this dovetails on the last point that i have been falling pretty closely governor brown's new appointments to the cpuc and pc. they're pretty exciting. we also need to have a little bit of caution here. they're exciting because they are incredibly strong consumer advocates being appointed. likely, a third one is to come. those same advocates in the past have needed some convincing on cca and sometimes were not that thrilled about it. i was strongly urge staff to individually reach out to all of these new commissioners to make really clear to them how important cca is, not just for the environment, but anyone who knows a lot about cca knows that it will be very good for ratepayers. that is especially in the long term when the revenue comes and

for renewable. let's make sure these consumer- oriented commissioners are really aware of the details and importance of cca and to how important it is to us that we want this to happen. it is also important to the competition. thanks. commissioner campos: thank you. is there any member of the public would like to speak? public comment is closed. we have a resolution before us. have a motion by commissioner mirkarimi seconded by commissioner schmeltzer. can we take that without objection? done. please call the next item. >> item 6, authorization to amend the legal services agreement with miller, 01, and trost to extend the term to february 20, 2012. >> ms. miller's contract will

expire at the end of february. we decided to bring this to you now. february will be a joint meeting. we wanted to get the head of the game and get that contract approved. we have learned over the years, we have had a full year of having a full-time staff on board, what the ratio when breakdown as of how much time she spends on cca direct work, which comes out of the cca fund, and the general fund side, the cca side -- the general fund side, and how that works out. we're asking for $125,000 not to exceed the amount for this upcoming year. $20,000 of that will be coming out of the general fund side, which is out of our reserves, which is what we have been sending down. we will have a full report in march on the next fiscal year's budget process. $20,000 will come from the rest of that. the rest of it will come from the cca fund.

the puc is $105,000 for that. those are the basic point. based on what transpired in this last year, this is adequate. we get her services and don't have to come back here. we can keep an eye on it and make sure it does not gets spent in the wrong way. commissioner campos: what is the current general fund expenditures for this year? for this contract? >> the one for the previous contract was $50,000 out of the cca fund and $30,000 out of the general fund. commissioner campos: it is a reduction. >> in terms of the general fund. correct. commissioner campos: commissioner mirkarimi? commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. i want to remind commissioners that for the last three years, we have rejected all increases in budgets out of lafco. we turned them back to the general fund.

what has been sustaining lafco has been the rollover of the amount. the fact that miss miller, who has been doing an excellent job in helping us monitor the bidding process, i believe we need more at the table. there has been an extraordinary use of city attorney and legal counsel time that we have seen in the first phase of the bidding process that we did not get to benefit from the time of having miss miller there as much as we would like to. that may contribute to the reduction on the pc side -- puc side. it could expedite or accelerate the process. the increase is a reasonable one with regard to activating ms. miller more in away at the bidding process. commissioner campos: thank you,

commissioner appeared colleagues, any other questions? why don't we open it up to public comment? is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? public comment is closed. can we have a motion to authorize the amendment of the legal services agreement? motion by commissioner mirkarimi, seconded by commissioner avalos. can we take that without objection? item passes. please call the next item. >> item 7, executive officer's report. >> i want to thank you for the previous item. it is typical to sit while you -- while your own contract is being discussed. this will be brief. first, i wanted to report back to you on the pull-mounted solar program. you may recall that we had a program we talked to you about that we thought might dovetail in with the second phase of the cca program and locals sold

requirements. the program is out of new jersey. they are also doing a pilot project in los angeles and arizona, and mexico. sfpuc has been very helpful in accommodating to meeting with them and setting of potential sites for them to do the demonstration here in san francisco. secondly, i wanted to give a brief report on the fact of the legislation that we were directed and had had some discussions about at our last meeting. we are moving forward in discussions with legislative staff and the different parties that make up the world in the state of california. we are hoping to have legislation introduced this legislative year. with that, i would like to have

jason introduce to you our new intern. >> jason, lafco staff. two items, the introduction of two in terms that started with us, this month. hopefully, they will be with us as they go through school. one is andrea taurus -- torres. they both go to usf. they have provided us with two great student to help us with this program. i look forward to continuing working with them. they have extensive background in environmental policy and issues. they will be a good addition to our program in helping get future generations of environmentalists out there and working on environmental issues in the future. i want to thank them for coming here today. one marks in the morning of the

