it to the rate fairness board for them to consider as a package, the program design as well as the not to exceed rate. then we go out, we do a lot of things, but one of the thing we do then is go out to the market and see if we can get resources to match that program design at that not to exceed price and we come back to the rate fairness board with the outcome of that in the october timeframe. so the activities that happen in the short period now and at the rate fairness board on may 1st on the schedule are the outreach activities and design activities and bring it to our commission. >> okay. thank you. okay, if there is no other comments or parts of the presentation, i believe this is an information item. there is no action to be taken. we can go on to our next item no. 5. city clerk: item nor 5,
10:01 am
executive officers report. status update regarding the sfusd on the implementation and opportunities for the undergrounding wires and expansion of the fiber networks in san francisco and b, status update regarding the study of open source elections. >> congratulations. i would like to say congratulations for taking these spots and look forward to working with you in the coming years. this is a quick update. for the 1st one on the underground wires and fiber system. the request that the budget analyst do the report that parts of it is similar to ours and we are waiting for that report to be done instead of waiting for the report. they are in
10:02 am
the final steps of finalizing it. it's out for a couple reviews to make sure they have the comments in the report. we should have that out beginning of next week or at the beginning of march. once i have that, i will be able to take that and use that as a base for what we are doing our report on to answer any questions that are not on the report. it's taking a little bit longer than originally anticipated. as soon as that is done, i will be coming back with a draft report for everyone to review here. i hope at this point i hope to have something done by the end of march, given the work done on thecca program i think i can get it done by the end of march. one thing that did happen is we had an intern doing a lot of great research. she graduated from college and found a job. she has left us. i don't have a second person helping me out miechl
10:03 am
-- my goal is to try to get someone out for march to finish that process. for the open source elections, we have a great intern. angie lee, grew up in berkeley and college professional having gone to sf state and doing asian american sfudz in bachelor's degree and at usf for public affairs and will do a lot of research in getting that going and she's also going to use this paper that she's writing for us as her corner stone paper for her graduation. i know i'm going to get a great paper because she's going to get a great grade at school. i'm very excited to of have angie with us today. she'll put out the first draft which we'll
10:04 am
put out for review and after a normal process to get reviewed and take back for public comment and anything on that review. she'll get us through that first draft is what my anticipation is from her which is probably the end of april timeframe. >> great, welcome. as your first time being in lafco, but great to have you here. >> i hope we don't have to vote on a grade. >> no luckily we don't have to deal with the grading process. that will be from her professors. cory cook, gets to do the grading on that. finally while it's not on my official update, march will begin our budget season for us. we have already had some discussions with the board of supervisors because they start their process much early whier than ours. this will be the first year that we'll ask for funds to come from
10:05 am
the city and county of san francisco. it will be much more in the budget process that we have had in the past 2 years because we have been returning all the money. we'll finally have run most of our reserve down and only have a small portion of our reserve left that i don't think covers the entire balance of the funds. we'll be looking at that in march and i look forward to having a more full in depth discussion on the march meeting on that and in april we pass the final budget on that. that is all that i have within my report. >>supervisor john avalos: thank you, commissioner mar? >> welcome, angie and i'm sure that your involvement, this is going to help. i'm wondering if one of the neighbors concerned with undergrounding that it's going to divide local seniors that
10:06 am
don't have the same access to not only utilities but at times the high speed internet that many of us take for granted today. i would like to take a look at municipal fiber networks that massachusetts is looking at and sometimes at a regional level and local level oovment as part of the fiber extension, we have looked at, i don't think massachusetts was necessarily in the mix but we have looked at other jurisdiction and dealt with how they deal with the expansion of their fiber networks. some have done it with a focus purely on connecting commercial corridors to make them more vibrant and others have looked at commercial and resident. we have examples of other locals and how they are looking at and it's
10:07 am
actually a very widespread issue. the california lafco association general annual meeting is going to have a panel on broadband and if it is, i will make sure you are well aware. they don't deal with what this lafco does, but i will make sure that others are informed about it. >> make sure peter informs my staff about the massachusetts efforts. i know at least with good conversations with monkey brains who have been testifying before us and the internet archive effort the more locally based higher internet process for people with less access, i'm hoping we look at different options including what other states and jurisdictions are doing. thank you. >> so that was part a and we
10:08 am
