can't think of anything, for these young people, a better thing to do and the key thing is to do it again and again and again and again. so we are going to work on that. >> okay. >> and just real quick, the or another thing that the kids came up with, after experiencing that they all have jobs this summer, they decided to pitch in and put a kid through high school. i would be remiss in our other partner in the back there being all quiet, sullivan and the current captain in the bay view and we were both on our, and saying our, come on, jj please come back with 7 kids. anxious moments for the bay view station, but we never had to doubt, rod? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so any way, but rob, thank you for, you know, getting them across the finish line, too. >> commissioner loftus?

>> yeah. jj. officer johnson, chief, captain sullivan, you know, this is just such a lesson to me and i feel like in the time that i have known you on the commission, i have learned a lot and one of those things is that you have this bold idea where there is a million different points that you could just say that this is not going to work and whenever you are trying to do anything in the world and what i am just amazed by is that the level of difficulty in pulling this off. and you know, i sometimes i have to take the kids up to sacramento to testify before the assembly and i am panicked to have them in the car for 90 minutes and i am a mother of three. and so taking the leap, and bringing people into it and making them a part of this and then having just the kurage, and it is what you stand for, you stand for the future for these kids and they know that and you are a powerful stand for them and it is such a point of pride for this department, i can't, i can't tell you how proud i am to serve on this commission, and i can't tell you how proud i am of this city that you are an officer here and frankly, the fact that the

command staff and the captain and the chief are behind this is exactly what dr. marshall said, it is just, we spend a lot of time talking about what does not work about the police, but this is one of the most powerful examples of what does work and you guys care about and stake your life, and in a lot of sleepless nights on behalf of the command staff sfo these kids and so you have my congratulations any way that i can help. >> i have a feeling that julia is going to invite me to a fund-raiser. >> behind you, thank you. >> and thank you for sharing your experience. >> thank you. and jj i want to tell you the impact, that this had on 7 students and i know that they were on dr. marshall's show on street soldiers, are they going to return this when they return back to school, i noticed where you went to school and i saw the track uniform that you are wearing, are you going to share that with the fellow students? >> yeah, i did. i primarily shared it with my history class and just kind of my teacher was really interested because that is what we were learning about at the

time and to hear it first hand because we are learning about the atlantic slave trade and i was able to give the brutal truth and for me that was orewarding because i know that a lot of kids are sheltered and don't understand and i can't say that i have understood because i have been reading the same textbooks my entire life and not fully understanding how strong and how proud i should be to be of african decent. and so to actually go to my class and share with all of my, you know, peers exactly what has happened in the unspoken truth, was just more rewarding than anything. >> i have to say that i am working on, i got a pretty good relationship with the school district, and at this point, pretty good. and really good, so i am working on it with the officers now, on getting into schools, and to talk to the young people. and as early as september. and when they get back in. and so, are you, where are you

currently and what school are you currently in? >> at saint ignatious. >> oh, you are at si? >> yes. >> go cats. >> so, we will work on getting, you know, maybe a little bit of release time, so that you can come and talk, because we have got to get this, back and get you in front of the young people right away when the school starts, so we will work on that too. >> thank you. >> we are working on that, a video too as well. to show the family and friends. what took place and how they were impacted and the video is almost complete, and in early august, we are looking at a showing and so i will be sure to get all of you guys the location so that you can come out. >> and will do. >> we will be there. >> thank you, jj, i am very

proud of you. >> iesha great job. >> call line item 2 b. >> occ director's report. discussion, and review of recent activities. >> director hicks? >> good evening, president mazzucco. and commissioner, and chief suhr and members of the audience, on sunday in the parade and marching in mayor lee's, and i have no recent activity to report this evening, but next week i will present the june comprehensive statistical reports and related reports. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> call line item number 2 c, which is commission reports commission president's reports, and commissioner's reports. and i have nothing to report. and for this week, commissioners do you have anything that you would like to

report? >> commissioner loftus? >> susie. >> that is okay. >> on behalf of my fellow commissioner turman, we proudly participated with the pride alliance of sfpd in the pride parade. and it was like the chief said i think not only the largest pride that i have been in, but so full of great energy, and joy, and the police officers i noticed that there was a lot of photographs of them and all of the joy that they were exhibiting and i want to thank the pride alliance for including us and i think that julia also has a sash, and so i am glad to see that special treatment for the vice president and it was a beautiful day to be in san francisco and i was able to have two of my kids with me and some friends and it was a wonderful celebration and i think that the department as usual did a great job of maybing sure that every community recognizes that this

department sees them in the city and represents them and represented by the community, it is a beautiful day. anything that i missed vice president >> i should add for those who watched on tv it was great to see the commentator was inspector from the police department and it was proud to see that the police department was at the forefront of this. >> she did a great job by the way. >> i have to tell you if you are giving shouts out, nobody passed up chuck lynberg of the southern station, had the crowds and tens and tens of thousands of people whipped into such of a lather that it was unbelievable and it was getting one side of the street to go against the other side of the street. and he had this truck with a sound system and it was, i mean that we were absolutely a item in the parade, we are not just participants, it was fun. >> great. >> thank you, everybody. >> line two d.

>> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. next week, we are dark, that is july 9th. and also, the week after is the third wednesday, and we are dark also and then the next meeting will be the 23rd, and in the mission district at james link middle school which is 1220 noah street and that is 6:00 p.m. on the 23rd. >> the reason that we are going dark is that we will be complete without the commission staff and the chief will be getting some training, and the well needed training and the f.b.i. academy and train them and any commissioners that are on vacation at that time of year and so i apologize to everybody, but it is july and things are going to slow down a bit. >> commissioner loftus? >> i just have one request, we do have a quarterly statistics from the about the bicycle pedestrian safety resolution

that we did. so, i want to give us enough time to have some time to look at that data with the folks and then present it. so i don't know if there is a date that works in august. and inspector monroe that works with the calendar? >> the 6th or the 13th? and when the district on the 27th? >> and so the 6, 13, or 27. >> okay, if this or my colleagues are okay, if we could hold the 13th, so that we can make sure that there is enough time, to bring that quarterly report focus. >> and i will be meeting with the attorney office regarding the first amendment of the police officers and put that together and that should be happening next week. >> okay. >> it is now time for public comment on-line items 2 a, b, c, or d. >> any public comment regarding that incredible report by

officer jefferson? hearing none, public comment is closed. call line item number three. >> adjournment. >> in the complain that i filed i have yet to get papers over what happened over the period of a year and a half and as my federal case moves forward on the police incident i requested documentation on that report from the occ. and in the past, there has been a habit between the sfmta and not the police commission, by the way but they have lost several of my requests, and almost nonstop and so i am giving this commission, seven copies of my request as well as the copy of the letter to gregory under wood who was the

investigator. i thank you for your time on that issue. >> thank you, neal. >> all right, please call line item three. >> line item three, adjournment. >> do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> second. >> or aye. >> or both. >> all of the above. thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. good night. >> good afternoon ladies and

interesting in speaking under public comment, fill out a comment card. >> and good afternoon good to see you again. >> i am ann clark from san francisco, and i want to let you know that it is hot up at maser and it was getting close to 100 degrees and i think that i am going to stay in san francisco. also, don't forget it is 5,000 feet up there and so it gets hotter i think sometimes as you go higher, rather than cooler. mostly i wanted to share with you that we have published a book for one of our very favorite people who has written it, niel who has been going to the camp for a long, long time. and so i have extra copies in case you have not gotten yours yet and i will give them to harlin so you will be able to take a look at his wonderful life and his life experiences and as always, i look forward to seeing you at the camp thank you. >> thank you very much for being here, i appreciate that. >> are there any other public comments to be had on this line

item, item number four, seeing none, public comment is now closed, madam secretary, next item? >> item five, communications. >> commissioners? >> seeing no comments, from my colleagues, is there any public comment on item 5, communications? seeing none, public comment is closed on that item. next item, secretary? >> item 6, other commission business? >> commissioner moran and torres? >> there is an item that i would like to discuss briefly not long ago, several months ago i raised an issue related to opportunities in the south east sector related to intratoe hortoculture and maintenance and construction-type of jobs, opportunities. and specifically mcclarin park and other areas located near that and i think that it is appropriate for us to have that dialogue and i requested it under other commission business, several months ago.

given the relationship that this very cozy relationship, and cozy in a good way that this commission has with the recreation and parts commission, certainly the announcement recently from the professional golf the pga in addition to an article in the newspaper today, dealing specifically with the golf course located in the south east sector, the problems that it has with respect to ongoing maintenance, and capitol improvements and water and i would like to begin to have thoughtful deliberative conversations about how we can best work together, with the recreation and parks department, dealing specifically with those areas, we do a pretty good job and we did open, and reopen the boat house today. that is the land of the puc, being over seen by the recreation and parks department and management and staff and which in the interest of full disclosure we represent at local, 261, we see a lot in the

gun club that is in the news, and the park is in the news, but i think that we really have to be careful about not losing sight of the fact that some of these resources in the south east, often times kind of get overlooked and iment to make sure that on our watch, that does not continue to happen and so that is it for that and i would like to see agenda item coming up from the staff if there is no objection. >> commissioners? >> seeing none, madam secretary, next item? >> please, report of the general manager. >> update on our water supply and have steve richie come up. >> if i could have the slides, please, again, this is the

meeting update on the water supply as we are in the continuing drought here. and first off, again, the water storage is starting to drop a little bit now as we get into the dry part of the year we don't anticipate much precipitation, but again we have 487,000 acre feet of drinking water in storage and so again, the water bed is working and we need to achieve a reduction to avoid going to 20 percent next year and the response is good for the last six weeks. and our storage levels, again, hetch hetch y is at 97 percent and the water bank is down at 34 and a half percent and again the systems need to be continued to be managed. precipitation, i have to say that i was there last week and there is a little bump in the water line and we got two tenth of an inch while i was up there and made the ground wet and

