future endeavors >> (clapping). >> so i want to say that when many of us end our cease or this phase of our professional lives very few of us what measure it in the metrics and it's kind of interesting to measure your career of cars removed and dollars how concrete to look at a career that way i will say that equally is impressive is the number one quantify attribute of your career so we measure your success in tons and dollars but in the quality of

professionalism and the nourishing you've given to staff and shown people what they're capable of and helped to grow staff and bloom in ways that are in this case and very appreciated in managers. and that you've done the same for your colleagues people you say potential in and reached out day to day when things got stressful full your incredibly unique and thank you for your service and choosing public service we're grateful for that. >> thank you so much commissioners and may i say p a word or two. >> please. i want to say tomorrow is my birthday and that was not on my bucket list of things to disciplinarian but i'm glad i

got under the wire and accomplished things i didn't think i would so thank you for the nice wonderful birthday gift. the first part of my career or first half was in international relations and international development it leads our coverage conscious to the environmental world. so i went from international focus anticipate to a national focus with nonprofit i've worked with and then to a local focus and when i did was actually lived and experienced that slogan to think locally i did because i was an analyst and act locally when you act individually it's one thing and hard to get the concept across to people but act as a

government and a department that's action oriented you can see the difference it makes and that's been gratifying to me to work under the guidance of this commission that they have the strength and encourage to push policies in the department such talented and generous people that helped one other and we saw the environmental impact people learn and are nourished in this department but with great talent and wonderful now leadership i am i feel like very privileged to have been part of that and be privileged to be a citizen of the city and watch which the slogan get turn around it has a

global impact because we're global leaders i'm grateful for the terrific honor. thank you very much. (clapping.) >> i want to tell a quick ann kelly story when i got into the commission ii was wondering in ann recommended me because i was in her office a couple of years prior with as an advocate with a nonprofit trying to download and learn about the efficient programs and the energy watch with it enter plays with other programs i was unclear up and ann spent an hour and gave us documents that created kind of lynn like in the movie the max

they plug something into our brain i found might have years looking at the notes he and i hope she never stops explaining because it makes sense i asked a lot of questions i don't know if i was being perfected i didn't and she said i remember when you were in my office i said maybe can i get the updated report and she send me all the data and the rebates and all the things i used for the commission trying to understand the energy stuff and talk about the human experience apart from the data like director raphael said she can tell you the outcome and results in realtime but when it comes to people when we were

negotiating around terms that would allow and sure the ability of ann and the cal and the energy providers under the watch and sure their ability to make sure we have jobs for people that were formerly incarcerated and were given a job and pornl given access cut off by new regulations we were involved with several phone calls several times a day maybe i was the chair at this point trying to use some roll at the commission making sure that you guys playing the kind of trianglelation strategy for people who can excelling have a record and not being a record i

remember that ann saying this is what we do with the utility and all the folks that was great because she was just as passionate about that man or woman who could have a record fighting for the environmental impact it was amazing to be part of it i think that that experience working with you on that. >> colleagues. >> all right. public comment on our resolution regarding our dear ann kelly. >> cal mr. backroom head. >> well, i still have an e emotional coped with the fact ann maybe on vacation and she'll

be sitting in the office sometime. but i've been working with ann just altering less than a year that i've been with the department of the environment so my experience with the department of investment is totally tied to antonio and her management capacity and her strategic planning skills and her vision of california and where the energy world should go and the roll of local government in it ann has been really strategic thinker and one of the key players in thinking this issue through and pushing it through the local government sustainable commission we have a lot to owe here local

governments are participating in partnerships with their utilities and getting the money directly to start the process of running their own the programs and seeing them grow so it's more than just what happened in our department and city but the citywide impact it's been delightful as a colleague to be working with ann and i'm going to miss her very much thank you. >> colleagues can i get a motion to approve our resolution. >> i move to approve. >> second. >> i'll second the motion. all in favor, say i. opposed? thank you, ann for all the things you've done for us >> don't be a stranger.

