Example here where opt out notices are mailed. Those opt out notices are required by state law and required timeframe of two 2 months out of launch. We cant shave time there. Thats a fixed activity. But as we come through the Program Design phase and think more about how quickly we can act, those are some of the areas where i think we might be able to shave some time if we are given the latitude to do that. Supervisor john avalos when it comes to assessing the competing rate, the pg e rate that we are trying to come under or come at for the light green option, thats very predictable, right, we have the right information to the California Public Utilities Commission where the rates are. Its not like its a moving target that its going to delay anything. It is a moving target that we follow. We know where it is and we participate in the proceedings when its set. What kind of anticipation do we see, we have generally in terms of anticipating any rates that pg e might try to have for the Ca

Well talk in a future item, well see pg e this summer Financing Options proposing the rates for green tariff option and that will help us gauge the co
For us to, for both staff to at least discuss that. I certainly as the puc hears from the puc staff, i would like to get a sta sense from our lafco staff as to what they are thinking in terms of an expedited timeline. That would be helpful for me. Supervisor john avalos thank you, i appreciate that as well. I think the lafco staff nancy and others looking at the other programs out there and have some ideas for how we can leverage some of the work thats already been done and so its not just all on their shoulders and they can assist with the effort. I think its a great suggestion. Okay, seeing no other members with comments or questions, we can continue with the next part of the presentation with the department of the environment. Thank you, commissioners, this is a great day. I just wanted to make a couple of comments about activities that the department of the environment is doing and has been doing that are going to intersect with cca and talk about things that are on going right now
Modify our Contracting Authority so we can build a portfolio of resources that are costeffective to make the commitments in the supply market of a duration to allow us to have a stable program. That was part of the function that shell was providing for us. With shell out of the picture, we are talking about new ideas of changing the contract approach that we have authority for. Then we need to complete and present our rate setting and Program Design. Unlike our prior cleanpowersf Program Design and rate making process we had done that in tandem. What im proposing here is to take those steps in parallel. I think we can do that because now we are not talking about figuring out the cost and then setting a rate. We are talking about setting a rate at the pg e rate and then building a cost profile, a supply that fits within that ceiling. So i think we can parallel track those staff efrs with the rate fairness board and with staff on the Program Design and consultants on Program Design. Supe
