take -- the city take over that there is a role for the controller's office and the budget and legislative analyst. and this board and making sure that it is taken over appropriately there may be a role for your department. here is my big question in the same vein to the controller's office you are mark. >> correct. >> i know one of the recommendations from the report is there a financial system mesh with ours. can you speak to that on the status of that as barbara spoke to? that is a critical step number 1 we cannot rely on their numbers right now because we cannot see their numbers. >> i speak a little bit more. that was one of the recommendations that we let out back in 2017. we believe that if the san francisco housing authority leveraged the new system that we

have, that it incorporates finance purchasing and human resources, that there will be some deficiencies. and i can -- it will connect the way they process things. from the staff is provided by the authority, i believe they have not implemented that. i know that they have been in dialogue with the city. >> but you have made that offer clear to them? >> correct. >> they have not yet availed themselves of it we? >> i will have the authority speak on that. >> in the list of recommendations, we did say that we have not implemented -- implemented that. we have worked with the city auditor on a number of special projects. but we have not tried to incorporate our financing into the city. i don't know if you want to hear from b.d.o., but the voucher management system is very complicated and very unique and

does require special expertise. >> i hear you. there were 26 recommendations in the report. twenty-five in the city service auditor's report. twenty-five of which you accepted and 19 that you have implemented and five you have partially implemented and to you have not implemented. this her once you agree to implement. i understand the two-year tool is complicated and that vouchers are complicated but i also understand that the city is only going to be as good as we can interact with your numbers, particularly if you are going to be incorporated by the city. without getting into the details of it, i would love for that recommendation to be implemented first as quickly as possible, if we are going to absorb you. >> thank you. yes. >> thank you.

madam chair, in the interest of time, i will truncate this. we can do this all afternoon, but why don't we open for public comment. >> at this time, we will open up for public comment. it is not that any of us need to eat lunch, but we do lose coram at 2:00 pm. supervisor brown wanted to make sure she was available. we will open up for public comment. >> i will show you why you have this shortfall. i talked to hartley k.? one of the department building -- apartment buildings that came available out of her office, the lowest income requirement for one of those builders was 80% of the a.p.i. it is like 80 or $90,000 a year. i made an appointment to talk to her to demonstrate that she is discriminating against low income bracket people. by you setting the requirement to move into each and every building that comes out of her office, it is so high that the

housing authority is giving vouchers to pay that much money results in a sucking of their funds. that is why they have a negative cash flow now. because of hartley and the developers. they are paying an exception for the klute -- inclusionary rules of the developer won't have low income tenants in their building and pay that fee. the department is making $2 million a month. is that clear? you better audit on her department on how much money they have in their reserve. you will find that when a developer pays that fee, so he won't have to have the most vulnerable people will be attending in their building, they take that money and start up a new construction project and sets the requirement at a higher rate with still low income bracket people, the most vulnerable people who can't afford to live in the building and you displace low income people out of housing.

she is scandalous. i tried talking to her about that. i said how can you say that is a low income affordable housing when you have the lowest income to move in that building at 80% of the a.p.i. and that is about $90,000 a year? since when is a low income, affordable housing project, and the lowest income is like 80-90 god damn thousand dollars a year do an audit on her account. that's why there is so much money in that account and you are shortchanging the housing authority. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> mr wright. thank you. >> oh, my god. listen. i only have two minutes. first of all, let's clear the air. we will talk about it later. it is not her fault. i commend her department because her department was ran by -- when she came on, she is doing a fantastic job.

we will talk about that later. right now, peskin you are the master of legislation in city hall. because you are the one, years ago, when they had to reenvision , you are telling them they were wrong then. here they are again. i commend you. valley, district five, i see you here and i hate to say it, you are protecting room 200. i not say any names. that is why you were appointed. i call it a disappointment. here we go now. you are talking about the housing authority and accountability. peskin, did you know who is running oewd? that is somebody named -- what is his name? he is the director of oewd and he is also the president of the housing authority. therefore, how can you have mr torres as the president of the housing authority and now he has been selected, like you have,

