the program. [indiscernible] so who are you getting to the table to discuss that piece? >> sure, so that program as you know for the rest of the commission is being overseen by the rest of the school district, who is ha at the table -- the by area children resources who will be providing the educational work next year is actually coming to our next partnership meeting to meet with the partners to ensure that the curriculums they are offering is consistent with the rest, so working one message and we see this as a key part of safe routes to school offerings for the k-2 grades, that is goo.

>> that is good i am glad that you are aware that the bay area is going to be -- for this. >> thank you. >> supervisor fewer: what works well at my school is implemented a drop off zone and i have seen it in action at elementary schools where there are students ambassadors, kind of students who are actually helping younger kids get out of the car and escorting them into the yard so parents don't feel a need to stop their car and double park and triple park and walk their child in, but works smoothly with a person monitoring the persons come in and out and the

schools have the parents trained to do this and it has made a great impact around congestion time, you know the ten minutes before the bell rings they are going into the white zone and droppingoff the child and not triple parking as they used to so i want to give a shout-out for supervisor ye for putting some funding in that and now my schools are using that and it's been a big help. >> supervisor peskin: the department of public's health role in the revamp program is unchanged from its previous role with regard to evaluation and i understand that they have uc berkeley doing a study on ride

share. what else are they doing the ensure the maximum role of evaluation given the funding they are receiving as part of safe routes to school? >> with the budget that the obeg funded a good amount of staff resources is coming from the department of public health. as we have worked with them and discussed with them i would add the new wans to your comment they are now supporting the mta. >> you are the lead agency. >> we are and we will be developing in conjunction but we are responsible for it. ultimately ed resistance ki risn

call. we are going to be putting together over the next six months an evaluation protocol. the other way we will make sure it gets done on a more broad scope is i think our strengthened and renewed partnership with the skill district they are working with the top of the school district to make sure that they are allowing the school districts to be done -. indiscernible. teacher are -- a focus on what we are going to try to evaluate and get better data and our

commitment to report it out. you can't change what you don't measure and at least my program or the mtas are trying to report out on how things are happening. we will put out a report an -- indiscernible. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. thank you to vice chair tang and all the participating agencies. with that we will open to public comment is there any public comment on this item. if so please come forward.

>> will lead to the goals that -- talked about at the top of presentation, a mode shift away from private auto trips and increased safety around our schools on what i have of not just the growing number of parents that bike with their children and parents that walk and transit with their kids this does so much for kids across our city and we are excited to be a part to cover our sfusd public schools. i want to thank the agencies and nonprofits at the table and i would invite the commissioners to come out and see the school sites and see the work that those outreach and engagement

workers do in our walking school -- and meeting spot like the excelsior hub where parents can meet and bike or roll to school. i would invite the commissioners to join us. thank you. >> supervisor peskin: thank you for your work in chinatown. next speaker, please. >> good morning chair peskin and commissioner, my name is josie aaron and i am the senior community organizer at walk san francisco, a seven year partner. i won't echo too many of brian's comments but i want to thank t e sfmta and the school district and i am hear to expres express.

as you know the safe routes school program is san francisco's school program hoping to identify the barriers that prevent barriers from making healthy, fun, and sustainable transportation choices. we are really looking forward to having the noninfrastructure program under the umbrella of the mta so our goals are better coordinated and integrated. like brian said we do a lot of encouragement events and education events and invite you to please come out to schools in your district to see this fun work in a.c.

[bell ringing] thank you so much. >> supervisor peskin: thank you next speaker please. >> rachel hideth executive direcdirector of san francisco transit writers. want to offer strong support for this program and the enurge committee portion that we are going to be a part of. the concept and practice of encouraging youth is inspiring.

[please stand by] we look forward to a deeper involvement in this program. thank you all for your time. >> supervisor peskin: seeing no other members of the public comment, public comment is closed and mr. jones and ms. knox white will be checking in. that concludes this item is there any introduction of new items. seeing one is there any general public comment? seeing none we are adjourned.

