far there hadn't been enough 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

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 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 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

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

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,

contributions, fully insured, flex funded or self funded renewal. >> your contract. good afternoon, everyone. it's a pleasure to be here. i'm going to review with you the proposed rate action for 2015 for the kaiser permanente plan members. you have in front of you your packet under 2, >> rate -- restate your name for the record. >> hewitt. turn to executive summary on page 26789 on january 9th, we discussed the possibility of reviewing this in three different forms of fundings. fully insured, flex

funded and self funded. i got all of your information from kaiser and given the variance in cost from period to period our analysis and our interpretation of the data and what they are offering on a fully insured basis, we recommend not pursuing either funding alternative where the hss trust would take risk as they do under flex funded. that's our opinion. at this time, i'm going to review the fully insured options that kaiser has put together and are part of this analysis and review on your behalf to decide which one of these two options you prefer. okay the two options are: for 2015 as is with no benefit changes for the actives and early retirees because this is jointly pulled when it's rated. the active data indicates less of a decrease.

the early retiree data says i want even more. so when we blend that for 1 year the answer is 1.277 which is different than a plus. it's a minus. the next one is they have multiple year option and what they are offering is minus 2 and we'll review some of the caveats. minus 2 for 2015. so if the rates a hundred, it's going to be 98 and it will stay at 98. it's a 24-month break. i don't know if there is any questions. i want to review and i won't be labor this because we have kaiser who would like to address the board given the path last year, i think we are on much firmer ground now and they want to talk to you and we have only so much time to go

through materials. they presented data that runs from december 12th through november 2013. they always give you a comparison of the prior 12 months. so that would be the 12 months starting in 11 and going through november of 12. so if you go into your page 5 of this document i outlined for you all the different increases that we were demonstrated in their package for the period of time comparison. you can see inpatient cost is up and outpatient cost is up. the other cost or other medical is 2.3. in that which goes up according to this 14.8. at this point i want to make a correction to my document. we got this a week 1/2 ago. we

looked at this data and because of the fact that they have changed the 12 some of the ratios are bigger than they truly are. i don't think it's necessary except to say that this is not anywhere near as far apart because they went from a low rate to a $70 rate in 126789 . if you look at that period it's overlapping. not to complicate the discussion, but those numbers overlap. >> just to anticipate what i think to be a generic question if we have increase shoesz across the page but yet the quote is citing a decrease, i think we have to take into account other information that would probably be provided at a later point. is that correct? >> to clarify, the nature of the quoting and how it was

built one of the things and we'll just move along is that they have heard and they have positioned themselves as the champions of affordability in the marketplace. this is kaiser's approach. so generally they have had a book specific trend that's run approximately 7 percent. if you look at that and have to trend it forward and the materials i was provided they have cut their trend to 3.72 percent. so they are giving you a fully insured quote based on this data set and they have trended it, increased it 3.72 percent per year. i actually have and that's a book trend. that's kaiser's basic trend for this case and other cases of that size. it's a very low number. the argument has always been why do you apply across the board 7 percent
