>> seeing none, i will entertain a motion on the whole >> so moved >> this has been moved. >> and it has been seconded. >> i am going to call on public comment, on item 9 athrough e. seeing none, public comment is now closed and i will call for a vote. all of those in favor, aye. >> aye. >> and the motion carries and we called number ten, will you call item eleven? >>approve project no. cuw30103 regional groundwater storage and recovery project; adopt the required california environmental quality act findings, including a statement of overriding considerations, and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program; and authorize the general manager to implement the project, and subject to board of supervisors approval where required, including the following. this is the item where there

were two resolutions in the packet, the first was correct and just to clarify, on page 5, the third, or it was, or has after section 9.118, the wording, along with the approval of the settlement of any appeals by this... and based on the terms of the mitigation agreements, and be it. that was the correct resolution, which was the first. >> >> commissioners are you clear on the resolutions? >> no i am not, where are they? >> in the staff report. >> okay. >> there are two resolutions i have replaced the resolution and omitted taking out the second resolution, when the new version went in. and the first one in the packet was the correct. >> okay. >> and the only difference between the two is the wording in the page 5, with the second for the resolved part. >> in the packet. >> in your.

>> in the director's desk. >> yes. >> okay. >> thank you. >> so, can we hear from our council? thank you. >> president, and members of the commission, josh, deputy city attorney and i would like to draw your attention and there are a couple in today's findings in attachment eight of the resolution, and it is a complicated project and it simply reflects what is in the final environmental report, and findings, that were adopted by the city planning commission, last thursday, and the changes are on page 33, and there is the inclusion of the impact chy-2, which is the... >> are you referring to the eir document? >> yes, i am and your findings, and attached as attachment a to the project, incorporate the findings adopted by the city planning and so we are trying to insure the consistency with

the final environmental impact report and that is not new information. >> and so the first irata is on page 33, impact, cyh2 and the conclusion there is that mitigation measure, hy 6, reduces the impact to a level of any significance. and the second, irata is, on the same page, and it is including a note with mitigation measure, hy6 which has to do with the fact that the county has permit authority over replacement wells that might be drilled by irrigater and so this urges the county to cooperate with the city. and the third and final, irata is on page 43, and it is simply, adding a couple of well sites to the impact the cumulative land use,-1 on page 43, so it is adding sites, 11

and 17 to the impact and conclusion that is less than significant with mitigation. >> and the irata has been put on the table over there and made available for your review as well. >> okay. >> yes, commissioner torres? >> yes, so, council, in respect to the proposal that you have and that we have before us, can you give me some idea of how, are you familiar with the sb11678 by the senator? >> i am not the one that you brought it in on. >> sure, it comes up before the state senator and appropriation's committee tomorrow. and it, it is and it deals with the ground water management on a state wide basis, and how i think that you may have the answer to this, how we as an agency are going to be providing that ground water management, proposal; is that correct?? >> correct. >> all right. >> so, council is not familiar with the bill but you are. >> yes, in fact i have the project manager greg barto here and he knows more specifics in

terms of answering a question but in summary this project is compliant as the poe posed bill. >> as amended. >> august sixth. and so would i like to invite greg who is the project manager to come forward. >> absolutely. okay. >> with respect to 1168 we have been tracking that bill and it is the regional ground out project is designed to be consistent with the intent of that bill, as well as our project that was approved by the commission. and both the south water has the ground water management plan that was adopted.

we are working to develop a plan and we kicked that earlier off this year. >> that has been approved by the state water board? >> no, the, the ground water management plans are approved by the local entity. but we would follow the state... >> the standards. >> yes. right. >> so part of the problem has been and i know that this may not impact us directly yet but perhaps it does incorrectly, but all of the pumping that has been going on in the central valley, and for obvious reasons and, for irrigation purposes. now we have a controversy dealing with some water agencies, santa clara for example, that has an underground aqua fer and may not have access to it and i want to be sure that whatever we approve today, can going to be consistent with what 1168 which was amended on august 6th by the senator will be a consistent pattern for us along with whatever state

