eric brooks,es opinion knoll la jackson, eric smith, espinola jackson and espinola jackson. you have three cards. >> we need her to speak more than one. eric brooks, san francisco green party and community choice energy alliance in our city. i just spoke to local power an hour ago and maybe paul was being polite to work constructively with the other parties. but i definitely ascertained from him that he's not satisfied with where this r.f.p. is at. and as all of you know, the lafco commissioners should know from the email that i sent yesterday, that the advocates are not satisfied at all. we do not want an r.f.o. process to be separated out of this r.f.p. and we want this whole thing to move forward as one package, not in separate piece that's can be undermined. the key issue -- the key thing that needs to happen that has not happened yet -- and the reason the last r.f.p. was not successful, is that before that r.f.p. went out, both local power and and a half gant specifically said in their assess -- navigant specifically said in their assessments that we need to do a long a

eric brooks, and we have been working in san francisco over the last few years, and furs, i want to makea quick point to clarify that. when i say i am representing these groups, like the ones that were in the letter, it means i have gone through a careful process of contacting them all. there was one of those groups that seemed to be indicating -- a leader of the coalition, and specifically, after the meeting was open, they were not supportive of the coalition, and i verified with them that they are still supportive of the coalition, so that leads me into where we aren't at with regard to the process. is very important that you know that coalition is not in agreement with how this is rolling out, at all. from the beginning of this process, we have been organizing to make sure about the plan, which of believe you have all right now, that this has all been one project, that pieces of it are not separated out. elastic holders meeting, we a little aggressively made clear to staff that we did not agree with this process going forward this way, and we should take a few more months to nail it d

eric smith, executive director of green depot. i was intending to speak on agenda item number five. it's always frightening when i agree with mr. brooks, but i'll just echo the sentiments of ms. jackson. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker, please. >> aaron israel is here, a longtime member of the citizens advisory committee for power on issues of sfpuc. wanted to point out that the club thanks the good work that -- the staff of both the p.u.c. and lafco have been doing this year. focusing on the negotiations. finding the lessons learned from that process and being open. we don't have an opinion one way or the other about r.f.p. or splitting out the renewables work. we should point out that we are an advocate. we've long been involved in this process. mr. brooks does not speak for all the advocates. we're not all of one mind on this. we take great issue of him speaking for an alliance that we helped put together a number of years ago, which does not have an opinion in this matter today. so it's not possible for him to speak for an alliance or for members of that alliance, including sierra club. we hope that you ge
