clean power s.f. quarterly update. a report on customer enrolment and service status. efforts to secure long-term power commitments from renewable resources, and job impacts of clean power s.f. first, our enrolment and service to customers. clean power s.f. continues to serve customers successfully, meeting our customer needs and our regulatory requirements. we conducted our last nature auto enrolment process this past april, so it is a good time for us to recap our overall program enrolment. we also want to share with you what we heard from the customers to opt out and why they chose topped out. our program popped out percentage over the life of the program, from its may 2016 start , is three-point for -- is three-point four%. we experience in 96% retention rate. that is 6,300 accounts electing to receive 100% renewable like electricity from us. at previous meetings, you've asked us to bribe information on the reasons customers opt out the clean power s.f. program. we had approximately 280,000 custom

the next one is that we support s.f. environment environments to implement the multi-family bay model into commercial properties. we hill recommend that. i believe that has happened as well. and the third is we support pay for performance program, developed through programs offered by s.f.e. and the sfpump c. and the next one that we consider a model in which businesses of a similar type be aggregated and energy measures are done on those to reduce cost and complexity. an example is the pilot project that was done for refrigeration across all small stores and small businesses. and that was a huge success. kind of taking one measure and going across the sector is often an effective way of, you know, having a big impact. the next performance area is to prioritize multi-family housing. thank you. here we say that san francisco offers customer friendly, comprehensive programs for distributed energy resources. this recommendation goes across our -- all of our recommendations, is to have a one-stop hub for residents to access.

we presented to the directors of s.f. environment and the power department at sfpuc barbara hail and debby and their staff. we had a really creative conversation about where we can take these recommendations. and i thought that was a really good sort of -- we set the few next steps for the two teaing agencies to work together. we were asked for priority recommendations. we offered two and made them more current. because right now this whole building d-decarbon nation work is popping and a lot of funding is coming that way. i feel like we have already started the process of setting those next steps. would you like to add anything? >> i was looking at the director. because i think the department is moving forward, as avni mentioned in the reporting, some of these things have been done. i think the momentum is there. just a matter of keeping at it. >> and is there -- are there plans or is there sort of political will or financing to keep this kind of to track what's happening against these recommendations going forward? >> t

but we are changing with hope s.f. these are communities that demand the respect, that demand for us to pay attention to them and make sure that that isolation that has existed changes. so this is not just about the housing that is going up; it is also about the grocery stores that we fight for to come to this community. it's also about making sure that the streets and the roads look like other areas here in san francisco. it is about the joint partnership with bains and nibby, and bains being the biggest black contractor that we have working on projects here in san francisco. it's about all of those pieces working together to create a vibrant community for the people who have been made so many promises for years. as someone who has lived in public housing, and who had opportunities and mentorship and people helping me be able to grow, so we can come back and work together to realize the things we've talked about for decades. and that is the vibrancy of hope s.f. communities. so i just want to say i'm excited, of cours

ownership of this system transferred to s.f. p. in 2010. the fire department is the end user of this system. therefore system improvements and expansion must be approved by the fire department, the public utilities commission, and public works. public works visit been providing management for this system ins it since its inception. we understand what is happening in the system in terms of water, in terms of all of the decisions that we make. this is a map of the original emergency firefighting water system. i want to walk everyone through it. a couple of things to note, as mr. garver pointed out, when it was originally built, the majority of the city resided in the northeast sector of the city. you can see there is a pretty broad network of pipes there. that's where the city existed after the 1906 earthquake. in terps o terms of the water sources that feed into the system, the primary water sources come from the three yellow squares you'll see in front of you. the twin peaks reservoir, the ashbury tank and the jones street tank. those three

let's play s.f., which was the beneficiary for party for the parks, commissioner, that you mentioned. let's play s.f. is an amazing partnership between the recreation and parks department and the san francisco parks alliance, where we are overhauling 13 of the most deserving and needy playgrounds all around the city, impacting 20,000 kids in those neighborhoods who use those playgrounds. and west portal playground is one of the 13. saturday's event will include food, games, brief remarks, and an opportunity to spend time with our neighbors, which we should all be doing more of. as a special side note, kaiser permanente -- it was announced that he has made a $1.6 million contribution to the let's play s.f. campaign. so thank you for the bottom of our hearts, kaiser, and we join you in your mission to let people live long and thrive. next we are the u.s. national lawn bowling championships which we are hosting right here in golden gate park. the top men and women lawn bowlers will compete in the 2019 c

the 2008 s.f. g.h. bond, some months ago, i spoke to the city attorneys office, elaine o'neill, and she said that the subcontractor passed through claim and had gone through the g.c., had talented --did it settle? >> she gave us a little back story about this issue. >> thank you, member lurkin for the question. yes, this is regarding the 2008 s.f.g.h. improvement bond. this century bond tha is the bos passed to construct a new hospital on campus. what mr. lurkin was alluding to and chair chu mentioned, as the party was completed, there was ongoing litigation that was, i guess -- that the city got involved with. it started with a litigation between web corp builder, which is the general contractor, and there was an ongoing litigation between one of their subcontractors, by the name of khsns. they had filed a lawsuit again web corp, and web corp pulled the city into litigation. so it was a cost complaint against the city and county of san francisco. so, yes, since then the settlement has been completed, f

thanks to the public utilities commission and the clean power s.f. program, we have 100% clean electricity that we can use to power all of the energy needs of our buildings. we don't need to use natural gas to hoot our wate heat our waterd should use 100% gas-free electricity to do that instead. starting january 1, 2020, my legislation will incentivize developers to design and build all-electric buildings without using any natural gas. for a mixed fuel commercial buildings and units of four or more, new projects will be required to be 10% more efficient than the building code and all-electric will be required to meet the code standards. for low-rise residential of one to three stories, they will be required to be 1 % more efficit than the building code. and all of this a adds up to mae natural gas more expensive than the all-electric alternative. this is a step forward but not nearly enough. so today supervisor brown and i announce a commitment to bring forward the legislation within the next six months to ban natural gas in all new residential and c

