ORANGE COUNTY POWER AUTHORITY (OCPA) -
INFORMATION FOR CITIES THAT ARE CONSIDERING JOINING THE POWER AUTHORITY
_____________________________________________________________________________
OCPA RATE PLANS
OCPA claims customers enrolled in their Smart Rate or 100% Renewable Plans are “choosing” to pay more
every month for their electricity than SCE customers. The reason, according to Irvine City Council members
and OCPA Board members, Tammy Kim and Kathleen Treseder, is to get the benefit of cleaner energy, and
they do it for the benefit of everyone. That sounds so noble, but I don’t think their customers are actually
seeing it that way. But it is all so pointless anyway, because the fossil-fuel based utility grid (SCE), where we
ALL receive our power from, is at its maximum capacity for renewable energy. The grid supplies us ALL with
approximately 35.8% of renewables, and integrating anymore presents challenges without a huge backup
system.
PURCHASE OF RENEWABLES
So where is all that renewable energy going that OCPA customers are paying a premium for? Well, the OCPA
is in the business of buying and selling power, for a profit, And because California has an over-abundance of
renewables, and they are inexpensive, OCPA will go into a market where they can get sold for a profit, while
simultaneously purchasing cheap fossil fuel to supply to the grid. With each purchase of renewable energy
comes a receipt that is separate from the physical electricity, and these receipts can be bought and sold
independently. OCPA hangs on to these receipts, also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (REC’s), and
gives those to the State to offset their own energy consumption of fossil fuels, and claim that they are using
renewable energy, even if they are still connected to a conventional grid like SCE. This process is known as
greenwashing. Greenwashing is the practice of misleading the public by presenting a product or service as
environmentally friendly or sustainable when it is not.
1
RESERVE FUND
I find it extremely concerning that the OCPA has a huge reserve fund. Especially since they have the largest
opt-out rate of all California Community Choice Energy (CCE) programs in California of 38%. The average is
between 4% - 8%. Irvine City Council member and OCPA Board member, Kathleen Treseder used OCPA
reserve funds to donate to Ayn Cracuin’s campaign for a seat on the Irvine City Council. Ayn Craciun is
Treseders friend, and additional OCPA funds were given to Ayn Craciun/Climate Action Campaign, totaling
$30,000! Also important to note; Craciun is Treseder’s Commissioner on the Irvine City Council. Then there is
Irvine City Council member and OCPA Board member, Tammy Kim, who gives thousands of dollars to non-
profit organizations overseas that help fund her campaign as she runs for the Mayor of Irvine. Other Board
members give customer funds away to organizations of their liking, organizations that have nothing to do with
clean energy projects. Some of these organizations get funding from their own cities as well. To say that the
OCPA is being used as their own personal slush fund is an understatement. I have attached OCPA’s Financial
Statements that include their check registers (on the very last pages) for you to decide.
REASONS WHY OTHER CITIES GOT OUT OF THE POWER AUTHORITY
• Lake Forest left during their grace period and before any energy was procured for their city. The reasons
were multiple. They wanted the Joint Powers Agreement amended to give a term limit for the Board
Chairperson. They also wanted the mentions of EMINENT DOMAIN in the Joint Powers Agreement to be taken
out, completely. And they did not want Irvine to have two seats on the Board. All requests were denied.
• The County of Orange gave notice after power was already procured for their customers, but prior to its
delivery by SCE. They still walked away paying a hefty fine.The two main reasons the Board of Supervisors
voted to get out was because the OCPA refused to show their power purchase contracts and agreements.
They also felt that the CEO and their legal attorney was unable to properly address their overall concerns.
• Huntington Beach and OCPA Board member, Casey McKeon, asked the OCPA for the California
Independent System Operator Settlement Statements. The OCPA denied his request. McKeon stated that
there was no reason not to release these documents, and by not doing so, confirms his belief that their entire
operation is a fraud. He stated they were nothing but a “Shell“ company, and compared them to Enron.
