subcontract participation requirement. and established economic thresholds for sizes for lbe to ensure it is capturing the smallest businesses in the city. the economic thresholds based on the company's annual gross ropes there are 3 categories. sba-lb the biggest and a category established to help transition out of the program and competing on large are projects. small lbe and micro, half the size of small lbe and the smallest of the small businesses in the city. november of 21. the law that created the lb program, updated by the board sprierdz and it is mayor apply a new and future contract that were advertised after july first

22. allowing and that law updated the allowing of subcontracting compliant. neighborhood preferences and defined trucking participation requirements. focusing on supporting small businesses. new and future contracts the exciting thing i would like to share worked with the monitor division to be the only average to adopt those programs on 2 of our projects. new city distribution headquarters build and our wastewater treatment plant. those projectses predated the law and -- would not have otherwise applied. puc did this right-of-way because we have a history of leadership in small business and inclusion and wants to contain it to support small local business participation. now i want top share how we are

doing on our work. i want to talk about the biosolid facility program mention in the public comments by community contractors related to microlb participation. the data i will show is from our system and showed a positive and factual position for the project. and we want to cell brit that good work by the whole teach. we acknowledge the the data is based on the size and location not granular enough to answer the questions and understands the full picture of the project. the subcontractor requirement was 12%. contract is at 17% lb participation. and that 17% of value of 1.78 billion dollars. a significant amount of money. we heard loud and clear the focus was about microlb e

contracts and contractors. we want to share data around microon the biosolids contract. the intentional strategies we have, we have lead to 77 microlbe's awarded 186 contracts on the contract valued 194ing million dollars. we understands that this contract is in the backyard of many contractors and the firms suffered the impact of puc operations. i wanted share the data prosecute microlbe from district 10. 55lbe awarded 120 contracts worth 112 million dollars. that is subset of a subset. that's the data story from the puc official system and how we

are doing. we heard the contractors that the average [inaudible] and have to be can be doing more. i want to hundred it over to steet so he can talk about plans going forward. thank you. i want to start by taking a moment to say, thank you. a thank you for the partnership we have as we work together in the amazing project in san francisco and takes that our staff, working with our consultants and contractors and the community to deliver these projects. some case we need initial or global expertise and celebrate the w that the core team is dog in biosolids. it needs people and contractors who know our systems and local and committed to getting the work done. not we are trying to find ways to engage and work with the local firms we 92ed their help

to deliver the work. thank you to ben on the contractor assistance center and the staff for their work that lead to the results we have seen on the project. but acknowledge there is more to do as we think about the next project and the next after this and the program as a whole as we work. so to listen and understand and better understand, i personal low am long with members of the team including ben meeting with local contractors over the last year. and in fact, over the last couple weeks when folks did give comment we met with them and continued to mote and enengage extend better and what those needs are and sxrns how we take action and work together. the first is the need to reinstate or redo the liaison role of community contractors on

large capital projects. like biosolids it has been helpful in the past for inclusion special equalization. in response i think we have 2 items i like to see. one the assist annual center successful. one stop shop to support the businesses and continue to yesterday and ensurety service the center provide are meaningful and meeting the needs of today. >> the liaison rule in the contractor team has been helpful. we are work to claire foil naposition. and the function its furthermores and electric to see how we complrn what we can apply in the future to effectively prescriptionalize that rowel. an opportunity to work in that pace. additionally, we notoriety process of developing a planful considering the size of the plan now and all the work nap uc and the city is dog we want to be

nobody care body stuff. the fact that i than in my day job i spent because of pla compliance or other out reach and workforce development i pent time at the development. a buzz activity. people getting trained. not the pla where people knew there would be labor standards and lbe was going to be taken care of the extra depth this seems to happen i think reflect in the your report. i think it is important and i won'ting have to monitor it. i'm proud san francisco is an area we do money things to take care of this grand infrastructure we have.

equation and mote in the middle and understand the need and move forward. an individual or team part of contractor's team. was that part of the contractor team or our team? it helped in both ways the idea to clarify the rules and how they should operate. biosolids contract has a rule they are using i think well is room to improve or strengthen that. and think about how we take the lessons and best practice and think about next contracts. than i are using someone?

