May 2014. The first phase enrolled municipal and some commercial
accounts because these two groups are less likely to opt out and their load can be better estimated.
Correctly estimating load allows the CCA to more easily procure energy. The planned phases of
enrollment for SCP customers are shown in the chart below.

A budget workshop was held on May 22, 2014. Presentations were given on: the Fiscal Health
Model from the Center for Performance Based Budgeting; the city’s pension and other post-
employment benefit (OPEB) obligations by independent actuary, John Bartel; and an overview of the budget. Councilmembers reviewed the budget and asked questions, leaving off on page 91 with the City Clerk’s department. A study session is being held tonight prior to the City Council meeting as
well as a public hearing (with no adoption of the budget) during the regular meeting as well. Another
public hearing will be held, with budget adoption planned, for June 24, 2014.
ANALYSIS:
Sewer System Report
It is recommended that the City Council hear the presentation by Jeff Cooper, PENCO Engineering Consistent with City Council adopted policies for study sessions, the study session on June 10th is intended to focus on overall policy direction and guidelines relating to the future of the sewer system.
Staff will provide options and make a recommendation on next steps for consideration by the City
Council at the June 24, 2014 public hearing.
Review of 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (begins on page 251 of the Budget)
Some members of the City Council expressed an interest in adding funds to the citywide Street
Improvement CIP and to the 8th Street Safe Route to School Project, which is currently unfunded. Citywide Street Improvements. The City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is currently 74.5. We are
on a track to reach a PCI of 77 in five years with funding levels as budgeted. As a comparison, the
Los Angeles client base of the Pavement Management Study consultant, Bucknam, has a PCI of 66.2; the Orange County client base has a PCI of 81.1. (see attached table on page 68.) Overall,

Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
SUBJECT: CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, SEWER STUDY
Dear Mr. Senteno:
Enclosed please find our summary report for the City of Hermosa Beach, Sewer Study. The
report covers primarily the following:
1) Agency Interviews
2) Sewer Fee Review of Adjacent Cities
3) Meeting with the County
4) Sewer Service Charge Study
The details of each of the above items are located in the same numerical order in the Appendix.
The highlights of the report are as follows:
1) The Single Family charge for 5 sample Cities and the County
Single Family Unit $/year
Manhattan Beach (2013) $341.25
El Segundo (2013) $ 97.59
Redondo Beach* (2013-2014) $159.00
Pico Rivera (Proposed 2014-2015) $ 50.50
West Hollywood (2013-2014) $ 38.67
County of Los Angeles (2013/2014) $ 47.50
2) The City can levy their own sewer charge by going through a Proposition 218 process or
annex to the County and they will levy a sewer charge.
3) The City can annex to the County’s maintenance district but up to $14 million in
improvements will have to be constructed by the City to get their sewers to County
standards.
4) The budgeted cost for the City to maintain their own sewers is $339,454 for Fiscal Year
2014-2015.
4
5) If the County levied their charge of $50.50/year for a single family home in Hermosa
Beach for Fiscal Year 2014-2015, it would generate approximately $520,000 in revenue
for the County.
6) If the City levied their own charge, at an approximate rate of $31.75/year/single family
home, it would generate $339,454 for the City of Hermosa Beach.
7) At the County rate of $50.50/year/single family home, the City could generate
approximately $545,000 in revenue for the City of Hermosa Beach.
We appreciate the assistance and cooperation the City of Hermosa Beach has shown us during
the course of our work. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
Sincerely,
PENCO Engineering, Inc.

City of Hermosa Beach
Summary Report
I. Introduction
Scope of Services:
Task 1 – Agency Interviews
Interviews (4-5) will be conducted with Cities that are currently utilizing the County for
maintenance of sewers through the Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District. Interviews will be
focused on their customer satisfaction – what has gone well, what hasn’t. It is planned that the
interview will be conducted face to face. Proposed agencies to be interviewed are:
Pico Rivera
Lawndale
Rancho Palos Verdes
West Hollywood*
Irwindale*
*Contract basis only
Task 2 – Sewer Fee Review
PENCO will determine what adjacent cities (4 to 5) to Hermosa Beach have sewer fees. The
amount of the fees, rate and method and durations will also be determined. The scope of what
the fee can be spent on will be determined also.
