it was my shell you lost! >> you know, shiny, i observed that stomping around didn't really help tiny find a new shell. >> ahem. buddy's right. i know all about stomping. i used to stomp all the time when i was mad, but then i learned that stomping can be a good thing, even fun. >> fun? >> yeah! you can stomp out your bad feelings. >> it's true! >> oh! hi, dad! >> hi, daphne. who are your friends? >> this is the pteranodon family. >> h-hi! >> hello! >> i heard daphne talking about stomping. boy, she should know. daphne used to be a real stomper. >> but dad showed me that feet are better for dancing than stomping. >> dancing? >> yeah, dancing. try it. i know it will make you feel better. >> cool! come on, tiny. come on, shiny. >> whoa! this does feel better. come on, shiny! >> [squawk] ok! >> yeah! stomp it out! >> dancing is better than stomping! >> i told you. and turn! >> [all laughing] >> shiny, here's a new shiny shell! >> it actually looks like my favorite one, only better! [squawk] thanks, tiny! >> you'r

it's not about shell. >> it's not about shell. [multiple voices] >> i thought it was quite persuasive. it's not about the contract. the contract -- >> all the shell contract is -- during the transition period in 4-1/2 years is buy 20 to 30 megawatts of power on the marketplace. we're responsible for all the buildout work. >> commissioner josefowitz. commissioner king. thank you. >> let me ask this a different way. eric, i'm forgetting your name. >> [speaker not understood]. >> okay. is there a part of this -- i guess what some people are concerned about is from the things that are still lingering out there like pla agreements and, you know, for those of us that care about kind of, you know, where the energy is coming from initially or whatever. if you can bundle some of the stuff at minimum in california. for those of us that care about that kind of stuff, is this particular vote take us over the threshold that locks us into what they have already, like all of these thing that have not been answered yet, you know, does this vote l

the way the shell contract was originally envisioned by the staff was that shell would basically buy, sell, schedule all power for the program, up to 30 megawatts. there are two ways we could do that a little bit differently that we've been talking about internally. we could, for example, reduce the shell contract a little bit by some portion and buy the net short ourselves, schedule it, create a portfolio for that small amount of power, and have shell go ahead and schedule -- buy and sell the power within the contract amounts, the contract [speaker not understood]. or we could take all scheduling and management decisions in-house and treat shell as a -- as one supplier in a portfolio, just a power supply, not an energy manager. we're analyzing that internally and we are getting some help from a consultant who has expertise in this area as well. >> would the second option require sort of a new contract with shell? >> a new contract? >> yeah. would it be -- it would sort of [speaker not understood] in the existing contractual structure? >> well, it would require some modifications to t

fuel projection than pg&e, shell's non-fuel resource mix [inaudible] credits. today's action may also result in changed rates of air pollutant emissions from existing fossil fuel facilities, by switching to shell, the city changes the source of generation for sf customers from facilities that serve pg&e's load to facilities that serve shell's load, that different facility may be operating on the margin to facilitate the city's demand, this changes the rate of air pollutant emission from the facilities, if the program is a success and increases demand enough to cause corruption of non-renewable generation in its new phase, they will result in new impacts such as conversion of agricultural demands [inaudible] staff's proposal until an eir has been prepared, thank you. >> thank you very much, david mcord, sierra club. >> welcome. >> david mcord and i'm the chair of the sierra club bay chapter energy committee. we've got before you now a not to exceed rate that has been brought to be competitive with pg&e's rates, we -- the staff is working on more specific plans f

again, we were actually working with shells, there are contracts we have with shell to do work, it's a red herring excuse finding way to kill the program . >> yes, i would agree with you on that . the other part is the puc board. the building of these new projects and all the efficiency work. i think it's almost a no brainer to me. i would hope the puc commission is more favorable. all the things that come with the labor project agreement to make sure that we are getting good standards for the work force that is doing the for this city on the program. those issues are easily addressed. it can be addressed until you have a program to go. you make sure your rfp has a labor project agreement. >> he brought up the whole opt out, opt in issue. that was one of the issues that was raised when the board approved this program last september in 2012 that we don't like it because you can't opt in, you have to opt out whether you want it or not. this whole issue comes up all over again. that's a bigger break thing that the mayor has if he wants to work with us to change that state law which is p

