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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 >> 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 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, members of the public may address the commission jurisdiction commission will be afforded when of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, address the commission up to three minutes. >> so if you can read item 9 a

memorial serve a purpose are that it is time to let san franciscans and the world know that long arrest the fires are put out the firefighters are fighting against cancer we're indicating is to ban toxic chemicals in first one and clothing. chemicals like deadly flammable retardant for children's clothing and known car gins that were band by governor jerry brown recently but perhaps that banned come too coon the chemical companies with fighting back we're asking for san franciscans they need to know firefighters have to fight for a paycheck and too often those
