SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego's utilities future remains undecided after the City Council debated terms for a franchise agreement for its electric and natural gas provider this week.The council was asked Thursday to agree on the terms it was looking for in the agreement for one of the city's most valuable assets, valued at more than .2 billion.San Diego Gas & Electric has been the sole provider of natural gas and electric utility services for San Diego since 1920. The current franchise agreement, finalized in 1970, is set to expire Jan. 17, 2021. San Diego is California's largest city to have franchise agreements with its utilities.The terms, had they been approved Thursday, would have opened the bidding process for any interested entities to bid on the franchise agreement. They were presented to the council for input and did not technically require council approval.In the coming weeks, the city will release the final terms of the bid document, which will include input received from the public and the council, and the bidding process will begin, officials with Mayor Kevin Faulconer's office told City News Service on Saturday.Once bidding is concluded and a franchise is awarded, the agreement will go to the full council, requiring two-thirds approval.Howard Golub, a consultant for JVJ Pacific Consulting, which the city hired to analyze its needs, recommended the minimum bid in the terms should be million -- low enough to encourage bids but not so low the city and its residents are suffocated by high rates and later surcharges with no money back to show for it, he said."This is the floor, not the ceiling," Golub said.Golub also recommended franchise fees of 3.5% for natural gas and 3% for electric and a 20-year term with the bidder the city chooses.SDG&E is owned by Sempra Energy, an international corporation based in San Diego. Warren Buffett-owned Berkshire Hathaway has expressed interest in the bidding process.An initial proposal by Council President Georgette Gomez was rejected 6-3. It included a provision similar to that of Chula Vista, with a 10-year deal with an automatic renewal if the franchisee had been a "good partner."An amendment by Councilwoman Monica Montgomery raised the minimum bid from the 1% of total value of million to 5%, or 0 million. It also included a climate equity fund and the provision to make the highest bidder subject to collective bargaining from employees who were working for SDG&E -- in case that company does not win the bid."We can't be working toward a just climate future if our partner undermines that," Gomez said.Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell then proposed terms to accept all of JVJ's recommendations with the option to "explore" the climate equity fund. This failed 5-4, with multiple council members switching votes during discussion as amendments were added and removed.Councilman Chris Cate asked for a provision to see and consider all bids for the franchise agreement regardless of the bid offered -- dependent on how closely each bidder met the city's terms.Councilwoman Vivian Moreno said the lack of concrete plan to establish and fund the climate equity fund -- which she said would be funded by the minimum bid and would add "green" elements to portions of the city often underserved -- was automatically unacceptable for her.The council's lack of consensus prompted some speculation about the possibility of municipalizing the city's gas and electric services."I recommend a franchise agreement first," Golub said. "And if that's not feasible, move to a publicly owned utility."High interest rates in 1970 prevented the city from seriously examining that route, but much lower interest rates now make a public-owned utility more feasible, Golub said.According to valuations by business process management company NewGen, the city could buy out SDG&E's infrastructure at a fair market rate of just over billion.According to Golub's recommendations, the city should not do what it did in 1970 -- accept a franchise agreement it wasn't happy with because SDG&E was the sole bidder.More than 80 members of the public called in to the meeting to express support for a franchise renewal of SDG&E or for municipalization.The callers were fairly evenly split, with many of the calls in support of extending the existing franchise agreement with SDG&E coming from employees with the company or those representing the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local representing SDG&E workers.They claimed maintaining jobs, 100 years of history with the city and "keeping it local" as reasons to renew the franchise as soon as possible for 20 years or more.Opponents to moving any franchise agreement forward claimed SDG&E's perceived lack of reliability, its high utility costs and its parent company's involvement in fracking are all reasons to avoid franchising with SDG&E.Some of them made impassioned pleas to municipalize the city's gas and electric, essentially making the city take on the burden of providing the utilities.One man urged the council to vote no and do further study on the potential of municipalization and the ramifications of not doing so."When this goes sideways, and it will, you can't say you didn't know," he said. 5295

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council is slated to vote next week on its intent to forward an initiative to the November ballot that would create an independent commission on police practices, which is available for review by the general public Thursday.The proposed Commission on Police Practices would review all deaths stemming from interactions with San Diego police, as well as all police shootings.Investigations into these matters would be conducted whether or not a complaint has been made against a particular officer or the department as a whole. Commission staff or contractors operating independently of the police department would conduct the investigations.