Item number 3 the communities choice aggregation Choice Committee report. See if this works. Good afternoon, commissioners michael the director of chief of Police Program for the Public UtilitiesCommission Im here on behalf of the general manager hale. And ms. Hale wanted me to say shes sad to miss that meeting we working closely with you over the years ms. Hale in particular to develop and launch the chief of Police Program and on behalf of ms. Hale thank you for your leadership in getting the program launched with respect to the update on the program the cleanpowersf Program Continues to successfully serve customers we have not stopped operations since the last time we met and we continue to enroll the customers during the moss month of november chief of police enrolled many brotherinlaw accounts in the central parts of the city supervisorial districts 7 and 8 as of this week cleanpowersf is serving many active customers the program opt out rate including the november enrollment is 2 percent. And the clean power sf has over seven hundred supergreen customers enrolled that represents a bit modern 2 percent of Customer Base so we have a raise between supergreen and opt out and supergreen is winning. Good to hear whats our goal for. We have a target of 5 percent. We also continue to receive sign ups for the next sign up in the spring as of this week 200 and 55 new signups and 77 percent are supergreen signups. Will this get us to what percentage. In between. About 2. 3 percent if we account for weve got a lot more work to do but well be focusing on until another major enforcement for that the updates of the 77 plus thousand customers a lot of the potential weve been seeing weekly you understand on the order of 20 to one hundred customers and promoting the supergreen we definitely think we can get there and hopefully next year. Well hold to you it. Sounds good. It is something id like to be held to. And so on the outreach front i mentioned were seeing strong sign up for intra has to do with with the activities you may have seen the cleanpowersf to took over the space point muni station and advertising on muni bus shetland in the enrollment area and focusing on upgrading the supergreen and were also he hosting welcome events and we host your first welcome event on monday night at the africanamerican Cultural Center and the next event will be this sunday at 9 amputee eureka and the goal to be very available for the community we recorded in the past that cleanpowersf and the staff are working hard on a program gross land weve potentially launched phase one and two more months on our Enrollment Period for the november enforcement and were setting our sites to scale the Program Citywide the plan will focus think an examination and better understanding the electricity and our outcome for the next several years our city demand and Revenue Opportunities is going to address and this is really a key part of that the financing needs for the program how were going to scale up our power and they then to establish the operational readiness and support of an expanded program and what were talking about today, were serving 10 to 15 percent of the size of the city and county of San Francisco about it is potentially about an 8 fold increase in size. Im going to move to the regulatory updates unless you have questions about the material and were good thank you. Were approaching the end of the calendar year and what that means for us the cpuc will be issuing the rates in particular the pc i a and filing the comments with the city and joining others. Ccas. Been joint filings together. Given pg e proposal and forecast cleanpowersf may have a small bill increase relative to the pg e service at least until the next pg e change we expect the march to may of next year and expecting to build some kind of a compensation in the rates that bring that increase down a little bit so just to be clear that means that cleanpowersf rates will be lower than pg e generation rates by the overall bill impact to the cca customers maybe higher sth were expecting a final cca decision on the 15 of december and that will support the pg e rates Going Forward. So this activity the cpuc preceding is implementing previous policy and guidance on how to circulate the p cia is a formula with a little bit of ability within the scope to influence the changes how they do that a top regulatory initiate of the cpuc and the cleanpowersf to reform to move changes to the pcia and in response to last years response the puck established a working group that involves the investor and utilities to come together over 6 month period to discuss options for reforming the p cia the staff are participating in the progress weve heard productions ive heard preview conversations where submitting proposals for that process the working group is are charged with presenting a report to the cpuc by the middle 2017 and the idea their proposal will then serve as the basis for the proceeding so it is a little bit of kick the can down the road but this is the cpuc the way the cpuc does business so we are looking at alternatives ways considering legislative strategies as well wraps up my update. You, you, you kind of answered my questions theyre in the process of perhaps can be created to go from a formula to some legislative or policy way of adjusting the pcia from the outside of the cpuc there is an attempt to do that is there in the inside of the cpuc any place for our seat to take hold to find purchase. There is definitely an openness to hearing the cpuc concerns and