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 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
9:37 pm
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. >> 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
9:38 pm
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 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
9:39 pm
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 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

9:48 pm
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 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?

9:51 pm
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 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
9:52 pm
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 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