other in the afternoon. it worked out perfectly that they're not competing with each other at the desk at the same time. i want to thank them for being here today. you may have seen me out in public this last week. i have talked about launching our photo contest to promote the clean power sf program. the goal is to take the mailer we sent last year -- we have been able to go to 10 different stores throughout the city and get materials in their stores with fliers advertising the program. people will become more aware of the program. partly with the help of our interns, including our summer intern, they put together a great prize for this program. the grand prize finalist will get a $100 gift certificate to a high-quality printing company, as well as a prize package for -- the winner will be two

tickets to the san francisco zoo, the museum of modern art, and the exploratory anium. beyond that, everyone will get 15 percent off sign -- get 50% off. the first one to five people will get tote bags made in san francisco. all of our prizes are coming out of san francisco. i will encourage every one of their to submit vote goes to was. go to the website, cleanpowersf.org. i want to thank commissioners mirkarimi and avalos. they sent out newsletters with tax about our program as well.

if anyone has questions, call us at the office and we will give you details. commissioner campos: what is the deadline? >> all photos need to be submitted by february 17 at 5:00 p.m. commissioner campos: thanks. thank you very much. i want to welcome the interns. thank you for being here. we have at least one alum from usf sitting on lafco. it makes sense he would be helping us. is there any member of the public who would like to speak on this item? >> real quickly, jason, and i hope i am not busting you out, but that printing company, i'm hoping their union shop. if they're not, i wanted to propose another company we could look for for the next gift

certificate. we use a printer in the bayview that uses 100% wind power to power of their printing. we have used them for our report we did on local hiring with chinese affirmative action. they are great. it is probably a union shop. >> i don't officially know if they are union. it is not a print shop you're thinking of, where they do mass of printing. it is individually owned. they have a lab. use it on your own and print your photos to their printers. it is not a photo printing process you are thinking of. it is an independent, a different situation. >> these guys are good for large and small. they're great outfit down there. i just really liked them. i don't know if this is legit to do.

union shop, 100% wind-powered. commissioner campos: you just did it. thank you. any other member of the public who would like to speak or provide a commercial? public comment is closed. if you could please call item number 8? >> public comment for items not on the agenda. commissioner campos: this is an opportunity for any member of the public to comment on any item within the jurisdiction of lafco not on the agenda today. >> a couple of -- three important things to go for quickly. it is something i mentioned a couple of times a year at lafco. it has become far more important. we have seen at the fcc in washington, d.c., that the chairman who we thought would be a staunch defender of net

neutrality has moved forward a new rule that is going to divide net neutrality, especially for wireless internet customers. it will no longer be that freedom. this is an opportunity to remind lafco that we are not just about clean energy. we had hearings in the past about the internet and local internet service. i think we really need to get on top now. the fcc has done what it is -- what it has done. get on top of hearings of how we will build a city on fiber-optic systems so we can get around what the fcc just did. we need to do it soon. another point is that this monday there will be a meeting at the sfpuc about the san francisco electric reliability plan, and new plan. i think lafco should get into that and agendas that so we are talking about it. there are some differences from

the group's as to where it is headed right now. the final thing i would say, and i say it on behalf of myself as an individual organizer, most of you got an e-mail from me. i think this is the right way to go. you might be surprised to hear a radical pit bull like me suggest that. with one of the keys to cca being green jobs and uplifting communities with those brain jobs, i think it would be a real important thing for lafco to do to outreach to district 10 so that crown 04 green jobs -- so that ground zero for green jobs -- so we're bringing district 10 firmly into this conversation. as a move forward, we are making

sure the green jobs component and local hiring component is really front and center to this process. clean energy means nothing if we are not doing it for local employees to build stuff and to the other tasks needed for it. thanks. commissioner campos: next speaker, please. >> i just want to say that rainbow grocery has the best -- i want to say that sometimes we talked about agendizing a hearing around the discussion of how to move the job creation component and guarantee the targeted local hiring efforts of that community choice and the build out of getting to the locals. i want to maybe put that back on the table as a possible agenda item. if you take the 2007 mirkarimi community choice ordinance and you add the avalos local hiring

law, coupled that with the support we have from the general manager at harrington, who stood up in support of the hiring law, you have the recipe for greatness. that is a thought for a future agenda item. commissioner campos: thank you very much. any other member of the public would like to speak? public comment is closed. thank you very much for your excellent comments. if you could please call item number 9. >> item 9, future agenda items. commissioner campos: many of the speaker's book to this item. is there any member of lafco like to add anything? commissioner mirkarimi: i agree with a couple of the public comments that were made about future agenda items. i think that we should agendize on the electricity resource plan. i think it is important. i absolutely support rep to the idea. we attempted to do this in other

