my staff and i presented a light policy to the puc the puc accepts ownership for future pedestrian lights. as you see pedestrian left to right systems installed and the neighborhood improvements occur the puc accepts those pedestrian lights and becomes the owner and operator of those pedestrian light as well >> so when a development is happening for example. >> uh-huh. >> and the project sponsor is required to upgrade the lights are those also pedestrian grade lights new. >> they've been required to put in street lights and now they have to include a pedestrian component. >> now outside where you have a developer that's required to make investments like lighting how is the puc doing in terms of converting the other 25 thousand into pedestrian packages and the light or the lower left to right is closer to the sidewalk and lights the sidewalks more directly and not blocked by trees. >> right. so it's not just developers that are required to improve the streets with pedestrian lighting now. any street light improvements that trigger lighting improvement trigger both the street light and the

and for the puc our funding is our own revenues. san francisco's street lights services are funded by puc are regardless of who owns the lights. so it's looks like a large appropriation when you look at the budget >> supervisors overseeing the budget it's leveling .5 million for this fiscal year but it's funding for one budget the van ness bus project so we have little fund for other street light repairs and improvements throughout the city we own 25 thousand lights but only 3 hundred thousand plus a year to spend. >> it's shocking in a bad way. so loneliness $400,000 a year for repair and improvements to the entire puc stock of 25 street lights >> right for this year that's the amount of funding. >> and has that varied by year. >> it does vary by year after the capital plan passing was pro proved you see 2, 3, 1916 million but the replacement fund are around the 350 to 380 finger. >> i just can you help me clearly i mean to the extent i think we all agree buckets are a reflection of priorities so can you explain the arbitrary all f

and puc staff to make sure we're aligned with major initiative. are there structural communication with either party making the repair of street light it difficult if the answer is yes we're going to get together to solve those. we weren't communicating very well and to put the people together in the field so they can hash out the issues before they become citywide issues >> where are the current soft spots. while we've made major improvements in cooperating there are things that are difficult one fact is the system we log outages. per diem has their own system for the 15 million customers we operate differently we do duplicate repairs so when an outage comes in it will go to the city and we close it in our system and 311. unfortunately, it's often down so people can't log it in it maybe done in december 1st and it might be out until the 7 letting. it's not an issue from a data and reporting standpoint it miss categories the work that's being done >> i know last year you discussed or we discussed physical examinations database in terms of all the

if the california puc required pg & e to put that in their proposal. and we are asking the california puc to require pg & e to ensure that all green tariff cost are born only by participating customers so that their green tariff proposal is not subsidized by non-participants. in the california puc's energy efficiency funding and we'll continue to stay involved protecting not only the city's interest but also the particular concerns of how to take advantage for the community choice aggregators. thank you. >> okay. also we have presentation on the rfp. >> yes. staff was directed at the last meeting to address the local energy build out program. some of the issues that staff was directed also included a marketing approach. that's not in this particular rfp and we were under the impression that that did not need to be under this particular draft. but if that is not the direction of the commission just let us know. what this rfp deals with is a build out program to find an independent consultant to issue criteria that the commission has developed which is o

i provide management oversight and direction for the 3 enterprises that serves the puc pardon i have 3 directors that the puc implements one important water as you know julie had done that and now with the water improvement director and karen is at the helm of the sewer project and previously chris was at the helm and ches has taken a promotional opportunity on the operational side on the other hand, and we'll have a replacement. so those 3 people are responsible for the day to day management of the enlist praktsz facility capital needs. we have our engineer management bureaus i've talked about the functions and our structure if you look at on the left the left column is the typical needs through the life of the program project management and cost and scheduled control. we have the engineering ever design phase of a project the construction management during the construction phase. overall quality assurance which mayors with the quality control our environmental analyst functions and everything we do goes through the prourment process and our latest on the 3 enterprises. those are th

it concerns me that we haven't heard from the puc. i don't know if there's a representative here, but this is certainly -- i guess in the week that we begin to have this conversation, hopefully we'll hear more from the puc. i'd like to understand their needs. i know the needs in district ten, but i'm curious to know the needs across the city. i know the puc has an interesting pilot program they'll be unvailing sometime this year as it relates to the technology and the grid and keeping track of the lights, particularly those that have burnt out in getting their replacement bulbs in a more timely manner. >> thank you. supervisor yee. >> thank you. i want to thank supervisor wiener for bringing up this issue. the -- i get in my district actually concerns lighting or the lack of lighting or broken lighting and so forth are many of the calls i get. i appreciate you're bringing this issue. i think it's very important and we need to have discussion around it. i would, at some point, that we need to put some resources into improving our stree