>> supervisor kim: good morning. thank you for your patience as we waited to get on line. welcome to the treasure island mobility management agency. alberto quintanilla is our clerk. i want to acknowledge sfgov tv for broadcasting the meeting. mr. clerk, can you please call

the roll? [roll call] >> clerk: we have a quorum. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much. i will begin with the chair's report today. and i just want to highlight recently as we test out different technologies on treasure island that the metropolitan transportation commission, which i also sit on, effort to update the clipper transit fare payment system. clipper has made great strides in integrating bay area operator transit fares to a single fare

card but the system is decades old and in need of renewal and enhancement. clipper 2.0 is a critical opportunity to achieve excellent customer service experience, bring technology to transportation payment and improve administrative effiency for operators and agencies including timma. as we move forward with the next generation of clipper, we need to ensure that clipper 2.0 will be nimble and advance forward. new york city, who is going through a similar process, has chosen to do away with paper tickets altogether and introducing a mobile option for phones as well. los angeles is piloting a platform that allows passengers to pay transit and toll with a single account. we want a system that is able to integrate with other transportation services. i want to urge us to help ensure clipper incorporates the innovative ideas and ensures seamless transitions between multiple modes of transportation.

i look forward to working with my colleagues here at mtc to look at clipper 2.0 and making transit more convenience and affordable for current and future residents alike. i want to -- i apologize, mr. clerk. could you call items 2 and 3. >> clerk: item 2, chair's report, information item. item 3, executive director report, information item. >> supervisor kim: i would like to bring up our deputy director to present. >> good morning, eric cordoba, area director capital project. happy to deliver the executive director's report. let's start with the good news, regional measure 3 has been approved. that's good news for timma, especially when it comes to a potential $300 million ready and available for ferry, transportation, capital projects across the region, including treasure island. we expect funding will be available in early 2019 and we look forward to working with mtc

and the water emergency transportation authority on accessing this prague rachlt let's move on to the regional mobility as service opportunities. we've had discussions and participating with mtc and the bay area transit agencies related to the clipper fare payment system that you just mentioned. the clipper -- there's a clipper executive board that oversees the system's next generation upgrade known as c2. the clipper executive board discusses the role of the clipper system in supporting mobility as a service or moss. you will hear a lot of that term here over the next couple of years. month is an alternative to vehicle ownership where people can access shared mobility, with trip planning, payment and navigation. timma staff will participate in

follow-up discussions in that regard. we provided a letter of support just recently to the contra costa transportation authority for an application for federal transportation management, technologies, grant funds. the grant award would support the region alamos platform with initial deployment in contra costa. let's move on to water transportation, which is a major potential benefit here for the island. and that we as staff are starting it focus on. at its march 1, 2018, meeting, we authorized staff to proceed with an exploratory study of smaller vessel explorations. they would look at the cleaner vessels delivered relatively quickly for initial service for locations such as treasure island. from our perspective, treasure island is probably one of the

optimum locations to have a pilot in that regard. if you have had the opportunity to move back and forth between treasure island and the ferry building, it's only about a 10- to 12-minute run, so we think there's a lot of opportunity here. the study will be overseen by a committee of the board comprised of directors. we're working actively with a scope of work that includes treasure island as a case study for smaller vessel service and will participate on the technical staff advisory committee. let's move on to federal highway administration. national congestion pricing conference. there's a spotlight on treasure island. fhwa invited staff to present at the pricing conference at the u.s. department of transportation in washington, d.c. there was on may 22 and 23. the conference covered a range of pricing strategies, for

example, managed lanes, computer incentives and parking, pricing. principal planner rachel hyatt presented on overhaul of housing, pricing, travel demand management. the conference host has provided funding for timma policy analysis in the 2013-2016 time frame. moving on to local issues, we're right now actually planning a tour of the island for the commissioners. we had hoped to do it this week. the weather looked like it was going to cooperate, but we'll go ahead and do it a different day. so we'll work with your schedules, to do that, commissioner ronen, as requested. next item, advanced transportation and technology deployment. once again, the grant as reported, sfmta and sfcta have been awarded $10.99 million.

