9:30 am
go out to the market and solicit supply depending on the customer mixtures participation in the program intended to give you a picture of what is possible. >> and with that, i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> so just i guess the big question is what we're seeing in terms of net revenues are revenues we're able to really build off of and grow the program and right. right and it will be a policy choice open the part of the commission as to whether those revenues are spent fully on local build or set some aside to address rate adjustments that might have to happen pg&e rates hemisphere during the course of the year dollars set aside to continue to
9:31 am
fund ourselves and stay competitive with pg&e i suppose investing in those kind of things. >> i you know the thirty megawatts we're looking at in launching the program is that the model or looking to launch bigger or launch when we launch early next year. >> we're planning to isolate thirty megawatts but for some reason the market is in our favor we could come to the commission wow. we've got great opportunity but we're going with the expectation it will be a thirty megawatt program. >> we've seen revenues from 2 hundred thousand to a million. >> yes. >> that's the net revenues that's what we'd be collecting
9:32 am
at these rates in excess of our actual costs to operate the program. >> i'm just wondering if it is significant enough for us to have a robust program it seems really small. >> well thirty megawatts is a small program the margins formal a cca program are tight this will as those slides dpeement the net revenue opportunities are greener we're going to see how to maximize participation in that part of the program. >> i think we have data we looked at our market research from before it shows that are part of the city that are going to be more amenable to the one hundred percent renewable we haven't had a robust outreach to
9:33 am
make that happen but the thirty megawatts i'd like to start as possible even bigger. >> remember part of what we're trying to do by starting smaller work out the kings and also be able to continue to enroll more customers at the level of president obama out from the program is greater than we expected so room to reach a stable thirty megawatts by opting if we find ourselves in a situation there is really a strong campaign and we need to do more enrollment so that helps to
9:34 am
achieve the stability it helps us mitigate some of the risks and uncertainty around opt out and i'll state i agree with what ms. hale as present we're going to launch to a service part of the city for the deep green i actually get the broad portion of where you can get most of your money and do something that statewide as planned for small what merry run did they planned for a small deep green and got more people signing up so the first x number of people will opt in and they immediately went out and got for energy for the customers for more revenue this is a way to mitigate the risks i present what the port commission wants to do that but quickly grow the deep green if you don't
9:35 am
a citywide campaign anyone can say opt up that's what merry run did they 25r7g9d certain customers anyone that is not ♪ category you if not to join the deep green anyone in the service territory of merry run having can join we can do that anyone that lives in san francisco, california go deep green maybe not day one you can bring in more people to allow to get it number up >> can we do that with our energy providers start with thirty and rfp and gotten hooked. >> yes. nothing that constrains as you so certainly neglects up on the supply that are interested in the program
9:36 am
out stripping our current supply. >> i was thinking we get the additional energy we get professionals for 60 megawatts and put many of the people that respond to the original rfp on a water list. >> potentially we could the chang's chances are they'll have to go through a price refresher we might as well as go through other solicitation. >> i want to see if we can do it devil. >> as soon as the prices they're dead the next day so they agreed to something with our contract period but you're going to have to go out and get more prices from everyone so do
9:37 am
a brand new refresher for the rfp. >> that's why you have lafco do it. >> commissioner crews. >> thank you, ms. hale and mr. freed you cannot couldn't have set me up for 0 any question better what about the updates. >> i'll get back. >> can you e-mail me. >> absolutely you asked for that and i neglected to do that. >> supervisor breed. >> can you e-mail us the presentation i can take a closer look at it even with my glasses it's hard to see on the screen. >> i'll do that any other questions by the way the regulatory i didn't want i wanted to rim you ear expecting
9:38 am
pg&e to have their green option letter this is the filing they're planning to do in program roll out and price that's an anticipated filing we'll report when we see that and had the chance to summarize it other than that there is no other activity to report at this time. >> thank you for your presentation that was useful information today earth day so happy earth day to everyone it was to the be considered that was earth day and i forgot all about it now i'm wondering if there's been i guess any you know april 22nd is earth day and this month has the puc done outreach in terms of the website p this is informing people of our
9:39 am
