The City of Palo Alto (“City”), a municipal utility and a chartered city, is a “Preference Customer” of the Western Area Power Administration (“WAPA”) of the United States Department of Energy; and B. The City’s existing 20-year power supply contract with WAPA expires on December 31, 2024; and C. The WAPA 2025 Power Marketing Plan gave the City the right to negotiate post- 2024 contract(s) in accordance with the WAPA 2025 Power Marketing Plan; and D. The City, other WAPA customers, and WAPA have been working together to formulate the new Electric Service Base Resource Contract in accordance with the 2025 Power Marketing Plan; and E. Contract 20-SNR-02365 for Electric Service Base Resource expressly preserves the City’s option to maintain, terminate or reduce the base resource percentage up to the full generation available, a 12.06299% share, before June 30, 2024. F. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto does hereby RESOLVE as follows: SECTION 1. The Council hereby authorizes the City Manager on behalf of the City to execute the attached Contract 20-SNR-02365 for Electric Service Base Resource between the United States Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration, Sierra Nevada Region, and the City of Palo Alto (Linked Here). // // // // // DocuSign Envelope ID: 60B5BC8B-E6D8-4EB2-AEB5-56D92DAA7F21 AB10202020 2 // SECTION 2. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution regarding execution of this contract extension does not require California Environmental Quality Act review, because it does not meet the definition of a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as an administrative governmental activity which will not cause a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. WAPA’s 2025 Power Marketing Plan authorizing the contract has a Categorical Exclusion from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review since WAPA is reallocating its existing resources and is not planning to increase its generation or transmission.