this conet ceteraivity is stronger i say, yes it has been successful and the contractors when spoke are asking for that to be stronger. we want to encourage this and do it well. when i think about electric trids or mechanical heavy painting or plaster or framework will not happen until later in construction. there is nothing to paint yet. i way tong about how timing works and the arrive people in at the right time. >> thank you. i want to thank you for (ing and i you know i always appreciate seeing data it is useful to us and you. you know, i did some back calculation, 60% of dollars gone

man hole -- fix or replace am. and upon 6h. i say 6f and g, a lot of similarities but 2 different set of biddings and contractors. happy to try and others are here. >> fgnh are sewer contracts and f and g is easy, f a collection of streets for bricks or rehab. we groove together the learning are suers the brick tech untiling we use like lining it is different from open. and happening know how we make

that competitive to contractors. g is for the will [inaudible] project. and a specific element of the learninger project. that includes up strolls to improvements you will see for, ward of w w 19a and some when i call mid stream for existing storage boxes and a new tunnel constructed. not just in one mrarj contract we have different technologist making them right sized for the strep and market so contractors can responded. >> also -- i hear is depending which part of the city they work on the age. style is different we need different contracts. that was my question. commissioner maxwell.

>> thank you. you know had do they decide to use tunnel and big pipes i read and thinking, a tunnel. and there is usually using the huge pipes a difference in when they do and how does this? >> for the folsom project the tunnel is one element of part of the solution. one of 2 learning are storm water projects we have in the plan the other lower alemany. we did have discussion with the commission and spent a year looking at ieflts how to do that project the folsom project example we go through the normal process. need and alternate i was and move to upon design of the we looked at can we conhave a problem with a tunnel. do we store it is and delayed

the flow from down stroll? or do coming else to capture upstream. those work in different levels of participation. in this case the 70th and folsom flooding hot spot is addressed with the solution we come up with. upstream small diameter sewer improvements. opening update flow and down stream tunnel. the guess fast and furious. a huge pipe does not? a tunnel is a huge pipe temperature is the same the we use tunnel because of the technique used to construct that tunnel. using a machine. sometimes with know operator inside and sometimes not. in the machine and moving under ground. the work at hetch hetchy was

using tunnelling techniques they are different ways. pipes not guilty ground this is with open kcet or trenchless technology we opening statement ground. thank you. commissioner paulson. >> thank you, mr. robinson on the record item 6 this commissioner as no questions. public comment? member hos wish to make 2 minutes of ment on item 6, consent. press star 3 to speak. do we have anyone present for comment on consent? do we have callers with hands raise snd >> there are no callers in the queue. thank you, public money item 6 is closed. >> if there are no more comments or questions can i have a motion

i'm going talk what ask driving the rate increase. what the rate increase is and put this in context of historic and projected rate increases. you heard, our wholesale water rates set on contract with customers. so they are formulated. this year there are 2 things driving the rate increase. first is this water sales vol unanimous are low based on trend lines. you have low are water sales you need higher rates to collect the same money that is driving the increase. second is well is a mechanism in the war supply agreement the beens account photocopy it has a balance owed we can use that to reduce rates for future years. we have been doing this for years nought balance is projected to be paid off the end of the current fiscal. without that rates need to go up. talk about each in a bit more

detail. >> this chart shoes the projected and historic water sales with customers on the top and retail on the bottom. water sales impact the rate in 2 ways. one the allocation of costs between retail and wholesale is based on usage when retail usage is low like now, that means customers pay a greater percentage of shared costs. had that mean system with our customers now having low costs wholesale rates need to be higher. same time, wholesale forecast usage is used in the denominator of the calculation. it is expensive divided by volume. when usage is low this monies you saw for a higher rate >> we are forecasting next year sales 122. sick million gallons per day that is not the lowest not the lowest in the last draught but it is pretty low by

historical standards. we then and there commission lifted draught restrictions and expecting to see rebound. but that does not help over night. we heard from wholesale customers they expect some number of years before they get to predraught usage and don't believe than i will fully recover. we then and there some permanent low changed the way hair use water during a draught they have water efficiency and change habits we are expecting to see a recovery over the next few years. similarly, we are recovering the covid-19 pandemic. we believe in our forecast consistent with most of this impact going, way by next year temperature lingering i bit and impacting water sales. so, what happen fist our forecasts are off. they are hard to predict.

