shortly. >> president torres: there will be no votes taken until we have a majority of those present and voting. two commissioners are out today. so we're dealing with a bare majority quorum. what i'd like to do is just call the roll initially. >> secretary hood: president torres, here president vice president courtney, here. commission cane is expected shortly and commissioners moran and vietor are excused from today's meeting. >> president torres: thank you very much. we'rev1ñ?ñ? going to move pass the approval of the minutes until we get a quorum. i'dcgñ?ñ? like to open it up now to public$qñ?ñ? comments/ welcome, doctor. >> thank you very much, sweetheart.

maybe they don't know in the back that i am not doctor espanola jackson doctor of humanities. so what i came for today, i just left a meeting in bayview because there's a lot of things going on in my community. and i had stated that i will come and request, to our new manager to come ñ?ñ? to -- as you know, i am the founder offiñ?ñ? the black human rights leadership council ofnçñ?ñ? san francisco. and with all the concerns that we have in our community, we felt it was time for the head of the puc to come and address and hear the complaints. we have plenty of them. and i would like, when you come, also, the request i had made a couple of meetings ago about your staff, i meant a staff member you have, and i want to know how many have been hired, that live in bayview hunters

point. and i would like to know the ratio of the staff here at puc. because i'm getting complaints, and i'm getting concerns of people -- you know, they won't call you but they call me because they think i can do something about it. so i want you to come so you be prepared, and you don't have to bring a bodyguard because we're not going to let them9pñ?ñ? beat you up. we want you to hear what our concernslññ?ñ? are. if one of your commissions would like to6jñ?ñ? come i will be more than happy for you to come and hear so you can understand the complaints of bayview hunters point. thank you so very much. you have a blessed day. >> president torres: i will be happy to escort mr. kelly. >> harlan kelly: we'll work out ao5ñ?ñ? schedule. >> president torres: mr. costamñ?ñ?

mr. costa. >> we have a president that will be president for the next four years. and i say this because if you do not get it, meaning, you know, the party that the president belongs to if we do not listen to the minorities, and if wellcerx do not listen to what is happening in our nation and if we don't have the ability to take the pulse of what is happening in our smaller communities then we know what's going to happen. so having said that, always, for the lastá fostered working with

grassroots. the last time i was here in a meeting and a couple of meeting came and started talking about the local business enterprise. so i had a lot of patience. but i did go to committee the committee being committee, that holds meetings within the human rights commission, and i'm going to throw out some names, one is miguel and the other one is mr. reuben santana, both my good friends. nothing whatsoever went to that committee19ñ?ñ?. some people can say whatever they want to, but i don't like when people lie. that's number one. number two i try to explain to you there's going to be a lot of changes within the human rights commission.

so if the city administrator now is going to have jurisdiction over those things, we need to do it in a manner where, with"xñ?ñ? the sewer system improvement project saying that backwards, butlññ?ñ? we are fair with the constituents whok"sbs+pç live in san francisco. and quhulñ?ñ?ñ when i say fair, i mean seriously we cannot wait for the 11th hour to bring people on board to do the work. we need training, we need skilled workersíg;[w k? @&c @&c"p% we/,>$x giving people jobs fordxñ?ñ? two or three weeks. i'm talking career jobs. all of you all knowzñ?ñ? this. we have some good commissioners. they all know them. so what i'm saying is if you focush( jobs, that will be apprec açár2 and i thank you for your time. >> president torres: thank you

very much. any further publicgúnnymñ comments? please identify+qe >> andrewwú5grrvç lipset. i'm coming before you again to ask how we are looking at things --elç mr. costa he wants jobs but looking at it as a ratepayer. if we keep the rates as low as possible wfy&&u,ó don't needoñ?ñ?ñ to -- it's kind of a balancing act. is we can't push&xñ?ñ? jobs too far ahead of where the rates are. this is already here, that we're paying these rates,< /p want to make sure that our rates stay as low as possible. and i 3xra!z%ñ don't see how we are considering looking at each way we're doing our projects to make sure we are getting the lowest possible costjó á$ for the best bang. we're just not seemyyh:ç if you look at the way things

are going, we have = of jobséxñ?ñ? through that are getting a little concerning in terms ofn÷ñ?ñ?ñ cost. and we haven't seen follow-through, where we've just had a large break@0tnvañ in sunnydale. we haven't seen the report as to what's actually wac%2 pökjcçw-zyñif thatnññ?ñ?ñ a manufacturing defect, was a construction defect was that something -- that waso-f9íp+bv part of the project that was supposed to last 50 years and it didn't last that long|]mdó not nearly long enough. so i'm --=ylvba9áuáu seems that we're not necessarily looking at some of the smallerbeh t issues that are what's visible to at least us as?í yratepayers. >> president torres: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> president torres: any further public comment? pleaseemew9úeu)tk yourself. >> my name is robert wood. i'maîvú with the black human rights leadershipf uñh&ñ council.=pñ?ñh7

