12:08 am
bank has down and maintain that up in the hetch hetchy reservoir the precipitation front again, we're still ahead of the medium curve for precipitation for this water year that given on october 1st that red line the black line is the medium we actually for the last year left off 1993 that is the blue line we've added it in for a target to shoot for the snow pack has leveled off over the last few weeks but we have seen a fair amount of precipitation in october and november above average a 40 in percent and more expected on thursday locally we'll have a half of inch in december not nearly as much of the upper
12:09 am
country level on this front the precipitation forecast rookies good an anticipation one or two feet of snow in above 7 feet in the sierra and pro tem on the snow front whether it is up country or in the bay area as well both for thursday turning to consumption those are the october results again in the 15 lowest per capital a 13 are them and customers for san francisco again about 41 gallons per person per day a low use and is wholesale and the city customers are doing a great job at conjecturally that was october the total chart shows for thanksgiving week demand was down region wide people didn't
12:10 am
washer their dishes from thanksgiving dinner but matches colonel in the christmas week that last blue front so we may go lower than last year before the late season when you get do winter the irrigation is gone that is indoor use and eventually cutting back on the total system water savings continues to be high one of the things to know about this that the state water board held a workshop talking about the extension of the drought regulations into 9 next year the govern made a declaration a few weeks ago the drought continues to extend them to october there's been a lot of discussion about folks in the inn land a climate jauflt factor for them
12:11 am
and we've indicated in our comments well, if they maintain the goal of 25 percent and reduce there shouldn't be pressure on those folks for low capital to explicit conserve lower we've been working with groups to have redirected impacts of giving someone a break somewhere for that someone doing a good job in early february we go forward that's where we are at i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> commissioners. >> no. >> all right. next item. >> >> so the next is the hetch hetchy cip and at that
12:12 am
point wastewater data at the same time. >> good afternoon, commissioners i just wanted to highlight where the delays or the cost increases were and so for the water and joint projects one project a scheduled detail the lower cherry aqueduct for the permitting approval that took are longer we originally anticipated and we have two projects showing cost increases one is other power house projects additional equipment is being ordered and installed and the other is cherry dam outcomes this was approved without construction funding so the increase is to include construction funding the power projects we have 3 projects that are showing scheduled details one is civic center and the sustainable
12:13 am
program under the efficiency program it is really depending on the other departments main dpw doing their improvements and getting money to do the title 24 and energy efficiency projects with the larger programs and the other two are the meter monitoring both of them are do not selecting a consultant for strategy those are the hetch hetchy capital projects for the wastewater capitalized one project that is detailed by approximately, six most that is oceanside plant handling and coding and the delay is in construction and there is more co-rotation repair than anticipated so that work is being completed right now so why is sustainable civic center they're waiting on
12:14 am
funding you know barb can help me if i'm not mistaken the departments do the work and come to puc for title 24 and have energy efficiency in the building we're not the lead on the projects you. >> so is there a way to giving them encouragement or a letter of something. >> barbara hale assistant general manager our need to collect data about the operations of the building and that in and of itself is an important task for the efficiency measures and that takes time some of the projects taking more time to get the staff support you know the building operators are altitudes very busy and we're coming and knocking on their door to ask them to take on a new task that part of challenge
12:15 am
but we have the contracting capacity and have the ability to provide the support we just need to move it apace that works for our customer. >> so can you please come back with a timeline to get this done with a sense of urgency those have lost budget money but seem to be put on the back burn they're important. >> we can definitely reach out to the other departments that have the facilities but again, it is really challenging when hair operating the building and asking them to get data i mean by just in the nature it is like on the back burner and they're under staffed we're doing everything we can to encourage them. >> come back with a timeline that would be great as well.
