and now the record is before the california puc to make their decision. and this is in the context of a filing that will be presented to the commission by their energy division staff as well. it wouldn't naturally go into a hearing mode unless the commission directs it to. >>> then the other item i wanted to make sure you were aware of was the green turf option filing that pg&e made. they made that filing last year, and now they have filed a motion for settlement asking the california puc to approve a revised program. we will provide you with written summary of that modified request and have an opportunity then to talk with you about it at our next commission meeting. the basics of it are pg&e has, in our view, improved the program. you know, we are on record as supporting green tariff options. we have said that to the california public utilities commission, but we are concerned with the details of the program that pg&e has now presented in the settlement form. we are concerned about the cost-shifting that may occur between pg&e's existing programs and thi

there is a proposal before the california puc with a formula. and i guess what i'm trying to do, and what you may not be able to give me is on the green line ~ where it says that our lowest rate is 5.45. >> ~ >> um-hm. >> what do we think the pg&e equivalent would be of that? >> i think about $6. >> a 2-1/2 dollar difference from what we know today? >> if we had an 11.14 cent rate, it would be lower than pg&e's green rate, the one they described in the recent news article. >> you're saying scenario 3 would be cheaper you think than pg&e? >> than pg&e's current estimate in the press. >> of their green rate proposed before the california puc. >> this is no incremental buildout, is that in 4-1/2 years? >> there would be no additional revenues in that jar yo to support the buildout. we would have to do that some other way. >> a bond issuance? >> yeah, bond issuance, relying on the market, using the $6 million we have to leverage market resources, third-party investments. before we could issue bonds. >> on the bond issuance question, the last line --

and which is proposed to the california puc. it's about 11.5 cents. >> i thought there was an estimate of what that was going and a rule of not to exceed on that? the 11.5 is the latest you found? >> that's the latest we've seen in the press. >> the puc is going to make that determination when? >> basically optimistically it would be about 5-8 months but could be longer than that depending on how they treat any protest and depending on how long it would take the process the final letter rate. >> commissioner mar? >> i just wanted to ask the 11.14 to 14.57 cents per kilowatt hour how much is a regular charge. how much would it cost per month for residential user. >> good question. that's shown in the next slide where we present four different rate making scenarios. the first one is the base case which is the one discussed i think prior to this week where you have the higher rate and no funds for build out but you have a very resource mix from the shell contract that purchases a lot of shaped and firm product which is called bucket

at the california puc, we are actively engage on that setting on the proceeding that they are conducting on pg and e's proposed green tariff omtion, they proposed a 100% green power product. that product is proposed to use green e energy certificates, it's anticipated to enroll 30 thousand residential accounts, which is about .68% of eligible customers, and they are proposing this program to serve all of the customers across their service territory. they expect to reach that 30 thousand enrollment by the end of the third year of the program, and just by way of comparison, we're talking about enrolling in our clean power sf program 50 to 90 thousand residential accounts day 1, you know, and that's in part because our program is an opt-out program, the green tariff option program pg and e is proposing is an opt-in pro program so it's projected that the differences that i communicated to you are pretty fair to assume given that that key difference in the enrollment strategies. pg and estimating is estimating their price premium to be about 6 dollars a month if r the average residential cust

i look at this and i see abject failure. >> what the executive director of the puc disagrees. >> we're safe for now in california. because san bruno happened. we're safer now because of the regular u ala tory changes of the puc. >> he ordered the controversial report to candidly identify what needs to be fixed inside the puc. >> turning a system that's 100 years old. that's what we're doing here, it's an immense task, it's not going to happen overnight. >> it will take another two and a half years to get the puc's culture to focus on safety. an answer and a prediction that did not sit well with lawmakers. >> i candidly come to the point where i believe it is time for us to have significant change in the leadership of the public utilities commission if we're going to absolutely get the change and safety culture that's necessary in california. >> really think about who should be leading this organization. and if the current people and the current leadership that you have and yourself are appropriate to now be able to take these findings and move forward so that the people of california are safe. >> and that pressu

