makes sense to integrate or if it's possible to integrate with their website, but we need to have something comparable there. so, that people get the same level of service, it also goes with customer notices and news letters, they have news letters that come out talking about water conservation, makes them look pretty socially responsible. we need to have programs that do the same thing or a link that if you're part of the puc family, here's the various things that you get, i think there's a lot of opportunities there. >> i think the biggest challenge is that as we talked about is each one of these accounts are still a pg&e customer, they get the bill from pg&e and we have a little line on their bill, so i don't know if they will be too receptive of putting our literature in their bill about that and maybe we can ask about it, but the other thing is we do reach all the

folks on our water and sewer bill, so we can look at ways of doing that, that way, and we need to invest, you know, as you may know, i have solar on my roof and i have to look at my solar provider to see how the performance is and then i have to go to the pg&e bill to see how much i'm getting back and forth because they're not tied together, you know, it's just the nature that it's not from all system and they're not integrated so it will be something that you would look another your pg&e in the generation and we would have to provide information on our website or through our mailers on our waste water and water bill. >> and we should be able to get access to the billing data on our cca customers. >> yes. >> we'll have access to it. >> is it timely? >> okay. >> so, i would just say,

yes, we'll have access to that information, there has been some challenges that the other cca's that are already operating have had with getting access to information and being able to do things that you have been talking about with pg&e, that doesn't mean we'll try, and there are some state law requirements that make it mandatory to do -- communicate bill comparisons between the utility -- the investor owned utility and the community choice aggregate tor, so we will absolutely try to work with them, but then there is also the state law requirement that they'll have to produce a bill comparison, an annual bill comparison or excuse me, an annual rate comparison for their customers. together with us, you're supposed to mutually prepare that and send it. >> my last comment is an overall one, that the first challenge that we have is

the roll-out and how we accomplish that, but the customer care and marketing, i think it's going to be an ongoing obligation that we'll have, as we bring the budget forward, that's something that if we're not appropriately staffed to really have a marketing and customer care program which is fully competitive with pg&e and fully serves the customer tos the same level they have grown to expect or better, we need to address that in the budget as well. >> right, i totally agree, i think that's our number one as i mentioned before, once we are able to get a customer, we have to keep the customer because the last thing i want to did is move to building more resources and i look behind me and all the customers left and went to the other side. it's not going help the program. >> right. >> and speaking about staff, i want to do my oscar moment, charles sheen as my power

communications manager, amy st. clare, [inaudible] mike tota is over there as well, the cca team, my graphic designer, roy, and my mom and dad. >> [laughter]. >> that concludes it. >> come back, ty. it was a wonderful presentation and a lot of good ideas. i do have some questions and some comments generally. i am having a problem understanding how we're going to define the difference between us and pg&e. in that, if you have 100% green and they have 100% green and if the difference isn't by price, how are we going the win those people over? >> and i think it really is going to have to be that grass roots emphasis which

is why we're talking about that foundation and base and having that network talking to each other, that's the only way we're going to be successful, we're not going to out spend pg&e in term of marketing but the one thing we have is we are a public agency invested in caring about the public activity, then investing back into public resources, that's a strong message to us, what we're receiving back or this program is being reinvested back into the community as far as jobs and local build-out, those types of attributes, we can say more than pg&e. >> probably more that we can say it, that's why we want to lead with affordabilities because when we talk about the green product, we can say ours is greener or costs the same or cheaper, but if someone chooses to go 100%, they can go with their supergreen or pg&e's product, so what we would say is affordable, also we can say

the renewables that we have selected are within city, our local projects will be more local than pg&e, pg&e would be more on their territory, that's what we can talk about the plans, this business plan that beear going to talk about, those are the two things, the good thing is that no matter if they go with our program is 100 or pg&e's 100%, i think the city is in a better place than the plan. >> well, that's the real reason, that's why we're doing this. >> yes. >> the other remark i wanted to make was regarding southeast. i think it's a great idea. the only stumbling block i see and then maybe because of your outreach, this wouldn't occur, but if it turns out that our automatic enrollment is the same price as pg&e's,

i mean, the product is the same price, i think that a lot of people in southeast or any place for that matter would be pretty might halved that they were automatically put into a program and have to opt out themselves, i think tla's the only danger with whatever area we start with, that's going to be the first [inaudible] wherever it is, and we have to be careful with this because you don't want to get people ticked off before you even start growing the program. >> i think one of the most important thing, it's not only the safe price, it's greener, so it's not -- >> i have a problem with that because if pg&e says theirs is greener than ours, who's to judge? >> so, on their basic green product -- >> they have a basic service.

