Foray voiding irreversible warming globally. Weve been asked by you to act like our house is on fire. When you sit in your apartment and people have been yelling fire for a while, and you are smelling smoke, it doesnt make sense to say oh, weve wet down 25 of our wall space and were in better shape than our neighbor who is asleep. It wont do. You need to grab a bucket. We need ordinances for prohibition on all new construction. We badly need requirements that new construction at least be electric ready. Supervisor yee thank you. Next speaker. Hello, my name is connie cox and im here from my company youth. I was here a couple months ago. I am an inventor and i couldnt bring my board in because it was bigger than the display board than what you allow in here so im going to see if i could get it up stairs. My whole premise of my business was to help raise funds kind of like our state lottery does. I cant do this without permission. I cant do this without a team. My games on bags really are a tremendous amount of games that you can use sensors, loyalty clubs and you could have competition between a High School Team or a football team. It could be incorporated into the online games that people play with football. The one thing i really like about it is it lends itself to raising money for our problems. Case in point, some of our most needed Services Just are not affordable by our taxes. But maybe they would be affordable by our fund. I dont think this is disrupting our state lottery but it would enhance it just as i think the other things that go on like that might seem disruptive from it it would actually add another marketplace and the other side of the bag game could be actually played by a corporate sponsor or hershey or a big name like that. I hope im not in trouble for saying that. I really need to get up stairs to the environmental meeting and i heard my bell ring. I did leave information last time. Ive been trying to get a municipalities on board with this for a decade and a half. And i hope and pray we can get going. I can get a team going and you would be on it. Thank you so much and have a great rest of your meeting. Thank you. I also signed up to talk at the next issue. But i really want to get up to environmental. Supervisor yee thank you, next speaker. Thank you. Good evening, supervisors. Actually, we came here all the time and we are explaining our problems. So, i just want to talk today. City of the government and San Francisco they would like to help us and were not able to help you guys, were not coming anymore. You have to decide today what the City Government wants to do. Because we want the money back. Theres nothing to say. The cab business is so backed up. So we are not making money. We are in trouble. Please help us and give us money back. This is very openly, Everybody Knows we are here. We are speaking in a different language and different actions. I think it was a long time supervisor and Everybody Knows why we are here. Just give us a couple minutes, supervisor or board of members and tell us what they can do something for us. Thank you. Supervisor yee next speaker. Tom gilberty. Many joan of arcs we experience some of them today with the young woman. Also this morning, great greate witnessing another joan of arc. Not a hurricane but a Global Climate change is going to be a catastrophe for everybody. Not just the south but it will hit us too. I was here and i had my 65 chevy van and we need parking spaces. Supervised parking spaces. I agree, i hope we can get some of them. I chatted about little tommy and me going out and getting our a. K. 47s with 100 round clips and getting u us canadian geese. How about San Francisco, 11 supervisors, the mayor, our legislatures, sign a we ban assault rifles and semi automatic city. I we know hope other cities join in that the task force on street drugs. Lets provide a safe injection site with a doctor who can prescribe and supply safe drugs to the people on the streets. I hope thats part of the task force. Vapors, fracking, fracking where they stuff poisons on to the ground to get out the last of the gas is equal to vaping. What people are putting in their lungs. Its poison now. Right now we need an internal peace corp. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Mr. President , dually elected members dem, neighbor activist. I have praise for the work youve done but theres one little thing after the Global Climate change i have to add on my comments to. Looking on the darker side of it. If in deed we are facing what seems like a biblical plague of toxins, calamities overdoses, violence, suicides, taxicab woes, military oblivion, all of these things i am rof whe improe focus on Global Climate change. Its really our only way out. I dont think the city is there yet. I do think that we have yet to really get to a mind set change where wore really going to focus on it. You know, all the times that ive been up to the Planning Commission we always argue, we always complain were not allowed to bring up cumulative impact. Its the way it is with Climate Change. Were not allowed to talk about the cities total cumulative impact of carbon emissions. The emissions of the residentses and workers. The shipping on bunker oil from asia. The impact of our consumption. Where those emissions occurs industrial sites all over the world from our consumption many of the destruction of our biosphere right here in the bay and the sea. Those are all things that are creating emissions that narrow focus on just San Francisco missions leave out the Bigger Picture and our approach so far and were really just a basket case and it may be difficult with you we should engage it. The things that have come out about Climate Change is that were facing, for every tenth of an increase in Global Warming is accelerates the future warming and thats resinnance and constructive interference and think of the tacoma narrows bridge. Supervisor yee thank you. Next speaker. I was going to say the medallion issue obviously weighs disproportionately on the middle eastern and African American communities. In all of our major cities and out of the suspiciously high incidents there were 560 fix this is 2017 which speaks volumes at this point furthering local rent control has proven a political dead end. I would like to see or hope to see if at all possible two or three dumpsters obtained at a reasonable sound and standard rate to see them placed in the tenderloin by the local rev use Collection Company one weekend each month over several successes and local residents who may lack vehicles can safely unload their aging unsafe appliances, old mattresses, broken furniture, paint solvents and other items in mass. Ideally the Fire Department and local Police Cadets would oversee rev use disposal at the dumpster sites. To interact with them to get to the public in the process. And then if possible, id like to see the Fire Department carry out voluntary unit inspections for Carbon Monoxide detectors, smoke alarms and for the possibility of a discovering and tagging poorly functioning or faulty gas furnaces. This would familiarize the Fire Department with a general building interior layouts and if it was popular with the public, you might consider doing the same in china town and the bay view and the mission districts. Supervisor yee thank you. Any other Public Comments . Seeing none. Public comment is now closed. Madam clerk, please call the for Adoption Committee agenda items 2832. Clerk items 2832 were introduce a unanimous vote is required for resolutions on First Reading today otherwise a member may require a resolution to go to committee.

Phil arnold, our former colleagues, our hearts are broken for you monique. Supervisor yee that brings us to the end of our agenda. Madam clerk is there any further business before us today . That concludes our business for today. Supervisor yee thank you. We are adjourned. Ed liabilitiese do our lottery system. I wanted to enhance the lottery. I dont want to take away from the lottery. They started as lotto bags and lotto bag tags that can scan the bags. Competitions where you might have one city try to have more bag return done another city. Try to buy bags in support of causes. For instance, our cabdrivers. Maybe cancer. Maybe charitable organizations. I have pitched this to tran04 back in 2,006. The mayor should be on board with it, newsome should know about it. I forget her name, but anyhow, i am very interested in getting this off of the ground, and i want to get back to the corporations and the major stores and organizations that i spoke with before. I dont know who i would present to, because it is. I know i dont want it too upset too much. I wanted to enhance the friendly competition. I think it will happen. I left my business cards in the car, my number is 9254491658. There should also be some paperwork with my name on it from a past meeting that i have been to down at the board of supervisors as well as, you know the communications i have. I will be in touch with you shortly, if you have any brainstorms on how to make this right, again i dont want to upset other interests, i want to enhance and i want to make money as well. Call me. 9254491658. Use a bag, a lotto bags. Thank you so much. Anyone else . The next item is item six, presentation of a commission on the environment Environmental Service award to the San FranciscoInternational Airport. Commissioner chu has a great privilege of presenting our awards today. Environmental Service Award to the San FranciscoInternational Airport. Commissioner chu wrote a great piece on Greater Public and private partnerships when it comes to transportation solutions. Thank you for doing that. Thank you. Today it is my great honor to present the commission on the environmental environment Environmental Service award to San FranciscoInternational Airport where i was just at 45 minutes ago. [laughter] here to accept the award is aaron cook. Excellent. Our partner of the chief Administration Policy office department, excellent. Even better. Among the major International Airports come of the world has established itself as a climate pioneer in the their accomplishments include; sourcing Greenhouse Gas free electricity, long before most of their per competitors were thinking about this contributing to the airports Greenhouse Gas emissions reduction by 39 this past year. Reducing water usage for passengers 20 below 2013 levels. Becoming the first airport to ban single use plastic Water Bottles in august of 2019, and plastic food where and accessories in march. 16 leed certified projects on their campus with ten more registered to be certified under its current 7. 4 billion ascent program. Being one of the first users of blue planet concrete in the world during terminal one construction, which uses carbon aggregates to significantly reduce embodied carbons. The list goes on and on. Among city departments and facilities, it is unique and that it is the first place the city can make a great environmental First Impression on visitors. Visitors that are just transiting, and the only chance to make an environmental impression. That makes s. F. O. The ideal pace to demonstrate our stewardship to all corners of the world. Whether it is seeing solar panels from the air train, or buying aluminum water bottle for reuse instead of single use plastic Water Bottles. Those policies can drive awareness, and behavior change and shift cultural paradigm. Because they are a travel hub, cultural diffusion in the most modern sense. People expands on there and here they can take flight to the routine travel that happens every day at San FranciscoInternational Airport. Without i am pleased to join my colleagues and resenting you with the commission on the environment Environmental Service award. [applause] on behalf of our airport director we are honored to receive this award. We love working as part of our city and county family. Thank you. It is a really great honor. We are thrilled to be here amongst other awardees. Thank you for the recognition. Commissioners, are there any comments . Questions . We are going to do a Group Photo Im sorry. Yes. We are going to do a group photo, but i think there comments first. Okay. Great. We will do a photo, we would just do it probably after the second award. Then we will all come down at the same time. S. F. O. Aaron, you personally, i just have to say are such an amazing contributor to the city family. We scored so big when you decided to leave your previous job and lead the sustainability efforts of s. F. O. She is a force to be reckoned with, she leaves the best meeting i think ive ever been in. She could lead any meeting that i have to go to. They are so productive, and she does such hard work to be prepared so that everyone get something out of it. Youre just amazing. She is lucky, too, because she works in an organization that is a small city. Ed has made a decision to leave the world truly in realizing what the potential is for an airport to do. There is no Green Airport on the planet, and i am so grateful for everything you do. As commissioner. Five said, you are a test bed for things, sometimes they work well, sometimes it not work well but the airport is going to try. To share what you learn so that everyone can follow in your footsteps. S. F. O. Any comments . Any Public Comment on this item . We can do a quick photo. The next item, anthony. Item seven, presentation of a commission on the environment Environmental Service award to the severance go department of. This will be presented by Commission Commissioner wan. This is a long list of accomplishments, please be prepared. It is my great honor to present the San Francisco department of Human Resources unaware. Mickey callahan, the director the initiatives are what we need. Specifically we need to generate and create less waste. Indeed, this was one of our goals. To reduce waste by 15 . Its only been a year since the summit, city agencies like the Human Resources department are already stepping up. Heres a list of what they are doing. 35 million in Employee Benefit payments, 80 will be converted from paper checks to Electronic Fund transfers resulting in the elimination of 26,000 paper checks to employees. An estimated 4400 checks will be eliminated. The final phase, of this project, will be in 2021 creating a System Interface tempe medical providers electronically which will replace approximately 33388 checks annually. That is less waste generation, reducing consumption also reducing carbon emissions. This particular instance we are saving trees. Many around the country, the world, San Francisco city departments are the cities best environmental ambassadors. We hear, at commission on the environment, are proud cooperating with sustainability into aspects of your operation that most people think about from a sustainable perspective. You are, and that shows dedication. The commission, we are often talking about about what needs to be done that are leading the way. [inaudible] i want to express my thanks for agreeing to send our transportation survey to all City Employees so we can find out which modes of transportation City Employees are using on a daily basis. Therefore, how we can best assist them in moving to more sustainable modes. With that, i am pleased to also join my colleagues in presenting you with the commission on