Title

Utility Advisory Board’s Draft Energy Policy for the City of Gainesville (B)

Explanation

The City Commission and UAB met jointly on October 30, 2018, to discuss the UAB’s draft work plan.  The Board expressed the desire to focus on creation of an energy policy for the City of Gainesville and the Commission agreed. The UAB held a series of workshops to work on crafting the policy document and presented the draft to the City Commission in a joint meeting on April 23, 2019.  The Commission received the presentation and gave direction for the Board to continue their work.  The Board discussed the policy document at each of their monthly scheduled regular meetings and workshops and prepared to present the draft document to the City Commission.

Following the Board's presentation of the document at the joint UAB/City Commission meeting on October 22, 2019, the Commission gave direction to have both GRU and GG staff do an analysis of the energy policy for potential impacts on operations and bring it back for further discussion.  Staff has completed their analysis and submitted the report to the UAB for review before the Board gives another presentation to the City Commission. 

The City Commission and UAB will meet jointly on October 27, 2020 and the UAB will use this workshop to prepare and plan for the joint meeting with the City Commission.

Fiscal Note

None at this time.

Recommendation

Review energy policy draft in preparation for October 27, 2020 joint meeting with City Commission.
