Existing legal requirement what kind of flexibility the cpuc has to make reform and so i think that the perspective they have and the working group is very much looking at the Technical Details with the cpuc. What can be done one of the Biggest Challenges right now, were on an annual cycle where around this time of year we expect a decision that sets the cpuc for the following year and that volatility is very disruptive so one of the strong proposals i think that quite reasonable to create more of a forecast and create stability year after year instead of the volatility weve seen and there is an openness to that kind of thing when it comes to funneling changing the mechanism that the cpuc used to insure a nonparticipating customer in the process so that the exercises that are not in the system dont bear the costs that and may have to be dlon a legislative action wear thinking of ways to do that. To what extent does the cpuc work for the cca versus major utilities is it set up to provide some level of support for utilities it seems like over cpuc. The cpuc works for the repairs which includes utility rate repairs and the cca commercials were talking about are the same repairs thats one of the message to the cpuc to remember that they also represent the cca repairs. We dont have the ability to influence legislative judges in the commissioners the way that the utilities. We have to do that through the public process and through stronger argumentation and over the history of the p cia the city has not been opposed to the concept of protecting the repairs there are nonparticipating san franciscans out there but clearly what the important to make sure the process is transparent and fair and compliant with the law that kind of standoff can be buried in the details will there are ways to disrupt the projects we need to be aware of its definitely something were knowing the cpuc is watching over the process i think sort of as the cpuc movement is growing statewide i think that is really in our favor when it comes to pushing significant reform either way the policymakers and the regulators have to deal with the fact there are expensive contract that has been signed and so this the tough issue just to be clear and we think there can be positive change and in for the at the cpuc potentially through legislation. Great, thank you. Other questions mr. Fried and jason fried, executive officer just wanted to chime in on a couple of update as the cpuc is doing great work with the Business Plan and looking forward to seeing the final version next year when necessary have the plan rolled out for the process to be done quicker good ideas how to do that and looking forward to that 2015 on the cpuc discussion were up having i potentially are a darker view how the pauksz treats the customers not as fairly as they need to be treated they protect the bundled customers to the disadvantages of other customers we need to talk about there as was stated basically the same customer and should be protected equally we need to make sure we are doing that up to this point the cpuc comments especially some of the commissioners they talk about protecting the customers not realizing we need to do more to cat them to protect the other customers so come next year as lafco stays involved ill be continuing as to write letters or opposition whatever to make sure were protecting the cpuc customers with the bundled customers of benjamin those are my ill be again get a chance to attend the event he encourage anyone that has thoughts or questions you have youll your experts sitting in one room it is great for the public to show up people were fed and will be fed at the sunday morning i encourage the folks to show up this morning will and really ask tour tough questions all the experts will be in the room ill be there and 4re7b8dz a hand to the cause and hope youll attend that thats all i have for any portions. Great no other questions thank you for your report. Mr. Fried and go to Public Comment any member of the public that wants to rush the podium to say. Few words about this. Hello chair avalos and commissioners jeff from the bay area i guess i would say that the idea that some period of time were trying to immoral the customers program that the bills will be higher than pg e for the Standards Services obviously is bad news and were working against i think this illustrates the need for City Government to work aggressively to defend and build and protect cleanpowersf it is great to me as a Community Advocate to continue for lafco Going Forward as this clearly is not a federal issue business cleanpowersf has been launched ultimately all 3 owes is expected to be transitioning to the cpuc and 1 or 2 will be a majority the current chair or president of the cpuc michael ticker has referred to the Community Choices as a collective this was or less while serving in that office you you think from the outside it appears to us the cpuc allows the iou to pass theyre able to reduce their electricity given what is going on in their market they shouldnt be able to be put in a bad position with our rates i want in support of cpuc and the board of supervisors and lafco in taxiing whatever stems necessary to make sure this program succeeds and not get thank you if there are no other member of the public to rush the podium for Public CommentPublic Comment is closed. And go on to the next item. Item four honoring john aval avalos. Madam chair. Im the chair now so i did not have anything prepared to say i understand we are at our last meeting with our current chair chair avalos and commissioner mar and commissioner campos we wanted to take the time to honor their work here on lafco and i believe that we have id like to say a few comments ill allow any colleagues to have comments first, i know that