bad selection, london, i have to tell you. i agree to disapprove. you have two individuals that come from oewd that are protecting d. you know who i am talking about. somebody there. i am so glad that mr pestis -- mr peskin, the master of legislation is using the real thing. i am glad i'm here to get all this information. i am appalled at city hall. i am appalled. and i want to talk to h.u.d. they have the money. h.u.d. controls everything. that is a federal government. that is why i want f.b.i. to investigate city hall. that is all. >> are there any other public comments on this item? saying none, public comment is closed. >> thank you to the folks in the housing authority and the mayor 's office of housing and

the budget and legislative analyst and the controller's office for spending your afternoon with us. i think where we need to focus is on how the transition process of s.f. ha to the city will work i would like to have some oversight over that and i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair so that perhaps at our next visit, we can talk about what the plans are and make sure that they are actually going to work and so this continuing trouble department will not remain troubled when it becomes a closer part of the city. i do totally acknowledge and appreciate the r.a.d. program has been, despite this great risk and challenges, a remarkable success. an increase in the amount of vouchers that we all support. we have to live with inapt -- within our means. when we are having conversations

at the board of supervisors about minimum compensation ordinance and all of the analyst competing priorities, we have to know when we are getting an unexpected cash call. with that, thank you, colleagues for your indulgence and support. >> i want to thank vice chair peskin for calling for the hearing. i think, as you have seen in the number of cosponsors, it demonstrates the amounts -- immense amount of concern of the board of supervisors has about what has occurred. i just want to concur with his comments. if we decide to determine that this is a priority for the budget, dollars should be allocated. we need to ensure better oversight process for this moving forward. i want to thank supervisor brown who extended her time in order to be able to be at this hearing because she has public housing in her district as well. i will take that motion. >> before we do it, to miss partly, the reason that it is

important it is because -- this has happened in my experience. the board has come just come back and said, pay, one -- what unallocated money from previous budget cycles is out there? we vacuumed that all up and redistributed it after having a policy conversation. had i known there was $31 million, we might have had a conversation and said that we want to put it in small sites acquisition. i realized that the colour of money is a different colour of money, without is actually conversation that we got elected to have. so it's important that you, back in with the 11 of us. this is an opportunity to do it. >> thank you, again vice chair peskin. at this time, we have a motion to continue this to the call of the chair and we can do that without objection. are there any other items before this committee? >> there is no further abyss -- no further business. >> meeting is adjourned.

>> president cohen: good morning, ladies and gentlemen. welcome back to the budget and finance committee. my name is malia cohen. to my right is supervisor sandra fewer, and to my left is

supervisor cakathrin stefani. mr. clerk are there any announcements? >>clerk: yes. items acted upon today will appear on the november 13 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise noted. >> president cohen: all right. thank you very much. want to thank jessie larson and matthew ignaio for their assistance today, and again, our clerk today is mr. victor young. mr. young, could you call items number two and three together? >> item 2 is 200 million of special tax bond series 2013 a and b for financing related to the transbay transit center project in 201819. item number three is a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of one or more series of special tax bond for the city and county of san

francisco community facilities district 2014-1 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2 million. >> president cohen: thank you. colleagues, we will continue these items to the call of the chair. mr. deputy city attorney, do we need to take public comment on this? we will take public comment on items two and three. seeing none, public comment is closed. we'll continue this to the call of the chair, mr. young. >>clerk: yes. items 2 and 3 are continued to the call of the chair. >> president cohen: thank you. please call item four. >>clerk: item four is an ordinance amending 01000 which set aside certain property in margaret s. hayward playground for the combined emergency communications center at is 011 turk street. >> president cohen: all right.

thank you. is there public comment on item four? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, i'd like to honor the request of the rec and park department. they've asked that we continue this item one week to the date of november 1. we'll take that without objection. thank you. item -- item 1, please. >>clerk: item number 1 is a resolution authorizing and improving the lease of a portion of the equipment room at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital with g.t.e. mobile net of california, limited partnership at a monthly base rate of $5,000. >> president cohen: so this item was continued from last week's meeting. it was a a lease from the city to verizon to ensure that there's adequate cell phone coverage inside sf general.

we've heard items like this before with lease to ss to othe providers. i understand that this lease is not an immediate candidate for 5-g, and that technology is not yet available to us. however, at&t has announced that its 5-g infrastructure is going to be rolled out in the early part of 2019. verizon and others are developing their launch plan across the entire nation. this is a five-year lease with two five-year options to extend, and at the end of the lease, the patients with the -- the patients and the workers of sf general and those that are also working in building 25 will be using subpart technology. can you tell us what subpart technology is? >> so right now, the current d.a.s. will handle up to 4-g standard.

