we interviewed kaci is an exfinancial officer remarking about the remedy for the '08, '09 financial crash. a remedy government undermining auto loans and mortgages, the advantage to keep people in their homes, to stabilize the community and stabilize even the banks. and far far cheaper. less debt, bring our government back home. that's kind of that wha what wee trying to do here now. far healthier outcome for the communities, less costly and more efficient. smart government. instead we got the banks who

have a lot of dollars. they kept their bonuses and brought back their stocks and starved, villages, towns, citizens, homelessness as part of the syndrome. where do we find dignity homes? who can support them? sba 27, the resolution, statewide coverage of california's remedy it for denser housing. it should be shipped out of the state completely. i wouldn't mind bringing, signing a recall. the wrong direction completely. we need to take responsibility in our own neighborhood and our own communities. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> this is some of the...

>> clerk: can you speak directly into the microphone? >> okay. i need to pick up this image if you place it over here. >> clerk: if you place it under the projector, we should be able to pick it up. >> okay. >> clerk: i will start your time. >> this is just some of the, this is what some of the housing looks like for six as a construction worker's, temporary construction workers and temporary housing in oslo, norway. they can house 6,000 constructor -- construction workers. we should be able to house 6,000 or 7,000 homeless individuals just as easily. but i wanted to talk on the food

service contract. the food service contract includes bottled water, card milk that is calorie dense, and inmates are physiologically incapable of digesting it and jails do not provide water fountains given that san francisco has a high rate of tuberculosis relative to the rest of the nation. so, yeah, it would seem obvious that they would do that, provide water as an option but i am not sure that they actually do. >> clerk: thank you for your comments, sorry. next speaker, please. >> thank you madame clerk. president breed, ladies and gentlemen of the board, i am an involuntary psychiatric outpatient in this city and have been for ten years. more than ten years. i am getting tired of the hypocrisy.

i heard about of course the man who was tortured at the airport. we have all heard about that. i don't want to minimize anybody else's suffering and i am to become homeless and less than four years, by the way. but i have been tortured for more than ten years. i have been treated with sodium cyanide and nonlethal doses. i have been treating with asthma inducing substances. i've been reduced to lying on the floor of my rent-controlled unit, gasping for breath for hours because of my political activity. supposedly protected by the constitution. and you are funding this. you are paying over a million dollars a week to citywide case management community focus. to do this to me! and i have had enough!

madame clerk. >> clerk: thank you, sir, keep your comments formal. next speaker, please. next speaker, please? >> just wondering if we have a coram. >> clerk: reducer, i am beginning your time now. >> thank you. i guess i am wondering what y'all are going to do about solutions? i think somebody needs to call for a hearing as to what is the city going to do regarding a solution? i think we can start by putting more toilets in our communities. >> hello, hey, everybody, how is it going. they were talking to somebody else. >> clerk: this is your time,

sorry. >> all right but i am just, maybe we could bring more toilets into the community. more sanitation like leaning into the community. we need more solutions. i am asking that y'all actually do something to get to some solutions to deal with some of the problems in our community. it seems like a very violation that the city voted for as the sweeps and no housing. so, the lawsuits are coming, especially when they come from me. i have already filed and i'm hoping you know. but, i guess i am just wonderi wondering, the sweeps, the lawsuits, it just seems like there's no protections for the homeless when they go to these service providers and get abused.

the committee, the local homeless coordinating board, they aren't doing enough i mean it is overwhelmed by service providers. i mean we go to these areas and we get abused and it seems like, you know, this body and everybody else is apathetic. and when do we get to the compassionate san francisco that is in the manuals and in the advertisements for the people? >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. are there any other members of the public would like to address the board? please line up to your right. >> do we have 20 minutes or three? >> clerk: you have two minutes and if the lady next to you would like to speak she has two minutes as well. >> you can speak. >> we are here because we run a homeless dinner and have done for 15 years in chinatown, north beach and in the financial district.

