Sfgovtv, Charles Kremenak who make our meetings available online, as well as transcript. Madam clerk, any announcements. Please silence all cell phones. Thank you, madam clerk and can you please call the first item. Item no. 1 is ordinance amending the environment code to adjust the incentive in the Solar Energy Incentive program. The author of this item is president london breed, if you would like to make opening comments. Yes, thank you i know we have Laurie Mitchell here who will be making a presentation shortly, but i just wanted to make a few comments about your go Solar Program in the city. Were making a few technical amendments to this program today. Despite the fact that other utilities around the state are ramping down their incentive like the city of palo alto and silicon valley, for example, im happy to see the go Solar Program in the city is still going strong and that we as a city are continuing to invest in incentives like this particular program. We must continue to supp
People are in their immigration courts and how much their funding whether it is Legal Defense or education out reach, that San Francisco absolutely leads in that. San francisco will be spending 6. 8 Million Dollars to help to provide money for the Nonprofit Organization to provide whether it is Legal Defense or education or out reach to our immigrant communities and so i just want to put that for the record that we are spending 6. 8 on an ongoing basis and, so criticize us for being conservative with the budget and unfair. And i wanted to vote down time and time again, and but i have supported each one of these, for the immigrant complunts and i want to make that very clear, when you look at boston, la, new york san jose, santa clara washington, d. C. , again, all of them are spending not only a combination of their spending mostly a combination of city as well as private dollars, we are spending 6. 8 of our citys dollars. Not even including any of the philintropic money coming through
Thank you. Thank you very much, supervisor breed. My name is Laurie Mitchell and i manage the Renewable Energy group at sfpuc and we have slidess on the ordinance here. Im not sure if you can see it. There is something there we go. Really what were trying to do with this ordinance is to look forward and to expand on the success of the gosolarsf program to include additional programs such as rebates for electric Vehicle Infrastructure, Energy Storage and to expand upon our energyefficiency programs. So the new programs, as well as the current gosolarsf program is funded by the cleanpowersf and hetch hetchy power ratepayers. The agenda of what well cover today. One of the many things does is to integrate the program with the go solar sf program and its important to know that they have both common policy goals. Both programs seek continue vest in local programs and projects such as energyefficiency, storage, ev charging and affordable, cleaner, climateresponsibility electricity and to inv
Item eleven, and just a couple of announcements, i made this announcement at a Cultural Heritage Committee Meeting a few minutes ago. In the february 4th, chronicle, there was an article entitled preservation falls flat, and he made a suggestion about possibly creating plagues to talk about the outside of the building to talk about the stories inside the sense of place and i thought that that was a really good idea. And possibly food for thought, for this commission to take up further with the Planning Department staff to see if we can somehow encourage that. Second thing is that there was an email that was forwarded to me today about the California Arts Council creating the cultural cultural district, asking for a letter of interest from various organizations as well as local businesses to become part of their Pilot Program to further acknowledge diverse and Cultural Resources, to identify high concentration of Cultural Resources and activities thought that it would be a great idea if
