12:33 pm
cherry and to j.t. c all in the past never done it because of issues are the previous owner and we pretty much figured out what was some of the issues on the previous owner side after that i contacted all the city organization like japantown and the immediate neighbors and contacted the movie theatre that has the biggest crowd they're brought out they were bought out and now by a new he movie company of some sort and a process to get an answer the gm that the michael springs i spoke to him he understands i'll be there he's not there for any reasons made no complaint but he was one of the main people to kind of put all the not sure
12:34 pm
exactly what in the past but the main person so other than that there are a few letters he couldn't get in time because the apartment across the street and they were a little bit easier to get you know and other than that the movie theatres that was extracted to get anything from there with so far as the community organization almost japantown task force and every japantown community group i didn't realize their process of getting a letter from them would take somewhat 4 weeks up to 2 months so i have to go to their hearing and plead any case they'll take that to their board of directors i didn't realize the process was so long but the
12:35 pm
process with the other 5 japantown task force and j.t. and as soon as jc c. >> great definitely sounds like you've done our homework any question how are things with sundance knowing that was hung up for a while by you have clearance if the general manager those issues are resolved. >> yes. yeah. the movie theatre were the most thoughtful group we have issues and the original person was gail johnson i on intersections his last name but things were lost in between as far as the business we're keeping everything generally the same it is mostly food and a ratio of 70, 50 and the rest is liquor related no night club no
12:36 pm
department of emergency events cut out anything that was remodeling having a crowd not up to mike night i cut that out any kind of rap related rap things they used to have i cut that out and pretty much our live performance is basically a raggedy multi currently music we're trying to focus on but we're definitely not doing hip hop or rap related to something that would probably be disruptive. >> great i hope you can continue playing the role of a focal point for the community i know that the asian-american auctions have been advertisings it sounds like those are continuing and continuing and
12:37 pm
hope with entertainment. >> so that's really great i totally support that commissions you guys have any questions or thoughts. >> i mean it is run as a limited will with the previous owner we've not had any complaints i've not seen it on the reports. >> that was a while ago but the main complainants i don't see anything many in our files so even though previous owner had to go through a lengthy progress with planning and that's when sundance got involved but the 312 notification. >> i on intersections that was limited live and go beyond that. >> there was involving the planning commission and planning department where we tried to step in and safe this our territory. >> so anymore questions and

12:40 pm
quote/unquote cocktails fresh ingredients and being in soma there is a good amount of businesses that are based on gaming like the major developers lake the - i reached out to most of them but some are huge companies but get feedback from the smaller companies we were looking to get 10 games pinball machines as an accessory we building breaks the money in any and helps us out with the local community i did reach out to went door to door 2 or 3 hundred feet with local businesses and restaurants and retail shops get positive feedback but unfortunately not many people relied back but
12:41 pm
thatnuts and bolts it the a positive environment we're taking over a lounge area i think we're a little bit safer environment not the place where - people will have a lot of security and we'll look down others crowd as well and so we don't see issues happening if that sense and i'm available to answer any questions. >> commissioner joseph. >> hi so tell me how many man's will you have. >> 10. >> and where are you putting them downstairs or upstairs. >> said. >> and serving food upstairs so the machinery is upstairs. >> correct we took a good effort and hired designers they

12:43 pm
>> more. >> that's a great personal preference. >> what - in your security. >> uh-huh. >> are you going to just a question because a previous commissioner representing police once asked a question about anyone coming in for an arcade what will you do or how is the skgsdz going to handsome situations to make sure there is no gambling with the machines. >> no gambling. >> yeah. >> gambling on scores. >> i keep the eyes on the prize - i have a previous large staff we call them floor people they're all over the place and their job to look around and see what's going on that will definitely help to superfluous we've not have concerned but

12:46 pm
something we can definitely spot out. >> those games are retrofit you say gambling to me. >> of gambling is not like donkey. >> pack man and some of the computer games. >> what's the price for those games. >> $0.25. >> very cool thanks. >> let me had an on one second $0.502 too. >> i'm on tv so this really is i hear a high demand like arcades and arcades in bars i on intersections you'll your filling a demand not met at this point. >> rent is expensive i'm sure have you - it sounds like you've

1:04 pm
are operational. on may 1, clean power w sf served customer jz today is the 19th day of operations. took a lot of work to get here and i know this body was central to that effort. along the lines of good news, our opt out rates continue to be very low. we are still just under 1 percent of total opt outs for the may enrollment. at the beginning of the week we began the issuance of the third stattory set of notices to customers about enrollment and we'll send those out throughout the course of the month.
