we really appreciate puc's partnership in this project. puc's role on an ongoing basis will be to monitor the actual electricity usage from the shoreside power facility and report back to the port and to the bae. we estimate -- these estimates are based on taxable debt of $6.3 million capital outlay, based on the project cost of $5.7 million. we have a debt service reserve of just over $600,000, and a very low $50,000 cost of issuance, because we are proposing to combine the debt issuance with the debt required for the cruise terminal project. the long-term financing would probably be certificates of participation. we paid by port harbor funds. we are estimating that over the 10-year timeframe of financing that we would recover at least 75% of the project costs through the sfpuc contribution to the project and the 4¢ per kilowatt hour equip in charge. >supervisor avalos: just a question related to the electricity charges, there is a story in the business section today about the ferry building. it looks like pg&e could be -- i think it is s

i would like to say thank you to the puc. they have purchased all new sewing equipment for that class. we were able to keep our capital leases. we have been provided with a custodial program here in the building. we are in continuation of conversation with the puc in regards to the renovation of the building. city college i believe we have reformed our relationship with the community and community leaders. we are working very closely with community-based organizations. city college, we believe, that we should have a solid relationship with the community , and with government entities. city college also has a one-stop service center that is working extremely well. a student can come into our service center and they can see someone from enrollment, financial aid. we have to do counseling and we just began the program. i want to say thank you to the chancellor because he oversees this program and implemented it. our students are really grateful and i'm grateful because they don't have to go to the different campus to be serviced

i am saying, we need to get behind the puc and incurred them. we're asking 50 people, 50 people is not a lot when you look at the amount of trade within that facility. from clerical, engineers, superintendents, they can do it. we have actually work force developers here. they have a lot of plans. we also have a lot of plans. we need to get together, form a committee for the 9910 program that would consist of the community and the waste-water facility. we need to them to oversee what is going on at the facility with this program. we can do a lot better than we have done over the years. for those that don't know this, this is a program that is based in the bayview hunters point only. you must live in this area to enter this program. thank you. >> hello, my name is deborah warren burger. i have been a business owner and san francisco for 20 years and have been associated with this program since 2005. you heard a lot tonight about the wonderful programs that we have and you have heard our use speak. one thing that i can add is a word about the staff

bat -- we're also proud of what the puc does. you are doing great stuff. these other agencies, is a very different culture and i think -- i do not think it will do you a lot of good and it will put you in bed with people who do not value the environment the way we do in san francisco and the bay area. i encourage you to think about it all a bit more if not just say no. we will go our own course. thank you. president moran: do have any comment on that? >> i would be happy to. one of the things about san francisco is our and unique situation. we're a coastal urban city with our customers. we have a lot in common. we have a lot in common with the folks in the central valley who are water users from the same system. there are many instances where we need to work for a closely with our partners on the rivers to make sure that we are working with -- with the context of what we consider the best regulation, the most effective regulation in terms of flows that could be provided. we actually do have a lot in common with them. as opposed to the state and federal wat

puc is really embracing technology. we wanted to make sure we really had a system that would elevate all issues so we could address them in a timely manner. as you know, time is money. we have a construction management information system. it is a great tool to help us address construction and make it successful, as it is today. cmis is one of the first major tools we put in place. the next one is the san francisco online invoicing, where we are now working with the contractor and consultant to have them submit their invoices online. we are also working on electronic bidding systems. another way we can reduce the paperwork and all the other issues tied with the procurements. i live in san francisco. i am a rate-payer. i really care about the way we spend our money. systems like this that will allow transparency, clarity, accountability, and efficiency -- i think systems like this need to be applied to all parts of the city. we really strive to lead and embraced technology so we can be ahead of the game.

commissioner campos: we want to thank puc and lafco staff on the previous item. this is an item we discussed in a couple of prior meetings and directed staff to begin their work on a study of the voting process by including ranked joyce voting. -- rank choice voting. >> jason fried, lafco staff again. we have gotten most of the data that we needed to the system right now, we are continuing to refine or review the information that is available to us. over time, what has been available has gotten much better. some of that information isn't as a parent horas clear. we're trying to look at ways of comparing -- have there been any patterns with rank choice voting, are they good or bad? we are doing data crunching in the system. we also have the opportunity to sit down and talk with people about rank choice voting. there was a study done in 2004 and 2005. there is hope that we will get an updated version of that study. this number-crunching, i have a very talented in turn that can help with a lot of that data crunching. he has been able to utilize that. commissioner av

