Transcripts For SFGTV Public Utilities Commission 92215 20151004

Quorum. Er before you head the minutes of september 9, 2015, any addition or corrections . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on the minutes of september 9th . May i have a motion . So moved. Second. All those in favor . Aye. Opposed . The motion carries. Item 4, at this point, we ask for Public Comment and i do have a speaker card from mr. Decosta. Commissioners, some years ago, when we had as our chair, Ambassador Richard s cl aw, a man of great wisdom who understood really what needs to be done in our city and county of San Francisco, so i took upon myself at that time to invite the first people into these chambers to talk to some of you all. Maybe one of yall will remember that occasion. After [inaudible] and he was very happy to meet them. About a little over 250 years ago when jefferson sent lewis and clark here to west coast, we have records for those who can read and for those who have access to the records as to how pristine california was , with this recent drought and with Empirical Data as to the particulates and the increase in the depletion of our ozone level, we need to represent the people, and we need to conserve our resources, so we know and i hope we know that for thousands of years, the regional people who lived here who called this place total island preserved the resources. And then in the last 250 years, we created this concrete jungle and we have to live with it. And this commission, the San Francisco Public Utilities commission is duty bound to preserve our resources and you are uniquely duty bound because you have jurisdiction over large areas where the city of county of San Francisco because at one time, we not only had jurisdiction over San Francisco but as far as palo alto, and i know some of you commissioners who in their day and age know about this and i hope the other commissioners are given an orientation about it, so in short, we are duty bound to look after our resources. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other speakers today . Seeing none, ill move to item 5, communications. Any comments . Yes . Just one comment, i notice in the waste water Enterprise Capital Program Quarterly report that the trouble bottom line analysis was included as promised and i appreciate that, thats helpful and i think that adds to our transparency as far as what our decisionmaking process is, so thank you. Yes, vicepresident . I have a question also on the waste water report and i mean, just to get a better understanding at some point and maybe its not now an update on where we are financially because i know we have our big cross town tunnel no, whats it called . Central bay side. Central bay side tunnel, i want to get a better understanding of where that is in the queue and what that conversation lies because i know nas a big financial component and also in the overview of i dont know where we are with our entire budget, Green Infrastructure piece of it and that project are the ones im most interested in and a high level conversation as well as like Digging Deeper on some of those issues. So, we can come back and give you an overview, but just to point out, the 2. 7 billion dollars which is phase i, the central bay side construction isnt part of that, and so we are planning to come back once we determine what we would recommend as the size of the tunnel and what type of Green Infrastructures could accompany the tunnel, so were going to come up with a combination of green and gray for that process, but were looking at the whole program and see where we are and come back and let you know where we are from a budget and a skaoejbacker schedule standpoint. Bh will that be . Bh will that be . Sometime in october well get an idea of when well be ready to have all the information so we can present to the commission. That would be great because i know theres been some number that is have been put out there over the year, 6 billion, 7 billion and sort of we have our 2. 7 thats been approved but just to start honing in on what were talking about and kind of whats been spent, what we have left in the pipeline, what the priorities are that are emerging, all of that. Yes, and i know theres been a lot of folks talking about where we are in as far as the budget and comparing other projects and other cities of what the cost would be, so were going to come back and tell you where we are and talk about other similar projects that happen in the nation and so were going to put that in perspective for you when we come back in october. Thank you. On the same topic, and perhaps todays not the day, maybe at the next meeting, i would like comments on the projects that are running late as noted in the report. And i also had another question on i wanted to ask, how does a bile retention planters work . Today were [inaudible] of the sources improvement pra p program, today we have built it along caesar sma vez and we monitored probably out five out of the 15 that were built and they performed well above what we thought in terms of promising and i can get you the exact numbers. We had the San Francisco Estuary Institute assist us with the monitoring and they wrote up a report for us, so we do have that data and i can get that in the correspondence. Typically in a storm event, the water goes into the bile swell and abing hull keeps it oup of the sewer system, the peak, so the Treatment Plant has the ability to treat, you know, the storm event, and so and hopefully it will detain it and then it will seep into the ground, and so that is sort of the way that theyre built, so we measure performance and those events, its performing well, but one of the things that we are looking into is that the storm events are varying, theyre more intense for a shorter period of time and the other thing is it hasnt been a longbacker lot of rain events to measure the performance on a long going effort, so these are some of the channeling but well definitely provide that as part of the update of what you get in october. Okay, thank you. Lets see, other Commission Business . Next report is the general manager. Well, the first update i would like to give is our cca update, barbara hill and as part of that, were going to have an outreach update on cca a and thats going to be given by tyrone ju. Good afternoon f, commissioner, barbara hale, assistant manager for power. Im here to present the beginning of the story we have to tell today. Were going to cover a number of topics. And i think the most exciting part will be what thai presents at the end, the outreach and enrollment portion of our presentation. The and to give some context for that, i just want to do a couple of reminders on the supervisor approval of the contracts that provide supply. Its also assumed that we would perform a Risk Assessment that was largely at the urging of commissioner moran, and today i have to report that looking at the very good supply options that weve been presented with which ill dig into a little bit deeper as this presentation goes on, its clear to us that some of our supply options that are most Cost Effective are going to involve us making commitments over the 10 Million Dollar threshold, so it will require a board of supervisor approval. So, as ive been presenting the schedule, that assumption i think we need to set aside because i think we will need to go to the board of board supervisors of at least some of the supply contracts that were likely to present to you. In addition, that Risk Assessment and the rigor were trying to apply around that Risk Assessment has really grown from being a Risk Assessment into a full Business Plan for the Community Choice aggregation program, so we are preparing a clean power assessed Business Plan that will integrate with the Business Plan that weve already presented to you. Were going to in order to meet the rigor that i think youre looking for and in light of the fact that we now are we now have bond holders and indenture to stay true to, were going to have that Business Plan third party reviewed, so thats going to take a little bit more time than we had initially pants panted. We had at the last Commission Meeting reported we thought we would bring that Business Plan to you on october 13th, now were going to work with the general manager and we advise our schedule and come back to you next week with a new schedule. I want to emphasize that what were talking about here is a matter of weeks, not months, and i want to emphasize that were committed to Swift Movement but also to Smart Movement in implementing our cleanpowersf program, so we think on balance, its smart for us to come back to you with a revised schedule. We also recently received more information about pg es planned rates for 2016. They are forecasting rate changes that will affect our Business Analysis and we need to factor that in as well. So, those are some things that have changed since we put together the original schedule and so well be coming back to you with a new schedule, i expect the Business Analysis, the approval of contracts, the setting of rates, those were all activities that we had scheduled for october and early november to shift a matter of weeks. Yes, commissioner . Can i ask you a question about so, the Business Analysis, thats just for cca, thats not and the Business Plan overall that weve been talking about, i imagine that might impact that as well, and will we be able to see that at the same time . Yes, what were proposing is a Business Case presentation for the xlaoen power assessed program that factors in and acknowledges some of the same information that weve presented to you for our overall Business Plan for the power enterprise, with cleanpowersf having been presented in that context as one of the program options, right, and now were going