we know the budget is coming up soon and that all of you will make those important decisions on how to spend our city's resources. we are here to recommend highly that those resources be spent on the short term rental office and on any enforcement unit, for instance within the city attorney's office second closer look at the by outlaw that you yourselves passed in 2015 and was put into effect of march of that year. here is what is going on for us to see about 100 people a month. some of them the same and some of them different people from those three areas of the city that i mentioned earlier. many people are being bought o out, "if we looked at the federal fair housin housing lawd the requirement that people be accommodated, those people would not be able to be evicted. they have sometimes mental disabilities, sometimes alcoholism, other problems, but right here in the city, we are talking about spreading or giving more latitude to the conservancy loss, but what we are effectively doing by allowing these people to be pushed out onto the street, as

we are on conservin and conservy people who are already inside and deserve our help, to serve our assistance. they can be given that help, if with the city's attorney's office and with the short-term rental office in other ways of enforcing the laws that we have, making sure these people are not being pushed out. we know of a couple in north beach who, in 2016, at they are in their seventies, were pushed out because they were quote a nuisance. they were then bought out. even though it was 2016, it is still not registered, legally as required by law. they are not registered as having ever been bought out, why? because the owner, who we know of, has avoided the law. so again, it seems there is no easy enforcement mechanism to help find out where are those buyouts being done illegally and pushing people out who deserve to be inside? thank you so much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. madame president? >> supervisor breed: thank you either any other members of the

public would like to provide public comment at this time? public comment is now closed. madame clerk, please read the items for adoption without reference to committee. >> clerk: i teams 18 through 22 are being considered for adoption of that committee reference. we will call the vote now. [roll call] >> supervisor cohen: i just want to speak to you about item 18. >> supervisor breed: supervisor fewer? [roll call] >> supervisor breed: no other concerns of the remaining items. madame clerk, please call the role. [roll call]

>> supervisor breed: those items are adopted unanimously. madame clerk, please call item number 18 [roll call] >> supervisor breed: supervisor tank we. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. i know there are concerns. i do want to make sure that colleagues have also seen the letter that came from the animal legal defence fund which has been very supportive of sb 1024 and i wanted to make sure we are all away -- all aware of some of the corrections that they wanted to address. one of them is that there was a

concern that it would significantly increase fines associated with the various cruelty offences. and to be a lgf wanted to point out that it does allow for a find to go up to $2,000 versus $1,000. however, it would still be up to the discretion of the court in terms of imposing whatever level of the. the idea behind the increase was to allow for more funding to actually enforce sb 1024 if it were to pass. secondly, there was a concern that fb 1024 imposes a mandatory mental health treatment and that the treatment provider could have the power to send someone to jail for failing to comply with the treatments. i wanted to clarify that sb 1024 actually imposes mandatory mental health evaluations, not treatment. for only at specific types of crimes. and those are the crimes that are most associated with underlying behavioural disorders. and when i first introduced this

particular resolution talk i noted there was a study that found that and 90 % of the cases where there was an on-campus shooting, that the person who committed the crime had a history of animal cruelty and abuse. so those are the two main points we wanted to point out. again, this was a resolution to support sb 1024. i know colleagues have concerns. like a it is fine if you are not in support of this but i wanted to at least set the record straight for those two main points. >> supervisor breed: thank you supervisor. >> supervisor fewer: i agree animal abuse is a serious issue and this is a well-intentioned effort to provide mental health treatment for the perpetrators of animal abuse. but i would not be able to support this resolution in support of sb 1024 because i am concerned about the implications it would happen -- have on the criminal justice system. this bill would allow an increase in fines in the criminal justice system which are already to be too high and devastating to low income communities.

this would also give mental health care providers the power to decide if someone should go to jail for not complying with this mental health evaluation requirements. judges can already require -... and they have authority to revoke someone's parole if they do not comply. i'm concerned about handling just handing this authority over to a mental health care provider especially when we do not allow this for any other criminal offenders including child abuse and domestic violence. those are the reasons. i must devote no. >> supervisor breed: thank yo you. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: i will not support this item today. i remain concerned about the broad language in senate bill 1024. it contradicts the legislation the president to breed and i introduced and sponsored amending the ministries of codeo abolish criminal justice fines and fees. senate bill 1024 where to add access fees including $2,000

fine into many offences. this 2,000-dollar fine is higher than the existing $1,000 fine for animal mistreatment. in response to the letter sent by a lgf, which supervisor tang referenced like the key thing is fines and fees are different. it is fine fine is in the judge's discretion,, but the fees are mandatory. the difference between these two are quite frankly worlds apart. and the fee and california is added on top of the fine. if the judge says define as $1,000, fees are automatically assessed that increase it to four times the level. four times greater than $1,000. i am uncomfortable supporting this bill.

