Potentially at the board . Are there any other approvals to allow us to be able to go and do this Feasibility Study . [multiple voices] i would have to yield to the City Attorney or to the city process because as a lafco representative, i dont represent the city on this step. I would yield to them to say what the process is. My understanding is this would go through the board process. Depending how many votes it gets, the mayors approval or not approval, that would be the [speaker not understood]. It would still have to come bag before any program is launched. [speaker not understood]. It would go through the board and the sfpuc would have to at that point both agree to do moving a Program Forward if we were to go down this model. But the Feasibility Study would give us an idea of what it would take to actually do that. Umhm. And so, then, in terms of the marin side, was there any sort of approval that has to take place on their part for us to be able to do the Feasibility Study . I wo
Im also an environmental scientist. Im frustrate that had ive lived here since 1999 and ive heard about cleanpowersf for i believe 10 years now and that we still dont see a Clean Energy Program in the city. So, im very glad to see the board looking at pursuing all means of moving this program forward. Clearly we need to offer power to San Francisco citizens that is cleaner than pg e at the same price or cheaper and marin has shown that thats imminently possible. However, San Franciscos program has long had a primacy on new generation and local generation. So, i think as we go forward, we just want to ensure that San Francisco has local control of the parameter of our program so that we can accrue the cobenefits like thousands of local jobs that we have seen from previous planning documents. Particularly in light of the legislation which president chiu just pushed forward in the previous item, as you are funding strategy for the next five years, a coherent plan for all workforce service
And so, then, in terms of the marin side, was there any sort of approval that has to take place on their part for us to be able to do the Feasibility Study . I would yield to the representative from marin to answer that part. Our board has not yet set policy for how we might expand to community the size of San Francisco. We do have policy and a process set for communities that are within 30 miles of our jurisdiction and have a Customer Base of 40,000 or less. And we have a couple of pending [speaker not understood] from surrounding communities including the county of napa, city of albany, [speaker not understood] for membership along those lines. That process is pretty well defined and clear, but our board has not yet set a process for what we are calling special consideration communities, which are communities that would be further than 30 miles away from us and have a Customer Base larger than 40,000. Our board knishates the discussions about what types of what type of process would

Ordinance watching the cca program and requesting formal membership in the program. Wed need to revise our Implementation Plan to add the new community and the signature page and we formally add a new director to our board of directors from that community so that they can sit on the board and participate in Decision Making and policy setting going forward. So, thats the process thats set up for affiliate members. I should also mention at the point for that membership occurs there are no other costs that the community is asked to pay for. At that point m Kirk Kerkorian mce takes care of all the marketing procurements, reserve cost of all those costs recovered by mce after membership occurs. So, i just want to emphasize that i spelled out the process for smaller communities. The process for a Larger Community may be different, may be more costly, but thats something that our board would likely be willing to take up if a formal request was made. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, wed like to ope
