general manager harrington: good afternoon, commissioners. ed harrington. since we are towards this, we thought we should come back so that we would not be bringing a contract to you. what we wanted to do for your sake but also for the public to have not had a chance to look at this is to do a brief recap of how we got here, and then we would have mike campbell do a discussion about where we are with these negotiations, what the goals are, where we now are, and then have another come and talk about the parts of it. the first part is, again, what we want to do is review the history. we want to talk about the program goals and put that up on the screen, as that would be great, and then the outstanding issues, and then the next step, the timeline to launch this, and in the financial overview. briefly, cta allows the services. they do not take over the p.g. in the delivery of the energy, metering, and billing. -- do not take over the pg&e delivery. it provides a different electricity source. they still do the distribution. you would still call them if you need

harrington? >> right here. >> how are you? >> i've had better days. >> do you like it in here?not at all. >> you don't? >> not at all. >> good. that means you won't come back. >> let me ask you a couple questions, then. is there any concern for other, you know, programming classes? >> we have religious programs. >> well, i can't attend any religious services. i work seven days a week at the food factory. >> you work seven days a week? >> we all do. >> you're making a lot of money. >> we don't make a penny. >> you're eating an extra sandwich. i know you're sneaking a sandwich, you guys do. you only have one sandwich? is it air-conditioned? >> where? >> in the kitchen. >> you want to talk about the equipment breakdowns we have? >> you had a breakdown? >> we have a breakdown every single day. >> that's the county for you. they can't build anything that works. >> i wouldn't hold you accountable for one single thing here. this is your talk show. >> you've got to hold me accountable for running this jail. >> right. >> and for the tent city, i know it's tough sometimes, 140 degrees in

general manager harrington: -- secretary housh: public comment for members of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commission's jurisdiction and that are not on today's agenda. we have no cards. president vietor: anyone? next item. secretary housh: identifies, -- i no. 5. -- item 5. general manager harrington: -- president vietor: can hold this until commissioner -- can we hold this until commissioner caen arrives? which item? yes. vice president moran? vice president moran: usually, it is a very detailed conversation about how we seek to balance these overtime. we really need to look get that and see what the implication is for rates for both water and on the power side, so i just suggest that we put this so that we can deal with the big issues before we get into the more detailed review of the budget. and then, there are a couple of policies that were listed as enterprise policies, and my intent is that we establish policies of those areas. i have seen a draft. it makes sense to start and then extend it in others. but i wanted to be clear that my int

i would assume, director harrington, would love to get this off his plate by now. i just would assume that after everything he's done to evolve with this process. and we appreciate his stick to itness in years, mr. campbell, and p.u.c., but lafco, we're dogged about this. so to not expect this conversation to take this total quality would be fool hearty foolhardy because this is the year this must be done. this is a time where i think people will appreciate the contrast between what woe have to offer and what pg&e cannot. and i think this is absolutely the right time, where sentiment i think in the public, general public, would be i think receptive to something we had to offer. there's nothing stopping this from this program succeeding but that must require these two organs of sfee hall to come together. and there's something that seems to be amiss every time we get to this one place. it worries me. so the commission, if it's a new p.u.c. commissioners, i'm feeling like this is the dog ate my homework excuse. get them in the room with us so we can make sure that we

the general manager harrington described it right on point as, i think, from a p.u.c. standpoint the intent and desire is there to really partner with the community and partner with the southeast community, southeast community facility commission, on ensuring that the building lives up to the potential that was described in the mitigation and other documents, landing documents. -- planning documents. as we have gotten feedback we have thought through different criteria as it relates to this facility and things that would help us become more consistent with what was promised in the mitigation agreement. so, one criteria is having the center go back to be focused on programs that foster jobs, education, healthy, safety, welfare and honing in on those pieces. the other pieces are what you observe in the piece. everybody is saying they want the space to be vibrant and be a community space and be dynamic. it needs to have high foot traffic so you can come here and be here for hours and won't run into anything so we have to think through the programming that we will propose
