Attachment 1: Project Information
Occidental Petroleum (Oxy), a leading producer of traditional energy resources, and its subsidiary Oxy Low
Carbon Ventures (OLCV) have recently formed a joint venture with private equity firm Rusheen Capital
Management to finance and deploy large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology licensed from Carbon
Engineering, a clean energy company focused on the commercialization of DAC technology, which
captures carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
The purpose of the joint venture, named 1PointFive, will be to further OLCV’s commitment to reducing
the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by advancing and accelerating carbon capture,
utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies and projects around the world. The significance of the name
1PointFive is the joint venture’s mission to achieve climate stabilization and limit global warming to 1.5°C
(of which DAC technology is a critical component). Oxy and OLCV will be providing significant financial,
operational, and engineering resources to 1PointFive.
As the combined corporate entity for OLCV and its partners’ proposed investment, 1PointFive is planning
the development of a DAC facility that would produce industrial-grade carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for its
own use, as well as the use of other potential off-takers with similar commercial applications. The DAC
facility will be built in or near one of several United States energy basins in which Oxy operates, within
reasonable proximity to its existing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, accessible pipeline
infrastructure, and sufficient electric, natural gas, and water utilities.
The new DAC facility (the Project) would be the first full-scale commercialization of Carbon Engineering’s
DAC technology anywhere in the world. The Project combines the operational expertise of Oxy and OLCV,
and the innovative technology of Carbon Engineering to capture and permanently remove carbon dioxide
directly from the atmosphere. The high-quality CO2 product manufactured by the DAC facility would be
used as industrial gas feedstock by Oxy in their traditional energy production process, specifically through
downhole injection at their existing EOR sites, to permanently sequester high volumes of carbon dioxide
in underground geological storage. Carbon Engineering’s proprietary DAC technology is specifically
designed to be deployed at a much larger scale than other DAC designs currently operating and
demonstrates a significant advantage over less cost-competitive DAC technology developers and facilities.
The proven DAC technology used by the Project would manufacture a continuous stream of high-quality
carbon dioxide gas through the process of heating, treating, and compressing atmospheric air using only
carbon-free renewable electricity, natural gas, and water as system inputs. Using large fans to draw in
ambient air, the system would use two principal chemical loops and industrial processing units to extract
and purify the carbon dioxide components of the air input. The DAC system’s two chemical loops are a
caustic carbon dioxide capture loop and a solids carbon dioxide purification loop, operated by the carbon
dioxide capture and caustic recovery equipment. The closed loop design effectively diminishes the need
for material removal and make-up, as the products of each reaction become a reagent for another
reaction within the DAC process. The major output streams of the DAC system are compressed CO2 (for
utilization) and CO2-depleted air (discharged into the surrounding atmosphere).
There are four major process components associated with the proposed DAC facility:
• Air Contactor
• Pellet Reactor
• Pellet Calciner
• Slaker/Hydrator
Additional Project components would include, but not be limited to the following:
• Pellet Separator and Washing • Pumps
• Pellet Dryer • Electrical and Instrumentation Controls
• CO2 Purifier and Compressor • Piping
• Cooling System • Water Treatment Facility
• Compressors • Buildings
• Evaporators
The construction of the plant would include site preparation and earthworks, installation of foundations and supports,
fabrication of major equipment and transportation to site, integration of modules and interconnecting works (i.e.
piping, electrical, controls), erection of buildings and support infrastructure, utility interconnections, commissioning
and start-up, production ramp-up, and handover to operations.
There is currently no existing industrial-scale, commercialized deployment of Carbon Engineering’s DAC technology
deployed anywhere in the world. Once constructed, 1PointFive’s Project would become the world’s largest DAC facility
and carbon capture operation, processing and permanently sequestering approximately 500 kilotons of atmospheric
CO2 per year. The Project would also represent the first significant application for the coupling of DAC technology and
EOR operations in the United States. The pairing of DAC technology and CO2 sequestration through EOR operations
would be a significant environmental commitment for the energy industry, providing a pathway for reduced carbon
emissions from traditional energy production and the realization of an economically viable model for significant
anthropogenic CO2 sequestration through EOR operations.
The Project and its DAC technology deployment are expected to fundamentally alter the energy landscape by providing
a pathway to decarbonize major carbon-emitting industries like fuel production, transportation, and construction. CO2
credits generated by the plant would be sold into regulated markets like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS)
market, as a low-carbon liquid fuel or as emissions offsets directly to corporations committed to decarbonization.
Currently, low carbon fuel initiatives are being enacted all over the world, including major markets such as the United
States’ west coast, Canada, and South America. With countries, industries, and companies continuously looking to
offset their CO2 emissions, it is anticipated that by 2050 the carbon removal industry will be as large as the oil & gas
industry is today.

