Thats multiple callers in the queue. Caller commissioners, my name is christopher acosta. Im asking two things. Number one, we the people from the bay view are not getting a clear picture whats happening with [indiscernible] and were not getting a very clear picture of all the benefits that are linked to the shore system improvement project. We keep donating 150,000 without any notice to the public. Taxpayers money. Thats not right. We have discussed the point in detail and we need to release as much water as we can, not foolishly but with reason so we can save the salmon. We come again and again and again to speak to power but some of you all condone the staff thats working behind the scenes to defy us. And i know a number of speakers will be speaking on this topic. So thats all ive got to say this time. Thank you. Thank you. Ill queue the next caller. Caller hi, my name is Jessica Silva power sf [indiscernible] [audio digitizing] is not something a Clean Power Program should be doing. Im understanding the program may not be considering adding this Nuclear Energy. But is it still an issue with the energy pg e is trying to offload because theres no market for it. Have to purchase the energy but it will be sold at the same price as fossil fuel energy so pretty much youre only getting the attribute of a carbonfree Energy Product and thats the only incentive but its not actually marketable and a Clean Power Program should being focussing on offering clean energy to their customers. I really hope that we can have some very honest dialogue about this because i think this is actually a detriment to our clean choice program. Thank you. Caller my commissioners. My name is jesse hahn and asking to consider a route between sawyer road. Its dangerous and vehicles driving 45 Miles Per Hour plus without shoulders or bike lanes and theres puc roads that could be made accessible to connect the two areas. Theres close calls nearly every day in this area. Folks are heading 92 over the hill and getting off on the freeway and think more people world ride bikes if there were safer [indiscernible] and this is a part of the peninsula and i think having part of this biking and exercise trail gives back to the community. We need healthy and safe ways to exercise and this is just one of the gems in San Francisco area and an encourage you to unlock those gates and make it safe for cyclists. Thank you so much. Caller thank you Vice President vietor. Ill leave a decree for the record use she and her and great to back and im still learning more about electricity in San Francisco and an appreciate the work that youre doing on the generation side to provide less Expensive Energy and the work must continue. Again, i continue to advocate for the formation of a municipal utility district for San Francisco. I ask you be active in the conversations about issues such as conservation to help people to manage their use of electricity and electrification and about the way of that electrirates are done in electric rates are done in california and the idea of baseline usage and tiers which is not under your control is concerning to me. On one hand i want people to conserve electricity but i dont want natural gas and oils and other fossil fuels to be used. I would fail on the baseline allocation because im averaging about 40 kilowatt hours per day and have an all electric home. Lets continually trying to clarify electric rate issues for people so they can be enpowered by electricity in the best way and i look forward to your work in adding more renewables to the mix. Thank you. Caller can you hear me okay . We can hear you, caller. Caller i represent the Green Committee at the San FranciscoUniversalist Church and interested in preserving our estuary in the bay and the tributaries are all intricately connected and as we saw during the drought of 2011 through 2017, the demand on water from the delta left us in shock how little attention was being paid by Public Utilities commission to the health of the delta. Future developments have to live with the reality of Climate Change and the owe kol gy of our ecology of our eco system. The delta plan say good plan that keeps the balance of our delta system intact while spreading water available to those who need it. The resource and control board spent a lot of time and effort in the issue and the bay delta plan is the right answer. Thank you. Clerk id like to remind callers this is item 4. If you want to speak to a specific item on the agenda. Please call back when that item is called. Thank you. Caller, can you hear us . Caller hello. Thank you for allowing public input im mr. Richardson and lived in district 2 a native of for instance for a number of years. Ive heard sf puc staff talk about the plans. Like any old designer suit, the designer drought has to go and ill tell you why. Until the most recent drought at the end of the summer 2016, sf puc had five years of water then we had the historic water year of 2017 and puc had enough water to last 12 years. Enough water to last a decade. We had so much water we had to reless release more of 80 . It makes a designer drought a story and it has to go. Whats this mean for people of california with boots on the ground . Instead of letting out an appropriate amount of water during the drought for fish, for recreation, People Living on the river or near the river, for down stream users, the s. Fpuc essentially put a choke hold on the tuolumne area. I know president caen isnt there but Vice President vietor is there and i appreciate your time. I was up in modesto for the meeting on the dam and was astounded by the disingenuous misinformation Staff Members shared with the committee. It was an embarrassment. You need to know what the staff is sharing with the feds. Im sorry, your twominute time allotment has expired. Caller hi there im nate holtzman from the bay area. I want to thank staff for pulling item 12. I had a conversation with staff yesterday about the item and i appreciate the action. This is about an allocation of Nuclear Energy from that project and were trying to get power without violating the policy of procuring the power for the customers and i get that and a get its a raw deal and were trying to reclaim a little bit of revenue but theres times you leave money on the table to make a point. I dont have time to go into an algy. I want to an analogy. And no one in the community had heard about this at all. Buyers lined up and it gets slowed and the community is involved and thats great but i want to highlight if you had found a buyer all this would have happen without Community Stakeholders knowing or lined up before commissioners should be involved. Thats not the way it should happen. Lastly the agenda item is written inaccurately. The point is not to reaffirm your antinuclear policy for no reason, its to change something and thats not reflected in the agenda item so im not technically sure its noted properly for today. Thank you so much and i hope for substitutive reasons we can go into at another time puc will not move forward on accepting