mr. fried talked about, there's a stepwise to this. you don't come out the door with cca at the moment of launch with a big pile of money to spend or even with permission from the california public utilities commission to use rate payer funds for energy efficiency so we'll be working in very close harmony as mr. fried asked of us with the san francisco puc to make sure that when we launch, we're starting down that road to that new future even if we don't realize it in that moment in time so at at the point of launch we'll still work on bayren and have energy launch and work with customers and at the same time work with our own puc to figure out how that future unfolds so to to me it's an exciting moment in time for for a partnership with our two departments to get the best out of each department. >> all right. yes. executive officer fried? >> thank you. jason fried i want to thank you for those comments and i want to add one thing and this is my personal belief not everyone shares with me but i

>> as mr. fried referred to there's a requirement to offer service to residential customers under the cca statute but that aside you would want to anyway there's an economic quirk of cca -- if you follow something like pg&e's rate structure and that is that residential rates are generally fixed year round and commercial rates are seasonal summer and winter and a big difference between summer and winter rates on commercial accounts enough as to you would lose a little bit in the winter and gain quite a bit in the summer so thinking about phasing we began our first phase with mostly commercial customers at the beginning of the summer added residential at the at the beginning of winter and adding our last phase next summer so it helps us buy contracts and allows us to collateralize . >> every time you invite geof you learn something new which is great. we've been planning to include commercial customers in our community choice program. we recognize that in our first effort where we were offering a premi

mr. fried, do you want to take us to our next agenda item? >> the next part would be the assistant general manager, barbara hale, presenting the cca update itself. >> thank you, mr. fried. so i have three things to talk about today on cca first off is to announce that we have an acting director, i'm very happy about that personally, and that's mike heim, the gentleman to my left. mike had been an analyst with us years ago when we first began working on the cca project. he went off to new york, it was, and got his master's degree there in energy management and policy, worked as a researcher, university of columbia, and worked for the port authority as a senior energy analyst. then we wooed him back. actually, we didn't, he just loved california -- and he's been working with us as our regulatory and legislative affairs manager for some time now. so he has really deep understanding of the whole cpuc process and the rules of engagement on cca and will be leading our team toward the finish line at least on an interim basis. and that brings me to m

but i was also thinking you brought this up, mr. fried, was about what does lafco look like moving forward. and i think it would be great for us, i don't think it has to

highland, we look forward to working with you and already you have developed a relationship with mr. fried and it's essential we all work well together. we have a huge interest to make sure we are on our timeline this year and we are very eager to get going here, so welcome and if you want to share anything? >> thank you very much, commissioner, i appreciate it. i just wanted to say it is an honor and a privilege to be able to help the sfpuc and the city get this program going. i'm really looking forward to it, i'm looking forward to working with you and the department of the environment and jason and the stake holders. thank you. >> great, thank you. miss hale >> there's been some activity at the california puc that we wanted to report on. you will recall i have reported a number of times now on their activities with respect to pg&e's green tariff application. they issued their decision, the cpuc, california puc, issued their decision in late january and that decision was forth the schedule for pg&e to file their advice letters, which are the implementation filings that the utilities make

but i was also thinking you brought this up, mr. fried, was about what does lafco look like moving forward. and i think it would be great for us, i don't think it has to be next meeting or the meet after, but to think about is there a planning meeting that we can have with the commissioners to understand what do we see lafco doing as less and less work is coming in from cca, which is going to be some time but to anticipate that and try to understand how do we make sure that we have the funding and also that the work we're doing is unique to lafco and is something that can be utilized foertd people that seek the resources and the help from lafco, including the board of supervisors and public that comes to us for research and questions. >> okay. so some of the other things, we've also established a proper reserve policy. you may remember passing that a few months ago. one of the things i wanted to do is get our budget more in line with how the city and county does its budgeting currently so our process looks similar to theirs. i have worked

mrs. hale i have a number of speakers on this item. >> jason. >> jason fried i think they did a good job the one thing for the quick update i understand the board of supervisors is looking at the legislative piece matter at the committee meeting as the next time we meet i'll imagine that process will be moving forward so i want to make sure wear getting in rfp o process that's a critical time back on track and moving forward again, it is important especially with the board hopefully, the rfp those will be drafted and out the door the schedule i put together at the end end of may or june for the rfp o and hopefully, we'll moderating and get this section done that much quickly. >> thank you >> next speaker. >> eric brooks. >> commissioners, if you'll indulge me i have a colleague it needs to leave around 2 o'clock so take her in my place. >> i'll be quick you don't know i don't need to tell you that kriengs is a big thing i want to encourage you when things get tough to remember this is san francisco's opportunity to lead the nation in this crucial activity and show we're the city that knows h

mr. chairman. >> thank you. >> thank you. i will now recognize the gentle laid fri gentlelady from california, miss chu. >> thank you. director saldana, the recent expansion of family detention to 2400 beds is truly alarming. a vast majority of these women and children escaping the northern triangle region are fleeing domestic and gang violence and abuse. in 2011 el salvador had the highest rate of gender motivated killing of women in the world followed by ga watt mali and honduras. these women are escaping some of the most dangerous countries in the world to seek protection in the u.s. and instead they and their children face prolonged detention while they fight their asylum claims. in my view there's no way to detain families humanely. when i first learned that the average age of a child in family detention is 6 years old and that there are even babies and toddlers being detained i was truly shocked. as a psychologist, i know the mental health concerns that children and families in detention face. detention in jail-like facilities retraumatizes victims of violence
