basically cases we lose jurisdiction. we have a restriction, our jurisdictions for cases last for a year. so we have a year from the time of notice to bring forward our investigations and make findings. there were a number of cases on our logs that were beyond that statute. in addition to that, my staffing had been severely restricted. we had not hired in over a year unfortunately, for many of our key positions. so many of my investigators and many of my attorneys had worked that was stacked up and their caseloads were not conducive to conducting new investigations and or closing out investigations. one of my first priorities was one to initiate staffing and hiring which is not an easy thing to do here in san francisco. i started on july 1st, my hiring

process to bring in new investigators to help ease the caseload. i will say that those new investigators, the new people -- they're not here now because they're working. [laughter] they're working. but my new investigators just came online three weeks ago. that literally is how long it takes for me to hire folks going through the list and going through the extensive background, which can take up to three or four months, my department is one of the most, if not the most restrictive department in the city in terms of backgrounds and confidential information. in addition to on going criminal investigations, we have police personnel records in the department as well. it just takes a long time to get through that. but both bringing in those bodies and addressing a policy and approach internally with our caseloads has reduces our

caseloads. the caseloads have gone down by over 36%. the hard work from my staff and many of them are here today, thank you for being here, they have been working diligently to close out cases so we no longer have a monthly caseload of cases that fall off of statue we can no longer do anything more. either holding the police accountability for misconduct and services the folks that come into make complaints. we're no longer going to be loosing those kind of cases moving forward. the vision is to increase that. i want to have more mediation and be able to refer from folks to the right agencies that have challenges and problems here in this city. please stand by.

>> we haven't voted yet. >> i know. that's why i want to make sure i'm planting that seed. >> okay. any othermen comments? okay. seeing none, supervisor stefani, would you like to make a motion? >> yes. i'd like to make a motion to approve the mayoral appointee, paul henderson, to... >> supervisor safai: it's approving the mayor's

nominati nomination. >> to the department of police accountablity, and i make that recommendation to the full board. >> congratulations, mr. henderson. we look forward to seeing you next tuesday, and we look -- congratulations to the full recommendation. [applause]. >> supervisor safai: okay. please call the next item. >> clerk: next on the agenda is item number four is a motion approving rejecting the mayor's nomination of kate black for appointment to the historic preservation commission for a term ending december 31st, 2018. >> supervisor safai: please come forward, miss black.

please proceed. >> good afternoon, chair safai and supervisors stefani and yee. my name is kate black, and i'm very glad to be here today, and i'm very glad mayor farrell has submitted for your approval application to the preservation commission. if approved i will bring over 30 years experience as a planner and architectural his toryian as a commissioner. i know how important it is to be prepared and work hard to listen to all the stakeholders and weigh it into controversial projects with competing objectives and come out at the other side with a sound decision. i love thinking through difficult issues, whether it's a large, long-range policy

decision or a small alteration to a historic structure, and i look forward to working with my felly commissioners. this summer will mark my 30th year since i moved to frisk frisk. i was then and remain now committed to this city. it's a welcoming city, the small city feel despite its size, the bay and the bridges, and the fact that it's a port city, and how the city built itself out over sea pills and do you knows, and then so optimistically rebuilt itself in 1906 and has evolved in t

the -- in particular, the shortage of affordable housing, but i also know how important it is for the city to retain its architectural identity. i would be very proud to help the historic preservation commission as it works through up coming project applications and important policy decisions to address those needs while working to preserve the city's important architectural resources. thank you for your consideration, and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor safai: thank you. miss black. supervisor stefani -- oh, that was from before. i just wanted to say, i had the pleasure of sitting with you and talking and looking at your background, you know, in the

arts. it's also an understanding of the -- you know, the work, the shape, and the form that cities take in our built-in environment and how they interact and sheer preservation advancing an evolving city, and i think that's the right balance you take. san francisco is a place where people come to enjoy the history of the environment and not just buildings, but the overall environment itself, and there's a historic nature outside of that, so i really appreciate the qualifications you bring, planning background and director. and we have some wonderful letters of recommendations from your colleagues, so we're very, very excited to support you today. any other questions, colleagues? okay. seeing no questions, we'll call you back up, but if there's anyone who has any comment on this item, please come forward.

