~ i know in the program ms. Hale had up about hetch hetchy power, showed basically a net zero gain to San Francisco. There are potentially other gains to the city and county of San Francisco and thats one of the issues of the rfp is to look at both in terms of jobs and impacts to the economy. And i will also say that even within our own cleanpowersf program right now, some of those costs are discretionary in terms of local buildout. So, what we were looking for if our consultant is to talk to us...

Done. We, as an agency, have invested a lot of money in work by entities like public power and local power how do we make sure that their work is incorporated into whatever happens. Because we do are have work that has been done that provides a potential framework and i dont know what that looks like in terms of an rfp but i think its important for us to make sure that work consult ants have done for lafco is a part of what is done and we dont lose that work and the other question ive had for qu...

However, i would still say that the advocate Community Still wants something that pushes the envelope a little more than the rfp suggest, especially ...

Their thoughts on this. Thank you very much i really appreciate the leadership that you are showing on this issue and we know our chair could not be here today but hes also been a very important player in all of this and i see some of the advocates who had been working on this for quite sometime and i want to thank you for being here and i think for being more patient than probably anyone should be i think it makes sense to figure out how we move forward with the build out and i think that the r...

Reflected more what the community was looking for and the robustness for the kind of program were working for. However, i would still say that the advocate Community Still wants something that pushes the envelope a little more than the rfp suggest, especially on selecting sites. We kind of got word from staff that we would downgrade the necessity of selecting sites beyond those that have already been identified by their sfpuc and sf environment.

Incorporated into whatever happens. Because we do are have work that has been done that provides a potential framework and i dont know what that looks like in terms of an rfp but i think its important for us to make sure that work consult ants have done for lafco is a part of what is done and we dont lose that work and the other question ive had for quite sometime is what is it that we, as a city, can do internal ly as well to move the ball rolling and one question is the issue of the h bonds an...