>> they have to declare the renewables, they have to declare, so it's not a mystery, and on ours, we have to declare ours, so ours will be greener than theirs and we will always make sure our basic product is going to be greener than theirs, but on the 100%, you know, we have to really look at being more affordable, so that is where the -- that's why we're looking at what pg&e is proposing to the california puc because that's going the change our strategy a little bit, but you're absolutely right, it would be nice to be greener and cheaper because if it's cheaper and greener, who's going to argue unless you have great, strong feelings to being a pg&e customer, so i'm totally with you that affordability, if we can do that, that would be great, and also it would be great in the southeast sector where people can be greener at a cheaper rate.

it would just be fantastic. >> yeah, i just don't want southeast to come back and say, they're doing it again to us, we're the guinea pigs and thanks a lot, we have to opt out now. >> duly noted. er >> so, we will obviously know more when we get the pricing done. anyway, good job. >> thank you. >> i do have some speakers. eric brooks. >> god afternoon, commissioner, eric brooks, it's good to see you, i've been out for a couple of meet x here on behalf of san francisco clean power advocates, i first want to say that on the marketing thing that you just saw the presentation on, we're very

excited about this idea of looking at district 10, saying, look, this is the most environmentally impacted neighborhood in the city, it's crucial that we put forward this program in a big way in that community first z however, we have strong concerns about only doing in district 10 which is basically the plan right now is to solely do it in that district: that gives pg&e and other opponents the ability to specifically target the specific demographics that are in a specific area with a tax and they will roll out all kinds of clever attack, most of them will be false, so we think it makes a lot more sense to maybe do half of the automatic enrollments in d10 and half of them in the areas where polls show people are most excited about cleanpowersf and a green program so that you don't

have all your eggs in one basket. as commissioner caen indicated, it could go bad on you under a pg&e ad assault, so we want to make sure we're being mindful about that and we're pretty concerned about that. i was at a meeting yesterday where we heard this presentation about the marketing plan and it was not mentioned during that presentation that what we're hearing today about delay ins the program and that raises some major red flags. pg&e after marin started up, pg&e since the beginning has constantly been changing its rates and changing rate structures to play games with what marin can do -- competing with them on price. that is something that will be ongoing from the beginning that will never change. and as general manager kelly

suggested, we can market 100% green to people by talking about the local benefits. the reason that we have and your staff wisely chose to have the light green program between 33 and 50% clean is that it gives us flexibility in case pg&e does play games with the rates, so as we said at the very beginning of this process, when something similar was said by staff, we do not want you delaying, absolutely do not want you delaying your october approvals because of trying to make the perfect [inaudible] the good, by deciding, pg&e might do x, y, and z, and that's really not acceptable, and i wanted to make that clear. thank you. >> thank you. alright. >> jason freed, executive officer for lafco on the marketing plan, i think st staff put together a good marketing plan, you've

already complimented them enough to try to address commissioner caen, one of your concerns. [inaudible]. so, those would be some of the things i would encourage you to do with that. as far as the timeline goes, you know, i always will encourage you to move as

quickly as you can. i will drum that broken record, we do need to be cautious, i think there needs to figure out where that balance and i like the compare you two, commissioner moran, you're the one who wants to make sure everything is taken care of, as a customer of the fcpur, and i think commissioner, you're willing to push it as fast as possible, if you pay attention to pg&e when they've networked, they seem to coincide with whatever you're working on creating this program, so the launch of their green tariff, i would not be shocked if it was around the same time whether we launched today or two years from now, that green tariff seems to be around the same time, i wouldn't worry as much about that, i think there are enough good way tos sell our product on the local side and on all the benefits we can provide tat local level. if we do get to that big

