8:00 am
assumptions the community is not involved we have technology that's been involved in over a decade that has the capability of cleaning without having floods and can move the sand so when you make the suments we can not only perimeter from an technology standpoint it degrades our community so this is why we have the strategy in place in the first place. when you say you reached you talked about the stakeholder analysis 3 hundred and 16 thousand reached on the social media how about in those zipped how are you reaching the people the oppose nor the social media how are those implicating the community where the sewage is
8:01 am
at. like dr. espanola jackson we need to be more involved because according do article 8 b-122 you're supposed to create opportunities for meaningful discussions for the programs that doesn't mean picking a couple of people who are going on along with what i want. that doesn't mean that the community can't provide input you'd be surprised what we can contribute. i don't want you to over look we - the agenda information i don't see anything about the revenue strategy it says the offset of the revenue what is the revenue strategy generated to cover the cost and why is there a deficit
8:02 am
we want to know the strategy for that facility. i mean, if there's too much to cover in a short term the whole reason for the mitigation is the wrongdoing that the city has done to the community and its community has been eliminate in the opportunity to participate from the technical all the way down to the outreach strategy it needs to change >> thank you for your input and we welcome our input. does that conclude your - >> yeah. i want to make a couple of statements. first of all, i want to make sure it's clear that we are not just we're looking for people to participate and informing on green infrastructure and if someone is an expert no matter where they were we want the best
8:03 am
theme we can do not only in the 92414 but all the infrastructure over the city. what's important as of the placement of the green infrastructure is important we'll focus on layers focus in the community. the other thing on outreach i'll recommend you kind of look at the groups we've stolen e spoken with to be educated we've done a lot of stuff and looking at one sheet you probability want to look at all the meetings and talk to espanol and francisco about the technologies i don't know how many years you've been to the meetings so the main point i want to be clear i'm committed in investing the resources that is needed to make a difference. i'm not gagging going to make
8:04 am
the decisions of what's needed that's the purpose is for them i can't listen to a thousand people saying a thousand different things we need people to come together that's why i'm investing in the community facility commission to help get all the information and inform us on what to do. the purpose is to give a background we are going to set meetings that's why i'm coming to june for our retreat and i'm going to ask you to help facilitate and work with the community to inform us of how we can make a difference in the community if you want clarification or talk about the outreach plan or who the stakeholders are we'll work through the commission and we
8:05 am
can work this stuff out. right now it's the baseline and i'm happy to work with anyone maybe the commissioner wants to say something >> thank you general manager. okay, please >> good afternoon commissioners. i'm eddy one of the commissioners. dr. jackson. i'm a new commissioner on the southeast commission and i appreciate the fact that under the general manager's leadership and his competent that they are reaching out to the commission and trying to establish some type of framework for us to focus on the mission statement that is set forth for the community. that's to a involve the community but unfortunately so far there hadn't been enough
8:06 am
effort to reach out to the community where the members are implicated and the most vulnerable population out in the southeast. we know that not only the amending italian in the southeast is implicated greatly but because of the demographic change in the last 10 years the asian pacific islander and the latino population 38 they needed need to have cultural strategy to focus on them so they too understand they're part of the community and get even though guidance regarding the greenhouses. we talk about the deficit one of the things about having spruce is to have the opportunity to use the funding for the scholarships for the youth and job training we never had a
8:07 am
surplus so when we don't have the surplus we're not having the resources and having to do with the leveraging adequate resources to focus on the outreach effort. so outreach from the puc and the city commission aspect how do we ask the puc to support that and be strategic. so far the outreach does meet the slogan our number two is our number one. the citizens don't have computers and don't have the resources i think commissioners torres said it best how do we commit to the promise so when we talk about servicing the
8:08 am
community and the families don't never, ever over promise and under deliver so with with that said, i want to say that community input is very valuable especially from the cultures and the resources and it's important and the vision and the commitment from the general manager and his staff to work with the community in the south east is equally important let's move forward had he make this happen >> great well, thank you for coming fourth and stating that. mr. crews >> members of the commission if i may there's been some condominiums knowing that notations take lives of their own i was dlaift that the community roach community is
8:09 am
