you don't have to be -- you don't have to have cca customer to access though funds. but it did you the california administratored at the sfpuc do expect you to operate a community aretion ~ aggregate [speaker not understood]. i'd be happy to provide for you a copy of the memo that goes into more detail about these options because we did explore them, but we don't believe that we can pursue them at this time given the status of our cleanpowersf program. >> and wonder if there is a counter opinion to that, whether we can actually pursue them. we don't have customers, but we do have a framework for, you know, program. mr. freed? >> jason freed, lafco staff. i will not disagree with what ms. hale said. the one difference between the purchase, if i were moving this forward is actually go and talk with the cpuc if this was a good program, could we get money for the program if not addressing customers. one thing cpuc isn't able to do at this point, lafco could draft that letter on behalf of the board. as far as the cpuc is concerned, they have oversight over this program. [

but cca wouldn't contribute to that problem. that correlation which is how does capital cost would initiate. your sufficient program that we had designed. >> yes. so we had a couple of areas that we wanted to update you on. we arrest actively continuing to participate in pg & e's green tariff filing and opportunities for customers to choose hundred percent renewable gas portfolios. we are participating there to make sure the pg & e is compliant with the legislation that was adopted last september by the legislature in sacramento. in particular we are asking the california public utilities commission to enhance a community renewal program. that's part of what's required in sb 43. pg & e has not included that in their proposal. we are asking the c puc provide a mechanism in it's green tariff proposal from a small distributed renewable project. a mega watt or smaller located in disadvantaged communities. that is another aspect of 343 in making sure we are included. if the california puc required pg & e to put that in their proposal

malcolm is being hired, was hired and being paid to work on cca. and that's her job. and we want her to come here and do her job and interact with the bidders for the rfp so that we're getting the best bang for the buck out of this program that we can. again, because it will bring future revenue possibilities to the sfpuc. on the rfp itself, we want to make sure that -- we want to again thank staff for being very good about working with the community and really changing that rfp a lot so we reflected more what the community was looking for and the robustness for the kind of program we're working for. however, i would still say that the advocate community still wants something that pushes the envelope a little more than the rfp suggest, especially on selecting sites. we kind of got word from staff that we would downgrade the necessity of selecting sites beyond those that have already been identified by their sfpuc and sf environment. that wasn't what we were asking for. we were asking for a site selection -- for a site selection city-wide to be completed. that's going

that doesn't mean there are funds that are a part waiting for cca and further direction. hopefully through the joint meeting process we'll get some additional direction. >> i guess my question had to do more for instance with the work on the rfp. >> i understand what miss hale is saying but i think there are funds that are available, remaining available for cca. she indicated which is sort of contrary to the direction that's been given, i think internally to staff to not work on any longer. >>supervisor john avalos: if that's the issue, then it's a version of the question that i posed earlier because if the puc expects it's budget to be approved, i would imagine that it would allow it's staff to do work that the legislative body in this case anticipates or expects that will be done on this program. >> i think that's true. the item that we drop, the mou which talks about working cooperatively with one another on developing the program and particularly dealing with issues that are a contention. which i recall when there was a no vote on the rate, there were a number of issu

while nothing has changed with cca, our puc is facing serious new challenges. as i said in september, our puc's primary charter mandated duties are toe protect the rate payers, ensure clean districtv drinking water for 2.6 million ~ bay area customers, collect and treat waste and stormwater in san francisco, and deliver power for the municipal needs of the city and county of san francisco. and despite the recent rain, california is facing one of the worst droughts in state history, 2013 was one of the driest years on record and governor brown declared a statewide drought in january. snow melt from the sierra nevada is the primary drinking water source for 2.6 million puc customers and we take this seriously. the power enterprise of our puc also faces critical challenges that must be prioritized and solved. our puc has learned that mountain tunnel, which transports water from o'shaughnessy dam to the mock is power house needs critical repairs costing approximately $6 28 million. and a new regulatory requirement, and increases in distribution and transmission cos

