the tough nut that i think san francisco, from my perspective, building out the market for light duty vehicles, how do we tap into this market which is 50% of the household, which have a difficult time as you mention mentioned trying to figure out where you charge the vehicle. a lot of activity occurring there. i will point back to the tough nut to crack, is money. a tough nut to crack is bodies on this issue, even if you have money trying to convince an owner of a building to install a charger or wok place, is not easy. what we're looking at right now the three iou's utilities pg and e, and southern california gas and election put on the

commission $1.1 billion in infrastructure money. now this is more than what the federal government put on the table, which is $400 million, for the entire country. very key question here is $1.1 billion, is the question of cross subsidy, that is an issues we dealt with during the 90s trying to get the electric vehicle market moving analysis shows, if electric vehicle is charging primarily at night, when there is extra capacity in the system including capacity fixed distribution lines, and adding capacity a good part oof a decade fighting load building, in this case we have a different per spiktive, if you december place oil, that's a

good thing from a pollution perspective and when you do that off peak, when with you have the extra capacity, it shows from consultants, from utilities, they're part of the applications, the entire system benefits to the tune of 2-$8 million in 2030 context, depending on what rates they're on. that is the cost of serving the electric vehicle customers at night is far exceeded by the revenue -- it's very technical, i apologize for this. i'm happenty to provide more information, but electric vehicle and all the grid customers can benefit, if we do this right, which is what we're urging the pec commission to do to make sure these are instituted in a way that

provides all of the benefits if pg and e gets resours to do this program, there are different models out there, in terms of different utility approaches they can put utilities, onto help small business owners to install infrastructure we think that is a key piece. >> yes? >> i thought we were going -- >> yes, i apologize >> i have something to say. [laughter] i will be brief. i would say the biggest wish list as johnny pointed out, there say lot of money going to this and money targeted for disadvantaged communities, for my advocacy purposes to have effective facilitators, to make

sure it's going to the right hands, director raphael, you talked in depth about the energy efficiency programs how your colleagues went directly into the communities, and were able to have a lot of success. that is it. period. if there is a similar program done for electric vehicles there say lot of money. i live on 26 lt and mission, i pass by the markets i see in the morning, trucks unloading produce for the day if those trucks were operating, electric vehicles, or hybrid or something like that having the targeting outreach is critical. the money will not be -- we don't have that to that program, but for electric vehicles would be amazing. >> i will give you one, then i might give you another one.

we're regulatory agency. san francisco has got regulatory power, you need to man date electric vehicle charging be built into all new building construction and major remodel in the city i have seen 1 or 2 cranes i think there is some building going on [laughter]. mite be a good idea if all of those buildings, came preready for electric vehicles, that gives employees, and folks that live there take advantage of this technology, second thing is you are the city of san francisco, they're out there, they're show case free advertisement, we will give you electric motor vehicles, the money is there, the air district will supporter, that is something you can do now and something you need to consider. >> that is great.

in fact, that's a perfect thing to segue at new business later on, we have been talking about the department and some time ago, we passed a resolution that led to convening, around making solar mandatory to go solar powered development, to be eb ready on day one of development would be great, and the other thing that might be the big try effect ta is to be 0 waste ready on development, maybe that is something new we can talk about there, we can do a fun diagram, right cal? thank you very much. this is helpful. commissioner stephen son? >> this is something, maybe bob, you can answer, what percentage

of the fleet is electric in the city >> it's slowly transitioning, of light duty is about 1% is plug in vehicleses right now, the key thing is the key purchases as keys are turned over is a much higher percentage, do you have the number? debbie? >> yeah for 14/15, this fiscal year, 15% are plug in electric. 20% are gasoline so 80% are cng, or high bride, we're difficult nitly greening, the electric is still a small percent, if you think of where we were we're up to 15% for new vehicles, for this calendar fiscal year. >> the pace is picking up and the incensive funding that the

district has is getting attention of the purchaser department fleets. >> thanks bob. thank you everybody. unless there's other comment? we can go to public comments. members of the public want to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you everybody for coming sekita, say hi to executive director, aguilar from us. thank you. again [applause]. thanks bob monica if you can read the next item? >> review and approval of resolution 2015-04-coe -- (reading) of draft resolutions, and reimburses sponsor is deborah raphael, direct speaker,

shawn rowsen moss senior environmental special development community part sner thips sf carbon fund and alexa kielty 0 waste specialist. >> thank you. as you know, we come before you to report on our grant making activities, this year in february we issued an rfp, for die version programs it's important to realize, this is grant making around 0 waste specifically, what we're looking for specifically what we're looking for in here is a deliberate metric, of tons diverted. we received 16 proposalses, for about 1-and-a-half million dollars, we had half of that or some -- i don't remember --

