san francisco. and i would like to thank the supervisors for allowing me the opportunity to speak before you. i believe that we want the same things, and i too, walk the same path as my colleague. i started out as a part time worker. i would first like to say that again, landmark theater supports the formula retail workers bill of rights legislation sxim theater discuss the one part of the regulation and the notification and scheduling requirements as my colleagues from amc have discussed the studios control the manner in which we know what films we are showing and our business fluctuate and not predictable and we are at the mercy of the film distributingers regarding release dates and titles posting it in two weeks is not feasible because we receive the bookings only four days before an opening any theater can have multiple film changes at the start of any given week and the

film business, associated with these releases will fluctuate with each title change and in addition, there are a number of factors that significantly effect attendance, and such as weather, advertising, critic reviews and so jan wall what they think effects though it will play in the city, our operating hours vary and we do not have normal hours, and sometimes i will play a matinee and evening and sometimes just evening shows but i will not know this two weeks in advance and i will have added screenings and theater rentals as well and add the shifts as well and in the movie industry i thank everyone. >> appreciate. >> and anybody else wish to >> okay, if there are more speakers line up against the far wall, again. >> supervisors, i apologize for being a few minutes late, i am

the habits so i'm going to urge you to think about presentation r prospective as important to your customers. >> thank you and i'm sure if we get the drought update it will speak to that. >> any other public comment? >> okay. the next item. >> communications you've all received any questions comments on conversations any public comment on conversations? we move on to the report of general manager >> through the chair i made this observation last time we have an item on the agenda it dealt with commission business or new business donna is there a okay. okay - i withdraw my

comments. >> (laughter). >> very well okay report of general manager. >> first up have nancy talk about our quarterly audit and performance report. >> good afternoon, president and commissioners nancy the director of internal controls may i have the slides. >> nancy director of assurance and controls i'm sure you're aware of the quarterly is a detailed activities of puc with the intents to highlight the debt the sfpuc values those and introduction o take into consideration all recommendation by visiting the auditors and agency the intermittently controls worked to insure their audits are completed and their observations and recommendations are valid and according to the

report they cooperate with the management to make sure the recommendation are adequate complete and knowsly the bureau provides recommendations as highlighted in the executive director summary over 50 projects in completion 21 audits and 16 scheduled their performance relayed and performed by the city auditor 57 percent of the audit and the next audit are financial in nature and normally xhublthsd by the km a g in a competitive financial report for the commission 5 audits were completed in the past audit and highlighted in

the executive summary along with audits reports they include the united states constitution 2012 audit and all recommendations and closed by the csa with the irrigation district a financial audit the whole for the changes there were no findings or internal issues issuance of the san francisco public utilities commission audit scorecard for 2013-2014 was a b and san francisco public utilities commission from prior years and audit for the san francisco public utilities commission costs of the 54 of the reports those audits were proactively requested as part of monitoring and best practices. >> i'm sorry director may i ask

you a question the the scorecard a b and formally a a. >> that's 2013-2014 a slight difference from the a minus rate in 2013-2014. >> slides please thank you as it continues to q four into the next fiscal year 20 projects for the next 20 months for the years 2014-2015 and citywide translations and real estate royalties and concessions and contract review at the southeast one and 2 and enter departmental contracts next year in calculation with the auditor to determine the priorities and the continued focus of the organization to a proactively planning our audits with the

capturing the cost-efficientcys and the monitoring practices to support those with the skvg and insuring the accuracy and transparency feedback from this commission and sfpuc management is acceptable for the priorities thank you at this time, i'd like to take any questions if you have any. >> yes. i have one in terms of the audits 4 out of the 5 were requested by management. >> yes. >> how two questions how do you determine which to audit and in terms of the results how it is tracked. >> it depends on the priorities and the management of the sfpuc we have regular senior management meeting and a lot of discussion comes up sometimes my team we work with the auditors

and keep abreast of the activities and the publications are out there and what are the priorities in terms of the cost recovery in terms of implementing the recommendations a lot of it runs along the lines of internal controls and oversight and monitoring if they have questions to determine where we can help them implement or update policies that are reflected with the best practices. >> where does it show up in terms of the regular practices with the updates i'm asking the new guy a question. >> what do you show the results. >> the service auditors has follow-up when they follow-up we'll respond according to their report address provide up to the assistant general manager for the enterprises so it is

