options are. worworst-case scenario is we postpone our april or operate at a higher cost for some amount of time. it will setback our efforts to procure new california renewable resource and begin programming to support our local build out and affordability objectives. in partnership with our colleagues at cal cca we'll be examining our options for recourse at the cpuc. in the meantime, we'll continue to provide clean, reliable and affordable service to our customers. clean power sf continues to offer generations service that's is about 2% lower cost than pg&e. so customers are receiving savings today for a product that is cleaner and reinvesting in our community.

i'm happy to take any questions you may have. >> commissioners -- >> i'm not sure if it's a question or a comment. i appreciate your presentation. >> thank you. >> this was a business risk that we knew was out there. >> correct. >> so while it's not good news it's not exactly a surprise. i would like to see it as soon as we can. an analysis of basically the impact on the enterprise financials. in this case, it's the c.c.a. enterprise. i know your doing this because you put an answer to the questions you talked about without doing it. i would like to see, in whatever form is most useful, an analysis

from a long-term standpoint what it does to our business model. >> thank you, commissioner. anything else? >> is there any public comment on the general manager's report at item 8a? seeing none. public comment is now closed. >> i'm sorry. how did i not see that. >> commissioners, i'm looking at this situation in a totally different way. going through the source of the record act. i want to know how many of the electrical lines to where it stops come under our jurisdiction of the sfpuc, pro proprietary. i want to know why in the year 2018, if ever, that we continue to have special agreements with

pg&e to bring in the city into the city. why don't we have proprietary jurisdiction over sufficient lines in today's world with today's technology to bring our electricity all the way to the city. this has never been answered. what some people do here is the answer is in a a con voluted w. under the record act, it was the army and some of the every year we could sit down with pg&e and negotiate. that's why i know how to negotiate with pg&e. we're not sincere. in order to have gone into a

clean solar power, there are many factors. we've not been very sincere with this. we say clean. we want to know how clean. if you go deeper into that it's a slap in our face. pg&e does whatever it can and they're free to do it. they're a private enterprise. so, we have no clear notion, first, about how clean it is. and secondly, we are kind of indebted to pg&e because we think when they say something, they don't keep their promise because they have control. we have no control. as one of the commissioners said, what type of a business plan we have? do we have a business plan where

every element of the business plan we are in the cockpit. as far as i know from my reading, this convoluted stuff, we are not in the cockpit. if you are not in the cockpit and pge and is in the cockpit, this thing will go on forever. that's my question to you. you have sufficient intelligence and i hope you understand what i'm saying. >> thank you for your comment. francisco. is there any other public comment on this item on the general manager's report? >> i'd like to add one thing. francisco, you raise an old but interesting issue around transmission into the city. we've looked at it a dozen times. it might be good to take another look at that. to see if it changes the out of come that analysis.

we also have in this environment, pg&e doesn't control the transmission lines anymore. that whole relationship between us and pg&e on transmission is really out the window. we have some options in terms of building level distribution and i know we're looking at that as well. so if we can have an update for the commission about what our options are on that side of the business as well. that would be appreciated. >> thank you, commissioner. last call for public comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is now closed. general manager kelly. >> all right. the next item is the bay delta water quality control plan update. michael, were you going to start or ellen? >> i think i am. >> hi, i'm ellen. i'mel deputy manager for water

and acting assistant general manager. steve richy is on vacation. i am just going to report out on a meeting that steve had at the last commission meeting. he referenced a letter that was sent by the n.g.o.s on september 24th. steve richy committed to meeting with the n.g.o.s to talk about their three concerns that were enumerated in the letter. peter brought to your attention the third concern. i think michael responded to it. the other two i'll just report out on how the meeting went in regards to those. the first one was to arrange for an objective peer review of the sfpuc models used for the alternative that's been presented to the state board's proposal on fishery improvement. those models were developed by the district and i believe mr. richy addressed the commission and informed them that the districts per development those model under the requirement of firk and the

