call the order of regular meeting of public utilities commission today's date is tuesday, october 13, 2015, roll call please. commissioner president caen commissioner vietor commissioner moran coordinating commissioner moran vice president we have a quorum approval of the minutes of the minutes of september 22nd additions, deletions, or changes to the minutes seeing none, may i have a motion. >> so moved. >> >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? that motion carries we also have the minutes of september 25, 2015, the joint meeting of lafco and puc any additions or corrects. >> move approve

>> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? that motion carries at this point, i'm calling for public comment on any item not on the agenda i see a card from ann clark. >> hello ann she also has good news. >> i do have good news i am here on behalf of the friends at camp mather for the staff for the support and advise you gave to us for a family friend day on september 2nd of we really had a terrific family fun day a lot of people there i want to also comment that sfpuc was next to the fire truck and sfpuc notch of them what is a bounce ball next to the bounce house was a table and they brought pictures

for kids to color that table with all the kids around it and the bounce i didn't house that table was full of kids all day long they loved it they loved the coloring and the pictures and they behaved wonderfully that was really exciting to see the little ones with such fun in a good way was nice thank you to harlan and others that came and supported us and let you, you know that was really, really, really a fun family day thank you very much for your help. >> good i'm glad it here it i'm sure the parents were happy they were involved that the fun any other public comment before

we move on. >> item 5 communications. >> i didn't thank you madam president a couple of things one on the report on the 525 golden gate building the status of i'd like to probe a little bit deeper than the memo went i right hand lane reporting on the performance of leading elements is not part of the certification we did it to get the right thing thing i'm interested and sounds like from the memo a series of studies and reviews that are take place on the living machine

that will produce an in depth analysis in the not too distance future within the other elements the solar panels and my understanding is they're working as anticipated and indicating that is probably beyond pilot stage pretty much predictable and wind turbines are a different story and what i understand is that what the memo said basically, that's been shut down for survivalist issues and performance issues i understand one of the things the company that made those has gone bankrupt and so it at proprietaryy contract we're not in the position to maintain them

they're a a lot of lessons i'll be interested to knowing what they are when the wind turbines every produce power before they were shut down did they live up to the expectation and what did we learn about the process and technology and what how to make those lessons known to people despite that is a followup item on the part of the living machine i'd like addressed in the reports that come forward my understanding we expected that we would produce a lot of excess water and could use that water for irrigating the civic center plaza and projecting forward that in an area like downtown you didn't need every building to have those intelligence if you could have enough of them they could share the water they produced and get good coverage

they're looking at spending money trying to figure out how to get water into the purple pipe systems that should be installed there this was one way to accomplish that it appears i'm going from - it appears we're producing. >> bunch ever water not using the building we're not producing the surplus my indication we've learned in that process also my understanding that in the design of the buildings because we thought to whether be a surplus of water we made decisions about the water things walk waterless urinals from the result of that technology or not as much water coming out of that the residual

the conservatism and that you shouldn't rule out supervisor scott wiener features and fixtures because you think you have enough water to handle it we'll get beyond those are the kinds of lessons i was hoping to have recorded and to look for a forum the architecture community should know that and the building community should know those things i'm looking for another addition and make sense to wait for the living machinery reports we owe it to the people that pay for the projects to do a better report. >> then on the construction contract award summary i haven't had a chance to look at the information i'd asked for that

information because the one of the fundamental management benchmarks for the san francisco public utilities commission contracting process we would monitor performance against engineering estimates this data says the engineering estimates have been used are growth measure and certainly not something you'll use a financial management tool and my understanding is that we're planning on doing a different kind of cost estimate that is important to recognize as we go to different contracting methods use different ways of managing we need to make sure the metrics we're using are having up to the protection that are appropriate

that's one as we get into how we manage those contract not just the ordinance but how we chose as an organization we need to keep in mind that's my comments. >> i have a comment on the building on the building i also love to see comparison you know the bullet center in seattle they've been saying they're the green it commercial building in the country and it would be nice to have a little bit of comparison not two in depth but to see if their systems are perform in the this is a and by comparison what we're doing lessons learned exercise not too deep of a dive but in the shirt of sharing with the architecture field the envelope that was one of the intentions a little bit of comparison and similar types of buildings.

>> you know it is an excellent point you also have oath building right there. >> (laughter). i know that organization would be happy to serve as a benchmark >> i had a question about the emergency sister tenors and he can't recall i think that aren't we using portal a water for this water supply i'm wondering if this is a conversation we can reopen and tie to the non-political work we're doing and the ordinance wools be rolling out i know there is probably health and political issues but smells now is the best time when we're in a drought to voluntary that conversation and transition a portion of that water to non-port

non-portal. >> there's a lot of i'd like to thinks before we start engaging folks and how we deal with stormwater and so the question how do you use a combined system or have a speculate system we need to get the grips the issue to use our combined sewer system as part of you know the a w s system we are planning to build a recycled facility at oceanside which we passed the eir we're definitely moving forward and the level we're going to straight r treat it of one of the highest levels with asbestos so we need a time we need how to plan around it

most expensive part is transportation of our moving water with the purple that is my understanding as you imagine digging up in san francisco is really a challenge so not only that we're looking on the side if we want to be a power provider we need to talk about how we actually have extra capacity so this is something for sure we probably need to come up with a plan how we are planning to treat that as one water because that is the concept we're moving towards yeah, and go back on the comment of c n g c we would like to give you anymore information the missing piece moving in that direction when the engineering

estimates we're engineers and contractor that are building that are ideals how to save that's what i'm interested and have you know a third party practices but we can go through that as far as the building is concerned when we talk about 525 talk about the leading edge and i'll say the wind turbines is the leading edge i think one of the concerns once we start bringing the company in they went out of business and do we stale it e.r. not we felt we can continue i think the point we definitely have a lot of lessons learned but we'll have the whole shape the fad that maximize the wind velocity and i did a

process who can take advantage the slope of the side of the building to generate power i feel that the way that the wind it is your baselines are concerned they need to be engineered better than today so we'll go back and take a step back as far as the water concern there is some challenges with the water urinals and the carriage that is there is caused a problem that is high and a lot of you know chemicals so we choose the waters because we felt there was enough water and then with the excess water we'll water maybe the city hall or something like that i think the challenge is that the cost of bringing our pipes to city hall

versus how much water becomes a problem so what i think this is all new information that helps inform us when we start talking about other projects we had to try it out first so i think we would love to go back and say to the original assumptions and summary something higher and the cost of actually bringing it to the where we thought would he would be we'll definitely work on that. >> i appreciate that let me be very clear i think your point those r were experiments and test we went farther most people 0 would go further than most people would go we had an opportunity but the fact it didn't perform according to our expectation is not a ding we the

ding we didn't tell people what we learned so i'm anxiety to get those out with the respect to the excess tenocisterns we're tt going to direct portal reuse and the standard that will be protective of firefighters health and might be good to get a definition how good it needs to get that's a design criteria to make better use. >> that's right to get a sense in this one water roll out or whatever the timing that of those sister tenocisterns.

>> we like a system where water can move around we have issues with the sewers with a large volume and the drought 33 very little water goes through them in the sense we've been push conservatism and a lot of water is not moving the solids it will be nice to flush it there are a lot of issues to use more water but be more efficient the main thing it would be hard to to the projects from going along we should think of ways to be nice to not tie-in with the cisterns but the water use throughout it city at a higher level of recycled water is

another approach i definitely welcome that that we look at how we can make the city use water. >> okay. >> any other comments? >> any comments from the public yes gary. >> good afternoon, commissioners eric brooks i'm with the sustainability chair at the san francisco green party and on the water chapter sierra club excuse me. >> and i wanted to point out a couple of things on the last item you mentioned in the countries like australia that had severe drought cisterns are a crucial part of the keystone to the drought storing water instead of letting it run through the ocean is crucial the

do idea we need to not store water is counterintuitive to me i know we've not done test projects we must a few years ago i pushed age and your head of wastewater enterprise did a great report on compost toilets take the solids out of system this commission do nothing about that report we need test pilots those involved separating the urine part of waste from the other waste it a better methodology for a low flush or no flush urinals and no toilets i'll urge we get series about the test programs done for

compost toilets in the urban area we need to initiative and get that off the ground in san francisco just to give you a hypothetical on the numbers if everyone in san francisco used composite instead of a flushing toilet we'll save $5 billion with a b 5 billions gallons a year and completely remove human waste out the system and put them into a composite system a vital next step we'll rocket past australia's and look like the innovators and take the 21st century to repeat we've got to do large sail cisterns in every business in the city to address the state of california thanks.