that's yet balancing ash counsel exist. this chart shoes the balancing account the past few years in the next few years. you see in face cal 20 ton the balance owed to customers grew to 63 million dollars. this happens when we set rate and the customers buy more water then and there we expect. had that happens we collect more money. we did not money to get this much money. that's the primary driver of you've in balance is high. the other one i want top high sloit that the puc did a really good job in years had we had low rates at refinancing our water bonds. that meant the desk service paid dropped a bit. we raised rates. expecting know amount of expense and water sales. then the expense drop exclude water sales went up. all of these contributed to the

high balance account owed. we are catchingum. we paid it off and projecting the end of the fiscal year. won't can't subtract out from the total amount we need to collect. we have to set the rates to cover costs we have to catch up. this will slide is the match i put in. we are forecasting a 9 president 7% rate increase for next fiscal year. 5.21 for every ccf they buy. the formula the revenue requirement. plus the balance. in this year they will owe us 5 million dollars. divided by usage. >> i want to end with context a fair low rate increase last

fiscal year. however if you look at the middle of the line graph you see what their rates werey at 4 upon publicity 10 for 6 years. those were the years we built up the account and say we can't afford it we need pay this off. there are come plexity in the chart i will not go into. but theically thing i want to highlight we are forecasting rate increases will not be this flat with huge jumps going forward. we are doing when we can in the mechanisms of the agreement to keep rate increases on steady trend reflective of changes. the last thing we provide an somewhat of the range for next fiscal to customers in january. rate we promoez pose now is lower. driven by fact that our water

usage next year expect to see recovery from the draught. it is low it is higher than expected before. . and with this i will take questions. >> thank you. clothes any questions or comments? >> i would like to say, thank you. well done. i mean you were photocopy f had me it was great. thank you for the clarity of the report. jowl are welcome. >> that was excellent. i don't mind having equations in there. but you know i think one thing i want to say is -- i think it is worth for people to know one ccf is how many gallons. 748. >> so, 5 dollars per 748 gallons. thank you. >> i have no more questions. can we have public comment.

thank you. >> members when wish to provide 2 minutes of remote comment on item 7 press star 3 to raise your hand. do we have members present to provide comment on item 7? do we have callers weapon hands raised? >> there are 2 callers in the queue. >> thank you. hello i opened your line. >> good morning. this is nicole [inaudible]. thank you for this presentation i want to be in support of the action. thank you very much. thank you for sharing your comments. good afternoon this is peter policy director for the tuolumne

river trust. want to congratulate erin on a great presentation. very clear and a lot of good information. my take away is that the demand be lower than what is in theure badge water management plan. and that's always the case. management plan off in the range of 25-30%. and i heard a number of commissioners say that they think this the demand will being lower fran projected and nothing changes. the alternative water supply mrun will receive in july is based on urban water management plan projections. and projecting that the demand need to make up 94mgd of supply through aisle water splice. there is a lot of concern about rate increases. and investing in unnecessary

alternative water supplies will add to that. and obviously from our perspective the inflitted demand projections have an impact on the tuolumne river with the design drought which says am suggested unlike low to happen. suing the state water board over a plan you can manage. so. i'm hoping you will have a conversation about this and adjust the demand. thank you very much will thank you. there are no more callers in the queue yoochl thank you, common law comment on item 7 is closed. >> thank you very much. were if there are no comments can i have i motion and second

