thanks. >> six months, sorry. >> i had a couple questions that might be for miss hale. this number is assuming as far as our bucket mix, because we had conversations around diluting the mix, i wasn't comfortable with that unless there was a plan to get back to the purist mix possible but in order to try to create a powerful rate, we talked about that as a possible option. does this include the greenist mix of rec's at this point? >> yes. i'm sorry about the microphone. yes, it assumes that we have the richest if you will, mix of california certified renewable products. it assumes 5 percent renewable credits. if you choose to have more energy renewable credits the cost would go down. >> we don't see that here? >> no. in the newer slide, if you go from the 5 percent to 85 percent credit mix, you free up $72 million ear year. if you didn't lower the rate. >> you still call these liever in it's decision whether it would be accelerated research recovery, late reduction, local build out or bonding capacity as a combination thereof? >> did i miss anything? >> no. you got it. >

miss hale? thank you. >> thank you, commissioner avalos. barbara hale for power. i do want to acknowledge your participation at the public utilities commission meeting. it's great to keep that dialogue open with commissions opens and we do have a calendar in response to your specific request. i think that will help. i think the direction, the guidance and request we were given to our commission in how to get this moving is to provide further information on the local build out framework and plan that we had placed before the commission and we will spend time going over that same presentation with you today. we will also provide some updates on how things are going on the regulatory activities front at the california puc and both presentations i'm very please today tell you will be made by our new director kim malcolm. kim comes from a long career working on energy issues both at the california public utilities commission where among other things and relevant to this program she was the administrative law judge who developed rules for this state and also from the no

rates you have seen before today are what we have received -- reviewed and the key layers by miss hale. the rates we are presenting here today are new and unique and the customer base has a choice of whether or not to participate. starting with my first slide. i want to start with this slide which shows something of a 10 thousand foot view in terms of the charges. i want to point out 2 row, starting with rates, for basic tariffs there is a flat rate. with the exception of sewer rates with basic residential customers the rate is like p g and e. the monthly program is set at 0 by state law. the charge is at s f krchltc discretion and 0 for customers. customers have a choice to participate and customers may leave at any time. other customers are similar to p g and e. so this next slide is building up cost of service. it is based on a cost of service and this charge shows byline item and for each year of the program and then also within each year, the columns show both the total cost for a given line item and also the unit cost per kilowatt hour. it's this unit cost which we are use to go

barbara hale assistant general manager for power. good afternoon, commissioners and members of the public. we have a pretty full agenda for you today. we are going to begin with a presentation from dave mets of sm # from our clean power results and we have some follow up items from our march 12, commission meeting that i will be responding to. we are going to review the proposed not to exceed rates, director of financial planning kristin hollings will make that presentation and we have our chair rate fairness board on the proposed not to exceed rate. so with that i would like if s f g tv could bring our powerpoint presentation and we'll hear from mr. mets. >> thank you very much. i'm david mets. i'm here to provide you with a brief summary of the results that have survey. it's already been presented to members of the public utilities commission and i will move through it fairly quickly and answer questions you may have. you will see here the methodology of the survey, it tracts the survey that we have conducted for p u c and prior ye

hale, did you want to comment on that at all? because i'm -- >> no. i think the secretary and chairman said it rightful we are complying with the law, what we felt was the intent of the law on the appropriations bill. and it is causing some difficult decisions. >> all right. thank you. thank you, all. >> thank you. mr. bishop. >> thank you, mr. chairman. after congressman forbes' question as one of the extremists in this body, mr. secretary, i'd like to welcome you here, and it's good to have you finally on the correct side of capitol hill. i have got about five questions, i'm going to get them all through come hell or high water. so the first one deals with the request that was in your budget. it appears that in the air force budget that roughly $1.4 million is put in there to conduct an environmental impact study regarding the icpm missile -- icbm missile wing. i understand this was inserted into the budget proposal by your office and not that by air force leadership. so i guess three questions. is that a correct statement? number two, what is the o

hale now but if you will for the record secretary hale i know you have read the report i referred to and i ask that you would share that with secretary hagel which i'm sure he will want to look at and i would ask you to consider that because i think those reasons for my opposition to -- 8 years ago now are probably more true today. the chairman talked about the missile defense thing. i was very pleased when you made the decision to increase the number of ground-based interceptor sites on the west coast. i think that was good. what i don't agree with as has been pointed out that is probably a good thing to do in light of all the things happening in north korea. i was over there recently and in fact i talk to you over there and i realized that this is something that we need to protect against. i may not be in the majority appear but i said anything coming from north korea has the same capability. [inaudible] where i probably disagreed general dempsey with you is on our capacity and from the other side the east. that is the reason we were building the ground interceptor in poland and ou