1:05 pm
customers will get their first clean power powersf bill now. the [inaudible] will get the first bills in june. we expect to see a second opt out because that makes the experience real when you get a bill but the rate we are seeing we think is great and expect it to stay low, lower than the twnt percent we were originally expecting. >> just a question on bills, i do all my bills for pg & e on line and don't receive bills, just paying it and wonder if that changes it all because i joined clean powersf. >> no changes, you can will continue to pay on line. i believe pg & e will send you a link to view the bill on line and it will identify the clean powersf charges on the bill. there will be a page with clean
1:06 pm
powersf charges summarize jd detailed as well. it should be a seamless experience and continue to pay the same way you would. >> for those getting paper bills, is sthr some dramatic thing people will see that could encourage them to opt out? is that- >> nothing dramatic. what they'll see is a line on the summary page of the bill that identifies clean powersf charges. that will be the first time they see that. they may call and ask questions and hopefully they've read the notices we have been sending them but at that point they probably would have received 4. again, when you pay your bill customers will study it. some customers will study it and that may be where they really reach out to us and have more questions. >> on the opt out rate we are less than
1:07 pm
1 percent and.0001 is less than 1 percent. >> good question. we are about.9 of a percent. >> and then.9 of a percent-- >> yeah,.009. >> that is a big difference. that is close to zero. >> yes. >> and then given that small sample of people who opt out what are the reasons people say? >> we are tracking that. they range from not wanting to leave their current provider to not wanting to take service from local government to a perception that the cost may go up. i say though the majority are-another one does tend to be the automatic enrollment mechanism. we are talking
1:08 pm
about a small sample overall. >> very very small. okay, thank you. >> so, continuing on the customer enrollment line here, we are continuing to receive sign ups on line and through our public outreach activities. i believe last time we reported to you on earth day we had a very successful earth week and got a lot of sign ups and that continues. at that time we had 240 sign ups. we now have 340 and 70 percent of those are super green services. so, we are seeing a trend for those who sign up they want to go super green, which is great. with respect to proceedings of the cpuc we
1:09 pm
continue to monitor there and proceedings that may effect pg & e cost to make sure the costs are nolt unfairly shifted to customers. we focus on power judge adjustment and other fees pg & e can assign to customers for departing their service. on this front i want to mention we are working collaborativety with all the or the cca's in operation and communities are investigating cca. this is the top regulartory priority for a cca program and working to make sure we have a unified front at the cpuc on this issue. you may recall in march there was a workshop at the cpuc very well attended. a number of the san francisco stakeholders spoke at that workshop. we are expecting soon a workshort report to be issued,
1:10 pm
that is pending and told it is imminent. we also spect there will be a comment period that will involve procedures. that is all i have so if you have any questions or relate d to the outreach effort. >> i have a question, where can i get more of these? we had a special question at question time last week, the big giant pumpkin ball we set up to the mayor to knock out of the board chamber and didn't quite do it, so i think we really making sure that at least from the mayors office as well we are getting the kind of outreach and viberancy robustness for a
1:11 pm
outreach program that wasn't indicated by his answering at question time. >> sure, charles new title today, i'm acting communication director for sfpuc but still overseeing communication and outreach for the clean powersf program. to your point on the mayor, last week or two weeks ago we work would the mayors office on a national cmcbc news story about san francisco clean energy goals highlighting and features clean powersf. the mayor was interviewed twnt or 30 minutes on clean powersf and cities other clean energy goals and the segment aired on cmbc and money nightly report. >> can i ask a question about that? >> did the mayor spend time trashing the program we killed 3 years ago? >> no- >> it would be off mesling to
1:12 pm
do that which is what he did in the board chamber. >> focused on the future and 100 positive story and that is what aired nationally on the news during the day. they did a live cut over from the sun set reservoir where they said we are here in san francisco at a sun set reservoir solar rea and doing more solar and cut to the [inaudible] about our 100 percent renewable energy goals as well as east hampton in long island about their renewable energy goals. east coast and west coast motif and was a fabulous story about the work we do in san francisco. in terms of the clings we have two clings, so we always do dual diligence andordser in bulk so if you run out of those we ordered quite a bit but it is best
1:13 pm
toordser as much as you can at once, so we have more of those if you need them. >> the goal is since every wnl is opting in, everyone can opt into the light green and the goal is get as many super green people to sign up. >> correct. >> what is our numerical goal? >> we committed to a 5 percent super green sign up throughout the year for two enrollments and as our director said, the super green sign ups are increasing every day and as we get closer to august, september, we will work with the department of environment using their in-house staff, their door to door outreach team to do some of just that in our next enrollment in districts 5, and 8 and do door door, some neighborhood canvasing and set up your ironing board at the corner to get more super greens and they will
1:14 pm
