we look forward to our follow-up meeting cca -- on cca and setting up a joint meeting with the public utilities commission. again, thank you to the members of the public, to puc staff, lafco staff, commissioners. thank you, madam clerk.

that allows cca stipulates that all cca's must post a bond designed to cover the anticipated costs of, should a cca terminate abruptly, with the ink from a da costa that might be to the utility. cpuc has been charged with determining the method for calculating that. in the last year, we have gone through the regulatory process for that, but the cpuc has not yet issued a proposed decision or comment. at the very least, we know we are a bit least a month, maybe more, from a final determination on that a that is critically important because of our mission. sfpuc has made it clear that they're not willing to launch until they know the specifics of what that bond and that it would result in for calculation. so we are anxiously awaiting that. that is it for my report. happy to answer questions. i know that ms. miller had comments to add. supervisor campos: thank you. ms. miller, if you want to add anything? >> i just wanted to add, your interim executive officer, that in my memo to you, there is a date that is erroneous, which is that the matter would be going to the budget committee on feb

it's not directly connected to the cca. it deals with the larger issues of this commission and that is a discussion that is also taking place. i think the board understands that very important role that the public utilities commission plays. i think there is a real interest in making sure that we have as viable lead agency as we can and we remain the innovative agency that we have been and that we continue to be really leading the way nationwide. >> i want to make sure with mike campbell and clean power sf, the time is enough for the board to get better educated this since it is so complex and of his companion re peace. i would urge the staff to make sure that as these hearings get scheduled -- there is a lot of education that might need happen. >> i think it is important, commissioner, also making sure that those discussions go out into the communities. we have a very diverse communities that need to know more about this. and the impact on would be directly impacted by this program. i think there would be a lot of interest

we look forward to our follow-up meeting cca -- on cca and setting up a joint meeting with the public utilities commission. again, thank you to the members of the public, to puc staff, lafco staff, commissioners. thank you, madam clerk. supervisor chu: good morning. welcome to the city operations and neighborhood services committee. i am vice chair of the committee. i am joined by supervisor olague. our clerk is ms. gail johnson. at sfgtv, we have john and nona. we have announcements? >> yes, all persons attending this meeting are requested to turn off all cell phones and pagers. if you have materials, please submit an extra copy for the file. if you wish to submit speaker cards, please put them in the container in front of you to your left. items recommended out of committee today will be considered by the full board tuesday of next week unless another date is indicated. supervisor chu: thank you very much. can we excuse supervisor elsbernd? yes. we will do that without objection. >> item 1, hearing to consider that the issuance of the type 40 aren't-sell beer license to mark e. renn

when a few days ago the cca were talking with g.m. harrington about this and we knew that there was a half cent for four years proposal, the main question that we asked is will that give us the bond rating that the sfpc needs to do these projects and like installations on school buildings, city buildings, things like that so that we can actually create a program to go to all of these entities we are raising rates on that is a planned program. just like with item 12 where we say you need to have a plan. this is the same situation. perhaps in this resolution or a follow-up, the commission can say to staff, all right. let's do an energy efficiency plan. one that draws on information that will come from the build-out work, but not just that work but let's look at all of these city buildings and state buildings and schools we are raising rates on. muni. find out where the opportunities are to get efficiency and renewables on there so that we can reduce the pain or do a higher increase. i would second in a different way why not charge city

reaffirms its commitment to the local home builders out components-- local buildout program to the cca program. whereas the puc anticipates the immediate commencement of b the localuildout -- of the local buildout. generation revenues identified and the sfpuc approves a budget and timeline for the local bill the -- buildout. >> can that be accommodated with c in the existeqa stand -- within the existing ceqa standards. >> if you are saying that when you enter into this contract that you are unequivocal making discretionary decision now that a local buildout that is not defined as something to you are obligated to do, then you should add language that makes it clear that there will be some subsequent decision by the commission and the board that you are exercising that your sole discretion to decide if, where, and how you will make physical changes of you can have appropriate mitigation measures. it might be part of the study that you have commissioned that is supposed to be under way for the next nine months to frame the physical build up so you can consider the environmental impact. w

