Good afternoon supervisors. Tom, from liveable city. We support electricification of the Transportation System and thank you for bringing forward ideas will support this. The science is behind this that depentedance on electric vehicles have disvajs as automobiles. They are energy intensive. Takeum an amount of space. A danger to pedestrians in order to get to Sustainable Transportation in the future. We need to focus on electrifying the vehicle fleet and also on car free living. 3 years ago we worked with supervisor mandelman looking at the service station gas station question. We want ev charging but could we think of the gas stations as supporting car free living in and so in that legislation we said, all right. Now, under code, if you stop dispensing morvehicle fuels and service stipulation has to go. It is right to strike that out. But in the currently legislation you become ev charge or stay a service station. We took a more fleckable frooch. No longer dispense motor fuel vehicles but you can allow ev charging, allow bike and car share. They are sustainable hubs people go, pick up a vehicle. Still allow the repair and service of vehicles. You will have repair we dont believe the current ordinance allows that. We recommend you add back that flexible to section 187 use the parking legislation as a guide and add it to 102 definitions so they can become sustainable mobility hubs and support. Are there other members that would like to speak on item one in the chamber . Moving to the remote call in line. We have 8 listens with 3 in the queue. James, take the first caller, please. Good upon afternoon, supervisor mark here. On behalf of officers ever teamster 665. We are supportive of expansion of ev charging throughout our city. Expansion will benefit both workers and residents who are migrating to electric vehicles. We support the amendments most specific low one concerning fleet charging which we believe should be dealt with separately. Commercial, expansion of floats going forward. This fleet charging its separate from all the other merits of electric vehicle charge nothing san front we are supporting. Fleet charging will have a Significant Impact on both work and residents. And we want that were hoping that everyone can see to it that we can review that impact on our city and neighborhoods and workers. Under separate legislation. We support this. We work the amendments as they are presented and we thank you for your time. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Im chris cane im the Government Affairs lead with electricifiy america the Largest Network of fast charging stations in the united states. We support this ordinance in many ways conversion of autoinfrastructure and charging infrastructure and stroll line permitting process. However, we have concerns about the applicablity ofbive 726 and ab1236 requires cities to stroll line permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. Ab1236 includes requirements jurisdiction must approve ev charging application by a Building Permit or nondiscretionary permit. The extent this ordinance revised zoning control tables to require conditional use authorization which it proposes. Not in compliance with 1236. Jurisdiction considering adopting cu permitting creating charging station when the use permit may be requested after the Building Official identified a specific adverse impact to health or safety as defined; is a concerning president. We agree the bureaucratic delays avoided and updating the planning code [inaudible] is a positive development. We wish to ensure a safe statute is submitted. We ask this committee amend in a way compliant with ab1236 and that would be by or moving conditional use authorization requirement. Policy that approves exiting process for autouses to ev charging stations remaining compliant with ab1236 is still public and positive for San Francisco. Thank you. Lets take the next caller if you would like to peek on item one, press star 3 to do so. Good afternoon supervisor and thank you for considering this legislation. Im joanaityis i represent ev go we commented last week. I want to reiterate the upon comments we made last week around the conditional use authorization process. Specifically by creating an overly challenging cu process the companies that are likely to be able to have the resources, money and time to comply are going to be the Largest Companies that have floats. What you are going to what that will result in smaller fleets will see this as one additional head wind. Will not have resources to perform all of the requirements of the complicated cu process and you will be penal iegz mall fleets and making them unable to electricifiy. We are hoping that the cu be recently. Our preference is we not have a cu process but we would recommend we the cu process follows the time lines and guidance.