>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is diane sid champion. i am here to support the appointment of kate black. in the last few months. i retired after a long career as a union lawyer. among my former clients are san francisco firefighters local 798, plumbers and pipe fitters local 38, and the general employees trust fund which provides health and welfare benefits for members of seiu local 87. i am also a long time resident of outer noe valley. i first met kate black in 1992 through my involvement with the noe valley democratic club. she and i worked on many issues with the club and served on the executive board together. she was the vice president, i was the treasurer. we have remained friends for

more than 25 years. i continue to see her regularly as we participate in a political book group together. having known kate for many years i am extremely proud to support her appointment. she is well suited for this decision because she loves the city and has a wealth of experience and expertise from hermanny years working as a city planner. i know personally from working with her that she will enhance the process of the committee's work. she cooperative and collaborative. she does not let her ego get in the way. she is hard working, diligent and thoughtful, open-minded, and she will give due consideration to every subject. she will be even handed to all sides in making a decision based on the evidence rather than any preconceived notions, but more than anything else, kate has the highest integrity. she will be a tremendous asset to the historic preservation commission and to the city and

county of san francisco. i hope you will approve her nomination. thank you. zach satis >> supervisor safai: next speaker. >> good afternoon. thank you chair safai and supervisors. thanks for giving me this opportunity to speak on behalf of kate. i wholeheartedly recommend her for this role as you've all already seen, i think her qualifications certainlying speaks for itself, both in her professional career as well as her education, and you know, i think it's really important to note that historic preservation is not always a straightforward conversation. it's -- it can be very highly sensitive. i strongly believe that it requires someone who has the willingness and the time to devote to every issue that

comes before them to fully evaluate it and there's no better person than kate who has the time and energy and willingness to undertake this big effort. i also want to point out that you know, in this industry, it's still very male dominant, and kate has been a tremendous role model for me. she was my very first boss out of college. she gave me my very first ever planning job. she mentored me as well as many other young planners in the public service sector, including multiple very competent planners that currently work in san francisco planning. and as the prior speaker already noted, you know, she really does lead by example. she's taught a lot of us about integrity, about work ethic, about being fair and having empathy for all sides, and i

truly believe that she will be a perfect fit for this role. thank you for your consideration. >> supervisor safai: thank you. any other members of the public wish to comment on this item, please come forward. seeing none, public comment's closed. any other additional comments or questions from colleagues? great. can i entertain a motion? >> supervisor yee: sure. i'll make a motion to go ahead and approve the mayor's nomination of kate black to the historic preservation commission with a positive recommendation to full board. >> supervisor safai: okay. so moved. seconded, and that is unanimously supported. congratulations, miss black, and we're very happy to have you serve. please call the next item. >> clerk: next is item five, is a hearing to consider appointing one member, term ending february 1st, 2019, and two members, term ending february 1st, 2020, to the

park recreation open space advisory committee. there are three seats and three applicants. >> supervisor safai: wonderful. so let's have the first applicant come forward. mr. mark -- how do you say your last name? schuyer. >> i thank you. it's mark schuyer. i'm been a member of prsac for two terms now. i've enjoyed the work i've done. we have three committees. the committee that i've been most active is one that's been renamed let's move san francisco, and we decided which six playgrounds were going to get a crack at rebuilding. i've also been very active with my park group for 20 years. i was president for ten years, and i am still on the board. i am also on the board of the