the balboa reservoir. puc entered in the sale agreement to silent land for 11.4 million dollars in february of 2021. that sale closed in december of 22. then the puc enter in the i secured promise carry back note with bhc balboa builders 11, 695, 000 plus interest. called for the buytory build infrastructure, public space and development of market rate and affordable housing with a payment schedule on that simultaneous development. the market conditions have changed. what that means for the reservoir project the market rate house suggest in the moving forward at this time of the of bhc and manager bridge housing obtained state grant and other

fundses to allow for the development of utility infrastructure and 2 affordable housing buildings concysting of 290 affordable unit in a small are phase one. to allow for this change, maintaining puc's security for the loan, we are here to ask for approval to amend the loan documents. had will not change is the payment price. the interest. or the outside maturity date of develop 2028. what will change is the schedule of payments making next payment on or before develop 31 of 26. at this time puc will release the deed of trust we hold for the land which the loan has been paid back. amendment allows for fleck ability should the market change, bhc prosecute seed to develop more by making payment and receiving the deed of trust

for the portion paid this . it is a win/win allows puc to obtain the payment of the purchase price with interest and allows bridge to fast electronic the development of affordable housing the amendment requires board approval. which approved the original loern document. we ask you approve this resolution, approving the loan document amendment and recommending to the board to approve the same. i'm happy to answer questions. >> thank you. commissioner paulson. >> mr. flynn, thank you for that report. and interesting to hear how this project is moving forward fwhauz has been in the work for awhile and i guess i just was surprised that -- this criminal up in general considering this was at least purchase was a done deal and no terms of the purchase

taking care of. so, i know that on a political level how housing gets built is not inner purvow i'm going to passport this but i need to note that i was surprised that much financing had to be taken care of which is tricky in order to make sure that the project gets done but acknowledges the fact this there are things different then and there market that are impacting the ability to -- move the deed forward and whatever the will legalys process is.

the upon around payment was in 23, 2 and 25 and pay payment of 400 thousand dollars in 2026 and later a balloon payment. we are we are having -- a payment happen in 2026 to cover all of the land that will be released at that time. it is a different phase one not the phase one in the loan documents but they are not paying the interim payments they are but must pay to get the

release of the trust. they tone but we hold a deed of trust. that can't process the project and get all of their loan agreements done until we release this portion. our garnt remains there. it is pushed out the timing of the payment with interest to december 26. we would have had 3-4 payment in this time. which we will not be receiving. we'll receive it at once with interest. >> to clarify when you say purchased it but not released the deed they have not paid fully that's why? >> that's right. >> right. >> we entered in a sale agreement which closed and enter in the a loan agreement where we loan them the money to purchase it and as our security for this loan agreement we to being a deed. trust to take it back temperature is their's but we have the 80 to take it back. when we will release silent

right to take back that land as they actually pay for it. >> i want to make sure we have all the stopgap measure in accomplice if things don't work out or manage. especially when it come to releasing the deed and the second thing was -- obviously, i think the enter is 3%? >> yes. >> right. which is -- today the interest is higher. >> correct. we are not changing the price or the interest. obviously we need affordable housing which is an important part and they will build infrastructure but i want to make sure we always like we build enough flex at in these to make sure if things don't go well and losing end we can be able to do manage to protect our

assets. in different ways. that was a deal point but the puc we were adamant we would not release the throaned have it built on before the money was ratepayers received the money that was a line and there was time for bridge and their and -- the major's office on economic development to work this out. that line was person to us and knew today be to you and held and is in the documents. >> thank you. so any other if there are no more comments or question consist we have public comment. member his wish to make comment on item 8 press star 3 to speak. do we are members presents to comment. do we have call weirs hands

raised. there are no callers. >> public comment on item 8 is closed. >> colleagues if there are in comments or questions can i have a motion? thank you. . roll call. >> president, jamy. >> aye >> upon violet maxwell. >> aye yoochl commissioner paulon. >> aye >> commissioner riverasm >> aye >> thank you. item passes. thank you. >> thank you. >> could you read the next item >> item 9, authorize the gm consent on the puc commission to inner agency agreement with the trans bay joint powerhouse authority and san francisco and adopt findings pursuant to the environmental equality act mitigation in monitor and reporting program.