barbara hale at the puc. speaking on item b and c first. as i believe you have been following, we've been having our public presentations about our budget and in private conversations as well with our general manager wefrment facing difficult times with the financial circumstances within power enterprise and with the power operations of hetch hetchy. we have some capital needs. we have higher than anticipated increases and cost for distribution services from pg & e and we are projected to be out of balance by fiscal year 16-17. in light of that, our direction from the general manager and commissioners are to really focus our efforts at the puc on solving that problem. so we are really refocusing in a way that helps us achieve our highest value revenue which points us more toward increasing the customers we serve on our publically owned utility side of the house if you will and not on our cca side. we are also looking of course at ways to reduce our cost. so that's where our focus is at puc and with respect to item a, we did make a presentat

today hearing two we want to cover the rest of the puc. each of our enterprises i want to point out are independent so we're going to go over water and wastewater ambassador we'll be presenting a balanced budget and final plan. and see with that we are also have in mind that our affordability and single digital bill increases are incorporated in our budget and make sure that we balance the need for infrastructure investment when we talk about rebuilding our system. i'd like to have tom come up and summarize the budget picture and including the puc budget and the budget changes being proposed and ask them to cover the enterprise >> thank you very much general manager. i'm the general manager of the cfo. if you're packets is a a lot of materials the first 89 pages relate to the budget so we're going to walk through the key highlights and deal with everything you had not haven't heard. i want to cover a summary of the total budget now that you have the projects in front of you. if we can take a moment this is what it looks like our total bill

i want to ask puc about that and that is the status of the shell contract. i can speculate probably accurately but i want to hear from you. >> barbara hale from power. we have not engaged with shell. our department let us believe that we are not going forward with the cca program as was conceived since we did not get authority though go forward. we have not been engaging with shell. >>supervisor john avalos: thank you. seems like a land with a big thud. okay, i thought the puc, the commissioners just did not approve not to exceed rates. but have they made an occasion that cleanpowersf is dead and gone? that wasn't my understanding. they just didn't approve not to exceed rates. >> i think it's accurate to say there has been no formal vote on the status of the program. the general manager and the commission have engaged in public dialogue about the program. we've been given direction at the staff level to focus our efforts on the need to get our financial house back in order. so that's where our focus has been. >>supervisor john avalos: okay. we'll have a pres

we can't assume that sf puc will take them and control them. that's what we have had in the last few years that we have groups that assume that they know a lot. for example when i read a memorandum of understanding on the facility, i knew the language was wrong. i had to go and get the original document and send it to the assistant general manager of infrastructure and to ask jackson. so that they could read it and really understand what was the role of sf puc at the facility commission. it is to maintain the building. and you cannot leave out the community. similarly, you have to have open communication with the people who operate the green houses, open transparent communication and not come out with some set of ideas that may seem to be okay but you don't pay attention to small businesses who have invested, have been there for 10-20 years, undergone a lot of hardships especially 2008 economic spiraling survive and get dictated as to what is going to be their future. so i'm bringing this to the attention of the commission because i have taken

we have 87 people in the puc and next year we'll be down to 90 person and down are from that. so your point commissioner moran we're not trying to keep that organization large on or the ssi p we're at 60 people and anticipate at the end of the next year 2 hundred and 35 people on a increase in puc people for hetch hetchy and r and r work we're looking to maintain our staffing around the 2 hundred number and use consultants and other city departmental work orders to deal with the peaks in the next 5 year period. we'll be ramming up next year to 6 years from now and looking at the approved program we'll ramp down over the following two years if the commissioner approved at some point more work for the ssi p we'll redo the numbers look at our staffing at that point. but your goal is to try to stay flat. we're asking for 21 new positions by the way, they're all project related positions and in ever case if we don't plan for the in-house hire and the work there we will be increasing the number of consultants and while we're supportive of the opportunities i want to have as much tal

the other culpable party is the puc itself. it's just the height of regulatory or responsibility to leave the public unprotected in a situation this thing. the drivers personal insurance will deny responsibility. the insurance industry has said to the puc. the various parties that participated in the puc ruling procedures time and time again, we tried to express them with the fact that there were those huge gaps in their insurance rules and apparently still are. so - thank you >> mr. hubert can you ask you. do you personally plan to attend the puc meeting and impart the same information >> the next c u pc meeting is on january 16th and i urge everyone to attend that meeting and speak in public comment. >> we have one other speaker card for item 9. >> good afternoon mr. wen in her. >> one aspect of the transit that i of all the evidence there's been no medical opinion about walking along distances to the bus stop. well, i did consult with dr. in the department and he provided documents that with increasing age there's increasing

i want to thank the puc staff for taking the restoration of the puc water shed seriously. we got started on this in 2005 with $20 million from proposition a and $30 million over a 10-year period from the water enterprise budget. we spent $18 million so far and the projection by the end of the period it will leave $12 million. we would love to see that project. there is understanding that there is planning and permitting and takes time and the idea that a lot of projects would be back ended. but we think it's really important to continue this on. it's not a one 110-year period to protecting water shed that is really an on going commitment. we are hoping there will be continued funding of $2-3 million per year and not just rollover the extra funds and feel like we are still doing it. the funding is critical and we'll be working with you on that. and there is a plan to have the next 10 years and that's what we love. thank you for your good work and look forward to the projects ahead. >> thank you very much for being here. on communications, commissioners, i'm going to alert -

