and not in the way of business concert staff everything looked calm i'll continue to follow up we received a call about the cafeteria royal containment complaint of music from the complaint doesn't live close by and not being involved in any follow-up investigations i'll put that on my list for route patrol i spoke with the operator we planned on meeting this weekend an my old stomg grounds i looked at propaganda this past weekend there was some concern historically about the flow of patrons in and out noise

gathering for smoking and things like that i didn't notice anything over the past weekend temple has historically had good crowds on howard street i'm noticing a good security staff and good lines i do need to talk to them about keeping the doors closed to the front i'll be following up this we're adjourned about that and stopped by cal's irish bar that past weekend and it is a bit of a madhouse out there with one lane the traffic cars and ubers and their exit is a bit overwhelming i talked with the owner for quite a bit he was active in guiding the traffic and patrons and looking that while i was there we had a chat

about the difficulties he's had with dealing with just the general operation of the business on that street and the amount of people and continue to follow up and see if we can't figure out to make that has safe as possible and i followed up with 50 as well over the past weekend they have an extended hours permit i notice a few of their security from other establishment people i know to be good security and did a walk through one of the places since we've switched district and ton to a glow there interesting thing about 9550 if you have a live video feed -

>> isn't that the human video game. >> indeed. >> did they change that to 9550. >> it is 9550 what they're doing a called the human video game. >> we approved the permit now i on intersections you're absolutely right. >> thank you sir, i love being right. >> that's unusually usually the case i understand they have plans under the event it was private. >> oh, i see maybe we're both right that wraps up i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> actually, i the president to brought to your attention something i've promised last hearing attached to my meeting notices you'll find some information about hsa to as far

as the photos that were sent by the builder did go back to weekends ago and took are measurement not fined to be in violation bans the a.m. boinlt measurement 2, 3, 4 previous weeks i've followed up with the builder and the real estate agent for this property and now am attempting to act as a mediator between the operator ate the builder and real estate agent to establish a level where everyone is happy i have yet to hear back from the real estate agent at this point in about a week and i'm just waiting on that to take the next step. >> did you mention to the real estate agent that it was bizarre reare getting noise complaint from on unopted out premise.

>> i expressed did confusion. >> what did he say. >> initially when the complaint first came through i was under the impression that maybe there was some how can i put this - >> they were trying t t file traditionally sound grievance complaint once i realized the building was unaccompanied in talking to the builder is a situation he wants to know where we stands and what he can expect them so everyone is on the same page and aware of at what level and now that this building is in place so my goal is to try to come up with that unable i on intersections it's required by

the state of california to do a disclosure of value of the property i have one question about the temple. >> uh-huh. >> temple has been known to use dogs on the security line. >> they have. >> are they still. >> not this past weekend. >> they've used that. >> i discovered that last time that was the only time for me i've not seen that sense but not sure. >> yeah. >> you know how i feel about dogs. >> i have a quick question. >> uh-huh. >> i'm seeing venues i haven't seen on inspection are you guys approaching that or hitting it like extended hours. >> so this mellone the speakers name for the written record, and please

deliver it to the secretary prior to after hours. >> the complaint driven and the 9550 has been fairly in active and i on intersections this is based on the human video game they're doing goes in waves i noticed a listing i've been going through the new district i've taken over from inspector pauley using the sf station and website to try to get an idea of what's happening in the city and sort of organizing any weekend like that i on intersections we're your probably getting that by the fact i've not been in the district for a while. >> uh-huh. >> i'm trying to get a feeling what is going on. >> that would be great of that's helpful. >> i've seen the after housing

and their i've been out that way myself late. >> i want to compliment you on the nuking new formulate. >> it is really clean and easy to read inspector pauley. >> i'll take notes (laughter). >> and send along the template. >> great using video drops on your phone. >> good evening commissioners to respond to the question you'll s from the me in the next couple of weeks random drop ins we have not been in in a while non-regular stuff for the next month or two until we get through most of the inspections we did losses ended my list is kind of short i've been making contact are

complainants that were formally shawn was in contract contact with in the process of waiting for complaint and so forth and the projects getting ready to start the inspections. >> with that said, i stopped by one venue during the inspection process they didn't center a permit posted that was the issues i thought was well-managed and did a walk through so this was that a couple of compliance on 16th street just to get an idea of what is going on i've done that for the last couple weekends but that was an issue that issue was people congregating into the alley to keep an eyen it looked fine the knock out on mission street is another one

