well you know, let me tell you. this commission has bended to the democrats when they were in power. and this commission should stop even mentioning what is going on in washington dc today because we are the fifth largest economy in the world. but you commissioners haven't paid attention about water. do you know that every single drop of water that comes from the heavens belongs to all of us citizens. unlike what happens on the east coast. now, the gentlemen who are fighting for the fishing produce and resources, they

make a point. but missing in this equation is the voice of the indigenous people. what do they have to say? so that together you can report to washington dc in a holistic way. so commissioners, wake up. thank you. any other public comment on item 10? moving forward, madam secretary, the consent calendar summary, please. item 11 is the consent calendar. all matters listed here are considered to be retained by the san francisco public utilities commission and will be acted upon by a single vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission or the public shall request. in which event, the matter will be removed from calendar and considered as a separate item. okay. any requests to remove items

[voting] >> okay. commissioners, any new business? any public comment on -- there is no new business. >> there is no new business. >> i have a new business. >> i do, too. >> i would like to, through the chair, agendaize this question that's been raised around opposing the validale meeting,

the validale rider next meeting. >> and let's avoid any agendaized discussions. that's next meeting. >> yes. i did caution you there's not much more information than what i've presented today. >> the -- i understand. i don't know if we need more information. i mean, i've heard enough information at least to have a robust conversation, and we can take it offline as we're talking about how to agendaize it, but i this to take some action as a commission would be interesting, even if we have to debate it as such. >> clerk: to clarify, commissioner viator, that is an action or discussion? >> to take action.

>> twice today -- it caught me a little off guard today. twice staff was kind of indicted. first on community benefits and lack of transparency, and then, on the federal question, honesty and whatever. and normally, i'll be the first one to rise to their defense. as i've sitting here right now, given some of the things that i have pending that are important to us, i -- i'm reluctant to do that. there's times that i talk to harlan about it but i want to let my colleagues know where i feel i'm just going to be totally played. one of the things is this janus decision. it's going to be huge. i've been doing my best to articulate -- and that's why i didn't -- i've been doing my best to articulate the very clear difference between some of the folks that work for us that have computers and college degrees and everything else and

some of the folks that work for us that don't have access to those things. and when i'm talking to staff about the most progressive mechanism for on boarding people, they really seem to be coming from a place of no. i feel like there's a point in time of where they should be coming from a place of yes given how we promote them. and i'm worried because i'm kind of getting tired of being told wake up all the time, because i'm wide awake. you guys know me. i'm wide awake. i think we need to start calling balls and strikes when it comes to that stuff. but during the budget, i sent don an e-mail this week. two years ago i was talking about the lack of us having a workforce development policy, which is very important to me and us in anticipation of a bit of a downturn. we still haven't made much progress at all there. during the budget, i asked for

parcels of our land and what our land management plan was because they just don't want to find out that we have to give it away to some organization that may or may not be involved in political activity. and then, finally, this on boarding piece. but even the other day, there is -- and we're not taking credit, there is a preapprenticeship program that we're doing that i'm told we weren't doing with certain classifications, that we are doing, and i asked for a presentation to all of us because i think it's going to kind of dovetail into best practices, and that can's getting kicked down the road. i think i'm getting a little bit played by staff, but when it comes to delivery -- and i'll just keep going. we both have talked to members of the board of supervisors about this, we'll talk to the mayor about this, but i'll be sincere to my colleagues about

this. i'm trying to make sure that this commission and this director can be something proud of as the most progressive approach to the workforce, rather than needing laws that tell us we have to do more, which is what ab 119 is doing, it tells us we've got to do more than what we have been doing. i feel like we've got to work with staff that we don't want to be legislated because we're good policy makers. so i'll leave it at that, but i think we're ready for some of these things. i think the attacks on staff is something we should take seriously, and they're either with or without merit, so we should know that up front. >> thank you. >> any other public comment on new business raised by the commissioner? i think you can. >> the commissioner has a

question of staff. >> no, it's public comment. >> right. >> i mean, emilio got up and spoke. >> yeah. >> i mean, my -- >> i have a question for him, and i want to just remind you, we're only talking about new business, new agenda items. we can't get into a discussion of something substantive since it wasn't agendaized. >> well, there were allegations made today that i took really seriously that i'm not true if they are or not. we are basically called liars twice. i'd like to hear from michael, yeah, because that's important. like -- >> we probably can't have a discussion. >> yeah, we can't get into a substantive discussion. >> when it gets leveed, and we just get it go, i'm just sitting here, saying oh, we're just going to let it go. >> i think sometimes that's the

nature of public comment. >> yeah, but that was rapid fire, right? that was kind of rapid fire. >> well, this item, if you want, future agenda items, so -- >> never mind. >> okay. is there anything else? any other public comment? meeting is adjourned. thank you very much, everyone, for your time.