work together and look at it in a different way and i think it's important that we do away from the puc. >> thank you to the staff for the work and the information you brought back to us it's really helpful and i'm actually very excited and opt imistic and so i really appreciate the work that everyone has invested in making this a possibility thank you. >> do we need to take a vote on item 3 c. >> i'd prefer if you direct staff to prepare an rfp for your consideration at least an outline at your next meeting along the lines of your discussion. >> so you want us to make a motion to approve this item? >> yes. >> so we have a motion by commissioner breed seconded by commissioner councilmember marcason mar. >> thank you for your great work on this. >> before we move onto the next item -- i don't believe that we have taken a motion to excuse commissioner, chair avalos who could not be here so if we can have a motion by commissioner breed and if we can take that without objection. thank you. item number 4. >> 2014 lafco schedule. >> great. miss miller. >> the appropriate schedule is before yo

so we listened because the puc and this general manager we are supportive. we made recommendations to address >> item 7 is other commissioners business. commissioner seeing none, is there any any public comment on item 7 it's closed >> item 8 is report of the general manager. >> so the only update i have is water supply update. >> excuse me. steve assistant general manager for water. if i could have the power point please. i'm going to update you on the water supply as we discussed earlier. the water supply conditions have about a million feet in storage that's about 70 photo in our storage. our water supply is a storage batted system. by comparison back in the year 2007 with have 80 percent of the storage. i referenced this because that's the last time that the commission declared a storage and called for 10 percent of volunteer rachel. but now the demand is 10 percent lower down to 24 million glances a day compared to two hundred and 50 million glances. we're in a dry year it's the demand is lower so we need to factor those things. the perspiration outcome

about infrastructure i was at a meeting at city planning two or three days ago and all of a sudden puc comes up about getting properties to bill. when we and nothing was mentioned about the infrastructure part of that was done at 18 hundred oakdale. my understanding in going to meeting is that sun born where they rode the plants and things at they haven't been able to do the job in the community. out of all the numbers i hear about jobs i want to know how many of those jobs have gone to zip code 92424. because most of the people that come into my community don't live there that they make decisions but don't live there. they don't know about the structure of the community. i want you all to be cautious, you know, about all the things you're not aware of what goes on, you know, into hunters point shipyard and we're another a dangerous level i hope you take into account we need your help to stop the madness in my community >> thank you, dr. francisco >> commissioners what we need to do is do an economic analysts of the bayview. we've been talking about a lot of on the capital investment a

now having said that, that we don't know how many people work for puc maybe 2 thousand plus that just like the city nobody know where the 29 thousand workers work but anyway, having one worker for every 289 constituents is a joke. so in the year 9014 for example, we want to know all the new people that were hired in one of you all department of external affairs rather than those five or six people are warranted. we want to know and we want to know if they work so hard how did they find time and use their influence as a conduit to send $1,200,000 to green. so good men come here and try to like talk the talk that's fine. we have to learner to walk the walk. thank you very much >> thank you francisco. next card jason freed >> jason freed. chair al loss couldn't be here so i'm here with his notes and according to the january 10th could he power points that gm kelly put total and harassing as mr. brooks mentioned we believe this program is good. when you take a look at you're looking for new customers cac is an abundance of new customers what could help and i'll san diego with mr. brooks i

most of our activities recently on the cca front for in puc proceedings where pg and e's green tariff option has continued to move forward. developing a green rate the statute requires a commission decision by july so we are expecting that the commission will need to issue at least a proposed decision in the april time frame in order to meet that statute requirement at this point we would expect pg and e's projected green tariff rate to be initially offered at 12.3 cents a kill owatt hour and that rate is forecast to increase to 9.4 cents a kilowatt hour in january so pg and e's basic service energy component of basic service rates is increasing come january to 9.4 cents and their current proposal before the cpuc under the green tariff option would be to offer the one hundred percent green power at 12.3 cents a kilowatt hour again that's just a proposal. we're expecting more activity probably around april. turn then to energy efficiency issues at the cpuc as it relates to -- >> can i ask a question? >> absolutely. >> so since pg and e is in control of the power throughout the city owe

support bureaus it's to provide high quality support so we're in service to the coordination of the puc. then we're also responsible for having the priority at the local state and a federal level. it's informing the 24/70 on the operation services happening in our team. we've been charged with the environmental justice policy adapted in 2009 and 11 and we're responsible for the monitoring the agencies work in the substantial planning. here's a quick organizational chart how we're structured in external affairs we can make a change in the head. then there's legislative affairs. so today, i'm going to quickly walk you through our major accomplishments as well as talk about our other issues. the result has been a significant increase in the wastewater and power commission. we see every constituent request based on the operations we provide whether it's constituent requests or folks who get brought to us by the customer service we look for ways to educate the people around the agency issues. a few highlights we're going to look at we've helped to castle e educate people on hetch hetchy. man
