>> good afternoon. i would like to call to order the regular meeting of the san francisco public utility's commission. today is tuesday, october 8th, 2019. roll call, please. (roll call). commission paulson must be running late and we have a quorum. >> next item, please. >> item 3 is the annual election of officers, discussion and possible action to discuss a president and vice president,

each to serve a one-area term. >> i would like to nominate president cane for an additional term and make a motion along with that nomination. >> i'll second it. all those in favour? opposed? motion carries. congracongratulations, madam ch. >> thank you. >> what was the motion? the motion was to elect and i i was unclear, i nominate made a o elect. are there any comments on that? and i'm sorry if i was unclear?

>> very good. >> thank you for clarifying, commissioner moran. >> and for the position of views president, you would like to nominate the current views president francesca vador and what is confusing is who is acting as clear at this moment? >> i'm chair but not doing the nom nations. >> who is, the vice chair? as acting chair we have a nomination of vice president? any public comment?

all those in favour say aye and opposed? congracongratulations, vice pre. >> thank you. i will hand this back to our president. >> can i just say something so that we're clear. i wanted to say for my understanding and fulfilled vince courtney's presidency and so, she didn't fill a full term and that's why, you know, because the bylaws said you can't fulfill two full terms. so she was vice president when vince resigned so she assumed his position and i think we want to try to make that clear in the bylaws. and i think something that we're working on and hopefully we'll get that to you guys soon so

that can be clear. >> i would like to speak to that, as well, because i believe our bylaws do not actually clearly state what happens when there is a vacancy on the commission, whether through a resignation or some other reason that a commissioner leaves their post. so i've requested by the next meeting and i know this will take advanced notice, that we do have a bylaw amendment before us that clarifies, that in the event of a vacancy, the next person in line would then assume the role via an election and that that person would then be allowed to serve another term because it will have been a short term just completing the vacancy term. and i'm hoping it will be more clear than i stated but we will work to clarify the bylaws in the situation since it does not specifically address what happens when a vacancy occurs.

>> part of the confusion comes from, we have a term that is date to date as opposed to a length of time. one of the changes that we could make is to say that a term of office will be one year from the date that that office is assumed. so if somebody leaves made-term and somebody else takes out, they have it a year. i don't know what issues that will create. but i thought that's one way to deal with it. >> the reasons was that the terms for commissioners are in august for the bylaws and i believe per legislation. so that then gives a month for there could be the person to assume the position and get

settled before there's an immediate election of officers and that's why the october date is are pretty important to stick with. and we can speak a bit to that and i wonder if our council wouldn't mind at the next meeting with the new bylaw amendment introduced, could explain the reasoning and i would be happy to take it through, as well, but my understanding is because our terms as commissioners begin and end in august per -- whether that's bylaw or legislation and therefore, sometimes the seat does not get filled because of the process until september. so once the new commissioners on are board next september, there's an election of officer. if we start playing with dates based on vacancy rather than appointment by the board of supervisors, it might make it more complicated because

everyone might have different lengths of serving as an officer. >> i appreciate that and i think that's one of the things we thought to think through. the other part of that is that if somebody is serving as an officer and then they don't get repointedrepointreappointed, yoe problem. so i don't know october is the solution. but we have time to talk about it as we go forward. >> thank you. >> i would just like to add that in the past we've had many different months. we've had spring, january. and we've been all over the map and this does not occur very often. >> moving along, minutes of september 10th, any additions to corrections?

