3:05 am
lot armstrong. we're the hunter's point art gallery and cultural center we're the first grow up that's a nonprofit agency founded in 1969 we were supported by neighborhood arts program and that was before they phased out if anyone what remember that. i'm here to thank this lady for stating we need to look at was going on and this puc needs to know we're here because when we do go to the art commission and e they ignore us but when we come here and put a little bit of pressure on the puc they in turn look at the commission and we get result. the majority of the art groups in the bayview health department they were not even looked at the. the monies were given out bye before we got a chance to submit
3:06 am
our proposal and that's very unfair. we're not being able to sustainable help our young people and develop our cult because we don't get any funding so we are going to look at doing graffiti and a our kids and our young black kids they're not getting what we as their parents as artists can give them and we're asking and begging that this puc with the cash cow situation look at what do you do what a big mess i made by giving our commission this money instead of the money in the bayview health department's we've never gotten any money from this art commission and at the don't recognize us i've been playing the game since 1968
3:07 am
we're going to do what we do but it maybe a little let's say i can't find a word for it we go to the junk stories and invent our compasses the bell can go off but we need to have a meeting with those people you and this group needs to meet with the arts commission my tell them what a big mess they've made. i think it's pathetic that the puc gave a $100,000 is that all that bayview hunter's point our young people and the artists is that all. before you call anyone that the groups that got funded were not in hunter's point.
3:08 am
3:09 am
>> item 7 is other commissioners business. commissioner seeing none, is there any any public comment on item 7 it's closed >> item 8 is report of the general manager. >> so the only update i have is water supply update. >> excuse me. steve assistant general manager for water. if i could have the power point please. i'm going to update you on the water supply as we discussed earlier. the water supply conditions have about a million feet in storage that's about 70 photo in our storage. our water supply is a storage
3:10 am
batted system. by comparison back in the year 2007 with have 80 percent of the storage. i referenced this because that's the last time that the commission declared a storage and called for 10 percent of volunteer rachel. but now the demand is 10 percent lower down to 24 million glances a day compared to two hundred and 50 million glances. we're in a dry year it's the demand is lower so we need to factor those things. the perspiration outcome is driveway. there was hopes of a storm
3:11 am
that's gone from the effort and it's kind of shooting in the dashlg. we'll be continuing to evaluate on a week to week was basis to determine if a drought is correct. this is a table that don't expect people to go into detail. it is the amount of storage in observer reservoirs including the riverbank and the pedro reservoir those are one million total feet. in particular cal various because of the project the water level is reduced so cal verses versus is not producing any storage. cherry is the highest in the system that contribute to our
3:12 am
operation but unless it's flowing it doesn't help but this is there for information to where the water is in the system. this next graft shows you four lines the black smother line is the perspiration it advanced slowly and rises up through february and march and a april. our water year is october one nil december 30th. so it doesn't take into accountant the water year started october 1st in 2012 it was a red period. last year, we had been 70 percent of museum perspiration it wasn't an awful year.
3:13 am
that's what you see in the green line it goes cross the table. that's the amount of anchorage precipitation in 2013 it was less than the amounted but it flattened anti. the blue is 2007 which didn't have an earlier year as last year and it tarpd out. 2007 was not a wet year and then the red line with the fall and what we've seen in john january we're going looking at low perspiration and that's the consideration we're not seeing it. on the other hand, every year is different years that have started like this one they end up with a wet and dry end of the
3:14 am
year you don't know and the snow pack is low. the black lion is the percent of medium snowpack you see a peak that's from the snow pack generally at its highest and the run avenue and it goes away. the green and blue lines were below that but the red line this year is low. we're not seeing a lot of snow up there we have dry conditions but we have a period of time ahead of us where woke up e we'll anticipate some rain in march and april. i've shown in the delivers this is typical of what happens at the beginning of a drought. people see dry years.
