00:08:57.460 --> 00:09:03.059
Unknown:  Here. Dr. Rose? Here. Chair Herber? Here. All committee members are present. Also present are

00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:09.539
SPEAKER_10:  directors Buie Thompson, Fishman, Sam Borden, and President Tamayo. Very good. Item number one is the

00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:18.419
SPEAKER_01:  sole discussion item on tonight's agenda and requires board action tonight. Item number one

00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:28.500
SPEAKER_01:  is to approve the SMUD disclosure in the transmission agency of Northern California

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:40.339
SPEAKER_01:  or TANK, the primary official statement for the TANK 2026 refunding bonds and authorize the CEO

00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:46.899
SPEAKER_01:  to determine that the information in the preliminary official statement is final.

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:56.580
SPEAKER_01:  Now we would like to bring forward Jennifer Restivo, our directory, our directory, God,

00:09:56.580 --> 00:10:03.139
SPEAKER_01:  you're that too, but you're the director of Treasury and Revenue Strategy.

00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:09.620
Unknown:  Thank you, Chair Herber, again, Jennifer Restivo, Director of Treasury and Revenue Strategy,

00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:13.379
Unknown:  and thank you for doing that full mouthful because it is quite a lot to say.

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:19.539
SPEAKER_08:  So really I'm here tonight because SMUD is a member of the transmission agency of Northern

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:23.299
SPEAKER_08:  California. We lovingly refer to it as TANK because that's much easier to say.

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:29.460
SPEAKER_08:  And TANK is a joint power authority that was created to build and operate a transmission line

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:34.419
SPEAKER_08:  that goes from the California-Oregon border into California. It's known as the COTP line,

00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:41.059
SPEAKER_08:  California-Oregon transmission project. SMUD is a member of TANK, so as part of that we get our

00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:48.099
SPEAKER_08:  power from up north through that transmission line, the low and carbon free power from the northwest.

00:10:48.099 --> 00:10:53.139
SPEAKER_08:  And so just as you have the opportunity sometimes to refinance your home mortgage,

00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:59.379
SPEAKER_08:  because interest rates have changed, TANK has the opportunity to refinance its bonds that it issued

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:05.700
SPEAKER_08:  in 2016. And so obviously there's a lot of, if you've watched the news, there's a lot of

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:12.259
SPEAKER_08:  volatility in the markets at this point in time. And so the numbers I'm going to give you may not

00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:18.019
SPEAKER_08:  come to fruition. The current estimate is that TANK will save up to $16 million or about $2

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:23.779
SPEAKER_08:  million a year in interest. SMUD as a member of TANK will get those savings passed on to us.

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:29.459
SPEAKER_08:  So that could be about $700,000 a year. Obviously there's a lot of volatility happening.

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:38.419
Unknown:  And so if for some reason that deal was not beneficial to TANK, they would not do the

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:44.579
SPEAKER_08:  transaction. So next week the TANK commission will be likely approving the official statement

00:11:44.579 --> 00:11:50.579
SPEAKER_08:  disclosure and moving forward with that bond deal. And so we're asking for the SMUD board to approve

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:56.740
SPEAKER_08:  our SMUD disclosure being part of TANK's official statement because we are one of the five largest

00:11:56.740 --> 00:12:00.980
SPEAKER_08:  members. And so therefore our disclosure is part of TANK's disclosure when they do a bond deal.

00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:07.940
SPEAKER_08:  So our disclosure document has gone through a lot of review from lots of people across the

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:16.020
SPEAKER_08:  organization, Paul, executives, directors, and legal review. And so it is, and you've received

00:12:16.019 --> 00:12:20.899
SPEAKER_08:  that. And so you have this, that document will be going into TANK's and then obviously we will

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:27.460
SPEAKER_08:  be able to reuse that document when we do our bond issuance later this year. Great. Well, once again,

00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:34.340
SPEAKER_01:  you all in finance are saving us money, which is great. Are there questions from the board?

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:43.059
Unknown:  Just real quick, was the disclosure created for this purpose or are we using like last year's?

00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:47.139
Unknown:  Will we start from last year's and then update it? And so will this then flow into some of our

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:52.659
SPEAKER_02:  work later this year? Yes. Yes. Timing-wise it should be, we should be able to reuse it for

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:55.139
SPEAKER_08:  SMUD bonds. They're always, if you ever, I wish to be able to be able to be able to

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:59.939
SPEAKER_02:  everyone at a single point of what's going on. It's a great document. So much information in there.

00:13:02.659 --> 00:13:11.459
Unknown:  Okay. Seeing no other comments, do we need to have a motion? We need to have a motion to accept

00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:26.899
Unknown:  the disclosure so that we can proceed with the TANK bond. Is there a second?

00:13:28.739 --> 00:13:35.539
Unknown:  All those in favor say aye. We'll need to do a roll call though. Sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:44.819
SPEAKER_01:  thinking I'm in my nonprofit group. Dr. Rose? Aye. Dr. B. Thompson? Yes. Dr. Fishman? Aye. Dr.

00:13:44.819 --> 00:13:53.539
SPEAKER_10:  Herber? Yes. Vice President Kern? Aye. Dr. Samhorn? Aye. President Tamayo? Yes. The motion is approved.

00:13:55.059 --> 00:14:03.699
Unknown:  Wonderful. And be sure and deliver some love from the SMUD board to Jim Shetler because he,

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:12.180
SPEAKER_01:  I bet he had something to do with this. Okay. Well, let me ask if we have, I haven't received

00:14:12.180 --> 00:14:20.980
SPEAKER_01:  any cards about anyone who wants to testify. Chief legal officer, have we received any requests

00:14:22.020 --> 00:14:23.700
SPEAKER_01:  from virtual attendees?

00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:44.660
SPEAKER_01:  No. No, we're not. Okay. Great. Okay. So we've already done the motion, so we don't need to do

00:14:44.659 --> 00:14:54.819
SPEAKER_01:  that, right? Okay. So item number two is to discuss the monitoring report for strategic

00:14:54.819 --> 00:15:06.579
SPEAKER_01:  direction six, which is safety leadership. And the newly appointed Emily Bakhini,

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:13.459
SPEAKER_01:  director of safety, environmental, and real estate will make the presentation.

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:21.139
Unknown:  Thank you, Chair Herber. Good evening. My name is Emily Bakhini, and I am the director of safety,

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:25.780
SPEAKER_00:  environmental, and real estate services. And I'm happy to share tonight with you the monitoring

00:15:25.780 --> 00:15:31.139
SPEAKER_00:  report for strategic direction six, safety leadership. This is, we come to the board twice

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:41.300
SPEAKER_00:  a year, so this is the second half of 2025. The first objective of SD6 is to reduce the number

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:47.939
SPEAKER_00:  of severe incidents that are with our, I'm sorry, reduce the number of severe incidents

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:55.779
SPEAKER_00:  that cause days away or restricted time. And the board limit for that in 2025 was 13. The

00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:07.059
SPEAKER_00:  SD6 had a goal to reduce starts by 2025 to 13. And that goal was set in 2021, the year before we had

00:16:07.619 --> 00:16:14.979
SPEAKER_00:  26 darts. So the goal was set to reduce the number of darts by 50%. And I am happy to report that

00:16:15.619 --> 00:16:23.699
SPEAKER_00:  we had 12 darts in 2025, although we never want to have any sort of workplace incident.

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:30.579
SPEAKER_00:  We had a total of 34 OSHA recordables, including those 12 darts. And then our dart rate was 5,

00:16:30.660 --> 00:16:37.780
SPEAKER_00:  I'm sorry, .54. And the industry standard is 1.2. The dart rate is calculated based off of the number

00:16:37.780 --> 00:16:43.780
SPEAKER_00:  of dart incidents that we have relative to the total number of hours employees work.