Consider Award of Professional Service Agreement to Landgraf Crutcher and Associates for designing
waterline replacements in Crane Avenue and a 12" waterline from El Paso Avenue to N. Jackson Avenue
for a total cost of $289,284.00.

Design services are needed for the following projects:
Crane Avenue has multiple waterlines placed in the late 1940's in need of replacement prior to
reconstruction of the roadway. Design cost of $120,820.00.
The 12" Waterline from El Paso Avenue to N. Jackson Avenue is cast iron and in poor condition. This line
was placed in the 1950's and is highly deteriorated. We experience routine water line failures on this
segment of line. Design cost of $168,475.00.
Funding from the Water fund Repair and Replacement account is available.
Staff recommends award of PSA to Landgraf, Crutcher and Associates.

Consider a resolution suspending Oncor's Intent to Increase Rates within the City of Odessa.
(RESOLUTION)
SUMMARY
On Friday, May 13, 2022, Oncor filed a Statement of Intent to Increase Rates with all cities in its service
area. Oncor is seeking to increase rates by approximately $251 million over rates currently in place, or
approximately 4.5% over present revenues. Residential customers would see an 11.2% increase in rates.
If approved, a residential customer using 1,300 kWh per month would see a bill increase of about $6.02
per month. Additionally, the Company proposes to increase street lighting rates by 1.6%.
The rate increase requested by Oncor will become effective on June 17, 2022, unless the city takes action
to suspend the effective date. By statute, cities are permitted to extend the effective date by up to 90 days
in order to study the filing. The city must take action to suspend the effective date by June 17, 2022 or the
rate will go in to effect.
Approval of this resolution suspends the proposed increase from ONCOR and allows for the consulting
with the 169 city Steering Committee for review of the filing.

RE: Oncor Electric Delivery Company's Statement of Intent to Increase Rates Suspension
Packet
ACTION REQUIRED TO SUSPEND THE EFFECTIVE DATE BY JUNE 17, 2022
On Friday, May 13, 2022, Oncor filed a Statement of Intent to Increase Rates with all cities in its
service area that retain original jurisdiction. The Company is seeking to increase rates by approximately
$251 million over rates currently in place, or approximately 4.5% over present revenues. Residential
customers would see an 11.2% increase in rates. If approved, a residential customer using 1,300 kWh per
month would see a bill increase of about $6.02 per month. Additionally, the Company proposes to
increase street lighting rates by 1.6%.
The rate increase requested by Oncor will become effective on June 17, 2022, unless the city
takes action to suspend the effective date. By statute, cities are permitted to extend the effective date by
up to 90 days in order to study the filing. The city must take action to suspend the effective date by
June 17, 2022. If your city does not have a regular council meeting scheduled before June 17th or is
otherwise unable to take action on the suspension resolution June 17th, please contact us as soon as
possible.
Attached to this memo is a model suspension resolution and staff report. In the past, Oncor local
managers have provided cities with a model denial resolution and may recommend that the city
immediately deny the rate request. If this occurs, we do not recommend that you deny the request at this
time. Suspending the effective date allows cities more time to review the application and decide on the
final action, including settlement or denial of Oncor's requested rate increase.
The Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor will discuss Oncor’s rate request at the
quarterly meeting on June 2, 2022. During the call there will also be an opportunity for Steering
Committee members to discuss strategy with Steering Committee consultants and attorneys.
