operational quacks in the lossloyees and power technicians have responsible for the day to day operation of the systems. and becauseetchyts connected to the bhiblg system of united states those are highly positions because this staff is typical employees the existing employees work right thing to do and lon we need to train nowsible but this is not a fast certification requirements for those positions utility not go into the process takes several we need training processes and staffing that takes years best case scenario. are critical for the hetch hetchy project you are ware worldwide share of electrical positions would require out of boxes thinking and strategies. this

chart is the hetch hetchyouth lake our vacant have i prosecute from at 2021 to of fiscal year 24a net gain of 26 filled position a huge success story and this is right work and let me explain and i'll dive into e use the net gain of 26 wrote down hundred and 10 appointment i internal and backfills for the internal positions on top of the straight a ration of 4 hires for one pcf appointment that is a work recruiting and examines and good work inquality. next i'll talk about the challenges we the strategies we use.

you know what the services necessary itself skilled folks having targeting, you know, one thing i'm trying to look back i have one question the in highway local 21 represents the engineers of the department and is that a good, bad or ugly or link in terms ofeach in finding folks like likecoming again the labor movement i don't you're a teacher ever gente what kind of everyone organization has an outreach we need more firefighters that type of stuff is that a local 21 for that type of resource the folks that we need to do this job. t i think you got generally speaking i'll let sher we meet with the labor partne and talk

about themeec and happy to get ferry building may know o way of advertising and we've gotten feedback that is valuableefforts. >> good that answers any.í you can continue to answer that. >> i don't have anynything to . >> commissioner ajami. >> i have a technical question. numbers but the challenges of recruiting areas. i didn't get how9h if you addressed any of those like a long list all important and valid. so how are we addressing f housing crisis or or healthcare options? >> you know all those are doesn't matter if you recruit. >> each one strategies - each list

of strategies that we do. so lack of housing we have temporary housing in - we set aside a certain portion of that housing to recruit positions. that means we knowa( are recruiting electrical jerks f coming from outside the areas we need to solve the housing problem um, to get them to÷f hetch hetchy we is multiple s housing. um, childcare we work where community partners and ha a relationship with other entities in our area that have childcare faults specific set of strategies we're using tollenge i don't know if they're any. >> (multiple voices.) >> you want to tal housing optimistic you're not the one cyber ta how buy homes until

they have given without insurance that is a bigso you might ps temporary housing by next year they will figure out something it is ongoing issue. a what the solution is there but people don't like to rental for a long-term because they start a have a home. so needs a serious strategy i ght it up last time but the city f all the assets themselves had the last meeting. and so is there like i don't know like policies that we can actually help people to provide insurance for thehomes? i don't know if it is solution i know for the tying e don't know all

the policies for example is th way we can build housing that can be used beyond a temporary um for example i'm not again like ideas out ther for exampletanford universities owns the people come and buy the house don't own lands what they're leasing have to lease a very specific rules associated with goes to faculty want to make sure they the faculty so like i kno you see systems in the areas have the sam we might need something more long term because you need to be able to explain childcare they're essential issues not goes and if the market picks up and people take jobs in other places some

of the people that need childcare. i don't know march you have those but like um, is there some way to come up with ide brooirm them or not? >> in terms of like long-term policies that decisions we really haven't worked on those but we had had is we are building a relationship with calak neighborhoods they can see is housing i can tell you that sales tax and the insurance is what you'll expect in the bay area we can give them an idea had 234e w for fires insurance and housing insurance b they'll see a reduction if they have a house i area or another urban area in the our

side we're trying to educate is available and had they can expect if they'reing in our area i'm the long run but we'reing with fire an increase cost a realistic expectation policies solutions. and maybe policy soluthing that we as a that the city can think about i this guys us with years on policies and help you to have a easier kroouts talented c might have other options. >> thank you for your effort. >> had similar questions on the same slide as commissioner ajami i knew we have housing options in around camp market and we have housing for other limitave a

couple of houses the camp but not for like employee not for employees. hopefully water and power for other uses >> got it the grace was a grea to see the decrease and congratulations have filled significant gaps and thoseeojobs are normally skilled by did the sometimes around the clock so i know how hard they are. to hire for and it seems like are a lot of the strategies at play and going to a great way of sort of getting people that the puc has very interesting j that it something to think about as an employer when y student. i also appreciate the licenses learned and the next steps you're thinking about how you to build on what know and

improve on what we know. i had a question with the tallying counties collaborative. >> the san francisco health commission helped to start that program. that is a program that involves not only the sfpuc local colleges our columbia college and trade 12 band of tribe th$g chicken ranchkeholders in our community and come together and a apprenticeship program preapprenticeship program is effective at getti vulnerable populations and helping them to preapprenticeship training in trades in trades. and it is really a really great

happen i want to make sure i understand in the are caused by the sfpuc that really limit up to aer of days did i understand that right. >> in this it is somewhat low has been put forward over a 10 day it is competitive process and the and awarded based on that the how risks they choose to accept we get involved in that. >> is there a limit on the ' of days with the delay numb is there so the city gets the contractor gets compensated the contractor is proposingble and each contract scope scheduled duration is

different in this case clearly on the staff rep back the number of days used evaluation and told in this case was 10 won dollar multiple by 10 and 6 e. >> on the groundwater planning study i wondered has sort of interested the puc in seeking more information about skyline and i think you answert in question but there is some hopee of ground level system increased relia subsequent and simplify the make the grounater syste better as a unit i want to make sure i understand genesis of lac for more ideasne from the citizens advisory committee. >> yes. that'sl?ent needs to change and is regulations how the system so doing modification and the water

current code for a protect measures to be mr. in place staff put together the ceqa and is monitoring protocol called it age m m rp protection mandatory and it is not need to be adopted pi d the permanent and in the ceqa adoption implementing agency n agency the led agency is stan law counties so assumed as stated in t revised version assumed responsibilities for implementing the monitoring associated with the permit and thg6surements in into the mitigation reporting plan we for this project. hopefully that. >> you're answering questions which is we pulled it off consent agenda maybe a person that asked question can comme on the.