In addition, we will determine what kind of sewer fee for Hermosa Beach can be established and
what the process is for approval. What the state of California statutes allows on how the money
can be spent will also be determined.
Task 3 – County Meetings
Prepare for meetings with the County (up to two meetings) to discuss how the details of the
annexation process would work. This also includes assisting with negotiating better terms and
conditions between the City and the County. This includes also the pros and cons analysis of the
City keeping the sewer versus annexation to the County, including using a consultant instead of
the County for plan preparation, construction services, etc., the merits of maintaining sewers by
the City versus the County, and the cost of improving the sewer to the City standards versus
County standards.
Task 4 – Summary Report
A summary report will be prepared summarizing the results of Tasks 1-3. PENCO will attend up
to two City Council meetings to go over the summary report.
6
II. Task 1 Results – Agency Interviews
Five cities were interviewed: Pico Rivera, Lawndale, Rancho Palos Verdes, West Hollywood, and
Irwindale. Each interview was documented with a memo, summarizing the meeting. Each memo
is attached in Appendix 1.
Generally speaking all five cities are satisfied with the County staff – Service and equipment.
Typically, sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) response times are in the 1 - 2 hour time frame. The
City of Hermosa Beach SSO response times are currently 15 minutes.
There were mixed results regarding the financial aspects of being with the County.
Two cities, Lawndale and Rancho Palos Verdes, were just fine with the County levying the sewer
charge and collecting the fee. These two cities never see the fees collected or the actual cost of
the County services.
The City of Pico Rivera has decided to leave the CSMD for financial reasons. Their analysis shows
that they can net a savings of $400,000 per year by doing everything themselves. Next year in
early spring they will be re-establishing a sewer fee levied and collected by the City. All sewer
operation and maintenance will be done by that City themselves.
The City of West Hollywood when they incorporated decided not to join the CSMD but to
contract with the County for the same services. The City established their own sewer fee and
went through a Prop 218 establishment process. The City likes that they have their own fee and
have completed control of the financial aspects of the sewer fund. The City’s main complaint is
that they have had a lot of problems with the County’s billings not being accurate and it is a
hassle to get them fixed. They often get charged for time spent on other Cities.
The City of Irwindale contract with the County and is not in CSMD. They do not levy their own
fee. The County invoices the City for their services every month and the City pays the bill. The
City said the County is often slow in billing the City and this is often inconvenient as it causes
problems in their financial cycles. They often have to call the County and ask them to bill them.
The final comment I received from at least two cities was about getting reports on the sewers
required by other agencies. One City commented that they can’t get a report regarding just their
City and the other commented that the County is just not set up to generate reports for
individual cities.
Task 2 Results – Sewer Fee Review
Five Cities and the County were reviewed regarding their sewer fees: Manhattan Beach, El
Segundo, Redondo Beach, Pico Rivera, and West Hollywood and the County of Los Angeles. The
basic sewer fee per residential unit per year is as follows:
7
Single Family:
Single Family Unit $/year
Manhattan Beach (2013) $341.25
El Segundo (2013) $ 97.59
Redondo Beach* (2013-2014) $159.00
Pico Rivera (Proposed 2014-2015) $ 50.50
West Hollywood (2013-2014) $ 38.67
County of Los Angeles (2013/2014) $ 47.50
*Original $60.00/year in 2003
In each case, the basic unit is based upon the single family unit and all other fees are in
proportion to the single family unit. The rate structures for the above listed agencies are
attached in Appendix 2.
Authority
The California Health and Safety Code Section 5471 and California Government Code Section
54344 allows charges and collecting fees and charges providing service to users in a City to
operate and maintain wastewater systems. The fees collected can be used for operation and
maintenance sewer rehabilitation projects and meeting bond rate covenant requirements for
water collection improvements.