trying to address them within their statutory restrictions there is a language in the law today that cpuc that guided the actions in the past the question within that existing legal requirement what kind of flexibility the cpuc has to make reform and so i think that the perspective they have and the working group is very much looking at the Technical Details with the cpuc. What can be done one of the Biggest Challenges right now, were on an annual cycle where around this time of year we expect a decision that sets the cpuc for the following year and that volatility is very disruptive so one of the strong proposals i think that quite reasonable to create more of a forecast and create stability year after year instead of the volatility weve seen and there is an openness to that kind of thing when it comes to funneling changing the mechanism that the cpuc used to insure a nonparticipating customer in the process so that the exercises that are not in the system dont bear the costs that and may have to be dlon a legislative action wear thinking of ways to do that. To what extent does the cpuc work for the cca versus major utilities is it set up to provide some level of support for utilities it seems like over cpuc. The cpuc works for the repairs which includes utility rate repairs and the cca commercials were talking about are the same repairs thats one of the message to the cpuc to remember that they also represent the cca repairs. We dont have the ability to influence legislative judges in the commissioners the way that the utilities. We have to do that through the public process and through stronger argumentation and over the history of the p cia the city has not been opposed to the concept of protecting the repairs there are nonparticipating san franciscans out there but clearly what the important to make sure the process is transparent and fair and compliant with the law that kind of standoff can be buried in the details will there are ways to disrupt the projects we need to be aware of its definitely something were knowing the cpuc is watching over the process i think sort of as the cpuc movement is growing statewide i think that is really in our favor when it comes to pushing significant reform either way the policymakers and the regulators have to deal with the fact there are expensive contract that has been signed and so this the tough issue just to be clear and we think there can be positive change and in for the at the cpuc potentially through legislation. Great, thank you. Other questions mr. Fried and jason fried, executive officer just wanted to chime in on a couple of update as the cpuc is doing great work with the Business Plan and looking forward to seeing the final version next year when necessary have the plan rolled out for the process to be done quicker good ideas how to do that and looking forward to that 2015 on the cpuc discussion were up having i potentially are a darker view how the pauksz treats the customers not as fairly as they need to be treated they protect the bundled customers to the disadvantages of other customers we need to talk about there as was stated basically the same customer and should be protected equally we need to make sure we are doing that up to this point the cpuc comments especially some of the commissioners they talk about protecting the customers not realizing we need to do more to cat them to protect the other customers so come next year as lafco stays involved ill be continuing as to write letters or opposition whatever to make sure were protecting the cpuc customers with the bundled customers of benjamin those are my ill be again get a chance to attend the event he encourage anyone that has thoughts or questions you have youll your experts sitting in one room it is great for the public to show up people were fed and will be fed at the sunday morning i encourage the folks to show up this morning will and really ask tour tough questions all the experts will be in the room ill be there and 4re7b8dz a hand to the cause and hope youll attend that thats all i have for any portions. Great no other questions thank you for your report. Mr. Fried and go to Public Comment any member of the public that wants to rush the podium to say. Few words about this. Hello chair avalos and commissioners jeff from the bay area i guess i would say that the idea that some period of time were trying to immoral the customers program that the bills will be higher than pg e for the Standards Services obviously is bad news and were working against i think this illustrates the need for City Government to work aggressively to defend and build and protect cleanpowersf it is great to me as a Community Advocate to continue for lafco Going Forward as this clearly is not a federal issue business cleanpowersf has been launched ultimately all 3 owes is expected to be transitioning to the cpuc and 1 or 2 will be a majority the current chair or president of the cpuc michael ticker has referred to the Community Choices as a collective this was or less while serving in that office you you think from the outside it appears to us the cpuc allows the iou to pass theyre able to reduce their electricity given what is going on in their market they shouldnt be able to be put in a bad position with our rates i want in support of cpuc and the board of supervisors and lafco in taxiing whatever stems necessary to make sure this program succeeds and not get thank you if there are no other member of the public to rush the podium for Public CommentPublic Comment is closed. And go on to the next