(Read the proposed initiative text here)The commission may — but would not be required to — investigate complaints against officers not involving deaths or officer-related shootings, according to the proposed measure's language. The proposed body would have subpoena power to call witnesses or request records related to its investigations.The latest version of the proposed initiative, released Wednesday night, includes the addition of an appeals process for any officer the commission finds committed sustained incidences of misconduct. Appeals would be handled by the city's Civil Service Commission.RELATED: San Diego looks to Baltimore Police for de-escalation policy reformsOther incidents the commission could consider investigating include use of force by officers resulting in great bodily injury, "dishonesty" by an SDPD officer relating to "the reporting, investigation or prosecution of a crime," incidents that have "generated substantial public interest or concern," patterns of misconduct by officers or patterns of "inappropriate policies, procedures or practices by the police department or its members."The commission could also make recommendations to the police department on disciplinary decisions for officers, though the chief of police "retains authority and discretion to discipline subordinate employees in the police department."RELATED: Push for new independent commission on police practices in San DiegoThe parameters of the commission, including the number of members, term length, qualifications and method for appointing members, will be determined by the city council. Additionally, the body would replace the city's Community Review Board on Police Practices, which the lacks the investigatory powers of the proposed commission."I am looking forward to giving voters the opportunity to bring more transparency and accountability to public safety in San Diego," said City Council President Georgette Gomez. "A truly independent commission is essential to making law enforcement officers more responsive and more accountable to the people they serve. I thank my colleague, Councilmember Monica Montgomery, for her persistent leadership on this critical issue."RELATED: District Attorney talks about transparency and independent police review boardThe San Diego City Council will vote at its June 23 meeting on two actions related to forwarding the measure to the November ballot. These include a resolution ratifying an agreement between the city and the San Diego Police Officers Association to establish the commission and a resolution stating the city council is declaring its intent to submit the measure to voters.A statement from Gomez's office says further council action will be needed before the measure can be officially forwarded to the ballot. 3475

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The president of the NAACP San Diego Branch Saturday criticized the proposal to de-escalate confrontational law enforcement situations adopted Wednesday by the San Diego County Police Chiefs and Sheriff's Association.The plan calls on all police personnel to "use tactics and techniques to persuade" suspects to "voluntarily comply" and mitigate the need to use increased physical tactics to resolve situations safely, the association said.Francine Maxwell, NAACP San Diego Branch president, issued a statement in reaction to the proposal: "We find this document to be profoundly tone- deaf and utterly inadequate. This document seems to have been prepared inside an echo chamber of highly paid law enforcement officials. Where was the input from the taxpaying public?"The policies unanimously adopted by the group are the culmination of a project that began last June with the creation of a committee tasked with exploring the hot-button issue. The committee included representatives from all countywide municipal police agencies, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office and a local psychiatric emergency-response team.Guiding the development of the new policy was "the overarching principle of reverence for human life in all investigative, enforcement and other interactions between law enforcement and members of the community," according to the association.But Maxwell responded to the proposal by asking, "Where in this document is it affirmed that the purpose of law enforcement is to protect and to serve, not to dominate and control? Where in this document are the policies and procedures needed to reign in the abuse, violence, and death that so regularly occur in citizen interactions with law enforcement?"Maxwell asked the law enforcement group to apologize for and withdraw the proposal, which said argued "does nothing to restore the public's trust and faith." She made a few other recommendations as well, including asking law enforcement to sit down with individuals who have suffered trauma and abuse, and she asked that officials move swiftly to build a new spirit of service and protection into their departments.She said officers who will not change should be removed, "rather than allow them to corrupt another generation of recruits with their aggression and violence."According to the association's strategy, peace officers should consider these concepts:-- Pre-engagements which involve "the process of gathering and assessing information prior to deploying the available personnel, tactics, equipment and other appropriate and obtainable resources" so as to "enhance the probability of a peaceful outcome."-- De-escalation, which hinges on the use of techniques intended "to gain voluntary compliance from an individual in order to gain or maintain control of an incident while reducing the need for physical coercion."-- Disengagement, or "tactical withdraw," an enforcement method that can "be a viable option for individuals in crisis who pose no additional threats to others, or resistant offenders who may later be apprehended under safer conditions."The mission of the project "was to not only define best practices for de-escalation, but to do so collectively to ensure the county is of one mind on the philosophy," said Chula Vista Police Chief Roxana Kennedy, president of the police-leadership body. "As part of this community, we understand the importance of violence prevention whenever possible, and de- escalation techniques are the best way to get there."The association included the law enforcement leadership of the county and all local cities, as well as San Diego Harbor Police, the county Probation Department and the police departments of the San Diego Community College District, San Diego State University, San Diego Unified School District and the University of California San Diego. 3867