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:51.060
Unknown:  You may recall when I was here about six months ago, we were taking a closer look at the data to

00:16:51.060 --> 00:16:56.180
SPEAKER_00:  understand when our darts were occurring. And we found that the large majority of them are twice as

00:16:56.179 --> 00:17:05.460
SPEAKER_00:  many occurred in the third quarter. So we had a special awareness campaign to work to reduce

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:10.259
SPEAKER_00:  or prevent that doubling of darts occurring in the third quarter. And we're successful in that.

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:16.259
SPEAKER_00:  We were able to increase that awareness around supporting your team members, making sure that

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:22.819
SPEAKER_00:  you had your head in the right space and were fit for duty, being mindful of other distractions,

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:28.579
SPEAKER_00:  avoiding complacency and reminding folks that they did have the right and the obligation to

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:34.099
SPEAKER_00:  stop work if the conditions changed or hazard presented itself. Question?

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:40.179
SPEAKER_11:  What do you think might cause people in the third quarter to just double the incidents?

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:45.700
Unknown:  That's a really good question. One thing that we did here after the fact too was

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:51.939
SPEAKER_00:  often the increase in temperatures over the summer months. We have longer daylight hours,

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:56.980
SPEAKER_00:  hotter temperatures can increase the likelihood that these incidents could occur.

00:17:56.980 --> 00:18:04.180
Unknown:  Oh, like heat stress and so forth. Or just increased fatigue from working longer shifts

00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:13.299
SPEAKER_00:  day over day in hot temperatures. Thank you. Okay. The second objective of SD6 is to ensure

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:17.620
SPEAKER_00:  our employees receive quality care so that they can return to work quickly if they are injured on

00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:23.619
SPEAKER_00:  the job. Safety partners with integrated disability management or IDM to ensure that

00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:29.379
SPEAKER_00:  quality care is provided to employees if they happen to be injured at work. In 2025, we

00:18:29.379 --> 00:18:36.500
SPEAKER_00:  transitioned to a new telemed service which allows employees to receive triage support 24 hours a day,

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:44.259
SPEAKER_00:  seven days a week. We continue to have reduction in indemnity benefits over the last five years

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:51.940
SPEAKER_00:  as presented in the table here. While the number of claims in 2025 and the number of incidents per

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:58.980
SPEAKER_00:  100 employees increased a little bit over 2024, the cost or the rates per $100 of payroll

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:10.339
SPEAKER_00:  was reduced to 40 cents. This points to a variety of factors, including, again, the fact that the

00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:15.059
SPEAKER_00:  injuries our employees are experiencing are less severe and so they don't have to be away from work

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:20.659
SPEAKER_00:  as long as they might have previously. I also want to point out we received this report in

00:19:21.699 --> 00:19:28.899
SPEAKER_00:  September and it reports out on data from July 2024 through June of 2025.

00:19:31.859 --> 00:19:36.419
Unknown:  Question? Real quick, Emily, when I first saw this slide, I took it to mean

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:44.259
SPEAKER_15:  that because I was reading it wrong, apparently, but the 40 cents was reflective of more

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:51.860
SPEAKER_15:  people hours worked. Is that not correct? That's not correct. It's based off of the

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:58.820
SPEAKER_00:  reflective of the cost that we spend to support the employees by providing the time away.

00:19:58.820 --> 00:20:04.500
SPEAKER_00:  Okay. So the incident per 100 employees is up a little bit, the number of claims up a little bit,

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:07.380
SPEAKER_15:  but the cost of those incidents is up. Got you. Thank you.

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:08.099
SPEAKER_15:  Yes. Thank you.

00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:16.259
Unknown:  Okay. The third objective under SD6 is supporting our contractors to reduce potential hazards when

00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:22.259
SPEAKER_00:  they're supporting us in performing high risk work. We continue to use the international suppliers

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:30.819
SPEAKER_00:  net world or ISN to verify contractor qualifications. We're able to evaluate

00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:36.419
SPEAKER_00:  their safety records and performance. We take a look at contractor fatality history,

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:47.379
SPEAKER_00:  OSHA citation history, DART and total recordable incident rates, safety culture questions, and their

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:54.019
SPEAKER_00:  safety program review. And we currently have 174 contractors in the system. The second half of this

00:20:54.019 --> 00:21:00.500
SPEAKER_00:  year we were also able to expand our use of that tool. We're able to track individual contractor

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:05.059
SPEAKER_00:  employees and the training that they've received so we can ensure that they're receiving the same

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:09.619
SPEAKER_00:  training our SMUD employees are. And we have found this to be specifically helpful as it relates to

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:14.819
SPEAKER_00:  substation entry training, UARP training, and veg management onboarding.

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:21.859
Unknown:  We continue to conduct a lot of site visits to validate the safety performance of these

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:29.299
SPEAKER_00:  contractors. We had over 500 visits in 2025. That was over the entire year. And we had a target of

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:34.500
SPEAKER_00:  250. So definitely exceeded that target. And also increased the target for 2026.

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:43.220
SPEAKER_00:  And these visits focus on the contractors that are supporting business units such as PowerGen,

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:48.740
SPEAKER_00:  line, substation, facilities, vegetation management, and environmental services,

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:56.899
SPEAKER_00:  again, supporting us with high risk work. The last two objectives under SD6 are in support

00:21:57.220 --> 00:22:02.580
SPEAKER_00:  of the public and community safety. We focus on tracking public incidents and injuries that result

00:22:02.580 --> 00:22:08.019
SPEAKER_00:  from our operations or our equipment and seek to find ways to reduce those incidents and injuries.

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:14.340
Unknown:  Our public safety team was able to attend a variety of public events throughout the community.

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:21.780
SPEAKER_00:  And then we've also began preparing materials for first responders that is available on our

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:28.019
SPEAKER_00:  SMUD safety.com website, including information for them on how to respond to

00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:34.019
SPEAKER_00:  incidents that may occur at a solar facility or battery storage facility. So a great resource for

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:39.460
SPEAKER_00:  our first responders in the community. Specific to our public safety statistics,

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:46.740
SPEAKER_00:  we had I'm sorry, there's a typo there. We had 235 incidents where a member of the public struck

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:52.099
SPEAKER_00:  a SMUD asset with a vehicle. And there were four fatalities from those events. Three of those

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:56.740
SPEAKER_00:  occurred in the second half of the year. There were three electrical contacts. Those are all

00:22:56.740 --> 00:23:02.819
SPEAKER_00:  from the first half of the year. And then we had 84 dig-ins with no reported incidents.

00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:07.940
SPEAKER_00:  In response to those dig-ins, our public safety team sends out notification letters to the

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:13.620
SPEAKER_00:  contractors and customers that cause the dig-ins to provide them with additional information and

00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:19.459
SPEAKER_00:  make sure we prevent any future reoccurrence. And then there were no incidents or escalations

00:23:19.459 --> 00:23:28.339
SPEAKER_00:  as in response to those letters. The vehicle to asset collision. So basically when people drive

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:34.739
SPEAKER_11:  into our stuff. So there's four people who died this year doing that. In 2025. And I think wasn't

00:23:34.739 --> 00:23:41.939
SPEAKER_11:  it much higher in prior years? I remember hearing like six or I don't know. I mean, clearly any is

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:50.019
SPEAKER_11:  just horrible. But I mean, there's only so much we can do on this stuff. And especially when

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:57.460
SPEAKER_11:  they're stationary objects. It's like outside of wrapping them in reflective tape or I don't know.

00:23:57.460 --> 00:24:03.779
SPEAKER_11:  Is there anything else we can do on those that to prevent them? We do have a ‑‑ I know we have a

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:09.380
SPEAKER_11:  big campaign, a PR campaign. Very good. Yeah. There's a committee that is looking at that

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:15.620
SPEAKER_00:  internally at SMUD. We've looked at measures in the past to try to address or prevent those types

00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:20.900
SPEAKER_00:  of accidents from occurring. And there isn't any tools that we're using right now or looking to

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:27.460
SPEAKER_00:  use right now. But we'll continue to review options moving forward. Do we work with the police to find

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:32.740
SPEAKER_00:  out why people have driven into our polls? Yeah. There is an investigation so we can determine

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:37.620
SPEAKER_00:  the cause of the accident and what other extenuating circumstances might have been.