one thing i have to acknowledge here today is the shell shock campaign that we see. i was with the marine program before we launched service when pg&e spent 44 million dollars marketing against our program and trying to defeat this happening in marine. we know that the shell shock campaign is being led by the ibew and you can't ignore the connections they have with pg&e, being with marine when we saw all of the marketing campaigns against our program there, it's clear that the same designer who did the campaign in marine against our program that was funded by pg&e is the same organization who's doing it ear in san francisco, do not be fooled by the misinformation that's being circulated -- >> the organization's name? >> jason freed knows the organization's name, and please don't lose site of the amazing changes that you guys can implement here in san francisco. thank you. >> shawn marshal representing lean energy usa. welcome. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners, thank you very much for having us here today. over the past several months as director kelly poin

this week about the environmental concerns about the deliverables, i'm going to talk about shop the shell shock campaign, it was initiated by ibw1245, i know of only one other labor organization in town that has taken a position in opposition to doing business with shell. for labor local 261, we have taken a position in support of cc a, that hasn't changed but i think it's an important distinction to make because i did attend the hearing at the environment commission the other night, it was about three hours and i think one of the reasons why it was porntd to note what vice-president anglo king had to say today is because that was the fourth vote. we could be having a completely different conversation if the environment commission ak hull took a position and said we don't support rate setting either because these object stirs and goals have yet to be met and i think what they're referring to is they're referring to the draft of the outline of the plan, and so community advocates and correct me, i might add, have said, this has to be about the community and what's in it for them, it can't

shell says around 4,000 barrels of oil were spilled here. but victims say it was much higher around 500,000 barrels. getting shell to agree to pay any compensation is a legal victory for the people. the victims had to take shelter in the u.k. to get the company to accept responsibility. the nigerian government is now enacting a haw that would help victims get justice. >> we haven't had a frame work clearly stating what is their responsibility of the responsible party, what they have spilled. in fact, i can tell you it has been very economical to spill as many barrels of oil that you like in nigeria. >> christian hopes the new law will hold oil companies accountable when oil spills occur, but he is still very concerned about shell's activities in the region. >> i believe that shell wants to wipe away people of this area. that is -- so that they can have their way. the god of the land, and the almighty god, who placed us here, would never have them escape all they have done. >> shell denies such allegations and says it's compensation settlemen

it's no longer tied to the shell contract. so, the reality is now that the shell contract is going to have competitive rates if the sfpuc sets competitive rates next week, now that it's going to have competitive rates, the advocates are not concerned that there is going to be a large opt out of the program. after the shell contract is underway, as long as there's no large opt out, that's when we start building this next phase. when you get into phase ii and we do the buildout. and as commissioner wald rightly points out, that buildout is not going to happen unless we -- you as a commission, you as a department, we as advocates, make sure that the sfpuc and the board of supervisors does it. and under ab 117, the 2002 law passed for community insurance aggregation, i want to reassure you, and this can be done, if the sfpuc ends up not doing the program we want, the board of supervisors is empowered by that law, ab 117, to get advice from the local agency formation commission on how to build out that buildout program regardless w

we'd be dependent upon shell oil to help us reach our city's climate goals. and this certainly doesn't help reduce greenhouse gas emissions here in san francisco. this is all to say the public utilities commission did its job, protecting the rate payers when it made a fair and informed decision that the environmental benefits of cca had degraded so significantly. supervisor, that's not defying the board of supervisors. in fact, the city attorney, dennis herrera's office [speaker not understood] that the commission is authorized, not required or compelled, but authorized to set rates for community choice aggregation. so, the public utilities commission took a look at the latest version of cca and said, this is not what the board adopted and this isn't good for the rate payers. i would submit that the commissioners exercised their oversight rule as an independent commission under the charter and i'd argue that protecting tax payers and rate payers is precisely what the commission exists to do. supervisor, you asked what my office is doing to support the city's

