word there. it not balance the plan. it's basically to enable us to have a plan. >> implement the plan? >> i don't know why we can't accept the projections. i don't understand. it just seems very simple to say we accept what we are seeing and -- >> it's not a plan. >> it's not a plan. it's a projection. >> what we want to point out is that a plan basically if we were to look at what exist, this is what the plan would look like. and we know that is unacceptable but this is the plan that it looks like giving all the information we have now. it's a plan, it's not a good plan because we need to fix it. and so we have identified the things that we want to do to fix it. we are going to increase revenue,

decrease operating cost. right? or combination of it. if you look at the revenue side, we've talked about new customers, direct customers, look at cca or whatever we can do to increase the revenue. as far as operating, we are looking at deferring capital, we are looking at evaluating mount tunnel to see what we can do on that. so we are going to look at everything and that's why when i brought it up that we talked about workshops quarterly workshops. so, i do understand that there is some he is -- hesitating to a plan. it is a projection that we'll identify this is a current status. the question

is what verbiage we put here to recognize that with the new challenges this is the projection, but but maybe us have come quarterly to bring this back into balance. >> if we were to say that we, that the commission as a result of the commission adopts a 10-year plan for water and wastewater enterprises and a projection for hetch hetchy water and power with the direction to come back quarterly -- >> to bring the budget into balance? right? >> to bring the financial plan into balance consistent with the reserves policy. >> yeah. i would say in order to establish the hetch hetchy

enterprise. >> that is acceptable plan. >> is that your motion, commissioner moran? >> i'm fine with that motion. >> mr. president, can we have that completely read how you want it to read? >> how about it commissioner moran? >> sure that this commission adopts the attached sf spuk financial plan for 2013-2015 through fiscal year 23-24 for the water and wastewater enterprises and adopts the 10-year financial projections for hetch hetchy water and power including the power enterprise -- strike that and hereby find the quarterly updates for hetch hetchy water and power including the power enterprise will be under taken

in order to establish a 10-year plan for hetch hetchy water and power. >> commissioner vietor? >> is that okay as far as the budget process the moving it forward. is that going to address some of the concerns whether political and practical and tactical? >> from my standpoint, i think it serves the purpose of acknowledging the projection and the seriousness of it that we are asked to come quarterly and give you an update on the status. for me, it's a good language, today, what do you think? >> just practicalally, it allows us to submit our paperwork and be on track to come back to you and give you the next quarterly update as well when we give you the

next quarterly budget report. it's been an incredible ability to have the balance in capital plan and 10-year financial plan for the last couple of years. that's not typical. so it's been wonderful, but this is something that other departments including the general fund grapple with deferred capital needs as well and oftentimes show an unbalanced capital plan. so i think this gets to what we need to for today.> i would like to as a whereas. it says it until the calendar item but not on the resolution. i think it's important in this resolution to recognize that the reason we are taking this action is because it does not

conform with our fund balances and shows an unbalanced budget. that language might be too much. but projection do not conform to balance reserves. to item 11. >> does that agree with you? >> it does. >> it's been amended. there is a motion on the floor which has been amended and the amendment is accepted. is there a second? >> second. >> okay, someone will tell me i did that wrong. i will call

for the question unless we call for public comment. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> the motion carries, well done, commissioners. next item please. i will call it. it's item no. 12 you have before you, commissioners? >> item no. 12 is the potential for consideration for an amendment or amendment of the whole recognizing and delegating to the general manager the authority to update this plan to be consistent with the board of supervisors approved general obligation bonds for earthquake safety. that item is before the board today as well. we didn't have a final

number. that's related to the auxiliary water smie system that is general obligation bond funding. >> item of that is in the file? >> item no. 12. it's the 10-year capital plan. and in front of you -- >> i would be glad to move the amended item with the same caveat that in terms of dealing with the 265 program. >> okay. if that's clear, it's been moved, is there a second. >> second. >> it's been moved and seconded. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> opposed? the ayes have it. the motion carries. the next item, madam secretary read it

item 13. motion to calendar public hearings on april 22nd #shgs 2014 and may 13 #shgs 2014 to consider the adoption of retail water and sewer rates on may 13 #shgs 2014 for fy 2014-15 through fy 2017-2018, effective july 1, 2014. >> i would move that accept that we have that discussion when it comes back to us. >> okay, it's been moved with a caveat. is there a second? >> second. >> second. is there any public comment. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> opposed? the item carries. please call the next item.

>> city clerk: item 14. motion to calendar of a public hearing on may 13 #shgs 2014 to consider the adoption of wholesale water rates for fq 2014. >> i will move that with the same caveat. >> is there a second. seconded by caen. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.. >> all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> opposed? the item carries. next item. >> city clerk: item 15. public comments on matters to be discussed in closed session. >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. i will entertain to discuss the matter listed. it's been moved and second. is there any discussion. hearing none, i will call for a vote. all in favor say, "aye".