as an administrative law judge, that would be -- the soonest there would be a decision would be three months, i'm guessing because the puc, the california puc's own procedural requirements can be much longer. >> so, can you present to us the next step, hopefully before our last meeting, a scenario that is going to assume a $6 rate for pg&e and where we can be in striking distance? i think that -- hate to even say it, a local buildout is such a priority that i think the rec -- the bundling piece should probably be a lesser of a priority. but i would want to see, you know, a plan from when we could increase the quality of the rec mix of the bundling. >> the rec mix. >> and that is required by state law. we'll be increasing it over the coming years whether we want to or not. >> right. i think that's right, and i also think the value add you get from getting the local buildout going and the money generated and jobs generated really outweigh a lot of this. that should be our focus as long as we can still make the price competitive. >> okay. >> so, maybe what we can do next time is come back with maybe five different recommendations, and wher

we also ask that if the california puc is inclined to consider their filing, that the matter should be set for hearing so that we can understand what their approach is going to be and so that we can make sure that we're comfortable and in compliance with state law and requirements. and then the second item -- yes. >> just to understand that, that is for them to be able to set up a separate marketing to work on cca issues, if you will, or to oppose? >> to oppose. >> oppose. >> yes. >> they don't want to take a position on whether they would do that or not?

involvement could be a violation, and so to the extent that, you know, we have legal protections that have been put in place by the puc and the state of california, we need to make sure we avail ourselves of those. >> well, i will check with the city attorney's office and i know the sfpuc will be interested in following up on that as well. >> and again, i don't have no reason to believe there's any involvement but i believe we have an obligation to verify that. >> and jason fried, lafco staff, one thing we did the last time when there was the common sense san francisco which was pg and e using a different name at the time they were allowed to do this kind of stuff, we worked with the puc and the lafco staff put out a spreadsheet, it doesn't cost any money because i think a lot of the supervisors in their news letters put links to this information, so we have facebook, we have e-mail list, we have a lot of ways we can get has information out that won't necessarily cost any money right now is we're not spending the money we need for later on but we can still get that information out there, so what is reality of the program and using some of the th

to absolutely get the change in safety culture that is necessary in california. >> reporter: and that pressure follows a move by senator hill asking brown to fire the president of the puc. >> will you step down should mr. peavey step down? >> i report to the commissioners. it is up to them to decide. i can tell you every day that i am executive director i am going to keep pushing for safety culture change at the public utilities commission. >> leadership stresses that the report is not an evaluation of objective truth. lawmakers counter it is those views that may identify the problem. what is governor brown's position on the growing controversy? we can't tell you. his office refuses to return our calls and refusing to address calls for change at the puc. >>> cal trans says it questioned the work of companies who made those problematic safety bolts for the eastern span of the bay bridge. in march 1/3 of those bolts failed. hundreds of pages of documents showed inspectors found structural integrity issues several years ago. before they were installed they found these problems. the documents indicate cal trans ordered more tests on the bolts in 2008. and that the manufact

the puc a workshop on some of this? >> so on april tenth and 11th the california public utility commission the cpuc is holding a workshop about the regulations that relate to the services we're talking about new online enabled transportation services. they said it would be a 6 months process these workshops on april 10 and 11th will be 930 a.m. each of those mornings on 505 van ness probably go until 430 p.m. is what we're told there should be an agenda coming out about this workshop in the last week of march is what we're told and also told that the public is welcome and that people will have an opportunity to speak so i'd encourage anybody in san francisco who has an interest about the new online enabled transportation services to consider participating in this process the main questions of the discussion are these 3 questions that they initial ly put out a large list of 20 something questions but they have said publicly they will be focusing on 3. should these providers be regulated as taxis? and if so why. or should they be regulated as a third category. and to remind everyone in california taxi service is regulated
