My name is doctor ellen moffett, i am an assistant medical examiner for the city and county of San Francisco. I perform autopsy, review medical records and write reports. Also integrate other sorts of testing data to determine cause and manner of death. I have been here at this facility since i moved here in november, and previous to that at the old facility. I was worried when we moved here that because this building is so much larger that i wouldnt see people every day. I would miss my personal interactions with the other employees, but that hasnt been the case. This building is very nice. We have lovely autopsy tables and i do get to go upstairs and down stairs several times a day to see everyone else i work with. We have a bond like any other group of employees that work for a specific agency in San Francisco. We work closely on each case to determine the best cause of death, and we also interact with family members of the diseased. That brings us closer together also. I am an investigator two at the office of the chief until examiner in San Francisco. As an investigator here i investigate all manners of death that come through our jurisdiction. I go to the field Interview Police officers, detectives, family members, physicians, anyone who might be involved with the death. Additionally i take any property with the deceased individual and take care and custody of that. I maintain the chain and custody for court purposes if that becomes an issue later and notify next of kin and make any additional follow up phone callsness with that particular death. I am dealing with people at the worst possible time in their lives delivering the worst news they could get. I work with the family to help them through the grieving process. I am ricky moore, a clerk at the San Francisco medical examiners office. I assist the pathology and toxicology and Investigative Team around work close with the families, loved ones and funeral establishment. I started at the old facility. The building was old, vintage. We had issues with plumbing and things like that. I had a tiny desk. I feet very happy to be here in the new digs where i actually have room to do my work. I am sue pairing, the toxicologist supervisor. We test for alcohol, drugs and poisons and biological substances. I oversee all of the lab operations. The forensic operation here we perform the toxicology testing for the Human Performance and the case in the city of San Francisco. We collect evidence at the scene. A woman was killed after a robbery homicide, and the dna collected from the zip ties she was bound with ended up being a cold hit to the suspect. That was the only investigative link collecting the scene to the suspect. It is nice to get the feedback. We do a lot of work and you dont hear the result. Once in a while you heard it had an impact on somebody. You can bring justice to what happened. We are able to take what we due to the next level. Many of our counterparts in other states, cities or countries dont have the resources and dont have the beautiful building and the equipmentness to really advance what we are doing. Sometimes we go to court. Whoever is on call may be called out of the office to go to various portions of the city to investigate suspicious deaths. We do whatever we can to get our job done. When we think that a case has a natural cause of death and it turns out to be another natural cause of death. Unexpected findings are fun. I have a prior background in law enforcement. I was a Police Officer for 8 years. I handled homicides and suicides. I had been around Death Investigation type scenes. As a Police Officer we only handled minimal components then it was turned over to the coroner or the detective division. I am intrigued with those types of calls. I wondered why someone died. I have an extremely supportive family. Older children say, mom, how was your day. I can give minor details and i have an amazing spouse always willing to listen to any and all details of my day. Without that it would be really hard to deal with the negative components of this job. Being i am a native of San Francisco and grew up in the community. I come across that a lot where i may know a loved one coming from the back way or a loved one seeking answers for their deceased. There are a lot of cases where i may feel affected by it. If from is a child involved or things like that. I try to not bring it home and not let it affect me. When i tell people i work at the medical examiners office. Whawhat do you do . The autopsy . I deal with the a with the enou with the administrative and the families. Most of the time work here is very enjoyable. After i started working with dead people, i had just gotten married and one night i woke up in a cold sweat. I thought there was somebody dead . My bed. I rolled over and poked the body. Sure enough, it was my husband who grumbled and went back to sleep. This job does have lingering effects. In terms of why did you want to go into this . I loved science growing up but i didnt want to be a doctor and didnt want to be a pharmacist. The more i learned about forensics how interested i was of the perfect combination between Applied Science and criminal justice. If you are interested in finding out the facts and truth seeking to find out what happened, anybody interested in that has a place in this field. Being a woman we just need to go for it and dont let anyone fail you, you cant be. With regard to this position in comparison to crime dramas out there, i would say there might be some minor correlations. Lets face it, we arent hollywood, we are real world. Yes we collect