many s.f. cannabis businesses are required to show their commitment to equity. and this extends to cannabis event organizers. commissioners, we have been pleased with the early success of these permits and feel that the amendments described here will make the program even better more event attendees. i look forward to hearing the commission's feedback and hopefully having your support for this ordinance. i would also like to thank and our colleagues at the office of cannab cannabis. >> thank you. any questions, commissioners? i just want to say that you guys did a great job with grasslands at outside lands. you know, there wasn't any -- not one complaint, not one police action or event or anything. from people i know who attended, you guys had your act together. i think that was a great model that you did, and i can see you doing that at other events and in other neighborhoods now. i think you guys just did a great job with this and i like this a lot. do we have any other comments before we go to public comment? do we have any members of the public who would lik

we convened leaders from city departments, from ucsf, from s.f.eral hospital, and a variety of community-based service providers. we conducted dozens of stakeholder interviews, including a focus group at the respite center. we engaged closely with the department of public health throughout the process, checking assumptions and findings against the experience of our city partners. now, as the mayor said, the findings are in. we need to know the names and needs of everyone who is homeless with a behavioural healthcare need, provide wrap-around services that promote stabilization and a path to permanent housing, and ensure that systems and services proactively address and reduce disparities, especially among black and lgbtq individuals experiencing homelessness. tipping point's role going forward will be to fund the priority investments in the department of public health and the service community, while encouraging our philanthropic partners and peers to do the same. we are taking the first steps towards making this vision a reality. today we are ann

we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together.ly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans

walk s.f. is the only pedestrian advocacy organization in san francisco with the goals of ending pedestrian deaths and serious injuries on our streets as well as improving our street and sidewalk so that more people choose to walk every day. i'm here to express walk s.f.'s position on the better market street project in the near for clear separation between the sidewalk and the protected bike lane based on safety needs. market street is a place where half a million people walk every single day, and yet it is one of our most dangerous streets. collision reports show us the fifth and market intersection is the most dangerous intersection in our city, and just a few weeks ago, a 79-year-old woman lost her life at that intersection. because the data shows that people are being hit and killed along market street, we need to do something to change these unnecessary tragedies from continuing to occur. the better market street plan, with its improved intersections and sidewalk level bike lanes, will ma

and also at that time we are going to have our very long-term concepts out there through connect s.f., and we want this document ultimately to serve a bridge to bring the timeline from 50 years back to the present. so now i'm going to turn it over to anne fritzler from the performance team, lucky enough to have her serving as the project manager on this effort. >> good afternoon, directors, anne fritzler. here to discuss the capital needs update, 2019. it is the -- identifies the unfunded capital needs for the agency and the first step in our capital planning process overall. it is not committing funding to any specific need at this time, but it does allow us to identify projects, programs and needs and investments we will need to be doing over the next 20 years. inclusion in this update does not mean it's going to be definitely included into further down the line in our planning process, but it does help us identify replacement, renewal, improvement, expansion and accusation needs the agency has. this is our high level look at our capital planning process. right now in the upper righ

and then following up on that, could you address the safety issues that walk s.f. brought up, some t-intersections they brought up that they -- a head shake, and then maybe particularly the library -- ok. and intersection where they felt they had raised issue of more pedestrian safety issues, challenges around that. >> i'm totally available to follow up with walk s.f. we have a pedestrian-specific signal between leo and rushville, i believe is where the library is. but i don't have the fine details on that. in terms of mission and geneva, there was an issue there with a shelter, and my understanding, that was a personal safety issue, and that was the shelter was switched out quickly after a community forum in which there was a shooting in the area. and so -- with this project actually we are looking to extend, or widen that sidewalk area so there will be more opportunities for passenger waiting areas. >> jump here. the shelter is an issue that came up over the course of the planning of the project. that's right, a serious crime issue that popped up at that location

i definitely take what s.f. heritage has to say very seriously about candidates when they come before us. but i have to say, during this hearing, i was very impressed with both candidates. and after listening to the city attorney givener, in terming what would make someone qualified, i was satisfied by what i heard from the candidates, the work that they have done, what they have demonstrated from their experience. and i do feel that it also matches with the intent of -- what the commission is for. so going out along with my colleague, supervisor mar, i think we should move these candidates forward and make an amendment for items 4 and 5 to remove rejecting and replacing it with approving of candidates for the mayor's nomination of the appointment of chris foley and the appointment of lydia sow to the historic preservation commission. >> supervisor ronen: so i -- to make things easy, we'll withdraw my motion. i am going to vote "no" on your motion -- well, on your motion, supervisor walton, not because i necessa

there's been a lack of communication with the state and s.f. f.d. that maybe because the new administration. i'm not here to be critical of the state fire marshal, but there has been some disconnect. what we have done recently over the past couple of weeks is we have reached out numerous times with phone calls, trying to set up a meeting with the state fire marshal to discuss this very matter. what we would like to do is understand the rationale. what are the concerns? if you look and read through the code, there's quite often exceptions to exceptions to exceptions in the code. what i would like to know, from the fire department's perspective, what are the concerns, is it truly aerial access, is it increased fire load, is it delayed egress, what is it? and then maybe we can talk about a carveout for limited exceptions or something, and we were hoping to have that conversation, and that is what we are trying to do right now. over two week period, we got a phone call yesterday from the state fire marshal's assistant. i asked to the assistant, do you h
