CLEAN ENERGY ALLIANCE DATE: TO: FROM: ITEM7: Staff Report January 27, 2022 Clean Energy Alliance Board of Directors Barbara Boswell, Chief Executive Officer Discuss and Provide Direction Related to In Person Clean Energy Alliance Board Meeting Location RECOMMENDATION Discuss and provide direction related to in person Clean Energy Alliance Board meeting location. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Section 4.8 of the Clean Energy Alliance's (CEA) Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) states that the date, hour, and place of each regular meeting shall be fixed annually by resolution of the Board, and that the location of regular meetings may rotate for the convenience of the member agencies, subject to Board approval and availability of appropriate meeting space. At its regular meeting May 27, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2021-010 setting the time and place for meetings to be held July 2021 through June 2022. While the resolution identified a location for the meetings, during the current state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic, CEA's Board meetings have been held remote pursuant to AB361. The authorization for holding meetings remote are set to expire March 31, 2022. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-010, the meeting schedule for meetings after March 2022 are as follows: DATE TIME LOCATION April 28, 2022 2pm Carlsbad City Hall May 26, 2022 2pm Del Mar City Hall June 30, 2022 2pm Solana Beach City Hall Questions for Board consideration: • Does the Board desire to hold the April -June 2022 pursuant to the adopted schedule or make changes to the schedule? o Should the Board desire to change the location for any meetings already scheduled through the remainder of this fiscal year, it would result in the scheduled regular January 27, 2022 In Person Meeting Location Page 2 of2 meeting being canceled and the updated meeting would be considered a special meeting. • What is the Board's preference regarding meeting schedule and location for the coming period July 1, 2022 -June 30, 2023? Based on input provided by the Board, staff will initiate conversations with staff of the potential meeting locations to determine ability for CEA to hold meetings at the location and make necessary preparations to meet CEA's customer participation/viewing requirements. Staff will report back on their findings by the March 31, 2022, meeting. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS None