programs i think if we don't it will be great to get handouts it looks like it was done in the 80s but i did not it was and that was produced by the pg&e and. >> the sierra club oh, their stuck in the 80s did i say that. >> (laughter). >> we have materials they need to be updated just this week and last week an agreement 101 on the program report and the fairness board we've got information that is solid we'll develop the materials that xhupz that. >> i do love the 80's i'm stuck in that we are are a okay. anything else to add to lafco staff. >> i think i did my comments at the beginning we'll have a lot of great movement so i'm looking
9:40 am
forward to see that moving forward i've been working with supervisor breed's to get the information to the committee and getting the hearing set up and assign to the budget committee working with the staff to get a date calendar. >> it was really great to see the introduction yesterday we're moving forward in unso that so great to see so this item is up for public comment are there any members of the public who wish to speak please come forward. >> okay. good afternoon, commissioners eric brooks san francisco ground floor party and san francisco clean energy advocates once again thank you to sfpuc for getting keeping to the timeline pretty much for moving forward with more rennet when the public asked for it and
9:41 am
speeding up the not to exceed rate i want to touch on the item how spoke about at the end which was yes if we do not roll out decide we can roll out a 60 or one hundred megawatts and don't do that we have to wait for oath rfp round so we should be careful to launch at the highest size to launch at sonoma county just got their leathern it was beating pg&e prices from the gina 10 percent opt out rate not expected to go above 15 on the rate issue we need puc to approve the riots ratings on the 28 because may pg&e is going to
9:42 am
put out it's rates it is really important we beat them to the punch and go to the newspapers hey cleaner sf is better rates than pg&e and one last thing not in the timeline advocacy is miguel's we have to get the department of investment and lafco staff all working together to start right now to design and sfwrathd a build out research is planning for local resources not flushed out and it needs to be thanks. >> hello commissioner avalos jed from 350 san francisco happy earth day i'm wearing any no fossil fuel the elk club
9:43 am

9:44 am
350 and other organizations are starting to do a lot of outreach at the events we met that the women's political committee i said to mention from the budget item i would agree i think we need lafco to stay very on top of the community choice program most cca come from scratch an elected pubically account board because of our in this case chart sidewalks we're forming inside of an existing agency that is not pubically open so lafco severs a critical mediating role just want to support wavering the thirty day rolling rule and the perspective
9:45 am
process we've heard from the lafco and puc staff to speed up the process we support that and lastly i think thinking about alternative financing is really important we saw the finance the net revenue available but that is a revenue stream that would be leveraged into bonds into finance streams i'm not educated about i hope we'll look beyond the simple net right side in terms have to fund the massive generation built out we all want to see that's all thanks very much and ms. hale thank you for the indulgence we'll have 98 sign up to date on our online portal to respond to our questions and echo that's great to hear and anyone in the
9:46 am
listening outside audience that wants to celebrate earth day sign up on the website we'll public comment is closed. and thank you for commenting and this is information called an action item we've all heard we're wavering the thirty day rule and start drafting the request for proposals 0 that those can go out the door and we'll finalize the ordinance and we urge expedition throughout the efforts so thank you and with that we'll go on the next item which is item 5. >> item 5 status update for the implementations and opportunity for floung wires for san francisco francisco. >> jason fried lafco staff i
9:47 am
sent an e-mail we've realized the draft version of the report i've given it to you and the short-term rentals stakeholders it are interested from side board of supervisors it is out there for review i'm planning oncoming badgering bank on may to give the whole presentation may 15 is the deadline to get comments back i'm looking at a presentation on the draft and any february i've gotten up to that point and come back with a final reverberation at the june meeting for final filing of the report there is a lot of information on the fiber suicides side that is operate is from the under grounding that is happening last week at the board of supervisors supervisor mar and supervisor mar here has a is the digital divide it coincides with the
9:48 am
report and supervisor farrell introduced an extension of that looking at other option there's a lot of movement on that side going on i'll keep my report up to date but with so thavg so i'll continue to add as much as i can this report kwoos meant to be a collaboration of various reports that are done over time within itself city and county i'll do my best to incorporate those reports and getting to a final version we've not gotten a lot of comments i'll be going to the capitol planning committee in early may to acid and have a discussions which is in that if with respect to agenda items your opportunity to address the commission to do under grounding for the fiber network capital planning plays a role i'll be
