[Sustain] Important: Need GM Agenda Item - City Efficiency/Solar Ordinance

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

Jake McGoldrick has proposed an ordinance that will be in committee this 
coming Thursday, which will restrict the use of the Mayor's Energy 
Conservation Account (MECA) so that it emphasizes efficiency over solar 
and so that it can only be used on public projects and affordable 
housing nonprofits.

This ordinance (see attached) is meant to correct the legal landscape 
which allowed the Mayor to create his bogus privatized solar program, 
and looks like it will effectively do so.

It needs an amendment to make sure that its restrictions do not 
interfere with the public Community Choice renewable energy project, but 
otherwise seems like it jives with the decision we made a couple of 
months ago.

Since it will be voted on the next day we should decide on endorsing 
this Wednesday.

I'm requesting 5 minutes on the GM Agenda for discussion and action.

peace

Eric Brooks
