Here's my proposal for how we cover siting issues for Dave P. and Sam W. in
California. Let me know your response to the discussion and clarify as
necessary. I want to send this to Dave and Sam ASAP.

Legislative activity:

? Issues that affect generation owners and operators: We will rely primarily
on IEP and only take a position on legislation or administrative activity
that uniquely affects us. (Mirant, Southern, AES, etc. have a greater
interest in these issues that we do, given our business plan). [Model is
legislative and adminstrative effort to change basis for taxing power
plants.]
? Issues that affect siting or project development: We will rely primarily
on IEP, but will proceed with legislative proposals that have a high value to
Enron. [Model is the effort that Mike Day has engaged in--i.e., drafting
legislation to consolidate conflicting administrative action on siting, etc.]
? Primary point of contact within Government Affairs: Susan Mara
? Primary point of contact in Sacramento: Scott Govenar


Administrative activity--CEC, CARB, etc.:

? Primary point of contact on environmental issues: Mary Schoen.
? Primary point of contact if high level contacts need to be made within the
agencies: Susan Mara. Our lobbyists have the ability to make these high
level contacts on our behalf--particularly the Governmental Advocates firm.
[From time to time it may be necessary to contact the CEC to expedite permit
writing, etc.]

Local agency/community affairs activities:

? Primary point of contact for issues that arise from local concerns that may
require legislation: Susan Mara. [Model on this issue is the Williamson Act
legislation. The issue and solution was identified at the local level. The
solution required legislation, which was then promoted in Sacramento. GA
acted to coordinate the efforts.]
