customers over 8 thousand customer locations serving 73 active locations in addition opts out since i recorded on september 13th so we are holding steady added one .9 percent of our customers opting out from the main group our fall enforcement efforts are continued we've sent anti 67 thousand plus enrollment notices and experiencing an opt out of about 0.4 percent so far so it is quite low for this enrollment in fall it was like that when we started with our may enrollment 0 we're tracking if the first enrollment period i expect that number to go up but quite low and received one and 51 upgrades to

supergreen so that's a result of enrollment from 53 that i recorded on september 13th so a pretty nice jump over the two week period customers continue to sign up for the future enrollment we're targeting for the first quarter of 2017 we now have one and 53 customers that are executed up for that enrollment 75 percent are supergreen. >> so all good news and procurement at the last meeting several meetings i've told two other procurement to meet the requirements to for signed one of four especially xhivenths to meet the adequacy be requirement still working on the other 3 the second requirement a long term

contracting requirement of state renewable portfolio and no results to report at this time then to my third topic collaboration and partnership as we've discussed in our interests to collaborative with other cacs in california our operating and communications strategies have bang improved and informed by the collections we have with nc e and soma clean power and our voice in sacramento it has been strengthened through the partnerships we have formalized that collaboration in a nonprofit association the california community choice association or cal cca local agencies in october for the first formal meeting to share information and experience around planning and operating a cca planning program the

informal collaboration since the beginning is more formalized there that formation stay tuned and i'd like to introduce our staff just a moment to say thank you for funding those positions in our be budgets have gone through the hiring additional staff to announce today those are the power staff who positions appear in the clean power operating budget additional power communication and finance staff performed critical functions four cleanpowersf but were charge to cross the work order with the positions the power positions at least for example, appearing in the hetch hetchy you'll introduce folks from power and communications that actually are part of cleanpowersf budget so they're

consumer demand and electrical market conditions our financing needs and option and our operational readiness engaging with shareholders and the commission during the plans development and we expect to bring a final plan presentation to the commission in the spring so we'll be taking this information from the business plan updating that and enhancing with the experience in the program and engaging in an international plan that will discuss our you options how to meet the electric and higher renewable content and electrical and affordability and financial sustainability this will explore the energy resources this plan is a statewide requirement and

good utility practice we anticipate we'll be bringing this forward in the spring and then finally there is the policeman promissory note open programming and preemption we'll develop supply and demand response programs on the supply side those are the net metering material our feed in transfer program and cleanpowersf changes the potential community or shared solar program we talked about and on the demand side that the locally efficiency programming and storage programming and electrical vehicle promotion and weaning we'll include important tools it facilitate the participation in those programs i'm thinking of a great incentives on bill replacement tools that can help us the evidence will then show what

we're doing together with consumer equity, if you will, to expand the efficiency and the local build opportunity that cleanpowersf presents and again in putting those plans we'll be engaging with the stakeholders the operating cca colleagues, we have and the department of the environment staff and bring those program recommendations to the commission as their developed over the next 6 to 12 months any questions on that topic before i move on to the next that was a lengthy one. >> okay commissioner president vietor and the plans to procure a lot of power and make efficiency investments and charge all the customers including cca and commissioner

president vietor asked specifically how much renewals were part of plans they were talking about replacing the meg awaits we take into account at the condominium conversions with the puc they're projecting a good chunk 34 percent of sounds like and their territory service territory will be meet with the energy efficiency that is 40 implying what the hours and 70 percent of their sales to bundled customers will be met with the compliant renewables that is 1/3rd large hydro and 2/3rd's resources so that's a sizeable amount to have the g h g free achieved

through energy efficiency the final topic was outreach material is where he the incredible puc communications team they put together materials to share today i'll ask the acting director to bring that forward to you thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioner charles acting existence u communications director for the sfpuc we're excited we're embarking on the first major advertising campaign for cleanpowersf i'll show some of the expects to you shortly we're planning on featuring those pieces on the transit shelter in districts 5 and 8 only the billboards and then were going to close the advertising period with almost a complete buy out of castro street union station

