and the clean power s.f. a super green right is up to 1.6% with about 5900 accounts electing to receive 100% renewable power from clean power s.f. now i will turn to the slides. last month, during our regular c.c.a. update, the assistant general manager reported on pg and e. 2019 rate proposal, which was supported on -- submitted on april 18th to the california p.u.c. that proposal says that the california p.u.c. approved in june it's rate for implementation in july. miss hale mentioned we were analysing the impact of that proposal on customers and we would come back in may providing an update of implantation of what they took in december. i have a report today on how we are envisioning this. i wanted to remind everyone what has happened over the past few months. then i will summarize that we are proposing to implement the financial impact and what the schedule is looking like. given that we have a couple new members of the commission, we thought it would be appropriate to review a few key terms of come up in

and about this situation -- s.f. viewer, i mentioned kate hartley she is talking about how she literally put up a scale and said, 80%, which is $63,300, is low income affordable housing. people make it a low $66,300, is not included in the housing opportunity. so you are discriminating against them. you are so deeply involved in you discriminatory packages and you discriminate against people that those same skin color as you and then you said, 50% is low, very low income, so that is $41,450. >> thank you, mr. wright. thank you mr. wright. any other public comments? public comment is now closed. strickler, please read the next item. >> item seven, public comment, members of the public may address a san francisco local agency formation commission on matters within their jurisdiction and not on today's agenda. >> i wonder -- public comment? mr. wright. >> all picked up all pick up where i left off. i showed you -- >> okay.

., and also to pay our clean power s.f.nterns a modest stipend, i've been careful not to draw a lot from this fund so we can preserve as much as possible for our work on the local buildout planning for clean power s.f., and as you know it, our previous meeting approved an r.f.q. to retain removable energy experts and i am looking at completing a draft of that r.f.q. also we expect the p.u.c. to approve an extension of the m.o.u. which expires this fiscal year. sometime in late may, which would be the earliest i am told. this next slide is our general fund balance. our general fund appropriation expenditures and the year in balance for lafco from 2007 onward. we have set aside a reserve of about $45,000, or 15% of the annual budget. the second column, bottom figure shows ever projected here in balance and expenditures. that is going to leave us with about $23,000 to carry over into next year's budget. these are our expenditures to date, and everything is pretty much on budget with one exception, and in the last few months, w

citizen, bank on s.f. makes it easy for you to have an account. >> many people do not have a bank account because they might be in the check system, which means they had an account in the past but had problems managing it and it was closed. that gives them no option but to go to a cash -- check catcher for up to seven years. you want to give these people second chance. >> to find account best for you, follow these three easy steps. first, find a participating bank or credit union. call 211 or call one of our partner banks or credit unions and ask about the bank on s.f. account. both -- most bridges will have a sign in their window. second, ask about opening an account through bank on s.f.. a financial partner will guide you through this process and connect you with the account that is best for you. third, bring some form of identification. the california id, for an id, or your passport is fine. >> now you have open your account. simple? that is exactly why it was designed. you can access your account onlin

francis hospital is a super green hero, clean power s.f. super green customer powered by 100% renewable energy. if that is not raising the bar and setting a great example, i don't know what is. by the time that we are done, san francisco's downtown and the entire city will be powered by 100% renewable electricity. earlier this month, i was proud to announce that san francisco has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 6% below the 1990 level. and our goal is 25%. we exceeded our goal and we know that when we make significant investments in significant changes and working together, we can get to great things for our environment. this program will take us even further. with 100% renewable electricity, the largest electricity users can be zero carbon by fully electrifying and getting completely off natural gas. [applause]. >> with 100% renewable electricity, our privately owned zero emission vehicles will truly be zero emissions. that is why today i am directing the department of the environment to convene a public private task force to ex

. >> the first item is clean power s.f. >> barbara hail assistant general manager for power. i have my usual items on customer enrollment and service and a proposal for a one-year ex tense of memorandum of understand the local agency formation commission and status update on rates. so on enrollment, everything seems to be going smoothly and successfully. we have completed the april enrollment we'll now have more than 400,000 customers so we're excited to be serving clean power s.f. the program opt-out percentage is 3% since program launched. an uptick during the april enrollment and we continue to have a 97% retention rate. the super green upgrade rate is 1.5%. we have about 5,700 san franciscans who opted up to 100% renewable power. that's great. and we have a memorandum of understanding with the san francisco local agency formation. nats a -- that's a no-new funds extension of our relationship and i'd be happy answer question that. with respect to rates, pg&e as we shared at our last meeting, pg&e made a rate filing with the california p.u.c. that includes their 2019 that's

a few weeks ago on the anniversary of the 1906 earthquake, we did a test of our s.f. alert system that went out to -- which is a text and e-mail system that went out to 18,000 subscribers of that system. we also maintain the website, which has city now map, and we're able to provide realtime information on that website during special events or emergencies. then finally, we do community preparedness, and education programs in which we are striving to create more of a culture of preparedness within san francisco. diving more deeper into alert s.f., as i mentioned, we have over 118,000 subscribers. that represents about 13% of our population, which is actually in comparison to other big cities, really great. most are between 2% and 5%. we love for that percentage to be higher so i talk about it wherever i go and i'm going to talk about it more today. all people need to do to sign up, go to alertsf.org, or text your zip code in and you're done. the program really helps us get information out quickly to a lot of people. there are many folks that aren't going to subscribe t