puddled a little bill and no run off from it and there was anticipation from the additional precipitation this week and still, back, again and gone is the drop these five presentations because, they are not going to change very much. and this is a slightly modified version of a slide that i showed the last meeting about what the water bank is at 200,000 acre feet which is comparable to the levels in the last drought 87 to 92 and so we are in a dry period, this is the driest three year period that we have seen in our history. the reservoir is close to full and we are starting up to storage level of 150,000 acre feet of january first. and the delivery slide, again, shows that the deliveries have it has flat lined for the last

six weeks and hopefully we can continue those efforts of working closely with the wholesale customers to be sure that everybody is working hard, and we are seeing that turn off in terms of water use reduction and here is our, fill in a lot of savings and hopefully we see the glass come up quite a bit by the other day. and so, the items and i want to get into a little bit this time and a little bit more detail and we have the request for the ten percent reduction and you really have a major out reach campaign as we discussed last meeting and we have two drought reductions under way and i will talk about those in more dethail than we have so far, that is the aquiduct project and the small treatment plant and emergency improvements. first, this is a map of the country system with the three reservoirs and the cherry, and the take the water from the

resources, and the lower aqua duct is from cherry creek below and brings it to the intake, where it can be put into the drinking water system, and it is actually down in the 87 to 82 drought. so our project is an effort that costs $18 million combined and phase one will be to repair the deversion plate, and clean out the tunnels and sometimes, starting this fall. phase two is to make repairs and replace the old lines, and we have much, on the quality of the water that will be coming through there. and that will be planned to begin some construction next spring, and be ready to go in july of next year.

you can see the rock debris and over for the last 25 years. and so, they will be cleaning those out, and again, it is more debris in the open channel section there. and again, this open channel section, where there is corrugated metal that has fallen in and you can just clean those out and that is what we will be doing as far as the first project that we have under way. on the coast range, emergency drought and improvements and we are working at tesla and thomas shaft, and one of the tunnel and the pump station and the

single treatment plant. and for these, are redundancy up grades to the pumps and the controls and the electric power service and at the treatment plant, chemical feedback replacement and the process up grades, and the up grades between the different facilities and these are all part of the cap and improvement and we are already bringing the problems sooner to be done that we can widely filter the water if we need to and in the shaft, it is a simple project that is a really important one and we are replacing the sample pump and out the methane gas and we have to have the special protection in place to make sure that we don't have sparks that could fill off an explosion there. and on the regulatory front, they this issued notices to the certain water rights holders and they were going to look at emergency regulations and did

adopt the emergency regulations on the second. and those started out as a real threat. i think that we ended up in good shape in all of that process. and then, on june 27th, the state water board, had a workshop on urban water usage and they will be released the draft regulations probably tomorrow, regarding urban water use conservation in particular, and there is a conference call and the water board staff to talk about those and we will be expected to be similar to the april 26th recommendations made by the governor and proclamation to return the water and when the vehicle is washing and the outdoor water, and this is apparently, would

be the residential california and it is not clear if it is limited just to residential or extend to parks and recreation departments and schools and we are trying to get clarity on that so that we know what that is actually being proposed. and so in summary, we are still in a drought and going with ten percent voluntary conservation through the end of the calendar year and if we don't do that, we will be in worse shape because we are on track with the efforts and the lower channels. and i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, commissioners? >> i would like to acknowledge the passing of iron ruskin, after a long bought of cancer, he served as a first lofca

chair. and he represents 1.7 million of our customers and regional system. and we will be forever, grateful for his role to make the necessary repairs on our hetch hetchy to secure a reliable water source and i just wanted to just maybe, bosco would like to get up and say a few words. >> nicole? >> good afternoon. and yes, we are sadden by the passing of ruscin our first board chair and also at that time he was mayor of the city. and also representing the city and area and he was instrumental in securing the support of local legislative and elected officials in your

wholesale service area to really focus on the reliability and system in that, in doing so, from a human catastrophe perspective and that was really his true gift for the service area and so he did struggle with an illness for a long time and we are sorry about his passing and i appreciate the comments of general manager kelley. >> commissioner torres? >> i had a very close personal relationship with him over the years. and i admired his integrity and in the legislative process. and but also, his battle against cancer and he hurt and he managed to maintain his statue and his character and his being and his up lifting,self and even through the very, very difficult times and california will miss this type of legislator, and we will miss his input into the process

of making california. >> thank you, nicole. >> thank you. >> that concludes my report. >> okay, thank you, general manager kelley, are there any comments on the general manager's report? i don't have any speaker cards,? once, twice, three times, closed madam secretary, next item please? >> consent candor, and items 8 athrough 8 e, constitute a candor considered to be retained by the san francisco pub utilities commission and will be acted upon by a single vote of the commission and there will be no separate discussion of these items unless the member of the commission or the public so requests in which the matter will be removed from the calendar and considered a separate item. >> are there any requests to remove an item? seeing none, commissioners what is your pleasure? >> i will move it. >> so moved. >> second.
