approval that we could initially start to investigate what type -- just type of speaker we could have on this issue and dive a little bit deeper into what some of community benefits are. who sets the boundaries of the agreement, who monitors the agreement, what are the particular agreements in particular with hospitals, and if this is something you're interested in, i think it's something that i would actually like very much to explore within the lafco commission. >> supervisor ronen: and you're specifically talking about hospitals with nonprofit status who have an obligation of providing community benefits? >> supervisor fewer: yes. >> supervisor ronen: yeah, i think that's a great topic, and i'd be very interested in it. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> commissioner pollock: i think i would be interested also in exploring this topic

and hope that we could perhaps have a hearing at our next meeting? and perhaps i'm jumping ahead, so it might be item ten? but just understanding also from staff what our jurisdiction jurisdictional boundaries are under the purview of lafco and what it would like exploring this item, whether we would create a special district to study this item further. >> supervisor fewer: so i'm hearing some direction from colleagues that this is something you would like me to explore with our colleagues and also with our administrative officer to see what our boundaries are, our jurisdictional boundaries and making some preparation for the april 20th meeting. let's open this up to public

comment. mr. brooks? >> good afternoon, commissioners. eric brooks speaking on behalf of the san francisco green party, our city and also public net san francisco. so i would want to give a big thumbs up to what you just raised and note that it's very, as i'm sure you all know, it's very imminent. we have cpmc-sutter health that is basically shirking a lot of agreements that it made with the public to properly serve, especially the area where st. luke's is at in the mission. we're getting a raw deal from cpmc, and so we need to do something about that, and it would be great to have a hearing next month about cpmc about all of it, and how to figure out how we're not going to let these nonprofits, and people who make millions of dollars a year in their own salaries, not giving san

francisco the support it needs, especially when it comes to mental health beds, which continue to decline, except a couple of weeks ago there was one spot of bright news that we don't have enough. also on publishes, ownership of public resources, the public broad band internet issue is now very imminent. the mayor's office is going to move on it before mayor farrell leaves. that means we've really got to get on this. there has been a request for qualifications put out to various contractors, and their -- or that -- those request responses are in. so this won't take a lot of work on the part of your staff, but i would urge that definitely by next month, have your interim executive officer or if you've got a new executive officer by then, gather those rfq responses and documents so that we see where

this is going so that we don't get in a situation where we're stuck in a long-term franchise that's like a provide -- >> supervisor fewer: thank you, mr. brooks. thank you for your opinion. any other public speakers? seeing none, public comment is now closed. colleagues, we've heard from the public that i -- or he is in approval of our suggestion about investigating community benefits around hospitals, and also i'm hearing from the public that they would like an update on the public broad band. rope roen y >> supervisor ronen: yes, and i'd like to bring up i'm still very interested in two topics that we brought up in our retreat, which is cleanpowersf, and how we're going to build out the local program and

produce more clean energy in san francisco and all the benefits that come with us, jobs, impacts on the environment, etcetera. and then, the second item is my particular interest in a municipal bank because i know there's work through the board of supervisors that's happening around the municipal bank, but it's how potentially it could be a source of funding for affordable housing development, and sort of that ex-texpansion which i think is a unique one to explore. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i am also very interested in those two topics. are we in agreement for the next meeting, the april 20th meeting, that we would hold a hearing -- an informational hearing on community benefits with our hospital first? and also, an update on the public broad band? good? okay. great. do i need to make a motion for

that? >> sure. >> supervisor fewer: sure. i make a motion. >> commissioner calvillo: always good practice. >> supervisor fewer: yeah. make a motion that the next meeting of this lafco body has a hearing, conducts a hearing on the community benefits packages with hospitals, and then, also an update on public broad band. great, and if we can take that without objection. thank you very much. >> clerk: you need a second. >> supervisor fewer: oh, second, yes. commissioner ronen, thank you very much. >> supervisor fewer: so i see that mr. hyams is here, and let's go back to item number four. do we need to call that again. >> clerk: just for the public. item three is a community choice aggregation activities report. >> supervisor fewer: oh, item number four, sorry. thank you. >> so sorry. my serious apologies. got a little crossed up on the

timing of the meeting today. >> supervisor ronen: so did i, if that makes you feel better. >> well, thank you. thanks for your understanding. we definitely had it on our schedule but just not at the right time. but thampgs to the phone call that i received, i was able to get over here before the end of the meeting. and you know, given that i was here just a couple weeks ago, i don't have a lot to report today? but i do anticipate that at your april 20th meeting, i'm going to have a lot more to report? i think just given that caveat, just a couple things to discuss. i think our team is continuing to focus on the enrollment and expansion. in particular, we're finalizing contracts. i anticipate that we'll be conducting our first tran actions for the next expansions next week, but we are working

