commissioner josefowitz? commissioner stephenson? commissioner gravanis? >> i just want to pole dowries i have to leave now. if there is anything you need a quorum for, let's do it in the next 30 seconds because you're going to lose a quorum now. >> we're good. we did go through our action items and just a couple reports and whatnot. all right, so, folks feel comfortable, ideas after interviews, search committee goes out, gets community feedback, goes back, able to incorporate community feedback into the process, making sure it's iterative and that we're able to get a sense of the pool as we come down to the commission making the final decision by what names to forward. >> sounds good. >> okay. any public comment on this item? seeing none, [gavel] >> can we go to the next item, please, monica? thanks, commissioner. >> actually policy committee report, it's a possible action about the reporting that commission of the environment committee resolution in support of proposed san francisco mta commuter shuttle pol

we were talking about the metrics, commissioner josefowitz was talking about the page views. this might be in guillermo's shop. that was so popular on the facebook post we had like 75,000 views just on that post there. so, just to get a sense of what we can do with social media. is that right, about 75,000? so, good, great event and great you had the ability to put that in the annual report, too. well, colleagues? all right, seeing none. any public comment on our annual report? seeing none, thank you very much. [gavel] >> okay, the next item. >> review and approval of commission on the environment draft resolution file no. 2014-03-coe expressing thanks to and recognition of director melanie nutter for her years of service to the department and commission of the environment. this is a discussion and action item. speaker today is commissioner joshua arce. >> so, colleagues, as we all know as we have been talking about in our different times when we get together where it's a few days now at the end of the week of this weekend, director nutter is leaving us. and we thought that w

commissioner josefowitz? >> i think it would be great to talk to the puc about developing renewables on city-owned land outside of the confines of the city and because the city owns, for instance, a very, very large right-of-way on which a lot of the water that is brought into san francisco from various places in the south, from the east. >> okay. >> and i don't know if anybody has -- and i think it's a real opportunity to do two things. one is to look at whether it makes sense to develop solar on that land, and the other one is to see whether it makes sense to develop in conduit hydro which is sort of smaller micro scale type which would put in water pipes or along water canals which can generate a really significant amount of energy -- electricity and given the sort of city such a large player in that, i think that would put -- ~ i'd like to see it on the agenda. >> that's great. we can -- that will be on the list for friday, monica, the conversation. all right. public comment? seeing none. [gavel] >> item

> commissioner wald. >> well, i want to second the thought of -- the suggestion of commissioner josefowitz. and i also want to thank melanie particularly for one of the accomplishments that she had on her watch, and that is the move to the new location where many of the years which i had the privilege to serve on this commission, we have discussed again and again the need for moving from our former location to a place that better served the needs of the department and better expressed its values. and i think it's a wonderful testament to your leadership and to your success in this position that you were finally able to pull it off. and i think it's fair to say that that -- the new space will stand as a legacy to your leadership. and i thank you very much for that. >> commissioner gravanis. >> i'd like to second -- i guess it hasn't actually been moved so i will move adoption of this resolution with the change suggested by commissioner josefowitz to make sure that we include our thanks for the contributions to the environment. >> second that. >> moved and seconded to add -- actually, just a

i meant to say commissioner josefowitz. >> i want to begin the questioning. what's the difference between transportation load share and transportation to [speaker not understood] management? on your previous pie chart there was one slice for tdm and one slice for mode shift. >> transportation demand management, i think that's -- it also includes pricing. cal, you want to respond to that? >> yes. so, transportation demand management a lot of the work our department does. so, it's the car pool program, it's ride sharing. it's gaunter benefits. as cal just mentioned, it's -- sorry, managing demand. so, it can include congestion pricing. so, things we can do to lessen the demand for people driving alone. the mode shift is where we put all the policies that have to do with infrastructure investment. so, bike lanes, more muni buses, more lines for muni, things like that. so, in terms of better safer streets for pedestrians, so mode shift covers all those transportation infrastructure actions where demand management covers the more getting people just to not drive i

. >> commissioner josefowitz. >> will the finalists be coming in to interview? >> yes. >> in front of the whole commission? >> that's something that still needs to be determined as to whether how many we can actually present either to the search committee or to the full commission. that's the last to be determined. >> i don't know again, i'm not on the search committee. i don't want to speak out of place here. but it would be great if we could have at the march 25th meeting, is it, if we could have the opportunity to maybe schedule some more time and kind of clear out the rest of the agenda and have a sort of number of different candidates come in front of us so that we can make -- we can actually sort of interview them [speaker not understood]. kind of release, hear their pitch. i don't know, like speak out of place. >> this is one of the -- this is the point of the forum. until we have a noticed meeting, there's -- as president of the commission, i can't have but one, you know, conversation. and, so, i don't know what folks are thinking here. so, this is a cha

commissioner josefowitz. >> so, does everybody have a copy of the climate action strategy? >> no, coming out next week. >> excellent. is it coming out next week? >> yes. >> that was the good news. i thought i was -- >> oh, -- >> we're going to drop and everything. i missed the opportunity. >> anyway, so, this is i think one of the departments and melanie's great achievements is putting together this climate action strategy which is kind of cool to what the department does, to drive the emissions down to the city's targets. it's been a long time coming, but it's really good. so, really excited to hear about it. >> terrific. well, i'm really excited to give you an overview of it and we can get into more detail and try to answer your questions. and i'm going to try to give you some context about the report itself. before i start, i wanted to make a comment about commissioner arce's request or interest in the holding an event to highlight those departments that have done a great job at hacto. every year in june, we sponsor the blue green awards where we highlight departments th

. >> unless commissioner josefowitz wants to go first. >> thank you. >> i was overly enthusiastic. >> she's getting a little better than last year. >> it's been a learning process for everybody. all of the fleet -- everybody involved with the fleets -- this has been a learning process, to try and figure out how to get similar types of data and how to make it work. >> great. i think, you know, we still -- below a lot of our targets, i guess. but i mean, it's great improvement from where it was before. so, congratulations and keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> hope to continue moving it in that direction. >> thanks, commissioner. i just have one question. when it comes to fleet reduction and green vehicle purchasing, i'm wondering if there's any departments that kind of rise to the top as shining stars and maybe some that are still kind of getting there. and don't worry, it's not like this is a public meeting. it's not recorded. nobody will know. it will be between us. i mean, is there a general sense -- everybody wants to comply obviously if you're going for a waiver. but is there

but to those of us who remained, commissioner arce and myself and josefowitz, it was clear from the pie chart and other materials that y'all have provided us, excellent materials, i should say, that, you know, that investing in that single strategy is where we're going to get the biggest bang for the buck if we're really serious about achieving our previously established goals. >> one of the things that came up in that conversation, if i remember correctly, was that if we put solar on the rooftop of every single building in san francisco to the maximum possible, we will achieve 7% of our electric load. so, what are we going to do about the other 93%? and hopefully with efficiency and some behavior changes and better maintenance and better equipment, et cetera, maybe we can get that -- maybe we can cut our energy use in half, which would get us to 14% solar. so, we still have -- we'd still have 86% to go. so, we've got -- we're up against it. we have to figure a way through this very challenging situation. >> is that 7% of peak, cal? 7% of peak? >> 7% of giga watt hours. so, it's not pea