12:16 am
>> next item. >> lowest the process report >> good afternoon, commissioners eric sandler assistant general manager of business services today, this stem is the next installment in what has been a series of presentations reviewing the commission policies before the adoption of the new budget a memo and a policy in you're packet and this presentation summarizes some of the highlights we're talking about the rates policy which was established in
12:17 am
february 2012 but essentially was a codification in policy form of a number of rates and charges with respect to state law and the city chapter and best practices since then adopted a 4-year of sewer and water rates with wholesale water rates and a number of action on power rates so the policy the itself is composed of 4 principles the first be affordability relates to the level the stability of roeven harasses with the long term trend compliance with the late regarding state law contractual sufficiency relates to if you cost recovery you recover all the costs of enterprise and transparency relates to how the
12:18 am
commission goes about developing vetting and proposing and adopting the rates here's some the progress related we regularly show you where the typical bell for water and sewer sophomore puc services compares with other local utilities and we regularly present the 10 year rate projection with the 10 year capital plan and made adjustments in the last study taking form some the rates more the clerk will take the roll to cost of service principle and be compliant with them and the great making has involved the transparent process with the oversight by the revenue by the oversight committee and siding and the rate fairness board and
12:19 am
commission you know as we look at the policy as i reviewed it i think one of the things that struck me which is a theme we've talked about for that the last several months is the review availability we've been seeing the impact on all the enterprises as we entered this extended drought we'll recommend the commission rises the policy for this to perhaps enhance the sufficiency principle to identify the need to balance competing policy objectives when looking at rated skyline so the trade off between a conservatism on one hand and revenue 125ib8g9 on the other so to refresh our memory on our retail water revenue is approximately 15 fixed and metric the sewer rates
12:20 am
are 100 percent bio metric so you know as we're dealing with the drought and embarking on a very last year capital improvement plan for the sewer system is it mines to i think we consider our rate structure issues so we recommend that you direct you go us to come back with a policy revision for the consideration and in january we're planning to come and speak but a little bit on the activities with respect to innovation and our wet weather charges i'll be happy to answer any questions about the rate policy or take any direction from the commission. >> first of all, thank you very much i appreciate you're putting this together and as we've been looking for ways to accomplish that i think you're very close to the mark you
12:21 am
appreciate the work you do that i guess one question and then a couple of comments the question one of the things the written policy calls out specifically we follow best practices as far as funding our costs i don't know if you have a quick answer or on opinion about that when i talk about traffics that's one of the areas frequently one of the lows that can shortchange r and r as a question when is you're sense as to how we're doing on this where we're funding appropriate level something we should look at on the budget coming down. >> so i think some of the challenges you know when the
12:22 am
budget that is coming forward has responses to investing in r and r over a 10 year period one of the challenges not only how you invest but how you fund it, it is easy to become addicted to depth and instruction of assets to be reasonably assumed to be rate funding that investment is it so hard to make those transitioned when our facing impacts with respect to increased volumes but i'll suggest it make sense for the commission to consider in its debt policy a consideration of how much it wants to fund it's capital improvement plan with rate funded revenue or debt funded revenue a nice compliment
12:23 am
to an r and r program. >> we video a separate policy as you recall that we're going to do be reviewing or is that - >> that's been reviewed early in the year january or february. >> if there is something like that that is a clarification that would make life and direction easier i would encourage you to come forward and propose a change to deal with that and similar kind of thinking a and you talked about maybe amending this policy to include moving towards rates that more fully capture the rates cost i'm encourage you to come forward as an amendment to consider one thing i noticed that is missing
12:24 am
from here was a statement i know what the commission intent direction has been but not made it into the policy over time we wanted to move hetch hetchy general fund power rates towards market and that's something for some reason we didn't put in the last time i - part of the reason for doing this not only hocking to see how the department is doing with complying with the policy the other thing the test of the policy itself is if there is areas the policy is deficient more guidance or you think that the commission on record is helpful that is part why we review this coming forward with the amendments that will be helpful. >> want to clarify i stated you wanted us to show the general fund departments cost of power comes to the cost of
12:25 am
market are you talking about the cost of delivery or you're referring to power or i want to be clear. >> it would be probable be better if i were clear over time the specific obviously how fast that happens it has ripple effects over time we migrate to the energy efficient resolution. >> i think the goal was 0 the cost of actual delivery verse the cost of market so for example, from the cost us $0.10 per kilowatt for 13 we need to
12:26 am
show some benefit providing a power. >> i wanted to - >> i was getting greedy again. >> perhaps you're right that reflects what the commission. >> as well just to let you know we're in the process of working on a cost of service study for the power enterprise so we will have a really good 10 east sense of cost of services and other rates and how much will our full costs of service might be. >> and it maybe appropriate to have some statement to the effect i'll hate to get into a position to charge the rates just to cover the cost we may want to a parallel statement that says the objective to manage the enterprise such the costs are less than. >> you want something the
12:27 am
efficiency principle raedz addresses that would you want a specific element in the policy with respect to the power rates or - >> i mean, i think my sense is yes and certainly when you come forward we'll have a discussion of greater depth but my sense that is something that effects so 34 people and because of the departure from past practice we've moved in that disconnection it is important to have its own medication you can point to and talk about to people. >> okay terrific. >> this question around the cost of service is relevant to all 3 enterprises e enterprises it is hard to separate from the debt policy when you come forward with our recommendation on a fixed rate it should
12:28 am