out some final touches to our agreements? so again, the next meeting i will be able to give you a full update on that procurement effort? we'll also give you a full update on our enrollment plan, and we'll also show up with our outreach group to talk a little bit about how we're going to approach the community with respect to the enrollment? i -- some other work that we've been involved with is in the regulatory arena, which is always very active for cca and for cleanpowersf. actually, this week, the city filed a rehearing request with the california public utilities commission on a resolution that the cpuc adopted several weeks ago that affected the way that

cca's filed -- file their implementation plans. this was to address compliance obligation that cca's had and to sync up the cca filing process with the cca requirements. the city filed this rehearing request principally on the basis of the fact that there really wasn't a record developed at the cpuc as required to issue this resolution, and it actually did create some very significant changes to decisions that the cpuc had adopted that laid out the process for cca implementation plans? so -- so that request was filed this week. we also, through cal cca participated in the preparation of a protest to a pg&e request

to change its collection policies for cca's, and their request was actually for expansive than that. it addresses other services -- providers that pg&e is in a collection role for? so that the changes -- well, i should just say, you know, to be clear, pg&e is cleanpowersf's billing agent, and that's established under statute. it's established, also under the tariff the cpuc has adopted. when a cca returns a customer to the incident vestor or utility or pg&e for lack of payment, the utility, if it's -- if the utility continues to serve the customer, hasn't disconnected the customer, they're obligated currently to collect on behalf of the cca until those funds are collected or the customer disconnects, at which time, the

debt obligation is transferred back to the cca for its own collection. so the puc has established a collection policy for such cases. so what pg&e is requesting is to truncate that period of time that they were in a collection role even if they continued serving the customer. so that's a pretty significant change. it goes beyond -- we think it's another procedural problem. this has to be addressed through a proceeding where a record is developed. pg&e is proposing this through an advice letter process, which is a more administratively rapid way to implement these changes. those are -- those are two sort of big regulatory things that happened recently. something that's been ongoing but wanted to give you an update is the california puc also opened a proceeding on the power charge indifference

adjustment on reforming it, and the city has been, you know in lock step with cca -- cal cca, excuse me, and our cca colleagues in requesting that the cpuc take another look at how this is done. so we're actually working on testimony for that case, and testimony is due in early april, in the pcia proceeding. what that means in terms of a resolution is probably a decision from the cpuc would be expected in the fall on this issue? so there's still some time to go. testimony is filed in writing, and then, there typically are hearings after a rebuttal process, and then briefing -- legal briefing, and then, a decision will be issued, so it's about a six-month timeline. this is the major regulatory events that i wanted to inform

you about, and i think with that, i'm happy to answer any questions, recognizing that we'll -- we'll have a lot more to report next time. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> yeah. >> supervisor fewer: commissioner pollock. >> commissioner pollock: thank you so much, mr. hyams for hustling over year. the regulatory body is so important because you get to see what's sometimes hidden in just that backdrop. i have a question that's unrelated to your update? which is the proposition a on sfpuc's bond structure and whether -- requesting bond. are any of those bonds earmarked for cleanpowersf with the hetch hetchy power rolled into the way that cleanpowersf is funded, i guess, in terms of

buildout? >> no, they're not. best of my understanding with respect to the bond measure, it's exclusive to hetch hetchy power. and one -- one point of clarification that's important to know is that financially, the puc has established cleanpowersf has a separate entity? so you know, the power enterprise has its own bond rating, so that bond authority would be under the general umbrella of the power enterprise? of course it is part of our long-term plan. i know you referred to cleanpowersf 2.0 earlier to abbott obtain a rating on its own. part of our, i guess i could say medium term financial plan and goal? we do think it takes some amount of time with a track

record, a performance track record in order to do that? we know that marin clean energy, mce now, has been working on that for some time, and of course they've been in operation for i think seven years. so -- and really, the best thing we can do to get -- you know, to get that going it so complete enrollment and have a couple solid years of performance to show to support a rating. >> commissioner pollock: great. thank you. i understood the -- the way that the bond measure was created, and sort of required because of the contractual and regulatory pieces of the contract that you had, it was a federal contract that ended in 2015? so i understood why, but i wanted to see how it fit together, if there was sort of asub dwsh-but