pretty much every outside station advertising if that station we call it station domination that's the industry term so per commuter you take muni go to the castro street you'll notice the advisements i'll show a few of them this is wind and clean and supergreen the name supergreen leans itself to advertising to some catchy phrases we're capitalizing on that the next one is from the marital are you the next supergreen hero this is in our mailers in our mailers and talking about the program is continuity is important we have to send out the statewide mandated notices and then the

supergreen cutting our emissions to zero with supergreen we have two more we did a current article a couple of weeks or months ago it is a breeze so if you think a gm hail says the portfolio is we're featuring that heavily and the final one only you can save the planet cleanpowersf.org those will be translated into spanish and chinese and again, if you live in district 5 and 8 seeing them on billboards and transient shelters and the muni station. >> what does the small print say. >> it actually not that small those transit shelters are tie and the billiards are huge so below here the logo the sfpuc

logos clean energy is on its way to you on the advisements will be larger they're a little bit small on the escalated down versions is there any context information on that. >> the website cleanpowersf.org slash interslar to renovate, upgrade that's the primary purpose to push our website. >> and then in we're at the coal festival and this week the castro street fair and been to community groups in district 5 and 8 being in the neighborhood talking with the primarily the residents any questions. >> i have a question. >> sure. >> why did we select district

5 and 8? >> so we found over the past couple of years we did the research projects that the electrical customers in residential electrical customers in 5 and 8 will most likely stay with the program i don't have the man's but a couple of years ago the heat maps and the areas of city perform best on the surveys that was district 5 and 8 when we put together the plan or the enrollment plan a year ago we wanted to start with the places we knew that customers were repetitive to the areas with a low opt out rates that's why we choose districts 5 and 8. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioners any other questions or comments any public comment?

on this item >> okay. seeing none so we'll think move on to the next two items with eric and a budget update. >> can i have the slides please eric sandler cfo and assistant manager i have two brief presentations for you the first regularities relates to the budgetary report we've submitted financial statement to the auditors that are auditing the money map and followed by a kind of and recap of the financial

budget. >> first in terms of the q-4 preaudit major themes you've heard them water and wastewater suffered from the revenues as a result of drought condition this is significant so for light water infrastructure $57 million about 12 percent of total revenues $11 million or 4 percent for the wastewater intermits and $10 million or 5 for the power enterprise fortunately, we mitigated reductions in revenue with the productions many of them were one time in nature thank you - >> the good news that the financial results met all the policy target for the reserve and coverage. >> so the water enterprise as

i mentioned suffered from reduced revenues to $57 million the largest share was $43 million drop the offsetting uses mitigating the reductions were primarily one time savings to our fiscal year 15 funding that reduced the debt service and provisions as to set aside money for debt services $16 million for cut off and didn't use reserves the enterprise was down $20 million on the budget. >> the wastewater enterprise lower financial impact $11 million and we were able to balance that exactly $7.7 million was one time close

out - thank you. >> i'm getting a lot of help today thank you. >> and the wastewater enterprise ended flat the power enterprise has reduced revenues from lower sales to the s pb and a significant saved 18 plus savings in distribution salesforce that's primarily that's a reduction in the costs doesn't materialize to be what they expected but a function of north off the sounds like so reduction in transition cost is less than the 18 point plus in the line item but the power enterprise ended the year to the good siengsz we met all the reserve ratios and the debt ratios and

mindful over the next two years that we're still in a post it is your of frugality we're experiencing reduced revenues i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioners, any questions. >> i have one the memo that attached to this item says the water sales were one and 70 two plus how does that compare with what our budget assumes for the current year and that's our budget assumption. >> a little bit higher. >> okay. inch spoken to mr. sandler about one thing to pursue over the next month to raise to the commission a policy how we deal with any revenues that are

generated because we exceed consumption target my thinking we have assumed a level of continued conservatism if 124 is not correct that additional revenue can, a funding of the resource for the distribution programs that's a tip of the iceberg kind of description of my interests i want to make sure that that we continue to presto make our con such as this estimates really if they're not real they generate a plan and process how to take away a portion and put that into the conservatism program if we have a draft before the commission in the next two or three meetings

