Item 6 other commission business. Commissioners . Hearing none, item 7 report of general manager good afternoon, commissioners like to first give an update on the drought. Good afternoon steve just a minute general manager for water can i have the slides the update on those the drought and the actions for the exclamation for us first, the storage level is looking good the water bank is 4 hundred plus bank a fair amount of water in the system the rest of the slides will retail use this if you look at another reservoirs around the state theyre looking at for drought and cumulative permission is up states gums and the snow make not as average weve done better on precipitation but better in the last few years your forecast water available for the city continues to climb again nine hundred and 22 thousand acres that is available for the city last year, we only have 50 and the year before that one hundred thousand thats the water that allows us to refill the water bank thats critical and on the hetch hetchy again those funds were above average and same on the local front a lot of precipitation particularly in march well above normal for the local reservoirs are doing quite well on total deliveries available were doing a great job of conserving that is based on temperature and i want to talk about the state regulatory action that acted last wednesday and in the regulations through january 2017 directed this executive order that we need to be prepared for next year being a bad year weve not completely out of the woods and the prohibition this is a temporary prohibition and make these permanent use of water 3 is no irrigations run off and no outside hoses and water in restaurant served on request they came up with the unique approach to how to look at whether or not those had enough water for the agencies we have plenty of water shouldnt have to have the regulation an conservatism for the consuming of precipitation and 20162017 in the 20132014 basically enough water to get to the next 3 years the state will not need a regulatory act but if you dont have enough whether or not that shortfall how you set our commercialism level of course, this presumes your zero water at the end of the 3 years our official way of looking at if it theres enough water so if we took that action we basically have that analysis not a shortfall for the state board look at but you know our storage is not done totally one bank will for the completely fill up and dont know about next year to the analysis is not a good thing may not be over like a ohio at that time but we propose to move before where the state had the regulations in system wide voluntary reductions of temple percent and reduce the retail customer use from thirty to 10 percent, with the excise tax and the interruptables for everyone and reduce the irrigation from mandatory 25 percent to voluntary charge and modify the statewide restrictions we have already in place thats a prudent case Going Forward and at the next week meeting well formalize those recommendations into our Drought Program Going Forward to this year certainly it is off a little bit but we still need to conserve but looking at the next slide that like that cross the middle is 200 and 2 gallons blow the 2013 that is achieving the water use reduction in the 2013 it is below that were talking about easing off on commercialism but a demand we know that get that right and carry it forward so people dont go froifk and take effect well not see a big rebound it is a prudent measure to stay another that point ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Questions. Thank you Public Comment . Please good afternoon, commissioners nicole ceo i just wanted to get up and speak on the item in support of recommended staff approach of the continuation for the 10 percent reduction i too agree with mr. Richie that that is a prudent approach given where were at it will not fill maybe were in a long dry period thats the approach that we talked about i think that is consistent with sending the message to the member agencies thank you thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Next general manager item please. Barbara hale. Good afternoon, commissioners barbara hale general manager for power i have 3 general deputies and second a little bit of a highlight on a grant were precipitating in and finally charles will talk about the Community Plan on general update were continuing to serve 4 three hundred customers with new locations our opt out ate is one percent now but still very low i mentioned at the last session were incorporating hetch hetchy into the portfolio with our sf cleanpowersf customers that represents 28 percent of the customers coming if hetch hetchy and were continuing to sign up customers for the august deadline in order to receive service from us in november we have three hundred and 70 folks with raised their hands wanting to be part of program and 70 percent are signing up for supergreen with respect to the grant opportunity i mentioned were praent with the department of the environment and a grant that allows us if we prevail to provide some interesting programming for the cleanpowersf Customer Base with a u. S. Department of transportation smallest city Grant Application the city named one of 7 finalist for the Smart Program that makes us eligible up to 70 o 40 million if were successful we will be manufactured with department of the environment and the transportation sfmta and as well as ourselves the paul allen bulk piece is a parallel offering where the Paul Allen Foundation is putting up an additional 10 million that portion is intended to focus on zero emission vehicles and Vehicle Electrification with the goal of decashtion were well positions to particle in this the 234i679 that will be including that are being included in the grant proposal that involves of puck r puc are the tariff for the cleanpowersf program and something i mentioned in prior reports were preparing for your consideration, were also participating in the evaluation of opposition to help to facility plug in electric vehicles and propose a pilot that includes financial incentives and financial mechanisms for bill financing for example, for electric Vehicle Infrastructure for the customers were also collaborating with through this grant with proposing to collaborative with Lawrence National lab and pg e and berkley that will help us with the electrical Vehicle Infrastructure and the senate it way and opportunities through this grant to work with the private