relicensing of don pedro. we have asked about peer review and they'll get back to us. the second item was to work with the n.g.o. community to explore and develop alternative supplies. there was an extensive discussion about alternative water supply and an agreement that there would be a follow-up meeting to do a deeper dive with bosska present and the deeper dive of alternative dive and talk about our plans in place now and moving forward. upon steve richy's return, that meeting will be set up. that's all i have on the updates for now. any questions? >> thank you. michael carolyn. deputy general manager again. one other item is supervisor peskin introduced a resolution a week ago tuesday at the board of

supervisors, urging his fellow colleagues to address the resolution to support the state water board's plan for 40% unimpaired flow. we have met with supervisor peskin. we continue to work with him on this issue. it's scheduled for the land use committee on monday of next week at 1:30 p.m. i believe. and we will be testifying and presenting to him as much as we can on what we've been doing in the voluntary settlement agreements without violating the confidentiality agreement. we will work with his office and the supervisors to keep them apprise of what is happening. there's a lot of activity going on in sacramento with the government's office and we've been involved in those discussion and continue to be involved in those discussions as they move forward to protect the river, its environment and water supply for the city of san francisco. i would be glad to answer questions regarding that. >> colleagues. >> thank you.

>> is there any public comment on the general manager's report at item 8b? i do have one speaker card. peter. >> thank you. >> peter. so, in the fall of 2017 we filed a sunshine ordinance request for information communications between staff and lobbyists. various elected officials as well. the thing that spurred that was senator feinstine sent a letter to national marine fishery service telling them to back off. we thought that was a little strange, she was weighing in. we uncover a paper trail that sfuc staff and lobbyist had helped draft two letters from senator feinstine to national marine fishery service. our understanding is staff is directed not to put things in

writing because they're worried we're going to file public records. we do know, everyone knows that secretary ryan zinkey visited the central valley last spring and they were with sin year staff and department of interior and department of commerce. senator feinstine weighs in. i assume she's being encouraged by staff. what i've heard is staff at u.s. fish and wildlife service is demoralized. they put in a lot of effort and they're gags now. this is coming from the top. and it could be in the next couple weeks all of a sudden national marine fishery service followed their recommendations. it doesn't just happen. it's pressure. again, i think this is unacceptable for san francisco to behave this way. thank you. >> thank you for your comment. >> i was at the meeting at the

board of supervisors when peskin brought this topic and he pointed out what happened in los angeles. how they wholeheartedly took a stand and lost. supervisor peskin knows more because he is focused on this. i look at in a general way. i can't just focus on everything. i like to get a birds' eye view. but you know, this is not the first time i've heard about our senator diane feinstine to use her pressure. it's not the first time. i think it's wrong for our staff to think -- [ please stand by ]

if it is determined. are they required to accept this? i see mr. carlin on the item. thank you, mr. carlin. deputy general manager. the answer is yes. we derm it.

>> is that your vote. it is moved and seconded? is that right. any public comment? public comment is closed. all those in favor? opposed. the motion carries. will you please read the items in closed session. >> item 21. existing claim jackson versus city and county of san francisco 22 existing insurance company limited versus city and county of san francisco. 23 existing claim, city and county of san francisco. >> i would like to call call for public comment any public comment on 19? public comment is closed. we will move to closed session. >> we have a fun, i.

