consider something in early february another thing that is one of those technical things that a lot of people don't pay attention that is critical is draft regulations for water diversion and reporting sb 88 directed the state broad to adopt the regulations for murray and monitoring the metering so the draft regulations require the reporting for 10 acre feet or more per year it is a small number and more frequent reporting and diverting the water hourly it is not very meaningful time step daily we do for the - even that is subject to in the years more frequent reporting is more data point but

not more information i'd like to make sure the data for the data for the storage by january 2020 and the hope that realtime data is responsible to the state water for example, we'll have their decision that is better that is not necessarily a straight line connection by any means and the resources we're looking at the draft regulations colonel and they're considered for adoption on january 17th by the board and last but not least state legislation senator hill has a bill in print that mandate the water supply-side for excess eye that may not mean much to us with a short supply and senator hurt beggar mandated a bill that

wastewater by three 6 that the wastewater will not go to the sea there is lots of challenges and the total eliminates is a high bar to get to we can go that direction when we get there and another hot topic again accessibility water daylight lots of talk about the data available would be better and direct reuse regulations should be coming up from the state board and the water consolidation it shouldn't effect us but on the legislative front a lot of people are talking about doing drought related stuff so a lot of activity and we'll prepare the staff and the lobbyists will be watching closely i'll be happy

to answer any questions you may have. >> comments and questions thank you mr. richie. >> on the general manager report. >> the next is the long term financial stability eric. >> thank you, commissioners eric sandler business manager for services and the cfo this presentation is the presentation that i gave at last meeting related to the rates we had quite a bit of conversation about the activities coming up in the next 2 and a half years so this presentation i mean is addressing what i want to do is talk about and provide a framework being financial rates

and charges and really frame it in terms of long term financial responsibility i want to talk about the work plan for the financial planning and talk about one of the items we're working on with respect to stormwater run offs so this year the mayor issued convicted the department to update their strategy planning the general manager is identifying a world map for the agency and the staff is working to update the strategic plan one of the items a long term financial stability this agency how we framed it and with the puc by planning for long term funding and managing the rates and affordability supporting that goal are 4 go subordinate

taufblz i'm talking about the 20/20 today, the first is long-range financial planning and the next is planning i want to share what sort of work we have planned for the next 2 and a half years with respect to long-range financial planning a foundation that that is by the city charter we regularly update our 10 year capital improvement plan and financial plan what i think we want to do in the next couple of years to really look at the functional water sales for example, and re-evaluate and develop things that drive the long-range charges one of the most things that is interesting we don't have a financial capital strategy how much debt

financial debt so you or should you do we've take advantage of the mortgage rates in the last 10 years and invested heavily in the system and as some of our activity turns toward r and r in construction we may want to consider a higher level of cash funding we're or worthy of discussion at the commission level and it is helpful to revisit our debt coverage and perhaps frame it in for detail regarding the policy now on to the rate and charge activity in addition to update our regular 4 year cost of service in anticipation of the rate passage in the fiscal year we're in the process of engaging a consultant to conduct our cost

of service and rate study some of the issues that will be highlighted in addition to the rate setting some of the issues we've talked about at the last meeting what are the strategies to mitigate not find ourselves in the middle again in the middle of a 4-year rate package we want to look at robust affordability model we do some standards in the industry about looking affordability but not talking about the practices i want to engage in framing the affordability issue and finally one of the tactic the primary

tactic topic if the development of a stormwater run off charge as you may know we have a combined sewer system it treats sanitary flow the stormwater costs represent 20 percent of the wastewater enterprise costs from operations cost of treating stormwater to up sizings the clorox system in order to treat. >> what's that number do you know how much what is 20 percent. >> 20 percent of wastewater budget is. >> i'll get it. >> thanks. >> currently, we recover those costs through a surcharge that is based on water use the more water you use the larger our conservatism towards the costs

not the greatest relationship two the cost recovery in 2014 the cost of service studies identified implementing the stormwater run off charge and i will highlight this is not restore not talking about new revenue by a way to recover the revenue part of it. >> so one way of illustrating this is how we currently recover costs and how this w a stormwater run off from left to right we'll walk through how we charge with the existing sewer service and stormwater we make the meter water use and estimate

the sewage to the sanitation so we take that and multiple by a sewer rate to the strength of the discharge if you're food processer is higher strength than domestic is it your rate is a hire you multiple the estimated discharge by the rate and get twastewater bill on the right this slide and 100 percent is volume metric and that's on the right so what would it look like with a stormwater cherish i'll collect 80 percent the revenue from the way we currently do it is just the remaining 20 percent is recovered from the strrmentd charge bans the rate the driver