provide staff and people power to do that and we want to continue to move forward towards the 5 percent goal and so far so good. we are continuing to get those sign ups. >> the 5 percent goal was set because that is what we expected we could get or thought what we could only win for sign ups? >> we took a very detailed look at what other green power programs achieved with their 100 percent renewinable energy sign ups. we looked at smud green energy program. we looked at portland gas and electric and had the high bar for participation in 100 percent renewable and are at 12 percent but have been operating for a number of years. we did a deep dive analysis oon green power programs in the west coast are experiencing in terms of
1:15 pm
adoption rate for their 100 percent program and came up with what we think is good estimate, fifen percent and think we'll relook at it as we continue to launch but that the first estimate and hope to get as close to that and see that and with each new sign up we are close toor the goal. >> that is the short term goal. what does st. look like like 5 years out? >> 5 years out, i don't know if i thought that far. we want as many people signed up for super green as possible. our green renewable content will rise over the year jz i'll let him comment how fast it will rise but we are at 35 and that is on going to go up. we want to get as quickly as possible where the only product is 100 percent renewable energy or have different types of 100
1:16 pm
renewable so that is long term or medium goals. >> commissioner crews. >> thank you so much. thank you for mr. herns and shin for your information and sharing that with me. i don't want to get too in the weeds but excited to hear about next steps what is the communication plan look like? >> i did allude to some of the items earlier. we will partner with department of environment to do door to door on the grounds outreach. we have begin pivots to district 5 and 8 for enrollment and reached out to all the neighborhood groups and merchant groups to make sure we getoon their calendar for a presentationment . we also pert together had second round of enrollment notice. august is around the
1:17 pm
corner so do that as well. we will be doing a little more advertising, potentially billboards and in the muni station. the first enrollment wasn't suited for that because it was so small and for commercial business but with residential customers there will be a lotplore customers so it will be suit today advrertising in the billboards and muni. we are working on all those items now and then because we also have a lit lt more time and elude to this before, prior to august, late june and throughout july there will be more flurry of actaveyty on social media and vieral campaigns to get people to sign up word of mouth which isologist effective. i was at the league of [inaudible] they were talking
1:18 pm
about how word of mouth they told their friend and told someone and that is effective tool for super green sign ups. we are pivoting for the second outreach coming up and that will be a lot of activity. ioasked at the last meeting talking about how the supply is all local from the bay area and said we have something cooking and we did but two weeks later we had a mbc news story featuring siley wind project and our assistant went up and talked there and they were interviewed on camera and that story aired and featureed how the supply will be local so you can probably search for that on the mbc website. >> i have it recorded. >> very good. i wanted to
1:19 pm
follow up- >> it was really great. with the more consumer targeted communications will we see then the idea of the super green super hero used, is that the goal? >> yes, we are looking at using that images, there are icons for or first enrollment mailer. we were still looking at that. one of the challenges with enrollment mailers is we have to translate the terms and conditions into 4 different languages and that presents a bit of a mailer and information challenge so we want to use the super green super hero much more as we do more advertising so think you will see a lut more of that. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jason fried executive
1:20 pm
officer for lafco. to add what they were talking about for those that want the [inaudible] i have them. i will be at the harvey milk birthday celebration sunday put on harvey milk democratic club and more people wim have these for people that already signed up and you can pick it up there or find ways to get those that already signed up but those are mainly for those looking for super green. that is quhie i left one at each of your desks because you aurltd signed up. for those that don't sign up for super green we will have for the green. go to clean powersf.org/enroll and enroll now. outside the marketing stuff i have been helping with, lafco did a job analysis of what jobs look like. we did the [inaudible] report talking about the ability to create thousands of
1:21 pm
jobs with the launch of a program. some asked we are launching the jobs where are all the jobs and took a step back and said the 9,000 jobs was over a 20 or 30 year window and are not all created on day one. what is san franciscos programs looking at and what did the other programs look at? specifically on the construction side. how quickly did they get to their first projects built. what you find is the two bay area cca programs marin and sonoma on dione didn't have the project said built. a lot of other factors involve-sonoma got there quickly. lancaster got there quick but it sin the hot spot of solar. they can produce the best quality solar
1:22 pm
at the cheapest price, much better than the bay area. they have a much lower exist fee. they don't belong to pg & e and are in southern cam edison so they have advantages over the bay area, cca. the report looked and shows there are jobs that get created out of laurching a program and looked at the future potential as we ramp up and add more customers. how do we do that. we did the anal iss in the report and if you have questions i can answer it otherwise i'll leave it at that. >> great. thank you. questions from here? thank you for your presentations and your work and analysis. appreciate it and we'll go to public comment. any member like to comment sxh forward and we'll do fwo minutes per person. >> hello. [inaudible] 350 sf.
