take care of that. no one would have lower standard water delivered to them >> i think that's important because forest fires had been dealt with with a immediate and directly impact and we've learned how to deal with it. >> go back to the slides. again on top of the dam there's very little ash fallen on top of it. we were able to get our sampling crews out on the lake it was important we draw samples from the surface and debt. again showing here is right up next to the dam they're taking samples near the surface but they're taking samples at depth

and this was from .1 to .4 and the lake didn't change we're not getting a lot of ash and again confirming what we already knew from monitoring closely the water coming from the dam. this is where you can start to see the water clarity. the water is not covered. it was smokey in places. but it wasn't like ash was falling it was just general smoke. again, some spot fires on the south side of the reservoir it wasn't like the whole south room was on fire you can see that the rock again, the smoke was the big issue on air quality in the

area. this is the road there was spots where the road was going to be burnt-out. there have been other wildfires. on those roads are you under the impression that fema will help to build those roads? >> it's a discussion we're going to have to have. we had the foresight to purchase insurance so some of it is insured and we're going to have the adjusters go up and we're actually doing all the necessary paperwork to be prepared to submit a claim under fema. our assessment teams and finance

folks are working together to capture that information and once we submit it to fema we'll know more. there is some recovery under the national forest. we hope and i say that with a big h it doesn't effect us infinitely. who are the carriers with that we have? >> lexington insurance where are they located. >> i'll find out it's headed by lexington bus it's a group of insures and we carry an additional policy which the travelers insurance companies. >> is that a solitaire

reimbursement. >> we're really fortunate because we basically have 8 bucket of recovery for our recovery program. fema requires that when we think a company has insurance we have to go to those first and we have 5 categories >> i wanted to make sure when you rent a car for example, and this is a debate i voted against people don't realize that hair own auto insurance company is going to go first so there's never liability on that it's first out of your pocket so that's why i'm asking what are the balancing variables. >> the offsets it's not a covered asset but we'd look to fema but the good news is we

have 5 opportunities to look for insured coverage first before going to fema or the state and a but month insurance companies ask you liv because insurance companies collect our premium or find an excuse not to pay out so i'm concerned about the protections we have in place to offset those claims. >> those protections we put in place and list the seats we specifically went through the clauses to the degree fema declares an emergency and certain costs are recoverable but nefrmz it will be covered. >> the insurance companies won't reimburse until they get

the figures from the insurance companies. >> that's a long-term view we'll have argue rate policy folks protected. >> what's the premium on our policies. >> on the billion dollar it's 8 hundred and 389 thousand. >> but i want to point out and we'll get to this later in the presentation although we're hoping to recover all the money. it takes time to recover and we need to move quickly on a lot of those improvements or the recovery of slope stabilization so i think cash glossoflow f is one of the items in our presentation >> it's difficult because the chairman of the insurance policy

was - dealing with the oakland hills fire some of the insurance companies were fined $10 million because of the negative against. and when was the premium policy negotiated what year was that >> we review it every single year and go through all the assets and meet with the enterprise and this is part of our july renewal. >> so they can't back out because we've renewed for a year. >> so god must be a san franciscan (laughter). >> but we will insure that every dollar of recovery comes

back to your rate pairs. >> i played i because that's not an easy task and congratulations on that it's a hard task to get the policies in place and i hope you'll recover. >> last thing before you continue i visited the enter control i think you did as well, it was impressive and i want to say thank you to mr. kelly and all the sf puck staff. you all worked hard monday through sunday 24/7 i know because i documented all the texts i received and the updates but it confirms how hard you've been working and continue to be working especially in this

recovery stage so on behalf of our team i thank you >> thank you. i tell you those are appreciated out here and from all the folks in the field. we had the opportunity to pat people on the backs >> let them know it didn't go unnoticed. >> again more of the slides of the burnt road along 120. this is how much work we will have to do and it's a big issue we're going to take out the consultants on a plan. again, this is right at the intersection of highway 120 and cheri lake road.