and that one had issues with leaving the door open during performance and there was a complaint i was dealing with that and decided it was fine the door was shut a accountant of follow-up on the last hearing i talked with monroe about the complainant is the landlord of the building next door talked to the complainant well and what they originally minded the complaint wanted sound at the time a similar situation the building is you think opted out i expressed basically, we don't approach it personally we want to work together to try to solve the issue rather than an enforcement action so initially when i talked to the building owner about a month ago they weren't on board with dealing

with the memo i made it clear that's right the route he agreed to a meeting so that's going to be be passed on to shawn we'll see where that goes the square so they finally took the speakers out of the wall the complainant is not totally happy but how i feel is that the venue after initial bumps and bruises they've gone above and beyond to try to appease the neighbor and eliminate the sound issue evident in the bar listening to the speakers on the wall but on the wall created a problem nevertheless, they took them out the complainant said it is not as loud in here unit she hears imaginations or things but utter is better they're in

compliance but at some point we might discover something i'll pass that off. >> did you take any reading in the complainant apartment. >> i did initial but given the sound level - i took readings initially last are summer in the process of permitting this time around when i was in the bar they were at 71 well below the 82 or 85 i knew that wouldn't be loud per say in the apartment. >> concentrated because of the speakers in the wall for instance, like kick drums and base not be a violation in the residence but the thumping is something annoying so i did not on intersections that i needed to do that i really didn't i

knew the issue i've heard the speaker noise iem to remove it into the wall. >> new complaint came through it was last week talked to the complainant after she called in and talked with maggie for awhile noah valley ministry a church our sanchez street the issue is noise from a couple of noise not entertainment noises and some possible unpermitted activity i'm not sure what their permitted to do through the planning department but after talking with maggie i contacted the planning department and didn't get back to the team they didn't get back to me about what their you allowed to do right now they're doing events they have ticket prices like 35 to

$75 not average church stuff like a donation not you know it wouldn't be a ticket thing. >> entertainment being. >> what kind of a band the flier said for the description said like a singer and a violin player this kind of thing. >> leader like a concert. >> basically classic. >> so the noah valley ministries and thai have been credibly activist in the community doing all kinds of fundraiser from hiv to hopeless dogs and loud in the k34u7b89 so something new running the place and we heard something new in terms of operation but really

they're the phases of an investigation and the complainant she's done a lot of reach but been there for 20 years just starting to be a problem for them. >> noah valley ministry. >> i talked to them today, i talked to the complainant today and since they're having an event it make sense for me to go out and talk to them. >> for the years they've been credibly good people i think. >> what the issue they had construction with the vestibular that blocks the back of the building i guess it was blouk a lot of noise i don't know what everyone did but now the noise is not blocked for the neighborhood being impacted by things that maybe were unpermitted before didn't bother anybody. >> so we'll see what happens

again i'll go out there friday is the confusion around the date i belive it is friday that is the date on the ticket whatever so - the neighbor said he'll have a sounds like consultant take reading so we'll see what turns up the main issue the unpermitted entertainment and if they need to get a permitted that's the first one after discussing that with the deputy superintendent wilder really the first thing. >> i have a question on monroe so if east-southeast complaining about the regular operations or after hours. >> regular. >> regular. >> so xraip about the after hours that was like a supplemental thing it is really quiet no matter what they do you know 4 or 5 in the morning or

whatever they start alu you're going to hear that in the property because - >> the dude didn't live there. >> he didn't live there i haven't twaukd him he might own the building in part i'm not sure about the division- >> not there after hours. >> no, not after hours he said he has someone that moved out because of the noise but a few different sources there is the bamboo hut a in the basement you can hear monroe the windows face over the roof monroe you hear but we all know the sound within you know 50 foot radius or 70 all contributing so we'll figure out what is going on and hopefully, they'll resolve it on

their own. >> without heavy enforcement work. >> great any more questions for either inspector commissions? ash all right. public comment any public comment? seeing none item 4 police department questions or comments anything tonight monopoly move on to item 5 the hearing discussion and possible action for applications for permits in the jurisdiction of entertainment commission 3 i'm going to turn it over to to the deputy director. >> the first permit application is actually a loudspeaker permit for an event called the detroit show on july 30th, 2016, at home sharer with or win with selma close to harrison in front of the studios

and the applicant is requesting to extend until 12:00 a.m. so wanted to bring this hear they'll have djs playing in the street they already have an eis cot permit and feedback feedback approving this permit you'll see the conditions attached so she's our applicant and done neighborhood outreach with the files and received no negative feedback about the event here to tell you a little bit more. >> can you talk into microphone. >> thank you maggie and commissioners i'm from halves we've put on an event similar no november we didn't need a loudspeaker but all the neighbors are familiar with us