>> i'll move approval. >> second. >> any public comment? any discussion from the commissioners? all those in favour? >> aye. >> opposed? the motion carries. next item, please. >> item 5 is general public comment. members of the public may address the commissioner on matters in the commission's jurisdiction and not on today's agenda. >> mr. decasta? good afternoon. >> good afternoon. the question first, i would like to offer my condolences. one of the commissioners, francesca vetra, she lost her brother and she's served this commission as best as she can.

and in doing so, she serves us and so i think it's fitting that we offer our condolences to you and be strong. also, i want to congratulate the women on this commission, the president and the vice president and i want to now going to the nitty-gritty. so we have had some letters between the administrator from the epa and the governor's office and the sipuc and as an environmentalist, politics is one thing and being an

environmentalist is quite another. so this both can be done by anyone. any attorney. i know that just from reading the letter that he must have delegated some attorney to read the letter and then reviewed it. the others who may have reviewed it, but you know when we focus on the facts, we environment oceanside treatment plan and one at the bayside and then one in the treatment plant. that's mentioned in the letter. secondly, if you know how the system works, most of the wheels, the blue eirs are not working.

who's fought is that? it our fault. thirdly, there are incidents that may be discussed today, i don't know. >> thank you. the next speaker is

mr. dreckmyer. >> i would like to wish you a happy water year on october 1st. if i could get the overhead on. you see the water bank is 1.28 water feet. and last year, which was above

average, is about 150% precipitation and the puc had entitlements to 107-acre feet, so more than the full storage. and system demand pretty much leveled out. it was 196 last year and it looks like this year maybe 197. so we have a lot of water, demand is down and i hope we take that into consideration when it comes to the fish and the salmon-based ecosystem. sorry, this is a little faded. this is a graph put together by brian brown, required economist and member of the overview bond committee. the red line is the cost of water and as it goes up, demand

goes down. there's a price signal. the blue line, until you get -- there's a grey line and blue line together, hard to see but where that ends, on the left of that is actual demand and then the blue line to the right, which is only blue is projected demand. and the gr earthquakes is what brian brown's model suggested to be on price prices. you see he was incredibly accurate and predicting demand will continue to go down. we will get serious about water entitlements will be and provide more water for the ecosystem that desperately needs it. thank you very much. but. >> thanthank.thank you.

>> the next speaker is mr. rosecrantz. >> thank you. i represent restore heteche and california trout have sent three different letters, encouraging increased access and recreation in the area in the national park. one to the mayor and secretary and one to the general manager and one to the superintendent of yosemite national park and all have the same contention that the recreation access today is not consistent with what was promised when san francisco committed to with what san francisco -- with what san francisco committed to when it asked congress to pass the act

in 1913. most recently, we suggested that the best way to provide that access is through an electric paramedielectric powered ferry service, drop people off at the falls and people can fish the grand canyon and things that are not available today. i know that on behalf of san francisco, the general manager expressed grave concerns and in our recent letter to the superintendent, we wrote, it will be essential, of course, to com blucomply with the raker ace ensuring there's any associated costs. we note that water supply reservoirs in california and beyond routinely allow boating, indeed in most cases gasoline paramedic boats are allowed and confident the utility's

commission staff is capable of ensuring that all customers continue to receive clean and safe water supplies. and there's been some press on this and more press on this and we've had discussions with the park service and interior and i'm just getsing yo guessing yod as well. i would like to open the dialogue with the general manager, with board members, mr. carlin but we're available to talk to work through some of these issues. thank you. >> thank you, any more public comment? seeing none, next item. >> item 6 is communications. >> commissioners, any comment on communications? you have two things that i would like to discuss.

when we talk about the bay area, ridge trail. , i see that the timeline on that is -- i don't see that right now. i believe it's in 2022 or '21, '21. so will that come before us again? because i see, although it will be docent oriented, we're going to have bikes and horses and i was wondering how that controls all those different vehicles. >> i'm with land management. i think you're referring to 6e, the recreation improvements on the watershed and we wanted to provide an update on the other programmes on the peninsula. trail is in there and this is a

project that's been before the commission in the past. it's been awhile and we've put the city planning that released the document almost three years ago and so that document has yet to be purplishe published for cd review and this will come back before i goes anywhere. we're running our ongoing programme with the docents. that's the same and then other alternatives including cayhill, as well, and that will come back in 2020. >> i want an update on that. and let's see, how *r d do i hae anything else? no, that's all i have on communications. >> i'll add one comment on that that one of the precipitating events was the people concerned about access to the montero mountain and the approach is