reference or refresher our minds on the debt policy piece it the r and r question which could fall under the what the could have of services does it fall under it seems to me that would so nuance in there i think we want to try and capture the high-level of policy in order to set the policies needs a better understanding. >> we have a great opportunity to revisit in a comprehensive way you know our debt service ratio and capital improvement plan and r and r policy. >> our hetch hetchy and rates and charges. >> so figure out when we can undertake that but a helpful education process. >> i think that is a good idea as we enter into budget time
12:29 am
needs to make decisions so somewhere in there to do an education i don't want to lose site of the stormwater. >> that will be part of it we're bringing that in january for an update. >> yeah. i think we are hopeful that by the time we introduce the new i guess rate structure we will have all that ironed out but bringing it up more and more we've already looking at what the impacts would be if we were to do a wastewater fee for example, we've been go talking with the mayor's office of the bureaucratic budget with the general fund increases over time so we've been you know talking about that as well so but, yeah
12:30 am
i think we definitely like to talk about it for about the wastewater it takes a little bit of time to do the study get information we're hoping that when - >> we have a significant amount of work in the off year next fiscal year implementing our executing the cost of service study for wastewater we're doing one for power i think we have the probably the ban width for the commission to look at the enter play between those policies. >> maybe give you a schedule of activities to lead up to when we present to you a full picture of what the rate structure would be moving forward including the wastewater san francisco entertainment commission fee and decide how much fixed cost for wastewater and water so we can
12:31 am
probably do a timeline. >> we'll put together a rough speakers shall address their comments to the commission as a whole and neither the police commission nor the over the next you know two years what we hope to cover when. >> a policy question i feel we'll need some of that information in order to be able to amend the policy i imagine. >> yeah. >> thank you very much any other questions or comments? anything else on the general manager report >> that concludes my report. >> next speaker, please. >> oh, public comment on the general manager report? >> hearing next item, please. >> item 582015-2016 financial audit report. >> r6 /* r67 2015-2016 audit

12:38 am
accounts and transactions to require the adjusted and estimate the reason those are higher inherit because of the significance in the financial statement and because of the possibility of future events effecting them this defer from managements current judgment we've listed the significant accounts and in our process we review the method or estimate and determine the reasonableness of the assumptions of the data used audit adjustment exist to should the difference in the accounting literature foyer what management has recorded we have one cricket audit adjustment applicable to all the puc enterprise funds this is a reclassification judgment one the cash flow
12:39 am
statement of which none were included in the skwiegs of the accounting statement therefore we proposed and management adjusted and corrected the cash flow of non-operating expenses from operating activities down below to non-capital and related financial activities this was 12.9 for water and warranted and 7 millions for hetch hetchy once again only a reclassification adjustment on the cash flow statements next, we did have an uncorrected judgment related to hetch hetchy and this was related to a deviation of a general accounting principle we call a non-gap policy of which management has the policy if totaled to less than $2 million the extraordinary items
12:40 am
subsequent to the initial year will be recorded as other operating or non-operating expenses rather than below the line in extraordinary items if so once again a reclassification on or about on the income statement related to the rim fire and had a net amount of $1.4 million wrap up her we have no disagreements or difficulties with management the accounting and finance department are great and our audit request they make the audit a priority and the enterprises have knowledgeable folks that provide skwiegsz promptly to us management didn't consult with other dependent consultant not to agreeing with our analysis or interpretation of literature

12:43 am
the individual targets as you can see from the slides the green bars are the targets given to each agency by the state board and you blue h the blue to date as you can see for the vast majority of agencies exceeding is it amount the 15 bar represents the waited afternoon for all the bosco agencies target assigned to them they're at the 29 percent well above their the fact of the matter we're not see the savings in the summer but all the agency are shaped up. >> can you go back didn't quite understand it was counterintuitive active. >> the green bars are what was assigned to each agency by the
12:44 am
state board into the october from june to october. >> i see the blowing blue how they've exceeded the conservatism standards. >> that's good but the solid green line bar 15 percent is accumulative of what they're doing taking away at look at it with the powers to date on the total 9 month target each agencies listens those the vertical act assess and converted to percentages for the totals 9 months 19 of the agencies have achieved that the fact of the matter a couple of as that have compliments for moderate you'll not see the summer swing but all
12:45 am
exceptions they'll make that accumulative for all agencies the total target what over 10 billion gallons we've exceeded it go close to 12 one half billion some are what the state board is looking at this will benefit the wholesale customers so you know we're all hoping and wishing for the best but the drought from the drought continues we'll continue to assume more work is needed with the landscape ordinance needs to be updated bosco has put together an ordinance that is more appropriate for the service area that is something they did in 2010 it is something the agencies can adopt on their own or the bosco
12:46 am
ordinance the ordinance is provided to the valley water districts customers that are interested in the same level of customized ordinance the reneutral drought campaign our thought at this point shifts gears our agencies in the city retail customers have obviously done a great job and continue to ask them to continue their ways. >> finally mr. richie said we've been in communication with steve and his staff on this we appreciate that the agencies and other parts of state are maybe in different situations but whatever is proposed really shouldn't be born on the backs of the retail customers as well as the bosco agencies

utilities commission and power entrepreneurs the cleanpowersf system within san francisco and item 21 the approval the line of credit and associated agreement with j.p. morgan chase notifying 40 millions for the cleanpowersf and authorize the general manager to execute the line of credit. >> so commissioners just wanted to take this opportunity to try to remind you where we are today at the last meeting we reviewed the business plan for cca today, we'll make a presentation and discuss some of the acts that are before you the intent of the program is to launch the program by march 2016 we put a aggressive schedule and all hands on deck to meet that schedule and their intent to
1:01 am