of that total, $5 million is being utilized by timma and will support the toll system design and implementation. $300,000 will support the piloting of an autonomous circulator shuttle on the island. at its june 29, timma meeting, we provided an update on grant award and are ready to move forward with utilization of of funds and are excited to that opportunity. related to that, staff will speak at the upcoming automated vehicle symposium scheduled for july 9-12. the annual symposium is organized by the national transportation research board and so hes yugs for unmanned vehicle systems international. on the project delivery front, as it relates to construction here, there are numerous construction projects that are just starting right now on yerba buena island. let's talk first about what was recently completed. as you all know, the efforts that we led the i-80 westbound

on and off ramps is complete. also completed vista point. we're working to make the vista point facility permanent. so working with mtc in that regard and also with the u.s. coast guard. we're really excited about that opportunity. future projects include mccalla road widening. and moving on to the next phase of work, the i-80 south gate road project, which we hope to bring to construction in spring, 2019, which transportation authority will lead. and, finally, to complete the roadway network, the west side bridges, retrofit of seismically 7 deficient bridges on the western slope of the island. we want to brung that to construction in 2020 time frame with the goal of having all of the major roadway infrastructure

completed by the summer of 2021, including the toling systems as well as enhanced transit, a.c. transit, and in particular initial ferry service. so that's the goal. a lot ahead of us over the next three years. and i'm happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> supervisor kim: all right. at this time, see nog questions for mr. cordoba, we'll open up for public comment on items 2 and 3. seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, can you please call item 4. >> clerk: approve the minutes of the january 23, 2018, meeting. this is an action meeting. >> supervisor kim: do we have a motion? a motion from sheehy and seconded by fewer. at this time, open up for public comment on item 4. seeing no public comment on item

4, public comment is closed. can we take a roll call, please, on item 4? [roll call] >> clerk: we have approval. >> supervisor kim: thank you. would you please call items 5 and 6 together? >> clerk: item 5, amend adopted fiscal year 2017/18 to decrease revenues annex pend tours by $2.1 million, action item. item 6, adopt the proposed fiscal year 2018/19 annual budget and work program. this is an action item. >> supervisor kim: thank you. i want to bring up cynthia fong, deputy finance administration to present on the adopted proposed

budget amendments. that's what's in my agenda. if it's not you, i can call up somebody else. >> cynthia fong, deputy director finance administration. both items were in past timma meetings. if it's the desire it have a full presentation, staff is more than happy to, otherwise, i can take any questions that you have on this item. >> supervisor kim: seeing no questions, we have the annual budget and work program action time. and eric cordoba is available to answer any questions that committee members might have on this item. >> if there are any questions, eric and i are here to answer them. >> supervisor kim: all right. seeing no questions. at this time, open up for public comment on items 5 and 6. see nog public comment, public item is closed. can we take 5 and 6, same house, same call? we do that without opposition. mr. clerk, can you please call

>> clerk: item 10, adjournment. >> supervisor kim: meeting is adjourned. adjourned. >> shop & dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their shop & dine in the 49 with within the 49 square miles of san francisco by supporting local services within the neighborhood we help san francisco remain unique successful and vibrant so where will you shop & dine in the 49

my name is jim woods i'm the founder of woods beer company and the proprietor of woods copy k open 2 henry adams what makes us unique is that we're reintegrated brooeg the beer and serving that cross the table people are sitting next to the xurpz drinking alongside we're having a lot of ingredient that get there's a lot to do the district of retail shop having that really close connection with the consumer allows us to do exciting things we decided to come to treasure island because we saw it as an amazing opportunity can't be beat the views and real estate that great county starting to develop on treasure island like minded business owners with last week products and want to get on the ground floor a no-brainer for us when you you, you buying

local goods made locally our supporting small business those are not created an, an sprinkle scale with all the machines and one person procreating them people are making them by hand as a result more interesting and can't get that of minor or anywhere else and san francisco a hot bed for local manufacturing in support that is what keeps your city vibrant we'll make a compelling place to live and visit i think that local business is the lifeblood of san francisco and a vibrant community >> my biggest take away is that you can always find a way. most people who go into public policies really want to make a

difference and have a positive impact on the world, and that's what i love most about my job. i feel like every day at the sfpuc all of the policies that we're involved in have major impacts on people's lives both here in the city and across the state and the nation. in 2017, california senate bill 649 was released. it would have capped the fees that cities such as ourselves would be able to charge telecom companies for the right to use or poll for their cell equipments, and it also would have taken away city's abilities to negotiate what the equipment looks like, where they could be placed, and potentially we could even be in a position where we would not be able to stop them putting equipment especially on our light poles. my name is emily lamb and i am director of policy affairs for the sfpuc. i really am involved with a team of people and building a

