Im also an environmental scientist. Im frustrate that had ive lived here since 1999 and ive heard about cleanpowersf for i believe 10 years now and that we still dont see a Clean Energy Program in the city. So, im very glad to see the board looking at pursuing all means of moving this program forward. Clearly we need to offer power to San Francisco citizens that is cleaner than pg e at the same price or cheaper and marin has shown that thats imminently possible. However, San Franciscos program has long had a primacy on new generation and local generation. So, i think as we go forward, we just ...

And so, then, in terms of the marin side, was there any sort of approval that has to take place on their part for us to be able to do the Feasibility Study . I would yield to the representative from marin to answer that part. Our board has not yet set policy for how we might expand to community the size of San Francisco. We do have policy and a process set for communities that are within 30 miles of our jurisdiction and have a Customer Base of 40,000 or less.

But the Feasibility Study would give us an idea of what it would take to actually do that. Umhm. And so, then, in terms of the marin sid...

Ordinance watching the cca program and requesting formal membership in the program. Wed need to revise our Implementation Plan to add the new community and the signature page and we formally add a new director to our board of directors from that community so that they can sit on the board and participate in Decision Making and policy setting going forward. So, thats the process thats set up for affiliate members. I should also mention at the point for that membership occurs there are no other costs that the community is asked to pay for. At that point m Kirk Kerkorian mce takes care of all the...

Our board knishates the discussions about what types of what type of process would be used and if there would be any different parameters applied to a community of that size. In order to do so, i think our board is waiting until there is a formal request from the community to do that, to spend time and do that exploration. I think that i can tell you how we handle a request for an affiliate member because that process is defined. Typically what happens is we receive a letter from the governing body of the city or county and then he we our board considers whether expansion to that community wou...
