reimbursement. i'm happy to rond myquestions >>ha i want to ask about equity in our approach to disastrous. i know that sue raised a question drawing from a great chart from one of our san francisco authorities whose where i live about relistens even to third world countries who were facing accident brunt of sea level rise. but the lowest lying areas are generally where the poorest people live along pap smear street or chavez areas my guess

is the poorest are there. do we have an approach to help those folks >> i can tell you that my department and even if agency shares the sent minded we're comment to because frankly after a drafr those are the folks who are going to need the help and the city resources are going ton spent. it it is incumbent upon us to use appropriate language. in san francisco the outreach materials you mentioned 72 hours.org we make those available in chinese and russian and japanese.

we do a lot of outreach through community meetings and we're happy to come and attend that the supervisors hold in their districts. and we work hard to do that. i think that during the immediate response when folks call 9-1-1 we try to encourage factories say the name of our language first so we can translate it. i want that's also going to be a priority to us. i'll refer back to the work we fire post recovery. their usual in large fires. a lot of those folks are not english speaking so we work hard to coordinate those services >> just wondering in 1989 this

quake. i realized then that when we need to reach out to institutions that serve kids california is in pretty good shape in responding a in a central office to respond for the outreach and so forth and fortunately it wasn't when kids were in school at the time. but i realized that year after the quake happened what we didn't have was a way to reach out to two hundred to 3 hundred individual childcare centers

that act dpintdly outside the school district. my he organization end up having to call to find out what happened. given that information or knowledge that the city really if respond very well to those orchestras and if it had been at a peak hour like 1 o'clock there was no way to reach them have we corrected that >> i want there's two things. when it comes to the school district it's easier to coordinate with the san francisco district and my office works closely with them to make sure they have an energy plan.

and on the childcare level it's chambering because there are so many individuals operations. i have two children and there is not really a central coordinator for childcare. over in the castro but membership in that it voluntary. that's a challenge we can do more work on >> there are two orchestras in san francisco that pretty much work with the childcare the childcare centers and the base centers. >> sure. >> and it is possible to reach

out to ultimatum because they have access to the businesses in san francisco. >> supervisor i think that's a great suggestion i'll be hoping hispanic to coordinate that. i live just down the street and my two years old daycare center for their headquarters and i'll follow-up with them and do some better outreach in san francisco that's a great suggestion saw thank you very much ms. alden. the next speaker and i'll really glad our manager amelia is here. i want to thank tom for being here as well. mr. cruise. >> thank you. i'm with the

public utilities commission. i want to after you've heard with dp w we support their work. i'd like to go through today why we flood and what we're doing long-term to prevent the flooding. san francisco has what we call a combined sewer system we capture both the typical sewer system as well as storm water into one correction and treat it at one location. this particular system has environmental benefits we catch 1 hundred percent of the rainfall and treat it as long as we can handle the volume. this is very rare many in the country do have this. to give you a sense of the capacitate we have in a storm

where we had full capacity we'll handle 5 hundred and 55 million gallons of water a day. and when we exceed that capacity we can store many, many more millions of gallons of water. so we exceed 5 hundred and 72 millions of gallons of water in one storm. overall we have our ocean >> treatment plant that plant handle 65 million gallons of water. on the bay side that's a wet water only facility but in the storm that kicks in and can handle 1 hundred and 52 millions. on the south east plant can

handle 2 hundred and 50 million gallons in the event of 0 storm and other facilities. even with a captain we run into situations where the storm exceeds our ability to process. we have on average about 10 disasters per year where the storm is so great we can't handle the problem so it goes into the bay. we're within our requirement. when this water is discharged it goes through collection system it allows the human waste to settle down to the bottom and

the cups and things move to the top. it's 85 to 95 percent storm water. i have a video and you can see the water is fairly clear it's mostly storm water. your overall system is quite alleged. in fact, with the south bend it's over 60-year-old apparently, you relevance passed a temp which allows us to move into the replacement of this familiarity. additionally we have over one through miles of sewer under the streets first year 60 percent of our plants are over 70-year-old.

that sewer was built in 1928 so when it sewer fails the pedestrian system it impacts the neighborhood. thank you for swivel addressing that. as part of the pucs particular item the puc historically has changed 4 miles of sewer per year. we're now up to 12 miles per year and next year we'll carry on at 15 millions per year until it's finished. >> the - what's the total length of the system. >> there's 10 though miles.

>> we're going characterizing storm changed. this is the king tied and represents the highest tied of the year. we had the bay coming over the seawall intruding. through the 19 north side we never had the bay rise reaching the disagree points. recently, we had a telephone month period it happened 7 times so we're going clearly seeing the bay rising. in addition to creating capacity impacts it introduces saltwater into our system 1928 we run a bio system and the introduction of saltwater creates impacts

there as well. so climate change we're focused on. additionally we manage the design storm. for example, a 5 year storm is a maximum storm to hit arrest we have experienced in san francisco since 2009 we've had 3, 5 year storm and one 10 year storm and one 25 year storm just in 2009. you can see the climate changes we may have to change our practices because of the high frequencies of storms. finally i'd like to say what are we doing to anytime misses flooding in the future. we have our puc program.

they are going to use $307 million. given the fact we manage public power and wait water we had to prioritize. drinking the water was our major priority so we're going already into the budget. we're creating a service water districts all the way from one community to san francisco. we move water over 3 hundred thousand miles. we're now shift so what the priority of the wastewater side. we don't want to take the

traditional murders wire looking at green sfra infrastructure. the ability to bring in non-traditional 70 san procedures to help with the ultimate goal of having the klein it environment possible. before we embarked on this the commission set goals first year those goals not only set the perimeters of the entire program but speak to regulatory compliance and to environmental stewardship. in fact, every project we push will go through a trip i will on all the intakz of living in san francisco to make sure it optimized the suretyship and regulatory xhooipz and a long term maintenance.