- where it speaks for itself could you have done a great job steering as the past year, looking add cca as well as the waste contracts in san francisco. i think your leadership has shown in many ways, and i would like to nominate you. supervisor campos: thank you, supervisor. commissioners? >> i would like to nominate supervisor of the los for the vice-chair -- supervisor avalos four vice-chair. supervisor avalos: thank you. supervisor campos: we have nominations for a chair and vice-chair. let me add to the vice-chair, i have worked with commissioner avalos in his capacity as a member of the board of supervisors, and i cannot think of anyone who better embodies the leadership qualities that you want to see in an elected official. so i would be proud to support that nomination. why don't we turned to ms. miller to advise us as to the best way to proceed. >> nancy miller, you can proceed on the item concurrently. it can be by affirmation. supervisor campos: we have nominations for a chair and vice-chair. before action is taken, let's open it up to public comment. >> good afternoon. i rep

as you know, we are also looking forward to a successful launch an operation of our cca program. planning for the future is largely focused on our efforts to adjust our operations to the changing regulatory environment that we are in and changing contractual agreement -- environment that we are in. as you know, our pg&e contract expires in 2015 and we are spending time and effort planning on how to replace those services and protect our existing customer base and the revenue stream that they represent, making sure that we are paying attention to those risk-management issues inherent in being an electric service provider. for our green and sustainable efforts, it is release starting first with optimizing our use of the hetch hetchy resources. making sure that we are operating it under the water first policy, consistent with extracting as much value on the power side as we can. that is the coordination that we have between miss and offered's folks and our purchasing and scheduling groups that are doing the day-to-day activities there, and the coordination. this is, of course, our f

the projection is the $19.5 million for cca? >> yes. >> that is in there. the restoration of the fund balance is in there. the four cent version is what allowed you to do the add backs. within the four years of rates we are talking about, which does not get us into that dip area, if you take three proposals, the half cent for four years, the one cent for two years and the one cent for four years, that's it. afford ability, clearly half cent is more affordable. that is a good deal what is driving this. all of them are compliant during that four-year period. when you look out beyond that it is questionable if you do not do additional rate increases. within the four years it is compliant. sufficient. that is where you have questions. it is sufficient for some purposes but not others. to the extent the add-backs are important policy things that we want to do, this is not sufficient to that. and i don't know what you have to do to get sufficient for that. the four cent version or half cent, half cent, one cent, one cent, there are other versions of that. that sh

really focusing our resources as we raise the rates on making sure that a good solid build-out under cca and under other programs happens in san francisco, especially city buildings, school buildings, hospitals buildings, making sure that energy efficiency installations go in. so that at the same time we're raising rates, we're also lowering costs so that we can work this out. and if we do not make this an across-the-board rate increase, that will be easier as well. we need to be very strategic about how we do this process. president moran: ok, thank you, and i trust that you'll be here when the rate item is before us. >> will hold my comments on the rate item until we get there but a but i wanted to appreciate the work of the rate fairness board. i did not go to their four meetings this quarter, but i have been two previous meetings in previous cycles. it is one of the more arcane and yet important things that we do. it was an element of the, not the most recent, but the second most recent puc restructuring to add that transparency to the rate review process, in addition to the commissi

with that work, so instead of handing out unemployment checks, he put people to work, the wpa, the cca, and built a lot of things. but that's what you begin to see the democrats developing their reputation as the party of big government. and yet i read an article in 1937 with the economists said basically franklin roosevelt saved capitalism. and this has happened several times throughout our history when you see teddy roosevelt did this, and franklin roosevelt and others, where at moments of tremendous instability, which actually is inherent in capitalism because you do have a wealthy class created inevitably which is not a bad thing. it would be a very good thing, but oftentimes if the disparity gets really great or if we go through the boom and bust periods which happens with capitalism, you know, as you get more risk and you build up assets and you've got the wealthy other sort of speculating whether it's a housing boom here or tech boom there, and you will have the booms and busts. and when the middle class, lower classes, the majority of people in this country, become desperate, w
