vector control team and biking around the city and looking at catch basins and they are very active users of the bicycle pool. and we have about 90 bicycles right now in our fleet. and then, lastly, electric carts as well. and then bicycles again at all of the larger campuses and we exceed our goal for the healthy air and clean transportation ordinance and we are slated to remove about 25 vehicles. and then, by inventory of our fleet, every single budget, every time that we review every vehicle, to make sure that it is in compliance with the standards as well as in the event that it is at least ten years old, and also, exceeds 100,000 miles of usage, we target those that can be replaced with greener fuel. and to date, we are at 75 percent of our cars being green or renewable fuels as well as 30 percent of all of our vehicles and we are trying to

move that to even, even greener with each budget cycle and those are the next two slides, five and six in your packet and then, again, the replacement strategy is outlined here and targeting the oldest vehicles in particular, to help with the particulate matter reductions in the environment as well as following the department of environments green, vehicle grid and compliance standards and then, we don't have a eligible vehicle and we look at what the greenest in the class will be for that specific vehicle and if not, being a bike or a transit first, alternative. and environmental strategies we do this day in and day out and we also do it during the budget season, by looking at things like our video conferencing and tell conferencing and then the public transit and the pools as well as the other items. >> and then, lastly, i will just close with why this matter is again in our responsiveness, for both operations and

disaster and preparedness, we employ the technologies to know where our fleet vehicles are and with do this because we care about our employees and we want to be sure that whether or not they are going into the fire zone, like up in the recovery effort we were able to track in real time where the employee crews were to make sure that we could monitor them and get them out if needed. and with that, i will answer any questions, and i want to thank as well mr. zeller for all of his collaboration with our department. >> and thank you, todd. >> questions? >> we can hear from mr. zeller from the san francisco environment? >> my name is bill, zeller and i am with the department of environment and the clean transportation group and between tommy and todd i am going to try not to repeat anything that they said that they stole everything that i

had. and todd, could you help me with this, i just need to get my slides up. we have had a long collaboration with the sfpud in a general sense they have been leaders as far as the different fleet operations in the city and helping us to push the projects forward that reduce, the petroleum use and reduce the greenhouse gases and been quite an example for other department to have to aspire to.

our department is made up of two groups, and we are generally outward facing towards the public in the transportation, or the transit first side of things and we also serve the san francisco family principlely in the vehicle cleaning of the fleet in with the hack to implementation. and right now, roughly about 40 percent of the greenhouse gases that are generated by the city of san francisco come from transportation, we are working to reduce that. and our programs particularly, or first on the transit first side, and here we are. and it was said that 30 percent of all emissions. and the trucks in the city and and the first focus is the transit first and basically we tried to get you out of your car first, and that is my

colleague sigma runs those programs and basically if we can't get you out of your car we try to get you in the cleanest vehicle possible and that is when i come in my group and in as of 2010, approximately, 61 percent of all trips were in private automobiles and private vehicles. our goal by 2018 is to reduce that by 50 percent. >> and we have a three pronged attack on the transportation and the management and smart compute programs and we focus on and we have four of them, commute smart which is the program that puts pretax dollars on to cliper cards that are available to all city employees and we encourage that through the city and other companies that work within the city. and muni tokens and we use these actively and push them to the departments to use these tokens and the cliper cards for

the employees to do the day-to-day transportation around the city. and we provide a number of bicycles from the grants through the area and the management district and others, for employers to use for work related purposes. and city vehicle pools, where we are actively working with the departments to reassign the vehicles and move them into the pools that are more fully utilize the vehicles. and my side, we look at alternative fuels, and we look at the whole suite of alternative fuels, bio diesel, and vng, and the hybrid vehicles and we really push the electric vehicles very hard, the plug in and the hybrid vehicles and the battery electric vehicles. and we collaborate with the puc in a number of areas and one of the ones is power, and we work closely with them to develop one of the most dense