to dig algt deeper in this Business Plan into what the financial requirements and the risk profile is of that Program Within power enterprise. Because i think theyre connected. Absolutely. One of the three goals, their goal of job creation which is what were really driving towards, we also have some other issues at the puc and the business, you know, in the Entity Program and hatch were hoping cca can help with, i dont know where we are with our overall Business Plan but it would be great to at the same time or one after the other have an understanding of how they are connected. Well, they are connected in a way that well, first of all, there are two separate lines of business and thats the way were looking at it when we, you know, got was able to do the bonding for the Capital Projects as a separate line of business, so the connection that we made was that we would sell hetchy power possible sales to cca, but we want to make sure that its affordable, so with we go after these contract and is were seeing prices that are really affordable, we want to take a look at, well, how much would we be able to sell hetchy power for versus going out in the market and get renewables because we want the head room as large as possible so we can do Rate Stabilization because i think the number one thing is we got to make sure we keep our customers and not just go out there and do a buildout, we got to make sure we have investments to keep our customers and then we want to do buildout, so we really got to kind of know and thats why were taking time to see, one, the rates and get the best rate possible so that we can get the red room, the other thing that we have to look at is pg e is now decreased their generation cost to their customers so of course we said were going the match that, so therefore, we have to reduce the cost of our generation which will eat up into our head room as well, and so thats why were taking a pause because this will impact the Business Plan and the Business Plan talks about buildout, it talks about what to mix that we use from hetchy versus these different options that well go over later. It will talk about the risk of financing, you know, what type of rigor we need to do so that we can minimize the risk of financing and getting a bond rating, so all this will be included in the Business Plan. The cca Business Plan. The cca Business Plan, theyre tied together because the power enterprise is tied because its looking as one of the options of selling the power to cca. Right. Its not cca. I understand, and im just wondering when that other larger Business Plan of some of these hetchy issues that weve been struggling with and the fiscal cliff and all of that, when were going to get that because it seems this is a component of that, that we want to be looking at. Yes, and i would offer, commissioner, the two workshops we did on the Business Plan for power enterprise which acknowledged the cleanpowersf program but didnt dive into the financial obligations there tremendously, this next Business Plan will, that presentation, those two presentations were explained our strategies for moving forward and part of the implementation, and your next opportunity to influence how we go about making those changes within our organization is in our budget. So, the budget workshops will be the next opportunity for you to see, you know, so we had a Business Plan, how are we moving forward with that, how is that integrating and the point i made about needing to make sure that the cleanpowersf program and as we implement it is staying true to our indenture statements is also part of that because we need to structure we need to figure out clearly how we want to best structure cleanpowersf within our budget, so youll see implementation opportunities and opportunities to influence are Going Forward steps there the budget workshops well be holding as well. Okay, i just dont want to be stuck making a budget decision without plenty of advance review of those, it sounds like cca, its not that far off, but also our general Business Plan as well and whether theyre connected or separate feels like theres implications. Yes, and were taking the two workshops that we presented our Business Plan on, were turning that into a narrative document, were trying to make sure its not so long that no one reads it, but well bring that to you once weve had a chance to review it in final form with the general manager, so youll see that again soon as well. The presentation we made was pretty thorough, so if more information is needed, then maybe we should talk about it because what we plan on doing is what we covered is pretty much explained in the Business Plan. The Business Plan has a lot of levers that were evaluating, i think one of the things that we are making some progress is on the Interconnection Agreement with pg e, so i mean, depending on what that outcome, it could trigger a whole bunch of other decisions that we have to make, so you know, so we will hopefully get a document that is thorough enough but not just overwhelming, so that people make sure that people are able to read it and digest it. That would be great, something thats current with the cca, with the ia, with all the things that have happened. Thank you. Sure. And so general manager kelly was talking about one of the rel leg laory issues i want to report on, pg es forecasted rate for 2016, they filed at the Public Utilities california commission, what they project to be their rates for 2016, cleanpowersf has said we will have rates comparable for both our basic and our premium products, rates comparable to what pg e would otherwise be charging customers, its affordable, Competitive Program so, were tracking very much the changes that pg e makes to their rates because thats our competitive benchmark, thats a sealing for the rates that well be charging our customers. Pg e has made some changes that proposed to make some changes that unmet will put downward pressure on the rates we can charge. Were estimating it to be about a 10 rate decrease from what we had talked about as our not to exceed rate, so that as the general manager described really squeezes our margins, make us have to sharpen our pencils a little sharper and do some more of the Financial Analysis with that information. So, thats moving forward at the california puc, also at the california puc are pg es implementation filings for their green tariff option f, this is the program that will allow pg e to offer a 100 renewable product to their residential and commercial customers, thats the product that would compete with cleanpowersfs premium product, so in early september, the california puc issued a resolution in draft form for comment as to saying what they thought about what pg e had asked for, they largely agreed with that but they did put some conditions, some modifications on it. On that item on october 1, the resolution adopts many of the changes the city had requested in our our advocacy filings in the puc, in particular, we were looking for more transparency and more abilities for a customer to look at our program and what were offering and look at pg es program and what theyre and be able to compare them readily, so we were happy to see that puc staff is recommending modifications that would require pg e to include in their bill a separate line for the power the pcia, the power cost indifference adjust which is going to be disclose hated cleanpowersf customers receive, really as i say, to facilitate that side by side comparison, so the vote is scheduled for october 1 and pg e is saying that theyre intending to offer that program in early 2016, so thats what they had said before, they havent gotten more specific, about the same timeframe as us. I just want to point out that what were seeing is that the generation rate they would like to reduce it, at the same time, they want to increase the exiting fee, and we talked about for us to be competitive, our rates would be lower than the exit fee and their generation, so i think its making it more challenging for ccas because theyre charging the higher exit fee and thats how theyre kind of recovering their money and then the generation, theyre trying to be more competitive by lowering that, thats something that were looking at, you know, because its a strategy i think that theyre trying to deploy on cca providers. Were there any rates given . The ak xhul rates were included, yes. And what were they . I believe its the 2 cent premium for green tariff, is it a 2 cent premium, 1. 5 to 3. 