Establishment
An establishment of a sewer fee or charge per the authority above shall follow the requirements
of Proposition 218. The basic steps are as follows:
1) City Council orders a sewer fee rate report. The fee will be calculated and is based
upon a characteristic of the property, such as the size of the parcel or the use to
which the property is put to use. The fee to each parcel should be calculated either
individually or by reference to a formula or schedule.
2) The City Council accepts the sewer fee rate report and sets a public hearing on the
proposed fee.
3) The City shall provide a written notice by mail of the proposed fee or charge to the
record owner of each identified parcels. The date of the hearing must be at least 45
days after the mailing.
4) Concluding the hearing, the City must consider all protests against the proposed fee
or charge but only written protests are counted. If written protests against the
proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the identified
parcels, the city shall not impose the fee or charge.
8
III. Task 3 Results – County Meetings
A meeting was held on December 17, 2013 with the Los Angeles County Public Works and the
City. The detailed minutes of the meeting are attached in Appendix 3. The highlights area as
follows:
1) An estimated $14 million in improvements must be made by the City prior to releasing
maintenance to LACPW.
2) Requirements to Annex Sewer Lines to LACPW:
a. City to provide letter stating commitment to annex sewer system to LACPW
b. City to state when and which sewer lines are going to be annexed to LACPW
c. City Council to approve formal request (by way of City Resolution)
d. Public hearing at LACPW Board meeting (held in downtown Los Angeles Office)
3) LACPW will require City to provide Public Outreach to residents, business owners, etc.
(tentatively summer of 2014)
4) Entire process for sewer annexation is estimated at 6 months
5) If annexation is completed by August 2015, fee will take effect in property tax on November
2015.
6) LACPW prefers not to be contracted out for sewer O&M by a city
7) LACPW will not guarantee response to overflows within 1 hour of service request
8) The letter to LACPW can request terms and conditions that are more favorable to the City,
such as an exemption on the 6 inch line replacement.
The following Table I describes the pros and cons of the City annexation into the County’s
Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (CSMD).
Table 2 illustrates the City’s sewer budgeted costs for operation and maintenance for the Fiscal
Year 2014-15 and the actual costs for the last few years. If the City wanted to levy their own
sewer service charge (as described in Appendix 4) to cover the budgeted cost of $339,454 for
Fiscal Year 2014-15, the charge would be approximately $31.75/year/single family home. At the
proposed rate of $50.50/year/single family home by the County, the City could generate
approximately $545,000 in revenue.
The difference of $205,546 could be used on a pay-as-you-go basis for sewer rehabilitation or
funds could be borrowed against that revenue stream to make more sewer rehabilitation
improvements more immediately. This difference is based upon budgeted costs. Actual costs
could be less and therefore the difference could be greater.

Table 1
City of Hermosa Beach
Annexation into the County’s Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (CSMD)
PROS CONS
1) Outsource operations and
maintenance of the City’s sewers to
the County. The City will no longer
operate and maintain their sewers
with savings going to the City.
1) City loses control over their sewers but
still owns them.
2) Cities interviewed are happy with the
services provided by the County.
2) Currently, response times to sewer
overflows by the City are 15 minutes;
County response times are 1-2 hours.
One City interviewed said “they don’t
treat us like a client.”
3) County would establish and collect a
sewer fee to pay for O+M within the
City. The rate for 2013-14 is
$47.50/year/single family resident.
The rate will be $50.50/year/single
family resident for 2014-15.
3) If the City established the sewer fee,
they control the amount, the cost and
the revenue stream that could go to
sewer improvement. If the County
levees the fee, left over revenue stays
with the County. The City of Pico Rivera
is de-annexing from CSMD because of
financial savings they will receive.
4) The County can generate reports
required by federal and state reporting
agencies.
4) The reports often are hard to get and
are not separated into one City.
