from a lafco member, can we get a second. >> we have a lafco resolution recommending the puc adopt the not to exceed rates. >> thank you. that's when commissioner campos has motion to an approved. >> the motion from campos and second by commissioner breed and third by lafco. can we take that motion without objection? and so we have just passed that motion. >> commissioner vetore? >> thank you, i appreciate that and i recall last month and maybe it was two months ago our difficulties in trying to find a time for a joint meeting, but our real commitment to getting some clear directive from the lafco commission on how you would like us as a puc to proceed so that's been very encouraging to hear that you are urging us as the puc to adopt the 11.5 rate and today move forward with the not to exceed rate. i understand that we don't have a second for the motion for the 11.5 rate currently and i know that we have a puc meeting this afternoon and i don't know if it will be brought for a vote at that time, but i heard the overwhelming support for this. i understand there is not a whole resolution

sf lafco chairperson john avalos and sf puc president art torres.sf 31234 >> thank you very much. as chair of local agency formation commission, i would like to thank you for joining us at this meeting. we are at a very critical juncture now to approve the water program. we have received a lot of information from people across san francisco and even across california that we are an approving a shell contract today and that is not the case. we are here to approve a rate for clean for sf program. it's well within the ability to negotiate a contract for our clean four sf program. what we have here today is well within the parameters of the program. it's very significant that that vote that we had in september wast by the majority of the supervisors and the concern of people in san francisco. not everyone in san francisco, 27 roll -- we have the roll out of the program. not everyone will stay with the program. we don't expect that we'll have necessarily unanimous support from anybody to approve parts of the program. but we do know that there are san franciscans who welcome the ability

>> i'm confident that we have followed that the lafco staff and puc staff have followed the direction of the board of supervisors that was decided many months ago and that direction wants to move forward and to set rates. i think that we have reached a point where the rate that has been presented is probably the best we can do in light of all the competing interest. i do believe that we have lessons to learn from marine and we have all along incorporating those difference. marine is a different jurisdiction and what san francisco is trying to do is something unique and it's unique also because of the diverse population that we have and i think it's something that we are very proud of the equation here. i'm ready to move forward. i do hope that we use this as an opportunity to expand where we are and to invite all the different partners to make this program even better. but i think that not moving forward would go against the decision that the board of supervisors has made. i also want to acknowledge the work of the puc, our general manager and his staff and miss malcolm in particular

the public comment is on this amended price, this amended rate which we received the director from lafco by a resolution that 11.5 should be the rate that we consider at the pec and that was the recommendation and so in response to that, and we are introducing and i am introducing an amendment to amend the resolution to not-to-exceed rate of 11.5. >> thank you. >> public comment? >> now, we are going to restrict our comments to what you didn't say before, correct? >> because i know that all of you are coming forward testified at length, so your comments are going to be geared towards the reduction from 11.9, 011.5. >> would you like two minutes? >> yes, two minutes, yes. >> commissioners? today, we had a lengthy presentation and discussion on this matter. and the purpose of this amendment is to tell pg&e that sfpuc can bring this number to the same number that pg&e proposes. >> which is nine. >> so, that is the only purpose. that sfpuc is on the equal footing or has the resources or can deliver a product the same as pg&e. and in my humble opinion, we cannot. this is a moving target. we c

i really appreciate all the hard work that lafco and the sf puc staff has done. it's really a victory for them and the groups that have worked with them to bring this rate down. we recognize this is a not to exceed rate. this is a cap. a cap that will protect customers from any future energy price bite. we think it's important to have that protection if place for customers and we are confident in our talks with sf puc staff and what we have in the region that the actual rate at launch will be much lower and even still and we've seen successes in places like paleo alto. that is not real today but it's promising of what might be coming in the future that will be possible for us. we look forward for working with the commission and staff and seeing what we can do to minimize the shell contract and add to it to build the local jobs that are so important. we are happy to hear people talk about and some of the advocates have been suggesting and that there may be opportunities and other ways that we can involve labor in how we expand this program and most importantly how

lastly to our lafco staff, to jason and miss miller, thank you for the amazing work and of course we wouldn't be here without the leadership of our chair commissioner, chair avalos, thank you very much for your steady leadership in getting us to this point and i look forward to action today. >> thank you commissioner campos and of course i inherited a lot of this from you. thank you for your leadership. >> commissioner moran. >> thank you. i tried to remove my request for speaking but the computer didn't operate. >> i am eager to hear from the public because i know there is a lot of people from the public here and i want to make sure that we can hear as many comments as possible. i think this is a historic day. i have been on this commission for five years. it was already half baked at that time and marine energy authority was already off to the races and it was a big question mark about whether that program was going to success and now we looked into this program and said it looks like they are on the verge of success and we decided to model with this model and it was at that time t

vote does not happen today, that i can urge my fellow commissioners on the lafco and puc to move with this because we know we are faced with a changing climate and especially those from lowest income are going to suffer from the climate. i would ask that we do everything we can to reduce gas emissions. >> thank you. >> we can open this item for public comment. if i call your name please come up in the order that you are called. >> al weinberg, sue, jennifer , david. >>al left. >> thank you. i'm sue. first of all i want to agree with miss vetore. i think this is a global issue. we have a very sad i think lack of reducing emissions globally and i think as americans and especially san franciscans as we tend to lead the state and the country and the world we need to stop global emissions. i did calculations for expenses. for 2013, the median income is $71,000. average rate in san francisco one bedroom $2500 per month. if you take this out and subtract the state taxes for irs you get this income. if you have rent. it's a $30,000 per year, rent, you subtract $30,000 from $53,000. you still

i just wanted to remind the president torres of the comment that you made this morning in the lafco meeting that he wanted to wait on passing the not-to-exceed rates so that we can have a few more weeks of conversation with labor and if we can't come to the agreement. >> then, well, we want to have a very healthy discussion and hope that we can all come to a place where we work forward together and i am glad to see that the advocates and the staff are pushing for ward at this point for the same goal. but i would love to see the advocates for the program of labor do the same and i just want to remind you that you wanted to have a couple weeks to have a discussion. >> i am reminded of what i said. i know what i said. >> i want to put it in the public record. >> i just did when i said it. >> if we can't come to an agreement we will move forward with with the not exceed rates that is what i will hold you to. >> come back i want to make sure that you understand where my position is. >> i would like some clarification. >> number one, i am in favor of this program. number two, i want to see it hap
