BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Youth Energy Summit (YES) event is an annual activity co -

Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and Redding Electric Utility (REU).
This event is designed to educate juniors and seniors in high school regarding various energy industry
topics, such as: energy conservation, renewable energy resources, green building, utility careers,
alternative-fueledvehicles, environmental sustainability, and more. Participating students then create a
community service learning project, and ultimately vie for college scholarships, which LEU supports
through its Public Benefits Program.
LEU has managed the scholarship funds and other payments associated with the YES. Funds in this
account include: LEU Public Benefit dollars, outside business contributions, and funding from SMUD and
REU.
In an effort to streamline activities, and shift the financial accounting to the host utility, SMUD, staff is
seeking authority to transfer the balance in this account to SMUD. LEU will continue to support the YES
event, with both time and financial resources, in the months and years ahead.
Staff recommends approval of the action to transfer funds ($34,882.69) in this account to SMUD for
oversight and management of said funds.
FISCAL IMPACT: Youth Energy Summit funds will shift to SMUD's control.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
