improvement project. also begin to cabin the review project and complete construction of all the e i ps that karen has presented and complete our upgrade side with the water assessment we've been talking about. so those are the sources of fund as you see the majority of increases are in the backs of our rates and we're conscious of that. very little bit coming from other sources. >> mr. president. commissioner torres >> going back to the f y the conceptual bio solids digestive some people think that's to the

moving along. >> we awarded the contract to a partnership with the brown and caldwell and - >> so the concern is it's not moving fast enough. >> well, it's difficult to see the conceptual design from the neighborhood but i can physically see it. >> we should have been further along there were delays. >> we were having some but we've been here for a year and . >> i think there's also a - there's on time and there's on time and there's on time and the project is scheduled at the moment. that's fine we're on time i think what dr. jackson talks about we've been messing with that for a long time.

so from that standpoint imprisoning the exceptions we couldn't be on time enough. we'll also be late >> obviously before you or i arrived this project was in the works. >> i'm the general manager for infrastructure. we came to the commission for permission to award to brown and cold case wall the planning it was approved and issued and we're on schedule. our counter schedule is for the analysis to be golden gate done at the end of the year and into the environmental phase and move the project on schedule. there was a lot of work done over the last decade planning this promise but through your direction set, of course, hired

a consultant and working on a final project that will be into construction by the 2017. all i'm saying is we could have move forward faster. >> i think dr. jackson is talking about this goes back to the late 18 (laughter) don't quote me on that. truly unfortunately, we can't change >> i applaud where we're move now and said the challenges. i want to make sure we're sensitive to the concerns i know you are about your general manager concerns so we're moving ahead thank you >> i believe commissioner caen it's her first meeting on the commission from 17 years ago i believe we were presenting to

the digesters. but we're happy to be where we're at and we look forward to the next few years with all the projects. so those are the uses of if you happened for the counter year and the next two years. as you see the orange bar is the debt service and also putting money into the federal reserve. and this is 2014 - 2015 budget requests it's self-explanatory those are initiatives we've worked on with the commission and this is breaking it down to see what's going into where for

2014 - 2015 and again, the same slide for 2015 - 2016. some of the priorities the regulatory is a big deal and we're renewing the oceanside permit with the water board and hauling is going to come up for renewal and the disposal will be up for renewal. the west side is important and the aside management we need to get that done to make sure those projects are part of the projects that we build. the green programs omniobviously, we're keeping a close icing eye on that both in the construction and design construction also in the o m piece as we move forward with

the green programs >> can i ask a question on that. particularlyly on the storm water project. i think it's like a big number with one or two people that are responding and needing to do ail the technical assistance work. is there a proposal to audio staff to make that happen. it looks like the way you worded is is to process it in a timely way. so what's the plan >> yes. we did. this shied is just for you commissioner vietor (laughter) >> if you're getting there i

can - >> that will be in the end as we talk about the two positions on the budget so support that work. we have some ordinances that have been implemented but we didn't have enough people for the project so it's caused a delay as the jthd has allowed two of those to move forward. we have an accomplishment slide for that piece. >> i can't remember who was commissioner was but it 134 should be in at an democrat we know the importance that that but to make sure we're responsive to the ordinance when we say we have the ordinance to the directive. >> i think one of the biggest challenges as does board of

supervisors put some in front of the other board without funding and i think the challenge is how can we prioritize this and still be within our budget so what we've can you think is we've relined some positions to address that. i be that some of the issues we're facing has new development come on line the timeline of our staff being able to look at it was weeks. so we're working with tommy and staff trying to prioritize resources to bring that down to a more reasonable timeline. i was talking about with my colleague we need to be smarter about how we comply resources to take care of the priorities >> right sounds good interest

good. ass >> most of those we completed in the last year. we've reissued the south east plant and we began a mobile device in the to tell rooms and also in the collection side there's a significant change where many the past it was done by 3 by 5 cards and we're going mobile and that's good. this is the southwest out fall out of oceanside four and a half miles out this year that was a big deal. this is a slight run off we've completed and implemented as adapted by the board of supervisors. we've talked about that last

