For San Francisco residents, so i would like the commission to send a strong message that for puc staff to work with the local power to develop the best cca that is possible. Thank you. Thank you very much. And next speaker please. Good afternoon folks. Alwine from the Clean Energy Alliance and i have the great opportunity to be chairing those stakeholder meetings that take place, fairly contentious of recent time. I wanted to address two questions quickly. One is a question of the rates and the high rates that i think everybody concerned about it at roll out time which according to the proposals that have been put before the rate fairness board are roughly somewhere depending on your tier between 18 and 30 above current bills, and its really important that we feel, the advocates, and the commission itself feels to really lower those rates and i wanted to say we encourage every effort to do that. That the proposal youre putting forward supervisor campos would not make a huge difference
Commissioner pimentel there is an illness and if we could excuse here. Okay. Mr. Chair, we have a quorum. Before we start we would like to thank the clerk linda wong and acknowledge the sfgtv staff for covering the meeting today. Madam clerk if you can please call item two. Item two is election of the chairperson and the vicechairperson for 2013. Okay colleagues this is something that we do every year at the local Agency Formation commission, and ive had the honor of serving in the capacity of chair of lafco for the last two years following the tenure of then commissioner that was before me and it has been an exciting time for me, a fruitful two years, and the most important thing of course that happened in the last two years is the fact that we got approval of the Community Choice Aggregation Program by the board of supervisors, and i want to thank the interim executive officer as well as lafco staff, ms. Miller and mr. Fried for the great work that they have done but i do believe in

Would you like two minutes . Yes, two minutes, yes. Commissioners . Today, we had a lengthy presentation and discussion on this matter. And the purpose of this amendment is to tell pg e that sfpuc can bring this number to the same number that pg e proposes. Which is nine. So, that is the only purpose. That sfpuc is on the equal footing or has the resources or can deliver a product the same as pg e. And in my humble opinion, we cannot. This is a moving target. We cannot. There are 105 years of experience and we have none. That is the only purpose. And that presentation of the many, many, many, loop holes, so with this rate, we are also need to know, what is the quality, what is the unit quality of the entity . We need the critical data. Not just reduce the amount, we want to know. The public needs to know