>> good afternoon. ron flynn. i'm here to ask the commission to authorize the scombrrnl manager to consent to inter~ average agreement with the city and the transbay joint power's authority to adopt findings pursuant to ceqa and mmrp. tjpa the joint powerhouse authority completed phase one of the project. which includes the construction of the sales force transit center. it is active low working on phase 2. which consists of downtown rail extension, connect the train system. cal trin president state high speed train system by california high speed rail authority to the train box that has been built in the existing sales force transit

center. the downtown rail extension will require collaboration with the city and many departments including it is puc. there will need to be permanent and temp refer relocation protection in accomplice, replacement and repair of city assets. including storm drains and other portions of the sewer system. low pressure water lineful water supply system. power and street lights. each the enterprises water, wastewater and power have assets impacted by this project. to facilitate the cooperation needed for construction of the rail extension the office of economic and workforce development negotiated a citywide inter~ agency agreement with input from each city department. this will allow the coordination of work and important low reimbursement for all work done

boy puc in support of the project. once each board approves the crooperation agreement and should the board approve the same. each department will enter in annual scopes and budget a templet for the puc is, tamped at common pages b3 to 7 of your package. thein are agency agreement is set up so each general manager delegated authority to the scope. the puc form of the budget includes the list of relocations. the work on the water pressure system the work in analysis that will be given for strategies on sanitary and storm sewer design.

it calls for actual make the ceqa findings. all the information in your package it started with the 2004eir that appropriated on the original terminal downtown exception. that was amended in 2018 when a final supplemental eir was issued. and in 2023tjpa adopted an adentsum. those documents are in your package and whale ask is for to you approve the inter~ agency

agreement and ceqa findings. i'm prepared answer questions. >> commissioner paulson. >> this seems like a no brainer. but when is come to high speed rail it seems like a no brain they're is in the the way things have worked. i believe that here in san francisco anything we do to facilitate this move forward not just for san francisco and in our piece of it but state wide is important statement for those who believe in having high speed rail and we are lagging so far behind. to continue this cooperation and get our duck in order so people can say more than there is an area. near fresno high speed rail is boom figure you had a major accomplice like san francisco where we have a transit enter. the so called. you know grand central of the

west coast or how we like to brag about it we move it forward to be intgradual part of the next step of the instruction simples i support this and this sounds like a no brain and without getting in the details when interaction is with another authority am thank you. i will support this. >> thank you. >> mr. flynn i appreciate your presentation. i have a few comment and questions. one is -- the vaness project is fresh in my head. and i think there were specific recommendationos this project on you know asset management. how things were managed not knowing where different assets are. alegality of destruction in the process. so i'm wonder figure there is a need for toendz dheep in minds

and approach this -- in a strategic way with tjpa and others. another piece on that project and a lot of eings we have i'm like wonder figure you are creating dig at that time mapping of assets. replaced, fixed, moved or open up and something has been there for a hundred years we don't know which part of this street is on. so, it would be good to have a form of strategic to make sure -- as the projects are done we are track assets and creating maps and blueprints where they are which situation they are in. if -- things are -- some of this

would lead into some replacements or fixture of our infrastructure but it is good to know where they and are what is going on with them. so. those are 2 things that come to minds the contract. i know it is a process but i want to make sure as you and mr. herrera are involved in this process keep this in minds. >> we will. the vaness project the city itself sfmta was responsible for implementing and involved coordination with dpw and puc and as the report indicated there were problem in this coordination and that lead to contract over runs and other things as the report said. there was disputes whether that was a slow cause but i understands your concern there. them is a slightly different project. you are correct that it is still

involved under the ground this is a project that will be built if it is built by an authority the trans bay joint power authority, which will do the construction. they are working closely with us to timed out just that information to get depailed as possible because the under grounds asset in much of the area is very crowded. and so if you think about adding infrastructure to that area. we already have sewer pipe and water pipes and abandoned other pipes going out and figure this out. part of when they are paying us to do is to dig in come look and find out what is there and when would have to be moved. if it has to be moved, where can it be moved if not can your thing go around and involved detail. i don't know the answer as to who is keeping the dig at that time mapping i will look into

that and this is a good idea for you to add to the library while we under take this large project. thank you. can we have public comment. member hos wish to make remote comment press star 3. do we have member front provide comment? do we have callers with hands raised? >> there are no callers wish to provide comment at this time. >> thank you. public ment on item 9 is closed. >> if you have no more comments or questions can i have a motion and second. >> moved. >> second. >> thank you. can we have a roll call. >> president ajami. >> aye. >> vice president maxwell. >> aye >> commissioner paulon. >> aye >> commissioner rivera. >> aye. >> item passes.