secretary dempsey, secretary hale. the secretary mentioned the comments facing a lot of short constraints with sequestration, other issues but longer term there are issues the financial issues dealt with regardless of the -- the health care force. i know, you made some proposal in the budget in that regardus e question to the general demp say. it would seem to me that in order to effectively carry out any reform, there has to be an ongoing dialogue with uniform active duty personnel and reserve personnel. uniform military you share the service of the sacrifice of the individuals more son than anyone else. is that dialogue going on? are there constructive ways organizationally to begin to save course? is there any sort of path forward that could be agreed on and given us an opportunity to deal with the sort of a solution that has . >> there has to be senator. we have to find a way forward. we have reached out. we had on the more broadly on the issue of let's call it compensation reform. i would suggest we made much prog

hale. he may want to respond is well.let me address your larger question in the context of the question. if in fact we're facing the reality we are facing, then we're going to have a plan, it just, review and take a pretty hard look at everything. the chairman's comments in his testimony, matching the least versus the commission is a particularly important comment because we can't put our military analyst to support our military in a position where they are underresourced and there's an expectation by the people of this country that they are secure and we are guaranteeing security. as the chairman and mr. smith noted in your comment, it is biased to some ability of a government, a security of the nation. it is going to require some tough choices across the board and i generally had some of this choice is in my testimony. brac area we have to look at because there's not one answer to this. if every component of our budget, including tri-care, compensation, benefits. i don't have to engage this body, and this congress on th

barbara hale, general manager for association for power. on your question to me about combined heat and power and whether it can be renewable. it can we renewable, power with natural gas is not considered renewable. there are opportunities to power it with a biomethane product or other fossil fuel that are considered renewable fuels and those opportunities would make it qualify as a renewably heated source. combined under the meter doesn't count under california's p s rules under the renewable requirements because it's behind the meter and not on the utility side. that doesn't mean the city wouldn't want to renew on the aspect but it's as well. >> it wouldn't qualify? >> if it were combined methane few it wouldn't qualify behind the meter towards our requirements. >> thank you. comments or questions? i want to announce we are joined by smeltser. >> i want to mention how we are going to be promoting this on a mass level and i know there is some anxiety that shell shock campaign was getting the word out more and i'm reviewing the tweets from

. >> but you have issues in the military now, benefits issues in the military, and what you heard hale say yesterday, robert hale, the comptroller -- >> on thursday. >> on thursday, pardon me, was you have problems with readiness, so you're going to have to consider things that seem to be theurld realm. also talking about base closures. these are issues for congressmen in districts all over the united states. but where do you go? i want to get your take on whether you're willing to accept the closures, whether you're willing to accept retiree benefits, the enrollment fees and so forth being increased. where do you stand on these things? >> i think we're going to have to look at everything. i'm not in favor of base closures. what they will tell us is that in the long run, they save money. we haven't realized a savings yet, to my knowledge, from the last base closure in 2005. we have a short problem right now and bracs bought money in the short run. when you're talking readiness, you're talking short term dollars, when you're talking about. rac, you're talking long term savings. and i th

. >> so, werbach, barbara hale he assistant manager. we're back to talk about the items you identified for us at the joint puc/lafco meeting, meeting before last for you. ~ and that was two primary tasks. first, to develop a robust outline of the build out of our clean power s.f. program, including the mix of resources, the investment and funding levels, the sources of those funds, the greenhouse gas impacts, and the local jobs impacts. our new director that was introduced to you at our last meeting will make that presentation, kim malcolm. but before she launches into that, i want to advise you of two other issues. the second piece of -- to do from our prior meetings was a comparison of our proposed program with other programs operationally proposed in california and across the nation. we're still doing some more homework on the -- on that comparison and we'll provide it to you in written form so that we can discuss it at the next meeting at your [speaker not understood]. we're working with lafco staff to put that together. and we've h

barbara hale, assistant general manager for power. we can use hetch hetchy power. we need to provide it to the program in a manner consistent with the raker act and in a manner that provides us with revenue neutrality from the municipal side of our operations . ~ launch so, we can provide hetch hetchy power to the program, but we can't discount it in order to make the program look better to our cca customers. because that means our municipal customers are sort of foregoing some revenues they otherwise would have achieved. >> so, if we were to use hetch hetchy power, we would have to pay full market value for it? >> well, yes. what we would have received had we sold it on the market. >> which really is a subsidy by the taxpayers? >> that we're trying to avoid that subsidy of selling it below what we otherwise would have achieved. >> right. okay. >> and i just also wanted to emphasize since i have the microphone now, commissioner vitor, as you're looking at this buildout timeline, i want to make sure you're reading it the way we intend. you can see the rows describe