OCPA OPERATIONS
Long-term power purchases are made a year in advance. And with OCPA’s unusually high opt-out rate, they
need to secure new cities before their existing customers are saddled with paying the cost difference. This
could financially bankrupt the organization.
POWER CONTENT LABEL
OCPA’s Power Content Label (PCL) only discloses what the OCPA has purchased, and not what they have
sold off for profit. Misleading or deception, you decide.
FEASIBILITY STUDY
Recently at a Costa Mesa City Council Meeting, OCPA CEO, Joe Mosca stated that a Feasibility Study is done
FOR the benefit of the OCPA. He claims that the study is to see if the city considering joining will benefit their
organization. This is a bold face lie and I think the Costa Mesa Council saw this as a deception as well. The
fact that OCPA is paying for this study, while the other cities had to pay for their own, but utilized OCPA’s
recommended agency, and before the OCPA was up and running, says they want to control what the study
will say about the organization now, because the report will be shared with the respective city.
IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER
• Cities that join are automatically removing their residents and businesses from SCE and placing them in the
OCPA.
• Whether enrolled in OCPA or SCE, everyone receives the same mix of energy, only difference is, OCPA
customers pay more for Smart Choice and 100% renewable.
• OCPA claims they are transparent, but refuses to show their settlement statements.
• Until the loan to Irvine is paid back, Irvine will have two seats on the board.
• Having substantial reserves with an unusually high opt-out rate is concerning as to how those reserves were
collected.
• Misuse of customer funds by board members, and mismanagement are serious concerns. Without an
outside independent oversight review board, customers will have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
2
• Long-term energy contracts can affect rates. OCPA needs to be transparent and keep customers informed
of the pros and cons of these contracts.
• The six-month notice requirement by the OCPA for customers to switch back to SCE is a significant
consideration for a potential city that is considering signing on.
• OCPA can change their rates AT ANY TIME, as they are not regulated by the State like SCE.
• Cities do not have local control when the board votes are weighted by each cities load share, and Irvine gets
two votes.
• The Joint Powers Agreement (attached) should be reviewed by a legal attorney that specializes in energy
contracts. Cities need to know what their outside liabilities are, and how eminent domain can become a real
issue if the OCPA goes bankrupt and those long-term power contracts do not get paid.
PAST HISTORY
With all the public scrutiny and past audits, including by the City of Irvine, the OCPA has not changed how
they are managed and operated. Management is still the same. They still employ the same legal firm and
advisory consultants; the CEO is no better than the last CEO. In fact, they both have the same employment
history of sitting on various boards, except Joe Mosca was the Mayor of Sierra Madre. However, as you will
see from the attached article, the residents were not too happy about him, even describing his less than
truthful ways. And to think the OCPA selected Joe, out of over 100 applicants, a person who was already
employed at the OCPA, in the Communications Department, and was hired by the previous CEO. Both of
whom, have no degree in the energy field, or experience in dealing with huge amounts of money in buying and
selling of power. An obvious requirement for a CEO position in any energy organization, and mentioned in the
audit reports.
SUMMARY
This organization gives the appearance that it is reducing carbon emissions by the procurement of
renewables, and even worse is their customers are mislead into believing those renewables are going
straight into their homes and businesses. Going 100% renewable means spending trillions of dollars to invest
in battery storage and solar panels. But this would just add to environmental concerns down the road.
Batteries and Solar Panels are toxic within themselves, and without a safe way to dispose of them when they
have been used up is a major concern. The public needs to know what the long-term effects are by going
100% Green, instead of encouraging organizations like the Orange County Power Authority, which isn’t even
doing that.
LET US NOT TRY TO SOLVE ONE PROBLEM BY CREATING ANOTHER PROBLEM!