>> aye. >> opposed. >> we have now returned from closed session. it's been moved and seconded not to disclose. all in favor say, "aye". >> the motion carries. commissioners, any other new business. item no. 27. i hate to do this to you. i have a couple items. >> i caught wind of the last local agency formation commission meeting the other day i know there were some conversations for this commission to not set rates. i would like a summary of what

was discussed during that meeting because if time passes we want to refresh our recollection as it relates to exactly what was decided and what was not because i'm not entirely sure the information exchanged was entirely accurate and we are getting a message from the lack local agency formation meeting and i would like to know what the agenda looks like and would like to have a conversation about what kind of calendaring works after we have added more items to our calendar. the other item was we had some conversations about a joint meeting with the commission on environment. i think we are all in agreement that that made some sense. we just weren't sure about the timing

of it. i think the general manager was correct in his effort to be a little bit more deliberate with the schedule and i think we'll learn that meeting will come to us on or about the second meeting in april. we look forward to seeing that notice. and finally for us, given lots of the conversations we are going to start having robust conversations about a lot of the value and the relative value and a lot of the things we do especially in communities that are in need whether they are arts grants or job training or internships and apprenticeship and i would like to have an at some point to have a presentation to this commission within the next few meetings specifically related to the areas of horticulture,

and looking on specifically areas of the southeast sector and most specifically at the 94124 area codes. these are discussions that i would like to have encapsulated. because the organization are at the collective bargaining table and i know i would like for us to be a little bit in front of it. that was all that i had. commissioners? >> yeah. in response to april date for the joint meeting, i this i -- think we just approved a budget hearing in april to set the rates at that time. i don't know how that plays out if that means

putting to have meetings. maybe there is two meetings in april, maybe it's that one meeting and one is the other. i don't know, donna, do you recall because i think we just prood -- approved a date. >> yeah. april 22nd and may 15th. >> so that needs to be resolved. >> unless we can fit. i would only be guessing but i would say you wouldn't want to restrict yourself to less than 2 hours. i think it's worth mentioning. one of the things we were trying to accomplish is making sure that folks understood that there were a lot of appropriate venues to air out a lot of these things and it wasn't that these folks just had to lineup and come in here. that environment is a

great resource and they have a lot of talent there and what i was hoping to be able to achieve in addition to other things, right, was to make sure that people made sure there was a completely acceptable forum to engage a lot of these topics and relive -- relieve some of the pressure. >> was there a topic? >> i know commissioner talked about food waste topic and we wanted to talk about sooner -- solar and committing a new customer base and puc grant opportunities and i have a sneaking suspicion that the folks there in that department and that commission will have a plethora of ideas for us to consider, right? i would assume --

>> i think that was it and we also talked about how the fiscal cliff or whatever we are calling it plays into our relationship with the department of the environment work order many i think there's a list. we didn't get into it in the budget but there was a list with the work orders with the multitude of departments but that was one thing that you raised. >> just a point of clarification, we have included in your package the budget on the cca with the energy efficiencies in there. and i think to exercise that, you actually need customers. >> you mean, that's what jason brought to us? that's important. i want to red flag that. because a lot of issues are happening and the minute we leave i'm going to be doing something else.

>> barbara hale in the budget power, in the budget summary to answer questions in the document in section 5 of your agenda, that packet of answers includes a memo that describes in greater detail the opportunities for receiving funding from through the california public utilities commission energy efficiency programming and it describes there, it goes into greater detail the issue that mr. freed spoke about during public comment. it's an area that we had evaluated previously shared thoughts with mr. freed on given on the comments he raised in public you asked for it. it's described in the memo in the packet. >> can you summarize? >> under the california public utilities commission rules you can under cca go to the city and ask for funds. the funds

are collected through investor on utility ratepayer bills. they bill for electricity and includes extra funds for the energy efficientcy program. the city is already doing that and we are part of the effort to increase energy fisherty and the department has implemented though funds and we might want to find out how they are spending those dollars that they have receiving to benefit city san franciscans. because we are a cca career choice aggregators, because we do that, it is assumed that you operate the cca at some point. you can't be a cca that only provides

energy efficiency services. you have to be energy efficient and the underlying supply. that's the vision. it doesn't, it's not really available to us unless we are ready to demonstrate our plan for a full cca as well. >> that doesn't completely cover what we did last time? >> it doesn't completely because they did receive funds prior to cca. they received energy efficiency funds. they are spending those dollars now with cca customers and non-cca customers and spending that on energy efficiency on the gas side and not just the electricity side. but they have ultimately operated their cca. >> we have a chart that comes right after the agenda that says outstanding commission

