Transmission Agency of Northern California
General Manager
Transmission Agency of Northern California, Sacramento, California, United States, 95828
A statewide recruitment is underway to identify top candidates (or private firms) to serve as the General Manager (via contract agreement) of a Joint Powers Authority that provides electric transmission to its Member Agencies. The General Manager reports directly to the TANC Commission and receives policy guidance from the Commission. The annual budget is in excess of $33 million. This position requires the GM to be extremely hands-on in running the JPA in support of the Commission, oversight of contracts, and agenda management. The selected candidate (or firm) will work remotely. Commission and Committee meetings will be held in Northern California.
The TANC Commission will provide a contractual agreement with the selected individual (requires residency in Northern California) that will be structured in one of three ways: directly contracting as a self-employed consultant (#1099); creation of a new entity by the GM to provide the services (i.e., Limited Liability Corporation); or employment through a Third-Party entity (i.e., TANC member Agency or affiliated agency).
Important to note, TANC is not designated to have any direct employees or provide benefits. Interested parties should be aware that the JPA is
not
a CalPERS agency. Additionally, based on recent rulings in California, it is no longer advised for partner agencies (including JPAs) to rely on inter-agency MOUs and agreements due to retirement plan issues. For this reason, this contractual structure for engaging the TANC’s General Manager is being sought. Interested candidates or firms should apply by submitting a compelling cover letter and comprehensive resume to