item. Item four honoring john aval avalos. Madam chair. Im the chair now so i did not have anything prepared to say i understand we are at our last meeting with our current chair chair avalos and commissioner mar and commissioner campos we wanted to take the time to honor their work here on lafco and i believe that we have id like to say a few comments ill allow any colleagues to have comments first, i know that chief executive officer jason fried has some thoughts. Yeah. For each of you, we have resolutions and proclamation for you similar on a nature although difference a lot of the work you worked so well as a team it was hard to distinguish youre responsible for one or another part but because of your ability to work as a team thats one of the things that means something to me personally for the 3 of i it was xrefsz maybe a discernment outside of lafco put that aside and understand the importance of lafco working on the cleanpowersf program and some of the other Waste Management in the city or mou how elections get run in the city you put those it didnt make any differences behind when i sat down to write the resolutions i couldnt figure out how to write them on that note he will read some of the individual clauses as to the resolution so youre aware of the individual supervisor avalos served with lafco into 2012 and severed as vice chair in 2012 a good Training Course to become chair lets see you were also the chair of the commission when the citys Aggregation Program was launched youll be the last chair and chairing this body when we started to serve customers thats exactly what lafco was set up to do to get public elected and the cca program implement in the city and county. I appreciate that but the claim of launching cleanpowersf has been done by a member no longer here and thats why i said you were physically chair when if launched the physical launch any differences between each of you so on the noted i wanted to say thank you very much for your hard working and yield to the other commissioners and why not call 5 and 6 together as well. Okay. So well do all at once. Madam clerk call items 5 and 6 youve called 4. I had to ask that. Thats right laughter . You had and item 5 is a resolution honoring david campos and item 6 eric mar. For commissioner campos your individual depictions you served for two consequence years as well as vice chair in 2010 and the chair that the cpuc at the time was Ed Harrington agreed to launch the program and the chair to get the sfpuc to launch a Program Granted hips after that but physically the chair when that action occurred and so with that, we want to say thank you for your your serves services ill give you my personal thoughts i was very a. D. Mirrored how you were able to get the general manager to have a long tedious process over the years you have a problem with that and went to every single item it was issued with the puc. Worked so see how wooul youll get to a Large Program wouldnt have been possible without the to this spot in the program to be launched i give you a lot of credit to get us to the point that sfpuc staff was maybe not supportive but get to the spot we have a program go to the public and say please join this program thank you to you and commissioner mar you get an interesting distinction youre the only lafco commissioner to leave the commission and come back laughter you are the only person to serve on 3 seats and switched to the alternative and left lafco and you missed us and did a different seat and served in 3 different seats at the lafco which is pretty expressive. It is i was looking at and seeing who was here the longest i forgot to mention commissioner campos from the board of supervisors to serve on lafco and but youve served longer than may board of supervisors and commissioner avalos your shortly behind you got a point a month earlier but the election he beat you out by one month. Weve talked about that and will next thursday. So the 3 proclamations ill be happy to give to you when we are done but go back to you folks to have the discussion about each other. Id like to say a few words i think for me in the public seat it has been a learning experience for me on local Agency Formation commission and the 3 of you have been mentors to me i think that lafco is very different from other commissions or id like say the committees that our part of and the board of supervisors because this is like geeky behind the scenes not a lot of fanfare and other stuff its within an honor to work alongside you and want to say a few things chair avalos and you know in addition to being you know a friend and someone that i look up to been a mentor and you know knowledge believing i can be a part of something bigger in terms of cleanpowersf and bringing me into the vice chair role youve never backed down from launching cleanpowersf youve never stopped thinking about the Environmental Review and the benefit of having cleanpowersf in San Francisco and what that meant for the ccas in the state and then youve always looked for opportunity to expand the program listening in the advocates and working with the specifically with ted olsen he discovered the oil field in the community and looking at it as a way to stop the Oil Production and creating a solar farm that would be part of the do you believe the way you blocked for opportunities to grow the program and how your work on the board of supervisors and the city and Just Environment and commissioner campos i wanted to say i learned a lot from you in terms of the way you cross examine people you are
