Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I like to take a motion tew prove the minutes. Prove aprunge approval of the minutes. We can approvecould we approve that approve the minutes without objection . Thank you. Thank you so much. Like to make a request to take the items out of order and call item number 4. Item 4 is consideration of approval of the budget for fiscal year 16, 17. Jason fried executive office. You have the budget mmo for next years budget. There is a two step process we do here by state law where we do a proposed budget this month and will come back and do a final budget. There are not many changes from laest yoor. This is sth first year we do a pay as you go instead of the flat rate for Clerk Services so you will see a change and realize the pay as we go process is cheaper than what we anticipated so you see that reflected in the new ujbudget. Because affof that we dont need to request as much money. What we have done in the past is made full request and returned the unneeded portion for a long time we returned the entire amount. Last year is the first year we could ants do that. This year based on savings and Everything Else i believe we should continue to request the 297 amount for our own legal pro protection incase we do need it but think we will only need to accept 40 thousand and return [inaudible] so i recommend we continue to accept the full amount and ininstruct us to return 257, 342 back to the city and county of San Francisco thereby maintaining 40,000 which goes into the money we believe we will have left over from this budget and this budget dozen incorporate into the cca budget. That is a separate baujt budget and doesnt need to go through this process. Do we have questions or comments . Like taopen the item up for Public Comment. No Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. Do we have a motion to approve thesorry. Madam chair, i had one quick question. Thank you. To mr. Fried under item 4, legal and Consultant Service there is a slight increase and if outside Consultant Services or Legal Services are not needed then actually i should ask, have we expended all of our legal and Consultant Services for this current year and is there a reason why there is a increase in that area . There iswe havent extended it. Basically that is where we have always put the extramoney in case we need to use consultants. That is more just a line item where we put excess but since we dont spend the entire amount and partly because a lot of my salary comes out of the cca side funding. At some point you will see that line item dramatically decrease when we no longer have a mou with the pec. We never used that full amount. I dont intend the use the full amount t is a place holder for the money if needed. That is why we are requesting 40,000 because we dont need to use the full amount for next year. Okay, thank you. Any other questions for mr. Fried . Is there a motion madam chair. [inaudible] just move approval. Is there a second . Madam clerk could you call the roll sph item number 4, commissioner avalos, aye. Commissioner campos, aye. Commissioner crews, aye. Commissioner mar, aye. There are all ayes. Could you call the next item madam clerk . Would you like me to go to item 3 . Yes, Community Choice aggregation report. Clean power sf and Program Launch and proceedings at California Public utilities commission. We have representative from the puc. You can introduce yourself. Thank you commissioners [inaudible] communication manager for clean power sf. I have a couple updates. I have enrollment statistics and outreach update. A little on Programmatic Development the Net Energy Metering program. A small regulartory and legislative update and think mr. Fried has updates and there are a couple miscellaneous iletms, Energy Providers. Ill jump into it and let me know if you have questions. I requested this to be presented to us, i appreciate your putting that together in the past couple days. No worries. My pleasure. Enrollment stats, we did issue our second opt out enrollment notice on march 1 and as expected we saw little increase in the number of opt outs qu brought the total to about 40 and that is out of about 7800 total services so we are still very much below the 20 percent opt out rate at this point. The [inaudible] is the same as the last report. We have 212 enrollment in the super Green Program now and we are also still seeing increased sun ups early enrollment super green sign ups for the august enrollment and 109 that early enrolled for Service Starting in november and make it the first enrollment notice in august. We are actively out in the Community Engaging with the people enrolling and the people we will enroll later the year. We are on schedule with enrollment notice to date and two coming tupe the future. We are also undertaking merchant corridor walk squz trying to hit every major merchant corridor in district 5, aket and 10 so we walk into the businesses door and ask if they have gotten mailer jz answer questions and we made 180 or 90 personal visits or calls and feel good about that and get good feedback. We have a couple welcome events and will do 1 welcome event and invite merchants to come to a coffee house, send a mailer and say we are here come