now i want to introduce dawn weiss from the marin energy authority and david orth. supervisor mirkarimi: right before we bring up our guest, would not you say from the tenor of the senate panel hearing that you and i, and others, attended, that there is a sea change in sacramento recognizing the level of interference or obstructionist practices by the private utility so that it is now on the radar. municipal governments should be free to pursue, in a unfettered way, their ability to become a cca. would you say that that have now captured the attention of others? lines have potentially been crossed where now cpuc is being involved. >> absolutely, there is frustration with utilities for not meeting their targets. sacramento may be thinking that municipalities like ours can help to achieve the state's targets. as well, general frustrations that pg&e and its other transactions -- they have definitely demonstrated that they have very much changed their posture since ab 117 was enacted. pg&e said they were in different to the formation of cca's. they have demonstrated tha

[laughter] >> bostick that was made for those of those who would understand this, it was how they based the construction, and the language was only written for the bass bid, so when you took two or three alternates, you took the bass bid and recalculated it -- written for the base bid, so when you took two or three alternates, you took wthe base bid and recalculated it. it will shortly after the scented to esther. it did not change one thing, but it changed the amounts. commissioner norton: they made this mistake on all of them? >> yes.

the damage done to precious smile dental and orth done ticks was done by a car an hour ago. the driver of a chevy impala blew through the intersection heading west, barely missed a couple people on the sidewalk and plowed into the side of this dental office. there were people in it at the time. they managed to get away with just some scrapes and cuts from the flying glass. the driver tells the paramedics that he doesn't remember anything before, during or after. apparently had some kind of medical condition that they haven't been able to identify yet because he's really not that communicative. he was transported to the hospital as were a couple of people inside with those minor injuries. so far police, fire officials have no more information than that. they're gonna have to find out what condition this driver has. they said that his car does have out of state plates. they don't know for sure if that means he is from out of state or just happens to be driving a car that's from out of state. could have been much worse. not sure what speed he was going through the intersection.

secondly, dawn weiss is here from the marin energy authority, as well as david orth from the san joaquin valley energy authority to talk about their status of where they are with their program and also to address -- am i getting feedback? to talk a little bit about -- these are two programs that are independent programs. they are structured differently than ours in that they have taken on the risk themselves as a public entity for the program. this was an issue that came out before our commission, so they will address some of the issues on risk that they have dealt with in their jurisdictions. so with that, we are going to start with mike. >> good morning, chairman, commissioners, my name is michael campbell. as ms. miller just highlighted, i am going to give a status update on the variety of areas we are pushing aggressively at the puc to make sure the rules that are set up are as favorable toward the cca as possible. right now, the deck is stacked against us. as mentioned, we will have discussion from representative from the brent and san joaquin valley power authority. first of all, i