i'm uncomfortable supporting the bill that finds and adds fines to people navigating the criminal justice system and i just wanted to go on the record because i object is something that could potentially send more people to jail by compounding their dad to the court system. and so with that, i hope you will join me in voting know against this measure. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you. seeing no other names on the roster, madame clerk, on the item, please call the role. [roll call] >> supervisor breed: if you want to talk, you have to put your name on the roster spee so -- >> supervisor peskin:, that is tantamount to having been sent to committee. >> supervisor breed: second appearance, supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: my back. >> supervisor breed: thank you. i see no other names on the roster. madame clerk, please call the role. [roll call]

>> supervisor breed: so the resolution fails. madame clerk, please read the in memoriam. >> clerk: yes the meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor trent four, on behalf of supervisor peskin, and mr lee radner.

>> supervisor breed: colleagues cactus brings us to the end of our agenda. madame clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> supervisor breed: we are adjourned. thank you, everyone. [♪] .

>> i'd like to call this meeting of the san francisco public utilities commission to order. it's tuesday, may 8, and i just wanted to start with a couple of announcements. first, for those of you that did not hear, our former colleague and counselor noreen ambrose was nominated to the ethics commission. on behalf of all of us, obviously, congratulations to her. our general manager now in the house. pretty good stalling, right? and then to our colleagues at sfgtv for being recognized for

the sixth year in a row, for being nominated for a california emmy, working behind the scenes for making us look really, really good, right, harlan. i think they'll find out june 2nd to see if they won any of those awards. and finally, thank you, donna for sending me this beautiful invitation, and yuljulia ellisd her team for this award. this is for the 2017 golden pride awards. that concludes my announcements. madam secretary, will you please read the roll. [roll call] >> clerk: we have a quorum. >> thank you. next item, approval of the

meeting minutes of april 24, 2018. colleagues? >> i'd like to move approval of the minutes. >> second that. >> it's been moved and seconded. is there any public comment on the meeting minutes from april 24, 2018? hearing none, it's closed. i'll call for a vote. all those in favor, signify by saying aye. all opposed? the ayes have it. next item, [agenda item read] >> thank you. i have one speaker card. francisco de-costa, please approach the front. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, commissioners. so you may have noticed that i do not come to this meeting, and i haven't come for a long time, and that's because i'm very busy at ground zero. but commissioners, you need to

pay attention to people who come here and give public comment. because if you do not pay attention, then, you go into this land where more hallucination takes place, and you don't want to go there. for your information, in the late 60's and the early 70's the original water board participated in some mitigation measures from which the san francisco public utilities commission derives a lot of income. the sewage fees that we pay. now, in the year 2018, when the

sewer system improvement project is being addressed, we see a lot of confusion. and you commissioners, have to pay attention to the confusion. why is it that tony flores had to retire? why is it that karen kubic is going to retire, and i can go deeper. commissioners, you are there because you represent the people, and what we see is lack of representation. what we see on the side are ploy ploys, machinations, and s shenanigans, and it's going to come to a stop. and it's going to come to a

stop like our president. our president is saying oh, i had nothing to do with the russians. well, you did. and it will be said, it will be done, and it will be exposed. so right here in our back yard, we have the same type of ploys, machinations and shenanigans, and there are certain city people involved in it, and let them do it. there are some people that were trained -- and that's my public comments. thank you very much. i have to go to the board. >> next speaker, renee anderson, please come to the front. hello. good afternoon. >> hello. good afternoon. greetings to the commission, general manager, and secretary. my name is renee anderson, a former employee who now lives in southern california.

i wouam shifting my career to shoreline, and any assistance you can provide would be great. >> thank you. are there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [agenda item read] >> clerk: there were a couple of changes to the update that was in the packet. on page two, number five, and page two, number two at the bottom were both revised. copies were mailed to the commission yesterday, and there are updated copies on the table for the public. >> thank you, donna. colleagues, is there any discussion on the item? is there any public comment on

communications, including the amended communication? hearing none, public comment is now closed. madam secretary, next item, please. >> clerk: item six is other commission business. >> colleagues, is there any other commission business? hearing none, the item is now closed. madam secretary, next item, please. >> clerk: item seven is report of the general manager. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i want to -- actually, our first item is cleanpowersf. >> thank you. today's clean power update will quickly cover our enrollment and service to customers and do a little work ahead, but we're going to spend a little more time taking a deeper dive into our power supply portfolio and projected enrollment.

on enrollment, it's the same story. 98.8% of the customers that we provide service to are opting out, and we're proud of the fact that our opt up to super green rate exceeds that at 4.2% of our customers. our power source disclosure report for 2017 is coming due. this report is required to be filed with the california energy commission after your review and approval. you'll find the cleanpowersf power disclosure report as well as the hetch hetchy report are action items 8 a and 8 b on our agenda. i was really pleased that we were able to obtain a 47% california green product with our service, and it's 100% carbon free, so really happy to

be able to celebrate that with you. looking ahead this week, we will begin mailing our enrollment notices for the july 2018 enrollment. that enrollment will increase that customer count from the 81,000 i just report today about 105,000. we're adding mostly commercial accounts this round. also very pleased to report that gm kelly has signed the master agreements and confirmations that build the power supply portfolio to serve that growing customer base. to walk you through the portfolio and the projected pro forma, i'll ask mike himes to come up, and as he does, i'll ask to publicly thank and recognize him and the core team for getting us to this point. thank you to the city attorney's office, and thank you to the power staff, the core staff that worked on these supply contracts: randall

smith, erin mulberg, and mike himes. mike. thank you. >> thank you, barbara. >> thank you, barbara, and good afternoon, commissioners. mike himes, director of cleanpowersf. it is a great pleasure to be here with you this afternoon to share some of the work we've been doing over the past few months to build a power portfolio to complete enrollment in cleanpowersf citywide. i've got just a few slides -- four slides, exactly, that i will run through quickly with you. this first one is a chart that shows how or portfolio looked before we started our recent contracting effort a few months ago. of course this really kicked off with rfp's that we issued in the summer and fall of 2017, but we began signing contracts after obtaining authority from the board and from this body in

the early -- or the winter of 17-18. so this chart shows cleanpowersf's annual projected demand and contracted supply over the next 12 years. the back line on this chart represents our projected annual energy demand given our citywide enrollment plan today. this line's plotted against the left side y objection i say in megawatt hours of energy. you can see we're projecting about 1.2 million megawatt hours in 2018, jumping up to about 3 million in 2019 and 3.7 million in 2020. the bars on this chart at the bottom represent contracted energy supply in megawatt hours, which is also plotted against that left side axis. the orange dotted line represents the percentage of our projected demand that's now under contract, and that we've

identified the percent for each year, and that's against the right side, y axis. you can see from this chart when we started our contracting effort, we were 37% contracted for our plan demand, this year, 2018, and that's counting for our up coming july enrollment. in short, there was a lot of work that we had to do a few months back. and this is what our portfolio looks like now after our recent power contracting effort. the blue bar segments represent the additional energy we've contracted for since february , given the authority delegated to the general manager. you may recognize the laddered shape of this portfolio and the contracting effort from presentations we've given over the past six months or so, and that is one of our risk management strategies and staying with the market as prices changeover time and as technology costs decline.

you can see along the dotted orange line here that we're 98% contracted for 2018, 90% for 2019, 71% for 2020, and so on, until the portfolio plateaus at 20% contracted forward through 2030. those longer term contracts in the portfolio were just recently executed by the general manager and include two main contracts, a 22-year power purchase agreement with the developer s-power to take energy from a 2(a) constructed 100 megawatt power plant in lancaster, california, and another to take power from a wind power project in tehachapi, california. these represent the first two long-term contracts that we've

entered into, and it's just the beginning, but very strong start for the portfolio, and these -- both of these projects will deliver new jobs to the state of california and clean energy, and we are going to be working on more to come on-line in the next several years. in addition to those two contracts, the puc entered into a 4.5 year agreement with cal pine to purchase energy from the facilities geothermal facility in alpine, california. that actually started delivering energy to the cleanpowersf program earlier this month. the energy portfolio work for 2018 is largely done, but a lot of additional work still needs to be done to round out our portfolio for 2019 and 20 and we'll be conducting additional solicitations and keeping the commission informed of all of our actions as we do that.

