Chair DeAndrade announced the arrival of a letter to the City from ISO, announcing a change in the order of closure of Potrero 3 as a result of siting of peakers. There as been consideration of alternate site to Mirant developing in City at Pier 80.
It was also a revelation at meeting that there is a possible three-month delay of the building of Jefferson-Martin transmission line. There is also pressure from Cal Water Resources to firm up site control lest we lose the peakers.

City Attorney's Office, Deputy City Attorney Theresa Mueller:City has a deadline of May 1, 2004 for: City's application to be deemed data adequate; and for site control (siting peakers). Met first deadline but not site control. By not meeting the May 1 site control deadline, affects our ability to keep our contract with the State Dept. of Water Resources, which is the financing vehicle for financing of the peakers. Mirant's bankruptcy has added more time to the whole process.

The Clerk will send a letter inviting the Directors from the PUC and SFEnvironment to come to the TF and explain the Electricity Plan.
