freed if we lived talk about what are the non-cca projects and in 2015-2016 we anticipate them getting launched they've been step up to the plate e spending the time it depreciates shifted back to two projects we have inform supervisor tang brought us a project looking at the underground facilities there's a project that came to us from supervisor wiener's office to the board of supervisors to look at the elections and those are the two official ones there's other supervisors that talked about other projects we have not come to those conclusions whether to do additional project. >> supervisor tang. >> just adding on given this is specifically just a general fund allocation i do know you mention two projects outside of cc organization, however, i guess my question is we are under the understanding that first and foremost our work is with cca, however, this general fund allocation it quite significant and so in terms of how you prioritize our work and again, we do know that one of the main components is cca but giving the large projects i want to better understand how it is that you all

is there a certain percentage or maximum that the cca is eligible for? >> the application would take a look at how many customers cleanpowersf has and take the total number of customers collected and that will determine the correct number per transfer. >> i see, thank you. >>supervisor john avalos: i'm hearing it's difficult to hear in the back. can you speak closer to the microphone. >> is that better? i will try to speak louder. during some of the earlier studies, the question was how to approach commercial and industrial customers. one of the interesting aspects there were commercial and industrial customers that approached sf lafco and sf puc and they were interested in joining the program. the actual cca law legislation requires that the cca offer service to residential customers, but it does not require that you offer service to the commercial and industrial customers. so for a variety of reasons we highly recommend that cleanpowersf does work with industrial customers and giving them every opportunity to join the program, in part because per end po

get them more of what they might get if we go into the system rather than an actual contracted with the cca program and also when is pg & e's generate when do they on average tend to increase or decrease because they tend to have higher and lower prices because of some premiums and in the winter time a little bit cheaper and we maybe lining up with increases with potentially coming in place and finally reviewing the staffing needs with the puc to make sure we have everything in place. we are missing a cca director and that needs to go quickly and if puc was having any issues they can say something and every board would be yelling at every department to make it go quicker because we want to get that person on staff. i already mentioned the rates and build-out. we can do in a two phase process and figure out the price and figure out how much is left and that determines what type of build-out we do. that is three different options. the enernex report list a bunch of products. we are not building everything on day one. not all 9,000 jobs are occurring on day one. you pick the most competitive c

the county of alameda did allocate $1.3 million in their first trench of money to get started in the cca path up to $3 million. i don't think it's necessary but that's what they have done. at the same time the county of san mateo will be bringing this matter before their board of supervisors at the end of february with a potential of funding request to get started on their technical study. napa county, the unincorporated county have joined marin program and contra costa county have also joined marin and every part of the bay area is engaged in the conversation and we are delighted to have san francisco back in the conversation. top line results. mc; launched in october 10th, the city of lancaster the first city to launch in sce will launch in may with a 35 percent renewable standard as their default light green product. in marin and sonoma both are currently saving residents money 5-8 percent less. residential rates tend to be a little bit more on par and competitive, commercially that's how we are seeing the greater delta in terms of rate savings in both marin and sonoma. with an averag

. >> if we move forward with the cca, then it makes sense to have the solar component because those are our customers . we do like hunters point phase 1 and 2, those are customers as we look at programs to reach out to those that makes sense. the challenge is that the go solar that we offer to non puc customers is something that the mayor wanted us to figure out a way to help fund that. if we can't use our hetchy money so i think each one will have a component. we just need to figure out what is the appropriate funding for it. >> was the goal to fund solar projects in non hetchy customers or just to fund solar projects somewhere? >> i think the ultimate goal is to maximize solar installation but it depends on where and the funding we have to figure that out. >> you know where my interest is on that. if, you know, access to go solar can be a benefit of doing business with san francisco as your power supplier, that would seem to be a good thing. the last question i have i think has been answered it was the report on the sewer inspection and replacement program looks like we were behind go

great it's a lot to carry the business plan piece plus all of the commercial customers all the details of cca and how it relates to revenue and programatically and the rates and the policy conversation with the board so if there's a way to kind of consolidate that and understand that and i don't know if it's via a timeline or -- >> i think the challenge is that we're doing the business plan. >> right. >> and we've been talking about how cca can play a role in that and so we're going to plan on you know unveiling that when we talk about the business plan as we talk about the line of business cca we'll talk about you know how we phase it in because that goes to the risk and talk about what is the mix that that we're recommending because with the additional head room that you have on the initial offering what we want to do -- do we want to make it more greener if possible or do you want to focus on local build out? there's discussions to be had on that and if we had a second offering the opt in of a darker green we need to talk about that and what is that price what is the mix and how many proje