duboce triangle neighborhood association and other neighborhood groups like castro cares. i care very much about parks. i'm really what you would call a park freak. i have literally spent almost every day of my adult life in a park for at least a minute or two. i was raised in the sunset district, went to parkside, then went to sunset. now i live right across the street from duboce park. i really enjoy the park and rec system, and i want to make sure other san franciscans have a chance to really enjoy the parks as i have, to one of my goals is to make the parks even better than they are right now, and they're already pretty great. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. okay. our next -- our second applican applicant miss giselle rainer is currently out of the country and traveling. district three supervisor's office let us know that, so she'd like her appointment to

be heard at a later date, so let's call up the last applicant for district 11, mr. steve currier. >> i hope it's nothing that we said that everybody just left -- or didn't say. good afternoon, supervisors. thank you, supervisor safai for appointing me to this position. a little about me, i have lived in crocker amazon outer mission district 11 for 25 years this year, and lived in san francisco for almost 35 years. back in 1998, we started our neighborhood association, which was then the outer mission residents association, and became very civically minded, including saving the geneva

office building, and doing everything from supporting affordable housing, and building housing and parks is one of the core issues we took up. one of the biggest issues in our neighborhood is crocker amazon park, and back in 199 #, then willie brown who was brown, and elizabeth goldstein actually asked each organization to do a synopsis of their neighborhood park and assessment in light of the 2000 park bond that was going to be voted in on, and we did. the outer mission actually formed the crocker amazon park, and we happened to do a snap sis which happened to be about 20 pages. which did everything from baseball fields to baseball courts to bacci ball, and we

got one of the first new playgrounds out of the park bond for crocker amazon which is a corner of geneva and moscow, which is affectionately called the purple playground. but on that role, i was able to get funding for our baseball fields because crocker amazon actually started out as a baseball field, or many of them, almost 11 at one time, and we got the jiengiants foundation to put money up to fix three of them. we got the 49'er foundation to give us a football field. we got rec and park to give us the first skate boarding facility at crocker, and it was just a few years ago i was at the rec and park capital meeting on last wednesday when paulina was doing a presentation, and she happened to see this letter back in 2010

and saw that the 23bacci ball people who are there as much as tiny tot people were there every single day, playing bacci ball. that was their baby-sitting group. so we got the bacci ball court rebuilt at the time, and mayor lee came and did the ribbon cutting. there was another thing last week which was one of the most neglected tiny tot playgrounds in our district, and probably in san francisco. and i was so happy to see that on the agenda, and i had to go and support it. one of the things about being appointed on prsac, and i'm honored to actually be appointed. you know, we keep on saying those of us who are in politics or those of us who have neighborhood associations who advocate for funding for dpw or trash pick up or housing is

that we are one of the neglected districts. as, for instance, alice chalmer is, which was never looked at, except for band-aid issues. and being a park person and an open space person, for instance, getting open space for two of dpw's parks that we got, which was naples green and clear shape park, i think th that -- clear shea park, i think it would be good in having a person from on prsac making those recommendations to the park and rec commission. >> supervisor safai: i'm not going to have any questions. i know you very well. it's been an honor that you accepted. you've been a tremendous asset four our district for a really, really long time, and there's a lot of work to do. i think we've moved away from being treated like the

forgotten part of the san francisco. now we're a rising tiger. i think it's important to have people like you that will continue to fight for more resources, and we appreciate that. any other members -- we don't have any comments. we'll call you back up. >> okay. thank you. >> mr. currier. members of the public that wish to comment on this item, please come forward. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is sharon everhart, and i'm a 47 year resident in district 11 and a former representative from district 11 on prsac, and i have known steven for over 20 years, and i know how dedicated he is as a community advocate, what a great role he has played in getting funding for the purple playground and the other parks that he mentioned. and i know that his appointment to prsac will be an asset to

that group. he will be committed to working with the park advocates in our district to make sure all of our parks get all the funding and the care that they need and they deserve, and i want to thank you, supervisor safai for appointing steven to our wonderful prsac. thank you. >> supervisor safai: he has some big shoes to fill of yours, sharon. okay. i have no other comments. can we entertain a motion on this item? -- oh, public comment's closed. sorry. can we entertain a motion on this item? just remember, we're missing -- i mean, the one person, giselle wouldn't be part of it. we'll -- yeah, we'll continue that one. sure. share? schuyer, like tom sawyer. >> i'd like to make a motion to

