Understand me, then you can provide the services for the people thaw want to help because they have a place to live. You are doing it tailend, ass backwards. You have been doing this for well over several generations and thats why you have so many people homeless out on streets right now. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Well, i feel certain that you have the best of intentions but i ask, nonetheless, how is it that now while we are presently suing a number of important pharmaceuticals, manufacturers and their regional distributors for a significant sum of billions of dollars owing to their illegal conduct in the mass promotion of highly addictive substances and by we, i mean cities and counties and states throughout the county as plaintiffs in multiple lawsuits. Im glad that San Francisco has come around to join the litigation. How can it seem like a good idea for taxpayers, with the bill, for example, for Mental Health care, for all possibly opening the door to future potential abuse on a significant scale. Again, to the benefit the financial benefit of our industry, possibly to the detriment of society and the individuals within it. Present Mental Health programs are already funded and they have a source of revenue and the budget has expanded by 1 billion yearoveryear at the expense of the local economy. Can you Work Together with your colleagues to better organize the budget, potentially and hopefully for the benefit of the Small Businesses just beyond your doors. Thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you very much, any other Public Comment, seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor, would you like to make a motion . I move that we forward this to the full board with a positive recommendation. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Madam clerk. Call item number 8. Clerk item number 8, ordinance delegating the authority to the general manager of the Public Utilities commission, for revenue from such an agreement is 1 million or more and amending the administrative code to establish a low carbon fuel standard credits sales fund to receive funds from the credits sales for use in connection with projects that will reduce San Franciscos Carbon Footprint and or advance its sustainability goals. Supervisor fewer thank you very much and so before we start the presentation id like to say that i would like to continue this item and hear the presentation next week. In the meantim meantime id likk the b. L. A. To do a report on this, and do you think that could be ready by the next budget meeting . Yes, we will have a report for the next budget. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. So i will take Public Comment on this item now and well hear the presentation next week along with the b. L. A. Report. Thank you very much for coming today. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 8 . The part here where youre talking about the Public Utilities commission and the fuel standards, the only thing that i could see as far as the Public Comment that relates which makes me think about is the way that preferential treatment is being given to pg e for starting all of these fires and then having the problem further compounded by means of gathering with the taxpayer money to help pg e to pay for the damages they delivered to their customers is outrageous. How you going to help the victims of a lawsuit who win a lawsuit and youre going to help to defend it and pay for a lawsuit and you are supposed to be the government . Thats a contradiction. How you going to go and help a defendant pay for his violation of personal injury law and the destruction of property if premises Liability Law and then turn around and go help the difficult . Defendant . Thats a conflict of interest and a waste of the taxpayers money and you have 8,011 people homeless in San Francisco, not including the hundreds and thousands of people thats homeless lined up in tents leading up to the state Capital Building where Gavin Newsome works. Thats disgusting. So i object to him doing that and hes setting us up for a lawsuit because youre not helping other people in lawsuits who lose and helping the defendants to pay the fees. Sincerely. Supervisor fewer thank you. Any other Public Comments . Public comment is now closed. So id like to make a motion to continue this to the next meeting of the budget and finance committee. And we can take that without objection. Thank you very much. Madam clerk, read item number 9. Cloik item 9, approving amendment 42 agreement cs991, preliminary design and Environmental Services for the transmission and the distribution project and authorizing the proper Utilities Commission to execute the amendment increasing the agreement apound by 4 million for a total not to exceed the amount of 11 million for a term of august 1, 2010, to august 31, 2022. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. And i thablg we have mr mr. Ramonabu. Yes. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. So, good morning, chair fewer and supervisor mandelman. And im the Deputy Assistant general manager for power enterprise. Today we are requesting your approval of amendment number 4 to cs991 with for the continued work on the big corridor transmission and distribution projects. And just a background information, with what is the big corridor transmission distribution project . Known as bctdp. And it will be constructed along the bayside of San Francisco. And well have some independence from pg e and control of our own Distribution System and a capacity of 75 megawatts. And we will still be interconnecting at 230,000 volts or 230 k. B. And well be distributing the voltage to our customers at about 12,000 volts. And so the substation basically will convert the high voltage to 12 k. V. So just to give you additional background, what happened with this contract and the reason for the extension is that when this project was initiated it was initiated back in 2006, with the closure of pg es power plant that was shutdown in 2007. In 2008 well, during that period there was a major concern about the reliability of the electric service in San Francisco. And so in 2008, the mayor and the board of supervisors directe sfpuc to have a transmission project, that means that well build a transmission line between watersville and to enter the city. And a new youer substation in order to bring the power directly into the city to replace what was then the potrero plant substation. And then in 2010, this contract was initiated and the project went on to 2012, and at that time a preliminary report was prepared by dnrus, addressing the issues or the challenges that well be facing in building the transmission line from warnerville into San Francisco. And so but at the same time there was some changes happening with our relationship with pg e and the Interconnection Agreement was expiring. And so its redefining the use of the transmission line. And so theres some Business Decisions that needed to be made. So at that time the project was actually stalled. So from about march 2012 to january 2016, there was no work that was done on the project until we can address those business concerns. So why are we doing this, were investing in our own distribution to serve our local communities. This is going to be the beginning of it. And we will have control to provide safe timely and Reliable Service to customers and i want to emphasize safety and reliability. This will be a brandnew system that we will control ourselves. And theres a lot of development along the corridor, that is why we selected this project, this location, to build this transmission system. And at the bottom of the diagrams you can see thats where the substation is going to be and towards the middle you will see where the potrero substation is. So at the end of the connection from potrerch ro substation well be building distribution substation next to the plant on 398 queen street. And the idea for this bctd is to be able to make it scalable and to be able to grow it based on the needs that we have and other customers that wed pick up from pg e and we are exploring other construction so that we can build up and integrate a fully distributed system in the city of San Francisco. Potential Customer Base shown here, theres development at the seawall at 337, through 370 and were doing their projects so we can support the need for the southeast plan to meet the regulatory requirements to have a reliable backup service into the plant for the sewer treatment. Just to show you what 75 m. V. A. Or megawatts is, this is the load that we anticipate from the customers that were going to be serving, effective in the spring of 2021. 75 m. B. A. , well build up through at least 60 megawatts so well have a lot of capacity, redundancy and reliability to keep light the lights on. So there has been three amendments today and the contribute is dated back to june 2010, to review the transmission interconnection or the transmission system. And then the project was stalled and so the First Amendment was to extend the contract so that we can continue with the work and then number two in may, we defined the project better and there was an amendment for additional funding and also an extension. And then amendment number 3 happened recently when we have identified the location for the substation. We needed time to prepare the budget and the request to come here today before you today for approval and we needed the five months. The contract was going to expire before we could prepare so we only asked for an extension to give us time to prepare for this meeting. Or to prepare the report. So the total project is going to be 11,500,000. And the total is 11 years and 8 months duration. And noting that we did have a time period where we didnt do any work for about three years and six months. So im here to request for you to adopt the amendments, the legislation, as proposed by sfpuc, with one minor correction the date of completion will be april 2022, not august 2022 as shown in the legislation, so well update that. We ask that you authorize to execute amendment number 4 for the bctd project and increasing the amount by 4 million, and about two years and eight months, and at the same time also to correct the name for you, u. S. Corporation america, to u. S. Corporation. Their name has recently changed. Thank you. And im open to questions. Supervisor fewer thank you, any questions . Seeing none can we hear from the b. L. A. , please. The board of supervisors is being asked to approve the Fourth Amendment to the contract between p. U. C. And u. R. S. Corporation and they provide engineering and dine services for the bay corridor and cust distribution project. This is the first time that its come before the board because it increases the contract amount by 4 million from 5. 7 million to 11. 