Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) today [May 13] announced that it is seeking committed applicants for its volunteer Community Advisory Council (CAC). There is currently one open seat representing San Luis Obispo County; one seat representing the Monterey County and one seat for San Benito County will be vacant as of June 6. The CAC is an advisory body to 3CE’s Policy and Operations Boards and CAC members serve as important connections to the diverse communities 3CE serves. CAC members serve three-year terms.
“The Community Advisory Council provides important advice and feedback on staff recommendations” said Catherine Stedman, 3CE’s Chief Communications Officer, “and serves as an integral link between our agency and the communities we serve.”
The key goals of 3CE are to:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
- Stabilize and reduce customer electricity rates; and
- Utilize energy programs to stimulate local economy and accelerate electrification.
3CE will provide a list of all CAC member applicants by geography, skills, and association, along with copies of all completed applications, to be reviewed by a selection committee. The selection committee is comprised of 3CE Policy board members who serve in the county of the CAC vacancies. The selection committee will present its recommendations to the Policy Board for approval on June 26, 2024. The deadline for applications is May 31, 2024.