date, is that something you have received from puc saying that is what they are expecting? >> it is based upon conversations i have had with those that are familiar with the proceedings there. commissioner campos: in terms of the code of conduct by communities, what are the kinds of issues that we are talking about in terms of the kinds of things that protocol will address? >> one of the biggest ones is functional separation. if the utilities can handle marketing aspect to their utilities to try to sway folks from participating, that it not be housed in to the same group

i know the puc would contend that it is missable load. pg&e is arguing it is not municipal load. with. 27 and you're 70, we are very clearly talking about -- with pier 27 and 70, we are specifically talking about the port drydock and the puc would contend that is missable load. it is very clean hydropower, and i think it improves the profile of the project. supervisor avalos: it also serves the purpose of providing a clean source of electrical generation, which is a municipal service. >> yes, exactly. chairperson chu: thank you. >> the court has been in these with bae sfr or its predecessors since 1977. there have been five amendments to that the spirit of these are maritime leases, so they do not come to the board of supervisors. they are approved through the port commission. it is a very complicated and interesting site that most people do not know about. i know that you, supervisor avalos, have been down to the site with port staff. they pay a percentage rent to the port. we had a very similar amendment to the least in the past to make improvements to the port at the dry dock

the puc would pay for the cost of insulation and long-term operation of the solar systems. this is an agreement that generally covers water systems might be applied in the coming years. it is a 35-year agreement. it comes from the fact it is a 10-year agreement. if the last system went in and 10 years, it would make it a 35- year agreement in place. we're very excited to be able to do this. we are asking for your approval for the master license agreement. >> think you very much. this item does not have a budget analyst report. -- supervisor chu: thank you. members of the public that wish to speak on item number two? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor avalos: motion to approve and forward to the full board with recommendation. and supervisor chu: promotion to send forward with recommendations. to go item number three, resolution authorizing the director of the office of economic and workforce development to apply for, except come and expend grant funds in the amount of 1,350,000 from the california department of housing and community development catalyst commu

colleagues, unless you have any questions for puc or lafco staff, which will open it up to the public. any member of the public would like to speak, you have three minutes. >> good afternoon, i represent the san francisco green party and our city. i just wanted to touch on a couple of things staff raised, the main on the polling data, mixed in with the p.g. in the announcement, and what this program is looking like. the stake holder meetings between lafco, sfpuc, a local power, and the advocates have been going pretty well. the local power information about the rollout is maturing. well, indicating a lot of very good things. it looks like there will be a lot of creative ways that we can use to build out to, for example, reduce the opt-out rate, which was raised at the beginning by very specifically targeting consumers who are willing to buy into the program at the beginning, to become part owners of that, things like that, renewable energy shares. if local power is able to come up with what it believes that it can, that also will give those customers a comparable rate to pg&e's correc

we are dedicating funds and staff resources to achieve the - -kee- keep the puc lights operating. we must improve streetlight levels of service regardless of ownership. perhaps you're hearing can focus their. so that we can improve the quality of streetlight services for all san francisco residents. there are concrete strategies that we need to examine as a city. updated electronic mapping of street lights, and to make sure the mapping is up to date. if we had of today's electronic mapping of pg&e lights, we could probably determine who is responsible and reduce repair time. we need to work with pg&e to adopt the same levels of service goals that we have for sfpuc. a 48 hour turnaround time for outages at 21 days for replacing knockdown pulls. -- knocked down poles. we document responsiveness at addressing outages. i look forward to finding real solutions for this problem. president chiu: our final question will be provided by supervisor cohen. supervisor cohen: good afternoon, mr. mayor. mr. president. we have a number of public safety challenges. how not to say that we don't of

we were working with the puc. we're not starting -- we're not starting from ground zero. there is work that has been done already. >> this one slipped by me and i am really sorry. i do not have a sense of everything that is funded that is not -- does not have enough to make a difference or have the project afford. i am not quite sure how you came up with these numbers versus the park versus all these other things out there. the money is not being used. but we decided to take money from these parts. >> we did go through quite an extensive review. we first found funds that were available from closed project. these two projects we could not accomplish with the existing funding. for the other projects in the capital program, there were not ones that were standouts we could not accomplish with our existing allocation and that was the reason for those projects. we needed to match the dredging and appear demolition costs with capital sources. we had so much from what we could find from close projects that had surplus left. and these were the leading contenders. there was no easy