the environment Environmental Service award. [applause] it is a great honor to be here. I want to highlight, this really follow something we did a couple of years ago which was to move all City Employees to direct deposit. It was a lot more complex due to Workers Compensation because of Regulatory Environment it sending checks. Prior to this initiative we had been sending a file to chicago, where they would print checks and mail them to all of our recipients, as payments. This has been a huge initiative the last several years. I want to call out peggy sugarman, our contractor, stanley who made it all happen he is our assistant manager for workers comp. Also the office of the treasurer, as well. It is interesting, as far as we can tell we have the first Large Employer the only Large Employer that is actually doing this. It is such a tough Regulatory Environment. The information how to process to do this, in a confidential manner, is really hard to do. Where there is a will, there is a way. Our team pulled it off. Stay tuned for the next phase which is to all of the vendors, the medical providers who provide services will be paid electronically, as well. We are excited about that. It is a great honor. Thank you. Any comments . Mickey, director callahan, i just want to say this is such a great honor for us to thank you. You dont have the word sustainability or environment, in your title, or any of the peoples titles that you mentioned. Yet they have it in their blood, and you have it in your core. You decided as the leader of this department to persevere, and when mickey first told me about this she was so excited, and honestly i didnt understand the big deal. Im thinking, dont we all do electronic text by now . She said no, this is really hard. When she said this Regulatory Environment, it sounds like such a benign phrase. It was obviously such a challenge to pull this off, and then to show people, and i am assuming this is all around the country, everybody has the same challenge you do. Showing what is possible, doing it because it is the right thing to do. Commissioner stevenson, when you were talking about your reaction to the climate strike, and this place of pride, knowing that San Francisco leads by example. It is so deep within the organization of our city departments. It makes me so proud and grateful. Dinky so much, director, for your leadership throughout the department of Human Resources on all of the work you do. Thank you for taking lead on this. Thank you very much. Any other comments . If not, do we have any Public Comment on this item . If not, we are going to take a photo with our two recipients this evening. [please stand by] [please stand by] thank you. Okay. Remembered with for our next item. A presentation on the findings of the San FranciscoEnergy Efficiency coordinating committee. The sponsor is deborah and the chair is the Energy Efficiency committee and antonio diaz, a member of the Energy Efficiency committee. The item is for discussion. President , may i introduce . Yes, please. Thank you. Thank you. In 2017, then supervisor eric mar recognized the importance of the intersection between Energy Efficiency and equity. The health of our Small Businesses, of our disadvantaged communities across San Francisco. And he wanted to make sure that the department of the environment and the Public UtilitiesPublic Utilities commission were hearing from if the right people as we designed our own programs. Frankly we were thrilled by this challenge to us, to engage with community in a meaningful way about Energy Efficiency programming. And so what better leaders for us to have than the two people who are standing before us tonight, who have stepped up in a significant way to lead this discussion and then bring all of that information together in a report and then meet with us about the report, as well as p. U. C. To think about, given all of the recommendations, how do we start to prioritize and think about the first things we need to do differently. And i can say its already impacted the work that we do here in our Energy Efficiency programming and its also set some priorities for the future that im excited for you to hear about tonight. So thank you both for your leadership and. Would you introduce yourself, as well as who you work with, just as a context. That would be wonderful. Go ahead. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is antonio diaz. Im with the economic rights. Im the organizations director. And my name is avni jamdar. Were a local nonprofit working in several markets across, but very importantly on green issues with community, labor and workforce. And director raphael will set the context. Well have an Energy Efficiency coordinating committee came about. I was closely involved with supervisor mar, eric mar at the time, in terms of supporting the legislation. The committee brought together a cross sector of stakeholders, representing workforce training, the Small Business sector, nonprofit, Affordable Housing, green jobs and Environmental Justice. We met throughout 2016 and into 2017 to come up with the report and recommendations that avni will be speaking about in a moment. I shut mention the work of the committee was supported by staffing from the department of the environment. I want to commend anthony to his hard work in supporting our efforts. And also by staff at the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. And i must also mention that our work was greatly supported by the leadership, vision, and just commitment to this work that cal had exhibited throughout all of this proprocess. Definitely want to mention that. The report is actually dedicated to cal. The one thing in closing, the context of this, that i also wanted to mention, is that for us the focus in terms of looking at Energy Efficiency in San Francisco, as stated in the legislation, was definitely to do this from a perspective of equity. So, for example, in the language from the legislation, its talks about how our recommendations should be shaped by, for example, how the city should give priority in connection with Energy Efficiency spending, to lowincome communities and communities that are disproportionately impacted by localized health and economic threats of toxic pollution. That the city should maintain and monitor the effectiveness of policies that ensure jobs and other economic benefits and Energy Efficiency. And green sector industries, specifically benefit lowincome San Francisco residents and target the Environmental Justice communities, et cetera. So just to mention that our proceedings definitely took this to heart in terms of having an equity focus to the work, that we conducted for over over a year. I want to turn it over to avni, who chaired our committee. Thank you so much, antonio. So im not going to get too detailed. But take you a little bit into the weeds. Were going to turn sfgov. There we go. Are we going to have the recommendations up on the screen . They are now. Thank you. So quite dense. But im going to walk you through it. The Committee Really recommends overall that the Energy Efficiency and distributed Energy Resources dollars. So money as well as programs are better synthesized and. And clients, especially those that are burdened by, you know, other factors like lowincome residents of San Francisco find if harder to access some of these programs. So ill quickly kind of go over our methodology. We basically started with mapping every Single Program around Energy Efficiency, that is offered either by the city or by third parties. So we looked at and we started with looking at all sectors. We looked at the large commercial sector, Single Family housing and municipal buildings. And i would refer you to appendix a, which is in your report, where we basically list each of those programs by the amount that was spent annually in the year 2016, which is when our committee was active. And the city currently spends about 12 million ballpark in Energy Efficiency programs per year. So thats pretty significant amount. And, you know, its impressive. And its kind of expected of the city that takes leadership around on environment issues. The Committee Looked at both demand said and supply side programs. So we reviewed, you know, rebate incentive programs, but also the workforce Training Programs that are offered around Energy Efficiency. Among the programs that we looked at was the s. F. Energy watch program, which is a partnership with pg e. We looked at multifamily program, which is also implemented by s. F. Environment. We invited several multifamily owners like chinatown, cdc and Affordable Housing advocates like California Housing Partnership to offer their expertise and inputs on Energy Efficiency in multifamily affordable. We looked at the esap program, which is focused on lowincome residents. And sfpuc provided an overview of their programs. We also invited on the supply side oewd to talk about how they train around Energy Efficiency. We invited a staff to present on c. C. A. S, on the c. C. A. And what its current priorities are in building out, you know, their Energy Efficiency offerings. At the time they were more really now is the time where were starting to think about how theyre going to be shaped. We invited clean energy and other c. C. A. To learn from their experience how they build built out the Energy Efficiency offerings. So with that i will turn to the recommendations themselves. Im sorry you cannot read those. But ill walk you through them. So there was six broad areas of recommendations that we prioritized. These are based on the case studies and various sections in the report, that provide more detailed and insight into each of them. The first area is to expand programs for lowincome residents. Im just going to walk you through the recommendations and not going to the implementation strategy. Thats something that we can discuss maybe in a more detailed discussion. So 1. 