change and we have partners we work with the bystanders borders and the list it long to help to develop our policies. and finally we turn to the community so we have people who need to make simple choices make it as simple as possible and then it is also when it comes to behavior we can lay out the framework but people have to use it. imagine having hundreds of bicycle panels and no bicycles on this would be a disaster. we have a whole team of people that do outreach and they engage

people that are underemployed in the past and train them on a series of environmental actions from doing energy audits to going out and investigating who's he throwing they're coming possess materials into the recycleable bins. and finally we have we're very grateful to have mta and the puc here how we're going to work together to meet the city's action goals. thank you. >> thank you so we have accountability presenters i believe bob from the mta? good afternoon supervisors i'm director of the strategy planning for the mta.

first of all, i want to acknowledge of the hard work with the staff has done they've developed a pretty good snapshot of what we're working on and spent two years where they've prison brought the strategies that will work and make sense. we've been integral to that one we were the head of the mta from the city side we're a large consumer of the diesel and electrical but from the transportation prospective the way we get around the city affected ore carbon footprint. mta has been working hard on trying to lead by example by marking buses the best and reducing your waste reduction

and recycling and those have been a lot of effort but it pails in xoorn comparison to the real issue people are driving a lot and getting around the city and we set our goal to reduce this 50 percent by 2018. we have to as cal was mentioning there are are behavioral changes that need to happen supervisor wiener mentioned things happening in city hall we need to act on street changes that are los low-cost. most of the actions inside those that lifted from the strategy we developed in 2011 and upgradeed it to the department of the environment. the two things we focused on

demand managed it has two pieces one is behavioral change knowing the other ways to get around the city and technically creating the demand management by putting in a prying mechanisms or road pricing or some kind of mechanism it shifts the behavior but we have to put in bike lanes and we had the t p approved on friday that will work on the reliability of the transit system. people want to shift out of from driving but there's things we need to work on to allow the mode shift to happen. it's vital because even if we have the clept bike lane and the

great save working streets that supervisor kim is supportive of and we still need to encourage people to manage the demanded. as we're planning on growing 25 percent over the next 20 years that's creating demand for people to get around the city if we do business as usual it's more public impacts and not meet our goals. as an agency we've been serious about the vial chance the world is cognizant as a city there are specific things we need to do that will require some trade offices and choices but i think about help the city oval if we can focus on transportation management and achieve those are challenging policy questions we'll be faced with and the

transportation part is not here but the pricing strategy the transportation directors will have a form to did you that it is the most effective transportation tool to get to our climate goals >> what impact congestion has an green house gases. >> what that side is it does two things congestion we have people driving slowly and basically increasing the congestion if - more cars idling and sitting in traffic and they're using for fuel and contracts. now con vertigo we're concerned about the sustainability we could shift over to the electric

but there's still congestion and hurting our economic and people are hitting too many pedestrians so it's a two prong climate and sustain ability together. so pricing has a big plus. what do you see we've seen the congestion pricing to talk about the studying of it and we see a political - >> it's an end and do you see that way to get past the buzz saw or a crisis we have to do it no matter what we have cities that have a huge amount of carbon co or the other strategy where the last number is odd or even going on the days that

might be imposed does it make sense we can phased something in over the years. >> absolutely i hope we never get to that we're to progressive harder of everybody else. >> we have supervisor kim's districts that's at gridlock. >> we have some technical matters for gridlock but you're right. i think - what's that >> i think you can't use it. >> i'm sorry it was just a joke. >> i agree i think the smarter approach would be like the other programs phase it in and pilot it and study the information. it has and will show there's an a positive benefit for the

economy so when we see that sort of pilot approach it allows us to have the comfort approach has we as the community and the public agency allows us to see how it moves along it may not work in all parts of the city but some type of management it in san francisco we have five or six different tools >> i think the big part of it we lose out when we want to implement those strategies is we haven't brought the public along but we have to change public opinion we can't rely on the gridlock to do that. if we have a plan to bring