scale build-out, we're talking about stable pricing you, ear not seeing really that competitive price today but five, ten years down the road as those projects mature more, as natural gas and as pg&e has to increase their own renewable load, their prices go up, you would have locked in those build-out project, those prices would be firmed into a price, basic increases going on there, so i will yield to you at this time and come back to you on friday when we have our joint meeting to talk about some of these details as well. thank you. >> thank you, mr. decosta. >> commissioner, way back in 200 1, some [inaudible] would go to sacramento to see what it was all about, so morris campbell, michael boyd, lynn

brown, paul sand, [inaudible] bloom field, these are a few people who initially gave a lot of input into what you are discussing today. now, it's very easy to talk about a business plan, but the real business plan has to be vetted at all levels. so, you have to ask your staff if that is done. the last time around, we had some outrage and we had a joint meeting between you, the commission and the department of environment. we found out how some of your staff did the outreach with some buyers. you cannot mess with pg&e, as you know, every time when you go into your closed session and you're dealing with lawsuits brought by pg&e,

you can tally how many of the lawsuits are won by pg&e and how many of the lawsuits are won by sfpuc. i have that empirical data, so i know where that bafoonary stands, so what i'm saying is when we are dealing with whatever we are dealing and we have a business plan, let us not be foolish to leave the community out, and let us not be more foolish to speak on behalf of the community without giving them a voice. now, we all need to address the best product, what we have two advantage, and i'm talk b about sfpuc is not only land in san francisco but we have land elsewhere, and so we need to follow the

direction of a nation like germany who's done so much in solar power by having the ability to produce and then we give our presentation, let's not talk about pg&e and the overheadline that is you bring to energy, but we have to bear in mind the 400 megawatts we bring from pittsburg which you conveniently leave out. let us give the right information to the people of san francisco so that they can participate in this deliberations in a very truthful manner. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> any other comments from the public? your next item, general manager? >> the drought, steve ritchie.

>> thank you, commissioners, steve khaoe, assistant general manager for watt e we'll go into the update of the current drought. as usual, i'll show you the storage levels in our reservoirs which hetch hetchy is 78% of the capacity, that's coming down, as it normally does every year, so we're in good shape there, but it's a standard process, also the water bank has been steadily increasing in capacity, it's about 116 acre feed, we expect to get to about 173 thousand acre feed, so there's nothing that's changing about this picture, our system is performing as we expected to. the community precipitation, if you look really close at the red line, there was a tiny bump up, we did have a little precipitation just a cum of weeks ago, not much

but obviously we're at the end of the water year and the excitement is all going to be ahead as to see what happen ins the coming water year. our total deliveries have continued to stay stable at about 200 million gallons per day, in full disclosure, if you look close, you'll see the blue line looks a little different than it has in previous slides, we found an error in terms of how we were displaying it for 2014, it was higher than what we had displaying before, we were displaying it correctly last year when we were experiencing the comparison between the two was off because of a mathematical error, the message is the the same, folks are conserving well, and we haven't jumped above 200 mgd, that line has been essentially flat now for about the last three months. the net result i think is really a very important slide to see, we estimated that to

meet our targets a year, we needed to save a billion dollar worldwideser we saved 11.4 billion gallon, we met the target for the year so far, we're going to continue to save water, that's a great thing. folks have done an outstanding job of conserving both outside of san francisco and in san francisco. i showed yo awe slide similar to this last time we talked. it was for the three year running average periods of hot and dry and it was for california statewide, so i had our folks do some analysis and use hetch hetchy data and add in the fourth year through this water year, 2015 and not surprisingly for the hetch hetchy system, this last four years has been the hottest and driest four year period on record for our system. it is -- we are living in

historic times here, i think you probably saw news reports that it was the lowest in many year, this is a deep drought and a hot one and the hot's important because that means plant usage of water and the natural systems is up, this is a challenging time, no doubt about it. i showed this slide last time trying to show that at least historically, we have not really been able to correlate el nino currents here in the central coast area with precipitation, but i've got some slides to add to this now, last week, the national weather service has put out some new forecast data, i haven't shared slides that look like this because they're a little wonky, generally what they've shown is that white area is called equal chance, that means equal chance of greater than or less than normal

