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) - San Diego County public health officials have reported 408 new COVID-19 infections and one more death from the illness, raising the county's totals to 50,551 cases and 826 fatalities.The death of one man was noted Saturday. He was in his mid-40s and had an underlying medical condition.Of the 9,875 tests reported Saturday, 4% returned positive, bringing the 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases to 2.9%. The seven-day daily average of tests was 10,281.Of the total number of cases in the county, 3,681 -- or 7.3% -- have required hospitalization and 851 -- or 1.7% of all cases -- had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.Seven new community outbreaks were reported Saturday, one in a faith- based agency, one in a restaurant, one in a grocery setting, two in businesses and two in restaurant/bar settings.In the past seven days, Oct. 4 through Oct. 10, 45 community outbreaks were confirmed, well above the trigger of seven or more in a week's time. A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households over the past 14 days.The county remains in the second -- or red -- tier of the state's four- tier COVID-19 reopening plan. San Diego's state-calculated, adjusted case rate is 6.5 per 100,000 residents, down from 6.7. The unadjusted case rate is 7.0, down from 7.2.The testing positivity percentage is 3.5%, the same as last week, and it is in the third -- or orange -- tier.On Saturday, the county allowed private gatherings of up to three households, based on the state's new guidance issued Friday.The gatherings must take place outdoors. If at someone's home, guests may go inside to use the bathroom.Participants in a gathering need to stay at least six feet apart from non-household members and wear face coverings. Gatherings should be kept to two hours or less, the new guidelines state.A health equity metric will now be used to determine how quickly a county may advance through the reopening plan, San Diego Public Health Officer Dr. Wilma Wooten said Wednesday.A community can only be as well as its unhealthiest quartile, she said, and while counties with a large disparity between the least and most sick members of a community will not be punished for the disparity by sliding back into more restrictive tiers, such a disparity will stop counties from advancing to less-restrictive tiers.According to the state guidelines, the health equity will measure socially determined health circumstances, such as a community's transportation, housing, access to health care and testing, access to healthy food and parks.Neighborhoods are grouped and scored by census tracts on the Healthy Places Index, https://healthyplacesindex.org/. Some of the unhealthiest neighborhoods include Logan Heights, Valencia Park, downtown El Cajon and National City. According to county data, the county's health equity testing positivity percentage is 6.2 and is in the red tier.Wooten said the complicated metric will be explained further on Monday, when the state releases an official "playbook" of how it is calculated and what it means to communities throughout the state as they attempt to reopen.On Tuesday, the California Department of Public Health will issue its next report on county case rates. 3315

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council today approved an emergency ordinance requiring hotels, event centers and commercial property businesses to recall employees by seniority when businesses begin to recover and to retain employees if the business changes ownership after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic abates.The local ordinance applies to hotels with more than 200 rooms, janitorial, maintenance and security companies with more than 25 employees and gives recalled employees three days to decide whether to accept an offer to return.The ordinance, which was approved on a 7-2 vote, will remain in effect for six months or until Dec. 31, depending on Gov. Gavin Newsom and whether he signs Assembly Bill 3216 into law statewide. The state legislation has a significantly lower bar, requiring hotels with 50 or more rooms and event centers with 50,000 square feet or 1,000 seats or more to employ retain and recall rules by seniority.Derrick Robinson, of the Center on Policy Initiatives, said the ordinance is a good step toward protecting older workers and Black and Latino workers.``A recall by seniority protects against discrimination and favoritism,'' he said. ``And a retention protects workers when a business changes ownership.''Robinson said more than 90,000 hospitality and food service workers had lost their jobs since March, with less than half returning to work. Councilman Chris Ward drafted the ordinance for service and hospitality workers.``Council's action to approve my Emergency Recall and Retention Ordinance will ensure the most experienced San Diegans, in our most critical sectors, are rehired first to promote efficiency and safety as we re-open and rebuild our economy,'' he said. ``For months, we've heard from San Diegans who are at risk of losing their careers after decades of service. These workers deserve fair assurances that they will be able to rebuild their lives after the pandemic and continue to work and provide for their families and loved ones.''Councilmen Scott Sherman and Chris Cate cast the dissenting votes, even after several business-friendly amendments by Councilman Mark Kersey were added.Sherman saw it as government overreach which doesn't allow businesses to be flexible or hire back on merit.