take, commonsense cal an common. >> if i'm not mistaken, the permit idea, you think, is a good one giving them access and we know who's there. and i think that makes a lot of sense. >> it will come back to the commission, the ideas that we have and anything we could will come back for your consideration. >> thank you. >> thank you. next item, please. >> for public comment? >> i'm sorry, public comment. >> before we get into that one would lik, iwould like to note e forwarded to the commission and entered in as public comment. >> thank you.

>> i'm matthew blaine speaking on the same issue. i was at the last meeting and i was not available go to meeting. i hear it was productive and i would like to thank staff and commissioners for being supportive and i want to mention the timeline issue. i'm hearing a scarry timeline, taking no time to remove public access, which is present.

so hopefully all of these be projects can move forward for public access. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioners, if you see on the ed, declaration of emergency update repair, treatment plant, final of affluent force main. there's more than just a simple sentence. there's a history of that being compromised to stability. who would ever dig through conduits under a force main without doing any assessment around 2004, compromising the force main? now we are in 2019, and there's

this sentence coming before the commission and i know maybe it's in that book over there, but that's not the way to do business. this is exactly linked to what i said in my comments. this force main, millions of gallons go through this force main into the bay. talking about treated sewage, it's more than what some of us think and the own way you know this is when it smells really bad.

the commission decided to dump the waste water -- this is a proposition where the people went, dealt with the clean water and entitled it the water system improvement project. so we need to have a hearing on the force main. and we need to have a hearing which is connected with this force main about a digest. we already have heard in some of the presentations it's delayed two years.

how much will this cost, 10 billion or maybe 20 billion. thank you very much. thank you very much. you just would like go back to the ridge trail and make a request that if you don't know now but by the next meeting if you can give us a timeline on when you anticipate the issue to be closer to resolution and before this commission. and anyone else would appreciate you having reached out to the stakeholders and engaging them because i know that was a question and concern we had. >> thank you. i'm with natural resources and i would happily do that as soon as we have one. part of the dilemma is that we're waiting fort work to be fe completed. it might be done as part of the projects. the radar will go in and we might be delayed because of the

weather and it's hard to say ba the access will look like. it might take three months, six months, i don't though, but as soon as we get a sense of that being finished and we can then map out what the rest looks like, we'll bring it back making sure the commission is aware of it and keep the people in the loop on that. that's what we talked about on friday, that we couldn't put a date to it and they appreciated that things got done first is we would follow behind with the next iteration. we have to be specific with city planning what the project looks like. >> if you could keep us in the loop, either via communications or an update, we would appreciate that. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> any other public comment? >> item 7 is a report of the

general manager. >> good afternoon. the first item on my report is the bay delta water control update. >> good afternoon, i'm steve ritchie, assistant manager for water. the update will cover the bay delta quality control as well as the board hearing, the stakeholder process which is a subject of the mayor's office letter to you and the upcoming planning commission hearing on water supply and analysis for new projects. first, on the bay delta quality control, the voluntary agreement process is continuing and unfortunately, not as much progress has been made as hoped by people. but last official correspondence from the state was july 1, where they anticipate anticipated hava decision in mid-october.

october 15th was the date included by which we would have included and determined the voluntary agreement package was ready for formal analysis. that parse to not be the case and we're expecting a report from state and that will require a new schedule which might extend that deadline for some time, maybe to the end of the year. people are still talking and people are still approaching it with a positive attitude but it is just not moving nearly as fast as people had hoped. secondly, i wanted to report on september 19th, the bored of directors held their regular meeting and that meeting, they did have presentations in a structured fashion, where there was a presentation by peter dreckmire, followed one by me and comments by the bosca