this slide, number four, summarizes our projected 2018 power content, so as gm hale indicated in her comments, before you is your 2017 power source disclosure report which under lies the power content label for the cleanpowersf. this is what we think the program will look like this year, given the contracting work we've done. of course this will get settled this time next year when we have all the actual deliveries for the program over the next seven, eight months yet to come, but given the contracting work, these bar charts summarize what we're expecting. on the left side are the major resource categories, so at the bottom in green is renewable energy? the blue segment represents ghg

free hydro purchases, and the top gray segment represents conventional purchases which, for the most part, our system grid energy that we're planning. if you move to the right bar, what you can see in the multiple segments that are color coded are the different contracts that we've entered into to makeup this portfolio. and that's about 13 different contracts that we've entered into, and that's also part of our risk management strategy is to diversify our supplier base to mitigate any risk associated with individual supplier failure. i'm going to pause here for a minute, did you have any questions about this? >> i could. so you mentioned tehachapi. is there any data that you're able to provide based on those contracts or any requirements that we're placing related to

the jobs piece, 'cause you mentioned jobs piece? >> yeah. so we are pulling some estimates we'll bring back to the commission on specific job creation stats. we're working with the developers on that. the -- all of the contracts we're entering into require prevailing wage. that's a contractual term. the s-power solar project is also committing to enter into project labor agreements to construct those facilities. so that's the sort of general outline of the labor arrangement, but we'll be bringing more information on the specifics back to you as we gather the specific job stats. >> thank you. for people who are watching, throughout the course of this whole conversation going way back, we always were talking about jobs, and so now that we're finally starting to get to those points, i think it's probably in our best interest to make sure that we check those boxes because pla's and prevailing wage, that's good

stuff, right? >> yeah, absolutely. and we know that's an important part of the message that we deliver, and we're in the process of gathering that, so we'll give you a briefing on that, yeah. >> okay. >> can you just put that slide back up? i just want to make sure i understand. so basically, what this is saying is 81% of the additional enrollment that we're going to be doing this year will be ghg free, correct? >> that's right. so the way that we represent the energy purchases in the portfolio is all of our sales, not just the incremental customers that we're enrolling. so we look at it over the 12 months, all of the energy that we purchase and supply to our customers. so it's not just the enrolled customers, but it's the customers we're serving today, so they're all part of the same -- they're all getting served by the same body of resources. one point of clarification i do want to make so you can see it, it identifies over 48%

renewable. we have included the super green component in this chart, so this is all of the energy that the program's purchasing for all of its products. we're forecasting that our super green sales will be about 3% of total in 2018? we've actually worked our way up to about 6% -- 6-7% with the current enrollment, and we expect we'll do that, but it'll take a little bit of time after we enroll the customers to facilitate those upgrades. >> so another way of looking at it, if you look at the stacked bars, it represents all the energy that we sell. and so when you look at the combination of the green and blue, that is, you know, ghg free power. >> that's right. >> right? so that represents, you know, 80, 82 -- >> 81%. >> no, 82%, right?

>> right. >> maybe a little bit of rounding there. >> yeah. >> i think that's what's going on. >> yeah. and then, however, when you look at super green, super green customers, which is 7%, is of -- is pretty much made of that 48%, 7% of the super green is 100% in that -- >> yeah. so all of the energy that we sell to super green customers is 100% renewable. >> so if you take that 7% away, you're actually at 37%, versus 34% is for the green customers with the 19, right? >> that's right. >> yeah. >> so how many -- >> i'll make it more complicated. >> i know. it's just -- it's an odd -- i can't quite -- it seems that there's a better way to present this. rather than megawatt hours, can you translate this into

customers? >> so this is really an energy measurement? what it -- what this is saying is 48% of the megawatt hours we bought for all of our customers comes from renewables. >> right. >> so this percentage applies to every single customer we serve. >> oh, i see. >> right? >> now, one thing we did hear that i will admit may have been confusing is we took all of the energy we serve, all of the customers we serve, including both the green customers and the super green customers, so for the remaining of the year, agm hale was saying we'll have about 3% of our total sales will be super green, so the base product super green will be 45% renewable energy, but the total portfolio will deliver 81% ghg free. >> okay.

that's better. thank you. >> okay. >> i have a question. i wanted to ask you how we are determining how far out to go in the contracting. >> yeah, that's a great question. we have been reviewing best -- best utility practice in this area? we've been working closely with our other cca colleagues, working with consultants, utility consultants that are risk management experts, and the laddering that i showed before, like, like this is a shape that is -- is recommended within the utility -- the electric sector utility industry in forward contracting? and part of the idea here is we don't want to lock in too much of our supply at a given point in time given the fact that the market will move around, the price of supply will move