we have the south fork yard that is where the fire bundy burned up here. this was the basis came was only a few miles away. this was a scary moment for everyone. one of the things we are restoring is our distribution system it takes power from our switchyard to early intakes to the camp that people actually live there but also up to cherry lake and also for the national park service. we lost quite a few of the power

poles. we have a contractor on site to replace those but it's going to take a couple of weeks. this is one of the things that happened and the slope stability that we're going to be dealing with. again >> do you have a question? >> yes. so three to four hundred poles was part of what was shut down. >> correct. >> and the powerhouses are back on line but the transmission line? >> those are taking the electricity a long ways away. those came in through undamaged but the smaller lines are on wooden poles so it you drive up

cherry you'll see the poles and those are our poles. we have another sector that goes up to cherry lake and down into the early intact area those are the poles that burned and those are still out >> those are still out and about will be for the next several weeks. >> those are generators; right? >> we need them to do the work. coming back again, just, you know, our crews are actually dropping all the hazardous trees we hope to get this done so we can work with the forest service on the failed timber.

we're in the recovery mode it's still an active emergency where we haven't stood down our emergency center. the damage looks like it need to be done 0 our transition lines. we're going to have a lot of erosion issue but as part of the emergency response teams the forest service national park service will put together. a lot of our lows maybe covered through our property insurance and we'll be applying for state and federal fire insurance and that state and federal money will take sometime to become available. i want to talk about our

financial issues. on september 5th we will give a report and there will be no change 40 in our rating. the water stated healthy. we don't expect any rate increases to be made so far as the water is concerned and we stated the same. on the power side we did have to purchase power during this event about $900,000 worth and additional we're going to need some short-term cash to fund the activities because a lot of those activities are water, power or joint so which pot of money do we draw from.

and it may affect our ability to issue bonds. so looking optioned we'll be come back with you with decision documents where do we find the capital on the power side there's a couple of areas one is the defer critical capital projects only to push out the timing to be free of cash. i think commissioner moran was talking about the budget and the progress report and that's to say which projects or moving and available. we can reduce or reappropriate money like from street lights or reappropriate the power reserve and use those but that reduce

your ability to - so last but not least, you know, we took a big hit but we're more resilient then we were before the power. i want to thank even the san francisco fire department and one of our liaisons was great. rec and park department and phil beginning berg and his staff were great to work with and their coordinating still by having the base camp for us was helpful. the department of emergency management, the control officer who is helping us with fema and then, of course, you being supportive of us throughout the whole incident you the board of supervisors and the mayor >> any questions.

>> yeah. i'm sorry. so those power funding optioned is that a decision we're going to have to make? >> we're going to have to make the decisions we haven't land on a number yet but it's going to be in the 10 of the thousands of dollars. we're going to have roads washing out and slope stability and so we're going to have to spend money in order to protect our facilities before we get into the seasons >> so when it that going to come back to us. >> we're going through the capital projects right now to try - we're going through all the optioned to see where to

defer. we'll come back to you with our logic and hopefully, we, do that within the next several weeks when we know how much money we'll need >> okay and a t a couple of comments. my understanding is that because ofor reserve policies we have money available but where does it make the most sense to take it from. >> can i just make a point? the intent is to recover all the money is that where is the best to temporarily move the money that will be in the best interest of the puck. so we'll find out mulch u how much we need to move and we'll

tell you our remedies and why it makes financial sense and it's really, you know, a policy call. but i think everybody agrees we need to move swiftly before winter hits and the other comment is that the fire service and national park service and fire are really good at what they do. they showed that again in this fire. i was very pleased that the last count there were only 5 injuries involved that the fire that's astounding injuries no fatalities and that's only injuries. they're very effective and when we say they're in charge that's a good thing

