Labor Council asking it to appoint a member. Seconded by Mr. Boss, motion carried. Mr. DeAndrade will write the letter.

Mr. Moss nominated John Borg for vice chair; Mr. Boss seconded the nomination, and Mr. Borg was elected unanimously.
5. PLANS AND GOALS OF THE TASK FORCE
Mr. DeAndrade stated that the focus does not need to be on the closure of Hunters Point Plant, since everyone wants that done, but we should look out for what's happening at Potrero and other energy sources throughout the City.
Ms. Pierce and Ms. Lanza: nothing has changed at Hunters Point, even though there is agreement to close it; as a result, the City must continue to work to close it.
Mr. Moss and Ms. Pierce: the sitting of the CTs should be the primary goal.
Mr. Borg: goal of the Potrero PPCATF was to have a net improvement of air quality while improving reliability at the same time. Perhaps should set goals in mission statement.
Julie Labonte, project manager for the Electric Reliability Project appeared to respond to the Task Force questions.
Undertaking outreach efforts on mitigations. Putting together a matrix of mitigations. Putting on a workshop at the Potrero Neighborhood House on July 13th to evaluate mitigation criteria.
Want feedback from Task Force on mitigations.
Mr. Moss: disturbing that discussion of mitigations is taking place before discussion of CTs and siting.
Anne Eng from the Dept. of the Environment stated that she would return and report back to the Task Force on renewables.
