think, again back to my childhood, and when the property that i lived at just over the hill, 300 units of public housing. we were told they were going to be completely torn down and rebuilt, and only 200 units were being rebuilt, and that clearly meant that some people weren't coming back. it was important to us to make sure that we worked with a partner that would work with the residents to ensure people that the whole point of this is to make sure that you have a place to live and that this place is taken care of and i know this community had a lot of inputs in the rehabilitation process, including developing this amazing community room, which is absolutely incredible, and also double pane windows, which i actually don't have myself. so i am just so happy about the little things that will make a huge difference in the quality of life for the residents here and i want to thank bank of

america for your sponsorship and your investment and what we know has really made a difference. i saw all the work that was happening, and the scaffolding that was up, and even some of the folks who grew up in this neighborhood who worked on this project, it was really a team effort of so many amazing people , amazing city departments , and i'm really grateful to all of you he played a role in helping to not only get this project going, but get it going and moving it in a very fast pace, in comparison to how projects take place in san francisco, we know they can take years, and here we are, not too long ago, we are at a place where this, along with so many other places throughout san francisco, where we are making the investments, making the properties that are, so i want to thank the residents does the residents for their patients, and i'm excited about the future at this location and so many

other places in san francisco where we are committed to making these properties sustainable for years to come. thank you all so much. [applause] >> hey, everybody. i'm the district eight supervisor. welcome to district eight. i did nothing on this project. so it is an absolute delight to be able to land here. i'm sure i will in the future. i have some friends who work here, and live here, but i just want to say how this is such a wonderful occasion, and how grateful i am to be part of it. one of the first jobs i had as a lawyer, two decades ago, was doing a finance project, representing local governments and housing authorities around the bay area. i am painfully familiar with how

hard it is, how impossibly complex it is to put together the various funding sources to make 90 affordable -- to rehabilitate 90 affordable units , and to all the people at bridge and focus with the city and the mayor's office of housing and the housing authority, the investors, the other public partners around this, thank you so much for the hours of phone calls and document review and planning, and looking at spreadsheets, and all the work you did just to get us these 90 units. i do also want to say how pleased i am and grateful on behalf of my district that these 400 plus units are being rehabilitated around district eight, and that there are thousands more around the city. we have received, from the middle of the last century, a precious legacy, which is these units that were given to us for folks who were not going to be able to afford housing on the market, in the first task has been and is to make those units

rehabilitated and make sure they are available and that seniors and disabled folks are getting the best that our next london breed, that our next ed lee is growing up in a decent home, with a shower, and a bathtub that works, that we do not lose the cure for cancer or the solution to global warming that is happening that we might lose if that kid doesn't have a chance. so safeguarding that legacy and rehabilitating those units and bringing them into the 21st century is so important. but we all know that this city is so much less affordable than it was in the 1970s when this building was given to us. so the work of bringing on the tens of thousands of additional units of subsidized housing that we must develop over the next year is critically important, and i'm so happy that i have a mayor who believes in that, who is pressing forward and prioritizing affordable housing, and i know will be relentless along with the rest of us and in

looking for additional sources of funds for housing for middle-class and low income people, who must stay in san francisco if this is to be a healthy, dynamic, diverse city. i am grateful for what everyone has done here, and i'm eager for so much more in my district, and throughout the city. with that, i will introduce barbara smith, the acting executive director of the san francisco housing authority. [applause] >> good morning everyone. so i want to say that we at the housing authority are thrilled that 25 sanchez and other public high-rise buildings could get the improvements they needed to provide and preserve this wonderful housing for our residents. before this, i would get into bed and pray that none of our senior disabled residents in the high-rise buildings would be out without elevator service, or worse yet, be stuck in an elevator.

all too often, i would get a call during the night and scramble to get emergency service from our elevator repair company and send our duty officer take to help residents get to and from there departments and retrieve any essentials that they needed. i know how stressful this situation was for our residents, but with declining federal dollars, the housing authority was not able to do critical elevator and other modernization work at buildings like 25 sanchez. this enormous conversion effort to, over $2.2 billion in financing, for over $750 million of construction improvements required the brilliant dedication and support from an incredible team, beginning with mayor ed lee, and now our new mayor london breed, including the mayor's office of housing and community development, bridge, bank of america, h.u.d., i wish you were here.

the federal home loan bank of san francisco, freddie mac multifamily, our commissioners, our s.f. ha staff who worked very hard with this transition as well, the board of supervisors, the architects, fine line construction and others. thank you to all of you who made this possible for 25 sanchez and our other public housing residents. the results are beautiful, and a special thanks to the 25 sanchez street residents who had faith in the process through temporary relocation, and living in a construction zone. at last, you have decent state housing with community-based management and connection to services. congratulations to all of you. thank you. [applause] and now i would like to introduce liz minnick from bank of america.