this is a resolution that approves the shell energy contract. it approves the general manager going into negotiations with the shell energy contract. the mayor said that the shell contract was a sole source contract, but we know that these contracts were contracts for providing clean power to the puc and consumers in san francisco. it was competitively bid. there was a lot of discussion over and over again from the mayor's responses that the board of supervisors had approved by resolution an ordinance a certain energy mix of 95% clean power and only 5% recs. there is nothing in the resolution ordinance that says that you would have that energy mix and there is actually in this resolution that comes from the puc, there is nothing there either. so, there's no reference to -- it's only anecdotal discussions that we talked about a framework that could be 95% affirmed energy mix with 5% recs. it turns out that the program that we approved at the board was a program we knew about was going to evolve over many, many years. and what we started on day on

the god of the land and the almighty god, wants them to escape all that they have done. >> shell says its compensation settlement will be fair and the cleanup of the area will be fair. river state, nigeria. >>> germany's thomas park is president of the olympic committee. his first job is to oversee the 2014 games in the russian city of sochi and he has already been laying out his vision for the future. >> we should develop a project of sustainability and feasibility for the olympic games. we have to take care of the credibility and giving the ioc members more possibilities to take part in the decision making of the ioc and we have to address the youth in a way that leads them to practicing sports. >> one of the best of new york's best known opera houses is just weeks away from being shut down for good. the city opera is millions of dollars in debt and now the local arts community is appealing for help. kath turner has this >> the grim reality of world war ii but now the company needs the public more than ever. in a severe money shortfall threatens its very existence. >> we can't run a

in the soft shell jacket made from recycled water bottles? that is unreal. then coming up, new york city fashion week has nothing on us, folks. who do we have here? >> all the way from wellington, new zealand. and she's a team new zealand fan wear. >> so we should say all the things, we can have you walk on over this way, all these items are available at the america's cup park? >> america's cup park and america's cup marine. >> i sprung the model walk on jem and you guys did excellent. cocktails right after this weather hit. let's go ahead and get you the weather maps. you're going to see as we

shell contract is the program. it is not. the shell contract is 4%, less than 4% of the energy that

what i can say is that our goal is to have a portfolio with shell where every resource from which they purchase power is greenhouse gas free, california produced, and with unionized maintenance. >> okay, thanks. so, if you can walk us through the renewable character in city. we had at the last discussion policy committee, we talked about recs and what that does or doesn't do to some of the other goals and the jobs piece, if you can move us forward with that. >> yes. and just quickly, there are sort of three aspects to this program design that we've been trying to balance in response to concerns about public officials. one is affordability. there were a lot of concerns about a 14.57 [speaker not understood] when i came in april. we're aware that everybody wants the greenest product with the highest quality products. and that we need to have resources for local bills, which is what you're just referring to for buying and purchasing renewable energy steps produced in the city. and for energy efficiency projects. so, going on to the next slide, a few things have changed in our favor since

the power from shell is not the main event. the rates the mayor was discussing are maximum ceiling not to exceed rates. humans will not actually pay these rates. the actual program rates are yet to be set, but currently puc staff say they are competitive with pg&e brown power rates. that is being completely ignored. i would just like to point out that when we talk about homes being under water in the bayview and we're talking about mortgages, the more time that we spend debating this issue, we are actually talking about homes under water in the bayview, real water. we need to act sooner rather than later. i support everything that you're doing [inaudible]. >> thank you. next speaker. and final speaker. if there are any other members that wish to speak in general public comment, please step up. >>> i am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. those words were spoken by the angell gabriel to the prophet daniel and he gave him the greatest rev yoution in the entire old testament. he gave him the year of the a nowthctio

