R E C I T A L S
A.On September 13, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9985 approving
the City of Palo Alto Utilities Electric Physical Security Plan in accordance with California Public
Utilities Commission Decision 19-01-018; and
B.Ordering Paragraph 24 of Decision 19-01-018 requires publicly owned utilities to
conduct a program review of their Physical Security Plan and associated physical security
program every five years following the initial approval of the Physical Security Plan; and
C.The City of Palo Alto Utilities has completed the required five-year review and
update of its Electric Utility Physical Security Plan, including reevaluation of covered
distribution facilities, physical security measures, risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and
other applicable program elements; and
D.The Electric Utility Physical Security Plan 2026 update includes revisions necessary
to maintain compliance with Decision 19-01-018 and incorporates administrative updates,
current operational information, and other revisions as appropriate to reflect the City's
ongoing physical security program.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. The Council affirms that Resolution No. 9985 remains in effect as the
original approval of the City's Electric Utility Physical Security Plan and hereby approves the
2026 update to the Physical Security Plan.
SECTION 2. The Council authorizes the Utilities Director to provide a signed copy of
this Resolution as notice of Council’s approval of the updated Physical Security Plan to the
California Public Utilities Commission Safety and Enforcement Division, together with any
supporting documentation required by Decision 19-01-018.
SECTION 3. The Council directs CPAU staff to continue ongoing evaluation of the
Physical Security Plan as appropriate and necessary to preserve the Plan’s integrity, with a
goal of renewed evaluation every five years as encouraged by CPUC guidelines, and authorizes
making future administrative, technical, editorial, or non-substantive revisions to the Physical
Security Plan as necessary, provided such revisions do not materially alter the Plan.

SECTION 4. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution does not meet the
definition of a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065, thus, no environmental
assessment under the California Environmental Quality Act is required at present. Individual
upgrades or changes at utility facilities, if needed as a result of the City’s implementation of the
Plan, will be analyzed under CEQA.