[applause] >> thank you so much. i don't know how to make this taller. thank you all for having us today. it is thrilling to be here at 25 sanchez to see the rehabilitation of these 90 units in this beautiful community room , and see the light pouring in from the garden. i will continue to think. thank you again, mayor breed, for your commitment to housing, supervisor mandelman, our amazing partners, you are just really a pleasure with whom to work, and of course, the san francisco's mayor his office of housing and community development. this is found in 115 years ago in 1904 and one of the first things we have the ability to do was, followed the earthquake, help get people back in their homes. housing is of key importance to us, and when the r.a.d. opportunity came to us, we were

thrilled to be able to support the $2.2 billion in our level of financing here. that is the largest project in the united states, absolutely the largest project by far from a bank of america standpoint. we are so pleased to be able to do so in the city in which we are founded. thank you for having us today. congratulations on this amazing amazing space, and all the best part of the program, let me please introduce a resident here who will sing. [applause] >> good morning everybody. good morning neighbors and distinguished guests. is a pleasure to be here this morning. i am a resident of 25 sanchez street and i am also serving on the tenant association during the time of the renovation. it is a pleasure for me to be here today to thank all the

[applause]

>> i think we are going out front to do the ribbon-cutting now. >> here we go. >> five, four, three, two, one chair -- [cheering] [applause] [♪] . >> i love that i was in four plus years a a rent control tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for

b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day that i went to the session, i notice this unit at 616 harrison became available,

b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery. there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy

bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a bright spot in an otherwise >>. sorry i'm late.

good afternoon everyone. this is the meeting of the public utilities commission. it's tuesday january 22. roll call, please. >> clerk: vice president caen. >> here. >> clerk: commissioner kwon and courtney are excused and we have a quorum. >> good. next item. >> clerk: approval of the minutes of december 11, 2018. >> i vote approval. >> second. >> any public comment? hearing none all those in favor. >> aye. >> opposed? the motion carries. item 4, general public comment. i don't have any speaker cards. is there anyone who'd like to speak to any item not on today's agenda? next item, please.

>> clerk: item 5 is communications. >> commissioner: commissioners? >> nothing, thanks. >> commissioner: nothing? i think i have something. under 5h, pleased to see we're doing so well with the sewer inspection so congratulations on that. you know that's one of my -- and also if -- you're not going comment on the water supply are you in item 5? [off mic] >> commissioner: on the chart that shows the snow pack it seems to be less than what i hear on news reports. is there a different type of snow that creates a better pack?

a wet or dry snow? is there a correlation? >> steven richie the general manager for water. the snow water equivalent is what people care about, how much water is in it and it does vary where you are in the sierra. we actually have been doing fairly well and with this additional storm this last week, we are definitely well above the median now. so we're doing better. i think the reports you've been hearing is were not based and the latest vare but the estimates of the last storm and we got the same benefits. >> commissioner: i see. and with calaveres what do we anticipate? >> the last storm we added i believe last friday we added six feet in elevation. it came up fairly quickly for a bit. i just saw the report today that we broke 30,000 acre feet for the first time in a long time so

we're moving up. >> commissioner: that's great. >> just in time to dry out a little bit. >> commissioner: thank you. any public comment on item number 5? next item, please. >> clerk: before i read the next item can i please ask everybody to silence their cell phones. item 6 is other commission business. >> commissioner: commissioners? next item. >> clerk: item 7 workforce development policy and practices administration administrationry -- stationary engineers apprenticeship. >> good afternoon, afternoon. greg norbi assistant manager at the waste water enterprise. this is in response to a prior request for informational update on the item. cath ridge -- katherine curtis will give a brief presentation

