Project Location — Specific: Los Altos Hills, California (Town -wide)
Project Location - City: Town of Los Altos Hills Project Location - County: Santa Clara

Aggregation Program ("Program"), pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 366.2.
The Program will provide electric generation services to its customers with the goals
of providing greater choice for power providers electric rates that are competitive
with those provided by the incumbent utility, increased renewable energy generation
lower greenhouse gas reductions and increased energy conservation and efficiency
projects and pro _ ams.
Name of Public Agency Approving Project: Town of Los Altos Hills
Name of Person or Agency Carrying Out Project: Town of Los Altos Hills
Exempt Status: (check one)
—Ministerial (Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268);
Declared Emergency (Sec. 21080(b)(3); 15269(a));
_ Emergency Project (Sec. 21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c));
X Categorical Exemption. State type and section number: Not a Project (Section 15378(a)); No Possibility of
Impact (Section 15061(b)(3)); Actions by RegulatoryAgencies for the Protection of the Environment Class 8
(Section 15308)
_ Statutory Exemptions. State code number:
Reasons why project is exempt: Not a Project (Sec. 15378(a)): The implementation of a Community Choice
Aggregation Program is not a "Project" as that term is defined by CEQA as the
transfer of electricity services from one provider to another is not an action that
has the potential for resulting in a direct physical change in the environment or
a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment The
adoption of the implementing ordinance does not approve the construction of
any new facilities.
File#: 19866 212512016
Reasons why project is exempt: No possibility of Impact (Sec. 15061(b)(3)): If the implementation of the
Program is a "Proi ect" as defined by CEQA it is not subj ect to CEQA pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). CEQA applies only to projects that
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment The
implementation of the Program simply transfers utility service from the
incumbent utility to a Joint Powers Authority. Therefore it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that this action would have a significant
effect on the environment and the Program is not subject to CEQA
Action by a Regulatory Agency to Protect the Environment (Sec 15308) Since
the Program's principle objectives are to implement increased renewable energy_
supplies and energy conservation and efficiency programs for the benefit of
achieving reduced greenhouse gas emissions thereby protecting the
environment. Therefore, implementation of the Program is also categorically
exempt as a regulatory action taken to protect the environment pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308.