5-g is extended into the micrometer spectrum of the band wa wave. >> president cohen: i want to make sure that zuckerberg should be in the head, not the last. they are in the life saving business, and i think they deserve to have access to the most up to date technology. i have a few questions for, i think -- i don't know. are you eric schafer? >> i am. >> president cohen: when will 5 d-g -- 5-g infrastructure be available to the city, and how will this d.o.s. help provide this to the city.

>> d.o.s. was originally designed for police and ambulance radios. the current transmitter's deployed through zuckerberg operate at that building, so it would have to be improved at that transmitter level as well as the verizon box going into those transmitters. we would be working with the city and the vendors to develop what that system would look like. >> president cohen: do you know what that needs to happen for the investment to become a reality? >> right now, it's still in the test phase. they're putting small pockets around and doing that. whenever we start talking about infrastructure and improvements in nascient technology. if we were to put in every

possible technology, it's got to prove itself and bear itself out. linda garrule over at the city's technology, she looks for the infrastructure to start within the city in about three to five years. >> president cohen: okay. what role does d.p.h. play in the selection of the vendors that are going to be providing service to public health facilities. >> so again, the d.a.s. is primarily for radio communications. as far as vendors coming in offering services, we would be ubiquitous. we would provide services to any carrier, as patients coming into sf general would have any carrier. >> president cohen: okay. thank you. colleagues, do you have any questions?

>> okay. i just want to make sure, as we're moving into this 5-g territory, i just want to make sure that institutions that serve poor, indigent, immigrant people are not being left behind and that they also have access to high quality technology. thank you. we'll go to public comment. any member of the public that would like to comment on item number one, please come forward. all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. i'll make a motion to send this to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we will send this as a committee report. we'll take that without objection. thank you. all right. moving on, item 5, please. >>clerk: item number 5 is a resolution authorizing the director of real estate to authorize a lease extension for the real property located at 759 -- 755 and 759 vanness

avenue, term commencing upon approval by the board of supervisors for a monthly base rent of approximately $45,000. >> president cohen: thank you. thank you, mr. penny, for being here today. colleagues, there is an item. it's a fore-lease extension for the department of public health for parking. d.p.h. has been in the space since 1981. it operates its t.a.y. program as well as its hiv program. maybe you could tell us, mr. penny, about the 95% operating value and what that means. >> good morning. my name is enrique penny. i'm the director of real estate, we negotiated the rate for this extension, and based upon the research that i've done and that

of my transaction team and also research that is available on costar, we've determined that the $45 persquare foot is 95% of market rate for properties of a similar nature in the nair. we just did a study of 13 comparable -- i'm sorry, 12 comparables in the area, which is a -- within a quarter mile of this particular location. the average of those comps was $43.98. this rent rate is $40. >> president cohen: so what you're saying is that we are getting an excellent bang for our buck. >> we are, indeed. >> president cohen: all right. i appreciate that. are there any other details that you'd like to present to this body? >> no. i would just point out that there is a rent escalator. it escalates annually by the

consumer price index, but that escalation is bracketed, no less than 3% but no more than 5%, so there are no big spikes or surprises on either side. that's all i have for you unless you have other questions for me. >> president cohen: i don't have any questions at this time. colleagues? what we're going to do is take public comment. public comment on item 5. is there any member of the public that would like to comment on this real property lease extension? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. let's make a motion to approve and send to the full board with a positive recommendation and we can take that without objection. item 6, please. >>clerk: item number 6 is a resolution retroactively authorizing the police department to accept and expend a boating safety enforcement grant from the california department of park and recreation. >> president cohen: thank you. thank you very much. this is sponsored by kathrin

sta stefani, is there any remarks that you'd like to make? okay. thank you. good morning. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is patrick young. i'm with the san francisco police department. i'm the grant manager. today we're asking for acceptance of the 2018 boating safety and enforcement grant award from the california department of parks and recreation division of boat and water ways. the grant funds will be used to upgrade the navigation and safety equipment on two of our moose boot vessels, and it enhances our ability to locate and recover evidence, property or to locate drowning victims that are subsurface.