that would be great >> okay. thank you oh, and the other thing for cleanpowersf comment working capital reserves are $3. million what's that's part of what we are building up what is the end target on that. >> 3 months operating expenses that is 25 percent that's a little bit above operating reserve - $5 million. >> 5 modified so. >> so its - we're looking at a month and a half of results it results during the high margin part of year working capital low

fluctuate over the year i wouldn't look at that number and incorporate - >> sounds like we've made it twice over. >> that's obviously something we want to keep an eye on that was part of the trigger to think about what else we can do with revenue of costs are in terms of what the build out i know we'll keeping an eye on that. >> some do not will be more meaningful. >> any other questions or comments? by public comment or questions. >> mr. sandler appreciate your bio annual update. >> next item we've spent a lot of time in the winter and spring working on the bilingual budget the between a rock and a hard place that you adopted in february for fiscal year 2020 r 2017-2018 and once the budget

leaves the commission like the bill carton a life after commission adoption one of the things to report on what happened that is what this particular presentation and here the schedule here owls all the stuff that happened after the commission consideration and adoption after february '89 we submitted to the mayor and the controller and then i take the un - in march took it to the capital budget committee and recommended to the board of supervisors then in may both the capital and operating budget were reviewed the board approved the capital budget in early june and the mayor signed it in late june and the board approved that and

finally signed the annual appropriation an annual salary ordinance representing the citywide operating budget and then we will be submitting a formal budget to the government and financial officers association for review. >> just to recap you'll remember the budget priorities were about looufrn cleanpowersf you've heard about the launch for the last few months we're implementing the ssip and completing it increasing the pace of our meeting demands of new development and managing the impacts of drought now there were not many changes in the budget we had a couple of technical adjustment what we realized after it left the commission on february 9th that

our response to cleanpowersf enforcement was much grandchildren to opt out to the lower and the revenues and expenses to cleanpowersf were higher and now sufficient so for next year and on the capital side we also had appropriated money in the operating budget for long term modernization and many of those can be bond funded we switched from operating to capital and in addition, we had $5.9 million of developer contributions for the substation we added to the capitol budget these are the subsequent during the course and looks similar to

what you adopted here as you can see for fiscal year 2017-2018 we have it by wastewater and hetch hetchy and put cleanpowersf you see what the board submitted. >> what the mayor approved the net impact for fiscal year 2017 for the migrating operating budget and results in a no change to the budget for fiscal year 17 and then in 2015-2016 as you can see the impact of the increased expenses for energy purchasing increased the budget. >> on the capital budget here we have the two year appropriation by water and hetch hetchy and as you can see in the

first year an increase primarily because of the $12 million for mitigation monitoring and the $5.5 million for the water substation in 2018 no change so that's the recap of the process the punctuation mark i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> okay commissioners? >> we are just 0 refresher our memories clearly in the first year so the budget consideration of wastewater will be less involved in the 09 years. >> any mid cycle adjustment we see we think are necessary we'll be presenting to you. >> submit now capital extensions or projects every single year.

>> we try not to if we need to accommodate we can put them in the supplemental request and we try to follow our 10 year capital plan but do more rigorous capital plan. >> the point not to do the full on process every year. >> we'll talked about if i call it the off year to do a review of our various policies that drive the budget what are the plans for could go this cycle. >> we will be picking up that again. >> that's an opportunity if we choose to make any changes in the policy that gives us plenty of warning to feed that into the

next between a rock and a hard place coalition. >> one of the group of policies that drives the revenue requirement the financial policies we'll be considering as part of rate study we're planning to bring those sometime and doing work and hopefully present you a revenue and recommendation. >> okay. thank you. >> any other questions or comments from the public seeing none, we'll move on. >> so the next item. >> is 9 water shed update mr. richie. >> good afternoon steve richie assistant general manager for waters if i can have the slides please i'll provide an education

