BACKGROU ND INFORMATION:The City received a request for communication from the Northern California Power Agency regarding a letter to Representative Jerry McNerney regarding the HEROES Act COVID-19 response package. There was a need to send a letter immediately. The HEROES Act ignores the steps individual electric utilities have taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and imposes one-size-fits-all mandates on utility services that do not account for local needs or regional differences. The legislation mandates, under financial penalty for violations, that electric utilities cannot terminate or disconnect service to any customer before 120 days after the end of the federal emergency. ln addition, the legislation fails to provide federalfunds to address the very realfinancial challenges the utilities are experiencing, which will be compounded by the proposed utility service mandates. The attached letter, signed by the Mayor, was sent on May 14,2020. A copy of the initial request is also attached. This report is provided for informational purposes only, pursuant to policy.
