How did you Learn about the vacancy on the Utilities Advisory Commission? Community Group: x Palo Alto Weekly: The Daily Post: Email from City Clerk: x Librruy Bulletin Board: FlyerlBookmark: __ Other, Please Specify: Mentioned to me by the Director of Utilities 3; Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: Describe your involvement in community activities, volunteer and civic organizations: I have been intimately involved with Kara, a premier grief support organization located in Palo Alto, since 1980 I served on the board of directors from 1993-2008 and was at times secretary treasurer and president I am currently chair of the advisory committee. I have been a member of the Palo Alto Mediation Program since 2001 and have served as jts co-chair I am CUlTentlv an emeritus member I am a dues paying member of the Crescent Park Neighborhood Association. As a family, we contribute to many local organizations such as the Palo Alto Commubity Fund the PenjnSJlla Open Space Trust Boys and ('-rirIs Club of the PeninSUla and the League to name a few. In the past, I have been aT-ball coach, member of a local service club (Sertoma), seryed on the Duyeneck Site COUDcil Cub Scout den leader Worked on projects for the Stanford Graduate Alumni Consulting Team to assist local non-profit organizations to name a few. Most recently, served on City's Infrastructure Blue Ribbon Commission. 4. . What is it about the Utilities Advisory Commission that interests you? What qualities, experience and expertise would you bring to the Utilities Advisory Commission? One of the unique and outstanding aspects of Palo Alto (among many) is that we own and operate our own municipal utilities. I Was verv fortunate to work for the Utilities Department for 11 years and the City for 14 I was directly involved in many of the issues facing the Utilities today and was part of the initiation of many of the current efforts. It saddened me to see the gradual erosion of the value of oW" Utilities in the eyes of the Community during the late 80's and 90's. I think the formation of the Utilities Advisory Cgmmission was a big step in the right direction and I get a sense that the current leadership is fully dedicated to reestablishing the premier status ofUti)jties jn the CQIDmlmjty Recently retired from a very rewarding teaching career I would like to be part of the effort to make Palo Alto Utilities the best example of what local control can do to create high value, responsive service that operates in a very business like manner. I have the time, energy and experience to be a contributing member of this effort and would be honored to do so. Bds/Commissions -702-23 2/1/2012 5. 6. What are the current issues facing the Utilities Advisory Commission? There are numerous supply, reliability, environmental and rate issues facing the Utilities Advisory Commission. I believe 2 key issues involve (l) decisions regarding the State of California Cap-and Trade Program and Options regarding the Use of Allowances provided to the Electric Utility and (2) the challenge of preparing Water Customers for the substantial rate increases coming our way over the next several years and how to best mitigate their impacts. In addition, there is the ongoing challenge of keeping customers informed on the very complex issues facing the Utilities and gaining confidence that the Department js strivjng to represent the interests of alJ customers and is responsive to their concerns. 7. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Utilities Advisory Commission achieve? For 2011-12, I would like to see a decision on the path to develop and construct a second electricity transmission line into the City. and continued implementation of the· Strategic Plan. In addition. I would like to see rate changes that are understood by residents and businesses and generally acceptable even though some are likely to increase more than would be desjrable -water rates in narticular I am sure that as I become more familiar with Issues facing the Commission, I will see the need for additional goals, particularly for 2012-13 and beyond.

Unfortunately, I will not be available the evening of March 22 as my wife and I leave for Wenatchee, Washington that morning to attend our youngest son's wedding on March 24. The Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) is a community activity I am well qualified for and extremely interested in. As you know, I have just completed a term as a commissioner on the City's Infrastructure Blue Ribbon Commission (IBRC) and would approach this appointment in the same manner. I have always been a Community volunteer who becomes fully immersed in that effort and contributes more than my fair share to the mission. Often the issues involved are complex and controversial, but I do not shy away from them and often assist in successful resolutions. The UAC is very similar to IBRC in that it involves infrastructure twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. A UAC commissioner must be well versed in a myriad of technical, financial and environmental issues affecting municipal utilities and their importance to the quality of life in Palo Alto. As evident in my application, by training and experience -including 15 years of management experience in local municipal utilities and participation in many of the organizations affecting our utilities - I am well suited to be a commissioner. Although I am not available on March 22, I will make every effort to be accessible to Council members between now and then should you have any questions you would like me to address. This can be done in the form of e-mail dialogue, a phone call or an informal chat over coffee. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the City. Respectfully submitted, ~/!~ Mark R. Harris From: Raymond Sacchetti <raybac@earthlink.net> Subject: Appreciation Date: January 25,20121 :58:07 PM PST To: Mark Harris <mrhgoblue@aol.col'll> Dear Mark, Now that our job is done and our report is in and the Council has discharged us, I want to write to your personally to say how much I enjoyed working with you. You were among the more multi-faceted members of the Commission. I admired your dedication to the task, your intelligence, your ability to speak your mind without giving offense, and the way you continually dove deep into issues--not just Cubberley, but the PSB, finance, and whatever was vexing a committee, working group, or the commission as a whole. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes people like you for that village to be all that it ought to be. With best regards, Ray < . ) CITY OF PALO ALTO.