director, nicole sancula. presentations were 10 to 15 minutes in length and peter was focused on water slight issue, water supply planning and i was broader than that, talking about the bay delta plan and where we are as well as how we approached the planning. nicole wrapped it up with the state of the voluntary agreement process and that litigation was still always a potential activity that we had already initiated as a back-stop and that is the situation now. they kept it in a controlled fashion so not a lot of debate and discussion, but they did want to make sure the issues got on the table in front of them. and then, secondly, the stakeholder process, yesterday, there was the memo from the mayor's office directed to the commission and that identified there would be a series of meetings and workshops upcoming, that the metr mayor's office is

sponsoring. they'll be working with a variety of stakeholders on the agendas for those and basically reporting to this commissioner at the end of this process as to what progress had been made relative to coming together on issues or whether there were differences still that occurred but the mayor's offices has taken a different role to try to make that happen. and then lastly, the planning commission had been scheduled at least tentatively scheduled for their regular hearing commission for october 24th. it's being structured with pregnants by chris kern, the environment review officer, about the planning commissioner's role for new development projects. i'll be making a presentation covering the puc and water supply agency's role in that sequa process. so that should be a fairly comprehensive presentation on both issues that the planning

commission has the best possible understanding of the overall process that is engaged in under law by both the planning department and the puc, as well. i'm working with staff now on what we may bring forward to deal with that issue and we may be able to make that on the 22nd. >> that would be good. the commission secretary would be a party to that. she's smiling at me.

>> we may have to bend the rules. >> i would second that. i would like to see something on the 22nd, please, and ask the commission secretary to work with staff to make that happen. >> any other comment? i guess i'm a little unclear and i haven't looked at the resolution in some time, and also in listening to peter's report, a little water update and i know we'll be getting one soon, but it still feels like the vsa may have stalled, the conversations are shorter than we like. there should be things moving forward to help fish, let's put it that way. i would like to try to understand, if there's any measures that ca we can do, understanding sequa,

understanding these things take time to be able to work towards our goal of pai maintaining supy but making sure the fish are healthy and thriving. >> one thing to bring fort as fs an update on the water supply planning effort so that you can see the things were moving forward to cover the whole range of needs to fulfill and that's been one of the commission's priorities as part of this is dealing with the water issues, as well as physical habitat. so that would be at the next meeting. the other issue in terms of physical improvements that does require sequa review and very frankly, we are challenged there in dealing with the state, the state likes to speak with one

voice and so in terms of the voluntary agreement, we thought we had positive feedback on the things we were proposing but in separate venues, representatives of the state have not supported some of the things that we're proposing. and so i think working with irrigation districts, we're trying to find common ground with the state as a whole and that has been a difficult challenge to accomplish. so we're working on things with the director of department official wildlife and secretaries to get clear on what path we're moving forward on so we can start to move forward but if we get mixed signals from the state, that makes it harder. >> my concern is if we wait for a fully comprehensive agreement, we'll continue to lose habitat and fish. so i need a better understanding on what we do in the interim on what to do towards the goal you

expressed of bringing together the state wi one voice, becausee keep coming up against this and i'm eager for there to be some thankingable movement on what we know is a crisis situation for our fish. >> i fully understand and i agree with that. maybe if we scheduled a separate briefing to actually delve into the nitty-gritty details, that might be useful. >> i would appreciate that. i would like to be a part of that, as well. i missed something i wanted to bring up in communications and

that was the declaration of emergency updates, repair of the treatment plant. i would like a little bit more understanding of that. as it's gone from 2 million to 5 million to 6 million and it seems as if we are, again, trying to do this in soil that is even worse than what we thought it was going to be. and i just have a concern about that and i would like to hear something. >> can i suggest that we finish item 7 and then return to item 6? that's a different item. >> thank you. >> and we're on item 7. >> thank you. >> we can do it at the next meeting. >> no, i think we should finish item 7 and before we go forward, if we can have somebody speak to that, i would appreciate that. >> ok, that's fine.