>> when i open up the paper every day i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about the planet i want to leave for my children and other generation, i think of what contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. ♪ clean power sf is san francisco's key way of fighting climate change by renewable energy and offering it to san francisco customers. i'm from the san francisco public utilities commission. the program came about with state wide legislation in 2002 to enable people to take more

control over supplies. i first heard of the program when the organization was advocating to launch clean power sf. what i'm most excited about, it's going to bring 100% renewable energy to my home and reinvest into renewable energy infrastructure and jobs. i had gone to a lot of street fairs and heard from the staff at the san francisco public utilities commission to sign up for clean power sf even before it launched. >> we learned about clean power sf because our sustainability team is always looking for clean operations. linkedin is the largest online network. there are about 530 million members using our site.

in this san francisco office there's about 1400 employees working in roughly 400,000 square feet. >> after signing up for the program we heard about the san francisco program and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. i'm the co-owner of the new wheel electric bike shop. we opened this store in 2012 and the new wheel sells and services electric bikes. 11 people work here in san francisco and our store is about 2,000 square feet. electric bikes are fantastic for transportation in the city, they're clean and green and you get places faster than any other form of transportation. it amplifies the power, it doesn't replace it. it makes it easier to get places by bicycle and it's so enjoyable and environmentally friendly way to go and more convenient in san francisco. >> clean power sf requires two

products, green, 40% renewable and competitively priced with pg and e. for those who want to fight climate change more, 100% renewable at $0.02 per kilawatt. >> i decided to go with the super greens, after finding it only to cost about $5 more a month to have super green, that's a no-brainer, i can do that. >> we were pleased that clean power sf offers the super green 100% for commercial entities like ours and residents for the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services for linkedin and now encouraging our employees who have a residence in san francisco to sign on as well.

>> clean power sf buys its power from renewable plants that feed the energy directly into the grid. >> there's a commitment to sustainability throughout the entire organization and this clean power opportunity reflects that. >> one of the wind farms we use is the shilo wind farm and that is large enough to be able to provide energy for up to 200,000 homes. >> our mission is sustainability, even though our bikes are minimal energy use, it still matters where the energy comes from and part of our mission in sustainability is how we run everything -- run our business. having the lights come on with clean energy is very important. >> the sunset reservoir has solar panels that take up about four city blocks covering the reservoir and the solar power

generates energy for city resources and clean power sf for residents participating in the program. >> it was easy to sign up for the program, i went online to cleanpowersf.org and i started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going to be switched over and it just happened. when i pay my bill, i still go to pg and e and i don't see any difference between now and a year ago. >> sign up online, just have your account number ready and it takes about two minutes and there's nothing to install. no lines are getting connected to your home. all the power goes through the existed power grid. >> we haven't had any problems with the switch over to clean power. >> it's super easy to sign up. our book keeper signed up online, it took about 15 minutes.

nothing changed but now we have cleaner energy. >> we see clean power sf as a key strategy to meet renewable energy goal, we have a goal of 50% renewable energy by 2020. currently we have enrolled about 86,000 customers across the city. about 20% of what we hope to serve in the future and in the next two years we'll offer service to all san francisco electricity customers. >> an easy way to align your environmental responsibilities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it and it doesn't really add anything to the bill. >> joining clean power sf is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change, receiving cleaner energy at low and stable rates, you're helping to support a not for profit that helps influence the energy grid and

produce more production. >> i would encourage any business to seriously convert to the clean sf service. it's good for environment, business and the community. >> you can sign up online our call and the great thing is, you'll have the peace of mind that you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. ♪ ♪

of the year awards but you deserve much more. i remember my first year as a reading recovery teacher i had a student who was a cute little 6-year-old but he was clinically depressed. he came from a traumatized background and i remember telling my supervisor i don't think i can teach this child to read. she said you are a reading teacher, teach him to read and see what happen. i was able to teach him to read and write and he reached proficiency and somewhere his self-esteem shifted and it was part of him turning the corner. dition to receiving the award that you are receiving, i would like to nominate you all for psychologist of the year, social worker of the year. [laughter] life coach of the year. [applause] event planner of the year. at vadvocate of the year and the

list goes on because any educator knows you are wearing some of those hats all the time and many of those hats all the time. appreciation comes in many form. today it is expressed in kind words and many generous gift. i want to thank the donor to made that possible. there are gift bags and there is beautiful posters and you will see what's in there, some surprise. we also give, we don't have millions of dollars but we do have thousands of members who stand together for your every day of the year and we are proud of that. appreciation can also come through the gift of making sure that you have time to do your job properly and each of you knows what that means in your own job. i have a particular angle i want to share with you. it also means in this world of

2018 making sure that educators are not spending time giving assessment that is are not useful for their teaching and sharing with you the information that the board of education received recommendations from a joint district family union assessment community which includes i limb natio eliminatie assessment, so brought we forward and that means less teaching and more learning. that is a gift to you of time. i know that is really stretching it, but i had to put it in. [laughter] one last form of appreciation which you are all aware, appreciation can and should mean a living wage, so i'm shameless. [applause] i'm shameless and determined that educators in the city will have a living wage from here on