800,000 to give out. more than we could give out. i want to recognize a couple of actions that the commission asked of us, and how we're listening to you and taking action there is a concern last year about the process of how these awards were given. so my staff will be reporting on that process to you today to talk about what we learned from last year and what we did this year. secondly commissioner wald has said it would be -- warm her heart if the people who get this money would come and tell us about their work. so some of the people you see in the audience are in fact those people and with that, i will turn it over to my able colleagues, shawn and alexa who will walk you through both of those. >> nice to be here you know this is my favorite part of my job, our process we are leased

the rfp, i'm not sure it was included in your packet here's what we're looking for and here's the evaluation metrics etc., we promoted it a lot of places, remoted it to other city department, that do grant makes, we promoted it every staff and department has a huge list, so all of the staff promoted it to their list and a specific list that rachel berkle keeps, it goes to their list and go to d.c. yf, our website, we did an extensive amount of outreach on the rfp, we had a bitters conference we know as a government entity it's public money, it can seem overwhelming if you are a young community

based portion organization to put this together we have a bitter conference to walk them through the rfp, we post the questions on the website, then we also have you know, people can e-mail alexa with additional questions, which are also posted on the website. so a we as debbie said got 16 proposals in we have panels that consisted of alexa and myself, and a 0 waste expert, a long time residence and possibly one of the first consultants in the u.s. so very knowledgeable so we scored proposals, anybody who got over 70 got to the nekdz round, and anybody over a 90, we thought, yes, we will fund them, the ones between 70 and 90, we interviewed those people, that

was a different committee of alexa, me, and the executive director of the clean city tell us if you don't know work force development organization that serves people with barriers to employment and formulae incourse rated, so they do a lot of work on 0 waste, a grantee of our, and run 0 waste programs she was interviewed. and selected the grantees, with that i'm going to hand it over to alexa, to tell you about the selection of the grantees, and some of the wonky and less wonky, things we discuss. thank you. >> thanks shawn >> hi commissioners, i'm alexa, kielty, with the 0 waste program, i will talk to you about our background our director covered some of this basically, this is money coming

from the refuse rates it's specifically earmarked for die version, we are talking about reuse, recycling, waste compose prevention, we're looking at how much tons can we divert through these projects, but we also look at the cost per tons we look for cost effective projects as well. we look at how the tons are measured. we actually during the interviewses, and the application, how are they pressure measuring the tons and weighing the material as it comes through, and we look at the highest and best use, we value reuse over recycling, waste prevention is something we value the most in the hierarchy. to achieve or goals in 0 waste we need to reach communities, that is a priority to us and we

need to look at what will amplify our 0 waste message, we take that into consideration, we look at our cobenefits, i wanted to highlight some of the cobenefits from the recommended projects for example, you will see sf food bank they not only feed hungry people in sachlt frachlt, they capture edible food that is december sinned to landfill, through the food recovery program. this is a fanistic program, this is the second year we're funding it in a row. the conservation san francisco -- for youth specifically, they're doing tremendous work they have evented in san francisco, they divert compost and recycling at i vents, throughout the city. will you see them at events in san francisco, sorting through the materials at the scene, they

provide education for people going to events goodwill second we're year funding them they not only divert textiles from landfills, but they create local jobs something we care about deeply, also scrap is an example of keeping material out of landfill but helping teacher get access for her honor learning, which is critical. i wanted to mention a few problth projects, new this cycle there is co-op, there are a few from the organization here. it's a youth community. there is about 300 families that live there they have amazing garden, and composting but the youth will do outreach to teach about composting, that is new