strong coalition of a team of folks. we are working very closely to get this bill defeated and ultimately vetoed by governor brown. >> emily is one of those people who is a bright star with regards to her passion, her commitment, her tenacity and she's just a great, fun person. she's all of the things that you would want in an employee and an ambassador for our organization. >> my biggest take away is you can always find a way, especially when something is important and worth fighting for, if you put your heads together with people, and you collaborate, that usually you can find some solution to get to your goal. in this case, it was a bill that most people considered politically difficult to complete, and we didn't have a chance of doing it, but with a

lot of strattizing with a lot of different partners, we got it done. my name is emily lamb, and i am the director of policy and government affairs, and i've >> hi, hi, everyone. okay. the meeting will come to order and this is june 29, 2018, special meeting of the san francisco local agency information commission. i'm sandraly fewer, the chairperson, and joined by commissioner pollock, and i would like to thank the staff at sfgov-tv, michael, and adrian starks for recording today's meeting and do you have any announcements? cloik silence all cellphones and any documents should be

submitted to the clerk. >> madam clerk, call item number 2. >> and any changes to the minutes of the may 18th meeting? seeing no changes, i will open this up for public comment. and are there any members of the public who wish to comment on item number 2? seeing none, public comment is now closed. is there a motion to approve these minutes? good. moved by commissioner pollock and seconded by commissioner ronen and without objection these minutes are approved. and madam clerk, please note that shanti singh has joined us. call item number 3. >> the community choice aggregation report and the status update on the cleanpowersf program. >> supervisor fewer: the public utilities commission. >> good morning and happy

friday, commissioners. mike hines, the director of queen power s.f. for the sfpuc. and for the update today i'm going to cover a few things and provide an update on clean power s.f. enrollment activities and service status to customers as well as regulatory activities that we have been involved in since the last lafco meeting. with respect to enrollment in service to customers we continue at this time to service about 81,000 accounts in the city and the county. our program opt out percentage 3.2%, that's the number that i have been reporting if are some time now and it's been stable. and our super green upgrade rate is 4.2%, which is stable although growing. and so everything is moving quite well. as i've also reported in previous meetings or at previous

meetings, we're in the midst of a large enrollment. we've now sent two of our four enrollment notices as required by state law to the approximately 27,000 accounts that will be enrolled beginning next month. in fact, next week will be the beginning of the process to clean power s.f. and that will continue throughout the month of july during those customers regular meteor dates of p.g. and emp. we had opt outs to our notices thus far. and our rate to date at this enrollment group is about .08%. and this is tracking our experience -- our experience from previous enrollments so it's comparable. and i wanted to report that cleanpowersf will mail its joint

rate mailer to customers. this is done in collaboration with pg and e and this ised third rate mailer that has been collaborated on. and i'll just bring one up on the screen real quick so you can see what they look like. so this is the cover and this is done on sort of a postcard-style mailer. and the flipside of it includes quite a bit of information, actually. and for context this -- this layout and the data and the messaging is something that has been worked through in

collaboration with pg and e and the california p.c. over probably a five or six-year period. and when we launched in may 2016, we really inherited the work that had been done but we did also work with pg and e to make improvements to it. and the box in the upper lefthand side of the page is a summary of the rates across four different products, including pg and e standard service, their solar choice and then also on the two cleanpowersf options so customers can see transparently how we compare. and i should point out this is for a residential customer under the schedule. we do prepare the comparison for every rate schedule that we're serving. and we send the mailer out to a sample so residential customers will get this e1 mailer.

and we also send sample comparisons to small, medium and large commercial customers. so that the rates are identified there at the bottom line of that first table, identifying what the average monthly bill impact is. so you can see there at the bottom line that the green product is comparable to pg and e service with a little bit of savings and the same goes for super green as compared to solar choice, 100% renewable. on the -- on the table on the right side, is a summary of power content. and you can see the different electricity generation technologies on the left column and then the percentages that -- of those resources included in our -- in the various electricity products.