i replacement having this motion for someone up here once upon a time, so don't be a stranger. i hope to see you back sometime >> thank you. >> good. all right. thank you. all right. so let's see >> item 11. >> yeah. maybe we can continue item 9 for at least another. >> approval for the resolution filed 2014 in support of san francisco shallow in your packet are the sponsors and for the renewable program manager action

stem. >> thank you monica a couple of quick comments as we welcome alison to the podium and colleagues thank you, ann. i thank you. so we just to recap where we or are how we got here. we had a conversation at our first community meeting in the bay area in december. - november >> i think november. >> november and we talked about san francisco pornl becoming the third city in california to require solar on new development we put together a resolution the commissioner and i and put that

before the commission there was a lot of positive feedback in the bay area community it's a community that adapted solar the go solar 70 program the community that has a legacy of environmental injust because of the dirty pour plants stand out as dr. espanola jackson says are real prove that our solar supports the community and makes for healthy community so we said hey why not make solar here and oakland did it so we didn't pass a regulation that invite but we worked the staff at that time, daniel mri did legwork there was communications certainly the

stakeholders whether it's community obviously labor or business and some kind of feedback i was excited 0 see we were fortunate to get alison and she picked the ball up and continued the conversation we had a vetting at policy in february to kind of refine the resolution and really there will the resolve to get folks together to have this process and taken guidance from the mayor's office from the environmental policy roger kim and heard input from his housing advisors and how we can make that work in a collaborative consensus really great approach to something that could be big. when we had the policy commission 3 organs sometime within the past month we learned of new update that are reflected

colleagues in this resolution that's before us a couple of things and i've really kind of learned a lot about it not being at the meeting from director raphael i'll point out a couple of things so we can lead to an adaptation of a final process and get it moving forward we'll learn learn from alison the two main changes on page 1 some underlined progresses there's an idea we've heard from the planning department and other the rooftops are actually important environmental comedy but living roofs and ideas around green roofs and thinking through the ideas making sure we mandate solar as we think about

other green uses so we don't preclude other means that might accompany solar and a new law that kicked into effective 3 weeks ago and that is a requirement under the state energy code all new development be solar ready here in the state of california so i like the inclusion of this talking about with our director and the wish work that alison we've going to make sure we're solar ready and san francisco said let's do one thing more and get it on the roof. those are the two changes maybe alison can talk about this more if i've gotten this correct for the changes and we'll hear from questions from colleagues

>> yes. certainly commissioners i think you've got is exactly right. i wanted to add more details this conversation has been rich and deep, of course, i'm learning as i go but there's even better nudes about us being a step ahead in 2016 this is a requirement throughout california so all new construction needs solar we're hatred on title 4 but ahead ton 2016 it's coming down the road that's a great reason this is being addressed it's a helpful thing. also i've received information that several of the supervisors are looking for a solar rooftop ordinance we're cognizant of the roofdz and one of the reasons it is taxiing this long we're being

careful to vet there through stakeholders groups and reorganize and the direction is right to go and staying in touch with cal and director heinecke are a we've met with boo ma and presented to them and the code advisory group and dbi and planning in different formats and about to go back to them after our solar task force meeting this thursday at foufgs because that's the first round and go back to look at cvc and state approval before bringing this before the supervisors >> okay. great. and i see that the co-sponsor has joined us our friend of mine

commissioner i'm not going to get use to saying former commissioner josefowitz supported this and mr. rodriguez told me about this important part of the process as we circle back if we make solar mandatory how much are we go back to make certainty percentages you know this is where it gets challenging and fun at the same time there's the different choice about lancaster said new development and other commercial development and a by the way, if you do the rehabilitation of the building go we're going to trigger the mandatory solar as well as and the other potential uses it becomes fun. my thought say, i want it

everywhere and go solar with mayor ed lee and go solar since 2010 this year and theeshgs this is the right time so these great >> this is another global step we're so much bigger than lancaster we're making a statement that will go wide and far people watch san francisco and your right it's exciting thought. colleagues. >> and then maybe just so we know essentially we're slording the process of continuing the stakeholder engagement to get everyone together and to craft and process this policy south pole's soulgdz there's interest at the board of supervisors and we understand the mayor is a big

fan and he's interested so i guess we'll so you would with those ideas it's like presenting it for our mayor and board of supervisors to kind of take to the next step is that where we go from here. >> i will add their complexities technical complexities and i'm anticipating we're going to encounter things that will slow down and how much rooftop can you share with the many variables and what if there's not enough room so we want to go through the stakeholder vetting to make sure we've dot all the i's and cross the t's to get the technical aspect in the correct order as well as correct in general. >> okay. and see once we have

