Order. Last hearing of the year here. Theres a lot going on this morning, so i think we will have people popping in and out, but we do have a pretty hard stop at 11 00 this morning. Weve got a series of votes that are beginning at 11 00, and we are going to observe an actual 10 minute clock, we are told. It will be the first time in senate history, but that is the goal this morning. So we want to be able to hear from everyone this morning and have an opportunity for the very, very, very important conversations regarding this issue. We are here to discuss the impact of wildfires on the reliability of our electric rate and efforts to mitigate wildfire risk and increase great grid resiliency. In recent years, devastating wildfires and electricity blackouts in california have drawn National Attention to the challenge of maintaining grid resiliency in the face of extreme conditions. Tragically, we remember last years camp fire, the deadliest and most destructive fire in california history,
Members of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commissions jurisdiction and are not on todays agenda. Mr. Acosta, good afternoon. Commissioner paulson is joining us.

Finally, a broader perspective for some other problematic updates. We want to acknowledge the great work happening here and this summer we celebrated the eighth year of the city works internship program. Since it started in 2012, they provided a paid internship to young adults between 16 and 19. This summer we had 15, supported by 8 program partners, in which my previous employer use to be one. Thats my engagement with the program. This is one more example on how were trying to leverage our Infrastructure Investments into our youths in the community. Special thanks to Young Community developers, and ms. Lopez for managing this program. So this concludes our presentation for s. S. I. P. Any questions . Im glad to take them and i can roll through the Quarterly Report as well. Thank you very much, pretty good for the first time.