and this is consistent with how we report our product to consumers under state regulations enforced by the california energy commission. and then there's some text there that describes, you know, what customers are looking at in as plain language as possible. so this is the joint rate mailer. they're going out to -- i want to say about 110,000 accounts. so we're sending them also to the customers who are enrolling. and then this time next year we should be sending it out city wide. >> supervisor fewer: yes. i do have a quick question. this is fantastic. i know that on the screen up there it's pretty small but i'm looking at the card which is easy to read with the font. is -- are people understanding what their energy choice is when they receive the mailer or we're

hoping they are? >> you know, we haven't -- we haven't received any i think inquiries that indicate that they don't understand what they're looking at. i think that it's been fairly digestible but to date we haven't gotten any such contact from customers. and admittedly we haven't done an assessment of that particular question. >> supervisor fewer: okay, i think that as a customer if i was looking at it and i would say this is fantastic, i'm a super green customer and i pay less than the choice of the pg and e customer and i can kind of see where i fall in the average monthly bill but if you don't remember, if you signed up or if you don't know if you have been transferred over there's not a "you are here." >> yeah. >> but i think that would be hard to parse out per customer?

>> one thing to keep in mind is that this is a joint rate mailer and it's not a marketing piece for us and that is an important thing to keep in mind is that we do this collaboratively and it's partly managed by the c.p.c. as well to ensure that it's fair and is it necessarily encouraging a customer to do one thing -- a or b? it's really intended to provide information transparently. >> right. and to make an informed decision about your energy choice. >> yeah, that's right. and, you know, it's certainly very helpful to have the transparency, right, because that's what the customers are looking for and we can leverage that and put that information up on our website and we can then tailor messages on our website around, you know you know, the ' choices that are available. >> that's helpful. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: i wanted to also say that i think that it

would be helpful for this to be in a powerpoint and a memo and copies for everything for all of the commissioners and also for the executive officer. i think that it's just would be easier for us to follow. >> sure, yeah. and i apologize for not being like that, but this was really hot off the press. i wanted to share something that really is news today. >> supervisor fewer: yes, i mean even copies of all of these for every commissioner here. >> yeah, absolutely. >> supervisor fewer: and also for our executive officer -- i just thought bryan turning his seat around and trying to read it and so i think that it would have been helpful to follow it with everyone having a copy. thank you. >> sure. i will circulate that after the meeting. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. commissioner ronen. >> supervisor ronen: sure, i was just wondering because it's such compelling information why you aren't using it as more of a marketing campaign? >> um, well, i think that it's

related to the fact that this is something required by law to be done in collaboration with pg and e so they do have a say as to how it's presented. but that said, you're right, i mean, we can use our media and our messaging to highlight that this is -- this is out there and available and what the results are. so -- and we absolutely will be doing that. >> supervisor ronen: the charts alone. i mean, they're the best marketing tool we have. >> and the charts are on our website. and so as i said, you know, this just got produced really this week.

>> supervisor ronen: just one more plug, i received clean power s.f. materials, the education and propaganda materials and if i received that chart i think that it would be the most compelling piece of information that i could receive. and so i would just ask to go to the experts, the marketing experts again and just say if we can make recreate the chart in a way that, you know, is maybe less information but makes the same point that that would be a very, very compelling marketing material to the extent that you're going to spend money on that in the future. >> sure. i will bring that back. >> supervisor fewer: i think so too. but i also think that, you know, there's a lot of text but i'm

wondering how we can also cross over to people who are not english readers in this because we could be missing a population. and then also do we have tabling events coming out? i think that normally during this time of the year there's a lot of tabling events that we do and are we using maybe a version of this info in a way which attracts a lot of attention to folks? and is easier to digest, quite frankly. >> the answer is, yes. we are tabling. we do bring copies of these with us, but i do hear you out that it can be dense. so one thing that we're doing is we extract the tabular information that summarizes rates and the costs. and we include that in our brochure which is a lot more accessible i think. we are also in the process of

translating our materials. we do have things like our terms and conditions are translated per city ordinance. but we're in the process of expanding our multilingual written communications. >> supervisor fewer: okay, that's great. commissioners, any other comments or suggestions? yes, go ahead. >> just as a quick question in terms of language access. does pg&e mark money o mono linl spanish, do you know when are sending english fliers to households that don't speak english? >> we only know if they request it. so there is a population that has requested, for example, translated bills. and so that only probably doesn't cover the whole population that could use it but we do have access to that.

