To item a . Weve already move order to item b were still on. Item 3. We can go to that section if you have a question about it. I just have a quick question. Do we know how many additional people have enrolled in clean power sf i know that we have the signup active on our web site. I have not checked it recently so i can come back to you with that answer. Okay, next month i dont know if its possible to just, as more people are hearing about clean power sf and the web site is up and active and the sign up is working, if we could just get an update if we have people that are signing up as well. Youre right, commissioner, we can make that part of our regular report. Thank you. Okay, this item we can open up for Public Comment. Any public who would like to comment, please come forward. Good afternoon, commissioners, eric brooks, San Francisco green party local organization our city and San Francisco clean energy advocates. First want to thank sfpuc staff for accelerating the rate, the not
And jason and the stake holders. Thank you. Great, thank you. Miss hale theres been some activity at the california puc that we wanted to report on. You will recall i have reported a number of times now on their activities with respect to pg es green tariff application. They issued their decision, the cpuc, california puc, issued their decision in late january and that decision was forth the schedule for pg e to file their advice letters, which are the implementation filings that the utilities make after the California Commission tells them what they have authority to do. And that advice letter, pg e will be providing more specificity around a number of the programs features including final rates for the program that they are planning to launch. The sdis, i spoke to some important issues but also deferred a number of issues. For example, the Community Outreach and strategy for engaging low income customers, i think thats an important issue for San Franciscos interest. Options for makin
Been working on this, is that the type of things that in their Solar Shares Program and their Efficiency Program that the department of the environment have been working on are the type of build out that we have been asking for all this time. Its very important for the board to give direction to the sfpuc and sf environment to maximize the local build out of these behind the meter resources and the one thing i heard thats a bit of concern is that everyone seems to be depending on staff on the funds we get from pg e. We want funding to come directly from the program for energy efficiency, not just the pg e funds. That will open it up a lot more. We need the lafco and the board to give direction on that as well. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, commissioners, jed holtman, 350 San Francisco. I would also like to thank staff for making this move forward. Its really great to have all of these dates when actual important things are going to happen. I would really like to thank the puc
With them, we receive funds once a year. We dont have a process to go back to the city and county and say, oops, we need supplemental funds. There isnt something in the process right now that allows us to occur. So what does this mean for our budget. We currently have a annual budget of 297,303. That amount was established. We had different amounts in Previous Years but working with the Clerks Office we determined that was our fiscally responsible number that we can be requesting. For the last 7 years we have been returning that full allocation, reserving our right to it as we spend down our reserves. Early years of that was the big downturn in the economy where there were huge budget deficits. That went back to the clerk . It went back to the city and county of San Francisco. I understand the city and county of San Francisco deals with this item. Excuse me a second, if the people in the back of the room could keep their voices down, its distracting. Thank you. The city and county, fro
Community choice so we need to get our rates out and reported in the papers before then so the board needs to be able to take action before then. That also gets to the legislation you were discussing about the charter and other things. We need the board to go ahead, someone on the board to go ahead and move the legislation to committee so that by the time the sfpuc is done doing its work the legislation will be ready to move forward instead of getting a delay. Our timeline cant afford any delays when weve got a competitor like pg e breathing down our necks. So in my final minute i want to talk about the Energy Efficiency and the relationship with San Francisco department of environment. This is a crucial relationship and this really gets to what the advocates have been asking for the entire decade or more weve been working on this, is that the type of things that in their Solar Shares Program and their Efficiency Program that the department of the environment have been working on are t