asub -- or if it is a road map. >> it's sort of asub map, and there is existing authority that the city has to issue revenue bonds for things like renewable energy, so it's a separate authority that's being requested of the voters. >> commissioner pollock: thank you. >> yeah. >> commissioner pollock: i know this is not even sort of tide on the agenda in terms of update, but it's helpful. >> yeah. >> supervisor fewer: okay. commissioner ronen, any comments? >> supervisor ronen: no. >> supervisor fewer: okay. thank you very much. okay. let's take public comment on this item. >> good afternoon once again, commissioners. eric brooks, san francisco clean energy advocates and californians for energy choice. so on the item that was just brought up, that could have infrastructure -- it could help build infrastructure that would

impact cleanpowersf, so it's not totally separate. also, it could help with the potential for us to get a public power like from newark to san francisco which would totally change our relationship with pg&e, so i think it would help in that process. i want to flag again pretty urgently for you ab-813 in sacramento. this is chris holden's bill that would make california's electricity grid change from a local nonprofit to part of a regional privatized grid run by berkshire-hathaway. this is the same one i mentioned last month. the reason i'm bringing it up now is we have heard from the grapevine and we have seen that the new language for the bill is out now and that it's going to move quickly, potentially, so if you as a body are going to recommend to the board of supervisors to oppose that

ballot measure, you would need to take it up, i would think, by next meeting at the absolutely latest. this thing -- if they try to move this thing, they'll probably try to sneak it through very quickly, so we'll need you to agendaize that next month, if you can, and reach out to -- the best person to reach out to to learn more about it is former cpuc commissioner low commissioner loretta lynch who knows all about this problem and knows all about the bill and can explain to you in more detail about why this is so bad and bad for renewables across the board. it would basically bring cheap fossil fuel -- >> supervisor fewer: thank you, mr. brooks. next speaker, please. >> 350 bay area. i was to first, i guess, second everything that mr. brooks

said and really encourage you to reach out to loretta lynch. i had the chance to speak with her on a conference call. the idea that energy could be led by somebody like that is unfathomable to me. but i want to appreciate all of the work that sfpuc did to try to fill the breach at the california public utilities commission which is really a huge cesspool. communities that don't have lawyers have very little traction at tthere. the pca hearing has been going on for years, so really just want to appreciate that. want to support the discussion of cca 2.0 or even 3.0 at this

point going forward, and want to just briefly mention as new cca programs come on-line, they have different program design options. east bay's program is going to be launching this year, and they have actually -- so their default program, which is let's clean the nars, and people are not happy about that, but it's 6% below pg&e rate, and they have this cool option called community investment, where you take the cheapy product, the default product, but you forego your discount, and that money goes into a community development fund, so that basically from year one, they're going to already be accruing money to do local build, because the advocates that helped setup the east bay program were seriously laser focused on local building, got a lot of buy in from their board because of workforce development, alameda county, so exciting things happening elsewhere that maybe we have

parrot one day. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. seeing no other public comment being public comment is now closed. madam clerk, can you please call -- oh, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: we need to take public comment -- general public comment. item number nine, general public comment. >> supervisor fewer: all right. we are opening it up for general public comment now. seeing none, but a friendly wave in the audience, thank you very much, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. the meeting is adjourned.

hello, everyone, i'm elaine forbes. it's great to see you here today. we're celebrating a 10-year endeavor, 12 years by some count, that has brought us here today to a historic day to celebrate the work that the city has performed with our partner, the san francisco giants, to bring a new mixed income neighborhood to the waterfront. we've also had the helpful support of many, many people from the community. we all know that the late mayor lee would have enjoyed being here today.

he was the biggest supporter of the city. he was an advocate for the project. and i believe there bear, he may have been one of the giants number one fans, so we reflect on mayor lee and his legacy and he would have been proud. this ace project that will help build a water front for everyone and deliver benefits to our residents for years to come. the residents of san francisco and the state will enjoy eight new acres of open space. the rehabilitation of pier 48. thousands of new affordable homes, 40% of which are affordable along our waterfront and much more. the project has created these benefits while recognizing the future challenge of sea level rise. it's adaptable to the rise and for us, it provides an ongoing source of revenue to adapt other areas for the waterfront and the shoreline tax.

