5:00 pm
extend the reach of the department, of our city's elected officials, of the city's capacity to host visiting nations, visiting cities, del gats from all around the world who are convening in san francisco to talk about the environment, and to learn from us on what we did here on climate action, and the commissioners represented us at events, at talks, at workshops on kind of 0, 80, 100 groups, the paradigm that governs or climate action, and it definitely made sure that we were a gracious environment, but more so, an informed host on the environment. and the commissioner definitely helped the department, the city, and the mayor's global climate action summit here a success. but beyond that, there were other highlights, as well. i know that seems to be the main highlight, but there were a number of special meetings and events that the commission
5:01 pm
undertook in order to its regular business. one was the historic meeting between the historic environment and the joint commission on the status of women, and then special reports back on the commission workshops, and then, of course, the actual meeting with the community to show what the final end result was. and then, moving on, other highlights include the department's racial equity initiative, which i'm going to get to on another page. the racial equity initiative is used to work on how the department's programs, policies, and services my intentionally or unintentionally benefit some more than others. the picture you see there is our rally and protest of the trump's decision to repeal obama's clean power plan, and
5:02 pm
the commissioners, particularly commissioner hoyos and commissioner ahn, who was one of the emcees for the event, helped make a powerful statement that was instrumental in reducing emissions and was going to be more instrumental in reducing emissions for the future. it was important for san francisco to kind of unite bay area communities, bay area activists, and we did that through the leadership, and we received lots of attention. i know that commissioner bermejo and wan were watching it from mexico, the strong stance against the trump administration. the operation committee setting up various initiatives and approvals throughout the year. and then of course what we saw today, but what we also did
5:03 pm
thousand 2018 was recognize the individuals that help empower the commission, that helped us be successful in the environment because as you saw on tomorrow's presentation, it's about collaboration with others, it's about working with others. no matter who it was, we made sure to call out those that helped us succeed on the environment this year, or in previous years, as well. and finally, our legislative summary. the commission has been invaluable at times, championing issues for the city, making sure we're looking at the right issues, pushing legislation kind of overthe finish line if we need to and getting the city on the record like taking a stand on the repeal of the clean power plan or passing a resolution supporting the department's equity initiative by not only helped focus how the department
5:04 pm
looks at its work to make sure we're looking at it through the equity angle but was also a model for other city agencies and how they look at their own programs through an equity issue. and in fact our work with the commission on equity was used as a template for the commitment at the global climate action summit. so some of our legislative accomplishments are more than just resolutions. they find themselves being signed onto by other cities or they find themselves being used by other city departments, and so i just wanted to call that out, as well. and that, i believe, is the very comprehensive annual report. >> great report. comments or questions, commissioners? commissioner wan? >> i'm getting really to make a motion when you're ready to ask. >> i just wanted to say thank you to commissioner eddy ahn for the great artwork.
5:05 pm
he's done a great job of buttefying the district where i live. they unfailed tveiled the util boxes. thank you for that. it's a great way to highlight artwork. i was looking at the drawings, you even have the raccoons in here. you so often see them in the neighborhood. so thank you for that. and any -- commissioner ahn. >> i love with what mark did with bits and pieces of the art, separating out the bird with the heart above its head. really good work by the department as always in terms of making sure we get the message out there. one small thing that's a substantive edit to include under the clean power plan rally. i think it's mentioning the san francisco public utilities commission. as a department, they were
5:06 pm
represented by general manager harl harlan kelly and commissioner viator, so recognizing them for the good work they've done is important, as well >> okay. we can take that and add that in there. that need to be a formal amendment? [inaudible] >> okay. public comment? no? hearing none, we'll have a motion to approve the 2018 annual report. >> as amended. >> as amended. commissioner wald? >> thank you. i think that we have had an extraordinary year. as you said when you began this meeting, and i think this report captures the extraordinary nature of the year very, very well and therefore i move that we approve this draft as amended
5:07 pm
for presentation to the mayor in accordance with our applicable law. >> so moved. do we have a second? >> second. >> by commissioner sarah wan. moved and seconded to accept the annual 2018 report as amended. do i -- all in favor? [voting] >> any opposed? a any -- motion passes. next item. >> so in the last couple months, since my last director real estate 's report feels like ages ago.