meet the march 2016 the truth of the matter we've identified but provided that where we analyzed the program to demonstrated to operate the program while charging the rates that are equal or less than penguin that is the affordability we've leading with the affordability and cannot you know deliver the program equal or less than penguin we will have the policy come back to you so milestones that are upcoming i want to make sure you're aware of and barbara will talk about that one we talked about last time was that pg&e recently put forward their pc i a their power charge and adjustment which is pretty sure the exit fee if you no longer choose to be receiving the power
1:02 am
from pg&e or go to the cca that actually charge a fee they went to the california puc and they have something that item before the california puc which they would like to increase by 94 percent increase that has we talked about last time the way we're offering our product we're making sure that our customers total bill is equal then it was if they were in pg&e customer which means our jurisdictions has to be low enough to absorb it by increasing the pc i a we're actually having to put a lower generation that means we have to feed into our margin that is why
1:03 am
one of the items on here is a really resolution urging the california puc to reject pg&es proposal to increase the fee it impacts the program that is the one thing out there and the other thing we want you to adopt the business practice policies so it really helps the guide the implementation and ongoing operations and approve the schedule raised and charges for phase one of the program and then also the stand by letter credit that supports our supplies with the program and so barb will spend time walk you through the changes in the program and then have discussion on what you want to see as we
1:04 am
move forward. >> thank you general manager kelly barbara hale assistant general manager for power another big milestones for cleanpowersf we've produced the final draft copies for the public you've received copies as well i'll do as the general manager said walk you through the new information since we've presented on november 10th specifically associated with additional working capital refresh the supply pricing and the pg&e revised exit fee the general manager mentioned we'll also look at what that means to our program projections our final projections how we you to adjust the policies in the advisory committee of the new information and give you a contract workshop with the milestones of the calendar for launch so first up the goals the program that is something that
1:05 am
has not changed sticking with the program goals and the overall program design it is fundamental to launching the program so those things have not yielded changed had a has changed new information we've present to you on november 10th on november 13th the california puc administrator law judge overseeing it issued a proposed decision agreeing with pg&e exit fee we're expecting according to the california puc schedule a decision on this item on december 17th we have also worked with the board of supervisors to have a resolution for the record where the board about urge certain acts the pg&e and the action before you today item 18 that
1:06 am
would have you urging the c p to denouncement alternative proposals that help to mitigate the rate impacts on customers of pg&e proposal and to express support that the california puc re-examine how to calculates and how it supplies to pg&e customers that's a quick summary of action we're looking for we're also the other piece new information an inclusion of the $4 million in working capital loans and we have since november 10th received a supply refresh from the supplier companies we're working with and negotiating with and that reduces our projected costs for supply for the program and
1:07 am
that's at 70 percent of the program costs of supplies that is an important refresh for us. >> can you - i think there is a lot of information especially new information i'm wondering too pause for a minute i have a question. >> sure. >> i'll be happy to to take you're questions. >> so this december 17th decision is pretty important i know that our love our state literatures are they engaged as echoing it this feels like a moment to be able to see what can happen on this important decision auto and alice may speak more but engaged with our sacramento legislators and lobbyists and working with them we are proposing various letters
1:08 am
send work with the other cca associations trying to make sure that we have a very engaged voice at the california puc myself and some of the puc san francisco puc staff a calendared to meet with the couple of the advisors for the commissioners there to make sure we have a facing face to face meeting what the impacts on our program and cca generally. >> great. >> that is important and then on the second item what's the $4 million additional capital loan for . >> that of the working capital in order to support the launch the program we had the hetch hetchy loan was set at $4 million we requested an additional $4 million to give ourselves for the launch room it turns out quite important to us
1:09 am
now that the program has taken this the hit on the financial projections from the pg&e action took you'll see that explained in the next slide. >> okay. great. >> anything else. >> i have a question i want to understand more thoroughly about the exit fee. >> uh-huh. >> i'm assuming and maybe the correct me if i am wrong assumption the people cut to the chase i'm assuming it is the fact that very purchased the power now that power will not be used that's the fee they put on the personal loan is if - >> sort of the power may - pg&e has made a commitment either because they own generation or they've purchased generation assuming that a certain amount of customer if a
1:10 am
customer leaves the california puc said you can charge their customers their share of the power you'll have to pay forest they left. >> holy ghost how long does it last. >> it is bureaucratic and archiveic there is in expiration date under the current puc date in calculating the exit fee that is part of the reason we want them to re-examine how they calculate it. >> that's not right i mean a contract can't be that long. >> correct and if you know prudent utility management required or requires that long and mid and short time candidates they should be forecasted to match and departure of you're customer
1:11 am
base pg&e is getting that wrong if we continue to pay exit fees they're not forecasting the low departure appropriately so they're not doing their jobs right or the reshths have set up a methodologies that didn't loot the costs one of the two things is happening we want the puc to investigate that is before you in item 18. >> another question on previous question so in a sense it is like three hundred plates and chair mar the guests not showing up but pg&e can turn around and sell. >> we should only have to pay in pg&e is going suffering a loss. >> right. >> which is why this
1:12 am
conversation engaged with the regulators and the legislators is very important because it didn't sync up. >> right and depending on how things workout on the 17 we may find ourselves back talking about what sort of legislative activity we should be pursuing we need this to fix an improvement on this for the programs ongoing success. >> you know to that point and maybe come back to this after the presentation you sort of applied saying the program design is not changing but you know the faensz approach in the neighborhood we've selected not asset on affordability and so it might are implementations for program design. >> like i said we're leading with affordability so if i can't
1:13 am