I will have mr. John cher come up and tell what you is going on. I have slides. Thank you. Im Jonathan Cherry with Workforce Development. Here to describe items 4 and 5 and joined by staff from the department of public works. This legislation would implement asspekts of the parkmerced project the Development Agreement approved the reconfiguring of streets with public rightofway exchanged for sections of private land will be new city streets deals with 1c and 1d of the project and similar to legislation approved for 1a and b. If i could get the next slide i will provide a brief background and explain how todays legislation fits. Over all, as shown on the slide, the project includes 5,000 new Housing Units plus one for one replacement 1500 rent controlled units with new units with new buildings. Tenability hos choose to move will preserve their existing reason levels after the move. There are other Public Benefits here an extensive owner maintained open space network. Transit improvements, 3 new muni platforms. And redesign of the car centric 1950s system with connectivity and safety for people walking and on bikes. So, the project sponsor is work to a start of construction in the first half of next year on phases 1a and 1b of the project. You see here that the phases are in the top left and bottom right of this slide. Completion of subdivision actions for subphases 1c and 1d, which are in blue, is needed as an important next step toward the start of construction. The subdivision maps for 1c and d approved by public works. The expectation is final map motions may come to the board for consideration then of this year. Will so, as i mentioned, the legislation before you allows are if the approved street reconfiguration in 1c and d. Public works director has certain conscience easements and protections that will remain in place during and throughout construction until new public streets are accepted by the city. I will quickly show you slide 5 in red vacated. The tea would receive more land in new public streets from the landowner. Part of the street vacation. And in green on the map you see the areas dedicated to the see as new public streets. And in phase one d there are no street vacations proposed. On slide 6, this is the proposed puc sewer and water easements that would be part of theistry street reconfigurations easements will not be need following construction and in the place ease ams remain in place for active lines until acceptance of new utilities by the city. Which time, the interim easements would terminate. Puc recommended approval on may 24th of this year. The final slide 7, so to recap. For item 4, which saturday residence lulgz of intent we would request that the mittee amend the resolution of intent on page 7, line 23. To add september 20th. As the public hearing date to consider the ordinance. And we would then ask the item 4 recommended as amended to the full board. And for item 5, we would ask that the ordinance be referred without recommendation to the board of supervisors meeting on september 20th of 22. With that, thank you very much for your time and im available for questions along with public work staff online. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Cherry. I have a question. Because during your presentation you talked about the other 2 phases. And you know what the relationship between this face and the other 2 phases. These 2 phases and the next 2 phases, can you give more detail what is outstanding that nodes to happen in in terms of legislation. Yes. Back to slide 3. Subphases 1a and b. Which are a total of 1, where are 13 units completed there subdivisions actions and approved final maps. We have street designs and there are buildings with site permits. Once they have those they Start Construction early next year. 1c and 1d we dont have an exact start date. It is i think they follow on after they compolice construction of the first 2 subphases and there is a representative here if you want more details. But generally, the subdivision of the 2 subphases in blue and the street vacations being proposed as part of that; are needed for the projects financing to allow construction to start on subphases 1a and 1 b. We brought this street vacation the items are coming now because of the long time line in the state code for street vacations. So there will be building designs. There will be final maps coming. Through the process in the next few months. This has the longest lead item so we brought this first y. Thank you, mr. Cherry. Could you leave that map up. Sfgovtv i asked this because the project of entitled in 2011 it has been a long time. And we often get questions from residence den in parkmerced what is going on. I dont know who is here. The thing has been the discussion in point of contention with folks in the community is the pedestrian bridge that connected to the other side of brotherhood way to get to st. Thomas moore. And the school. And so i asked you questions because i [inaudible]. Through the Transportation Authority we were informed you know, a couple months back that the cta has this area as a study area through connect sf, connecting the daily city bart station and pedestrian and bicycle paths through the other eastern side of brotherhood. I want to make sure for the public watch thanksgiving and watching us do this legislation on the street vacation that we are connecting. We have connect sf and the efforts we do to make sure that people understand the sequencing of decisions and when things are coming. Okay. Good afternoon, im phil with mack mus real estate partners. I understand the question correctly, it is where are we in terms of starting construction on phase one a and b as well as what does this mean for starting construction on c and d. I will give you a background the project was entitled in 2011 there was a ceqa lawsuit that took 3 and a half years inform 2014 i 5 year dent on the property and aimed to design the streets and buildings within 21 2 years and construct them within 21 2 years. Around 2019, it was when that 5 year period was up. We had not finalized the street improve am permit and needed to refinance the property then covid19 hit with economic impacts. We have not started a and b yet. Plan as it sits today, there are 2 things, a rirment from lendser to subdivide phase one c and d so we can take that land and use it as construction collateral with the lands in phase 1a and b to get a loan. First subdivide and then construct. At this point, we are looking at end of quarter 2 next year. To hopeful low Start Construction as long as the maps get approved on the schedule we participate. And as long as construction pricing is favorable and et cetera. But following the construction of phase one and b that is an 18 month process to 24 months. And i will note that phase one a and be have replacement united included for the units to be remove in the 1c and d. There will be no removal of any unit in phase 1a and b and we are 30 months out before there would be any demolition occurring on parkmerced of existing units. And how about the timing of the temporary or permanent. Jot timing for the bridge is unknown. It has been, we discussed the bridge may have to be corrected a street improve am permit which is phase 1b. Until we understand whether it is included we dont know when tell be constructed it needed to be designed. There is a time for a design prove to occur. Thank you very much. Welcome.

