- there are significant operational quacks in the loss of employees and power technicians have responsible for the day to day operation of thed becausech hetchy water has assets connected to the bh system of united states those are highly regulated positions because this staff is typical loss of employees the existing employees work right thing to do over time shifts we need to train staff as soon as possible but this is not a process significant training and certification requirements for those positions utility not go into the process ke years we need training processes and fully staffing that takes years best case scenario.

that classification a look job training revolves finding the actual work our colleagues performing our in-person collaboration has been important to us but it is a link term process as has been said and we look forward owe to - to continue to build the and only as a team we make a dents. i'm going to turn it over to sheryl. >> great. to the partnerships with hr s we built partnehi in our community and use misrepresent recruitin channels and built a database of en. we are not waiting for the city's recruiting process■@ to find inmates and kp

ta dedicated and hard working staff and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> well, i'm start off by saying thank you for one area of engineering needs and spoehg with the hetch hetchy stuff this is important. i think as said and you said we all said hiring, you know, for the city of san francisco i not just, you know, what the services necessary itself but highly skilled folks having targeting, yno an electrical engineers. one thing i'm trying to look back in terms of in highway i have one quon local 21 represents the engine of the department and is that a good,

ba o ugly or link in terms of outreach in finding folks like like other departments but coming again the labor movement i do care if you're a teacher evererate what kind of everyone organization has an outreach we need more firefighters that type of stuff is that resource local 21 for that type of rrc tap the folks that we need to do long question but i think you got it. >> generally speaking i'll le the laboro>c< and talk about thent strategy and happy to get ferry building may know a way of advertising

and we've gotten feedback that is vbl in our efforts. >> good that answers any question but you can continue■zo answer that. >> i don't have anyadd. >> commissioner ajami. >> i have a technicalqh questi. slides don't have numbers but the challenges of recruiting in other areas. i didn't get how if you addressed any of those like a long list all important and valid. so like how are we addressing f housing cr cildcare or healthcare options? >> you kno all those are doesn't matter if you recruit. >> each one strategies -h

we have a list of strategies that we do. so lack of housing we have temporary housing we set aside a certain portion of that■c for hard to recruit positions. that means we knowhat we are recruiting electrical jerks f and they're coming from outside the areas we need to help them solve the housing problem um, to get them come to hetch hetchy we is multipleegies around housing. um, childcare we work where community partners and vo other entities i our our area that have childcare faults cities each has a specific set of strategies we're using t

don't know if they're any. >> (multiple voices.) >> you want to housing optimistic you're not the one the cyber taot buy ho no homes have given without insurance that is a big problem. so you mightde someone temporary housing by next year they will figure out something a somehow i don't know like what the solution is there but people don't like to have a rental for b want to have a home. so tart a brought it up last time but the

s all the assets themselves hadhe conversation last meeting. and so is there like i don't kno like policies that we can actually get to help people to provide insurance for isut know for the tying but don the policies for example, is there a way we can build housing that actually be used beyond a temporary um, for example, i'm not again like ideas out there; right? for exale stanford universities owns tand people come and buy the house

don't own t lands what they're leasing have to lease is a very specific rules associated witho faculty want to make sure they provide affordable housing for the faculty so like i you see systems in the areas have amthing we might need something more long term because you need to be able to explain and childcare they're essential issues not something that comes and goes and if the market jobs in other thatchildcare. i don't know march you have those bute way to come uph ideas are yeah. i'll say in terms of

like long-term policies that types of policies decns really haven't worked on those but we had had is we are building a relationship with cad the neighborhoods they can see is housing options i can tell you that the sales tax and the insurance is kind of slipped from what you'll expect in they idea had 234 will pay for fires insurance and housing insurance um, they'll see a reduction if they have a housen the bay area or another urban area i pr side we're trying toduca

people about is available and had they can expect they'reing in our area i'm the long run but we'reing with f ankle an increase cost a realistic expecta i don't have policies solutions. and maybe policy can be something that wa commission beyond that the city can think about is gu should definitely come to us with years on policies ande you, you to have a er te kroouts talentedandidates someone might have other options. >> thank you for your effort. >> stacey. >> i had similar questions on the same slide as commissioner ajami i knew we housing and

housing options in around camp market and we have housing for ousi we have a couple of houses at the camp but not for employee not for employees. hopefully water and power for other uses. >> got it the grace was are t and congratulns and we have the jobs are normally skilled by did the sometimes around the so i know how hard they are hire for and it s a lot of e

strategies at play and going to school is a great way of sort of getting just familiar that the puc has very interest■ía■] jobs available an that it something to think about as an employer w you're a student. i also appreciate the licenses learned an the next steps you're thinking about how you to build we know and improve on what we know. a question with the tallying counties collaborative. >> the san francisco health sion internal affairs helped to start that program. that is a program that involves not only the sfpuc but local colleges, our columbia college and tradeunions, the 12

band ofthe chicken ranch so varies stakeholders in our community and come together and we have a apprenticeship program preapprenticeship program is highly egettng um, vulnerable populations and helping themo get jobs preapprenticeship training in trades has been in trades. and it is really a really great collaborative a really greking n they graduate into)ó preapprenticeship 1245ir quality tooike preconstruction work. they can't qualify for hetch hetchy power position only need der their belt