>> a hi, i'm karen fry a project manager and sfpuc and the bureau of environmental management honestly i've not considered a public sector job i realized this was an opportunity to work on large capital projects from san francisco all the way to our hetch hetchy and the yosemite national park i work with engineers and city

attorneys and scheduled and we all work tom nolan e together on the project. >> the excavations are in red we'll have the interference to go under the street. >> my next project is the largest project in the water system improvement program this is the southeast plan that involved a lot of kworpthsdz with the community groups and public when 9 commissioners such the planning commission and the board of supervisors or this ftc commission they help us in city hall this is a beautiful building it really is the inner workers of the building you feel you're in the heart of government and it's exciting to be part of that

>> so thank you all for coming. this is a very exciting day, and the person behind what we're going to break ground on, so a big hand for joy oh. >> thank you, everybody for coming here today. we're so excited that we finally reached this milestone that we're moving into the second phase of this project. without your support and participation, we're not here today, and i look forward to you to come to our grand opening at the end of 2020, when this project is completed. we're very excited to have mayor lee -- i'm sorry. mayor breed to -- and supervisor

kim to be at our ground breaking today. i would like to first -- i'm trying to make this short and cover everybody, and this has -- it's been an effort to get to this point today, and i wanted to first thank you, thank my partner and investor that came all the way from asia, they came specifically for this ground breaking. chris chang, who represents c.d.c., continental development corporation, from taiwan, and mr. ran, from shanghai. they are both very successful and socially responsible developers in asia. so i want to just mention a few

names that help us get here today. one of them is the tenderloin housing clinic and randy shaw who actually hosted our bimonthly meetings in their office across the street from here, alongside with tndc and hospitality house. we -- the housing clippnic is going to help us provide a job training program to allow the residents in their projects to learn the skill to work in the -- the hotel when we opened. so there are many parts of this project that we think we can contribute back to the community. one other significant thing, though, that the project is driving is we're taking 50% of

the arts fee to allow the local nonprofits that service the tenderloin area, the program includes wild flower institutes hidden gem program, phase two, counter proposals, the turk and taylor project, and the lgbtq interpretive program, and also, the magic theaters arts program. so there's so many organizations that we worked with for the last four years to come to this point. so of course, we're going to be building -- many years working with planning department, we're finally coming to an agreement to create this first modern flight iron building with a picture behind you, in front of

you, in the intersection of midmarket examine tenderloin. we are -- midmarket and tenderloin. and i want to thank all of the arts designer involved in the project from hindal b.a.r. and o.s.a. we're standing on this platform, and this is built by, you know, our contractor. we are confident that we can get to the finish line under budget on time, right? so there's leti. if you have any problems, he's the supervisor on-site. any questions you have, go to him. most importantly at the end, i wanted to thank my staff. please raise your hand. [applause]

>> and charlie thompson, there you go, our attorney, who we spent many sleepless nights, right charlie, working with will thatcher. will, where are you? will finally agreed to sell the land in the corner lot to us. so without any of you, we are not here today. and i want to say since january of this year, eric tau, terry re reagan, and brian baker, jessie herzog, i'm very excited for you to help us, and we're going to work together until the end of the project. thank you. so mayor breed, can i introduce

you? we're so excited to see what you're working on, creating housing for different income level residents, and your work on sort of a tough love projects here in the city. and your work that you're doing in identifying the director of the housing delivery that's going to stream line the application process and the housing process. and we're confident that the city will be a better city for all of us. thank you. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: i am so excited to be here today, and i think mayor lee wanted us all to know that he was paying close attention to everything that we're doing. you know, it's -- it's great to be here today.

in fact, i just did a ground breaking earlier on 420 units in the civic center area, and now, 242 units right here in central market. and on top of that, the 65 units of affordable housing that will come with this development. it is a beautiful day to build housing in san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and you know what i'm most excited about when building housing, supervisor kim? the fact that i helped to lead the efforts on the board of supervisors when we passed neighborhood preference legislation so that 40% of all new development of affordable housing go to the people who live in that community first. so if we are going to make changes all over san francisco, we have to make sure that we include the people who are a part of these communities. part of making sure that we