by and talk and meet the clean power sf and [inaudible] we want to do that in may and june. We have pretty much wrapped up the merchant meetings for this district at this point and have one or two to go but are looking to more exspanseive outreach as we look to the fall. We are engaged with the people we are enrolling today and look towards the future for those we enroll in august. One more item to note, we are also meeting with some larger business jz organizations as we prepare for large enrollments in the future so met with boma, San Francisco chamber of comrbs, San Francisco realsters and San Francisco apartment association. We are getting a lot of good feedback. The tone of the discourse is different from previous years so we are definitely encouraged by that as we move forward. Next i have a bit of a Net Energy Metering update. So, we are actively developing our nem program, Net Energy Metering and well discuss it. Generally a brief overview at the puc meeting next week. What the program involved and how they have done it in marin and sonoma and program objectival jz present to the [inaudible] that is in april and once we present to the rate fairness board we hope to bring the program tariff back to the sfpuc for adoption hope fully april 22. That is good news on that front, we are moving forward and close to launch. And for those who are not familiar with Net Energy Metering can you explain what that is and how is our Program Different from pg e . Net Energy Metering is a program for those that have solar on the roof tops. It kind of outlines how those customers can generate electricity for their onsite use and when they have sur plus electricity it is what the payment is when they put energy back to the grid that woe use and take for the other customers. The Net Energy Metering program stipulates how that works and the tariff and rate and the other cca have their own Net Energy Metering program. Here in San Francisco there is a lot of roof top solar, dont be discorjed by the fog so we want a set Net Energy Metering program as soon as possible and we are close. And then do we expect to have rates that are identity to pg e . Identical to other cca and it is a formality setting up the California PublicUtility Commission or do we see there will be nuance and vast differences between our programs . I dont have that level of detail today, but i will report back at the next [inaudible] i dont know how nuance or different our program will be versus pg e or the other ccas but perhaps my colleagues can have insights the one part i can tell you i had several discussions, well have a better rate or return for those that who over produce so if people have a choice between us and pg e if they Pay Attention to the pay back they will go with our program and be a cca customer rather than pg e. Even though in terms of the clean power sf we will have a lower cost per kilo watt than pg e theerate payers still get a better rate to sell back fl to clean power sf. Yes, because we can use that towards the 100 percent Renewable Program so thoest customers pay more so we can sell that back and make a monetary sense for us. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. So, we are move frgward to the nem program. The next step is have a small regulartory and legislative update and know mr. Fried may have items as well. We have held the cpuc, [inaudible] workshop. This is the opportunity to identify the cpuc to discuss the ethudology for setting a pcic. We coordinateed with sonoma clean power and lancaster and [inaudible] took the lead on that initiative. Stakeholders also provided Public Comment that was very helpful. Looking forward for a outcome, we are not too optimistic well see modfiications to the methodology in the near term. The presiding commissioner is planning another working Group Meeting ing and will continue to collaborate with the other programs and formal [inaudible] at the cpuc to talk about the pcia and other charges and so that will be a ongoing effort for the short term and medium term, no doubt about it. Thank you. I want to talk about Energy Providers. I know as we get closer to energy in may people have specific questions show i will break it between product and start with our super green product because it is easy to talk about. Super green if you are a clean power sf customer and signed up for 100 Percent Renewable Energy you get clean renewable bundled renewable tier 1 energy from [inaudible] that is sth Company Providing the energy and they will provide wind power frum the shiloh wind farm in solano county. That is it. If you are super green you get wind power and the Cleanest Energy available in the bay area from the shiloh wind farm in solano. If you are enrolled in the green product there is a couple suppliers and energy mixes for the green enrollees. If i pause on that. The shiloh green farm, what is their overall capacity in mega watts and is that capacity coming to San Francisco or just a portion of that and what is the demand that we will have . What st. The overall demand we expect to have on super green in mega watts and have a difference between had demand is at launch and what is provided . So the shiloh wind project is a large wind farm and there are multiple subproducts