>> thank you. dr. jackson did you want to speak again? >> yes. i wasn't going to speak until he brought up 1800 oak dale. i have been before you many of times about 1800 oak dale, the building, the community college and the programs that we have there and what has occurred in the past. the director knows that he has stated to us that he wants to go forward. well, you cannot go forward until you understand the situation about the college. and about what we started back in whenever, years ago. you know with the expansion of the plan. i am getting tired, very tired of coming here and repeating the same thing over and over again because some of your staff do not want to understand that

puc do not own the building at 1800 oak dale. that was gotten by mitigation. you have one 1 man sitting here that knows that who was a part of it when we began many years ago. that building belongs to the community, not puc. to the community because of their sewage plant. i had to correct, i didn't have to correct him but i had to add on to the director at the last meeting we had about 80 percent of the sewage coming from the city to bayview hunters point. but you know no one mentioned about all of the sewers that is coming from colima california and day city and we get the sewage from, before you left what was that area? presidio. in 1972,

look at your map. look at what san francisco looked like then and here all of this sewage is coming into bayview hunters point. it's coming there. it's not going no place else. this was built from the sewage to go 10 miles out into ocean. that has never occurred. the benefits that we were supposed to be getting in the community because of the expansion of the sewage plant. we haven't received anything. i came here and asked for a list and the organizations that your staff is working with because i work with groups and organizations and none of them were receiving any benefits, no funds. something is wrong. it needs to be corrected. i mean before ailing of this comes up. i'm tired, children. i'm really tired of what we are going through in bayview

hunters point. too many of our people are dying, still dying. i will talk about that in item 12 so you will take note of what everyone is saying on the toxic of the communicated -- community. they all super fund sites. thank you. >> any other comments. moving on to other commission business. seeing none, report of the general manager oovment the first is our water supply outlook. by the way, in that article that was passed around, i know steve, ritchie and i look alike. i think of steve ritchie in that article. >> she did say wider. i can

lean to today and ask which one of those. steve ritchie assistant general manager for water. this is the regular supply outlook for our system. i have got the slides up there that i hope we have copies there in front of you as well. basically our total reservoir is about 95,000 acre feet. we'll talk about that later that water bank is working for us. ours is a storage base system in fact i ran the numbers for my own interest that that amount of storage for drinki water at the demand of 209 that we are looking for is two 2 years of two 2 -- water. that is the

way the system is designed to be operated. in fact in the way we look at being abe to complete the lower cherry to operate is a whole other year worth of supply. we have two 2 years of supply. we would never operate that way. we have to make the supply last as long as it needs to. but it a good reference point to understand how much water we have. >> if i might just add to that, less we have become complacent. there is a reason for that, by nature of water rights, there are years where you can get absolutely zero entitlement and we have to live off the storage. as a protection against zeroes on the balance sheet we need that storage. >> we have been able to pull

25,000 acre feet on that entitlement. we'll get into very complex system, but we are in good shape at the moment but we have to extend that supply further. on precipitation for the year is about 76 percent than norm arch -- normal. we don't expect more. what it gets us basically deferring a potential reduction to 20 percent by at least a year if the drought persists and 20 percent reduction is a huge cut in the water available to the people. if we can defer going to that level is a very good important thing. our demand response has been variable for the first call for reduction. it does appear to be improving and i will get to that later on what the demand looks like. this is a chart of our storage levels from the reservoirs. i was up there over the weekend and

hetch hetchy may actually fill up to the end. it's at 98 percent xap capacity because water bank is a 58 percent capacity. we have drawn it up to meet the irrigation system to conserve that supply for the bay area. you can see the other reservoirs are 85-95 percent capacity. we are as full as we are going to get this year. again with no more precipitation, we expect these numbers to be brought down going into the fall. there is the cumulative precipitation charge, we expect to stay flat for the rest of the year to get the new water year between now and then and also on the snowpack, the snow is really effectively gone. we are getting to the end of run off

now into our reservoir. the snow is gone, reservoirs are full and riding out the summer and making sure we are managing until next winter. >> how does that compare to last year? >> last year? at least on the snowpack, last year, the red line is 2014, green line is 2013. last year we had more snow. 2007 is shown on there as well. there was plenty of snow there by comparison to this year. all of them below norm arch in fact if you look at the hide logic record, these last three 3 years whether 12, 13 and 14 is for supply purposes, this is the three driest years on record as a series since we have been keeping records in the system. we are hopeful that it won't be the kind of records for the fourth year. these are the

three driest years. this has been the challenging thing to work through. >> since when? when did we start keeping track? >> about 9 years. the 3 years were the driest 3 years. in fact one of our staff has been looking at three ring data and starting to look at what other kinds of drought conditions might persists. we are looking three 3 years head and if we have three more dry years, if they are pretty dry, that would be the driest year since the year 900. we are looking at potentially bad conditions but then it would rain next year. that's the joy of the water business. you don't know until it happens and you don't sleep at night and then you

