MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director
BY: Mackenzie Douglass, Program Manager
DATE: 10/21/2020 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Approving Execution of License Agreements with Southern
California Edison for the Use of City Facilities in Support of a
Community Resource Center (CRC) during Public Safety Power
Shutoff Events
SUMMARY
Staff has received a request from Southern California Edison (SCE) to establish License
Agreements that would allow SCE to set up a Community Resource Center (CRC) at
city facilities during Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. These CRCs would
offer residents a place to charge electronic devices, stay cool, and receive information
from SCE staff. Staff is requesting the City Council consider a presentation from a SCE
Representative and approving the execution of the License Agreements.
BACKGROUND
In Fall 2019, electrical utility companies across the State of California, including SCE,
expanded the existing practice of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). This action
was taken as a preemptive measure to reduce the risk of igniting wildfires during times
of high fire danger. Consequently, many areas of Moorpark were without power for
several days in October and early November 2019, leaving many residents without a
means to power electronic devices, which have lately become critical tools for the
dissemination of information, especially during an emergency. During the PSPS event,
the Easy Fire burned within the City limits, clearly illustrating this vulnerability. SCE
envisions the need to continue to employ these preemptive power shut offs in the future.
In order to provide some relief to residents and provide resources and information
during such events, SCE has proposed partnerships with cities to establish CRCs.

Honorable City Council
10/21/2020 Regular Meeting

DISCUSSION
SCE has submitted the attached License Agreements for review and revision by City
staff and the City Attorney. Staff has determined that the scale of the proposed CRCs
are relatively small (space and seating requirements limited to 20-30 persons at a time)
and can be feasibly supported by existing City facilities such as the Moorpark
Community Center and the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center. Staff anticipates that the
proposed CRCs can be accommodated without major impacts to existing uses, such as
recreation programs, or to other anticipated emergency uses.
The License Agreements propose an operational model where takedown and set up of
the CRC is accomplished by City staff, using existing City equipment. The CRC would
be manned by SCE staff during hours of operation, who would be responsible for
distributing information and supplies, as well as providing for the security of the CRC
and the City facility. SCE would bear the costs for the use of city facilities as CRCs.
At this time, City staff is considering siting the CRC in the Citrus Room at the Moorpark
Community Center, with the Magnolia Room at the Arroyo Vista Recreation Center
available as a backup or alternate site.
FISCAL IMPACT
Per the License Agreements, SCE will pay the City $1,500 per day, per PSPS event to
offset overhead costs the City may incur, including utilities, labor to set up and break
down the CRC, and access to restrooms.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED)
Authorize the City Manager to execute the License Agreements with Southern California
Edison, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
