Deaths remain high, 113, the death toll overall stands at 9500. The new case increase is the lowest it has been in nearly a month. The number might be skewed because county Health Officials say technical issues leading to underreporting across the state. Greg lee is joining us with the impact this might be having with numbers. Greg . Several counties have placed disclaimers on there covid19 numbers over the last few days. One doctor says the reason for the issues might be just how much data these labs are trying to process at once. For the past few days, the state system, we have discovered some discrepancies. Reporter a recent drop in covid19 cases could be due, at issues. Dr. Mark galli acknowledged problems with cal ready, the acknowledged reporting system, resulting in underreporting positive cases. They are concerned, just like we are. We have been in communication about what these discrepancies are, how we might improve them. Reporter he did not say how many days had been impacte
After Daily White House press briefing, the chairman of the counsel of economic advisers discussed the september jobs report, and how the Government Shutdown affected the u. S. Economy. Thank you, jay. This morning we found out the economy added 148,000 jobs in the month of september. The Unemployment Rate ticked down to 7. 2 , and those are both part of the steady threeyear trend of job creation and reduction in the Unemployment Rate. Theres no question, though, that that pace of job creation is below what we can be fully satisfied with, and that the conversation wed like to be having is a conversation about how to add to jobs. Instead what we did in october was selfinflicted wound that will subtract from jobs when we eventually learn the jobs number for october. Normally, economists love jobs day, the most recent, fresh look at the jobs in the economy, but this was delayeded by several weeks, and as a result covers data from september, which was before the significant changes that ha
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