>> thank you yes. >> i didn't want to jump on the non-restricted portal maybe not a discussion or presentation one minute on is there any challenges with the new ordinance coming online and i think that is a pretty good summary on ask the general manager if things with going according to plan and that is achievable. >> what part do you want - >> the legislation and the non-restricted perpetrated i like that are 10 or 12 projects in the cue that has indications for a host of reasons on the reasons around flushing the systems and revenue generations and all kinds of things and staffing potential to revenue

review the projects but a lot in there a short summary. >> one of the biggest challenges and maybe someone who has been. >> paula back there. >> working on it the wastewater side paula. >> one of the big champions with the new regulations is that basically, we want large buildings to actually treat their wastewater on site so this year definitely continuous but some concerns i mean our system is built so we have operators at the plants now all those decentralized locations which could be problematic if they're not working properly so i on the thing we need to try to moving

in the right direction and carefully because you you know the plant is all of our resources are and it is arguments about the decentralizing and centralizing and taking out you know solids and so i think that is you know our concern if whatever they have is not you know removing the solids as presented or where will they put the solids that's a concern i do feel like the living machine you on the system like that can be something valuable but i think the lessons learned we'll talk about the challenges of the living machine we plugged it in and it didn't work properly but sewer operators that manage our systems and another buildings

they may not have the system and the cost would be we'll work with the office paula did you want to talk about more liv. >> city attorney's office not on the agenda to go into details about the substantive you can schedule something. >> at some point it might be worst and in tandem with the lessons learned but mower of a presentation especially leading up to budget the budget indications. >> are they another any other public comment on this item seeing none, other commissioner business. >> now as you may know i am leaving any position of president today so i had a few things to say i've reflected about what has been going on and

i'm truly proud truly proud that that commission and staff accomplished everything they have. >> first, i want to thank general manager kelly for his leadership on advancing this agency i wanted to thank our city attorney for the work on every single one of the issues as you may know they are i wanted to mention highlights over the past or parts year, of course, the drought we can't forget that and certainly went beyond the aspiration target and exceeding them all this is true of our with wholesale customers as well i want to give credit to the water team for all the hard work and add over the years the proper water management has

certainly showed it as we look at our reservoir as compared to others i'm sorry that nicole is not here i wanted to mention her in the same topic of the drought and her best staff because the campaigns were the same tyrone so get the wonderful job of coordinating the wholesale customers and us not only have we been getting results on the reservoir but moving forward to disif i our water zones and getting construction on the west side expired water faucet we'll continue our process constructing the ground water wells in san francisco and today, we had a press conference to all the progress 16 new wells

for the ground water project as you may know this year's water improvement program is over 90 percent completed in 2002 when the bond issues were passed and things were really in disraw truthfully i thought this was never going to get done and now 90 percent done that's very exciting. >> another milestones was achieved the achievement of over 7 millions save working hours with the training programs and workforce a lot of credit goes to a gm how and director wade now moving to my favorite area

the southeast i was very hesitate about saying this it was endangering but a successful campaign that is what more can i say about i can't read my writing about everyone's i got to get it right your number 2 is our number one got is; right? yeah. it was very catchy and tie responsible for that and i want to tell you something i found out he was a biology major they can't write so how he does so well, maybe you were destined to be a scientist you know how compassionate i am at invest

work and looking at to the project and design and expressed we're not waiting for the large capital projects this year a gm and his wastewater team made the progress ramming sewer inspectors to $150 million i was very much in favor of and very good pieced in the paper about that 3 advertising ones on that side i'll keep a close eye on the sewer and wastewater those we owe the people in the southeast area this year i also wanted to commend the efforts of a gm alice for 15 hundred youth darting around the sfpuc offices we also celebrate some great

financial milestones this year thanks to the adams sandler and his team a successful bond sale for the water system and for the first time we sold revenue bonds to finance the work of our power system that was a plus. >> and i also wanted to recognize transition of our deputy manager most of time we works behind the scenes and many projects involve in the wrong direction i cannot go into details (laughter) but let's say that i'm glad you're on our team michael and given you a new middle name pg&e. >> (laughter). and last but not least watch

talk on the clean power sf the past year we've made the launch of the hierarchy and when you look at the several months we've made progress i want to thank jkd kelly and her staff for completely a lot of work and topnotch puc staffs and launching a successful clean energy program for the entire city >> i having also have every confidence that commission as president and letting this thing out of bag will carry the torch to the finish line you'll be there when it happens. >> i want to recognize donna hood it is the girl that keeps

us running together and on time thank you donna for all the work i've done for me and lastly i want to thank my fellow commissioners for your services people never thank commissioners i've been thanked 5 times in my life you put in a lot of work and care i wanted to tell you that is the best commission i've ever sat on and you're wonderful and i say thank you for your services with that, we're going to have elections so the first i'd like to nomination for vice president. >> madam chair i'd like to nominate commissioner moran for vice president and. >> i accept that nomination. >> any other nominations better not be.

(laughter) >> just one second you know in the haste to side that you didn't officially ask for a second for the record could we identify the person who slooint seconded the motion you i did that was very soft (laughter) thank you. >> so we change seats oh, yes, but before you leave our seats can i speak.

>> yeah. i didn't know when you leave or after you leave but first of all, i wanted to perp say that spending time with you under our wantscy has meant a lot to me as a friend but also as a mentor you told me when andy was in my seat you'd spend 16 hours go over the agenda items thank god for technology with the ipads but been a lot of things we're able to accomplish you went over them but some that are very, very dear to me and one was the cca you were very compassionate about making sure that was affordable you have drilled that in my head even when i called you today reminded me it has to be affordable that's who you are you are about

the budget you'll always be about the budget whether or not our president and the other thing your compassionate about your involvement in the defendanters with her that not able to move the clean water with the water you remember passionate we were doing it so, now we're going to involve you no later than in your president on the commission or not we'll make sure you're involved in those defendantsers and the other thing about our credit rating on the power side basically means we are fundamentally sound and in our power so we can get. >> favorable bond rating it is important so as atology of our appreciation and serve i have a

couple of gifts to give you the first one is talk about the invest defendanters i'd like to give you a photo of d c water the before and after of their defendaigesters there's an article recently a press conference they talked about the power you you know poop to power now that is something we're moving forward and looking at and i think that is going to be a big positive and the other thing we're looking at allergy so have a product to sell we're looking to become a revenue generated enterprise the other things i'd like to give you is your own

gavel i think this 5th imperatively you have one every day of the week but i don't know about saturday and sunday and a box of truthfulness to enjoy in our spare times pass that >> and an honor to serve with you as most of other commissioners know i'll reach out and i think a lot of the commissioners are concerned about a topic i go so you'll always be involved in the ones i've mentioned to you i'm sad to see you go but i'm looking forward to because i'll be talking to you ever other day

but also looking forward to spending time with frankie's can with unfinished business up to speed on the recycling and other things i know you care about i'm looking forward to working with you thank you. >> i wanted to two words of in coming chair thank you for your services on behalf of the commission it is great to serve with you those many years and president and your grace and humor had been hard to follow i'll do my best on behalf of the commission (clapping.) thank you all now the chair

move. >> take my gifts (laughter). >> okay. thank you very much next item please mr. secretary. >> on the report of the general manager. >> did we have public comment on that. >> oh, public comment gentlemen public comment on this item. >> mr. brooks. >> good afternoon. again commissioners so first of all, a quick critical aside on poop to power i've been working on the global warming gases and issues like that for thirty years a scrutinize the poop to power

carefully the way those systems are designed and being destined right now they're actually schneider to increase the production of methane if you look at the climate signs i'll see that is exactly what we don't need recognizing that methane is much more serious than o-2 now to the subject at hand i want to thank commissioner president caen for being under his watch sf clean power has gotten underway we appreciate it in the community for clean power sf having the number one environmental commissioners in the presidency as we launch the program is important and a good sign as

well as the vice president being the number one nuts and bolts how to run it and a really good sign we'll be counting on you mrs. president and mr. vice president to make sure there is no further details and their cut as much as possible i realize the needs for moving forward sensible but comments latter on the details of that but please get our staff to go forward as much as possible on the program and good to see you france confess in the presidency. >> thank you. any others. please call the next line item >> item. report of general

