During a recent government meeting, board members discussed a range of topics, including a successful Request for Proposal (RFP) and updates on legislative affairs. The meeting began with no public comments on the agenda item, leading to a swift transition to board discussions. Board member Gary McKell praised the quality and value of the RFP, describing it as a bargain, and subsequently moved to remove the item from the agenda. The motion received unanimous support from the board members present.

Following this, the meeting shifted focus to regulatory and legislative affairs, with a joint presentation led by senior policy and legislative managers. Patrick Wells provided an update on three key legislative items, highlighting the San Diego Community Power's (SDCP) engagement with 12 pieces of legislation. As the legislative session approaches its conclusion, Wells noted that four of the supported bills have already failed, while the remaining bills are under consideration as the legislature prepares for a month-long recess.

Wells also addressed recent state budget cuts affecting energy programs, emphasizing the ongoing discussions surrounding energy affordability. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue monitoring these legislative developments as the board prepares for the final deliberations in August.