00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:41.859
SPEAKER_11:  Okay. Because that might help us figure out if there's something else we can do.

00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:47.379
SPEAKER_11:  Absolutely. It's just really sad. And then the dig ins we tell people all the time and we have

00:24:47.379 --> 00:24:51.299
SPEAKER_11:  all kinds of ads up about don't dig, call before you dig and all that. I don't know what else we

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:57.379
SPEAKER_11:  can do there either. Right. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Just that regular outreach in campaigning that we provide.

00:25:00.179 --> 00:25:04.579
Unknown:  Okay. And then on our last slide, there's a lot of data on here, a lot of information about the

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:09.539
SPEAKER_00:  programs we have as part of our safety for life program. Tonight I'm only going to focus on two

00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:16.579
SPEAKER_00:  of them. Our field ergonomics program that I want to speak to first. In August we were able to launch

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:23.059
SPEAKER_00:  a new field industrial ergonomic contract with BRIOTICS Health marking a major step in reducing

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:29.299
SPEAKER_00:  soft tissue injuries and improving employee well-being. The onboarding process was a success

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:35.859
SPEAKER_00:  setting the foundation for strong collaboration and effective service delivery. BRIOTICS has

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:41.940
SPEAKER_00:  engaged with crews and the leadership through meet and greets at safety meetings, also one-on-one

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:48.180
SPEAKER_00:  assessments and evaluations and site visits for job task reviews resulting in actionable

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:54.740
SPEAKER_00:  recommendations for tools, equipment and improved body mechanics. Second, I want to highlight our

00:25:54.740 --> 00:26:02.579
SPEAKER_00:  scorch program, our safely conducted observations reduce common hazards. We had a lot of positive

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:10.740
SPEAKER_00:  interactions in the second half of the year. Over 2400 office observations occurred. The top

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:15.620
SPEAKER_00:  safe observed behavior was good neck and head posture. And employees noted working with their

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:20.980
SPEAKER_00:  colleagues to make sure they had the right monitor height and distance setting. The top at-risk

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:26.980
SPEAKER_00:  behavior for that group was the hips, legs and feet posture. A lot of that was tied to not having

00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:32.740
SPEAKER_00:  their chair set up correctly. So the team raised awareness around cumulative trauma from not

00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:40.500
SPEAKER_00:  sitting straight. I see everybody sitting up straight in their seats here. Just the cumulative

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:46.819
SPEAKER_00:  trauma and stress that can be placed on our tendons and joints over us from that behavior as a way to

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:53.299
SPEAKER_00:  reduce it. We had over 1,000 observations of our field forces in the second half of the year.

00:26:54.500 --> 00:27:00.419
SPEAKER_00:  And the two top safe observed behaviors were hand protection to minimize exposure to injury

00:27:00.419 --> 00:27:07.379
SPEAKER_00:  and communication. Planning for success minimizing exposures to those hazards. The top at-risk

00:27:07.379 --> 00:27:14.099
SPEAKER_00:  behaviors were having tail boards, particularly after lunch. So they put out an initiative to

00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:21.699
SPEAKER_00:  ensure that regroup after the lunch break. And then the second at-risk behavior was having the

00:27:21.699 --> 00:27:28.740
SPEAKER_00:  proper protection for eyes, face and skin. And so the team committed to using that proper protection

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:35.939
SPEAKER_00:  and adding extra backup pair of safety glasses so that they could prevent not having them at all.

00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:40.899
Unknown:  In addition, the second quarter of the year, the scorch team initiated its first

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:48.100
SPEAKER_00:  home driver awareness observation event. This event was intended to highlight how the scorch

00:27:48.100 --> 00:27:53.140
SPEAKER_00:  behaviors we do at work and our Smith driving tools that we use when we're driving our SMUD

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:58.420
SPEAKER_00:  vehicles translates and can be used when we're driving our vehicles at home. And that was a great

00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:03.300
SPEAKER_00:  time of year as we were approaching the end of the year. Folks are doing more traveling related to

00:28:03.300 --> 00:28:09.460
SPEAKER_00:  the holidays and other end of year celebrations. Scorch is proud of its ability to use events like

00:28:10.180 --> 00:28:16.660
SPEAKER_00:  this to display the alignment that it has with SMUD's organizational commitment to safety for

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:23.140
SPEAKER_00:  life and world-class safety. So that completes my presentation for this evening. I'm happy to take

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:29.860
SPEAKER_00:  any additional questions. Do we have some? Director Brandon. I won't ask a question, but I'll just give

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:35.380
SPEAKER_02:  some praise or excellent numbers in this report. And I'm always happy to see the scorch numbers

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:44.660
SPEAKER_02:  remain high. Thank you. Thank you. And oh, yes, Director Kurth. It's not actually a question. Thank

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:50.500
SPEAKER_05:  you for the report. I'm glad to see the numbers high too. I'd like a little more information at

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:59.140
SPEAKER_05:  some point on the car pole accident. You know, what's causing that or what the incidence is there.

00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:05.620
Unknown:  Just kind of doing the math in my head, that's, you know, at 20,000 bucks a pole, that's almost

00:29:05.620 --> 00:29:13.380
SPEAKER_05:  four and a half million bucks. That's a quarter percent of our rate. If we could figure out some

00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:19.220
SPEAKER_05:  way to reduce that, it'd be a significant savings for folks. Yes, well, I bet Frankie has some.

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:25.860
SPEAKER_04:  Frankie, we've done it at the COO. We actually, just like a vehicle being damaged, we pursue

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:31.379
SPEAKER_04:  insurance payments from those who hit our structures. So I can't tell you specifically

00:29:31.379 --> 00:29:36.099
SPEAKER_04:  what percentages. It reduces it some. Yes. Quite a bit, probably. Yes, but we'd be happy to report.

00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:42.259
SPEAKER_04:  We've had a program for years. We've done what we've done, reflective stripping. We've moved poles.

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:46.259
SPEAKER_04:  We've done all the analysis on poles that were hit multiple times in locations.

00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:52.419
SPEAKER_04:  We used to have the SpongeBob, if you remember. I remember SpongeBob. Those around the pole. So we've

00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:57.380
SPEAKER_04:  tried many ways, but the main cause, you're probably not surprised, is distracted driving.

00:29:59.140 --> 00:30:02.980
SPEAKER_04:  We can certainly possibly put together. I do remember there was a big jump when marijuana was

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:10.180
SPEAKER_05:  legalized. Yeah, I don't know the connection, but it is close to 250 events a year. Pretty consistent.

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:14.259
SPEAKER_04:  That's a huge number. So we'll be having a follow-up with additional information.

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:17.539
SPEAKER_05:  I figured you had a whole bunch of work on this. I'd like to see it. Thanks.

00:30:18.259 --> 00:30:24.180
Unknown:  I'm sorry, but also, the public campaigns we have are constant also.

00:30:26.659 --> 00:30:30.980
SPEAKER_11:  One of the things that was interesting in my day job, we found out we started seeing all these

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:35.940
SPEAKER_11:  weird canisters coming into the hazardous waste facilities. It turns out it's nitrous oxide.

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:40.740
SPEAKER_11:  And kids are literally getting them online at Amazon. They're buying them in vape stores,

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:44.500
SPEAKER_11:  tobacco stores, and they're inhaling to the point where they literally, they're driving and they

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:49.619
SPEAKER_11:  pass out. And they just drive into people and into things. And I'm just curious if we've got

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:54.259
SPEAKER_11:  any stats, if that's starting to escalate, because there's bills to ban the sale of these things.

00:30:55.460 --> 00:31:01.619
SPEAKER_11:  But there's more ways it seems to be distracted or pass out than ever before while you're driving.

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:08.099
SPEAKER_11:  And it's just, I don't know, I just think it's a lot of money, it's a lot of stress on us,

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:12.579
SPEAKER_11:  it's a lot of equipment, and people are dying. So it's something to look into. I would definitely

00:31:12.659 --> 00:31:17.220
SPEAKER_11:  support getting more information on that. President Tamayo?

