aeye approval of the minutes of the 2009 special joint meeting with sfpuc. supervisor mirkarimi: is there any public comment on this particular item? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, entertain a motion by commissioner avalos, seconded by commissioner dufty. so moved without objection. would you please read item number three. >> item number three. report on the status of choice aggregation activities. supervisor mirkarimi: ok. mr. kimball, welcome. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is mike campbell. i'm the director of the sfpuc's clean power s.f. program, often referred to as c.c.a. so today i'm just going to go over what progress we've made in crafting the r.f.p. you should have a new revised r.f.p. draft for your pacts, as well as a summary sheet which describes many of the changes, the notable changes, from what was made public prior to the july 9 meeting. i want to go over a few things in general at a high level here regarding a lot of the additional clarifications that we added based on feedback that was heard at the

that is there is an attempt under way to remove juliet ellis from sfpuc. she has been a champion of local hiring. she is a woman of color. it is a really disturbing development. i know you are the lafco, and the mayor's office is the mayor's office, but i would urge the members to do anything they can to try to make sure we retain ms. ellis on the san francisco public utilities commission. thanks. >> just briefly, it is really a pleasure to see a commission do wonderful work and great things, made up of a body of good people. i just want to thank you all for the work that you do. thank you. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. continue that to the call of the chair. next item please. >> future agenda items. commissioner mirkarimi: colleagues, any future agenda items? commissioner schmeltzer: i do not know it is technically counts, but i'm wondering if we might be able to try and at least tentatively scheduled meetings more than one meeting out. there have been, i think, some scheduling conflict

we are in a monitoring role for the sfpuc. i think a motion to move forward with the sfpuc schedule is appropriate, and that includes the issuance of the r.f.p. supervisor mirkarimi: i don't have anything in oo writing here, so i'm reluctant to put a motion forward until i know what that is accurately and specifically. >> i don't think we need a motion. they have a timeline. they were given direction to issue the new r.f.p. we just wanted to bring it before you before it was issued for comment and review. supervisor mirkarimi: do we have a copy of it, by the way? >> it's in your packet. supervisor mirkarimi: this is the final final as it's going out? that's what i'm asking. >> no, he mentioned there are some additional changes that are going to be made as a result of a meeting that we had earlier this week. supervisor mirkarimi: also, with the changes that you'd like to incorporate, can you get us what a final final looks like? so we can see it? >> i believe so. i'll check with the city attorney if it needs to be fully public,

but we could see an accelerated rise of maybe three or four times that according to,ip sfpuc. instead of half a foot we could see three feet. you know out here at fort point here in san francisco. first of all we don't know what the climate is doing to do, but secondly, the way ice gets dumped into the ocean from the land based - well sea level rises from one, the water gets warmer and inflates because it's density is less and that's well understood and handled by climate models. what's not well handled is the fact that when ice gets shed from green land and antarctica, there's 70 levels that if it all melted would raise sea levels but the problem is it's not like an ice cube where we're shining a lamp on it to watch it drip. it might slip. we're seeing more and more of these failures and we saw part of antarctica, shed off in a few days. somebody was looking at satellite map's and away it went. that caused sea levels to rise. that mechanism is not well represented in models or understood very well. sea level rise by itself is gentle three feet of rise may not do too much but

sfpuc adopted it on may 11. budget and funding. the total project cost estimate is $192 million. certain cost is estimated at $147 million. we are in agreement with the budget analyst recommendations. for corporations. major milestones of the project. we total lies the construction bid last june. we expect it due on august 12. we extended the bid psycho because of the complexity of the projects. we hope we can achieve the award in september and begin in october. in total, this will be about 36 months at a totatotal construct. construction would be finished a bit earlier in october 2013. >> how many proposals have you received so far? >> we have not closed the bid to get, so we do not know. i will be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. let's hear from the budget analyst report >>. >> inadvertently, the commission requested a release of the fund unreserve for construction costs. normally, as the department indicated, construction bids are just around the corner. normally, i would have recommended to continue this item until you get the construction did, however, the depart

key to the whole thing is find somebody in if it's department of public works or any organization sfpuc whom ever and get a liaison and invite them to the meeting. don't just have a complaint session come up with a problem and say, we will work together to solve this problem. here's what we can do. how can you help us? how can we work together. that's the key. organizations love coming to our meetings because it's not a c p complaints we try to keep it positive we work with the agencies and that's the key to it. >> we were going to have volunteers but i don't see them so we are doing it this way. [inaudible]. >> great question. the question posed was how do we engage the young professionals in our community? how do we pass up the time and speak from people who have been engaged in the organizing effort to the younger people coming up. >> we organize block parties where we have bands come that are basically we have parties. and people come out for parties [laughter]. that's the bottom line. we have bbq. they can get a beer at the local corner store. you know. >> we have apartments and co

that's showing up in some observations across the united states and i think you'll see this in the,ip sfpuc, but it's not real real strong. i would say that's kind of a second order effect. you know, if we were living in the gulf states we probably would be worried about the tendency for more tropical storms and we really have not seen that in these models in the eastern pacific but i don't know that they would show that. so, there is more specificity developing as we do more and more work on this. there's more models and you know we've gone from maybe a dozen models to 20 or so, in the fourth assessment and their contributing all of this. it's an interim process and one that which, incremental changes and improvements are being made. >> i think we're going to end it there and i'll thank the panel one more time. thank you, very much. [applause] >> thank you very much. jeff, panelists great job. lanl we are going to have a reception that way, and we encourage you to join us. i just have a couple of comments. we are doing to be having a synopsis of the panels today. those are going to be avai
