[ gavel ] >> >> good morning ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to call this meeting of the san francisco public utilities commission of tuesday october 14, 2014, to order at 130 :30 p.m.. madam clerk, please read the roll. courtney, caen, vietor. we have a quorum. 2 first item is to approve the minutes. >> second. >> any comment on approval of the minutes? seeing none, i will call for a vote. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? >> the ayes have it.

the next item. city clerk: item 4, public comment. >> if you are interested in speaking, please fill out a card. if you do i will call you in this order. mr. decosta, yolanda louis. >> good afternoon. >> good morning. the community is at a stage where we are paying very careful attention to the water system improvement project but to the sewer system improvement project. as you know commissioners those are still and fouling --

following what's really happening. we do have the experts in place to address what is happening. some of it in good faith was addressed, and i'm talking about calaveras and then we had to deal with removal of over 2 million tons of dirt. that's not a joke, but it's being done. if you read yesterday's, today's news, the united states geological is survey is talking about the hayward fault. if anybody knows where that fault is it's very near calaveras. i'm not saying that we are not ready for the big one, but what i

am saying is that this particular project should have been done some years ago. we can't cry over spilled milk, but we have to make note of it. having said that, some of those in the community are interested in the sewer system improvement project and in that project where $2.6 million have been set aside to address the digesters. now, we know that that project is not a very easy project because of many elements. the constraints of being in a general area. the standards that have to be addressed

i'm asking this commission to inform the community give us some information as to what is happening. you have some members, some, and i don't want to write about them. they think we should be kept in the dark. i will not be kept in the dark, not in 2014. we will shed light. thank you very much. >> thank you francisco. yolanda thank you for being here. >> my grandmother said don't give me my flowers when i'm dead. give them when i'm alive. i want to give you flowers today when i start speaking because one thing i

noticed that you always put the public 1st. you have handicap and disabled people and i have been going to the council meetings for the last couple years and they make you wait last. i told them that i had two blood clots this year and i can't sit that long and i was the last person in the audience. we appreciate the fact that you are putting the public first. this is incredibly important. last year i spoke with the puc and the president and others took it upon themselves change it the way you did. i just wanted to give you those flowers and say thank you for putting the public first and for listening. when we come here we are coming here to bring concerns to the community and we know that you are going to hear us and take action. the reason is the outcomes. they are outcomes and the question we have is was it in intentional and unintentional.

when it is intentional, you listen and you act. i want to thank you for taking action for what we brought and we are coming to the table to make ethics better. i have had the great experience of working not only as a small business but being born in the bayview and seeing what's happening and having my family here and having the ability to work next to costa. i have learned a lot. i want to say san francisco hetch hetchy is the purest water and i live in the soutd bay now and we no longer have access to hetch hetchy water and we have some of the highest chromium six ground water and now we are forced to have this water and we have the highest concentration of nitrate which

is causes blue blood in babies and we have haa 5, the acids that are dangerous. so what i'm saying to you is the people of san francisco have the hetch hetchy water and ask that you look at ways to preserve it and make people more aware of it because now that i'm on ground water anytime i see someone litering, i want to remind them that it's going into my stomach. >> thank you, yolanda. next speaker, dr. jackson. >> good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be back. spanola jackson leader of human rights in san francisco. one thing we hear a lot about at most of our meetings is the community benefits. there is nothing on the agenda today but in the past you have had community benefit programs and updates to community benefit plans.

now i understand that you have been spending money, millions of dollars with millions more to come on these community benefits. well, i have asked around where this money is going and who is actually benefitting, and no one seems to know. we all know that some of this money was the money that was the subject of the records ethics fine against your assistant general manager was supposed to pay for conflict of interest this year. we also know that her and her staff are in charge of this benefit community money. the black leadership riepts council respectfully request an audit of the all the san francisco puc programs from january 2010 until present. this will help us understand how your

so-called community benefit money is actually being spent and who is actually benefitting. i had requested this of you two 2 years ago and never an answer, but i want you all to take note today that this is year 2014 be and i should not have to wait until 2018 to get the information i request from you all. thank you so much and have a blessed day. >> thank you, doctor. >> general manager kelly in >> what we can do is talk about all the programs of the community benefits. the construction center is a community benefit, talk about project pool.

we will definitely provide you the way we define community benefit. the way we define community benefit is by being a good neighbor. we can definitely update you on community assistance center, project pool and the money we normally give to the art community instead of giving money for the city hall, give it to subgroups in the community. so we can talk about how we are rediverting funds that we would normally give to try to debit -- give to the community and the other thing that we are asking is how can you help communities and we actually they come up with the ideas of how to give to the community. we can view that as well. that is something we never ask for. that's how we define community benefit and how we can be a good neighbor. that's how we can define what

that is. most people think it's a community benefit fund that we get. we don't have a community benefit fund. it's how we are utilizing our existing money. currently we are using it in a different way and we are asking partners outside how they can help us help the community that we serve. we'll put it in those categories so you can see all the efforts that other people are doing and working with us because we are trying to leverage as much opportunities to achieve at. one other example i will give for example, the program manager for the sewer system improvement programs parsons, we ask what type of community benefits you will give and they decided they will hire people from the 94124 as an annual program going through engineering. that is something they commit and they had a class of 50 folks this year.

those are the things that are really no cost to us but this is what they are doing to step it up. we will define what it is, this community benefit because a lot of people when they hear community benefits, they think of a way how we do a community benefits with developers. and this is a little slightly different. so anyway, we'll define how we define community benefit and all the programs underneath it. not a problem. >> thank you, general manager, kel ly. shotted the -- >>commissioner francesca vietor: i would like to nouns that there is information on the we