and will answer questions after that. as a general comment because of the nature of the topic and pending start of labor negotiations there's probably certain elements of this we'd not want to go too far into public discussion today but we'll take that one step at a time based on the questions you may have. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. >> commissioner: hello. >> i'm katherine curtis the workforce liability manager for waste water enterprise. i'm giving you a presentation on our community benefit program. this is the background of the program. the deal was brokered as a mitigation to the bay view community as a result of expanding our plan back in the '70s after the clean water act passed. this is the criteria to enter

the program. you do need to be from the bay view community as is indicated by the 94124 area code. these are the components of the internship program. it's quite a bit. most is straightforward except for the learning assessment. i develop learning skills assessment for each station at the plant with the help of site supervisors. we addfide -- identified the knowledge, skills and abilities one would need to run the station effectively. this say copy of the assessments and we defined what look goods looks like and what meets standards and exceeds standards. this provides extreme clarities

for the managers and participants of the program what they're supposed to learn. we also developed answer keys so we had consistency in the testing results and we also used diagrams and maps and pictures and s.o.p.s and many other things given to the participants on a thumb drive when they enter the program. i do a rotational schedule for the participants in the program so they can experience maintenance, operations and lab and this is a copy of my rotational schedule. we have partnerships both internal and external. internally, i couldn't do it without the site supervisor and safety trainers and the community benefits staff help with the program as well.

tracking. on the top you'll see the tracking form i use in the field testing and i track the scores and comments. on the bottom say tracking for -- is a tracking for how many people have been in the program. in my 10 years leading this program we've had 22 participants that went through and four dropped for various reasons. 16 completed and two remain. out of the 16 completed, 14 are placed, two got job offers but didn't proceed and two are completing the program as i speak. so pretty good stats. key are the key to success. they're all important. there's screening that needs to take place prior to hire and the learning skills assessment has been a great addition.

we on our operations ladder of success we have people on every stage of the ladder that came from the program. it provides us a fantastic succession plan to replenish our operations and maintenance staff. 100% placement for all graduated participants in the last 10 years and that concludes my presentation. >> commissioner: fascinating. do you have questions, commissioners? >> thank you. >> commissioner: my question would be the numbers that you have, how much room is there to scale that to include more people? >> how much room is there to scale that to what? >> >> commissioner: to include more people.

>> i think there's room. it would depend how many more people. we have a lot of attrition so i believe there's room. i would have to work with my management team to decide how many more they would want to include. >> commissioner: i would say this would abe great opportunity to work with like bay works where we work with other utilities that have similar positions so we can scale up and that's the role bay works is trying to play when they identify critical positions. some of the ones that we i guess the position we're hiring from the community is one of the critical positions. so we can scale up and i don't know -- >> we have a vast network. we have 32 utilities that are part of that group and i'm always recommending hires to those other signatory.

we have capacity in that way as well. >> so the oath caveat is if this program is specifically focussed for folks who live in the bay view so however for region why we want to take advantage of folks in the community but for outside we want to maybe bring in more folks if it's going to be in east bay mud or alameda county. that's why we want to kind of branch it out a little bit. >> >> so in it's current incarnation it's limited to people in the bay view for coming in and the size of the program is geared toward openings that we see within the waste water program is that right? >> yes. >> commissioner: so to scale it up is going wired -- wider in both directions from more parts in the city and bay area and

hiring opportunity outside the p p.u.c. >> and that could be public and private. >> and a lot of those facilities don't require a lot of background and can easily be placed in those. >> thank you. >> commissioner: before we leave the podium is there any public comments or questions from the public? thank you for your presentation. >> thank you. next item, please. >> clerk: item 8. >> the southeast facility community update. yolanda, you're up.

