full conversation, and i do not feel that had happened at all, so i would encourage you to bomb this until we have a full complement of commissioners to have a more in-depth -- i would encourage you to bump this. commissioner caen: this has come before us today. this is not new. we have already agreed to go in concert with three other districts to investigate it. that is all we are doing, and we agreed to do in a while ago. mr. ritchie? 2003. >> that is a long time. when i emailed people, they said they were surprised this was happening so fast. vice president moran:

commissioner courtney's question. >> i was at a hearing last week for cal water, and the chair from the san mateo planning commission was there and ask a lot of good questions, and one of them was, well, with less local water available and other restrictions, where is our water going to come from, because i been approving a lot of housing developments assuming the water is going to be there, but your plan does not convince me, and whether it is was, "well, we are going to look into desal," and she said that did not make her more comfortable because there is a lot of controversy over that. climate change, using all of this energy to produce a water source piccata adding to greenhouse gases, so i think it

is a good point. you're going to hear from organizations that are concerned at some point, and maybe it is better to hear in the first place, because i do not think people believe things are moving forward with dessal, -- desal, and $2,000 is a lot of money, so i think it would begin to notify people that this was on the agenda. vice president moran: any other further comments? at the wing commissioner caen: 's -- echoing commissioner caen's comments, as we go into this planning effort, none of this stuff is simple. the fact is that if he tried to do more storage any meaningful way, rain barrel do not get you

there, very frankly, and its storage is the answer, you may need to look at increasing the size of existing reservoirs, and i made the wrong end am delighted to be wrong, i do not think this is what you have in mind. as we look at all the pressures that are on the system, if we cannot work with a little bit -- local options, we have got to go back to the other. it is not simple on any side, and i think we're going to get there, and when we get there, i would like to have as down a base as possible about what the dissemination efforts are so we can have a conversation about that. it is also an old project that has been around a long time.

it is a new project to be here asked -- as an mou. i, for one, am very comfortable proceeding to this step, and i am sure we will be joined with lots of notice in do time. and with that, if i could have a motion? commissioner caen: i would like to move. vice president moran: is there a sudden? i will seconded. collins' favor? any opposed? the measure carries. -- all in favor? we need three votes, not a majority but the majority of the commission. commissioner courtney: i would

like to move that we carry the item over. vice president moran: we can have a motion to move to continue it. opposed? it carries, said that will be continued to a future meeting. -- so that will be continued. secretary housh: item 12, the discussion possible action to approve the plans and specifications and award water and a prize water system approved a program funded a contract, the calaveras dam replacement project, a joint venture to construct a new earth and rock fill dam to replace existing calaveras dam in alameda county and perform project-related work in santa

clara county. >> commissioners, and julie -- i am julie labonte. sometimes we get complacent, and we get a lot of approvals, but it is good to sit back. but we were very pleased with receiving five bids on this key projects. the lowest bid turned out to be responsible responsive, and we are pleased to secure approval for the award of this critical contract. i would also like to point out by the way that the winning bidder did commit to a participation of almost 7%, which was higher than the goal, which was 5%, so i think this shows a good favor.

>> do you have a specific question? or would you like me to take you through a general overview? do you have a specific question on the process, or would you like -- newmont -- commissioner caen: just to read it through it. >> to be able to complete the work. the apparent low bidder did not submit or we did not find when we went back and look at the documentation that affidavit. the city attorney's office reviewed all of the documents and the specifications as well as the law on the matter, and

they deemed that it goes towards its responsibility to perform its work, not its response of was, so we deemed the protest without merit. vice president moran: commissioners? any of the questions? public comments? >> a great project. so please do got here. kudos to your staff -- so pleased it got here. vice president moran: thank you. commissioner caen: i would like to make the suggestion that we add something to the resolution, and this goes back to my desire for more storage. when this project first came to was, which was in the year 2000 perhaps, i wanted the dam

taller, of course, and under the description of scope of work, it is stated, number one, that the design that could accommodate its enlargement but future generations -- i would like that wording put in the resolution because the scope of work can change, and i want to make sure that this is constructed so we can make it larger in the future if need be, so i would like to add in the last result where it says "approved plans and specifications which includes a designs that could accommodate potential enlargement by future generations." vice president moran: ok. we have a motion and a second. any discussion on the

commission? any public testimony? [laughter] any other public testimony? ok, i have a motion and a second. all of those in favor the motion carries. a contract for a little over quarter of $1 billion. secretary housh: mr. president, perhaps the next two items -- wait a minute. i have lost myself in the agenda here. vice president moran: mr. secretary, let's just do them one at a time. secretary housh: i know of 13,

