eric brooks, san francisco green party, our city sf, and san francisco clean energy advocates, and californians for energy choice. first of all, it's nice to see the new commissioner sitting in that seat, commissioner singh, that's great. so the only thing i would add to everything that's been said is just the state, what's going on at the state level. i had thought that you were going to agendaize aba 13, the grid privatization bill. that's going to move at the beginning of this month, so i don't believe this body will be able to take action on it in time, but the board of supervisors could do an adoption without committee reference, and i would highly recommend you do that. if that bill passes, and it's been rewritten to make it easier to pass, instead of california running its electricity grid, donald trump and warren buffet will run our electricity grids for profit and for coal interests, and so if that happens, all bets are off for californians -- californians' ability to compete with pg&e because it'll have access to a subsidized energy choice that will allow them to compete with us more

climate action strategy that the city presented to the public and has really geared our programs around that strategy echos all of our thoughts, which were that claenl power sf was the number one way that we could achieve the city's climate goals. so i want to make sure that we're always echoing that and supporting that, and hopefully, they move forward quickly, and i can't wait until april 2019. >> me either. >> supervisor fewer: okay. thank you very much. do you -- >> so i know i have another component. i did have a few slides. do we have time for that? >> supervisor fewer: sure. >> so if no other questions, it's my pleasure to introduce tyler gamble. he's been at the puc for six months? eight months. i knew it's been around there. mr. gamble's been with the puc for eight months, came to us from the great city of new orleans. he's going to present some slides on our communications plan. >> hey, good morning, commissioners. how are you? i will run through our communications strategy that we have so you guys kind of know the tactics that we're taking over the next few weeks and months to enroll these customers and as we look forward to 2019, as well. so as m

. >> good afternoon again, commissioners, eric brooks, san francisco green party, our city sf, and californians for energy choice. so there's a lot to go through in two minutes on this, but on broad band, when mayor farrell was commissioner or was supervisor farrell, there was a major public process and public outreach, and we were interacting collaboratively with that office, many of us, to help move public broad band forward. that public process has come to a screeching halt, so i would encourage you to put the broad band on your agenda, because we've been promised we were going to be involved in the rfp process to start-up what company or companies is going to be contracted for this, and all of a sudden we're getting nowhere when we're requesting to meet and to have the public engaged. so that's pretty important. on the cleanpowersf, i mean, the mayor's office on this one, 2050 is far to along. we need to have a transition in san francisco to have a real transition. transportation is clearly outside of the purview of the puc, so we do need lafco to work on a comprehensive transportation and

cities and counties that are also doing this work. our initiative is modelled off seattle, portland, madison and the sf public utilities commission. it includes participating in the city-wide racial equity team, convening a steering committee within the department, the committee has a point person from each program area within the department. bringing a racial equity resolution to the commission. developing a departmental racial equity action plan. and providing fast training and building internal capacity. we've begun to look at our work through a racial equity lens and i'm going to provide you with examples. the first is through the energy watch program, which has been providing audits and energy efficiency incentives for small businesses in the city. these small business owners are predominantly people of color and a large percentage of them are immigrants. in visiting the corner stores, our energy watch staff discovered that many of these businesses have refrigeration systems that hadn't been maintained for some time and needed repairs. so staff sought funding to pay for the costs and they engaged 33 businesses that resulted in

on behalf of walk sf saand our members i'm here to show strong support for yee's proposal. as we've always experienced across the city, we've been bomb boarded with tech after tech, sidewalk robots, autonomous vehicles, dockless scooters all using the public space with much of this happening on the sidewalks. walking is the oldest and most available form of transportation. pedestrians should not have to pay a price for these new disruptive innovative technologies. the people walking should be the priority. we need the city to take the lead on ensuring pedestrian safety and mobility especially for seniors, children and people with accessibility needs. just to be clear, we are not opposed to new technology. we just want pedestrian safety to be the top priority when these technologies are employed. we would like to thank supervisor yee, the transportation authority, the city administrator for taking the lead with this resolution to get ahead of the unintended consequences that some emerging technologies could cause. we urge you to act quickly and with clear deliverables. now is the time to be proactive and anticipate fu
