we wanted to do a joint meeting with the puc. they have some issues meeting on friday, so we may need to address with special meetings at that point. supervisor campos: thank you. i will open it up to public comment. any member who would like to speak on item four? lafco calendar for 2012. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, we have the proposed calendar for us. this is an action item. motion to approve by supervisor avalos. second by commissioner pimentel. we can take that without objection. i want to note that we have a special guest this afternoon here at lafco. we have little lawrence, who is an honorary member of the local agency formation commission. so we want to thank the honorary commissioner for being here. item number 5. >> 5, community choice aggregation activities report. status update on cleanpowersf program. and then the status update on proceedings at the california public utilities commission. supervisor campos: mr. michael campbell, good afternoon. >> thank you. i am the director of cleanpowersf,

to then turning around and working for the utilities that were regulated by the puc. i do not know if there has to be a future agenda item for us to take a position on it that, but i personally believe that, given the work that we have had the puc, weighing in on the importance of stopping this revolving door would be important for lafco to do. my preference would be to advocate for that five years that the examiner is asking for. i do not know what the process for that would be, but i think that it is important for us as lafco, one of the objectives of lafco is to promote good government, best practices, and i think that stopping that revolving door is basic good government. ms. miller, do you have any thoughts on that? >> jason fried, lafco staff bit of that is a very good idea. the end of february is one of the legislative bills have to be introduced at the assembly or in the senate. one thing i was planning on was actually coming to you with all the bills that might have an impact on sunday that lafco is looking at the that would definitely be one of them. we can

we would love to see the puc somehow make the process open to the public.ere are interests, community interests in urban agriculture projects. it would be great to have a request for proposals so that people could give their input, as there seemed to be more and more requests as the project go and go. thank you very much. >> why are you closing down? >> the agreement -- the mayor's executive directive at budget city agencies to make land available. we were a project with economic workforce development. this was always land slated for development. it was given to us on an interim basis. turned into something productive in a big community space, we were always aware that it would thank you. >> thank you for your comments. as a reminder, part of the reason that the puc came into this space was in response to the mayoral directive for public agencies to identify land that might be available for these purposes. i want to thank the staff and community for helping us move forward with this. i have a big interest in it as well. i want to help it proceed in any way

as you think about the power enterprise, when you are in the airport, it is powered by the puc. there's a lot of talk around how do we ensure the public, the investments we're making to the city agencies, whether it's around the school district or department of environment it's tied to getting our message out to the type of work we're doing in the community. there will be greater attention in that area. the last part is run workforce development. jobs are a huge party out of the mayor's office and a huge priority for us. it is increased emphasis on how we leverage and amplified jobs opportunities as relates to the puc. this slide talks about the accomplishments for the last year in legislative affairs. most of you have been briefed on these. some of them are concrete legislation we helped co- sponsor. summit is more local, whether it's from getting the power rates adopted. there has been quite a bit of work in the legislative affairs team to encourage cross- enterprise conversation about legislative strategy. there was missed opportunities to have a joint conversation about our

at the puc. the current prohibition is one year. senator yee wisely has proposed that we increase that by two years. the interesting thing here is that the examiner editorial has actually advocated for a longer time span. it is actually calling for a five-year time span that people have to wait before they go from being a commissioner on the puc to then turning around and working for the utilities that were regulated by the puc. i do not know if there has to be a future agenda item for us to take a position on it that, but i personally believe that, given the work that we have had the puc, weighing in on the importance of stopping this revolving door would be important for lafco to do. my preference would be to advocate for that five years that the examiner is asking for. i do not know what the process for that would be, but i think that it is important for us as lafco, one of the objectives of lafco is to promote good government, best practices, and i think that stopping that revolving door is b