Board of Directors
Orange County Power Authority
Management is responsible for the operating fund and program fund budgetary comparison reports of
Orange County Power Authority (OCPA), a California Joint Powers Authority, for the period ended
September 30, 2023, and for determining that the budgetary basis of accounting is an acceptable
financial reporting framework. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and
Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the accompanying statement nor
were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information
provided by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any
assurance on this special purpose budgetary comparison statement.
The special purpose statement is prepared in accordance with the budgetary basis of accounting,
which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. This report is intended for the information of the Board of Directors of OCPA.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the note disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these interim financial statements.
OCPA’s annual audited financial statements include the note disclosures omitted from these interim
statements. If the omitted disclosures were included in these financial statements, they might influence
the user’s conclusions about the Authority’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such
matters.
We are not independent with respect to OCPA because we performed certain accounting services that
impaired our independence.

Budget %Comment
Electric Sales Revenue 105.2% Year-to-date energy sales are slightly more than forecast by approx. $6.6M or 5.2%.
Sales revenue includes revenues actually billed to customers as well as estimated
customer usage during the reporting period that is not yet billed.
Cost of Energy 101.7% The variance is primarily due to the timing difference between projected and actual
delivery of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and fluctuating market prices.
Data Manager 107.4% These are Calpine fees charged on a per active account basis. The discrepancy
related to Calpine's service fees was higher than expected due to the bi-monthly
enrollment of Net Energy Metering (NEM) accounts, which were not accounted for
in the original budget. By October 2023, all NEM accounts had been enrolled into
the OCPA service, contributing to the increased fees. Staff plans to update the
service fee projections in the mid-year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024.
Service Fees - SCE 164.6% These are SCE fees charged on a per customer basis. The discrepancy arose because
the actual service fees charged by SCE for were higher than initially projected by
SCE. This resulted in a budget shortfall. Staff plans to update the SCE service fee
projections during the mid-year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024 to align with
the actual costs.
Personnel 31.2% Staffing expenses are under budget due to the timing delay of new hires.
Professional Services 78.4% This category includes accounting and audit, rates and financial & planning
analysis, portfolio management, scheduling coordinator, HR including recruitment
services and compensation study, IT, and other consultants.
Legal Costs 87.6% This category includes outside legal costs for general counsel, energy procurement
transactional support, labor, clerk support, regulatory, member agency withdrawal,
and RA appeal services.
Marketing and customer enrollment 94.6% This category includes advertising, strategic marketing & communications, digital
marketing and website development and hosting, collateral marketing, translation,
sponsorships & memberships, promotional items, required customer notifications
printing and mailing.
Other General & Administrative 77.7% This category includes ordinary G&A including rent, CalCCA membership, general
business insurance, small equipment and software, travel, business meals,
professional development, and office supplies.
Interest and financing expenses 77.6% This category includes interest and fees related to Letters of Credit posted for
collateral on energy supply.

ACCOUNTANTS’ COMPILATION REPORT
Management
Orange County Power Authority
Management is responsible for the accompanying financial statements of Orange County Power
Authority (a California Joint Powers Authority) which comprise the statement of net position as of
December 31, 2023, and the related statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, and
the statement of cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance
with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and
Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the accompanying statements
nor were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the
information provided by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, conclusion, nor
provide any assurance on these financial statements.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the note disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these interim financial statements.
Orange County Power Authority’s annual audited financial statements include the note disclosures
omitted from these interim statements. If the omitted disclosures were included in these financial
statements, they might influence the user’s conclusions about the Authority’s financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who
are not informed about such matters.
We are not independent with respect to the Authority because we performed certain accounting services
that impaired our independence.

