10:23 am
got another gun club we cleaned up years ago this property we went through the effort of identifying the clean up plan we have this noted in the document filed a complaint against the club for damages to attempt at that recovery the clean up costs we're working that and that is in litigation right now that remains to be seen whatever costs to recover we have the responsibility for the land as a main party and that's where we have that order was issued in 2015 yes go ahead and plan for clean up it was administratively approved by the board in 2014 and we're ready to go back to work the bids are on tomorrow we expect to be given the claet clean up project. >> if you can again, i know
10:24 am
from the budget analyst report but shed in sighted on the timeline for things you've mentioned the construction but 30esh8 when it is going to end as well as what the puc plans going forward after the clean up is done. >> the schedule for the clean up lasts on the order of a year depending on the conditions because a lot of the earth activity hoping to get some rain it will slow down the activity rather have the rain it shouldn't take more than a year and the property will be fit for use sometime during that year when were we pretty well underway the puc has a public process not total defined to look at possible uses of the site in the future and for proposals from lots of different ferocities so the puc to death with rec and park can make a
10:25 am
decision in future. >> it's not clear that the gun operation will continue after the clear up. >> their lease expires april 8th of the of this year our plan rare evacuating and start the clean up process. >> all right. thank you very much. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you, mr. richie i want to say it didn't fit well, that rate payers are frovpt the costs to do the clean up and the gun club be responsibilities for the contamination is really it seems like a conflict that rate payers are having to deal with that i know in 2007 the board passed a resolution urging a stronger
10:26 am
roll in 2007 for the water system or supply for the city so let me verify you said the gun club is out by 2018 and evacuating the premises. >> yes. >> for the future there will be different rvps but some kind of use that we're adhere to the protection of the water quality and the lake merced as a back up for the city. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> okay. thank you appreciate you're being here we may have more questions to the budget analyst report. >> mr. rose to your report. >> yes. mr. chair on page 4 of the report we recorded the puc's request to clean up the contaminated soil and
10:27 am
replacement soil at the lake merced site is $22 million plus to date 5 hundred plus is appropriated from the puc revenues as shown on the table the remaining $90,000 plus and the puc's water enterprise revenues will allow them to complete the construction management and the construction to clean up the soil and comply with the regal control bodies clean up on page 5 we note that the total of $22 million $500000 plus the construction contract is $180 million $500,000 e.r. approximately 84 percent of the total cost so over the construction bids will not be received until february 5th, 2015 so it should
10:28 am
be those estimates are not based on actual bids the total bids received the actual costs to complete the bid is not known until the bids are received so we report on page 6 of our report the activities of the club clearly resulted in the soil contamination on the lake merced property the city should be responsible for the clean up on the cities property and you'll efforts to recover the payment to offset the city's cost to clean up at the city of lake merced as we note the puc is subtract is to the regional quality control board and ultimately responsible for the water shed land our recommendations on page 7 we recommend that you amend the proposed ordinance to the
10:29 am
$9 million on budgeted and financed reserve pending the selection of the contract to complete the work relate to the contaminated soil and the reminded of the clean up soil at the lake merced property and we accept the promoted an amendment to be acknowledged by the board of supervisors. >> okay mr. rose colleagues any questions for mr. rose. >> okay. at this point we'll open this up to public comment anyone wish to comment only item 3 seeing none, public is closed so colleagues, we have a recommendation by our budget analyst and could you have a motion or supervisor tang. >> i didn't wanted to say in closing i know this is kind of an interesting situation we're in with the puc having to front the cost for the mitigation aforementioned i just want to note i'm glad that the puc has
10:30 am
updated they're releasing guidelines as well as wanting to make sure we point our city departments to work to the cities risks math division if they have questions about the risks so really my message to the department utilize the resource so again, this item makes people uncomfortable it is what we have to do we'll take the budget analyst represents to take the $9.5 million on committee reserve i'd like to make that motion. >> a motion by supervisor katie tang can we take that without objection? so moved >> all right. so do we need to approve the underlying ordinance. >> yes. supervisor tang has amended the ordinance forward it on to the full board. >> can i have a motion to
