garage doors, modifications to plumbing and increase to $2 million. coincidentally today, supervisor campos is also introducing an ordinances to the board of supervisors that would exemption these grant-funded projects to help further incentivize the program and one of which is this grant program modification. as with the current grant program, the modified grant program would be administered by the sfpuc and applicants would be -- applications would be reviewed in coordinate workers' compensation dpw and

dbi. we believe these modifications reflect the needs of the affected communities and hope you will consider approving this important resolution to help property owners lower their risk of damage due to flooding. >> we have a lot of public speakers, but commissioners, any comments? >> yes, i have a question and comment. so the uptake from the first program two years ago -- because i remember we spent some time reviewing -- >> right, right. >> has it been pretty successful? it sounds like you have done a bunch of outreach and have people really been applying for the grants? >> yes. we have had several people actually going through the grant process right now. but we have run into challenges, because the flood barriers and the back-flow preventers didn't necessarily meet everybody's needs. hence, flood walls, in further meetings we decided that we can

meet an awful lot more of these needs with flood walls and grade changes, perhaps plumbing changes. different plumbing changes than the back-flow preventers. >> if people are still applying have they been in the areas most prone to flooding? >> yes. >> they have. so that part it sounds like has been successful at least from the outreach perspective. and i do hear that there are projects for el ninos coming potentially this winter. so i think that probably would include some pretty heavy rainstorms. >> every rainstorm spawns a whole new initiative to get this going. >> yes. i'm just wondering a little bit about the timing, and with the hope that if indeed the forecasts come true, that they bob able -- would be able to have the barriers in place by the next time the rains hit? >> it's an individual base. property owners actually

responsible for all the construction work. they don't go through a standard process through approvals and what not. they go through what any private construction, if you are modifying your house, you go through the exact same dbi and dpw approvals. absolutely. some of these can be done very quickly. >> great. i would just ask if we approve this today, that you really get out there and do the outreach. because we're in july, and if people want to get prepared for what could potentially be a heavy rainstorm winter, it would be great to make them aware of this program. >> we will definitely continue an aggressive outreach program. >> thank you. >> good. any other comments from the commissioners? okay. to the general public, because there are so many speakers, i would like to limit it to two minutes, if you don't mind. i'm going to call three people at a time. robert hanson. dennis casey. and chris hinkley. come forward, please.

[ inaudible ] >> all right. >> just real quickly, i'm dennis casey, five-time president of the san francisco motorcycle club. we're 111 years old and we had mayors of the city of san francisco as members of our club. we're about 100 members strong now. we're the largest motorcycle club in the world at one time and we're first to allow women members. we have been in the building at 2194 folsom for many years. we are not an outlaw club, just a regular motorcycle club. we are not the sons of anarchy, but the sons of san francisco and particular folsom street. our clubhouse is a -- our club is non-profit, we use our clubhouse for weddings, birthdays, christmas parties

special events. it's just a clubhouse. it's open to the public. and we have always been very generous to our neighbors and never had the police there except one time 30 years ago for a noise compliant. if we are in the clubhouse right now, and the last flood, you would be the only people on dry ground. so the other thing we have done, we spent almost all of our own savings -- i can't mention specific numbers. it's way in excess of $50,000 to support our own foundation on our own dime. we can really use some help with waterproofing the front door and with the plumbing back-flow items that we would get funding for if this were approved. thank you very much. >> thank you. our next speaker dennis casey. >> i was dennis casey. >> oh, sorry. too many pieces of paper here.

>> go ahead. >> my name is chris hinkey and i have had my building three years. there has been three floods there. after the first flood, i realized it's going to be a lot of work to get this fixed. i spent almost $ million on the building to prevent water getting in with doors and flood-prevention systems and pumps and everything. i urge you to get this motion passed so all the other residents can do the same things to protect their buildings. it would really be helpful, particularly before el ninos come in and global warming and so on. the bigger picture, we would like to get this fixed permanently to prevent the surge waters getting into our builds. there are proposesals and one is to put a proposed park on 17th and folsom street. but if we can put that in, it could actually prevent the water getting into our buildings anyway. so i really hope we could look at this further and meanwhile today, let's get this first stage