public charging systems in the united states, and we have more than 300 charging stations in san francisco, now. and more than 100 of those are on the city owned property. and the most current numbers that we have is they are using about, 3, 384,000 kilo watt hours a year, energy and that is our chargers and our own facility and they reduce the greenhouse gases by 161,000 metric tons. and throughout the bay area and they went up to about 2,000 chargers, and we are, and we the city are very involved with the regional programs to increase our electric vehicles. and one of the areas that we collaborate very closely with

the sfpuc fleet as in the compliance and i will not go into that because todd mentioned that earlier and another area that has been around for quite a while and does not get the attention and is the b20 mandate that was put and i am sorry the executive order that was signed by the mayor back in 2006. and the puc's fleet, the diesel portion of the puc fleet, uses bio diesel. and almost universally, and pretty much wherever they can and the only places where they really have a hard time with it is when they get into the motions. and they use the low temperatures and it is bio diesel is not stable enough to be used up there.

and it has helped us, again, set the bar very high for the rest of the fleets in the city and we are hoping for the significant improvements, and in the fleet utilization, and reducing the fuel use and the greenhouse gases and emissions. and another puc and we collaborate with quite a bit and you heard about this earlier is the waste water group, and and they have the smart people and i have talked to them quite a bit and in the use of the methane and there is a huge benefit that we can realize depending on how we and or in the, or sorry in the use of bio methane for the vehicle fuels and so we are working with the puc staff right now to kind of get a balance on that.

and the rebuilding of the south east plant is one of the big sources of bio methane and one of the other areas where it will come from is coming out of the biomethane. and if you have any questions, and i have blasted through the presentation and i will be happy to answer any questions. >> thanks, bill. >> questions? >> thank you. thank you, bill. >> commissioner courtney? >> well, i think that... >> one quick question, and does the city or the city and county of san francisco offer tax rebates for owners of electric vehicles? do we know that? >> good question. bill?

or todd? question from commissioner tores? >> do they give rebates. >> not at this time, they usually come through the state and from the california energy commission, carb and sometimes through the air district. but the bay area air quality district. and we manage, a lot of those grants. and we had a very successful program that you will notice that all of the taxis are hybrid and there was a program that was started by the department of the environment that works for the hva, where we gave it a $2,000 grant to taxi drivers to buy the hybrids and to get the process started and pretty much it is converted over now and we don't do that any more and you are welcome. >> thank you. >> commissioner courtney? >> we have one item left, but

in the interest of time, i recognize that my colleagues who have been here longer than the rest and in light of the fact that the other commission has a meeting following this, in the event that you have to leave during this conversation, it is of course, understood. but i suspect that this is the beginning of a robust conversation that we are going to have about our power division. and some of the other details that will follow. so thank you for being here, and i guess that we will call the next item. >> i agree, because there are folks here that want to hear about the renewable energy, generation and energy efficient items and i know that we are going to lose at a minimum, commissioner tores and i want to thank you for joining but if it is okay with the environment commissions if we call item e, i think that it is particular interest and important to hear. >> monica, if you call item e? >>renewable generation and energy efficiency (barbara hale, sfpuc & cal broomhead,

sfe) >> >> good, afternoon. thank you very much. >> and i was remembering that when i was working at the city's puc and moran was the general manager and at one point, commissioner cain was the new commissioner on the commission and so it is wonderful to be back in front of you again. and i am going to go three top level and just kind of clip the tree topps of every issue that we deal with very quickly and i want us to think about that most of our workers in the private sector, we have five basic tools that we use with, and we try to employ all of them in our renewable and energy efficiency program and the first one is education and the tomorrow is already talked about and she did not mention phebe the phoenix being in the classroom and we do a lot of pushing and contractors and their crew, and the engineers and architects and building operators and managers, to

existing trainings and then when we have funding we provide the training on a whole range of issues related to these things, and we also, the other two tools that we have are technical assistance, and incentives. and using largely rate fare funds and we provide several million dollars a year in incentive and to date we have provided 24 million dollars to incentives for multifamily commercial and single family projects and with almost 11,000 projects, already installed, since 2002. and i mentioned single family and, i think that it was mentioned earlier that working in single family homes is a very complicated work, and it is a very small program and only doing a couple of 100 buildings a year at most. but this very difficult work, takes highly trained, workforce and so we work very hard on that. and with the other nine counties and in a state