have part b of our agenda. >> i did part a and b together there. >> we actually had a and b for item no. 4. and i believe that discussion about proceeding at the public utilities commission and california public utilities commission was inter woven for general discussion for cleanpowersf and discuss the timeline. was there anything that you know of in terms of the proceedings and the california public utilities commission that was not addressed or included? >> i asked while that was going on and there was nothing new to add that was added at last month's meetings for state level items. >> okay. thank you. so, in a concludes your report. okay. we can open this item up for
10:09 am
public comment. anyone who would like to comment, please come forward. >> good afternoon, one more time, eric brooks san francisco clean party on sf. the undergrounding in broadband and fiber, first of all the mold, the outstanding model in the united states is chattanooga tennessee where they are getting great service for $25 a month. let's put chattanooga front and center. on that issue, the obama administration and sf puc under the obama administration did something amazing and has locked in the protection for internet neutrality, internet equality and the obama administration last a couple more years and that is going to
10:10 am
change . if we are going to build a citywide public broadband open to all income levels, we need to start now. i would urge lafco to front and center this system. to get it ready to go as soon as we have cleanpowersf off the launch pad and elections which i think was listed in the agenda. this is a little bit more of a future thinking item like public banks. the voting has improved things but it's not doing what progressives thought it was going to do to improve the elections and make-up the board of supervisors. i think we should start changing the board of supervisors to'
10:11 am
representation to bring a lot more public diversity and a lot of activist would run because they would have a chance to win. it may profoundly approve a city government. >> that's intriguing. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. go on to our next item. city clerk: item no. 6, public comment. >> general public comments related to lafco. if anyone would like to further the discussion on recommendation. that would be welcome. seeing no one coming forward, we'll close public comment. >> next item. city clerk: future agenda items. >> colleagues, any future
10:12 am
items? commissioner crews? >>cynthia crews: i was going to ask something from the department to come and talk to us about cleanpowersf in addition to types of efficiencies that customers can do now through pg & e. >> great, that sounds really great to do. if director fried, if we perhaps can look into that for the next lafco meeting. i think it would be a good time to do that next month. if you can work vice-chair crews and the department, that would be great. >> i will try to get them for next meeting. >> thank you. we'll open this up for public comment. >> commissioner crews opened this up and it's really important.
10:13 am
eric brooks, san francisco clean party, san francisco clean energy advocate. this behind the meter thing is really crucial. it's really important to point out that what cal had on the department of environment that funds that pg & e has forced to take out of the bill to allow the city to work with the funds. cleanpowersf gives us an at some point to greatly ramp up the amount of funds spend on energy and more than what the department of environment is doing now and to enable this from the department of environment to do on solar and not just efficiency. that was behind the meter as well. as i said before, that was the one lack in the
10:14 am
enernex report and we haven't flushed out the meter resources by having contractors work on right away and setting the timeline no the to exceed rates to start working on planning out the meter to start working on this so the department of the environment can do something truly amazing and not just work with the funds that pg & e is forced to take out which are much smaller. i would reiterate what commissioner crews said and back it up. we need to get that rolling and the san francisco department environment a big role in the whole idea of the behind the meter and part of this and the behind the meter to be cooked up in a plan and we need to start planning these things now and that gets back to the mantra to get to the rate fairness board immediately so the board can vote for them as quick and possible and that gives
10:15 am
us the framework to do all this. >> thank you very much. >> commissioner crews? >>cynthia crews: i definitely don't want to steal mr. broom head's thunder but he has some pretty fantastic idea. i met with him and he walked me through that cleanpowersf showed much greater than that then ever provide right now pg & e. i think it's exciting and would love for it to be broadcast so members of the public can see that as well. thank you. >>supervisor john avalos: that sounds great. thank you for your work on that. so we go on to our next item. city clerk: item 8. adjournment. >>supervisor john avalos: colleagues we are adjourned, thank you. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >>
10:16 am
>> i have 2 job titles. i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected
10:17 am
mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915 the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population.
10:18 am
therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you could spend days going around the building and finding something new. the embellishment the carvings it represents commerce navigation all of the things that san francisco is famous for.
10:19 am
>> the wood you see in the board of supervisor's chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the sealceiling you would believe that's hand kofsh carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the
10:20 am
same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today.. >> good morning good morning, everyone. thank you ouch for being with us here this morning for the groundbreaking ceremony for the future home health 360 (clapping) restore delighted you're here there this historic moment i'm the chair the board of directors for health 360 (clapping.) this morning we have a few brief speeches to commemorate the day and american people official