ACCOUNTANTS’ COMPILATION REPORT
Board of Directors
Orange County Power Authority
Management is responsible for the operating fund and program fund budgetary comparison reports of
Orange County Power Authority (OCPA), a California Joint Powers Authority, for the period ended
December 31, 2023, and for determining that the budgetary basis of accounting is an acceptable
financial reporting framework. We have performed a compilation engagement in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and
Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not audit or review the accompanying statement nor
were we required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information
provided by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any
assurance on this special purpose budgetary comparison statement.
The special purpose statement is prepared in accordance with the budgetary basis of accounting,
which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. This report is intended for the information of the Board of Directors of OCPA.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the note disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America in these interim financial statements.
OCPA’s annual audited financial statements include the note disclosures omitted from these interim
statements. If the omitted disclosures were included in these financial statements, they might influence
the user’s conclusions about the Authority’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such
matters.
We are not independent with respect to OCPA because we performed certain accounting services that
impaired our independence.

Budget Item
Actual /
Budget %Comment
Electric Sales Revenue 105.8% Year-to-date energy sales are slightly more than forecast by approx. $12.0M or
5.8%. Sales revenue includes revenues actually billed to customers as well as
estimated customer usage during the reporting period that is not yet billed.
Cost of Energy 107.0% The variance is affected by increased energy purchases required to provide for
greater than expected customer load. Also affecting the variance is the timing
difference between projected and actual delivery of Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs) and fluctuating market prices.
Data Manager 108.1% These are Calpine fees charged on a per active account basis. The discrepancy
related to Calpine's service fees was higher than expected due to the bi-monthly
enrollment of Net Energy Metering (NEM) accounts, which were not accounted for
in the original budget. By October 2023, all NEM accounts had been enrolled into
the OCPA service, contributing to the increased fees. Staff plans to update the
service fee projections in the mid-year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024.
Service Fees - SCE 146.8% These are SCE fees charged on a per customer basis. The discrepancy arose because
the actual service fees charged by SCE for were higher than initially projected by
SCE. This resulted in a budget shortfall. Staff plans to update the SCE service fee
projections during the mid-year FY23/24 budget review in March 2024 to align
with the actual costs.
Personnel 33.4% Staffing expenses are under budget due to the timing delay of new hires.
Professional Services 77.5% This category includes accounting and audit, rates and financial & planning
analysis, portfolio management, scheduling coordinator, HR including recruitment
services and compensation study, IT, and other consultants.
Legal Costs 90.0% This category includes outside legal costs for general counsel, energy procurement
transactional support, labor, clerk support, regulatory, member agency withdrawal,
and RA appeal services.
Marketing and customer enrollment 111.3% This category includes advertising, strategic marketing & communications, digital
marketing and website development and hosting, collateral marketing, translation,
sponsorships & memberships, promotional items, required customer notifications
printing and mailing. Actual expenses were greater than the budget by $136k. This
was due to timing, as the OCPA's anniversary campaign and related media and
communication initiatives were incurred in October 2023. Staff expects less
expenses to be incurred in 2024.
Other General & Administrative 82.9% This category includes ordinary G&A including rent, CalCCA membership, general
business insurance, small equipment and software, travel, business meals,
professional development, and office supplies.
Interest and financing expenses 114.9% This category includes interest and fees related to Letters of Credit posted for
collateral on energy supply.

