AN ORDINANCE relating to the City Light Department; granting authority for the Department to offer term-limited pilot programs to study demand response and low-income assistance programs.
Item. Agenda Item nine Council. Bill 119 632. Relating to the satellite department granting authority for the Department to offer term limited pilot programs to steady demand response and low income assistance programs. Committee recommends the bill pass. Just remember, Skeeter. Council colleagues, as you may remember, in July of 2018, we requested recommendations in our updated Seattle City Light Rail redesign as part of the resolution adopting Seattle City Lights 2019 to 24 strategic plan and endorsed a six year path for those rate changes. Seattle City Light Review Panel and the Seattle City Light responded to this request in the design report and by submitting this draft report to us in April of this year. So this effort in front of us moves forward with four of those pilots to help us take those recommendations from the review panel to the next step. And again, thanks to the all volunteer body, nine member body for your work on coming up with some strategies not only for rate redesign, but helping us initially these initiate these four pilot programs. This includes pilots for low income customers to inform city lights, future proposal for rate design discounts and for services assisting low income customers. This ordinance would authorize Seattle City Light to move forward with the pilot programs, and we expect the pilot programs to go live in 2020 to give us ample time to inform our rate design changes later that year. Ready for action in 2021? Very good. Any questions or comments that please call the rule on the passage of the bill? Shira, I. O'Brien Pacheco. I want I Bagshaw I Herbold.