00:31:18.099 --> 00:31:29.859
Unknown:  Yes. Well, first of all, I think it's great that we've exceeded our dark goal. That's really a good

00:31:29.859 --> 00:31:34.819
SPEAKER_03:  thing. And hopefully, you know, I'm looking forward to the day when it gets down to zero. I know that

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:42.899
SPEAKER_03:  that's a really hard thing to do. But I really appreciate the shape of this curve is really

00:31:42.899 --> 00:31:50.899
SPEAKER_03:  great. So I appreciate all the hard work and all the really sort of culture shift that we've managed

00:31:50.899 --> 00:32:00.179
SPEAKER_03:  to achieve over the last more than a decade. And, you know, I just think that it's a great thing

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:08.980
SPEAKER_03:  for our employees to just be in a safer place. One thing I wanted to call out, I really like the

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:16.340
SPEAKER_03:  stare at the stairwell signs. I think that's really cool. And I know that we have other things

00:32:16.340 --> 00:32:22.500
SPEAKER_03:  where, you know, encouraging people as they're walking through campus to pay attention to where

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:30.100
SPEAKER_03:  they're walking rather than what's on their phone. One thing I didn't see, and maybe I

00:32:30.179 --> 00:32:35.779
SPEAKER_03:  missed it because you covered so many different things, but we used to mention quite a bit the

00:32:37.699 --> 00:32:44.579
SPEAKER_03:  near miss, paying attention to near misses. And I'm kind of assuming we're still doing that because

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:49.299
SPEAKER_03:  it seems like it's a very valuable thing. But did you have anything to add about that?

00:32:50.099 --> 00:32:55.859
SPEAKER_00:  Absolutely. Yeah, we do. Near misses is something that we continue to track. We had 67 near misses

00:32:56.419 --> 00:33:04.419
SPEAKER_00:  incidents reported for the year for 2025. And do we have any way of measuring how

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:14.419
SPEAKER_03:  effective that's been as far as preventing, you know, the near miss from happening again? I don't

00:33:14.419 --> 00:33:19.219
SPEAKER_00:  know that we've looked at it specifically for our organization, but there is a lot of safety data out

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:25.700
SPEAKER_00:  there that shows kind of the triangle of events and the more of those near misses that you have

00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:31.380
SPEAKER_00:  correlates to fewer and fewer incidents, more serious incidents. I think Frankie has something

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:37.460
SPEAKER_00:  to add. Yes, Frankie. Yes, the reporting of near misses I think speaks to our culture.

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:43.380
SPEAKER_04:  If you feel confident actually reporting it. And also it's really important if you get to zero in

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:48.500
SPEAKER_04:  incidents, you have no incidents to examine, to review and to look at countermeasures. So the

00:33:48.579 --> 00:33:53.220
SPEAKER_04:  near misses become more and more important. But we have a very strong culture that our folks feel

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:56.819
SPEAKER_04:  very comfortable reporting, hey, this just happened to me. It's pretty impressive when a

00:33:56.819 --> 00:34:02.420
SPEAKER_04:  young apprentice steps up in a room of 200 people and speaks openly about what occurred. But from

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:07.779
SPEAKER_04:  Emily's point of view, they're also investigated by our staff. We call it a taproot process where

00:34:07.779 --> 00:34:12.900
SPEAKER_04:  we go through and we find out what was the reason for that potential near miss occurring. And then

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:18.179
SPEAKER_04:  we produce countermeasures. We don't directly correlate those countermeasures as resulting in

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:23.059
SPEAKER_04:  zero incidents. But we're getting down to the point where we're hoping to reach zero. The next part of

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:28.099
SPEAKER_04:  Emily's presentation we'll talk about asking you for approval for the goals for the next five years.

00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:38.739
Unknown:  Great. And I just also, it really struck me when I was at the East campus and I saw the sign that

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:45.460
SPEAKER_03:  says you have stop work authority. I just thought that's really cool. I think because it's right

00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:51.860
SPEAKER_03:  there in orange and white and it really kind of drove it home for me how seriously we take this.

00:34:52.579 --> 00:35:00.420
SPEAKER_03:  Thank you. Great. And Director Kurth, did you have another comment? No. Okay. Are there any other

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:07.619
SPEAKER_01:  comments? Yes. Paul Lau. Yeah. So I just want to say a big thank you to Emily, your team, and then

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:13.780
SPEAKER_07:  especially the executive team, Frankie and Farris. We really have done an excellent job in changing

00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:18.900
SPEAKER_07:  the culture of SMUD. I mean back 15 years ago, we just have 200 people, more than 200 people heard

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:24.340
SPEAKER_07:  a year and we thought that was okay when it's not okay. So this is our drive to get to zero. I mean,

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:30.180
SPEAKER_07:  I absolutely agree with President DeMaio how the thing is that we want to get to zero. And so to

00:35:30.180 --> 00:35:35.540
SPEAKER_07:  see this 90% reduction in the last decade is pretty amazing. And now we're down to the last 12.

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:41.060
Unknown:  So I really do want to say thank you. I mean, is all those things that we're doing,

00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:45.940
SPEAKER_07:  changing the culture that getting hurt is not okay. Everybody should be expected to go home,

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:49.940
SPEAKER_07:  you know, hopefully better shaped than they are coming in, but at least minimum to go home and

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:54.739
SPEAKER_07:  spend time with the family. So couldn't be more proud with the team accomplished. But I'll say

00:35:55.299 --> 00:35:59.940
SPEAKER_07:  big thank you to Frankie. I know your team has done a tremendous job in changing the culture

00:36:00.579 --> 00:36:08.900
SPEAKER_07:  over in the field. You know, to really get over that, it's okay to get hurt. Now, we want to

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:13.220
SPEAKER_07:  make sure that no one's hurt. You know, and then when there's anything possible that can actually

00:36:13.220 --> 00:36:18.900
SPEAKER_07:  put our coworkers, you know, or yourself in harm's way, you do the near miss. I think the near miss

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:24.260
SPEAKER_07:  is a huge, huge culture shift. You know, you actually see that as the more and more people we

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:28.660
SPEAKER_07:  report the near misses, our numbers start going down because now people are comfortable and say,

00:36:28.660 --> 00:36:32.260
SPEAKER_07:  I don't want to see Rosanna get hurt. I don't see my colleague here hurt. This almost happened to

00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:36.019
SPEAKER_07:  me and by the grace of God, we were able to say, you know, we do not get hurt, but we don't want

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:40.019
SPEAKER_07:  that to happen because you don't want to count on luck the next time not to get hurt. So I just

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:45.780
SPEAKER_07:  want to say thank you, Frankie. You're your team. Oh, and Director Fishman. I just want to say,

00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:52.179
SPEAKER_15:  but Paul, it seems like 2030 is a good year for setting big goals. So maybe in addition to zero

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:58.739
SPEAKER_15:  carbon, we said zero incidents by 2030. I'm just, I'm just throwing that out there. I think that's

00:36:58.739 --> 00:37:05.460
SPEAKER_01:  a good idea, Director Fishman. Well, Emily, I want to say that you and your team have done

00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:13.380
SPEAKER_01:  an exceptional job. And I want to thank Frankie because I remember the days when I worked here

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:21.619
SPEAKER_01:  when safety was just not taken seriously and you were a big part of shifting that. And so

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:30.340
SPEAKER_01:  you and your team have a great guy leading things. And with that, Director Bikini, you're done.

