Discussion and Possible Action to Form a Board of Supervisors Ad Hoc Committee to Meet with PG&E and Other Government Entities Regarding the Potter Valley Project
(Sponsor: Water Agency)
End
RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION:
recommendation
Form a Board of Supervisors ad hoc committee to meet with PG&E and other government entities regarding the Potter Valley Project; and appoint two Mendocino County Supervisors to serve on the Committee.
End
PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
No previous action.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
On May 10, 2018, PG&E notified the Eel Russian River Commission that the company has decided to put the Potter Valley Project up for auction this fall. As PG&E prepares for the auction, they are open to exploring with local, county and/or state government entities that have an interest in the continued operation of the project the possibility of transferring it to a local or regional entity as an alternative to the auction. PG&E will assess the progress of a transfer to another government entity as they proceed, and based on meaningful progress, will either continue direct negotiations or proceed with the auction. To ensure that Mendocino County has a voice during the transfer or sale of the Potter Valley Project, the Mendocino County Water Agency recommends the Board of Directors/Board of Supervisors form an ad hoc committee to represent the County during this process.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not create ad hoc and provide alternative direction.