in terms of the cca program director position, i know it hasn't been posted. i want to thank vice-chair crews for asking about that. what is the timing of when you think you will have someone hired? now, that's very difficult to predict. so, the physician right now is going through the requisition approval process. typically once we have an approved requisition, we then go, we then publish the position as it's been approved and begin recruitment. and the recruitment process will stay open until we have a sufficient number of applicants to begin an interview process. this is a high priority for myself and the general manager. we talk about our need to get this position staffed. it is a leadership position. much of the work that is described here in the timeline is performed boo i other staff. so we can continue to make progress, absent the leadership position, of course it's much preferred to have a leadership position filled having said that, but i do want to assure you that we will make progress regardless of the vacancy that we have in the leadership position

activities on the other hand they don't minimal we determine is it billed to the cca or the lap co-fund the mou with the puc is scheduled to end at the current fiscal year a joint meeting between lap co-and the puc where that item is on the agenda to continue to get access about when i made age original request the time the meeting was not scheduled so until i actually get that commitment we have to platoon that is not occurring after friday i'll look at the budget and we may came back come back and say we don't need it or lower it one of the things to keep in mind lap co-is doing requests on another thing from the board of supervisors for other studies to insure we have enough in the funding inform may pay for my staff time or audits consultants should it be required the two groups we're paying the staff time like the underground of the fiber network and on the on source protection system we've not been doing the works we're going into the remainder of the fiscal year and then we also have a new policy at lap co-to make sure we'll have a large reserve account we have gotten

proper light and air and wanted to create a public space that links the neighborhood to the use at hooper and cca and take the public spaces and link them to the network of spaces in mission bay the green spades there so we introduce what we call the alley which makes that linkage and then think of hooper and alley alleyway as pedestrian spaces bicycle and pedestrian friendly and move all the loading and trucks and box trucks to the reestablishment channels a nice use of friendly pedestrian and that kind of more loading were added uses then we make linkages through the block to make sure there's pedestrian assess to the larger block and worked with staff at planning to reduce the massing of the building and articulate the openings of the mask of the building the result is kind of a workhorse of american people industrial building you you can see it butts on the sprayer pdr outdoors on the ground floor and they were quite high their 18 foot 3 high they on up around the building to activate the space and looking at the plaza you're looking at could be a pdr use that has food service like side class

the aclu of george?ia? >> yes, i am. cca takes the matter of religious freedom very seriously and we believe it's a fundamental right. every time an allegation is brought up, or a complaint regarding a specific detainee and their access to religious services or religious articles, it's taken very seriously. almost in every example it's brought to the level of a corporate level person, such as myself, to ensure that the matter is looked into and rectified if it is found to be substantiated. i cannot speak to any specific matter except to say that all religions are respected and access to all religious articles, services, celebrations are complied with and staff very much enjoy participating in making sure that those services are provided. in respect to say, the muslim space, we fully comply with all the standards surrounding weekly services like juma and annual events like ramadan services the food service things we have to do to comply with those. those are all fully familiar to our staff in all of our facilities, regardless

the children's cancer association. $296.55. wester bell's parents say cca helped ella during a two-after-a-half year fight with cancer. >> speaks of what ella did for us, and she certainly knew it. her relationship with her chemo pal was one of her most important things through the whole course of her illness. >> wow. well ella and her ch,mo pal, kim, spent countless hours together through not only chemotherapy, but a bone transplant as well. ella's parents say donating money to the cca is a great way to help an organization doing important work. >> what a story. >>> coming up next in our 5:00 hour, we have new information about an ant i don't care teenager accused of raping a pizza delivery woman. what he had on him when he was arrested to suggest he may have a criminal past. >> and could you take a tech time-out? how hundreds at a bay area high school are taking on a nationwide challenge to unplug for the next three days. >> good morning on the bay bridge commute. we're looking at the san ma day owe bridge. that traffic looks good. we'll tell you more abo

