And we used this information from our background screenings of the pesticides along with their information on the ground situations, what works and what doesnt. Are we using the safetiest alternative possible and is it necessary in the first place . In order to gradually improve that list over the years and we have done so for over 20 years now. We take the prevention part of that seriously lately these past few years with prevention guidelines and we now have a draft to for landscapes being reviewed for a large group of professionals and they will be published as a standalone document. This is something that our ipm Technical Advisory Committee is interested in over the years. I dont have a slide for it, but ill take note that we want a grant this year from the department of pesticide regulation, about 160,000 and its before the Board Finance Committee for except and expand to follow up on our previous work in installing perfect prevention measures. So its an overlap with what the earlier speakers were talking about. When you seal out perfects, youre improving Energy Efficiency as well. Were justing getting going on that project. Also, integral to the ipm programme, we have annual training and ipm covering the citys gardeners, public works and we have monthly meetings where we have speakers and continuing Education Credits and we have almost monthly trainings for folks in the programme. There are many other approaches taken to avoid the use of pesticides including mechanical control and were trying to be intellectually honest. It has been quantified theres a cancer risk to inhaling these fumes all day. Our approach to that has been to look for safer mechanical controls. We had Pilot Testing on rechargeable landscaping equipment this year which the new generation of this equipment is much better and longer lasting. The batterying are longer quality. The staff loved this. Were happy that we are able to pull that off. We have been pa Pilot Testing sr techniques to clear up carcinogen and weve had alternative analyses going on for various weed problems and chemical and nonchemical approaches work best. In the news, there have been more than 4,000 cancer victims suing monsanto in various asem blages. The most recent decisions it was stated that quote, all evidence roundup that causes cancer is quite equivocal and strong evidence they dont care whether their product is giving cancer. The justic gift gist of these. Theres no science roundup but we proceeded beyond that once it was categorized as a car since , we started looking for alternatives. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds as the year goes by. Ill talk about Pesticide Use trends and we like to talk about the tier 1, the highest use and city limits. The text covers up the graph there, but in 2015, thats when glyphosate was considered one. This year its 97 from 2010 to 2018 and from 2015, theres a 76 reduction and thats contributed to all of the department collaborators who have worked so hard. In material terms, and some of you have seen a graph like this, in 2010, if you look at the total amount of herbicides in all 2300 acres of city parks, it would have been 60 gallons of herbicide active ingredient. In 201 2018, thats 1. 4 gallons. It was 1. 8 last year. So we made an improvement there, too, which im happy to see. Tout but it ibut that is coveris or more of city parks. I think that is a gold star for the people working on this. With regard to the reduced risk pesticide list, we had our work meetings this year and there is an exceptional number of products that we are switching in and out mos. Most changes are mostly administrative and detailed oriented changes. The three that are of most interest are listed hear, removing one of the two products because it poses a greater work or Health Hazard than the other one. We still have roundup on the list, used in very, very small quantities but there are situations where there is not clearly a safer alternative. Were removing the last of what they call Second Generation rodenticid session, affecting walled life the most. Some of you may remember the tier 1 herbicide with roundup is garlon and were adding a lower risk. It has the same active ingredient but the other ingredients are less hazardous to workers. Ed a way tits a way to move awe garlon use. Language changes this year in restrictions and those of you who were here, you know we spent a lot of time refining this language with our City Partners and with the public and with the commissioners and thanks to you, i think we have really done a good job on this. It has been working and we really did not have very many substantive changes at all. The one minor change is to clarify that it is ok to block a trail as a measure for when a treatment is necessary, its ok just to block it off completely as an alternative to putting up fencing or tape around a treated area. Diving deeper we look at the transportation, you see 71 of that 46 comes from the private sector, which includes private Passenger Vehicles as well as medium duty vehicles. It is also about health and safety benefits. It is more about meeting a common goal, it is about making San Francisco a more livable city for all of our residents. The map you see before you is air quality and equity map. This shows that the particular matter, 2. 