SECTION 3: GOVERNANCE
3.1 General Governance; Board of Directors. The governing body of the Authority
shall be a Board of Directors (“Board”) consisting of one director for each Party appointed in
accordance with subsection 3.2, except the City of Irvine whose governing body shall appoint two
directors (the “Irvine Directors”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the governing body of the City
of Irvine shall appoint one director upon the full satisfaction and repayment of the Capital Loan,
as defined in subsection 5.5.
3.2 Appointment of Directors. The governing body of each Party shall appoint and
designate in writing the Director(s) who shall be authorized to act for and on behalf of the Party
on matters within the powers of the Authority. The governing body of each Party shall also appoint
and designate in writing an alternate Director(s) who may vote in matters when the regular Director
is absent from a Board meeting. The governing bodies of the Founding Parties may, in their sole
discretion, elect to appoint their respective Director(s) prior to the Effective Date, in which case
such appointment(s) to the Board shall take effect on the Effective Date. The persons appointed
and designated as the regular Director and the alternate Director shall be a member of the
governing body of the Party when appointed.
3.3 Terms of Office. Each regular and alternate Director shall serve a term of four
years. If at any time a vacancy occurs on the Board, a replacement shall be appointed by the
governing body to fill the position of the previous Director within ninety (90) days of the date that
such position becomes vacant. Replacement Directors shall serve until the scheduled expiration
of the four year term of the Board member that they replace.
3.4 Quorum. A majority of the Directors of the entire Board shall constitute, and is
necessary to constitute, a quorum, except that less than a quorum may adjourn a meeting from time
to time in accordance with law.
3.5 Powers of the Board of Directors. The Board may exercise all the powers
enumerated in this Agreement and shall conduct all business and activities of the Authority
consistent with this Agreement and any bylaws, operating procedures, and applicable law.
3.6 Executive Committee. The Board shall establish an executive committee
consisting of a smaller number of Directors upon the Authority’s membership consisting of nine
or more members. The initial members of the executive committee shall be the Directors of the
Founding Members with the chair of the Board serving as chair of the Executive Committee.
3.7 Committees. The Board may establish committees as the Board deems appropriate
to assist the Board in carrying out its functions and implementing the purposes of this Agreement.
In accordance with subsection 2.3, the Board may delegate to any committees that consist solely
of Board members any of the powers specified in subsection 2.1, except for the power to acquire
property by eminent domain specified in subsection 2.1.5. Committees that include or consist of
non-Board members shall be advisory only.
55695.00001\33485367.1
6
3.8 Director Compensation. The Board shall adopt policies establishing compensation
attendance at Board and Committee meetings and work performed by each Director on behalf of
the Authority as well as policies for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by each Director;
provided that in no instance shall the per meeting or per day compensation be less than the
compensation provided to directors of the Orange County Sanitation District.
3.9 Voting by the Board of Directors.
3.9.1 Equal Vote.Each Director or participating alternate shall have one vote.
Except as provided for in Sections 3.9.2, 3.9.3 and 3.9.4, action of the Board on all matters shall
require an affirmative vote of a majority of all Directors who are present at the subject meeting
(“Equal Vote”).
3.9.2 Voting Shares Vote.Immediately after (and during the same Board Meeting
as) an affirmative or tie Equal Vote, two or more Directors shall have the right to request and
conduct a Voting Shares Vote (defined below) to reconsider that action approved by the Equal
Vote. In the event of a Voting Shares Vote where the City of Irvine appoints two Directors to the
Board and one or more Irvine Directors requests a Voting Shares Vote, a Party other than the City
of Irvine must constitute the second Director for purposes of having the right to request and
conduct a Voting Shares Vote. A “yes” vote on the Voting Shares Vote shall be a vote to reverse
and reject the Equal Vote; a “no” vote on the Voting Shares Vote shall be a vote to affirm the
Equal Vote. For Voting Shares Votes, votes shall be weighted as described in subsection 3.9.3. A
“yes” vote on a Voting Shares Vote shall require (i) for votes requiring a majority under subsection
3.9.1, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of all Directors voting; (ii) for votes
requiring a supermajority of two-thirds under this Agreement, sixty-seven percent (67%) or more
of the voting shares of all Directors voting; and (iii) for votes requiring a supermajority of three
quarters under this Agreement more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting shares of all
Directors voting. All votes taken pursuant to this subsection 3.9.2 shall be referred to as a “Voting
Shares Vote.” If a Voting Shares Vote yields a “no” vote, the legal effect is to affirm the Equal
Vote with respect to which the Voting Shares Vote was taken. If the Voting Shares Vote succeeds,
the legal effect is to nullify the Equal Vote with respect to which the Voting Shares Vote was
taken. If the underlying Equal Vote was a tie, the Voting Shares Vote replaces that tie vote. No
action may be taken solely by a Voting Shares Vote without first having taken an Equal Vote.
3.9.3 Voting Shares Formula.When a Voting Shares Vote is requested by two or