item. oceanside treatment plant we have one-on-one within a few awards from that plant it's never have a violation and it's something to be proud of. so the planted award has gone 5 years without a violation. it's gone it's entire time. the silver award it's gone going enliven a year without a violation. treasure island when we had it we're going on a couple of years without a violation there >> i just want to point out to we're winning awards staff has done a wonderful job of obtaining those awards because the infrastructure in which

they're dealing with is really bad. so the problem is no violation nothing must be wrong. so we're really appointing all the capital investment to continue to achieve compliance and having a good record. i wanted to elevate that but we need to highlight we're doing it with duct tape that's where we continue to invest the resources to accomplish that >> thank you for that input. >> as you can see we rely on the puc we're data driven organization we run over one hundred thousand test we do with in partnership with the water quality folks with steve's shop.

we've had something one of the tests went outside the promoter you can s you can see there. this was the slide i was talking about. this is the strrment guidelines. we started this program i want to showing you this. there are over one hundred astronomer water plant we're having to loonth look at the staff is reviewing actually to implement pitting in place. this is a significant changed from the last couple of years that went into effect and shows you the workload and where all the projects are. now this is from our maintenance

section. the electric section is not included that is a slide we show the green bar is 60 percent or 18 percent we're below that. this speaks to how much more we do react actively versus the maintenance >> also on our report card we got low grades for appreciative active maintenance how can we change that. >> we're going to put in new equipment. this is where that change comes in and that's why we talk about aside management. it's very difficult when you have a 60-year-old equipment that their constantly trying to get done >> this doesn't include the

sewer. >> no, that data is in place and we'll have it in the next 6 months so we'll have a similar chart. >> it's important as well. >> yes. >> we're talking about how the budget should maintain the sewers. >> the very next slide is that slide. so this slide you should be familiar i present that to update that for the last 4 years. the total amounts we're expecting how many miles we've actually respected how many contracts have been awarded and our projection is going to drop down due primarily to the paving

program. they don't go down and pave by streets but by the blocks. it's forcing the staff to come in and set it all up and take it down after a block. so that's the significant change decrease. hopefully, we'll be back with the right numbers. i thought this was going to be coordinated with pg&e and other agencies that do the work in the streets >> that's exactly what's happening. we coordinate with sooefz folks and pg&e they have to be on the same page before any project we have a 5 year moratorium on any project so it takes time to coordinate the work. also we're not doing it on lines. the section line it should be

much easier if we stuck to the assessment. we can do one street but we're forced to do one block at that time, and it decreases the anywhere else >> it decreases the efficiencies. >> but the goals are not being reached. >> the goals are not being reached because of that but we must participate in the process their driving this piece because they also have target. we check them off but they're doing small maybe 2 blocks and move to do some other places where the roads are in worse conditions >> so their budget gains to be made if we're not doing the good

quickly could we readjust our goals. >> i think our goals are fine. i think next year we only have one more major for the paving program and we'll get back on track >> okay. >> once again we're not having to come back to the millions we have over 93 miles to do. >> i want to point out that is a condition of assessment. so we would like as tommy said to put the cameras in and do a long stretch. but now since the paving is driving what streets we actually do and how long you, you know, the street instead of doing the whole stretch of market or

irving we plan to do several millions of streets. we want to do before the paving before the sewer work we can include that into the actual paving contract >> what's the goals for the next couple fiscal years. >> well, we have not reached our goal yet we set a lot of i didn't goal that moves to one hundred and 50, however, we hadn't reached that goal. >> what goals are you working on. >> the last line i'll go over we're 15 miles a year for replacement. and the inspection is one hundred 25 to one hundred 50 >> on the inspector.