5) The County requires that $14 million in
improvements be made to the City’s
sewers to get them to County
standards. Many of these
improvements are needed and
overdue.
5) If the City improved their sewers to City
standards then the City could save
approximately $2.5 million in
improvements by not upgrading 6 inch
sewers to 8 inch sewers as required by
the County.

IV. Steps Going Forward
1) The City decides to continue to operate and maintain their own sewers. They could start the
process of levying their own sewer service charge. The rate and method of this charge
would need to be determined and approved by City Council. Public outreach to residential
business owners, etc. would be initiated for the public hearing on the service charge.
Or
2) The City Council decides to annex to the LACPW CMSD. A letter proposal would need to be
prepared stating the City’s commitment to annex into the CSMD, stating a commitment to
make improvements to the sewer system and describe favorable terms and conditions the
City would like to have with the County.

SEWER SERVICE CHARGE STUDY
SUMMARY REPORT
53
April 22, 2014
CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH
SEWER SERVICE CHARGE STUDY
SUMMARY REPORT
I. Introduction
Scope of Services:
Task 1 – Rate & Method
The City Sewer Service Charge will be based on the concept of “Sewer Unit.” A single
family residential property will be charged at the rate of “1 sewer unit.” All other land
uses will have a Sewer Service Charge calculated at rates in the multiples of the sewer
unit. These rates will be based upon the impacts of the various land uses on the sewer
system. The Rate & Method will be similar to the West Hollywood and Pico Rivera’s
Rate & Method. The formula will satisfy the “proportional cost” language of Prop 218.
Task 2 – Revenue Generated at Different Rates
Once we have an agreed upon Rate & Method with City staff, revenue estimates will be
prepared at different single family rates. Results will be presented to the City.
Task 3 – Revenue Generated by County Rate & Method
We will take the current County Rate & Method for 2013-2014 and apply it to the City
of Hermosa Beach’s database. The revenue generated will be determined and
presented to the City.
Task 4 – Summary Report
A summary report will be prepared summarizing the results of Tasks 1-3.
Task 5 – Meetings
PENCO will attend three (3) meetings with staff and one (1) Council meeting.
II. Task 1 Results – Rate & Method
After further review of the West Hollywood service charge and Pico Rivera’s service
charge, it was determined that the West Hollywood rate and method was prepared
after the passage of Proposition 218 and was the best model for the City of Hermosa
Beach. The Pico Rivera rate and method is the same as the County of Los Angeles that
was approved before Proposition 218.
The West Hollywood rate and method is attached in Appendix I. Also included in
Appendix I is the County of Los Angeles’ rate and method.
54
A single family residential property will be charged at the rate of “1 sewer unit.” All
other land uses will have a sewer service charge calculated at rates in multiplies of the
sewer unit. These rates will be based upon the impacts of the various land uses on the
sewer system.
III. Task 2 Results – Revenue Generated at Different Rates
The County currently charges $47.50 per sewage unit per year. For fiscal year
2014-2015, it will be $50.50 per sewage unit per year.
Using the West Hollywood rate and method and applying it to the Hermosa Beach
database supplied by City staff for various rates, revenue estimates were determined.
At a rate of $50/year for a single family home, it is estimated that approximately
$540,000.00 will be generated in revenue. The table below depicts estimated
revenues at varying rates.
IV. Task 3 Results – Revenue Generated by County Rate & Method
The Los Angeles County formula as shown in Appendix 1 was applied to City of
Hermosa Beach database supplied by City staff. At the rate of $47.50/unit per year,
the County would receive approximately $490,000 in revenue for 2013-2014. In
2014-2015, the County rate will be $50.50/unit per year and will generate
approximately $520,000 in revenue.

QUESTIONS/ITEMS FROM 2014-15 BUDGET WORKSHOP
May 22, 2014
1. Some City Councilmembers expressed an interest in meeting with John Bartel,
independent actuary, for follow up questions to his presentation at the Budget Workshop.