program, through the pg&e invester and the utility funds and we also have a multifamily program that has been very successful in san francisco and we have done well over 1,000 family buildings and condos and coops and etc. and we also have a commercial program, that addresses the small businesses that are largely tenants and commercial buildings as well as small and medium sized buildings and non-profits and including the hospitals and cpmc have also been our customers and we provide the technical assistance with the city staff and the engineers who go out and do assessments and we also perform the quality assurance check to be sure that the right equipment was installed in the proper manner and as the contractor was being paid to do. finally we have also cross trained our technical staff on water conservation, and the rebates and the technology so that we can incorporate that and in their proposals with the

customers. and a fourth tool is financing and this is the property assessed green energy financing that you may have heard about, and we have a commercial program that has been struggling for some time to actually get traction in the market place and we are about to relaunch the residential program, and which never seizes to be a source of interesting stories. but, there are a number of other methods of financing and one that we are interested in continuing to talk to the puc about is on bill, and on water bill, repayment of a financing program, that currently, could incorporate, and just water energy measures like shower heads, but, that could also, with possibly with some legal changes, incorporate just the energy efficiency measures which will open up the water and efficiency measures to the tenants that are paying the bill and don't own the building and finally we use law. and we have a number of them

that are either going through update or through enforcement right now and like the green building ordinance and the commercial lighting ordinance and the existing building and the energy, bench marking ordinance and we are updating the residential conservation ordinance with a stake holder group that will include the people from the real estate and the home inspection industries and we are working on the ordinance that is about rent controlled properties and enabling the land lords to pass the cost of capitol improvements on to their tenants without where it is actually going to reduce the tenants gas and electric bills. and finally, working on a new ordinance for solar and new construction projects. we also on the legal side of things are working on improving, code compliance which in some sectors means helping contractors and inspecters actually improve the

projects so, permitted projects actually achieve the intent of the code. and then the second part of it is getting non-permitted projects to actually take out a permit and comply with energy code. and these are things that we are using grant funds to perform. and on this renewable side, just going to briefly touch on solar. we operate the, or the staff, and the solar task force that had been started by the tax assess ors office several years ago and we worked on a number of purchasing strategies using employee groups, or types of buildings, like private schools. and we provide some technical assistance and we worked on multy tenant buildings and the strategies, and we do the targeted out reach and aggregate and then we educate the contractors about the financing opportunities for their clients.

and we operate the san francisco solar map, which please don't go to it today, it is broken, and google changed the platform and it cross wired everything and it is in the course of being fixed right now but every solar system that is installed, i believe since 2002 is on the map, and you can normally take a look at your own address and see how you are doing. and this is a chart of the installations and i think that barbara hale is going to talk about what a great job the solar program has done you can see from this graph that go solar has had a big impact with the state's csi, and solar incentive program has been ramping down that go solar has really.

as they integrate into the new roofing project and finally everything that we do is in the context of the regulatory agencies at the public utilities and the state commission and the state energy commission and the air resources board and of course, we coordinate with the puc whenever we realize that there is an issue that might touch hetch, hetchy and there are issues that are hot and one of them is access to data because we can't really do effective marketing and track our programs without having good access to data and another issue that we are facing today is as the state energy code goes up, the way that the rules are written, is that the amount of incentives are able to give to a building owner, reduces. because it is only the difference between what the base energy code is and what perfect would be. and so as that reduces, it

means that we have had a lot of measures that are starting to fallout of the system and we are seeing a reduction in the actual energy products being performed and this is something that the state is well aware of and the utilities are aware of and we are trying to figure out how to solve this problem. >> and any questions? >> i am here to answer them, thank you. >> and finally, if any of you have not yet participated in the energy upgrade, california, and have the brochure here one for each of you and please, at least take a look at the website, thank you. >> thanks. questions? from environment commissioners? puc commissioners? >> commissioners? >> no, thank you. >> okay. >> thanks so much. cal. >> and i think that next we have barbara hale from the sfpuc.