this was done the san francisco way as a team effort. and we are not surprised about how many port tenants and three-time world champions san francisco giants led our team. thank you to the giants, to larry bear, to jack bear, to fran weld, to john and so many others from the hometown team for leading a gold standard community project. the giants are in the long game in this community and it showed. it promises a diverse community and in planning we heard from many voices on how the future of the waterfront should be prepared. that included the central waterfront advisory group. the mission bay advisory group. the south beach neighborhood association, they participated in every step of the plan. i see many of our resident stakeholders here today, including ms. katy la del, alice

rogers, bruce and so many others that participated. sonny schwartz is here today. there were many city agencies that collaborated. i need to say thank you first and story most to oawd, to ken rich, todd and adam. and we also will remember today jennifer, she had big vision for the waterfront and enthusiasm for the site. today, we recognize her work effort and can-do attitude. the mayor's office played an integral role in the project to support the benefits of housing, the housing program, the transportation program, and on ward. i really think that this project is emblematic of what with can achieved through a public-private partnership. when we have supervisor jane

kim. you were very dedicated to this project throughout and you challenged our team to deliver more affordable housing and we have done so. with a decade in the making, this project had the support of the mayor and now mayor newsom, the late mayor lee, acting mayor breed who helped us finalize, and now mayor farrell. mayor farrell has supported this project for two terms while on the board of supervisors. we're celebrating many years of hard work and welcome our mayor, mayor farrell. [applause] >> thank you, elaine. and congratulations to you. so, i'm excited to be here to celebrate the signing of this legislation. let's be clear, we all want to talk about the world series coming up here to san francisco.

i know, it isn't here, but i'm here to say congratulations. first of all, elaine, congratulations to you and the port team for all your hard work and to larry, you and your team for all of the hard work. this is emblematic of the best of a collective planning process we have here in the san francisco. this is a city agency willing to be creative with a ton of support and a willing and engaged local partner in the giants. to really come here to celebrate this today. but it's because of the port and the giants and their hard work that we are really here today celebrating what is going to be an amazing project. as you think about the project itself, 21 acres is going to be redone. 1500 new housing units, 40% that are affordable. congratulations to supervisor kim on her hard work on making that happen. [applause] eight acres of new open space. we're going to have teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers living there,

transition age youth is going to be living there. this is a big deal for the city of san francisco and a huge part of what mayor lee was pushing for in the housing units, that he has been pushing for as mayor. and transportation improvements. you think about the t third line, the $40 million, the new mission bay ferry terminal, which is an amazing resource for the neighborhood and million dollars for workforce development to make sure the children we have growing up in the neighborhoods, they can work in the neighborhoods and they're ready with the job skills they need moving forward. i'm here just to say congratulations to everybody. a number of people to additionally thank. mentioned the giants and the port. i want to thank the entire board of supervisors and president breed for all their work. david chiu for his hard work in legislation that he pushed forward that allowed it to happen. other city departments, todd, where are you? to john ram and planning, ed

riskin and the mta. that was a collective effort from the city family. as elaine mentioned, huge thanks to lieutenant-governor, alan and especially thank in closing to our late mayor ed lee who worked very, very hard on this for his entire time in office. and i just think he would be proud of being here today. congratulations, everyone. [applause] >> thank you, elaine, and thank you, mayor farrell. i'm larry bear from the giants and i have to say this is truly an exciting day for the organization. it has been mentioned, it was a decade in the making. i think maybe a little north, 1, 12 years, i was just sitting

here thinking nobody on the giants roster right now was actually on the roster when we started this project. i believe bruce was a rookie manager at the time for the giants. but really valuable, important projects are worth taking the time and being very carefully done. i have to -- there is a number of people we want to thank because they led with their hearts in making this project happen. they understood the vision, saw the vision and led with their hearts. it's a profound statement when a mixed project can garner 74% of the voters' support in this community, which was the case in the election two years ago. and unanimous support from every commission and every board. many of you we will talk about were part of that, of garnering that support and leading.

without the folks we're going to mention today, this would not have happened, it would not have been possible, come together. what we're really most proud of is the creation taking a surface parking lot, what we used to characterize as a wind swept surface parking lot and creating a new dynamic neighborhood from the parking lot which will serve as a central gathering place, a hub for the surrounding community, for the mission bay community. it grew on the expertise of thousands of created people, dedicated people in this planning process, including our neighbors. which we'll talk about. so leading off the thanks, i would like to thank the project team who worked hard, diligently, long, long hours, lending their expertise in urban

planning, engineering, architecture, finance, legal work to create this topnotch project that meets the values of our community. mention the neighbors and the community based organizations, many are here in the audience today. they've been a voice for the project from the beginning. now the city departments. the city departments have been quite amazing led by the port of san francisco, the mayor's office, economic and workforce development, the city attorney office, the planning department, dpw, mta, all unbelievably collaborative in their work with us through this long process. i want to specifically acknowledge port direct elaine forbes for her amazing work. commission president kim