>> i'm here to provide an update on the progress toward the community center at 1550 evans. i'd like to note shelby campbell will provide an update specific to the construction progress so for the sake of time i'll focus on the community programming and community engagement aspects of the project. i always like to go back to the beginning and that is asking the question why are we as an agency so committed to this project. that goes back to the historic community mitigation agreement he is referenced prior by catherine curtis and when the clean water act passed in the

'70s the community organized and part of our expansion in the treatment plan they demanded much of the same thing they're demanded today and that resolves around access for opportunities to education and hands-on skill building. so in furtherance of that mitigation they constructed the facility at 1800 oak dale and created and pointed a seven-member southeast facility commission. from that history fast forward from the creation of the existing facility at 1800 oakdale to 2011 when we had a lot of requests coming from community members and tenants in the building to do an assessment of the physical state of the community center at 1800 oakdale and ways to improve the programming to deliver on the promise of the mitigation.

following the assessment in 2011, it was decided we should undertake renovations to the current building on oakdale in two phases. one would be smaller to test it out and see how well we do and if it proved successful we'd move to renovating the rest of the building. in 2014 we complete the initial first phase of renovations on the south wing and assessed the cost benefit of the renovations an determined due to critical issues in the building's mechanical system and the way it was laid out we didn't have confidence renovations would hit the mark in what we were trying to achieve. at that same time and in parallel, the agency just acquired the property at 1550 evans with the initial intention to house all the wastewater operation folks together but recognizing the unique opportunity we had, we decided

to embark on a nine-month, multi-pronged stakeholder process to ask their preference to continue on oakdale or embark on building a new center at 1550 evans. the results were clear but i'd lake to take a moment to recap for you all what we did in the engagement process. again, it was nine months. we had four key strategies where we focussed on grassroots outreach knocking on over 2500 doors. we partnered with over 1600 community organizations to get a diversity of input. we cultivated a lot of followers and people chimed in to tell us their opinion of how we're doing and lastly cultivating a group

of community leaders who followed us during the nine months deeply. the there was the southeast commission and committees an community leaders. and the next slide is a quick snapshot of the community partners i spoke of but the results speak for themselves. the main finding as you win overwhelming majority, 71% of the community said build new at 15150 -- 1550 input and we tracked the input to make sure our engagement was equitable and representative of our diverse communities two of three respondents not only lived in the community but the 92414 zip code referenced in the mitigation and we had 45% participation from african americans and in the face of gentrification and change in the

community, more than a quarter of the folks that participated have lived in the community as long as 1800 oakdale has existed as a community center. breadth and depth to the outreach. to further memorialize the mandate to build new at 1550 evans, the southeast community commission and our advisory commit provided an update to the commission in 2016 after passing resolutions and on november 2016 this commission affirmed the results of the outreach process and authorizing staff to move forward with planning and design for the new community center at 1550 evans. since that time, staff has continued our engagement with the community and stakeholder bodies like yours and i want to give a snapshot what that's looked like. we've had 67 touch points with

this commission with the week in review and three direct presentations and had over 16 different presentations to the public at large. another key way we continue the engagement with the community is through our art enrichment doll as. i'd like to summarize some of that and we created an art master plan for our sewer system up improvement program. all the projects are under the art ordinance we've been working on this art master plan with which he community and to date we have 330 local artists in the registry being utilized not by just the p.u.c. but other

agencies are utilizing it to make sure the enrichment dollars are supporting local art. we have local artive -- artists that will hang art in the new center and we'll provide a detailed update on the artists but the first is an artist from bayview-hunters point and has proposed photo collage mural commemorating the big fix. it looks like a fresher more technologically advanced mural than oakdale so enthusiasm about carrying that legacy forward and the second is proposing a cool process as part of our artwork where she's going to do interviews with long-term

residents of bayview-hunters points and give their memorabilia from photos and use that in her art and it will hang on the wall in the large community room. lastly, the work has been recognized and it's way to educate and continue to engage the community and a very powerful tool we're proud to be utilizing. lastly, we wanted to talk about the key component of this mitigation as it relates to our plans at 1550. that's to say the obligation we're under to provide opportunities for community members and skill building. currently at oakdale we have

three tenant the head start for our youngest learners, a charter school which is primarily high school and city college of san francisco. so i mentioned in 2011 we did the initial assessment that set us down this road. at the same time we started dialoguing with city college to asked how to improve at oak dale and have the offers aligned with the job opportunities in the community and we wanted to partner with city college but in the seven years city college has gone through their own change and turmoil and four different chancellors so we're continuing the education and also doing more work internally to assess our own retirement planning and you heard about the work with bay work and what we're doing now is starting to merge those so we can assess as we're preparing our own workforce and