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:38.100
SPEAKER_01:  I'm actually up next, too. Oh, you are. So I'm going to stay here. Just make sure there's no

00:37:38.100 --> 00:37:45.460
SPEAKER_00:  comments. But before we go there, let's just see if we have any people online that would like to

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:53.059
SPEAKER_01:  make a comment. No, we do not. Okay. No virtual attendees. So now we will move on to item number

00:37:53.139 --> 00:38:05.699
SPEAKER_01:  four, which is to discuss with possible amendment governance process GP12. And here we have Emily

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:13.059
SPEAKER_01:  and Matthew. So I was actually going to present on agenda item three, which was updating language

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:22.420
SPEAKER_00:  to strategic direction six. Okay. All right. Well, this doesn't have anything about that. But,

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:28.740
SPEAKER_01:  you know, let's do it. Okay. Thank you. So as we were just discussing,

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:37.700
SPEAKER_00:  the slide here shows the current SD6 language, which had that goal of getting to 13 or fewer

00:38:37.700 --> 00:38:47.860
SPEAKER_00:  incidents by 2025. Since we met that goal, we staff are providing a proposal to update that language.

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:51.940
SPEAKER_00:  That language is shown here on this next slide. And those changes are highlighted.

00:38:52.500 --> 00:39:00.260
SPEAKER_00:  So the goal that we're going to target is zero incidents by 2030. And there were a few other

00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:08.980
SPEAKER_00:  editorial comments or changes suggested just to provide some clarity here. So walking through those

00:39:09.539 --> 00:39:18.179
SPEAKER_00:  changes, let's see. It said injury severity incidents to severe safety incidents. We also

00:39:18.179 --> 00:39:25.460
SPEAKER_00:  removed the second part of section I because it spoke to the dart labor rate ‑‑ I'm sorry,

00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:31.300
SPEAKER_00:  the dart rate as opposed to the individual darts. Under contractor safety, we were suggesting

00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:39.300
SPEAKER_00:  changing the ‑‑ to the plural facilities to align with the sentence structure and then update

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:45.220
SPEAKER_00:  the language under public safety to mention incidents involved as opposed to reporting

00:39:45.220 --> 00:39:50.420
SPEAKER_00:  injuries to the public. So just some opportunities to clarify the language and again focus on

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:58.580
SPEAKER_00:  trying to get to zero darts by 2030. Looks good to me. How does the rest of the board feel?

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:08.260
Unknown:  Okay. Looks like it's good. Thank you. Now you really can leave.

00:40:11.300 --> 00:40:19.860
Unknown:  Do we have any comments from virtual attendees? Okay. And now is item number four. And it is to

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:28.660
SPEAKER_01:  discuss with possible amendment governance process GP12 board compensation and benefits.

00:40:29.299 --> 00:40:36.980
SPEAKER_01:  And our presenter is Matthew Powell, the interim director of people, services, and strategies.

00:40:38.019 --> 00:40:42.659
Unknown:  Thank you, Chairman Herber. My name is Matthew Powell. I'm interim director of people,

00:40:42.659 --> 00:40:49.299
SPEAKER_14:  services, and strategies. My role this evening is to share and present a little bit of an overview

00:40:49.299 --> 00:40:54.420
SPEAKER_14:  of the GP12, governance process 12, which is governing board compensation and benefits.

00:40:55.220 --> 00:40:58.980
SPEAKER_14:  Following my presentation, I'll be turning it back over to President Tamayo who will

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:10.180
SPEAKER_14:  for the discussion of this by the board at that. So GP12 covers board benefits and compensation.

00:41:10.180 --> 00:41:14.900
SPEAKER_14:  And it requires the board to review this compensation on an annual basis. I want

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:22.340
SPEAKER_14:  to call out a specific section from the MUD Act, 11908.1. And this says that the board may adjust

00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:28.900
SPEAKER_14:  compensation by no more than 5% for each calendar year following the operative date of the last

00:41:28.900 --> 00:41:33.940
SPEAKER_14:  adjustment. So for this year, that means that there's the ability to increase the amount

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:43.220
SPEAKER_14:  no greater than $341 for each daily event. Or per day, I should say. It also states that the

00:41:43.220 --> 00:41:48.980
SPEAKER_14:  board is prohibited from automatically adjusting compensation every year. And for context, last

00:41:49.059 --> 00:41:58.900
SPEAKER_14:  year the board did do an update in July of 2025 to $325 per event up from $317, which was approximately

00:41:58.900 --> 00:42:09.380
SPEAKER_14:  a 3.1% increase from the previous year. On this slide, we have a couple of tables that just show

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:14.900
SPEAKER_14:  what are some options for the board's consideration. The first one, of course, is the 5% maximum,

00:42:14.900 --> 00:42:23.539
SPEAKER_14:  which would be bringing that up from $325 at the current rate to $341 for 2026. And the other one

00:42:23.539 --> 00:42:32.900
SPEAKER_14:  is based on CPI for 2025, which is based on the December CPI rate, which was 2.7%. So that would

00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:42.660
SPEAKER_14:  be bringing it up to $334 per event. Now, of course, the board can also choose any amount up to the max

00:42:42.659 --> 00:42:49.379
SPEAKER_14:  of that $341, the 5%, that they choose to do as long as they don't go above that amount.

00:42:50.420 --> 00:42:55.940
SPEAKER_14:  A couple of other notes. Any changes will be effective July 1st of 2026, which would be that

00:42:55.940 --> 00:43:01.379
SPEAKER_14:  one full year from the previous change. And any change would be placed on the consent calendar at

00:43:01.379 --> 00:43:09.219
SPEAKER_14:  an upcoming board meeting for a vote as well to approve. So at this point, unless any questions,

00:43:09.219 --> 00:43:12.899
SPEAKER_14:  I'll turn it over to President Tumayo for discussion and conversation.

00:43:14.099 --> 00:43:23.779
Unknown:  Okay. So first, I'll just invite comments from the board members as to where you stand on this.

00:43:23.779 --> 00:43:33.059
SPEAKER_03:  Director Herbert. Yeah. For me, I think that, you know, a raise is justified. I know

00:43:33.779 --> 00:43:44.179
SPEAKER_01:  he's showing up there 5% as the top, but I'm thinking, you know, 4% is basically

00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:52.900
SPEAKER_01:  what we're going to be giving a lot of our employees. So my feeling is 4% would be good.

00:43:52.900 --> 00:44:04.740
SPEAKER_01:  Director, this is it. I know we're trying to keep pace, you know, do something on a fairly

00:44:04.740 --> 00:44:09.539
SPEAKER_15:  regular basis so that we don't have some huge increase down the line. That makes sense to me.

00:44:09.539 --> 00:44:15.700
SPEAKER_15:  By the same token, I'm not sure that we need to do it every year. And I'm perfectly happy leaving

00:44:15.700 --> 00:44:22.019
SPEAKER_15:  things where they are, revisiting next year, and, you know, at that point saying, okay, maybe we go

00:44:22.019 --> 00:44:26.739
SPEAKER_15:  up to, you know, pick a number, whatever the number is. I just don't think we need to do it

00:44:26.739 --> 00:44:31.619
SPEAKER_15:  every year. And I would prefer not to do it this year, frankly. But just me.

00:44:33.460 --> 00:44:39.380
Unknown:  Okay. Director Sanborn. Yeah. I think when I first got on the board,

00:44:39.380 --> 00:44:46.579
SPEAKER_11:  hadn't done it quite a while. It was a very big difference from previous boards that had done it

00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:51.380
SPEAKER_11:  more regularly. But I do believe we should do it every year and do it usually about CPI.

00:44:51.460 --> 00:44:56.900
Unknown:  Would be my normal. But I like even numbers. So 335 sounded good. Just a $10

00:44:57.780 --> 00:45:03.140
SPEAKER_11:  of meeting. And remember, I just wanted the public to know a lot of us do multiple things in a day

00:45:03.140 --> 00:45:10.660
SPEAKER_11:  and we do many more days than 10. So this is definitely a lot of public service, too. But

00:45:10.660 --> 00:45:16.500
SPEAKER_11:  that would be where I would probably be at. Thank you. Director Rose.

00:45:17.300 --> 00:45:23.940
Unknown:  I was going to be inclined to skip this year and come back to it next year since we increased it

00:45:23.940 --> 00:45:28.900
SPEAKER_02:  less than a year ago. That's what I was thinking. And then re-evaluated then.