I wanted to start by saying as we speak experiencing a record breaking heat wave and i spoke by phone with mt arc director in london. Sweating it out now to verify that. This is the latest example of more extreme weather patterns from changing upon climate. I will notityerate all the day its is crisis for our city, planet and species this hearing is intendsed focus on the most person local actions we can take to address at this time decarbonizing buildings. Bla report on the subject which we previously held a hearing on. And since then, we adopted more aggressive climate goals and the Climate Action plan. The d. Environment to propo vied a down payment for an equity hub and a financing study for the Climate Action plan. Tomorrow we vote to approve a city budget this furthers that can 2. Sick Million Dollars we fought hard to secure. Todays hear suggest focused on the building Operations Component of the Climate Action plan. To present a road map to building decarbonization. Work has lead to this presentation and discussion from sfe. A Large Coalition voosz Environmental Justice and labor and Climate Action community and from our office. I am grateful for all who pushed us here today. Without further adieu. Colleagues i want to welcome up cindy from the department of environment to present on this item. Good afternoon im cindy im the Climate Program manager at San Francisco department of environment. As supervisor mar said a year ago there was a hearing on the bla report and my colleague charles who is joining me virtually gave a presentation on the departments behalf. One of the recommendations to develop a building decarbonization road map. We created that road map. Today im here to present on that report. This is the agenda for todays presentation. I will spend the bulk of time on item 4 the upon range of strategies and actions needed to decarbonize San Franciscos belling stock. First i will discuss who data informed the proisz of developing strategies and actions to decarbonize bellings. I want to provide terminology. Decarbonization is e eliminating Green House Gas from buildings and now our Promising Technology is electricification. That is replacing natural gas with electric technologies that use clean electricity. In the future there may be new innovations in carbon reduction space. Today we focus on electric. This shows our historic e missions. The chart shoes total city e missions we see 41 of e missions from Green House Gas. And this is primarily from comp bustion of natural gams 87 of our building operation e missions from natural gas. The bar chart on the right shows the break down of e missions with residential and commercial sector. And we have seen significant decrease in building e missions since 1990. What is interesting is hacommercial building e missions used to be 55 of our building and today it is 42. And we have seen a 67 reduction in commercial building since 1990 points to the work we need in the residential sector. Next i am provide an over view on community solutions. The different types of solutions that are proposed are ground in the data and cocreated with a wide range of stake holders. Is this shoes the building cocreating electric programs and policy options in 2019 we launched zero e Mission Task Force with 4 subgroups and Steering Committee worked on developing the strategies and out come the community wanted to see in the space. We took them to the public vetted through workshops. In english and language and web nears and Online Platform where people can leave feedback. We had a Task Force Report and this feedback informed the Climate Action plan. The decarbonization road map is the building operation chapter prosecute our Climate Action plan. Discuss the goal and principle in shaped this road map. Through the chapter 9 update of the environment code that was passed by the board of supervisors a year ago, we have established a sector based gas reduction of 61 by 2030 and net zero by 2040. We have goals for each and the building operations we have a goal for all new building to be net zero by 2021 and all large existing commercial buildings to be net zero by 2035. This slide shoes the principles the Climate Solutions are root in the. San franciscos prop to reaching net zero grounds in the racial and social equity. Reducing building e missions offers an opportunity to advance other city key priorities such as Public Health. 1 publicity 9 billion dollars. There is a lot of Economic Opportunity in electrifying building result in 2,000 to 3,000 full time, 30 year career jobs across a range of occupations. Each building sector will have a different pact getting off natural gas and i will go through that. Starting with new construction covers all sectors there are 2 main proposed actions. Upon one policy put in place requires all new constructed buildings to are electric and need to update that ordinance to include alternateerations not included in the initial ordinance. So next is existing residential. Be all electric will be changing and will node to require inclusive engagement and stake hold torse cocreate the policies and provide funds to support solutions. Swon a time of replace am policy. Which means that when