man the boat. as far as the water supply is hetch hetchy is full and while the water banks are depleted. then we'll bang-up with a level of 150 aeshg -- acre thousand feet. we've be out of cherry reservoir. >> what's our capacity at cherry? >> 275 acre-acre by thousand feet. this is from the beginning of the year. the green line is this year. the blue lion -- line is last year and the red line is the five 5-year average. the dash line is what we are looking for in terms of production level. what that shows since the january 31st date which is about from the

left hand side where demand starts to drive down is what i really want to focus on the last two 2 points here, the last 2 weeks, the demand has dropped off substantially. we've dropped about 250 million gallons per day and now to the 235 range. in the last two 2 weeks demand has changed significantly. that's a good thing. we expect the next data point to come about wednesday from the prior week. we'll be looking at tomorrow. if it looks like it's going to continue that pattern which is a very good thing if it's doing that. we met with our wholesale can ustomers last week and went through in detail to make sure the folks are all very clear on what needs to be accomplished here and what they need to do it. the actions that eve we've

taken is requested a reduction through june. we continue to review the demands weekly and we'll be looking at those for this week and next wednesday we'll look at other weeks as well to see if there is additional action that seems appropriate or not. on may 7, we encourage the sales can ustomers to respect the recommends 5th proclamation. we have two communications campaigns getting ready to role out m june and july and in san francisco for newspaper and billboards and muni buses, cable tv on how to reduce for every individual and recently working with the staff on regional media to put together for their campaign an immediate purchase program to get to a lot of television

stations in the bay area. we have drought relief projects under way. i mentioned the aqueduct and emergency rehabilitation process to address the supply and the water treatment plant which is why the sant san antonio treatment plan and reliably treat that supply. the state water resources control board is very active now. they issue curtailment notices in the last 2 weeks. curtailment means you can't divert anymore water for use or storage. the curtailment report for previously hold water and talking about drafts in the next couple of days that we might consider next week. we are watching that closely to see what will happen because we are concerned about how

that might relate to the water rights. the waerd board -- water board staff is concerned that it does not affect wild life. the racker act and the fourth agreement take care of all the users. what they are talking about is the delta and that is something that we are looking at very closely as we go forward in this. there is water board is preparing to report to the governor on supply and actions to the water usage. they distributed a is survey for the management plan for 3,000 connections in greater water usage and retail and san francisco and a number of customers. they will have a workshop next tuesday where they have various panels to talk about urban water users are doing. there has been a lot of concern that they are going to be hit hard. hopefully that will be a

healthy discussion based often facts. >> what are the implications of that second bullet for us? >> the pre19 bullet? that's when they issue curtailment notices that they don't step the bounds of the pre14 rights. so that's what we are looking very closely as to will they be going beyond what they are legally capable of doing. >> so could they potentially legally say we need the water? >> i think that might be the question for an attorney to answer. i can give you my answer. >> i'm note -- not going to

search -- answer that. without giving an answer because there might be an issue legally with bringing it up. >> yes. there are legal issues at play here. one thing is we will defend our pre1914 water rights. if the board wants to do something they have to have a very strong record to do it. we haven't seen a lot of analysis in the workshop about this. >> it would be great to keep us posted on the analysis that will probably need to be done on our front or the state board offices. thank you. >> in summary, if there is no questions, the drought continues. we'll definitely continue the volunteer conservation through 2014. i don't see a stepping back from that. i will work with the wholesale customers to achieve the wide demand reduction.

the demand needs to be reduced further. given the last 2 weeks, the outlook is promising and we'll evaluate where we are the next 2 weeks. i'm available to answer any questions. >> questions? what is the chart you showed us, does that includes the wholesale customers? >> yeah. that totals everyone. >> what i hear you say too is that we don't have to cut back the water sales to any of our wholesale can ustomers at this time and it's up to them to allocate their waters the way they feel they should within their district. >> yes, by saying that we are asking for a 10 percent volunteer reduction. the benefit of that is that you don't have to go to 20 percent. it's a very important step to take. there is no

limitation but if the drought continues we will have to extend our supply and that will be much more painful for everybody. >> it's also a matter of credibility. it's important to say the reasonable is doing what it should be doing. 10 percent is not an egregious demand. if we are not able to do that, then it raises questions on how we are trying and how serious we are taking it. i think that is an important goal for us to make. >> thank you. >> the next update is our earthquake safety and emergency respond bond. as you know june that bond passed and michael will give you an update. >> michael, deputy general manager. i provided you a

