Be other residential customers who will be likely hearing about the cleanpower sf program and they might say even though were not on their front porch and that is great and we will add them to the list of customers who will receive the opt out notice. There are those from the group they will say i heard about this and i dont want it. Okay we hear you. Youre not part of target group and there is a mention of it in the data base. We have a question. Thank you. Im in the same section youre talking about on the notification piece and i wanted to comment on the new emerging demographic that we all recognized from the last election that i think has huge potential to be participants and be excited about this program and young communities of color and different kinds of communities that before hadnt been as engaged, and it seems like a way to engage and educate those communities that really around social media, and i saw in here there is a big focus working with cbos and operating their networ
Hope that other participants in the dialogue will as well, but it will be a challenge for us to make sure folks are getting Accurate Information and really being educated about this choice. Very good. Thank you. Lets go on to Public Comment. This is on these three items. I dont have any cards before me. We will do three minutes per person. Good afternoon commissioners. Eric brooks representing San Francisco green party and the local Grassroots Organization our city. Hopefully you have read the email, all of you that advocates sent. There are concerns about okaying this very kind of light framework today that doesnt have a lot of detail in it. I want to start out to get to those concerns about talking about what commissioner torres raised in the code of conduct with pg e. We saw during the 2010 prop 16 attack on the Clean Energy Programs and Community Choice in california that it didnt matter that pg e didnt use rate payer funds they were able to argue that entire 46 million plus campai
Details of the early notification and Education Plan there, the framework is clear and i think its a good starting point to move forward for the city and i believe that while we have had comments about talking about caution i think theyre well meaning how to have a Successful Program but i think the success of the program is that we roll out quickly with the notification and the Education Plan. Thats going to be most meaningful. I also want to make sure that were really clear that the effort is really working in the deep green areas first and foremost where we know a particular target audience is for the message and we know how to craft that message for them as well. I think that is going to be significant. Were not reaching out to every population in San Francisco from the get go but the deep green area is where we need to focus the efforts on. This plan incorporates that and i believe its the right way to go. I would like to move forward approving something today that can later be im
Education Program Survey and early notification portions are the sort of the new pieces that arent required by state law. We are using those outreach efforts, those outreach components to inform who we talk to in the actual statutory opt out phase. We are not suggesting that anyone who is going to be served by cleanpower sf would not receive an opt out notification. Anyone who wishes to participate can participate which sounds like opting in, but we wont enroll them after we have included them in an opt out process. So i think we have worked with the City Attorney o this to make sure we are accurately understanding our obligation and that our approach is consistent with it. We think it is. And so were not always this careful with our language as we should be, but the actual steps will be anyone who says let me in will receive and be included in the opt out portion of the program. Thank you. Youre welcome. Can i add also the people who are seen in the green area that are saying i dont w
Being delivered right now that will shape or improve the developments and resources and financial modeling and make the economy more sustainable and provide economic benefits to our people and effectively reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. The way cleanpower sf has passed the board of supervisors is as opt out program and the language used in the outreach plan changes the character of the program the way the legislators envisioned it when passing cleanpower sf. We are concerned changing it in way discourages residents and more cost to the ratepayers. We hope we can take the basic structure of the document and required notifications and adjustments and also engages residents in civil discourse and Community Power but the lifetime of this program. Thank you very much. Thank you. I have one other card. Anyone else that would like to comment please come forward. Thank you.
