the opposition arguments and then the change the language so it simply refers declaration of policy aud sud [inaudible] so you will know there have been a number of supervisors who have been indicated as the perspective proopponents and a number of blanks and i ask you to review this before next week's meeting so we can have our assignments clear. so unless there are any questions i'd like to entertain first a motion to amend and then also a motion to continue this item for one week as described. motion by supervisor mar, second to that? second by supervisor farrell, without objection these items will be amended as described and the motion continued to july 29. i understand there's an immaretive item. >> yes, the concurring in the continuation of the revised of a local emergency, the rim fire

showing that with these [inaudible] the votes are not reflecting human rights and civil rights. i hope that this will be -- we found the cure to aids, i think we can find the cure to convict to the eviction because violence it reaches us all and there's no reason we should be left africa and [inaudible] that's part of violence that you see. every time someone is killed in your neighborhood they say i'm not no punk and they shoot, you all need to understand that black and brown are shot on turf territory. white and chinese are killed -- they go to safeway, they go to [inaudible] georgia tech, virginia tech, santa barbara, they kill [inaudible] movies and we need to look how violence affect us all. there's something different about how we let violence in

the black and brown neighborhood be unchallenged, but white [inaudible] all in this city because i don't want to die on august 4, that's the president's birthday because i know that jim carter started habitat for humanity and that is what we don't have. i hope you can talk to the president in that supposedly. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other members of this wish to speak in this public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i want to recognize we have [inaudible] here in the chamber, he's up from la. thank you. >> welcome to our chamber. with that, colleagues, can we take this -- actually, let's take a role call on the imperative item. >> kim i, mar i, tang i, wiener i, yee i, breed i, campos i,

>> good afternoon, everybody, i would like to call this meeting of the san francisco public utility's commission, to order at 1:38, would you call the roll. >> president courtney n >> here. >> vietor. >> here. >> and moran. >> here. >> torres. >> here. >> and commissioner caen is excused. >> we would like to approve. >> moved. >> any public comment? >> seeing no public comment, i will call a roll, signify by

saying aye. if there is no objections from the colleagues, i will call item number eight out of order and i am going to hang it over to the general manager, kelley. >> and thank you very much. and and i just wanted to provide this afternoon to talk to you about proposed legislation, that supervisor weiner is presenting. from the conversations that we have been having about the financial situation, and we have been as we presented to the commission and the mayor's office and to the board, at that time, we had some consider concerns about our financial situation, and a couple of things that we were highlighting was that one, we

were concerned about general fund departments and raising the general fund rates, and two we were talking about, mount tunnel and that was a major concern, that impacted our ability, or our financial situation. and we rec, which is a regulatory issues and then, the other final one is looking for new customer and also, maximizing and so we talked about those challenge and we wanted to have supervisor weiner come up to talk about the legislation, that he is currently proposing. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> thank you commissioners for giving me the brief opportunity to talk about this today and this legislation, and i want to thank general manager, and puc staff for, having been really helpful in making sure that we,

know the facts and we are appreciative to that. and so, to briefly discuss with you the legislation, and that i, or that i along with supervisor breed that we together, are sponsoring at the board of supervisors, to help the puc address, its lack of retail customers. and resulting lack of efficient resources to maintain the infrastructure of the power of enterprise including the street lights and as i know, kelley you have been discussing this quite a bit in terms of these massive unmet, capitol needs and since i have been on the board, we have done a lot of hammering around it. and i thought that it was important to finally take a step to give this agency to give you, the ability to actually starts addressing that

and so that is what this legislation is about. and as you know, commissioners for nearly a century, the puc has provided clean, hydroelectric power to the city departments from the airport to the muni and the san francisco general hospital and the other very critical agencies, in our city. and the energy is 100 percent greenhouse gas, free, and it is clean energy. and there are many benefits to having this public power clean hydroelectric, enterprise. and including local control, and lower rates, transparency, etc.. the power enterprise as you know has massive unmet capitol needs. we know there has been a lot of pressed around the mountain tunnel and there are other infrastructure needs as well and i know

of refusal, to be the power provider to the new development in san francisco. and it did not require the puc, to become the power of the provider under the charter. the puc will obtain that discretion and i know that there is a lot of discussion