fact sheet. this has been updated since the election and it explains all the different functions of the easter bond two as they call it. the earthquake safety and emergency respond fund. and the breakdown of the $400 million and what it's going to go for. the most important thing for us is the emergency fire fighting system is about $4 million. about five 5 years ago on the executive board of the mayor's office and since then you have been leading the reconstruction and rehabilitation of that system. now, that is what easter bond one and 2010 there was a hundred million for that. there is now a $150 million in a water supply system. it going to pipe network and tunnels and other things such as the tanks and revoir on

twin peaks and the heights and some pump station 1 and 2 that pump salt water into system when it's needed. the bond is very quiet. passed by 79 percent of the vote and it will be in place and will be spending that money coming to you and allocating it as part of the capital program. i will be glad to answer any questions. >> would we be able to do, you know climate is another disaster and some related to natural and some is related to climate. in the context of climate and the work that we are going to need to do in short of our infrastructure, can some of these monies be used toward that? >> for example, some of the pump stations are along the bay. if you are thinking about

a sandy incident we can protect against such and sea level rise. >> this bond money can be used? >> correct. >> i think one of the thing that maybe we should do an outline or a presentation on the way we address climate change. we actually incorporated in our 10 -year capital plan where we look at each project we have a map that shows what the result of a surgeon -- surge over a period of time. we've done the science and we have a map of what it will look like if no measures have taken place and we've been looking at our facilities around there and when we design we take that information under consideration. so, we may want to do, because on the sewer system improvement program,

we are being informed and doing a lot of science behind of what that may look like. we can do a presentation on how we are addressing that. that would be great and this is an additional opportunity for money for earthquake that might be slightly different where we are also preparing for water reliability and in the event of a water break on water intrusion of water. >> the whole purpose is an emergency response fund to respond to an emergency. >> great. any other comments? thank you very much. >> now i'm going to turn to public comments. mr. decosta?

>> i have a number of points to make. when we have the presentation of the workshop, the constituents especially those at home need to get a good idea about the richter act. you know when hetch hetchy to be dammed, that's why it was dejected. today we take it for granted that we get this water that for thousands of years was pristine and preserved by the first t people and we don't pay attention to the richter act when it comes to the large companies that use millions and millions of gallons of water for cooling and swimming pools and so on. as part of

this presentation, we should discuss if this so-called water that is used gray water can be recycled. why is it that we don't really mandate instead of saying go slow and try to do this or that where walden -- when here in san francisco everybody conserves water. i think boss wa can help with that. we do have some people that know a lot about our systems and i'm talking about the systems that we have all over san francisco. we have people that are very

well versed with these things. and the other and when they present, a lot will be surprised, perplexed, astounded as to houlths -- how little we know when it comes to earthquakes and fires. we have people in general that make statements, but we need the people who really know who can explain to us our well our city engineers in the past after the 1906 fires put in place mechanisms that is has the city in good stand when we had that fire at mission bay. thank you very

much. >> now nicole. >> good afternoon commissioners. nicole. i did want to speak on the water supply to underscore the stages that mr. -- told you. first 100 percent from my board, my agencies. there are can an customers that call for 10 percent. it's not a matter they take lightly. it's in incredibly important that they achieve this and they take the actions that you are taking as well. those are some of the things you are seeing going on in the area. i have indicated to mr. ritchie in their water restrictions. ordinances in place to

address weight use for their can an you -- customers to achieve this important water use reduction. my agency has called in addition to reduction because you are just one of their spliechlt for -- supply. you serve 8 in santa clara county. and they are in 20 percent water reduction request. many of those in santa clara county are asking for 15-20 percent water reduction fwr from their can ustomers and they are asking for greater achievement. this is a very serious matter and i just wanted to reaffirm our support for that. mr. ritchie and i have been meeting to

review what's been going on. i tell him to make the right choice and we need to ensure that we have the sufficient supply neck -- next year so we have the best available data for the best choice. i'm available for any comments or questions. >> any comments or questions? thank you very much. any other public comments. seeing norngs let's move to item 8. >> item 8 is consent calendar is considered to be routine and acted upon by a n single vote of the commission and it will not be discussed and removed if you have any questions. item a prove the

selection of and award agreement no. cs 39 ga and cs 39 gb. >> is there any request to discuss the items? >> remove the items? >> can i have a vote? >> so moved. >> all in favor say, "aye".? >> aye. >> opposed? motion carries. item 9. item 9 approve the selection of communication services and award griement san joaquin valley

communication system upgrade for 6990, $959. >> this item is before you for the hetch hetchy system. we are putting in place to provide the controls on the system itself and also provide additional communications for our emergency planning of our electrical communications. what it is that we got only one. we predicted four because of the conditions of the deals with the city contacting system regarding one good bid and that's the item before you. >> so
