in addition to the proposed contract with shell that will be before the board, the sfpuc has also been working on hiring a marketing consultant to start the program, and that process has been ongoing, and i think the timing to select a consultant is within the next few months. they have been working on that as well. one other thing about the timing on the may 10. that date may slip. due to some of the issues that barbara was talking about. i just wanted to be aware of that. we will be in contact with you prior to that to talk about that, but it may. chairperson campos: ms. miller, i am also aware of the fact there is a conference going on may 10, where a number of advocates may not be available at that time? >> that is correct. also part of the process is sfpuc has set monthly meetings with a stake holder group, and that came out at the stakeholder groups, that there is a may 10 conference that many of them will be attending, so that may be another reason for postponement, in addition to the issues that miss hale brought up. and i want to take a minute to talk a bit about the pg&e fili

sfpuc, people and audience, and you, because something like this, the other investor-owned utilities look at it, potentially following suit as well. i want to make a point that barbara made as well, which is the difference in our program with this. we still look forward, and it is a very -- in addition to the bumbled energy, we also have a component to our program that is local generation, local jobs. i don't want anyone to fail to keep sight of -- granted, it is a longer-term goal of ours, not the immediate goal, but it is also a goal, to bring that economy and that economic and aegean -- that economic engine to the city. chairperson campos: thank you, ms. miller, and that is a very significant difference between what they're doing and what we are proposing to do. colleagues, unless you have any questions for puc or lafco staff, which will open it up to the public. any member of the public would like to speak, you have three minutes. >> good afternoon, i represent the san francisco green party and our city. i just wanted to touch on a couple of things staff raised, the main on the p

the project is a joint project spearheaded by the sfpuc and dpw in san francisco. the garden project is working with the sheriff's department. in each case, we are partnering with others, we can make sure that people are aware of it. supervisor kim: it would also be helpful to get the breakdown of the use intern's -- youth interns by zip code and by ethnicity as well. we had an issue where we had students that are dominating that did fairly well in public school. we realized we needed to reach out to students that are not taking the initiative themselves to take advantage of these opportunities. i'm curious how we can be more helpful for the puc in this type of outrage. >> -- out reached. >> we tend to have great student engineers from all over the country because we want to bring in the best and brightest to work for us. on the other hand, on the garden project, we set aside a big chunk of that specifically for the bayview. we do it in different ways to make sure that we can include people. we haven't putting community benefit requirements in our -- we have been p
