Dear Friends:
Sebastopol has asked for a moratorium on Smart Meters twice. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is currently evaluating a Smart Meter opt-out program that includes communities. However, recently PG&E has been installing Smart Meters in Sebastopol.
Do you want to see the City Council take a stronger stand against PG&E and ban Smart Meters Sebastopol, like they've been banned by a dozen other California communities including Fairfax, Santa Cruz, and Ojai?
Come to the Sebastopol city council meeting on Tuesday February 19 at the Teen center. *Arrive around 8 pm. The Sebastopol City Council needs to see new faces and hear from more people on this issue!
The council has been asked to take the following three actions which are recommended by Fairfax councilman Larry Bragman. Fairfax has had more success in keeping PG&E Smart Meters out of Fairfax.
- Have the city attorney send a strong message to CPUC President Michael Peevey, ALJ Amy Yip-Kikugawa, and PG&E regarding stopping Smart Meter installation is Sebastopol.
- Adopt an emergency ordinance, banning Smart Meters.
- Adopt a community opt-out resolution.
