Good morning. So this meeting will now come to order. Today the subcommittee is holding a hearing entitled oversight of doe, during covid19 pandemic. Members will be participating in todays hearing finally in person or remotely via video conferences. And just as a reminder weve had some technical difficulties in making sure that our remote video was operating up to standard. As part of this hearing, the microphones of members participating remotely will be set on mute for the purpose of eliminating inadvertent background noise. Members participating remotely will need to unmute their microphones each time you wish to speak. For members and witnesses participating in person, i encourage you to wear your mask whenever you are not speaking. Dr. Monahan, our physician, stressed in attending physician covid19 guidelines that use of face coverings is meant to protect other people in case someone was unknowingly infected and does not have symptoms. But wearing our mask when we are not speakin
During which time the issues of concern to both sides would be negotiated. The issues since the egyptians first came out with the initiative, that is the only part that has been contentious, what are the issues on the agenda . The ceasefire proposal that secretary kerry put in place was essentially an operationalization of the the egyptian initiative. In terms of the things that needed to be addressed. Issues of freedom of movement of people and goods in and out of gaza. Whether the fishermen could use the waters out to the limit. Whether the farmers could operate in what was referred to as the buffer zone. I believe that all of those questions are on the agenda in cairo, together with, although it is not mentioned in the latest version of the egyptian initiative, there is a general reference to security. I believe the israelis will bring to the table there demand that in return for conceding some of these issues, the egyptians themselves are going to have to agree to open, which they
~ i know in the program ms. Hale had up about hetch hetchy power, showed basically a net zero gain to San Francisco. There are potentially other gains to the city and county of San Francisco and thats one of the issues of the rfp is to look at both in terms of jobs and impacts to the economy. And i will also say that even within our own cleanpowersf program right now, some of those costs are discretionary in terms of local buildout. So, what we were looking for if our consultant is to talk to us a little about given the new financing projections from sfpuc, what kinds of rate structure could we look at in terms of dealing with hetch hetchy purchases that might provide zero or potentially some positive numbers. So, the important dates of the rfp was posted on february 20th. We will have a preproposal conference on march 12th. And the due date is march 27th. On term of the tasks, we dont yet have dates about when tasks are due because that will be a result of the proposals that we receiv
Again, because it will bring future revenue possibilities to the sfpuc. On the rfp itself, we want to make sure that we want to again thank staff for being very good about working with the community and really changing that rfp a lot so we reflected more what the community was looking for and the robustness for the kind of program were working for. However, i would still say that the advocate Community Still wants something that pushes the envelope a little more than the rfp suggest, especially on selecting sites. We kind of got word from staff that we would downgrade the necessity of selecting sites beyond those that have already been identified by their sfpuc and sf environment. That wasnt what we were asking for. We were asking for a Site Selection for a Site Selection citywide to be completed. Thats going to need to be done if were going to be able to do a proper program. So, lets, as we roll this rfp process forward, lets make sure that were pushing the envelope on getting Somethi

So, lets, as we roll this rfp process forward, lets make sure that were pushing the envelope on getting Something Big enough that will get us 50 clean energy ~. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, i will start where mr. Brooks left off, which is 50 clean energy, 50 of our energy load within 10 years. That was what was originally envisioned in the w