1 recommendation is that the cpuc allows local governments to lower the threshold for the esap program. Right now its set at 9,000 a household, which is at federal poverty levels. So a lot of local San Francisco residents dont qualify for the esap program, because that threshold is too low. So they dont qualify and, therefore, dont get those incentives. So thats one of our recommendations. The second is that the city establish a comprehensive d. E. R. Program for lowincome residents, that is citywide and has the potential to create better service, oversight and equitable distribution of dollars from potential funding sources, including and not limited to cap and trade. 1. 3 is supporting altering program, cost effectiveness evaluations at the cpuc, to include nonenergy savings benefits. This is very important because a lot of lowincome residents dont think of Greenhouse Gas emissions as a priority in their life, you know. But health impacts. Its huge priority for most families. So if youre, you know, going to have low incidences of asthma or other healthrelated impacts of indoor air quality, you know, those should be included in the evaluation themselves, of these programs. So im going to move on into the next performance area, which is Bolster Workforce Development opportunities. So the first one here is to support contractor training for small minority contractors to increase the capacity and access to financing to bid on green and Public Sector projects. So this is really a Business Development and Capacity Building kind of recommendation. The second is focused on workforce, which is the Training Programs in San Francisco, related to construction, should consider including an upscaling confidence around d. E. R. So just adding more deals around that. 2. 3 is to improve coordination among local organizations, providing Workforce Development trainings and comprehensive d. E. R. Programs. So theyre all related. But really we feel like the supply side programs could really use a boost, especially we have the Contractors Assistance Center in the e. P. A. Bay view. Thats the ideal location to have some of these upscaling programs and, you know, especially the contractor training modules. Moving on into the next performance area. This is increased the financing for Small Businesses. Now some of these have happened. Like the first one which is the expand the s. F. Environment Microloan Program for projects below 5,000. I believe that has been done. So hooray. The next one is that we support s. F. Environment environments to implement the multifamily bay model into commercial properties. We hill recommend that. I believe that has happened as well. And the third is we support pay for performance program, developed through programs offered by s. F. E. And the sfpump c. And the next one that we consider a model in which businesses of a similar type be aggregated and Energy Measures are done on those to reduce cost and complexity. An example is the Pilot Project that was done for refrigeration across all small stores and Small Businesses. And that was a huge success. Kind of taking one measure and going across the sector is often an effective way of, you know, having a big impact. The next performance area is to prioritize multifamily housing. Thank you. Here we say that San Francisco offers customer friendly, comprehensive programs for distributed Energy Resources. This recommendation goes across our all of our recommendations, is to have a onestop hub for residents to access. Because often these programs are siloed and dont stack well together, especially the multifamily sector. And especially the multifamily affordable sector, because they have multiple barriers to doing these efficiency projects. And having, for example, a payment mechanism that owners can put the cost of upgrades and repay them through their bill, would be a game changer we feel in opening up retrofits in that sector. The next one here is to increase outreach to other city agencies, apartment owners and managers, associations about this onestop shop. And ill stop there for that one. The next performance area is to streamline the process for energy upgrades. Again establish a d. E. R. Ombudsman program, really that goes to the onestop shop recommendation. The next one is that public interfacing agencies promote these programs that exist. You know, so someone approaches, you know, another department, they learn about, you know, what s. F. Environment and sfpuc arounds efficiency, to meet the goals of the Climate Action plan. The next one here is increasing the flexibility of Historic Preservation requirements, so that windows, doors, exteriors, et cetera, can be made for more efficient and less expensive materials. And here we collaborate with the Historic Architectural review board to update these requirements. The next one here is to create shared learning for Energy Efficiency and Workforce Development. So to learn from other programs, like we did from energy and other c. C. A. S in the bay area. Around the financing and so on. The next one is that s. F. Environment continues to follow the p. U. C. Efforts on the e. R. S, through participation in various regulatory proceedings, to ensure a comprehensive approach to Energy Solutions to reach the citys climate calls. The next performance area is to remove barriers to data collection. Again this is very critical. And the first one here is already done, benchmarking