but also ripple another mass backed currency and we talked about that here two years ago with david hales but the guy behind that is the guy behind the p.d.p. lending facility i think prosper so there are guys who have built big companies making markets and prices and price discovery who know what they're doing rather than this like gaming center here i think for people to understand where we are on the chronological progression the timeline of bitcoins acceptance and use as mainstream currency and challenge to currencies you have to understand that right now the technology of bitcoin is what i would say pre netscape if you remember netscape went public in the early one nine hundred ninety s. and before then there was no browser really that people were using on the internet there was no way to just jump onto a browser and start surfing the web it was done in a way that was extremely user unfriendly then you had net. skate the netscape went public and then you had google and you had the bay and you had this whole phenomenon known as the internet but it's based on that browser technology ri

hale knows a little about that. general dempsey. but i know you're new on the job. but when we talk about dispersing our nuclear aircraft carriers, that all happened in 2005 when we have an all-nuclear fleet now. and so that meant on the east coast we only had one home port for nuclear aircraft carriers. add two or three depending on how you count on the west coast. and the navy figured out that this is going to be a problem and they did a study for 2 1/2 years and they determined that dispersing our asset was was a strategic imperative and that we ought to have another home port on the east coast, not only to disperse or assets but also to have a backup nuclear maintenance facility and then that was reviewed again in 2010 . and so the department planned on a five-year upgrade to have a second home port on the east coast. and funds were requested in 2010, 2011, 2012 and they were approved. the subcommittee i think believes that's an important strategic imperative. but in 2013 there wasn't any money. zero money to continue those upgrades, even though nothing had real

according to barbara hale presented that launch is 5 percent of the potential customer base in terms of gig watt hours used up. that means this is a launch that still has 80 percent of the whole usage of the city that has to be dealt w with. we are not going to have a program if it's only going to work with that power, we are not going to have a program if those people aren't there to purchase that power. if those 80 percent don't have competitive prices there is not going to be any build out to serve that base. even though we spend a lot of time talking about the initial 5 percent, the real concern is 80 percent is because that's where the real job, the real benefit is from the potential customers. that's why the focus around having a very clear plan. in the letter that i sent to you all, we advocates have put together a set of criteria that we feel that build out plan must meet if it's going to be a good basis for decision making and i want to focus on that because those are the kind of criteria, that build out plan has to be able to talk about the amount of investment that takes p

. >> thank you, miss hale, i appreciate that. i think my fear that i made through the chair that if we wait until we do have that clear message, by that point we will have lost a lot of ground in terms of the potential interest in this program and so i am really worried about that. i think that -- i'm hoping there is an intermediate step short of having the final decisions on rates that allows us to put the word out there about this program release some of the basic characteristics of it. i don't know if you thought about that because i'm afraid if we wait until may 14th, or whenever, that it maybe too late. >> i hear and share your concern. i think it's quite fair to say that the audience is getting a message that leads out our perspective. so we will go back to our communication staff at the puc and see what we can do about making sure that we have a stronger presence that doesn't cost us too much of our limited communications budget for this program to make sure that we do have a voice within the relatively low cost social med

. >> barbara hale, assistant general manager. the report that the city's chief economist prepared, did not look at the prospects for local investment. so it looked at the shell contract and at the increase in pricing assumed that if you were paying more on your electric bill, you as a san francisco resident wouldn't have that money to spend in other ways here in san francisco and it would therefore decrease jobs in other sectors. but the report explicitly acknowledged that it did not look at the local investment, local build portion of the clean power sf program. so that's how it's distinguished. >> also in terms of the renewable as well >> correct, the contract is on renewable and the local investment component is not located in that chief economist report. >> california certified renewable, yes. >> thank you, we are getting into the territory about why -- we discussed this in the last meeting that there is misinformation put out about the loss of jobs and energy created. that's confused a lot of people in san francisco. althoug

. >> my name is vera hale. i'm a member of the advisory council to the department of aging.and every year, i come up here about cuts, and it's such a joy to be here and to be able to talk about what the needs of the people are, and what some of the things we think are coming in the future. i want to mention three things. one is the difference between -- one difference between calworks and medi-cal. cal fresh -- not calworks, cal fresh, has no asset limit. and this means that people will be able to apply, regardless of whether they have excess money in the bank or not. medi-cal will still, unless the state changes it, have an asset limit of $2,000 for one person, and $3,000 for a couple. and that's going to make it harder to ever get everything going easily back and forth. but one of the things that we found, anne hinton held a hearing in hunters point and one of the things we found was that people were so concerned about having to pay a share of costs for their medi-cal, and for the in-home supportive services, ihss. a lot of people have shared costs of $500. and they ask th