natural Gas Appliance at the ends of useful life it is replaced with all electric appliance this is the most Cost Effective time to replace because the marginal cost is small. Second policy a time of sale policy. San francisco has a Residential Energy conversation ordinance. And this could be expanded include a range of electric measures. As we evaluate the options we know we need to provide education for residents and make it easy. This includes stroll lining permitting and looking for additional ways through district scale electric solutions. The last item i want to discuss is something that supervisor mar mentioned the Climate Equity hum it start friday ideas from Community Stake holders. And if we go to the next slide, left year we had received funding from the board of spierzs to facilitate a press to better understand what the Climate Equity hub could be intended for a one stop shop for residentses that reflects San Francisco value in equity and he a Just Transition to a low carbon economy. Thus far we worked with a consultant and had 29 stake holder interviews and work groups the feedback from the stake holders is on this slide. We are going to have the final meeting next week to discuss the model for hub and potentially have seed fund to initiate this concept this fiscal year. For small commercial building near residential. Time of replacement the most Cost Effective okay. For large are commercial bellings there is complex technical and financial considerations. Using a building performance standard set the building performance standard in term Green House Gas e missions. There are 6 steles that have already implemented building performance standardses including new york city and boston. There is a couple states. And in january the white house launched the building Performance Coalition work group. Next slide. Last but not least existing municipal buildings they represent a small fraction of the Green House Gas e missions, gentleman can lead by example. To eliminate emissions from their own buildings. The Public Sector can support economic develop and want send signals to the market place. Through the Green Building task force we are updating chapter 7 it require all municipal buildings to be all electric and have it make sure this is reflected in the capitol plan. There are many cross cutting objections we are support the over all success of it and that some of those priorities include Workforce Development and tenant protections. For those leaving carbon intensive industries and disadvantaged workers. Seek employment. Must guide our Policies Program and investments. We want to make sure we provide protections to tenantses and ensure upgrades for making on buildings do not displace renters. We will discuss next steps. While this road map does provide a path way forward. There are significant challenges and incredible transfurthermoration is going to be needed to take us to the next place. We cant do that alone. We will mead to engage the community, business and professional organizations in the evidence and impelementation of policies supporting this. Yl equal engage am through Capacity Building and grant makes and out reach around building electric and lastly we will need to commission robust Technical Analysis and economic studies to share to ensure the design and effective and equitable policies. That concludes my presentation im happy to answer questions. Thank you, i question we allow Public Comment. There arefect this ismented to share comments on the belling road map before we get to questions and discussion. Go to Public Comment on this item. Thank you, are there members of public had would like to speak on item 6. Approach the podium. Good to see you im so excite third degree is Getting Started my comment is brief i will read it. Now come your task is hop to it figure out how to get the funding. The good new system that you are a priors and one of the wealthiest cities in the world. You dont have to put up with any excuse you will hear a lot. Getting the methane out of our Building System a critical part of the Climate Action plan and something that we will have a quick pave inrousing our ghgs, which is good news because we are behind our climate goals. And you know theres are terrible time us hear that many parts of the world are hotter than the pits of hell because of climate change. And unless we do it and do this quickly. We cannot make our climate goals we are behind the curve on them. I look forward to hearing and reading that you are moving boldly ahead on this because you will go down in history for it.

Here we are a progressive city with progressive leaders im look to you, supervisors, for leadership and climate transformation for electrifying building and getting gas out of homes in our home we dont use the stove it is hard to breathe when we do. I think about all of the big landlords and how they are building houses. Apartments and whats going in them. You guys you men and women, individuals can influence the safety of our homes. And our trajectory for climate mitigation. So im look to you to fund the building decarbonization project. Why thank you for sharing your comments. Folks on item sick the Climate Action plan item.