funds will be used to purchase two personal watercraft with a transport trailer to replace two of our ageing personal watercraft in our fleet. just for a little bit of background, the sfpd marine unit is the primary marine unit for san francisco and it's responsible for enforcing the 64 square nimiles of shoreline, an ferry and cruise ship terminals. with this grant award, we'll be able to extend the useful life of our two vessels and provide our marine department with updated equipment. >> president cohen: do you know how often the police department uses these marine vessels? >> it depends upon the type of incident.

they do use -- they do have multiple vessels that they're -- that they have a choice of using. as far as specific numbers, i don't have it on hand. >> president cohen: how many marine vessels do they have on hand, including these new ones? >> i'd have to check back. i can get you that after -- >> president cohen: all right. so this is an accept and expend gran oriente for the purchase-- for the acceptance and expend grant for two new watercraft? >> it's for two new watercraft to expend the useful life. >> president cohen: and you're the -- >> i'm the grant manager. >> president cohen: okay. does that conclude your presentation? >> yes. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. we're going to take public

comment on these items. if there's any member of the public to make any comment on this, please come down. seeing none, public comment is closed. i'll make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. items 7, 8, and 9 call together. >> item seven is approving airport automated lease between new zoom l.l.c. with a minimum annual guarantee of is $50,000 for the first year of the lease. item number 8 is a resolution approving the terminal two specialty retail concession lease number five, lease number 18-0156 between express spa and san francisco and national l.l.c. and the city and county of san francisco for a minimum annual guarantee of $145,000 for the first year of the lease.

item 9 is a resolution approving the expedited travelers services lease 10-1089 between al claire l.l.c. by the city and county of san francisco acting by the airport commission with a minimum annual guarantee of $1.5 million for the first year of the lease. >> president cohen: mr. young, thank you very much for reading that. we've got kathy widener for the san francisco airport. these are ones for vending machines, one for express spa, and one for clear, which surprises shuttle services. >> correct. the airport is seeking your approval for three retail releases with new zoom, express spa, and all clear. as chair cohen just mentioned, new zoom will operate specialized vending machines

throughout the airport. express spa will operate a wellness center and spa concept in terminal two, and all clear offers expedited traveler services for checkpoint access throughout all airport terminals. the new zoom and all clear leases both have initial rental terms of five years with two one-year options to extend and express spa has a rental term of two years with no options to extend. all vendors will pay the minimum guarantee or percentage rent based on total revenues. over the term of the leases, the airport will receive at least $9.265 million based on the annual guaranteed rent. the budget analyst has reviewed the terms of the lease and recommends approval, but i would

be happy to answer questions that you may have. >> president cohen: i have a few questions. given all clear is a unique lease, skb it doesn't go through the competitive bid process, how do you determine the value of the lease? >> it does go through the competitive review process, although they are currently the only provide vendor that offers this service. the t.s.a. does have a similar service in precheck that is basically front of the line access after they've done the screening process, so we do have something to compare it against in terms of services. do you mean rent? is that what you're asking, how we determine the rent? >> president cohen: yes. >> i believe it's based on the previous -- we had an agreement with them before, and they operate at airports around the country, so it's competitive based on what they are charged at other airport for the same amount of passengers, how people they can enroll.

>> president cohen: okay. so how do we determine the revenues? >> the airport received a percent -- either the minimum annual guarantee or a percentage of how many memberships they're able to offer. >> president cohen: so is it by the number of passengers using it on a daily basis or a number that sign up for a trial? >> it's either -- it's either the minimum annual guarantee or the number of passengers who use the all clear service at s.f.o. >> president cohen: and the minimum number of guarantee, is that -- was that -- how does that come about? >> i believe, and i will clarify this for you, but my understanding that it's based on our previous experience with all clear and on the same services that they provide at other airports. it's worth noting that the minimum annual guarantee is not -- we're not expecting them to pay that. in the past, they've paid on the percentage based rent, so it's a