sector and partner an electric vehicles charging for multi unit dwellings and one hundred percent with the bulk as part of Housing Market to help with the infrastructure and were proposing to develop a modesty fleet plugin vehicles policy that increases the pucs electric sales in San Francisco so if we prevail in this Grant Application we do the proportion of the Fund Proposed to the puc to fund staff working on those related Program Areas to try to booster that area with the cleanpowersf offerings so if no questions for me ill turn to charles. Yeah. On that 28 percent of power from hetch hetchy. Yes. Whats the plan moving forward that we get a local build out to replace that power or you know were able to sell it on the retail market. The plan typed it has been that if we have hetch hetchy power available and a need in the cleanpowersf portfolio weve purchase it a winwin for the hetch hetchy and our cleanpowersf side because of our opt out rate is so much lower than favored we need to have more power than we planned for it is helpful to have hetch hetchy thats why were relying on it right now the plan Going Forward will be to replace that power with Third Party Sources either because were doing local bill or procuring more from the third party private sector bidders that participated in our rfp okay. Advance calendar update was some comments on the project ive been interested in certainly tying the go solar into cleanpowersf and kind of laid out what youre doing take a while for all the hoops give me a thumb nail of the process. So were looking for integration is how to modify the incentives that are embedded in the go Solar Program to extend them to the cleanpowersf customers and to provide more of an incentive to participate in cleanpowersf through the go Solar Program so what we have a meeting im not or the date but a data soon that will be to discuss the proposal with the broader Stakeholder Community theyve been participating in the go solar completion implementations and a lot of interest from that community and seeing how we can integrate and hopefully sort of leverage the Market Opportunity i expect there will be a lot of ideas expressed how we can take the cleanpowersf Communications Plan and integrate go solar into it to help booster the sales of one time to capture a lot of folks that are interested in clean power and using solar at the overall billing experience with the interslar it is cheaper. Ill be looking for i cant really see any reason why there wouldnt be a direct tie if youre go solar customer that should involved a good part of cca so any deviation ill be looking for discussion. Were definitely excluding that in the dialogue the idea that participation and go solar is depending upon cleanpowersf and well see what sort of reactions from the community of interest. And there is a situation where some people dont have that available to them yet i think the solution is simple you know they will agree they would be part of cca what and if it is available to them. Were using the term enrollment i report to you every week with the folks that signed up to participate theyve not our customers yet but the level of requirement we were describing i think that is consistent with what youve asked us to discuss with them. Okay. Thank you. Other comments any Public Comment on this item . If i may bring up charles to report on the cleanpowersf communications component. Absolutely mr. Sheen welcome. Good afternoon, commissioners charles acting decorate for the puc identify got a few new items to update you on and give you a general picture how were doing with the outreach and approval of the draft minutes towards the august enrollment since the earth day weeks ago weve have successes of signing you up but we found in the earth day weekend working with the 350 volunteers from the earth day fair on that weekend we pulled in 67 sign ups on monday alone and at the other fairs we did about 10 over the earth day week timeframe and averaged 90 sgrr folks so Going Forward well have 350 sf volunteers on june 12th, july 10th august 21st and september we are glad do have the Community Partners that increase the presence at the fairs and events this summer right now, were using the mayors arithmetic day with the out takes and video a social media on facebook not paid and paid and targeting various members on the social community and people that be on sf water power and sewer page asking to sign up for sgrr we talked about the numbers and seeing new signups in the part of this as well as we prepare for august hiring more entrylevel assistants and going to the process well be staffed appropriately when we enroll the customers 2, 3, 4 august were talking about thousands and thousands of acted that is different from the last enrollment and much less many more customers merry megawatt as compared to commercial and then the big move identify talked about it were working with the department of the environment using they are team to do some door to door neighborhood cabling and campusing and door to door in august targeting residential customers specifically asking him to update or sign up early sgrr for our residential customers for this fall enforcement period. Those are the Major Updates so if any questions. Curious about sierra club because they were Telegraph Hill involved have you been helping with sign ups. Theyve helped there have staff we want to do the joint marital to reengage on the dialogue we need to reengage with them. It would be good they were trying to take advantage of that opportunity. Sure any other questions or comments thank you very much. Very exciting Public Comment . Hello mr. Freed hi jason fried, executive officer i hadnt intended to speak but i agree the best approach how to do that is were not there are anyone that gets go solar fund should be agreeing to be in the next phase or how far in advance automatically theyll be part of this and not opt out of the program thats the smart approach and good use within the puc money once we get a Larger Program go solar will be one of the first go solar fund that will be clearly dedicated towards the customers i want to encourage but want to make sure youre not forgetting about the po u customers to get go solar and should as long as were not fothd about the po u customers and i know that speaking away from any day job as the person of the customers i am trying to figure out how to get our building go solar so hopefully keeping that available for everybody within the sfpuc at some level.