so for example, rather than use the water use you'll look at the property characteristics to estimate the stormwater run off and multiple it by the rate and get the charge that's a fixed amount every month so that's how it w the just stormwater run off one of the exciting things you can design an incentive to make people make improvements and change the property so there is less stormwater run off and retention by and large or removing the surface area in order to reduce the bill incentivizes stormwater reductions that's one of the exciting things about this approach so why would we develop a charge

we'll summarize it better aligns the cost of revenue and incentivizes better stormwater management and in order to work to communicate a better system not just treat sanitary waste that will think adherent with the charges and finally it provide a revenue source so i wanted to share a little bit about the work to date our team has done this comprehensive outreach to the leading utilities implementing temple across the country and california we had a lot of interesting lessons learned in those discussions so of those learningings were careful outreach the simple lift thing

and really look at how you're going to structure the charge and make it simple and recommendation is in the perfect surface not more complicated than that we've done a gi s analysis to estimate the surface area and contribution to the stormwater and cleaned up the mapping addresses a what's gi s. >> graphic information system sorry. >> sorry about that some of the work with the consultant is looking at the alternatives and looking at how we can structure incentive and grant programs we need to have a clear implementation plan and a

realistic budget implement a nontrivial change how we charge and how we communicate with customers and how we operate customer service so just to give a sense of next steps we issue an rfp and at the end of this month actually, well in advance where we do it because of all the work involved in developing a stormwater run off charge we'll be conducting stakeholder outreach and hope to get the consulate on board in the spring and returning refinery to the commission commissions with further information about charges be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioner vice president moran. >> thank you. >> a couple of questions on the consultants you're bringing

in as far as exploring issues before the contract or asking the contractors. >> we're asking the contractors. >> so from the commission collectively or individuals on the commission said to the be part of that discussion when is the appropriate time to do that. >> let me think about exactly how we will structure that from the process. >> okay i think there are some financial policy issues and public policy issues that certainly how you or whether you choose to finance a lifeline; right? for example, is something the commission would like to know. >> okay. >> i'll work with the general manager to flush out exactly the rates we'll pursue and the

points we can best engage the commission participation rather than delivering you something. >> i'm curious in hearing i don't know in is this is the consultants purview you talk about the surface as low hanging fruit and what you know is the additional options and maybe there is something we're not really seeing or maybe there is additional benefits that could be gained by some other component or tool. >> absolutely something in the scope. >> okay. great additional to continue to hear about what rises to the surface and again, it might not an opportunity for our technology you know really be maximizing we're using it with the rfp but what that looks like as part of stormwater charge program moving forward. >> one of the things we could

do after we bring the consultant on they can talk about with other city and are actually doing so get an understanding and an appetite is for us to consider what we're pulling out in the program maybe that's a good time they'll didn't you have what other cities and the challenges were because we're not the only cities doing it we're actually, we saw a lot of cities implementing you know stormwater fees they do it gradually so you know there are different concepts so you know once we bring the consultant on we can do a workshop of what and a half learned from other cities and maybe have a dialogue at a time. >> i think this is time we go

through this a mechanical effort of the studies we're at a point of i think fluctuation people are thinking differently about water treatment and the development of thought moving rapidly we need to make sure we use this is as an opportunity to react appropriately. >> thank you for the input. >> any other comments or questions. >> next speaker, please. >> so the next item is presentation of upcoming bye annual budget meeting i want to say this is my second budget since i was appoint in 2012 and today, we're going to give a presentation on a high-level of what we are proposing and some

of the challenges and how we're prioritizing it's ban a tough budget because of our revenue as you may know we have reduced our water sales that a lot of the 3 businesses are tied to the demand of water use so our customers have done a very good job of conserving waitress we saw the financial challenges that we've been facing and so you know we're going to have hearings later this month to go into much more detail so the hope that we anticipate final approval at the commission on the 9 and hopefully, we'll have those workshops and so you know the main principles we have core principle is that we want to make sure we continue to deliver

high quality reliable service when one thing we want to make sure the second we want to maintain our critical infrastructure and then also, we want to make sure that we have ratepayer accountability we're looking at a lot of external and internal challenges it is packing one is the drought i mentioned earlier what i did i we knew that come in we had to tighten our belt so the first thing that directed staff is cut 5 percent of 2016 budget and so and that will help put us in the position of 2017 and 2018 and then we really look ated how we can address the next two years