>> okay. >> supervisor fewer: and also chinese media is really important, because i think this on chinese media, even on commercials could really be effective. it hasn't been targeted, this population has not been targeted. >> i know that one topic on the agenda today is the executive officers work plan and i think that this kind of thing is embedded in that, but one thing that i might suggest is specifically is some work together on preparing really for our residential enrollment where we're quite aware of the importance of this issue and being able to communicate what we're doing effectively to the whole population. making sure that -- thinking through strategies on how to do that effectively. it could be a great area of collaboration. >> supervisor fewer: yeah, i think that i will address this also in item number 6 actually, our role, and the executive officers' role in the c.c.a.

anymore comments, questions? >> i do have a little bit more. sorry. >> supervisor fewer: go ahead. >> i maybe teased you there with a little bit with distraction. i wanted to share a little bit about regulatory activities. and this won't be too long and then i'll be done. the -- i have mentioned in the past the pcia, that's the exit fee that pg&e can charge c.c.a. customers. and the hearings and the proceeding at conclude at this n june of this month and working with the city attorney and c.c.a. we filed briefs in that proceeding. we're expecting a proposed decision from the assigned administrative law judge at the cpuc to be published for comment in august. so that's coming up very soon.

and also i'm going to talk a bit more about this... in may the cpuc published a report on customer choice. you may have heard it referred to as "the green book." it's gotten some media coverage. the report raises questions about how the state will achieve -achieve -- its affordad decarbonization and reliability objectives as increased customer choice is occurring within the electricity market. and i think specifically that the report raises fears that c.c.a. and customers choosing to generate their own electricity, say, with rooftop solar, may compromise these goals. so the -- the report is raising an alarm. it says also that there is no plan for mitigating these outcomes from the cpuc.

and the report offers no solutions and it instead flags the need for unspecified regulatory and legislative change. and so i think that as you all know through reports that we have provided here previously that to reinforce that c.c.a.s are contributing to the three objectives identified in the report. and c.c.a.s must and do comply with state law requiring resource adequacy and that's a requirement to support grid reliability. and c.c.a.s are supporting the construction of billions of dollars of new renewable energy projects in california at a pace faster than required by current state law to meet our community's decarbonization objectives. and then as i reported to you the last meeting, we recently signed contracts to purchase energy from 147 megawatts of new solar and wind projects for clean power for customers. so that's our contribution to

date. and that will grow over time as well. and then, finally, c.c.a. has raised -- or -- the rates are lower than the i.o.u.s and the bottom line bills to customers are comparable, even after accounting for the above market costs that the utilities can charge through the pcia. the ccpu requested comments on the report by june 11th so we joined cal c.c.a. and their comments and submitted supplementary contracts for san francisco. they have the tools they need to manage these concerns and can address them through several of its many open proceedings. i will share a copy of those comments with the executive director as those are accessible to you. and the cpuc also held a legislative-style hearing last friday on june 22nd on the

report. san francisco is invited to represent our perspective as an operating c.c.a. on the affordability panel. we addressed three key points, our service is as affordable as the for-profit utility i.o.u.s. and c.c.a. governance is accountable, transparent and inclusive. and that c.c.a.'s value and prioritized social equity. and the cpuc concluded the hearing saying they intended to take action on the report by some time in october. we're paying very close attention to the legislative arena where it's very possible that something in response to the report may emerge. so we'll keep you informed as things come up. but that is -- that concludes my report. >> supervisor fewer: who funded this report? >> pardon me? >> supervisor fewer: who funded the report that you're referencing? >> it was prepared by the cpuc staff. so it would be cpuc funds which

are ratepayer funds. principally ratepayer funds. >> supervisor fewer: commissioner pollock. >> vice chair pollock: thank you, this is so important and i know that it's a full time to keep an eye on cpuc proceedings and it's important for cleanpowersf customers. as usual we're concerned about what happens at the cpuc and i am just i guess baffled sometimes by what's going on there. >> supervisor fewer: me too. >> vice chair pollock: does it have influence over cpuc or are you just mitigating the damage? >> well, cal c.c.a. is one voice among many and i think that cal c.c.a. is working very hard to

make sure that c.c.a.s voice is heard. i think that one -- one thing that we're observing through this process is that we think that it's very important that the state regulators hear more and more from the communities themselves and members of the community who care about c.c.a. service and customer choice. so that's one thing that i think that we'd like to also work more -- work together on to ensure. that champions of what we're doing are able to represent san francisco in these forums. so -- but, you know, the cpuc heard us out along with others. there's some complex issues. but like i said i think that the report itself is alarmist.

