WHEREAS the California legislature has enacted AB1890 which mandates competition in the
electric utility industry, and .
WHEREAS the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued Orders 888, 889, and 888A,
which together provide open access to the nation's transmission system as a means to encourage
competition among energy suppliers and efficiency in the nation's use of electric generating
resources; and
WHEREAS Truckee Donner Public Utility District(TDPUD), on behalf of its customers, is actively
pursuing the competitive advantages available to it through this restructuring of the electric utility
industry, and
WHEREAS TDPUD, as one of its strategies, is soliciting proposals from power marketers to provide
low cost power to this District for the benefit of the customers of the District, and
WHEREAS power marketers maintain that.certain terms and conditions contained in their
proposals are proprietary and therefore require us to treat such information as confidential; and
WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the District conducts the public business in open meeting
sessions as required by the Brown Act, and the Brown Act provides no authority for the Board to
discuss power market proposals in closed session, therefore making it impractical for the Board
to receive proprietary information and maintain confidentiality; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the District that:
1. The General Manager of the District, and any District staff
authorized by the General Manager, are hereby authorized to enter
into confidentiality agreements with power marketers for the purpose
of receiving power market proposals, and negotiating the terms of a
power sales contract.
2. When the General Manager, or his designee, has reached tentative
agreement with a power marketer on the terms of a power sales
contract, the matter shall be submitted to the Board of Directors at
an open meeting conducted under authority of the Brown Act at
which time the terms and conditions of the proposed contract shall
be discussed openly and fully.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors at a meeting duly called and held within the
District on the fourth day of June 1997 by the following roll call vote:
