this snowpack is about 33 or 35 percent of the snowpack. we saw a 10 percent increase as a result of the storm of february. in march we've received an inch nature but the outreach is less over the week we're seeing a warm temperature this weekend that's important for water use and hope people keep their irrigation in the off. based on our current forecast for hetch hetchy the july storage will be above 1977 that's one of the lowest continues for hetch hetchy so we indicate on the hill we'll be above the 19 condition.

we need another 19 inches to fill the hetch hetchy and that's 6 nature inches of precipitation but we can fill hetch hetchy by july 1st. that's quite good. just to review our management actions july 31st was the volunteer and the mayor followed up. our general manager declared an energy important the lower aqueduct that will increase water supply we're moving forward with the project and hope to have it operable by october 1st. i think is it this week >> thursday. >> free bid is thursday at the

9:00 a.m. we expect a contract by early primarily april. we've been watching the state drought legislation we have an elevation of water management funding 4 hundred million and another 2 hundred million for brought relieve. our san francisco ground water program and system in san francisco. on march third we sent our update for the water supply availability to our customers and that update said to continue to have a 10 percent reduction in place. we don't anticipate that being reduced anytime steno soon. april 15th we'll have our final estimate of our water supply for

the hotel customers and this will be reaffirmed our - our water supply we may delivery a storage of water under the code peculiar. any questions >> no questions. any questions from the public? no. thank you very much. it was a - yes >> i read where secondary water is going into the facility. and i want to know what's the secondary water the way it read we were drinking that water at our facilities over there is that a fact.

is that true. or do we have different water it concerns me because i know when it was discussed earlier by the greenhouse secondary water was supposed to be going to the greenhouse but not the facility building but the way it read it was going to the facility building >> so you're talking about the southeast. >> yeah. i'm talking about the southeast. >> to my knowledge there's no secondary water going to the building. we've talked about going to the greenhouses and other stuff >> but it is stated the facility building that's why i want to make sure i said i was going to ask that question are you giving e giving you

secondary water in the building. >> where did you say you read this. >> it was a report from the director to the commission. on it was notes going back and forth about the secondary facility and it was in there. i wanted to make sure i don't drink water that much anyway, >> you should. >> i'm not going to drink our secondary water for sure. >> anybody have knowledge and well, there's no secondary water going into the building but i'll talk to here later about the communications. >> so where am i here. is that the end of your report >> that's the end of my report. >> any other public comment on the general manager report.

>> moving on to item 8 madam secretary. >> items 8 a, b, c consent calendar, are considered to be routine removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. >> commissioners what's our wish. >> second. >> general public any comments? i'll call for the vote all in favor, say i. opposed? the motion carries. item 9 >> item 9 is public comments and matters for closed session.

>> could you please read the items for closed session first. >> sure. closed session item 11 is existing litigation thomas cook vs. the city and county of san francisco east all and the next is san francisco vs. pacific gas company and 3 is the city and county of san francisco vs. pacific gas protect and item next is the city and county of san francisco of protect vs. >> is there any public comment on the items we're dealing with in closed session today. seeing none, may i have a motion to assert >> motion. >> second. >>

session. >> we're back from closed session i'd like to report on whafd item 11 was settled item e 12 no action and 13 no action and 14 and 15 no action. may i have a motion whether or not to disclose >> i'll move not to disclose all in favor, say i. opposed? any other new business. >> madam chair one quick item to request of staff we've done a lot of engineering work on what to do with the mountain tunnel. the engineering report on that i've read it makes sense it recommendations that we basically build a second tunnel

and decommission the first that's twice as expensive i request staff we have somebody other than who wrote the irrational report do a kind of a challenge investigation. the reason that you go to the separate tunnel is because there's problems if you try to repair an existing tunnel you take out of service a couple of the a year. i'd like to given the amount of money and probable is what we're spending on the reservoir so i would like to take a hard look at technologies of hard communication or methods of staging or anything that can, you know, avoid the necessity of going to a second tunnel and

lower the cost and at the same time very clearly that, you know, we need to keep the system safe and reliable that's the instant issue. >> have we seen the different alternatives to the tunnel and the cost i mean have we - >> we've identified alternatives based on the designer and i totally agree with the commissioner we need to look harder and bring someone else in to really look at is there any other opposite we haven't looked at because this impacts our system and everyone is concerned about the cost of this option. >> yeah. right they've identified three or four different ways of addressing

either totally redondo lynn or they're trying to estimate the costs for one conclusion we need to challenge that. >> good no idea any other thoughts or comments the meeting is adjourned at the 242. >> good

>> bonnie banks. bonnie banks. my definition of noise is

uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place. have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres,

experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up

and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires.

and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york,

i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine.

today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the

city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is.

>> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you

before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area

where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should

check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe.
