mr. hunter stern. >> ibew1045, thank you, mr. president, commissioners, hunter's chair, ibew1245, we represent workers at 28 different utilities here in central california, we also through stop the shell shock have over 12 thousand people who have signed on the petition saying no to shell energy. three things very quickly, we certainly talked a lot about these issues, the first is our members work generate electricity, we want to continue to have them work generating electricity here in central northern california, secondly and probably most importantly, we've looked very hard at the issues around build-out opportunities, we've worked very hard statewide in partnership with our brothers and sisters in the building trades through two different coalitions, we will continue to do that. this is the goal. more renewable energy for the city and county of san francisco, more renewable energy for the state of california, but we need to be sure that that work is here and it's in front of us, and we will continue to work with our colleague

i also want to say what mr. stern has said that i believe there is more common ground than indifference here. i would urge staff in terms of moving forward in terms of looking at this size for the program, we talk about 20 omega watts. i wonder how much is heche power. how far can we push that and i think that's something that i hope we can have a follow up with labor and another folks add the advocates to make sure that's something that can be done. from lafco's perspective, i appreciate the puc has a different process perhaps, i do think it's important for us to move forward because i don't think that setting a not to exceed rate precludes the discussion from happening. it's in the spirit that i would make the motion for lafco that we approve the not to exceed rate of 11.5. >> that is a separate vote from the puc commission. we want to make the statement for lafco body to reduce the rates. from a lafco member, can we get a second. >> we have a lafco resolution recommending the puc adopt the not to exceed rates. >> t

. >> mr. stern, miss malcolm indicated that you haven't gotten back to her regularly as expected. >> i had a conversation with ken paulson, he didn't indicate that he had a chance to speak with miss malcolm. she and i did have a chance to speak directly earlier last month but i haven't had a call since then. the simplest way to put this, the one thing i heard -- >> i think you answered the question. as we move forward what i'm proposed is not a delay. 2-3 weeks is not going to destroy the planet. if there is no common ground, i get that and then i'm ready to vote. >> i this i the answer is there is opportunities for everybody to look at this as a job and environmental benefit. i don't think that recs even in the short-term accomplish that. thank you. >> just a question, commissioner term with your dialoguewith labor here, >> former commissioner, sir >> but not a witness. >> if we were actually to continue a program that didn't include recs, is that mean there would be more labor support? >> look, th

and i have met with mr. stern and i know that he's here and i encourage the staff to continue the discussions that they have had with ibw and not just them, i did speak with paulson the director of labor council and we had a number of conversations about this and what we both agreed that irrespective of what happens today regarding rates that it's important for those discussions to continue. it's important for us to take those concerns into consideration and i know that they want to work with the puc, with lafco. again, i do believe that i'm a half glass full kind of person. i think that we have to continue those discussions and i think there is an opportunity for us especially given where the market is to figure out how we expand this program to make it look like something that everyone can buy into. >> thank you, commissioner campos. >> i would like to hear public comment as well and i would like to go on record with my sense of urgency in more of sort of a global perspective of this community choice program bec

. >> thank you, mr. stern. rob black, ggra. >> good afternoon, commissioner, it's a pleasure to be here n a previous life, i am the executive director to have golden gate restaurant association, in a previous life, i was the staffer for supervisor alley yoda peer, when it was first proposed and came through the board of supervisors and i want to reference back to the earlier promises that were made when we voted through the board of supervisors on this. there were a couple of key aspects that were important. a cc frap is set at as a bidding requirement, they must include within its proposed rate including all costs including renewable resources compromised of at least 31 megawatts of..[reading].. and 170 megawatts of local energy efficiency conservation measures as well as investment of 150 megawatts of a wind turbine farm, the supplier must bid generation rate that is will current pg&e generation rates for each rate class, that's not what we have before us today. what was proposed, what was initially voted on,

mr. hunter stern has submitted public comment and some ibew local 1245 asking that the commission do their duty and in the weeks ahead demand the [speaker not understood] environmental review that will calculate just how much a shell contract will increase [speaker not understood] and other pollutants. ~ monica. >> okay, thank you, monica. now we had this quick clarifying, which was about the sfpuc position with respect to said environmental review, or c-e-q-a analysis, i guess was [speaker not understood], commissioner wald. >> i won't comment on the merits, but i will say that the city attorneys are aware ibew's claim that c-e-q-a applies before the commission can make a decision. and i am following their advice on that in whatever i do. i would also add that marin energy authority, the cca in marin county was subject to the same claims before they launched their program several years ago, and they did not conduct c-e-q-a review in order to provide service to their customers. and they were not to. finally, i should mention in response to hunter stern's comments that the shell contract re

stern. marty. >> thank you, mr. mayor. i'll be very brief. governor brown shares the concern of mayor lee and the other public officials that we do not need yet another bart strike, that this is a great hardship for the people of the bay area and the economy of the bay area, for everybody who works here, lives here, goes to school here, travels here, and that the negotiators on both sides should be making every possible effort that -- we don't expect them to leave the bargaining table without an agreement. i asked and they agreed to a 30-day extension of the contract. they've had another 28 days so far. we expect that the next couple of days that they will succeed. failure to reach an agreement will be a serious failure, one that leadership should not -- should not abide. the governor has set this as a top priority. we've had two of our best mediators in there for the entire time. we've had the head of the public employment relations board, our highest public official in this area, working daily on this situation. we've done everything possib

stern ag. great to he sue. normally we have you here in studio. you're in chicago today. mr.s saying that a lot of the data we're getting, it just doesn't provide a lot of clarity. today we had retail sales which were, eh, at least on the up side, but what is the economic data telling us? >> that's right. starting with retail sales the headline report came in a little less than expected but the prior month was revised up so what this says on net the consumer is little changed from where they were at the end of the second quarter but this is not to say they're on much firmer footing because remember the consumer was able to spend through the first quarter, despite those onerous tax increases but we lost a considerable amount of momentum going into the second quarter with real consumption up just a few tenths. what lockhart and most fed officials are saying we've seen improvement in the economy but not the type of momentous improvement we need to see in order to start talking about the tapering timeline. ashley: it is all about confidence, isn't it, not only for consumers but s