5 microns and smaller, sources of concentration you see are focused around our major highways and byways. The red is greater than 10 concentration. It is is adjacent to some of our more disadvantaged communities. As debbie also addressed, there is a need to address a zero admission future, reduce the number of vehicles on our roads while simultaneously electrifying all of those that remain. Getting our residents out of cars is the core of our transit first policy and the best way to reduce not only emissions but also congestion. Getting people out of cars is a difficult task, but we have achieved this already. 57 take public transit, biking or walking and we are now aiming for 80 . We noted that in addition, we must transition the remaining vehicles, on our roads, away from fossil fuels to Renewable Energy. Its also for our vehicles. As deborah also mentioned, we have performed several initiatives and goals to kickstart emissions Free Transportation system. We are electrifying a fleet, and electrifying our bus fleets. We also have a roadmap that will guide us to certification of the private transportation sector. A key to getting there is providing reliable access to affordable charting infrastructure. Release the San Francisco roadmap in july. Within the roadmap identified six specific areas that we will focus on. Public awareness, incentives, building infrastructure, fortifying the electrical grid so there is enough capacity to support that. Medium and heavyduty vehicles so the class 79 class eight trucks. And then finally autonomous vehicles. Two thirds of our residents also live in dense multiunit dwellings which are more difficult to install charging stations compared to Single Family homes. Those residents will need access to publicly available charging stations to build enough confidence for them to adopt electric vehicles on a we also have the ordinance for new construction and major renovations. This ordinance requires 100 of the Parking Spaces to be ev ready. In combination with the ordinance proposed before you, we are now focusing on the parking facilities. Shifting to the baseline. Here is what we have currently. The map before you shows all of the publicly available charging ports that we have in the city. We have roughly around 750 public charging ports. We have 11,000 electric vehicles registered. The available ports, and the vehicle is registered is. 07. Clearly the map demonstrates our baseline. We have to do better to increase the confidence in charging so more people will have electric vehicles. As also mentioned before, there is a current initiative, it is an ongoing initiative to open up parking structures to private vehicle charging station providers to offer proposals. So far, we have received around nine proposals and the proposals are very robust. Everyone checked pretty much every box. Mta, as well as rack and parker going through the process of filtering these responses and determining what the processes to evaluate which are the best proposals to move forward. Basically, this represents a significant opportunity to geographically expand our public charging network. This is part three. What will the ordinance do . The ordinance will require commercial parking garages with over 100 spaces to set aside 10 of the Parking Spaces for level two vehicle charging. 40kilowatt and below. The other way to comply with the ordinance would be to install direct current, fast charging station equivalent. The compliance is required by 2023. Furthermore, this ordinance really tries to form a dialogue between parking garage owners, operators with the electrical vehicle charging station providers. We will require them to have a safe analysis financial and technical feasibility, and we realize that the electrical vehicle charging station providers, and the process could be complex. We really just want to stimulate a dialogue between these two parties and the permitting process as tied to the San FranciscoPolice Department. We will be working closely with the Police Department to ensure that the sites are being compliant. Of course we recognize not every site of the 300 or so presented affected sites will be able to install level two and fast chargers based on a variety of reasons. Perhaps the capacity is insufficient. Perhaps structurally it is not possible to install the charging stations and requires substantial renovation of the garage such as repaving or raised in ceiling. We really just want to have the garage is to show a good faith effort to demonstrate they have tried to install charging infrastructure in the garage is, and if not there is a waiver process. So, the department of environment will administer the compliant process. Suspend or revoke the operating permits on the department can also choose to administer fines for noncompliance. Finally, what is the impact of the ordinance . As mentioned, currently there are 750 charging ports at approximately 200 locations, just as the map i have shown before. The resulting impact is significant. Combined when combined the ordinance with our Municipal Parking garage initiative, the implication is that we can add up to 8200 charging stations. The map you see before you show some gaps. The ordinance is an additional way, a step in the longrange strategy to get our vehicles off of gas and diesel. It focuses on increasing public charging and the denser areas of the cities where many of the multifamily units are located for. For example, 75 of those units in many northeast are 20 units or more. More than 50 of the residential units in many westsouth and southeast neighborhoods are Single Family homes. Finally, the equity piece. This is also very important. Financially we do not want to continue to impact air pollutions from vehicles on communities. The ordinance aims to increase access to charging infrastructure specifically in those areas. Also the roadmap aims to work with entities, estate funding specifically to help these communities. We will continue to work with the city college to train local youth such as vehicle mechanics and charging station technicians. We also realize this has Financial Impact to increase access to charging stations, not just two cars but medium to heavy duty vehicles. I am not charles, but i took this presentation from him. Im sure he would have done a way better job. I hope you gave i gave you a sense of what this ordinance is, where we are, where the ordinance will take us in combination with all of the initiatives through the e. V. Roadmap. I hope you consider the resolution before you and before i finish i want to recognize my colleague, zach thompson. I have been with the department for 12 years, but i just started with the electric Vehicle Group in january i learned so much from zach, and my colleague suzanne. It has been a pleasure. I hope to continue working with his team in that capacity. Thank you. Commissioners, questions . Commissioner sullivan . Thank you for the presentation. I think what is being proposed here is one of the most important things we can do. Its a fantastic program. It was interesting to see the statistics around the number of e. V. s, the ratio of ports to e. V. s. I would like to see that reported to the commission maybe annually so we can see not just a snapshot, but hopefully as this legislation starts to have an impact we can see those numbers grow. One thing that came up in the policy commissions committee was, both the existing dots and the ones that will grow in the future, its really striking how theyre concentrated around downtown, the northeast part of the city and very few in the west on the south. I think that reflects where their i hope we will also not take our eye off of the curbside opportunities, i know they are much more challenging to make progress there. I hope that is something we can make progress on in the future. Thank you. Commissioner stevenson. Thank you i recognize and some of what was being outlined there was enforcement on followup requirements on the department through the ordinance not having read it, i was trying to find it, and i cannot find it. Is there funding associated with that, or is this going to be an ordinance that gives the department more work to do, and may or may not also give them some money to be able to follow up on that. Up on that . We are actively seeking and in the process of applying for fuel standard money to help alleviate some of the work that will be required to do this ordinance enforcement. I would just say that this is not an unfunded mandate. We were very clear about that with the author and the mayors office. We have identified a potential source of funding, and we just need to make sure he gets to us. One of the things i really like about the ordinance is that it seems to have some teeth. There will be, you know, there will be followups and fines levied. You can get your permit taken away. I think that is great, because a lot of times we expect everyone to do the right thing, but the ordinance does not give us the tools to do that. I hope that the money follows the tools. Thank you for the presentation. The pie chart is one of the biggest reasons why i wanted to join this commission and the first place. Thank you for pulling us back to that. I am curious about the partnerships with the private parking. Obviously parking structures are not fully utilized in terms of the most and best utilization of space in an urban setting. What can the department, or the city do to help them, i think in some ways when i think of putting electric charging stations within a parking garage, when the parking garage is not the best use of the spaces. Sometimes it is great to because we are making a better for populations. For the folks that do not drive it all, it is not really huge benefit, what are the ways we are collaborating with the Parking Companies to figure out the best possible use of that space . Sure, i can start with an answer and hopefully zach can add to it. When we were researching for this ordinance, we spoke to many of the private charging infrastructure providers. One provider in particular was interesting, because this provider said that major parking operator in the United States realizes that private vehicle ownership is on the decline. As a result, with less cars there is less need for parking. What that Parking Company had envisioned was a parking structure will be providing services. Electrical vehicle charging was identified as one of their primary services that it can deliver to check high utilization rate for the parking stalls. Is there anything to add, zach . May i . Good evening commissioners, zach thompson. Im from the zero missions vehicle scene. I just want to add onto that i just emphasize his point about how we are seeing and hearing from these garage and launch the owner said that they are seeing a decline in the number of vehicles that are parking there, and theyre seeing a decline in revenue. Something that this ordinance can actually help them with is shifting the case from private vehicle parking to vehicle charging as well as particularly with fleets. As we see the shift towards autonomous vehicles, as we see more and more Transportation NetworkCompany Vehicles operating on our roads and we want them to shift over to electric, these are now becoming Opportunity Areas for them to utilize as charging services. That is what i would add onto that. Thank you. Any other questions . Any Public Comment . I think we are ready for the motion. May i have a motion to approve the revolution file 201905coe regarding electric vehicle charging and commercial buildings . I will move approval. Commissioner sullivan has moved. Seconded by commissioner chu. Any discussion or any comments, commissioners . Seeing none. All in favor signaled by saying i forget any opposed . The next item, anthony. Item 12, review and vote on whether to accept the policy Committee Regulation to approve revolution 201906c 0e regarding ordinance 190708 concerning large commercial building Renewable Energy requirements. The explanatory document is resolution file number 201906 cle. This was already discussed on the Committee Approved recommended we approve the ordinance. This is another exciting ordinance. Its a little simpler in its idea and its an implementation. If you go back and think about that was referenced, you might remember that 8 of our emissions come from electricity. While that is not a massive, as massive as transportation fuels it is significant and it is very doable to reduce that even further, especially because we have a clean power sf product. We have a hetch hetchy product so we have 100 that you can get from pg e. When we looked at who was using electricity we decided to tackle the biggest electricity users, and have them be required to procure 100 renewable. They do not have to buy from the city, that they have to buy 100 . That is in a nutshell, charles will give more detail on how we came about with a strategy and what this means, and what our role is. It is very exciting. Again, we are out there, as a first. In away, to me, it is a nobrainer, but it doesnt mean it takes zero brainpower. It is about time, and i am excited about it, it is very doable. I will let charles ask lena further. Thank you. If we can have the slides . Reducing emissions with renewed Usable Energy with large it is very straightforward. Im going to walk you through that. We save the best for last year, so allow me that privilege. [laughter] the city does have ambitious Greenhouse Gas reduction targets by 2017 we want to be 27 below our levels. We are at 36 , we have exceeded that goal. By 2025 we are hoping to be 40 below 1990 levels. Clearly on track for that. By 2050 we want to be 100 below 1990 levels. Probably get to about 90 and then we will sequester the rest. Where we are today, we are 36 below 1990 levels. We did a great job, theyre still a lot more to do. This is to repetitive. Transportation is a big emission generator of 46 . Right in its Rearview Mirror buildings. That is what we are here to talk about today. Lets talk and take a deeper dive starting with commercial buildings. 67 of emissions from commercial buildings are coming from natural gas. We are queuing up policy to address that. More on that to come in the next weeks, months, and years. There is still a substantial amount of emissions coming from electricity of commercial buildings. 20 of their operations are generating emissions from electricity. And a little bit from the combustion of steam there is still a lot of emissions coming from electricity in commercial buildings. I also want to talk about our municipal buildings, because the contrast looks favorably upon the city. We have a supply of Clean Electricity from the hetch hetchy system. There is no electricity emissions from this building. All of the emissions from municipal buildings come from natural gas. Supervisor brown today introduced legislation to eliminate natural gas usage. Again, it is going to be a topic that we will revisit many times over. The city does have a goal of net zero emissions for all buildings by 2050. That was the goal of the Climate Action summit goal. Have a net zero emissions in all New Buildings by 2030. This ordinance will help us get there. How do we do zero emissions . Three easy steps. Energy efficiency, supply renewable electricity, that is what we and electrify appliances. Thats a little bit in the future again. We do have an existing commercial bench marking ordinance which has been promoting Energy Efficiency by measuring what building owners and operators are managing. So, that bench marking ordinance supplies commercial buildings and large multifamily buildings. He was see that row at the top. In addition, commercial buildings are required to for both of those different category sizes. What is new and what we are attacking today, we are requiring commercial buildings, about 50,000 square feet or higher to use renewable electricity. We are building upon our work for buildings. There is a pun there, i probably meant that. It is all sequential. We are starting with Energy Efficiency. As you work through Energy Efficiency goals you want to make sure the electricity that you are still supplying is 100 that is where we are today. Again, just a little bit more on the top sector. You can see San Franciscos gdp is growing. At the top left. Top right, the value of our real estate and our commercial buildings is also growing. Employment in the city is growing. In the bottom right, that is the electricity and energy usage that is decreasing. That trend is moving in the right direction. So the proposal today, building upon all of our Energy Efficiency work is to require 100 renewable electricity for our large commercial buildings. Pretty straightforward. As you can see we have a lot of commercial buildings in the city. It is the largest ones in 50,000 square feet up to larger than 500,000 square feet. There is not that many of those buildings. They are