chief executive officer jason fried has some thoughts. Yeah. For each of you, we have resolutions and proclamation for you similar on a nature although difference a lot of the work you worked so well as a team it was hard to distinguish youre responsible for one or another part but because of your ability to work as a team thats one of the things that means something to me personally for the 3 of i it was xrefsz maybe a discernment outside of lafco put that aside and understand the importance of lafco working on the cleanpowersf program and some of the other Waste Management in the city or mou how elections get run in the city you put those it didnt make any differences behind when i sat down to write the resolutions i couldnt figure out how to write them on that note he will read some of the individual clauses as to the resolution so youre aware of the individual supervisor avalos served with lafco into 2012 and severed as vice chair in 2012 a good Training Course to become chair lets see you were also the chair of the commission when the citys Aggregation Program was launched youll be the last chair and chairing this body when we started to serve customers thats exactly what lafco was set up to do to get public elected and the cca program implement in the city and county. I appreciate that but the claim of launching cleanpowersf has been done by a member no longer here and thats why i said you were physically chair when if launched the physical launch any differences between each of you so on the noted i wanted to say thank you very much for your hard working and yield to the other commissioners and why not call 5 and 6 together as well. Okay. So well do all at once. Madam clerk call items 5 and 6 youve called 4. I had to ask that. Thats right laughter . You had and item 5 is a resolution honoring david campos and item 6 eric mar. For commissioner campos your individual depictions you served for two consequence years as well as vice chair in 2010 and the chair that the cpuc at the time was Ed Harrington agreed to launch the program and the chair to get the sfpuc to launch a Program Granted hips after that but physically the chair when that action occurred and so with that, we want to say thank you for your your serves services ill give you my personal thoughts i was very a. D. Mirrored how you were able to get the general manager to have a long tedious process over the years you have a problem with that and went to every single item it was issued with the puc. Worked so see how wooul youll get to a Large Program wouldnt have been possible without the to this spot in the program to be launched i give you a lot of credit to get us to the point that sfpuc staff was maybe not supportive but get to the spot we have a program go to the public and say please join this program thank you to you and commissioner mar you get an interesting distinction youre the only lafco commissioner to leave the commission and come back laughter you are the only person to serve on 3 seats and switched to the alternative and left lafco and you missed us and did a different seat and served in 3 different seats at the lafco which is pretty expressive. It is i was looking at and seeing who was here the longest i forgot to mention commissioner campos from the board of supervisors to serve on lafco and but youve served longer than may board of supervisors and commissioner avalos your shortly behind you got a point a month earlier but the election he beat you out by one month. Weve talked about that and will next thursday. So the 3 proclamations ill be happy to give to you when we are done but go back to you folks to have the discussion about each other. Id like to say a few words i think for me in the public seat it has been a learning experience for me on local Agency Formation commission and the 3 of you have been mentors to me i think that lafco is very different from other commissions or id like say the committees that our part of and the board of supervisors because this is like geeky behind the scenes not a lot of fanfare and other stuff its within an honor to work alongside you and want to say a few things chair avalos and you know in addition to being you know a friend and someone that i look up to been a mentor and you know knowledge believing i can be a part of something bigger in terms of cleanpowersf and bringing me into the vice chair role youve never backed down from launching cleanpowersf youve never stopped thinking about the Environmental Review and the benefit of having cleanpowersf in San Francisco and what that meant for the ccas in the state and then youve always looked for opportunity to expand the program listening in the advocates and working with the specifically with ted olsen he discovered the oil field in the community and looking at it as a way to stop the Oil Production and creating a solar farm that would be part of the do you believe the way you blocked for opportunities to grow the program and how your work on the board of supervisors and the city and Just Environment and commissioner campos i wanted to say i learned a lot from you in terms of the way you cross examine people you are youre like a gentle bulldog as Agency Attorney that experienced really pulling things out and the details out taught me a lot how to work with someone that i may not have the same end goal but how to find that Common Ground and put them on the spot to answer the questions that are important not in you bad way but transparent and accountability what it means to san franciscans so have someone that advocates for them thank you for teaching me that and commissioner mar ive always, always can count think on you to look at the social and Racial Justice youre always thinking of the world that were creating more your daughter youre thinking about the legacy