different i didn't state in any way that the southeast community lacked background i'm sorry if anyone inferred it. >> thank you okay. now i'd like to know the date of the retreats. >> is it the 11th. >> and are we all invited. >> oh, if you want to come for sure. let's see it is >> it's not been set it was set before but the facilitator of the retreat had laryngitis so actually in tomorrow nights meeting we'll determine a set date. >> so then we'll know. >> and do come. >> thank you. do we have any other public
8:10 am
comment? okay. seeing none >> well, that concludes my report. >> thank you very much. so we move on to item 8. welcome >> good afternoon tina. i'm pleased to be here this afternoon i have 3 things to talk about first thank you for bringing up up the slides. as you've heard mr. risky talk about the water situation continues to be something we're watching very, very closely and your wholesales customers are watching that they'll put out a
8:11 am
10 percent water reduction within our wholesale customer service basis the agencies in santa clara county have been asked to reduce their supply by 20 percent and in addition alameda county water district fremont for newark have requested their owner water customers to reduce by 20 percent because of the water project on them. so they're taking this message and this issue very, very seriously. it's increasing their conservation savings and expanding their outreach to the community like our doing with pamphlets and other things we're constantly getting requests to speak about that and also launching a campaign we're
8:12 am
putting out with our agency we were able to take advantage of the state law campaign and modify it we think that the message is simple and pretty clear there's a drought and turn our water off it will really make a difference with the customers. i think this one is my favorite (laughter) i worry about i could have gotten any own dog >> what type of dog. >> i have an english span i can't tell. the second item relates exactly to the drought. yesterday was a phenomena be day in the service area for conservation. peter druk meier is not her but a strong property of what was the first silicon valley it was
8:13 am
to connect those who are responsible it with landscape managed for tools to look at how to sustain a landscape so there were vendors and property managers all in a series of events focused on the newest and greatest technology out there. it was a broad coalition of agencies. george gave the could he note address and with the focus again on the sustainable landscape studies there were things talked about and resources along with vendors trying to bring the latest and greatest technology for those who are in control of the water use it was successful.
8:14 am
intend of that submit p there was a water conservation award that is the fifth year we've done the silicon valley awards it highlights those water warriors those people's and entities and agencies that have made a difference in the water savings. the winners implicit are selected by a broad coalition of local vieflt and geogroups and businesses. so there were 8 award winners palo alto was one and i also want to call out kathy she won the lifetime achievement award the education coordinator and she's expand the outreach to
8:15 am
schools. it was impressive they talked about the value to get the message out about water conservation if the important situation we're in it was a great event i hope we can continue to build off of. lastly and this i think it very important given the notice of change you've put out in the water system improvement program the state oversight is going to exterior this january 1st, this will be the 89 accounting notice of change that requires you to go through the process i believe it's from the wholesale prospective is very, very helpful. i work closely with general manager kelly to craft language it san francisco could support and, in fact, senate bill 1435
8:16 am
was introduced into the water committee and that new oversight would go to january 1st, 2022, and at this point through mayor's office have sent support we'll continue to watch that closely but not anticipating any change. so with that, that concludes my report i'm available to a answer any questions you might have >> thank you questions? what is the 2022? that seems terribly far out >> the current is 2019 and because the suspect has to end on a january internal revenue service because of the
8:17 am
legislation it was important we capture the completion of the program and possibly any changes not having to go back and extend the oversight. >> i don't like that. >> the original proposal was longer and i think appropriately we had significant discussions with general manager kelly of shortening the date. the originate only requires san francisco if you completed the program so you complete it by july 19th to submit an annual report that was done so but the bigger issue is going back if, in fact, you have any kind of extension into two 21 and going back to the legislator we'll prefer not to do that
8:18 am
>> okay. what it is what it is but i do not like i want to put it on record saying i don't. >> just to reiterate we wanted to put it in alignment of what our lastly forecast but given the fact that that we still have a period of time where there is some risk still out there we were looking at maybe a contingency time talking about what that will be and coupled with the fact if we complete on time basically, we don't have to do other than a couple of reports two annual reports so baselines that that's a good
8:19 am
compromises moving forward and, of course, our goal is to finish by 2019 so the better given the drought scenario we can use the prior to the full capacity and, in fact, if there's a possibility of increasing cal versus we're looking at as well. >> fine i want the minutes to reflect my opinion. thank you very much >> thank you. okay moving along. cds item 9 will you please read the items >> item 9 a through b >> item 9 a through b of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commission's jurisdiction and are not on today's agenda at this time,