can we have the next item. >> item 10 public hear to consider one adopting schedule of rates for the san francisco puc power enterprise for cleanpowersf power service in san francisco effective july 1 of 23. and 2, adopt a mechanism to set temporary rates for new schedules to apply in the the california puc approves 1 per pacific gas and electric and use a new methodology for initial rate based to the clone clean default rate schedule and customer class to the next clone clean rate setting process. principle ref mou and rate's

analyst. and financial planning team i'm here to propose agenda item to adopt cleanpowersf fiscal 23-24 retail rates. the presentation will start with the cleanpowersf rate lands scape. fiscal 23-24 rate setting process. revenue, cost of service rates, prepares cleanpowersf rate and bill impact. then rate setting temp refer rates for mule rates schedule using a new methodology. >> starting with cleanpowersf rates landscape, we are required by the san francisco city charttory perform a rate study every 5 years by an inspect consultant. puc new strategies and solutions to conduct the 22 power rate study the first rate study for cleanpowersf since the program inception.

staff proposed one year fiscal 22-23 of rate so the 8 to respond to the high low volatile energy marth. we were seeing at the time of the study. due to conflict and supply chain disruptions from covid-19. the commission adopted fiscal year 22-23 cost service rate in may of 22. i like it highlight the out come to the study. to ensurety financial health and sustainability of cleanpowersf by setting rates based on cost of providing service to customers prioritize needs and support the city's climate action goalless. i like to highlight this fiscal 22-23 rates were decreased from the prior fiscal year. generation rates decreased by 8% for residential customers and 11 television 15% for commercial

customers. and currently, average cleanpowersf residential customers see total bill savings of 9%, average custody admirals of 10 to 14% by choosing cleanpowersf as their power supply provider. >> i'm here today to propose rates for 23-24. part of the process i like toarc knowledge many of my colleagues in finance, power teams this was a collaboration to set cost of service rates for cleanpowersf. staff updated the revenue requirement adopted in the 10 year plan. to enstewart this new rates cover the increase cost. leverage analysis from thes power rate study updating the power supply costs for classification and weighted energy price for customer cost

per allegation. rate design analyzed bill impact on clone clean customers proposed rates. comparris cleanpowersf customer bills to pg sxeshgs. weather they needed rebalance and revenues to ensurety nieced would be met. this next slide shoes revenue requirement complayering projections the time of the rate study and updated point in the financial plan. each shoes the fiscal years of 2 time points with the left slide for fiscal come left side for 23-24. both years the change and expend tours driven boy power supply costs. pricing increases by 60% from the time rate study. cleanpowersf, power supply costs makes update bigef share with retail revenue requirement. 91% accounting and including

prit and capitol expend tours for fiscal 23-24. shown in yellow components the power supply will increase by 2 million this fiscal and 67 million in the next fiscal from the time rate study. in order to meet this retail ref now requirement of 369 million, in fiscal 24, staff is prosecute posing a 15% increase in cleanpowersf generation rates of adopted in the 10 year plan. as shown here in yellow, power supply cost is the biggest driver and for all customer classes. the next shows cleanpowersf generation rates for default green product. following slides will be visual but i would like to make this point here that cleanpowersf only controls and sets the generation component of