5 cents for their green tariff option premium over their existing rates. So, maybe we still feel comfortable moving forward that we can meet, but it will reduce the head room, so were going to look at what we can do with the reduced head room and kind of look at that, so its not the end of the world. I think we still can make a really good program, we just need to kind of look at it and see where we are and see what we can do. Just trying to be thou thoughtful about it, its a big program. Im ready to move on to legislative update if folks are ready to go there. So, one of the major pieces of legislation that our sacramento legislators adopted this year was sb350. Its sort of the next step in californias Climate Change activities. One of the major components of sb350 is that it will increase the renewable portfolio standard target from 33 of the generation provided to retail customers by 2020 will be renewable, up to 50 by 2030, so we have a new target both in date and volume of renewable content that needs to be provided by load serving entities like our cleanpowersf program. It also doubles the existing Energy Efficiency requirements from existing buildings. Well need to meet that 50 for cleanpowersf by 2030. We also worked with other clean power sorry, Community Choice aggregation programs in california to protect against some of the modification that is were proposed in sb350, im happy to report that we were successful in avoiding some additional regulatory layers that the legislature were considering imposing on ccas that would have taken away some of our Decision Making autonomy and we avoided some efforts to increase our exposure to exit fees and other charges that were being advocated by the investor owned utilities, so we had some successes there, we have some new obligations as well and that legislation is awaiting governor browns signature at this time. So, now im going the move on to our supply efforts. And just as a reminder, the program is providing the cleanpowersf prow power is providing two Program Offerings, our default Product Offering at 335 bundled renewables, and our premium product, the 100 renewable and Greenhouse Gas free supply option, when we went out into the marketplace, thats the two offerings were procuring supply for, when we went out into the marketplace, we requested bids in three different under three different options, our firmed and shaped energy, our Renewable Energy and our Resource Adequacy capacity, Resource Adequacy capacity is a requirement for all load serving entities so the iso and the california puc imposed that requirement on folks like us, we face it for our existing Program Offerings from our hetch hetchy power customers and we face it for cleanpowersf, im going to focus on bids we received for option 1 and option 2 mostly. So, on bid option 1, we received 6 bids, im very happy to report were seeing some very attractive pricing, the other terms are still under evaluation, we have short listed three firms and published that on our website, and we had oral interviews of those three firms just yesterday, so the Evaluation Team is continuing to perform their work and we expect those three firms to continue to work with us on putting together their portfolios for very Competitive Priced Renewable Power. Under bid option 2, we received 52 bids, so thats good and thats a high volume and thats great, lots of interest to work with us. Its a lot of work to evaluate all of those distinct bids with their distinct generation profiles, different start dates, how to integrate those, how to value those and integrate them into a portfolio is part of the staff work thats under way at this time, so overall message there on both bid option 1 and 2 responses is were happy with the pricing and Product Offerings were seeing, so a strong package of options for us that were evaluating now, and then we received 6 bids also very competitively priced for the Resource Adequacy capacity that we need to procure. And as we look at those bids, what were evaluating them for is typical thing, as you would expect, are the bidders qualified and experienced to perform as they say they will, whats the total cost and value of what theyre offering to us, how viable are the individual products, so if some of the renewable options that came in under option 2 is forthe city to commit to certain projects that are under various degrees of development, some are already producing electricity, some are going through the permitting process as we speak, so were looking for project those shorts of projects and looking at the overall location and when you put them all together, how do they as a package provide for the bids needs of the program, is it the right shape overall of generation to match the shape of our consumption, is it the right price, is it the right business relationship to strike, those are the sortser of issues that we are evaluating on the supply effort at the staff level today. And some of those issues of course factor into our Business Analysis as well, and our Risk Assessment analysis as well. So, im getting ready to turn the presentation over to tyrone to talk about outreach and enrollment, so if theres any other questions for me, im happy to take them at this time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Take it away, ty. You can start talking, ill do this. If i can get the green i thought i might set the mood a little before i begin the presentation by taking you on a Little Journey of what were trying to do with our outreach and enrollment. playing video . Power, its around us in the sun, the wind, the waves, its power that can light our homes and Energy Businesses while protecting our natural resource, cleanpowersf will provide clean Renewable Power to all san franciscans, how will it work . Right now, your powers generated by pg e from [inaudible] power comes to you over pg e lines, with cleanpowersf, your energy will be generated by cleaner, more renewable sources, it will come to your home or business over the same pg e maintained lines. Cleanpowersf, same service, cleaner energy. So, that concludes my presentation, so thanks. [laughter]. You know, this is really excite hating were at this point where im able to present what our outreach and enrollment strategy is going to be for cleanpowersf. It wasnt easy getting here, we had a lot of conversation including the general manager, all the way down, we talk today our subcommittee, our engaged stake hold etcher, our friends at lafco, everyone has an idea of how do you do outreach and best practices for enrollment. What we have today and what im going to present to you is an exciting start and its an exciting beginning of how we will begin to grow excitement around this Great Program so, with that, let me get started. I wanted to remind everyone that cleanpowersf is for everyone, its for you, its for you, its for everyone who is a san franciscan in this room and thats what we always have to constantly remind ourself, anyone who wants to be part of cleanpowersf, wherever you are in the city can be part of cleanpowersf, you can be part of that in terms of early enrollment, when you f youre ready to be a customer, you can sign up even if we havent reached your area or you can sit back and relax and wait until automatic enrollment comes to your area. Were going to do this by reminding people that they are now going to have a choice, a choice they havent had in the past, a choice they are going to have through pg e but a choice of a better product and a Better Service through our program, through cleanpowersf, and the first one as barbara mentioned our 100 Renewable Energy product which were calling supergreen. So, for premium costs, you get a premium product. We also have our green product, which is going to be the product that we roll out in the automatic enrollment areas but can be early enrolled with anyone who wants to get started with the program, the important thing that separates this program and addresses a lot of the issues that were raised before related to cleanpowersf, we are going to meet or be beat our current pg e rates and have cleaner energy, thats a powerful statement, even if you didnt read the mailer, at the end of today, you will be receiving greener and cleaner energy than you were previous to being enrolled in cleanpowersf, and we have the other opt out, but im not going to focus on that, no ones going to be doing that as we move forward. One of the things and strategies we decided upon was that we wanted to do things differently to maximize participation in this premium product, this superGreen Program, a lot of similar programs like marin, they started the Program Launch in term of enrollment and asked customers to optup, they started, were going to automatically enroll your area and reach out to you again and opt in for a 100 Renewable Energy program, were going to do this a little different, we want to encourage people from the getgo to sign up for the supergreen product, so before we even go to your area for automatic enrollment, were going to be actively going out and canvassing those areas and say, sign up for a 100 Renewable Energy product and we think its going to have market success as we go forward in terms of our adoption rate. And thats what were trying to do through this outreach program. This curve represents kind of the standard kind of Product Launch curve as almost any product you can think of, you can put iphone on top of that and it would be the same product curve sh where in the beginning, youre trying to generate excitement and create a buzz around your program or product, so if you put the iphone at the very beginning, the first people who got the iphone was the apple fanatics, it was still a new technology, and they said, im going to get an iphone, im not sure it will be a great product, i love apple, i believe in that brand and im going to get an iphone, and slowly other people started hearing about the iphone and all the great experiences they were having that the early adopters were having and you start to generate this momentum building up to this curve to successful launches of the iphone 2 to the iphone 3 and to the 4 to where iphone is arguably the most widely adopted, widely recognized and widely held phone in the entire world, and they have managed to maintain the top of that excitement curve through this time, thats what were trying to do and replicate through our cleanpowersf program, so were starting here with citywide early enrollment, it begins today, this conferencing here, this conversation were going to have with lafco coming on friday, going to our automatic phase of enrollment, building into next year when we start to organize our ground troop, our active stake homed, our supervisors, our commissioners, our lacer afco member and is say you need to reach out to yur friends and your networks to sign up with cleanpowersf, move tog the first phase of automatic enrollment on march 16, or whatever that date is, and this is a critical phase for us where we established this Foundation Early on, we have people who are enroll ined the people either through