manager. >> so for the first item is drought update steve richie. >> thank you steve richie vaunt general manager for water, please have the slides for information and additional information first of all, the hetch hetchy continues to be fairly folds 73 percent of capability our water bank it one $84,000 feet above what we expected and this is solely because of the conservatism that people achieved and more they've safe down here the more up country's that's a good thing

those are reservoirs around the state they're quite allow people are hoping for more precipitation this year that is 11 percent of capacity and on the merced reservoir and low reservoirs not as well as ours are right now precipitation you can barely see a red slice in the beginning of the chart maybe about a half of inch in the handkerchief in the first four days of the month beginning on october 1st, we got the rain and potential for additional precipitation this weekend it as a start we'll not expect serious precipitation for a month or two but starting out more than zero that's a good thing. >> deliveries continue to be

amazing the demands throughout the summer is 200 millions gallons per day comparing the green with the red line the customers have irrigation it has gone way down people are not using a lot of water only indoor that's a going thing and well below our target and above what our target was here are the individual usage we show this chart for the month of august the 15 lowest yours per capita 13 percent are your customers very low usage so it is much as san francisco all of our customers are pulling their weight and that is shown the totals we have saved collectively 13

billion glances and our goal was 13 we're ahead that paid off with the additional water in the country i want to talk about to things related to the drought one is legislation that was just signed by the governor sb 555 relates to water loss audits that leakage of water from systems is a big topic we've done studies of waterlogs that are more detailed than the routine measures to go through we've done this ever 5 years this is a mandated done annual it so happens we're currently beginning our next water audit to really track down the system we know how much lamenting in the system we called our non-refer water the fire flows

and things of that nature but the leaks is a special subset so understanding our legion rate we should have the result in early 2016 but not mandatory for all water systems of 3 thousand but routing routinely do you imagine we're not sure it is to be necessary to be annually but we'll do it announcing the one other thing we're doing a full scale delivery test interest the cherry aqueduct from 1987 to the drought this is the aqueduct it comes from lake

elsinore and will be at the low water treatment plant plant we expect it there tomorrow and fliflt that to november 12th this is a full scale test to make sure that the ac duck that was damaged in the rim fire and has water to be flibltd bring it down here and filter it and it at the treatment plant and back out of the system to the hetch hetchy supply and expect it to be a successful test on the other hand, like everything we're doing something new and different and things to be learned a photo of lower cherry aqueduct this is about 90 million gallons per day along the hillside that is heading

towards cherry lake in the background and behind the mountain tunnel and be part of our mountain supply a successful test one more taking a look at to deal with the drought i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> commissioners. >> thank you next item. >> next item is an update on the automated teller machine. >> thank you. >> hello julie let km automated teller machine for external affairs we'll pull up the slides too as part of budget planning process that the commission is engaged in there's been a request to review all the agencies policies

to provide updates on the community environmental justice policy as you may know last january the commission got an in depth presentation dying i tying back to the positional and last april the update on the upper pilot program so for the update i'll give a quick refresher on the benefits policy and program and i am sorry to yolanda that will give you a more in depth presentation of that work this is would be a new presentation for you all. >> as you may know the sfpuc is the only one with an virtual policy to the a good neighbor and important to reiterate that the good neighbor policy is really central how we do that in

january when our general manager was asked how much do we spend open community benefits the expense with an operating budget he was trying to errors reinforce that it is embedded into the activity. >> since the presentation last year a couple of things to highlight on the implemented community benefits policy one area if in the contracting so we're now successfully incorporating community benefits into the professional service contracts it get over $5 million and we've been able to leverage over $6 million in candidates from firms like a coming and partisan and w ac hill and others so jacobs big and little jacobs they have partnered with the sfpuc making financial and in kind contributions as part of

professional services contract we're excited since january we've been looking at putting those opportunities into into procurement contracts and on the construction see when per putting out contracts to be ultimate delivery method that we would look at opportunity to put community benefits languages into the rfp you'll hear in the general manager presentation on the education and youth employment work that continues to grow and reach for students and young people throughout san francisco we're very excited about and as we look at the communities benefits work now we're in year 3 it is very clear we're having an impact and the community benefits and donna provided a hardcopy of the community policy there are 10 different areas that the commission excluded in the policy around the impacts for

the workforce and economic development and community participation and engagement and all of those areas we've begun to track the disclose or not disclose amazes and amounts and the individuals we reach and last january we talked about talked about the fact we're in partnership with the controller's office and uc berkley to create a monitoring program that lets us move beyond we compacted 200 kids or 200 kids coming through the puck puc what are we trying to chief with the puc and are they more open to careers in the areas we care about e we're in the early stages of developing that and cock it the commission to tie it into the policy those are clear

policy decisions we're making a the other phenomena happening we're getting a push by the public utilities throughout the community benefits work so british columbia and chicago and seattle are a few of the utilities that reached united states e out to us of replication and in particular they're interested in the work we've been doing and integrating that into our professional contracts all of the conversations they ask what is the ingredient how to move from the community benefits to the locations i think all of us have been on board in different places or observing the policies being pass and never implemented any take away in the commission and the policy itself identified the resources and when as a

question that commission beau traffic mentioned what is the resources when we had the policies, etc. i think the community benefit policy was structured that was smart they tied a resource question into the policy saying the policy should create a program and the program should be a resource for implementation we're able to have dedicated staff it really takes and pilots opportunities for prelims they don't do that in isolation a small team that are a dedicated and work sibdz with the agency whether wastewater, etc. they clorls with sister agencies with the consultant firms and nonprofit organizations we've been able to see the impact if you look at

what we've done around the younger and house the young people not in the puc we don't have room by commitment to do a service in kind policy to reach the scale and impacts i think is a part of the partnerships so i'll stop on the community benefits policy and program you guys have gotten a lot of information in the past year and i am sorry to yolanda that will lead the environmental justice work at the puc she's done an extraordinary job to a high-level and abstract not disproperty impact on the no road map not last week she can copy what seattle's seattle or portland did i see the

presentation she'll show you how to dive deep into what it means for the 200 employees and my job everyday and working with the staff at a level of piloting the completion as well as working directly with the staff to say to help them shape the completion of the new policies it is exciting and groundbreaking not to to the my own horn with that, i'm going to turn it over to yolanda. >> thank you juliette and good afternoon. >> thank you commissioners i'm delighted to be here to give you an implements of the justice policy that was passed thanks for our leadership in 2009 at that time, we still are today, the first and only public utility to have an environmental justice policy i was hired in

late 2012 to implement this policy in particular and as juliet yet mentions not a lot of example to turn to and the challenge we were faced with how do we make this policy have matt haney for us as the puc and within the utility sector particularly as a water power sewer what does it mean to embody the principles to the environmental justice we know thanks to our go back and the good neighbor policy it is fundamental how we do business we know there as strong business cap for environmental justice how to add weight to the infrastructure investments so we needed a place to start the best practice no matter where our working is usually to set goals so step one to set some goals

some clear articulated 3 simple goals the first one really relates to that integrating into core decision business all the core of environmental justice to a capital program or policy or any of the pragmatic ongoing work the second goal we established and it is really in supportive of being able to achieve the fiscal integration everyone at the puc should in this not only what environmental justice is more importantly what it means for their job on a daily basis at puc the second goal is the education of our staff and the third goal is really a fundamental tenants of environmental justice in general that is meaningful and diverse stakeholder engagement we set those goals and worked with the leadership to get input and sign off on those with those 3 goals

to establish the framework we were going to use for implementing this agree wide policy and i always like to say you know you need multiple tools tool in the toolbox but especially, when it comes to something that is abstract and feel intackle as inspirational justice we're trying to implement this cross the agency and the business of our water enterprise is different from the wastewater enterprise different from the power we needed a system to be flexible and tangible to track so this graphic tries to show you, we created the different tools for the different scenarios so starting they top with the environmental justice policy

that is the broad policy or leveraged tools we get more specific with with each tool the guidelines are more appropriate at the staff levels and in the as high-level of the commission but getting to the nitty-gritty around the check list that are meant for project sponsors as they're working to through their promotions and understanding what environmental justice meant we did a systems graphing he didn't want to recreate the wheel or a bumper to bumper ceqa like process that people will be perceiving as a barrier or check the position we're trying to adds value in the business context so we did a systems mapping to understand the key legislators where decisions are made we can effectively take the