and you can talk to the director of cca at lafco, jason fried, about this. once we get clean sf moving forward we will have access to millions more dollars of energy efficiency funds through that program. it's easier to get funds through the ccup once you have a cca going forward. that's one of the big ones and it's a good example. the san francisco public utilities commission, we've said this to them in public comment, they seem to be not recognizing it and they are continuing to not do any work on clean power sf, even though the lafco is proceeding because the lafco gets it. we know that you get it and we also know your staff get it, i'm not up here to demonize staff. staff has been very clear that clean power sf is necessary to the city meeting its action goals, necessary to the clean action strategy and had it not been from signals from the mayor's office to kill this program when it shouldn't be and when you can get more funds from it, staff wouldn't have felt like they had to leave it out of the climate action strategy. with that said, we and others sp

at the time this resolution was developed they hadn't passed cca at the board. it was really to give lafco that flexibility and give it that sensibility that there would be that staff person through that transition period and really let lafco make that decision whether they wanted the staff purn -- person on for one or two or 3 years. that 3 years would be a time to make that transition. >>supervisor katy tang: my follow up when will that discussion be happening in terms of determining the length of time that person will be serving at lafco. >>supervisor david campos: i think that lafco as i understand and supervised or avalos is the chair and breed is the vice-chair. they are waiting for the board to provide the authority to have that conversation. but, they are not going to be able to have that discussion unless they first have the authority from the board to actually expand the scope of work. i think that once this item moves forward, i would imagine lafco would have a discussion. i don't know the exact date, but i assume that's what they are waiting on. >> y

currently there is a little over $375,000 still in the fund and we have an agreement with sfpuc with cca and there is $665,000 left. this also does is it extends the possible term for the 975 position for the 3-year period. to be clear this resolution doesn't guarantee that this position will remain for 3 years. it allows the position to stay open, to extend for another 3 years. as i referenced earlier lafco and it's commissioners are planning to review the work scope and future work plans and as a result of that discussion, that will ultimately determine what the future work scope and length of contract for the 9975 position is. this resolution allows it to go up to 3 years. so i hope that's enough background and information for you to support this item today. i can try answer any questions you might have. the clerk of the board isn't here and available, so we may have to call on lafco staff if you have any operations questions. in the meantime if you have anything, any questions for me. >>supervisor norman yee: thank you, frances. supervisor campos? >> thank you very much for the excel

awaited joint commission meet tog hear about issues that are relative to both lafco and our work around cca and keeping that program going as well as issues within the puc of the power enterprise department. i know there has been a lot of discussion about where power enterprise is and is in need of some greater attention from the public utilities commission. and our, our goal with lafco is to make sure whatever resource he we might be able to help to understand with the power enterprise and also help with the decision making with the power enterprise we are available to provide that input. we will also hear a report today about the latest request for proposal that was issued earlier this month or now its was last month because it's march, and then we'll go on to general public comment. chair. >> i, too, greet everybody today. it's very nice that we have this meeting together. [speaker not understood] difficulty getting all the bodies in one place, so, i'm glad we do have a quorum and that we could move forward on it. as you know or perhaps you've heard, there are some very pressing issues f

when you start talking about a different body of water over here in the mala cca strait, its a differentuse the water over here is a whole different depth. at least this is a manageable amount. right now if you look at 35,000 square miles to be searched here, which is about a quarter of what they had to search for the air france plane, they had debris there in the first couple of days, they knew where to search. and it still took two years to find it. but this is a smaller area, shallower water. maybe that helps out. if that "the wall street journal" report were to be true, ashleigh, then it's completely up for grabs. the chances of finding the plane, i would think, would be incredibly slim. unless you have altitude, direction and time of flight. and i say altitude because bear in mind the reason these planes fly at 35,000 square feet, the reason they get up into the stratusphere is because it's much calmer and smoother flying. when you drop down to where we all live, it gets much rougher and the air is much denser. a plane at 35,000 square -- feet up, will go a lot further with its fuel