-- i the number 13, discussion possible action to approve additional increases to the cost and schedule contract contingencies in the amount of $339,000 for a total amount of almost $3.50 million and 705 consecutive calendar days. vice president moran: commissioners, we have the package in front of us. would you like to have the presentation, or do you have specific questions could ok, then if i could have a motion? moved and seconded. is there any public comment. secretary housh: we have no

speaker cards. vice president moran: ok, the motion carries. secretary housh: the next item would be item number 14, the discussion possible action to approve increases to the existing contract cost and schedule for water and a prize, water system improvement program hh-935a, and to authorize the general manager to consider it is appropriate to approve my invitations to the contract amount and duration for a total of over $16.50 million in 621 consecutive calendar days. vice president moran: ok, do we have questions, or would we like the presentation, or should we vote could -- we vote?

do we have a motion? at a second? is there any public comment. -- and a second? is there any public comment? secretary housh: we have no speaker cards. vice president moran: the motion carries. secretary housh: i no. 15, the discussion possible action to approve modification number 92 water enterprises, water system and prevent program funded contract number with a time

new business, item 21. vice president moran: ok, commissioners, is there any new business? hearing none, do i have a motion to adjourn? commissioner: adjourned. commissioner caen: seconds. vice president moran: all of those in favor? the motion carries. secretary housh: we are adjourned.

years old to enter. the application is a little bit unique. this is actually a story store, but they are going to license a small, specific area of the premises, so it will allow people of any age to come into the store, but the area to access alcohol would be restricted to those 21 and older. we are recommending this application for approval. i would point out is not in an area of high crime. is located in an area of undue concentration. we are recommending approval with the following conditions. sales, service, and consumption of beverage shall be permitted between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. each day of the week. next, no noise shall be allowed beyond the area under the control of the licensee. next, loitering. ordering defined as standing idly about, lingering aimlessly without lawful business is prohibited on a property adjacent to licensed premises under the control of the licensee. interior lighting maintained there shall be sufficient to make easily discernible the

is an unusual application because it is a sustainable jewelry store that wants to sell alcohol. i worry that it might set a precedent where we will start to see more stores that are not traditionally selling beer and wine and alcohol trying to do this in the future, so i am wondering -- are there other examples of this? i have some concerns about this, especially as it impacts other small businesses that have been selling alcohol traditionally, and restaurants and other clearly connected businesses, but this is a jewelry store, so could you explain a little bit about -- is this a pattern? >> like you, i had similar concerns. what i can tell you it is we restricted the of sale component, so they will not compete with any of sale businesses in the area -- off- sale business is in the area appeared second, it is a very small part of the premises where wine can be served.

it is not their primary business, and that was the purpose of the last condition. first and foremost, they are a jewelry store. talking with the applicants, their primary goal is to really highlight local wineries. it does sound kind of unique, but just like people are pairing wine with food, i think these people will be pairing it with jewelry. i think it is new, and i think it is something we need to move cautiously on. in this case, this location, our recommendation was it could work. i do not see it presenting a community problem for a police problem, and i really do not see it impacting competition because it is so unique and specific to them, and is more of an intimate relationship with the customer and them. i do not see people coming in there just to spend time in their wine bar. i think it is more of an

invitation relationship. supervisor avalos: i guess -- we kind of joke about a moment ago when you were in office, but it is a little bit like a car dealership opening up a wine bar to help the make a decision about buying a car, or with a shoe store want to do that? and can expand to other retail outlets in the city. those are some of my thoughts as well. i actually was inclined to support, and i am kind of questioning that a little but right now. i do appreciate your work on this issue. perhaps we could open up for public comment and we could hear from the owners as well. we will open this up for public comment. we will do three minutes. a
