100 million gallons per day. in the negotiated water supply agreement, that everyone here has signed, we will take a look and see whether they can be permanent or what might happen. so folks that are saying san jose and santa clara should have known individual in terms of allocation, that is not in compliance with the contract. that is not one of the choices. the choice is either that you give them the entire 4.5 that is
12:01 pm
the traditional amount of water that has been used. or you reduce them by the average of everybody else and has a reduction of an isg, and that is what we have done in number five, so that seems to be a fair allocation. hayward has the right to have any amount of water that they want. they have a pre-existing contract with san francisco, and so, they do not have an individual supply guaranteed to respect or to add to or anything. i do understand we can make a calculation, but they do not have one, so those are the three kind of outliers, and then you have people that have supply guarantees. some estimated they will be using more than their guarantee. some would be using at their individual supply guarantee, and
12:02 pm
some would be using less than that, so it is really how you deal with those people. we have done a variety of ways to do that. there was the idea of giving everybody what they said they would use, and there were a number of objections to that. they were projections that were used in a different context that we said, gee, since we have
12:03 pm
them, maybe we can use them. there is some belief that some agencies will look at this differently if they thought they were going to be a basis for this allocation. this is the one number that these there was agreement within and among the agencies. it does have a standing as a guarantee, and so, we have always tried to figure out how to improve that. if you look at the wholesale supply, agreement, it talks about having a transfer process. if there is not enough to go around with in those guarantees during this interim period,
12:04 pm
there could be transfers among agencies. i think we were trying to assert ourselves in some way in option four and other options to try to make it easier to be more flexible in how the allocation might happen, should we need to make it happen, but the contract does of the process, application process. it is the transfer process, and it is in the contract. option five premeds as to use what is in the contracts. i am not sure if that helps or not. >> why would east palo alto have that? commissioner: they needed
12:05 pm
development to survive economically, and that development would require water. >> and they're looking at going very significantly into development. you need to fix the among yourselves. >> there does not seem to be anything inappropriate. >> i do not think it is inappropriate. i think from their point of view, they would prefer that we fix it for them. it is several areas. those are the four, with their projections for use would have
12:06 pm
exceeded their individual supply guarantee. >> the high number for hayward is mainly a pre-existing contract. >> right, they get what they need. i think the distinction is if there is a transfer market, and those that have higher guarantees would possibly sell some of their extra that they may not want to hav that city, because of the way we treated them, would not have the option of selling it, because they already have whatever they need. they do not have something in addition to that as an allocation. commissioner: while i do not want to suggest what the position of our wholesale customers might be, what i would like to suggest is that what the people with isg's would love -- they have a very preferred
12:07 pm
position but that others would envy. -- position that others would envy. >> when was that signed? >> 1962. president vietor: commissioner moran? commissioner moran: i have read them and keep reading them as they come in. thank you for doing that. over the course of time, i think that has served to put on the table all of the issues and arguments that take place, and i do not think there is an and presented argument that we need for our consideration. it has been an interesting and productive effort would staff to get us where we are. anybody who has been listening
12:08 pm
to my comments knows that i started up by saying that if i got free rein, what i would do is with the isg's, make that equal supply insurance, so why was my preference, i cannot do that. i would prefer to do that, frankly, because it keeps our long-term objectives consistent with our short term objectives. things would be solved within the isa's, if you could do it that way. i presented it as a dilemma. it created a situation where somebody could use more than their supply guarantee.

12:13 pm
and with the market transfer arrangement. i just from my environmental conservation seat, i also hope that there was a change in the guarantees as a result of the market transfer arrangement or option five. there would be a high value placed on water conservation and per-capita use, because i think it is something that east palo alto has been doing and should be awarded for. this is in regards to the recognition we want to give east palo alto. i also want to a knowledge everyone for their conservation efforts, and what they have been doing, because it looks like we might be in pretty good shape as far as 2018 goes. the real issue is going to be 2018 on, and started to think about that and looking at what that is going to be for all of
12:14 pm
us, but i just want to acknowledge the good work that has been done and staff, as well, in presenting the options. i think it really has been quite remarkable, and a lot of that has been because of the input of the customers and the back and forth and the dialogue, and it is really great to be able to have that input into the government process and the decision making body like this, so i just want to recognize that, because it has worked well in the situation to really try and see all of the ways this very complicated pi could be carved up. -- pie could be carved up. if there are no other comments, perhaps we can entertain a motion that commissioner moran had? commissioner: there is one that is not a component.

12:17 pm
east palo alto? commissioner moran: it does not help them today, but, frankly, that problem is been there for decades. president vietor: but i think in that light, the record should state the conversation we have had in regards to east palo alto and the acknowledgement that there may be other equity issues involved. so i will call the vote. all of those in favor? opposed? the motion carried. thank you, commissioners, and think you all for coming to speak. we appreciate it. mr. secretary, next item, please. secretary housh: madam president, item number 11, a discussion and possible action to authorized. approve the amendments dealing with irrigation, clarifying
