(reading): >> item 9, (reading from agenda.). >> this is the came item that you heard or july 24, at that point, you asked us to to back and seek further input from the over site bond committee and [?] we have their input as well

as the input from commissioner [inaudible]. there are 3 slides of summarized of key changes. if i pay go through those on the slide projector. the sit zbensz advisory committee was very placeed with the commissions actions in elevating key policy items in addition to all of the procedures and best practices that we do. but, to look at some of the over arching issues. we should be smart how we employ our technology. our one device policy, should help minimize costs for technology, with computer, laptop, or other wise. we've caution abilities security components. we've

incorporateed that. they've appreciateed the over archling budget and capital. they encouraged us to redouble our efforts to look at systematic hierms. and look at recycling. do not limitment scope.. at that meeting, we also received one public comment, that encouraged this khition to look at expanding it focus to fiber band. the next bond discussed. their input included they wanted to make sure the noteed the expanse of how we look at technology. they ask that we include something. the

processes and procedure us. the tangible and intangible procedures. so, we've included that in the proposed edits before you : clients cost is consistent with our total cost approach. that's what we do, where we can, according to jenny accepted accounting principle, from the july 20 4 meeting, they were to tighten up the policy and make it consistent with the community benefits policy, and environmental justice policy, look to optimize sustainability. threw commissioner vietor, and adaptation to climate change. all those changes having made

in the red line copy that you see before you. >> thank you commissioners. >> i'd like to moveed policy. >> okay. moved. life i seconded. >> and seconded . i do have a question, first of all, a comment, i think the changes made during the review process improveded policy, and i appreciate the people taking the time and effort to focus on that, i did have one question. in the red line for the environmental principles and criteria, the first bullet point talked about seeks technology to optimize sustainability, what was eliminated. in the treatment of utility service. i was wondering what the thought was behind that deletion.

>> the thought was not to limit it to our direct you till taoeg provision, but, to the degree we had work foertionz dwoement programs, so, not to be limiting, but, it can either stay in or go out. >> okay. i guess i'd like to hear some discussion of that. one of the things that i want today make sure is that, where we are pumping the envelope on technology, that there be a real utility link. so, that job is still the job and we can use green technology. so, i like the linkage to the utility service. when i read t i read it could limit, like the intellectual property, that's

not my intent. that's value added to it. my question is, is there really an incompatibility. was the intent to explore technology that has nothing to do with our utility mission? or not? >> no, it's central to our utility mission. one example could be the new video law, 525 golden gate it's incredible for outreach and education. does it help us in the treatment of waste wa*etion. not directly, but, indirectly, that was one of the ideas where technology that we've adopted to achieve multiple objectives. >> okay, i can accept that language. the thing i want to be clear about, and i've used

the analogy before. i believe in affordable and accessible child care. i believe very strongly in that. i am delighted that our office building has that kind of facile tie for the employees. i am not interested in the puc taking on providing child care for the city as a whole. that's the distinction. i want to make sure we keep our focus on what is our job. do it sfwel regently. so, with na understanding, i appreciate your clarification. i have no objection to the language that's tl.s >> thank you. >> thank you. any other comment, commissioners. mr. ppillpal. >> david pilpal. this
