12:31 am
house of solar panels and selling the energy into the imprisoned whether it goes to pg&e or the power the new york spriblt but analog you'll regulate the pg&e rates so i don't know if you can have an answer to that kind of question but by analog california should be able to do you want a new york superior court system and careful explanation of clean energy the energy sold to the customers is just as toxic as the energy from benjamin e pg&e because of the flimflam the renewable energy credits that
12:32 am
generates no energy but a paper way of unethically creating energy in other state and sell is it and the customers don't realize they're not getting the energy in marin county okay. thank you very much let me venture a quick answer to our fundamental question this body has the power to regulate it the answer is no if you want a more detailed answer the staff can talk about that after the meeting. >> we control what we do not what pg&e does. >> so you can set the rate for a homeowner selling energy. >> to us. >> to you. >> good thank you for clarification. >> okay. thank you. >> and eric brooks.
12:33 am
>> good afternoon again eric brooks san francisco green power our city sf and the clean energy a great day the by the time rules for baseball are going to have to reassess their numbers or be in trouble this is a good moment the amendments look fine for commissioner morans amendments look sensible i'll say on that not we do need to really have staff dig into the tariffs and the metering along the lines of what the gentleman was saying we need to better incentivize and feeding the tariffs and metering to this customers but keep in mind that while we should do
12:34 am
better than pg&e the more we incentivize the customers by giving them a bigger return the fury resources we have for a citywide build out staff needs to flush that out what is a feed in tariff based on that and then finally i'll say that it is key we're south those rates not to exceed rates for another reason this is it will take us a long way towards identifying what exactly our revenues are going to be on which we can leverage bonds to build a citywide build out starts today to get the staff to scope out the local installations on homes and businesses and city property and
12:35 am
exactly what kinds of jobs this is key to scoping out the jobs phase as well thank you. >> i want to add with power sf we have been waiting years so. >> ms. frameer. >> i'm a thirty year resident of san francisco i want to urge you to approve the rate schedule for sf clean power as quickly as possible given that the parts of carbon in the atmosphere already steady 4 hundred parts per million we are past the point where climate change is going to occur and we need to expedite
12:36 am
moving to green power as quickly as possible i don't have any children or grandchildren i would regret having to explain our dependence on carbon based energy to any of the independents i have at this time we're burning up their inheritance in terms of the health of the architecture so, please approve the rate schedule as quickly as possible and san francisco moving forward towards the hundred percent clean energy thank you. >> thank you very much mr. row. >> and this is the last speaker card i have. >> hello my name is zach row i'm with the sierra club and also a student at the university of san

12:40 am

12:42 am
campaign of stopping shelf and so our council sophisticated enough to make sure we understand we're prohibited from saying certain things awhile we're in contract but we just can ask as we continue to have those conversations we don't forget about the community outreach we check all the jobs there are good jobs i'm asking the advocates not to lose site as a labor official and with the san francisco labor council that position has not changed in august of 2013 and none of those folks are here i have not been called no one has jagged my chance but in the event i need cover you guys can help me out
12:43 am
okay (laughter). >> okay. commissioner. >> commissioner general manager. >> i want to to say a couple of things before you take this historic vote i want to give a lot of credit to the staff if you think about where we were several years ago a lot of tension you know we've met with the advocates and hard informative the mayor's office and this board of supervisors and all the unions it was just really hostile investment and to get to a point where only 3 commissioners that are going to vote for this not 5 given the fact there's no rally outside talking about how bad we are and staff is here you know it's the way we operate nowadays we have a solid projecting pursuit we're going to talk up the marketing
12:44 am
plan it is the number one provided in being conceive in having the things commissioner so i feel so comfortable and confidence we working together now we'll make this program success and so i'm so looking forward to be the general manager when we release this program it will be successful. >> very good i'll call the question arrest. > all in favor, say i. > >> i. >> opposed? the motion carries. >> (clapping.) that's it come on (clapping.) thank you and madam secretary if you will call the items in closed session. >> item 15 has been removed from the calendar and item 16 the existing litigation versus the city and county of san francisco and 7 by 7 is existing claim for the bbldz builders

12:46 am
the motion carries do we have any other new business. >> there was an issue i want to raise we're getting real real good work probably for a couple of years silvers we make sure we credit the folks that did a lot of the heavy lift i'll be comfortable in reserving my points but it may not be popular reluctant to see public comment time reduced from where i come from oftentimes when advocates labor organizations even people that have got a lot of exclaiming when they take time out of their day to show up they
12:47 am
meetings as much it may not inconvenient i think we have to be extremely conservative even if we have to go into the night open government and transcript are more important than anything else i want to make sure that people know it doesn't have to be repeated over and over but to limit public comment sometimes depending on the issue that becomes the source and that is the restraint that people take offense i want to say for the record and to void that people value the opportunity to participate and for us it's just another meeting for them the only time they show up i think that is necessary
12:48 am
obviously conditioner it is not directed at you it is not directed as commissioner president caen i think appropriate voicing any opinion. >> i appreciate that and one of the things that one of the oddity of our public meeting if there is restriction of time you have to state that at the beginning of the meeting not make a judgment partway to the meeting to limit the testimony not knowing how many people will show up today knowing we have a mere quorum in attendance i wanted to make sure we keep our eye on this ball any other new business. >> i have a procedural question in terms of of time constraint that regime is not ours for the rest of the to be honest.
12:49 am
>> there's a committee meeting later. >> so we have to carry on something else. >> we'll have to adjourn to another location or another time i appreciate we've had we tend to allows commissioner late in the average afternoon and this is something as part of our obligation to hear public comment testimony we need to be committed to the notion we'll stick to that is the issue we have to recognize that as a obligations as well okay without any other new business you wanted to mention about the room. >> yeah. the room and commissioners. >> okay. then thank you