around, and just sort of an anecdotal point, in 2010, solar was selling for almost ten times what it is now. so we don't want to overcommit to a particular resource at a particular point in time, which is why we've structured it this way. in the very near term, we want to be procured as close to 100% as possible so we're not exposed to changing market prices every day? but we want to leave a little bit open each year to procure so that we're not out of the market, so that gives us some room to procure every year to fill the whole portfolio. >> right. is there any projection of how much of these different renewables are going to drop in price? >> yeah. so one thing that our team is working on now is an integrated resource plan that we'll be

bringing to the commission within the next two months? that is a plan that actually takes a 30-year forward look at our portfolio and supply resources -- supply and demand resources. so that plan also includes projections of technology costs. this is a plan that we're going to update every two years, and part of that, again, is because the market is evolving all the time, the technologies are evolves, so the answer is yes. the -- over the long-term, we do account for changes in the prices and the costs of the technologies that we may be wanted to procure. >> thanks. just brought back memories of year ago -- barbara's shaking her head. it was suggested that we buy these contracts moving forward, and it was -- it turned out to be a disaster. to i'm just curious about that.

sounds like you real he have a handle -- really have a handle on it. >> yeah. those contracts in the early 2000's -- trying to learn from previous mistakes. >> right. >> i do have one more slide, and that's the five-year financial projection. so this is an updated our pro forma, and this reflects the cleanpowersf's budget, and on the whole it reflects what we've been projecting about the project for the last few months. we're projecting a 10% operating margin for the program in the next two-year budget cycle each year, and that's flagged by the red box on the slide in dollars, right?

so that's 16.3 million and 20.7 million in the next two years of the budget cycle. this is net operating revenue that can be used to fund our e reserves, our financial reserves to help the program, whether through changes in market prices increasing costs unexpected unexpectedly. and i did want to say this does include a 5% contingency in our power supply line. so we're trying to make sure that the program is sufficient and has the resources it needs to pay for power costs as they changeover this next two-year period. one final comment about this is at the very bottom, you can see if the reserve target is being met, and our projection is now that it will be met in fiscal year 2023.

>> i have a question on this. how are you justifying the jump of the super green in one year going from 1.4 to 1.8? >> yeah. we're anticipating that there'll be a fairly significant jump associated with the new enrollment that we make. we actually did -- you may recall that we had set a stretch goal for the program of 5% of accounts enrolled in super green. we have -- i think we have been at 4.2%. we expect that when we conduct the next enrollment, it will dip down a little bit? but even with the next commercial enrollment, we will be able to pick up a few customers that we enroll into the super green program? so we think that number is around 3%?

it's still conservative, given -- and the big jump is -- it's due to the enrolled -- the additional enrolled customers, so it's a percentage of the additional enrolled customers. >> i see. thank you. >> commissioners? >> thank you. >> yeah, thank you. >> thanks very much. thank you for shouting out your team members by name. great work being done by the whole group. is there any public comment on this item? hearing none, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, next item, please -- oh, i'm sorry. still on my report. the next item is a water and price capital improvement quarterly report, by dan we ad >> good afternoon, commissioners. dan wade, director of water capital programs and

improvements. >> i'm here to present the water system quarterly improvement from january 31st, 2018. so the highlights for this reporting period are that we were awarded a contract for -- [inaudible] >> -- the purpose of this project is to address on an interim basis, case to note issues for the regional watershed until we are able to do a longer term solution, we have an ozone project planned as part of the new capital program, but this is an interim measure that we hope to get in place prior to the mountain tunnel shutdown that's going to take place january of next year, so we're glad that we're moving forward on this expeditiously. the emergency repair, the flywheel uninterruptible power supply at tesla is now complete

and back in service. and we have a number of local water projects under construction. we have a number of others that are nearing construction, and so we're very busy in that area, as well. and just to highlight a couple of those, this is the water project you may all have heard of, vanness improvements. i just want to highlight that although we have 14 local projects currently in construction, our forecast for the current fiscal year is ending june 30 has been reduced from about 11 miles to about eight miles, and this is primarily due to delays on some of these very large joint streetscape projects that have multiple components associated with them, not the least of which is vanness. i'm glad to say that we've made some significant progress recently on this project, and much of the water and sewer utility work is getting performed and getting in the

