Call To Order

The meeting was called to order at 8:45 a.m.

Welcome & Introductions

Karen Reed welcomed everyone to the meeting and began with a review and approval of the agenda. The agenda was approved.

Approval of Minutes

Karen asked the Panel to take a few minutes to review the September 1st draft meeting minutes. These minutes had more detail than previous minutes and she asked the Panel about their preference on format in the future – i.e. more detailed minutes or a simpler version. The Committee agreed that shorter version with high level notes would be more suitable. Karen asked for a motion to approve the September 1st minutes. A motion to approve was made by Matt Lyons and seconded by David Allen. All were in favor and the motion carried unanimously.

Presentations / Information

Stan Price recapped the meetings he and Eugene Wasserman had with the Mayor’s Office and the Superintendent. The meetings went well and the consensus was that everyone was impressed with the quality of the Review Panel and their input and feedback was highly valued. The Mayor’s office staff indicated that they intend to remain connected to the strategic planning process as it develops, and re- iterated that they wanted to support the Panel in getting any support needed.

Karen spent a few minutes discussing the Review Panel tracking matrix and provided follow up commentary on items from earlier meetings.

Phil Leiber addressed the group and discussed some of the highlights contained in City Light’s July financial report.

City Light Review Panel Meeting Meeting Minutes

Phil Leiber gave a presentation on City Light’s Financial Policies.

Karen introduced a proposed 5-stage workplan for developing the strategic plan over the next several months. The plan is designed to fully engage the SCL E-Team, Review Panel, and the Mayor and Council and their staffs. It calls for the plan to be completed next April or May. The Panel supported the workplan as proposed, particularly the “interactive process” incorporated such that the Review Panel can review and provide feedback on write-ups of the E-Team deliberations (“Think Pieces” or “Discussion Drafts”) as they are produced. The Panel also agreed that individual Review Panel members could offer “advance” comment on items to the E_Team, via Karen, in a filtered format. The October meeting will include a presentation of the first of the “Think Pieces”.

DaVonna Johnson, City Light’s Human Resources Officer, provided a presentation on the Workforce Plan.

Issues/Action Items

The Panel asked if they might be able to see projected capital expenditures forecast over the next six years.

The issue was raised about Seattle City Light’s labor contracts. The Committee thought that this topic should warrant future discussion in strategic planning because Seattle City Light does not negotiate its own labor contracts.

Adjournment

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