1:23 pm
thank you to staff for all the work and worked with them a couple time at sundray streets to try to sign people up. if you google clean powersf stop the shell shock was the first thing to come up and now it isn't on the first page but the things that do come up with clean powersf website and wikipedia entry which was written by stop the shell shock and i commandeered and rewrote and reedit until they gave up. i check td now, it is updated by someone with sane information but still not asf last fall. i think the puc should watch the wikipedia page. [inaudible] 1245 can go and
1:24 pm
write whatever they want and they used to. looking at the website it is a bunch of blocks. i think as we make this more consumer facing we may want to make the clean powersf branded a little differently than just the puc header with different content. really the thing i want to harp on the most is increasing the speed of phasing this in city wide and definitely talked to them about it and puc commission, but ultimately when we look at silicon valley and the peninsula they are phasing in their entire load in 18 months to 2 years and we are talking about taking a lot longer than that. punenz luis doing a third at a time so start with well more than our first two phases will add up to. i know there is-we have to buy the power but we have the customers and know that we won't get opt out more than we are
1:25 pm
buying power so just like to ask we do what we can. >> thank you very much. any other member of the public like to comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. i think our website is really critical the next few months so we can see how we can measure what is working along the way and make updates, that will be great. next item, please. >> item 4, final report on the stid oon what the city and county of san francisco can do to help increase voter turnout. >> jason fried execive office. we did a presentation last month on the draft report and received comments back and made edits. most of the edits are technical in nature. there were two
1:26 pm
areas where we did addition to had report itself. when i say addition i talk like a paragraph or two. on the vote by mail section we didn't discussialo county, they did do a vote by mail. something similar san mateo so added information about that and we did do there was a piece of legislation that was introduced at the legislative level we mentioned at the last meeting but not in the report done by assimbly member david chew. the rest is basically the same. it is good solid report. what i request from had commission is accept and file and i would consider that report at that point done and we move on to other projects at that point. >> great, very good. we do have mentioned around vote 16.
1:27 pm
>> yes, vote 16 is in there. vote 16 is mentioned in there. there are a lot of steps before that comes to realty though. >> that is great and great to see the presentation from youth commission and young people part the youth academy. they frame was around increasing turnout and consistent voting. okay, we go to public comment. any member like to comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment and this is accept the report? do we need a vote on that? >> mr. chair, before you take a vote, you may need to resend the vote to exkoos commissioner mar. >> we have been joined by commissioner mar and so let rr do this one and we'll resend the vote on the previous one. commissioner crews. >> i'm sorry. i just want to
1:28 pm
have a opportunity to look at the vote 16 section before we accept the report. is there any way we can wait until the next meeting? >> okay. >> i'm sorry. >> we did public comment so we'll move on to-we can resend the vote on our minutes? number 2? >> yes. >> so, motion to resend from commissioner crews. we want to have--commissioner mar. >> yes, please. thauchck.
1:30 pm
>> if we extend it for a year and decided half way through the year you want to change legal service we can do that. that right is always the commissions right to do. there is also one additional thing the law firm is requesting, they request increase of $10 per hour for each staff. you will see in the exhibit a new rate schedule for the staff that work for us. i have done research and analysis, we are at the high end of what legal services are paid for other lafcos in the bay area, we are not far outside oof it and if we throw that on top of what we were paying this year for legal service we are talking $500 more for the
1:31 pm
entire year, so it isn't that much more. we haven't had a raise in a couple years so it would be up to the the commission to decide if you want to give that raise, i have no objection to dpooing the raise and want to see us extend the contract. i believe this provides a lot of services we need and should have. i leave it up to you if you have discussion for the contract itself. >> thank you and thank you for doing background work to compare two other cca councils. i'm okay with the increase and like to extend the contract so in favor so want to vocalize that. open tupe public comment. seeing nin close public comment. this is live before us. commissioner campos. >> make a motion to approve the extension of the contract with