so we have over the next two years we have about a 1 percent account to 5 percent in the last two year budget so we have a slight increase from next year you'll see the trend so some the responses that we're able to incorporate that is a slight increase is the mutation of cca how the positions we have a new source of revenue isle you'll see that the other is the new development is the not slowing down so we're behind the eight ball of meeting the schedules of developers we're requesting the resources to do that and the other thing we're continuing to involve in critical infrastructure so 18 mile pipe replacement we committing to doing that and more resources to

do those in the capital budget so it's been a hard budget because we not only look at the operating capital to achieve i feel a modest increase in the next two year budget we looked at amongst the existing resources how to redeploy them there is probably very more or less positions we're adding outside cca to address that we looked at subsiding some positions to repurpose them and the other thing it is challenge we have an aging workforce and so 47 percent in wastewater is eligible to retire we're looking at a session of planning and ways that we can you know utility that for training and

opportunities to maybe do things differently so with that, i wanted to ask eric to come up and give a short presentation. >> may i have the slides please. commissioners eric sandler assistant general manager of the cfo this presentation is about the bio budget specifically with the general manager kelly said in the presentation so 0 i'm going to start with an introduction there is a budget and looked did calendar and talk about the external pressures when we developed this budget and give you a sense of the overall budget changes are in advance of the actual hearings

so as i mentioned the mayor requested the department heads to update other strategic plan we've take advantage of this with the goal area and spent time a a few weeks ago talking about the financial sustainability and the budget related policies within this area as we've talked about the 4 we have a regular series of budgeting activities that are highlight by the charter and the 10 year capital improvement plan and the water plan and the bilingual budget and rates and harasses that are set on various periods here is the budget development calendar we looked this in september just to reremind where we've been before i talk about where

we are going september 8, 2015, was when we started to talk to the commission about input of budget priorities and sent a lot of time of the impact of the drought and the drought the drought continues and worsens and looked at the financial combats impacts and set forth short-term and long-term efforts we'll undertake to manage through this from that meeting you provided us direction it was essentially if this is an opportunity to tile our belts but not give up the gains over the past 10 years to invested in the infrastructure be mindful of the measures we take. i think we've balanced and struck a good balance in the requested budget over the last several months staff has been developing budget

proposals based on the general manager direction going into a detailed budget later this month and february we're looking for action in early february and then the budget will be included in the large city budget process here we go or here's the specific schedule the budget related activity the meeting today on the 12 and 3 special meetings that are calendar two of them is a place holder inform follow-up the first one an january 22nd we'll be talking about the water enterprise and hetch hetchy water and power those mergers are starting at 10 and ending other two having lunch in between and talking about the water in the beginning in the morning and with water and power in the afternoon and on the 29 we'll talk about

wastewater february 5th a a followup meeting if necessary and february 9th at the regular hearing will be putting before you the 10 year capital improvement plan and financial plan and budget for consideration of documentation and send out materials in advance of this merging. >> can we have our meeting on the 26. >> we will but not budget related calendar so general manager kelly talked about this is our ongoing balancing act he need to preserve the rate for affordability but we don't create a budget under a vacuum we need to deal with the external factors that have effected us one is the dough the

impact of the stent drought we've talked about that on the eighth and what's happening and the general manager powder the impact of the development and then the increasing operating costs those are you know we've got general inflation and general wages and benefits i wanted to point out towards the end of the voep the budget we got unexpected information with wages and benefits in the second year actually an expected decrease in the employee contribution rate but ended up increasing so this is one of the business that and health care were one of the pressures you see ups pressures and the driver is the settlement of retirees

that a settlement several folks retirees investment act were these and those are the drivers of those changes. >> can i ask a question sorry on the new development piece we'll get into it but is there going to be a proposal for additional staff report in order to deal with the new business seems like i can imagine with the new requests and just a request that the limitations of the request there will be some. >> what's really driving it is we're actually getting hook up fees we're able to do that but for any other resources that we have to look at we don't have money the challenge we had to do everything because we don't want to raise rates we have a limited

amount of resources we're trying to do what we can and in this situation it is for new development based on the fees for hookups. >> that should cover the costs. >> you'll see in the budget presentation that will be clearly outlined in the presentation new position are being requested. s it relates to that. >> yes. >> as it relates to the updating of longevity tables. >> so that's why we're giving cookies and doughnuts. >> (laughter). yes, we are so i wanted to spend a few minutes characterizing the external pressure i want to remind you the drought effects