good evening, thank you very much, i am barbara hale assistant general manager power and it is a pleasure to appear before this joint body and i am going to talk today about the two items that were agendaized and the renewable and efficiency and in particular i will hit on what was cal's expression, the tree tops and go solar sf and our solar program and our wholesale purchases and our program, and the program that we run, and the programs that we offer other of the customers and our green commissioning and design review program. and first up, the go solar, sf program. and it was established in 2008, and with a direction to have an objective of two to five million dollars of hetch hetchy not operating revenues for the program each year and what we

have is the program between 3,0

to 5,000 employed and we attribute the go solar sf program to part that have success. and but the program has reduced by 4.5 million, gig, sorry... pounds, each year, the green housing gas, contribution from electric conception here in san francisco and relative to getting electricity from the pg&e portfolio and we have incentives that here, these go solar sf incentives are available to our power enterprise customers as well as to non-customers. you know the pg&e customers. and in terms of opportunities for collaboration, and improvement, with the department of environment, cal referred to the financing option, that is certainly, promising and not just beyond bill financing option, but how we can really make sure that we are leveraging the go solar sf dollars in the best way. and that will be one of the areas that we will be focusing

on for this coming year and on improvements for the go solar sf program. >> and here, on this slide, you can see, the go solar sf workforce, hires by zip code here in san francisco. and the larger bubbles, and near the zip code numbers indicating the larger number of residents who are employed in the workforce, through the workforce development program, on go solar sf projects. moving on then, to our customer municipal solar, mr. carlin at the opening of our day, talked about the power enterprise and we serve largely municipal targets and we serve at power provider for the hunters point neighborhood and the shipyard, project, and that redevelopment project. and these customer municipal, solar facilitis that i am talking about are largely on the city, owned roofs.

and our newest, here at symphony hall and the two that we energized and dedicated and we have over the years a list of projects that i am showing total of 2.5 mega watts of the roofs with the solar on them provided by sfpuc. and looking forward, we are our ten-year capitol plan has us dedicated about $12 million dollars of the net operating revenues to the additional facilities and you will see that in this particular fiscal year, are targeted towards the city hall solar and, downtown high school. and some other high school facilities that we expect to be installing solar on over the summer break. and we also have some renewable purposes, cal mentioned the sunset solar project that is photographed here and that is not a doctored photo and it

really shows up and glows out on the sunset and we have five, mega watts of solar and that is the purchase agreement and so we purchase the output and the performance risk for the facility are held by the facility own and her we purchase the output and also to the extent and the clean power sf program is implemented and i heard that there is interest in us talking about that as well today, chair. and that would be a 100 percent renewable program. and it would be largely wholesale purchases of california, compliant renewable product. and moving then to the customer efficiency. and we have ten million dollars, set aside of our net operating revenue and our ten year capitol plan to send on energy efficiency and improvements for our customers facilities. and first off, we have 1.62 million of that dedicated to

the civil center and sustainability district. and that is a program where we look at whole building upgrades driving for lead certification in the historic district and not only the historic are included however, the symphony hall is included and so, is the public health facility and so we have a miss mix of building tips that we are seeking the lead certification for and the city hall in particular, we are striving and this year, for a lead platinum or a gold for this facility. >> yes. >> our general fund, our general fund, program, and we are dedicating $5 million in our ten year capitol plan for

that, and for that facility. >> excuse me, we are going to call the sheriff up here right now, you will be escorted out of the building and my recommendation is that you leave quietly now. >> again, the sheriff is on his way up here, my recommendation, sir, is that you leave quietly, quickly. >> stand. stand. brothers, stand. >> at your direction, i will resume when you are ready.

>> president, courtney, chair, should i resume? >> be nice, guys. >> call for a five, minute, recess.
