A group of nine environmental and political nonprofits wants the San Diego City Council to hold a proceeding to potentially disqualify San Diego Gas & Electric from bidding on the city’s electric and gas franchise agreements because of a legal dispute between the city and the utility over a water recycling project.
“Our request is for a full-fledged discussion as an informational item so the facts are heard,” said Sonja Robinson, program manager for the Protect Our Communities Foundation, one of the organizations that sent a letter to all nine members of the city council. “And if it is determined that SDG&E is in breach over the material terms of the franchise agreement, then it is within the city of San Diego’s municipal code to debar them.”
