another initiative of the s.f. p.u.c., is we've established an equity project, really focused at ensuring that the program and any services we provide sort of related to clean power s.f. prioritizes equity in its outreach and its design. that is something that is ongoing now, and we're going to be gathering some information from the community to really try to inform that work that i mentioned ementioned earlier on programs. it relates to who is aware of the super green opportunity and who is taking advantage of it, too. >> chairwoman: great. and also our use of non-english newspapers, that type of thing, i think is really great. okay. thank you very much. so, mr. merckelson, maybe on legislation that is pending at our state level. thank you, mr. heims. >> name is susanne merckelson, and i'm happy to be with you today. we're currently at legislative summer break. that means that all bills must have passed, at the policy committees, in their second house. we've seen some movement on a few of the bills that we've been watch

so just to kind of reiterate where i've said before, if i were the head of the s.f. p.u.c., and the power enterprise, that is the plan i would put together because the p.u.c. is an enterprise department that is supposed to focus mainly on a conservative approach and protect rate-payers. so there is nothing wrong with what the s.f. p.u.c. just showed to you. but it shows that. s.f. p.u.c. is not the place where we're going to get a city build-out that will reverse the climate crisis. produced locally and regionly by 2030, which is what it is going to take to overcome the crisis. when ab117 was created, it put the elected body in charge of the program, and that's the clean s.f. board of supervisors. that's where we need a city-wide buildout plan to come from. it is so important that you hire a contractor as soon as you can so we can get that plan planned out so that we don't have to try to put a square peg through a round hole and ask the s.f. p.u.c. to to somethindosomething they're not designed to do. i know i've said that before, but it bears repeating. according to the p

we as the city, including s.f. p.u.c., but external of silos, like clean power s.f., we need to be looking at what we want to get to. [buzzer] >> and how all of the cylinders of the city can work to get there. that will be the same whether it is clean power s.f., whether it is public power. i think it is time to break out from letting one part of the city government to sit on this issue, which has been happening for six, seven, eight years. we need to have this happen at the 30,000-foot view. i'm hoping that the -- [buzzer] >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any other public comment? seeing none, the public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, can you please call item number seven. >> item seven is public comment. >> chairwoman: any members of the public like to make comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, item number eight. >> item eight is future agenda items? >> chairwoman: any future items to note? mr. global. >> i want to bring it to everyone's attention that i am expecting a fairly long agenda

s.f. job story, his or the desk jobs created by the program about 20 staff members have been added to the p.u.c. to support the implementation and operation of the clean power s.f. program. this includes new stuff and power enterprise operating groups, as well as p.u.c. bureaus including accounting, customer service, external affairs, and human resources. we anticipate bringing on an additional nine positions before the year is over, about 27 in total this fiscal year. the upcoming budget year, we will be focused on converting temporary positions, established to support the launch and growth of clean power s.f. program, and to permit -- permanent civil services positions. those are clean power careers. with that, i'm happy to take any questions you might have. thank you. >> commissioners? >> i have a couple of questions. i'm still a bit curious about the people who are opting out. >> yes. >> it is interesting that you characterize it -- maybe it is true that it might be a trust issue, because what first came to my mind is possibly they just don't know that it is cheaper to enrolled with clean p