5:08 pm
>> it was last year. >> you heard a couple of things. you heard the award that the school education got from the governor's office. that was wonderful. that was matt rodriguez, the pat of past secretary of -- the past second of cal ed giving us the award. we had a wonderful event, our tree -- tree tipping event, holiday event, it's always amazing how many cameras come out for that. and then, of course, martin luther king day on monday was phenomenal to see the presence of the department of the environment at the celebration. and in terms of what our -- in the last month, we've been working most on as a department is pacific gas and electric, pg&e, is requiring that our energy efficiency program compete with the private sector
5:09 pm
for our energy efficiency funds summing through the public goods charges. so that's a huge change for us, and we had to submit a request for abstract, an r.f.a.? so that got put in just a few days ago, and the energy efficiency team was working very, very hard to put that forward, and our assumption is because this is public good charged money that regardless of the bankruptcy, this program and these funds will move forward, but of course, there are questions about that. in the near future, we will be launching the electric vehicle road map for the private sector? we will be convening the electric vehicle working group, which our city departments who either procure vehicles or have something to do with installing infrainstruct t infrastructure, so we've lead a multistakeholder road map, how
5:10 pm
do we electrify vehicles. the state of the city address is umm canning up at the end of the month. we hope to have some environmental messages in there. just to put on your calendar, for march, march 13 at 6:30, please, please come join us at cal academy for the green business awards. it's such a wonderful celebration. i would say two of my favorite things that we do to celebrate environmental leadership is one, the green business awards where we're celebrating small business, and the second is the school education awards where we celebrate the students and their teachers and custodians. so those are just super heart warming events to participate in. one is in march, one is in april. so we'll let you know when the school education is, but one march, 6:30 in the evening at
5:11 pm
the cal academy will be the green business awards. i am also pleased to say we have been focusing a good deal in the department what does accountability mean, what does 100% accountability mean? where do we work in ways where we work more effectively as teams and can earn the trust and keep the trust of our colleagues. and one of the things that we've been investigating right now is the set of values that we identified when we did the strategic plan a couple of years ago. and pulling those out again and revisiting them, and i'm hoping that perhaps at a commission retreat we can talk about how we bring those things more explicitly into the department.
5:12 pm
credibility, collaboration, impact, innovation, and equity. and i'm challenging my senior staff, and i'm challenging everyone in the department to think about how we bring those five values front and center and think about how we overlay them in everything we do, and i would like the commission to join me in that, and what does it mean when we bring those values more explicitly to our work otheas a commission? so that is the -- my thoughts for the coming year for 2019. accountability, effectiveness and our values front and center. and we have a lot of work to get done this year, a lot of important plans that are going to be put forward in the coming year to put us on our path towards our -- those bold goals for greenhouse gas reduction
5:13 pm
that were made at the end of last calendar year. we need to get serious, we need to make sure that we're not setting ourselves up for failure. how do we set ourselves up for success. and so with that, do we have any new staff members who are here that want to come up? i don't know that we do. so i think any new staff members, either there are none or they're just not here, but at any rate, that ends my director's report. >> questions, commissioners? any public comment? okay. hearing no public comment, next item, anthony. >> the next item is item 11, nomination and election of commission on the environment president and vice president. this item is for discussion and action. >> so i believe that the
5:14 pm
first -- the president first and then the vice president? >> yes. and we take one nomination at a time, and then, we'll -- the commission will vote each nomination -- vote on each nomination one at a time. yeah, and individuals can also nominate themselves or people who are absent. >> commissioner wald? >> i would like to nominate president bermejo to continue as our president. thank you. i think she's done a fabulous job. her enthusiasm, her energy, her commitment to the department and to the commission have all made -- contributed significantly to this wonderful year that we have just finished
5:15 pm
talking about, and i'm confident that under her leadership we'll have another great year if she is elected. >> i hope i can count on your vote then. i -- i think i have to say i accept. i humbly accept, and i think this is just a -- the great work of this commission and everything that we do with our director because i think we're like a beautiful orchestra, and we all do really well when we are in sync, and debbie has such a wonderful way of leading us to make us enthusiastic for the work that we do. >> is a second needed on that? >> no, but you can second that. >> i wholeheartedly second that nomination. president bermejo has been
5:16 pm
terrific in the last year. in addition for all the work she does for the commission, she's a great spokesperson for the commission. she makes sure that necessary lejs are represented as important measure -- lemgs lation are represent -- legislation are represented as important measures. >> thank you. i just wanted to say that i did the ordinances -- [inaudible] >> -- embellish or try to edit in creative ways, so thank you for that. >> is there any further discussion on this nomination?