i want to encourage you not to be in the shell shock campaign, this is clearly an attempt by pg&e, to maintain the monopoly, if cleanpowersf were not a greener energy portfolio than the one we already have, we would not have strong environmental records such as supervisor john avalos, supervisor mar, assembly member tom ammiano, i appreciate this is a historic opportunity for our city to move forward and set an example for the rest of the country. we cannot afford to wait any longer. i look forward to being a cleanpowersf customer in the spring. thank you. >> carl bernadeto. >> thank you, commissioners, i am a resident for 11 years in san francisco and speaking as a resident, i'm in support of clean energy and cleanpowersf, for the record, i agree with everything that michelle meters said from sierra club, i don't want to repeat all that, i worked for a utility for ten years and when it was a monopoly, it became basically had to get competition and i just want to say that this is an amazing program that provides competition and i think pg&e will move forward in a more aggressive way t

years with shell. the actual green benefits of clean power sf do not come from the power revised from shell but building local renewable generation sufficiency here. the funds to provide that come from selling power, for example, from shell or another provider. the power from shell is not the main event. the rates the mayor was discussing are maximum ceiling not to exceed rates. humans will not actually pay these rates. the actual program rates are yet to be set, but currently puc staff say they are competitive with pg&e brown power rates. that is being completely ignored. i would just like to point out that when we talk about homes being under water in the bayview and we're talking about mortgages, the more time that we spend debating this issue, we are actually talking about homes under water in the bayview, real water. we need to act sooner rather than later. i support everything that you're doing [inaudible]. >> thank you. next speaker. and final speaker. if there are any other members that wish to

whenever you're inside a shell of uniform composition, that shell won't pull on you. you can just throw it out and as you get the smaller and smaller amounts, you can see that weight keeps going down, down, down, down and finally when d gets zero, you're down at the zero because there's no mass left but it's the mass outside in that -- shell and you can throw away. lemme show you a little argument for that. here's a shell of warm composition. i think you can see that in the center, any object in the center would have no gravity because it's being pulled in all directions equally. do we see that? but what i want to do is i want to convince you that it would cancel out no matter where you are and so what we'll do is we'll take a point that's about here where this distance here is twice this distance. do you think it would still cancel out this side and this side? what we'll do is we'll consider a solid cone--of material. we'll call this m1. we'll call that d1. we'll call this m2 and 2d. well, just d and 2d. let's look at our equation, let's have the equation guide you a

those communication that is i would like to direct to our general manager which is the letter from shell. would you mind explaining the nature of that let e i read it but i would like some interpretation of what that means? >> so, i can barbara to go up, but basically what the letter is saying is that shell is offering to reduce a million dollars and put it towards the build-out and then 500 thousand towards build-out, so as it relates to the not to exceed rate, the rate will be the same, however, it would put more of the money towards local build-out. you want to -- >> barbara hale, yes, that, and in addition, they are indicating in their letter that they are in active conversation with counterparties that operate power plants in california and are proposing those plants as part of the supply portfolio and i think they indicated, i don't want to misrepresent what they say here , they indicated that they are carbon neutral and are -- i'm looking for the language with respect to the operating status, mr. kelly. in state renewable i see here. >> [inaudible]. >> here it is, facilities opera

we got the rate down primarily from changing the resource mix from the products we purchased from shell. we also reduced our own internal budget and there were some changes that happened in the market that allowed us to bring the customer rate down and finally shell agreed to a few changes to the contract that were favorable to us, small, but they made a difference. >> what were those changes? was that in the letter issued in late july or other changes? >> no, that letter referred more to the resources they were trying to procure on our behalf. one of the things they agreed to do was to reduce the $11 million collateral by $1 million in the first year and half million in the second year. because we asked them to calculate the rates with more of the unbundled recs, the price went down, and we also eliminated a volume band. this is getting technical. but that saved about a half cent in the rate they were going to charge the city. >> do you recall that we had a joint meeting in july between lafco and the public utilities commission? >> yes. >> do you recall what point issues were raised by