move mark schuyer, and in seat 22 for district 11, steve currier for the park and open space advisory committee and move that to the full board with recommendation. >> supervisor safai: thank you. so moved. seconded. congratulations. that item is ordered. and then, we will continue giselle to a later date. >> yes. seat 16 will be continued to a later date. >> supervisor safai: great. any other items before us today, mr. clerk? >> clerk: that completes the agenda for today. >> supervisor safai: thank you. we are adjourned.

>> welcome to the march 27th meeting. we'll start off with a call to order and then roll call. >>[ roll call ] we have a quorum today. >> whiff unannouncement, item 9 will not be heard. as their c.e.o. is unable to

attend the meeting. item number 3 will be approval of the minutes from march 13th, 2018. do i have a motion? >> second. any public comment? none. all in favor. aye. >> opposed. approved. item number 4 is general public comment. members of the public may address the commission on matters within the commission's jurisdiction and not on today's agenda. so i think we have mr. warner. please come forward. >> my name is dave warner. i am a former san francisco resident and a palo alto member. thank you for you and steve richy meeting with us earlier and listening to what we have to say. so thank you very much. >> my pleasure.

>> it's an honor to speak with you today and thank you for being our commissionsers. in the nation which is a way of saying you have considerable influence beyond just your water supply and service area and you are in a remarkable position of leadership. i'm her today to ask you to revisit your policy around your drop plan of record with the particular emphasis on having a plan that meets both water availability needs and environmental needs. under commissioner moran's leadership, they adopted the longest drop-planning models in the state. i'm not here to fault him, as you have live threw a time when san francisco was supply was at a risk many were greater with. however, even in commissioner moran's own words, when drop-planning was skulled in december of 2017, he made no mention of environmental review or impact. so if you would revisit your policy regarding the drop plan of record, paying particular attention to incorporating

environmental impact, here are some ideas to consider. one, as you know, today no conservation goes towards environmental needs when it is needed other than legally required flows. instead, during a drop, all available water goes to storage. one idea is to consider allocating some percentage of water to go to the environment. this could be highly motivating for conserving water, given the 2009 san jose state survey that found that the top reason for water conservation was to help the environment. and by the way, to acknowledge a comment steve richy had made that survey was done when there was not a state-wide mandate so the results may have been different if there was a state-wide mandate in place. two, consider other sources such as your portable study coming up later in the agenda. as so many other large water districts have done, reducing pleasure allowing more water for the environment. three, my last one, consider re-evaluating the ability to purchase water during periods of severe drought.

given disparity between water for agriculture water district and an urban water district. the opportunity cost including farm worker salaries is in the four figure range. your analysis puts the opportunity cost for our urban water districts in the five to six year range. one to two orders of magnitude greater than an acre of water for greater than the agriculture director more valuable than an acre of water. note that the metropolitan water district of southern california has been buying farmland for exactly this reason. these are just three ideas. the point is to find a way to have a good drop plan and help the environment. please revisit your policy around the drop plan of record with particular attention to environmental impact. thank you.

>> good afternoon, president kwan and commissioners and staff. i'd like to reiterate that we appreciated our meeting with you last week. president kwan and steve richy. i handed you information on the value of an acre foot of water in agricultural economies. there was a study done in 2016 titled "food system multiplier for specialty food" and this is commissioned by the sack row men toe area council government and it represents six-county area. and, they said that while agriculture contributes significant value to the regional economy, specialty crops generated $2700 per acre annually and more than three times the value per acre than

