Manager position. The new position will be responsible for the
evaluation of all resources, power purchases, California ISO operation
coordination, public benefits programs, administration of contract,
forecasting, and the operation and maintenance of the Malburg
Generating Station.
It is hereby recommended that the Amendment to Resolution No. 8007 be
approved and adopted.

TO: Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator
FROM: Kenneth J. DeDario, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Bulk Power Responsibilities
Per our conversation following is a discussion concerning some changes I am
recommending for the Utilities Department.
Because of the difficulty in finding a qualified individual for the Assistant Director of
Resource Management position and with the impending commercial operation of the
Malburg Generating Station (MGS), I have considered various alternatives to cover all
the responsibilities required. With that in mind, I offer the following proposal.
Create a position called Bulk Power Manager (see attached job description) at the level of
the Senior Civil Engineer (see attached salary scale) which would report to Jorge
Somoano, Deputy Director of Utilities. This position would replace the Assistant
Director of Resource Management position anwould be responsible for all the existing
bulk power responsibilities such as: evaluation o a - resources, power purchases,
California ISO operation coordination, public benefits programs, administration of
contracts, forecasting, and the operation and maintenance of the MGS when it becomes
commercial.
To accomplish the above, I recommend the following effective immediately:
Create a Bulk Power Manager position,
• eliminate the Assistant Director of Resource Management Position,
• advertise internally only and L--
• interview any qualified internal candidates and interested qualified candidates who
have applied for the Assistant Director of Resource Management position.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration.
