Mapping of Tribal Territories and Boundaries Will Be Discussed

Dear Tribal Partner:

You are cordially invited to attend the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Tribal OIR Workshop and Consultations on January30th and 31st, 2024 from 9:30am-5:30pm at the Jamul Casino, in the Prime Cut Steak & Seafood Restaurant, 14145 Campo Road, Jamul, CA 91935.

The workshop on January 30th and consultations on January31st are opportunities for Tribal Leaders to discuss and provide comments and recommendations regarding CPUC’s Tribal Land Transfer Policy (TLTP) – staff proposal for revision and Tribal Consultation Policy (TCP). The input received will assist the CPUC in furthering the goals of the TLTP, promote improved government-to-government relationships between the CPUC and California Tribes, as well as improve capacity building and access for Tribal participation in CPUC proceedings and programs.  

CPUC staff will provide an overview of the current TLTP and the proposed revisions to the policy at the workshop.  Tribal leaders and representatives from investor-owned utilities will provide perspective on their experience with the policy and there will be an opportunity for an open dialogue where tribal leaders and party representatives may provide comment or ask questions.

Thank you. If you plan on attending the January 30thworkshop, please RSVP to TribalAdvisor@cpuc.ca.gov. If you have any questions, please contact the CPUC’s Tribal Advisor Kenneth Holbrook at Kenneth.holbrook@cpuc.ca.gov.
