days if someone has problem paying and not first time help them pay. >> yeah. so first of all, that is a may not saying that we will. >> will. >> but not that i'm aware of people that we retain the right to do that and we don't at this injunction have the ability to over a payment plan because the bills for cleanpowersf customers is a shared bill between us and he pg&e electric and pg&e gas there isn't yet win the pg&e simply territory a method for distributing the funds if customers among the 3 under a payment plan approach so we know that marin and sonoma have been attempting to work
11:41 am
with pg&e to establish around approach i understand there is difficulty but we're joining in that effort we will be able to over an approach like that having said that, at the office of public utilities commission the collaboration process what our internal process will be with engaging with customers procure to returning them to pg&e development. >> great and the last question i have the the last question i have has to do with with in terms of getting people signed up for the super green when is the deadline to sign up and could that deadline be a push for making sure you're in you know wave one and two and 3.

11:43 am
green like a deadline for super green during the initial period our intention is to procure more contribute nerd to meet any super green demands we see we didn't think that was you know overall in our interests to limit the super green. >> i think what i'm getting at some sort of act now exactly that gives people a the fact of the matter and target and the very last question. >> commissioner i think for now, the act now is getting to the program by telling us you 7, 8, 9 in before august one. >> before august one okay. and then lastly with our going to the community effort have we used ipads are still. telling
11:44 am
people cleanpowersf is great go home and sign up. >> i'm previous sure we have the ipads i can check with the staff we're role playin that at the office i believe the answer is yes and i'll communicate through jason to you. >> that would be great i heard reports people railroad getting information they had to take that 12r5 step of going home and signing up. >> maybe a mix where you know some events we have the ipads and some we don't i'll double check that and give you sold answers. >> one question the 73 automobile engrossments across the city or a chief graphic area there was a plan that was in district 10 there were coming
11:45 am
from. >> yes. their conveyed in district 10 with an emphasis on commercial initially great, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> okay mr. fried you want to add in here. >> i don't have much to add what ms. hale said about the program i want to talk about the extension of the entering agency agreement with the marin clean power we wanted to do work and pay them on our good enough within the last month the puc came to lafco is it possible to have the mechanism or small projects that need to be done that the sfpuc wants to work with monte sereno but our contract our agreement expired the item before you to expend that agreement for a couple of years not asking for additional money above the money allocated
11:46 am
but to keep thing clean and something big was needed we'll have to come back and ask for on extension there is an amendment i've put on your desk we didn't realize membership informed us they've moved their address in the original agreement harassed changed a new amendment that has the changed address as well as keeping every up to date we will staff will request you approve the agreement you give the staff the authority to move forward with anything that needs to be done i'll move forward with marin the sfpuc needed to see founded a we're eagle the cpuc funds and the cpuc and i'm in agreement with the puc on how to move forward with this. >> okay. he appreciate our
11:47 am
finding the new address and somalia's an impeccable detail. >> (laughter). okay we open up for public comment any must be member of the urban design that wants to comment and okay. good afternoon eric brooks san francisco green party argue our city clean power advocates and clean power choice first of all, i won't forget it on the last point raised it would be good hopefully in under the same mou so it didn't cost more money add in sonoma and better perspectives to dovetail we're not getting one prospective from the community choice if possible so the greater subject of community
11:48 am
choice that is the first opportunity for the folks to thank lafco although the chair and the vice chair that both are continuing for under our watch getting this off the ground this program started and that can't be understated how the important it is how important lafco is over the years and plus in is just spectacular we got this off the ground and on marketing i've noticed noticed i personally starting getting e-mails if pg&e and informed sfpuc staff putting out a poll of goodnesss we're setting up businesses so say hey we'll help you through the energy efficient and things like that we should be aware aware that pg&e is getting the game
11:49 am
and we need to counter that one thing will help the metering information as long as we have hard numbers i'm assuming will be as good and marin and sonoma to give us the opportunity to tell the potential customers in of the insurance program there this will be a better deal and pg&e is trying to minimize how much their pope paying peep but to help us to market as quickly as possible and i'll bring up the one bone of contention the most for over the decade we need to set our tatters that is the sfpuc go staff has done stellar work and marking it possible to launch the face of puc doubling
11:50 am
they've projected not starting a bitten comprehensive local go installation of clean energy across the city until something like that 2020 they definitely graciously will meet and set that up it meeting for finance possibility to have the city fund the promotions and the city sell the fund and puc or the power enterprise question need to get to the next phase of making sure that the local bulb out happens >> thank you any other member of the puc public would like to comment new? >> hello my name is silvia johnson. i'm glad you're working on a
