11:00 pm
where there are opportunities to bring in the water supply to meet the needs of your customers who you don't want to meet at this time, that is where the pro-projects are going. demands projection project, this was initiated spring of 2013 as part of our long term planning work. and we recognized that our demand projections were old, and to be honest we are requesting how effective and accurate they were for the future picture. and also updating the demand projections and conservation projection to 2040 and now the next step this just gives the total the bapd and the next step is the crilt cal component and how do they plan to meet that have demand and many of your wholesale customers super supplies and bought the water and have ground water and recycled water. and so that is a critical piece of the component that i can
11:01 pm
competitive back in a month and tell you how much you are purchasing from you in the future and so we will be using those ruments and i assume that your staff will be using those results as well. >> so what is the study show us? to do the demand projections you start with what is the projected employment, and what is the projected population and the service area and so this graph right now shows the historic population and employee and in your wholesale services and 75 million people. the population is projected to grow to 2.2 million people in 2040, that represented to 27 percent population increase and a 31 percent employment increase based on the department of finance members for the region. >> so, then you take that and we determine what that means
11:02 pm
for water demands and, so this graph shows on the left, in the solid line, this historical total water demand, of the wholesale customers starts back in 1986. so before the last multiple year drought, and you see the dips in the valleys from the droughts in the different recessions. and the projected and the dotted line is the initial projection, that is the projection before any conservation and so it is kind of your base scenario. and we layer on top of that, how many savings do you get, from existing law in like the state wide plumbing codes that require the fixtures and the agencies have sufficient landscaping aoe sishcies and in door ordinances and those will all generate the specialists that will occur without anyone doing anything more that is an important component and we call it passive conservation. and then we will lay on the next step which is active
11:03 pm
conservation. what do we think and each of the agencies went through this piece by piece, what programs and what savings would they implement and the get and the customers between now and 2040 and that gets us to a total demand of 268 mgd in 2040. that adds up to 36 mgd in 2040. so the reason that we did this was i had real questions about the validity at that time, of our last numbers from 2008. and the question really was because we had seen the significant changes in the service area, we had a long recession and with the changes in the water use patterns and we had ai wholesale price of water that was sky rocketing through the roof as it should be, but what kind of an effect was it having on demand and water use? and so this shows that the 2008
11:04 pm
study of the demands by the dotted line and the green line at the bottom is the new demands after the savings and they are trending about 20 percent lower throughout the period. and so that is me was a significant take away of this and certainly, solidifies the importance of doing this effort. >> to kind of show what this means with water and population and it seems to be a lot of focus these days on per capita and what is going on with water use, and so again on your left is your average number the solid blue line is the actual demand and the red dotted line is population and to the right you see the projected top you lacing that lighter ras perry color and the blue, green, line as the projected demand. and this is 27 percent copulation increase between now and 2040.
11:05 pm
with 19 percent demand increase, and again a reminder that was a 31 employment increase over that same period so there a quite a bit going on in the employment that is involved in these demand projects. >> i got the box because it did highlight something that i think that certainly mr. ritchie and i have talked about what to do with the draut and the customer base and a customer. and there has been a 60 percent increase in population, and so that is from 2040 and through that whole period, 8 percent increase in demand. and which means that a 32 percent decrease in per capita water use. so just highlights the fact that in 2040, it is not going to be that easy to achieve the test and reductions that we are talking about because we are going to be starving from a demand that is much harder than it is today. >> so, a couple of take aways.
11:06 pm
the demand trends are trending significantly. and again, these are the total water demands. in the service area for these 268 mgd, and 46 mgd as additional conservation savings. so moving forward, the report will be out this month, and we have got the number of agencies started on the analysis of how do you plan to meet both demands, that is certainly a critical component and we will be sharing that with my boys and my policy body and with you as soon as it is available f, and we will be using that for our own planning purposes and also the conservation analysis is something ha we will be using for planning for our own programs as well. so it becomes a critical come known nent for how we. and that concludes my comments and i will answer any questions that you might have. >> commissioner morasn,?
11:07 pm
>> thank you. the total demand numbers that you have there are the total demand from, or on the regional system and other sources that you are are members have available to them. >> you are talking 268 total and our supply to you was 184. >> correct. >> and the gap is met by other resources. >> exactly. >> so one of the issues that we have going forward as to how it that balance? ed and what we will play in balancing that as opposed to what you think is the helpful programs that would balance it yourself? >> exactly. that is the reason for our strategy in what you are looking at what role that you want to play. and through our strategy effort we are looking at that, and what is that number and will the agencies want you to play? >> great, thank you.