>> commissioner stacy. he did have that question head h of time and that is a normal and see measures are built in into so looks like a thorough review also um, wanted to thank you. the there were a number of organizations involved they there is a motion on the table. working on this is trusts and the tallying r and is. >> (pig sound.) >> and stan last county andr staff and our staff and i wanted to give and for the inputs and thank you for walk you ou that environmental question thank you very

less than an adopt and required adoption like an m m it is different. and so what consultant we prurmd to be completed or of these ion was approved and really those both the m m the protective measures trying to anticipate all those re then build in whatever superstars we want to pit in there program. not something that of required by ceqa and adopt by the led agencies rather we were doing in anticipation of having requirements we had that from the beginning. >> we - se called is that. >> it is confusing to cal m m rp. >> (multiple voices.) >> a specific question i had i was doing this i'mave collected a lot of data. so to make sure that all thi how things are evolving as we're

work with pi b as they move forward with the project. >> e bit confusing i think it is useful to really equate whats measures are who will be responsible for. so at the. >> on the communicationpen remote callers anyone wishing to provide public comment. >> seeing none moderator any their hands raised. >> commission secretary one caller to be recognized you. thank you. >> caller you unmidnight and have two minutes. >> thank you peter. this is a good project in his work we collaboratively work up near is range we work and we appreciate the opportunity. this project will be if there is more flow in the

the good news is there are a lot of things that you can be doingticularly composting and the added benefit is when the compost is ac applied to the soil, it has the ability to rse climate change by pulling carbon out of the atmoradios. and there is huge amount of science that is breaking right now around that. >> in the early 90srancisco hired some engineers to analyze material san francisco was sending to landfill. ion study and that showed that most of the material san francisco w to landfill could be composted. it was things like food ounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started this curbside ting pr and we were the first city in the country to scraps separately from other trash and turn them into compost. it turns o things we ever did. it kept 2.5i tons of

material out of the landfill produced a beautiful nutri rich compost that has gone on to hundreds of farmschards and vineyards. so in that way you can manage r scraps and produce far less methane. solution. that gives people hope that we're doing something to slow down climate change. organic farming my whole life. when we trees it was natur compost from re-ecology. compost is i work and the soil biology orbes feed the plant and our job as regenerative farmers is ts with compost and they will feed the plant. it is very much like in here you say take care of your employees and your employees customers. the same thing. microbes and soil life and that will feed and take care of theants. >> they love compost because it is a nutrient r amendment. it is food for the soil. that is photosynthesis.

pulg atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. roots exude carbon into the soil. you are helping farm into a carbon sink. it is an international model.nc delegations from 135 countries have come to study this program. and it actually helped inspire a new law in california, senate w in california to reduce the amount of compostable materd to landfills by 75% byn francisco helped inspire this and this is a nation- >> because we have such an immatunship with nature and the natural cycles and the carbon cycles government does have t iep and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean foryes, sir and so forth. -- forest and so fors. we know that ou corporations are a significant percentage of carbon emission and corporate community has significant role to reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they anything

about the carbon footprint the operation and sp360 stands for the basicti corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint.>q in the world and very common sense butu are proposing a policy that is going to ma real change and that will change behavior because we know that en corporations have to disclose and be transpar have that kind of accountability, there is going to be oppositio provide technical assistance to state legislation sb1383 which requires them to have a food we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a and expansive education program for thebut also that we have partners

in government and ed to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators te science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy fors about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that pre-k they are just learning about the awe and wonder andep beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they getoldhem engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is e many years of drought. dry periods. farms and is really challenging. compost helps get through these difficult times. how is that? compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains water. and so when we roots of plants it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. it helps farms make th and that helps them grow for grn

grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farmcompost. farms and cities in california are veryow to this fact that creating compost, providing compost to farms communities survive and getiods. >> here is the thing.soil health climate health human health one versation. if we grow our food differently we can capture all that in the atmosphere and store it in unlimited quantities in the soil, nutrient dense foods that will take care of most of our so it's one conversation. understand that they are nature. they can't separa we started prowling the high plains in the 1870s and by the year, we turned it into a dust bowl. that is what igou don't pay attention to nature. nature bats have to wake up. wake up. compost. >> it is really easy to get because we have this belief that yoo be completely sustainable 24/7 in

all aspeflife. it is not about being perfect. it is about making a change your life. maybe saying you know what? i don't have to drive toe today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going to stainable in mind. that is -- it is sustainability in mind. that is how we move the dial. you don't >> san francisco has been and will continue to be one of the greener cities bho care about protecting a special ecosystem thinking about the history of the ohlone and the native andenous people who are stewards of this land from that history to nowlimate action plan we just passed and the goals we have, i think weve dedicated group of people who see the importance of this place. and who put effort into building an infrastructure that makes it possible. >> we have a long histo with the gold rush and the anti-war that is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s and 70s. of course earth day in 1970 which is huge. and i feel ve to work for the city because we are on such a forefront of
