that the lgbt communities are incorporated into our puc and stay current with city build and make sure we're being a good corporate communities. 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 contro

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 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

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

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

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

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

and the plans how we will meet the puc's goal of a 10 percent usage reduction. no. 3, and overview of city water unl by the department. what are the departments doing in terms of consumption and conservation and who is doing well and not. no. 4, how are we protecting the water system, maintaining and updating and improving the water structure and guarding for fire and funding for immediate projects. no. 5, long-term planning. how are we planning for population growth. what are we doing to find sources water whether it be desaulization and i know puc grant was putting a proposal on hold and i would like to hear more about that. what are the departments doing to educate water customers, no. 6, to educate customers about the needs to previous and the methods to preserve. those are my objections today. thank you all for being here and with that, i want to turn it over to richie, assistant general manager for water. >> thank you, madam chair and supervise ofrments -- supervisors. the last time we called for reduction it rained. when people start paying attention, we

we're hoping that if you have concerns about staff and that's with the puc keeping in mind everybody is doing the best job. you'll raise those issues with our general manager who who has an open door policy. i'm asking you to consider 3 message we have so much to do this is our second budget meeting but i think everyone got their point. i'm going to go ahead and call the first speaker. welcome to the puc >> again and again good morning, commissioners this is also kevin i want to make a brief set of comments. i'm ann come back iron i'm the executive director of the conservation core we wouldn't be here without the support of the puc so i'm going to thank you for your support and the good work for the benefit district activities and workforce development. we were started with the help which mayor feinstein and other city departments help us are that the young people are 18 to 25 that come from the low income neighborhood in san francisco and we help them move on to careers picture without the opportunity to do work on the puc watersheds our young people wouldn't be growing and becoming

and i am interested in ways for the puc to do more of this. i was supportive of cca and i'm so disappointed that that did not move forward. and i guess two questions. i know that some projects that move forward -- i think hunters point is going to be using puc power provider >> that's right. >> under the pjta [speaker not understood]. i'm just wondering, we approved a lot of development agreements whether it's cpmc or park merced. i know we're going to have piers 30 and 32 coming forward. i would like it to always be part of the conversation whether the puc should be the power provider because if we are particularly where public land is involved or other public benefits, it would seem to me we should always be considering that. so, could you comment on that? >> sure, sure. as you say, we have been providing electricity to essential city services for decades. we've been kind of the quiet utility here in town. with our, with our growing interest from residents, businesses, the supervisors, policy makers and having a stronger presence and providi

careers picture without the opportunity to do work on the puc watersheds our young people wouldn't be growing and becoming the active citizens those people and the young man who that came today. thank you for the support you've provided the community. the core has been lucky to sunshine have your support for the last 10 years you're looking at new support for a number of different initiatives and we appreciate the fact you've given us support for the last thirty years. i'd like to introduce kevin >> hi, kevin. >> i'm kevin vargas i was born and raised in san francisco. i started this core to get my high school diploma and to obtain job readiness skills the work experience will help me to gain experience to be able to get a job in landscaping e.r. 4r57bd management. my goal is to join the price labor union. i learned to help and identify things from the grasslands. i learned how to see how the ine endangered buttered fly and other species that are native to california. the land more and more project was prop 84 up in crystal springs loorng along the reservoir near how 92 and canada roa

first, [speaker not understood] from the puc is here.ant to call him up and make sure that i got it right when i described our agreement. >> yeah, i'd like to thank the supervisor. my name is todd [speaker not understood]. i'm the assistant general manager [speaker not understood] for the public utilities commission. and i'd like to thank all the attention on street lights in particular. as noted here, that increase is roughly a 20-fold increase in the amount of investment. so, through the hard work of the supervisor's office and the mayor's office, we've figured out how to do that. there is a lot yet to do at hetch hetchy. you will hear much more from us in the capital planning process because there are many capital needs. and, so, much more discussion on our [speaker not understood]. >> thank you, mr. reid strom. ~ also i would like to just thank andres power in my office who really put a lot of energy into moving us toward this agreement. and then i'd like to move items 16 and 17 and move to table items 18 and 19. >> so, supervisor wi

>> yes, there is no contract between the puc and green for all. >> and so the puc terminated the contract? >> i believe that green for all did. >> green for all terminated the contract. >> i believe so. >> and the puc, agreed to that termination? >> yes. >> one thing that struck me in the penalty discussion, was that there was not much discussion of factors a, through, c. in the exhibit 1. and so i am curious as to what investigation we did and what, or how the staff came out on any intent to conceal or deceive and whether it was deliberate, intentional or in ad vert ant. >> with respect to the severity, it is addressed in the, it is one of the more serious violations of the conduct code and then, the... >> the suspect of the penalty amount, and i think that, at least to the two accounts and staft took into consideration, the penalty that the respondent would pay the fppc. and so that and also, she had no prior history with the commission, and she had returned all of the money that she had received from the green for all during the time, and when these events occurred. >> what is the most

and also maybe the heads of the other key other departments that we have to interact with like the puc and rec and park and, you know, as you guys can put together a -- sort of a limited list. i mean obviously the department at one point [speaker not understood] every other city department, we've got 77 different people commenting on it. but i think that would be a really helpful way of getting them into the into the process as well. and also seeing how we can deepen those relationships. >> i think that's smart. and the broad picture direction that we have from the mayor is he wants to do a national search and he wants to also -- the second thing i think the mayor is looking for in the mayor's office is obviously similarly looking for is kind of community feedback. the trick there would be -- it was even kind of thrown out, suggested as an idea, i think it's a good one, i think it could be some logistical stuff to work through. but the potential to have a meeting in the community before we make our decision to get some kind of sense from community members, you know, the tricks about do

but we're only starting with mta and puc sites. why are we focusing on those. they have significant land holding and have to report their property to the city ordinance but there's a little bit of easy around the process there's a separate process going on to look at the john updyke how to approve the city process. so that's separate but we're indefinitely coordinating on what he's doing and lastly even though those sites are owned by enterprise agencies they should benefit the public. as ken mentioned we don't have a list today of specific sites we can say we're looking at some mta sites such as a folsom doing something there and for example, the puc there the balboa park plan that's been discussion. we feel first, we need to do the site specific analysis are reeven able to develop those sites before we can talk about the work so most importantly we need to have the community discussion and say 1972 e this is a potential development site and most importantly i should mention we want to test the program so we want to make sure we track this cooperation and make

. >> i think both were discussed because there was the idea since the puc joint commission date worked with their calendar which -- after the budget, yeah. >> it would have been after the budget. so, then we talked about doing it in your committee, yeah. but here's the thing. if you're deliberating on the budget and committee, if we notice the meeting as a committee of the whole, which we may be doing already, are we monica? at operations? >> we can. if there is interest by other commissioners to attend the meeting, we can on notice as commission as a whole. >> would you other committee members have objections just noticing it as committee of the whole just in the off chance? because then to your point about folks coming, if it's just as a matter of practice noticed as a meeting of the committee of the whole, folks can come there. and that would be good because there have been a couple things i saw and i remember thinking, oh, man i'd like to go, but it's too late to notice as a committee of the whole. >> so, the question is going to be february 19th is a problem for anybody? i think i