non specialty crops. so we'll use that high figure of 2700 per acre and it takes about three and a half feet per acre to grow produce. the value would be the value generated from that acre foot would be $771. and then they get into the multiplier effect. that it's not just about the food produced but there's processing, there's transportation and the actual production accounts for about 29% of the value. there's another figure there to support. 11%. that might be part of that original value. to be conservative we'll use 29%. so that would suggest that the over all value of an acre foot is $2,659. so, what would happen if the bay delta plan s. e.d. were put into effect from february through june, well, the last 100 years

precipitation repeated, there wouldn't be a problem. what would happen if the design drought kicked in and we got into to a seventh or eighth year of drought. i think it would be pretty easy to buy water from an irrigation district because $2700 in acre foot, which is slightly more than what you charge your customers, which i think it's about 2200 right now. we can basically pay all the farmers exactly what they would earn if they were growing food, but they don't have to do any work. we can pay all the processers without doing work and the distributors without doing work. farmers in that drought situation, they're probably going to be limited to one and a half to two feet per acre. you can't grow a lot of crops with that. if there's a voluntary program, and they could chose to sell their water at a very high price and make the same amount of money if they were growing crops

you would get there. they say they don't want to sell water and they're posturing, everyone has a price, and with the ini remember ties there are other irrigation districts. i think we're in good shape. thank you. >> thank you. >> is this any other general public comments? >> item 5, communications. anything on communication? any public comments? forgive me. so, we have dave warner again. for item number 5. 5 did. 5d. thank you for letting me speak regarding the environmental steward ship report. this seems like a marketing document as opposed to a useful tool to help commissioner assess the impact of its environmental activities.

as you know, it's environmental damage but there's no sense of that. how are you the commissioners able to know the extent of the environmental damage, how it's changing and what impact the actions are having to remediate that damage. to be a good environmental steward, don't you need to know this. please consider directing the sfuc staff to revisit its environmental stewardship for the metrics that give you the commissioners a realistic reporting of a, the current state of the environmental damage as measured by wild life populations. b, how the environmental damage is changing overtime. and c, the impact of mediation actions on wild life populations. by having these measures, you will have a better understanding of the environmental impact of the sfpuc operations and better ability to assess whether or not further action is needed. thank you. >> thank you.

>> peter. >> hello again. so in the report on the environmental stewardship policy they say it's the policy to operate the regional water system in a manner that protects and restores fish within reservoirs and watershed lands. specifically, consistent with the sfuc's mission relesions from sfuc reservoirs will mimic the variation of the seasonal high drol gee, for example, magnitude, timing duration and frequency of their water sheds in order to sustain the aquatic and ecosystems wish they depend. so, the policy is a percentage of unimpaired flow. which is exactly what the bay

delta water quality control plant calls for. somehow this policy applies to the upper wallamy and we think it s the a few years ago, the sfuc was very generous to help with the funding of dose rios, which is 1600 acres of the confluence of the twalme and the san jaoquin. it was amazing to see the native plants at 10 feet tall. they were planted in 2013. the area is thriving. it's converted to wild life habitat quickly. to look the other way and see the san jaoquin river swollen and inundating the flood plains of dose rios. it felt like being on the bay. it was amazing. that's how that river used to be every year. and it's very, very rare now. basically, only the minimal amount of water is released from

don pedro. as recently as 1944, we had 130,000 salmon spawning in the river. last year it was 2800. we had a stretch of the numbers being in the hundreds for five years in a row earlier this century. twalame needs more water and we kneel that this policy should encourage san francisco to follow the values of san francisco 77% and and it's not any san francisco and like the policy extended into the lower twalemey. >> next we have mr. tim ikeenburg. >> good afternoon. my name is tim ikeenburg and i'd

like to echo the remarks peter made and point out the environmental stewardship policy report that you have before you doesn't address the bay delta water control plant at all. i wanted to remind you the board of supervisors have stated a resolution in 2014 which recognizes that protection and restoration of a healthy, sustainable ecosystem includes adequate water quality, outflow and water supply to support fisheries, wild life habitat and perpetuity. it also states and recognizes that the bay delta ecosystem has been in a state of chronic drought, due to current water management policies. it also wires that adequate tell da out flows to san francisco bay be ensured to support fishery, drinking water quality and other uses and finally it also requires that it be applied