SECTION 6: WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
6.1 Right to Withdraw.
6.1.1 Right to Withdraw Prior to March 1, 2021. Except for the City of Irvine, a
Party may withdraw from the Authority for any reason and without liability or cost prior to March
1, 2021 upon providing the Authority fifteen (15) days advance written notice.
6.1.2 Right to Withdraw After March 1, 2021. Except for the withdrawal
provided for in Section 6.1.1, a Party may withdraw its membership in the Authority, effective as
of the beginning of the Authority’s fiscal year, by giving no less than one hundred eighty (180)
days advance written notice of its election to do so, which notice shall be given to the Authority
and each Party. Withdrawal of a Party shall require an affirmative vote of the Party’s governing
board. A Party that withdraws from the Authority pursuant to this subsection may be subject to
certain continuing liabilities as described in this Agreement. The withdrawing Party and the
Authority shall execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take any further
actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the orderly withdrawal of such Party.
6.2 Involuntary Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a
Party for material non-compliance with provisions of this Agreement upon a two-thirds vote of the
entire Board (excluding the vote of the Party subject to possible termination) taken in accordance
with subsection 3.9.4.1. Prior to any vote to terminate this Agreement with respect to a Party,
written notice of the proposed termination and the reason(s) for such termination shall be delivered
55695.00001\33485367.1
12
to the Party whose termination is proposed at least thirty (30) days prior to the regular Board
meeting at which such matter shall first be discussed as an agenda item. The written notice of
proposed termination shall specify the particular provisions of this Agreement that the Party has
allegedly violated with supporting documentation. The Party subject to possible termination shall
have the opportunity at the next regular Board meeting following the expiration of the thirty-day
(30) day notice period to respond to any reasons and allegations that may be cited as a basis for
termination. The Party’s response shall be evaluated at a public meeting prior to a vote regarding
termination. A Party that has had its membership in the Authority terminated may be subject to
certain continuing liabilities, as described in subsection 6.3. If the Board votes to terminate a
Party’s membership in the Authority, the effective date of the termination shall be scheduled by
the Board, in its reasonable discretion, to ensure adequate time for the transition of the terminated
Party’s CCA Program customers to another electricity provider. The Parties expressly intend,
agree and acknowledge that a Board action to terminate a Party’s membership in the Authority
shall be upheld so long as it is not arbitrary and capricious, and is supported by substantial
evidence.
6.3 Continuing Liability; Refund. Upon a withdrawal of a Party under subsection 6.1.2
or involuntary termination of a Party under subsection 6.2, the Party shall be responsible for any
claims, demands, damages, or liabilities attributable to the Party through the effective date of its
withdrawal or involuntary termination. Such Party also shall be responsible liable to the Authority
for (a) any damages, losses, or costs incurred by the Authority which result directly from the
Party’s withdrawal or termination, including, but not limited to, costs arising from the resale of
capacity, electricity, or any attribute thereof no longer needed to serve such Party’s load, and
removal of customers from the CCA Program resulting from the withdrawal or termination of the
Party; and (b) any costs or obligations associated with the Party’s participation in any program in
accordance with the program’s terms, provided such costs or obligations were incurred prior to the
withdrawal of the Party. Except as otherwise specified, such Party shall not be responsible for any
claims, demands, damages, or liabilities commencing or arising after the effective date of the
Party’s withdrawal or involuntary termination. From and after the date a Party provides notice of
its withdrawal or is terminated, the Authority shall reasonably and in good faith seek to mitigate
any costs and obligations to be incurred by the withdrawing or terminated Party under this
subsection through measures reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, that this
obligation to mitigate does not impose any obligation on the Authority to transfer any cost or
obligation directly attributable to the membership and withdrawal or termination of the
withdrawing or terminated Party to the ratepayers of the remaining Parties. Further the liability of
the withdrawing or terminated Party shall be based on actual costs or damages incurred by the
Authority and shall not include any penalties or punitive charges imposed by the Authority. The
Authority may withhold funds otherwise owing to the Party or may require the Party to deposit
sufficient funds with the Authority, as reasonably determined by the Authority, to cover the Party’s
liability for the costs described above. The withdrawing or terminated Party agrees to pay any
such deposit determined by the Authority in consultation with a third party audit firm. Any amount
of the withdrawing or terminated Party’s funds held on deposit with the Authority above that which
is required to pay any liabilities or obligations shall be returned to that Party. In the implementation
of this subsection 6.3, the Parties intend, to the maximum extent possible, without compromising
the viability of ongoing Authority operations, that any claims, demands, damages, or liabilities
covered hereunder, be funded from the rates paid by CCA Program customers located within the
55695.00001\33485367.1
13
service territory of the withdrawing Party, and not from the general fund of the withdrawing Party
itself. The liability of a withdrawing Party under this subsection shall be only to the Authority and
not to any other Party.
6.4 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by vote of the
Board in accordance with subsection 3.9.4.1, or by mutual agreement of all the Parties approved
by majority votes of their respective governing bodies. provided, however, that this subsection
shall not be construed as limiting the rights of a Party to withdraw in accordance with Section 6.
6.5 Disposition of Authority Assets Upon Termination of Agreement. Upon
termination of this Agreement, any surplus money or assets in possession of the Authority for use
under this Agreement, after payment of all liabilities, costs, expenses, and charges incurred by the
Authority, shall be returned to the then-existing Parties in proportion to the contributions made by
each.
SECTION 7: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
7.1 Dispute Resolution. The Parties and Authority shall make efforts to settle all
disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Before exercising any remedy
provided by law, a Party or Parties and the Authority shall engage in nonbinding mediation in the
manner agreed to by the Party or Parties and the Authority. In the event that nonbinding mediation
does not resolve a dispute within one hundred twenty (120) days after the demand for mediation
is made, any Party or the Authority may pursue any all remedies provided by law.
7.2 Liability of Directors, Officers, and Employees. The Directors, officers, and
employees of the Authority shall use ordinary care and reasonable diligence in the exercise of their
powers and in the performance of their duties pursuant to this Agreement. No current or former
Director, officer, or employee will be responsible for any act or omission by another Director,
officer, or employee. The Authority shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the individual
current and former Directors, officers, and employees for any acts or omissions in the scope of

