programs like our green business program which is a citywide business program and the department of sf puc and other departments in the business program. we work together on urban forestry. puc is with the urban council and agricultural issues and environment issues and they are all part of the agency working group. we have a common goal of providing justice and common goals of providing transportation and increasing the number of the electric vehicles infrastructure for this city. we have lots of room for growth as well in terms of projects where we can work together. our outreach efforts are already partnering with sf puc and other areas and a lot more. for example, for the past few years, our school education program has carried water conservation message to children on behalf of sf puc. we have departments now that reaches people door to door throughout the city, it's an area where we can cooperate and work together and -- taking our green jobs and helps to meet our goals. those are layers where we should cooperate and staff will give a lot more depth to these topics, . there is a lot

this is with puc and department of public health and school district. sf environment was brought in to do the outreach to the students about why drinking swear the so important and why it's good to drink hetch hetchy water from the tapas posed to water bottles. they have been given hetch hetchy water bottles so they can have drinking water at school. last year we were doing workshops to train on the water curriculum and worked with more than 60 teachers so far. here is a picture of teachers going through one of the lesson plans in the curriculum where students pretend to go back in the days of the gold rush where water was limited and they had to do daily activities using a limited amount of water. if you have only a gallon of day how you would use it so students understand how modern plumbing encourages us to use because it's so readily available. we also partner with the sf puc and all three enterprises at the puc and there is toxic program and zero waste program to sponsor the connection. a program with the san francisco unified school district where st

we had a hefty reserve with the mou with the sf puc and that is the bill that actually pays for that work. if you want, we will have enough in riche our reserve in our one-year budget. some lafcos have a policy of what the reserve amount should be at minimum? and in some cases maximum. so we might want to in the future have that discussion, but the mou with the sfpuc will expire at the end of this upcoming fiscal year. so we won't have access to that money necessarily unless there is is an extension of that mou. but we should be planning and preparing ourselvess for it not to happen just to be on the safe side. so if that is at the discretion of this commission if it wants to give back allocated amount that is given to lafco or that the city and county and gives to lafco. under state statute once an estimate has been established the city and county or in this case the city and county of san francisco needs to give the exact same amount it gave in the previous year for the next year. they cannot reduce the lafco itself is the only body to reduce the amount. we have accepted the money

power sf and strongly support supervisor avalos call to table the budget and force the pg&e manipulated mayor and the manipulated b.c. puc to the table to identify the money for all the programs to move forward together and not allowing a corrupt mayor to play us against each other >> next speaker and i'm jackie flynn. i'm here in support of my colleagues for the good solar program i feel it's not just a job placement program the brothers and sisters are here and it compliments our investments you see our businesses delivery and jeanine cotter has done a great effort to employ some of the people out he thought training programs that train folks that result in jobs and it's an environment i think provides education and awareness around our environment and change san francisco for a cleaner sustainable future >> are there any members of the public who wish to speak we're going to close comment after mr. bryant. >> james bryant western recreational director of the institute. ladies and gentlemen, i would really hope that you all would really consider the go solar program is really important as you see it meets a special nee

about our joint and different concerns about infrastructure of the puc and the programs that are basically infrastructure like green power sf that what work together i know that the public utilities commission has greatest needs around the power enterprise just before we approved the clean power sf program two years ago we knew we were looking at a cliff. i've had numerous conversations about the needs of the program. we also have a policy direction that the board of supervisors has indicated with a very strong majority vote that we'll have a clean power program to provide san francisco residents with a choice based on renewable energy that's been taking taken away but to have a program in go place. i think there's ways to accomplish both and that we have to find a way as a city to accomplish both. but right now we we don't have the conversation of proper leadership sending a signal like not approving approving this budget can bring us all to the table to craft a new version that can meet our differences and our joint needs. and so i'm going to do table i move to table see if we can get it done and if the mayor wants to com

we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sfpools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. >> thank you so much, >> hello,

website is that number reflective of most agencies or lower or higher -- sf dot org does that receive more than what we do at puc. >> that's a good question i think our website is slightly above kind of what's considered average for government organizations but certainly our social media outlets are above what are considered normal i think our reach has really expanded and in part the rim fire drove a lot of traffic for people coming to us for our response and water supply in terms of of the social media we're leading the pack. >> that's what i wanted to ask do you think that the rim fire a very unusual incident caused the spike? >> i think it caused a spike. each time these folks come to visit they like us they stay. >> that was my next question. >> we keep them engaged there's always the next campaign whether it be my account people are very interested about conservation now so there's always a value or reason to keep them coming back. >> so are you in charge of this program. >> under tyrone jew is my supervisor [laughter]. >> i'm a little off today. >> because it's an important thing what you are doing and wh

i'm you don't even speaking for the sierra club to the puc budget the essentially e sierra club supports both the go solar program as well as the go sf program we don't support of the rating of the go solar sf taking the funds and distributing everything else that's something the mayor shouldn't be doing the supervisors allocated those fund but we support full funding of go solar sf every year we fight for the funding and the funding is declining you can see the number of solar installs dropping with the program we think are their creative solutions and i know that time is needed to investigate those solutions to keep clean power sf funded by llsz to fund sf. we continue the item to get more information we would support that. so that's where we are it shouldn't be putting one good program after another supervisor breed said. thank you >> next speaker >> hello with bright line defense project there's a longer conversation that needs to be had and rate increases and capital improvements that need to be discussed before this board we're here to emphasize bright life project the local and the luminal and the industrial speakers are here