as part of any solution or conclusion reached in critical planning and regulatory processes. therefore, i think that you should address this policy in the bay delta water control plan and support the state water quality plan, goal of ensuring that at least 40% of main stream flows in the rivers are maintained to restore and protect the bay's resources and communities. thank you. >> thank you. any other general public comments? next item, please. >> item 6 is other commission business. >> anything? commissioners. any public comment on item 6? next item. >> item 6 is a revenue bond oversight committee annual report and audit findings. >> good afternoon commissioners charles pearl deputy chief financial officer. i wanted to describe this item

for you. the revenue oversight committee is an oversight body that meets monthly here at the puc and reviews how the sfuc responds its bond proceeds. this report is their annual report so it's their once a year visit before you to talk to you a little bit about their activities over the past year. the current chair of that committee is robert leashner who is here and will speak to you in a moment. he was appointed in november of 2016 and has just been appointed over the past few months as chair of that body. mr. leashner leads the merchant division of point mates which is a technology and logistics company. he holds a b.a. in economics from the university of pennsylvania and is a chartered financial analyst. >> first i'd like to thank the

members of puc and commissioners and the hard work that goes as changeless mentioned they presented work and to city government and this report this year is attached and a pen dex and i'm going to go through some of the highlights through the past year. the revenue bond oversight committee itself facilitates transparency and accountability and it's revenue pond by making sure that all proceeds are spent in accordance with the authorizing bond resolution and applicable laws. in general, our abilities and jurisdiction of using new projects under construction and going through revenue bond proceed expenditures. and before going into highlights, i would like to mention members of the p.u.c. who have been instrumental to our work. this is a incomplete list and there are others i would like to

thank. charles pearl, dan weighed, karen cue bick, richard morales have been instrumental to our work. a few of the highlights from this past year, have it his first we initiated annual bond expenditure ser tive a indication process in the annual report for the first time. we've reviewed the progress of the water system improvement project and the sewer system improvement project with a particular focus on the accuracy of budgeting and scheduling forecasts. with continued tension to ensuring that the lessons learned from the wissop, which was a audit we connected two years ago is applied to the ssip. and we completed two on-site visits of projects. the first was the dam replacement project and including the alameda creek

recapture and the plant. in addition we've held monthly meetings and hearings with p.u.c. staff. we have gone through the financials of different projects. the attached and i want to read it. there's a lot of wonderful material there and over 2018 and going forward, we'll continue to provide as much transparency around the p.u.c.'s good work that we can. thank you, everyone involved. >> thank you. >> public comment on item 7? next item. >> clerk: did you want to speak on this item? did you want to speak on this

item? item 8 is report of the general manager. >> good afternoon, commissioners. first item suppose date for clean power s.f. >> good morning commissioners, barbra hail. i'll report on the success of our program. we're continuing to serve over 80,000 accounts, still seeing a very low opt out rate and seeing customers continue to upgrade to our super green 100 100% renewae service. we've also been very active in preparing forren rolling additional customers as we've discussed. the general manager is working with us to execute supply contracts and we'll continue that activity. i think at the next meeting, we'll be able to present to you more details on the portfolio of

supply that will be relying on to serve about 100 megawatts of additional customers starting july 1st. one of the key steps in being able to sign those contracts and make those commitments to our counter parties is the ability to have that credit facility that we've been working on. we expect that to close early next week and we'll finalize the rest of the portfolio and present that to you at next week's -- next commission meeting in two weeks. we are also are continuing to work with the city attorney's office developing our testimony at the california public utilities commission together with cal c.c.a. on the exit fee reforms. i'm happy to say we're coming together with the community choice agrigays community to have a strong voice at the california p.c. on that critical