offer and setting price or cheaper i'll pause unless you're direct me to offer more expensive programs to me you know if we can't meet or beat pg&e we need to think about it right now we feel we can we are you know planning we're go over some of the things we'll do to try to mitigate if something were to happen next year that will challenge that you know we do have some levers we can pull but the intent of the program is to leave with affordability to i don't want to say that we're going to make it more comprehensive. >> i'm suggesting that but suggesting something in the program skwien that is not about pausing but looking at you know a different place to launch or a phased approach or inclination
1:14 am
or combination of activities maybe affordability. >> we'll go over it you know i don't want to steal her thunders we're looking at whatever you know areas of how we're launch to minimize that effect. >> great but all of those things are talking about the overall financial projections and the slide you see here shows the same slide we shouted on november 10th able to fund the reserves with the operating and the contingency stabilization reserve those are circled in red at the bottom the 3 new pieces of information that field into those 3 items 1, 2, 3 with the green arrows let's
1:15 am
talk about each of those number one that's the exit fee impact it reduces our electricity sales revenues by $88.4 million over the first 5 years and our capital improvement plan sorry you're working capital loan increases by $4 million that is number 2 and then the third item to our advantage is the lower supply costs associated with the supplier price refresh we got so the pc i reduces the projected revenues by $8.4 million this is advocating the california puc to revisit how it is calculated item 18 that the number one is our largest impact and it is one of the sensitivities that we
1:16 am
evaluated a price change and so we also modified our sensitivities analysis from november 10th i'll talk about that just a minute the fact when you look at the bottom you only see one number circled that's our new financial observed to fund our reserves but no longer agriculture to have the stabilization reserve within the target this is an important change to note the kind of action that pg&e took with the change in that rate element as i say the kind of action we performed a sensitivity analysis the reserve was to help us weather our way through changes
1:17 am
like that without a reserve no longer have a cushion to weather on effect like that this is the importance have lost the rate stability reserve those are projections they assume that pg&e request is grant by the california puc and whole so it sort of the 1:30 i don't want to sound like i'm running on the brake but part of the exercise to test our program design and method of deploying stuff like that so holed up to the goals the financial stability of the program. >> oh, i see i didn't quite go through all the animations there but there's all the numbers now
1:18 am
so i mentioned the sensitivity analysis it is sensitivity analysis that was presented on the 10 it was conducted on the key risks of the pg&e regulatory hidden valley high school the left pg&e changes and the revised sensitivities using the new information so basically, if the cu puc adapts it the program realize the risk and then prior to launch and as i mentioned without the ability to use you know were this to occur we won't have the cushion the rate go stabilization to weather through this is a thin margin business as we've talked about tonsillitis tenth we are that projecting an 8 percent margin and now what we are
1:19 am
looking 6.5 our small margin you know it has become smaller i want to emphasize that all the business plan and risk assessment materials are based on reasonable assumptions some key assumptions will become more clear and settled after january 1st importantly the pg&e generations and exit fee will be gotten e known and the electrical supply costs known and meanwhile we'll have to continue to plan and prepare and to address this new information we're making proposals to change proposed changes to our adopted best practices so on the tenth we had proposed the general manager having some rate go flexibility within the year
1:20 am
we're removing that wear i i think we're aware that the process the rate making process can be accelerated, the instead of this form of flexibility you'll see in the rate setting item 20 on today's agenda there is a administrative authority to adjust the rates based on the c pi we're replying that and recommending a change on november 10th recommend a 0.5 rate now a 0.25 to demonstrate our rates are lower but to provide some small amount of additional revenue and then the larger what more impactful change is the change to the
1:21 am
reserve policy to allow the contingency and rate stabilization reserve to be funded at a slower pace that will allow us to continue forward with the program but again without that cushion i'll refer to as that cushion now, when we get to january and the general manager is faced with looking at what are our costs can we set our rates at are below pg&e rates and recover ore operating reserve when we're at that moment if it looks like we are going to need to pause we can we can look at pulling some of the levers we have we have talked about the ability to modify the customer mix of it
1:22 am
have more commercial customers in the earliest part of program than planned that brings in addition revenue and be able to look at the enrollment area you know we're looking at citywide; right? for our initial enrollment and looking at we had initially proposed automatic enrollment ignore part of city and moving on to the central part of city and have more of a mixed of central san francisco than previously recommended we might want to look at not offering automatic enrollment to customers in the low income care program from the commissions is concerned about the affordability and if we're lose that battle once we see what the commission across the street
1:23 am
does at the california level you know we might want to make some of those changes to help to buffer the program some also. >> we pay hetch hetchy. >> yes. >> and then always the possibility we could repay the hetch hetchy loan at a slower pace than modeled that internal revenue service us to go back to the board of supervisors to take action the board sets the schedule for repayment. >> so that's the quick overview on the plan changes i'm ready to move into the contract negotiation if you're ready. >> may i have find it not surprising but egregious to pull this stunt i'll call that that go using the word pause makes
1:24 am
everyone a little bit tense whatever we support this and to you're point earlier the cu puc how those charges are calculated and what are you going to do with that money this is the tricks to detail but by the pg&e move is disconcerting i'll say that through the chair. >> commission. >> a couple off points within the business plan and practices i'll tell you. >> i'll give a contract update and the milestones schedule but, yes. >> 3 things i want to talk about and if so it more appropriate to wait a few minutes let me know one is that in the rip between cca and hetch
1:25 am
hetchy we have tried to maintain this as separate operations as soon as possible a couple of areas that line gets crossed one is the loan for the working capital and the presumption there from the fireman succeeds that loan will be repaid so it is a loan as opposed to a gift the larger area hetch hetchy is the credit for the letter of credit that basically back stops the power purchase contracts if we fail to enroll people we're in a position to have costs but no revenue the letter of credit stands behind that and makes the power providers whole the cost of the letter of credit the annual cost is built into the cca program as i understand.