3:15 am
you have the red line it's the 23406, 2007 total system delivers ranging in the year this is july through june 30th. from the right to left it's the beginning of summer it's the highest demand and in the middle is january 1st it's about the middle of winter those are the low 0 it demands in the year. the blue line follows that pattern. the green line is this year. and you see beginning in september 1st that green line stays above above the blue line because people are experiencing dry conditions their irrigating their garden to keep their garden alive but this is also
3:16 am
what happened. this could be a multiple year situation so we're seeing that behavior but it could be economic recovery but demand it up a little bit but we're at the low point >> mr. richie and if i may what year is comparable to this year in the past. >> actually i wouldn't tell you which year i was talking general, i can come up with the most comparable liquor some of them end up getting wet and some end up driveway half-and-half. >> so people opine that 1977 was a dry year it's comparable. >> it's comparable but it depends upon. >> what happened in 198 ever 78. it was an average year
3:17 am
>> it could happen for us. >> and that's the other thing a statewide declaration of drought every watershed is different. for example, in 2007 when we went to voluntary rachel but since everybody was asking for water it felt okay to be in this position because san jose had to take a different attitude. the next slide is what we have in our agreement the wholesale agreement. it has a whole section devoted to available supply and declaration of drought under the water code and also the rules of
3:18 am
the road on how we share allocations through a drought period. so here because of the anticipation of whatever wet conditions february 1st is when we initial our investment of water supply and march first, we revise that we then he determine the amount of water available to our wholesale customers. by trillion april 15th he know how much precipitation we have. so april 15th is the date but we could do it sooner but puc could declare an energy and calory the need for mandatory rachel to allow people to platoon for the year ahead. certainly it's a dry year and if
3:19 am
snug changes between now and federal bureau e february 1st, we also try even if we don't call for mandatory rachel we also emphasize our conservatism that we need to use water wisely and people should take advantage our our additional measures. for us the way the program lays out we call for 10 percent volunteer rash on and on. if the governor dlafrz one that didn't take effect it's up to this commission to delivery a water supply emergency. we're tracking that on a week to week basis and it's been updated
3:20 am
so we're on top of that if things don't turn the corner we're prepared to move to a declaration of a water supply emergency. i'm happy to answer questions >> commissioner vietor. >> i have a question about how the governors ratio on and on maintaining is it would direct and prioritize city accumulation over add accumulation statewide but how does that effect our utility. >> i've asked the attorneys to look at that what, if anything, implementation i talked to don. >> assistant deputy city attorney but it would use a
3:21 am
declaration for the customers of the system. >> and our common customers in santa clara valley district is the receipt of the delivers as the county so if their allocation gets cut short they'll look to sophomore san francisco more, more. >> commissioners. >> commissioner moran. i think it's worth noting that there's a difference between there's with being a drought and water supply deficiency. it's 2340erg9 that some acids in california are in bad shape
3:22 am
we're in good shape because we have a lot of storage and it's that storage capacity that provide a measure of relief and buffer for us during the dry years >> you're not sigg we're getting water from la or you (laughter). >> but i would add that we recognize this could be the beginning of the drought and to it may not be warranted for us to trigger the state emergency drought it's pickup truck for us and steve richie members of the jury, we should acknowledge any water we save now we can actually survive longer over the hall. so i think we will, you know,
3:23 am
partner with the state and a look at our water supply and error on the side of caution >> i will note on agenda item 11 it's a matter of dpifg our water supply. >> commissioner vietor. >> one more question like the planning in case we move into a position of declaration for our utility and things we want to accelerate. i am somewhat responding to mr. brooks comments that could be an ongoing situation and unfortunately, there were lessons we would have made years
3:24 am
ago when we were a cash cow to invest in ground water management any number of diversification opportunity. so i would hope in those coming months as we see what's going to happen with the weather we could accelerate understanding, you know, some of our capital constraint. >> we made a commitment to semiand a diverse our water supply and if we're trying to moved those projects are very challenging so we can impulsive an update of the states that we're currently working on. >> we'll discuss this as part
3:25 am
of the water budget next. >> i know of a reservoir that would be filled. >> (laughter). >> i've any (laughter) commissioner mingle. >> thank you, mr. richie. any public comment on the general manager's report seeing none, public comment is closed. madam secretary next item, please >> item 89 is the consent calendar and items 9 through h constitute a consent calendar will be acted upon by a member of the commission and the event could be removed from the item. would you, please read them all. item a is to approve the