{[ úód and we have a problem in our community, and the problem is it has gone past the dire need. our community is crippled out there. we're crippled. we need drug programs. we need to get -- put a)= drug program in place, justqgñ?ñ? to get them ready to work, to get themmpñ?ñ? ready to meet,agñ?ñ? what is required for them to be a productive person on the streets,kw/9 san francisco, with the income is what itucñ?ñ? is. and when you look at what the community -- what the average income inyqç.

hillside -- (phone >;q once they -- if they complete the work, then they've got to come back toe6ujeuf the community, and they won't evenk4 they haven't worked in 40 years3ao or longer. and i'm saying our community is crippled.g[4qó we need something to get them ready,9zñ?ñ? to get where they can even start3lexxw9ñ the work, to be productive. if not, only thing you do, givtvb them months, and next thing you know, they'll beiîtx streets dealing with an undergroundmj ñ and underground economy is live andó÷h]ww'í well. we ask you to not only just think about th% as jobs is ñ?ñ? concerned, but put a jobsgó6zcgççñ?ñ? program in the community

that you can get them ready for(ñ?ñ?ñúzh it. that's after they get cleaned up. so i'm not saying that everybody's out there on drugsïk&c"p% no. there's some folks out there that really want a job, but they can't get]i l% one. we can't whistle past the graveyard no"7pk3ym#lñ?ñ? more. they are awake and they know that you're coming out ñ?ñ?ñ? third street and you know they comingí÷ñ?ñ?ñ out third street. but if they can qualify for a job you're5u5kdv about to cripple thisivñ?ñ? community and gentrification will set in.pnñ?ñ? so we ask you to please help the community. thank you. >> president torres: thankn:ñ?ñ? you. well put. any further public ñ?ñ? comments? >> eric brooks representingk÷ñ?ñ? san francisco green party and theri5fgwb local grassroots organization, ourboñ?ñ? city. you probably remember a couple of weeks ago we had ag;á major water problem ñ?ñ? out at treasure

island, and it became necessary to test the water#y&w(r there toueñ?ñ? make sure it was safe for people to continue drinking it. and t;>8 the reason i bring this up is that this dovetails with another problem you've probablyt#orucf seen in the papers around treasure island and that is that the navy recentlyç9o that there is a possibility of much more radiocontamination therekf;4ç than theymyñ?ñ? had thought previously. there's been a lot of controversy,hñ?ñ and debate both on the state level and on the city level about this. notably when many of us/e7jkyé wentowñ?ñ? to board hearings about the budget and finance and;uñ?ñ?ñ said look, this is serious you need to put on the brakes and really make sure you identifyi #;>z all%ñ?ñ? the radioactive problems out there, and one of the things that waspoñ? highlighted by treasure island residents and??ñ?ñ?3 environmental organizers is that the water needs to be checked not just for microbe+=)qí&z4÷ñ?ñ?

which is probably who sf puc did but check form=! yát(ur+eñu outrageously, the staff response to those statements around checking themu ) at treasure islandyñ?ñ? is either green or brown by the way is -)g739xzrñ?ñ that oh, we don't have to worry about radiation getting into the pipes because the pipes have water inuu1 úík them, that's under pressure and so nothing can leak in.( commissioner moran's not here but he would be first onevá tell you that that's añeñ?ñ? ludicrous assertion. because when you had a problem $ñ the one we had a couple of weeks ago the water pressure goes away and materialsvxc of the pipes can leak in through cracks. so i was hoping that you folksçximqp could contact staff, and if they still have the water samples thatdmqmn they took to follow up on thatñsñ?ñ?ñ accident, please hold onto themtvtl see if they can do a wider spectrumir

contaminants and radiation. there are going to be other tests that hopef3mm of ñ?ñ? supervisors will be mandating to follow up and do a much better jobmñ?ñ? on scoping out what's going on at treasure island. but that might be anxlñ?ñ? opportunity, if you still got those 1ñ to test those as well and see if there's any problem. thanks. >> president torres: anylñ?ñ? further public comment? there being none would you call the!0ek >> secretary hood: presidentzy=$ torres,pqñ?ñ?ñ here, vice president courtney, kñ?ñ? here, vice president caen. >> president torres: we havezdñ?ñ?ñ a quorum. accepting thepyksj minutes from theiiñ?ñ october 23rd meeting, we'll entertain a motion moved by commissioner courtney, seconded+vñ?ñ? by commissioner caen. those in favor signal by saying aye. >>r >> president torres: minutes ñ?ñ? are approved. communicates, we have a list of communicationsñ?ñ? that have

