Jan and//or Katie and I have been attending these meetings. Since Jan has been in Washington DC we have rescheduled some of the more important meetings for when he is back in town next week. In general the meetings fall into two categories and seem to be defined by party affiliation. While this may not be everyone's experience, our experience so far has showed that many of the Republicans have embraced our message and are offering to lend support where they are able. Many of the Democrats have demonstrated extreme caution, are interested in our message, but offering little or no support. The major theme for them is what they can take back to their districts. The one exception on the Democratic side so far has been Senator Machado who has requested IEP draft language on long-term contracting. Senator Bill Morrow (R) has requested assistance in drafting language on the NIMBY siting issue, which we agreed to do so. We have agree to assist both. From hereon, we will focus on our meeting efforts on the new Assembly ECA committee members and "meet and greets" with the new members in both the Assembly and the Senate. Because this meeting list was changing on an hourly basis, it was impossible to forward to Board members. Please be sure, if you haven't already, to send us a list of your representatives so we can contact you when a meeting with them has been confirmed. -- Assembly U&C staff organized a meeting with the CEC and generators with repower projects. Generators in attendance included representatives from Duke, Dynegy, Southern, AES and Sunrise (Williams was there but didn't speak). After each of the participants airing their grievances, we were tasked with developing language, getting the generating industry to support it and supporting it in the legislative process. We were given until Friday to hand in bill language to the U&C staff. Such a commitment comes with many promises and pitfalls which shuld be discussed next week on a conference call which IEP will be setting up. -- As reported in an e-mail yesterday, the first two special session bills passed out of the new Assembly Energy Costs and Availability (ECA) committee yesterday (ABX 5 and ABX6, both attached, but amended versions not in print yet). Both measures also passed off the Assembly floor today and are on their way to the Senate for consideration in the Senate Energy Committee. Members of that committee have not yet been announced. -- The Governor had a press conference today to announce a plan to reduce California's energy use by at least five percent within a week. During the Q&A portion of the press conference the Governor suggested the three members of the new ISO Board should be the President of the CPUC, and the Chairs of the EOB and the CEC. UPCOMING EVENTS: -- The Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee is having an informational hearing on Tuesday, January 16th at 1:30 pm in room 4202. IEP will be setting up a conference call to discuss IEP's involvement in this hearing. --end-- Julee Malinowski-Ball Senior Associate Edson + Modsette 916-552-7070 FAX-552-7075 jmball@ns.net - 2001 Tracking Report.doc - abx1_5_bill_20010109_introduced.pdf - abx1_6_bill_20010111_introduced.pdf