our enterprises the water enterprise is in terms of demand and the power side that is really a supply issue how much power to generate and what do we have to sell and buy from the market we highlighted that the power enterprise is recovery quite rapid and this is in fact, what is happening so as steve mentioned and above afternoon precipitation and the el nino our reservoirs are filing but we're in a deep deficit and how conditions will regressing and the states with drought restrictions regardless of precipitation and we expect the demand to be for the next week several years in fact, our

financial planning we're bays it on the low demand so oh, i'm sorry just to remind you what this drought continued scenario this is how i'll orient around the grass of projected retail demand on the action sister low is the retail sales and the blue line represents the historical information and that's for the past 12 years it is demand is downward the green line is the assumption we made for retail water demand when we developed the rate and charge package we're in the red line is demand estimated essentially current demand as you can see that's 11 percent

reduction so when you crank that through the revenue side of the valuation i'll see a significant revenue rescues versus where we thought we'd be in the charges >> is your assumption going to do into the next two years is what. >> the drought tans path that is in the retail service area not project by project a drought worsens scenario it is continuing at this level of demand. >> within the other things we'll talked about increasing the new development you'll hear that in the assistant general manager presentation but i thought that map would be helpful except the city didn't need to be showing up laughter this map shows the project areas and when you - of course, it

didn't represent what is going on in the city when you compare today with 2012 weeping we've seen a 12 percent demand in product services this demand focuses our organizations supporting the development agreement with the city and conducting plan reviews making new installations a whole workflow it gets adopted by this you'll hear in more a detail from all the gm so in addition to the external pressures what is going going on in the organization no organization is statusic but we're going through a lot of transition and implementing the ssi p and increasing the pass of r and r and we have a

generational change in the workforce we'll go through those fairly quickly and completing a recess you're familiar with that information the $4.8 billion to our ripening system we're talking about completing the biggest project in wsip but more and more implementing those aspects into the daily operation for example, 22 now ground water systems and consider the impacts of integrating of the general operations and also the viral obligations similarly we have implementing the dot that time you're here about that later and some of the

challenges both a larger calendar program and increasing the pace of r and r in all the water and sewer and a water main in the middle a street light and there are a couple of dynamics here the replacement rate of water and sewer from 6 to 15 miles a year we're not the only people in the streets we have to keep pace with dpw and mta and an additional level for those as well you'll hear about that. >> and you've seen this chart before we have a lot going on in the enterprise we have the expansion of our existing pub owned utilities that customer base and there are resources

allocated to that and cleanpowersf you'll hear more about today potentially represents a very large business line and what we have here i think general manager kelly talked about the generational change in the workforce here's a graft that represents october of this year the percentage of employees in each depth eligible to retire within 5 years it is significant means not only managing but the work of our our work is changing reflected in the budget as general manager kelly mentioned and we repurpose our vacancies and align them with the needs

so, now we've talked about the external pressures and the comboirlg dynamics of the organization in september we talked about short medium and long term strategies for addressing many of over financial challenges and in the short term we've taken the miles an hour to manage the expenditures have $22.6 million in reduction and another $38 million in debt services and the medium term is the development of bio budget we've embarked on and the long term is the stuff in terms of the long term sustainability and the financial plan stuff as well as the efforts. >> so when you boil is down what's the priorities you'll say reflected as proposed by the annual budget well, we're launching clean power it is a huge undertaking we're implementing the power

business plan, we're completing wsip i've talked about that a little bit and implementing ssi p and increasing the because of r and r those are the themes you'll see throughout our budget hearing when you put it altogether this is what woe we get excluding other clean power we're talking about the budget contains non-capital spends to an afternoon of 1 percent a year the operating budget is growing between fiscal year 2016 and 2018 by one percent a year and we add clean power to that we're breaking down the billion dollars budget barrier skrou just to frame with general manager kelly was talking about those colors don't show up as

well, the 10 year plan financial plan was based on an assumption of growth in the operating budget of 3 percent a year it's a total of 6 percent between 2016 and 2018 the target we've sent out to contain that increase one percent in the second year it essentially 5 percent reduction that's the target and i mentioned we identified reductions and identified proposals and made priorities and late in the process we have in addition with respect to the benefits and this is where we came out with the operating budget that increases more 15 percent the second year and addresses the priorities we've talked about and we've been talking about this as well so, now let's turn to the

capital improvement plan and capital budget we went through a process we thoroughly reviewed the presumptions not money to be deployed so each of that enterprise went through that and prioritized all the scope the highlight is that the water enterprise 10 year capital improvement plan is one $.4 billion and completing calaveres dam is a local contains and distribution is a new priority and reaching the pipeline and relating essentially the same work on the transition piecemeal as the distribution pipes the watering enterprise 10 year is $4.5 billion we updated the schedule added funds for