>> it's a 3 year pooifg program will be done in two years. >> necessary we have to dig up what they made. >> no, no, no pg&e has to come and spicket it we come in and check steve's folks check the waterline and any repairs need to be done it has to be done before the paving we can't go back there for 5 years. >> i want to point out there are a lot of challenges as it relates, you know, to after the street a paved if there's new surfaces that are required so hopefully, the department of public works they need to bring in the building inspection and

see if there's new development plans because if there's new places that increases from the resident to more pg&e increase or water increase we have to provide that service for them. so coordination is the key and i want to point out it's changing because all the utilities have their priorities so the question is if we have failing infrastructure and sewer and their paving a street it's a marginal how do we comply o deploy those services that's why the condition assessment is a important and we are trying to prioritize and a examine the

streets this is challenging to meet repairs. >> next slide please. >> so i'm closings on the last couple of slides are some pictures of construction we have going on. my apparently slide as you can see we're building a new oxygen plantation and oceanside is getting upgrades. thank you very much fewer time if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> commissioner caen.

>> under tab two. slide four. in this fiscal year how did the general reserve increase so much? >> so the previous 5 year adoptive rate packet and what will become the next 4 year rate package is important the sewer system improvement program on half billion dollars that's been appropriated and which the gentleman was talking about the digestive in particular the mortgage payment will come online for the design portion.

>> a little bit more questions. so under tab four will be later when you go into the tenure >> yeah. i'll wrap up when everyone talks. >> commissioner moran. >> one question looking at the position changes the detail it shows by my count there are 39 positions that are either traded or transferred so that's the kind of thing we're talking about earlier. there are 4 that come out and 3 can you remind the composition on off budget positions >> yeah. those are the specific project funded ones. we have about 6 hundred of our 24 hundred authorized positions

so 6 hundred are most of them capital in nature whether an employee working on the water system improvement programs those are the off budget so they're off budget in a sense they were previously funded through a capital supplemental as opposed to the operating budgeted >> any idea when the project encompass away those progressions go away. >> that's right he's going to walk you through his budget you but the wee subpoena is still happening it's not wound counsel so hose asking for new project positions. >> so when the project is over the need for those positions may go away but we have other needs that staff a resigned or relined

to so we have engineers that will work on one project on water and the next project is maybe on wastewater. so and we want to keep the expertise they've learned and transfer them to different projects >> so going through this presentation he'll show you the offer all need and the staff level compared to the amount of work we have and the consultants we use in other city departments. >> thank you and we look at them differently because an operating position is part of our ongoing operation with respect to the operation so that's a long-range term and commitment. so we don't count them in the same way because the work is for a time limited. we keep doing capital projects to hopefully, we'll retain the

expertise but hopefully as we goat through the renovation process >> and many of the things that maybe can be talked about as the wee subpoena is taylor off we had some staff move to other departments as well. that's one thing we're working on is other city departments >> okay as long as as there is no objections as promised i'll call important any public comment on item abc and did example did will be eliminated to 3 minutes and then we'll call for any public comment? now and reilly we'll recess >> first-come many comment her.

>> on as an burner avenue just to repave 4 blocks it took them 9 months and your general manager and other departments got over a thousand photographs to shoichl how exactly this is done. so paving is not easy. there are certainty requirement that the city needs. the other thing is four jurors brand new pipes were put only to be destroyed again. we have to have a program that tom cast does but it never happens. after the 9 months of paving san bruno avenue and monitoring it with only one person from dwp

then comes other company it doesn't see everything. we don't have the system fine tuned. commissioners you need to know how much money goes the dwp and how it money is given to the contractors and how reliable are those contractors. one major contractor is going under after having not did you live proper work. you need an evaluation it's noting our money. we need to get an evaluation on all the repaving that is linked to the water pipes and we need to get american people evaluation and that has to think post on the internet so we have full transparency and full accountability. thank you very much >> thank you francisco. is there any other any public

comment? seeing none. we're going to go into recess we'll return at the 2:15 p.m.lu?

>> and go through some of the highlights and answer any questions i might have. >> oh, weighing we've got to give him a hard time. >> so if we could go to the slide show. >> as the reminder the mission for the infrastructure goal is to in order to continue to provide high quality responsibilities to our customers per we implement the facilities that are necessary by the enterprises for them to do their work. our organizational chart is a typical organization we've a project bureau to handsome your overall