tool into the decision making processes to make sure that the environmental justice are being taken account ever and from there we've selected pilots and as a sample on the pilots best been into with the wastewater enterprise. >> so this is a snapshot of four of various pilots or different tool in the toolbox that we put together the first one relates to the service goals we're a higher level commissioning commission experienced tool, if you will, to provide the benefits and adhere to the environmental justice a great example of without the staff to work on it but at the high-level has meaningful that the staff picks up and runs with that the staff looking at the service goal and

this feels less tangible how to make sure we're doing this we worked with them on a basic level to map out the areas of concerns in our region for the system improvement sewer system where we have concerns if they're proposing projects a physical integration a map they can touch and feel i know he need to be asking those extra questions and aware of the environmental justice area the other 3 i'll go over in wore detail starting with the community engagement i started a fundamental to make sure we have meaningful and difference stakeholder input as a public agency we're already very expert in public engagement and outreach we wanted to builds on

the expertise when we are out there gooenl with the public the input we receive is reflective of the democrat graphics the community we are working in we may say one hundred ipad surveys we want to peel back that identical of the hundred people did they represent the diversities and the only way to do that we need to measure and track our work we instituted an entity based metabolics for people to self-report on although their demographics and benchmark that so is are we getting a representative population or not in this sample slide we did very well on most categories equipment with the latino geographic we feel short and this is why with that knowledge we need extra special

partners with the community based organization with the tracking of the community that we're trying to reach in order to get those people to the table and say yes. the input is next slide, please reflective of the community. >> another example of an implementation tool and sgraig into the exit structures with the trillion bottom line tool with the system improvement programs and already does a great job and balancing the environmental economic proposed projects we at a simple layer of data around the geometryal dimensions in environmental concerns so and, track both gray and dark projects in f that area by the time we are done we've

installed x number of green infrastructure in the environmental justice communities or x number of projects outside of the promotions visa verse and helping to inform the project sponsors as they're planning their promotions to be aware of those principles and have given giles how to balance and prioritize those in communities of concern like environmental judicious communicates and the last polite i want to share really relates to the ongoing investments in the southeast system improvement programs but specifically for the big dollars like the bio solid and invester projects we know that ceqa does a grok great job and cumulative impacts we know that second did not require you to per say to look at the

soy connective impacts that relates to an environmental action or impact in essence to proactively pick up where ceqa leaves off with a comparison to look at the soy economic systems and how well are our normal capital pragmatic investments to be able to address the issues within our water power sewer provider i want to be clear especially, when i talk about environmental justice it is a broad area through this the goal to understand what is this lay of the lands and this is the first components of this report is an existing reports of a snapshot of what it looks like for bayview hunters point from an environmental justice prospective and there, there to driest and the areas of

potential opportunities for the puc to have a positive dictate impact that's with the second part the impact analysis in reminded with the ceqa process for the bio solids project and another quick look at in 2016 in addition to finishing those environmental justice and guides we'll also be working closely with the water and power in establishing their pilots and building them how out with the wastewater enterprise i look forward to come back next year and sharing more updates with that, i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> questions or comments. >> well, i want to thank you for this great work i mean this is one of the situations we

develop policies and unless we realize and put smart people nothing happens within that on the shelf they gather dust i've taken the environmental justice policy to not only a new level but to create a model for not only people the utilities but people internationally to deal with i want to thank you for what you have done and looking forward to hearing what is next and what we'll be able to do with the impact analysis. >> i just wanted to add to the presidents comment the work i've seen the impacts of the work you guys are doing you're doing a phenomenal job with the youth employed or under employed this is one of the small components but want to encourage you to

keep up the work. >> maybe that's a good transition. >> question and again you know, i thought that was a good presentation he appreciate that inputs we're doing a lot of stuff in the right direction and to be part that that i have a process question separate from the content and we talked about a process of trying to do a review of puc policies in the off budget year it prepares us for the two year budget process we've coming up to is that intended to be that review for those two policies? >> that was my understanding of the assignment. >> okay. >> the assignment from the finance team that kind of been in conversation we're happy to

do it definitely we never had a conversation. >> i'll give you a little bit of that direct conversation when i had hoped for the commission adapts policies within the policies some work better than others those are good and go through specific things to be accomplished and numbered so i would like a comprehensive review of the policy as it exists and you have done a keep dive on several areas that is hive appropriate but not covering some areas one of the things that says in the communities benefits policy is that we should properly resource those are a list of areas and that the authorities should be in place to actually execute those the obvious question in

those ten areas are we properly resources and from the answer is yes. yes. great from the answer is no that's a longer discussion why and when we need to do something in the project and likewise we get into some of the areas your moving forward towards but not gotten to yet we should have a discussion that so we have a sense not only of the areas of emphasis and higher achievement but the areas we need to strive for for and in this case, the policies really give a nice outline to follow and frankly, if there were not the case you can say that perhaps for nicely but say that we on the policy is deficient in some areas we wanted to do this but think it is a bad idea to so

have the policy not a papering in a binder someplace but provides a link between the commission and the work of the jkd and the staff to get that work done so i don't think we hit it we've talked about this at some length but it as valuable presentation it didn't go do this job i hope to get that policy when we adopt a policy we'll decide that becomes something that is a guidance to the general manager staff and something to report on back to the commission. >> ly noted i want to point out that first of all, to thank yolanda for her great work isn't

in amazing to see her up in front of a bunch of engineers who want to do their work i think that they're coming around they understand that we are doing combrok and a great way to document it with our consultants working on projects that are giving back to the community and when we look at deciding on choices we have an abilities to effect areas that are ignored i think everyone is getting jazzed up about making a difference i don't know if i need more resources with yolanda preaching the word we're getting a lot of folks and julie let we're changing as an organization i don't know if i need more of that we need more sincere man's

anyone's and get the non-restricted believers into the room they've done an outstanding job in turning this organization around i want to give merry proposals and juliette i don't know if i can answer that question i think in all the policies one thing i'll be looking at is a sets of getting staff to make sure the policies are being met but is there a way we can integrate and do them without additional resources i'm loovl that and seeing from the intent of the policy to come back and further clarify but there's a realty of what resources we have and i don't know if we need that conversation i don't have a policy i'd like to have that conversation and talk through

it. >> just to respond to that i think that is a good response to the issue and if it turns out we are properly resources and staff and have the authors to get the job done that's not the discussion other hurdles maybe legislation or maybe a bunch of other things we should have that discussion and rather than do a capture on putting you on the spot but the tendency so say no on the spots on the fly if we sat down with a policy what does the policy say and address that and if it says your supposed to properly staff it and yolanda has done it and this is an

important step. >> and we have one more presentation. >> one more about our education and youth employment update and we'll have laura page come up with an update. >> good afternoon commission and thank you for invite us i'm laura page i these the arts and organization i'll share the art and education as well as the workforce that is managed by steve if i could have the slides up thank you. >> our agendas for today to go over why the puc invests in the youth i'll spend time with an

overview of why we support various programs and go into depth and highlight some of the work and happy to answer our questions. >> so why did the puc have felt in education we've supported the classroom about pollution and waters and interning for many years beginning the work in 2012 stephen curry and i have developed a pathway for kindergarten and preschoolers to learn about what we do to instill kids to help them to grow into responsible deputies and have a invested interest in math and engineering and science

we're dpaej with students k through 12 our interim programs help the kids that know little about school and a dowel to turn the students on to the puc from engineers to project merchandise to policy stewart's this slide shows many not all the initiative by the puc and kaurtd by puc staff or through our partner organizations the key value that to inform are cross the top the sustainability, litigatingcy environmental literacy and teaching and learning and career preparedness and helping the school around strrment management and water conservatism and through the

support of sfpuc the district has dramatically but u cut their water and energy we're working on two green projects i'll ask in detail on the development literacy we're realizing a curriculum that covers water and power sewer projects it will help all through nonprofit to incorporate the important lessons and will serve as a guideline for future curriculum giles to reintegrate our programs we've supported sfpuc stem department the engineering and math we've helped with the career barriers you including the job instruction in the

classroom to help the kids to understand real life planning and they'll need to carry out the projects and as the kids move through the system we're offering paid work basis location introduce the summer grant and partnerships are the sfaud technical in school program where students are learning about opportunities and at this point i'd like to share some of the highlights of this body of work. >> so sustainability a major i'll i i'll from san francisco public utilities commission single-family dwelling to help them be more be able efficient from solar raise on 3 schools

