for the purchasing, using, or selling of revenue-producing facilities, including electric
generating and transmitting facilities, as well as other supporting programs such as
scheduling and dispatch services and legislative advocacy services; and
WHEREAS, NCPA's Strategic Plan highlights the importance of using the
resources of the Agency to recruit new members and to provide services to non-Agency
members; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shasta Lake, California has submitted an application for
NCPA membership that complies with the Minimum Screening Criteria of NCPA's New
Member Policy that was approved by the NCPA Commission on February 25, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the NCPA Legislative and Regulatory Affairs Committee has voted to
recommend that the City of Shasta Lake become a member of the agency; and
