Good morning. I want to thank everyone for being here to examine what social Media Companies are doing to combat terrorism, including terrorist propaganda and terrorist recruitment efforts online. The positive contributions of social media platforms are well documented. Youtube, facebook, and twitter, among others, help to connect people around the world, give voice to those oppressed by totalitarian regimes and provide a forum for discussions of every political, social, scientific, and cultural stripe. These services have thrived online because of the freedom made possible by the uniquely american guarantee of free speech and by a light touch regulatory policy. But as is so often the case, enemies of our way of life have sought to take advantage of our freedoms to advance hateful causes. Violent Islamic Terrorist Groups like isis have been particularly aggressive in seeking to radicalize and recruit over the internet and various social media platforms. The companies that our witnesses
Costs that were charged by pg e that we pay today at 1. 8 cents a kilowatt hour. Thats one of the cost element that builds our cost profile. When you add all of our cost profile elements up, its around an average cost of about 10 cents. So, you can see that top black line shows that when were selling to a retail Enterprise Department customer, we have some contribution above our costs. On this slide its estimated at about 4 cents a kilowatt hour. When were selling to a general Fund Department customer, were selling well below our cost. We are expecting that transmission and distribution cost element to increase. We have been forecasting increases in our Budget Planning for a number of years now because we are seeing the end of our longterm agreement we had with pg e for distribution and transmission services. That agreement is referred to as the Interconnection Agreement or commonly its referred to the ia from 1978, expires in july of 2015. With that expiration, we expect to see our tr
55 water, 45 . It seems like the revenue thats generated from the water side ~ would be much greater than the revenue generated from the power side. I imagine its like night and day the difference between the two. Our water from hetch hetchy come right through the mountain tunnel, right, it doesnt have any other place it goes so its all the water in our system goes through there. Seem like that would be the larger bulk of what would be paying for the cost of the mountain tunnel, the water. So, its an agreement that happened in 1985. The water Sales Agreement . Well, where they identify the proportion cost of these assets, 185. What was the rationale . You know, we are continuing to research the rationale. I dont have a good answer for that question. I would love to hear that rationale. It doesnt make much sense to me, and if theres a way that we can have a new rationale, that would be great. And were looking at that as well because but we have to work with our wholesale customers becau

With that expiration, we expect to see our transmission and distribution rate rise to the red line, the red dash line you see here at about 3. 4 cents a kilowatt hour. We are in ongoing conversations, ongoing litigation, regulatory proceedings that influence what that number ultimately will be, but that is the n
Go over the presentation. Thank you. Barbara hale, a sis tent january manager for power. Good afternoon. ~ assistant general manager as the general manager said, im going to go over the hetchy system and the benefits that have accrued to the city as a result of it. Our Customer Base and costs, challenges and consequences were currently facing, and the options we have in front of us for addressing those challenges, as well as what that means, the overall picture means for cleanpowersf as we see it. Skew me. So, clerk, im going to switch to the other microphone and the overhead. The powerpoint just disappeared. So, from these slides i should be able to go through fairly quickly.