trying to get better about the pathways in the p.u.c. for the utility careers how to bring them together and we've launched an internal working group across enterprises an bureaus and we'll reporting back to the executive team in february and will continue to work with city college to see what we can pilot at 1800 oak dale in alignment with the job opportunities that hopefully will build a strong foundation as we move into 1550 once that's complete. i know i'm out of time. lastly, on the workforce and skill building side we have the ssip internship program that's been successful and applications are open and we encourage everyone to apply and secured three valuable scholarships for residents of the community the mason awards. they're renewable scholarships so if anyone's gotten a

scholarship they know what that mens for support and one is based on stem and one is on the life and legacy of he is -- espola jackson and one is for a bay view resident of latino dissent. >> commissioner: thank you. exciting to see it coming together. i'd like a sense of the time line and especially as it relate to partner. and when you assess interest and when the partnerships can be identified because i like how you're putting it together around the workforce and the broader goals of the p.u.c. i don't have to hear about it now but i'd love to see the time line from groundbreaking to what could be achieved if the right

constellation of partner can move into that space. >> i'd be happy come back with more detail and in trying to move fast i skipped over one bullet point relevant to your comment. last year we didn't issue a full r.f.p. but contacted our partner and says what are you doing, what are your best ideas and how do we make it work. we received a lot of interests tr from various workforce development and various institutions. unfortunately, we only received one response to the r.f.i. in partnership with ssusd and two years of high school application and two years degree and transfer to a four-year degree. the uncertainty within their own

academic institution was a road block for moving forward concretely and did see fund agencies the limitation for partners to come to table so we started the internal working group to focus on our needs as well as the community's because we believe when we put them together we'll have a strong project so that's a little bit of an answer to your question and we'll come back with more details as we move forward. >> i just want to point out the picture of the community center you have and we had one that was in college and our plan is we're building about the same square footage but it would just be the

community center and then we're planning for an educational building where community college and maybe san francisco state and unified will build a building or will assist in building an educational building. you'll hear more about this building which is not the educational component. this is more of the community center that we met with the community and we talked about things that will be in that building. so it's a different building. >> thank you. >> so city college -- what makes this whole thing work is that when we talked about renovating 1800, there was a fear we'd move city college out and they'd never come back and the community was very concerned about it. that's why they wanted us to renovate while city college was there and that's where it became problematic to do any construction while you operate.

we try not to do that. if we can close the sewer plant and redo the sewer plant, it will be cheaper but we can't do that, right. so what we talked about is that this is the best scenario because city college can stay there until the educational building is built and at that time you pick up your pencils an paper and go to another facility. it's not like you're moving them and you have to stop a year while renovating. they'll transfer over. i think that is why the community chose this as the best option. >> for the community center, this building's going to be built first and then the educational center and then 1800 will get torn down? >> the plan with 1800 is to move

staff in there and we're still talking about allowing the alex picture room to be there for the community. what we found out in talking to the community is that although they will have a new mitigation which would be this campus building, there was a lot of strong attachments for 1800 because they recognized that was a symbol of their fight and so they really didn't want us to ca tear it down. >> commissioner: mr. kelly, i have a related question. quite time ago there was a city college campus blocks away. what's the status of that? >> it's more of a vocational school and we're talking about more classroom. in the beginning they used to have more nursing classes and it

was very successful. then those class moved to other campuses and then enrollment started dropping. we want to ensure the community center say success and that's why we're looking at what type of training our staff would need for continuing education to get promotions and and we're talking about what we want to offer and this is close to c.d. distribution and next to the plant. there's a large population of our staff work in those areas. >> commissioner: so they'll coexist?

