Capital Program Realignment: Staff Recommendation for Paused Actions September Executive Committee 9/10/20
Why we are here Staff recommendations regarding paused actions • Address any questions raised from project information distributed on behalf of Chair Keel • Staff recommendations regarding which paused actions to advance this fall • Committee discussion • No actions today 2
Path forward Criteria: Comprehensive framework for program discussion realignment Q3/Q4 2020 June Board July ’21 Board Construction and project development plans through 2021 3
Context for staff recommendations Consideration of paused actions not final realignment decisions • Changes necessary because of COVID-19 will be determined by Board’s July 2021 realignment decisions. However, the Board does need to decide this fall which project actions to advance • Continue progress on expansion program • Better inform realignment decisions next year 4
Basis for staff recommendations Staff recommendations are practical in nature Analysis focused on: • Which near-term actions we believe can help inform the Board in making realignment choices next year; • Which projects could benefit from waiting for more updated information to yield better informed decisions next year; • Avoiding any presupposing of the decisions the Board might make next year; and • Ensuring that none of the recommended Board actions this fall would lock the Board into any subsequent decision next year 5