passed. it could really help a lot of people. thank you. >> thank you. now do we have mark jordan? okay. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is mark jordan. i am a 13-year member of san francisco motorcycle club, the same club that dennis casey just addressed you about. dennis has told you about our history in san francisco. we are really an institution here and i believe a true asset to the city. in addition, to the things that dennis mentioned that our clubhouse does, one thing that i would add, we do a lot to support not only the motorcycling community, but all of the folks in our peripheral communities when they need help. we do a lot of fundraising and so forth and now it's us to do fundraising efforts to waterproof our building. we're having to rebuild our foundation because of hydrocompaction that happened over the 100 years or so that the building has been there. this is one of the

lowest-laying areas of the city. on march 19th, i attended the public seven-day forecast safety and neighborhood services commit, where they discussed improvements on folsom street. i'm not hydrologist or engineer, but the takeaway i got effectively there is no easy solution to fix the flooding problem that we have in that area. what was discussed was large numbers and large reservoirs to be constructed. so i urge this body to approve the motion before you today, the modifications. and i also have an estimate actually from a company called flood -- i will submit that to you to give you an idea of the numbers and amount of money. it's about $20,000 to flood-proof the top two feet of

our wall and add a floodproof door. thank you for your consideration. >> thank you for your time. the next three speakers: hans arts. angela sinocropi and francisco garcia. >> hi. my name is hans art. i'm an auto mechanic and i have been running my shop for 45 years in the mission district at 17th and folsom. we had to mop out our shops more times than i can remember because of overflow of the sewer system. i want to support this program, because we will -- i tell you, we will very effectively use the dollars available to help keep the waters out of our properties. one of the difficulties that i have is that i have a parking lot that acts as a conduit that floods the restaurant next

door. so that is the sort of specific solution to a problem that the earlier program didn't have the money to support. so we'll save you a lot of money. >> good. thank you. >> hi my name is angela and i own a building that is both my business and residence on 16th street. we got flooded off and even more in 2004 and got flooded against -- this last year and to thank the puc and meeting with hans and others and discussing in depth the changes to the grant for our buildings. because the dam was just not the right solution for the majority of the buildings. i think very, very few people

actually went through that, because it won't work. you know, it would prevent you from entering your building. you would have to be there to install it and know ahead of time. things like that. so the changes would be so each of us could individually do something that would specifically prevent our buildings from flooding. and we really, really need it. you know, i mean it's really stressful. it's really expensive. it's an ongoing problem. so we need this, so we personally can hopefully immediately act on it to prevent damages, rather than repair thing after they have already been damaged. so i think it's a really good solution to at least get things started and that is about it. thank you. >> thank you for coming. our next speaker. mr. garcia. >> hello commissioners. i ran a restaurant in the mission, cafe and we have been

flooded five times in seven years. so we support 12 families, all mission residents. it's a little hard to keep going with a business, you know? when we have every winter is a headache. we can barely sleep and we appreciate that the city helps us cleaning and opening again. this time, we were closed four months from december to april. so really actually were doing our best. we already installed the barriers, but we get 70% of the water -- so we really need the help. and we really want the issue to be solved on the ground, and not just cleaning every year. so we really need to be able to

grow. so we really appreciate that you help us in this matter. >> what was the name of the restaurant [speaker not understood] . >> thank you. >> it's on the property of malcolm davis. we opened seven years ago and we flooded five times. every year, every winter, especially now with el nino coming it's very scary. it's hard to run a business, when you know that you close and you have to re-open again or have the funds to start again from zero. this is all mission san francisco residents that we support, low-income people. thank you very much. >> thank you for coming. next speakers, malcolm davis. and mr. picasso, is that correctly? and are there any other speakers that want to speak to this item?

>> i'm malcolm davis. >> i'm sorry, some of you have already spoken. [ inaudible ] >> fine. fill out a form. okay. mr. davis. i think you called sam picasso and malcolm davis. >> that is me. who is on first? [laughter ] malcolm davis, could you please speak? >> yes, i just wanted to show something on the overhead. >> may we have the overhead, please sfgovtv? >> there is actually a possible solution for our problem at 17th and folsom. there is an existing parking lot there. there is an existing parking lot that is currently sladed to be a park and affordable

