>> maybe you can give e information on the 20 vs 30 option, what the author out rates seem to be, just a little more data. maybe we can make a more informed decision on that. >> we would be happy to do that in general. we think it would be about the same because the rates would be pretty much the same. the 30 megawatt program, he led have 75,000 customers. -- you would have 75,000 customers. we can get you more details, but that is the general sense of it. commissioner moran: i forgot about the minimum level. it might make more sense for the sheet to reflect 20-30. i think part of the benefit of

having a small one is that you have a second group of people, but if the first group doesn't sign up, you have the first group to fill ain the void. if we put the term sheet as 20- 30, i think that states the state of affairs at the moment. >> and that is fine with me. a final point, i know there is possibility of losing a quorum. i understand that we are talking about complicated issues, their questions that remain. this is about lafco and the puc saying to the board of supervisors and the mayor, consistent with the mandate, we have put together what we believe are the best terms possible right now so that the

board and american have that discussion -- and the mayor can have that discussion. some of the issues that have been raised, you have to resolve them today. there will be opportunities for us to resolve them, and many of the issues have to be resolved at a level of the board of supervisors anyway. this discussion has been extremely useful, it will be something that is very informative and very important. i believe he advocates are absolutely right, not only with something in respect to the term sheet, many of the challenges are challenges that will have to be dealt with your respective --

irrespective of cca. for the city to not only provide more choices to ratepayers, but to make sure that we meet our clean energy objectives, the environmental objectives of the city. i hope and ask for your support. president vietor: i appreciate your comments, i think usyou summarized it well. i am hopeful that it can be the wedge for the opening to this longer conversation and vigor conversation a round of the general fund the subsidy question, renewable and efficiency programs, moving forward from an environmental perspective. and early these questions we are bringing up around these hard policy decisions that we will

need to be making as a city family, as a city body, it order to figure out how moneys will be best spent and protected the system. i hope this can be hand in hand, the cca. i hope this is just the tip of the iceberg of a longer conversation. >> commissioner avalos? commissioner avalos: if you could share with us the process of the board of supervisors? >> assuming this item is approved by both commissions today, starting tuesday of next week, i will introduce the matter before the board of supervisors. legally, it has to sit for about 30 days.

it is one of the reasons to mean the time lines with and working under for the last few months, to make sure that the introduction happens in october. it would set for 30 days and it would be heard by the board of supervisors sometime in november. process was, madame clerk, lafco first or puc first? >> on the lafco resolution has presented a. -- as presented. >> we have a request of the term sheet reflects a 20-30. i don't know if it has to be made a motion with respect to the term sheet as to both the puc resolution and the lafco

resolution. >> it is not stated in the resolution, it is just on the term sheet. >> this is nancy miller, the other text changes regarding the intent to authorize language would be a change to our resolution. we are taking of the resolution. >> we need a motion to amend the resolution as suggested by commissioner moran. we have the motion by commissioner avalos. without objection? the resolution has been amended. >> on the resolution as amended. [roll call vote]

>> for the record, do we need a vote from the alternate? no? the resolution passes. turned it over to president vietor. >> if you live entertain a motion to amend. >> it is the amendment the commissioner moran introduced. in favor? opposed? if there is no objection, all those in favor? the motion carries. >> item number six. >> letter to governor brown and a california public utilities commission urging the fair and equitable methodology.

>> this is a very brief item. i will make it brief. it is a resolution that has a letter attached to it. the letter is to urge the commissioners as was the governor to move quickly to actually resolve one of the issues that we spoke about today, what will be the method for calculating the performance bond associated with the cca. it has been outstanding since legislation was passed. as discussed here today, there and others. >> commissioners, you have the letter before you. is there any member of the public that like to speak on

item six? public comment is close. this letter is an item that is both before the puc and lafco. with that, madam clerk? >> [roll call vote] >> the motion passes. >> if you could entertain a motion to approve? >> it is a resolution that refers to the letter. public comment? all those in favor? the post? -- opposed? it passes. >> item 7. >> public comment. >> is there any member of the

public that led to provide general public comment on any item that is not on the agenda but in the jurisdiction of the commissions? >> erica trucks with san francisco green party. it got touched on a little bit but it wasn't an action item for you today, and i think it is important for the lafco to take it up. i would like them to take of this issue of the fact that as you can see from the charts, the city agencies and other agencies are getting a really sweet deal on electricity. even though we need to support all those agencies, we need to figure out a way to increase what we are bringing in for electricity. the main reason for that is so that we can get ahead of the global warming curve, not to stop with cca, but a full build

out of not only electricity but electrified mass transit. so that we can really take a bite, even as the city, by ourselves, out of global warming. if we do it right, we can get the extra revenues for electricity itself while we are installing things like solar panels and efficiency measures for those agencies that are currently getting a deal on electricity such that their bills may not have to change that much. the idea is to start right now the figure out how we can get the extra revenues so we can start building out the efficiency. and figure out the big picture so that it does not cause pain to the agency's that have been

leading the deal that they have got, but still supports a really robust renewable energy system and electricity system in the city. some of us end up supporting public power in the city as well. i am hoping they will take that up so we can start figuring out a way to get a lot more revenue that is badly needed for the goals that we talked about today. >> any other member of the public that like to speak? public comment is closed. the next item is lafco specific. >> approval of minutes from september 23, 2011. >> you have the minutes before you. is there any public comment? we have a motion. can we take that without

objection? can you call item no. nine? >> executive officer's report. >> there will be no report today. >> public comment is closed. item 10. i'm wondering, president vietor and commissioners, whether or not we should try to set up a joint meeting for december to the extent in the event that this item is decided or action is taken at the board of supervisors in november. there might be in need for a joint meeting in december, and i am hoping that the clerks can maybe provide us with some possible dates so that we have something tentative schedule. >> it is probably a good idea.