and fresh. we're funding recycle for change who is also in the audience, they are increasing the community of sex tile collection, some of the commissioners knows, that is one of my passions we're sending 18,000 tuns of textiles to landfill, we don't need to be doing that we need to promote textile reuse in the city and recycle for change as well as goodwill will be helping us with that creating easy collection in san francisco. and drop off location. san francisco state universities, early child care center, that is a new group we have not worked with they said they want to expand early education composing in our center. this is educating all of the early educators in the bay area, if i'm saying that right. it's a great location for them

to set up composting programs specifically paper towels they go through in these communities, the next is david glad stone, they're partnered with ucsf they're a huge lab, and that research. they have interested in diverse, huge amounts of styrofoam, they approached us, and said we want to diverse and recycle it through gb industrial we're excited to work with them, it's something new and different and innovative, everybody is here from all of the grantees, perspective grantees in the audience, thank you for coming, i know it's a long meeting [applause] i wouldn'ted to open up for questions if you guys have anything.

>> thank alexa. questions? comments? commissioner wald? >> i have no questions, although i would invite our prosective it's five minutes before you make us we make you real grantees, in your programs i personally want to thank you for coming here tonight, it means a lot to me to see you and to have you see us going forward, we are partners you are representing us when we talk about about the work of the department, we are representing you. and it's really good to be able to put a face to the name i assume on both sides of this equationless it's also a wonderful

opportunity to thank you all for the very important work you are doing in your communities in your homes in your laboratories and for spreading the message along with us thank for coming and thank you for your work. does anybody want to come up? you don't have to. oh good. >> all right. welcome. >> hello, commissioners, i'm olive, the executive director for scrap. tonight, i wasn't sure what the format would be i thought this was a more public comment portion, excuse what i'm about to say, on behalf of the board, we have staff and volunteers of

skap i would like to express our gratitude for the association, and su pout port of skap without it, skap would be hard pressed to survive let alone thrive. there say tremendous amount of alignment between what the sf environment does and the mission of scrap. we feel there is more alignment yet to seek. the catch phrase is reduce reuse, recycle, while the city has enacted laws regarding reducing waste has mandated rooik recycling and composting, it has yet to invest in the reuse part of the equation -- contrasting new york city's where resues is part of the cultural affairs, but receives a million dollars in subsidy each

year. through san francisco environment, they're supporting less than -- % to the waste, a great start but more to be done. a groum of grass rootses organizations ready and willing to do the hard work for 3019 years, scrap has been on the edge of the movement along with other organizations here tonight. scrap is the little engine that can. our annual die version of waste certify pass 250 million, or half a million pounds, we have received over 1,000 pounds of waste. we do this on a tremendousously small shoestring without a dime of city investment, but it has not been easy.

half a million pounds of waste diversed thousands of teachers supported multiple thousands of children given the opportunity to express themselves, and 0 waste promosted far and wide, our business has us earning 90% of the affordable income for 90% of material tell us how many nonprofits can claim that? we can take this to scale, we can diverse 10s of thousands, perhaps millions of tons of waste each year and increase our ability to self sustain. the fact is it's not enough. ours like our colleague organizations is a volume business. we don't have a big store front in a well heeled neighborhood with lots of traffic, we are in district ten in a warehouse without an address, and use for

reusability, but we cannot do it alone. $30 came through our warehouse, is enough to sustain associations -- this past week there was a mission about the gentrification of the city mission district talking about the family artists lost in our -- making it more difficult for grass roots organizations to exist in san francisco. scrap plays a crucial role in sustaining our cultural fire ask the thousands of artisan crafts people, rely on the materials they find at scrap, ask the thousands of san francisco public schools who supply their materials in class they find at scrap.

we're the burning ambers of the fire that sustains our city. we think it's time to get serious about resues in san francisco, it's time to bring organizations such as scrap out from the shadows, into the light, by longing the city's significant resources to bear. thank very much. [applause] -- >> we're delighted to be partnering with you, on the textile die version strategy this is not about goodwill this is about the community, i invite our partners to work as we move forward on this grant, we're excited to add to the over 25

million pounds, we divert from landfill each year and growing, the wonderingful thing about goodwill and our brand, people know us, bring us our thing thing, now we can amplify and promote it we are important fate, to partner with businesses and organizations, san francisco, is a leader the u.s. commissioner should be so proud to be a part of this as we are. everything is about being thought partners doing this better pushing hard and recycling resources, we're grateful we appreciate it we look forward to partnering with all in the audience thank you. [applause]
