TITLE:
Consideration and Approval: Letter in Opposition of HB 2248 and SB 1175
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to send letter in opposition of HB 2248 and SB 1175
Executive Summary:
Two bills have been introduced at the state legislature (House Bill 2248 and Senate Bill 1175) that aim to remove the authority of the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) to pass renewable energy standards and to make energy rules that would lead to 100% clean energy. The clean-energy rules approved by the ACC in November of 2020 are critical in enabling the achievement of the goals outlined in the Flagstaff City Council’s June 23, 2020 Climate Emergency. A draft letter regarding House Bill 2248 and Senate Bill 1175 is attached to this packet for the Council to review.
