_________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Resolution memorializing status of PG&E Compressed Natural Gas fueling station equipment and tube trailer lease
payments for purposes of the Political Reform Act and FPPC regulations _________________________________________________________________ Recommended Motion(s): Move to adopt the Resolution
and authorize the City Manager to execute the related Letter Agreement on behalf of the City. Report Summary: Attached is a Resolution prepared by the City Attorney and a Letter Agreement
prepared by PG&E which, together if approved, would memorialize the status of the Compressed Natural Gas fueling station equipment and tube trailer lease payments for purposes of the
Political Reform Act and Fair Political Practices Commission regulations. Essentially, these documents state that the loaning by PG&E of the fueling station ground equipment to the City
for up to 18 months, and the rebate to the City by PG&E of three months worth of lease payments for the CNG tube trailer ($4,500), are not gifts to any individual City official but rather,
gifts to the City. Additionally, the documents state the general terms under which the fueling equipment and lease payments will be used to further clarify that neither is in conflict
with either PRA or FPPC rules or regulations. PG&E is requesting adoption of the Resolution and approval of the Letter Agreement as a condition of loaning the ground equipment and making
the lease payment rebate. The City Attorney has reviewed both documents and is satisfied with their contents. Fiscal Impacts: There are no fiscal impacts associated with adopting the
Resolution or approving the Letter Agreement.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Nothing additional. Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: PG&E will not loan the fueling station equipment nor make the lease
payment rebate to the City. Follow Up Actions: The Letter Agreement will be executed by the City Manager and returned to PG&E along with a certified copy of the Resolution. Both documents
will also be filed with the City Clerk per FPPC regulations. Attachments: 1. Resolution memorializing status of fueling station equipment and lease payment rebate. 2. Letter Agreement.
