BACKGROUND:

On June 6, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance and resolution to join
the Marin Energy Authority's (MCE) community choice energy/aggregation program
(CCE). CCE involves cities, counties, or a joint powers authority composed of cities
and/or counties, pooling ("aggregating") retail electricity customers for the purpose of
procuring and selling electricity. MCE's formation document specifies that the Authority
shall be governed by a Board of Directors composed of one representative of each of the
member agencies. The governing body of each member agency will appoint from its
governing body one Director and, also, one alternate who may vote on all matters when
the regular Director is absent for a Board meeting. The County's Director and Alternate
Director will serve at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors.
The MCE formation document sets no seat terms for MCE board members. The County's
appointments and their duration are completely within the discretion of the Board of
Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Supervisor Federal D. Glover will remain as the Board of Supervisors representative, and Supervisor John Gioia as the Board’s alternate representative.