cesar chavez and the sustainability office with the department of environment helps with tremendous incur savings i savings from physically to behavior challenging change program this year with the san francisco public utilities commission the district hired a conservatism manager first place to help manage the retrofit across the one hundred 60 schools has inform san francisco aging & adult services commission so do this and replacing old boilers and insufficient windows and updating sfpuc supported the design and construction of the programming in green school yards in the soot the intensity a elementary school the first super sized school yard the modernization

program hundred $50,000 they raise grants from governmental including the steward grants it will feature a range of stormwater and nature play areas for students and the site incorporated rainwater into the toilet flushing before this investment and the one at stevenson elementary more than 2 acres of asphalt will be removed and replaced to prepare for the stormwater and inform a future grants for the prelims of those fees so the school district can be prepared moving to environmental literacy we brought 55 students to camp

mather for the year ends up combrgs trip with the great support of camp mather and rec and park they learned about the dam how our water flows and how we generate electricity configuring their school and the puc staff members talked about our path would be highlight you'll see in the top right hand corner the hike around hetch hetchy reservoir we encountered a momma bear and cubs especially for the students we're pleased to open the demonstration garden you've heard about coming in january of next year construction is broken ground on the puc reservoir in bruno heights and a part time educator was hired two weeks ago

employed by the team under an extension under 8 b and students from neighboring schools about learn about the sustainability and this site includes a bunch of features students will touch and a micro scale and some of the features include compost toilet so to mr. rick's point we're piloting that we working worked with the rec and park to have this on public land and excited to see how this works with the students a green roof on the tool shed for run offices and wetlands and race vegetables and all those features were designed to be ada compliance students with disabilities will assess this site the materials i've discussed are in alignment

where the next science standards the first since 1998 a good time to look at the human impacts on the earth that's the work we're doing. >> moving to stem education this is the openly of willie l. brown middle school the first middle school and learning the supports of firms that particle in the communities benefit we've supported this since day one providing financial support to enhance the science learning and we've also provided volunteer times to connect with the patterns and share information about the sfpuc and continue to support this throughout the year that has to do with green infrastructure we've got buildings and recertification. >> finally in career

preparedness you've heard about this in the passive we're pleased to say we reach more youth than any other departments we have in 2015 more than 13 hundred students got paid directly with the puc or other personally with others agrees we've having had nirms students return as commissioners many of the students aspire to work with the puc upon college and those investments people with the pipeline we're continuing to evaluate our students into the workforce and we'll be excited to report back on this in the future. >> providing youth with paid learning opportunities supports our mission of being a good

neighbor particularly in the neighborhood that are impacted by our procreations we're investing in youth with the puc and services and in enlisting them as ambassadors to their communities and streamlining our workforce pipeline and receiving the benefits of their empowers and create while they're working with staff that's about been a successful program we're pleased with the past year and thank you to the commission for your support this year i have a quick additional programs on the literacy developing curriculum and classroom materials for the k through 12 framework i've described you'll get a copy in november and increasing the efforts to show the students including sites on the peninsula and eastbound the interims visit the trail for the first time we

would like to share that with more students during the school year tends of this month two bayview will be visiting the modesto river this is not polite program that we hope to be a tradition we're looking forward to expanding from san francisco so additional schools throughout the area and exciting that that with that, i'd like ends and open up to any questions thank you. >> president. >> for the first this is an exciting and tremendous effort a lot of what my day job focuses on who the puc is doing on a larger scale in terms of next generation g sf we've found in a child is not involved in science education by 7th grade you lose tradition and access to stem education is an

entity issue i'm excited to see that and in terms of employment we've been on in our small way one percent you decrease violent crime by 80 percent i'm exist and this is great work. >> thank you. i just one thought that hadn't quite been mentioned in this presentation i've been largely the retirements conundrum at the puc for the 40 percent in the years those are pretty significant numbers it smell those programs especially working in tandem the environmental investments particularly in our youth and those educational and career development programs have a potential to get the right people into the right jobs it

would be great from the presentations down the road having an understanding the metrics and really you know where the opportunities are you know to be building those pipeline career jobs along the way i know this is going to be something that pretty years is not very far how many kids to transition into the jobs and what are the missing pies are we taping into those communities that needs the jobs and trying to tie those you know incredible programs together. >> so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> general manager. >> that concludes my remarks. >> any public comments on the general manager report? >> seeing none, please call the next line item. >> item 8 the consent calendar

are considered to be routine may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests in which event the matter shall be removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. approve the absorption assignment and authorizing the exist agreements from mckinney to consider engineering and b prauchlt and 30 years the increasing agreements with a time expectation of 3 years and c for agreement and tolerating up to 25 thousand in an extension ever one year and d to agreement as authorizing

increasing it up to seven months and e approving the agreements and authorize the time extension up to have months and f awarded contract number in the amount of one million dollars plus to the lowest responsive bidder and d accept the contract for a total amount of $3 million plus and authorize the final payment to the contractor. >> is that that was g reporter. >> that was g. >> would any commissioners like to remove any of the items from the consent calendar. >> item a. >> item a will be removed anything else a motion to approve the rest of the consent calendar. >> so moved and second. >> all in favor, say i.

>> i. >> the motion carries item number a. >> letter a i guess. >> letter a. >> my question is that in reading the end it it appears we'll be our intent to use that agreement to fund a chief building engineer and i guess lie question to staff is whether this is an interim action that will be requesting a real one in the budgets or - what is - what's going on. >> harvey milk club bureaucracy we utilize this and have been utilizing it since it was certified to augment our current staff we have all of the engineers that monitor and

engineer the building from the wastewater group and we have one consultant engineering who such as underneath the wastewater. >> is this a need we expect to be going on. >> i would say for the next number ever years, yes that's probably more - >> i think right now given that we have the platinum building and staff one of the things we're looking at is bringing someone that is familiar with vertical building so thankful been valuable i think that the role of the this person is not full-time anymore training our staff i think over time we probably will get operators who have the knowledge in a vertical building

as well as wastewater treatment plant to obtain the expertise needs to run this complicated building so because all of the systems are kind of goings-on to the lessons learned. >> that really goes to part of question is one of the lessons we're learning that we need a higher level technical level of staff to run the building and how do we appropriately that and have the costs and what struck me here the title was chief building engineer it seems like a civil service people may report on this statement so i guess my question or what i'll urge to look at as you come forward with a budget is this neon a level we'll be funding it through regular city employees and if it is a shake down issue

we're learning what it takes we need interim to help to do that that's fine but that flag went up i'll ask you to look at that. >> another thing just we also worked with the real estate as well and one of the champs that is a unique building trying to get it expertise was challenging we'll definitely come back and look at the level of resources that we need and when will be a time to bring it. >> okay that satisfies my question i'll be glad to move >> >> i. >> opposed? public comment? >> that motion carries. >> flment. >> item 9 authorizing the grants for the assistance for

large alternative water projects. >> mr. richie does anyone have comments or questions from mr. richie would you like to hear more about in item or make a >> i. >> opposed? . >> that motion carries. >> sorry. public comment next item, please. >> approve the pamphlet and authorize increasing the agreement by one hundred millions pursuant to the charter section. >> i have a question. >> yes. question, please. >> it gesz gets my attendance from 5 millions to one hundred and 5 millions that's not our

original are ordinary meantime it appears this building in the price of transition services we'll get a case. >> that's right barb hale when we transition to receive the services directly we'll that became necessary. >> the numbers make sense in that context i guess my question is one of contracting it used to be a professional services contract there were managing the paper and making sure that everything reconciles this is now putting both that seem contract a payment for a utility service and if there recent anything in the - i'm wondering why we're doing it my concern any percentage of gross we've just boasted roof of that and why are rechoosing to do

that arena a regular budget item to pay for the services and a couple of thoughts first of all, no booster of the fees because it is not based on the fee is not based that way it is like coordinators for us to receive the fees on top of the fees we're protected and the seconds item i'd like to respond so it the point you made i just lost red on. >> on one budgeted. >> yeah. so it is budgeted it is include in our budget and power for resale the transition costs are budgeted not allowed to my directly without some sort of be conceptual vehicle and advised by the city attorney

this is the appropriate vehicle. >> the city attorney's office consulting with the energy team the contract you had already provided within their scope of roles for them as a scheduling coordinator to make certain required payment to cal i so, so this was part of what you employed them to do they previously didn't make your transmission payments $20 million a year it comes across a significant amendment but within the scope no mark up on performing that function for the transmission service so for that reason it was a legitimate

and appropriate vehicle for accomplishing what you need to accomplish which is to transmit those charges in the modification to the contract that will accompany this item for approval at the board of supervisors there are responsibility there will be articulated and you could i guess go out and put out a new rfp but have the legal contracting mechanism to accomplish this services not necessity for doing that within the term of their existing contract. >> oh, i predict the city attorney has been involved and eminence a level of comfortable my concern whether, if any doing this your occurring some untended communication if their bombing that or any other it is

- just unusual in my experience having e million dollars administering $5 million and all of that in their contract is - >> yeah. actually if i may to put more context ap x earned $2 million for their services each he a every year and makes payments for us there they are not as large the practice your expressing concern a standard industry practice as i mentioned the i s o accepted the payment from coordinators and puts restrictions on the fees they earn advertised not unique to us this is standards industry practice but for the volume of dollars we're talking about with the change we've been conducting our business with ap x on

smaller dollars amounts. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> is there a motion to approve that item and so moved. >> second. >> public comment? hi jed 350 the answer might be occurring i'm wondering if this contract will allow for if contractor to also serve the scheduling needs for sf clean power obviously needs schedule over the years we've talked about the need for the schedule for sf clean power to have technical capacities to integrate resources to create integrated power systems so wondering if that would be covered thanks >> ms. hale.