paragraph thatr in the current version the tids■d previously said the leads sa sdium the mitigation program and adopted t was incorrect this is an exemption for project so an exemption there is currents code a new exemption no m rp reporting program or m mp was requirednd requirement in the current code for a protect measures to be mr. in place staff put together the adoption and is monitoring prol it age m m rpn a protectio

thank you for is tac presentation he did have that question head h ahead of time clash to everyone but paurlz and see measures are built in into the project so looks like a thorough r and i also um, wanted to tnk nonprofits and agencies there were a number of=jsk um, organizations involved they there is a motion on the table. working o ts program is trusts and the tallying m river and is. >> (pig sound.) >> and stan last county and rec and park and your staff and

need those part of ceqa this is less than this is exemption brand new exemption not around long. andfa i believe our project was probably in the first 10 projects brought into the new exeon so the way it is explained to me tell what they call the u can exemption. they required protection less than an adopt and required adoption like an m rp it is different. and so wha we've done and the consultant we exemption was approved and really those both the m m rp the

protective measures trying to anticipate all those then build in whatever superstars we want to pit inre for a completes program. not something that of required by c and adopt by the led agencies er we were doing in anticipatin having requirements we had that from the beginning. w have called is that. >> it is confusing to m m rp. >> (multiple voices.) >> a scithing. >> one question i had i was doing this assuming i have collected a lot of data. somehow we need to make sure that alls data we can track how things are evolving as we're doing all those things but for thought you said - i got.

>> okay. >> thank you that. >> we're required to monitoring. >> (multiple voices.) nd you' >> (multiple voices). >> because we want to - i mean ou of curiosity and the fact we're spending money want to know the fi no project of data have. >>(m >> auto no project without a data. >> i know what you mean i got it. >> commissioner stacy. >> sorry wanted to follow up own commissioner ajami question. i thantaink i of having ich measures a how they're rese implemented part of the project so enforceable because they're built into the projectnd is statutory and the approving agency will tr and monitor

di0 yes in federal penitentiary i was released into prison and that's how i got introduced that so to chat they said apprenticeship they taught me to leave the and i found multiple jobs and owe that to everything i learned here in. >> wrong donor i feel your department has done is great job throughout the workforce developmen >> in the bay area as a whole, thinking about environmental sustainability. we have been a leader in the country across industries in

terms of what you cane have a learn approach. that is what allows us to be sl. >> what's wonderful is you have so many people wo novtors and whether it's cy banning plastic bags, recycling, composting, all the different things that we can do to impe the environment. we really champion. we are at recycle central, arec francisco pier 96. recycling the neighborhood from the blue bins bring 50 # o here to this facility and unload it. and inside ogy s

francisco's recycling company, they sort that into aluminum cans, glass cans, and different type ofi san francisco is making efforts to send less materials to the landfill and give mrecycling. other cities are observing this and aref san francisco's robust recycling program. it is good for the environment. but there is a lot of low quality plastics and plastics and candy wrappers and is difficult to recycle that. it is low quality material. in most citie landfill. >> looking at the plastics industry, the oltry is the main producer of blastics. and as we have been trying to ph fossil fuels and the transfer stream, this is the fossil fuels and thltic isn't recycled and goes into the

waste stream and the landf and unfortunately in the ocean.l be more plastic in the ocean >> we can recycle again and again and ag but plastic, maybe you can recycle it once, maybe. andat, even that process it downgrades into a lower quality mateal >> it is cheaper for the oil industry to create newasts and so they have been producing more and more plas so with our ab793, we have a bill that really has a goal of getting our beverage be made of more recycled content so by the time 2030 rolls t recycle content in a coke bottle, pepsip to 50% which is higher thatten union and the highest percentage in the world. nd way you can actually feel confident that what you're drinking will actually become

recycled. now, recommendation is don't use to plastic bottle to begin w but if do, they are committing to 50% recycled c >> the test thing we can do is vote with our consumer dollars when'ng. if you can die something no packaging and find loose fruits and vegetables, t the best. find in packaging and glass, metal and pap rer allsil recycled. we don't want plastic. we want lessplastic. awe what you we do locally is we program to think disposable and work one on one to provide technical assistance to swap out the disposable food service to reusables and we have funding available to support businesso that so that is

a way to get them off there. and i believe now is the time we lot of the solutions come on the market and come on the scene.>> and is really logi company and what we offer to is reasonable containers that they can order from about a painhat a lot of customers feel which wills a lot of waste with deliver, even transitioning from styrofoam to plastic, it is stillwateful. and to dream about reusing this one to bere-implemented and cost delivery and food takeout. we didn't have culture always. most people used to get delivered to people's homes and then the empty milk containers were put back out when fresh milk came. customers are so excited that we have this available in our

restaurant and came back and asked and were s excited about customers gain awareness understanding what it is and how it works and how y integrate it into their life. >> and they have always done it sustainable and long-term f change to what makes good financial sense especially as there are shipping issues and material issues and we see that will potentially be a way that we can s and so i think making that case to otherteu will >> one restaurant we converted

