Thank you. Thank you very much, supervisor breed. My name is Laurie Mitchell and i manage the Renewable Energy group at sfpuc and we have slidess on the ordinance here. Im not sure if you can see it. There is something there we go. Really what were trying to do with this ordinance is to look forward and to expand on the success of the gosolarsf program to include additional programs such as rebates for electric Vehicle Infrastructure, Energy Storage and to expand upon our energyefficiency programs. So the new programs, as well as the current gosolarsf program is funded by the cleanpowersf and hetch hetchy power ratepayers. The agenda of what well cover today.

Both programs seek continue vest in local programs and projects such as energyefficiency, storage, ev charging and affordable, cleaner, climateresponsibility electricity and to inv