Of the Climate Action plan. Thank you. Next caller. Francisco decosta i want to talk on a number of issues. First thing i feel strongly our restaurants need a say in this matter. We need to do a Needs Assessment how we will do it. Over a period of time. And goals for year 2035. But in the interim, we need to have some methodology to get the Empirical Data on all our bellings. Concrete buildings. And we need to challenge ourselves, why are we still building skyscrapers . And what are those impacts going to be. We seem to understand that we have many, many acres prone to flooding. From fourth and king going to geneva where gas spills in the air. And our city never once talked about it. If you go to Hunters Point shipyard and we have a parcel e2, they have wells making gas wells. That spew methane gas in the air. We never once mentioned about this. So i was lynch to chu from department of environment. Thank you, mr. Decosta. We are going to switch gears we have in person Public Comments. On item 6. This is the citys 2022 Climate Action plan on todays agenda. Can you approach the podium you have 2 minutes to speak. Hi.

Supreme courts decision limiting the power to regulate Green House Gas e missions and mansion and anticlimate disaster the u. S. Senates are setbacks at the federal level that does not stop the cities and states from acting we dependow the local leaders to step up and show the courage we know you have. Take seriously the presentation you heard. And many things, thifrngs to priors mar for calling the mote and how complex an issue this will be. If we are successful address thanksgiving results will be effective and ensuring everyone live in safe and Healthy Homes training workers and contractors to get it done the climate hub you issued general fund money will be key in helping the sectors figure out challenges they might face and find resources to address. People have to understand how important getting rid of Gas Appliances is to health and safetiment [speak fast] getting the word oust with whatever it takes do what it takes to Fund Legislation bonds establishing a public bank. State or federal grants so everyone in the city can pip inspect this giant endeavour. I will close by quoting, people see climate as a tomorrow problem.

Good afternoon supervisors, im harry i have the pleasure of chairing the local sierra Group Conversation committee. Early 30 year we did sends a letter to you, supervisor mar, and it is about the need to establish a Pilot Program to begin to address the question. Of how do we decarbonize our built environment . It was rather disappointing a couple montes to read that the park taken the step forward. The first in the bay area. Perhaps the first on the west coast. Ithaca, new york is the other city that has done this. And seems to me if we are agreed that there is a Climate Crisis and that carbonization in our buildings is really a major issue we have to deal with. The costs are e normous, we need to begin to plan ask so whether or not well is money, it is included in the budget for this year. It would be very helpful to at least have a task force appointed bid board that could report and give us a time line to say, here is a projection of what we want to accomplish by this date and by this date. We dont have a lot of sometime this is a major step we could move forward on. Thank you very much for your time thank you for your comments are there other members who would like to speak on item 6 .

And that was the left caller in the queue. Thank you. With that, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor mar . Thanks chair ronen and advocates and all of you have been a key part of pushing us as a city and us as city leaders to step up and address the Climate Emergency and much more bold and progressive and bold and aggressive way in the city. We should lead the country on the issues not being a step behind. Ithaca, new york as barry said even around building decarbonization work. So, i did have a few questions about the building decarbonization road map. And thank you again for your work on this and the staff. I want to say that i think that this is a step forward to start taking the building Operations Component of the Climate Action plan and turning it in a road map for building decarbonization but it is is still i foal like what has been presented today and what you guys produced, back in january is lacking in the necessary details. To ensure we will really be move thanksgiving worked for in a bolder way. And really to ensure we will meet our goal of net zero by 2040. It is really i appreciate that the that it has you know key strategies and policies laid out and in the key sectors identified new construction and existing buildings. Broken brown by municipal. I dont well is so far there has been a total lack of time lines and met tricks on how we will measure progress and of course funding and financing of the work. You know is still not there is nothing you know this hen presented. So i wanted see if you could respond. Like. If there is a plan to put more details in the building decarbonization road map time lines or progress and then financing. I think it is solid on the strategies and policies, i appreciate that. Thank you, supervisor mar. I concur the road map is a shell and does not have all of the details. We do have detailed work plans for all the different sectors moving forward. Right now we are trying to focus on the existing residential sector. So, after we conclude the Climate Equity hub process, you know we are hope to convene a group of stake holders to get input on the policy options. And moving those forward. In the residential and commercial sector now our next plan is to look at major renovations and working with the necessary stake holders to understand the different types of triggers this we necessary to out line in the legislation. And the municipal sector made progress on chapter 7 we are ready to introduce legislation soon