2:30 am
where somebody could use more than their supply guarantee. more than the interim supply assurance. it is a surplus back to the people who have that.
2:31 am
this is a for every issue. -- a forever issue. if eat palo alto -- east palo alto was successful, i think we would be very sympathetic to that. and part of what option 5 does is it keeps in place the incentive to do that.
2:32 am
this would basically say that if there are adjustments, is that those changes would be affected on the supply. the allocation, as well. bulls customers are approaching their water supply situation very serious. they are approaching conversation -- conservation measures aggressively.
2:33 am
the targets they have to be are tougher than the targets we have to meet. they are already doing that. there are a couple of amendments of would propose to make, to effectuate that. i will hold those. president vietor: thank you. i, for one, appreciate your
2:34 am
comments, particularly in regards to east palo alto. if we do proceed with option 5 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
2:35 am
2018 on, and started to think about that and looking at what that is going to be for all of 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
2:36 am
is not a component. >> city attorney's office. i think you should do this. commissioner: then i will do that. it would be resolved with an individual supply guarantee.

2:38 am
there's the isg transfer. commissioner: that would help 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

gary dod, real estate services. thank you for that -- for that in-depth description of what we're doing here. rile give you a couple of reasons the commission might consider an and reduced price. the current housing market and the economy being what it is. you're well familiar with that. as a commitment of staff money and resource that is k.m.j. development that put in the project. we're told it is well over a million dollars to date. the unforeseen difficulty that is k.m.j. faced with the city of mountain view at this development of the project -- the fact that k.m.j. offered a million dollars over the appraised val to you the public utilities commission. the public utilities commission has 600,000 dollars of deposit money. it is nonrefundable for k.m.j.

2:54 am
>> good morning, everybody. good morning. i'm angela alioto, the chair of the 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness. let me just say i think some of you might remember the mayor's race of 2003. i know gavin does.
2:55 am
it was quite a race. at the end, gavin and i agreed that our goal was to do everything we could for the homeless and four of our great city. as a consequence, the new mayor in january 2004, appointed an incredible committee of about 30 people to create the 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness. gavin said that i would not be able to do it by june. for six months, 30 incredible people -- and i mean in credible people -- from every walk of life -- the funding was to have the hotel industry, the chamber of commerce along with the activists from the tenderloin all get along from six months and actually come through with one of the most incredible plans to end chronic homelessness and
2:56 am
poverty in the city and county of san francisco. on june 29, 2004, mayor gavin newsom announced the plan, and we are standing here today still with that plan. one of the things that came out of the new administration that i considered to be the most important program in the united states of america is project homeless connect. a hand for the mayor. [applause] while the 10-year plan to end chronic homeless this is giving people permit supportive housing while even today, we need to address the issue of mental health, mental illness -- that is the promise of permanent supportive housing, the support of part, the mental health, and now that my best friend is governor and one of my closest friends is the lieutenant governor, we are going to focus
2:57 am
on mental health for the state of california. [applause] i want to introduce some of the original members of that committee. i want you to know everybody told us we could not do it, and as we are standing here today, i believe it is very close to 4000 people have gotten a prominent supporter of housing and are off the streets when they were chronically homeless, meaning they had been on the streets for more than four years with triple diagnoses and other mental health issues. almost 4000 people have a home that did not have a home, and that is because of the 10-year council and mayor gavin newsom. [applause] so i want to introduce michael d'annunzio. i'm going to totally blind again. loren hall. david heller. randy with him, and john hanley
2:58 am
from local 798. the firefighters, and dr. richard kenyon, who added one of our most important prongs' -- nutrition -- to the 10-year plan. that was truly innovative. [applause] so it is my great pleasure that so many members of the original 10-year plan are here. and of course, the federal homeless czar under george bush, who has now gotten project homeless connect in over 50 states, and i think it is over 230 cities in the united states along with the 10-year plan, was also a member of that original committee. we are here today -- and judith is going to help me -- this is one of the most incredible human beings, and she has been in charge for six years doing one hell of a job taking care of the four -- the poor.
2:59 am
>> thank you. today, we are going to begin with a beginning and vacation. can i get an acknowledgment for the jewish relations community council and the consortium of jewish community groups that are here today? if you could please stand, let's give you a round of applause. >> good morning. are you all very comfortable? good, stand up. [laughter] now, i will make this very quick and very easy. the best way to understand what you are doing today is the word justice. the word charity means to care. god does not care if you care. even if -- even the guy you may not believe in does not care if you care, but justice is what we are committed to do. this is by way of