automatic enrollment or through that early adoption and now we need to kind of build upon that wave and we have this tight timeframe to do this and this is where were going to punch in and were going to say, okay, lets broaden this reach even further through a citywide outreach and Advertising Campaign which would augment those grass roots effort that are starting and begin to climb that curve of excitement, leading into our next phase and service cut over later in fall of 2016. So, for our phase i city wide enrollment and automatic enrollment, bargaining citywide, you are in the marina, richmond district, anywhere around the city, you want to be enrolled in cleanpowersf, were going to prioritize your enrollment first, after thats done, the area weve chosen to select is the southeast part of the city for our first phase of enrollment. Why did we choose to start auto enrollment in the southeast . Two reasons. We have the potrero power plant and the Hunters Point power plant. When we look at this area, nrs only one neighborhood in the entire city that has had a history of polluting power plants in their backyard and that is here in the southeast part of the city, and so what better way to start this statement of this program and what this program is all about which is bringing clean, Affordable Energy to anyone regardless of socioeconomic status, regardless of what environmental justices you have faced, this is a prime ground for us to make a big, bold statement about why we choose and why people should choose cleanpowersf and why we feel strongly about clean energy here in San Francisco, and the puc was active in helping close these two power plants down but we need to take the next step forward in bringing clean energy to an entire community and neighborhood, but these two reasons arent the only reasons we decided to start with automatic enrollment here in the southeast, there were a couple of others and we heard from a lot of different people, a couple of people in particular, about concerns about why we would choose the southeast and we think those two reasons i mentioned earlier on top of these other ones still make a strong case and a strong argument for why this is a great place to start. One, in identifying the customer load mix, this area happened to have a Great Customer load mix, it also provided a concentrated geographical area for us to target our outreach, especially at a time during the super bowl when things are expensive, it gave us a way to letheir premium product in marin, and a 0. 5 adoption within sonoma, and so i just want to also caveat with sonoma, they havent do begun that second phase of that outreach, they wanted to automatically enroll everyone in and then get everyone to optup, that could be one driver for why they havent hit those high marks yet, but it gives us some idea what to shoot for with our own goal and is then what are our friends in the utility owned utilities doing, and what do they propose and their Participation Rate, we have Southern California edison program, 0. 5 , these are numbers they submitted to the puc about what their Participation Rate would be, San Diego Gas and lektd rick, less than 0. 5 sx, we have pg es own program, theyre ants paying 0. 22 of people willing to opt in to their Premium Green product. What do we want to set for our goal . We always like stretch goals because it gives us something to strive for websinger always say we can do better and i believe we can do better in San Francisco in terms of setting a target thats both realistic but also gives us a stretch goal for what we want to accomplish, and so our goal that weve out lao iped here for the end of phase ii is an opt out rate of less than 20 and supergreen to make up 5 of all of the enrolled accounts, and we believe these are reasonable goals to start off with, it doesnt mean were going the shoot for 5 or that 30 , were going to be satisfied at 20 opt out, were going to try to surpass and exceed all of these goals that we set for ourselves and with that, that will pretty much conclude my presentation, hopefully you are excited. I will leave you one lasting image, you can go back to the slide, thats me. Thats going to be everyone because we want every Single Person in this room to be a superhero, just champion supergreen at home, no matter what you do at work, you can be a supergreen superhero at home, and with that, ill take any questions. Im sure i think first of all in that graphic of you, you should be drinking a supergreen drink rather than a brown drink . The only direction i gave to the graphics team, i said, can you do a cartoon illustration of me for this, i want to create a superhero montage and he put the mug there, anyone who sees me in the building knows that i walk around with a brown star bucks coffee mug wherever i go, thats what they put in my hand. You need a green mug. It might be a rose [inaudible] for you. Thank you, tyrone, i appreciate that. So, the supergreen signup, i just had a thought, is there a strategy around kind of seeing if theres any high profile people, whether theyre elected or whether theyre celebrities who live in San Francisco, whoever those are, chris isaac . Danny glover, does he still live here . I think he does. But they might be interested in signing up ahead of time and could then sort of help advertise because i think we really want to pull out all the stops and absolutely. The mayor. Thats just an illustration of me, like i said, theres an illustration for every single one of you coming as well as the mayor and every one of our supervisor and is the idea for the animation, the superhero idea came from our supervisor. Oh, great. And then i had a question, just one more question too, and thank you by the way for the presentation, i think its great, its very exciting that were at this point and i love all the graphics and the visuals because i think its going the help. Maybe barb said this and she buried the lead, the march, 2016 launch of the program, is that what i heard . Because i just would wabt want to make sure with whatever p fw, and e is doing with their green tariff program, whether they launch or not rkts i dont know whether or not thats an issue from a communications perspective, i would think that maybe from an uptake, that would be an issue and if indeed it might be, i would just urge that we try and accelerate again that launch date so that we dont, you know, so that we can get ahead of that. Were moving as soon as possible, but, you know, we have to make sure that we get a good plan because my whole thing is you plan, you work, you wouldve, you plan, if you have a faulty plan, youre working through youre working a faulty plan, so we want to make sure we plan it right, thats why were taking a little more time to make sure everything is done correctly. We are trying to move as quickly as possible, and so like we say, were talking about weeks, not months to get our act together. I dont know when pg e is slated to move forward on theirs, but were going to start advertising or at least we start doing the launch, but it starts before then, the opt out notices need to be finalized by november to make sure it hits the mail. Irrelevants not going to have an overall effect of the success of what we think we can be with phase i as long as that outreach happens before pg es projected, you know were already beginning to engage with all of the folks to the southeast, to help enroll people and get the word out, so those conversations have begun a few weeks ago. Great, thank you. First, your mug might be okay because isnt brown the new green . But i want to applaud you, this is a great presentation. I think the symbolism of starting in the bayview air xwra and were in district 10 i think is important and i hope the residents of that neighborhood also feel that way equally. I think the deadline of being moved back, i understand it makes sense, i know that all eyes are on us to make sure that it goes forward, but i like the message and the plan, i think it makes a lot of sense and the last thing i will say since the cubs are headed towards the playoffs, this is the year it will happen. We will not illustrate a cub uniform on you. I do have a celebrity i can present. A couple of questions. On the phase i, when you do the first citywide preenrollment, is that going to be for residential and commercial at the same time . Yes, its basically for anyone residential or commercial that wants to sign up for the program. Okay. When you then get into the official rollout with the optout provisions and all that, how does that work . When you have preenrolled, do we still have to send out optout notices to those same customers . Yes, you do need to send out optout notices, something thats been helpful in lancaster, theyve had a waiver box so that instead of receiving the two required prior optout notices, you can just get the two optout notices from when Service Starts so i thinks a strategy were going to use for those early enrollees. It can be confusing if you get optout stuff before you enrolled and what does this mean and why and we need to manage that as best we can. And is the product were selling basically focused on green content and price, and im thinking in addition to that, other Service Offerings such as go solar options, so far, we havent tied those to, you know, cca customers, but we could. And weve talked about that somewhat. You know, what is is current status of that, whats our thinking on it . So, you know, i think the number one thing that were looking at with the head room is to look at a go Solar Program thats actually funded by the cca head room because it needs to come from that, also with the go solar, well make that available and as we go through the city and automatically enroll folks, the good thing about the go solar, what weve done