issue. we're also preparing a simplified bill comparison calculator that will appear on our website to help customers during this enrollment period. understand for themselves, driven their direct experience with their electric consumption, what the bill impacted will be of our service. scorservice.we expect customere lower bills as theyen roll in our programs. so that is an annual process and we're engage in that now. that rate mailer puts side by side our rates with pg and e content so we're completing that work as well and that will be helpful as wen roll additional

customers. finafinally, we worked with staf under c.f.o. sandler to demonstrate to the controllers' office that he should receive controller certification and we were successful at that to support our additional supply. and with that i'm happy to take questions you may have. >> hi, thank you for the update. i just have a question. i know i had asked it a couple meetings ago about the build out timeline? and just wondering when we can anticipate that. >> when we get through our contracting effort here, we'll be able to spend some more time on that with you. when we bring forward the portfolio supply, you will see that we are increasing the amount of renewables that are constructed in california through our commitments. and we'll be able to demonstrate

our ability to bring in more revenue that will support some more local programming. so i don't expect this to be able to complete that work for you until the fall. in terms of the local -- within san franciscsan francisco impac. >> maybe an understanding of the steps it will take to get to that will be great. i imagine a slight assessments will be done and what the sources will be and how much will be in california versus in city versus regionally. >> so what i'm thinking of, when you talk about local build commissioner, is all within san francisco. # we havrev the preference in or contracting where we've identified local in the nine barrier countries. you will see we are making commitments for that version of local until our contracting bui. i thought you were asking about

the granular build within the city of san francisco's footprint. in that context it will be more of the kind of programming efforts that we'll insentavise, construction of renewable and energy see efficiency adoption by our customers here within san francisco. >> that's the end game but what are the steps to get there and the variations on that would be helpful? all the things we talked about it. >> sort of wrapping up back to what our growth plan identified as the potential. and we need to take it the next step for how we're going to perform the implementation. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> anything else? >> thank you. >> thank you. any public comments on this first item. next item please. >> clerk: next item is sewer system improvement program.

karen cubic. >> good afternoon, president kwan, commissioners i'm karen cubic the direct offer wastewater capitol. last meeting, i gave you the wastewater quarterly update. today we just have the brief sources and improvement program update. if you can bring the slides up please, thank you. this is a snapshot of our phase 1 projects. our 70 projects that are on going representing the $2.9 billion we've expended $508 million and our 22% complete. you will start to notice the construction phase which is shown in green will be expanding this year, 2018, because our largest projects will all be in construction. head works and bio solids and bio solids is the largest part of this pie.

back to buy owe solids again, we hit a number of milestones. we received our construction management c.n. proposals for bio solids on march 7th. on march 8th the planning commission certified the project environmental review. we were back here at the last meeting and surounded by supportive folks from bay view hunters point and we gotta approval for that item at the commission and with the leadership of john scarpula and juliet ellis we were at the board for the finance committee. we got through that and next week we'll get that if the through. so we're chugging along and with construction starting shortly on schedule. head works is in construction currently and it's a couple different phases of construction shown here by scope and this is

what the future and right now we're doing sight work and this is sitting inside and rerouting everything that the patient will function during construction. it's delicate work. here is where we look from a pie if we're looking down at our quarterly lense that ended december of 2017 and you can see we're getting everything from phase 1 out the door. so that is pretty exciting. construction projects going on. southeast clarifier project. this is going to finish up this summer. that was mechanisms in the center and electrical work that was done. the disinfection improvements

buildings 521 and 522 new electrical building and improvements to color enation. that will be done next year. and our north point out fall system cleaning out, reparing, corrosion work, specialty work, under water, we will be bringing that close out to you in may. green infrastructure, we're 50% done with our green infrastructure projects. the wiggle hall away mission valencia are complete. this summer baker beach, which is out in the richmond, will be advertising in may and starting construction in september and then we're going to look to finish the rest of sunset and that will be -- can't wait to get that done. that's done the end of 2019 beginning of 2020.

