Discussion
Welcome to Lauren Mersich from Platte River Power Authority for
listening in on the Executive Meeting today.
Jonathan Liepe opened the discussion on Executive Sponsorship
and should we have sponsorship from multiple organizations or
across the state?
o All agreed at least one sponsor
o Multiple sponsors are advantageous to have particularly if
they have different roles
o They can communicate within/across Utility companies
o Help us to remove roadblocks and issues
o Assist in getting Governor’s Proclamation for Energy Week
o EC agree we need more than one Executive Sponsorship
Jonathan Liepe mentioned that he has someone in mind to discuss
becoming an Executive Sponsor who recently relocated from
California to Colorado.
Bev Brown spoke about Steve Mills from Xcel Energy who has
accepted one of the two Executive Sponsorship roles. Steve is
unable to attend the April 15
th
meeting but will start attending
meetings thereafter.
The expectation is that the Executive Sponsors drop into meetings
and appear with regularity at the face-to-face meetings.
Action items Person responsible Deadline
Pursue candidate for Executive Sponsor Jonathan Liepe June, 2015
2. Agenda item Strategic Plan Overview
Discussion Ray Kelly provided an excellent overview of the Strategic Plan and explained to the EC that
it contains all the work we have put together thus far. It is still a work in progress but the
goal is to send the document out to the Consortia group prior to our April 15th
meeting so
they can digest it and be prepared to provide input at the April 15th
meeting.
Ray stressed that the Executive Committee has ownership of the Strategic Plan and, as it’s
a living document, will still have the ability/responsibility to tweak it.
Ray asked that EC members finish their review and comments by 3/30 so he can finalize
THIS version and Lynn can send it to the Consortia group on 4/1.
