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

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. >

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

now mice hale has filed a complaint based on firing her on gender discrimination.cher union chose not to support her. turns out the homophobes are the ones violating the moral laws. if you still want to discriminate against americans based on something that is not in your holy book, guess what, you can start paying your taxes like everyone else. one final quote from the book of ruth, where you go i will go, your people shall be my people. where you die, i will die there i will be buried. but it's a passage by two women root and maomi, they there is one or two mentions of gay men in the entire bible but at no point does the call the women being with women. i find it interesting that god had the same policy. i would like to thank my guests, you guys were brilliant. thanks for all our guests. we'll be back tomorrow night. this is "viewpoint" on current we're still here. good night, mom. >> joy: tonight the president is in hot water over scandals involving benghazi, the irs, and the associated press. on the bright size he just saved 15% by switching his car insurance t

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

. >> 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

fascinated by whirlpools and spent a lot of time taking videos and picture of them, especially near the hale in cornwall, england. you can see him taking video from the top of the whirlpool. eventually he jumps in to get really close. he reaches out and touches it. in this other video he describes the sensation of what it's like to be so close to this whirlpool. >> is amazing. i was constantly battling with it. it is beautiful. >> is it really is beautiful. we have shown one of his videos on the show before. how is it not sucking him up? >> sadly this week, jacob did pass away. authorities believe he was sucked under the water by a whirlpool. investigators found his camera equipment nearby. he was taking video with a friend nearby. that friend was unable to revive him. >> it's difficult to know that, he's so passionate about this. >> he has respect for the whirlpools. he said this is scary and he has recognized the danger involved. >> it is fascinating. >> the community is devastated over jacob's death because they all know him as a strong swimmer and excellent photographer. >> a confident s

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

. >> 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

we've been talking about thunder, lightning strikes and in some cases hale. the rain it is starting to lighten up. we are also seen some light rain. moderate rain reported in danville especially around the higher elevations. the wider view shows most of the bay area is dropped and partly cloudy to mostly cloudy conditions. we will continue to monitor that for you. here's a look at your morning broke, taking a look at these numbers into the afternoon. tomorrow could be the coolest of the week. they're filled with a high of 71 degrees. 66 in san mateo. kron4's 7 day around the bay highlights drier weather by the end of the day. temperatures back in the '80s as we head into saturday and sunday. >> catherine: which one does not belong? israel. palestine. google. israel is actually telling google to stay out of anything dealing with palestine. google announced last week that it would list google palestine as a page. but israel's foreign minister is demanding that it doesn't plan on happening insisting that it would recognize the existence of a palestinian state. t

. >> 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

and one more, vera hale. >>> hi, everybody. it's really nice to see such a good turnout of community members and community collaboraters. my name is amber carol. i'm here representing the aging and disability resource center as part of a community services of san francisco. i'm here on behalf of both district 1 and 4. we provide information, referral and a sis tabtion to seniors and adults with disabilities throughout san francisco. ~ assistance we have a very small staff of 7 people who go to different senior centers and community organizations and provide these services for the community. we serve nearly 10,000 individuals each year. what i'm asking for is continued support of this program. we provide translation support. we help people with housing applications and give them really any information that they need. we're really doing our best to reach out to communities that are not as reachable. we're bringing in a lot of volunteers right now to reach communities whose languages are not represented very well in organizations

. >> barbara hale, general assistant manager for power. i think in the early days of the program policy statements, that was the objective, meet or beat the rate that was otherwise being offered to san franciscans by pg&e. given the method of recovering costs that the state of california requires for cca programs where if a customer leaves the utility service to go to the cca, they take some of the utility's costs with them. that's an incredibly heavy lift. add to that the fact that -- >> we shouldn't have made the promise, bottom line. [speaker not understood]. the promise was made on the basis of pg&e rates at that time, correct? >> so respectfully, commissioner, i think it wasn't a promise. i think it was a policy statement of the goal of the program. when it was initially conceived and captured in city resolutions in like 2004 -- >> let's not parse words. the impression that the rate payers on the street believe that a commitment was made for this program to initiate, then we would either meet or beat the pg&e rates. all i'm saying is
