that was tremendous barriers for folks taking initiative on their own to create the energy all the times you have water xhefrm and making that something personally they wanted to contributed to the climate change in the world. that codify view was something many my mind when this program started fortunately it was stalled out bus of the fear from the financial sectors particularly freddie mac and fannie mae. but as a result as we've throughout through it there were other participates that stepped up. i i'd like to take this opportunity to not only thank

xhaerl for restarting this program and calling upon our department to lead the way with all the other partners we've identified today but; right when governor jerry brown said this was something right and the state should offer up to $10 million of back up just in case people have a fear it's about reducing the boyer's for people to make the choices by people who want to parent. we're reminded of that recently because this launch of the program is relevant today as we've all trying to help the victims of the typhoon recover and storms of this nature are on our minds as well as other climate changes as we want to make our world alert better.

scientists continue to tell you those storms will only get worse because of climate change. that's why our response to 81 phenomena's has to go beyond disaster relief. so knowing that 50 percent of our greenhouse gas echoes come from that the more we can do on a individual basis and the more our cities hopes to reduce the barriers of the out lay that has to happen with those particular programs and the costs associated with that we can help individual make the right decisions to green sf is one of the lubrications solutions. i am circling the depth with

melanie to help put this together. she's already whispered in my ear you're going to be front and center of this program. we want this program to be made available to all our san franciscan homeownership's right now and remove a obstacle to help renew our energy systems. through this system homeownership's can make payment through their property tax bill that can prepared. >> 20 years of payment that helps to eliminate the large costs for those ub8dz and combined with other energy watch and water conservatism rebates

it can help people save money on wave and this makes economic success that were we can as sxhaefrl adequately explains this will have an increased demand for this program for water skepticism and energy conservatism projects it will yeast good jobs that will be sustainable for a long time. we invest in you to be the skill set the people working on people's homes 0 you can have good clean green jobs and we'll begin by hiring people in the spanish community to have faith so this program will be theirs for all generations as well are

that annoyed leadership is what we want we can reduce greenhouse gas motions and save city and families money. we've done it the san francisco way by consensus bringing people our environmental friends and our contractor community. i want to thank governor jerry brown because he's been educating people up and down this state. i'm going to be one of the mayors that's working with governor jerry brown he's not only educating people but putting serious money behind it to do it the right way. i want to thank supervisor farrell to restart green sf and we look forward to building more