the total bill. as a result with the proposed rate. clone clean residential customers will see a total bill increase of 4-7%. and similarly, commercial customers on default rate schedules total bill increases of 3-8%. even with the proposed rate increases cleanpowersf is able to provide greener and low are priced energy for resident and businesses that pge. all cleanpowersf customers will see total bills lower than comper seeable current pg and e rates. i will go over the next they are busy. in the interest of time i will make the key point that customer on a residential default rate schedule will see an action of 6%. but still see 3% savings

comappeared to pg and e. over all, average residential customers on different rate schedules see bill increases of 47% but still see savings of 0.5 to 3% relative to comper seeable pg and e customers. next is small commercial customer. a total bill increase of 4% with proposed rate and savings of sick % compared to pg xeshgs rates. if there are questions i can dive more in at the end. over all, commercial customers on default rate schedules will see total bill nblg increases 3-8% and still see savings of 6-13% relative to comper seeable pg and e customers. >> rounding out this item, staff would like to propose a

method for setting temp refer rates per new rate schedules. pg and e remains the delivery service provider for cleanpowersf customers. who receive their bills also from pge. clone clean rate schedule matches to that of pg and e. organizationally, pg and e offers a new rate schedule after approval and example of which is a residential electric home rate schedule we adopted a few months ago had well is a new rate schedule cleanpowersf has a competitive need to implement itself companion rates f. it does not, customers with wish to sign up will have pg and e as an sxopgz if they were a clone clean customer they valid to opt out of cleanpowersf.

to avoid this, staff is proposing for the commission to allow general manager to implement new rate schedules and set rates using a formulated new rate schedule methodology until the next rate setting process. when can it be implemented? only when pg and e offers a new rate schedule. stof is proposing that setting not only because it stream lines the rate setting press and uses staff and public's time efficient low but also it provides alternative power supply for customers to choose the city climate action to reduce e missions and higher renewable energy and preventses opt outs. staff is prosecute posing to set temp refererates shown on this slide. with 2 steps. and lastly i

rounds out this is a case example of new methodology we adopts e elect rate in resolution 23-0015 in january 10 of 2023. that concludes this presentation and thank you for your time and here to answer questions you may have. >> thank you so much. commissioner maxwell. >> would you explain default? >> what you mean by default setting? >> sure. for each customer class there is a rate schedule that a customer is defaulted and the key rate schedule. each customer there are other rate schedules customers choose to fit their needs on -- what their appliances are. and so forth. the default rate schedule is which for each customer class most customer classes are placed

not guilties they choose other rate schedules. >> was this clear? >> yea. >> may be you can so i guess the question is, i am talk about default rate schedule are we talking about how each person's when each person's rate is increased or which rate model they are buying into n. like us or pg and e can you elaborate had you are talking about. >> sure. i think the latter. it is what rate schedule than i are assigning up for. for example, for residential customers the default rate schedule is calls e time of uc. if a customer sign up for a residential customer they would be accomplice in the that as

default. if they choose other rate schedules because time of use fits better for their electric when appliances they have or ev they choose to move in an another rate schedule. sign up for another rate schedule >> what would be my option fiment to choose another rate schedule? there are many and for residential there is different time of use. e time of use. different time of use time window bunkham e [inaudible] p. and a flat rate which is e1. which is just an in the dollar per -- does in the matter when they use it it is how much they use and multiplied by that rate there is ev, ev1, two, ev and so forth for upon many residential customer classes. and for commercial customer classes there is i list of rate scheduled included in the

resolution at the end for each customer class there are different rate schedules. >> are you saying in the most default is the most common. why correct. >> you can see that. yes. >> basically people are on default unless otherwise they decide move to another rate schedule. means that they have to have an understandings of what other rate schedule works for themful how it works and the defull is manage that majorities of people are on. >> yes. >> when do -- let's just -- ask for when i decide it go with cleanpowersf do a make that then or any time i can go online and change my >> you can go any time and change the rate schedule.

if you were a residential customer and sign up pg sxeshgs will accomplice you in the default. and there will be other rate schedules shoe want to switch. >> okay. this matches the dynamic pricing in a way. right? like time of the day. pricing a bit. was this clear? >> another question but -- thank you for that. thank you for both of you.