legislation, the governor seeks to sign it is still a month away, so, a lot of changes can occur. >> right, we have been tracking a bill and we believe that the project is consistent with it, and you are correct commissioner, that the bill is really targeted and the ground water basin is declining and this project is designed to be sustain able, and actually provide more water under the basin, and both of our projects are intended to be a sustain able project. >> i want to be sure of that. >> thank you. >> commissioner, wade do you have a report for us? >> yes, i do, thank you, president courtney, and commissioners dan, wade, the director and i am very pleased to be here to request your approval of the regional ground water storage and recovery project and we super heard the item and i just wanted to acknowledge mr. barto and the project team many of whom are sitting in audience today who have been working difficult intelligently on the planning

and design of this project as well as working up the agreements with the partner agencies for over a decade and so this is a very significant, milestone, for puc and the partner agencies. and so, the question, again, your approval of the project, including adoption of the findings, and adoption of the monitoring and the program and authorization for the general manager to take the necessary actions to implement the project and there is a list of it in the agenda item and i just like to highlight a few, very important things about this project, that make it really fantastic, for, and or agency and for the customers, and number one, it is important for a driver and the emergency, water supply, in particular, it

is designed to provide, 7.2 million gallons a day for 7 and a half years for dry years and so we will have an underground, water reservoir, stored, that is about the equivalent in size of lower and upper reservoirs this is 60,000 acre feet of water that is stored underground and that is about, 2 billion gallons of water and so this is in lieu, and conjunctive project can three agencies including the city, the city of san bruno and the california, water service company and this project would not be possible, without these agencies, to allow a recharge

of the ground water into abasin which can be returned and covered and dry in years in the case of an emergency, and so, the specific project facilities include, 16 newell stations, and including pipelines, and in the south west side ground water basin and also includes some treatment facilities, at some of those locations. and the project to cost, $113 million and we plan to complete the construction in july of 2018 as part of the water system improvement program. with that i would be happy to take any questions. e >> i will entertain a motion, the amendment including the corrections which are no material change are available to the public, on the table, commissioners? >> so moved. >> it has been moved.

>> second. >> and seconded. >> is there any further discussion? any public comment on the amendment as discussed? and on this table there? seeing no public comment, on the amendment, it is closed >> i will call for a vote, all of those in favor, signify by saying aye. >> and opposed? >> the amendment is now included. and i will entertain a motion on the resolution, as amended. >> so moved. >> okay. >> second. >> and is there any public comment on the resolution as amended? >> seeing..., yes? >> i have your card, sorry about that? >> i am very pleased today to stand here on this project. i have talked to you several times about the importance of your water supply level, and the commitment that this body made to your customers built in

staoet and your wholesale customers to limit rashing to no more than twebt 20 percent and this is one of those projects that will enable you to meet that commitment and so that purpose it will provide a 7.2 million gallons of water a day during a dry year and i have said rntion would it be great if i had that today and it would make a huge difference for the current water supply, and so it is critically important, and i enthusiastickly support it on behalf of my agencies and i appreciate the efforts of the puc staff, to bring this project to fruition and it has been a long time in coming and my member agencies and the three of them who are the partner agencies who are supportive of this and really excited about this project moving forward. i urge you to vote yes on it. >> thank you. >> is there another public comment? >> good afternoon.

>> i am supportive of this and this is a long time coming if you look at 6.3 section you will see what is taking place over time in cooperation with the san francisco, when it did once rain, we were able to go off and eliminate it and use the extra water and so it is taking place and we are supportive and we have worked out an agreement that will forward your assistance and if you have any questions for the local agent's perspective i am happy to answer it. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. >> so we are on item 11, the item has been moved, and seconded. >> is there any other public comment? >> seeing none, it is closed, and i will call for a vote, in favor, aye. >> the ayes have it and the

matters not appearing on the agenda. >> we have moved this to the front of the agenda, because we are making members of the comment interested in waiting through the entire agenda, in an effort to make it easier, we have moved it to the front >> this is nice to be beginning of the session as many commissions do this, there are many sessions that come up that might give the opportunity for others to speak at the end and so i would ask that you consider adding this is he end as well, we did not have a lot of public comment, and i think that it speaks to the inat the intent to make ourselves to open to hearing to the members as possible by at least

scheduling another comment at the end. if no one stands up we all go home >> thank you. >> anyone else? >> i would like to see it at the end because i remember sitting in the meetings where it was at the beginning and after listening to the whole session, something came up that i would love to have commented on and so if that is possible, would i like that, thank you. >> thank you. >> anyone else?