housing. and if that area was lowered by 4', it would hold 1.5 million gallons of water and be a straightforward and simple way of doing a temporary fix, that would keep all of these buildings in the area from flooding. right now it's currently planned that they are going to start the park construction. it's imminent. i haven't been able to get a straight answer from anybody about the park. i have talked to supervisor wiener and representative from david campos' office and i can't get a straight answer when the park is really supposed to start? i think it's really foolish to take the park out of conversation about the solution to the problem. because it's half the site. and once we were talking about three-levels of problem solution. we were talking about immediate, sort of short-range solutions, mid-range solutions and long-range solutions and working through the grant program, which i'm very much in favor of. we have gotten down to the

grant program being the mid--level solution as opposed to ground storage as the solution what i am talking about here is this is from december 12th, when midterm solution was subsurface storage underneath the park. i think a lot of people think there is going to be storage underneath, but it has no storage. so i think it's a silly long-term plan for the city to be spending money on a park that is either going to make the problem worse. because if the park is higher than the flood-level, it will go first evangelical lutheran church and if it's lower than the flood-levels, it's going to flood and it has a play yard and vegetable gardens. so neither one of those is a good solution. like really this piece of land needs to be part of the solution. so that is what i wanted to say. >> so mr. carlin, can you put

somebody in touch with mr. davis? >> we certainly will. >> i can leave this with you, if you would like. >> our next speaker. >> buenos tardes. >> translator: my name is samuel picasso. i live in folsom and 17th. for 44 years. in these 44 years living in this area it has been flooded 37 times.

okay he is saying a lot and he doesn't see a solution, unless something big, like a big step is made, like changing the pipes or maybe making what malcolm said. he says -- never fixed -- never. >> never. >> never, >> translator: he said his child saw him 20 years ago, there is a big canal under folsom could be the solution -- that is all. >> that is it. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming.

the last speaker is mary anne robertson. >> hi, my name is mary anne robertson and i have a business at folsom and 17th, and own the business at the -- or own the building that the business resides in. it floods every time it rains, even though we are in a drought year, last year it flooded twice. so we do need this grant program and hopefully it -- i mean i'm not even sure that this is going to help my business actually. it's right on folsom and 17th. hopefully it will, and hopefully a long-term solution can be found, like sammy said. increasing the pipe size along folsom street, particularly when there are more residents in the mission. there's new buildings going up all the time and i don't really see any increase in the sewer system capacity that we so desperately need. so i'm here to reiterate, thanks for the

grant money and hopefully a permanent solution can be found. thanks. >> thank you. no further comments from the public, any further comments? yes. >> i would like to request -- i mean, i have been on this commission for seven years now and i have heard a lot of flooding stories about 17th and folsom. i know there has been work and all kinds of possibilities looked at and i have followed the affordable housing and what has happened within the city family to really take care of that property on the corner? that piece i think is heading in the right direction, but i just have not really heard about what the solutions are, that are going to address these ongoing flooding issues at 17th and folsom. so i would like to request that we have a presentation from the puc on what we can do to solve this problem permanently, and for the long-run? and whether that

is potentially part of the -- related to the storm watered or separate and what it's going to take to resolve this issue? >> i think we need to give you a history of what happened at 17th and folsom it's a low-laying area in san francisco and also, all of the projects that have been approved by the puc over time, have been built in that area and some of the solutions that we're talking about as we move forward in time:the issue on the sewer capacity is not there is an efficient sewer capacity with dry weather, but it's when it rains. the storms are getting more intense with more run-off and frying -- trying to combine our programs to take on that peak flow. so when you say you want the permanent solution, we have lots of ideas and lots of proposals, but we haven't landed anywhere yet. we can present that to you. >> thank you.

any other comments? >> if i could add to commissioner vietor's questions, i would be interested to see what the health repercussions are. i grew up near the river and it would overflow on the sewers as well. it was clean enough that we could swim there it, which i know sounds disgusting, but would i like to know more about the impact of any overflow sewage? if that sits anywhere for a period of time, does it have a health effect only the community? >> we can give you percentages of what we call sanitary overflow and there are some issues, regulations how you can reuse that water and under what conditions? so we have costed that out as well and we can present that as part of the discussion on 17th and folsom. so you understand all of the different facets of what we're trying to solve at this point. >> would you also mind including where the housing and