precipitation and that's been sitting over the middle of california for the last year in their projections. what this shows is looking out to december, january and february, the green has moved north, basically they're looking at a between 55 and 70 percent chance of above normal precipitation for the three month period from between december and february, if you look from january to march, it increases between 60 and 70 chance of above normal precipitation, does this mean it's going to rain? no. does it mean it's going the rain heavily? >> no. >> [inaudible] this is an actual change in what they're projecting at the national weather services, we won't go to the bank on this, it does give a certain amount of hope that we're going to see some precipitation above normal in the coming year. and then last but not least, i want today touch on the state water board regulatory

actions. this last spring, they adopted various regulations for water conservation as they did also in 2014, those emergency conservation regulations are set to expire in february of 2016, so the state board has done some outreach talking to us and other water agencies and non-profit organizations about what actions the state may take regarding potentially permanent regulations so they're trying to decide what they should do next, and there's a lot of con stern -- consternation in the swatted community that they're being aggressive on this. we're taking a wait and see attitude, a lot of the things they put in place are not hinging that are a challenge for us, we're going to take a look that the and see how that progresses over the next few weeks and make a comment

on that. regarding diversion curtailments, we will continue to do those. any questions? >> something was announced the other day about the water rights, did that pertain to us at

here for the update on the program. can you bring up the slides, please. today i'm present a program and project specific update and i'm going the talk to you about where we are with the state resolveinging fund and [inaudible] projects are beginning to move into design and we have several prompts ob the cutting edge going into construction at the southwest plant. this is how we feel it's going to be going. on the green infrastructure side, there's a lot of interest on how we're delivering these projects, this graphic just depicts right now we have sunset, we have holloway and mission valencia almost in construction, by mid to next year, we will have all of the projects in construction. then after that, we'll be hoping we get some of that wet weather that mr. ritchie describe sod we can monitor the performance and see how effective we are at removing stormwater from the system, we will be monitoring for a

three year period after the projects are installed. right now, there's 68 projects that are moving forward, you can see this is a graphic i show at each quarterly report, the blue portion is getting bigger each time, more and more projects are going into design and our light blue will be getting bigger too and our spending will be increasing. so, on a program status, i wanted to highlight, we go on a quarterly basis to the revenue bond oversight committee and i present what projects are doing, how we're forecasting, we gave them an update on state revolving fund work, we are developing rfp's for construction manager because we're going the need those construction managers in place to provide special inspection as we begin to move forward. we have initiated architectural design guidelines to other project that is are planned for o*ut

east, we have consistent approaches on how we're handling the perimeter setback and is the like. we did have a board of supervisors presentation at the land use and transportation committee and i was accompanied by waste water urban watershed management program folk and is we talked to them about urban water policy, the stormwater design guideline, how effective those have been and i gave them an update on the early water implementation programs, there's a lot of thought of where we're going to go with a green water, we were sandwiched with some items that had nothing to do with green infrastructure, so it was hard to be heard at that time. we are continuing our effort on flood resiliency, we're looking at this citywide to see what areas are going to be challenged with we have larger storms or even when we have our own design storm. that data was requested by general manager kelly and that will help to inform as to what projects we may move forward with in termser of

flood resiliency. we did issue our annual report that went out this summer and it's online, you can check it out there, there's the link, it covers all of the accomplishments from the pascal dar year across the board, all the major things, all the heavy lifting and the timeline, that's a nice document that staff pulled together. on the state revolving loan funds side, we're work witching the board and we're looking to obtain 1.5 billion dla*rs over the next five years, the highlight there is the interest rate, it's half of our ben bond obligation rate, it's [inaudible] and that is annually over the 30 year term, so it's a large amount of savings and it's

really a wonderful thing and alexandra is here today in the audience sitting in and she's been steam rolling this, done a great job. we were designated as a frequent [inaudible] from the state and we have a capacity of [inaudible] for the rest naufnlt some quick preconstruction highlight, the head works project, the head works is where all the flows converge to the plant and our challenge there is to make sure they come in but we manage the grit, that we pull the grit out tha,'s important to the success of our [inaudible] project, we're in the process of completing the conceptual engineering report, we issued an rfq which is a request for qualifications to pull on a project manager general contractor, and that was issued early september.

