[Sustain] Important: For Tonights GM - Maxwell Clean Energy Legislation (attached)

[Eric Brooks]

Hi again,

Also for tonight's energy item see both the attached Maxwell Clean 
energy legislation (also with and a previous clean tech measure) and the 
proposed amendments below which the Sustainability group recommends we 
seek to make the Maxwell measure strong and effective.

1) Make the language very directive of the SFPUC, as Prop H was, and 
also include a directive to the SFPUC to deliver a full plan to Cal ISO 
to replace Mirant by 2012 with only renewables and efficiency

2) Correct the clean energy targets to make them mandates, including the 
100% by 2040 mandate

3) Correct the language so that the plan is comprehensively developed 
for all current customers and future CCA customers including detailed 
coordination with the projected CCA roll out (we should ask Paul Fenn 
about specifics)

4) Strengthen the public power study language so that it matches Prop H

5) Provide funding and direction to the LAFCo to take over the process 
if the SFPUC doesn't complete the overall energy plan, and the Mirant 
replacement plan, on strict fixed schedules

6) Use the definition of clean technology that is in the City's Clean 
Tech ordinance (also attached)

7) Direct the SFPUC to develop a plan to sell the Combustion Turbines to 
a community that will use them to replace coal generation and petition 
the Dept. of Water Resources for authority to make the sale

8) Possibly a clause directing the Transbay Joint Powers Authority to 
work with the SFPUC to design a clean alternative to the natural gas 
steam heat boiler planned for the development

9) Possibly a clause directing and assisting UCSF to use clean back up 
generation instead of a natural gas generator in its new Mission Bay 
development

10) The same language Prop H employed to protect CCA, and/or if Paul 
Fenn agrees, language strengthening the mandates for SFPUC to get CCA 
underway (as above in proposed amendment 3)

11) Specific language and possibly even funding for green jobs development

12) Possibly a clause banning new fossil fuel power plants in San Francisco
