SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION FOR THE -CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN

RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt Resolution No. 98-47, a Resolution of the City of Santa Clarita, Authorizing
the City Manager to execute an agreement with the California Energy Commission to meet all
criteria pertaining to the appropriation of Petroleum Violation Escrow Account Funds for the
City of Santa Clarita's Alternative Fueled Vehicle Program.
Through the efforts of California State Senator William "Pete" Knight, in September of 1997 the
City of Santa Clarita was successful in securing a one-time grant of Petroleum Violation Escrow
Account (PVEA) monies in the amount of $100,000. The appropriation of these specific funds
were included as part of Senate Bill (SB) 368, which was signed by Governor Wilson in late
1997, and became effective on January 1, 1998.
As outlined by staff in the City's initial request for PVEA Grant Funds, these monies will be
utilized for the acquisition of additional alternative Fueled Vehicles and related infrastructure.
Specifically, once these funds have been released by the California Energy Commission, staff
will begin the process of acquiring electric vehicles for daily use among the City's field staff. It
is anticipated that this PVEA Grant award will provide sufficient funding to acquire four (4)
additional electric type passenger vehicles, and four (4) charging stations.
Pursuant to SB 368, the responsibility to administer the disbursement of PVEA Funds lies with
the California Energy Commission. Presently, City staff is working with representatives of the
California Energy Commission to process the City's "Project Application," and to comply with
all program requirements prior to the formal executed of this grant application. To this end,
state law requires that the City Council adopt a resolution that expressly authorizes the City
Manager to execute an agreement with the California Energy Commission on behalf of the City.