the central bay side central improvement project is where you would have seen a red dot, commissioner caen, that was only dot in the sip report this time, we had the discussion about the size of that tunnel and where we with want to move forward with that, we're studying that now, discussing it with the executive team and will be returning in the fall to bring that to you for decision. the biosolids project is moving rapidly, we are in the phase of completing the conceptual engineering report, environmental review is under way ask that will be complete by june, 2017. on the green infrastructure side, sunset boulevard greenway began construction in august, that as unique delivery, it's being design and had built by the department of public works, the job training program, holloway green streets is on your calendar today for

approval for award, that will be our first project to receive state revolving loan funds, that is requested today. mission valencia, we expect that to start mid october, november, we had three individuals go through our four section course for green infratrucker cheer training so we've had 25 companies represented and it's basically four module ins this training class, so it's quite a commitment when you go to that, but our plan is we're going to be certifying these contractors and there will be a precertification requirement when they do our future infrastructure work so that jobs will go smoothly as possible, on urban watershed assessment, they're the leaders in flood resiliency, as we bring all these questions and answers forward to you, we will be laying out our capital program on what we want to do on the green side as well as the flood

control side. current projects wrapping up the digest tor roofs, we have 8 digesters currently operational, and numerous upcoming projects, that list will continue to grow. now i have an exciting slide about local workforce, i'm going to have to read it because it has so many interesting pieces of information. as you know, we worked very hard to provide small business and job opportunities to san francisco residents and particular those from the southeast community, i want to give you a report from the ssip world, out of those 328 million dollars that have been awarded on ssip prime contracts, 112 million have been awarded to subs, nearly half of that amount or 48% have been awarded to local san francisco lbe's, so we've been doing a tremendous job. in addition, san francisco businesses have also served as prime contractors on five

of the six projects that we have awarded to date, representing over 30 million dollars. local hire, a quick update, san francisco local hire ordinance requires percentage of workers on each of the projects be residents of san francisco, so through 2015, the range is 20-30% depending on what date we're advertising, so through june, 2015, san francisco residents have worked more than 40% of all the hours on the ssip projects, exceeding the requirements. what this mean iss we have 120 san francisco residents who have worked on ssip projects earning a widened 2.5 million dollars in wages, out of those hours worked by residents of san francisco, the highest presentation was district 10 represents bayview hunter's point and [inaudible] valley, the

mission, district 9. so, we have spent a lot of time listening to communities, working with the community and certainly appreciate all the public comment and we understand the urgency to pull in as many small businesses as possible, so as a response, we have really put our feet on the ground at our contractor's assistance center in the bayview hunter's point community and that's where it's a meeting point for contractors to come in. we have hearings there, we have bid openings there, we recently had a call for action where we were talking to the community and the contractor community about the construction management opportunities na will be coming up and that was standing room only. so, we really try today make use of that venue to pull people in and have it be a place that contractors use. stakeholder engagement, the summer usually is slow but we were still quite busy because we're doing a lot of community meetings to talk about the flood water grant

program that was approved at the commission. we also were lucky that our interns put on a beautify the bayview shar ret process, it was swooped by the ssip, they had the community come and they went door to door to make sure they had great attendance and they developed concepts for how the communities could be beautified, looking at the southeast plan and the corridor around there. on august 21, our sewer rap video received a reward from the california association of sanitary west, thank you, and we were honored with an amazing glass trophy, you can see on the bottom, agm [inaudible] and abrams went down to receive that report, we had 47 thousand hits on the video now, that has taken us a long way, that's one of ways we try to reach people

and make sewers sexy so that we keep up with our enterprise. >> sadly, the summer ended and we said good-bye to our 21 students would went back to high school or college and hopefully they will return after their lives away from us next summer. that concludes my report. >> yes, you have a question? >> so, i just want to thank you for your report, and it is real exciting, but i wanted to make sure we place enough emphasis on the data points about local hire and about the wages going into the community because then the small businesses and the local businesses start to get a kick back for lack of a better world as a result of that, it's really impressive, the work that you're doing and tommy and laurie and i know harlan is all over this stuff, we had all those