and we take power from the shiloh one wind project and that is what [inaudible] owns. I believe it is 100 or 150 mega watts product so we contracted for 25 mega watts. If you are a super green customer that is 1 hin 100 percent of what you get. We use some the power for the green customers as well and so if you are a green customer you will get wind power from the shiloh wind farm. In addition to that, you are also going to get Energy Supply by cal pine corporation, that is the other Energy Supplier and there are two products. One, they are also supplying tier one bundled Renewable Energy product as well and in addition they are supplying more conventional sources of power natural gas and those plants are also in the bay area. We are pleased our Energy Sources for this phase are coming from the bay area. So the cal pine is mixed with the wind powers as well for the mix . Correct, for the green product. You get [inaudible] Renewable Power from the shiloh wind farm and get additional bundleed renewable from cal pine and natural gas product. Okay. I know there was some questions about customer interface. I have gotten a chance to take a look at the back office system, how the Data Exchange works, how in the computer you literally check the box to upgrade someone to super green and as you can expect that is actively happening every day, every week we get a tally which cr read to you earlier and so we have gotten a first hand look how that process works. Now, that we have sent out our enrollment notices and see how the process works, they have a lot of expertise because they have done it for the other ccas and we are starting to formulate the plan how to take that inhouse. The noble contract is 3 Year Contract because the goal is to take those functions of the cca program and bring them inhouse so wree starting to look at that. it is something we want to move on quickly. It is balance between launch thg program and looking toward future capabilities of the program like bringing inhouse so that is something we continually want to talk to [inaudible] and other stakeholders about especially as we get passed the first phase so we can start to develop the plan and that is where we are with that. And then the final item, i know there has been some talk about having a paper sign up form like a alternative to the online sign up form. It is a little more cumbersome, you are in the streets talking to a friend or doing a tabling for various issues so we have a paper form in development now and expect it to be done in a couple weeks and will take all the language on the website that you see when you enroll and put that on a piece of paper, we give it to the Graphics Team to lay it out so it ask easy to read and follow and expect the next couple weeks anyone that wants to volunteer, we ask they take a training from us and then well give them that paper and all the other materials they need to hit the streets. And that is it for my formal update so if you have any questions. Thank you for the presentation. Quick question, with the paper form, is that something that people will be able to mail then or how would that work . You could mail it. You have tothat is the first time i have gotten that question. You could mail but would have to put it into a envelope because it isnt built to self mail. They would have to be a mechanism to mail they would mail back to us the customer that signed it out or they mail it back to the person signing them up. We can take a look at making a self mailer so you just put on a stamp and address to the puc and have instructions how to do that so well take a look at that. That may be difficult to do because there so much legal text and how to see how it looks but well take a look at that. Great, thank you. Commissioner crews. Thank you for the presentation. I just had a couple of questions. What are the effort right now around signing up people for super green who have already opted into clean power as a sign up in the very beginning or they were part of phase 1 . Sure, thank you. Good question. So, there is a number of efforts underway to do precisely that, sign up existing Customer Base we have enrolled that are not members of super green and put them in super green. We have done that with a few customers in the merchant corridor walk, people that are interested and dive into the program and sell them the super green product and had a number of customers just this week in the bayview, 3 customers that expressed interest signing up for super green. We captured names and numbers so wealer are follow up with them to remind them they are interested and see if they need help signing up. We are alsothis is looking forward, we are also meeting with potential customers for our november and august enrollment to see if they will sign up to super green. The corridor merchant walks or enrollment notices, the emails we sent out because we send out different emails to different targeted customers and they all talk about a number of things including super green so when there is a the Customer Contact phone in person, mail, those welcome events, there is always a way to talk about super green and read about super green and so it is always there and that has helped get some the super green sign ups