greater amount, so the minimum guarantee is lower than what we actually believe we will receive. >> president cohen: i see. so all clear is a vendor with the airport. >> yes. >> president cohen: is t.s.a. precheck also a vendor? >> precheck is a service that is offered through the t.s.a., although you do pay to enroll in it, it's not a vendor at the airport. we don't get rent from them, we don't have an agreement with them, it's all through the t.s.a. >> president cohen: all right. and what's the distinction between the two? >> one is a private company and one is part of the t.s.a. process that you go through. their rates are relatively competitive. they're about the same. i think it's about $150 a year for each. t.s.a. does certify all clear. they wouldn't be able to offer the service unless they weren't

certified by t.s.a. it's just a choice, it's a different company than t.s.a. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. colleagues, are there any other questions for oothy widener? we're going to go to public comment on items 7, 8, and 9. seeing that there are no members of the public, i'll close public comment. i'll make a motion to send that to the full board with a positive recommendation. >>clerk: yes. items 7, 8, and 9 have been -- >> president cohen: pardon me. i totally forgot about the b.l.a. report. i'm so sorry. let me make a motion to rescind the action that we took on items 7, 8, and 9. we do that without objection. thank you. and my apologies, please. >> good morning, chair cohen and members of the committee. the proposed resolutions approve

leases between the airport as landlord and three tenants as miss widener explained with new zoom for auto mated re-taylor vending machines, with express spa, l.l.c. as a wellness concession for a term of seven years, and with all clear l.l.c. as an expedited travel service for a term of five years. between late april and early may, the airport received five proposals for three leases. separate three member panels reviewed the contract for each r.f.p., and you can see the different competitors and the ones that were chosen. as miss widener explained, there was only one proposer for expedited travel services. that is all clear, l.l.c., which is the only company that provides passengers expedited

access through security checkpoints. table two on page 18 of our report outlines the terms of the proposed leases. the new zoom l.l.c. vending machines is for a term of five years, with two one-year options to extend, and a minimum annual guarantee of 150,000 with increases to that minimal annual guarantee based on c.p.i. or the greater of the -- minimum annual guarantee or percentage of gross revenues. the second lease, express spa, is for a term of seven years. there's no options to extend. the minimum annual guarantee is $145,000 or the -- and -- so the airport will receive that or the greater of that or the percentage of gross revenues. and finally, all clear, l.l.c., for a term of five years with

two one-year options to extend with a make up mum annual guaranteed rent of 1.5 million. the airport would receive that or the greater -- the airport would receive that or if the percentage of gross revenues is greater, then they would receive 12.5% of gross revenues. under that, the airport would receive -- so between the three leases, the airport would receive about 1.8 million in minimum annual guaranteed rent in the first year and at least 1,925,000 over the next year in the annual terms of the lease. the airport does expect to receive the percentage rent which would exceed the minimum annual guaranteed. the breakdown of the minimum annual guaranteed rent received by the airport without c.p.i. adjustment is shown in the chart in our report and would total $965,000 over the terms of the leases, and we recommend

approval of the proposed resolutions. >> president cohen: thank you. and my apologies for skipping over you earlier, as well as the other item, item 5. all right. thank you for your opinion, and colleagues, i don't think that influences or changes our decision either way. we are in agreement. let's send items 7, 8, and 9 before -- to the full board with a positive recommendation. before we do that, let's take public comment again on items 7, 8, 8, and 9. seeing none, public comment is closed. all right. i'll make a motion to send to the full board with a positive recommendation. all right. thank you, miss widener. mr. clerk, please call item 10. >>clerk: item 10 is a resolution authorizing the public defender to end into an agreement with bob cat

photography, l.l.c. >> president cohen: do i have a representative from the public defender's office? welcome. >> good morning, supervisors. jeff adaci is in the middle of a trial today. he just started a murder trial, so he asked if i could come and perhaps answer any questions that you might have. >> president cohen: no problem. so this is a resolution allowing the public defender to appear in a tellievision mini series. the public defender will receive approximately $15,000 perepisode, and that money will be used to support local organizations that seek to reduce juvenile crime in low-income neighborhoods. i think that this is a pretty straightforward matter. let's go ahead and take public comment. i don't know if you have any questions. simple agreement. okay if there's any member of

the public that would like to comment on item ten. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. so let's -- i'll make a motion to approve and send to the full board with a positive recommendation. all right. colleagues, thank you, mr. gonzalez for being here. this motion is passed unanimously. thank you. >>clerk: i believe we need to go back to item one as we are unable to send it out as a committee report today. >> president cohen: yes, mr. clerk. that's correct. i'll make a motion to rescind the vote on item 1, and we'll take that without objection. thank you very much and reissue to send to the full board with a positive recommendation, and we will take that without objection. all right. is there any other business before this body? >>clerk: that completes the business before this body today. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. we're adjourned.