>> i wish - >> yep. >> any other comments. >> thank you. thank you. again for your service argue we're ready to move >> so the necklaces item is the sewer system and improvement program. >> okay. well good afternoon president torres and commissioners i'm director of the capital improvement program. i've hemihere to give you a

quarterly update so if the slides could go up. today i'll be briefing you on the program status and giving you highlights of our ongoing planning and design project the bay side and other phase one promotions and telling you a little bit about our public engagement program. so at this time, we have all the project managers have long been hired and the projects have started have been initiated. we're working on our baseline schedule. our program management plan has been developed and we have our procedures in placing place and our program risk register has been established we have

identified 29 risks and were in the plans of developing those strategies. just briefly on the construction projects this is the southeast generation plant we're replacing that facility with the old system. we've been trucking in wastewater oxygen and we'll continue to have that as a back up until our new facility is up. the foundation is being set and the oxygen equipment is starting installation this month and that project will wrap up next spring. we're anxious to get this complete and started up. the next project is an interesting one. the north project is a 42 inch

line that cuts through the heart of the financial district like those streets. this project will provide wastewater and storm water from the north section of town to the southern part. it runs in front of cable car tracks. it's like wearing through spaghetti of everything that's buried in the street. our challenges have long been numerous the public safety due to the faculties a tourism area and we've got a lot of foot traffic. we have run into buried tanks and historic wharves and old buildings and banned piles of things. we have an archeologist on site.

we're doug trenchless technology so we don't have to cut >> is our former secretary open site monitoring all the artifacts. >> he's constantly visiting me and we'll be going to the choifz next week to we're going to go through some boxes which should be interesting. our city team has dpun done a fantastic job. i was on site and my colleague got a hug and it was interesting but the neighbors have long been great and we've gotten pleasant e-mails and a could you bring the slides up again, please. the next project was the one the

digest active roofs so it will make it until the next facility is built. we've completed four of the roofs and we're currently wrapping number 8. during wet weather we can step it up and we have 4 left to do. we're fingering we can wrap up by the end of the calendar year 2015 but it's tough because we have to have a sufficient storage to be able to meet permit. it wasn't that funny. and then our planning had he design projects. we're extremely happy barn and caldwell has started work they have great expertise and we're

going to work would go them. i want to thank our colleague for the infrastructure part of it. all our previous work has been handed over to the consulate and we're working on that and we have a kickoff meeting coming up. one go thing we're interested in is determining our public engagement strategy that we keep the public fully engaged as we move through the project. the next essentially by the way, side project has been moving along for a while and we're right now actively looking at a variety of green and gray solutions. once those have settled down we're moving forward with our

technical program this fall to do the boring along the alignment. this is closely aligned with the seizing of the other assets how everything flows is all interrelated. the remaining projects are shown here the pump stations and the grit remove we've talked about. i want to highlight a little bit on our e i public workss the green gateway and others. we've been holding open houses and the most recent was for chinatown it was transmitted and

held on august 20th. those projects are a little bit challenging because there's a lot of coordination with rec and park and planning and they often have other scheduled in mind and other things to address so right now and at this time our team has done is a great job. we've been received well, and it's even on line has think well created. our project at yosemite are progressing. we've had community meetings at sunset and halfway pr we've had 2 hundred and 50 people attend the meeting but for each person who attends the meeting we have

5 people attending online. we're basically simulating the meeting because they're at their consumer and they go through our survey and we've had well over 2 thousand hits. we make those workshops very friendly. there are a longer format but the neighbors can go in and out but the puck and the project and, learn about and get feedback during the meeting or afterwards. we were asked about our monitoring at the last brooeflg. this slide shows where we were monitoring at the last wet weather but it wasn't very wet

but maybe this year we will get for rain to get better data. we put 95 different monitors within the collection system and all this data gets into the model to no, it. we're very concerned we quash baseline conditions so we'll be cpa capturing other conditions. we engage portland and portland has been a great resource and new york city and we had a brown bag and we integrate that into our program and feel we have a responsibility planning and monitoring programn