people along because the eludes vary across the city but it's came from a reason because of the choices are a not as good so it's a matter of how we get people's to accept the transit and biking and pedestrian use. and we'll have a ways to go this should be part of the effort >> that's a good point and part of our management strategy is to i agree we have to change the behaviors and we work with the traffic task force to build up the shifting to another moved but supervisor wiener's point is the language has to be easy to walk and the demand is there. we have a ways to go but this strategy is good interest it's

building up from the success we have in the city and captured in a way that makes sense. it is good we are showing what we're doing to work towards that to transportation mettle we have to do it and we can do it and there's not many reasons why we can't >> thank you. thank you very much >> if there are no other presenters i think we have mr. kim we can call them out. i don't think he's here we have a member from the puc barbara hale i don't see anyone back here. you can actually come to the podium >> good afternoon supervisors i wanted to ask how many led

lights in this building. >> we have the building manager come and provide that some other ways. we have public comment cards here supervisor. public comment will be two minutes. (calling names) and i apologize in advance for mispronouncing names (calling names) go ahead >> i'm the part resident of north bay i'm here to support our climate action goals, however, the reuncle energy goals the last time i was here i was her hasn't to support the hiring of help with clean power

70 and strong supporter the thought campaign. especially there are alternatives with renewal energy products being developed and i recently talked to an expert witness and i asked him about the dicey questions about the energy at high levels he said california is egregious and california with hundreds and hundreds of power agencies with limited strategies of proprietors is really was it gentleman had in mind. now we have s b-43 with the programs i vonl support city attorney herrera's comments and some of those include offering a

location credit and addressing the environmental adjustment efforts and also hover i think that the comments today it might be important to look at pg&e proposal that 10 mile radius promotions could also be included. i'm heading up a east bay group and they're interested in participating in those programs. i don't know if spaca would be interested i don't think that is optional but you should keep our energy bills >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors i'm stacey i'm ceo of power tree services and a member of the energy storage lions that's been responsible for energy

sufficiencies and laws being passed. we also have a why could you over a medical what the of apartment solar here in san francisco and we're currently constructing across 68 building an intrartd solar storage and electric vehicle charging network. our focus group i want to highlight that clean energy one hundred percent clean energy that boost the deposition of electric vehicles when facing not having clean energy. also in san francisco 2/3rd's residual in apartments there's an economic and justice case to the tax benefits and incentives and that clean energy into

apartment buildings is something currently not educational to the vast majority of san franciscans. as a 50-year residents i contest the importance of reaching the apartments on anything we want to do. so i really encourage the clean power 70 program as a key way to reach that population and also there are key benefits in purchasing greater than penetration of car vehicles in clean power sf can be activated. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors aim bruce wolf representing the haisht council we really want to

urge you to reinsert and include and accept wholeheartedly clean act sf we don't know why this is removed this is absolutely an element of our ability to overcome climate change in san francisco. by removing it we'll be removing a lot of jobs there's a lot of development and work that will be done in support of providing clean energy in the city you'll hear from other advocates why it's important to restate is and firm this is what we want to do so let's get this done. thank you

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors i'm jed i'm here representing 350 a local affiliate of 360 we're concerned about our climate stability. first of all, following on supervisor wiener's comment this have been an issue for transportation and housing decision marking. in the sequa process we have the ideas of the consulting agencies it's contrary that the department of the environment has a lot to add. ultimately counting emissions without the life cycle so we saw two ways of counting life cycles it's like counting collars but

like the food you consume after work we're kidding ourselves if we count it a dive way. i echo supervisor avalos strong comments to start off the hearing. as a 15 year resident things taking out things from the report reminds me of the bush reports. ultimately the data is dark. the next time talks about our future and the action is shocking irresponsible. so we need to make sure that anything we can do is part of the plan. i've been to many vice president meetings that san francisco is

cerebral and no reason for it to be removed >> thank you. next speaker, please and i also i received a card from thomas ray. go in the same older >> i'm john arnold a member of the 350 sf and speaking in support of the clean sf i'm representing myself. the issue with the clean power sf being dropped out of the report is frustrating to marrying me. i've been a resident of san francisco for two decades. i've seen generations of renewal energy be supported in proposition and many multiple referendum. it's clear that has wide support

in the city. conservation is absolutely essential but you have to have both sides of the kindly. in addition to the global bad stuff supervisor avalos is nicely summarized those are jobs those are attempts to free our city from an industry that's a fossil in many sense of the word. it has to be done. we used to be the city that knew how i think it's time to take a leadership position again. thank you. thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm thomas ray a native san franciscan.