1:26 am
>> - to the full stent the letter of credit $40.01 of the things i asked the few minutes ago folks to basically do a stress test given the 10 year plan what were the impact of that date and i think it would be important for finance staff to present the results of that and the other two things in terms of one is long-term and one short term the short term issue we have talked about making go solar an over and over are cca and i was a and other hetch hetchy customers the redevelopment areas that is not in here it is something that as we contemplate the marketing the program any grove we can have
1:27 am
makes the program for interesting to folks that are not aren't - you can keep an eye on the dollars i felt strongly if i don't see the utility purpose of us funding a program for other people's customers so that is the one and the second one is the criteria for scaling beyond the rollout the 50 millions and now going to the next increment what is the thought process in under the criteria for saying yes, we're ready what's is definition of success that says we have met the criteria the letters are funded whatever else the customer base. >> i think that is the key is the operating reserves are funded.
1:28 am
>> okay. >> as you look at the phasing plan as it is laid out in the business plan that's the threshold that had to think be met before the next set of customers could be brought on. >> part of the rebate that is important as you go to the next phase that which you have reserves and the demands for reserves gets bigger. >> you're immediately out of guidance as soon as you bring on the new customers. >> you need to think that through having the level of reserve enough what is the way to think about that and the letter of credits how we're dealing with the back letters of credit dpaing with an expanded letter of concreting credit or some other thinking that needs to go into that in your presentation the material provides to the commission and in the business plan a section that talks about scaling or the
1:29 am
phasing policy and i think that is a good start i think that could be more explicit that is something i'll ask we do as a we go forward the short time the products that included go solar and little letter of credit exercises. >> so maybe i'll talk about the go solar we had an opportunity to talk about that the mayor feels that go solar is a program he's persuade proud of it creates a lot of jobs and is for everyone to have a conversation which we talked about of having go solar really tie into our customers i think with her talking about that we were talking about the power enterprise customers and so at
1:30 am
this time we thought cca would be part of power customers that make sense but given the fact a separate enterprise you you know we talked about it like you know if you are making the go solar that is funded by hetch hetchy executive for cca you're loaning money for go solar the fact that cca should find its own solar program it gets complicated the other thing i want to put that out there if we're going to do the phase one only a subset of folks that will be offered go solar because we have not yielded rolled it out to the city probable a longer conversation how we should think about it but something i totally
1:31 am
agree we should offer something especially, if we are doing go solar to the pg&e customers he totally get that and we need to think about you know how do we use the go solar from hetch hetchy and apply to cca because they're not the same enterprise i don't know if you understand autopsy the different enterprise argument i'll have more sympathy with hetch hetchy the fact that those things cross and hetch hetchy has skin in the game as well. >> i see. >> i do. >> and yeah. my main concern i want to make this a product that people want to buy and joking with one of you earlier that in mire household the ulcer
1:32 am
asterisk argument will sell my wife she's there because it's the right thing to do how did does it pencil out if there is a program in there that gives a financial benefit for participating in the program then you've got both part of my household that works i think that is important more than a consideration in the city it is important we have that kind of especially, when penguin by every action they're making it harder to be a solar customer that's one way to differentiate ourselves from pg&e they're the people that want to make that harder and we're the people that want to make that easier who do you want to belong to you
1:33 am
recognize the problems you've expressed i would very much encourage and not sure love to put it in the resolution here somehow that the go solar program be focused on hetch hetchy customers inclusive if that mathematics the go solar the clean power program great the more people the marketing the better and make that an economic interest to have the program succeed as well i'm looking for what the trigger to pull on that and obviously the rest of the commission. >> the go solar for hetch hetchy or cca customers. >> well, i'll say for hetch hetchy it is a hetch hetchy program if you are a customer of ours in hunters point or
1:34 am
treasure island treasure island might be tricky but if you're a customer of ours have the program and pg&e you might want to think about becoming a customer of ours. >> which means the cca customer. >> right. >> if you can comment on the fact we're only doing a small part of the city for a couple of years. >> i don't know that work outs i recognize that is an issue if the solution no longer exclusive but have something exclusive. >> i want to put that out there if we were to incentivize if you're a cca customer that we make solar for affordable if you were a pg&e customer would that
1:35 am
will something you may wanted to look at? >> isn't that the idea. >> i mean. >> you're saying i think you careful crafted that language to the distinction i'm not sure what it is (laughter). >> if it is clear as i contemplate putting solar panels will i be better as a cracking customer service customer then i'm interested. >> what i'm saying so we're all clear our saying if you are a pg&e customer go solar doesn't apply and cca it applies i'm saying if you go solar it prices but cca you get a bigger contribution to advise you that way so i'm saying to make it go away for the entire city.