ground, but we do have a long ways to go, and we're committed to working with mta and public works to makeup as much time as possible and get the project back on track. >> how about the masonic? >> i'm sorry. >> how about the masonic avenue project, how is that going ? >> yeah. i don't have the details on that one today, but i'd be happy to get back to you on that. on the -- on -- the early street project is another street project. mta's not involved in this public, but public works is involved, and the water work on this is about 40% complete. i put this slide up just to show, you know, the major differences that we have between some of these local water projects, whereas, you know, vanness being a major corridor, we get into a lot of complicates with lane changes, lots of other utilities, whereas some of these other projects, although they're not necessarily easy, they do have less obstacles to get pipe in

the ground, and so we're moving forward on that one. moving onto sunol, the long-term improvement projects, the corporate yard is moving forward quite nicely. again, this project is to replace out dates facilities at the sunol operations yard. many of the buildings out there are now enclosed, and site utility work is underway. roofing is going in, and the anticipated final completion date of this project for the current construction contract is december of 2018. back to san francisco, the san francisco groundwater supply project has made very good progress. this includes water to produce and deliver an average of 44

million gal-lons perday, and recently, well, last fall, actually, we issued a notice to proceed for phase two, which is contract c, and the pipeline construction's been completed, and we've also started the construction of the north lake pump station. this is a photo of the west sunset well station, and so we've been able to go through, start-up and testing on some of the wells, and we're moving forward quite nicely. the automated water meter program, i haven't talked about in a while. this is to install meters with low frequency radio signals to collect water consumption data and transmit them four times a day from residential and commercial customers to our billing system. the phase three portion of this

work is about 61% complete. this includes about 7,000 water meter units which were either returned by the previous contractor for handling by our city distribution staff or partially installed due to the presence of obstacles that the contractor encountered, and so our cdd operations folks are continuing to install these. and i'd like to end with the southern skyline rich trail extension project. this is a trail extension that will add about six miles to the existing ten miles of trail, resulting in about a 16.5 mile trail access across our watershed on the peninsula. it's a -- the design is 95% complete. we've been able to get the encroachment permit from cal trans, and we do have a public hearing on the environmental impact report scheduled now for december. with that, i'd be happy to take any questions on the water c.i.p. >> commissioners?

>> thank you for the report. >> thank you very much. >> all right. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. general manager kelly? >> okay. the next item, dan, you can talk about the wsip now. >> so again, dan wade. i'm pleased to present the quarterly report for the water system improvement program, and this first slide shows a snapshot of where we are in the project, 86 projects, $4.8 billion, and as you can see, we have an overall completion of about 96%.

again, the largest project in the program is the calaveras dam replacement, and i'm glad to report that we're actually making very strong progress at this point. we had, you know, some slow down during the winter search as we cannot compact the clay for the core of the dam in the rains, but we are now making substantial progress. in fact, the top elevation of the dam as of last month was elevation 694, which is about 150 meet abofeet above the low foundation rock in the dam, and the top elevation will be 776, and we expect to reach that elevation late summer this year. so it's going to be an exciting year for calaveras, and we're

making very good progress. >> dan, is that where the upper spillway is -- chute? is that the -- would that be -- is that the top? >> yes. so the top of the -- if i go back to that slide. so where it says new dam access in kind of the lower center of the photo, and you look at the upper spillway chute, that's exactly correct. the top of the dam will be up to the top of that portion of the spillway, and if you can see in the photo, there's a bridge that will actually go across the spillway onto the top of the dam. and so in that photo, you're seeing the dam access, which is the dark material. in the middle, that's the core of the dam, and then, you have the upstream shell on the left of that photo, and the downstream shell on the right. >> so where were all the

fossils? >> the fossils were in the left abutment of observation hill in that photo. and thank you for bringing that up. we've had some great media coverage on fossils recently. in fact, we were able to provide the fossils to u.c. berkeley under a memorandum of understanding, and they are -- actually have students working on curating the fossils, and they'll be available to us to borrow back to display over time. this is a photo of a tour that we gave for bos, and this is from observation hill looking down into what used to be a big hole, and now, the hole is being filled up. so we excavated a hole, and we're putting the hole back -- putting the fill back, and you can see the dark material is the core of the dam.

to the left, we have the transition zone and the downstream shell. to the right, we have the upstream shell, which is the hard rock excavated from the quart quarry pit below. and then, just a photo of some of the activities that take place as the dam comes up. in the upper left, we have a bulldozer that's spreading the material ain lifts or thicknesses, layers, essentially before it's compacted. in the upper right, moisture conditioning of that lift of clay. and then, in the lower right, the track walking and continuing spreading of that material put forward for compaction. and then in the lower left, that's the import material in the transition zone between the core