communicated through management and up to management. >> thank you. >> any other comments? i have a couple of ones in line with what you're asking commissioner there's a lot of detail it's provided in some of the audits we tend to losses track as a procedure i went through it this time was uncomfortable with losing track of that the second is that in the course of the audit you have a report not a departmental responses where there are concurrences and non-concurrences and press for clarification and the controller or the auditor will coming come back and respond to that what i've been thinking about i don't have have a suggestion but i've been pondering it and if

staff would like to help out with that thought process not this moment i'll appreciate that the question how should we deal with number one concurrences we've said this audit program is about one of the most transparent programs it is an aggressive program i want to make sure that didn't start as window dressing and it not only serves the information needs of management but serves the information needs of the commission and the public so i've been thinking about how we can modify this process to make that process more transparent and bring it to serve the commissions interest as well as the public so from my stand out the continuing thought and anyone that has any ideas i'd love to hear it the other

comment we have an scorecard manual that does not respond to the issues i've raised when i came before us before i think it documents how the metrics were made and all that so we know what went into the scorecard but it didn't respond directly and that a followup i think that's all of my comments >> i have one more thing in my experience with audits the implementation is correctly or strategic with some of the audit results are incorporated into the business plan twinkling i trickling down to the goals or a separate action plan? >> that will depend on the audits and manages i've seen it

go into the business plan. >> yeah. so when we look at what the audit finding are you know we incorporate them which we agree and be they're the best practices or sometimes you know we don't agree i'll give you an example we don't agree to give you a feeling the audit basically under which one was many telephone - telephone assets and cost audit they were saying we make a lot of personal phone calls and based on it off of if you didn't call a city number anything outside of that is not city we call people on cell phones we disagree that's an example we didn't agree that was an example of where we don't agree so

there's situations we don't agree or they're asking you guess to do something is it against what is the best interests of the puc some examples on the t.i.d. and m i d they wanted to us do things in conflict with an act so there are things we don't agree with so i don't know how do we make that more transparent we say well, we disagree. >> we do and we provide a very detailed response up to why we don't concur we have the ability to partially concur so as the general manager said if it's not it becomes we'll provide the controller's office or the city auditor will take note and evaluated and come back and say

we accept our response and they close it sometimes, it's left for further discussion with follows up. >> so maybe providing the commission of what those documents look like from all the audits what are the unclosed recommendations so that you feel we are tracking the issues. >> i don't know yet. >> okay. >> and well, one question is do all of the audits in in their final form get shared with the commission. >> yes. they do all audits are recorded through the quarterly audit best practices. >> that's clearly a start to it the reason i'm asking it is complicated there are audits that apply to more than one department if something happens

this or that department don't it and if no one does it that's not a satisfactorily resolution those things don't automatically resolve no higher court within the city process so i want to make sure it has enough transparent there are things like that or a non-concurrence effects the policy judgment one thing a particular recommendation costs a lot of money who - fine if we thought the commission thought it was important or the mayor or the board of supervisors we should look at that that shouldn't be the end of the process they should at least be applying for some kind of consideration i realize this complexity of it but start the thought process and make a complete recommendation. >> we can think about how to document it to track the

different types of issues that we may be don't concur and we can put those in the categories that is solely the puc or citywide and why i mean we talk off-line and get the feeling how to address it i understand multiple departments agree then no one wants to take the leads to try to fix it. >> the audit was the because of 3. >> yeah. yeah. >> okay. any others comments any public comments seeing none. >> so the next item is charles talking about the quarterly budget. >> good afternoon charles pearl in terms cfo a standing update we provide to the commission every 3 months a sense thought

how the cooperation and highlight issues that we feel need to brought to your attention, of course the comparison the quarterly report to the last quarterly report in december the numbers are fairly similar go to the slides i have one slide to share with you and that is the current year status of course we're managing around the reduced water sales and the water enterprise that is effecting the wastewater enterprise noted in the box on this slide here and those percentages range from 8 to 10 percent on the entrepreneurs the new news the quarterly enterprise through the rainy system that are lower revenues associated with the power generating and this activity is

from today through march we'll prepare one more for year ends again, this is showing all the enterprises have blow budget for wastewater and the power enterprise we've done a good job of walling those for watering is almost zeroed out we have service and other funds we've taking a look at to lower the debt service this shows through the end of march a $29 million shortfall for the water enterprise we've gotten one good