resilience and increased the collection of r and r the hetch hetchy water and power vip is one billion dollars we did a lot of the reallocation and focused on critical power r and r and, of course, we fund fully fund mountain tunnel in the plan and we also added funds to the local distribution for the customers that is the implementing the power mp so you may be wondering so eric you know in september things were looking dire and where are we now we're still looking at reduced revenue picture we expect water sales to be at the level they're at now that he this is a significant revenue reduction but offset by combining the expenses in the

operating budget debt service budget so yet we believe where we're talking about perhaps having a rate increase in the great package this is unlikely unless we're in the worse drought condition this is a picture and as well rates and charges after fiscal year 19 on are in line where w where we said we'll be last year when you saw the 10 year financial plan and navigate customer bills because the reduced water bills is lower than the afternoon customer we thought it would be one or two years ago i have information when i think about the credit outcome and how having that

conversation with the rate issues what are the major issues i'll be talking about all the entrepreneurss are stable and the waterside we'll be talking about managing the water drought it's the most effective and wastewater i think really the story how we are implementing the mp it is an extraordinary large water plan and on the power side eel really is how we're implementing any impacts to the power enterprise so just to review the rate impacts 2018 you are familiar with that slide slide 26 we have the combined rate increase water to water and sewer we showed you in 2014-2015

and 2015-2016 then we have the nominal rate increases and the change versus the 5 years and what you, see that versus where we talked about a year ago we were about a one percent higher for the first 3 years 1920 and 21 and a percent lover if it 2 perhaps for meaningful is the bill impact on the next page where you can see that in fact, you know when you goon the rate increase with reduces customer use we're project by project bills in $201,914 lower than what we showed two years ago or $8 lower than two years ago i think this is a good story

you've seen this is this the detail of the budget hearing we're going to be convene on the 22 and the 29 maybe for final action on the 29 of february i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you and i'm sorry that commissioner caen is not here with us because i'm hoping to ask her if she's willing to serve as the chair of the budget she's historically but we haven't had a chance to discuss that is not official but i'll catch up with her this friday and if no objections from the commissioners any other questions on what was presented. >> i have one thank you for the report

the city is on a deficit the costs of city are up 21 percent where the puc in the cost frame. >> when you look at the city departments and the mayor's instructs tare to reduce general fund support by 1.5 percent and then that enterprise departments worked to absorb the impacts of really the increased employer contributions so similar instructions and this is reflected in the budget. >> uh-huh. >> thank you. >> commissioner vice president moran. >> how long in terms of your water demand projections staying low. >> we have that for the next

through the 10 year projection period could be considered xheefrl. >> the reason i'm pleased with that answer if earn to make the power objective we maintain the current levels and that's consistent with our budget proenlz. >> yes. >> and if it turns out that our choument was not as great and people use more that we generate some revenue that we can divert into conservatism. >> yes. >> that's a i think an opportunity for us to perhaps take policy positions we would like to take anyway, the numbers may support that at this time. >> yes. thank you for that. >> any other questions or

comments next item, please. >> >> last item a sewer system improvement program for the update. >> good afternoon, commissioners karen the director of wastewater capital program this is my regular quarterly report it corresponds to the last report today, we'll go over the challenges and updates and an update on those the stakeholder engagement currently our projects are in planning and design but moving forward quibble into construction this is the projects we're based on the endorsement of the service our early implementation project currently sunset in design and construction and it is being implemented by dpw and that's 10 blocks that is going forward

both mission and valencia and hallway will begin construction in about three weeks and have more starting in the fall so currently 68 projects moving forward 57 are in planning and design and 4 that chart shows 6 in construction that is construction and close out two actively in construction and expenditures no low side that will pick up each commission meeting you'll be seeing requests for award for construction some of the achievement we will have applied for 4 state resolving funds and received one so we're looking for the other 3 to move forward shortly as you may know we're preapproved for