9:49 am
sitting down to give them an understand we're looking for suggestions how to move forward i was not able to find new funding sources as well as the utility wires side all the reports show what was available old programs could have been continually but there's no current new funding sources from the federal level maybe some fund through the economic recoveries some ability to grab funds but the city didn't have shovel ready projects so keeping unus up to date i hope the country didn't glow the economic turn down we had but if it ever doesn't say shovel ready projects you could get extra funding not in the report it was of the comment i've noticed in
9:50 am
reviewing of everything the one thing i found sharing projects reduced costs get everything done at the same time supervisor wiener and interest throughout the city of street light transitioning from city owned and controls thirty percent of the underground costs was for replacement of the actual street lightsism so if you do something that corridors if you have funding for the other thing you may not save a little bit of money but those little bits add up the one thing i'm suggesting perhaps the city and county they have a 5 year role plan of under grounding when we go out and do street resan francisco bay area the puc goes out and test all of it sewer and waterlines that are
9:51 am
underneath that street and determine whanz had w who thinks needs to be replaced so they'll replace those to possibly wait how much in a given year long time the last 5 years and potential 5 years what streets need floup for fiber or the a utility you'll not need all of that the city did 20 to thirty miles for water or water and sewer together so how much would it cost to add utility wires how much more to do that work and how much total that gives the advocates doing the underground activity every year we need to raise x amount of money so go back to the ballot for the voters will you pay for a bond
9:52 am
or increase in property tax several ways to a pay for it they actually understand this is how much we need to ask for it may not be as equitable you're following someone else's plans you gives a cost effective way to do that is one of the big suggestions scott wagner having the city and county look at the last 5 years and easily do it and look at the next 5 years to add in the work what does it mean and gives 10 years of averages and give an idea it is one of the bigger things like the city and county steps to take that is outside of lafco purview that's my report on this
9:53 am
matter. >> i don't see any questions or comments public comment is open on item number 5 good afternoon one last bite and apple also public net san francisco which we've in light of the water been happening in the past few days around broadband and the digital divide we definitely you know we've been pushing for executive officer frooedz report to get into the fiberoptic question advocates from public net definitely see urging executive officer frooedz report as a launch point now to get to the next big thing that lafco ought to work on making sure we have low-cost fiber broadband to ever home and business in san
9:54 am
francisco like in chatting nothing tennessee people pay low fees it is what we saw supervisor farrell come out with yesterday with respect is not that picture it is the kind of thing we with health care just like water and sewer and contribute and other public serviced and like our roads and highway especially broadband internet should be a public thing built built and owned by the government and public what we saw from department of technology in the hearing recently didn't reflect that we were going to go for making this a public utility that is big and
9:55 am
low-cost to consumers and critically to small businesses that need a booster right now we really need lafco to get on this - >> (inaudible) strike while the iron is hot. >> thank you seeing no other members of the public in the room we'll close public comment do we want to go on to item 6 can we call 6 and 7. >> executive officer report and item 7 public comment. >> item 6 first of all may 15 is our next meeting it is our regularly scheduled meeting before memorial day so we moved it up next weekend is the third friday not the fourth and just

9:57 am
>> colleagues future things or issues seeing none public comment. >> one quick thing it is also to the broadband issue eric brooks san francisco green party net when we public nets been having discussions with public officials and supervisors the broadband issue we're identifying some things the department of the technology it is manages technology access for city purposes and it is not really a utility that would be a good idea to do something to start is an independent body or nonprofit to manage the citywide broadband system and that is something that the lafco could take up it would be much easier than we tried to do with clean sf where a charter got in the way in the case of broadband
9:58 am
there is no chart block and the lafco could september up a entity to manage the broadband i urge you to put that open the agenda and discuss what kind of an entity citywide for public broadband thank you. >> broadband authority. >> okay seeing no other member of the public here we'll close public comment and before jurnd i want to thank sfgovtv bill smith and dillon. >> thank you very much we're adjourned