>> great, we will close the public comment and the next item, please? >> item three, discussion, and possible action item, president's report, president frasier? >> before i get started i want to thank commissioner breslin as our president and she saw us through a period of great change with a smile on her face, if you will join with for a round of applause. i have big shoes to fill as the next chair. and i am honored to be selected as president of the health service board and we have an unusual charge in being, or have the fiduciary duty towards all of the members of the health service system that consists not just of the employees but of retirees who have given many years of service to the city and of the school district and the city

college and so i want to continue, president breslin's tenure in terms of continuing and expanding on her tradition of very crisply run meetings and it is great that we have so many people attend our meetings but we want to be sure that we use your time as well as our time and our staff's time because these meetings do take away from the time that they can be spending serving our members. and so, i am looking forward to making sure that we make these meetings as interesting, and engaging as possible, but also, make sure that we make them as healthy as possible, in part, by having wellness breaks, so we will strive and may not always make t we will take a break every hour for five minutes, i do encourage you to get up, if you take one loop, around the floor, and usually it is if you are able to, it is a great way of improving your health, as well as making all of us feel a little bit more up beat, especially in the afternoon and so we will be

striving to do that. and i also wanted to make sure that i took the time to thank each and every member of the staff of the health service system. it has been a consider challenging time in the past with many changes, the people, which i think continues to be challenging. and really, put will bring us great benefits but, the transition was very hard. and we have had some other challenges and i just wanted to say on behalf of the entire board, how much we appreciate the work of the staff in always being focused on what matters the most and that is the service to the members. in particular, i want to thank, lisa for her service, during the time when katherine had to be out, and she did the work, in doing two jobs, again through the contentious, but the very important work that needed to be done and we are so very grateful for the work that you did and grateful for your dedication, to all of our members, and to supporting the board through that time as well.

and of course, we need to express, once again our happiness in having katherine back, back in action, and you have been such a great force for innovation, and we are really excited to have you back and to see all of the great work that you will lead us in the coming years so welcome back. >> all right. so down to the business at hand. before i do, the committee chairs i wanted to call out that mayor lee did provide a communication which is in your packet. regarding his hopes for commissioners in terms of attendance, and i don't think that it is an issue here, we have a dedicated board, but it was asked that we communicate that. finally, let me view the committees, i appreciate the members to serve on the commission and also on the committee and so for the fiscal year, 2014, 15, i am recommending the follow committees and membership.

for rates and benefits we will continue to meet as a committee of the whole and so that means, every board member, every commissioner is a member of the rates and benefits committee and commissioner scott has agreed to continue in the service as chair. and so that is the rates and benefits committee. finance and budget committee, supervisor ferrill did not say no, he is not here to object. so i am recommending that he continue as chair of finance budget committee, with lance and scott as the additional members. i am recommending breslin and shlain and myself and it is my recommendation that we eliminate at least for this period, the membership rules committee, all membership rules have to be voted on by the entire commission, the staff has indicated that we are not having a big, heavy package of rule changes, this year, they

don't expect them and it seems more efficient to eliminate the committee to bring it to the board, and those are my recommendations for the committee. and so i will move that recommendation, and if there is a second? >> i will second. >> and any comments from the commissioners? >> good, no one declined. >> and any public comment? >> again, i just wanted to add to all of your thank yous that the commission secretary, has done a phenomenal job, under some of the most difficult circumstances and i think that in addition to including her with staff, that we need to single her out and recognize her for all of the hard work she did and thank you, i think that we look forward to working with everyone, and on all of the committees for the future work, and we had to mention that she has