the last nine of which i have worked for cca. i'd like to start by thanking the commission for providing me the opportunity to share with you cca's steadfast commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of all individuals entrusted to our care. nothing is more important to our company than the safety and welfare of those entrusted to our care. it is responsible we take very seriously. reflect a thoughtful commitment on a day-to-day and hour to hour basis in our facilities. these efforts are carried out in consultation with our government partners who also provide strong and direct oversight. uh i'll talk first about pria. cca has established a zero tolerance policy against all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment. to enforce that policy we have adopted an aggressive plan to prevent, detect and respond to all allegations. our plan entails a focus on the preventions of incidents a focus on not just meeting, but exceeding our contractual requirements and a focus on continued improvement of our policies and practices. in the

tim malcolm, the director, cca director who just resigned, by the way, to speed things up, the first thing we should do is hire her back and that will save time than to go on a new search for a new candidate because she was doing a great job and one of the things she was showing that pg & e's projected rate was 12 cents a kilowatt hour and at that time even under the shell contract she was showing how we can get 9 cents per hour and it was hundred percent green to all resident. now we are talking about a split rule, light and green. what was whas in sonoma is something that can be developed later. the if sf puc rate could have set the rate not to exceed today. what i'm going to call on the commission is to set the not to exceed rate at the next meeting at the pg & e rate and after that then we develop the program. we need to set the rate immediately. >> public speaker: thank you. my name is rebecca evans. i would like to thank you all for this. i'm not an energy expert. i have been a san franciscan for almost 50 years and over 10 of those years i have watched this process. i hope you

. >> since 9/11 the revenues have doubled to over $1 billion a year for the country's two largest private prison companies, cca or the corrections corporation of america and geo. the vast majority of the people held in detection centers. >> keeping us safe from foreign terrorism. it makes no sense but it's making a lot of money for a lot of people. >> this looks like a florida retirement home. but behind the pink walls and palm trees is a detention center. this is the broward detention center. they were anxious to show it to us, it was one of their nicest facilities. >> broward is one of 250 detention facilities contracted by immigrations and being cch it's to facilitate the removal from the united states of people when they're ordered removed. >> immigration detention has a dark history. hundreds of cases of physical and sexual abuse have been documented. from 2003, to 2009, over 100 people died in ice custody. the obama administration announced they would reform the system. among ice officials, broward is held up as a model of that reform. >> what you'll see in broward as compared to certainly a county jail

we go into the budget conversation, so we will have cost of service study and the power as relates to that. as relates to cca we will build into that cost of service assumption some general assumption of what those revenues would be, but the cost of service work that we would do for the power enterprise wouldn't be to per se set rates for cca, we would be doing that throughout the rest of this year as a separate track. >> so just to understand the context of these two items, they are required by the charter. you can always revisit your financial plan, your capital plan, at any time you want and adopt it, but this is required by the charter for us to submit actually adopted and for the capital plan is goes into the capital planning process for the city overall. so while it doesn't have all the nuts and bolts and things you are thinking about or contemplating or business plan there, you can always come back to it. but we have to adopt it each and every year and this is the time of year that we actually adopt it. >> i have another question on something that's not in there but i didn't see anyway, this mountain

half a million dollars a year is what eloy arizona is making for just shuffling the paper work to cca. >> okay. gee, i'm glad we found that out. >> and pope county is a similar agreement. pope county has the inner governmental service agreement. >> private contractor. >> subcontracts it with a company called community education centers which is not what you might think it is. it's actually a private prison corporation. >> it's a short it's cut for the rft process essentially. >> exactly. shortcut for rfp. it also gets the government around environmental and other competitive bidding process. >> i really want to rush through these because i have some more questions. >> i have some too. >> i know. that's why i'm rushing. >> can i just throw one piece of information there. you are asked the question about lawsuits. you can imagine when you just heard how convoluted this contracting goes, the difficulty of identifying a defendant and holding a defendant liable. >> well, not only that there are two very bad supreme court decisions on the books limiting the scope of the liability for consti

the project to see if we had questions i appreciate all the statistics asia it is great to hear from you. >> commissioner moore. >> i do believe it cca is the great retransaction builder and as we look at the future we need to look at mutually inspired areas that have's still a few rough edges the critical mass of 24 architect and students spend a lot of time not getting paid i think that is all positive and makes this particular project more attractive. >> thank you commissioners, if there's nothing further there's a is there a motion and a second with conditions and authorize their office development allocation on that motion. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis excuse me. commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 5 to zero. >> commissioners that places you are under our discretionary review. >> there is a second part of the motion the allocation for the project under 10 b we didn't call the two together. >> we called them together. >> we did. >> and i thought i as i read in the motion i included the office others. >>
