promote the development of behind the meter resources. i will explain that in the next slide. and to develop a rate structure that reflect -- a mechanism for long-term financing. supervisor maxwell: [inaudible] we just did the legislation with the department of the environment. dealing with commercial buildings. would that have anything to do with what we are talking --

>> what this reflects is, right now, the incentives for municipal building to develop energy efficiency is different than the incentives for commercial because the price that they pay is not connected to the cost of the service for them. they essentially get a subsidized rate. there is a disincentive to develop the municipal department. that is what this reflects. what are some of these short term activities? to increase efficiency in demand response. have also found that the most cost-effective way of getting to the zero greenhouse gas goal is

by reducing usage. energy efficiency does that introduces what you ultimately have to rely on. it follows the first one. on-site storage can be a great way of reducing usage of the customer both on residential and small retail. expanding -- the aggregate to the customers and began exploring the infrastructure by the city at areas like the terminal, redevelopment areas, hunter's point.

increasing the energy efficiency programs. the second set of recommendations, how do they increase their control over the remaining 83%. some of the controls are implementing the aggregation program and making the decisions for energy procurement has opposed to pg&e. evaluating in developing city-of transmission projects, we are in the process of doing that right now. developing a green pricing program either through the community choice aggregation or

through encouraging pg&e to do so. and actively participating in all regulatory proceedings the the california public utilities commission or the federal regulation commission to encourage all the things that can be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. we have a timeline to complete the report. we have engaged some members of the public, and we will have a follow up meeting in a ticket back to the commission. hopefully it will come back to the board for endorsement of the report. throughout the process, we have received some input and some comments that are not yet reflected in the version on the web site. i will get to that in a little

bit. it is an issue where the tenant is not the owner of the building. who has the incentive to develop or implement some resource efficiency. is it the owner? to include more discussion, in particular, there was discussion on promoting metering pricing options to allow people that use of solar or wind to be able to sell back into the system. it is a pricing option that we would like to take a look at. it needs to include a better discussion. and we need to reflect the current [unintelligible]

the report itself is found on our web site. there is a community power issues section and you can find the staff of dated -- updated prp. we can go back to stakeholders and bring it back to the commission and the board. supervisor maxwell: comments or questions? why don't we open this up to public comment? >> as you know, i have been doing a lot of the in-city groundwork for removing efforts

for choice aggregation over the last few years. the last energies towards meeting -- energy stewards meeting, there were some pretty strong criticisms. part of that was just the staff and the green tech advisory committee is full of a bunch of experts that do know what they are dealing. and we are about to pass it without any strong comment or input from the grassroots community and environmental justice community. i thiank the sfpuc staff for

changing that track. the current version, the primary emphasis on test bed technologies. we have technologies that i can roll out large amounts of renewable energy and efficiency programs. that leads to my second name comment, and a central pillar should be community choice aggregation. all of the issues raised in the presentation, it has languished not being put forward quickly enough. they need to make it the central core of the energy resources program as they move it forward. [chime] >> good afternoon, supervisors.

i have been working with supervisor maxwell on energy issues for quite some time. in 2002, we successfully did get the puc to have an energy resource plan. it is a very comprehensive document. it does not solve anything. and by that, it has some much information that should be actually read and used by various departments. my latest understanding is that the mayor's office has gotten a grant for the department of the environment to a steady on

bringing zero admissions. that is all contained in the rocky mountain institute report. the problem we have is so fractured. the next year, we have the department of the environment working on energy reduction programs, we have lafco, community choice. i would love to see, under a new administration, consolidation of those efforts. we waste a lot of time, money, citizen time, and we don't move forward very fast. if we have a pile of money, we can solve all of these issues. but we have to be practical.

sophie, thank you so much. supervisor maxwell: public comment is closed. we will continue this item to the call of the chair. supervisor mar: i was just going to say before i have to leave, it has been such a great pleasure to work with you on the land use committee. i have learned so much from you and i think your the sharpest dresser on the board. i have learned a lot about how to address community concerns, criticisms, and how to bring people together from your leadership. we butted heads on a couple of different things, but it has been an honor to serve with you. i want to thank you for sharing the land use committee. supervisor maxwell: it has been

great working with supervisor maxwell: you. -- working with you. supervisor chiu: i wanted to echo his comments. we are going to miss you greatly. you have had a tremendous impact of the past, present, and future of our city with regard to land use. there are so many projects in your direct imprint help to improve. it has been a true pleasure to work with you and i think our committee has worked very well together in resolving many of the potential conflicts that we have to resolve here at land- use. thank you so much for that. we will miss you. supervisor maxwell: i think land use and our city will be in great hands. i think supervisor mar an --

thank supervisor mar and supervisor chiu. i think we'll be okay. you're a pretty snazzy dresser yourself, supervisor mar. it has been great. thank you. [laughter] is there any further business before this committee? this meeting is adjourned.

[cheers and applause]

>> they were all telling me how excited they were to do an inauguration last year. but it was just for that local mayor of san francisco. and now -- i thought maybe when they were great, when they were old and you guys had kids and grandkids, you would talk about that inauguration you had at city hall. that's all going to be forgotten now. i'm not even an asterisk. we're here because we're proud. we're here because we're proud.

[applause] by the way a lot of folks are here because they're proud. it gives me tremendous pride as a san franciscan first and foremost, as mayor of this city, that our san francisco girls chorus and our san francisco boys chorus have been picked for this historic event. it is an extraordinary privilege that we collectively are being afforded. but all of these young men and women in the back are being afforded. and to all of families and friends, i know that this is something you will never forget. as a san franciscan to see san francisco speaker nancy pelosi up there with senior senator diane feinstein front and center in this, and our boys and girls chorus -- [applause]

i know not everyone of the same political persuasion. but yes, the president that we have chosen, which we chose wisely from my humble perspective. [applause] but we are from san francisco. we can say that. this is an exciting moment. we're here because these folks are extraordinarily talented. these are grammy winners. isn't that amazing? what have we done in our lives? these are grammy winners. albums, prince charles comes in, let's bring out the boys chorus and the girls chorus. you've got all kinds of world leaders. and we just get to show off to the rest of the nation something that we get to experience more often out here in the bay area. so i'm just here to celebrate with you. we thought we would bring you together and a nice way to kick

off the preinaugural ceremonies. and just to remind ourselves how blessed we are to be out here. and the great city and county of san francisco. but first, i just wanted to recognize because it's utterly appropriate, susan, come on up here. these two very talented artistic directors that have done so much and so well. we just -- we wanted to thank them for all their hard work. and all their sacrifice. and all their -- the commitment they have made to work with all of you. and to be here with you. not just on moments like this. and moments like tuesday. but those quiet moments, practice stress and frustration and anxiety, where ian and susan were there, just keeping your spirits up and enlivanning your senses and making you

believe you can do more and better. and reminding you what it's all about. and that is working together across your differences and uniting a common goal. and that's really the spirit of what a chorus is all about, isn't it? it's the sum of its parts. and there's something special in that as well. so it's in that stead and that spirit and that light that we have two certificates of honor. one recognizing our san francisco girls chorus. it's your day in the city and county of san francisco. [applause] we always have to start with the girls first. and then to your outstanding work and we have a lot of language to attest to that. and your contribution. and to all of you young men, this is your day as well in the city and county of san francisco. we thank you. thank you. so we're going to -- so enjoy.

thank you very much. and we've got the change everybody's going to look forward to enjoying on tuesday. thank you.