11:08 pm
>> are there any public comments on the bawsca report? >> seeing none, public comment is closed >> item ten is the consent calendar. and item ten a, through, constitute a consent calendar, are considered to be routine by the san francisco public utilities commission, and will be acted upon by a single vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission or the public so requests, in which event the matter will be removed from the calendar and considered as a separate item. ethere are any requests from my colleagues or any member of public to remove an item. seeing none, i will entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> seconded. >> and it has been seconded. any public comment on items, 10, a, b, c, d, seeing none, public comment is closed. all of those in favor, signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> the motion carries next
11:09 pm
item, please. >> item 11,authorize the general manager to execute on behalf of the city and county of san francisco, a memorandum of agreement with san francisco unified school district for an amount not to exceed $140,000, and with a duration of two years, which will authorize the use of sfpuc funding to support science, technology, engineering and math educational programming. >> commissioners, i have a question, juliet, we got a correspondence from the young man, senator torres, you may know him, commissioner matt haney and i don't know that we read it in the record and it was not long ago and it was for the water fountains for the kids at the schools, did we balance this and that, or because i am curious about how this comes but i didn't see the action on that or did i miss that day? >> so, i think that what you are referring to is the tap stations. >> yes. >> and so this is different from that, and so this is the background for this item is it just authorized the general manager to sign the memo of
11:10 pm
agreement with the school district, specifically, around professional development, of teachers, and tied to sfpuc equal literacy goals in the different enterprises and so that is what this is for and it replaces, mla that we have, for the similar types of work with the school district that is expiring. the school board member is talking about these during tap station and so through the budget process, as part of the ad back process that the board of supervisors identifies resources, and then, the types of priorities that they think is important. and they are working on it to identify the add back process to support more going into the schools. and so that, there are resources we have not come back to you with that. but just got finalized through the budget process in the last couple of weeks. >> that is what i was hoping to hear, could you give us that
11:11 pm
information, under i guess,... and in the agenda just so we have that information because i would like to be able to report back. >> sure. >> i will put that in a written update for you. >> commissioners we do not have a motion, on item 11 yet. >> i will move it. >> it has been moved and seconded. is there any further discussion, is there any public comment on item 11? >> good afternoon. >> conference call on hold. >> okay. >> good afternoon, commissioners, and thank you so much for having me, my name is hydra men des and i am a member of the board of education for san francisco unified school district and i just wanted to run up to say thank you, thank you, so much for this opportunity. over the last several years, the school district has been really thinking about stem and what it is that we need to do to insure that our kids are
11:12 pm
coming into the 22nd century and we have actually gone as far as hiring a stem director to make sure that our stem curriculum is intact and that we are delivering the solid core curriculum as the changes to education, are coming forward, with the common core. and i cannot tell you what an opportunity it is to have a puer c, be part of building that infrastructure for cool district, this is such an experience that our kids will have to work more closely with the puc and to be part of the family in a very different way. and so i just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the work that you have been doing and for opening up these great opportunities for our kids. and in addition to the 140,000, you also invest in our assisting the building director at the school district and that too, has been a way for us to save energy and, to think about what our school district could
11:13 pm
be contributing to in terms of making our environment a better place and the puc has been an incredible lead on that. and in addition to that the mayor has been instrumental in bringing forward some additional dollars for our middle school leadership initiative and which is putting the tea part in stem. and so our technology has been upgraded and we have the infrastructure in place where the wifi is in all of the elementary schools and we have been delivering the devices to all of the schools and so part of what we want to be able to share with our kids is the opportunity early on is to bring forward the stem education and again this is yet, another step in the right direction and so, on behalf of the school district, and on behalf of the mayor's office we just want to thank you for this incredible partnership. and we look forward to working closely with you in the coming years. >> thank you for your service. >> thank you. >> i think that commissioner torres was thinking what i was
11:14 pm
thinking that during one of the most challenging times that you have been confronted of, you stood strong. and you were kind of a becan over there and sometimes i don't think that people recognize all of the great work that you do. i know that we appreciate it and i don't even have children, because we have a lot of employees and a lot of people that rely on you and you take a lot of heat and you don't get a lot of credit for the great work that you do, i love seeing you. >> thank you, i cannot tell you how much i appreciate it but the random acts of kindness and support for those of us are that the trenches it and the cool district has become by leaps and bonds. and there is a time when i can step back and feel like this is the twhaork we are going to be doing naturally and that it is not going to be forced. and so the relationships like
11:15 pm
this, helps to get constitutionalize the wo*rk that we need to do in order to get the children we had educated and help all of them, you know, grow and raise their family and so i look forward to the relationship and thank you for the kind words. >> it has been moved and it has been seconded is there any further public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i will call for a vote. all of those in favor, signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> and the motion carries, madam secretary, the next sit item please? >> would you like me to read the closed session items before i call public comment? >> please do. existing claim joan and peter cuddihy.