``Regional hotels are facing the most serious economic crisis in the history of San Diego. Flexibility and business expertise is needed to save the industry from unprecedented declines in tourism due to COVID-19,'' Sherman said. ``Instead of supporting this vital sector, the City Council has attached a heavy bureaucratic anchor around the necks of the hotel industry. This heavy- handed ordinance drafted by union bosses could result in the closure of several hotels already struggling to survive.''Council President Georgette Gomez saw the ordinance as a win for the tourism industry, but more specifically for the workers laboring in that industry, particularly coming off Labor Day weekend.Several dozen San Diegans called in to voice thoughts and concerns about the emergency ordinance.Among them were workers, some of whom have been in the hospitality industry for decades, who urged the council to help them and their families, while multiple business organizations and hotel owners decried the ordinance as union heavy-handiness which could sink their struggling businesses. 3353
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County reported 409 new cases of COVID-19 and four additional deaths Saturday, raising the county's totals to 48,200 cases and 798 fatalities as the city of San Diego reopened its 289 playgrounds.Three men and one woman died -- between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2 -- and their ages ranged from the early 60s to mid-80s, officials said Saturday. All but one had underlying medical conditions.Of the 9,143 tests reported Friday, 4% returned positive, bringing the 14-day rolling average percentage of positive cases to 3.1%. The state-set target is less than 8%. The seven-day daily average of tests was 9,191.Of the total number of cases in the county, 3,560 -- or 7.4% -- have required hospitalization and 830 -- or 1.7% of all cases -- had to be admitted to an intensive care unit.Two new community outbreaks were confirmed on Friday, both in a government setting. In the past seven days -- Sept. 26 through Oct. 2 -- 25 community outbreaks were confirmed. The number of community outbreaks remains above the trigger of seven or more in seven days. A community setting outbreak is defined as three or more COVID-19 cases in a setting and in people of different households over the past 14 days.The city began reopening its 289 outdoor playgrounds Saturday, joining the county's 100 playgrounds. Carlsbad opened playgrounds Friday morning.According to state guidance released Monday, outdoor playgrounds in parks, campgrounds and other publicly accessible locations are allowed to reopen, depending on individual cities and counties. Protocols for safe reopening include social distancing, all people 2 years old and older mandated to wear masks, no eating or drinking allowed in playgrounds and limiting time to 30 minutes while others are present.Meanwhile, San Diego State University reported 14 new cases of COVID- 19 on Saturday, bringing the total number of cases at SDSU to 1,120.The school is aware of 1,068 confirmed cases at SDSU and 52 probable cases, the university's Student Health Services reported Saturday."None of the COVID-19 cases have been connected with instructional or research spaces since fall instruction began," officials said, noting that the majority of the cases were "among students living off-campus in San Diego."All cases are since Aug. 24, the first day of instruction for fall 2020.The university announced Wednesday it was extending a pause on in- person courses through Oct. 12. Effective that day, a limited number of courses will resume in-person. Most of those courses are upper-division or graduate level, and have been "determined by faculty and academic leaders to be essential to student degree completion, licensure, and career preparation," university officials said in a statement.Approximately 2,100 students will be enrolled in an in-person course. Prior to the in-person pause, 6,200 students were enrolled in an in-person course.Paul Gothold, San Diego County's superintendent of schools, on Wednesday said schedules for the county's many districts and charter schools have not been drafted yet, but they're coming.The county has expanded its total testing sites to 41 locations, and school staff, including teachers, cafeteria workers, janitors and bus drivers, can be tested for free at any one of those sites. A rotating testing program with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection was in the works for schools in the county's rural areas.There are no state testing requirements for children, but all school staff who interact with children must be tested every two months. If schools were to open before San Diego County headed to a more restrictive tier in the state's monitoring system, they would not be affected. However, if a move to a different tier happened before schools opened for in-person learning, it would change the game plan, County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said.If parents want to test their children for the illness, they have options, including Rady Children's Hospital, through Kaiser Permanente or through the 41 sites the county manages. Children as young as 6 months can be tested at the county-run sites.On Tuesday, the county again avoided being pushed into the "purple" tier, the most restrictive in the state's four-tier reopening plan. The county will remain in the red tier for COVID-19 cases, with a state-adjusted case rate of 6.7 per 100,000 residents. The county's testing positivity percentage is 3.5%.The California Department of Public Health will issue its next report on county case rates on Tuesday. 4542