Meetings with actuary John Bartel are scheduled for Friday, June 6, 2014. John Bartel will also return, probably in August, when we have the new actuarial study for other post-
employment benefits (OPEB) covering fiscal years 2015-16 through 2017-18.
2. On page 23 of the Preliminary Budget, in the Sales Tax by Comparison by Geographic
Area chart, is the decrease in PCH revenue due to a decline in auto dealer sales tax
revenue? Yes, the decrease in the auto dealer category ($43,814 – not shown on the chart) is
actually more than the decrease in the PCH category ($21,308), so the change can be attributed to that category. Other PCH businesses actually made up for some of the
decrease.
3. Is our TOT rate average compared to other cities? There was discussion regarding short term rentals and increasing the TOT rates. Staff was asked to provide a survey of
TOT rates and the latest TOT report to Council. Our rates are below average at 10% vs. the 11.6% shown in the survey cities. See the
attached survey, page 7 and copy of the TOT agenda item from 6/9/09, page 7. (it was part of the budget adoption item – only the TOT portion of the item is included herein.)
4. A question was asked if a policy discussion regarding increasing revenue required a public hearing. Staff indicated we would check with the City Attorney.
The City Attorney indicates a public hearing is not required. Generally speaking, a
discussion about whether to consider a revenue increase would be within the scope of
the budget workshop or budget discussion. If there is consensus among the Council, staff would be directed to bring back a report for Council consideration at a noticed
meeting.
5. How much revenue was received when meter rates were increased from $1.00 to
$1.25? There was concern from one Councilmember that increased rates would affect businesses negatively.
The increase in street parking meters rates from $1.00 to $1.25 was approved in 2008-09. Revenue increased by 10% or $152,605 from 2007-08 to 2009-10.
If there is Council consensus, it is recommended that this item come back for discussion with the pilot free parking program in August.
6. Discussion of parking in one hour zones for business customers. There was concern from one Councilmember that these zones should be available for business customers.
70
If there is Council consensus, it is recommended that this item come back for discussion with the pilot free parking program in August.
7. Consider the Insurance Fund balance over goal amount of $3 million; spend excess on capital improvements.
It is recommended that the City Council consider this item at midyear when actual fund balances are known. The fund balances in the budget are estimates at this point. The
staff report for the budget does identify other funding options for capital projects.
With respect to the Insurance Fund, staff will ask the City Council to make a decision on
June 24, 2014 regarding the higher probability level for recording insurance claims which is discussed in the budget message on page 26-27.
8. The Mayor requested that a copy of the investment guidelines be distributed.
See attached resolution DGRSWHLQJ the investment policy, page
9. Taxi franchise – how do our fees compare to other cities?
See the attached comparison chart, page
10. Is the cost of plaza enforcement known?
This is not something that has been tracked. It is the intent of the Police Department to
begin tracking downtown deployment starting this fiscal year.
11. Increasing the amount in the budget for 50/50 audits was raised by one Councilmember.
$12,000 is budgeted in the City Council budget on page 82.
12. It was requested that detailed information about City Council benefits and travel costs be
provided at Midyear Review.
Staff will include this item in the Midyear Review.
13. City Clerk – One City Councilmember asked if assistance with minutes was needed.
Additional staff was not requested by the City Clerk for the new budget. A
reclassification of existing staff was requested but was not recommended by the City Manager due to the fact that we are currently conducting a citywide classification and
compensation study.

QUESTIONS AND COMENTS ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2014-15
FROM COUNCILMEMBER TUCKER, 6/4/14
Since the Capital Improvement Projects are specifically on the agenda for review, we are
providing Councilmember Tucker’s questions and the answers from Public Works staff
in case they are helpful to other Councilmembers.
Page 1 of the budget agenda item does provide options for additional funding for capital
improvement projects.
1. CIP 13-127, page 256, Is this a carryover from 2013-14? If so please clarify: Will these
funds be added to 2014-15 improvement project improvements?