>> yes. it is covered in that contract so ap x will be having services to the utility program thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners again eric brooks san francisco clean power and power city sf this is an interesting opportunities for people watching tv are not interested in what ms. hale said we expected but we do need to drill counsel deeper into the scheduling coordinator is capable of doing in relation to sf clean power especially sf clean power program that advocates are push for you, you

to put forward the one by the study by lafco we're talking about and continuing to push for thousands of people being hiring over the locally over the next 10 years to build efficiency, demand response, battery storage, navy a title program and weight power program and a winds farm we know there will be solar all over the city and probably be solar from projects and it is this is all of these types of resources most of which are called local distributed renewable energy our resources that a large number of them put together called a visual power plant you're mixing resources and demand resources and battery

storage all of those things together to have an equivalent of a power plant on all the time and from the x works we need to make sure that staff drills counsel into could they have a strong capability to do scheduled coercion for a visual power plant if you don't nia they need the staff on board to get the robust job driving local clean energy we've been fighting forgive for the past decade a police do deployed with our staff maybe now the capability to do the skeleton cooperation for the power plant services and make that clear if we don't have this in order without the build up hopefully next year we won't

we'll be behind the eight ball and not getting the program over the ground especially to make sure we doing the built out to talk about the jobs please drill down on that point. >> i'm hoping to get more detail when we have our working group after this vote and take a short break further comments on this item? there's a motion on the >> i. >> opposed? that motion carries and why not take minute break 325 please. >> madam secretary.

>> item 11 a working group for an every single one of the sf clean power risk analysis and the business components the subcontracting strategy and the overview schedule for the spring 2016. >> barry hale assistant manager with puc we talked about at the last joint meeting. >> how we're going to petite our spring 2016 launch of the sf clean power program. >> so as you can see here we'll talk about the risk analysis and business plan are power supply and contracting and approval strategy and the of schedule so for context those are the goals and objectives we're leading with affordability we've talked about that a lot and other goals to balance with

that this is what the business plan a all about getting the balance and making sure we provide for long-term rate and final sustainability we'll we work through meeting the observes for example, within the business plan effort we'll laboratory the initial enrollment and testing whether it is viable does it remain viable when key costs and revenue assumptions are test and running sfeft analysis for example, the percentage of renewable we've procure if we procure more than 33 percent or less 50 what that side to the overview final liability and similarly if we model pg&e rates and pg&es rates are different than anticipated so as we look

to meet or beat pg&e rates we'll look at the overview effect and did it remain finally viable and the opt out rates how the program allows for opt out we're modot the 20 percent opt out rates that is other programs in california and higher than expelled or lower what is the effect on the financial liability similarly we will be looking at the full enrollment case and testing financial liability under the full enrollment case and just for context the initial enrollment is thirty to 50 megawatts and 20 thousand to 75 individual accounts it is about a $35 million a year

operating revenue full enrollment puts us 4 hundred megawatts of loads serviced and three hundred accounts and about 200 and $70 million in annual operating revenue this is just slightly berlin the wastewater enterprise for context this is this is. a big program and that's why we're going through the care to do a robust business case robust analysis testing you know what if things are different than we expect will we be a viable program. >> and will we achieve the various objectives we're looking at so we've identified what the risks are we think threaten our

ability to achieve the objective we use the discipline of enterprise wide risk management to identify it and score them as you can see on this slide here the goals on the left and the risks that we've identified we've gone through sailed a rigorous approach the business plan takes the risks which you see on this slide in the second column and the impacts on our sf clean power objectives which you see in the first column it identifies the mitigation strategy for reducing this risk and the mitigations sdraemgz in the third column and finally through the effort with you

we'll romanced policy guidance we'll ask you to do you want to guide our management of the program going forward that's what you see in the fourth column. >> and what the fourth column attempts to do give us guidance how we can get the balance right amongst the program objectives how green is it it is affordable by equally pg&es rates or less than we're trying to given the amount of money we're collecting from the customers and where are we going to employ that transitioned margin above our costs we'll be looking to the business planning effort in the presentation i'll be making to you to help to identifies the guidance to us so we can move forward with the program under our leadership chief of police the right balance. >> so to give you a little bit

texture of this enterprise risk management i want to go through an example the cost of supply exceeding sf clean power revenue has been identified as one of the most likely and severe impact risks that we face under the enterprise wide risk management approach you give each risk a rating for the livelihood and the impact we could be you know a sort of afraid of things that are risky rather unlikely to happen we should be paying attention to the risks that are highly likely to occur the cost of supplies being greater than revenue initially is a high severe risk

with high likelihood of occurring i mentioned before the initial program costs are about $35 million a year the overview operating costs are $35.70 percent of the cost of sf clean power program are the cost of the electrical supply how we handle that cost is very impactful to the success of the program so what are we doing there this hive risk high likelihood issue we've identified the strategy how we manage supply our strategy strategy was to go out to bid so supply from various providers we now know what the likely costs from the results of bidding process and

know we've come to you on our next meeting 19 and ask you to advise us to go forward to lock into to fix the costs for the full volumes of the program needed for the program is so we will before we launch this program have defined that cost and having taken those steps implemented that mitigation strategic we have been able to target a mitigation rating after taking the steps of 4 a moderate or low overview ratings identifying the livelihood the costs greater than our revenues having being managed we know what those are to the contracting process that gives us a sense of enterprise risk

management process and the methods we're going through in putting together the business plan for you and identifying the strategies and risks and how the overview revenues collected from the program can cover the overview costs of the program i'd like to talk about the counteracting approval strategies if you're ready for me to move on to that item okay. >> so what we're going to before he can to you at our next commission meeting a request for approval of supplier pool what we're looking to do to make sure we register the competition by putting the offers out and maintaining flexibility as we gordon's we'll be asking for approve for continual authorization to execute the contracts the way the

contracting approach for you if 0 sf clean power program a master agreement with a bid option one provider that's what we'll be norwalk with them over the next couple weeks once we have a master agreement with them that commits to us work p with them going forward when we wish to procure the actual supply the second step the process that are referred to as at confirm it follows the master agreement we'll tell them specific volumes for specific delivery dates for specific shape of consumption and a specific sternum what's our best and final price and assign then a confirm from the bid option policy that provides the most attractive overview

price. >> so if bring to you on the 2 that the the request to authorize us to negotiate and execute the contract with the option bid option pool we'll be working with that larger group i think that is 12 total bidders with the expectation we'll probably come to you finally with contracts for bid option one with multiple bid option one but a conform with only one of those the initial launch the program. >> so action been the commission on the 2 that will allow introduction shortly thereafter at the board of supervisors we would expect then not to have authority to sign the master agreement until mid december and

then be in a position to sign a confirm with a bid option one bidder in early january so we'll ultimate on about doing business with suppliers that we've signed confirms with though we may sign more than one master agreement. >> so i just want to maybe say it in a different way typically if we were to identify one company that we want to get a confirm from you got to realize a confirm is only good for several hours if we go to the board and say four or five weeks later what's our price and they know no connection we're in trouble this way we can go through the

commission and board with several options so that we still have a competitive confirm we'll get so this is the strategy we will do it as needed contracted before a pool of contractor we thought that was the way to keep the competition going because the process is to long to go through the process and board of supervisors. >> did that pool continue to exist if you roll out phase two is it the same group or four or five that you'll go out and say what's your best price. >> yes. that's the flexibility to expand the program at a quirk pace from the demand - >> so the pool didn't just disappear. >> correct. >> what protection is there if and this is part of sensitivity but if it turns out you think

you need thirty megawatts and only needed 25 wale call it 20 what happens then. >> so for our initial program once we sign confirms for the specified volumes opt out then is greater than anticipated for your somewhere we'll have the opportunity to expand the group of customers we automatically enrolled so whopz whoops we have too much power we'll move from the southeast sector into central san francisco our next phase in order to pick up enough consumption a to match your supply. >> to the limit to buy is bonding. >> once the confirm is signed yes. >> and the term of that will be how long. >> we've told the bidders 3 to

5 years. >> and one of the strategies then potentially for mitigating the risks of opt out being greater than we at the point to perhaps have a shortly term and go towards the shorter at the end 3 rather than 5 to have the legislators to pull depending on how things are shaping up. >> and how like this kind of decision i guess there are several versions one would be to startle them a little bit to have a partial confirm to be followed months later that's one strategy. >> yeah. greater volume and shorter terms. >> where are we getting advise and council to the best approach within the market that exists.