areas of interest. lafco's reach is considerable. the range of issues before lafco is really expensive, land use, housing, transit, and in other counties that exercise statutory authority in lafco, many counties, some of them are very rural and some are very urban, still exercise a great amount of their own authority on issues that we just have not entertained, though we considered this back in 2006 and 2007. the attention has been so demanding of us to stick to the question on cca's public policy, but i recommend that in the future, we begin to calendar what those other areas may look like, especially because there is such great demand coming from

the regional cooperation plan on housing and transit tolls and land use the man's -- i think lafco would have something to say. commissioner campos: think you come a commissioner. just to add my comments to it, i do think a lot of excellent points have been raised. vice chair mirkarimi indicated that lafco provides a tool wrote -- a tool to explore a number of issues. it really can be a good government tool to explore a number of areas. i look forward to hearing suggestions from members of the commission and members of the public in other agencies as to how to proceed. is there any member of the public who would like to add anything to this item? public comment is closed. madam clark, you can call the

next item. do we have any other business? >> item 10, adjournment. commissioner campos: great. thank you very much. meeting adjourned.

icycle plant. our work with the mta facilitated activities. we spent considerable amounts of time considering an approving the latest update to the plan, providing clear ride visions for what can be accomplished in the next few decades. we also approved 22 prioritizations in sales of tax dollars for all districts of the city. those prior programs give us a

very useful bird's-eye view of the sort of progress that we can expect in each area of the city in our fundamental position to compete successfully for regional, state, and federal funds at a time when competition is tougher than ever. at the end of 2010 we saw a culmination of a three year long mobility study funded by the federal government in an effort to generate an american vision that has been successful in other parts of the world. we succeeded in asking the right questions, even though some of the answer still await completion. making sure that we close of the $150 million debt on the central son -- central subway funding plan, securing full funding from congress to bring $1 billion to the congress. achieved through the fund swap,

becoming another way to leverage the power of this blockade for the benefit of the city's transportation program. this was the year that we had to step up in the congestion management agency. the interface between the city's network and proposed high-speed rail line to link us with los angeles is an issue of daunting scale. we work through the year to make sure that the city could develop a coordinated position that could be delivered to the camp -- california high-speed rail authority. the sustainable strategy became another area of significant activity as we entered in phase closely with government and municipal transportation authority. this work will not only bear fruit in the next year as the

regional transportation plan for infrastructure and investment strategy begins to reflect san francisco's needs and expectations, as well as its competitive position when it comes to projects that deliver performance by an efficiency in an already compact urban environment. excuse me. i personally spent a significant amount of time working on this issue, reaching out to my colleagues and authorities around the bay area to cultivate the different elements. if this was not enough, we manage to get opportunities in 2010 securing the additional $5 million for san francisco transportation projects in the future. it was our first and only ballot measure to receive the effort. we have finally prepared the

authority for the issue that i expect will happen in 2011 with another 100% clean fiscal audit. lots of activity. very rewarding results for everyone here. the pleasure of working with all of you in this collegial manner with colleagues that have left us with a first-rate transportation authority staff on issues that are significant to the future of this city and helping the city lead the state and the nation. i am especially thankful for the help of the authorities two committees and the dedication of the commission shares -- chairs. i have been honored to have your trust over the past 12 months. thank you. this concludes my remarks. thank you. i called them together.

we will do public comment afterwards. >> good morning, commissioners. executive director. i have a power point that i would like to do for you on the annual report. in appreciation for your time i will not give you specific observations today. i will wait until that moment. i will of course be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. -- supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. those are the shortest remarks you have ever given. along with the longest remarks i have ever given. [laughter] now, if anyone has any comments -- we welcome public comment for any of these. seeing no one, public comment is closed. please read the next item. >> item #5, election of chair

and vice chair. this is an action item. the election of -- supervisor mirkarimi: i believe that we are -- sorry -- supervisor campos pella supervisor campos: -- supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you. it is a short term, only 12 months. a lot has happened over the past 12 months. for purposes of continuity because of the work that is ongoing, it makes sense for us to retain the very important role that the chair has played. so, i supervisor mirkarimi: would -- i would nominate supervisor mirkarimi to continue as the chair of the authority. things to be