in the past, hopefully theyll become our customer so weve made an investment, we still have the credits from those installations, so it opens up a new way of the concern that we have invested in pg e customers, now they become our customers, so it kind of works out. And i guess i would encourage us to make that connection as explicit as early as we can and because i expect that pg e is not going to be silent during this period and that theyre going to raise issues that we havent thought about, trying to make it look like less than it is. The more we can have bundled into that, by virtue of being our cca customer, you have access to a go Solar Program which you would not have otherwise, that would be a nice bundling to have for it. And thats another thing thats not illustrated here is the Customer Care part of it after youre enroll ed, we want to make sure youre happy with our services, we want to make sure youre aware of all the services we offer to you as a customer of cleanpowersf. Do we have a listing of the power Customer Care programs that we have and we can look at it and say, if you sign up for cca, are you getting the same or better . Ive spent some time roaming around the pg e website, not so much ton residential but on the commercial side, they have all kinds of programs. And i think it would be important to be able to say that for some of those, youre probably still eligible for those programs, in those cases where youre not, either we do or dont provide them, i think that would be an important part of our rollout as well. We definitely do not. Which also got me thinking about their website, its a pretty slick website and it has features in there like you can go in and they will compare for you your monthly bill under different rate plans. I dont expect that they will include cca as one of those, but it does raise the issue of what access we have to the Customer Data and what we can do on our own website that parallels that or provides the same kind of information to customer service. We should be able to compare our rates to their rates. Yeah, and that will be one of the things that we build out as we finalize what the rate is going to be, that kind of comparison. And it should be on an account by account basis, given the amount of power that you use, given the pattern you use it in, if you have their three available rates, wlas the monthly estimated bill, if you have our supergreen, what are the estimated monthly bills on that, but thats something that i dont know if it makes sense to integrate or if its possible to integrate with their website, but we need to have something comparable there. So, that people get the same level of service, it also goes with customer notices and news letters, they have news letters that come out talking about Water Conservation, makes them look pretty socially responsible. We need to have programs that do the same thing or a link that if youre part of the puc family, heres the various things that you get, i think theres a lot of opportunities there. I think the biggest challenge is that as we talked about is each one of these accounts are still a pg e customer, they get the bill from pg e and we have a little line on their bill, so i dont know if they will be too receptive of putting our literature in their bill about that and maybe we can ask about it, but the other thing is we do reach all the folks on our water and sewer bill, so we can look at ways of doing that, that way, and we need to invest, you know, as you may know, i have solar on my roof and i have to look at my solar provider to see how the performance is and then i have to go to the pg e bill to see how much im getting back and forth because theyre not tied together, you know, its just the nature that its not from all system and theyre not integrated so it will be something that you would look another your pg e in the generation and we would have to provide information on our website or through our mailers on our waste water and water bill. And we should be able to get access to the billing data on our cca customers. Yes. Well have access to it. Is it timely . Okay. So, i would just say, yes, well have access to that information, there has been some challenges that the other ccas that are already operating have had with getting access to information and being able to do things that you have been talking about with pg e, that doesnt mean well try, and there are some state law requirements that make it mandatory to do communicate bill comparisons between the utility the investor owned utility and the Community Choice aggregate tor, so we will absolutely try to work with them, but then there is also the state law requirement that theyll have to produce a bill comparison, an annual bill comparison or excuse me, an annual rate comparison for their customers. Together with us, youre supposed to mutually prepare that and send it. My last comment is an overall one, that the first challenge that we have is the rollout and how we accomplish that, but the Customer Care and marketing, i think its going to be an ongoing obligation that well have, as we bring the budget forward, thats something that if were not appropriately staffed to really have a marketing and Customer Care program which is fully competitive with pg e and fully serves the customer tos the same level they have grown to expect or better, we need to address that in the budget as well. Right, i totally agree, i think thats our number one as i mentioned before, once we are able to get a customer, we have to keep the customer because the last thing i want to did is move to building more resources and i look behind me and all the customers left and went to the other side. Its not going help the program. Right. And speaking about staff, i want to do my oscar moment, Charles Sheen as my Power Communications manager, amy st. Clare, [inaudible] mike tota is over there as well, the cca team, my graphic designer, roy, and my mom and dad. [laughter]. That concludes it. Come back, ty. It was a wonderful presentation and a lot of good ideas. I do have some questions and some comments generally. I am having a problem understanding how were going to define the difference between us and pg e. In that, if you have 100 green and they have 100 green and if the difference isnt by price, how are we going the win those people over . And i think it really is going to have to be that grass roots emphasis which is why were talking about that foundation and base and having that network talking to each other, thats the only way were going to be successful, were not going to out spend pg e in term of marketing but the one thing we have is we are a Public Agency invested in caring about the public activity, then investing back into public resources, thats a strong message to us, what were receiving back or this program is being reinvested back into the community as far as jobs and local buildout, those types of attributes, we can say more than pg e. Probably more that we can say it, thats why we want to lead with affordabilities because when we talk about the green product, we can say ours is greener or costs the same or cheaper, but if someone chooses to go 100 , they can go with their supergreen or pg es product, so what we would say is affordable, also we can say the renewables that we have selected are within city, our local projects will be more local than pg e, pg e would be more on their territory, thats what we can talk about the plans, this Business Plan that beear going to talk about, those are the two things, the good thing is that no matter if they go with our program is 100 or pg es 100 , i think the city is in a better place than the plan. Well, thats the real reason, thats why were doing this. Yes. The other remark i wanted to make was regarding southeast. I think its a great idea. The only stumbling block i see and then maybe because of your outreach, this wouldnt occur, but if it turns out that our automatic enrollment is the same price as pg es, i mean, the product is the same price, i think that a lot of people in southeast or any place for that matter would be pretty might halved that they were automatically put into a program and have to opt out themselves, i think tlas the only danger with whatever area we start with, thats going to be the first [inaudible] wherever it is, and we have to be careful with this because you dont want to get people ticked off before you even start growing the program. I think one of the most important thing, its not only the safe price, its greener, so its not i have a problem with that because if pg e says theirs is greener than ours, whos to judge . So, on their basic green product they have a basic service. They have to declare the renewables, they have to declare, so its not a mystery, and on ours, we have to declare ours, so ours will be greener than theirs and we will always make sure our basic product is going to be greener than theirs, but on the 100 , you know, we have to really look at being more affordable, so that is where the thats why were looking at what pg e is proposing to the california puc because thats going the change our strategy a little bit, but youre absolutely right, it would be nice to be greener and cheaper because if its cheaper and greener, whos going to argue unless you have great, strong feelings to being a pg e customer, so im totally with you that affordability, if we can do that, that would be great, and also it would be great in the southeast sector where people can be greener at a cheaper rate. It would just be fantastic. Yeah, i just dont want southeast to come back and say, theyre doing it again to us, were the guinea pigs and thanks a lot, we have to opt out now. Duly noted. Er so, we will obviously know more when we get the pricing done. Anyway, good job. Thank you. I do have some