and impact they have in the community with one sw and we have been really encouraged to see more and more restaurants cooperate this. we are big fans re-ecology does in terms of understanding why the current system is broken. when people come to the facility, they are how much waste they see and the volume of the operations and how logy we have dedicated to sort correctl a they wanted to make change nts

this is sorting in the waste stream they do every single day and they can take ownership of and make a difference with.n i ent san francisco in the legislature and allows me to th because of the people the city attracts and isecause of the eco system of policy thinking that goes on in scisco that we are constantly seeing san francisco leading the way. there's a lot of environmental issues that they are facing. anh impacted by the impact of climate change. they will have the oppor be in and make the decisions in the future. >> we are re-inventing the way

theant does garbage founded in the environmental ethic and hunger to send less to landfills. this is so many wonderful things happeningfrancisco. i feel very fortunate and very humble to live here and to be part of this wonderful place.

fies they are continuing at an ever-increasing rate every umme drought continues and huge shortages of waternow. i don't think you have to be an expert to see the impact. when people create greenhouse g so by different activities like burning fossil fuels ae"d lettig off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we also do this waste. when we waste solid food and leave it in the landfill, it puts methane gas into the atmosphere an accelerates the rate at which we are warming our planet and makes all the■ef. the good news is there are a lot of be doing, particularly composting and the added benefit is when t compost is actually applied to the soil, it has thety to reverse climate change by pulling carbon atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios.

science that is breaking right now around that. >> in the early 90s, san francisco hired some engineers to analyze the material san landfill. was sending to they did a waste characterization study, and that showed that most of tha san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. it was thingsood scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started composting program and we were the first cityn to collect food scraps separately from other trash and turn them intocompost. it turns out it was one of the best things we ever did. it kept 2.5 million tons of rich compost that has gone on to

hundreds ofarms, orchards and vineyards. so in that■n you can manage your food scraps and produce far less methane. that is part of the solution. that gives people hope that we'romehing to slow down climatechae. >> i have been into organic farming my whole life. whe we started planting trees, it was natural to have compost from re-ecgcpost is how i work soilolo or the microbes feed the plant and our job as e the microbes with compost and they will feed the plant. much like in business where you say take care of your employees and your employees will take carolinas of your customers. thing. take care of the soil microbes and soil life and that will and take care of the plants. >> they love compost because it

is nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for the soil. that is toheis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. and the roots exude carbon into the soil. you ar helping turn a farm into a carbon sink. it is an interi model. delegations from 135 countries have come to study this and it actually helped inspire a new law in bill 1383. requires cities in california to reduce the amount compostable materials they send to landfills by 75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is a nation-leading policy. >> because we have such an immature relationship with nature and the natural cycles and the carbon government does have to step in and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean, foryes, , so forth. -- forest, and so fors.

we k corporations are a significant percentage of carbon on, and that the corporate community has td% reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that disclose anything about the carbonfootprint, the core operation and sp360 stands for corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and veryon sense but is controversial. any time you are proposing a t real change and that will change behavior because whate when corporations have to disclose and be and have that kind of accountability, the to be opposition. >> we have to provide technical assistance■4■z comply with the state legislation sb1383 which

requiro t have a food donation program. we keep the edible food local. and we are n composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want t food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in n it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program for the city. but also that we have partners are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making ior teachers to teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for stude that when they are really young in pre-k, they are just learning about■i■8hnd wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love

and affinity as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and peop >>a experiencing ry periods.of drought. that is really hard on farms and is really challenging.c helps f these difficult times. how is tha compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains and so when we put compost around the roots of plants, it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. itarms make that corner and that helps them grow for food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought inu naturally with compost. farms and cities in californ are very hip now to this fact that creating compost, providing compost to farms helps communities survive and get through those dry periods. >> here is thething.

soil health, climate health, human health,conversation. if we grow our food differently, we can capt all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and store it in unlimited quantitie nutrient dense foods that will take care of of m our civilized diseases. so it's one conversation. people have to understand that y nay can't separate. we started prowling the high plains in the 1870s and byhe 1930s, 60 year, we turned it into a dust bow that is what ignorance looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. nature bats last. so people have to wake up. wake up. compost. >> it is really easyo get frustrated because we have this belief that you have to be all aspects of your life./7n it is not about being perfect. it i ahange

here, a change there in your life. maybe saying, you know what? particular place today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going t walk. it is about having us is stainable in that is -- it is about having sustainability in mind. that is how we move the di don'l the time. >> san francisco has been ande greener cities because there are communities who care about protecting a special ecosystem and habitat. thinking about the history of the ohle native and indigenous people who are stewards of this land from that history to now with the ambitious climate action plan we just passed and t have, i think we have a dedicated group of people who see the importance of th place. and who put effort into build an infrastructure that actually makes it possible. >> we have a long starting with the gold rush and the anti-war activism and that

is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s. and of course, earth day in 1970 which i and i feel very privileged to work for the city because we are n forefront of environmental issues, and we get calls from all over the really to get information. how do cities createa programs like they do in san francisco. we are looking into the few which you are an innovation. we want solutions.