and invited braurnd and they're supportive this event this the builders about detroit and different artists where an art gallery with detroit djs and food and we just got oures scott permit and been in touch with the officer mc2k07b8d who suggested we get 6 security officers from the security corporation and two, 10 b officers we're in the process of doing that's all. >> did the november event go until mint. >> no 11:00 p.m. >> so the neighborhood is familiar with having something go on to that late. >> yes. you guys didn't know. >> it was a brass band again,

no pa we didn't have a need to do it so everyone was fine with it, it is zoned commercial so there's very few residents that actually live there. >> tailor a few but they're all very aware what the supporters and come to the events and yeah. >> is that a public event or ticketed. >> a public event that is ticket as well we're blocking off harrison and have two officers on heron and ticketing on heron and officers checking people they have stamps saying they can come in and out. >> are you serving alcohol. >> yes. >> how do the ticket an event

in the streets. >> we sell tickets online beforehand and ticketed at the door. >> how do you do that for a street in the public street i thought that was not permit. >> they can have a ticket event but have to allow local assess all the time. >> i believe they. >> is that changed in the last year. >> i don't know. >> san francisco pride closed 16 blocks and can't ask for donations because you can't you know - i mean it is curious to me because i don't - commissioner frost do you have any ideas. >> no ideas. >> the use of streets because you did a street closer.

>> you can't block off the skulks i sidewalks i'm curious i don't know anyone else. >> asian art museum rent out for the civic center and the gallery so - because that is is specific about 3 permit. >> i was curious they received the permit in full detail. >> i just didn't on intersections you can sell ticket it's interesting to know if you could. >> i have no idea. >> be interested to know i'm asking out of curious. >> mural from the sfmta. >> right. >> direct questions specifically about that particular permit any other questions or comments commissioner lee. >> so those neighbors your nearby you said there are few

have you reached out to them with a heads up. >> any letters i don't see any letters. >> we actually spoken we have a letter we printed out and given to some people we're in touch with most of them you know, i on intersections almost on a daily basis we let them know ahead of time an event is coming up and invited them their seamly existed. >> i don't see anything in the packet. >> oh, with the letter. >> usually there's a support letter. >> there? >> yeah. we included the letter in the application. >> no, like feedback letter. >> feedback. >> oh, from the neighborhoods. >> feedback letter. >> oh. >> not your - >> it is something we have to have. >> so you'll stand into the

neighborhood that's so kind. >> we don't need that but helps your argument to know that the neighbors are not just there with ticket but can publicly say we support this our numbering complaint is a neighbor upset. >> my phone call is on the letter that they've been handed and they know me personally most of them have a personal relationship with them if any kind of thing their unhappy they know to contact me. >> have the read the police conditions. >> yeah. yeah, the 6 locations so it will be at heron for that one night and turn it down as requested. >> sure no problem. >> all right. any other questions from commissioners can i ask the one question to our staff did i guys

have any particular concerns or what is this out of ordinary >> because of the location and the fact have not applied for a loudspeaker to extend beyond 10:00 p.m. we want you to define. >> okay. yeah. >> well, that sounds like no major concerns ami open up for public comment any public comment on this particular permit no public comment public comment is closed. >> move to approve. >> back up with police conditions. >> yes. a motion to approve with the police conditions and a second. >> second. >> all right. vote. >> same house, same call? >> yep. yep. >> that means the motion passes good luck now the second

permit with the pie restaurant and launch the second is for a change no ownership for a lack of space for the lounge at post street and japantown their oriental on calendar back in october and a ran into an issue with planning but was mute a disappointment they had to wait the 24 months to come back they're here again their plans to have live music and come down i didn't shows you with the hawaii restaurant. >> bar they have done neighborhood outreach in the past and conduct more with the reposting only 10 days you'll see what is signatures from neighbors not many neighbors apartment building across the

street they reached out to other facilities i've not received option for the application and northern station approved this with the good neighbor policy the only condition here to talk about that more the owner and this is his partner. >> commissioners, thank you my partner is jeremy sorry so as far as the neighborhood support i reached out to pretty much everyone including the sundance movie theatre the most complaints we've pretty much talked to every single person that had issues even people that worked there in at past we have a pretty good relationship with everybody no problems with anyone we've had multiple

fundraisers with many folks 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