brandon. where is kim? so kim brandon -- [applause] -- kim brandon unlike any of the giants players or bruce, did precede this project. i did a fact check, because i don't want fake news, 20 years on the san francisco port commission, looking at the progress and what happened to the port through her two decades of service. thank you, kim. and and finally the city leadership. a heart felt thank you to jane kim who authored the legislation and has taken a personal interest in this project from day one. huge thanks to board president london breed for her long time support of mission rock and keeping us on track during crucial moments. thank you to david chiu for spear heading the state

legislation that allowed us to do the project. and finally, i want to acknowledge our friend, our late mayor ed lee. very bittersweet here without him. one of the project's biggest supporters, with us from day one. we are eternally grateful for his leadership and support and we miss him every day. thank you, mayor farrell for making this historic moment for mission rock come true. we're thrilled to move closer to the ground breaking and realizing the vision of all of us here for this project, a decade in the making and now the fun beginsment thank you so much. [applause] >> hello, everybody, my name is london breed, i'm president of the san francisco board of supervisors and i am so excited to be here today. as a former san francisco

redevelopment agency commissioner, i know how long these projects, these major infill projects can take. i mean, but looking at mission bay and what we're doing with the shipyard and watching as this entire neighborhood change and provide more businesses, more housing, more parks, this is really a crown jewel for this particular area. i want to thank the giants for investing in this project, for working with the city, for working with the port. elaine, you're an amazing leader and i've got to thank kimberley brandon and the members of the port commission who spent countless hours listening to public comment, arguing over the details, getting the criticism and look at what we have here today. an amazing project that is doing something we need to do all over the city and county of san francisco. provide 40% affordable housing for low, moderate income

families in san francisco. how exciting is that? people who make up to 150% ami. when we think about it, that's a lot of money and it's not a lot of money here in san francisco. those families still can't afford market rate housing in san francisco. it includes some of the city employees. some of the ballpark workers. i want to see the ballpark workers walking across from their housing in that parking lot into the ballpark. is that a promise? yes. the members of local 2 and the folks who make san francisco such a great place. this is a wonderful day, i'm excited and grateful to my colleagues on the board of supervisors, including mayor farrell and i see supervisor yee and supervisor kim who will be speaking and supervisor jeff sheehy. we all care about making san francisco a wonderful place for each and every one of us, providing more housing, providing spaces like this on

the waterfront that are going to be beautiful and accessible to so many with parks and everything else, it's going to be amazing for city and county of san francisco. i know sonny schwartz has been a part of the project from day one, here we are, ten years later, let's make sure that the future projects don't take this long. thank you all so much. [applause] >> good afternoon, it is really incredibly exciting to be here today after the years as larry and mayor mark farrell have mentioned that have gone into making the project a reality. the portion of the project that i'm the proudest of, this is the first project in san francisco that has committed to a record

percentage of 40% affordable and middle income housing. [applause] and i really want to thank the giants for stepping up and being a leader for san francisco. this is our home team. and they've demonstrated their commitment to san franciscans by saying we're going make sure san franciscans get to live by our ballpark and root for us as we make it to the championship. i want to say that a lot of work went into the process. i should ask someone this, this is really one of the first projects that didn't use redevelopment, that built such a large percentage of units. households that make between $80-150,000 a year. i want to recognize the teachers union, the council community housings or organization, that helped us literally, number by number, over hours in the course of the night, craft a compromise

that would pencil out. and i want to recognize the port and the city for sharing the value that would generate the land that would allow more housing. this is a partnership between the city and the giants. i want to take a moment to thank our community residents who are also here. who have worked on the sidelines of this. to ensure this is a neighborhood that they want to be a part of. i see corrin woods, the chair of mission woods advisory committee. sonny schwartz. alice rogers. part of the south beach rincon. bruce, also a member of the organization. and katy who is not here, chairs the organization as well. i talked a lot about the affordable housing, but this is a mixed use development project

that is going to provide retail and small businesses, amenity, open space. the type of neighborhood that is inkredably excite -- incredibly exciting, providing amenities we need for the mission bay neighborhood. finally, i want to thank the city for all of your work. and the hard work begins now. we have to make sure we get the infrastructure in the ground so the thousands of units of the housing can get built. thank you, everyone, for making this a home run for san francisco. >> thank you to everyone. i understand now we have the honor of signing the legislation. mr. mayor and larry bear, president breed.

ready to roll. all right.

congratulations, everyone. [cheers and applause]