>> we have outside consulted energy advisors the same firmer that helped to launch the 3 existing choice they have expertise in supply procurement strategies we're talking about. >> i think the concern we don't want to be fully leveraged in the price goes down we can have flexibility to keep our price competitive that's the type of advise. >> like sunset. >> oh, that's expensive; right? >> right? and same idea we'll lock into a long term contract and size a certain amount of flexibility. >> that's true for option one contracts we've been he and bringing bid option two those

are specified renewable projects many have been development and underdeveloped in california those will be potential long term contracts over and over kraktdz are not required to go through the board of supervisors and that's where you'll see smaller volumes longer terms potential coming to you. >> how do other cca maybe some of the later ones address this risk manage their risk, if you will, and so yeah, they had defined the supply management policies procurement you know portfolio that's part of what we'll be bringing to you in our business plan conversation so that you can then you know did you and consider what we

recommend the kwienz to we can carry forward how much of an open position we have and how many years of contracts do you want us to commit to what should be the pace of enrollment of customers should be you know how much reserve should we budget for for this program those are the types of topics we have a motion and a second we'll be bringing to you so you can think about them in the context of the full program and give us guidance and we'll come back after the business plan presentation in the december timeframe a resolution to adopt those policies on those issues. >> which kind of leads us into the schedule what i have on the screen at this time the schedule that is familiar i've highlighted where

the dates are changing we said before that we would be launching this program january 26, 2016, the original dates on the left the updated is march 2016, 6 weeks later we'll be coming to you december 8th with a rates for the program we'll be coming to you in not coming thank you excuse me. preimproperly consumers on early january 15th instead of late november. >> so i'm highlighting there the dates that have changed that is a tight schedule an achievable but the stars have to align and everything in place with no date change a swift but

smart schedule we're trying to make sure we stay aphasia we're dual tracking the contracting activities to keep to our spring 2016 launch cat but contracting is just one of the activities that we'll be engaged in this overall schedule give us a fuller flavor so it begins with today's date you'll see the different activities in light blue that are actions that we'll be asking you to take and then the pinky peachy color we'll be asking the board of supervisors to take so one of the other things that changed since the last time we present we're going to be bringing again the rates through the board of supervisors approval process

so that had not been on the prior schedule but now we're presenting updated costs for the program through the business plan and risk assessment analysis we'll be presenting to you a good time to bring those rates again to the board of supervisors. >> now that alleged activity didn't effect the overall schedule. >> is the marketing plan where is that in here. >> the market plan was what mr. jew prenltd the customer outreach and the marketing at the puc joint meeting that was intended to provide you with that information you can certainly talk further if you have more information you'd like to see we're not going to

address the marketing plan other than to get for the costs. >> i'd like more information on the marketing one thing in particular i would like to see a tabulation of basically, all the customer services and benefits the pg&e offers and their status under cca so if it turns out a pg&e program our customers will have access that's one answer there maybe other answers i want to make sure we're offering not just for the power and price but for all the services provided to customers is at least at&t's as good as pg&e a tabulation would be helpful. >> we'll put that tabulation together and some of the strategies have been like for example, if you have solar on our roofs that to cut those folks over you have a

period for example, my trip period is in june or yeah june so i'd like to kit over in june instead of getting cut in the middle and having to pay pg&e in the whole year process the other things we're talking about where customers pg&e consumers pay a level payment equal payment and that maybe something that offered initially we're looking at looking at maybe not improperly those customers because they- there what could be a reason to opt out we're trying to be smart don't want to give anyone the reasoning to opt out so if we meet with affordable and greener we'll pick the ones that don't proceed the issues a greater probability the opting out is low.

>> to this marketing point you know, i think we can't start - i don't know why we wouldn't start some of the efforts right now i saw the preenrollment period we know there is going to be official dates where certain things need to happy b happen but tie present where's our celebrity spokesperson and we're working on that i like we're not doing. >> i appreciated what you said different strategies of you know the solar homeowners might be approached differently and the family maybe this is something that is important to the puc we're all ♪ together to really start that i looked at this earlier schedule eastern preenrollment con men's in january, i thought gorgeous that's 3 months away not doing

the efforts and patron with the nonprofits and sierra clubs to get them out xhas >> i should be clear what i'm showing here is the stuartly required steps up to the plate so tie and company are out there doing a lot of stuff well in advance of the january deadline i'm showing you that is a step that january step is a step that the state requires we take before we are allowed to launch the program it is a key date. >> just to put a pin on it it seems like an important time to get people endorsed in the super green and signed up maybe at the next hearing and continue to have regular feedback on the strategies how their 0 going and make sure we're doing everything we can to get 0 people enrolled. >> to that point for the

viewers and licenseer clean power.org sign up today and be part of program thank you. >> when are we're going to be launching to - launching the green and we'll launch the deep gastroassignment. >> i thought we were going to be doing that before. >> we'll market - >> so the plan we're going to offer green and super green and a choice automatically enrolled and center green opt up to the strategy we'll be going to cross the city as tie presented in his last update and presentation on the marketing strategy we'll go into all the areas we're willing to pay more info get hundred

percent green those are the folks we want to encourage to initially go into super green we're seeing over selma and marin once you're in the program the percentage of people opt egging up is small. >> i was going to mention he got a mailing the other day encouraging people to go super green it is people are no not going up. >> i truly believe you have to get them if they first want to again even though into the program sell them. >> so commission on the schedule april 16th service to customers will begin to super green and green depending on that what a customer enrolled in how. >> so we have been doing a lot

on the marketing, in fact, the marketing is more i guess enjoyable meetings we talk about creativity ideas i can participate and give my ideas that is scary the guess the presentation we're putting together we need to really look at because as barb mentions this this program is large in a wastewater program we need to do our dlungs and talk about the risks i know that people want to we have to make sure when we put something out we want to make sure we're competitive and, in fact, we're making a commitment to be more affordable than pg&e that means that our margin may not be as much as we anticipated that means that maybe the build out may not be as robust i think

we need to go locate the business plan and talk about the legislators we want to keep in place bbut on the other hand, w our priorities as we moving forward. >> happy to take hi other questions. >> public comment? >> hi jason fried for lafco on the schedule it looks like good schedule probably a week we can shave off i'll not give staff a hard time they do a good job i want to talk about the business

model with the full enforcement i keep that in mind it is going to be xooefk in my opinion hypothetical not enough good information for full enrollment i'll guess why you want to do from a conservative business stand point around the initial making sure that all your risks are successful this is work you're starting to mitigate it easily for example, the program is more opted out awhile you're doing a skirmish of the city the full enforcement you'll have to redo the business plan the thirty to 80 o 60 folks wooul you'll have more detail it is where the nexus report wanted you to set rates and that way you'll, your price and your costs will be and better put together a business plan i want

to be cautious while we're looking a full enforcement business plan a lot of things not common that are guesses getting to launch our plan you'll better to get a better plan in place rather than taking educated guesses but smart and important step to make sure ear he a you're dealing with the early enrollment not necessarily the full enrollment. >> on the business plan that will happen on the 10 of november are we're going to be - are we're going to be able to get that it looks like we'll have some time to review and read and dig in; correct? >> yes. my expectation timing commissioner vietor we'll get our feedback in december with a