kings about local hire and underemployment and overemployment and i think it's really important to stress those points because that's getting it done, i'm just honored to be here and i would like to keep us talking about it. i did send a communication out in the green infrastructure certification. i would like to know a little bit more about that. there's a big difference between those -- you know, we refer to those construction industry jobs, especially for the building trades as seasonal work, there's a big difference between those position and is those maintenance type of positions so i want to flush that out a little bit more when time permits. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, madam chair, any public comments? seeing none. the next item, please. >> item 9 is a bawsca update.

>> nicole sandkulla, i had two things i wanted to talk with you today, i did want to update you on water use characteristics in the s*frs area to give you a sense of what's going on and update you on discussions i had with my board about the tunnel. so, first, this was a slide we pulled together for the board last week, they are interested in what it means on a per capita basis, so this is a comparison of july, 2014 per capita data to the most recent yule data, we are in the misleading of a drought but it's a comparison of what the state board used

those numbers to assign the targets so the reduction that we're seeing on a per capita basis is significant just as we were already in the misleading of -- middle of drought. . inger is that saying that hills pro didn't use any water? >> i forgot to comment about that, i believe they had a data error, they submitted overall consumption data but not a per capita data as of when we pulled this off, so good catch. >> sea hills burrow on this, they're having great success this last month exceeding their target, in fact, all the agencies exceeded their targets, both in june and now also in july, so this graphic shows both those numbers, it shows the july number and then also the cumulative number, the cumulative number is in blue and the july number is in yellow, and their target is in green, and what we're seeing and what we

expect to see which is they're exceeding their target in these summer mothers because we know it's the opportunity for them to do that, overall, their target is 15% from the state, so they're basically doubling that in july. and in fact this is the trend that we've continued to see for the last several months, the 32%, 33% and 31% for those last three month and is we ant pate the august data to be coming out very shortly, so this is a really good picture but as we've been telling everybody, it doesn't mean to sit back and do nothing because in a service area like this where you have per capita that is low in the winter, it's hard to achieve a significant save rinsing the winter, this is exactly what we want to see. a different way of looking at it is if we were to -- the state says you have to save so much basically from june through the following

february, we have a target savings, a volume savings for that overall period, if we were just to add up that's your savings target as a total volume and add up how much agency saved for june and july and created a percentage, that's what this graph is showing, as a group, the agencies have akhao*efd over 57% of the total savings they have to achieve by february, so again, very, very significant with some agencies already exceeding their overall target, that would be north coast, and this really reps just the june and july data, essentially only 25% through the period of savings opportunities, so really seeing a response if you will in the community to the call and knowing that we're going to achieve the state target which is very good. so, that's what i have on the conservation data and the demand data. and i think it's a good picture. i did want to -- i also provided to the district

secretary and you each have i think a copy of a statement i gave to my board last week. they wanted an update on mountain tunnel and to see where things were at. i was able to really provide them a description of the progress you've made and i think there's been a lot of progress. you've adopted a schedule and a plan, parallel processes to deal with both increasing access to the tunnel, doing repair work and section and repair work and then also a potential bypass project if in fact that seems to be necessary following the inspections and those are a very good thing, and then i did call out from my board the one thing that we're continuing to work on is this question of in an unplanned outage beyond 90 days, is there more that can be done on the supply side to increase the

ww-490 with a non-compensable time extension of 60 consecutive calendar days and authorize the modification tos the contract. >> c, award contract number ww-579 in the amount of 849 thousand 750 to the lowest,

qualified, responsible and responsive bidder, an vil builders. d, approve modification number 2 to contract number ww-592. erkts, approve contract number ww-609r in the amount of 5 million 591 thousand 892 dollars. f, authorize a letter of agreement with the california water service company. >> did you want to take 10f off? >> [inaudible]. >> well, we'd have to take it off if you wanted to discuss it. >> i just wanted to let you know i was speaking in support of it, that's all. >> good. >> commissioners, any item to be taken off the consent calendar? >> i'll move approval. >> second. all those in favor? >> aye.