5 million and extends the term to 2022, which is consistent with the extension of the project itself. And we recommend approval. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Lets open this up for Public Comment now. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 9 . Pretty good idea, sir. But i think that my ideas and plus with my hands on demonstrated experience of being in the oil business as a kid during my younger years is that it will make things better. First of all, the transmission of electrical power thaw are genrthat you are generating fro, and to use power lines to bring that amount of voltage into the city. You should transmit that power in a conduit line which is like a pipeline thats under the ground surface, so you wont create all of these hazardous fires like pg e has already demonstrated and wiped out thousands of homes. And the loss of lives behind that poor maintenance and old obsolete transmission of power. And youre talking about being independent, and id like to see you further expand and get your own license and start up your own Solar Company and create jobs and make solar panels without going through a private contractor and be your own corporation and start using solar power along with your original idea, sir. That would cut back and free the city from being at the need of operating electricity with pg e. Pg e is disgusting. Come every time you turn around theyre getting preferential treatment for delivering damages and then when they get sued you turn around and you want to charge the Company Strike that you want to charge the customer to pay the fee on the violation and premises Liability Law damages that you delivered to the customer. Thats disgusting. Their executives is getting multibillion dollar bonuses and then you talk about they dont have any money to pay the customers of who they hurt, and the lives that are lost. And forget the nuisance supervisor fewer thank you, mr. Wright. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. And the City Attorney says that these amendments are not substantive so id like to make a motion to accept the amendments. Thank you very much, we can take that without objection. And then i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. Thank you very much, madam clerk. Can you please call item 10. Cloik item number 10, authorizing agreement between the California Independent system operator for Reliability Coordinator Services for an initial term of 18 months from january 7,2019, through july 6,2020, with an automatic renewal of the Contract Term in excess of 10 years and a maximum cost of not to exceed their 3 million. Supervisor fewer thank you very much, and i believe that we have cheryl speary. The Administrative Services manager, with the Regional Water system. That is correct. Thank you, and good morning, chair fewer and supervisor mandelman. The sfuc is requesting an approval for an ordinance to authorize them to enter into an agreement with the California Independent system operator or ciso, for Coordinator Services from january 7th through july 6th, 2020, with automatic renewals. Its in anticipated to have a cost of 150,000 per year. It complies with the electrical reliability standards, mandated by the north American ElectricReliability Corporation or nerc. Under the authority of the regulatory commission. And the water and power is registered as a transmission operator under nerc. And nerc standards require that transmission operators have a reliability coordinator. Since 2014, these services have been provided by peak reliability. And the only reliability coordinator for our region. And in july of 2018, they announced theyd wind down their Coordinator Services operations by the end of 2019. In november 2018, ferc approved the caiso to provide Reliability Coordinator Services. And caiso provided the draft reliability coordinative Services Agreement on december 11, 2018. However, there was no ability to modify provisions of the agreement. And other than peak who was winding down there was no other reliability coordinator for our region. Caisa was requiring the execution of the Reliability Coordinator Services agreement by january 1, 2019, to participate in the confidential Training Data sharing with the caiso so we included in the customers transitions from peak to caiso. The manager signed the agreement on january 7, 2019, and caiso allowed water and power to participate in the confidential data sharing with the caiso so that we could be included in the first wave of customers transitioning. Had we not signed the agreement wed have to wait to december 2019. We would be out of compliance and subject to fines of up to 1. 27 million per day, per violation. San francisco administrative code section 21. 046 authorizes the general manager of the sfpuc to directly purchase ans Larry Services with Power Transmission for assuring Reliable Services perrent in with good utility practices. However, retro ak tiapproval of the retroactive approval is necessary for two reasons. The code states that the departments are prohibited from entering into contracts with automatic renewal provisions. And, two, since the Contract Term could potentially have a term of more than 10 years, the city charger section 9. 11 requires the board of supervisors approval. We respectfully request your approval. Thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Could we have a b. L. A. Report. It approves the agreement between p. U. C. And the California Independent system oper
