Directly earlier last month but i havent had a call since then. The simplest way to put this, the one thing i heard i think you answered the question. As we move forward what im proposed is not a delay. 23 weeks is not going to destroy the planet. If there is no common ground, i get that and then im ready to vote. I this i the answer is there is opportunities for everybody to look at this as a job and environmental benefit. I dont think that recs even in the shortterm accomplish that. Thank you. Just a question, commissioner term with your dialogue with labor here, former commissioner, sir but not a witness. If we were actually to continue a program that didnt include recs, is that mean there would be more labor support . Look, the one thing that i did here that was positive that i considered to be very positive is the possibility of using hedgeey power, its by local members. We absolutely support that. We support similar kinds of sourcing. Does labor support condition on not having an ....
Said that consistently until the point that he retired. What was passed by the board last september was not a recs based program. Recs are energy, they dont create energy, they are not renewable in the sense that energy is not generated through recs. In fact, we, the ibw and labor in general has worked very hard to eliminate recs as much as we can because they dont produce electricity. In california where we have 20 percent of our energy coming from renewable sources currently and we are on our way to 33 percent, we dont need recs. They are not a viable approach. I must say we we were surprised when this proposal actually came through. Recs dont contribute to work and jobs. As was mentioned the city is already generating electricity renewable locally and the information you heard in terms of commitment to local build out, we are now part of the San FranciscoLabor Council which ....
David. Al left. Thank you. Im sue. First of all i want to agree with miss vetore. I think this is a global issue. We have a very sad i think lack of reducing emissions globally and i think as americans and especially san franciscans as we tend to lead the state and the country and the world we need to stop global emissions. I did calculations for expenses. For 2013, the Median Income is 71,000. Average rate in San Francisco one bedroom 2500 per month. If you take this out and subtract the state taxes for irs you get this income. If you have rent. Its a 30,000 per year, rent, you subtract 30,000 from 53,000. You still have 23,000. I do well, 17,000 i eat almost organic food. You still have 6,000 left in a year. This is what you could be paying for things like pg e. I have 50 for pg e. I can pay a thousand percent more for my pg e bill and my expenses would not exceed my income. ....
Happens. Supervisor avalos. Thank you very much. I have a question of the witness . Hes not a witness. Mr. Stern, miss malcolm indicated that you havent gotten back to her regularly as expected. I had a conversation with ken paulson, he didnt indicate that he had a chance to speak with miss malcolm. She and i did have a chance to speak directly earlier last month but i havent had a call since then. The simplest way to put this, the one thing i heard i think you answered the question.

Actually came through. Recs dont contribute to work and jobs. As was mentioned the city is already generating electricity renewable locally and the information you heard in terms of commitment to local build out, we are now part of the San FranciscoLabor Council which approved a resolution and i did author it that supports Community Choice aggregation because it has to be done in a way to support workers. We are going to support workers but those elements are not yet in the plan and we will and we promised before and well promise here today to continue to work and make sure that happens. Supervisor avalos. Thank you very much. I have a question of the witness . Hes not a witness. Mr. Stern, miss malcolm indicated that you havent gotten back to her regularly as expected. I had a conversation with ken paulson, he didnt in ....