about what projects that they may believe or appropriate or less appropriate, and our less beneficial to be the provider for and the puc will set up the standards and make those determinations. but with this legislation, will provide the agency with the space, and with the ability to decide which projects warrant the agency stepping in, as the power provider. and i know that particularly, some of the larger development projects, could easily fall, into that category, or it would make a lot of sense. the currently, as you know, excess hydroelectric power, generated at hetch, hetchy gets sold on the wholesale market at one quarter of the price that would be charged to a retail customer. so if we give the agency the

ability to have more retail customer and there will be more revenue from the power and that can be reenvested in the agency's infrastructure including street lights. we are continuing the discussion with the staff with the particular of the language in the legislation and we have an open dialogue, and we want to make sure that the legislation is passed in the right form. and i know that the staff has proposed a few amendments, some of which were open to and others were not quite there and i am sure that we will continue to talk and so with that, i am happy to answer any questions. and i appreciate the time. >> commissioners? >> yes, mr. torres? >> i just want to say thank you for your leadership and you are my supervisor, and i am your boss and so i vote for you. >> thank you. >> and you have been doing an incredible job and i think that this effort that you are trying to incorporate, i am grateful that you have come to the

commission to share your thoughts, because i think that input is always so good for building con census around an important issue. >> thank you. >> vietor. >> thank you, for helping to address the shortfalls that we have been struggling for a long time and it is a long way. and i just have a couple of smallish questions. and the development would it be maybe it is sort of the staff, but also what you envisioned, you said any and all development or do you have a certain size and scale is it first right of refusal for anything that comes on-line. >> i can that ultimately it will be a decision for the agency and you will be able to set the standards and in the legislation we talk about any project that is ten units or greater. and i understand from the staff that the agency is probably a lot less interested in the small projects, which have, you

know, in terms of the cost benefit, of what you have to do to become the power, but it may not be worth it, but we know that the agency will, it appears be the power provider for hunter's point, and candle stick and for treasure island, and you know, i think that pier 70 coming on-line from the mission bay development and there are other developments that use the large projects and as i understand it, from the staff, is what would be probably the most, interesting, to the agency, and i would love to see the agency be the power provider for the cathedral hill hospital for the park merced and i don't know if it is too late for that, but as the larger projects are probably the ones that make the most sense, but i will let him address that. >> so one of the things that i have been in conversations with supervisor weiner's office, is that we wanted to make sure that we based on our strategic

plan identifying customers we feel best suit our needs. we want to maximize our hetchy power, because we have excess hetchy power that we are actually selling into the grid, which if we have customers for, and so we have been very successful in pursuing the customers that we have been pursuing and i think that we need to be a little more active in pursuing those customer and so i just wanted to make sure that the legislation is clear that we want to pursue the customers that we feel are appropriate for us to pursue, and not to require us to pursue every little customer and that is the dialogue that we are having. so, we are going to propose, some changes to the legislation, to kind of hopefully be consistent to the direction ha we would like to go as a power provider. and so, those are the comments that we are probably going to

move, and give you some copies. we are working on it internally right now. >> and yeah, from, and to be clear, in terms of it, and it does not and we will have a conversation about this, in terms of what the threshold is emphasized and it does not necessarily need to be in the legislation because the agency has the discretion. and one thing that i want to point out is also, this is just, as you know this, but for the benefit of the members of the public is that sometimes, whenever we are talking about any version of public power, we get a response from some saying, oh, you know, this is the government and you know, that can't, and you know, muni is not doing what it needs to do and you know this and that and the other thing are not happening and so why would we want you to be the power provider and what i try to remind people is that this is the same agency that for many, many, many years, has provided services, to the entire city, with the very old sewer system

that works. and the agency delivers the services beautifully, and that is the water provider for all of san francisco, and other parts of northern california. and it works and it is the best water in the world and to suggest that the puc is somehow not cap able of providing great customer service, in my view does not have any merit, the puc will need to develop more of a customer service component and right now it is mostly municipal and we know that they are capable of doing that and so i am not concerned about. nae. that is the second question and the final question, which is a perfect segway from what you just said is that i know that there is some board director to really, look at the choose ago aggregate and that i would love to hear your thinking on how this legislation might fit into that or what you are thinking is around