5:17 pm
>> i'll chime in. i think one of the things that president bermejo does, and i can tell that even in my short time on the commission, she's a great connector. and her positive energy is just obvious, and she made this very new commissioner feel very welcome and very connected, so i'm happy -- i didn't move quick enough so second, so i'm happy to provide a second second. >> okay. thank you, commissioner sullivan. thank you. i appreciate that. >> all right. >> just real quick, if i could, if i could do the third second. i really thank you for your leadership. i really represent the department, especially for the climate conference, and you did a great job, fabulous. i think we have a great team. >> great team. and i'm missing commissioner
5:18 pm
hoyos today, but i'm sure we'll channel her in some way. >> okay. is there any public comment on this? seeing none, we'll move onto voting for the nomination of elmy bermejo for president. [roll call] >> the nomination passes. congratulations. [applause] >> all right. >> then our next nomination is for the office of vice president of the commission. commissioner wald? >> thank you again. i would like to nominate commissioner stephenson for this position. i have enjoyed my time as the vice president, but i think that this position is one in
5:19 pm
particular that should be circulated on a sort of semi recognize basis through the commission so -- semi regular basis through the commission so that we can all get a closer look at what it means to actually be the head of the commission. and so rather than run again and seek one of you to nominate me, i would like to nominate commissioner stephenson. i think she will work incredibly well with president bermejo. i think she has demonstrated her commitment to the department and the commission over the years. she's learned so much in the years since she's been on the commission. it's been, for me, very gran orien
5:20 pm
orien orien oriente -- gratifying to see you get the pleasure out of the work. so it would give me great pleasure if you would accept. >> i accept. i'll never be able to fill your shoes, but i would be happy to be president bermejo's right hand man. >> can i second? i look forward to working with her closer. >> i couldn't agree more. i'm excited to work with commissioner stephenson because i think she brings a different lens in her work in her business. i just think it's an opportunity for us to work closer, and also, i could learn so much from you. >> all right.
5:21 pm
seeing no further discussion, is there any public comment on the nomination? seeing none, on the nomination of heather stephenson for vice president on the commission of the environment -- [roll call] >> the nomination passes. congratulations. [applause] >> did anybody besides me notice that the men said aye? >> yeah, i was thinking that, actually. [inaudible] >> i don't either. >> aye, i noticed. >> thank you. i think that we're going to work very hard. we always do, on behalf of san franciscans and the commission, and thank you, debbie, for being our leader on this body. so -- and with that, next item. >> the next item is item 12,
5:22 pm
committee reports. this item is for discussion. >> and commissioner wald? we're going to have a report on policy -- policy committee. >> thank you. i'm going to report on our last two meetings one was last year, on december 10. the other one was just last week, i think on january 14. at the december 10 policy committee meeting, we had a presentation from climate program manager wendy goodfriend on the draft san francisco net zero emissions pathway which included a really interesting discussion of our climate goals, the performance of the various sectors and the pathway to net zero, the challenging pathway, i would say, to net zero in san francisco. and we had a presentation by the climate and sustainability
5:23 pm
pac on the san francisco progress report on climate and sustainability. we discussed the progress, some of which was extraordinary, of san francisco's various agencies in meeting their climate action goals, and the assistance that is being provided to them by the department. at our most recent meeting in january , we discussed the only report that we approved just a little earlier. we heard from the toxic program manager, jen jackson, and the senior build coordinator, eden bruckman about the collaborations between the department to bring revisions to the green carpet code and the work that's going to go forward involving paint and other products.
5:24 pm
have a terrific impact on purchases by the city. and we heard a presentation from building and energy analyst ammon regan and barry hooper about the implementation and upcoming revisions to the san francisco building ordinance, and we learned about the -- not surprisingly, the importance of data and tracking improvements and moving the needle on energy efficiency in the commercial sector. two really good meetings, i think -- especially good. >> going to move onto the operations, and then, we'll have questions and then public comment. commissioner stephenson. >> yep. we had an operations committee meeting last week, on january 16, and the bulk of our discussion centered around the budget that we just approved.