speakers. Eric brooks. God afternoon, commissioner, eric brooks, its good to see you, ive been out for a couple of meet x here on behalf of San Francisco clean power advocates, i first want to say that on the marketing thing that you just saw the presentation on, were very excited about this idea of looking at district 10, saying, look, this is the most environmentally impacted neighborhood in the city, its crucial that we put forward this program in a big way in that Community First z however, we have strong concerns about only doing in district 10 which is basically the plan right now is to solely do it in that district that gives pg e and other opponents the ability to specifically target the specific demographics that are in a specific area with a tax and they will roll out all kinds of clever attack, most of them will be false, so we think it makes a lot more sense to maybe do half of the automatic enrollments in d10 and half of them in the areas where polls show people are most excited about cleanpowersf and a Green Program so that you dont have all your eggs in one basket. As commissioner caen indicated, it could go bad on you under a pg e ad assault, so we want to make sure were being mindful about that and were pretty concerned about that. I was at a meeting yesterday where we heard this presentation about the marketing plan and it was not mentioned during that presentation that what were hearing today about delay ins the program and that raises some major red flags. Pg e after marin started up, pg e since the beginning has constantly been changing its rates and changing rate structures to play games with what marin can do competing with them on price. That is something that will be ongoing from the beginning that will never change. And as general manager kelly suggested, we can market 100 green to people by talking about the local benefits. The reason that we have and your staff wisely chose to have the light Green Program between 33 and 50 clean is that it gives us flexibility in case pg e does play games with the rates, so as we said at the very beginning of this process, when something similar was said by staff, we do not want you delaying, absolutely do not want you delaying your october approvals because of trying to make the perfect [inaudible] the good, by deciding, pg e might do x, y, and z, and thats really not acceptable, and i wanted to make that clear. Thank you. Thank you. Alright. Jason freed, executive officer for lafco on the marketing plan, i think st staff put together a good marketing plan, youve already complimented them enough to try to address commissioner caen, one of your concerns. [inaudible]. So, those would be some of the things i would encourage you to do with that. As far as the timeline goes, you know, i always will encourage you to move as quickly as you can. I will drum that broken record, we do need to be cautious, i think there needs to figure out where that balance and i like the compare you two, commissioner moran, youre the one who wants to make sure everything is taken care of, as a customer of the fcpur, and i think commissioner, youre willing to push it as fast as possible, if you Pay Attention to pg e when theyve networked, they seem to coincide with whatever youre working on creating this program, so the launch of their green tariff, i would not be shocked if it was around the same time whether we launched today or two years from now, that green tariff seems to be around the same time, i wouldnt worry as much about that, i think there are enough good way tos sell our product on the local side and on all the benefits we can provide tat local level. If we do get to that big scale buildout, were talking about stable pricing you, ear not seeing really that Competitive Price today but five, ten years down the road as those projects mature more, as natural gas and as pg e has to increase their own renewable load, their prices go up, you would have locked in those buildout project, those prices would be firmed into a price, basic increases going on there, so i will yield to you at this time and come back to you on friday when we have our joint meeting to talk about some of these details as well. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Decosta. Commissioner, way back in 200 1, some [inaudible] would go to sacramento to see what it was all about, so morris campbell, michael boyd, lynn brown, paul sand, [inaudible] bloom field, these are a few people who initially gave a lot of input into what you are discussing today. Now, its very easy to talk about a Business Plan, but the real Business Plan has to be vetted at all levels. So, you have to ask your staff if that is done. The last time around, we had some outrage and we had a joint meeting between you, the commission and the department of environment. We found out how some of your staff did the outreach with some buyers. You cannot mess with pg e, as you know, every time when you go into your closed session and youre dealing with lawsuits brought by pg e, you can tally how many of the lawsuits are won by pg e and how many of the lawsuits are won by sfpuc. I have that Empirical Data, so i know where that bafoonary stands, so what im saying is when we are dealing with whatever we are dealing and we have a Business Plan, let us not be foolish to leave the community out, and let us not be more foolish to speak on behalf of the Community Without giving them a voice. Now, we all need to address the best product, what we have two advantage, and im talk b about sfpuc is not only land in San Francisco but we have land elsewhere, and so we need to follow the direction of a nation like germany whos done so much in solar power by having the ability to produce and then we give our presentation, lets not talk about pg e and the overheadline that is you bring to energy, but we have to bear in mind the 400 megawatts we bring from pittsburg which you conveniently leave out. Let us give the right information to the people of San Francisco so that they can participate in this deliberations in a very truthful manner. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other comments from the public . Your next item, general manager . The drought, steve ritchie. Thank you, commissioners, steve khaoe, assistant general manager for watt e well go into the update of the current drought. As usual, ill show you the storage levels in our reservoirs which hetch hetchy is 78 of the capacity, thats coming down, as it normally does every year, so were in good shape there, but its a standard process, also the water bank has been steadily increasing in capacity, its about 116 acre feed, we expect to get to about 173 thousand acre feed, so theres nothing thats changing about this picture, our system is performing as we expected to. The community precipitation, if you look really close at the red line, there was a tiny bump up, we did have a little precipitation just a cum of weeks ago, not much but obviously were at the end of the water year and the excitement is all going to be ahead as to see what happen ins the coming water year. Our total deliveries have continued to stay stable at about 200 million gallons per day, in full disclosure, if you look close, youll see the blue line looks a little different than it has in previous slides, we found an error in terms of how we were displaying it for 2014, it was higher than what we had displaying before, we were displaying it correctly last year when we were experiencing the comparison between the two was off because of a mathematical error, the message is the the same, folks are conserving well, and we havent jumped above 200 mgd, that line has been essentially flat now for about the last three months. The net result i think is really a very important slide to see, we estimated that to meet our targets a year, we needed to save a billion dollar worldwideser we saved 11. 4 billion gallon, we met the target for the year so far, were going to continue to save water, thats a great thing. Folks have done an outstanding job of conserving both outside of San Francisco and in San Francisco. I showed yo awe slide similar to this last time we talked. It was for the three year running average periods of hot and dry and it was for california statewide, so i had our folks do some analysis and use hetch hetchy data and add in the fourth year through this water year, 2015 and not surprisingly for the hetch hetchy system, this last four years has been the hottest and driest four year period on record for our system. It is we are living in historic times here, i think you probably saw news reports that it was the lowest in many year, this is a deep drought and a hot one and the hots important because that means plant usage of water and the Natural Systems is up, this is a challenging time, no doubt about it. I showed this slide last time trying to show that at least historically, we have not really been able to correlate el nino currents here in the Central Coast area with precipitation, but ive got some slides to add to this now, last week, the National Weather service has put out some new forecast data, i havent shared slides that look like this because theyre a little wonky, generally what theyve shown is that white area is called equal chance, that means equal chance of greater than or less than normal precipitation and thats been sitting over the middle of california for the last year in their projections. What this shows is looking out to december, january and february, the green has moved north, basically theyre looking at a between 55 and 70 percent chance of above normal precipitation for the three month period from between december and february, if you look from january to march, it increases between 60 and 70 chance of above normal precipitation, does this mean its going to rain . No. Does it mean