revised plan for your consideration and the policy guidance resolution at this time as well. >> i may differ from jason once we move forward pretty much can't stop so i have to know what the bookings are before i have good consciousness move forward and that is just me and as doing all the programs i've worked on 32 years in the city you have to know the extremes so 0 that's why it is important for me to provide this information. >> i appreciate that i want to make sure we have plenty of time i mean, i'm hoping we get the business plan 3 days from the commission meeting so the feedback to be prepared for questions so we can support that. >> and to the general managers

point under subtly we're required at the jurisdiction to offer services to all residential customers once we start the program to off to all residents not the pace this was think piegs strategies to make sure we're not procuring power but take our time in a smart way through the business plan effort not only the launch is financing viable but the full enrollment is financially viable thank you. >> so (calling names). >> good afternoon, commissioners eric brooks san francisco green party sf clean power and advocates so i wanted to amplify and push back here using what mr. freed stated there's no way you can

get a long term tenure business plan without starting with the first year the 50 megawatt in 2016 and finding out how it behaviors didn't make sense to try to come up with a ten year business plan without learning those lessons i want to reiterate that what i said last time you have a new cfo it is sharp at what ease doing and doing the right thing by caudal calling for a plan we've been hammering that gives us a plan plan everything out so it is not we've been asking for the same thing the problem we face i was glad commissioner vietor you brought of marketing and the nonprofits right now the nonprofits are all communicating

with each other going wow. the bill post is got moved without warning this has happened before and we've seen details of years not weeks ago we're having trouble about the confidence about the key period and holidays and at this point when we were saying well, it will starts tends thought february now may and now today april so we don't have - we're in a position with no confidence we're selling to the public the key they know that will make that process a lot easier to separate that big business plan from the initial 2016 megawatts and treat them as almost separate entities when you got a

lot of companies to pick up for phase one and 60 overall it is highly ineligible we'll have problems with the price to offer to customers for clean energy i go get it start of the 50plegic was the and doing what the cfos ask for a business plan for the whole thing that is informed by that startup and what we learn how we contract those first 50 megawatts of power to president commissioner vietor so work with the staff of straightaway out the consultants and making sure the 50 megawatts are on schedule in april make sure the contracts are approved as they are in the new schedule and no more delays

you split the tracks and do it faster. >> if i got comment i think the comments about i know the unfortunate nature of the schedule slippage and making sure we keep an eye on the ball to get the new dates is well-taken as far as the plan i disagree if you develop a plan with the expectation that you know what it is going to be like at full build out you're a fool i am not that's part of our points you get to identify our vulnerabilities and you can figure out how to mitigate those so you put yourself at this risk

as possible you can't without looking at the whole picture not that much frankly and what we've been going after and that is absolutely important for us to have an informed violative of our risk and how we need to mitigate and strategy for roll out i don't think that is one of the things to dive in and hope for the best. >> can i add if you look at the schedule we're doing things concurrent so we're going to go do the commission and board with the pool and before i find or confirm we wanted to make sure you're in alignment with the business plan not taking additional time you think when we come to you pretty much tell you what the guidelines are that will you know need for to sign and confirm and move forward but i truly believe that you know

the business plan is a document as we provide for information we change that this week is a 10 year capital plan and 10 year financial plan and that's example i feel adamant i don't want to shortchange that trying to save a week and the other comment we've been asking the sierra club can you come out with us i look forward to them going out with us when we talk about them it is you know some hesitation and maybe they think we're not going to launch we need the advocates to work with us if it is a detailed a week or so you get people to sign up to comment to super green we need to stop trying to say i got you,

you're not going to do it during election and get people focused to work on super green together i want to move forward and stop trying to feel we're not going to move forward because we are. >> thank you, president commissioner vietor jed from 350 sf i value the commissioners that commissioner president caen and kelly made the environment in which the advocates are trying to have ownership over this program and spread the word to folks is as you stated and the reality over the last several years you know can't be voided so there is no, i think

insinuation that you know we got you, you're not going to lingerie the program as he said there is for you know in a micro example you know we gave a lot of talks we said you know is this really going to happen yeah hell or high water we've gotten the word this is launching in march you know and so as we heard may and maybe april and all said or done back to april or may after moving together kind of for a really long time an unprecedented a long time to have it kind of seem like it could go off the rails it worrying in terms of putting our permanent be credibility on the line none expects you to keep

our promises you work for the government but when we do we have to for donation and such i thank staff for providing the timeline it makes me feel better to try to stay on track it is worth noting i e-mailed the supervisors i don't know if you heard pummel is calling folks and preregistered them for their hundred percent and a lady calls you it's begun so the precipitation will be at this point that penguin is over and over clean energy first pg&e is oh, you complaen clean energy and now san francisco is coming in the realties we're facing we're facing a huge competitor

with a larger budget and a lot more recollection and you know we're allowing planning for 10 to 15 years to slow down things we could be doing now to share your competitive this is philippines wise and pound foolish. >> my time is up. >> even pg&e when we looked at the amount of people to register into they're green tariff is very, very small and so we're looking at 5 percent of people who may register under our super green 95 percent of folks that will probably be in our basically green so that is what the really important is that assuming that 95 percent if more the merrier

but 95 percent we'll be expectative with pg&es basic offer we'll be greener and cheaper they can advertiser super green we'll advertiser our center green at the same time but where the volume of folks will be basically offering in the green offering so i just want to put it into problematic pg&e will not opt everyone into they're green tariff program so i want to put it in prospective. >> next commenter please. >> hi, i'm ann one of the new workers i've been aware the program for three or four years and sort of been following and definitely a member of the

public i'm very concerned member of the public and it just is very well difficult picking up the carpenter and reading about another delay that's part of public prospective this is this as climate emergency of weeks and prudence it is really bad peculiarity didn't look good i get it you've been working but it, it's 10 years i'm here to tell you that the public is looking it didn't look good so you know the metaphors abound of more weeks and one more drink what is it it looks at does not look good i'm encouraging you to be as closed to our timeline and people have been asking in the

last of weeks the pg&e thing is coming on i get questions questions from friends it gets permanent we're putting it out there and so my final metaphor you remember peanuts the football is the program and charlie brown is the public we're not going to stay charlie brown it more like the awe vefrjz that i'm bringing that sense of frustration after 10 years thank you. >> thank you did you - >> come on up please and introduce yourself. >> hi, i'm karen from the absorbing everyone has said

everyone this is exactly when it lives like it is really is people are not xaekt that is tricky we have a big convenience people are fired up and going out for outreach i've been to the sky festival hi guys it not quite yet i know we said january or february but starting to sound not ableable as to what to do repeat what the other speaker said stick to the schedule that is making me nervous to stay to the schedule the only thing i'll ask for beefing up marketing your marketing staff is not lacking but any spare money from somewhere i feel like every time he go out it is a partly there

is a pg&e but we save you money and not about a growing program but solar pg&e is spending a lot of marketing money and adds and radio adds you've heard about a fighting chance we have to have a 6 week delays and thank you very much. >> thank you. >> can i so one of the things we will follow-up with the advocates to talk about how we deploy and get ideas because the marketing should do it immediately so we've had a meeting before just to let you know some of the stuff you said you guys are doing i had no knowledge we've asked about how we can work together so let's

reestablish that meeting and talk about how we can do that i appreciate it. >> commissioner moran. >> i see uniform moving forward a union guy i know different strategies when we put-down the strategies in play to kind of bang i'm trying to find out through how this is helpful so the prospective is being created by the advocates the advocates are having very public delays on the city steps if we're really going to do this and really going to expedite and dot all the i's and cross the t's and bottom the hatches all i see i don't see anyone but did advocates making all the public

noise that is what the press gets ahold of and now back and forth i'm going to discourage it abused i or because i see it from the labor prospective it is not fair to staff at the end of the day if something goes wrong this is a huge undertaking staff is going out through florida the bus on front student when i hear 2 weeks or a few months some people preserve there are conversation and motivation it is not there just do the right thing and roll out the program so i felt compelled to say that we have the same friends absorbing i've got friends jason and i work together and tune it

down and work together. >> thank you. i appreciate that it was well said you you know, i kind of want to note today, we have a schedule none of us were happen with the slippage to make a stronger better program and so, now i agree i'm hoping we all can colonel together it will launch and i'm hoping from today on we'll all have that vision in mind of what it looks like to launch a successful low risk program that will help climatic change and drive the renewables market and create an affordable program for san francisco any other public comments on this that is >> okay. thank you very much for your comments and we look forward to work together and if there is no objection i'd