so then it says the proposal. and that is to allow the gm to implement new rate schedules temporary rates. and until the next comp pensive rate setting process? so then he would be able to do the general manager would do that for am a temp refer amount of time. so would not go into would not be all the time? it would be until the next rate study. >>. s at this moment we are looking at setting rates annually longer term we hope biannual. and stablingized more. at this moment we look at annual rates. this is proposal came about with staff as we were working on the e electorate. when new rate schedules come up we don't have billing customer

profile and data. it is setting an approach to use staff, commission time and the publicy time and adopt when pg and e opens a new rate schedule. >> general manager have a formula then. that we would all be aware of and understand. this is a form almost he used to make this decision and until the next rate study and that is so that we can be nimble as we can with pg and e. um, is there going to be a time when we are not going to be tieed pg xeshgs and when they do? >> um -- that it is a challenging question to answer. i do know this since pg and e is the delivery service now. and rate schedule and down to

the time [inaudible] and [inaudible]. >> we don't think they would do something like put us out on a scomplim say we will do this and watch what they do to keep up. gee don't feel that will be an issue? do we? >> i'm not sure i understand. see if i can i think that when you are seeing here. the first question, is it issure who except you are aware we have been w to change the model. we have things here in san francisco and we are continuing with the proceedings at the cpu c in the hope this is we can take over. we are trying to come up with a form well allow you to be nimble to compete where we are not in a disadvantage that the purpose.

they are doing something if we do it they are bigger they have more customer base. they may lose something but not as disasterous. i think it is this is why. that was the whole purpose for doing this annual or biannual so we are not in that position. and we will have a formula. attached. >> okay yoochl commissioner maxwell. if they set a rate way lower than other residential rates we'll set ours lower. in order for them to do this they would have to lose monetch we match them with this form

well. >> because in the last slide you had. >> that's the equation. >> that's correct. and really this is no change from the way we to it if we are coming back for the reschedules. this authorization skip this is and says dot same we do without a commission item and back when we have data to do the update to our over all rates. >> considering the customers which customer class has that -- i wonder what is the proportion of the customer class we have most is residential or commercial. do we like -- do you then and there pie chart. >> you know it does not need to be accurate but -- so in terms

of the number of customers the learningest are residential. commercial customers they make up the biggest pie of the share. that was woj thing. second thing was you know i'm like very much worried about the dash line. i'm contransplant low worried we will lose our competitive edge. and you know we are moving from 8 dollars to 3 dollars. and -- that's really a bit of a concern to me. not because i think what we are propose to people and they are selling is more join us in this clean energy movement.

but obviously you know we can if we lose our competitive edge we can have it being the disadvantage. i think it is important for me to even if we don't have to approve the rates every time. i would like us to hear every time this happens. i don't want it to be approve today and moved forward and needs to be a report of the upon general manager we can see this when is going on. i and i would hope this 3 dollar expand and bigger. so. i know it is market situation are volatile and we will see what happens. and noorthp another thing on the comment that commissioner maxwell made. i do recall for street light and some of the other facilities we have pg and e requiring learning are trans formers or a specific

kind of instruments cost more and don't need to to credit a cost. i wonder how that is playing out as well. >> bash are hill assist jarnl manager. we can report on how this is playing out have you a report in the communication section. of your packet. and that relates to our hetch hetchy program. >> yes. >> and what is presenting today and had you saw in street lights and such and the rates is for cleanpowersf program. cleanpowersf program relies on pg and e distribution. and the customer pace directly for distribution. it is 2 separate program and approaches the transform are occurrence you are talking about to the hetch hetchy program.

thank you. yes. this was my question. i thank you for clarifying those items. it is sort of concerning to see we have to increase the rate and i do understand. we have been having this conversation. on the cost of power and all that. so -- thanks for your presentation. if there are no more comments or questions, can we have a public comment. thank you. >> members who wish to make 2 minutes of remote comment on item 10 press star 3 to raise your hands to peek. do we have anyone to provide comment on item 10? mr. mod river do we have callers with handses raised. >> there are no callers in the queue. thank you. public ment on item 10 is
