Receive Report Regarding Communication Pertaining to HEROES Act COVID-19
Response Package
June 3, 2020
City Clerk
RECOMMENDED ACTION Receive report regarding communication pertaining to the HEROES
Act COVID-19 response package.
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.
FISCAL IMPAGT:Not applicable
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