welcome to the 311 calling center i know that our director nancy welcomes me usually we get to announce another great tool if not a modification of our 311 center the public and residents like to see you know when we first created the 311 center we were here for that start we wanted a tool that lifts the burden off all the vacuums of calls going to 9-1-19-1-1 is for real emergencies life or death and whatever it happening on the street currently that will be of the emergency nature needs to be called through to 911 we'll get an immediate fire and police and department of emergency response on that on to day to day basis we have a lot of other calls we have tried

to direct those now thousands everyday that come to 311 and we're glad because their calls for information, for refers for how to do this and that of the various departments of the city. as you may know we've been active in helping our people on the streets particularly our homeless population to get the services they need a challenge because we not had all the hours housing we want we're building that as soon as possible and rehabilitating affordable units as much as possible but things happen on the streets our residents say should i call 9-1-1 or small business i see somebody they don't look healthy we've had a few instances on the street if we had an earlier call

appropriate there can have been a health check, if you will, or check on someone that may have not looked at not an be able they doesn't see something happen that is an emergency often myself i've made calls to 311 someone is not necessarily in a door front but passed out and needs help those are things that happen on the street we're very congested city we want to make sure that if it is not a 9-1-1 call but perhaps there could be a health check or care check on someone maybe 356 can do something about that over the past weeks 36 through the leadership of flabs our city administrator that oversees it w

the putting and police department and public works department and hot team through dpevenz combevenz hope program to you work tot to respond to what neighbors are telling you there should be an act perhaps something a little bit more modern use people don't have to the time to make the call but can actually with their footprints r fingertips simultaneously complun with 9-1-1 and not try to figure out who's responsibility but 311 will figured out for the residents for someone that seize something on the sidewalks we should be able to respond to in this app we're excited in the past fewq weeks to see whether

or not to develop an app to low people to scroll through a push bum efforts something on this street or particular intersection you need to see and someone should check on this individual ear r we care about the people on the streets and make sure it is not an emergency but ought to being sure to follow up on someone that is in need of help a care arrest health check followed up we created the 3:11 a.m. and i know that nancy will pop up it on the details i want to lead this effort by saying a big thank you to her team working with all the other departments they want to also be able to get to where

someone suggests to us there might be something that is happening with someone we care about i believe that this is an infection of combpgs of the city having a deeper compassion to people on the tree we want to provide it to the right agency to follow up with this is why all the departments here are working together 0 so they can be part of it in the meantime we do what we do everyday the dpw and the hot teams visiting encampments of people on the street we assist them more and more and getting them into places like the navigation center or referring the services to the shelters we have or inviting them to the latest project homeless connect program we have all the services housed on a quarterly basis in different parts of city and

while we work on short term and long term answers to getting temporary and more long term housing we're focused on ending chronic homelessness for the veterans by the end of this year we've been focus on the transitional aids youth and more and more getting the data together to respond to more of our families and youth being homeless through the school district and food for thought creative ways to tackle this challenge a housing crisis in the city we're trying to build and stabilize neighborhood as we're doing these so a lot of people from the development and the business segment to the nonprofits they're all collaboratively with our city agencies to do better and barbara garcia and i are working diligently with interpreting moreno has has as we introduce

trying to figure out the mental health and challenges happen on the streets in the meantime we ought to make sure that the things happening on the streets can be respond to we've done with the 311 app to invite the people the people that walk our streets an ability to communicate request city services that do care and will respond to situations on the street and particularly to people who might be on the street in need of something may not be a 9-1-1 situation i want to distinguish between 9-1-1 and 311 9-1-1 will continue to be the number everybody calls if there are a true emergency if something something is happening whether a public safety issue or

health issue but 9-1-1 is where it may not but in your mind someone ought to follow up with something and persons on the streets we don't know all the time whether in immediate need or not but if it appears to someone that someone is in need that they don't look like they are comfortable at all perhaps this is where the 311 health check ought to be had with that, i'd like to introduce over the course our director of 311 nan o'farrell to go over the details >> thank you, mr. mayor for your asking to implement those changes all of us can make a differences by reporting streets events at 311 we're looking at improving ways for the public to connect with government over 50