$14.4 million we've got a guidebook this is a resource for contractors and substances for engineers and inspectors and we talked to our scleegz about the designation and got best practices and incorporated those into this book we'll be doing a video when we do the haul away projects lastly we have awarded two additional contracts those were awarded haul away and the valencia other updates on the projects have begun 35 percent design and the environmental the grit project we're the head works for north and south will be moving that contract out the door at the end of this month and

beginning of next month 3 qualified contractors and we've got g b r we've initiated the 12-month progress for the tunnel and corresponding with the green projects we've built with that and the late item i want to highlight this is one that harlan asked me about systemically looking at the design storm the 5 year storm as well as larger storms and seeing how the system performs where we have challenges and that leads into a future slide i have updates on constructions as i said two jobs active and this is our schedule for what is coming forward and several green structure and a lot of work at the treatment work and the fires and facilities and work on the north point out fall we'll be

here on the s i p awards now this slide i want to read because we are very lucky we have the person connie heading the workforce for s example i p he helps us to context identity 28 plus million dollar on the circumstance s example i p one and $12 million to substances and others to lbe in addition the sf businesses prime contractor on 5 contracts that represents over $30 million so we are very, very excited about that and through june san francisco residents have worked more than 40 percent of hours on the ssi p that's exceeded the requirements

across the board so thank you, sue and your group if on this everything was so easy we do have challenges shown in the charts before me we have glutton 4 months worth of detailed work looking at the individual projects and suspending the scope and coming forward march 8 to discuss the baseline and discussing at this point the projects because the sister s example i p has the stormwater it is the right place for those to be and specifically the last one tommy will be talking about the aging workforce the guys are starting to use the retirement word and planning their exit and some of the guys stranger when i first start that is starting

we're concerned about there they're a great institutional memory and the liaison that works sibdz with us we don't think them exciting things on the stakeholder side several meetings with neighbors that live in low lying areas they're aware the low water grant program we had a webinar that businesses met the project manager and the project sponsors like to be in the office but we want their faces to be familiar to the neighbors and the telephone course to review the projects when we get state resolving monies and there's a picture there it is really didn't show up great but commissioner president vietor helping us this is the wonderland and trees ceremony at

malcolm heinicke dale plaza and the vip staff participate this year they light the third street we took a hiatus to give everyone a break but continued at oceanside those are the year numbers the numbers on the rap video the number of folks that are friends and following us and liking us you kudos to the communication staff they've going done a great job. >> we raise money for a warm coat and our program management unfortunately not me dressed up we did fundraiser activity with that, any questions on the program i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> i just want to point out

maybe we glossed over is one of the major concerns we have the central shop and so we're working on and actually some legislation going before the board we can fast track because one of the things we have to do is move central shop to another location so we can take advantage of this site that's why the civil rights will go for each month 3 months escalation that's one of the major themes we're focused on work with the board to get a designer contractor award to design central shops we can put that in place they can central shops can relocation. >> site control as well.

>> thank you thank you very much. >> and that that concludes my report. >> other public comments on the general manager report? >> yeah. good afternoon, commissioners eric brooks san francisco green party grassroots organization our city so i recently found out something about something hopefully, will at least go into the general manager report if not be rescheduled for a full item hearing and that unfortunately, i heard about it last spring that is you might be aware and had an item previously the california independent system operators is getting ready to seek permission to join with pacific world and pacific core still as coal in their management area and basically, their trying to become a much

bigger system operators to save costs which may or may not the case one way to put more fossil fuel in the energy mix we're looking a situation they're going to seek permission soon on this where california vicinities system operators that manages the service that they no longer have coal and needs to head away from fossil fuel at all from gas and the vicinity system operators is proceedingly better than about the resources mix and resource planning and joining those in this we get this more fossil fuel coal oriented system operators joining with our system operator that didn't it seems to me like it is in the

san francisco utilities interest and kaltz interest the interest of fighting global warming so i hope the general manager has the staff look at this and maybe the environmental commissioner president vietor have staff look at this what it means if it looks like it causes serious problems let's get an item on the agenda and deal with it to the state we don't want this to be approved that's it thanks. >> could we get an update at the next meeting the implications of this merger on pg&e operations and we'll definitely look at this. >> is there any additional public comment? >> on the general manager report or commission comments we'll take a quick 5 minute break and return a

>> okay. we're resuming the san francisco public utilities commission meeting and we're moving to the consent calendar item 10 can you please read the items mr. commission secretary and item 10 consent calendar commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests in which event the matter shall be removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. a approve terms and conditions and authorize a 5 years last but not least lease for approximately 4 thousand plus rental square feet of office space on park boulevard at a rental rate of 9 thousand plus per month and b authorize the

the cleanpowersf services. >> good afternoon, commissioners barbara hale assistant general manager for power i'm happy to recap where we're at for cleanpowersf and update you on the latest information and seek over support on the resolution before you in november we presented the cleanpowersf business plan and recommend did business design and outlined the costs and opportunities and risks we discussed how those risks would be mitigate and projected the performance in december we updated the commission on all of those elements and presented the final business plan that was shared with the commission and members of the public at that time, in on december 8th we identified cost elements in the plan that were still in fluctuation a number of those have now settled so i'd like to do today review what