>> yes. >> commissioner: may i call for public comment? seeing none, thank you for the presentation. i like the way you entered the history. it's always nice to track that back. >> all right, the next item is the clean power update. >> i'm barbara hail the assistant general manager for power. i have upon enrollment and service, rates and the announcement by pg&e and it plans to file for bankruptcy and what that means nor -- for the program. we're continuing to serve customers effectively. in january we added approximately 2,000 accounts. these customers were either signed up for clean power sf the

preceding quarter or the solar energy customers and clean power sf is actively serving 1100 accounts with an opt-out percentage of 3.2% since the program began. our super green program continues to be 3.8% of our active customers. we noy now have just under 4,200 business and residents in san francisco that elected to receive 100% renewable energy from clean power sf. staff is busy preparing for our next autoenrollment of approximately 280,000 accounts. we're more than doubling our program. that will be mostly residential accounts occurring in april of this year. at our last session on december

11, you adopted new clean power sf rates. those rates reduced our green product generation rates by the amount of pg & e's rates and the credit covers the increases in pg&e's exit fees. it was designed to make sure they can offer an affordable service to both existing and future customers so it's an important step for us as we prepare to enroll that 280,000 customer accounts. given some uncertainty around when pg&e's rates would be finalized the resolution grants the general the authority to

decide the rates once it meets the covenants. the board of supervisors exercised their authority under the city chart tore call a hearing to discuss the clean power sf rate's action and that was held last tuesday the 15th and we presented information to the board about the clean power sf program and our plans to complete city wide enrollment this year. the rate actions we were expecting from pg&e and the operate row proposal to make sure we continue to provide affordable service to customers. the members of the board expressed their support and conclude the meeting without action and we now move to implementation of the rates. we were anticipating when we last met the california p.u.c. would be approving pg&e

generation rates but they held the decision and it's now scheduled for a vote january 31. our customers continue to pay the rates they paid before. no rate change yet. we expect the california p.u.c. will vote that decision out and that pg&e after it take 30 days to file the new rates, we'll see new pg&e rates by march 1. and so we're anticipating to follow their pace for when rates would change. we're not expecting anything to change from the proposal we provided just the lay and implementation. so at this point customers are continuing to pay our current rates and they represent a 2% savings against pg&e's cost

after the exit fee. we'll keep updating you as we watch the activities with pg&e rates and our implementation will follow theirs and it brings me to their announcement of bankruptcy. it's been covered in the press this week. we've clear pg&e's planning to file for bankruptcy by january 29 due to their impending liabilities they face from the state wildfires in 2017 and 2018. they filed january 13 a form 8k at the u.s. securities and exchange commission that described the problem they're facing and why they're intended to file for bankruptcy on or about january 29 and on january 14 as required by state law,

pg&e notified employees of it's intent to file for bankruptcy within 15 days. they provide service and outage response, metering, billing and collection service. we do not expect any interruption in service to our clean power sf customers. it is possible however, to the bankruptcy could interrupt the remittance of clean power sf payments to the city. remember in order to pay us, you pay pg&e who then remits payment to us. while we expect full remittance ultimately we may experience a delay and that they are may present a cash flow challenge for our program. we've been analyzing the potential financial consequences

due to the bankruptcy and are work the controller's office on potential mitigations. through attorneys we've received assurances pg&e will timely remitt the revenue received during this time period before bankruptcy. they've indicated that they intend to filed a motion or motion on or about the first day of their chapter 11 case that would seek the bankruptcy court's thorg to continue the remittance activities describing them as ongoing routine business for them. they state they'd intend to do the metering and billing and collection service to clean water sf and others in their

territory. pg&e are optimistic the motions will be approved by the bankruptcy court. of course, the bankruptcy court is who will ultimately decide we expect the bankruptcy to occur january 29 and remittances as thai come in and the first week after bankruptcy filing we'll learn whether the funds will continue to flow. and with that i'm happy take any questions you may have. thank you. >> commissioner: that's a lot, barbara. commissioners? any public comment on the presentation? seeing none.

>> may i have the slides, please. the assistant general manager for water. today i'll provide an update on the december 12, 2018 adoption of the bay delta plan. in vim -- summary there's

affects for the water supply and we stated we think the benefits could be achieved using smart functional flows combined with science-based measures other than flow and we continue to believe voluntary agreements can produce a better overall result. with those thoughts in mind i'll talk about the state water board action december 12. they did adopt a water quality plan update with the 40% in impaired flow requirement february through june but with important amendments. at the same december 12 meeting the department of fish and wildlife presented updated information on voluntary agreements for the river as well as six other tributaries and included an overall framework agreement. the figure shows the rivers that were involved
