SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Welcome & Introductions Courtney Kalashian, SJVCEO, welcomed the group and introductions were made. CK let the group know of the changes that have gone on within Edison. She mentioned that the partnership has a new addition Holly Merrihew from Edison. HW is taking over for Michael DeSousa as program manager. CK stated that HM will be a welcome addition to the partnership. Action items from the February meeting were reviewed and discussed.

Partnership Business Review Action Items and Summary Notes CK ran down the list of action items from the last partnership meeting. The first action item will remain open as Joe Carlini and Frank Yanes have yet to meet and discuss items. CK then stated that she has spoken with Jeremy Battes in regards to the schedule of IOU surveys. She stated that JB will be checking into the item and send over the schedule that he currently has when he is back in the office. CK also stated that all of the other action items assigned to her will stay open and she will be working on those items in the next week or so.

Public Sector Business Plan Update With CK being the Co-Chair of the committee she is keeping everyone up to date on the latest information as it happens. She stated that this week they had their first meeting and it went over the GAP analysis from the program administrators. CK also stated that she was happy to hear that the PA’s are noticing that the rural areas are being left behind in some of the programs and they are making strides to fix that. She stated that she will be continuing to update the group as things progress.

Save the Date: SEEC Conference June 15th & 16th in Riverside CK reminded the partners of the upcoming SEEC conference that takes place every year. This year it will be taking place in Riverside on June 15th and 16th and sponsored by Western Riverside COG. This year’s conference will be split between two days as well as having the local government meeting on the day prior. Ck really recommends that partners take the time to make the trip. She believes that there is a lot of good information that comes out of the meeting. CK also wanted to remind the group that the IOU’s will sponsor their travel to this meeting. The sponsorship will cover all travel arrangements, but will not cover staff time.

Direct Install Calendar The Partnership was provided with the SCE DI calendar for 2016. Partner cities will have DI in their areas during the month of December. CK mentioned that she would like to do a co-branded outreach effort with those that will be served this year. She thinks that it would make most sense to have DI items handed out during the outreach events that will be held in October. The partners were in agreement with the idea. Diane Hull, County of Tulare, stated that she will pass along the dates and locations to Victor who will be taking over the counties seat in the partnership. CK said that would be great, since there is a lot of opportunity for the county during this year’s DI. Monthly Feature: SCE Savings by Design Dave Intner, Savings by Design, presented to the partners regarding municipal project opportunities within the Savings by Design program. The program is a California utility administered program so it covers all three (3) of the IOU’s in the Partnership. DI started with stating he wanted to demystify the program for partners. He stated that the program covers design assistance, owners incentive, design team incentives and energy design resources. DI stated that most projects that go through the program are buildings that are being built, but the program can be a retrofit as well.

He stated that there are two approaches to the program a whole building approach and a systems approach. A whole building approach is the best way to get the most EE savings. When you go with this approach you are allowing the SBD design team to consider integrated EE solutions as well as balancing energy and gas use. Many of the incentives included in this section are based upon Title 24 standards. With systems approach you are optimizing EE choices for less complex buildings. Incentives in the systems approach are flat rate incentives. He reminded the partners that since they are in the partnership they can also get their SCE ELP partnership kickers on top of the incentive. DI stated that the cap of the $500,000 went away after 2015 and now the cap is put at $150,000.

DI also stated that some other cities have started using a green building checklist in lieu of REACH codes in the private development sector. He threw the idea out there since those types of checklists would need to come from the building compliance sector of the municipalities. He also gave the group a few references that are helpful in the building process or the EE process as well.

Project Review and Updates PG&E Staples Report February 2016 DC reviewed the February Staples report and noted that there were no projects to report. He mentioned that he is aware of a few projects that are in the pipeline now for Kings County. DC also introduced the new institutional PG&E manager for the VIEW partnership, Isaias Franco. She stated that he will be a great resource for the partnership. IF stated that he is excited to be working with the partners and he is already eyeing a few opportunities that Jarred Olsen, SJVCEO, has identified from city/county meeting agendas.