and recreation program first of all, for the water shed it is 23 acres of water from the spring value company in 19 thirty it includes the san mateo and creek water sheds and the feetdz into the san andreas reservoirs a fish refugee and the only fish and game for the this is the only finish and game refugee and it is part of golden gate bio reservoir this is a photo of water shed particularly showing the mission creek canyon and in decision with the staff it is

close to an urban area it is close to a play for the water shed management commissioner will recall that a management plan adopted in 2002 for the guidance the water shed includes maintaining improved the quality and public safety and provide for education and recreational compatible with other goals that clearly protecting the water quality is the number one goal and the commission adopted the water environmental stewardship in 2006 and the foundation plan was supporting the recession of species and their habitats there are 31 miles of existing trails in the water shed two primary north-south trails the crystal springs that is managed

by san mateo and the bay area that is managed by us as anticipated in the peninsula water shed we've been pursuing 3 trades it the bay area expansion and the noting santa ana dress and the improvements here's a map showing the trails the black dash lines the existing trails that run two linear courses and the dashed lines the additional trails the plan with the santa ana dress and towards the southern end and the chrysler springs on the right hand side of the map i'll talk about those briefly this is $6 million between

highway 22 and outside the water shed at the southern end the initial initiation of public review is market 17 for that we expect to complete the environmental review and start that project in 2018 on the trail by the end of 2018 and not anticipated federal environmental review but turned out there was a small grant we received from the state of california and turned out to have federal money we had to do federal environment in retrospect i'm not sure we would have done that the sonya affordable unit dress to be completed by december of this year and expect the construction in 2019 and this is a photo of the peninsula trail the ridge trail and this is open for the dos

recreational hikes and bikes another trail project one being run by san mateo parks in the lower crystal springs we have south of highway 92 permitted issues this is currently on hold they're trying to deal with dangerous species issues and east perimeter trails the county is working on there is one trail project that was not in the plan the whiteing ridge connection our their general manager plan not included in the plan in 2002 but made property acquisitions to make this more relevant this will go from the coast up to the ridge line on the northern end

of the water shed it is generally consistent with the strategy to sure k345r7b8 compatible with other goals keeping them on the perimeter of the water shed discussion are underway with the development of this proposal trail management is circling done particularly for the ridge trail again that is the dos led groups proposing to move to an annual bid system coupled with that because the permit that got changed requires the environmental review you can't change it to make that policy decision we're considering 7 days a week they're aware to assess the trail and trail use this is a program that is very similar to what the east bay

used for their mud trails in the east bay area so in summary we'll move forward with 3 projects identified in the original plan with the good bay area council and san mateo parks, the proposed renal and the new policies and opportunities we're looking at developing a local permitting system and with everything proposed operations need to be in the balance of the drinking water for the protection of goals there's been a lot of activity by a group to open the water shed to press for more opening of the trades in the peninsula the board of supervisors is considering the resolution urging did puc to open the water shed and report by next march on the current projects and possible additional proposals to open more water sheds again, the

board of supervisors resolution that urges the commission but cannot dictate what can be done in the matter that is being heard although i understand that supervisor avalos who is largely the sponsor is not able to attend the board of supervisors meeting it maybe put off today i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioner tang. >> on the surface i don't like it i see no reap to introduce more people into our waterproofing and i do that your primary concern is water and protection of so with that, said how is this permit just going to work. >> the way it is anticipated to work this is not flushed 0 out in detail yet is that you will have to register you'll

have to have the permit with you all the times similar to other things you'll have to pad the test to make sure you read through the regulations and responsibilities as if you can't pursues the permit with requested by a staff person we'll have folks patrolling the trails you'll losses the trail privilege for one year or 5 years or lifetime. >> any them be dos. >> we'll continue that program for sure. >> we'll have a combination of both. >> yes. >> not all will be dos. >> not all dos led. >> okay may i have the map in

