7:01 am
and things start to get more formulaed and that soft boiled egg becomes firm er we'll come back and keep you addressed. >> right as this information gets out to more people and i hear back from community members i want to be able to say okay this is where we are. i'm hoping this isn't the last time we have some say so on this. >> and do a letter maybe jointly from myself and director raphael to president cane and general manager kelly what do you think? >> that would be fine unless it's awkward for me to be saying. >> oh. >> we want our department to be doing things but let me see how it sounds. >> okay. maybe we leave it maybe in this motion leave it at the discretion of whether we
7:02 am
actually draft whether it will come from myself on on the commission's behalf or if it fits for our director to join as well okay. so can i get a motion then for this commission to send a letter to the sfpuc that indicates that we support moving forward with the new version of cleanpowersf that offers a product that is affordable green and creates local union jobs and offer the support of the san francisco department of the environment to assist the sfpuc in this effort particularly with respect to planning behind the meter resources such as efficiency and renewable energy and with effect to community outreach a motion please. >> the second. before we do a quick vote was there any other

7:05 am
for adoption on a single roll call vote. any questions on that? deputy city attorney. >> if any commission member does wish to have separate discussion, they can simply request that the item be taken off the consent calendar. >> so if there's no interest to take any one of these items -- yes commissioner king. >>

hundred percent union city and i know that's a lot to dream for but we need to get back to those days and so i just want to commend this commission for heading us in that direction thanks. >> so colleagues, there's the two components to gleneagles it's a pathway for folks to enter a lot of different unions jobs at gleneagles maintaining the golf course and jobs in the city agencies and private sector all linked to this notion of apprenticeship and we get to have more sustainable golf and influence the curriculum in terms of of how folks get trained we use less water pesticide and pga is a member of the steering committee and the pga has rules when they go go to have a golf
7:12 am
event we see the pesticide use go up for the golf tournaments we found out that's because the pga requires a certain set of standards in terms of how the golf course needs to look to be camera ready tiger woods ready but innovating it at gleneagles golf course in a way we use less water and pesticide and can demonstrate back to the pga that you can achieve the same things that attract your big tournaments and high profile events you can do it in a holistic immunity driven environmental ly sustainable way and that's really the fun part about it. >> if we do our job right i mean that's the idea that it's

san francisco clean energy advocate. i totally agree with commissioner king i think you and i both were talking about it i think some of rest of you were talking about artificial turf there's more jobs in real grass anyway and i don't want to say we told you so but we told you so and so the folks that didn't listen i agree we need a hearing on that i think it's very important to have a joint sfpuc environmental commission meeting of the things we've been talking about those need to be flushed out on tv for the public to see all right what's the plan how are we moving forward and how are we going to create the jobs and all of that. and one other thing -- when you did item 7, what happened the discussion
7:23 am
was a little bit confusing i think what you voted on was sending a communication immediately to those bodies including the mayor's office but i also heard director raphael say that this would be an agenda item for approval and i wanted to make sure that that that wasn't the case and that the communication going forward now could be a future agenda item as a resolution just to seal the deal but i wanted to make sure the communication is happening soon because decisions are being made in the next few weeks at the sfpuc and at the board and your communication will be very valuable towards making sure those decisions are going to the right direction. >> thank thank you. director raphael. >> what i meant was the communication would go out immediately but to the point of
7:24 am
commissioner king the program is not set in stone at this point it's still under formation and to your point of having future transparency about the direction we're going here. >> any other public comments? all right. seeing none public comment is closed. >> public public comments not on today's agenda. >> all right any public comments. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> adjournment 7: 25. >> thank you everybody. >> >>
