acula. good afternoon, nicole. >> good afternoon, president courtney, commissioners. i did want to come and speak on the water supply in particular i had the pleasure and i think the honor, i appreciated participating in the press event yesterday. more than ever, we're working quite closely with your staff and your general manager and focusing on the message to get the water reduced reductions. we got off to a bit of a rocky start, it was difficult with the rain that continued off and on. but we have seen a significant change in the last couple of weeks and in fact as we look at the data now, we're on track with an idea of getting an average annual water saving reduction. what that mean and you had a lot of conversation about landscaping is outdoor water

use and the summer is our biggest area to achieve those savings and specifically we looked to the urban areas. everyone is aware of that and we're pushing strongly the idea that you don't need to keep your grass green. it can be slightly brown. you can watch it enough to keep it alive. we do not need to kill things and this is not a mandatory reduction. our water use has reduced by 19% on a per capital basis in the last ten years. there's not that great amount of savings that can happen inside. you have to achieve these savings, hit the outdoor water use. we're pushing that strongly. many of our cities have adopted ordinances are the ones you're talking about in which they've asked their parks and rec department to reduce their water use, certain parks are not being irrigated, other ones depending upon the activity level at the parks and they're being irrigated

less and the recycled water makes that go farther for those areas which is a great benefit of recycled water, but it's a big focus. in fact, one of the areas that we're pushing is our lawn be gone rebate program which is a turf replacement program that we offer through our office starting july 1st. the rebate amount will increase by 25% for most of the agencies and the maximum rebate has been removed. so there used to be a cap on the rebate, it has been removed to encourage people to get rid of their front lawn and replace it with a drought tolerant landscape that's beautiful, but also water efficient. so i would encourage everyone to look at that. >> nicole you were great yesterday. i thought the mountain view story kind of peaked my interest too. >> my pleasure.

>> okay. ej booker. good afternoon, brother. how are you? >> i'm well, how are you? >> i come baring gifts for the commissioners. >> that's always good to start. >> these are pamphlets from the last summer's program. but for that don't know me, i'm ej and i'm the director in the bay view. and boy, can i say how time flies. i can't believe that i'm standing here before you and this is the third summer with the sewer improvement program. it's known as ssip to the kids, but thank you to the commissioner and the executive team at the puc for showing what a public private partnership looks like. it looks like those students you saw earlier. we've doubled the amount of private sector partners which includes those at akon and brad and caldwell, black

and beach, mwh and urs. we're just excited and ecstatic to kickoff this third year. i won't take too much of your team. i want you to hear from those job shadowing. i want them to talk to you about their experience and what they've been learning. thank you for y cd and the folks in district 10. >> thank you. >> hello. >> hello. i'm a current summer intern and i'm here to announce that city works has launched its third year. we're apart of the mayor's summer youth initiative and the sspuc communities program. the program includes a diverse group of youth who are from the southeast interested this careers ranging from engineering, urban planning and communications and other related fields. of the 21

students, 11 are returning. >> nice. >> hi. >> hi, i'm clemon and i'm an intern. those are able to intern -- and so i want to take the time to thank the supervisors who stepped up and has been mentored us all. i want to invite you to our project which will be held at the southeast community facility commission on august 13th 2014 at 6:00 p.m. thank you. >> thanks very much for being here. [applause] >> ej, thanks for coming in here, brother. the next card i have is from francisco. thank you

francisco. >> commissioners when mr. ritchie talks about water, we have to agree with him because water is trying to tell us is how water is preserved in some of our [inaudible] areas and how it's delivered. we need to look at it also from the point of view of the data which i have mentioned here many times. for example, if you have a thousand, two hundred miles of clean water in our city, we need real time knowledge of the leakage. real time. why? because we need to know

that if our pipes are 85 years old and leaking, how many of them have been replaced? and over the years, say five years, ten years, how many billions of gallons of water have been wasted. why is this? the water that we have from [inaudible] which are the constituents of san francisco have to know, belong to the first people. and for thousands of years, they preserved it. so 300 years ago when the council made to come to california and do this and that and the other thing, we found that here in san francisco we had no water. so that's why i gave you commissioners that chronological data of some of the things that happened. the water was expensive, so because we

had very powerful congress people, they went to washington dc and they managed to damn and get hatachi so our young people shouldn't floss over trivial things, but they should be able to go down to the source, gather empirical data and evaluate it to educate everybody. on the improvement project, i attended one meeting where they were discussing about greening project and i did participate in initiating such projects when i worked at the [inaudible] of san francisco. so from time to time, we need to find out and hear from the small businesspeople who attend these meetings, how many meaningful

those discussions are. those workshops are. thank you very much. >> thank you francisco very much for being here. are there any other public comments on this item. seeing none, public comment is closed. madam secretary, next item. city clerk: item 8 is a citizen's advisory committee report. >> hi, wendy. >> how are you? >> thank you. >> donna i have a copy for you. we found a small typo. so this last year has been a transition. in the past 12 months, we've had ten new people come on representing neighborhood and disciplines through how the city including filling our long vacant district 10 chair which is now filled by goodwin and we're excited to have her a board and it adds knew vibrant to the city.