those are and the impact on the program projection also review the key milestones the schedule so today's presentation should provide you with what we understand to be the final projected program performance applying the business policies and policies you adopted in september we still have the same cleanpowersf goals and objectives that is balancing affordability and cleaner energy for local renewable jobs and insuring stable rates a stable financial picture the overall program design has always not changed what's changed since i

since over presentation on december 8th our fees were adopted the exit fee was increased as promoted in the december 8th presentation there was a slight decrease in the rates and an increase in residential generation rates we received a new supply price refresh we're seeing the supply costs decline a little bit as they did before the december meeting and weer showing here revised customer mixed and enrollment plan that reflect the participation of commercial customers in the program as commissioner caen suggested the december 8th meeting to improve the programs overall performance the overall outcome is an increase in margin and stronger reserves as a result of those

changes on the 8 we shared this base case we recorded a 6.05 operating reserve what we were able to excuse me. a 6.5 percent operating margin and we were able to fund our operating reserve by 2018 but not able to suv fund our consistency rate reserve to meet the target the circled areas on the slide we've settled that and now this new look at the sources and uses again overall what i'm going to show you is improved financials with a margin that is now proenld at 12 percent so with pg&e's current rates and exit fee we see favorable movement in the energy sales revenue

an increase of about $6 million we're project by project as a result of those changes in pg&e current rates and pcia for exit fee on the supply cost line due to the refresh another item that is favorable a decrease of a million dollars over a 5 year period and seeing as a result of the customer mix change a decrease in some of the operating costs over the 5 year period resulting in about $3 million in savings those improved financials a us to project funding the reserves both the operating and contingency funds and as well as additional reserves the 3 green

circles at the bottom the slide we've yipped for our consideration a sensitivity analysis on the eight here's the new picture there very modest changes and results there very small manageable where what we see overall then in this new base case is the ability to achieve our goals affordable cleaner investing logically and providing rate and financial stability while achieving a 12 percent operating margin still a relatively small margin but much more comfortable to launch this new line of business knowing a fully operating reserve and contingency stable shin in the first 3 years so just to recap quickly the drivers that have settled are

hone on this slide by the 12 we have been successfully negotiating with our court parties ass same parties you saw before and the negotiations for the contract are now complete counter parties are getting final approval signatures today and tomorrow on the master agreement and final prices and sign confirms with our resolution before you i want to emphasize this is the first round of contracts we'll have additional opportunities to do business with those supplies and others companies as we move forward with the program in the future quick recap where we at schedule wise with our change in customer mix the slight change we want to strategically slip our service date from the april 16th date

you've seen before to the may one date you see at the bottom of the slide that allows us to begin to serve commercial customers in the cleanpowersf program after they've seen their annual rate change under the wirnlt schedule to the summer schedule every time - every year at this time they'll see a shift from a lower to a higher summer level we don't want to confuse them our service is that we've strategize offering to the may 1st date to make it the bills more understandable the changes to our committees you backing up you'll see the schedule also includes program notices being sent anti january 29th as a give us two

weeks more time to work with the customers in advance of send out the notices and make the may 1st date then and so with that, i'd like to encourage the licenseers to enroll and ask for the commissioners yes vote to get this program started thank you. >> questions or comments i pulled up my notes 2 1/2 years ago i found my notes relevant for today so i thought. >> i told you so; right? >> put in a few minor events. >> today is a historic enemy for the city of san francisco to show it's decade to ross's green

house gas emissions and become a leader in embattling change cleanpowersf so lead the country by example to protect our city from the impacting environment and build our own local clean supply we wouldn't have arrived was the leadership the city and the entire commission they bring expertise and perspectives that allow us not to exceed that allows four 100 percent and options of renewal power and local job creation i want to acknowledge the hard work of the staff we asked 80 them to address the concerns the local build out to the power mix to the affordability of the promissory note program we have before us accountable raised to meet the ouvendz and move the

program forward this is the faster and most effective way to move forward the cca model is implemented across the state and country with a great responsibility and honor i make the motion to confirm the motions to have cleanpowersf. (clapping.) >> so i'm going to make the motion. >> so i know i just want to add i want to thank the staff it took a a long time to get to this point and we've been here and i think back when the that i have even though happened i felt the momentum shift the opt out was the goobldz so once we that i have even though and phone call we

have a way to go we have a lot i really want to thank the commission for their leadership we have a great meeting with soma and talked about their program and really want to thank the two commissioners francesca for coming to the meeting and talked about one of the biggest challenges to launch but once you launch it is day to day interaction like going into business i with great pride happy to accept the responsibility of finalizing the deal and signing the document if you approve the - item. >> so i made a motion is there

