governor issued the drought integer and we also got a staff modem to the garden staff on water conversation and phil followed that by the end of january and as you read in the newspapers the mayor issued a distributive for everyone to follow and this addresses the drought. first a couple of puc slides are interesting. as you know everyone knows hetch hetchy is the proirm water resource in san francisco.

a couple different lines the black line, of course, is what hetch hetchy looked in our reservoirs and the green line is the waterline last year. hetch hetchy in the reservoir and the blue line goes back to 2007 and the orange line for you who are of my vintage remember the drought of 2007, you know, bricks in the toilet tanks that's the orange lion. the red line right there it's kind of overlays the erroneously line shows you how bad and the red line is the current year up to february. we're trending towards 1997 of

the levels. we also know that the snow pack is a big portion of the hetch hetchy. emigrate black line is what they view from the average show pack into the watershed and the green line is again, the - is last year 2013 and the imply line shows you 23407 our last low water year and the red line is current. so let me give you one good slide here. with citywide the municipal water use has decreased so all the city departments are nearly on here. the water use has declined fwi

percent since fiscal year 07 and 08 we're part of that but given the current drought there is more that needs to be done what are redoing that takes us into the current data. a couple of things irrigation was our main water use we're the largest city water user that's normal. we're looking to reduce our irrigation operation by 10 periods of time we'll ideal back our timer control setting as he the gardenerers will be mindful of pulling back their application of water by 10 percent this is one see

exception no name reflecter motor it means sexy electronic probes into the ground will measure the root zone moisture content. those probes allow you to control the irrigation exactly to what the roots needs it's probably the best tdr industry. golf course is already at the maximum use of their uses so we want to get the probes out to the other implying places to use the technology. we're going to turn off our recreational water features

religious are the ones that fund sadly we just have one were kids can jump around in the water the water doesn't recirculate we have one at the minnesota park and julius con race a feature where water coyotes and that's going off and the children's corridor in the said. >>and sadly at lafayette we've got a flowing river we're going to have to turn that off. we are going to establish that once a month so the embarrass can dry out and we check for leakages. >> denny are you doing any

posting of signs to let people know this the temporary. >> yes. we are there will be a variety of signage why this is turned off and i'll be addressing more of these every time they'll see this they'll have signage. we are going to reduce the run time on our decorative fountains and dell sole those water usage recirculate symbolly we are going to put there a sign so people can see when they're back on.

there's two big exceptions huntington at stole lake and a john f. kennedy drive we are going to leave those on the water falls recharger huntington rechargers one of those and they're the water feature that helps with allergy build up and prevents stagnation of the water so the water is circulating. now we are going to have water conversation repair work this is an insider baseball measure butts but it's important to the staff.

you've heard previously about our work order system t m a we've created a project code so if a gardener or supervisor submits a work order they tag water conservation on the first line those work orders get batched together and they're for a timely fix. something beale be doing and in that operation staff memo we're going to do a list if a system has been vandalized it will shut the system down and submit the work order and get it repaired because we don't want to be

operating faulty water systems. moving from the outside to the inside our rec centers and the swimming policies we'll be reducing water used by 10 percent. we have staff reviewing the program use of water whether it's an arts and crafts or whatever in the rec centers especially in the i think demeanor rooms people who leave showers on you'll be surprised how many people do that. we are going to have dirty

vehicles >> i'm sorry about this but we're not going to be doing any vehicle washing until we're through the major part of this the one expectation we have a wash rack at the golden gate park we spray the under sighed of the mowers so especially for our golf course it's cross contaminating some of the grass species we have so we can maintain them. the mowers will continue to be on the wash racks. we are going to continue our existing portfolios because we've reduced our water uncle maim by followingors two

portfolios we maximum our water at night as long as the climate is a handle it and not have mold and closely monitor our irrigation and how the application is being put out there so woesh not waiting the gutters and concrete that sort of thing. so we'll be continuing that and that takes us down into mayor ed lee executive derivative to work toward a goal of a 10 percent reduction in our water consumption. you see the top two apply to us the water conservation plan in place that i august and we

talked about the signage and explore use for water supply on streets. and that being a puc measure. so the water conservation plan has 4 plans we're to inventory all our mrimg fixtures their spell ought to be urban always and showerheads. our infrastructure is irrigation not part of this we'll be going through all our building and preliminaryly we know we have one thousand 6 hundred plus plumbing fixtures we've been loktd and calculating flow rates so identify high efficient to

low low efficient fixtures by august 1st and the second part is to have a timeline for our inefficient for example, turns to replace them. this is american people open-ended timeline we'll know where they are but have to have the fund source to go through and 0 replace those. we'll look at how long it will take to replace those by the fund will be needed. also the future capital projects where we have capital going on. the last part of the water conversation platoon is a list of best management plaza

practices for water efficiency of parts. we're the subject matter experts we could compile that list today with no problem. that's pretty much what we're doing our staff we've had the same presentation to our staff they're aware of the various measures to be undertaking and to remind them that basically, all san franciscans are looking to recreation and parks department for the water. >> do we have any public comment on this item please come forward. did you want to comment on this item >> hi, i'm denise i wanted to

