citizen, bank on s.f. makes it easy for you to have an account. >> many people do not have a bank account because they might be in the check system, which means they had an account in the past but had problems managing it and it was closed. that gives them no option but to go to a cash -- check catcher for up to seven years. you want to give these people second chance. >> to find account best for you, follow these three easy steps. first, find a participating bank or credit union. call 211 or call one of our partner banks or credit unions and ask about the bank on s.f. account. both -- most bridges will have a sign in their window. second, ask about opening an account through bank on s.f.. a financial partner will guide you through this process and connect you with the account that is best for you. third, bring some form of identification. the california id, for an id, or your passport is fine. >> now you have open your account. simple? that is exactly why it was designed. you can access your account onlin

they developed methods and software that revolutionized s.f. pride and grew the participation exponentially, increasing revenue from exhibiter and parade participants. in fact, his efforts were so successful that they soon -- that they've been used by models by other nonprofits around the bay area and have increased participation in the event significantly. richard and bill were true ambassador to local national and international sponsors and businesses for the pride parade. their customer support and attention to detail served s.f. pride and our city well. after the death of his partner of 42 years, bill, richard is moving back to his family in massachusetts, in fact, this very week. i can say he will be greatly, greatly missed by all of us. and having spoken to some pride people who are heart broken that you're going to be leaving, we know that this is the right move for you and we wish you all the best. and on behalf of the board of supervisors, on behalf of the city and county of san francisco, i just want to thank you for your many years o

. >> clean power s.f. program update. speakers kim malcolm, clean power s.f. san francisco public utilities commission. this is a discussion and possible action item. >> and really quickly, colleagues, thank you. malcolm for being here. we have a new commissioner, relatively new commissioner and we've been working on this program, staying on top of it, becoming aware and there was interest from a number of us on the commission to hear the status of the program, to have a check-in, and to find out more of what's the status and where things are at going into what we know is a decision that's before the san francisco public utilities commission next tuesday. so, thank you very much for being with us tonight. >> thank you for having me. i'm pleased to be here. i was able to brief your policy committee i believe in may at hauled's invitation. actually a number of things have happened since may. ~ commissioner wald i want to give you a history on a program, which is quite long for a program that hasn't been launched yet. and tell you about the kinds of policy issues

i did my student teaching there as a masters student at s.f. state. i'll be working with two students from the masters program in the tsaw program at sf state. so, that's important. they are really fearful of what could happen in the next year with the special trustee because we feel like civic center campus might be vulnerable to being closed and i would really like to advocate that we need to keep the vic i can center campus open. i was speaking with edgar torres who is the chair of latino studies department and he noted that as the mission becomes more gentrified, a lot of immigrants are moving to the tenderloin ~ and we really need to be able to serve that population. i also just want to make the point that over the last year the faculty and staff at ccsf formed 14 different work groups to address every recommendation that the accjc cited us on and we put in a lot of hours to try and meet their recommendations.

mayor, could you please outline your objections to the clean power s.f. program as approved last year on an 8 to 3 vote by the board of supervisors? >> thank you, board president chiu. i agreed with the majority of the public utilities commission when they asserted that the community choice aggregation program that was presented to them no longer had any direct immediate local environmental benefit. but the lack of a true climate change impact of this cca is not its only fatal flaw. it's also gotten progressively more expensive as time has gone on. back in 2007 the board insisted that a cca program would meet or beat pg&e's rate, meaning that cca power should cost 7.9 cents or less per kilowatt hour. the theory was that if we wanted to convince people to participate in a green energy program, we couldn't hit them with massive monthly bills or they'd likely opt out. that was good logic. but over the years the costs crept up and up and up, and last year this board authorized the puc to set rates at 12.8 cents per kilowatt hour. we ran the risk of large scal

she's been so helpful in many other things and many of you know she's helping me on hope s.f., provide housing opportunities for some of our worst dilapidated housing. now she's also again stepped up with additional partners. and i want to just signal to you some of these historic partners that are working with us. the [speaker not understood] foundation, the haase junior and senior foundations, as well as the asian pacific fund amongst many other foundations that are assisting us. this is a $1.2 million initiative over the next three years with the city providing about half of the funding and the foundations stepping up with the other half. but the real work is going to be done at the community level. the community organizations that are going to be working with us on numerous and they reflect all the different ethnicities that i just mentioned. but i want to mention a few to give them some special thank you because they're stepping beyond what they've traditionally done and going into the mold of going beyond just the citizenship count and now into services into this new orientation

additionally, our solar sector incentive program, go solar s.f., has been working very hard in our city. in fact, in 2007 when it first started, there were only 795 non-municipal solar installations in our city that totaled about 3 megawatts. today that number is nearly quadrupled. we have over 3 40 that total 12 megawatts of power. and this is saving san franciscans more than 4-1/2 million dollars a year on their electrical bills and reducing 6,000 metric tons of co2 in the atmosphere annually. thank you. (applause) >> every bit counts. and many of these installations are becoming the standard rather than the exception and we're focused on installing them in all of our low-income homes and affordable housing developments as we build in this city. and as jerry brown said earlier, we are increasing our population, but we're going to build the right way. our city has also streamlined the permitting process and reduced the permitting cost for san francisco residents. you our residential solar permits are available on the counter, over the counter, and online, and we have one of the lowest

and because san francisco's truly a global city, we're going to build on the success of china s.f. and expand our outreach to latin america and asian market street, not just to attract businesses to come here, but i'd like for us to really begin to introduce "made in san francisco" products to these growing market street.

[laughter] >> so, i know this is short, but i think you look at the budget. to me it's quite a swee

long-time student and current student at city college, the last 12 years on and off, i'm also a graduate of s.f. state. i'm growing gravely concerned what's been happening, what's been going on in our community here with potential threat and loss of our great institution here. and, so, there's many other folks behind me that want to speak. i just wanted to show my support as well as a student for the measures to save our school. and i wanted to bring up just a couple of points, small points. funding is a crucial issue here with enrollment, something that's been brought up here as well as economic analysis for the impact. it costs about $6,000 per class to buy a class at city college. if we leverage that comparing that to the amount of money that we're going to lose, something should be considered. there should be some kind of emergency funding available for this kind of cause that we can leverage, that can be given to help us stem that kind of flow or loss of enrollment. certainly the public support for enrollment is a measure from all of our elected leaders should be a given. i also wanted to