The money indicated for CIP 13-127 on page 256 is approximately how much will be carried
over to finish the project during FY 14-15. No additional monies have been requested for this
project. A separate budget is requested for the design and completion of CIP 14-128.
2. CIP14-128, page 260, Can all the engineering (design work) be done at one time for the
projects thru FY18-19 To save going out every year. Also it would be good to explain the PCI
current rating and maybe what it was 5 years ago to show the improvements and at mid-year
budget review the Council could put more funds in these yearly projects. Also sewers need to
be also repaired or replaced that would impact street improvements
Typically consultant charges are based on the number of sheets produced, so savings would
not necessarily be recognized with consolidating the projects. However, savings in design may
be recognized by increasing the construction scope that would require a marginal increase in
consultant fees. Savings might also be recognized through savings in staff time by minimizing
staff reports and meetings.
A disadvantage to consolidating design; Plans are subject to change for a variety of reasons:
i.e. funding, un-anticipated needs that require significant changes to the plans, coordinating
plans with other projects, changes to meet actual field conditions at the time of construction.
The savings that might have been achieved would be quickly offset by changes made to adapt
the plans to meet changing field conditions. Staff does not have the specific design resources to
make appropriate changes and may be prohibited to alter the engineer of record’s design.
3. CIP 11-141 page 262, Explain possible funding from COG and measure R mobility
improvement funding passed at last Council meeting (May 27, 2014)
This project was submitted to the SBCOG as a potential candidate for funding through the
South Bay Measure R Highway Program Funds. The project must be able to demonstrate an
improvement to mobility and a nexus to the South Bay’s regional transportation corridors. Gould
Avenue/27th Street is identified as a major collector that feeds directly into PCH and Artesia
Boulevard (Principal Arterials) as identified in Caltrans’ California’s Road System. The project is
under review by the COG. Staff believes the project will increase mobility as it will incorporate
living street elements such as pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle improvements.
101
The goal of the South Bay Measure R Highway Program (SBHP) is to improve the operations
and safety of the South Bay highway and freeway network. The South Bay Cities Council of
Governments (SBCCOG) is partnering with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (Metro), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and South Bay
jurisdictions to fund transportation projects that in improve mobility, safety, and sustainability on
transportation corridors in the South Bay. The SBCCOG serves as the program manager
through its Measure R Oversight Committee to help develop and oversee the South Bay
Measure R Highway Program of projects.
4. CIP 12-143 page 264, Explain possible funding from COG and Measure R mobility
improvement funding request passed at last Council meeting (May 27, 2014) and other
funding possibilities
This project was submitted to the SBCOG as a potential candidate for funding through the
South Bay Measure R Highway Program Funds. The project must be able to demonstrate an
improvement to mobility and a nexus to the South Bay’s regional transportation corridors. PCH
is identified as a Principal Arterial in Caltrans’ California’s Road System. The project is under
review by the COG. Staff is working on developing the nexus on how the project can contribute
to improve mobility, safety, and sustainability on this heavily travelled corridor.
5. CIP 12-160 page 270 Is this related to page 264
CIP 12-160 focuses on low-cost improvements that essentially involve retiming signals phasing,
modifying the traffic signal at Pier Ave& PCH to improve mobility (introduces a pedestrian phase
only), provide curb extension at N/W corner of Pier Ave. and 14th Street, extend s/b left turn
lane at Aviation Ave., and reshape median islands for n/b traffic at Aviation Ave. and Artesia
Street to slow turning vehicles. This project is partially funded with South Bay Measure R
Highway Program Funds, since the intent of the improvements are to improve traffic relief to the
405 Freeway.
CIP 12-143 is an overall complete streetscape design along PCH and Aviation within City Limit
6. CIP14-0163 page 272, What streets and could the City use same engineering plan as
for the bollards on Pier Plaza and Hermosa Avenue.
