Item 14: Communication to Commissioner Hadden re Line Clearance From: Vice, Jeffrey (Jeff) Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2020 4:00 PM To: Hadden, Karen - BC <bc-Karen.Hadden@austintexas.gov> Cc: 'Hopkins, Marty' <martyhopkins@eversheds-sutherland.com>; Hopkins, Marty - BC <BC- Marty.Hopkins@austintexas.gov>; 'Karen Hadden' <karendhadden@gmail.com> Subject: EUC Follow-up Commissioner Hadden, At the EUC’s last meeting, during the Future Agenda Items discussion, you requested 1) some additional information/responses to questions re line clearance and herbicidal use; and 2) an update regarding electrification of the heavy-duty vehicles in the Austin Energy fleet (e.g., bucket trucks). Chair Hopkins and I reviewed the agenda for September, noting that it contained a briefing you had previously requested (from Office of Sustainability), as well as a long-delayed update on the SHINES project (requested by Commissioner Tuttle)…plus the 3rd Quarter Financial Report postponed from last meeting. Recognizing that this month we wouldn’t be able to take up your two concerns above, we wanted to 1) provide you with information that I hope will satisfy your request for additional information re line clearance…and 2) explain that we will schedule a fleet electrification update in the months to come (the last update was provided to EUC Nov 2019). Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Best, Jeff Herbicide Use in Line Clearance Activities a) Treatment or removal of dead vines information is located on the Austin Energy Website Tree Pruning (https://austinenergy.com/ae/residential/residential-services/tree-pruning/tree-pruning) FAQs section (https://austinenergy.com/ae/residential/residential-services/tree-pruning/faqs) regarding vines on utility poles (snap shot attached). In light of your concerns, we intend to change the verbiage from “treat” to “apply an EPA-approved herbicide to the base of the vine.” To clarify, AE/AE’s contractors will remove only vines from poles and not the remaining dead vines that may stretch out along a fence or into surrounding flora. b) You thought perhaps there was a prohibition of pesticide use at the City of Austin; we could not locate any such policy banning pesticide or herbicide use. Rather, the City maintains an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan (http://www.austintexas.gov/ipm) which is included in Austin Energy’s forestry contract solicitations (language excerpt provided below). 1 NOTE: The Contractor shall be responsible for all record keeping regarding pesticide application as required by the TDA Rules and Regulations and the City’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. The Contractor shall abide by the City’s IPM plan when using any general use chemicals, including fertilizer, herbicide or other chemicals, and shall obtain written approval …

The thermal storage element enables Austin Energy to shift electrical consumption from on-peak to off-peak periods. Austin Energy owns and operates three district energy and cooling systems serving the Downtown Central Business District, the Domain, and the Mueller Redevelopment Zone. The project is to construct a new 6,000-ton Chilled Water Plant (including thermal storage) with an estimated design and construction budget of $15,600,000 to meet the cooling needs of the new Austin Energy Headquarters building, a new medical office building, expansion of the Dell Children’s Hospital and other new customers as they arise. Austin Energy will connect the plant to the existing chilled water distribution piping in the Mueller Redevelopment Zone.