once we find a sponse. Details are not within it is road map we are done a lot of work to makure we are moving ahead to accomplish those goals. I want to mention we also just concluded the first 6 mons of looking at progress in the Climate Action plan and we will be presenting this to our commission of the environment on tuesday. That looks at all the different actions and strategies andment aring back to us. We hope the ends of the year to start work on a dash board to make the information you just requested available to the public so people can see the progress and ask questions about it. Great. That sounds great. Exciting. To hear that you are able to access fund to create i dash board to chart this work. It is my sense one of the challenges in correct mow if im wrong in the department really moving more aggressively in flushing out the planful is staff capacity constraind and reliant on outside Funding Grant funding. But we are able to take steps towards investing general fund dollars in the Department Last year and bigger steps this year. What is the staffing capacity now. Building decarbonization and Operations Component of the Climate Action plan . The capacity is limited. Staffing shortages are real. Hopeful low we will hire focus on the building prescription sector of the Climate Action plan. Now from the add back from last year one residential building decarbonization coordinator spearheading the climate hub in the residential sector. One works fwif of the time on munl bellings and small funding from dbi we work on building codes and error small portion of the commercial building sector. That is mostly enforcing existing ordinances the existing building ordinance and upcoming ordinance 100 renewable electricity for large commercial bellings. It is less than one full time person now. Different people. Thats not correct it is about 2 full time staff people. We have plans for the fiscal year to really invest in building operations so we can implement the policy and programs that everyone cease necessary. Thank you. You said there is one full time. One full time and peace of different people that add up to a second person. And do you recall hawas your budget principle that was presented to the mayor not approve exclude added back in the budget process . For building operations sector work. I believe we had 5 to sick people we wanted hire in building operation sector and it has been scaled back to 3 appeal with the potential budget we have moving forward that will focus on the residential sector. Really leading this building decarbonization and also hiring someone who does Workforce Development and Community Engage am. Got it. And for the limited the 2. 6 Million Dollars that the board added back to the department for staffing and Climate Action plan, is any of that used to increase staff capacity for building operation sector . Yes. I apologize my last comment was in the clear our intention is t hire 3 for the building operation sector. Sounds great. Yea. And then i big piece of this work and looking ahead to achieve goals and moving boldly is resources. And financing plan. And it will require some public subsidy to really get this work going especially given where we are now. So can you share an update on the financing plan work that that was made public through the add back the board did last year in Million Dollars. Last were we were able to hire a Consultant Team that was the center for lot Energy Environment from beshg low and civic makers to develop a long terp funding study for sudden front. Thus for, we had 2 large convenings with Community Based organizations and Financial Experts and other individuals this have contributed to a draft funding study report this has been shared with our department. We are going through that draft report and rewith the Advisory Committee and hope to have i final report in september and work with civic makers to do out reach on that report to really see that the best options are for San Francisco to move forward. So by the end of this year we will have all that information public low available and also socialize with our important stake holders that contributed to a lot of the work we have been doing thus far. Thank you for this update. And i guess i had one final comment or question. Just for the over all really person work i think the zero e missions Building Task force you referenced in your presentation did help to inform the planning for this road map. And it goes become to last year had that task force is meeting. And i think a similar task force is critical for continuing stake holer engage am as the work moves forward and ramps up. And irrelevant for over site and and excuse me, holding the department and our city accountable. So00 eyemented ask. Would you see a value in reson venaled task force of like the specific low focused on building operations. And implementation of the building road map. Or for the Climate Action plan as a whole . Yes , i think that was a great model and manage we could help exempt impmeant the action plan and building operation sector. Great to hear that. To ensure strong engage am from the stake holders in the city pushing us on this. Thank you. Thanks chair melgar. Thank you supervisor mar. I had a couple questions. So first, thank you for your amazing work. I always appreciate hearing your analysis and you know know everything this come out is topnotch. I had a question after looking at this about participation of communities. So you know, on an economic level, decarbonization hits someone different if than i live in my neighborhood. In a Single Family home afford a wolf stove over machine who does not have heat in rent controlled studio apartment with you know 3 kids. So im wondering in terms of you know your the strategies and the support actions and operationalidesing this; who is advising the department in terms of you know sort of the economics of it and how it interacts with rent control pass throughs and those