Parties, the Authority, or its Directors, officers, or employees.
7.3 Indemnification. The Authority shall acquire such insurance coverage as the Board
deems necessary to protect the interests of the Authority, the Parties, and the Authority’s
ratepayers. The Authority shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Parties and each of their
respective board members or council members, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all
claims, losses, damages, costs, injuries, and liabilities of every kind to the extent arising directly
or indirectly from the conduct, activities, operations, acts, and omissions of the Authority under
this Agreement.
7.4 Assignment. The rights and duties of a Party may not be assigned or delegated
without the advance written consent of all other Parties. Any attempt to assign or delegate such
rights or duties without express written consent of all other Parties shall be null and void. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of
the Parties. This subsection does not prohibit a Party from entering into an independent agreement
55695.00001\33485367.1
14
with another entity regarding the financing of that Party’s contributions to the Authority (if any),
or the disposition of proceeds which that Party receives under this Agreement, so long as such
independent agreement does not affect, or purport to affect, the rights and duties of the Authority
or the Parties under this Agreement.
7.5 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is held, determined, or adjudicated to
be illegal, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this
Agreement shall be given effect to the fullest extent reasonably possible.
7.6 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take any further action that may be reasonably necessary to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

B. Prior to formation of the Authority, the City funded a feasibility study, peer review, and
other activities necessary to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of a CCA program. The

and the Authority's founding members.
C. As expressly stated in that certain document entitled, Orange County Power Authority
Joint Powers Agreement, at Section 5.5, which is incorporated herein by this reference, it was
agreed upon by the parties thereto that the City would be reimbursed by the Authority for all