evidence. We want to preserve that. We are not scanning fingerprints in the field like a Hollywood Television show. Families say thank you for what you do, for me that is extremely fulfilling. Somebody has to do my job. If i can make a situation that is really negative for someone more positive, then i feel like i am doing the right thing for the city of San Francisco. Chair fewer good morning, everyone. The meeting will come to order. This is the january 17, 020, regular meeting of the San Francisco local Agency Formation commission. Im sandra lee fewer, the chair. And im joined by gordon mar, and shanti singh and our clerk, and i would like to thank michael baklazar and jason goldhammer golddahmer, im sorry, i dont know what is with me today, from sfgovtv. Madam clerk, any announcements. Clerk silence all cellphones and documents should be submitted to the clerk. Chair fewer i wanted to everyone to know that we will need to recess this at 11 20 to 12 00 noon. So lets start. Madam clerk. Can you call item number 1. Clerk item one was to the call to order and recall call. Would you like me to call item two. Chair fewer yes. Clerk the approval of the lafco minutes from the november 15, 2019 regular meets. Chair fewer any questions or colleagues . Seeing none, any Public Comment . Seeing none, lets approve the minutes of the meeting. And we can take that without objection. Do ied i need a second. Thank you very much. And madam clerk, call item 3. Clerk the presentation and discussion on the cleanpowersf local Renewable Energy report. Chair fewer and we have barbara hale with us today. The general manager at the San Francisco p. O. C. And were here to present a draft of our clean powersf local Renewable Energy report. Ill go through a number of slides here and well review, lets see if i can get this powerpoint to work with me. And if we could get it on the screen, that would be great. Thank you. Im not quite sure why its not advancing. Okay, now we got it. So here we go. Well review the items here, background to put the report in context and the method that weve taken to identify the candidate sites for local and other Renewable Generation project opportunities. Our findings and our next steps. The report is part of a larger planning process at the San Francisco p. O. C. , and the cleanpowersf and a integrated plan. To preview what well conclude with, we will be with capit funding approval, highvalue candidate projects that have been identified through this process and it will be, valiateed with evaluated with further planning and preliminary design work and candidate projects that continue to show value and constructability will be evaluated for funding and construction through the citys Capital Planning process. So lets talk first then a little bit about the integrated Resource Planning process and how this reporting effort that weve gone through fits. Under state law, the San Francisco p. U. C. Has to have an integrated Resource Plan every two years. In this plan we model a range of supply and demand sensitivities. The objective is to develop the least cost, best fit portfolio of the Electricity Supply that meets Program Goals over a 20year period, including local development. The integrated Resource Plan analysis allows for better understanding of the costs and the Energy Delivery impacts excuse me of candidate resource projects. Including local renewable projects into the cleanpowersf clean Energy Supply portfolio. Sorry, im struggling a bit today. Local planning excuse me is part of this regular cycle. Our Renewable Development has long been a part of the San Franciscos clean energy initiatives. I certainly dont need to tell this commission that. The board urged the San Francisco p. U. C. To develop this plan. The local Renewable Energy report findings inform our staterequired integrated Resource Plan and ultimately the city capital plan. Thats the process by which cleanpowersf will develop and fund local projects. The city Capital Planning process is the same process that the city has used for about the past 20 years to develop and fund the Program Portfolio of local Renewable Generation projects. And just to take a minute on those, through our retail electricity program, the sa San Francisco has projects on cityowned property, including this building that were in right now. You can see the data here, 8. 25 megawatts of solar generation and about 27 million invested. Thats funded by the net operating revenue from the sale of electricity under the program. And we have more projects in the pipeline, 1. 5 megawatts more, including storage and those are in development and construction. So thats the background and context. Now lets talk about the approach that weve taken in this report to identify candidate projects that could be developed and funded through the cleanpowersf program. Three project categories were analyzed for Cost Effective development in city, cityowned sites, regional cityowned sites and other opportunities in and near the city. Sites were evaluated for suitability to develop within the five to 10year timeframe. Candidates were candidate sites, excuse me, were identified as capable of exports power to the grid to serve cleanpowersf and had no identifiable barriers to development. Candidate sites were rated. A high suitability rating means that the site is worth further time, further planning and analysis to determine whether a renewable project should be implemented at the sites and funds requested. A medium suitability rating was assigned to site where is a barrier will need to be addressed before we spend more time on the