our capacity to provide education and engagement of the public in difference takeovers on what the puc does. we talk about as a cradle to grave approach as far as wanting to go after the next generation of white -- of ratepayers and water users to folks in the public to elected officials so when you turn on your tap, you understand it is hetch hetchy water and an asset we need to protect and value. as you think about the power enterprise, when you are in the airport, it is powered by the puc. there's a lot of talk around how do we ensure the public, the investments we're making to the city agencies, whether it's around the school district or department of environment it's tied to getting our message out to the type of work we're doing in the community. there will be greater attention in that area. the last part is run workforce development. jobs are a huge party out of the mayor's office and a huge priority for us. it is increased emphasis on how we leverage and amplified jobs opportunities as relates to the puc. this slide talks about the accomplishments for the last year in legislati

an thd the port and puc. the bottom line is that there was significant improvement in the first six months of this fiscal year. the majority of the $129 million general fund surplusage, we will update the estimates -- surplus, we will update the estimates in the subsequent three fiscal years. we will issue with the mayor's budget office and with the budget analyst. additional uncertainty remains as the state and federal budgets are not balanced. i will be happy to answer any additional questions or turn it over to kate. supervisor chu: if there are no questions at this time? supervisor avalos: the airport operating fund is $80 million. how does that get programmed? >> what the airport generally does is it uses a portion of that as a beginning fund balance for the next fiscal year. it is less money that they need to charge the airlines for the landing fees. they also need to maintain a fund balance so that in the event of emergency or unexpected expense -- so i would imagine they would use up to $20 million or

when i learned in when i was checking on puc being over -- you know, the community college? i would check in on my own to see who that land was under. guess who it was? it is not under the water department. the reason it was done that way , i am what they said was supposed to pay no taxes. the real-estate, whoever we pay it to, property tax and everything, they told me i am not paying property tax on it and they do not keep records there, but the city department has all the records that i was involved in at the time. [laughter] i would like to have information on how this transfer is supposed to take place. i know that we will be meeting and there will be discussions. i had never spoken to this one lady, but now we may be having contact, sweetheart. [laughter] meeting over what is and what is not, in how we can stay together as a community in a city agency -- and how we can stay together as a community in a city agency. those of you that know me, you know what you see. but if i cannot understand it, you can never understand it. >> mrs. jackson, i have nothing to say at this

the two white lines that you see here are the extent of the puc's 80-foot right of way. we also have the dashed green line that represents the sanitary district sewer line. this yellow line represents the trace of the hayward fault. we expect to see 5 feet of movement. at this location, we will install the innovative pipeline system to withstand an earthquake and continue to deliver water following an earthquake. to eliminate the conflict between the existing sewer line and the new pipeline we intend to install, which is represented by the dotted line and white boxed shaded araea, we will have the sanitation district relocate the airline has shown. the area of work is the portion that leads us to the sfpuc lands on the top part of the page where it will go into the right of way, up, over, down, and exits the right of way. the sanitary district is concerned that the project will require another sewer line relocation to address -- relocation. to address their concern, we have agreed to cover the cost as part of this project and fully cover the relocation costs xinhua the s

it also allows us to wait and see some of the things that happened at the california puc. that said, i think we are headed in the direction that makes a great deal of sense. i want to thank the staff and think the -- thank the puc and the advocates for their input on this. unless there are comments or questions, why don't we open it up to public comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners. eric curkes, -- burkes, san francisco green party and our city. i want to let folks know that advocates do, when we have been coming together on this and discussing this -- we definitely do want to see this finalized and under way by the end of august. we have a sense of urgency about this. we do not think waiting until after then would be a great idea. as to the improvements on opt out, it sounds like sf puc is headed in the right direction. however, in advocate discussions, we would see anything that is about a 25% up out rate, we are aiming for something pretty low. to that end, and also with regard to timeline, we know from being in stakeholder meetings with the sfpuc and local power,