chloroform. >> actually, i, assess the one here. >> okay. i'm just thinking about all of that stuff. >> that's all my questions now. >> commissioners. >> yeah i'd like to echo commissioner caens concerns the safety of water shed and by the exit of area is very important so i just want to echo similar concerns about seizing that area just because you can doesn't mean you should. >> did you see that the change that that change of policy is requires ceqa review. >> yeah. for the for construction the trail construction for changing the management approach to san

francisco that more open is for a permitting system. >> i know one way we first adopted the dos a program that was a very conservative approach and came out of concerns echoed this afternoon a lot to do with the trail complex between e train concerns trails about the trails unsupervised and the trail erosion that sort of thing i assume that was quite a few years ago i assume we have a rich history we'll help to inform our decision considering the conflict and other things to

make sure they're managed and that will be part of environmental review. >> that's correct. >> as well. >> okay. well, i think that is helpful when the environmental review comes back to us the kinds of things i know i'll be looking for and sounds like commissioner caen has similar concerns to make sure as we consider expanding assess to the water shed our first job is also experience the protection of the water supply for the city and for our suburban customers as well and that will have full treatment as part of eir. >> yes. that's correct i'll be remiss if i didn't point out i'm sure you saw a number of individual e-mails i think that doovk gives a number of e-mails from people that point an open

water shed and those are all dirt roads open everything tomorrow what's the problem a large number of folks that focused on the environmental impacts was a gentleman what very telegraph hill involved in 280 when it was constructed he has a lot of history of that discussion and wanted to make sure that his voice was heard and passed that on i think that was addressed to the supervisors and definitely pass that on to the board of supervisors. >> when we went through this before a lot of experience not only the east bay mud but the mull another one with an go extensive water shed and very different kinds of experiences they/had and we looked to and learned from them as well.

>> i reminded of a comment that one of the water shed managers made in the public discussion he said your community loves our water shed their loving them to death. >> i have one water shed person to radar guns to monitor the speed of water. >> okay a lot to think about i think my colleague this is a pubically owned asset and one with a particular purpose and make sure that purpose is protected as we consider the ways to assess we have some speaker cards molten. >> i have one last question who is responsible for enforcement the state park rangers. >> that's us.

>> we coordinate with san mateo sheriff's department and many from time to time architectural operations at the water shed to be cleaned up and removed about one a year something like that so we do a lot with the county and with calfire in the water shed. >> that's a richie question puc has a long enforcement arm that enforces the regulations here. >> they don't carry firearms and no formal relationship. >> the county sheriff's are deputized but not carry firearms but hand out citation and things of that nature. >> thanks. >> okay. i have 3 speaker cards marshall.

>> thank you very much i'm appearing here on behalf of the asking you audubon society i'd like to commend the commission on considering this issue i'd like to make a couple of points wards to this no one actually is really being deprived of the experiences that the water shed could offer without offering the water shed itself there are many areas within a short small radius of the city that offer those kinds of opportunities but the down side of opening the water shed on a limited basis history has shown that once you open those kinds of areas there's intentional pressure and requests for more opening more activities and so

on as much as mountain biking and so on this water shed area is a very important environmentally and ecologyly sensitive area a number of skaurgsz species that will be disrupted we have eagles and other types of sdaurgsz species in summary having pointed out those points there - the self-residence peninsula and visitors and tourist from other areas have any other opportunity in close approximate proximity there are trails on the east side that are miles long that offer opportunity to go along and no compelling interests in opening this to will you for

further degradation and fire issues and for example, if there were a mountain lion connotation in that area there will be issues related to degrading the relationship between predator prey and so on this is not a good idea maybe some people that want to open up every area everywhere but the commission recognizes spiritual sensitivity i urge you to do the same and the additional agreement on the water shed purposed by san francisco recognized those issues and that it shouldn't be open to more public traffic and i encourage you to you honor

that long term commitment and not on the water shed to more traffic thank you. >> thank you. >> lenny robert. >> good afternoon commissioners i'm lenny robert and speaking for green foothills in santa clara couldn't thank you for the opportunity over 50 years we've been promoting access to the bay and the development of trails as well as promoting the additional park lanes and most of parks and open space visitors in the - were largely due to the efforts of citizens including our organizations we respectfully disagree with the staff's recommendation for the unmanaged unoccupied and in this remote

area the ridge sort of other connecting areas the pencil water shed is a protected water shed and a refuge not a park and not contemplated as a park when the mission district had a park that's a different kind of place proponent are taunting the responsible assess i'm sure you're aware not everybody behaves responsibly and the final eir for the management quote although most recreational users consider themselves responsible a percentage will inevolving violate the assess and engage in illegal trespass and building of unauthorized trails a significant issue for erosion and sedimentation in the reservoirs and further one match

to turn 24 into is a discharge place the rim fire your paving aware of and other fires were started with illegal camp fires hundreds of trails throughout the peninsula for unrestrict assess two which we weren't of the sierra club and audubon and the native plant society and the committee for the green hills are the major organizations all support expanding the dos a program only 3 days a week and make is that days easy for people to use it and also were partner with san francisco and peninsula schools and 09 community organizations like latino extension to the sierra club that will help exclusive

the goal of increased assess and recreational access to and protect the celebrated water quality and seattle and other cities have educational opportunities in they're fully protected water sheds and san francisco, california do the same thank you for listening and thank you also for your comments i know that you have this responsibility take is seriously and we totally support that thank you. >> thank you. >> peter. >> i hope i got the pronunciation of that. >> don't worry about the pronunciation in chinese it is one sill building i'll peter i live in the southeast corner of san francisco and lucky to live there over 40 years never gorl gone to the peninsula water shed

and i never will go it is not a park and it is not that recreation area we have you're aware i'm sure 60 thousand acres of open peninsula open space people coming from the southeast corner run into huge the huge parks san bruno from san francisco heading south you run into the ridge and the mountains 60 plus thousand spaces of open trails surrounding the water shed the water shed is opted out by red tailed frogs and mountain lions and nature plant and sunflower and the gentleman from the audubon society mentioned if you have individuals going out

into the water shed loan what if they get attacked by a mountain lion who should be hunted down for that offense we opened the door for some political reasons oh, my god we've opened you it is meaning so many politicians think we need to open up more land i don't think that supervisors know we have 60 thousand acres of open space we need to open more land it is for to thinking we as human beings need to think in the 21st century is the 6 extension we're wiping out a number of species and think we need to protect land easier and other animals against the greatest ape the

human being we need to protect the land areas and say no, no, no stop assess instead of saying expand you know you are mindful people and conscious people i want to say that we have an obligation we're destroying all the continents ata's and americans we need to protect and make them off limits i is support the expanded dos programs please don't let people in unauthorized bring a family how many what that permit person bring 15 family members thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? >> any additional comment if the commissioners and i want to echo the last speakers comments my oldest daughter is a bird

specialist and knowing there are areas that are not meant to be assessable for birds i'll okay. if we don't see species in a period of time she's okay with that the specifically intended for public space and protecting the water shed and the bio areas means we don't allow the traffic flow not meant to be assessable i want to thank the prior speakers comment. >> thank you commissioners mr. general manager. >> so i have to other items on and on not on the agenda first, the marsh expire mr. richie will do that a fire broken out near moccasin yesterday.

>> again steve richie assistant general manager for wierts if i have the slides please there we go. >> the marshes fire broke out yesterday about 1215 or so the fires size is 9 hundred and thirty acres as of 8:30 this morning and close to moccasin it is away from moccasin a good thing not clear if any of it is contained not active threaten any of the assets no impacts on water and power deliveries we are contributing because the old school house is acting as the command post for calfire at the fire and very, very smokey in moccasin including inside of the buildings and what they call an evacuation advisory we could,

river i'll encourage the staff to look at under licensing requirement for that the increased flows are san francisco puc takes the burden of that 51.7 percent per the fourth agreement signed in 1966 unclear if 33 the water board imposes higher flows in the fourth amendment kicks in the interest of sfpuc to support the higher flows through the s e d and the control plan if it means that it will precede and preclude 51.7 percent opportunities for us to work together and most of all thank you for the great work and figure out ways to protect the finish and wildlife that needs
