FROM: Barbara Boswell, Interim Chief Executive Officer
ITEM 6: Clean Energy Alliance Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
Review, provide input and approve Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At its special meeting on May 7, 2020, the CEA Board of Directors provided input to staff regarding
drafting of an Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy (Policy) (Attachment A) to be brought back to the
Board for consideration at its July meeting.
The Board referenced the Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy
(Attachment B), with direction that the PCE policy be used as a starting point and that it be revised to
ensure conformity with the CEA Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement Recital 6f which states:
Pursue the procurement of local generation of renewable power developed by or within
member jurisdictions with an emphasis on local jobs, where appropriate, without
limiting fair and open competition for projects or programs implemented by the
Authority;
Additional information was provided by the Board, which had been received from the Sierra Club and
IBEW 569 (Attachment C) suggesting edits to the PCE Inclusive & Sustainable Workforce Policy.
In drafting the proposed CEA Policy staff and CEA General Counsel took into consideration Board
comments from the May 7, 2020 special meeting, the CEA JPA Agreement, the PCE Policy and the edits
provided by Sierra Club and IBEW 569.
Changes reflected in the proposed CEA Policy for consistency with the JPA Agreement include:
• Added language from JPA Agreement related to the policy not limiting fair and open
competition;
• Edited language such as "shall" and "will" to strive;
• Edited language such as "require" to "encourage";
• Removed language that refers to project labor agreements.
The Policy as proposed reflects efforts to meet the requests and concerns expressed by the Board,
conformity with the JPA Agreement and suggestion provided by the Sierra Club and IBEW 569.

JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
INCLUSIVE & SUSTAINABLE WORKFORCE POLICY
The Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) Board of Directors desires to establish a policy that supports
local jobs, sustainable and inclusive workforce opportunities, local economic sustainability, and
diversity through contracting for power sources, procuring goods and services, and
implementing hiring initiatives where appropriate, without limiting fair and open competition
for projects or programs implemented by CEA.
CEA Staff
CEA relies on its employees to provide clean, cost-effective, alternative energy to its customers.
These customers live in diverse communities and an inclusive workforce of staff who reflect and
are invested in these communities allows CEA to serve them more effectively. An inclusive staff
also provides good jobs for people from diverse communities.
To help maintain and strengthen CEA's inclusive staff, CEA will strive to:
1. Engage in broad outreach efforts in diverse communities, including disadvantaged and
low-income communities, to ensure a diverse pool of candidates for open positions;
2. Provide fair compensation that aligns with regional market indicators for compensation
levels for each position;
3. Be transparent about these practices and lessons learned; and
4. Provide contact information for staff who can answer questions about this policy.
Supply Chain
CEA also strives for inclusion in its supply chain. Where and from whom CEA purchases good
and services have important consequences for businesses, customers, and their communities.
Where appropriate, an inclusive supply chain is an important driver for successful delivery of
CEA's services to its customers, and of fair and equitable economic development generally.
Where appropriate, and without limiting fair and open competition, to support an inclusive
supply chain, CEA will strive to:
1. Use local businesses and provide fair compensation in the purchase of services and
supplies;
2. Proactively seek services from local businesses that are taking steps to protect the
environment;

PENINSULA
CLEAN ENERGY
Policy Number: 10
Original Adoption Date:
December 15, 2016
Revised: October 25, 2018 MAW
Subject: Inclusive and Sustainable Workforce Policy
Policy: One of PCE's strategic goals is to "foster a work environment that espouses
sustainable business practices and cultivates a culture of innovation, diversity,
transparency, integrity, and commitment to the organization's mission and the
communities it serves." PCE recognizes that an inclusive and sustainable workforce
helps PCE meet its core mission and goals more effectively, serve its customers in a
more culturally sensitive manner, and reflect the businesses we partner with and the
community we serve more comprehensively. PCE strives to have a workforce that is
as inclusive as the community it serves.
Inclusive Workforce
PCE Staff
PCE relies on its employees to provide clean, cost-effective, alternative energy to its
customers. These customers live in diverse communities, and an inclusive workforce
comprised of staff who reflect and are invested in these communities allows PCE to
serve them more effectively. An inclusive staff also provides good jobs for people from
diverse communities.
To help maintain and strengthen PCE's inclusive staff, PCE will:
(1) Engage in broad outreach efforts in diverse communities, including
disadvantaged and low-income communities, to ensure a diverse pool of
candidates for open positions;
(2) Provide fair compensation that aligns with regional market indicators for
compensation levels for each position;
(3) Be transparent about these practices and lessons learned; and
(4) Provide contact information for staff who can answer questions about this
policy.
Supply Chain
PCE's commitment to inclusion also extends to its supply chain. Where and from
whom PCE purchases goods and services have important consequences for
businesses, customers, and their communities. An inclusive supply chain is an
important driver for successful delivery of PCE's services to its customers, and of fair
and equitable economic development generally.
To help ensure an inclusive supply chain, PCE will:

policy.
Inclusive Business Practices
To fulfill its core mission to provide energy choices to the diverse residents and
communities of San Mateo County, PCE must ensure that its services and information
are accessible to all communities. Accordingly, PCE will:
(1) Strive to provide information on PCE's services in the multiple languages
commonly spoken in PCE's service area (including mailers, tabling materials,
customer service, call center, workshops and outreach events,
advertisements, and other means of customer engagement);
(2) Conduct marketing and outreach in diverse communities (including
advertising in minority-owned media, establishing partnerships with
community organizations, and using various media, such as radio and

(3) Strive to attend important multi-cultural community events with multi-lingual
materials and speakers;
(4) Share information about activities and initiatives that promote inclusion,
