last year, we did an open puc to see who would be the provider the puc submitted the best bid we were able to negotiate something that will be highly beneficial to the city at large and i represent treasure island where currently puc provides the power to the private residents it's one of the few neighbors i think it's great for the city for us to provide this not only does that gives us more leverage in terms of financing our infrastructure but it's important for our residents and employers to have that type of available to them speaking on clean choice agency vacation this is a program we strongly support and we would like to see move forward it is something that voters said going they wanted this as an option east of they have to pay for it, it's the right thing to do i want to thank the authors and happy to support more of those partnerships and add my name as a co-sponsor. >> so the amendments i've described we we'll take that without objection. we'll take that without objection. the amendments are adapted so i want to first of all, thank everyone on all sides and supervisor bree

street lights before then the puc budgeted less than $400,000 a year for citywide maintenance needs of more than 20 thousand street lights i want to thank the mayor and puc for their commitment to begin on a path to resolving the issue today's legislation b will create a framework how the city approaches the vision it is all a vision when we look at the design a legislation clearly sets forth the official policy of the city of san francisco regarding street lights making an official street for one municipally located streets program 40 percent of the lights for the puc and the sole owner of the entire street light system as out of heard pg&e didn't appear to object it that long-term transition that will land use & economic development committee make it an official policy city to include the pedestrian level lighting wherever there is a need to so and not installing and replacing lights that only focus on lighting streets and not sidewalks that will be city policy to just want the street light to led that lighting and have a clear and consistent t for responding to light issues revol

father or mother or grant ma participated in living a legacy we're having here is we know about sf puc the gather bond money and they love to waste i millions of dollars on consultants and they give a damn when it comes to the community i've had lots of patients i participated in desert storm i was part of the logistics so i know when i see certain things how they're supposed to be done again and again people claim they want to listen to us and shaft us this is not going to happen i'm not going to waste my time i have a good relationship with the attorney and many of you a good relationship on many levels by r but i represent the community i don't represent he myself and our community is hurting this is a time for young people from all community not somebody who is benefiting our contingent gaffe $300 million not for someone to send $200,000 for a new commissioner that says oh, that's okay to spend the time has come to get a brain transport so i can think the right way and embrace the community thank you very much. >> thank you, mr.

supervisor wiener alluded to easily and have now adapted pedestrian latin-american policy at the sf puc and i'm happy to say that the capital plan includes that i had lighting now where it hadn't in the past he the other highlight from the 10 year capital plan we're also just recently completed street light assessment that assessment use a sample to project what our capital needs will be and has estimated one .5 to over $5 million for urgent repairs on the street light system like you alluded to the gerrero corridor that's been fixed but not the only area that is in urgent need of repair that assessment provided us with a uniform and comprehensive method to take outdo the field and now need an implementation plan for the work. >> the capital plan ongoing implementation we'll have a much better picture of the assets themselves then we preservation do we're ahead of pg&e we have all our street lights mapped that we own and know where they are we don't have the condition of the street light system and that is what this assessment item on our capital plan will fund the more careful assessme

the wholesale market anothers dromoreduced watts rates we should be selling that this provides the puc with the first right of refusal to be the power provider by selling hetch hetchy ohio power to public and private promotions to the city entitlement it provide puc with the authority to first conduct the study and where it deems it arena or large housing project or a large project etc. so by doing this we'll stimulate the generation of more clean energy because the incurring energy that is currently purchasing the hydro electrical power will have to find other sources to that meet their stating portfolio and move san francisco towards our stated goal for the board of supervisors on having a purely renewalable system by 2030 >> colleagues i've received a number of communications and meetings with groups and the chamber of commerce that are concerned about the ability to choose a power provider and, of course, this board strongly supports this unanimously the power sf program a choice and competition are good things i hope we'll move and the power sf will become a reality the majority o

has it's power provider we've heard concerns about reliability and the puc is a reliable power provider to our airport or the general hospital for years the power has gone out there so colleagues, i ask for your support of this important legislation which will move us in a positive direction in terms of climate change and as well as addressing those are power needs in our system. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. >> supervisor tang thank you, supervisor wiener? an interesting proposal as you mentioned on many entities don't have a choice to some of the questions come up from the private entities that may fall under this i guess this set up here i think that folks have raised concerns about not having the choice so i wonder in the the city attorney or you, you can respond. >> sure first i want to thank andreas for doing terrific work in move forward this forward under the charter the puc has significant latitude in making choices about under which circumstances to provide power so under the cheater we're not allowed to micromanage the agency in terms of telling it when it should be provid

. >> just my comments off the assessment that's nice for the puc owned but in my district 090 percent is owned by pg&e that's in the contestanting so my frustration is the unresponsiveness that the utility company really has been to make repairs are larger absent from tennis shoes on an overhead wire to companies pointing to puc no one taking the ownership this is helpful it maps out exactly 95 percent of any problem pg&e is the sole force or the recommend to softly the challenges i'm interested in making the city look at the ownerships of 95 percent how do i help with that process. >> well, so a couple of thoughts. >> it's a tough question. >> that will be a city policy to happen i know there are you know going to be issues in terms of evaluation of pg&e street lights like the things for maintenance they're probably not worth as much as pg&e think they're worth ms. hail. >> the issue where you begin supervisor with the level of service i'm how have we're going to make headway in asking the california puc to ask pg&e to have performance goals and to report their maintenance activities

year and that the expiation is is will be up to the puc commission to decide what happens there if a new lease is proposed that will be up to the puc to decide and we'll do future sequa on whatever it proposed. >> i think you mentioned one of the pollutants are clay pigeons i don't understand what the part of clay. >> the tar that was used to bind the clay material it's basically the tar that was binding it was the sources of the contamination that type of clay pigeon is not used those are legacy containments from decades prior. >> so presumably if the club comes back they'll not be using anything that causes a future clear up from the past and correct. >> okay. then one finally question you say you're only temporarily removing the high and low houses on the safety fence and the rest what about restored. >> yes. the features that were determined to be part of the historic period of significance the orderly structures on the site will be protected in sight if they can't be moved those that can be moved will be moved off site so the soil can be replaced with clean fill. >> thank you. t

when the puc investigated, it found that the entire corridor on guerrero from market street to cesar chavez street was -- each and every light needed to be replaced. they were deteriorated and in terrible shape. this is a public safety issue that we absolutely should not have. unfortunately, when the puc did replace those lights, it did so without converting them to pedestrian-scale lighting and without upgrading them to led technology. this is an example of a major missed opportunity. we should be upgrading to l-e-d to save energy and to increase lighting levels and we should be transitioning our street light system to provide better lighting for pedestrians on sidewalks. the city's response to street light issues is both piecemeal and reactive. we haven't even allocated necessary resource he to think long term. the puc until very recently was spending a mere $250,000 a year to maintain almost 25,000 street lights. earlier this year i worked closely with the mayor's office and the puc to identify $9 million in new funds to help deal with some of the massive deferred maintenance on o