of multifamily buildings. Were really excited top of access to the data in the next few years. The next one is the state of california change the data consents law to allow more access for local governments, to identify potential customers participation in energy use. Again very critical when we address multifamily upgrades. We dont have unitlevel data. Its just like, you know, half information. And finally, we serve individuals surveyed by Energy Efficient programs to learn about their challenges. So thats kind of the long list of our recommendations. Were happy to answer any questions at this point. Chair commissioner stevenson. Yeah. Thank you. That was awesome. First of all, i know that its really hard to get all of that information and insight. So its a heavy list that you guys just did. I think that as just a basic San Francisco civilian, i think that when i hear things like this, from the outside, a lot of times its like, well, of course, the city already knows all of this stuff. This information already exists somewhere. But it doesnt. And it really takes the hard efforts from you guys to do these kinds of things. I really appreciate the work. My big question is whats next. I see this list of implementation strategies that youre recommending. And i see that a lot of them have very interesting implications for things like the department of the environment and other city bodies. Whats the next step to push this forward . And what do you need to output this one of the things we wanted was to present to the board of supervisors and have them, you know, look at the support. And thats to be done. But i think that we achieved an even more critical step a few weeks ago. We presented to the directors of s. F. Environment and the Power Department at sfpuc barbara hail and debby and their staff. We had a really creative conversation about where we can take these recommendations. And i thought that was a really good sort of we set the few next steps for the two teaing agencies to work together. We were asked for priority recommendations. We offered two and made them more current. Because right now this whole building ddecarbon nation work is popping and a lot of funding is coming that way. I feel like we have already started the process of setting those next steps. Would you like to add anything . I was looking at the director. Because i think the department is moving forward, as avni mentioned in the reporting, some of these things have been done. I think the momentum is there. Just a matter of keeping at it. And is there are there plans or is there sort of political will or financing to keep this kind of to track whats happening against these recommendations Going Forward . That is not a question [laughter] yeah. So what we did i mean, that as avni said, we have a really interesting discussion with p. U. C. And whats interesting about the timing of this is at the same time that they were presenting the findings of the report, department of the environment and p. U. C. Are starting to enter into a whole new phase of partnership on Energy Efficiency. Because the landscape of pg e is changing so radically. And because clean power s. F. Is fully enrolled, the p. U. C. Has bandwidth to look at other opportunities for clean power s. F. To access additional revenue and additional ratepayer funds, that right now all go to pg e. As we look to have access to those funds and starting to dictate how the funds would be used, we are hoping that San Francisco p. U. C. Would work order them over to the department of the environment for our Energy Efficiency programs, that we would be doing in Close Partnership with sfpuc. The timing of this was really outstanding, because were starting to think not only about the ask of the california Public Utilities commission, but also the work plan for what it would look like. And this idea that keeps coming up in the recommendations over and over in different forms is to simplify and make accessible the opportunities for funding to people who this is not their job. Theyre trying to either operate an Affordable Housing unit or they want to build one. And its such a complicated landscape to try and figure out all of the different opportunities for Energy Efficiency. Whether we call it an ombudsman or onestop shop, the point of this is once the department of the environment has a little more freedom in the use of its funds. Right now through pg e theyre so restricted, we dont have a lot of flexibility. Once we can get the funds through clean power s. F. , that gives us more flexibility to do some of these recommendations that weve been frankly wanting to do. And its so empowering and validating to see outside voices say, yeah, you know, this is really where you need to go next. Is the money that would come to us through clean power s. F. , through the p. U. C. , is that straight over like a grant in our Budget Program . Or is that going to come through the general fund . Thats a great question. I dont know the answer to that. Its money that the San Francisco p. U. C. Would have access to through the rate payers, through the public purchase