is something that impacts not just cca, but everything that happens on the puc. we should be on the record in support of good government. >> absolutely, that will be included on the list. supervisor campos: colleagues, commissioners, any questions about item number five? ms. miller? >> you know, i just had one more thought peter i am sorry. normally we try to schedule joint meetings with the sfpuc during the year. and it has always been -- as i have learned over the years, it is much better to start that process earlier than later. i know we talked about the calendar, and now we're talking about cca. but if there is a need to meet in the spring or early summer, we should perhaps start that request now so that we can get a date with everyone's calendar so that we have at least the day. if we do not want it, we do not need to use it. perhaps it might make sense for you to direct us to date for the meeting. supervisor campos: i think this is connected directly to cca and that he would be helpful for staff to get a sense from this commission on what dates might work

again, thank you to the members of the public, to puc staff,

we are getting some cooperative oversight from everyone, california puc as well. there is cooperation and every point. we are not blaming anybody for this accident that occurred, but we are all going to make sure that this does not occur again. we are all on the same page. i lead that effort, talking to the ceo of pg&e this morning. >> [inaudible] >> we are going to go through that. there were some bomb threats that were well-handled yesterday by the police department, but there was no indication, right anything other than an accident. we will continue to compare notes with everybody to determine whether or not there were any external events that would have caused this. so far, we do not have any information that suggests this would have been tempered by anyone. that is with the concurrence of our police and fire chief as well. >> [inaudible] >> again, this was an electrical service to the stadium that failed. our offer is separate, to build a brand new stadium, along with santa clara, with new linkages to power, and new lights. these lights take some time, when t

when i learned in when i was checking on puc being over -- you know, the community college? i would check in on my own to see who that land was under. guess who it was? it is not under the water department. the reason it was done that way

again, thank you to the members of the public, to puc staff, lafco staff, commissioners. thank you, madam clerk.

police, fire, sheriffs, dpm, rec, park, puc, library, medical examiner, and the police. might wonder why the library is on there. that is because in our emergency system, there are more antennas are around the city said that you can talk in buildings and that is something that is necessary with the library. as i mentioned last week, we had been approved through the process last year to refresh our 800 mhz system. the system is currently a dinosaur that has been in operation 13 years. the contract was placed 50 years ago. this is an analog system, this is proprietary technology. vendors are not supporting it anymore. you cannot get parts for it. it is time that you replace it. i would dare to say that there would be public safety issues and we would not want our police and firefighters at risk so i believe now go imperative that we replace that system. the new system will be a digital and system. the life of the system would be 2028. i know that this gets very confusing. why do we need two systems? the system is a digital data system at this point. you can shared text and

his target was puc president who appointed himself to lead the investigation into what pg&e should bened for the san bruno tragedy. >> i find it offensive someone so responsible for the culture has taken it upon himself to lead the direction of this proceeding. >> reporter: yesterday he answered criticism by saying the commissioner would be working closely with him on the investigation. hill today called that a smoke screen and was backed by san bruno's mayor. >> we want the cpuc to know that citizens are watching closely and with great concern. >> reporter: he was the only topic they covered in the meeting outside an advocacy group addressed the cost of upgrading the system. according to their analysis it is going to cost twice as much as pg&e projected. rate payers and insurance are expected to cover most of the cost. >> which means pg&e could profit from the devastating events in san bruno. >> we are here do what the puc and leadership president refused to do, stand up for consumers and stand up to pg&e. >> reporter: i talked to pg&e the spokesman said he needed more time to go ove

i started out with 1 barrel that mardina gave me, from the puc, they gave me a 55-gallon drum. i now have over a dozen drums, 250-gallon drums. i collect over 1,000 gallons of water that i harvest from the rain. this summer, i watered my whole garden with the water from the rain harvest. that is another thing that has happened. i have also watered ann's garden with that same water. another thing -- karen is not here. she is in that nice, gray house. she has been an advocate, working with the environmental things in this community. she was one of the people responsible for pg&e getting us some solar panels, the phillips solar panels. we have solar panels, mardina, ann has solar power. it has cut our energy costs down. the other thing we are trying to emphasize in our blood, in our community, to the young people, to respect the block and to keep it clean, and to learn how to recycle. we have green, blue, and black bins. we need to figure where everything goes because it is part of saving our environment. thank you for coming out. [applause] >> thank you. as juan indicated, this n
