RECOMMENDATION(S):

REFER to the Internal Operations Committee and review of the County's PACE program operating agreement for possible amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the County's participation in PACE (property assessed clean energy) financing programs and directed the Department of Conservation and Development to implement an application process to enable PACE financing providers to apply to operate PACE programs in Contra Costa County. PACE providers have subsequently raised concerns about the form of the County's operating agreement and related PACE policies. I am recommending that the PACE operating agreement be referred to the Internal Operations Committee in order to provide an opportunity for these concerns to be re-examined in the context of the Board's goals for this program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board elect not to refer this matter to its committee, the County's PACE program will be implemented with the operating agreement and policies that were approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 16, 2015.
