Hi Antonia,
I asked Prof. Brouwer about using CEC funds for the Spark Fellowship, and he indicated that he was formally asking for
approval from the CEC, so it should be ok to apply for the fellowship.
Regards,
Robert

Re: CivicSpark Fellow Work
The City of Huntington Beach would like to utilize EPIC grant funding for a CivicSpark Fellow.
The CivicSpark Fellow is part of a Governor's Initiative AmeriCorps program administered by
the Local Government Commission in partnership with the Governor's Office of Planning and
Research. As an AmeriCorps Fellow, they are paid a stipend which is less than a normal staff
member would be paid, while gaining valuable experience in community engagement, energy
technology, and project management.
The CivicSpark Fellow will perform research, help in the initial drafting of documents, and
provide initial data analysis. Additional duties will include supporting the City in the outreach of
the community. This is a unique community and one that needs a bilingual outreach partner
who can speak to the community using laymans terms and have the ability to interact with a
community on a more frequent basis.
A Civic Spark Fellow has previously been approved by the California Energy Commission to work
on a similar project for the Local Government Commission.