00:45:33.059 --> 00:45:39.619
Unknown:  Director Bowie Thompson, do you have any comment? I could skip. But I also see

00:45:39.859 --> 00:45:46.339
SPEAKER_13:  increasing small amounts. I'm more of a small amount person rather than a large amount person.

00:45:46.339 --> 00:46:00.339
SPEAKER_13:  So something closer to making something even. Like 335 or even less. 330. I do think I just

00:46:00.339 --> 00:46:06.259
SPEAKER_13:  have always been adverse to larger increases. So I could do zero or I could do a very small one.

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:14.500
SPEAKER_13:  Director Kirk. Thank you. I think this is the kind of thing that needs to be done regularly.

00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:21.860
Unknown:  Otherwise it gets too hard when it's time to catch up. And so with that, really all the numbers

00:46:21.860 --> 00:46:29.460
SPEAKER_05:  proposed, either the 2.7, the 335 or the 4%. I could support any one of those. Thanks.

00:46:29.460 --> 00:46:45.139
SPEAKER_05:  Yeah. I'm in the let's do it regularly rather than taking big jumps. Just kicking the can down

00:46:45.139 --> 00:46:53.940
SPEAKER_03:  the road. I think it's really almost embarrassing when you do like a big catch up. And I'd rather

00:46:53.940 --> 00:47:05.380
SPEAKER_03:  do something small. And I feel pretty comfortable doing the CPI amount and also leaning towards

00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:16.980
SPEAKER_03:  the mega 335 rather than stick to the 2.7. And I'd be uncomfortable doing more than the CPI.

00:47:17.460 --> 00:47:27.780
SPEAKER_03:  So I guess my sense of it is that yes, it doesn't look great if we give ourselves a 20% increase one

00:47:27.780 --> 00:47:32.820
SPEAKER_15:  year to catch up. That's not great. To me it looks just as bad if we give ourselves an annual

00:47:32.820 --> 00:47:40.420
SPEAKER_15:  rate increase. I mean, I would I guess it's six and a half dozen a year. I would prefer to just

00:47:40.420 --> 00:47:47.780
SPEAKER_15:  wait a year and then do like a we could it's 5% per year conceivably. So if we didn't do anything

00:47:47.780 --> 00:47:53.059
SPEAKER_15:  this year, next year we could conceivably go as high as a 10% increase. So we're talking about

00:47:53.059 --> 00:47:58.900
SPEAKER_15:  like a $5 increase, right? Or a $10 increase this year. I would just as soon put that off and do a

00:47:58.900 --> 00:48:03.059
SPEAKER_15:  $15 or $20 increase next year. That's just me. That's where I'm coming from.

00:48:03.059 --> 00:48:10.980
SPEAKER_15:  Director. Yes, Matt, what what would 4% be? It would be $338.

00:48:11.779 --> 00:48:17.860
Unknown:  338? Okay. I still think that's the right number because, you know,

00:48:17.860 --> 00:48:21.299
SPEAKER_01:  that's what everybody's going to be getting around here, but that's just me.

00:48:21.300 --> 00:48:36.260
SPEAKER_01:  Well, I think we have just sort of counting votes. We have four directors that would be in

00:48:36.260 --> 00:48:46.500
SPEAKER_03:  support of 2.7 or or $335. And I know that, you know, we don't have to be unanimous, but

00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:56.420
SPEAKER_03:  is there severe resistance to if we went through that? I mean, you know, so.

00:48:57.860 --> 00:49:00.579
SPEAKER_03:  No, on an increase this year. That's just where I am.

00:49:02.260 --> 00:49:08.420
Unknown:  Yeah, no. So you can do it, but I'll end up having to do it in the board meeting,

00:49:08.420 --> 00:49:11.780
SPEAKER_02:  probably on discussion calendar. I'm sorry, I couldn't.

00:49:11.780 --> 00:49:14.579
SPEAKER_03:  Probably have to do it on the discussion calendar, but it's not unanimous.

00:49:14.579 --> 00:49:29.380
SPEAKER_02:  Okay. Yeah. Well, I have a sense that we'd be able to have a motion on the discussion calendar for

00:49:31.460 --> 00:49:41.539
Unknown:  335 or 330, something like that. So. Because it's pretty clear that a couple of folks

00:49:41.539 --> 00:49:43.860
SPEAKER_03:  just don't want to do it, which is fine as well. So.

00:49:46.980 --> 00:49:52.099
SPEAKER_03:  Are we any reason not to go forward with that? Because I don't know that we're.

00:49:54.820 --> 00:49:58.019
Unknown:  Okay. All right. Thank you very much.

00:50:01.460 --> 00:50:02.980
Unknown:  Thank you, George and Paul.

00:50:02.980 --> 00:50:10.659
SPEAKER_01:  I did not receive any

00:50:15.539 --> 00:50:18.420
SPEAKER_01:  notices. Do we have anybody?

00:50:20.500 --> 00:50:21.460
Unknown:  No, no, we do not.

00:50:21.460 --> 00:50:22.500
SPEAKER_09:  Virtually.

00:50:22.500 --> 00:50:23.619
SPEAKER_09:  Yeah, no, we do not.

00:50:23.619 --> 00:50:24.579
SPEAKER_09:  We don't. Okay.

00:50:32.980 --> 00:50:40.579
Unknown:  Okay.

00:50:46.579 --> 00:50:53.059
SPEAKER_01:  13 core and key values. And so these are the.

00:50:53.460 --> 00:50:57.380
SPEAKER_01:  The answers that we've gotten.

00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:06.820
SPEAKER_01:  Five out of the seven of us filled this out. And looks like high compliance.

00:51:07.860 --> 00:51:18.900
SPEAKER_01:  This one or the GP two has four high and one medium. Does anybody want to talk about that?

00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:27.460
SPEAKER_01:  Nope. Okay. And now we're at GP four.

00:51:29.380 --> 00:51:40.660
SPEAKER_01:  And. Any comments? I don't see any. And then board agendas.

00:51:41.619 --> 00:51:48.819
Unknown:  Five of the board members felt there was high compliance. So that is good.

00:51:50.420 --> 00:52:01.379
SPEAKER_01:  GP four. Is rather long. But let's see the score is. Okay. Finally, a comment.

00:52:02.019 --> 00:52:10.420
SPEAKER_01:  Is clause H still legal and applicable given recent changes to the Brown Act?

00:52:10.420 --> 00:52:17.700
Unknown:  Could you go back to H matters not on the agenda for regular meeting will not be considered by the

00:52:17.700 --> 00:52:25.860
SPEAKER_01:  board at that meeting except upon determination by a majority of the board that emergency situation

00:52:25.860 --> 00:52:34.260
SPEAKER_01:  exists severely impairing public health and or safety or upon a determination by two thirds

00:52:34.260 --> 00:52:41.940
SPEAKER_01:  voted the board or by unanimous vote if less than two third of the members are present

00:52:41.940 --> 00:52:49.780
Unknown:  that the need to take action arose subsequent to the agenda being posted or number three as

00:52:49.780 --> 00:52:55.060
SPEAKER_01:  otherwise permitted under the Brown Act of the California Department code.

00:52:55.059 --> 00:53:04.900
SPEAKER_01:  And so the comment is, you know, are we doing that? Is it legal and applicable? And we will

00:53:04.900 --> 00:53:09.619
SPEAKER_01:  turn to our general counsel. Laura Lewis, Chief legal and government affairs officer.

00:53:09.619 --> 00:53:15.219
SPEAKER_10:  So the amendments to the Brown Act earlier this year related to one of a board member may

00:53:15.219 --> 00:53:22.019
SPEAKER_10:  participate remotely due to an emergency. This section H is still valid. It refers to

00:53:22.900 --> 00:53:26.980
Unknown:  whether the board can take action on something that has not been placed on the agenda with the

00:53:26.980 --> 00:53:34.500
SPEAKER_10:  proper 72 hours notice or 24 hours notice of special meeting. That's still valid law.

00:53:35.139 --> 00:53:42.739
Unknown:  Okay. All right. So it is still legal and applicable. It looks like the next

00:53:43.139 --> 00:53:53.139
Unknown:  one, we have high compliance, but there is a comment. And so we should take a look at it.

