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 as

eric brooks, and we have been working in san francisco over the last few years, and furs, i want to make a 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

. >> well, good afternoon, commissionsers, eric brooks with san francisco green party, our city and representing the coalition that helped get us all the way to this point. this is indeed all the way to this point. this is indeed a profound moment in time that this is actually moving forward. i find it particularly excellent that there is basically a new company forming around our c.c.a. and going to locate itself in san francisco. that will be good, no doubt, for local hiring. but with that said, since this will be the beginning of a new millennium on energy here in san francisco, we need to make sure we get it right. it's hard to energy, we want to get it right. it is hard to tell what exactly the plan is but it looks like the plan is to do procurement in the beginning of the program. during the upcoming negotiations, i am certain once i go back and speak to the other applicants that for us to support this, we would insist that the actual construction and installation is substantially met in the contract. we have seeone to make sure that what was going to be billed is built. then we will have