D. The City estimates that its costs to study, form and implement the Authority are
$250,000, which include, but are not limited to, costs for its feasibility study, peer review, City
staffing, legal costs, member and stakeholder outreach, and formation of the Authority

E. The City estimates that the Authority will need approximately $2,500,000 for working
capital to pay for implementation costs through a projected launch of the CCA program in 2022

$20,000,000 in the form of a credit facility for operational support and power procurement as
well as other cash fl ow needs, and that any such credit facility may require cash collateral from

Sierra Madre: Joe Mosca’s political
career goes south

While more recent arrivals in town may be unaware of this fellow’s
significance, veteran Sierra Madreanos are likely to remember Joe Mosca.
The one-time mayor of Sierra Madre first arrived in town in late 2005, only
to run for City Council less than a year later. Obviously he was a young man
in a hurry. One of splendid gifts and much promise all were assured by his
handlers.
Running as a preservationist opposed to a clunky mixed-use nightmare
known as the “Downtown Specific Plan,” Joe rode to elective glory upon a
wave of local revulsion at the city’s fraudulent proto-development political
establishment. When his election gave slow-growthers a clear City Council
majority, many declared the town’s troubles over.
Alas, no. As often happens with local baby-kissers, Mosca quickly flipped
on everything he’d previously promised. He became an aggressive
supporter of the very project he’d opposed when running for office.
Something that led to a successful resident land use revolt called Measure
V, an unsuccessful recall, general civic mayhem, plus some annoying blogs.
Then, for reasons remaining unclear to this day, in 2011 Joe suddenly
resigned his office. This only months after he’d won re-election with a
campaign vowing his eternal love of Sierra Madre. Some credited Chris
Holden for effortlessly crushing Mosca’s state Assembly ambitions, leaving
him with little reason to stay. Others pointed to his physician husband being
awarded a lucrative job in San Diego, bread winner’s needs carrying the
day.
Shortly after landing in the San Diego County surf and sand suburb of
Encinitas, Mosca somehow managed to get himself appointed to an open
11/12/23, 11:16 PMPage 2 of 4
seat on that City Council. This despite the many other hopeful applicants
who’d lived there for more than a hot minute. When he actually needed to
run for that seat a few years later, he barely eked out a victory over an 80-
year-old resident who rarely left the house due to his ailments.
The ad spots run by his opponent’s campaign featured footage of Mosca
acting up at Sierra Madre City Council meetings. If you’ve ever lived in
Sierra Madre you should go to the March 20 entry of The Tattler and check
one out. You might be in it.
Which leads us to the present, and a story that ran in several Encinitas
weeklies. Apparently they all share the same reporter. “Mosca announces
he won’t run again for Encinitas City Council: Encinitas City Councilman Joe
Mosca will not seek another term in office, he announced at the March 16
council meeting.”
Deja vu? Again? I asked a politically connected Encinitas resident what’s up
with this. The reply: “Mosca certainly would have encountered an
absolutely brutal campaign going up against a respected Planning
Commissioner, someone who knows the code and fights for residents.
Joe’s reputation in Encinitas, and especially in his district, is one of favoring
over-development. Specifically burdening his district, mostly horse country
having wildfire evacuation issues already, with the high-density 283-unit
Goodson project, which spawned the citizens group Encinitas RRD.”
Joe and his development issues. They follow him wherever he may roam.
My poetic informant then added this:
“Joe never stops talking. The endless thanking of city staff (who often get
things wrong at resident expense) is mind-blowing. His revisions of history
are outright lies and he has no shame telling them, straight-faced, to people
11/12/23, 11:16 PMPage 3 of 4
knowing better.”
Can it be that Mosca has simply worn everybody in Encinitas out? Certainly
this wouldn’t be the first time.
But is it really the end of Joe? Is there going to be a third town? As one
prognosticator on my site opined, “My guess is he will move to El Centro,
and run for their City Council as Jose Mosca.”