its going the rain heavily . No. [inaudible] this is an actual change in what theyre projecting at the National Weather services, we wont go to the bank on this, it does give a certain amount of hope that were going to see some precipitation above normal in the coming year. And then last but not least, i want today touch on the state water board regulatory actions. This last spring, they adopted various regulations for Water Conservation as they did also in 2014, those Emergency Conservation regulations are set to expire in february of 2016, so the state board has done some outreach talking to us and other water agencies and nonprofit organizations about what actions the state may take regarding potentially permanent regulations so theyre trying to decide what they should do next, and theres a lot of con stern consternation in the swatted community that theyre being aggressive on this. Were taking a wait and see attitude, a lot of the things they put in place are not hinging that are a challenge for us, were going to take a look that the and see how that progresses over the next few weeks and make a comment on that. Regarding diversion curtailments, we will continue to do those. Any questions . Something was announced the other day about the water rights, did that pertain to us at here for the update on the program. Can you bring up the slides, please. Today im present a program and project specific update and im going the talk to you about where we are with the state resolveinging fund and [inaudible] projects are beginning to move into design and we have several prompts ob the cutting edge going into construction at the southwest plant. This is how we feel its going to be going. On the Green Infrastructure side, theres a lot of interest on how were delivering these projects, this graphic just depicts right now we have sunset, we have holloway and Mission Valencia almost in construction, by mid to next year, we will have all of the projects in construction. Then after that, well be hoping we get some of that wet weather that mr. Ritchie describe sod we can monitor the performance and see how effective we are at removing stormwater from the system, we will be monitoring for a three year period after the projects are installed. Right now, theres 68 projects that are moving forward, you can see this is a graphic i show at each quarterly report, the blue portion is getting bigger each time, more and more projects are going into design and our light blue will be getting bigger too and our spending will be increasing. So, on a program status, i wanted to highlight, we go on a quarterly basis to the revenue Bond Oversight Committee and i present what projects are doing, how were forecasting, we gave them an update on state Revolving Fund work, we are developing rfps for construction manager because were going the need those Construction Managers in place to provide special inspection as we begin to move forward. We have initiated Architectural Design guidelines to other project that is are planned for o ut east, we have consistent approaches on how were handling the perimeter setback and is the like. We did have a board of supervisors presentation at the land use and Transportation Committee and i was accompanied by waste water urban watershed Management Program folk and is we talked to them about urban water policy, the stormwater design guideline, how effective those have been and i gave them an update on the early water implementation programs, theres a lot of thought of where were going to go with a green water, we were sandwiched with some items that had nothing to do with Green Infrastructure, so it was hard to be heard at that time. We are continuing our effort on flood resiliency, were looking at this citywide to see what areas are going to be challenged with we have larger storms or even when we have our own design storm. That data was requested by general manager kelly and that will help to inform as to what projects we may move forward with in termser of flood resiliency. We did issue our annual report that went out this summer and its online, you can check it out there, theres the link, it covers all of the accomplishments from the pascal dar year across the board, all the major things, all the heavy lifting and the timeline, thats a nice document that staff pulled together. On the state Revolving Loan funds side, were work witching the board and were looking to obtain 1. 5 billion dla rs over the next five years, the highlight there is the interest rate, its half of our ben Bond Obligation rate, its [inaudible] and that is annually over the 30 year term, so its a large amount of savings and its really a wonderful thing and alexandra is here today in the audience sitting in and shes been steam rolling this, done a great job. We were designated as a frequent [inaudible] from the state and we have a capacity of [inaudible] for the rest naufnlt some quick preconstruction highlight, the head works project, the head works is where all the flows converge to the plant and our challenge there is to make sure they come in but we manage the grit, that we pull the grit out tha,s important to the success of our [inaudible] project, were in the process of completing the conceptual engineering report, we issued an rfq which is a request for qualifications to pull on a project manager general contractor, and that was issued early september. The central bay side central Improvement Project is where you would have seen a red dot, commissioner caen, that was only dot in the sip report this time, we had the discussion about the size of that tunnel and where we with want to move forward with that, were studying that now, discussing it with the executive team and will be returning in the fall to bring that to you for decision. The biosolids project is moving rapidly, we are in the phase of completing the conceptual engineering report, Environmental Review is under way ask that will be complete by june, 2017. On the Green Infrastructure side, sunset boulevard greenway began construction in august, that as unique delivery, its being design and had built by the department of public works, the job training program, holloway green streets is on your calendar today for approval for award, that will be our first project to receive state Revolving Loan funds, that is requested today. Mission valencia, we expect that to start mid october, november, we had three individuals go through our four section course for green infratrucker cheer training so weve had 25 Companies Represented and its basically four module ins this training class, so its quite a commitment when you go to that, but our plan is were going to be certifying these contractors and there will be a precertification requirement when they do our future infrastructure work so that jobs will go smoothly as possible, on urban watershed assessment, theyre the leaders in flood resiliency, as we bring all these questions and answers forward to you, we will be laying out our Capital Program on what we want to do on the green side as well as the Flood Control side. Current projects wrapping up the digest tor roofs, we have 8 digesters currently operational, and numerous upcoming projects, that list will continue to grow. Now i have an exciting slide about local workforce, im going to have to read it because it has so many interesting pieces of information. As you know, we worked very hard to provide Small Business and Job Opportunities to San Francisco residents and particular those from the southeast community, i want to give you a report from the ssip world, out of those 328 Million Dollars that have been awarded on ssip prime contracts, 112 million have been awarded to subs, nearly half of that amount or 48 have been awarded to local San Francisco lbes, so weve been doing a tremendous job. In addition, San Francisco businesses have also served as prime contractors on five of the six projects that we have awarded to date, representing over 30 Million Dollars. Local hire, a quick update, San Francisco local hire ordinance requires percentage of workers on each of the projects be residents of San Francisco, so through 2015, the range is 2030 depending on what date were advertising, so through june, 2015, San Francisco residents have worked more than 40 of all the hours on the ssip projects, exceeding the requirements. What this mean iss we have 120 San Francisco residents who have worked on ssip projects earning a widened 2. 