00:53:53.139 --> 00:53:59.779
SPEAKER_01:  We are meeting the current language in this policy, but when we invite presenters to our meetings,

00:53:59.779 --> 00:54:08.179
SPEAKER_01:  they need to provide slides that can be posted publicly on our website for viewing by the public

00:54:08.179 --> 00:54:16.259
SPEAKER_01:  prior to the meeting and after the meeting. That sounds reasonable. Any comment?

00:54:18.500 --> 00:54:26.179
Unknown:  A comment. I have been the strategic chair for, I don't know, 15 years, I feel like. And that this

00:54:26.179 --> 00:54:31.139
SPEAKER_13:  has been a sticking point with some of our presenters. And I just don't think it's fair

00:54:31.139 --> 00:54:38.819
SPEAKER_13:  to the public or to the board, really. I'm a process learner. I don't just see everything in

00:54:38.819 --> 00:54:44.739
SPEAKER_13:  front of me. And I don't think it's fair to review in public that they have to get themselves here,

00:54:45.539 --> 00:54:52.019
Unknown:  take screenshots with their, you know, I just don't think it's a good accessibility trend that

00:54:52.019 --> 00:54:57.940
SPEAKER_13:  we've had that we've had speakers say, well, it's proprietary. Don't present. Like, if we can't post

00:54:57.940 --> 00:55:03.460
SPEAKER_13:  it and we can't have people be able to review it before, during, and after, then they need to

00:55:03.460 --> 00:55:08.659
SPEAKER_13:  change their message because it's not a closed session. So I just get a lot of pushback from

00:55:08.659 --> 00:55:12.579
SPEAKER_13:  staff on this and people don't want to present. Well, then you need to find different speakers or

00:55:12.579 --> 00:55:16.019
SPEAKER_13:  they need to present something else. It's just very strange that they're willing to

00:55:17.059 --> 00:55:23.380
SPEAKER_13:  come to our meeting but don't want us to store their presentations for people who can't attend,

00:55:23.380 --> 00:55:29.380
SPEAKER_13:  for whatever reason, or just want to process the information like myself later. And I don't think

00:55:29.380 --> 00:55:34.260
SPEAKER_13:  it just should be for the board. I think we have these meetings a lot for the public to get

00:55:34.260 --> 00:55:41.460
SPEAKER_13:  educated and to know what's going on. And it's been, I don't want to say it's battle, but it has

00:55:41.460 --> 00:55:48.579
SPEAKER_13:  been quite frustrating for me that we continually have these requests from speakers to not post

00:55:49.139 --> 00:55:57.539
SPEAKER_13:  their slides. So that's... Point well taken. Yeah, I agree. I agree too, because that's,

00:55:57.539 --> 00:56:02.019
SPEAKER_11:  to me, the radical transparency stuff. This is for people that have been invited to come and make a

00:56:02.019 --> 00:56:06.340
SPEAKER_15:  presentation, not just somebody who shows up once they're three minutes. People that know months in

00:56:06.340 --> 00:56:10.739
SPEAKER_13:  advance that they're speaking. I have one speaker who was invited that he couldn't get us their

00:56:10.739 --> 00:56:16.739
SPEAKER_13:  slides to like the Friday before. And that just shows someone that's not prepared. A, and B,

00:56:17.299 --> 00:56:23.699
SPEAKER_13:  doing, having a shroud of its proprietary. I think they were just not prepared and using

00:56:23.699 --> 00:56:30.739
SPEAKER_13:  some excuses. So I just think we should enforce timelines of submitting slides. They know well in

00:56:30.739 --> 00:56:36.259
SPEAKER_13:  advance that they're coming and that there is a vetting process by both the chair and the staff,

00:56:36.259 --> 00:56:41.779
SPEAKER_13:  right? And that the board, I do like to review the stuff before. I don't like showing up

00:56:42.260 --> 00:56:50.740
Unknown:  just from a personal time standpoint. And then for the public, I would like it to be posted.

00:56:52.420 --> 00:56:59.140
SPEAKER_01:  Does there need to be language changed? I don't know. I've been asking it for over a decade and

00:56:59.140 --> 00:57:04.019
SPEAKER_13:  it hasn't changed. So that's why I put it in here. So if we can get some consensus, it's just,

00:57:04.019 --> 00:57:10.420
SPEAKER_13:  I've asked and asked and asked. And so I wouldn't typically, me, I think I've only commented three

00:57:10.420 --> 00:57:17.059
SPEAKER_13:  times in 19 years, but nothing has changed. So does it need to be in here? I don't know.

00:57:17.059 --> 00:57:22.500
SPEAKER_13:  But maybe now that you all hear me in public, you know, we can address this in a different way. But

00:57:22.500 --> 00:57:29.860
SPEAKER_13:  it just me asking staff and the CEO has not changed anything. Okay. Heidi.

00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:34.900
SPEAKER_11:  Well, I'm just thinking, do we ask Paul for suggestion on this? And Laura to look at how

00:57:34.900 --> 00:57:39.059
SPEAKER_11:  do we address this? Because I think it looks like we all kind of agree that if we have public

00:57:39.059 --> 00:57:44.659
SPEAKER_11:  speakers coming, we should have these sites in advance and they should be posted. Is there some

00:57:44.659 --> 00:57:50.179
SPEAKER_11:  reason we can't do that? Or would we change this policy? Where's the right place to do this?

00:57:54.099 --> 00:57:59.940
Unknown:  Maybe they can think about it. But the staff have heard us, right? So.

00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:04.259
SPEAKER_01:  Yeah. I mean, I think it's clear. Paul, do you want to say something?

00:58:04.259 --> 00:58:07.860
SPEAKER_01:  Yeah. I mean, I think what it is is that we have a discussion before.

00:58:07.940 --> 00:58:14.180
SPEAKER_07:  And I think 99% of the time, I think the presentation, people making presentations,

00:58:14.180 --> 00:58:19.700
SPEAKER_07:  actually, the slide will be there before. And we had discussion before about this. There are some

00:58:20.500 --> 00:58:24.500
Unknown:  presenters in the past that actually had said, okay, well, you know what? I'm not ready to get

00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:29.700
SPEAKER_07:  the slide or not get it for the week in advance. But I think we've worked through most of those.

00:58:29.700 --> 00:58:36.500
SPEAKER_07:  So I guess what it is is that at least for the last couple of times, I remember is that we actually

00:58:36.500 --> 00:58:42.019
SPEAKER_07:  did that when the presenter said, I couldn't get the slide in time before the pre-brief.

00:58:42.019 --> 00:58:50.099
SPEAKER_07:  I think we've actually complied. But I do have one case that I remember is about economic forecasts.

00:58:50.099 --> 00:58:55.219
SPEAKER_07:  That, you know, whether they chose to do it or not, because they didn't really want the slide that

00:58:55.219 --> 00:58:59.619
SPEAKER_07:  they thought was they wanted, they won't mind coming in and talk about their specific

00:59:00.739 --> 00:59:05.539
SPEAKER_07:  reason what the economic forecast is going to be. And they didn't want it to be public until

00:59:05.539 --> 00:59:09.059
SPEAKER_07:  they actually get here to present to the board. I think that's the only time I remember

00:59:09.059 --> 00:59:12.820
SPEAKER_07:  that we couldn't get the slide ahead of time. So I guess we can certainly look at,

00:59:13.779 --> 00:59:19.059
SPEAKER_07:  I don't know how in a sense is that are you going to put it in the policy piece that we would

00:59:19.059 --> 00:59:22.980
SPEAKER_07:  actually always have the slides or else there will be no presentation. I guess that's one way to fix

00:59:22.980 --> 00:59:28.659
SPEAKER_07:  it, that you would always have the slide, you know, at the before the pre-brief. If there's

00:59:28.659 --> 00:59:34.900
SPEAKER_07:  a for if it is the outside presenter before they present, that you want the slide to be available