i'm speaking for different environmental groups in this city. i really feel that san francisco doesn't differ the title as the number one sustainable city in the u.s. because it's not doing enough and especially, if they take out the san francisco power sf, you know, plan program out of this strategy it doesn't make sense. i mean, if you take a train in german and look out the window you see hundred dollars of housing with solar cells the government helps with that. recently, there was a electrical power plant was shut down. it makes vehicular sense even in korea and other countries we're not working hard enough.

we're a waste we're into that. in the past few years we've shut down recycling centers in this town. there's over thirty spshlths in this town are paying for the privilege of not having a recycling center and we're going to shut down the recycling center at the church and market. we should make more of a commitment if we want to deserve the title the number one sustainable city in the u.s. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm patricia jackson the con veteran of the great panthers we've been behind clean power and now we're looking 10 years delay. and that is not included in the report is unbelievable we don't

have until 2030 to get there. as we know from the international climate report today. this also maybe a tangent just i want the peripheries to look at the the public utilities commission specifically mr. councilmember ferraro very wholesale been structural in this delay and frankly we have a corporate utilities commission and those people sitting open that committee should be elected not appointed not a mayor that is pg&e friendly >> thank you. next speaker, please >> good afternoon naming is ms. ackerman i'm with the chapter of

the sierra club. the san francisco vice president of environment staff has repeating stated the robust energy program that leads us to the informs i would say to clean energy is required to enable us to reach our goals on schedule. every definite version of the cities aforementioned plan includes clean sf as the corner stone. unfortunately, when the final strategy came out all the information was deleted from the document. especially this week it's clear we need to hold our elected officials accountability to the people that elected that that they represent not the

corporations and any companies that give them campaign donations. we need to be accountability to the people of san francisco >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors and thank you for hearing from us. i'm kearney chair the conservation committee in san francisco i've been working on clean power issues since 2007. i mentioned that to talk about why i'm talking about this i'm getting impartitient the zero we that was talked about and 50 percent of trips out of single occupancy cars sounds good, however, there's a critical piece mensz a real strategy to

transfer our city to one hundred percent renewable emergency. but it got deleted as discussed from the climate action strategy that wouldn't mean the end of the world if there was a viable alternative and i haven't heard that. rather than took it out of the strategy let's launch clean emergency sf. i'm max auto there are only things that i can do recycle and walk and take muni but at some point have to address the climate change in the city and clean power sf is a great way. >> next speaker, please. >>. >> eric brooks our city and the

san francisco clean advocates. first of all, please, please all 4 of you and anyone write down the website bio fuel watch organizing dot uc. you have to have the dot uc and go to that site one hundred percent bio fuel is a bad idea urban has a problem they are causing more climate problems more than fossil fuel. i want to amplify what my previous colleagues have said. every time the vice president of environmental staff dealt with that they said the city can't reach their goal without the sf clean program the pie chart said

it the one hundred percent energy slipper is not working. did reason power st. is so important there's no alternative because clean power sf is a state legal mechanism to group the hundred of thousands of customers in san francisco into a could open to buy energy and build local energy and hire hundreds of people to do that. there's no other legal mechanism so build the clean energy without clean sf there's no alternative i want to talk about the elephant in the room. the legal organization has gotten money and willie brown is the biggest cheer leads and this

is where it's coming from we need to talk about this out loud >> thank you. any additional public comment on item number 3? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor avalos >> thank you. i'm really concerned about the status quo the city right we have goals that we want to be able to inaccurate but judges as long as there's business first is not going to work. the language that's been redacted from the report we have jason reed here so if we can't get the mayors administration we to get involved we'll show it on the overhead >>