>> this meeting will come to order. this is october 19th, 2018, special meeting of the san francisco local agency formation i am sandra lee fewer, chair of the commission. i am joined by commissioner cynthia pollock.

we are expecting another commissioner in a little while. the clerk of the commission his elisa samara. i would also like to thank the staff at san francisco government television for recording today's meeting. do you have any announcements? >> yes. make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. speaker cards and copies of any documents should be submitted to the clerk. >> thank you very much. can you please call item number 2. >> item number 2 his approval of the last minutes of the september 21st, 2018 regular meeting. >> commissioners, do you have any changes of the minutes of the september 21st meeting? seeing no changes, i will open this up to public comment. 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 the minutes? the next so moved. >> yes.

moved and seconded. without objection, these minutes are approved. can you please call item number 3. >> it is a community chai joe's choice aggregation activities report. outreach and communication and regular as regulatory activities >> thank you very much. i believe we have a presentation from my clients at the san francisco public utilities commission. >> good morning, commissioners. pardon me while i load the slide deck. good morning, again. happy friday. i am the director of clean power s.f. for the san francisco public utilities commission.

for our clean power s.f. program update today, we are going to cover a few things. our enrolment activities and service to customers will also judge we will also review the clean power s.f. outreach and communications program for the enrolments that was conducted in july. and then finally we will provide an update on the recent cpuc decision. >> do you have copies of your powerpoint? >> i do. i will also deliver them to the clerk here. >> and we are also joined by commissioner singh. good to see you. >> i have also put additional copies for the public in the box

>> ok. our ongoing clean power s.f. enrolment and service to customers continues to move along successfully. this month, clean power s.f. is conducting one of our regular quarterly enrolments. bringing on an additional 1600 customers that signed up for the program during the month of april through august of this year or have solar on the rooftops and participate in net energy metering. with october's enrolment, we are actively serving about 109,000 accounts within the city with a cumulative opt out percentage of 3.1%. that is pretty consistent with what we reported the last meeting. our super green upgrade rate continues to exceed that rate and it is 3.6% of active customers.

that means that more than 3800 businesses and households in san francisco have chosen to receive 100% eligible renewable and greenhouse gas free electricity from clean power s.f. the next section of our update is on outreach and communications. for this portion of the update i will turn things over to tyler gamble. the acting director of communications and i will rejoin for the regulatory update. >> thank you. >> thank you. good morning, commissioners. i will go through a presentation first. i will reintroduce myself. i am tyler gamble. and the acting communications director. i have been here about a year and a half almost.

i started out as deputy communication director for power so is very focused on putting together the bones and implementation of the enrolment strategy for the summer. i was here back in may telling you about the plan that we had and i promised to come back and talk about the results. here i am. first, i wanted to reintroduce what the team looks like so you all get a handle on what we are doing on a day-to-day basis and how mate staff and resources that we have. we have a communications team at the p.u.c. dedicated to the power vertical specifically and to talk about public outreach for our clean energy programs. our team handles earned media, owned media, paid media, engaging with partners and then we also do a life direct customer engagement. as well as commercial dust commercially and residentially. so this past july,, we had our

enrolment campaign, enrolling 25,000 commercial customers. our main message was that clean power s.f. gives you the power to choose cleaner energy options for your business at a competitive price. the word -- these are just commercial customers. our messages were focused around that type of customer. some of the strategies we took on, we took advantage of the required mailings. we leverage local and regional media outlets and use existing p.u.c. and city communication channels. greetings enlisted clean energy movement influencers targeted customers ahead of time. we engaged business organizations and we also put together a paid digital media campaign. going through each of those, we did new enrolment notices. we are already required to send these out so we wanted to make sure we could tailor them to make them attractive and educational for the people who got them. we sent for waves in a may through august and mailed a total of almost 93,000 of these