we have a representation of people of color, lgbt community and we're at 50% women on this committee now. we stream lined -- sorry. this is too high. we streamed line our meetings for our sub-committee so they would be on tuesday, which works out better with every schedule and that's cac day. we have our newly elected leadership which was elected, myself as chair, tar as the vice chair and jennifer clairy who is a long member and secretary. we have made sure to orientate and train our new members with enterprise one on one with their individual enterprises that they're interested in and the 522 golden gate tour, the head tour that has been going and also the [inaudible] tour of our different facilities. we have also had

trainings on on social media, how to better engage your community, strengthen your relationship to your appointing officer and we'll be talk beginning the brown act and sunshine ordinance. that will be our next training next month. commissioner sandkulla came. we want to work with you and develop that relationship. >> commissioner vietor. >> i want to echo when she just shared with us. i did attend the meeting on tuesday and i was impressed with the members and i would encourage my fellow commissioners to attend one of the cac meetings and it gave me hope. as you

study all of these issues, i want to appreciate your welcoming from last week. >> we also passed one resolution on mobile technology to develop a better use of mobile technology to regulate water use. since everybody is on smartphones these days. that was submitted in district 5. so when we get this, you'll have that resolution in front of you. >> any other questions. >> thank you very much wendy for being here. keep up the good work. any public comments on this item. dr. jackson, item number 8. thank you doctor. >> you're more than welcome. commissioners, what i decided i would do is give you history about the cac because most people don't know when the cac began. it began

out of the water department in bay hunter's point and the committee members was like who are passed and gone away, mrs. arlington, mr. madison and there were others, and the meetings was being held there on 5th street at the office there. and the community was involved at that time and the purpose for the cac when it was set up to make sure that the water department and dwp would do what they said they were promising the community they would do. the main thing was the cross town tunnel. i know most of you all never heard or known about the cross town tunnel. but what happened is that after the out fall was built, then the money was gone. this are was no cross bound tunnel because the people

in the sunsets, there's no way they wanted tunnelling going in their area over to the zoo because the out fall was built ten miles out into the ocean. that's where everything was suppose to go to. so, i came before you before this body not long ago and stated because alex landsberg came to me and asked me whether or not they can start back the cac and i said sure because no one from bay view hunter's point was involved, but i was involved. because everybody had died off and gone in other direction. so what i would like to see happen with this cac now is to start holding meetings back where the sewer plant is and they were meeting on market street. it's hard to get to market street from bay hunter's

point. just consider the fact that we would like to have and i know i would like to have input with the cac, and about the concerns that we have dealing with that storage plant and then environmental issues that is going on and that has been going on for a long time in the southeast sector. so i just want -- i met the young lady and she invited me and we're going to get along just fine. >> thank you doctor. thank you for being here. any other public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam secretary, next item. city clerk: item 9 is the response on the proposed march 14 revised [inaudible]. >> good afternoon, commissioners. dan wade, and i'm pleased to report today on a response to

the comments and recommendations, that basca gave us in the letter dated 2014 regarding the march 2014 revised water system improvement program. now just very quickly refresher on the revised march 2014 water system improvement program, compared to the march 2013 revised program is that the program was approved on april 22nd of this year, it includes a cost increase of $120 million and one month scheduled delay to may 2019. both of these overall changes are largely driven by the different conditions for the replacement project. as you know, as the end of -- so in review of the changes made in the march 2014 revised, basca

presented mindings and recommendations regarding the budget, and schedule of the project. my goal today is to give you an overview of the response to these commons and actions that were taken to address these comments. so bosca divided their fundings and recommendations into three categories. the first set are based on budget and the second based on schedule and the third set based on scope of the projects. so in their first set of findings related to budget, bosca asked themselves the question, what is the impact for the revisions on the individual budget project. and i'm paraphrasing the direct quote for saving space on the slide. and to answer that question that they ask themselves, they pointed out the sfpuc is deferring

projects in the 10-year capital improvement fund program and that's true, it avoids the water rate as you know. they also mentioned and that including risks at the 65% confidence level which is lower than the previous contingent see. they believe the projects that are being laid will be timed appropriate for the goals established. the wsip will address this. regarding the second finding, provided a memo on the risk methodology to the commission. in short, spuc believes it's appropriate given the balance of risk at this

point in the program and i'll be happy to answer any questions regarding that memo. following on this from finding, the budget recommendations were to discuss in a report to the state under assembly bill 223, the impact on changes of public safety including changes in the ten year sip. that's one recommendation. the second recommendation was to prevent a staff transition plan and report performance against the plan. so in response, the puc has addressed the public health and safety question, by virtue of addressing level of service goals in the notice of change report from last friday. the report