really unnecessarily so. and a lot of what they're concerned about are issues that are under their purview and being addressed through open proceedings they have that can be -- can be addressed through their public process. so i think that we'll have to see a little bit with respect to how much influence and how much we're being heard but definitely now is the time to -- to let the cpuc know that, you know, our communities care about this process. and that we want to have choice and we want to have community energy so that there's a fair level playing field for us to participate in. >> vice chair pollock: just in terms of how the green book

might influence legislative action within the california legislature or assembly, do you have an idea of legislation that's been earmarked right now that is a response to this report? >> at this point i don't. but i will keep the executive director informed of anything that we do here that's coming up that may be related to the green book. >> vice chair pollock: i also just related to that and i know that in past times when we've gotten our clean power s.f. update there's been an "item b" that is just about legislative updates. if we could have that added back on to the agenda so that we know where the sfpuc is taking positions on legislation and what those positions are, that would be helpful. >> sure. >> vice chair pollock: thank you. >> supervisor fewer: any comments or questions? seeing none, i thank you very

much. >> thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i think that public speakers are on item number 2, let's call public comment. hi. >> hello commissioners, eric brook, san francisco clean energy advocates and californians for energy choice. so first of all on the cpuc, part of the problem is that governor brown has stacked the cpuc with people who have conflict of interests in the fossil fuel industry and so that will give you an idea why that is a problem. so you've got ab813 on your agenda later and i have to say with frankness that i'm a little surprised to hear the staff say that there's no legislation that is related to the green book, because the green book is saying that we have no reliability and that we need to do things like expand the energy grid to this

regional grid. they're not really pushing that. they even said they had concerns about that. but this whole false argument that we've got too much renewable energy and have to sell it somewhere else, it's false because battery storage is going to eliminate that problem. and it is driving legislation like aba13, because the legislators are able to argue, oh, we've got all of these problems with energy flowing around the state, we've got to expand the grid. and i also want to call attention to another bill that would kill community choice in california that just came up as a surprise bill in sacramento 12 days ago. it's robert hertzberg's sb237. what it will do is completely eliminate all limitations on big access. and big access is big corporations like shell and selling energy directly to big corporations and like industrial and commercial customers.

that would be unlimited and it would have no restrictions on renewable energy content. all of the large commercial industrial customers would leave all ccas and go to direct access and c.c.a.s would be decimated. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. hi, mr. wall, good to see you. >> likewise. bruce wall, clean energy advocates state group. just to -- i'm not going to repeat everything that the previous speaker, my colleague eric brooks said, but we would really appreciate if you could -- i can't stay for the 813 item, but to reiterate that those items are really important. this is what we have been fighting about to try to get community choice aggregation on the books and active. and we think that the city and county of san francisco should oppose both these bills. so we would urge you to look

towards that and to recommend to the board of supervisors to do the same by resolution. i want to finish by saying that we appreciate all of the work that the san francisco public utilities commission is doing on cleanpowersf. as michael knows in all of our stakeholder meetings we always try to encourage more, more, more. we want more rollout, we want more customers in the system, and we want to try to protect all of our commercial customers too. so thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. anymore public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, can you please call item number -- oh, did i -- we need an action on that. thank you very much. can you please call item number 4. >> in item number 4, authorization to issue a request for proposals or a request for qualifications for lafco legal services. >> supervisor fewer: we have our legal services bryan goebel

to discuss this. >> as you are awar aware that te contract for legal services was signed in 2001. shortly after lafco was created and has not been updated since. each year the commission has approved an extension of that contract and i think that part of the reasoning behind that was over the years some uncertainty about the state of lafco. but i understand that there was a discussion from this body in the last year that when the current contract commitment expired you were interested in sending it out to bid. so today i bring a request to begin an r.f.p. or r.f.q. process for legal services. teresa stricter with public law has recused herself from this matter. and john gibner with the city office is here and he recommended that an r.f.p. would

be best because it would allow us to sign a multiyear contract and prevent us from having to approve a contract amendment every year. and so an affirmative vote on this item would allow us to begin that r.f.p. process. and mr. gibner is here if you have any questions. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. commissioners, any questions, comments? seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that want to comment on this? mr. brooks. >> hello again, eric brooks, san francisco clean energy advocates and californians for energy choice. and our city of san francisco and the green party. so i've been coming to lafco hearings for 12 years now, mostly about cleanpowersf. and i would urge you -- we had