a few reports that are online that were recently put up are annual reports and our third edition of our jobs and contract report gives a breakdown of what districts the ssip jobs and contracts have gone out to and just some success stories of people that have come into the pipeline, gotten jobs and now have jobs with contractors. that's exciting in an effort to not waste paper they're all online so you can pull them up from where you are. here is just some reporting on how we're doing on the jobs. more and more projects are coming on. we're working constantly with the folks. they help us a lot with teaming, getting subs together and doing outreach at the contracts assistant center. san francisco residents have worked 32% of all the hours and that is still exceeding the requirement which is 30% that

equates to san francisco's residents earning a combined $8.6 million in wages and benefits. with regards to the a apprenticeships, we're working with contractsers, trades, union, community service providors to train for ssip projects and 66% of these hours have been worked by san francisco residents as compared to the 50% requirement. that equates to working 37,000 hours and earning $1.9 million in wages and benefits. then just a great job that our communication folks are doing. the list of things coming up is two sides of one page. in the next couple months, we have so much activity that is occurring in terms of outreach. because we want to make sure the public knows what projects are coming. we're shifting from program to projects. we have opened the southeast

construction information hub at the southeast community facility. we have two communication staff that will be there and they will be facilitating getting questions answered, if there's concerns or upcoming things the communication folks will be right there and they'll also be conducting meetings in the neighborhood so all the neighbors are current. these are stats and this is just looking so good. our list of friends used to be so short and now we have so many people that are really following us and know about us. we're very proud of the great work our communications folks have done. with that, i'll conclude my report. >> thank you, that was really terrific. a lot of great work. we have any public comments or commissioners? >> i have one comment. i couldn't be more pleased about the resolution being passed last meeting or the digester facility. and that you are moving forward so nicely through all the various agencies that we have to

touch on. and i want to commend staff and of course my fellow commissioners for pushing forward on this. we finally made it. >> we were sad you weren't here last time. >> i was too. >> thank you. >> anything else. any public comment? next item. >> clerk: so i have an item that we haven't listed. as you know, we had several incidentses where actually we made the paper. but the one that was most where we had the concern was the moccasin reservoir and dam and steve richy is here to give you an update. >> good evening, steve richy assistant general manager for water. if i can have the slides, please. i'm going to talk about the

events around moccasin reservoir and dam last thursday, march 22nd. we'll actually be living with for quite a while. this is a map of the area just to remind everybody that the water supply flows into priest reservoir from mountain tunnel and it flows down to moccasin power house and moccasin reservoir. from moccasin reservoir the water is taken through to come to the bay area. immediately downstream of moccasin reservoir and moccasin dam is the fish hatchery operated by the department of fish and wild life. so basically on march 22nd we had conventually taken it down for maintenance purposes which was a fortuitous thing to do because that allowed us to not have to deal with the fact we were trying to deliver water supply during thos these events. nearly five inches of rain fell

on march 22nd at measured with 3.1 inches in the four-hour period between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. i haven't asked stephanie harrison about three inches in four hours but it would match up with what eve seen in other places. moccasin did overflow. it's normally by passed around. we used our spill ways and foothill tunnel to dump water out of the reservoir. the dam was inspected and seep age was noted. we did activate our emergency action plan. an evacuation order was given for residentses downstream and some of the moccasin cottages because it flooded up into moccasin itself. we did make notification to the division of safety of dams. the s.o.d. arrived at the scene in the late average of march 22nd, to insect the dam along with our staff. the reservoir was as well.

there will be photos of different things and first this is a picture of moccasin reservoir that was just taken today. it's dry now because we have emptied it out but this shows the arrangements there. if you can see, that is the pipeline that carries drinking water to san francisco and it has stacks on it that you are pressure release stacks. two of those were knocked off in the event and so they've been replaced already. but that pipe that actually goes through a siphon under the pipe that cuts across the middle there of the picture and that's the pipe that normally takes the flow of moccasin creek. it normally flows in that pipe and carried out through the other side. that was not the case here. this is a photo of the moccasin dam spill way from the air. that was