1:36 am
>> i'm listen to anything but not in the position if i can stay with pg&e and get a similar benefit then i think what it is salt in the wound no reason to provide that benefit to people that are our customers not consistent with our utility customers. >> so eric do you want to - >> i think commissioner courtney you want to hold off. >> i think the tone the last 20 minutes is absent down we kind of anticipated most of that stuff we knew we were going to have turbulence and more. >> yes. >> okay. >> so no - >> no more tush lens then we got out the door. >> just to be clear.
1:37 am
>> i appreciate that i think we have known it was going to be turbulence and keep our eyes open and not leaving opportunities for unturned in possible and so let's finish the presentation and then come up with - >> to answer you're question about the letter of credit commission kwh when eric comes up to present we'll have the backstop anothers financial consequences. >> looking at the contract negotiations we are continuing to negotiate with our pool we're making good progress you see on the screen here the full pool is represented by the logos are good options for folks in
1:38 am
active and the blue circles active negotiation with and have outstanding issues with those pools of suppliers credit and collateral requirements that the contractor supplies us with we provide them rather as one of the issues the bids option one folks we're righting the details how to do scheduling and requirements and have city contract language that is troubling for example, the controllers certification of funds for the bid option two folks those are the specified solar and wind projects they're the outstanding issues are you know performance assurance i know we have some construction still under law will they be able to deliver on the date we
1:39 am
need them and the credit and collateral issues assuming we resolve the issues krabts will be ready for execution by december 18th that starts to get us into the milestone schedule let me flip to that. >> the boards action on the contract will be complete by tomorrow hopefully then the mayor has a 10 days to address the legislation or not so between the 18 and 28 the general manager will be able to execute the general contract and move to the first of the year where we'll learn what pg&e 2016 will be both the pc i a and the rate itself and get our
1:40 am
suppliers best and final offers will come 70 percent of cost really matters what those folks tells you they'll sell the power to us for assuming the commission adopts 18, 1 and 20 we'll move through the milestones and launch the program specifically staff will test the program against the new pg&e rates into jen and p cia from the costs including the operating reserves within 3 years of launch can be recovered from program rates that are 0.25 blow pg&e rates the gm will go execute the confirmation and initiate the process for program launch we'll come back and report what happens on the 12
1:41 am
you're first commission meeting in january so you know we've been talking about those unknowns that will suddenly become known i think i want to emphasize that is this furthermore off-ramp we have the off-ramps that is you know money tests and seeing if we can where i know the program in under pg&e rates and recovery the funding operating reserves make that target under those items before you the general manager will have the authority to begin the launch with that, now have the business plan risk assessment update and overview i'll be happy to answer any questions or morph ton moving on on to hearing the motion for 18 and 19 are ready
1:42 am
for you 20 is not so do you want to hear 20 before - >> vote on 18 and 19 fwls no. >> i think he wants to - yeah. yeah. >> 20 and do a presentation 20 on 20. >> let's have the slides please i have two pregnancy for you financier relates to the public hearing regarding not to exceed
1:43 am
for the clean power program i'm holy this sheds lights on the p cia discussion we've been having so on the agenda for this presentation i want to give you a little bit of background to talk about the rated methodologies and you've approved in may talk about cleanpowersf rates and is requested actions of this particular item that are to approve the initial rates and second to offer an adjustment based on january pg&e rates and the administrative adjustment by the general manager and to approve the methods for future annual rates that pg&e barbara hale talked about but before we get into the nitty-gritty details i thought to step back and look at the
1:44 am
methodologies that general manager kelly a methodology and basic structure you adopted in may, may 12th is basically says that you start with the pg&e generation rate and make a couple of deductions one through the price excessiveness reduction of half percent which is an item i think that hal talked about it to lore to a quarter of a percent and the pass through charges the p cia the power charge and the surcharge to calculate the pg&e power rates so essentially we need to offer a discount equal to have rate parities with the
1:45 am
pg&e so we have some kind of - the next two slides provide a little bit of numbers behind the discussion we're having those numbers relate to the pg&e current rates not weren't to projected january 2016 rates this first slide is a summary of the current pg&e residential service rate and as you can see it is broke down into two components the generation rate and then a rate that represents a lot of things contribution and distribution a number of adjustments and credits and the generate rate for this classify of customer is 9 point 75 cents all the other rates are $0.05 a total of $0.15 just under $0.15
1:46 am
kilowatt hours as a percentage 9 total rates as you can see the general rate is 2/3rd's of the generate and all the other stuff but what we're talking about is the jen rate the basis for the rate so, now less looking at the pass through charges. >> wait so can you go back one slide to understand - so that i know you're about to unpack the other rights the t n d stays the same. >> the same as we developing generations we start with the pg&e generate. >> and the t n d.