out to customers. we had a goal of next of getting coverage to educate businesses and residents about the program and encourage upgrades to super green at the same time. a lot of businesses have sustainability goals so it was a good opportunity to jump in and say you will be clean -- you will be clean though she will be enrolled in clean power s.f. and we have a hundred% renewable ready for you as well. a big announcement that came through was that the new salesforce tower signed on for 100% renewable energy through super green. they were already a customer with others. that was exciting to be able to leverage that moment that was popular around the city and state for media coverage to say they are also a customer with the city of san francisco. that was helpful. that got picked up in salesforce they did their own blogging about it, including the c.e.o. as well. we also use existing city communications channels. a shout out to supervisor fewer. we put that in your newsletter earlier this summer.

we ended up hunting --dash contacting 55 stakeholder organizations and gave them enrolment information, digital media kit they could use to put in their own newsletter. we printed some inserts in our p.u.c. customers since we are to have that platform available and we did that digitally. we leverage mayor farrell at the time and other board of supervisors and newsletters and made sure we got all the information to them to communicate to their stakeholders. we partnered with some of the clean energy movement influencers locally. the sierra club, and others. we have had really great success during phone banking opportunities with those folks. so we shared information and attended events and did some phone banking. we sponsored some events and panels as well to get the word out. than we did a lot of meeting customers face-to-face. merchant association meetings, film screenings, panel presentations, we attended

nearly 30 events in 2018 total and interacted with about 4300 people. we also wanted to engage business organizations. we partnered with the mayor's office of workforce development and got a list of all the folks they engage with on a regular basis. we narrow that down to about 100 small and medium and large businesses that would be focused , that was business focused and energy focused organizations. a lot of the folks just wanted to get the details and they would present it to their constituents as they wanted to. others wanted us to come in so we did in person presentations and scent them digital press kits that they asked for as well the most exciting thing for me, we launched a new clean power s.f. website that is clearly reaching more customers. we have always owned the url clean power s.f..org but it takes us back to the p.u.c. website and with the size of this program and the attention we need around it to get people to understand it, it made sense

to separate it to a separate website for the time being. we made sure the website let match the rest of the classical just collateral. the results were great. we did a lot of outreach but also paid for additional -- additional outreach campaign. we saw over 50,000 unique visitors during the three-month period. we have seen over 74,000 year to date. that sounds good to, but what do you right that too. i looked at a comparison from the same time frame for a full year from june 17th until june 18th and we only saw 12,000 hits to that website. clearly this was the way to go and a better way to directly engage with customers as well. i was excited about that and we have seen that continue to grow over time. and then some commercial outreach and education that we did. we met with beaumont twice in july and august and presented to the san francisco hotel council meeting. a lot of the hotels, especially

on the larger side do you have sustainability goals and are interested in being part of this i wanted to make sure they knew it was available in san francisco and through the city as well. and then we ran a digital ad campaign. we wanted to be a little fun with it and make sure that we got the word out. we focused a lot on new sites that people might show up on so they would look like in advertising that they were reading. so we didn't want to have a lot of imagery. we wanted to get right to the point. these are two examples of the ones that we did. it was a multilingual campaign that we ran into digital print and we did other targeted byes. again with a redesign clean power s.f. website where people were sent to. around september through october , sorry, it ran may through august and then september through october we wanted to take advantage of the fact that even though enrolment is over, let's push people to learn and sign up for super green during the climate summit

activities that were happening. there's a lot of attention around that as well. and then the next slide shows the multilingual advertising that we did. obviously as you think through this, not everything that may be considered funny or sarcastic or anything that might be different by the languages. so we stuck to innovation power san francisco. our clean energy powers you. that was a really high collect ad of using that. at really hammered to the point home across all languages. we were excited to see that. i know this is a question that came up at the last meeting so i wanted to make sure we talked about communities being part of our plan and not separate from the work that we do. i wanted to do a quick run down of some of the activities we have done over the last year and again, is part of this campaign. we conducted a research project -- project with s.f. fellows to

