City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 1 Primed on 10272021 ooIeZt66 Lep star Ella ..w}. CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING — COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DAN KALMICK DATE: NOVEMBER 2, 2021 SUBJECT: DEVELOP A PLAN AND COST ANALYSIS TO MOVE THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH MUNICIPAL CORPORATION'S POWER CONSUMPTION TO 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY The City of Huntington Beach is home to nearly 10 miles of beautiful coastline and due to the recent oil spill, we saw it directly impacted. This environmental devastation points to the fact that fossil fuels must be phased out. It is my belief that it would be prudent for the City to invest in alternative sources of energy to power city operations; thereby setting an example for the community. In December of 2020, the City took the first step in moving towards a more sustainable energy future for our residents by joining the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA.). The City of Huntington Beach currently uses approximately 1,000 GWh of energy collectively (this includes all rate classes — residential, commercial, industrial, and street lighting) per year. The City's current electricity provider, Southern California Edision (SCE), offers a 100% renewable rate called the "Green Rate." This rate class brings with it complexity due to the fact that some of the City's municipal accounts are on the original Net Energy Metering program. Since municipal service from Orange County Power Authority is not scheduled to begin until April 2022 it would be prudent to explore interim renewable energy options to power our operations. To that end, I would like to direct staff to perform an analysis of 100% renewable energy pricing from both SCE and OCPA based on the City's municipal usage across all funds and rate classes. I would like this brought back to City Council no later than 90 days. The analysis should include timelines for moving municipal accounts to 100% renewable. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Manager direct the Public Works Department to prepare the analysis for City Council consideration. 2166 Moore, Tania From: Zachary Bernstein (Student HBHS) <zabernstein100@student.hbuhsd.edu> Sent: Monday, November 1, 2021 3:04 PM To: Bolton, Rhonda; Delgleize, Barbara; Kalmick, Dan; Peterson, Erik; Carr, Kim; Posey, Mike; Moser, Natalie Cc: CITY COUNCIL; supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org; Chi, Oliver, Crumby, Sean Subject: Item 30: Yes to 100% renewable electricity!

Dear Mayor Carr and City Councilmembers. I regard human-caused climate change as the greatest challenge of our time and a major test of our ability to have a functioning democracy that serves the common good. For anyone who holds the slightest interest in politics and current events, climate issues cannot be ignored, for they intersect with virtually every other issue, from national security to energy production to transportation infrastructure to biodiversity to clean air to terrorism to taxation and regulation, and above all, to morality and ethics. We owe it to future generations to take a strong stand in support of clean energy. A strong position here is absolutely necessary given the inaction at the federal level.

On another note, Item 31 looks to divest the portfolio holdings in Chevron. I would rather the city look to "add" renewable energy to the portfolio, while still holding some interest in Chevron,as long as the yield is acceptable.Not eliminate it in its entirety,just because it is in the oil industry. The oil industry still provides material that has many uses outside of just providing electricity for powering homes, and therefore it remains a viable company and industry in which to invest. Invest in multiple sources and diversify the city's holdings is what I would advise moving forward. Investing in bonds and other dividend yielding companies would be prudent and,overall, it protects the investment of the city. Thank you again for passing the Recent City Resolution calling for a ban to new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters, that shows what the city is about...surfing, not cleaning up the catastrophes of man.

As a coalition of organizations representing faith. environmental, justice and other community groups and interests in Huntington Beach and the broader Orange County community, we appreciate your work to accelerate equitable climate action in Huntington Beach and call on you to help provide all Huntington Beach families 100% clean electricity as soon as possible. The climate crisis will harm all families, but will harm low-income communities and communities of color the first and worst. In order to clean our air, protect our health. and slash our carbon pollution, we must power our lives with 100% clean electricity. We have an incredible opportunity to offer Huntington Beach families 100% clean electricity through the newly launched nonprofit public power agency. the Orange County Power Authority. In order to make this happen. the Mayor and Council must vote to make 100% renewable electricity the default option for all Huntington Beach families. We also understand that we must evaluate the rate impacts of all OCPA decisions, and we are eager to have a public hearing on what the projected rate impacts for 100% clean electricity will be For these reasons, we request that you place an item on the Huntington Beach City Council agenda as soon as possible to facilitate a discussion and vote on 100% renewable electricity for Huntington Beach through OCPA. With OCPA's launch planned for April 2022, these decisions need to be made soon. These actions can enable Huntington Beach to join the growing list of California cities that have selected 100% renewables as their default product through Community Choice, ensure the success of OCPA, and help solidify your legacy as leaders on climate and equity issues.

We have seen the damage fossil fuels do to our environment, ecosystems, and air quality. These disasters are not one off events, but inevitable bumps in the road when reliant on fossil fuels. If global warming wasn't enough of a dire existential threat, then pledge to clean energy to protect our beaches and guarantee our grandchildren can swim in the same waters we grew up in. with regards, Ashton Gilbert SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION Meeang Date:_ l I aI ao 9.1 Agenda Item No.� t Moore, Tania From: Fikes, Cathy Sent: Tuesday, November 2, 2021 9:23 AM To: Agenda Alerts Subject: FW: Item 30: 100% Renewable Energy!

Hello, I support every decision that you make that leads us towards a healthier Earth. Item 430 at the City Council meeting on 11/2/21 is another opportunity to stop using fossil fuels and start the discussion about 100%carbon free electricity for H13 citizens through the Orange County Power Authority. Please vote in support of item #30! At the meeting on November 2nd, please plan to switch the city's power use to 100% renewable energy and reinvest financing away from fossil fuel companies. Polling data shows that people overwhelmingly want leaders to take dramatic action to tackle the climate crisis. There is a very strong level of public support in favor of a 100% renewable energy option upon the CCA rollout next year(preferably this would be the default). In this moment of crisis and uncertainty. I remain hopeful that together we all prioritise the climate crisis and make good decisions towards a healthy future.

We have an incredible opportunity to offer Huntington Beach families 100% clean electricity through the newly launched nonprofit public power agency. the Orange County Power Authority. In order to make this happen. the Mayor and Council must vote to make 100% renewable electricity the default option for all Huntington Beach families. We also understand that we must evaluate the rate impacts of all OCPA decisions, and we are eager to have a public hearing on what the projected rate impacts for 100% clean electricity will be For these reasons, we request that you place an item on the Huntington Beach City Council agenda as soon as possible to facilitate a discussion and vote on 100% renewable electricity for Huntington Beach through OCPA. With OCPA's launch planned for April 2022, these decisions need to be made soon These actions can enable Huntington Beach to join the growing list of California cities that have selected 100% renewables as their default product through Community Choice, ensure the success of OCPA, and help solidify your legacy as leaders on climate and equity issues. i Sincerely, Pastor D.