i was wondering what kind of follow-up -- and s.f. safe provided really great support when we are for is creating the neighborhood watch group, but i was wondering what kind of follow-up do you do with the neighborhood watch group and ripped guys today functioning? >> with the block captains in the captains we invite them to the meeting. for the incidence you spoke about, we did go out and work with those residents and we worked with the invasions, so we worked with the captain and with benny and wesley goes out personally, so it is all how active your block captain and your captain are at it is also important when you do have new neighbors that you come out and do a refresher because they might not know, it is not starting all over again, but it is definitely giving them the information. they might want to become the captain or they might have more time to become to become more available. that is something we do follow-up. when something happens on the block. we follow up with the block captain and the captain. >> thank you. one addi

and yes the clean power s.f. staff would be absorbed and integrated into this new public power utility. this local not for profit entity. >> commissioner: hetch hetchy too. >> yes. >> and this identifies issues that doesn't resolve them and the report acknowledges there's a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done and a serious offer let alone conclusion of the deal. i would like to see the work plan for addressing the issues and as part of the work plan i'd like to see participation in the issues involved. and we need comment to be provided. and i would like to schedule an item on next calendar if we could to discuss that memo. it will help put the idea of the context of what it means within the context of bankruptcy. we have considered this many times in the context of imminent domain municipalization. this is equally important to understand how that's different and what opportunities and challenges that may present for us. thank you. >> any other comments, commissioners? >> i'd like to highlight eight o

let's play s.f. initiative is committed to building new opportunities for childhood creativity and play. let's play s.f. is a public-private partnership between recreation and park and the san francisco parks alliance give them a big round of applause. [applause]. >> which led to a citizen task force that unanimously recommended 13 playgrounds to be renovated all across the city as the first step in inspiring community creativity and wellness for 20,000 children. we are breaking ground today on not one, not two, not three, but five playgrounds. i skipped number 4, but 5 playgrounds. [applause]. >> we are breaking ground right here at panhandle, we are breaking ground at alice chalmers, at mclaren, in merced heights and in sergeant mccauley in the tenderloin. we are here today in the panhandle because these types of partnerships, in this kind of investment in parks takes leadership. we are joined today by not one, but two elected officials from this community, from this neighborhood. both of whom have

i'm with stop crime s.f. in the fall of 2016, our neighborhood saw a sudden and sharp increase of car break-ins and home burglaries. the neighbors got together to discuss ways to stop this before things got worse and this became the new norm. this was the start of what was to become stop crime s.f. eight neighborhood groups, 500 members, all fed up with rampant unchecked crime. surveillance camera installations now support the police and the district attorney's office in the apprehension of these serial criminals. today's camera ordinance was put together without sitting down to consult with stakeholders such as crime prevention groups, victim's rights groups, anticrime groups, and others first. why wouldn't we consult with stakeholders? we feel this must be done. san francisco has many big crowd events which requires the use of surveillance cameras. other major cities such as new york and boston use these as their large events. why would we not allow law enforcement the best technology we have to enable them

i'm the director of the clean power s.f. program for the pour enterprise. i wanted to welcome our new commissioners, maxwell and paulson. i look forward to working with you. have you before you an amendment and center hill mentioned it in the update to provide a one-year extension to the memorandum of understanding between the p.u.c. and local agency formation. the amendment would extend duties to monitor and advise the p.u.c. and the san francisco board of supervisors regarding the progress of the clean power s.f. development and i implementation. since 2009 p.u.c. and staff have worked pursuant to the terms of the mou. the mou has been amended three times extending the term of the agreement through this fiscal year, 2018-19. and the current amendment whether to provide one year of additional time on the mou at existing funding levels. work will be performed over the next year and work performed over next year will rely on the $200,000 remaining of the initial approved amount from the p.u.c. for 234e -- for the mou and it will extend to 12 years il require

i was allowed to graduate from s.f. state with a criminal biology degree, but i wanted to get a degree in criminal justice. i'm back to school, trying to finish that up. i have a cousin that, you know, i've known him since he was two years old, since he moved here. great child, bubbly. he moved out to the tenderloin, and growing up, he's just been distant. he got to hanging around the wrong people. he doesn't listen to anyone. it's heartbreaking to see these things. i, yeah, just wants to put that out there and share that. thanks. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. my name is michael nolte. i want to thank you for having this hearing but i also want to thank you for having the hearing yesterday on the same thing, particularly, having a hearing on the assets and what does the city pay for? i think if a lot of these people could understand what is being paid for and not being paid for and how to improve it, that's part of the issue we need to address. business owners in the area are concerned about p

so you can check with s.f. oh, there are six drivers who already died while they are waiting for their fair at the airport during the line of duty. this is going to be more and more drivers that will happening because it takes the stress. i don't know how you guys are watching and sitting back. it is already ten years. we are playing the game in the city of san francisco. it is something called the city of innovation, but, i don't know i don't know if it is true or not. please help us. something should be changed. if you cannot regulate them, please deregulate us. give us back our money. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: hello, supervisors and president. my name is mike, i am a tourist guide in san francisco. like port-mac. >> voice of translator: i used to be a tourist touring around chinatown. >> voice of translator: chinatow n has won over 179 years history lang port-mac. >> voice of translator: chinatow n plays a very important role in the his

why is because we believe that all s.f. students, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, should be able to benefit from a lowell education. while we know that acceptance into lowell is mostly dependent on grades and test scores, we believe that there are institutional reasons as to why our groups and communities are not able to attend our school. because these numbers are so low , we see there is a lack of diversity at lowell. >> so not only does the lack of diversity and our groups to attend the school, but physically getting to school is a problem, and affects the decision making process when choosing to attend lowell. over the past ten years of research that included interviews, surveys, focus groups and data collection from different middle school students , we consistently have seen that geography is one of the main reasons why our focal group students do not want to attend lowell, just because it is pretty far away from their neighborhood. so to collect more data about this, we actually created our own s
