>> 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 ]

the city attorney. >> you don't need a requirement for the seat. state law is one of the requirements that 60 percent of the members of the body, i think there are 10 appointed members. 60 percent of those have to be consumers or relatives of consumers or i believe care takers. and so, that requirement doesn't follow any particular seat. right now san francisco has two seats. you are filling one of them today with a member of the general public that will fill in the 40 percent category. the next opening on this board we would recommend that you fill someone who fits the 5th category. >>supervisor norman yee:
