5:33 pm
up until june 22nd meeting i thought the public was notified and hope this never happens again, we don't have been in fact, the task force said if was no in their purview i'm surprised you're not prepared and building on an item that clearly says in that ordinance that you should not vote on something and have discussions and action without a preparation by yourselves well more commissioners had more knowledge and some only got to when they walked in and part of violation not posted also on the website when the e-mails went out and the person that does that sergeant, next item. >> kilshaw made clear i don't blame her, she does the best of our service the city attorney

5:35 pm
what i want to say today is that missing in our deliberations what is going to happen for the good of this city and county of san francisco is the premeditation of our youth and young adults every time the commission is challenged so to speak you refer to the san francisco charter the charter needs to be changed the charter needs to be change to reflect the times today's times all over the nation as far as i

5:43 pm
commissioners speaking pubically and posturing and stating who they want to be the next chief this is inappropriate we must stop right now we must show that we representative reform we must show we support transparent what i want to do the right thing in the eastbound selection of the next chief the chief i've stated need to be one that has a proven track record and is a viable candidate that will be of our interest to everyone i stand before you also extremely troublgd by the san francisco chronicle news article that reelevated some of the candidates locations of where we come from that is very concerning i know your concerned about it and again, i hope that your good evening to provide us with measurements that will help to explain has to how and where we are in the process and again,

thank you for 2350d me the opportunity to speak before you. >> thank you, sergeant williams. >> good evening and welcome. >> thank you my name is huey a local hip hop community activist in the community for several years and happen to be a friend of notorious there is a big issue of police training i'd like to ask chief chaplin when will proper police training into effect we have a systemic violence from police throughout the country i understand that daily city is different maybe protocol but hopefully push that through i believe that gregory by sfpd that is very, very strange he's 130e7d to be here speaking on our cause on our on
5:45 pm
behalf but suddenly his house is rated and now like i'll call this the super hero police are 0 supposed to be super heroes but cops killing unarmed black men an epidemic and a little been like this people blaming on cell phones that is a piece of that but lastly there's a sense of rage and hatred it permeates through the plod we have an incidents you you know white guys with guns threaten cops they're not killed they beat the case between the cops dealing with people of color and white people and so-called model minorities that is you know something that needs
5:46 pm
to be changed and police need to be changed and police culture changed you guys need to work on many at some point that is coming to a head i'd like to see the problem resolved in the most positive is position for both sides to get on with the business policing is a tough job but - >> yeah. thank you, sir. >> good evening and welcome. >> aclu sergeant williams said a lot of what was said in a letter from jeff adachi and jennifer and myself that appears in the agenda that i and we will leave this room not knowing the status of use of force policy and not knowing even though a impasse is declared and even
5:47 pm
though cops have basically labored co-authored restraint and the shooting of vehicles a bad practice we at san francisco still are living other than the policies that are labeled bad practices i'm really surprised on the working group your proceeding in the way your preceding it is very mystifying i believe that is sabotaging captain laid out a very infest and complicated program dealing with 2 hundred plus recommendations chief chaplin wrote a letter asking for community support those of us in the community and stakeholders who will have been working with you on this discouraged and i really am i was sure that was on the action agenda the fact your heading into closed session

6:09 pm
they did they saw their suspect get into a car driven by an individual and missed 17 years old a teenager sitting next to him and what happened was shots rang out several shots and she was mortally wounded they drove off and stopped on the boulevard and that's where you see that picture of her slum over and dead it in her car i know that we can't bring her back but think about what it means to shoot at a vehicle she was not a defendant an innocent bystander (inaudible) -

6:11 pm
that's why what is going on after the practice police do what they do their attorneys are the ones that get everybody off when we have to remove greg suhr then the city attorney were caught red-handed in you say that my son is at the bottom of the gate fates pirj that's deceit and use the technology cattle's to get off and statute of limitations we have a trial and my son graduated from high school and pro per for my son to have to grow this because of what the police did to him is ludicrous i hope that november 28th someone goes to jeff's office and sees that he is lying and helping to cover up
6:12 pm
police scuzzy have to posted sfpd tactical an youtube that corrections everyone in everything in the police reporting that means all the names are across the board crossed out we don't know who to sue so for the city attorney's for paid to cover up police misconduct is inappropriate. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening. >> good evening and welcome. >> thank you very much i'm here to practice saying thank you might surprise you but i'd like to thank you for all the things you tried to do like to thank you for forwarding some names of pro seismic chiefs to the mayor and deciding whoever you forwarded names to the mayor to select you can live with because you will i'd like to thank you

6:16 pm
good luck amen one candidate asked douglas mccartney advise on sending american soldiers to vietnam and douglas mccartney said no. you can't send american troops to a fight they can't recognize the enemy and since that time we mill transition our police and given them people to recognize as brown and black suspects we need a better alignment we want the police officers in the community to stay alive and prosper that should be our goal. >> thank you 34rig9>> next
6:17 pm
speaker. >> good evening and welcome. >> hi good evening jennifer from the coalition on homelessness as you know i was part of the stakeholder group talking about the use of force policy and i just want to review things a little bit and make some recommendations in terms of moving forward we have an intensive and rushed as you recall process to come up with recommendations around use of force that was a series of previous intervene meetings and work that was done there was recommendations that ended upcoming to this body that were approved and we're not put in place and waiting for the police officers to do a meet and confer with the police officers association it, it is in police
6:18 pm
officers association - in terms of having the least accountability possible when those processes go forward that shouldn't be in your interests it is a different perspective how to have an audible police department and public safety in terms of not using extensive use of force as well so we just want to strongly recommend because as we are halting those things they have policies that are the old policies that are currently in play we have for example, on the vehicle shootings shooting at vehicles happening about every 8 months in san francisco so you know we really need to move along and have a very strong use of force policy the department of justice is recommending a full ban on shooting at vehicles
6:19 pm
should be moving forward the other two recommendations is that came from the community groups should be moving forward as well us from the ebs coalition of homelessness interface with police officers we're particularly concerned thank you thank you, ma'am. >> next speaker. good evening and welcome. >> hello, i grew up in lake view ingleside area you know something i at ocean view park i was beat up in the early noticing by the police at ocean view park i mean it was just it was an all the time occurrence being seen you know what will happen to our music i know like ours is a moving the
6:20 pm
fact of the matter you know and it's been ongoing for so long and now instead of the abuse they shooting you know they really shooting and you know something this really has to stop because you know my niece and nephews is coming up i want them to say a normal life you know i don't feel you know that they have to worry about protecting themselves or being a place afraid to run when they see the police you know and if this was - the car was supposedly moving not supposed to be shooting at or no chase especially a residential neighborhood so they say if it was a high-speed chase you you know and it wasn't like a whole bunch
6:21 pm
of crime activist take place in the area you know so i wonder why you know this person you know was targeted and why his family can't see him this is never unheard of and what is really going on with the on wooits is in jail it is totally not right and his house got rated why? because he was a witness to the police nothing new nothing new so i hope we can make a difference if not maybe - >> thank you, ms. moore house. >> next speaker. >> >> (clapping.) >> >> good evening and welcome. >> hello, i'm barbara about
6:22 pm
being arrested actually whatever my defy divorcee share my rap sheet was not short my divorce was - i have nothing against the police you can only go with the reports put forth to you false police reports are against the law but some people get away with that but i wanted to say when they have like mario woods the officers look like a bunch of dummies they were all filmed to completely you have to realize our on candid camera everyone has a camera and could you please role a more
6:23 pm
professional they all subdivided their guns and what's the glory of bringing in a corps one shot will do and if they ever try to train the police officers to wound and maim and not shot to kill they can have another shot it fair charging mario woods was not a big imperfect boy type he had a knife but broken his arm or something thought is sort shoot to wound only is a request i want to put forward here. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening and welcome. >> good evening welcome again remember last i seen you going to have a more slogan make it
6:24 pm
happen chaplain i did not see you yesterday but with the new chief thing our assumptions it ed lee want to appoint whatever ed lee want we don't want i don't care you're cool behind closed doors we don't need our shrines we came today, the whole community of los angeles view this is a very important and strong statement you should take serious this is a community you may arrest 80 percent of them with trumped up charges didn't deserve to get beat like you heard the sister earlier i think we're going to doing everything we can we're organizing we're trying to get this together regardless of what
6:25 pm
your job you know restrictions or whatever you can do like with the hunger strike and everyone trying to show compassionate and humility like general concerns regardless of your jobs you should make our way over there and do something to make sure that brother is alive you know what i mean you guys tried to kill him not like the san francisco police department or the daily city police department you all have drinks together i'm asking you actually demanding that you somebody needs to do something about that like i said you may live off the brothers misery try to make some happen. >> thank you. next speaker.
6:26 pm
>> (clapping.) >> good evening and welcome. >> good evening i try to keep my appearances on a rare coalition it is pretty bad because last time i spoke we were choosing the chief the community had no participation equip for a few of you who listened to the community and take it back the community wanted to say a seat at the table to choose the next chief that didn't happen supposedly against the rules of this body i've not seen the rules to choose the next chief you have a poa that condominium i was in the room i work with the task force that negotiated with in in going to we'll not prohibit those protocols to come into play in our meet and confer we promised that what did they do they said we'll rescind that
6:27 pm
agreement and not agree there is not only a lack of trust of the community what happens now you've picked the wrong community because we have you've never seen a room full of black people demanding justice from the police department usually white and latino wanted justice for the community it - they'll willing to organize this case with mr. 34078d is one of the most suspicious cases i guarantee i see the footage they're claiming a high-speed chase and ran over an officer that over has a scrape on his arm something is wrong the only grace is that an sfpd not 1409 him a daily police officer that shot him that's our daily grace but i'll make sure we find the
6:28 pm

6:42 pm
6:43 pm
6:44 pm
pleasure to be with the chief and with our department of public health director to welcome you into the finest police department in the country and i know that because that is what you have chosen to do and i'm very gratified i could be here in front of you as you ago through this invaluable academy and training. really two points i want to raise. one is to thank you for making that choice. you can join any other department in the whole bay area, but you have chosen our city and i'm grateful for that. second is that today i especially appear before you to make sure that you understand what we are trying to do as an entire city with our police department. we're undergoing one of the biggest reform efforts in the history of this department, and our chief is leading that, and one of the reasons today is that you will undoubtedly be involved in
6:45 pm
many of our confrontations that other police officers do probably on a daily basis. and the trend has been that there are more people that are victims of alcohol and drug abuse, and will exhibit in many occasions a danger to themselves or others and you will definitely be called upon to intervene in those situations. one of the principles of our police reform that is going on today, one that i greatly value is the principle of the sanctity of life. you probably already have been receiving training on that. but you also will be trained in the practice called "receiving time and distance." that is when you
6:46 pm
are called upon, i think we'll ask you to do your best to create that time and distance for the purpose of preserving life. in that, i want you to know that the rest of the city is not simply asking you to carry the entire burden of that. ; that we're going to be partners with you the best that we can and one of those strong partnerships that i am and this administration is funding with the full cooperation of the police commission, your chief , all the management staff is to say that when you are asked to intervene and if you can create that time and distance with everybody's safety in mind, we'll then have mental health and public health experts to be at your side. so that they can do the specialty crisis intervention that you create the time and distance in order to have. we have got to work as a team.
6:47 pm
if we're going save more lives out there, we have to make sure that we have the ability to get some professionals to work alongside with you, so we can intervene in the sometimes very tragic circumstances and if we can get the mental health expertise with the people standing behind me, the crisis intervention specialists, they are referred to as our entire team train by our public health department to work in these crisis situations, we're going save more lives and ultimate ly that is what you seek to do in your profession and we want everybody's lives to be here. you will get crisis intervention training. you will be introduced to the sanctity of life principle, but in the real-street situations that we have, it's your ability to implement
6:48 pm
that in an effective way with the chief and all of the managers crisis and all of the trainers that are here. that we want to do it with your safety in mind and with the immediate people's safety in mind so we can gain that valuable, sometimes minutes to be able to introduce a professional. so that we can go on and perhaps save a person's life even more times than we have in the past. quite frankly, it has worked in no less than probably five situations in the past several months. and i was with the chief on one of those occasions, almost three to four hours in those negotiations and we saved everybody's life and everybody walked away. we need more of those opportunities, because there is drugs, there is drug abuse, there is a tremendous amount of mental illness and you can't do it all.
6:49 pm
we don't want to tell you to do it all, but you have an invaluable part of that process. so those are two messages. again, thank you for choosing the city and county of san francisco to work in and we'll be there to create more classes as more of our officers decide they want to have an even better life and retire and at the same time, we need to get enough officers to meet the challenges of population, and the needs of every one of our neighborhoods. thanks for being officers in the city and county of san francisco. chief . >> first of all real fast i'm with the mayor every wednesday and the joke you heard i have to hear those every wednesday when i meet with him [laughter ]so the sympathy should be flowing my way. the incident that the mayor was talking about wasing at market and jones and it was a support armed with a firearm
6:50 pm
and the officer showed incredible restraint and saves that mans a life. i have since met with the mother and father of the man's life that was saved and they are incredibly grateful to the san francisco police department. they spent about two hours praising our efforts, and giving us kudos for making sure that resolved the way it did. that is what we're trying to push forward and we all understand it's not always going to work out in our favor and things that happen that are well beyond the control of anybody wearing that uniform and we need to make sure we're crystal clear on that, but at same time, to approach every situations a life-saving situation. the department is moving in a different direction and we're trying to be at the front of this and not the back of the line. i just sat in an awards ceremony, voting process for department members to get silver medals and awards and most of the recipients came up in situations that they tracked about what they did
6:51 pm
and talked about using time and distancing in deescalation. one an officer was stabbed in throat on the freeway on-ramp and went for his firearm which he reholstered to baton because he recognized that the situation changed and the individual no longer had the knife and he had presence of mind to think about it as it unfolded. another situation a gentleman was sharpening a knife and had residents holed because they were too afraid and they formulated the plan of creating time and distance and they subdued him and took him into custody without shooting him. arguably a year-and-a-half, two years ago the officer-involved shooting scenarios pure and simple. that is what we're trying to preach and push today and the group standing behind me are meant to give you additional tools in the tool belt when you have those situation and the san francisco police
6:52 pm
department is proud to partner again with the department of public health on mental health services to the community and the san francisco police have worked with department of public health for years including mobile crisis teams providing assistance to child crisis services which helps youth in crisis. this new team of clinicians standing behind me isa valuable to san francisco police officers to support negotiators in the field and conduct crisis assessments and debrief persons involved and affected by incidents, and consult with victims and provide crisis services. they are going to also assist with our ongoing crisis intervention training program to help our officers improve their ability to recognize people with behavioral health problems. this program is part of an ongoing reform system that the department has undertaken over the past year and again, i'm talking about the san francisco police department being the lead, not following, not picking things up from everybody else. we were using a model that is still effective, but there
6:53 pm
is say better model. and our people are now researching that model to bring it to san francisco with dealing with people in crisis. that is part of us taking the lead. we're under a collaborative reform initiative review by the department of justice right now that we invited in. because again, all of these changes are meant to make us better. so i want us all to make sure we embrace it and look behind me at these white jackets with another tool for the san francisco police department to use to enforce the sanctity of life on the streets and save people, because that is our primary mission to preserve life. i want to introduce director. >> thank you you and thank you all of you and i saw you standing at attention to so long and you are so fortunate to be part of a city and part of a police force that are going to be at the head of many police forces in this country in terms of really understanding the impact of
6:54 pm
substance-abuse and mental health on many of the individuals that you may meet. behind me is a team that we have been over the last decade working very closely with the police, and coming to any incidents of violence and providing assessments and support to family members. we're going to be expanding this team with three clinical psychologists and social workers to work deeper with all of you and give you training how to engage and meet the needs of many of these individuals. and also, i have been on the calls and some of these interventions that the police chief talked about, and we believe we can really give you really important information about the background of an individual, who you may be negotiating with. and so we're very proud. i'm very proud of the team that is behind you in the white coats and i'm very proud of the team in the blue. and together we're going to be really providing you, i believe, some essential training and also support. and we believe that doing this together, we can reduce
6:55 pm
-- improve the health of many of the individuals who you are going to come in contact and reduce the incidents that we have at times when we have to be more forceful with individuals. so we look forward to this. we're going to be quickly hiring these individuals, and the police will be involved with this in hiring. so we have the right type of individual who will work with us closely and by the new year, we'll be really working closely and responding. in between now and then, this team behind me will be taking that place until our new staff is expanded. we're 24/7, and we're located in the bay view, but we travel throughout the city in order to provide these services. so i want to thank you for your attention today and we look forward to working with you, and proud to see all of you today becoming new police officers. [ applause ] >> we're going to conclude this and any questions that

do have an ongoing service with the lake merced pump station with electrical issues we'll be coming back later in december to ask for an extension of that project to resolve the issue the proximately costs has not changed the overall program is on schedule and budget that is played baseline earlier this year. >> and just to highlight a few accomplishments we did complete the final construction on the water treatment plant had a claim from the contractor that was successfully r0e68d through mediation we have the construction contract we were able also to finish final projects on the bay tunnel and the pipeline schematic upgrade and the other highlights similar
7:17 pm
to the past received additional reward in the lobby of this building a display of the wsip awards more than 50 that is something we wanted to share with all the accomplishments of the project team. >> moving on to the projects still in preconstruction there is really only one the castro project excited about the fact we'll publish the last ceqa document later this month on november 30th for the draft review and expect comments anticipated certification there that will go to the construction there pending the ceqa certifications and finishes about the same time as the replacement at the end of the program the other thing that is in preconstruction the new wsip
7:18 pm
projects we've approved earlier this year a corrections of items needed to meet the service goals promised under wsip so we'll initiated the designs and you'll see those start to go to construction in the next year. >> for the calaveras dam replacement, of course, the last project or the largest projects in the program we continue to make progress this photo with the dam on the left that is the existing dam and the red line is the future crest of the new dam and what i'd like to point out we started the dam itself we started earlier - actually, the beginning of october and placed the first list of clay in the foundation as you can see in the photo a couple of stock
7:19 pm
piles in the elevated one a great deal of that is a drainage material that placed adjacent to the ground material that the clay core of the dam i'd like to sodium in on that i want to highlight how tedious this work when you start putting in the clay core for the dam how clean is clean as you can see this the the stern at the walk with the dam standing to the side because everybody wants to be sure the foundation is clean to make a good bond between the clay and the foundation that is extremely critically portion of the project in terms of the dam safety now i'd like say that it is not going to be this tedious throughout the duration it will really when they first get started everybody is on the same page regarding how clean is
7:20 pm
clean before we move forward once everybody is on the same page that the pace starts to pickup, of course, a lot of handwork to make sure the clay is infected in the crevices and start using the equipment to bring this up as construction moves forward. >> that was actually, the first day with that photo right there we've recently completed the tower and as you can see the need to the original spring valley and the weather vein placed on top of the tower to be a portion of project that is capped off okay. so moving on to the alamany creek he wanted to show this picture from 1931 shortly after the construction when this was completed a dam that diverts
7:21 pm
water to the calaveras reservoir on the creek essentially expands the water shed to the reservoir and the tunneled that takes the water from the facility to calaveras is on the right-hand side behind the concrete structure on the right-hand side of the photo i want to show that photo you'll go out there prior to construction it looks exactly the same since 1931 i in fact, i was out there it looks exactly that like that with water pouring over the top of the dam and the reservoir so this is is a recent photo of the dam there in the creek bed the water flows from the bottom left corner up to alameda creek and the tunnel
7:22 pm
to the abutment and sierra club what we are doing building a fish ladder around the right hand of that dam to include assess of the fuel head into the water shed this project is moving along and this is a photo of looking down stream of the construction area that the dam is there in the middle of the photo and upstream what i see the new conduits for the water that is innovation to be collected on the right side of creek through screens and conveyed to the tunnel the project is most often along this concrete court prior to the one shut down will continue to the end of the program and one of the water storage recovery project the 13 well sites there 9 first

well as the water shed work. >> i'd like to at some point i'd like to get an understanding the where the contingency money and the prelims for the water shed that a great project i'll hate to see it compromised. >> we'll come back with the water shed center and have the monies how how it is looking like. >> thank you. >> i'd like to point out that this is a trend that we're seeing given the number of cranes and how much work is out there a lot of projects within the city not only san francisco public works but also the port mta, bids over the engineering estimate and also we're seeing fewer bidders they're to busy don't want to bid we were
7:30 pm
working on trying to resolve a settlement and you know negotiations not with the city but a private person to do work he was trying to get bidders and one didn't want to bid so this is really challenging and you know it is for me being with the city for 3 two years i've seen this cycle we need to try to figure out how we can you know position ourselves to at least be in a position you know where people will like to bid with us but the fact people are very, very busy we need to try to figure out you know we can maybe relook at our estimates to take into consideration. >> well, one thing there is not a lot of bidders so this is
7:31 pm
i'll expect if things are that tight you might have 56 bidders but there were not a few so keep an eye on i know at other times because of steel projects went up it is pretty clear reason why so i'll just you know - we need to revisit the center but keep an eye on the trends to learn from that. >> through the chair can you look at that. >> great. >> thank you. >> can i have a motion? >> so moved. >> there is a motion that has been seconded any any public comment. all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? item 9 carries. >> item 10 please. item 10 approve the
7:32 pm
specifications in the work contract in view of them of $29 million accomplice to the lottery quality and responsive bidder j m b construction. >> this item actually came in within the engineers estimate with the pipeline project part of the original wsip water supply projects that and this project will supply to m g d water when the project is completed we are putting out the - we are getting it done through the 3 construction cracks that is the third to do the pipeline work that connects the recycled water plant to little reservoir and pump station in golden gate bridge so the second contract that will be coming out for the treatment plant itself at
7:33 pm
oceanside facility and the third piece will be the pillage station reservoir in golden gate park we had to startle the contracts they'll all finish so we can get this done for the whole facility. >> is there any uncertainty about reservoir and pump station locations. >> no, because i think their modifying what is in golden gate park they've put in a reservoir their not fully utilizing i think most of agreement are being worked out and you may have approved them earlier. >> okay there's been some shifting of position within rec and park we're at the place to spend
7:34 pm
serious money. >> steve richie has met with them and this has not been brought up as an issue. >> commissioners. >> like to move the item. >> been seconded comment? >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? that motion carries. >> item 11 item 11 a working group on the cleanpowersf plant. >> ms. hale. >> good afternoon barbara hale assistant general manager for power first, i want to give a short update on cleanpowersf efforts before we go into the details of the workshop and talk about enrollment and activities on the enrollment we continue to successfully serve our customers our may enrollment i have no changes since the last meeting
7:35 pm
we're serving over 74 active locations and the opt out is 2 percent so we've opposing to stay there on november one we began serving additional customers in districts 5 and 8 customer accounts shifted to cleanpowersf with the november meter reads so by the end of november we'll be able to report what our customer base we expect is that 3 thousand we are currently experiencing on opt out percentage of one .5 percent for the fall enrollment group we received i'm happy to report nine hundred and 27 up grades so we've reached the
7:36 pm
milestone supergreen is more than one thousand accounts thank you san franciscans customers sign up our the future exploratoriums we're the fact of the matter go 74 percent are supergreen so that enthusiasm looks like that will continue which is great on the rates - the california public utilities commission will be issuing a decision on pending pg&e rate requests and transition rates we know will change the enacts to the hetch hetchy customers will be small and the revenue will be neutral with respect to cleanpowersf we are expecting the cleanpowersf customers to experience a small bill increase relative to pg&e
7:37 pm
bundled service and newly until the next pg&e rate we expect to be an increase in the spring or summer so there will be a period of time where we expect our raised for cleanpowersf to be lower but the overall built enacts because of the tci a that pg&e charges our customers will be a small increase the proposed decision from the california public utilities commission is expected later this month on the issue we'll have an opportunity to comment on that and definitely take that the subject property and the puc will issue their decision rates will be on january one i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> on those topics. >> i have a question sorry. >> uh-huh.
7:38 pm
>> will the pc i a question be revisit for the rates or. >> the pcia is a piece of california public utilities commission december decision yes and we are on the cpuc front and on the sort of cost non-bypassable charges we're active in a working group that the california public utilities commission established on the formal the pcia calculation and together with the other community choice agree grandfathe grandfathers - the methodologies will which was and next for the legislation season collaborating on what sort of changes to look for
7:39 pm
legislatively to address various cac and investor utility issues including the sharing of investor utility costs with pcia customers so the plaintiff cia methodologies probably will not be finished or revised before the meeting on the rates; right? >> that's correct. >> yes. >> okay. >> i'm sorry one more question that 70 plus if so how does that complete with cac. >> that's one of the tops will be addressed if you indulge me the presentation we're switching into is really to see you know the effort is all about seeing how to accelerate the program
7:40 pm
enrollment throughout san francisco you know back in december of 2017 we presented you with a business plan that business plan had some projections and now looking at how to accelerate these revised you we'll come back in the spring with that plan commissioner vietor you asked more information during the development of the plan and not land the plan on you in the spring this workshop will be responsive to that request with that introduction i'm going to turn it over to responsibility over to mike our cleanpowersf director. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. >> good afternoon. >> i might not be wearing a
7:41 pm
chicago cubs tie (laughter) before i start, i felt like i'll be remiss not to congratulate you in the world series the giants fans acknowledge that but i was roll call our work basically a year ago and you announced at one point weigh launch the program and the cubs will win the world series they happened in the same year anyway congratulations offering great the presentation is focused on reviewing the work underway on the plan.
7:42 pm
>> i'm going to start with the implementation approach and a consultant of the plan and finally i'll share some of the research we've been doing with the cac programs some initial lessons learned and the next step in the process. >> so this should be a familiar slide from the business plan activities and updates over the course of the past year the goals the commission adopted for cleanpowersf and we endeavored to consensus with the balance to those goals for affordable and reliable services for the portfolio with the lower green house gas emissions and invest our revenues in renewable
7:43 pm
services and jobs, all while providing for long term rates and financial stability. >> and what have we done towards chief of police the goals first, the launch of the program with rates a quarter of a percentage after accounting for the fees that pg&e charges the customers second you adopted energy portfolio for the green product of 39 percent audible renewable with lower green house gas emissions overall and third you adapted a tariff an electrical vehicle rates and recently approved the steps for the cleanpowersf programs and we'll feet we are staff our
7:44 pm
staff works on the tariff to be made available next year. >> as you may know cleanpowersf launched in may 2016 it became the second enterprise program of a single or county and lancaster is the on that formed in southern california all other cacs are transbay joint powers authority and the startup for an $8 million loan for working capital and also 17 line of credit to secure the transactions and we established cleanpowersf as a financially straight exit to provide the transparent to limit the financial risk on the power and
7:45 pm
launched that has a 50 megawatt opt out raised we're projecting the program will be serving 50 megawatts within a year looking like we may go 20 percent. >> let's see - >> my colors get messed up but to help to guide staff in implementing cleanpowersf the commission adopted 5 best practices that cover the product content and the rate setting and phasing and the supply mettle and the reserve - all the policies are summarized but the narratives are included in the
7:46 pm
december 8, 2015 packet the rates have to compete or beat pg&e and established rates are sufficient to recover the program costs, power supply sources are sufficient for the demand that the program has sufficient financial resources to meet the financial obligations, and that the program has necessary staffing and support systems in place this is another slide we've cycled from previous presentations this is the note
7:47 pm
that cleanpowersf is the major initiative offering service citywide is an 8 fold increase putting it on power with the revenue perspective twice the size of water enterprise from a customer account perspective the statistics are in the bottom of the slide the account issue is a function of more multi family dwelling meters for electricity. >> the goal the growth plan is to accelerate the pace of growth in a financially responsible manner that is the goal that established ourselves this effort to do so the growth plan must answer fundamental
7:48 pm
questions resolve restrident their suhr the program has the in the financial resources to increase it's power purchasing activities and organization alley handing growth and the metabolics to know when to hit the gas in terms of growth and hit the breaks for example the rate issues we were talking about before. >> will have holistic recommends we'll present to you this is a road map for program growth that identifies the environmental and economic benefits of growth and the additional power supplies to meet the city's goals a proposed schedule and approach to
7:49 pm
financing the additional power supplies and establishing the enrollment plan. >> and these boxes identifying the components the the subject property area of the components we're working on. >> before you go on. >> yeah. >> i have a couple of questions about you going on one the 17 credit when does that get paid back. >> the letter of credit is sort of the backstop it is available - the way it was set up it will only be used in the case of a termination when a default the city and cleanpowersf is in default. >> we've not entered into a credit arrangement. >> the letter of credit is
7:50 pm
j.p. morgan that instrument is available to the supplier in that instance. >> we're not going there. >> not at that point. >> the other piece as part of growth plan i want to flag it it came up before the actual product and increasing the greenness of that product question about natural gas and projections as the market continues to shift in renewables are more available and cheaper what that transition might look like. >> your anticipating a few slides from the slides don't address our questions ethic to claesht but as any questions for accelerating the pace i want that to be a component to alert
7:51 pm
accelerate the pace of the product while maintaining the product liability as well. >> i think that once we go through the rest of the other programs weighing we'll see they're able to accelerate. >> oh, okay. >> at the did it for a cost or rational for a reason. >> yeah. this is paramount to the growth plan we identified the goal as established itself as a vehicle for chief financial officer an environmental goals among others and the city has articulated a goal to contribution the electrical supply to one hundred green house gas emissions by 2030 and cleanpowersf is the means by
7:52 pm
which the city can really take action on that goal. >> more drarlg so that's going to be central to the growth plan and the gather source plan we do this year and every year going forward as market conditions change and the demand changes as well. >> okay. great. >> okay. so the development experience of other cpa's a number of slides summarizing the information on other counties have approached this the rates for the default electricity and the content of the portfolios the build out and compliery building and the approach to securing the financial supplies
7:53 pm
first how have the operating cacs been to program growth is this bicycle chart i'll walk you through how to read this chart fairly data rich this bubble chart is the growth and relative in megawatts the cac program is identified on the list and the year on the y axis they represent a phase of the program with the first bubble with program launch and the last added full-scale the size of bubble is the size of the program in megawatts and if it is a solid line around the bubble the phase is completed and a doted line indicates the plan or provacative it is difficult to see the doted lines are difficult and the megawatt
7:54 pm
values are identified in each of bubble sanborn map is the first program identified on the chart it indicates that the program launched in 2016 and we will expect to serve 43 afternoon megawatts that calendar year the phase one will be complete by the end of 2016 that's why you see the size growing to 63 megawatts in 2017 that is the first full year of energy on the phase one the remaining 3 bubbles in the green cleanpowersf sector which are for 2019, 2020 and 2021 show the additional phases projected in the december 2015 business plan to get to the citywide serve and you'll see two, that they are projected to be 13
7:55 pm
megawatts at that time moving to the axis to the right the relative size of the cac programs and the first one is the lancaster that reaches maturity already and soma and mcare in the process of addressing community with the next year. >> right in the middle of the project is clean energy that launched in october of this year and peninsula what you'll see peninsula is planning a rapid planning growth in the process of carrying the resources to meet the projected demand of the additional phases as of this date peninsula planning on offering services to all customers in the service areas in 2017. >> a few additional observations once the fall
7:56 pm
enforcement cleanpowersf will an as large as lancaster and on with soma around the same time in their project development it will be the largest cac given current conditions when full-scale and the chart also shows how fast the peninsula relatively to the cleanpowersf business schedule and accelerating that pays by 3 years i want to emphasize our growth plan work is examining how we can expedite future phases of enrollment so we can bring the benefits of clear energy to san franciscans a faster timeline and in a financially responsible manner. >> moving on to rates -
7:57 pm
actually any questions on the last slide no. >> i have one - at build out you're looking at a fair amount of energy being served by the cac program how does that relate to the size of pg&es service area. >> that won't effect pg&es service area the cac programs won't principally because that service area is defined from the vantage point - >> from an energy perspective pg&e has published the projections they see 40 percent of their generation supply service migrating i believe by
7:58 pm
2025 a 40. >> 40. >> how does that play into the pca. >> an important part because the issue at hand is that pg&e has made commitments on behalf of all the customers in the concept behind it is that the remaining customers are indifferent to customers departing for another service so it is important that pg&e is making the projections they'll saying they should be pulling back from making for commitments especially long term commitments to serve the customers that factors into the longevity of the cac over time to give cleanpowersf for example, we had customers depart pg&e shouldn't be ready to serve those
7:59 pm
customers and assessing the values take a snapshot want commitments of low migration for the customers departure and if it defines the cost ongoing obligations so again, it is important and it didn't necessarily effect the amount of pcia the amount is relate to the cost of resources that are in pg&e portfolio against the estimated value so what pg&e can get from the market in it sells those resources. >> are some of the resources available to us to acquire from pg&e or to obtain energy from them. >> pg&e has made the resources available for sale and issue
8:00 pm
offers and request bids pacific heights i periodically - up for discussion when it comes to how to manage the what we call the remaining customers indifference and fairness to cac customers and make sense for cpa's to buy the resources from pg&e. >> if they fit with our profile for energy we want in terms of the you know it is green house gas it seems to be a way of reducing their argument we can
8:01 pm
unburdensome of these. >> sure a strong argument for cac taking the contract costs there should be no cac costs. >> we'll urban design greener so some of those probably won't - >> yes. that's true the type of resources can be at issue. >> didn't you say the pcia wouldn't be affected and still be the same amount even if the customers migrated. >> the migration of customers didn't effect the sail of the pcia that's true i was trying to say if p cia started buying from pg&e their portion of the contracts that pg&e has secured on behalf of the cac customers and they were paying the
8:02 pm
contract price that pg&e is responsible for there would be no need for pcia. >> right. >> now the reason the pcia exists pg&e prices are expensive that brings the plaintiff cias prices up closure to where pg&e is. >> if they're losing 40 percent of their customers they should be pretty much less so the by cia should be going on dune over time what is included are long term contracts and much of that is renewable energy. >> they're still entering into but entering at a reduced rate right now because of the migration. >> that's right. >> well, because of market one clarification there the market
8:03 pm
for renewables has improved draeveng since pg&e has procured under the portfolios contract. >> but if pg&e didn't have demand bus customers are switching to cac they're not actually in the market at these prices. >> my first reaction when i saw the chart there was a lot of cacs radio auto out you expect there be be a congestion in the market that prices may go up bus of not only our prices but others. >> we're aware of and considering and alcohol monitor it is hard to anticipate now without having done solicitation refresher not seen the trend part of it, it is the state and
8:04 pm
the cacs are trying to build in any capacity on the margin our new projects and new projects are competing against one another to get those but there could be a pace issue where cac has won a certain amount of the renewable energy if their portfolios and others can't keep up that's one possibility and no anecdotal or no evidence at this time this is happening now. >> if i recall some discussion about trying to have the various cacs coordinate if purchasing the electives. >> so we'll have informal conversation how to coordinate and pool our buying power 80
8:05 pm
together i think you're aware the cac has formed an association recently cal cac those radio did types of topics that come up with discussing the policy and regulatory policies that cac is assessing and coordinating i think there is a a real opportunity for cacs to look at how they might collaborative through the establishment of the sort of service oriented gp n to have greater quantities to drive down prices and offer certain services potentially call service services for example. >> thank you any other questions on this slide. >> okay. thank you. >> precede.
8:06 pm
>> thanks. >> monkey off my back to rates so the affordability has on a hallmark of each cacs product at the time of launch each cac has offered lower rates at the time of launch, however, most cacs recognition they're not in control of the rates making the representation they'll meet pg&e for example, times running the rates i should be clear that the cost to mccustomers have exceeded pg&e when finding for the pg a not - operating cacs tend to have competitiveness rather than beating pg&e with
8:07 pm
they're marketing materials. >> this slide compares the operating cac default with the snapshot of the rate difference for the e-1 the standard residential rate schedule for the investor and utilities for the default products that is cleanpowersf screen products the out liar is lancaster as i want to point out this lancaster is in pg&e territory they compete with a different illustrate and a lower generation rate and as a result their pcia rate is lower that explains the big difference in relative costs the chart indicates that while s
8:08 pm
c e is 5 percent of their total generation rate pg&e pcia is 25 percent of the generation rate pursue the operating p - cac are offering rates that are all about 5 percent of one another one 5 percent of one another i want to point out that part of what we're doing with the platoon a studying the costs of our fellow xeefrts and to better understand the expansions to help to spread the costs that is something we'll do with the performa analysis and i will point out that our initial finds with that scaling helps significantly in recovering the
8:09 pm
costs. >> okay. so this shied is not showing up well, i apologize for that but this is a slide that compares operating cacs electricity portfolio with pg&e's and starting from the left hand it shows pg&e's renewable content with a y to 100 percent and pg&e's is thirty percent renewable and 59 green house gas emissions free with 23 percent of that source from uniqueer and hydro if you move right to the right of chart you'll see the operating cost the first one is cleanpowersf and those figures represent the best current estimate given the
8:10 pm
supply and demand to state of what our content for the green default product will look like and you'll see we're currently project by project our products to include 40 percent bundled bucket one renewable energy generated from california 36 percent green house hydro electrical sources that includes 15 percent aroused from hetch hetchy this year. >> and then 21 percent from other hydro traffic light supplies provided by the suppliers for for a total of 76 percent g h a content that 17 percent red there between and the other 24
8:11 pm
percent if cal pine generating united this supply actually provides green house gas emissions savings when compared to purchases from california i s l and that is 10 percent savings. >> how long is that california contract for . >> 3 years. >> so the take-home message is that cleanpowersf is performing well as far when meeting the goals to delivering more clean energy to our customers. >> again apologizes for the light coloring but this is a forward-looking slide and i mentioned before the major part of growth plan will be identifying the rate and quantity in which we need to
8:12 pm
increase our content that goal one goal to chief a g h g free this is the pg&e projection of the green house within now and 2030 difficult on the overhead i apologize the y is the portfolio coming from different energy types of and pg&e is project by project that will increase from thirty percent today to 53 percent in 2030. >> and it's g h g 50 to 73 in 2030. >> in contrast the doted line shows cleanpowersf renewable default product if it were to
8:13 pm
maintain the 10 percent margin over pg&e that's essentially where we are we projected out to show where we are at which is 63 percent renewable and then the top line the green house commended it shows the green house gas emissions squeezed out the cleanpowersf portfolio over that timeframe. >> the growth plan is going to start to lay out the options for meeting this demand but i want to point out we're conduct a plan that provides for specifics to look at the optimal mix of the resources is and that's will be over a long term a 20-year and we'll be updating that plan on an annual basis.
8:14 pm
>> can i - before we leave i'll be interested i mean, i said subtly in understanding maintaining affordable how quickly we can move forward and meet that 2030 goal going g h g free and moving go forward with renewable especially with the success of the program that that looks like because the climate is changing fast and it is incumbent to make sure we get to the other side of the bridge maybe go back and put that in that would be great. >> okay. >> just a few more slides that
8:15 pm
is the comparison the build out and the complimentary programs that are offered or - to be clear this slide shows the gaps we are telegraph hill trying to fill the cac is not telegraph hill developing a program to the best of our knowledge and that cleanpowersf doesn't intend to offer the program i want to point out about energy efficiency the customers have access to city administrative code and program for the programs and we're planning to make sure that the customers are aware the programs to assess being a cleanpowersf customer didn't effect their goiblthd we
8:16 pm
contribute to the funds of the programs improving offerings to specific to customer needs is a part of cleanpowersf programs future and again what this shows is areas we're telegraph hill staffing today the takeaway the largest cac program is the locate offerings here and cleanpowersf is implemented two, that meter energy and metering we're in the process of developing one the terrace a balanced payment plan and ongoing payment the staff is telegraph hill working on those today and we have to make the programs available next year. >> can i ask a question about the electrical vehicle rate how
8:17 pm
do you see that structured is it too early. >> what we've done as far the electrical vehicle market is a developing market what we've done is adopted the rates that pg&e is offering we have a complimentary vehicle rate that pg&e is doing and they're two options and those options are intended to support different aspects of the market both - but with the goal of charging at appropriate times we have you 36 tend to have a different profile they discourage on usage an area that will be cleanpowersf will be good grounds for policy making in the sensed as we better
8:18 pm
understand the electrical vehicle market and the customers needs cleanpowersf is tailor their rates for the time of use they con assume electrical vehicles are a sector of the market for demand response and it is something we can fill the box on the electrical vehicle side. >> so pg&e lowers your rates if you charge between 11:00 p.m. i think 5:00 a.m. but your rate overall is - we have electrical - electricity lower in that sense so i'm curious to see what that looks like down the line and car sharing hoping that electrical cars will be shared this is the best city in the world to have electrical cars and a later
8:19 pm
discussion other plans for charging for people this is the structure and demands but love to see that someday if so it practical. >> an area we're in active discussions not only for cleanpowersf but for hvlt public utility services we have electrical charging stations and are working across the city to look at the best practices for extending the infrastructure and bringing our green house hetch hetchy power supply to that market so i think definitely intend to be more information on that. >> thank you. >> i was surprised out how the electrical vehicle rate if you get the preferable rate mooifrns are required we're at home during the day and actually cheaper to keep it under the old
8:20 pm
plan i charge my car at night so for anyone that is similarly situations as us to the early morning hours and not compare during the peak it takes a different kind of structure. >> yeah. i think that you know it does speak to the evolving market a lot of research how customers use the electrical vehicles when they charge what they're driving patterns are, and you know, i think this is an exciting area for us for cleanpowersf to really actually move the green house needle further by not just addressing the electrical supply but also to address the transportation sector but i think another layer there will be looking at the cleanpowersf demand characteristics and aggregate and trying to direct consumers
8:21 pm
to the times that benefit cleanpowersf overal program from a financial perspective. >> okay last but not least we are looking closely at the credit requirements be associated with the growth all cacs have some form of financial support from the local city and county member agencies with the transportation authority or private lender had distinguishes out the usage of a lockbox of escrow account every other cac launched to date has utilized the lockbox to have the startup supplies cleanpowersf uses the letter of credit we discussed
8:22 pm
before and twerpt launching the cleanpowersf a year ago only a couple of suppliers with the box and the city of lancaster established the first multi party lockbox at the valet the peninsula adopted the multi party lockbox for example, and cleanpowersf opted out to use a line of credit to launch the program quickly and to be the best competitive we only have a couple of supplies and wanted to reach as many supervisors to get a competitive offer for the supply costs the lockbox has been critical to help to chief and plan by paid
8:23 pm
programs as a result the evaluation of the lockbox option will be a key program to our work going forward hello. >> okay. >> so what are how findings and next steps we're very much in the startup mode we can claim that the program has been a success thus far we've launched the competitive rates and fewer green house gas, however, we'll be bringing more information on the performance of the program over several months as the year concluded and other cpa's use lockboxes to secure payment to
8:24 pm
suppliers without injuring the cost to the supplies that is representative in the comparative chart with the extensively priced lockbox are a key ingredient for more radical scaling than cleanpowersf projected in the business plan which was really an organic growth using the program revenues and additional collateral through a letter of credit in addition to your consideration of lockbox arrangement re developed the recommendations and conduct further analysis to understand what the program financial reserve should be and adjust the program and reserve policies to get - give the program more time to meet them for example, and other renewable energy like category 2 renewables how much
8:25 pm
do we expect those to meet the growth rate a communication outreach perspective and power purposing and financial purchasing perspective and critically what is the staffing report to insure that we make no compromises in customer services and capability as we expand and with that, don't forget to join cleanpowersf. >> thank you. i noticed one of the bus stops in any neighborhood has a very nice large poster that advertises definitely it is very good. >> we initiated an campaign
8:26 pm
that includes the posters they're very nice. >> thank you, commissioner any questions. >> i have one comment. >> first of all, thank you so much for your hard work i know that commissioner vietor was a strong advocate and but you guys played pokeer and had to show your hand against an occupant that didn't have to this is very, very masterful i think that i wish chicago could have something like that this program the way you guys were aggressor aggressive and thank you for the advocates this is a great year thank you very much for your work. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> public comment. mr. brooks. >> good afternoon,
8:27 pm
commissioners eric brooks sf green party/our city/sf clean energy advocates. and grassroots organization of our city a lot of hats as commissioner knows i did a deeper dive into the baseball met for i spent a lot of time growing in chicago i am from california i used to be skeptical i believe in incarceration i've been waiting one and 8 years not only in my lifetime for the cubs to win the world series the met for is great what we've achieved with cleanpowersf and the cubs winning the world series that is
8:28 pm
fortuitous but the world series is taking building renewable efficiency and the focus it program needs to have going from this point forward we need to win our up and down the is not pg&e but the climatic change that will destroy that pg&e is a good picture for the bad guys but the bad guy is the climatic change like the baseball team to win the world series against the climatic crisis cleveland is apologizes to cleveland you have to have an entire team of 9 positions to win the game you can't just say all right i'll try putting out a pinch and try
8:29 pm
a shortstop and make them a catcher and maybe we'll add some outside fielders and base men later in the game if you do that you'll lose the game and again, the game is building renewables not just - we need to build local and other renewables so standards touch on the edges we really need to do focusing on getting all the players gathered and working together we have efficiency renewable and solar and wind and regional wind and demand response all those things being planned as a team effort in a network of resources all put together that all go out as a planned thing where a coach plans a game so
8:30 pm
we're getting the best economies and the berries integrations of the resources together and putting the whole team on the field is our fight again, the climatic change and beat the other team that's it cubs win. >> thank you mr. brooks. >> see i've always known he's a great guy. >> jason fried, executive officer. a whole heck of a lot it cover in 3 minutes i'll do my best first of all, some of the things commissioner vietor i agree we need to go as green as possible one our program has a restriction how we get our electricity are all the restrictions needed they're keeping us in the way of having a more money important build out
8:31 pm
and more money for efficiency and as well as more money to go out address find on the resources of renewable energy that work perfectly fine climatic change is an international thing didn't matters where the green house gas - we need to have a contribution into our grid but taking a serious look are we regulating too much where the electricity comes from that hampers our ability to get more electricity within the last week i got an e-mail about a program they're getting rebates for people and helping to pay for the installation of charging station within our property we should be looking at ways to