>> winter recess starts on the fourteenth. >> it would be before that. >> december 2 or december 9. >> what time? >> normally at 2:00. >> commissioners, and of the friday is not always good for you. -- i kjnonow that friday is not always good for you. >> neither are good for me. >> we don't have a schedule the next regular meeting because the next regular meeting date would have been the twentieth during the week of christmas. the 13 is the regular meeting.

the 6 is a tuesday, but that's a board meeting day. >> what time does it start? >> 1:30. >> can we do earlier? is it sixth? an earlier meeting on the sixth? >> it doesn't matter, we don't have a commission meeting. the 11:00 give us enough time? 10:00? >> i need to make sure that the chamber will be available the morning. >> there is a transportation at 9:30, but how about a new -- noon?

it would give enough time for that meeting -- >> is that enough time before the board meeting? >> noon on december sixth. tentative meeting scheduled for tuesday, december 6 at 12:00 p.m.. any member of the public of like to speak on this item? public comment is closed. >> item 11, adjournment. >> the meeting is adjourned, thank you to members of lafco, and members of the san francisco public utilities commission. >> congratulations, i am very pleased. i want to thank the staff a lafco and the puc. it has been a long road, the activists and the stakeholders to get us to this point. i encourage you and urge you to stay involved with the board of

supervisors and the conversation there because i think there is work to be done on figuring out and finalizing this issue. >> thank you to the rest of staff and advocates, meeting adjourned.

>> the right to vote allows us to vote for candidates or party and it is a significant way to have our voice heard. exactly 100 years ago, women were given the vote in california. the battle for women's suffrage was not an easy one. it took more than 70 years. a woman could run for president in new york.

>> organizing this conference, basically it modeled itself on a declaration of independence for women. it marked the beginning of the women's equality movement in the united states. >> at that time, women were banned from holding property and voting in elections. >> susan b. anthony dedicated her life to reform. >> suffrage in the middle of the 19th century accomplished one goal, it was diametrically opposed to this idea.

>> many feared it would be corrupted by politics. >> women in the 19th century had to convince male voters that having the vote would not change anything. that woman would still be devoted to the home, the family, that they would remain pure and innocent, that having the vote would not corrupt them. >> support gradually grew in state and local campaigns. >> leaders like ellen clark sgt come repeatedly stopping these meetings -- , repeatedly stopping these meetings as a politically active figure. doing everything they could to ground the campaign in domesticity.

>> despite their efforts, the link made it tough whenever voters were in the big city. a specialist in francisco. >> the problem with san francisco is that women's suffrage as an idea was associated. >> susan b. anthony joined the provision party. a deadly idea in san francisco. liquor was the foundation of the economy. and >> anything that touched on the possibility of prohibition was greatly and popular. >> the first campaign was a great effort, but not a success.

>> the war was not over. less than one decade later, a graphic protests brought new life to the movement. >> women's suffrage, the republican convention in oakland, this time it was the private sector response. 300 marched down the streets of the convention center. women were entitled to be here. >> joining together for another campaign. >> women opened a club in san francisco. it was called the votes for

women club. if she could get the shopkeepers to have lunch, she could get them to be heard literature. the lunch room was a tremendous success. >> it was the way that people thought about women willing to fight for a successful campaign. what happened was, the social transformation increase the boundary of what was possible, out word. >> there were parades and rallies, door to door candidacies, reaching every voter in the state. >> the eyes of the nation were on california in 1911, when we all voted. it was the sixth and largest state in the nation to approve

this. one decade later, we have full voting rights in the united states. helping newly enfranchised women, a new political movement was founded. >> starting in the 1920's, it was a movement created by the suffragettes moving forward to getting the right to vote. all of the suffragettes were interested in educating the new voters. >> non-partisan, not endorsing candidates >> -- endorsing candidates, getting the right to vote and one they have their voice heard.

>> the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage is taking place throughout the state. bancroft library is having an exhibit that highlights the women's suffrage movement, chronicling what happened in california, bringing women the right to vote. >> how long does this mean going on? >> the week of the 20th. people do not realize that women were allowed to vote as early as the 1920's. in the library collection we have a manuscript from the end of december, possibly longer. >> in commemoration of 100 years of voting in california.

100 years ago this year, we won the right to vote. around 1911, this is how it would have addressed. and here we are, dressed the same. [chanting] >> we have the right to vote. >> whether you are marching for a cause or voting in the next election, make your voice heard. thank you for watching.