1:47 am
>> the same on everybody's bill. >> how much is the 5.1. >> it is all. >> all of it okay. so your next slide you'll go to you thought turn up going to do go to the other. >> this is not unpacking the other it is slightly confusing sorry about that now we're talking about the non-restricted bypassable charges the pass through that are only las vegas i didn't do on pg&e the franchisee fee. >> in addition. >> yeah. this is how we develop the discount to offer our customers for price disparity this is the existing numbers for p cia and the franchisee fees for you know residential service e-1 and as you can see the p.i. p
1:48 am
cia is point one .6 and the other is under of .78 percent pass through charges are 1, 2, 3, 4 chents that is equal to the generate so we have to offer a discount of .2.5 to be below pg&e this is the existing p cia now the permanent ma on november 10th was based on projections of an increase in the p cia of 70 percent we were looking at instead of one .6, one .98 an increase of 70 percent and we thought that was the e vaunt
1:49 am
now if we're not successful the by cia they're talking about for this class of services 2 point 32 cents an increase of just under 100 percent so, now the discount is looking more like 24 percent as you can see how this regulatory maneuvering has such an impact on our margin it is dramatic and see what pg&e put together eroded the preservation recur with one regulatory mirror this is inside bans the p.i. p cia is by customer and vantage so people that opt out have a difference by cia they have
1:50 am
different vantage so each customer has a different p cia potentially any questions about the methodologies? >> do you understand that. >> kind of understand that i just you know the notion that the p cia is variable is harder get our heads around. >> it is an impact to margin historically not changed this much over time a penny and penny and penny. >> are there certain clarification like commercial for example, not this great of an impact. >> you can look at the exhibit to the item it has the p kay for every customer class and type i
1:51 am
don't know the answer to that. >> i'm going to plan b i don't know the pause notion i like the plan b option in indeed an exit you know if this went through you can an variable a certain class it make sense because of the customer type of. >> i think; right? >> i don't have an answer to that maybe hale has that or certainly we can come back. >> if that's an option we need to come back to that i don't know if we need an answer. >> we'll verify i think they're all impacted some more than other but i think that is large overall and just kind of
1:52 am
varies per customer look at which one will be you know best suited for us to move forward as we really it out that's why we want to kind of see in the 17 is when the california puc would make their recommendations but it will be a while in john a. >> january you see the actual rates they will actually see the rates which we will see the rates from pg&e based on the california puc decisions go in december. >> i'm curious to know what justification pg&e has for doubling the effect of this rate. >> what justification. >> it's call cca. >> barbara hale manager for power the way the p cia methodology works as market
1:53 am
wholly market for electrical go down pg&e what they've committed to purchase for their customers is more out of market could be higher than p than the market price the p cia will capture that price when we see the prices go down we expect the pg&e to allow to go up. >> now that assumes that penguin takes no mitigation action to keep the cost of competitive you know we know that contracts are struck that have out clauses that allow parties to walk away has pg&e exercised they're built to walk away at every opportunity we're not allowed to see those contracts the puc puts those contracts under seal we can't
1:54 am
check how the p cia is calculated we can't see the underlying contracts but the general idea market prices go down and pg&e is out of market above the market cost if this difference in priced between portfolio the p cia will cover the cellist rates costs are sharing the costs among fewer and fewer folks leave as they join programs like ours. >> quite and deal. >> a monopoly. >> so any other questions about the methodology. >> let's turn now to cleanpowersf rate action so various entities can we have
1:55 am
the slides please a bit of rate relayed activity over the past year on april 17th reviews the methodologies without the discount with the rate fairness board they deemed it fair and held a public hearing on live cleanpowersf rates with no additional discounts you authorized the gm to justify initial rates on the pg&e and established the future adjustments motion assisting you requested to review the exterminates cost prior to the opt out process that's what we are doing right now. >> of course setting clean power rates and charges abides by the policies and procedures
1:56 am
we conform with in setting our other charges first and foremost with the rate policy we've discussed earlier today which establishes privileges of transparency and we'd follow the standard procedures for rates setting contained in the charter and state law and also as with our existing retails rates a provision for an administrative adjustment annually to adjust the p cia if not sufficient then a more rate setting process. >> so here is the performer a they've provided an update of the performer that we presented on november 10th so just to reiterate it contains the new
1:57 am