revitalize san francisco is bringing others along, but we do know we have challenges with homelessness, we have challenges with housing. we need to do better with our public transportation system, and it's going to take us all working together to accomplish those goals. projects like this take us one step closer to doing something absolutely amazing right here, and people say central market. i say the tenderloin. right here in the tenderloin. we are going to open doors and provide opportunities, nonprofit theater space, retail space, spaces for people who live in this community to use, making sure that the hotels and the housing that are available are also available to the people who are part of this community. i'm excited about the future of san francisco, i'm excited about the opportunities that this project brings, and i am committed to continuing to do what we need to do to cleanup the tenderloin, to provide job

opportunities for those who need them, to make sure that we have rest rooms and other places for people to use the rest room. and i know supervisor kim is very happy with the amount of time that i've been spending in the tenderloin. it's one of my favorite places to visit, because i know that one of the things is not just constantly investing dollars and getting people to work, it's about being involved in the community and the solutions we need to continue to move things forward. it's a great day in the san francisco area, it's a great day to build housing, and i am so excited to be at the ground breaking of this project that within two years, we are going to make sure that this place -- i am going to be here, hopefully, for the opening, as well, but more importantly, in the meantime, the outreach and the work that we need to do to make sure that the community continues to be a part of this project is going to be so very much important. and yes, i am hiring a housing

delivery director because we need to deliver more housing for residents of san francisco, and this is helping us get just one step closer to that goal. thank you all so much for being here. [applause] >> supervisor kim, you and i, we worked on this project i don't know how many years. five or six years? more like eight. okay. thank you for all those committee meetings we held in your office, and we are here today. i want to say with your midmarket tech exam initiative that you worked with the great mayor lee, and you continued working on creating the lgbtq cultural district in the tenderloin, it's great -- it's

contributing greatly to the revitalization of this area, so we thank you for doing that. >> supervisor kim: we have been working this project since 2011, and even though we entitled the project a little over two years ago, there continued to be other actions that we needed to take to ensure that this project remained viable. very few projects do i get to sit with for eight years, but this, but this project, not only is it a vital part of this

neighborhood, but this project was a key component. it went through many iterations, and countless community meetings for each of the iterations, but i'm just excited in the end the project was able to keep all the components that we initially wanted to see. we wanted to respect and acknowledge the history of arts and arts done on midmarket. whether we're talking about a.c.t. down the street to all of the great theaters like s.h.n., and i'm so excited that joy has committed to the magic theater to have their own dedicated space here at 950 market to join us in creating this cultural arts district. second, i want to make sure that we're creating jobs for residents ensuring that tenderloin residents would be

able to work at the hotel and retail at 950 market.

[please stand by] . >> supervisor kim: and that's part of why it took us so long to get to this point, to see how

large the site is and what it's going to mean to the midmarket arena. i finally wanted to acknowledge late may i don't remember ed or. i know jeff buckley is here and worked on behalf of his office to make sure we could go through so many different processes to get to this point. a project like this doesn't happen without strong support from the mayor's office, and by the way, it will continue to need strong support from mayor breed and her office. congratulations, joy, congratulations, everyone. >> lucky today to have from our well known neighbor, glad memorial, we have rabbi michael

lieszak to give a blessing. so please welcome rabbi mike lieszak from glad memorial. >> i am michaelle lieszak. did you want to see the drawings of the building here behind me? is that going to be a gorgeous building or not? yes, yes, a real site to behold here on market street. beyond the physical beauty of 950 market street, we at glide want to absolute the people at group i with the help of market street for the masses and central city s.r.o. collaborative for thinking deeply how this project will be a real source of vitality for everyone here in the tenderloin.

we are particularly moved because group i went above and offfor securing how doesing for formerly homeless people. that points to an inspired sense of responsibility for our community's most vulnerable people. beyond housing, the fact that group i donated many to our district and included grounds for a space in their building for communal space is a real gift. they worked hand in hand with the people here in the tenderloin to ensure that this area of the city continues to lift all of the people who live and work and learn in this city of san francisco. may we continue to grow partnerships like this in the city that we all love. deeply grateful. >> all right. thank you, everybody. we'll see you at the next ribbon cutting.