is posted online. the water enterprise will write a separate bill to address the impacts of health and safety due to delays in non wsip project. this will be provided by the end of june. we have the staff transition plan. now, with respect to the health and safety impacts of the march 16 wsip verses the -- this is related to service. wsip has four levels of service, delivery reliability and in this regard, there is a small increase risk due to the stand replacement budget or the cd rc delay in the event of an unplanned outage. the project in this revised program has a nine month delay. if there was a delay in those nine months, there would

be an increased risk of delivery reliability to the customer. however, the risk is small compared to the overall risk of the program compared to where we were even just several years ago. in terms of seismic reliability, they'll be a small size increase due to the delay and the ground order of recovery budget. we have a 24 month delay on that project. this is for conjunctive use project and it's on the peninsula and we'll have a place to pump water in the event of an emergency or extended period. and that would make over 7 million gallons per day of water available when that project is complete. as a result of that project delay, there's a small increase risk or seismic reliability in case of a disruption elsewhere in the system. in terms of the water

quality impact, there is none because there were no delays to the water quality project. and in terms of water supply, the rationing would be required due to delays because of the replacement project. nine months for calavis and 20 months for the ground water project. to illustrate the small increase in risk is seismic delivery reliability, we've modeled the reliability. it's a model that does 5,000 alterations of different scenarios and what you can see in this chart are on the left, delivery reliability in terms of million gallons per day and on the bottom, you have the years, so starting back in 2005 at the far left,

you have the seismic reliability in terms of a million gallons per day and as we go through the wsip, that reliability increases and the yellow is our goal at 265 million gallons per day. the blue bars represent the wsip as established in 2005 and at that time the plan was by 2013 we would have realized the entire goal with respect to seismic reliability. however, we have had delayed and previous delays have essentially delayed that realization of that seismic reliability goal by a couple of years so the green bars represents the status in 2013 and the purple is the 2013 revised wsip. there's a difference between the seismic

reliability goal in the current year if you compare 2005 to 2014. but the difference between 2013 and 2014 is slightly different. now in terms of the staff transition plan, i wrote a plan that has been included in your pocket and it includes about a dozen charts and i just want to show the overall chart. this is for the overall regional program. and as you can see on the chart, the wsip staff will be ramping down to a steep rate until the middle of 2016 at which point it will flatten out in 2016 and 2018 when a few projects remain. now, the green line is the total staffing in the wsip

and we have 300 employees working on wsip. and then the red are consultants and the blue are city staff. so you can see that we'll be ramming down at a fast rate and we'll be flattening out towards the end. most of the steep portion of the curve is really due to consultants rapidly being demobilized over the next couple of years. we'll have some ramping down with city staff as well, but that's at a lower rate. we plan for those folks to go to other the program, and the hechi improve program and some of those folks will be finding roles in other city departments. we recommend to continue to monitor that closely and track our plan and report in the quarterly report.

now, they asked them self a question, is there an increase risk for a scheduled pension. two projects -- in answer to that, two project pensions are for projects critical meaning wsip water supply level goals and these delays expend the time and which customers are exposed to dry sources. that's true. i mentioned the ground water supply and recovery project delays. following, the recommendations with respect to schedule is to develop -- it's to make sure the water system can meet the level service goal and to provide a status report to the commission by september. so in response to this, the

sspuc makes it our priority and we're investigating other options. in particular, we're current evaluating projects with oakdale and we'll continue to evaluate projects based on the need. with respect to scope, bawsca asked them self, what is the scope on service goals. in an answer to that, they pointed out the recapture program has made changes. bawsca does remain concerned about the yield for their project. in response, we would say these are minor changes. it's pumped that's being refined that will help increase operations and we

believe we can recapture up to 82/75 acre feet per year while capturing 94 acre feet per year. we do acknowledge there's uncertainty with the permit condition replaced on the project. so following on with respect to the recommendations on scope, they're asking for us to include regular updates from the commission on this project which we'll do and present a -- present analysis so we'll continue to do that. and put some focus on this project going forward. finally they recommended we include in the assembly bill - provide updates in future

quarterly reports, and we've done that and in this chart illustrates how we've done this. we have the actual forecast substantial dates listed and the various level of service goals whether they're primarily or secondary on this project and on the far right, you'll see we've indicated if they've met the goals. so with that, i would be happy to answer any questions. >> vice president caen. >> i'm per flex how we're at the year 2018 because it has been an

expression of one more year and now we should be finishing up, originally planned next year, correct. >> actually 2016. the end of 2016, yes. >> right now we're five years out of completion, and i'm just worried about how much more that will escalate. i understand the problems involved, but i am concerned. >> yeah, and let me say this, we remain 100% committed to meeting the level of service goal and completing these project and as timely and factiously as we can and we're working hard to do so, but unfortunately we've had different cite conditions on the replacement project that have delayed that project in particular but two years and nine months. and then the recapture project
