and dpw. >> commissioner johnson: so sf-puc and dpw are the reason we're rezoning rm1? >> well, the property owner needs access to their land and this seems to be the most feasible option. >> what about a swap of the current parcel well the puc parcel? i'm not trying to redo the settlement, but were things like that considered? >> many options were considered. it's the puc parcel. they must get maximum value. they cannot split a parcel and have a portion that's basically useless on the market. from the puc's perspective, if they're going to sell a surplus asset, they're going to sell it at the highest value, which includes the dpw parcel being thrown in at the same time. when you have a larger parcel thrown together, it's a higher value. >> commissioner johnson: okay. i'm glad we got that clear. i think the piece that was missing for me is the reason that we cannot provide the easement, so i got it. >> and i should clarify, the reason why it's going to rezone technically, it's standard practice that the unzoned would take -- so it would transfer the property to the plai

this ordinance and ask that the board grant authority to the puc, general manager, to help most effectively and rapidly to move clean power sf forward, and we need to complete citywide enrollments and transition san francisco to a 100% clean energy feature. this ordinance will help the puc best acquire the needed energy supply. what jed mentioned, so many community choice programs launching in the bay area, the puc needs to be able to quickly procure energy as the market will soon be saturated with other people also wanting to purchase, and with this authorization, the puc can more competitively thrive and strategically negotiate the best business terms. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you, chair. my name is adam skow. i'm a resident. strongly in support of today's residence. we're seeing the climate change wreak havoc. we need san francisco to lead by example. this is a big important step toward that. thank you. >> thank you for your time. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. eric brooks. i'm here for san francisco green party and the local grass roots our city and on behalf of the statewide coalition that's

it's account holders, utility accounts currently being served by sf puc hydro power system. the next face of the enrollment will happen in july. our colleagues at the puc have been busy procuring resource to get to the 50% by 2020 goal and so that we can enroll the entire city. when we contract for renewable energy resources, that means that were not only looking at how do we supply clean power sf green product but also clean power sf green which is 100% renewable energy product. in fact, today the board of superviso supervisors authorized the general manager of the puc to enter with 10 developers and it's been an undertaking for our colleagues starting last summer where they issued an rfo to find developers who would be able to build under a certain time line enough renewable energy capacity, some with energy storage, some without to be able to serve the needs of residents and businesses in san francisco. our colleagues will be signing likely five to six contracts in the next month with developers. and enroll the rest of the city between now and 2019. that's all i have on t

>> the sf-puc parcel -- correct. it was zoned public, but i believe 20 years ago it was determined by the sf-puc not to use that land for whatever public purpose they had for it before. >> commissioner johnson: okay. i'm still -- i feel like -- and that's the analysis of the only options. i know in the case report, it sort of says that the staff looked at how else to achieve the goals of the settlement and one was to -- can you explain those again? it was unclear to me why there was a couple of options and you said it was unfeasible. if you can go through those options again. >> absolutely. the first option looked at was installing an extension of the staircase or the public sidewalk along copper alley to connect burnett avenue to greystone terrace. unfortunately again, the slope of the lot

happen to know any members of the board of supervisors getting the approval of the authority to the sf puc, i know that the monetary value might be higher than usual, but it's in line with other cca programs that don't have to get the authority from boards like this and it's the only way that the pra fram could move at business pace and make -- from program could move at business pace and make progress. >> thank you very much. >> eric brooks, our city and san francisco green party and californians for energy choice i think i might have mentioned this in a previous hearing, but in january, legislation is going to come forward again in sacramento to privatize and regionalize the california electricity grid. right now the california electricity grid is run by the cal iso which is a california nonprofit. as soon as it becomes regionalized, bircher hathaway which is a coal energy corporation will be the biggest gorilla in that room and will -- get control over that. it will bring cheap coal in and compete with community choice a moong other among other things. even worse because it's a we jonl