00:59:34.900 --> 00:59:40.740
SPEAKER_07:  for the chair to review. It's primarily for the public. So in that situation you did get it to

00:59:40.740 --> 00:59:45.380
SPEAKER_13:  the board the Friday before. Yes. But you didn't post it to the public. And so that was the

00:59:45.380 --> 00:59:51.139
SPEAKER_13:  compromise that I made because I personally wanted to see it, but we never posted it prior for the

00:59:51.139 --> 00:59:56.900
SPEAKER_13:  public. So it's more for the my issues, the public. I mean, I think we're a convenience for the rest

00:59:57.619 --> 01:00:05.220
SPEAKER_13:  of us to get it before. For the public is that I feel like it's a not negotiable if at least after

01:00:05.220 --> 01:00:09.780
SPEAKER_13:  they present it to the board, just okay, some people get sick or whatever, but after they

01:00:11.059 --> 01:00:17.619
SPEAKER_13:  present it should be posted. Yeah, I don't, I can't remember, maybe my memory's failing. I don't

01:00:17.619 --> 01:00:23.460
SPEAKER_07:  remember actually after we present it, it's not available for posting. I think we did actually

01:00:23.780 --> 01:00:28.099
SPEAKER_07:  have one case if I remember that they want, they don't want to be ahead

01:00:29.300 --> 01:00:33.059
SPEAKER_07:  of their presentation because they didn't want the slide to be taken out of context.

01:00:33.059 --> 01:00:42.659
SPEAKER_07:  So how about we actually want to go forward, you know, and so I mean, Nancy, question for you,

01:00:42.659 --> 01:00:50.740
SPEAKER_01:  do you want this in writing here or are you willing to include that question as we're

01:00:50.739 --> 01:00:57.619
SPEAKER_01:  interviewing our next general manager? I'm teasing, but you know, I don't know who the

01:00:58.419 --> 01:01:05.859
SPEAKER_01:  exec is that looks over the strategy committee, but that's usually where the PowerPoints are.

01:01:05.859 --> 01:01:09.619
Unknown:  No, I think this is with any any presentation. So it's not just, well, yeah,

01:01:09.619 --> 01:01:14.099
SPEAKER_07:  not just strategic committee. So we post all pretty much all presentations.

01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:21.299
SPEAKER_07:  Can I make a suggestion? First of all, maybe we should get Eric involved in actually writing

01:01:21.299 --> 01:01:28.259
SPEAKER_15:  the language, but something to the effect of, you know, we want presentations from the public

01:01:28.900 --> 01:01:34.019
SPEAKER_15:  under these circumstances, people that have been invited to present, you know, a minimum of, you

01:01:34.019 --> 01:01:38.819
SPEAKER_15:  know, however many days ahead of the meeting as required for the pre-brief or whatever,

01:01:38.819 --> 01:01:43.059
SPEAKER_15:  and that they will be posted at the same time as the rest of the documents for that meeting.

01:01:43.699 --> 01:01:48.820
Unknown:  At the discretion of the chair of the committee, if there's somebody says, look, I'm presenting

01:01:49.460 --> 01:01:52.980
SPEAKER_15:  information that I want embargoed until the meeting or something like that, we can do that,

01:01:52.980 --> 01:01:57.940
SPEAKER_15:  and then but then it gets posted afterwards. But if but I don't want anybody coming in saying,

01:01:57.940 --> 01:02:02.099
SPEAKER_15:  well, I'm going to present to them to you, but I'm not going to I don't want you to post my slides

01:02:02.099 --> 01:02:05.779
SPEAKER_15:  ever. I mean, that's ridiculous, because our meetings are open in public and

01:02:06.019 --> 01:02:13.620
SPEAKER_15:  it so so they need to be posted at some point, preferably ahead of time, if they can't be ahead

01:02:13.620 --> 01:02:18.100
SPEAKER_15:  of time at the discretion of the of the committee chair, they can post them that they can deliver

01:02:18.100 --> 01:02:23.940
SPEAKER_15:  them up to the, you know, the day that they're going to be presented. So I've got a suggestion.

01:02:24.660 --> 01:02:31.940
SPEAKER_03:  I think I think it ought to be just posted. They should be available at the pre-brief.

01:02:31.940 --> 01:02:37.139
SPEAKER_03:  I don't think you need to have a subsequent decision on the chair needs to make. I mean,

01:02:37.139 --> 01:02:44.099
SPEAKER_03:  things happen like that all the time. You know, whenever anybody's doing a presentation,

01:02:44.099 --> 01:02:49.300
SPEAKER_03:  things come up. And why put it on the chair? It's like, we're not going to say, no, you can't do your

01:02:49.300 --> 01:02:54.740
SPEAKER_03:  presentation because we've already got them scheduled. So why make it another decision? So

01:02:54.739 --> 01:03:02.419
SPEAKER_03:  but I do think that that if somebody is going to be presenting to us publicly and trying to

01:03:02.979 --> 01:03:08.339
SPEAKER_03:  and there may be circumstances where they're trying to convince us to think a certain way,

01:03:09.699 --> 01:03:16.979
SPEAKER_03:  that definitely should be something that that is made available to the public as part of the

01:03:16.979 --> 01:03:22.979
SPEAKER_03:  record of our meeting. And I don't think we should ever accept somebody making a presentation that

01:03:22.980 --> 01:03:32.260
SPEAKER_03:  says, no, I'm sorry, you can't make this as part of your record. Yeah. Yeah.

01:03:35.940 --> 01:03:43.380
Unknown:  So what is what is the outcome here? Well, I think we should ask Eric to come in and

01:03:44.260 --> 01:03:50.820
SPEAKER_15:  look at this and we can have give him some direction on what we what this discussion was,

01:03:50.820 --> 01:03:56.420
SPEAKER_15:  ask him to listen to the recording if he needs to. He will. And come back with some language.

01:03:57.140 --> 01:04:02.260
Unknown:  Okay, great. Well, then let's go on to GP 13.

01:04:05.620 --> 01:04:14.900
Unknown:  And that is five high five. So anybody want to make any comments? Seeing none. I think that is

01:04:14.900 --> 01:04:22.180
SPEAKER_01:  the end. Do we have any people in public who want to speak? Not here. But how about virtually?

01:04:28.420 --> 01:04:36.579
Unknown:  No, you're not. Okay, great. Well, then I'm now going to turn this over to our president,

01:04:37.700 --> 01:04:40.180
SPEAKER_01:  Dave Tamayo to talk about the work plan.

01:04:44.900 --> 01:05:06.500
Unknown:  I'm going to be out of town on the 12th of the strategic committee, so I'll be online.

01:05:06.500 --> 01:05:15.539
SPEAKER_11:  Just so you know. May 12th. Yeah, I'll be back in Michigan for me.

01:05:20.980 --> 01:05:24.099
Unknown:  Urban update coming up next next week.

01:05:26.820 --> 01:05:34.659
Unknown:  We're I don't really have anything pulled out on here. So I did want to mention that

01:05:35.460 --> 01:05:42.980
SPEAKER_03:  I will be missing the committee meeting next Tuesday. So you guys will have to carry on without

01:05:42.980 --> 01:05:54.420
SPEAKER_03:  me. And we've got the resource adequacy and summer readiness coming up on May 12th, which I think

01:05:54.420 --> 01:06:03.940
SPEAKER_03:  that one's always very interesting. And I'm going to be missing that particular meeting because

01:06:03.940 --> 01:06:11.860
SPEAKER_03:  I'll be at the CCA conference. That got switched. I think you're looking at an old

01:06:14.900 --> 01:06:21.940
SPEAKER_12:  older document on the May 12th. Oh, okay. It's not resource adequacy.

01:06:23.380 --> 01:06:30.740
SPEAKER_03:  That's under the end. Okay. So when is that going to be? That's now in June, June 9th.

01:06:30.739 --> 01:06:36.019
SPEAKER_03:  Okay. I do remember that message. Yeah, on May 12th, we're doing the Upper American River,

01:06:36.019 --> 01:06:42.179