this kind of draft of the policy and the legalities and the questions answered we've talked about in terms of the decision points and thought from staff and commission am i right then it goes to the planning commission for consideration and then to the board of supervisors and then in some ways to the state for final approval is that right. >> before the supervisors that will go to c e.c. to affirm the ordinance itself and a few other stakeholders groups in there but it's a puzzle. >> fits not the planning department but the department of building inspection. >> both. >> so we go to the planning advisory committee and the state law doesn't have authority over solar. >> the health and welfare the

health and safety. >> an immay not danger it the health and welfare. >> the deniable the bvrdz, the california emergency commission and our rooftop. >> and planning as one of our stakeholder groups that's where the confusion is before i step away i want to acknowledge i have 4 of the 11 interims i've been lucky enough to bring on board who have been sitting through this session all the names (calling names) i've not memorized. >> yes. please stand (clapping.) and they're helping us to do the important work i couldn't do that what did you do assistance their hunger to learn it makes it fun so thank you for letting me include them.

>> are you having fun not to put you on the spot but the answer is yes. yeah. >> you guys are working on the solar conversation particularly the solar are we going to make in happen. >> all right. >> we're going to work on the annual income and will give us status for solar installation so hope to be back here talking about that. >> great, great thanks alison questions or comments. commissioner gravanis sorry i see you on the machine >> just a quick comment we talked about this on the policy commission had a discussion we're grateful to you and the interims for all the work because it's very complicated and there are a number of people that want to make sure we are not requiring one hundred

percent of roof panels people really want to have living roofs for habitat and water managed and people that point roof-decks to be up high and see the view i know it's complicated but i hope we work out the outdoors so they can took place i totally support in resolution we're studying it and doing things as appropriate but boy is it complicated and any rough timeline on the approval process. >> i'm hoping to have a final draft by late fall. but that's really a guess in the dark. there are so many unknowns and barriers because it's the first time through. we're very cognizant of all the other uses and add into our awareness and concern title 24

requires that a certain percentage of commercial and residential roofs are solar ready so this will be one piece we'll address and match the ordinance to >> okay. >> the compilation. >> that gives us baseline to be solar ready that's our baseline. >> yes. >> all right. did you get a copy of go solar 70 project program that went out maybe a month ago. >> was it our report. >> the vote solar initiative did a study of the green house gas emission. >> yeah. roslyn jack did it was really, really strong. >> great and just if we're

talking about numbers. >> absolutely we're working with go solar on the sunset ordinance again. >> all right. thanks. >> all right. other thoughts. commissioner king sorry >> yeah. i would like to actually have to see what's in the planning pipeline for new developments particle housing i see so much not necessarily multi family but so many condos going up and a lot of that stuff is a downtown high-rise a lot of that stuff is, you know, kind of formerly spiritual areas and, you know, those places are, you know, generally their plans don't have anything on the roof if their tall buildings how do

we capture the sun from the roofs and windows i'm occurs what's being built out there right now and to take an assessment of that, you know, because we are going through another moment here i don't know how much it will last but clearly the southeast district from china by an to the visitacion valley are about to get, you know, repopulated i mean 10 thousand homes added candle stick alone in the next 15 years i'm curious to look at you know what plans are on the drawing board because it may help us to inform our decisions about where the agencies are going and how we may go back that. >> you know the other thing i

love any cow backroom here with the beard and mustache that's how i love my cow. >> can i respond commissioner king hates an excellent point will understanding how big a list it is in the requirement in, in fact, much of the new construction is doing that i don't know if it's the case the good news good news we have an ordinance were the housing and all the dwellings will be the lead so it's the start the question is how do we tackle our energy needs and energy independence needs and last but not least i want to make sure that solar remains in a domain that didn't get locked out from new folks.

i mean getting into the electrical union is tough business and if, you know, all of a sudden they could opted the work you'll find a lot of people who were promised opportunity we've of people we've been training with the city dollars so i think a lot of time when we talk about the jobs that we may also want to gave me unions about this to make sure where the industry is going on that upgrades, you know, so you listen to a lot of people you need to make sure you have, you know, a roof or electrician and who does the work belong to where did it ultimately go to if we do a citywide aforementioned that will strike up a larger conversation regarding that i

want to make sure you know, i want to make sure people get access those to those kinds of opportunity and certain unions are more challenging to get into than others. just on that one note we've seen clarification from the state saying that solar is multi craft work kind of opened up a lot of solutions on that front in the past year or so >> building trades they should put that on the same page and yeah. the building i know you're a member of the labor union so it's a good discussion it have. >> that was a weak one in the first place. that will be something in the report forta