understand diverse needs in the city. they pulled together interesting research -- research that can guide some of the decisions we made in the future. we have done bilingual presentations with chinatown partners and a lot of face-to-face outreach with individual business owners. we are fortunate to have chinese , english and filipino speaking representatives at the san francisco public utilities commission that we use for clean power s.f. and across the board with water and wastewater as well. always translating our materials how to read your bill, terms and conditions, not only do we want to do that because it's the best way, but a lot of it is just part of the rules that we have to do anyway. we ran in language print adds and other spanish-language publications within san francisco. we are currently updating our ivr which is when you call a hotline and you have a recorded message there, we are making sure it will be in spanish and cantonese and mandarin and

filipino. we are developing in language micro- sites with more extensive web content that we believe will be most helpful for these communities as we continue to educate about that particular program. we want to keep customers engaged that we already have as well as educate new ones as we look ahead to upcoming enrolment and things like that. so over the next few months, we will be focusing on operational communications, super green upgrade campaigns, annual disclosures and mailings that we have to do. customer inquiries, we will be doing a series of super green spotlight videos that have chosen to do go -- goat super green. we have done another round with some good partnerships. there is a group, there is a business that runs out camping gear. i can't remember the name of it.

but we did a really fun thing with them where we shot a video of them promoting the program and they said any customers who would bring in their clean power s.f. newsletter when you get ten % off a rental for their camping gear that they would get good partnerships that allow for both ends to get benefit out of their. we are looking at enrolment communications again as we look at the next final and residential enrolments. some awareness building about the s.f. p.u.c. power enterprise brand. some outdoor and digital advertising. we will look at what we have done and see what makes the most sense to invest our resources in in the future. some open house style informational sessions and some more engagement through other partners that we see as well. we really want to get into -- past the traditional public meetings type space and be more innovative about the things we are doing. one of the great examples, if you are able to see the pop up that we did with the global climate summit to, around the

100 years of the power. we gave away snow cones to people and popped up in areas of the climate summit and also in residential areas as well. it was a fun way to educate people about where the power has come from over the last 100 years and where we are moving forward as well. looking into more of it was innovative things keep educating customers. that is a basic wrap up that i wanted to give on that but i'm happy to take any questions you may have around the communications efforts that we have done. >> colleagues. any questions? none. ok. >> ok. thank you. i appreciate it. >> thank you, tyler. if we could have the slides back thank you. ok.

i imagine some of you have seen the news lately about the proceeding at the cpuc. so i will share a bit about that with you. on october 11th, we voted unanimously to approve the alternate proposal in the power charge indifference adjustment proceeding. as a reminder, the power charge indifference adjustment is a fee that appears on c.c.a. customer 's bills to recover the above market cost of power supply commitments that they made on behalf of those customers prior to their switch to a c.c.a. program for electricity supply. this is the power plants that they own and to the contracts that they entered into before the c.c.a. formed. historically, the generation rants have been said to absorb the impact of the pci a on our customers.

the community vigourously opposed the alternate proposal on the grounds that among other things, it underestimates the market value of the generation resources. resulting in more of the cost being recovered through the exit fee and c.c.a. customers. and that it unlawfully allows the above market cost of generation assets owned by pg nd to be recovered. with this decision we expect they will have an ink -- have an increase of more than 200% since san francisco committed to beginning service in 2015. ultimately, it is expected the decision will increase the cost to c.c.a. customers must pay to pg&e verse above market power supply starting in january of next year. so what specifically are we

expecting to happen as a result of the decision? as i noted, we are anticipating that as early as january 1 of next year the rate will increase for all clean power s.f. customers. we are also expecting pg&e it generation right to decrease relative to current levels. based on the best information we have available now, we estimate that existing clean power s.f. customers could pay 40- $50 million more per year as a result if no action is taken by clean power s.f. to absorb the change. i want to be clear about that. that is if nothing is done. but significantly, that is equivalent to about 25 -- it is a big, big chunk. these figures are based on the most recent rate forecast which is scheduled to be updated in early november. the decision itself did not

publish rates. and adopted a methodological change. those rates will be set in another proceeding and a the schedule for that proceeding has an update to the rates happening in early november. so we actually are anticipating the outlook with those rates will improve. because wholesale electricity markets have been -- prices have been up since pg&e initially forecasted. that is an influencer in the calculation. we will be waiting to see what those figures are before submitting any proposals for next steps. on those next steps, first of all, i think that as the rates picture becomes clearer for 2019 , i want to emphasize that we will continue to provide clead