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

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 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 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 the police conditions are a good neighbor policy are you happy with that why not have a seat i'll open up for public comment by public comment nope public comment is closed. commissioners anyone have a motion. >> like to make. >> i move to approve. >> i second. >> there is a motion that has been seconded and at least take a vote. >> same house, same call? >> same house same call that that item passes good luck we'll move on to the game room our final permit. >> so the game room is going for the permit only fourth street formally was the drake

the owner plans to use this is a a restaurant with a focus memo cocktails and memos but the whole thing with the mechanical devices their thank you for the opportunity this into the retro arcadia spaces the owners reached out to all the businesses in the area you'll see whether the support and response i didn't receive any negative feedback and the police station approved that with the basic conditions more to talk about that a mohammed. >> thank you for your time basically in general a casual bar restaurant the focus on group share because they find it easier to have a higher quality of product with the arrival of other places where similar

quality we focused on you know 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

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

broke down the space in aesthetic fields so downstairs is more lively area and the upstairs is quiet we wanted to keep the game people happy a. >> are you serving food downstairs. >> we are. >> you are that's great people can come in and hang out and have drinks. >> are the machines coin-operated. >> they are when we say people we'll limit to 25 and older. >> your limiting to 21 and over and 47. >> yeah. >> just because why. >> for the safety of the - we have a restaurant that's a lot more sit down people mill around we don't want to mix in alcohol and children just a personal

preference. >> okay. >> 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 something we can bring into the training. >> okay interesting. >> all right. are you going for a poe. >> that's a place of entertainment permit. >> i think so. >> we're talking about djs and things like that. >> okay. >> any music placing in the bathrooms. >> yes. just plugged into an ipod. >> yes. >> great other questions or thoughts commissioners. >> in my mind the old arcades that were on market street years ago and the same people coming in that kind of is that what you envision or people coming in you know less frequent than instant. >> i'm not more confused on - >> there was - like on market street with the arcades the same

people everyday do you expect that to be your clientele. >> like i said they're looking gaming more as an accessory we take pride in our products and spent a lot of time on the drink memo and morning anything we want to be a solid business a solid place of business to add to the bonus of soma and our clientele will be come and go in the neighborhood but no means a big game community coming to the gaming. >> it will be easy to pick out anyone there to do their gambling. >> absolutely we keep an eye on on the machines for 5 thousand to $8,000 we are concerned someone tilting or pressing or hitting the buttons two hard and not had a problem

before even on our minds but 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 run arcades in the past. >> we have experience running bars and restaurant as well. >> where else. >> in san diego we started that like a fun dinner restaurant and maybe the restaurant of the year we got that award when we opened up the concept there and moved to sacramento and down here. >> taking over san francisco. >> i don't know about taking over. >> great if no further commissioner questions or comments. >> the problem with fourth street you have to create a designation with the arresting cads you're pushing the restaurant in that area is restaurant needs a little bit of help. >> you know we don't want to push the arcades with a trending concept worrying about what to

do with the products and service there are is a good amount of retained so hone in and establish a good food and drink place and fun. >> games. >> essentially at the end of the day, we are a bar and restaurant great. >> well, thanks i know thank you for research out to the neighborhoods they may say we have an issue hopefully that's not case we hope that the front line of defense is you and tussle to negotiate those terms. >> tshths. >> let me open up for public comment any public comment on coin opt game room all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. we'll move on to a motion.

>> if - one of our commissioners like. >> i make a motion 80 we approve. >> second. >> there is a motion that has been seconded i'm assuming with the police conditions. >> right. >> correct. >> okay okay same house, same call? >> yeah. same house, same call no roll call vote that passes congratulations move on to item 6 which is commissioners questions or comments commissioners any questions or comments? commissioner joseph >> so this thursday i'm going to have the pleasure of monitoring a panel on entertainment in the city so the name of the panel is sex drugs and rock and roll and the leadership of san francisco is an all-day event they're having it starts at the y i'll be and after hours stuff ahf they're

and happy to entertain questions. i brought the communication director charles sheen relate today the outreach efforts to date and looking forward. first of all, and perhaps most importantly i'm happy and proud to announce in terms of cca status updates, for the first time we 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. 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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. >> 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 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.

>> 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 doneresearch 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 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 the acceptance of increase described by executive officer. >> seconded by commissioner mar and take that colleagues without objection. our next items. >> item 6, executive officers report. >> at this point i don't have anything new to report so i'll yooyield to the committee. >> very good. we'll open up for public comment. any member who has anything to say to us about the executive officer please come forward.