>> everyone knows we don't really ever retire. >> president torres: yes. if you come up, we'll take a

picture with you and the commission. pngetsz thank you supervisor.

please continue. >> so the next item is a update of the clean power sf, barbara hill. >> good afternoon commissioners. barbara hale, assistant general manager for power. i have distributed and available on the table our latest timeline of activities for clean power sf. one item i want to draw your attention to is that, today we will be asking you later in the agenda to approve the implementation plan that's required under state law to be filed at the california public utilities commission. we already had one filed and approved. now that we have modified the program identified our counterparty who will be providing our full requirement supply, we need to revise the

filed plan and that is item 16 on the agenda today. so that's one of the early items in the timeline that i distributed. i also wanted to give you a preview of the materials we'll be going over at the joint meeting, between the puc and lafco that's on november 30. wanted to give you an opportunity to preview it. we will be asking you to take action on november 30, on our customer notification and education plan, and to release the remaining fund for our communications contract. so what i have before you is -- i think very consistent with the direction you've given us and with the amended legislation, the amended program.

so the customer notification and education plan that we are developing is based on the market research and community engagement that we've already conducted. it inc. rates this new -- incorporates this new component of early notification period. this early notification period is intended to be consistent with mayor lee's direction with the board of supervisors direction with your intent, that we ensure all san franciscans are well informed about the program, and have had an opportunity to express their level of interest in it given the level of financial commitment, they will be making as a household to the program, and its enhanced renewable attributes relative to the supply that pg&e is currently providing. in that early notification

period, we're going to be reaching out to between 10 and 20,000 households here in the city to ask them to express their level of interest. once we've informed them about the rates that they would see, what sort of a premium we could expect them to pay what the character of the supply is once we educate them about the program, this is intended to be a face-to-face conversation or a phone-to-phone conversation, where we'll really have a chance to test our prospective customers level of interest. it's our intention then to have a real solid read for you on the level of interest prior to coming to you and asking for authority to sign for the general manager to sign the contract with shell energy north america and kick the program off off. that early notification period

needs to meld well with the formal launch of the statutory opt out period that's the opt out program we've talked about before that's required by the state. so we want those two components to work well together. we'll be presenting to you our key communication strategies and our overall budget, and again the proposed clean power sf timeline that factors in these changes and in particular the early notification period concept. to given you a quick overview of the timeline, and with an emphasis on the action item for you, i'm turning to slide three, where, at this time period we are reaching out to yourselves to members of the board, to the mayor's office we having the joint meeting with lafco to make sure we're really on track with the intentions from the board and the mayor, making sure that

we are putting together a customer notification education plan that's supportive of your intentions. we'll be asking you to approve that plan on the 30th in the joint meeting, and also to allow us to go forward with the communications consultant, our contractor. then in the first quarter of next year, we expect we will be surveying -- conducting our third citywide survey of prospective customers. we will then be presenting to you our adopted not to exceed rates asking you to adopt -- excuse me the not to exceed rates for the program in february. then that will start under the rate requirements, that will start the 30 day clock, where the board of supervisors will then have an opportunity to consider their comfort with those not-to-exceed rates.

and then by mid-march, we'll know if we have a program offering that the policy-makers agree is affordable to san franciscans. then in the second quarter we'll begin that early notification effort that i mentioned. and we'll be coming to the commission in june to ask each of you to review the findings of the customer survey of our early notification efforts, and authorize mr. kelly to sign the shell energy north america master agreement. by the third quarter of 2013 we should be -- we should have signed our shell energy north america master agreement and be testing then, with shell, what the actual prices are that they can bring the supply to us at. recall that under the master

agreement, once that agreement is signed, we have five months to settle on with shell, the price the wholesale price that we will commit to for the megawatt hours we're purchasing from them. if during that five month period we can't come to an agreement, we don't believe the price they're bringing to us will result in a program that we can successfully provide to our customers, then after that five month period we may -- we have the discretion to say thanks, but no thanks we are -- we're not going to go further with this program offering with shell. likewise, they could also walk away no harm, no foul, no financial obligation. if we aren't able to reach agreement on what that price should be. they will solicit the market for what the market will sell power to them for, then they will bring that to us and say are you ready to commit. we may go through a couple of

rounds of that before we get to a price point that we think, as staff, we should bring to you for consideration. but we do have a limited time period in which to have that effort run its course. once we have settled on a confirmation, assuming we do with shell energy north america then we would be making that commitment to purchase the supply from them. we estimate it will cost about $38 million, and it will be for four and a half years under -- as defined in the master agreement that you've already authorized. once that confirmation is complete, if it gets completed we will start the statutory opt out requirements and begin our overall education and notification process with the rest of san francisco, if you will, making sure that folks that we're targeting for service really understand the