The funding request is to perform preliminary engineering to determine what methods may be
feasible to deter errant vehicles onto The Strand while still maintain access to daily
maintenance operations, emergency, and public safety vehicles. The bollards on the plaza were
a “fixed” design for the specific purpose to prevent runaway vehicles from entering onto the
plaza. Preliminary engineering might identify locations to benefit from a fixed bollard design.
7. CIP 14-168 page 274, More study required, school needs to look at plan (traffic) and
approval from City Council
More studies are needed for this project.
8. CIP 13-401 page 276, Need more funding for this year’s request.
102
CIP 13-401, page 276, indicates the approximate amount of money that will be used during FY
14-15 to complete the project. City Council can elect to increase funding and should be take into
consideration the citywide capital repairs that also need to take place.
9. CIP 114-402 page 278, Can design (engineering) work be done for all project thru
FY18-19 as on CIP14-128 SEWER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM page 317 needs to be
presented in order to proceed with CIP 114-402 page 278
Similarly to the street improvement projects, there is possible savings in design by increasing
the construction scope and consolidating future sewer improvements into one project. However,
the disadvantage in designing the sewer improvements in advance is due to changes in repair
practices, standards, and the varied (usage) deterioration of the sewer lines. The condition of
city sewer lines is dynamic and can vary in a short period of time; therefore, altering the design
and priority of sewer lines to be repaired. Changes in the design may also be prohibited without
the involvement of the engineer of record.
Scope of work for the Sewer improvements for CIP 14-402 will be determined on the current list
of needed repairs identified in the City’s 2011 Sewer Master plan Report as well as the list of
streets scheduled for repair for next year.
10. CIP 14-541 page 286 and CIP 11-602 page 288 Should electrical up grades be done
first (CIP11-602) and then Energy Efficient upgrades (CIP14-541) Need new switch gear to
power new lighting?
CIP 11-602 is currently under design. CIP 14-541 will follow to upgrade poles and lights to be
more energy efficient.
The newly designed switchgear should be sufficient for the energy efficient lights
11. CIP 14-623 page 298 Project long overdue Fire personal should not be in a building
that needs seismic upgrades since 2000!!
CIP 14-623 has indicated an approximate cost for the demolition of the Fire Department Tower
and is planned to be completed in FY 14-15.
12. CIP13-659 page 306 Needs to be funded (State Help!!) or the Pier might have to be
closed until repairs are done.
JMC2’s February 2012 report outlined a repair plan that consisted of performing repairs
following a phased approach based on a level of damage.
The report did not suggest closing the pier before repairs. However, the Pier will be closed
during each phase of repairs. The requested funds allow a phased approach. We are currently
designing the repairs for Phase II and seeking sources of new funds.
13. CIP10-661 page 308 Will City be reimbursed for staff time this was to a volunteer
Committee??
103
The reimbursement of staff time was not specified in the agreement prepared with the surf
memorial trust. The funds are specific to construction/materials.
14. CIP13-664 page 310 This is needed repairs and/upgrades otherwise City facilities are
unusable
The study will include a needs and space planning analysis, seismic evaluation, ADA
compliance and transition plan, building systems assessment (including major mechanical,
electrical, plumbing), and an asbestos / lead-based paint survey.
15. Safe Route to School 8th Street page 315 Can the use of Edison undergrounding funds
be used ($650,000 approx.) All utilities need to undergrounded or moved (Cal. Water, Verizon
and Edison) they are currently encroaching into the area of a Safe Route sidewalk. This should
be a high priority!! CAN’T BUILD A SIDEWALK WITH POWER POLES, FIRE HYDRANTS AND
PEDISTALS (Verizon) IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. What is the progress in getting the Grant??
We cannot use SCE 20A Rule Funds for this project as they are earmarked towards major
corridors.
Survey and design will indicate whether poles will present an obstacle to SR2S. Past
experience has shown that encroachments were more of the main obstacle and will need to be
addressed.
Results of the ATP Grant will be noticed in November 2014.
I ask these questions in hopes that Staff will be able to answer them and hopefully speed the
process at the City Council meeting on June 10, 2014.
