To those comments . No, i think you just said they would request the City Attorney to draft something, to that certainly would have been the supervisors purview. Well, he quoted on an ordinance which was in conflict of what she said earlier . In the charter which governs the rate setting process, it sits, one of the responsibilities of the puc is establishes rates to have financial needs of the system and we interpret that as the policy maker, the board of supervisors have provided the cleanpowersf system and its your responsibility to set the rates for it, and if you do not set the rates, that could be an example of you not carrying out the charter mandate. Established does not mean monday, does it. The statute says you should establish rates, im no lawyer, but i would say that sounds pretty clear to me. It would be clearer fw thats shall, not just establish. Of course we can leave it up to the lawyers to word smith it, i believe the intent of the voters its not up to word smiting, th
California, but we need to be sure that that work is here and its in front of us, and we will continue to work with our colleagues, brothers and sisters both in the Building Trades and here in the city and county of San Francisco through a variety of Community Based organizations to get people back to work. Finally, weve had ive been fortunate to participate in some discussions around the Labor Council resolution. That is a resolution that represents all of labor, ibw1245 wholly supports that resolution, we were the author, we support the intent, we and the council want to work out an understanding and approach that makes good for everyone. Weve had some good conversation, well continue to have those conversations but the contract and the structure of the program as it is today is not satisfactory. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Stern. Rob black, ggra. Good afternoon, commissioner, its a pleasure to be here n a previous life, i am the executive director to have golden gate restaur
Of what has taken place in the past . Yes, sir. Thank you very much. Well proceed to Public Comment on the motion before us, first i would like to call on jeremy pollock whos a legislative aid to avalos who i presume could not be here today. Thats correct, good afternoon, chair torres, commissioner, thanks for the opportunity to speak, supervisor avalos regrets he couldnt be here, i urge you to approve these not to exceed rates, a majority of the board approved this almost a year ago, we approved their contract knowing we were contracting for shell for a short term, 4 and a half Year Contract to initiate cleanpowersf, at the time the proposed rates were significantly higher and we had fewer [inaudible] buildout rate, if you have any question about that, there is one way to find out of the boards opinion, approve the rate and is we have 30 days to weigh in.

They joined the navy so they could divert the draft. Did you think about that .

I think i knew that i could have gone into the military and i wouldnt have been sent to the frontline. I might have been sent to vietnam but by that time it was more the symbolism of it. I knew that i did not want to support that war. Host zero you know a lot of young people our age, black people our age at that time had difficulty reconciling or not having all the rights that whites had and then serving this country and taking a risk. Mohammed ali. Guest if i was going to fight for democracy i would have done it in mississippi and alabama. I didnt have to go 10,000 miles to fight for democracy. Host did you ever think ab

So they get a report on it goes away. But this commission is supposed to put the facts on top of the table and then its future would depend on what i found out, how aggressive it was and what the public thought about what they were doing. Said this was initially set up as a temporary commission . Just go right it came the year before the little rock crisis.