in the first phase which is 2 had the $7 million we're going to be focusing on the storm water and the flooding issues we face. in fact we'll be spend $412 million in the first phase on storm water management projects. what is important for san francisco is that the nature top grateful while they make a beautiful place to live wreak havoc. you can see the watersheds and they have a nature low points and as san francisco was build up the top grateful was not changed and still are the point where water will gravity to. we're going to look at the the green sfroo infrastructure will

help us handle storm water without having to move the water into our system therefore reducing flooding. for example, the green gateway we have currently the intersection of myths and valencia are at an odd level. the plan t so to reangle it and bring in all accident all sections and try to introduce pavements. we believe in each of those watersheds we'll capture millions of goodness a year and move the rain through the soil and let it move into the water table and filter accident storm water. and additionally i asked about

how many time we have to prepare. we are - we've just gotten permission for an advanced water system. putting in one new radar system up in the bay area which covers a blind sfot o spot in storm detection. it will give us more lead time to when the storms are coming in and it will allow us to be better prepared. we'll have another one on the south side of the city to look at the storm which will allow us to know which parts of the city are getting the most rain. it does not will be sent to the

computer in kangaroo and we'll have the most advanced rain detection system in the country. in addition to the infrastructure side you pasdz the storm water management policy. this is impacting any policy that distributors 5 thousand square feet whether a public or private managed project it will manage the water open site to reduce the demand on our exist system which will reduce flooding. additionally we have projects in waurps and we're working with the school district on some of those projects.

we created this project and we've given away $70,000 in grant in order to create for conservatism and since then people have harvested many gallons of water. additionally in 2009 we created an advanced program and awarded $1 million in grants to have more programs like sclaipz and again trying the to reduce the amount of water that is channeled into the system that were san francisco is the only utility throughout the city that is investing this type of capita. that is not currently under a consent decree

other cities are being forced to throw the government. san francisco decades ago had it's on vision and we're continuing to invest with our support. i also said like to acknowledge the hard work of the enterprise staff. our facilities are 60 years old and it takes a great amount of determination and skill to keep those will facilities running. i'd like to take a moment to congratulate them on winning the charity softball group >> also great to beat the shashgdz. i wanted to thank the staff because i think the puc is doing a great job educating folks on

the water and power and sewer system but especially what we put into the sewer project. it sounds like 12 and million plus going towards the storm water preparedness. i want to say that i think for the associate justice and a equality that the system is really a graeth of fresh air. thank you i don't have any questions >> i appreciate the great presentation. >> with that lets open this up for public comment. anyone wishing to speak please come forward >> you have the rebecca maps i

see. >> can someone help me with expanding the area i have a physical disability. just expand it thank you. it's the area seems to have shrunk. i'm so happy you are having this hearing. as - what i have here is a map by rebecca it shows in one of her books it's a scientific map

it shows the bay right now. because we have enormous amounts the - the bay has been filled in all the way from the golden gate bridge. and in the middle look at that. i have had the unfortunate position to deal with the creek around the planning department and when i i was at the puc fairly recently, there was a lot of attention paid to one of the streets this is the creeks additional no one sees the creeks i'm a pennsylvania folk so i pronouns i have pronounce

it creeks. i think you should actually expand this discussion to go into the bay part of the problem because not only is the water rising on the ocean but in the bay. unfortunately people at the port are doing everything they could do. i should explore pushing back. i will need to shut up. but this is hopefully only the first hearing >> thank you moy would like to? seeing none, mr. chairman can we close public comment >> we'll close the public comment. >> i want to thank the staff

from dp w for being here. i feel like i'm back no elementary school. our city's storm preparedness in our city i think the use of data the super computers for each other storms is a big step forward. and the department of energy use to inform our neighborhood. like supervisor yee mentioned plugging into 74 hours.org and other ways to get out the information the puc and the

departments are doing. i feel much more confident. i want this process and victor life in prison has done a great job. but the coordination between the departments is one suggestion coming out of this hearing i'm seeing the sewer system project is one critical way we're being pro-active so the south east side of the city which brunts the sewer system is is going to be improved so the preths helped me to understand that. those are my comment. i'm pleased with the presentations i'm i'm sure we'll

be reasoning with you as the storms come in november and december >> i want to thank you for your limp and all of the departments that are working on this energy management p, of course, the public works and puc and i want to note since we have a number of low points in my districts i know that the puc had a meeting last week to throb how the help the mentor in this area with grants since we do have a midterm and long-term strategy that's going to take time and in the meantime, the city is stepping in to help. can we have is a motion to file this item >> yes. >> again that motion passes

without objection. mr. clerkt item >> item number 3 so to consider the transfer of second avenue to victory boulevard for a target corporation doing business as. >> i want to ask the applicant and i believe that counsel for the applicant it here. i apologize if i mispronounce the name. close enough i hope. my apologizes >> good afternoon supervisors that was very close. i'm here today representing target. we're requesting a of the of the

public conversations to allow the general license to the new city target store opening at gary. this will be the second target the first one opened last year. that will oversee the folks in the richmond districts the same services. and the ability to sell acholic beverages along with gorgeous is a convenience for our neighborhood. well over 70 percent of target stores sell acholic beverages it's something that customers expect and it's a same