5:25 pm
we also heard a great presentation by becca raven about an outreach campaign. it was absolutely fantastic. you probably saw it. it was a campaign about the supergreen program, 100% renewable energy through the cleanpowersf program. you may have seen the ads on buses or bus shelters or across social media. what pi personally, as a media and marketing person loved about this how they took data and insight from a couple of years ago that they realized through surveys and feedback that renters didn't realize that they had access to this campaign or this 100% renewable energy, and just some misconceptions that it was a lot more expensive, when it was only about $5 a month. so they took steps to address things that kept people from signing up.
5:26 pm
the thing that i loved was they carefully tracked the data. the result was a 36% increase in enrollment in the campaign. so it's so nice to see the data being used, and then, the out comes being so positive, so -- >> questions for the -- >> you answered the question i was going to ask, which was, did it move the needle, and i'm so glad it did. >> yeah. >> did we fund that or did the p.u.c. fund that? >> we did. >> actually, we funded it with -- i don't know if you recall, but we won an award from pg&e 1.5 years ago for our step up and power down, but we were competing against san jose. so we won an award, and they gave us prize money, and so we used part of that money to support that campaign. no, p.u.c. did not pay for it.
5:27 pm
we're good team members. >> yes, indeed. >> any other comments or questions? if not, we'll onto public comment on this item. okay. hearing none, next item, anthony. >> the next item is item 13, announcements. this item is for discussion. >> no announcements? any public comment on this item? okay. hearing none, next item, please. >> the next item is item 14, new business and future agenda items. the speaker is charles sheehan, chief policy and public information officer. this item is discussion and possible action. >> thank you, officers. the next policy meeting is february 11. the next commission meeting is march 26, and then, we have an operations committee meeting in may. we're still working out that day. but for our next commission
5:28 pm
meeting, we're looking at bringing to you a presentation on the energy efficiency coordinating committee. they've wrapped up their report and we're looking at bringing that presentation to you. going further into the future, it looks like energy presentation, the energy efficiency topic will be reoccurring probably a couple other times throughout the year. >> commissioner stephenson? >> yeah. i just had a couple of things i thought that maybe we could potentially agendaize for future meetings, whether that's at the operations committee or at the full commission. one is it's been a long time since we talked about green purchasing? i think it would be really interesting to see how that needle has moved across the city and across the city departments? i think that might be ops -- like, appropriate for operations? and the other think just thinking about the five values
5:29 pm
and the equity lens? i know we had a presentation years ago on product diversity, and i thought that would maybe not an interesting thing for us to cover, as well. >> thank you, commissioner. we are -- have taken note of that. i believe for the green purchasing item, i believe we might be bringing that forward in the may operations meeting, so stay tuned on that. >> okay. commissioner wald. >> and i was wondering whether or not it would be appropriate at some point in time for us to hear a presentation on pg&e bankruptcy and options and what the department is doing with the p.u.c. to examine those options and make recommendations, if any, to the city as to how we should respond. >> thank you, commissioner.
5:30 pm
>> it's a little tricky, i understand. >> yeah. we'll have to take that back and obviously talk to our p.u.c. colleagues. >> but i would be interested in hearing about it. i've already been told a member of the public, it's been explained to me the difference between -- which i've obviously forgotten -- clean power and community choice -- no, public power and community -- >> yes. >> yes. >> any other comments? if not, any public comment on this item? okay, hearing none, next item. >> the next item is item 15, adjournment. the time is 7:05 p.m. >> thank you. thank you, anthony.
5:31 pm

>> thank you. since this is retro to january, how does that work for us in the city class. >> that is a very good question. the lease right now is on month-to-month, so we have received january's at rent. i will have to find out what happens with rent payments. that is not one of the issues that we have had brought to our attention that we wouldn't be receiving rent from the airport, but the partial shutdown does definitely apply to the f.b.i., but i will find out and get back to you. i don't know for certain. i know that -- i know their current state, but i don't know what happens in february. i will find out for you. >> thank you. any other questions? i have a couple of questions. piggybacking a supervisor walton 's question, if they are late in paying their rent, is a penalty? >> i believe it would just be a standards. most leases that we have, and i believe this also applies to our leases with the federal government, they carry some sort of a security deposit.
