[1. Call The Meeting To Order - Mayor Jeff Gore]
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.THIS IS THE HEBREW HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
UH, TODAY'S DATE IS JUNE 29TH, 2022.
WE'RE GETTING STARTED RIGHT AT 5:30 PM.
UH, THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER.
UH, IF YOU WOULD, MR. ROGERS, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
MRS. BERG, MR. OTTO HERE, MR. LYONS, MRS. KITCHEN HERE, MR. WEBB HERE,
[ A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Accept An Electric Supplier For The Electricity Aggregation Program. (first reading)]
HERE.AND NEXT UP IS NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS NEW BUSINESS UNDER ITEM THREE, A TONY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ITEM THREE, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT AN ELECTRIC SUPPLIER FOR THE ELECTRICITY AGGREGATION PROGRAM AT THE FIRST STREET.
AND I WOULD CALL ON OUR ETHICS TO THE MANAGER IS K NICELY.
THIS ITEM IS TO DISCUSS ELECTRIC AGGREGATION CONTRACT FOR THE CITY'S ENERGY AGGREGATION PROGRAM PROVIDED BY OUR CONSULTANT ENERGY ALLIANCE.
SO FIRST OF ALL, I'M JUST GOING TO GO TO JERRY FOR COMMENT.
I KNOW YOU WERE, UM, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONTRACT ISSUES OR NOT ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACT ITSELF, UH, AT OUR LAST MEETING, UH, YOU WERE KIND OF DIRECTED TO HANDLE THAT.
YES, I'M A RICH WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GET ME A CONTRACT, UM, THAT I REVIEWED, UM, AND HELPED ME UNDERSTAND IT.
AND THERE WAS A FORM CONTRACT THAT THEY USED WITH ALL THEIR PEOPLE.
AND SO THERE WERE SOME PROVISIONS IN THERE THAT WERE NOT APPLICABLE TO US AT ALL, WHICH THREW ME FOR A LOOP BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MEANT.
AND I HAD TO CALL RICH AND SAY, WHAT'S THIS THERE FOR? AND WE GOT THOSE TAKEN OUT.
SO IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS IN THE NEW VERSION NOW, UM, FOR THESE TYPES OF CONTRACTS, ONLY COMMA, THIS GOES ON, UM, THEY WERE GOOD TO WORK WITH.
WE HAD SOME GREAT CHANGES THAT ARE NOT IN THE COPY YOU HAD.
SO WE'LL GET THAT FIXED TOMORROW.
UH, THERE WAS ONLY ONE SECTION, UM, SECTION 4.3, WHICH HAS A VERY GOOD PROVISION, WHICH SAYS IF THEY FAILED TO PERFORM AND THE CITIZEN HAS TO PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO GET ENERGY, THEY HAVE TO REIMBURSE THEM FOR THE DIFFERENCE TYPE OF THING, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
BUT THEN IT HAS ALL THIS LIMITING LANGUAGE THAT I WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH.
THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE CONTRACT THAT THEY THINK, BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO SAY, THE CITY HAS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE IF THEY DO THAT TOO MUCH.
AND SO THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE CONTRACT, I GOT THE CONTRACT PRETTY LATE TODAY.
I THINK IT WORKS, BUT I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON IT A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE MORNING TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS.
UM, THE LEGISLATION SAYS THAT IT'S, KATIE IS AUTHORIZED TO SIGN IT SUBSTANTIALLY IN THAT FORM, SO WE WILL BE FIXED AND IT WILL BE FIXED BY TOMORROW.
LIKE I SAID, THEY WERE VERY, UM, THEY'RE EASY TO WORK WITH AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE, THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT FIXED.
UM, SO THE CONTRACT, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE FINE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
SO THE ONLY ISSUE REALLY IS THE PRICE AND DETERMINED THAT'S WHERE, WHICH COMPANY, IF YOU WOULD GIVE US SOME GOOD THINGS, MAN.
UH, SO THE FINAL PRICE WAS 8.59 SENTENCE.
SO THAT WAS ABOUT ANOTHER 2% FROM WHERE WE WERE.