Renewable Development at the site. So that could be Something Like a structural upgrade that we know that needs to happen before we put the weight of a solar system on it. For electric Resource Planning and procurement purposes, the city defines local as the nine county bay area. This approach provides a preference to projects that are located in the region through our bidding process, access to increased resource diversity, and so that we can access the wind and geothermal resources outside of san fran. Those are represented in the orange and blue bubbles on this map much the county. And larger project opportunities, because we have, you know, less space constraints. Lower costs than for construction than in the San Franciscoonly view and an opportunity to balance the higher costs San Francisco projects with lowercost projects, providing Economic Development in the bay area. That balancing helps us to maintain our affordability for the cleanpowersf customers. Lets take a look at the cost data for these different locations, resource types and size. Along the horizontal or the xaxis you can see three locations, sort of buckets, with different project utilities. And utility scale with large projects in california is shown there on the left. And the first four projects. And then the nine county bay area. And then in city on the right. The blue bars show the average cost per megawatt of electricity generated by the different projects. The red line that goes through the middle there represents the average supply cost of the cleanpowersf portfolio today. Around 55 to 65 a megawatt hour. You can see how different locations and costs compare to that average. We have to get the mix of locations and technologies right to protect affordability. Theres a tradeoff between the cost of local energy and the amount of it that can be procured and still maintain average supply costs to maintain affordability. If we procure local projects at an average of about 80 a megawatt hour, which is shown on the xaxis there at the extreme left, local content can be up to 30 of our supply portfolio without increasing average supply costs. Thats represented by that green band at the bottom. So at the 80 point, you can see about 30 of local content. Higher local costs as we move along the horizontal or the xaxis, will decrease the total percentage that we can procure or increase our supply costs. So we need to balance our local Renewable Development goals and our affordability goals. That is the dynamic that were looking that were working with as we plan local Renewable Development. Now lets look at the specific projects that the team evaluated. Staff evaluated 132 incity sites across multiple agencies and they are identified on the right on this map. The dots represent the sites. And the bigger the dot, the larger the generating capacity at that location with the dot color representing the suitability rating. So you can see a large green dot would be an attractive opportunity for us to evaluate further. So how do we screen these sites . First, we have prioritized sites that could support projects with more than 250kilowatts potential capacity. The remaining sites were then evaluated to identify the potential risks to determine to determine suitability for development by cleanpowersf. Age contactedded to determine at the host what their preferences are at the site and to learn more site detail. The analysis was conducted to determine potential onsite generation and associated costs, suitability ratings were assigned. So now lets drill down a little deep or that part of the approach. Sites were evaluated looking at these criteria for nearterm Development Structural improvements that might be required and if there were risks to the ass threat might be identified and the technical export limitations, and whether theres onsite usage that is more than the possible generation. And contractual risks and competing usage. The host Agency Preferences and goals as i mentioned were identified and discussed and then we conducted our cost analysis. For cityowned sites, the 132 sites reviewed we identified 14 to medium to high suitability, 9. 3 megawatts for high suitability, and 6. 6 for medium and project costs ranging from 79 a megawatt hour to 151. For regional sites, six sites were reviewed and three were identified as medium to high suitability, representing about 44 megawatts of total potential. And costs ranging from 32 a megawatt hour to 104. We also looked at storage, about 20 megawatts of storage opportunity was identified at sites that are owned by the city in city or regionally. And here we have the incity sites identified as both medium and high suitability. So youre seeing some specifics here with the average cost between 88 to 130 a megawatt hour. At the top are the four highly suitable sites and those are all owned by the sfpuc and we identified no barriers to development at this point in the planning stages. The medium suitability sites are have issues that need to be addressed before we would propose moving forward with the project. For example, structural upgrades that are planned for the reservoir. And then we have here the regional and the cityowned sites. These are lower costs regional projects and they can really help us to do this balancing handling that diname that i can i talk dynamic that i talked about, with some of the lower lowercost students. It supports us achieving a higher portfolio Renewable Energy content from cityowned sites. Some of these candidate sites are pretty strong and we recommend further planning and development of these opportunities. Other