responsible for 73 of electricity emissions. That is only 9 of those buildings. That is a total of 156,000 tons of co2 each year. They may not be that many, but those large buildings are our primary emitters. We are going to phase in this ordinance, the requirements for 100 renewable electricity purchase starting in 2022. With the buildings that are 500,000 square feet or higher. We are going to phase in the next category of buildings, 250,000 square feet to 500,000 square feet in 2024. By 2030, it will be the buildings we did that to make sure theyre Clean Power Program can procure the right amount of electricity to meet the right amount of customer demand. And today, if they were to do that, they would find out a little more challenging, because the market is a little bit more can Everyone Wants cleaner electricity in california. Making sure there is adequate supply to meet customer demand. If large buildings switched to hetch hetchy power they would reduce their costs. There are options to increase Clean Electricity the facility is getting while decreasing the cost. Clean power sf option is also very costeffective. There may be some slight increases. And then pg and e Renewable Energy program there is some potential for price increases. There is also potential for slight price decreases. Overall, there isnt too much of a price impact. Unless again you are selecting hetch hetchy power. The cost of electricity will go down. That is a good story and a good outcome for this ordinance. Here is where the buildings of 500,000 square feet or higher are located. No real surprises. The tone of 50,000 square feet, to five, no real surprises, but you start to see some of them in other parts of the city. And then of course 50,000 square feet up to 250,000 square feet, those are more scattered and dispersed throughout the city. [please stand by] [please stand by] were taking them from a very clean place to a purely clean place. I showed you emissions for electricity are still 25 from these buildings and so when we stepped back, weve actually driven down Greenhouse Gas emissions from the Electricity Supply in the city by 80 over the past x number of years. Weve di been doing a good job. We began this remarkable journey to eradicate emission 0 our fror Electricity Supply. We will finish what we started like the end is in sight for electricity. Were moving to national gas and we still have a little work left to do and so were going to get into that 100 renewable hurdle with this ordinance. Lets close that curtain. Any other questions . Charles, does nuclear count towards the standards . It does not count. This city theres a polluting source of electricity for its radiation byproducts. Commissioner steph not son. The natural gas piece of it is that primarily heating in these commercial building this i . Is that what that odd 70 is . Yes. Its building and water. Yeah. Building heating, water heating. Yeah. Any other questions . Do we have any Public Comment . Seeing none. I think were ready to have a motion to approve resolution filed 201906coe regarding large commercial buildings Renewable Energy requirements. May i have a motion. I make a motion. Its been moved by commissioner wan second by. Do we have any discussion . Any questions . All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed . Any abstentions . Motion carries. Thank you. Next item, anthony. Clerk the next item is item 13 directors report the speakers debra and the explanatory document is a directors report. This item is up for discussion. Thank you, president. All right, the hour is getting late and theres a lot of wonderful things to just let you know that are going on. The first is that the president and i will travel to copenhagen in october for c40s annual mayors summit. Its a very exciting. Tyron jew will also be with us and also welcome back mike hymns from puc because the c40 organization is honoring clean water sf with a special award, international award. They are also going to be honoring pucs green bond programs so San Franciscos going to get a lot of love and mike hymns has been approved to travel and accept the award on the citys behalf and c40 will create a cities 100 report where they feature 100 of the mom ambitious Climate Action and we will be featured in that report and its a wonderful is way 20 validate what city agencies. Weak of october 7th, fleet woke. When they think about fleet week my guess is you and most people think about the blue angels. It turns out fleet week from a city family perspective is the time of year when the federal agencies, like fema, and on the army core of engineers and state agencies all come to San Francisco and they do drills. They chose a theme. Last years theme was how are we going to get fuel to San Francisco after an earthquake . Because all of our fuel comes from one operation on the peninsula. And if there are no roads or everyone else is trying to get that fuel and you cant get it any other way how do we get fuel. This year they chose, as the drill, is debris management. So because were talking about debris, our department now comes in and is a central role. Our zero waste team has been at the table for months now planning for this exercise that will happen the week of october 7th. Its very exciting. And we got in fact one of the principles of debris management is going to be diversion. Its to be avoid going to landfills. So were making the case which means we need to think about it intentionally and where we bring things and where we stage items and what kind of equipment we might need. To mark your cal lers, october 7th a monday, theres going to be a mayoral press event at pier 27. So pier 27 is the terminal cruise ship terminal and theyll have all these big dosers and a lot of fun for kids who like Big Equipment to see what kind of earthmoving and debris management equipment looks like but they will be talking about the Important Role of debris management so its great if the commission on the environment someone can be there to answer questions if they come up on the role of zero waste. So thats the weak of october 7th. You can be, as you watch the blue angels later in the week you can think that we are all working inside rooms talking about debris. The civil grand jury meets regularly and selects topics that they want to focus on. Recently they focused on the need for adding saltwater pump stations for the emergency firefighting system. That weve got pump stations on parts of the city but not necessarily on the west side of the city or the marina area and so having the ability to take saltwater in and use it as a way of fire suppression, especially after a major earthquake is interested. Thement department of average was asking you to comment on the impacts of saltwater being used in this manner. What came out of this report was that there nodes to be a deeper study on how the city puts this in place so puc, the Fire Department, and our department were asked to ask how a study would be presented to the board of supervisors. We are not a lead on this and we are in consultation but its really the puc and the Fire Department who will take the lead. I wanted to let you know because we are mentioned in this civil grand jury report. Finally, since were on the subject of the earthquakes, i dont know how many of you were in San Francisco in 1989 or alive in 1989. It was it is the 30th anniversary on october 17th of the earthquake. I myself was on the bay bridge when it happened. I have a traumatic earthquake story but it means a lot to me thinking about 30 years ago and theres going the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team is putting together a resource fair on earthquakes. Well table there as well if you want to come by on october 17th, check it out, support our efforts and think about the 30th anniversary. So with that, that is my directors report. Thank you. Any questions . Any Public Comments . Next item. The next item is item 14 committee reports. This item is up for discussion. Commissioner just briefly because weve discussed most of the items already so august 12th, we recommended the commissioner on the environment adopt of 2019 reduce risk pesticide list and also there was block buster presentation on construction and demolition, the zero Waste Program was very good. So hopefully, staff can provide more details if there are interests or request for information from the commissioner. We ordinance concerning large Renewable Energy requirements and we also recommended that the commissioner adopt the ordinance concerning eb charging. Any Public Comment . Thank you, commissioner. Next item. The next item is item 15 announcements. This item is for discussion. Director rafael. Thank you. One announcement, i would love for alex and cindy to come up if you would and just announce yourselves. Youve made it through this entire meeting. You should let people know who you are because you are new employees to the department. You didnt introduce yourself earlier. What did you for the department and what did you before you came. All right. Hi, im alex bogden, im a member of the department on the outreach program. Im a senior strategist focused on transportation, energy and climate. Previously, i spent a number of Years Software company s. A. P. Doing marketing and Community Engagement as well as internal and external and most recently spent a short stint with j. P. Morgan chase. Why are you excited to be here. I had always been passionate about the environment and i had run a number of sustainable initiatives at s. A. P. And have done things such as volunteer my time and im excited to be here and have an impact. Thank you. I willing overseeing the departments Climate Action strategy that the Environmental Justice program and also the Green Building program. Before joining the department, i was with the city of san jose for a yearandahalf and previous to that i managed policy and planning and districting the departments sustainability initiative. So i am very excited to be back in San Francisco and working with a great group of colleagues that i previously had an opportunity to work with and also working with debbie and the commissioner here. Thank you for having me. Welcome back. Welcome. Any questions . Director rafael. Oh, commissioner haun. First of all thanks to alex for participating in the prior weekend in the mayors battle for the bay environmental clean up. It was great to have such strong and departmental participation and of course welcome back cindy, its great to have you back and we appreciate your efforts on everything from all the good work that you are going to do for us in the Climate Change program. Any Public Comments . Next item, please. Clerk the next item is item 16 the business feature agenda items. Charles sheen, this item is discussion and possible action. Thank you. The next Operations Committee meeting is october 16th. The policy committee scheduled for october 28th will be canceled. And we are still looking for a date in november. And the next Commission Meeting is november 26th. At that Commission Meeting, one of the key items on the agenda is the directors performance