will something else make the motion. >> i want to say a if i things first of all, it is awesome you have notes but i think the engagement between the advocates and staff really is started out kind of rocky and counterfeited we owe the thanks to the advocates for being practical with us i think precedent but i don't think we could have a more appropriate chair than francesca not just today but the next few phases i'm happy to sit with her and be a part of it when i started to do the math who would be the chair and rolled the stuff out i'm supporting her if she wants to make a motion as

chair i ask we suspend robert's rules of order and do this. >> no, we don't actually not adopted the robert's rules of order so most commissions have we're exceptional so she actually controls the order of business so she can move to make her own motion. >> after we have public comment. >> i'll remember that. >> i can make the motion and get on the table then public comment; correct? if it gets seconded. >> i'll second. >> so commissioner caen would you like to hear from the public comment first. >> public comment. >> okay. good afternoon one more time commissioners eric

brooks san francisco green party our city san francisco clean power and of the statewide coalition for expanding and low income community choice aggregation i've said this two or three times this is a great day but this time it looks like it a great day because we're winning the world series at least met phonetically and so i want to say the staff present this basic presentation to the advocates a few days ago clearly - the prioritization the customers from the begin so and for once

you'll be glad to hear we agree with a delay because of reasons stated we don't want people getting bill shock not a great idea to have people enrolled in a program the day aftertax day that creates a bad mental state so it looks like i did not see any advocates oppose that one so just want to strongly encourage to go forward one outlying issue that is currently the business plans to do sustainable citywide build out not 2020 that's two along o long and china is in a down turn we'll focus on creating the clean energy jobs we need to start in the next

year or two to get serious about a citywide build out plan now staff to communicate now to figure the kind of workshop and shareholders workshop to figure creativity solutions but besides that one thing that is needed strong work we wholeheartedly support our moving forward and this is a spectacular day. >> thank you. >> hello commissioner president vietor i'm jed from 350 sf thinking back to that day in 2013 that was i wouldn't say a horde of people but half a

horde a lot of discontent this thing of being inhuman a testament of maybe the length of the process but most importantly most importantly a testament to the level off cooperation we've reached it is no longer necessary to continue to try to convey the level of discomfortable where we are really consider the lack of resounding voices of success compared to maybe the situation we've seen with previous presidents of commission in the last few years ago i want to environment the staff for turning a set of bad situations into somehow doubling the margin of the program and doubling the reserves in the first furious and giving a discount to the customers that goes to show

we're smart and creative creativity and appreciate the convert planning but give ourselves credit on things tackling now we're about to take this historic step we'll move forward open making sure this is implement fully and to certainly for us as the climate advocacy organization expanding that citywide as much as possible as remotely feasible and expanding the build out as feasible looking for alternative funding sources since we've seen no money coming in for the next year's for things like build out and looking at the supervisors and supportive bodies inside of the family that want us to have the jobs and moving forward to 2020 to work together to basically make that happen so

that's my cue or maybe it is my mom watching on tv (laughter) thanks very much for getting us all here we look forward to working but. >> jooefd commissioner breed for lafco i think your staff has done an excellent job followed the suit of the my date that is something you'll notice all the cca have launched a smart move for the staff to hold back two weeks is something plus a good move to make i'll state that this is actually a great opportunity for the city i know the advocates are talking about there are things in the plan if you push your staff they'll find ways to do the blt build out quicker but a matter of getting the right planning place to launder that plan is in front of

you will create jobs in the long run and save he green house gas gas stations and promote a budget in the future that plan will fix the ones needed for operations today, i'm hoping you'll be voting unanimously with the commissioner president vietor it is pushing but pushing for our individual aspects all the issues you've raised have been addressed when you give our staff the question and say solve this problem our staff comes back and solves it but only stopped when told not to continue give over staff the permission to go forward and sign the contract and get in program moving forward the city is waiting and ready and anticipating it people are excited about it let's move forward today thank you.

>> thank you. >> thanks for all the public comment anyone else any is there any additional public comment? >> >> i have one president. >> mr. brooks thank you for knowing the cubs their favorite to win over the giants a short antidote my wife was addressing the fear of the number of 13 just to disprove barriers exist in our mind that prevents the success the officer i was impressed i'm glad to be part of effort staff working hard to get this and moving forward is despite the obstacles and we'll breath easy and echo the build out comments i'm eager to see the timeline sooner 2020 as far