5:50 pm
i think that until they are current, the rent would be taken out of their security deposits. i don't think we would be in a situation where they would be delinquent on their rent. all of our leases make accommodations for some sort of potential lapse in rent, and that would apply to our agreements with the federal agencies as well. >> okay, thank you. i'm just concerned because on the news this morning they were mentioning that this could go on for a couple of months. i also want to know, what is the role of the f.b.i. at the international terminal? >> the f.b.i. has a presence at the airport to investigate any sort of criminal activity, people coming and going, they work hand-in-hand with customs to flag people who maybe on the no-fly list, things like that. they have an extremely large presence. i believe there are only eight federal officers that work out of the f.b.i. office at the airport. >> do you know --
5:51 pm
>> do you know how many? >> i would be happy to find out. >> i appreciate it. you say they work with customs. is that correct class. >> i believe so. their role at the airport is to make sure that people entering into the country are not someone that the f.b.i. is investigating >> do know the number of personnel that are at the international terminal class. >> with the f.b.i., i believe it is eight. my recollection is there are eight officers at the airport. let's hear from the budget legislative analyst now. >> this is a successor contract an existing contract that was brought to the board in 2011. it is a three year extended contract to 2022, however, the f.b.i. can terminate it after two years, i believe there is a discussion about them moving
5:52 pm
into alternative space at the airport. of the rent in the contract is based on the airport's fixed rates and charges approved by the airport commission each year pick what they have done, instead of having three years offsetting each year, they project what the escalation in the rent would be over the next two years, and average it out over the term of the agreement. this is consistent with some other comparable leases the airport has. the total rent and operating cost to the airport over the three years is $1.8 million, and we do recommends approval. >> thank you very much. any other questions or comments? i would just like to ask her to respond in writing to the questions that i have proposed today, and to get deeper knowledge about the role that the f.b.i. plays throughout this i would like to make a motion to -- public comment, you are absolutely right. let's open it up for public comment. are there any members of the

5:55 pm
the item before you seeks your approval -- of the three items before you seek approval for three new concession leases and a terminal one harvey milk terminal with retail stores. all three leases were the result of a request for proposals process for retail concessions in terminal one for a newsstand, bath and beauty store, and a specialty sunglass retail shop. each lease will pay either the greater of a minimum annual guarantee, or the percentage rent. these leases have terms of seven years, with two one-year options to extend. the rents associated with each of the three leases are $135,000 , $220,000, $126,000. the rent for all of these three concessions will be paid at a 50 % rate over the staggered
5:56 pm
opening of the terminal, however , based on previous sales of these concepts in these locations, airport staff does believe that all three of the leases will be paid on the higher percentage. the budget analyst office has reviewed and recommends approval , i would be happy to answer questions. >> thank you very much. any questions? let's hear from the b.l.a., please. >> these leases are part of a solicitation for retail concessions in terminal one. the three leases before you today, the score that they received in terms of the r.f.p. process are on page 21 and 22 of the report. page 23 we summarize the term of these leases. each of the lease this is for seven years. they will be phased in because of -- over the first 21 years, terminal one renovations will still be in process, so they
5:57 pm
don't actually start paying the full minimum guaranteed rent until the second part of the lease. we do summarize that those amounts on page 24 of the report , as stated, will be paying a percentage of rent received, or the minimum annual guarantee. i believe the airport's assumption is they will be paying percentage rent. the rents we estimate will perhaps be higher than what are in the reports, and we do recommends approval. >> thank you very much. any other questions, i have one question for you. where there any local businesses that bid on these retail concession leases? as the office reported, these are three of seven concepts. i can find out for you were each of the three proposed are located. i don't know offhand, but i do
5:58 pm
know that there are elements of the r.f.p. that emphasizes local concepts and businesses. they don't get extra points necessarily for being located locally, but if their concept is local, and they have done business in san francisco, that is highlighted in the r.f.p. >> thank you. >> i will find out for you for all seven. >> i appreciate it's, thank you. let's open it up for public comment. are there any members of the public would like to comment? public comment is now closed. i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. can we take that -- okay, great. good. madam clerk, can you please call item number 10. >> item ten resolution supporting the city's participation in the united states census census, authorizing the city administrator to designate the office of civic engagement to