park project is and the timeline for that build-out? >> we can contact the mayor's office on housing and the department to find out what the timeline is. >> thank you. >> make i have a motion, please ?>>i will make the motion. >> second. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? the motion carries next item, please. >> item 13, approve 2015 updates cw-area community choice aggregation implementation plan and authorize the general manager to file the updated implementation plan with the california public utilities commission for certification. >> good afternoon, commissioners, barbara hale. i have the action item and i have thestants updates on how we're doing with the clean power sf implementation schedule and our key mile stones. sfgovtv, if i could have the overhead screen, please? the laptop? you will notice that in

terms of updates, on june 30th we hads a very successful conversation with many stakeholders discussing our program marketing and communications plan. the communicates staff from the puc presented some ideas and got a lot of good, helpful feedback from the stakeholders who came. we're going continue to have those sorts of stakeholder sessions. we haven't scheduled our next one yet. our focus right now is on getting our requests for offer for supply together. so that we can make our next milestone on the schedule here, that early august activity. today is the day when july 14th, when we will be talking with you about our implementation plan and that is the action item. the other thing that you see as a change here on our implementation schedule and milestones is to roflect the fact that we will be presenting

risk analysis when we come to you in september for approval of the supply contracts that we hope to execute to support the program. commissioner moran, you have mentioned that a number of times and i thought it was worth making a note of when we expect that to happen in the schedule. it could happen before this date. but it won't happen after. we will definitely come to you with a risk analysis prior to asking you to authorize execution of those contracts. >> thank you. >> excuse me, with that risk analysis, would you mind also pulling any data that other ccas, particularly marin might have around the risk analysis work that they have done? >> certainly. >> thank you. >> now we have three operating community choice aggregation implementation plan, marin, sonoma and the city of lancaster and we'll talk to them. we have regular con necticut

tact with them. so the action item is before you seek yours approval to update our community choice aggregation implementation plan filed with the california public utilities commission. that plan, the existence of that plan and your support of it is a required step for all perspectives ccas under the california law that allows community choice aggregation programs to operate in the state. we initially filed our community choice aggregation plan in march of 2010 and received certification from the california puc in may of 2010. so we have been certified since then. we did update that plan last in 2012 to incorporate some privacy -- customer privacy

rule changes that the california puc implemented. and now we're before you with changes to that plan that i will summarize, that reflect the changes that we have discussed on the program design. specifically that the program, the clean power sf program will lead with affordability. that the program will offer two products to launch. default product, that will be up to 50% renewable. with an optional premium product that will be 100% renewable at a price that is competitive with pg&e's green tariff program. the commission adopted not to exceed rates, and rate methodology is described in the new implementation plan and power enterprise staff will take on a larger role is one of the changes and finally, the fact that we have issued a new rfp in may of 2015 to solicit

bids for our program billing and customer care services. so that is a quick summary of the changes that this implementation plan includes as it goes before the california puc, with your approval. the action item itself asks that you approve the plan and the statement of intent and authorize our general manager to file that updated implementation plan with the california puc for certification. the california puc process is by statute is to take 60-90 days. now there were some clean-up and corrections to the implementation plan from the version that was published by the secretary on our website. the corrections affect five pages, which have been distributed to you. and a complete, corrected copy is included in the binder, on the table here for the public. to summarize those corrections

quickly, on page 3, the introduction clarifies that the default or light green product that our clean power sf program will provide includes a greater amount of renewable energy than is currently available from pg&e under its standard product offering. on page 4, we have added a new summary section, highlighting the changes since the last ip, since the last implementation plan, the last changes i reviewed with you. pages 6-7, we added headings to improve the readability of the document and page 28 we clarify that in the unanticipated event of program termination, notice will be provided and the added language is "subject to any applicable restrictions." so that brings you up-to-date on the changes in the implementation plan and the steps that we propose moving

forward with. i would be happy to take any questions as i seek your support for moving forward. thank you. >> does any of this change the timeline? >> no, it does not. >> commissioners, questions? >> just have one question that is somewhat related, that you note about -- if you wouldn't mind addressing that, what the cpuc is doing with electricity rates? >> yes, sorry. i forget to address that question. yes, so you may have been reading in the newspaper recently, the california public utilities commission is making some rated structure changes for residential customers and those are rate changes that affect pg&e's customers. the changes that the cpuc, the
