Association of Governments (SANBAG) have joined together to evaluate and consider formation of
an aggregation of government agencies for acquisition of electric power generation; and

formally recommends formation of a power pool aggregation, establishes a schedule and budget for
the defined work tasks, and eatends an invitation to governmental agencies within the organizational
boundazies to participate; and

$150,000 and a tiered cost sharing formula has been developed to distribute the cost among
participating agencies; and

their initial investment back from the first savings achieved under the program.
