so we've done numerous analysis. we believe we understand the technical problem. we put costs to the technical problem disps problems and need to figure do that and i love the idea about a committee. and we will do that. i clearly believe that dialogue is important. i thank you for setting up this hearing because it gives us a chance to give the bigger picture and the technical information. it gives the neighborhood a chance to give us specifically the things that they experience and we can share ideas. together we do want to solve this problem. we do have some real challenges here and i don't think they're insurmountable but somebody said you just can't take a piece of the city and say you can't live there i'm not there yet. i think from a policy perspective if we decide to acquire

property and convert it into park or collection system or as the gentleman said low points that maybe the best thing for the city from an overall cost perspective. i will leave that to the policy makers. we'll generate the data and information and work with the community. we do sympathize. i was out there in december and walking through 2 feet of water in some of the residences so i know what they went through, and so i am sorry that we're here but we're are working on it. >> before we go on to 17th and folsom can you say something to the other residents? >> yes, just as stephanie is leading 17th and folsom another staff member saeed is working on that situation. they're complicated by the freeway work

there. the woman that spoke her property is at ground zero and experienced the greatest flooding. technically it should be easier to address than 17th and folsom and have a white paper within the two weeks of the completion of 17th and folsom and somebody referenced the sewer system failure. i take issue to that. it performed to design. the storms are beyond what we designed the system to and that's what we need to address. >> [inaudible] >> thank you very much. >> [inaudible] >> you want to come up? >> [inaudible] >> in you're going to say something i do want you to -- >> why are places like 18th -- castro for example higher than both of these areas i think.

why are the main lines feet in diameter and come to 18th and folsom and what did we decide today? they're 18 inches in diameterral folsom so how does that mean the infrastructure -- it's been replaced back to the original size. i'm not a plumber and maybe i am ignorant in math but that's pathetic. you have that size pipe all the way down 18th street until the corner and in a transfer box that shoots water 16 feet out of the man hole cover and floods the street because of the pipe 18 inches in diameter. that's ridiculous. maybe not your fault either. >> mr. cruz anything to add to that? >> only i welcome the notion of a committee so we can look at the analysis. >> if i may to the folks that came out on the kyuga issue

we're certainly happy to advocate for a response and we will pass it on to your supervisor as well. i think that i appreciate that you came here to raise that issue and i am sure that you will get something not only from the puc but hopefully from your supervisor. on the 17th and folsom piece let me say that i truly feel for the residents and the reason that we wanted and the business owners -- the reason we wanted to have this hearing is this is something i have been dealing with on an yearly basis, and we're happy to work with the community, to work with the puc. as the storm happens but i feel that we need to figure out a short term, midterm and long-term solution

here. and i welcome the idea of a working group . and those that don't know mr. cruz as i know. i have worked with him for years and he's a capable individual you can get and we're lucky he's involved and he really cares. with that said i do think that we need to have a complete outline of what steps the city is going to take. if there is a long-term objective of 2020 that's fine if that is something that eventually will be a permanent solution but we just can't say we will wait until 2020 and that's when something will be done. we have to have a plan that call it is for

specific short term and midterm action. i think having a working group makes a great deal of sense, and i am committing myself and my office carolyn who does an amazing job of putting this together and following up. we're committed to working with the puc and the community to facilitate such a working group, and i think something has basic as throwing out ideas and having a technical response to those idea it is because part of it i think people may not know what's been done or what's been considered and i am certainly not an expert in pipes but i can tell you that i share the frustration. i i've had issues with my sewer system in the last two months and as horrible a situation as can you have as a homeowner. when you're dealing with that is -- i can't explain

how fully how horrible it is so i could only imagine what you've gone through. what i would like to do is to maybe create this working group, and then maybe begin a meeting working meeting with this group and maybe within a month or so, and i look forward to hearing from the community in terms how large you want it to be. we want it to be inclusive of everyone but at the same time we want to make sure that it is a working group that looks at all of the concrete options, and maybe what we can do is hold this meeting -- have this meeting be continued so that maybe in two, three months we can come back to see where we are with this because i don't

want it to be we have this hearing and then we forget about it. i would like to come back to this in maybe three months and see where we are so that there is a concrete set up steps. what i envision to the extent, and again that's the problem with people who think they know what they're talking about, not knowing is dangerous, but i personally feel some of the things that need to be explored besides this long-term solution of the tunnel that you talked about i do think there are properties that probably the city may need to consider taking over and even if having some sort of storage tank is not the solution that you want it to be, seems to me that what i am hearing something could actually help. it's better than what we have right now. i also want to explore the possibility of how this grant program can be more

focused on the specific needs of each property and if there are things that we can do with each property maybe in the end that is -- that's a solution. i do have to say as a lawyer that it is challenging when you're talking about taxpayer money invested in individual property and i think we should do it but it's legally you have to kind of be careful how you do that, but i think we have a lot of smart people here that can figure it out. and then i also think that if there are other things that that can be done that perhaps we're not thinking about -- i mean i think we should think outside the box. i appreciate the sand bags but i agree with folks when the problem is internal to the house and it's coming out of the sewer system i don't care how many sand bags you have it's not going to fix

it. although i do appreciate that you have made them more available, so i think that if anyone can figure this out san francisco can figure it out. if any part of san francisco can figure it out certainly the good folks at 17th and folsom working with the puc can figure it out so i look forward to working with folks but now we're going away and i don't want to keep supervisor mar because we're going to lose quorum and i am happy to chat after the hearing so if we can continue this to the call of the chair, mr. chairman. >> and seems like three months after the community process and do that without objection and continue to the call of the chair. mr. evans anymore items? no more items. >> thank you very much. >> thank you mr. cruz and your staff.

[gavel]. >> welcome everybody i'm going to start the program well, to 1915 yeah. >> yeah. >> and if you look around you might see charlie chaplin and laura is here and if you look really closely that devil art smith that here so i'd like to start the show with first of all, how many were you at the palace of the fine arts did you have fun and go to the ugly this