charge. And how and whether we have to say the p. U. C. Has to decide this as well. Whether and how that money gets to us, is yet to be determined. Commissioner wong. Just a quick question for number 4, multifamily housing. Does that also include s. R. O. Buildings . Because they share a lot of common challenges, including to contact the owner, to do all of the upgrades and also the rebate programs and also the challenges to upgrade the buildings as well. I would like to hear if you have any comments on that. I would say that s. R. O. S are amongst the hardest of properties to retrofit. Those are some specific challenges were talking about there. But these recommendations we did look at s. R. O. S. And they include them absolutely as priority properties. I think it would be great if we could mention s. R. O. As part of this. Sounds good. Absolutely. As part of this recommendation. Commissioner. A lot of great recommendations in here. You mentioned that you were asked to prioritize a couple and you picked two. Im curious to know what those two were. I have them right here. [laughter] the first one is we actually coined a more catchy term, to establish a Citywide Clean Energy building hub. A comprehensive approach to the e. R. Programs for lowincome residents for better service, et cetera. And the second one is to support contractor training for small minority contractors to increase their capacity and access in green sector. Those are the two we felt were the most critical to lowincome communities, because that was our mandate. That will stick in our heads. Thank you. Chair commissioner. I just wanted to also second commissioner wongs comments about making sure s. R. O. S are explicitly included. One thing also briefly looking at the mapping, there is a mention of a. B. 1515. That is great. It better encompasses San Francisco. Having that map included, just so the public is more aware, i think it would be helpful as well. And just recognizing its an ongoing process, continuously improving. And hopefully will better reflect Environmental Justice communities throughout the bay area. The question i wanted to pose back to you is actually around a total different subject labor. What is your assessment on the days of the apprenticeship pipeline . What kind of trades are we looking to onboard into Energy Efficiency work . Well, you know, the electricians, the mechanical trades remain the most relevant for this work. But the laborers are getting into this work. There. So i would say that those Apprenticeship Program that are more open to taking our opportunities in would be a better fit. But, yeah. I think that we need to engage labor more seriously around this issue. Really. To have that conversation. And, of course, are there local c. P. O. S that you would currently recommend as relevant to this apprenticeship pipeline . C. P. O. S is working on the apprenticeship pipeline. Well, you know, a lot of them were reflected in our committee itself. Yeah. Do you want to add anything . Yeah. Yes. As commissioner knows, some of those Training Program representatives were part of the process. Commissioner and his colleagues were not officially on the committee, but attended every meeting. Yeah. I mean, i would say that, you know, obviously city build academy, which is our Apprenticeship Program and the prepreApprenticeship Programs that serve them, whether its mission hiring program, apri, conservation core, youth build. All of those are preparing our youth, lowincome youth to access these careers. So aligning those preapprenticeships into the apprenticeships would be a great way to kind of make that pipeline robust. Thats very helpful. Thank you. Director raphael. Yes. Yes, with the permission of the president , i see that lowell chew is sitting there. And because the Energy Efficiency programs are under him, im wondering if it would be okay for him to comment a little bit on what he heard, as well as perhaps add on next steps in his words. Thank you, director raphael. Good evening, commissioners. Im lowell chew, as debby has mentioned. I heard a lot of great ideas from the report. And some of the things that avni had mentioned that are already implemented, for example, the commercial program. Thats modeled after the multifamily. Its always open enrollment in october. As well as the paper performance piece she mentioned is also incorporated and that it was in that commercial program. More importantly i think that as director raphael mentioned that our partnership is a really unique opportunity to capture what is recommended in the documents and actualizing the operationallize. Some of the equity pieces i know are the same pieces that power s. F. Is aware of and is focusing on. And coinciding that, the onestop shop. Its always a concept thats been brought up. The difficulty in operationallizing it. In some senses what were doing now at s. F. E. Is that single point of contact for Energy Efficiencyrelated services. So we want to make that more defined and more catered towards the equity components in the recommendations. Any other comments . Do we have any Public Comment on item 8 . Okay.