5 Million Dollars in wages, out of those hours worked by residents of San Francisco, the highest presentation was district 10 represents bayview Hunters Point and [inaudible] valley, the mission, district 9. So, we have spent a lot of time listening to communities, working with the community and certainly appreciate all the Public Comment and we understand the urgency to pull in as many Small Businesses as possible, so as a response, we have really put our feet on the ground at our Contractors Assistance Center in the bayview Hunters Point community and thats where its a Meeting Point for contractors to come in. We have hearings there, we have bid openings there, we recently had a call for action where we were talking to the community and the Contractor Community about the Construction Management opportunities na will be coming up and that was standing room only. So, we really try today make use of that venue to pull people in and have it be a place that contractors use. Stakeholder engagement, the summer usually is slow but we were still quite busy because were doing a lot of Community Meetings to talk about the flood Water Grant Program that was approved at the commission. We also were lucky that our interns put on a beautify the bayview shar ret process, it was swooped by the ssip, they had the Community Come and they went door to door to make sure they had great attendance and they developed concepts for how the communities could be beautified, looking at the southeast plan and the corridor around there. On august 21, our sewer rap video received a reward from the California Association of sanitary west, thank you, and we were honored with an amazing glass trophy, you can see on the bottom, agm [inaudible] and abrams went down to receive that report, we had 47 thousand hits on the video now, that has taken us a long way, thats one of ways we try to reach people and make sewers sexy so that we keep up with our enterprise. Sadly, the summer ended and we said goodbye to our 21 students would went back to high school or college and hopefully they will return after their lives away from us next summer. That concludes my report. Yes, you have a question . So, i just want to thank you for your report, and it is real exciting, but i wanted to make sure we place enough emphasis on the data points about local hire and about the wages going into the community because then the Small Businesses and the local businesses start to get a kick back for lack of a better world as a result of that, its really impressive, the work that youre doing and tommy and laurie and i know harlan is all over this stuff, we had all those kings about local hire and underemployment and overemployment and i think its really important to stress those points because thats getting it done, im just honored to be here and i would like to keep us talking about it. I did send a communication out in the Green Infrastructure certification. I would like to know a little bit more about that. Theres a big difference between those you know, we refer to those Construction Industry jobs, especially for the Building Trades as seasonal work, theres a big difference between those position and is those maintenance type of positions so i want to flush that out a little bit more when time permits. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, madam chair, any Public Comments . Seeing none. The next item, please. Item 9 is a bawsca update. Nicole sandkulla, i had two things i wanted to talk with you today, i did want to update you on water use characteristics in the s frs area to give you a sense of whats going on and update you on discussions i had with my board about the tunnel. So, first, this was a slide we pulled together for the board last week, they are interested in what it means on a per capita basis, so this is a comparison of july, 2014 per capita data to the most recent yule data, we are in the misleading of a drought but its a comparison of what the state board used those numbers to assign the targets so the reduction that were seeing on a per capita basis is significant just as we were already in the misleading of middle of drought. Inger is that saying that hills pro didnt use any water . I forgot to comment about that, i believe they had a data error, they submitted overall consumption data but not a per capita data as of when we pulled this off, so good catch. Sea hills burrow on this, theyre having Great Success this last month exceeding their target, in fact, all the agencies exceeded their targets, both in june and now also in july, so this graphic shows both those numbers, it shows the july number and then also the cumulative number, the cumulative number is in blue and the july number is in yellow, and their target is in green, and what were seeing and what we expect to see which is theyre exceeding their target in these summer mothers because we know its the opportunity for them to do that, overall, their target is 15 from the state, so theyre basically doubling that in july. And in fact this is the trend that weve continued to see for the last several months, the 32 , 33 and 31 for those last three month and is we ant pate the august data to be coming out very shortly, so this is a really good picture but as weve been telling everybody, it doesnt mean to sit back and do nothing because in a service area like this where you have per capita that is low in the winter, its hard to achieve a significant save rinsing the winter, this is exactly what we want to see. A different way of looking at it is if we were to the state says you have to save so much basically from june through the following february, we have a target savings, a volume savings for that overall period, if we were just to add up thats your savings target as a total volume and add up how much agency saved for june and july and created a percentage, thats what this graph is showing, as a group, the agencies have akhao efd over 57 of the total savings they have to achieve by february, so again, very, very significant with some agencies already exceeding their overall target, that would be north coast, and this really reps just the june and july data, essentially only 25 through the period of savings opportunities, so really seeing a response if you will in the community to the call and knowing that were going to achieve the state target which is very good. So, thats what i have on the conservation data and the demand data. And i think its a good picture. I did want to i also provided to the district secretary and you each have i think a copy of a statement i gave to my board last week. They wanted an update on mountain tunnel and to see where things were at. I was able to really provide them a description of the progress youve made and i think theres been a lot of progress.

Programming was our first step we wanted to offer a program that is, you know, makes people happy and leaves them with memories. Here and there. So more points. Ready 1, 2, 3. I think a big part is its coming from San Francisco it is real estate a kind of vibe people relate to each other and everyones living in the city and you can feel the breath of fetish air and the experience you get out here. I think it give us an opportunity to get away from technology you come out here and look at it here and not look at our iphones and you kind of lose users in the city and have a cup of coffee im corey a typical day increase no typical day. And just the first time being on the talent show and getting a huge applause and i never expected it is is r is a great experience im an executive chief here at kathy serve over one hundred meals a day for the camp mather folks. People love our meals and the idea they can pick up a meal and dont worry about shopping or doing dishes and enjoy and have a great time at camp mather grasping grab on. I like camp mather it is a lot of freedom and kids run around its great. They have all the things i dont have to do the kids get to do what they want to do and we basically focus on them thats our only job. I like camp mather because i can ride my bike. I love camp mather. The children are up here playing around and riding their booiths bicycles thats a great place to see what the word is like outside of the city. This lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. These shallow concrete pools dont have fish. This is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. Ith was built in the 1930s and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. Every year, the World Championship of fly casting is held in San Francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. We are here with phil, general manage of San Francisco rec and Parks Department at the anglers lodge. What do you think about this . It is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. There are people from all over the world come to San Francisco and say this is the place to be. Yeah. Its amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today and they are thrilled. I flew from ireland to be here. And been practicing since for the competition. All the best casters in the world come here. My fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. Its unique. Will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. Competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. There is no complex in the world that can touch it. Im here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. Im going to suit up and next, were in the water. What any gentleman should do. Golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. We have equipment show up on the 9 30 on the second saturday of every month and well teach them to fly cast. Ok. We are in the water. Let me acquaint you with the fly rod. Nice to meet you. This is the lower grip and the upper grip. This is a reel and a fly line. We are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. Exactly as you moved your hands. Thats it . Thats it. Im a natural. Push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. Push forward. I did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice. I met someone else with real fly casting skills. Her name is donna and she is an International Fly casting champion. I have competed in the casting ponds in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. I spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. Its a great place to learn and have fun. On a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. I find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. Takes me out into the nature. Almost like drawing art in the air. And then i can make these beautiful loops out there. Even though people from across the globe come here to compete, its still a place where locals in the know relax and enjoy some rely unique scenery. Until next time, get out and play i would like to remind the members of the public that the commission does not tolerate any disruption or outbursts of any kind, please silence the cell phones, if you care to state your name for the record. I would like to take roll. Woning. Here. Wu. Here. Antonini. Here. Hillis. Here. Johnson. Here. Moore. Here. Richards. Here. And for the recreation and park commission. Buell. Here. Low
