Background - What is a SIF?
In working towards a power plan Council staff relies heavily on its advisory committees to provide input and direction. On occasion, there may be topics that need to be discussed across multiple advisory committees. In hopes to limit redundancy or confusion by having separate discussions the Council seeks to bring together affected committees into a combined meeting called a System Integration Forum (SIF).
SIF's are called on an ad hoc basis when topics that would benefit from a combined meeting come to the forefront.