SO THE, UH, THE ALL ELECTRIC HOMES, THEY, THEY MOVED TO ABOUT A 7% SAVINGS AND THEN THE NON ALL ELECTRIC HOMES, UH, MOVED TO ABOUT A 21% SAVINGS REALLY THROUGH AT LEAST FROM WHAT WE KNOW THROUGH NEXT YEAR.
UH, AND THEN THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE MIX OF, UH, ALL ELECTRIC FIRST, NOT, UH, 25% OF THE, OF THE HOMES ARE ALL ELECTRIC.
SO 8.59 CORRECTLY VERSUS 10.9.
THAT'S THE RATE THROUGH A TALKING ON THE COMBO.
SO, SO YEAH, SO FIRST I THINK, SO JERRY HAD ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACT, RIGHT? SO DO YOU NEED TO DO ANY OTHER EXPLANATION ABOUT, UM, CAUSE I KNOW WE NEED TO DO A MOTION TO AMEND THE CONTRACT AND THEN IT, THE CONTRACT, THE LEGISLATION SAYS TO ADAPT THE CONTRACT, THAT'S ATTACHED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE FORM AND IT'S GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE FORM THAT YOU HAVE.
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY MINOR CHANGES THAT ARE NOT GOING TO IT'LL AFFECT THE CITY IN SOME WAY, BUT IN A GOOD WAY.
SO WE DON'T NEED TO AMEND THE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, EVEN IF IT'S THE ORIGINAL VERSION THAT THERE WAS IN THE CONTRACT WHEN THE PACKET WENT OUT.
WELL, LET'S SAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO THAT, TONY.
SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE AMEND THE EXHIBIT, A RED LINE, ONE THAT'S IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY WITH THE CHANGES THAT YOU HAD AS OF TODAY, AND THEN ALLOW ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE UNDER THE DISCRETION OF THE LAW DIRECTOR, UM, WHICH IS AUTHORIZED IN THE LEGISLATION, I THINK WOULD BE THE CLEANEST WAY TO DO PERFECT FRAMING.
ANY DISCUSSION ON AMENDING TONY? MR. BAKER? YES.
AND MOTION TO AMEND CARRIES SEVEN TO ZERO AND NEXT TO ANY MOTIONS OR MARK MOTION TO ADOPT FOR A SECOND.
[00:05:02]
JUST A QUICK COMMENT.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LAST MINUTE.
WORK ON THIS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? YES, NOT.
COULD WE CLARIFY FOR THE RESIDENTS, THE IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF WHAT DAY WILL THEY SEE? UM, UH, AS WE PASS THIS, UM, WHAT DATE WILL THEY SEE THE CHANGE IN THEIR BILL? SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WOULD SEE IT LISTED FIRST ON THE BILL THEY RECEIVE IN OCTOBER.
SO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF, I GUESS WE'LL TALK ABOUT TIMELINE REAL QUICK.
I GOT THE LATEST LIST FROM YESTERDAY.
I WILL GIVE THAT TO, UM, ENERGY HARBOR TOMORROW.
UH, LETTER'S LIKELY GO OUT SOMETIME, I GUESS IT WOULD BE IN JULY.
UM, ENROLLMENTS WOULD HAPPEN IN AUGUST, BUT STARTING SEPTEMBER SHOWS UP ON THE BILL IN OCTOBER.
JUST CAUSE IT GIVES US TIME TO PUT TOGETHER OUR EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE WATER BILLS.
EVERYBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING.
IT GIVES US SOME TIME TO DO THAT AS WELL WITH YOUR HELP AND WORKING WITH SARAH TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THAT PUT TOGETHER.
RICHARD, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR NO? I WAS JUST AGREEING BECAUSE WE HAD, UH, RICHARD, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
SO YOU GUYS HAVE TO HANDLE THE OPT-OUT LETTERS SO THEY WILL ALL GET A COPY OF THOSE.
I'LL GET A COPY OF THOSE FOR YOU TO REVIEW AS WELL.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, TONY? CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
MS. BAKER AND MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
IT IS 5 36 AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
