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?