issues . Thats one question. My second question is upon you have been since most of the admissions residential low from heat and cooking, im wondering about the cultural aspects in the commune participation who is informing the department who you are bringing in the conversation i was born and raised in elsalvador. Our National Dish is yummy but cooked on an open fire on a grill example you notice it is an integral park of identity i cook them on an electric griddle. But oftentimes for traditional dishes that are developed over an open fire or high heat. Well is a transition that nodes to happen and it is easy to you know, convey the message in a way that is received you know appropriate low and not you know as a culturaly dismissive or disrespectful. Im you know im out so i want to make sure when we are doing is effective and the same time respectful and folks can make the transification because they want to they see it good for themselves, planet and there is not resistance because we are not having that message go through appropriately thank you, those are Great Questions i will answer the first question really about the economics of building the decarbonization and costs. Last year, supervisor mar did commission a cost that are extensive. Now what we are doing is going to try to work to understand the different packages electric packages property for different buildings and understand the income and where subsidies are needed. Not all income levels will be available to afford the expense of electric options moving forward. And our intentions are through the longterm funding study i tuck body and through dog Economic Analysis to understand who can afford what to make sure that as we propose the policies we bring forth that information extending the subsidies needed to support our low income communities. I think twhoon is shaped bite Economic Analysis but as supervisor mar said, i tried to acknowledge in our presentation, is this we need to do more commune engage am. We will work with groups and other different Environmental JusticeCommunity Organizations to help make sure that we are doing thing in a equal and culturally appropriate way. With the money we received from the board of priors moving forward, we are going to plan to do an Environmental JusticeGrant Program. Give money to commune based organizations so they can work with the communities that they are rooted in. What we than the organizations in San Francisco have those close ties and understand constituents better than i can the goal is to work with the organizations to community the messages around building decarbonization. The second question, around cooking. I think that is everyones big fear that we will come and take their gas stoves away and that will require an education and out reach with compassion and understanding this people have use said natural gas for the last 100 years and it will be a transition for people to get off of it. We are hoping to do something calls, energy fair in a box we go to different faris. Bring induction stoves. People learn about them and we can do different cooking demonstrations. We have done a couple during the pandemic online. We hope in the fall we will do in person engage am. So people can see the out put from induction stoves and learn how they are healthier for you. Thank you, i really appreciate that. So you know people have been using fire to cook for thousands of years. Natural gas late 1800s in london fire people using beginning of time, yes. You was going to add the department of Public Health through the sugar tax program has been funding all sorts of Community Efforts to help folks develop Cooking Skills especially like for kids. It would be a Great Partnership if we could do both at the same time. You know i would encourage you guys to look at that. Because i than there has been a curriculum developed by may an association in the tenderloin for Public Schools and other folks. Would be good to look at to leverage what others are doing to incorporate it. Thank you very much. Great idea. Thank you for sharing it. Thanks, again. Chair melgar and colleagues. I want to close by acknowledging really all the advocates and the groups that have worked with us in the department of environment. The emraled cities collaboratives. Climate emergency coalition. 350 bay area and climate reality project and others. And thank you, cindy for your presenting today as well as all of your work on the road map and the Climate Action plan. And charles and you know who has been instrumental and tyrone jew who hit the grounds running and supervisor mandelman for his partnership on this work as limp clothe its is clear we need a whole of government response to the Climate Crisis that meets a scale of the crisis. There is critical work on the local level and natural gas in buildings is the biggest source of Green House Gas in San Francisco we have to lead and move quickly. I intends to follow fruthe hearing with actions including legislation to form a building Decarbonization Task force to provide a space for work across departments in climate and labor stake hold torse remove Green House Gases and provide over site and input to make the actions a reality. I will be pushing to update our chapter 7 of the environment code as soon as possible to realize all electric municipal buildings and to introduce the priority policies needed to begin decarbonizing large commercial buildings as well. As we update the calf capitol plan in the coming months early next year, i believe that we must prioritize Green Infrastructure in the plan and as a city, we have not oozed bonds to full po serb in Climate Action and meet the goals we set and that are required to have a liveable planet we use every tool at disposal including bond financing. Thanks, colleagues for this hearing i look forward to further work and discussion on the actions. With that, i request this we go ahead and foil this hearing today. Okay. Lets do that.