the Nuclear Energy from them. Caller im steve rosenblom a puc customer in palo alto. Conserve water with replacing poi toilets and drought resi resistant plant and now with closing the tuolumne my support for your policies is draining. You need to support the many species, fish, birds and wildlife living in the bay delta region. Salmon are key stone pieces. Please drop your lawsuit. Conservation, reuse and purchase of water from agriculture can carry us through the next drought while preserving our environment. Thank you. Caller this is devora sitari and my daughter. Were calling because we want to reiterate the need for safe bike paths. We as a family appreciate all the beautiful riding and its so close to being safe but right now its unnecessarily dangerous for cyclist and its a treasure if you cab open existing can open existing roads it will provide a safe passage. Caller we ride on dangerous parts. Caller wed appreciate it if you can open some areas to create a safe passage for bikers. Thank you. Caller my name is gene mckenna id like to echo safe bicycle passage to connect two major cycling routes. Many are putting themselves in danger of mixing with fast dange traffic. Theres frequent accidents here including last month and many unreported. A mile can be altered by opening roads and one in san mateo connects the city to canada road and its not safe. Residents of my community do not allow our children to ride on the road which means they have no option to bike to school and other places in san mateo. The [indiscernible] i urge puc to allow Recreational Use of the existing roads to connect major bicycling corridors and improve the health of our community. Thank you. Caller my name is melissa w yu we are strongly opposed to the use of Nuclear Power in any way. We appreciate holding off on the item until more Stakeholder Input is glean. Though wed like to comment on the process in which it was introduced to the San FranciscoClean Energy Advocates one of the Many Organizations a part of this coalition was alongside the city so many years and wed appreciate the continued engagement for decisions as important as this. Regardless of whether or not the sfpuc sells regenerated power to clean power s. F. Customers theres significant environmental and safety problems inherent to the technology and though cost we understand may play a role in the consideration of receiving this allocation and power. Clean power s. F. Cannot compromise its values in accepting any proposal would cause problems and all would lose stakeholder and customer trust. Were grateful for your decisions at the commission to get more feedback and one last comment i wanted to make is that s. F. Gov tv is working but the videos not working. Thank you. Caller hello commissioners. This is hunter cutting. The club and others have spoken in the past urging the puc to stop stone walling action to save californias rivers and bay and wrote the puc to drop the opposition for the state water board plan for saving the rivers. Since then the puc continued business as usual. We know the puc staff has concerns about the states approach. We have a once in a Generation Opportunity to make progress and likely our last opportunity. In the context, if we say no in raising objections isnt good enough. If youre not part of the solution right now, you are part of the problem and the puc needs to start coming up with solutions. This is really problematic because the puc is wasting valuable time that should be spent in coming unwith up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Nwith up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. With up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Th up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. H up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Up with the puc and we encourage you to step up to this moment. Thank you. Caller hello, commissioners. Im iris medfrye a professor at a university. Ive been a bay area resident over 20 years. Im very concerned about our ability to preserve the unique eco systems we have in california for future generations to enjoy. In that context im calling on you to urge you to drop your opposition to the lawsuit against the bay delta million. Youre aware the bay delta plan represents a compromise between human and eco system needs. The salmon are a key stone species and the delta is an ecological treasure. Both are at the brink of collapse as you are well aware of. These collapses are completely unnecessary. We as humans have the capacity to guarantee natural flow patterns and guarantee minimum flows while carrying human need through the next drought predicted under Climate Change. Im calling on you to represent the will of your customers and of the area voters who have strong environmental preferences. Thank you for your time, commissioners. Caller hello, commissioners. This is eric brooks i relative humidity californians for choice who has worked over a decade to get programs off the ground and a local grass roots organization. First i want to second what was said about the water law suit and agree with hunter and the other commenter. The main thing i want to speak to is what was going to be item 12 on nuclear. First of all and ill send you information about this. Nuclear is not carbonfree as was suggest in your packet. The main concern i have about what this agenda item though it was public policy, all your other action items in your agenda and all your agendas make it clear when theyre an action item voting on a resolution. This is the first time ive seen on an sfpuc agenda that was not clearly mark as an action item when it was one and which even worse, in the agenda that was just about reenforcing and confirming existing policy against Nuclear Power in San Francisco when the underlying action item was the opposite and about taking Nuclear Power from pg e and selling to other jurisdictions. Thats frankly an outrageous deception. Ive never in my 26 years of working on San Francisco city hall politics seen an action item like that so misrepresented. I think the commission needs to exercise discipline on staff to make sure this kind of thing never happens again. On nuclear itself, its clear why its bad and the idea of us sorry, caller. Your two minutes has expired. Caller im a little bit lost are we on Public Comment generally or particular item . Clerk general Public Comment item 4 for items not on the agenda. Caller im interested in item 10. Thank you. There are no more callers in the queue madame secretary. Commissioner thank you. Public comment on item number 4 are closed. Thank you to members of the public. Secretary can you please read the next item. Clerk the next order of minutes is 5, communications. Commissioner commissioners, do you have questions or comments on communications . Commissioner on page 54 and 55 that talks about the water availability to the city. Seems like we have a lot of water available to us these days and wanted clarification, mr. Richie, if you wouldnt mind on the two charts that seems to show we have quite a bit of wat