we leave behind were thinking of people who may not have a voice in that room thank you for that for always doing that you can say curse words in the nicest way i super appreciate that. laughter . But all of you have really taught me what that is like to be a part of something bigger and cleanpowersf was my segue into lafco working on what that meant with the other reports like the elected officials and thinking about the things that lafco dont see it ripples out it starts as a seed in the community and can be bigger that changes the way we do things in the city and the way the rest of the country looks to San Francisco so San Francisco lafco can be a generate our i appreciate the work and if no one is on lafco come january you guys have to show up somehow. So that might not actually be legal i want to thank you so much and happy to be a part of honoring you and allow you guys to say a few words commissioner mar youre next on the roster. Let me start by saying it feels good to say chair crews and want to appreciate our leadership from the voters and the young voters and all the communities efforts to nurture other people to step up and hold government accountable im going to show this little pamphlet but it is about love i love you guys and avalos and i spent jail in oakland in the last 90s and for mayor and i think that was over the youth. Criminalization of youth and others were in there dan from the Global Challenge a number of us. James. And Peter Martinez an incredible experience being in jail with you john laughter . I see lafco as pretty much the government body that sherz that cleanpowersf was not going to be blocked by the mayor and others and john made sure that was happening and john your brilliant Legal Counsel as we were a dealing with the balance of africanamerican and other students all the complexities but really how i remember affidavits ability and total people skills in addition to what cynthia or chair crews is saying about the ability to cross examining but an ability in using the people skills to really help negotiate the best for especially our most vulnerable citizens in the School District and continuing on as champion with lafco on our board i want to do my best to say i hear if the puc district quan and others but cleanpowersf wouldnt have come about without tom ammiano and others on the lafco before us we follow in neither footprints and not just in the lafco elected but michael from the sierra club before that was laura and others and john and so many others but also the Community Alliances that were formed i want to thank you to eric brooks and others that are persistent in gathering information to be better at what we do we wouldnt have cleanpowersf without the Community Coalition and lastly wanted to say because the per assailants of the community and jason fried in 2008, you were noted as the best political mind you know where the bodies are buried the best power analysis what goes on in city hall and outside and i met you when you were a working and timed to give you a special thank you for being an maliciously director for lafco and hearing about not only the Environmental Justice but how everything fits together and thank you for being a good friend and actually, i wont miss lafco but others will moved on the important struggles with cleanpowersf and so many Environmental Justice and been a pleasure to serve he wont miss it. laughter . Commissioner avalos. Thank you president. God you know, i think that for the three of us and john and eric and i that will be a weird next couple of weeks or so as were you know finally comes to i mean weve come to the terms were leaving this place and you know being on the board of supervisors has been an amazing job the best job ive ever had and being a member of lafco has been an important part of it i was redundant do join lafco wasnt sure what that entails and lafco has been a critical part of the Progressive Movement in San Francisco and so many people over the years made that happen in the end my commitment to lafco came from the Progressive Movement and specifically to the issue of clean power and larger cleanpowersf irks that brought lafco to into existence and there are people players that are no longer involved in the way they were before it was a different scraper and the San Francisco bay guardian was a big proponent of lafco and redd man and other folks made it happen and saw that lafco would be a tool for members of the board of supervisors and eastbound members of the public to push forward the issues that for whatever reason were difficult to push through the regular process through the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office over the years the relationship into lafco and city agencies has viewed i wanted to thank the California PublicUtilities Commission and their staff for putting up with us over the years we started out being contentious and challenging and difficult and at times you you know tough meetings were had and you know if there is any word that i think describes lafco to me that lafco has been relentless even has the political scraper changes and the political Progressive Movements up and down lafco has is the little you know engine that could and keeps on going and has it is interesting to see what happens i hope the moo new members of the board who by the way, talk about progress many of them are women joined this body and continued this work thank you to the puc and to general manager kelly, thank you to all the previous general manager and to the staff that worked with use it is greatly appreciated to the extent weve been going you have to go right with us whether or not you wanted to at times so greatly appreciated the lafco staff i mean wouldnt have been possible without the staff and i think jason in particul