questions response report. that is item there is no response. i wasn't aware. i do on this issue because i see it getting hot. i see it and i want to be really really airtight. when these items are raised i want to make sure we have an error tight response and expect these items are going to be raised. >> it's also on the budget and it's listed there as responded to. it will no longer appear on the summary sheet that concludes the commission regular agenda. >> so i would suspect that given what took place at the last lafco meeting because i know there is discussions. the board i think has different authority than we do. the good faith than -- that we are required to engaged in. >> i don't know what the

lafco entities are. >> i just want to be way in front of that. you understand. >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> so one point of clarification. they are asking us to participate in writing an rfp. please, the position i'm taking, lafco, the position i'm taking is that we will share the information that we have. my main focus is coming up with a plan for our financial situation. and it could be some cca or whatever. but it's just not cca in how you make cca work, i mean, i could be part of a solution once we evaluate other big

ticket items. so we want to be helpful. the other thing that we are making very clear is that the current cca assumes that $19 million comes from heche and that was one of the reasons that shell, we were able to get a lower cost from shell because we had $19 million in reserve. if heche is free falling in 2 years, after two 2 years we are going negative. once you go negative, all our assets already frozen and that $19 million won't be available. if it is and i think going to the other question, i think it's the educational moment and one of the things that we wanted to do when we meet with the department of environment is really have the controller budget analyst, the mayor's office to look at what we are saying and i really

appreciate you accepting our projection because once we get it validated that we have a problem, we have a plan to solve the problem and not people thinking this is a made up crisis to not do these things . >> so i will be perfectly clear for the record. my intent is only to make sure that people can't come in here and make misrepresentations and lead us on a wild goose chase. the whole idea is that it's good stuff but it's not where people wanted to get. now we are in a completely different situation. the reason i asked for us to red flag every single item so we are just airtight. we'll be running around in circles chasing down the what ifs. i hear you loud and clear. any

further business? >> i hope not. >> this meeting is adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >>

>> good evening and welcome to the small business commission, regular meeting of monday, february 10, 2014, the meeting is called to order at 5:33. >> we will conduct a roll kaug, commissioner adams? >> here. >> commissioner dooley? >> here. >> commissioner dwight. >> here. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> here. >> xhie, white. >> here. >> all are present and we have a quorum, takes us to two, general public comment, and all periods during the meeting is limited to three minutes per speaker unless otherwise established by the presiding officer of the meeting speakers are requested but not required to state their name, completing of the card is optional to besinger help with the written record of the meeting deliver the speaker cars to the secretary prior to approaching. >> do we have any members of the public that would like to

make the comments on the items not on tonight's agenda? >> good afternoon. my name is jordan angle and most of you know me i think at this point, i am here this week as a representative of a group of property owners and business owners on the broad way corridor, a few of which appeared at the last small business commission legislative hearing, we were under the impression that after that meeting that the agenda item will be presented to discuss it on broad way, when we received it on friday afternoon and did not see anything on the agenda, we were confused. this has frightened many property owners who feel that it will be a disaster for the neighborhood, we are well aware of the ongoing problems on broad way, however the solution lies in the responsible growth and business friendly legislation. on a personal note in regard to my family's building that my

grandmother owns, we have been trying to remodel the building and get the liquor license approved for two years, to be caught up in this moratorium would be a traf vesty, we have requested a hearing so that we can have the liquor license approved, so far the board has ignored our requests, our constitutional rights to due process are being infringed on at this point and we are very frustrated. and we would like help from a few people in the city. >> what is your name? >> jordan angle. >> jordan, may i? >> we can't comment. >> okay. >> we can't comment on public comment. >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any other members of the public? >> don't leave just yet. >> seeing none, public comment is closed next item. >> takes us to item three, approval of the january, 27th, 2014, regular meeting minutes this is an action item.

>> motion? >> motion to approve item number 3? >> i move. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> next item? >> takes us to item four, presentation of a small business commission certificate of honor recognizing commission luke o'brien for more than four years on the service. >> commissioner cannot be here and asked if we would postpone to february 24th? >> i would like a motion that we move this item to the next meeting? >> second. >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> next item. >> brings us to item five, discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors, on board of supervisors file number 1 31205 planning code pro-ducks, distribution and repair zoning.

this is a discussion and possible action item. we have with us tiffany garcia from the office of economic and workforce development and andrea brus from the office of comen. >> i am the business development manager within the office of economic and workforce development. i have the pleasure of serving businesses that fall into the business sectors of manufacturing and retail. i put together a quick powerpoint presentation, to help you all better understand the planning code legislation that is being proposed in regards to production, distribution and repair to zoning. >> as we can see, the growth of san francisco manufacturing is current data allows us, there is a little over 530 manufacturers in san francisco. this is a 25 percent increase from last year, and a 47 percent increase since the mayor pointed me business