>> jrntd . >> >> we've never been in so much focus worldwide and will not be this this is a the moment in time when a story going and make a wish is a program that fulfills wishes for children we operate in every cities there are 62 chapters. our chapter was formed in 8984

we fulfilled 24 wishes. our chapter covers from movntd ray 17 communities and we expect to fully 3 hundred and 50 wishes this year. we send verizon's it out to the wish families and interviews the wish child and if you do their heartfelt wish then go to work to make it happen. dismissals is a 5-year-old boy who was diagnosing diagnosed with life without parole when he was 20 months old he's 5 hose now in remission he had his port removed hose monopoly on the chemotherapy.

this particular wish the parents wanted to wait until he had energy. i began assigning this wish with the family in march and started to understand the two miles how are we going to achieve that i made a bold statement into turning this into goth am city. it codify catapulted. so, now it's a much for ininaccurate indicate from the divorce. people starting twoet and reposting and it went viral. it was incredible about make a

wish he wanted to be thinking about being batman. there's been a lot of super issues that have happened cross the country but i think that can only happen in san francisco the mayors on board and the city hall it's an incredible outpouring and i love how san francisco is in the spotlight here and people around the world sending their love to san francisco. you kids we thank you for your encourage and we wish we can erase the pain we hope this is the day of magic and that you'll remember this forever. bat kid forever in san francisco >> san francisco is unique in this way and it's part of our

compassion and we have a civic duty to be involved and people are stepping forward if in huge way. it's about san francisco and it's inspired by miles and about every child who has a severe when a resident of san francisco is looking for health care, you look in your neighborhood first. what is closest to you? if you come to a neighborhood health center or a clinic, you then have access it a system of care in the community health network. we are a system of care that was probably based on the family practice model, but it was really clear that there are

special populations with special needs. the cole street clinic is a youth clinic in the heart of the haight ashbury and they target youth. tom woodell takes care of many of the central city residents and they have great expertise in providing services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we

specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also have the wic program, which is a program that provides food vouchers for our families after they have their children, up to age 5 they are able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for

their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city. we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is bilingual because we are serving many monolingual chinese patients.

they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own truth, what it means to them. i see the behavior change in front of my eyes. maybe they have never been able to go out of boundaries, their lives have been so rigid to sort of expressing that makes tremendous changes. because we did what we did, it is now sort of a nationwide model. >> i think you would be surprised if you come to these clinics. many of them i think would be your neighbors if you knew that. often times we just don't discuss that. we treat husband and wife and they bring in their kids or we treat the grandparents and then

the next generation. there are people who come in who need treatment for their heart disease or for their diabetes or their high blood pressure or their cholesterol or their hepatitis b. we actually provide group medical visits and group education classes and meeting people who have similar chronic illnesses as you do really helps you understand that you are not alone in dealing with this. and it validates the experiences that you have and so you learn from each other. >> i think it's very important to try to be in tune with the needs of the community and a lot of our patients have -- a lot of our patients are actually immigrants who have a lot of competing priorities, family issues, child care issues, maybe not being able to find work or finding work and not being insured and health care sometimes isn't the top

priority for them. we need to understand that so that we can help them take care of themselves physically and emotionally to deal with all these other things. they also have to be working through with people living longer and living with more chronic conditions i think we're going to see more patients coming through. >> starting next year, every day 10,000 people will hit the age of 60 until 2020. . >> the needs of the patients that we see at kerr senior center often have to do with the consequences of long standing substance abuse and mental illness, linked to their chronic diseases. heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stroke, those kinds of chronic illnesses. when you get them in your 30's and 40's and you have them into

your aging process, you are not going to have a comfortable old age. you are also seeing in terms of epidemics, an increase in alzheimer's and it is going to increase as the population increases. there are quite a few seniors who have mental health problems but they are also, the majority of seniors, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the emergency room with a drastic om