>> mr. kelly? >> how about as part of the sewer programmsewer program, we. the next item is the quarterly budget status update, charles pearl. >> good afternoon. commissioners charles pearl, definite cfo, this is your quarterly budget update for the fourth quarter which end the june 30th of this area. normally we bring these reports to you within in couple of months after the quarter but because this is the for forth quarter, it involves a lot of details related to the audit and close-out of funds which takes longer. this is a first look at the year-end numbers and just a quick update, financial audits are underway for the three enterprises. the auditors are on site and the

financial statements are scheduled to be presented in december. so just a heads-up and our quarterly update fashion. >> i if i can have the slides. so a few high-level observations are here. this is generally all three, the waste water, clean power and sf enterprises had a positive net result. water was almost a positive and i'll share that with you in a moment. lower revenues were experience related to volumes for water and sewer and power sales and revenues. however, we were able to off-set those with cost savings so the financial results came in positive but year-end and that we are able to meet the coverage and reserve policies and targe targets.

for water, and i'll share a brief overview. for water enterprise, some high-level comments are noted here. we had lower water sales revenues and most volumes were due to lower sales resulting from a cool and wetter spring and you'll see our sources came in at 11.1 million lower, both retail and water sales were down as compared to the budget. we did have higher nonoperating revenues, mainly due to higher interest income. interest rates were up last year and that was above our plan and helped to partially off-set the lower operating revenues. on the use's side, you'll see a 10.$5 million of savings and most of the savings, as you can see, are in the salaries and benefit's category, just under 2 million related to vacancies and then we closed out a number of unspent funds carried over

and we knew we didn't need to use those. so that savings helped off-set the majority of the lower revenues. for our waste water enterprise, again, we had lower waste water revenue, mainly as a result of waste water sales tied to water sales as a function of water sales and that's how we bill waste water revenues. and so you'll see that was a net sources shortfall of $9 million. so sewer revenues were just under 6 million lower, 2% as compared to budget but we did, again, have higher miscellaneous revenue and most related to interests, again, higher interest rates. the lower uses provided cost savings, again, off-setting the operating shortfalls. most of that were from vacancies. waste water has a number of

vacancies we're trying to fill and closing out of unneeded spending and budget. for the power enterprise, we did have a reduced power sales revenues coming from a number of areas and we had -- we retrofitted our streetlights which is a good thing and that resulted in lower energy use, which actually hits us in a negative way so a slightly revenue and we'll adjust that in the upcoming budget but just so you know, when we set our budget, the led lates hadn't been installed yet. we had, also, some lower sales out at sfo due to a number of terminal renovation activities going on and then lower wholesale power prices resulted in lower revenues and those were the main contributors towards the lower sources and power

revenue. on the use's side, again, you'll see that we were able to offset those lower operating revenues by the 20.$6 million o.$6 milli. it was from a project close-out and we saw lower revenues about mid-year and we wanted to bring the enterprise in a positive revenues and 15 of 20 million was related to that. the other savings as i mentioned in the other enterprises, we had again a close-out of unspent monies and we did have slight uptick in distribution costs but net-net -- a net savings was provided for the enterprise to come in at a net positive for the year.

clean power is always of interest because we've been expanding that program. as you recall during the last quarter of the year, we enrolled a final enrollment and revenues were up slightly and we had savings due to vacancies and all were working hard at filling. so hopefully when you see the variances, we'll work to bring those lower. the last slide i'll leave you with here is a standard slide that shows the metrics. these are policy measures for the fund-balance reserve policy which said we need a fund balance between 25% and 68% and you'll see all enterprises come within the threshold and debt service coverage, you will see we met policy minimums, as well. lastly, clean power reserve on target to be met. that's an expanding program and

we set a multiyear target to get our reserves up to a certain level and made good progress adding to reserves last year. all details are included in the pant. packet. if you have any questions, please let me know and i'm happy to take your questions. >> questions? seeing no questions. >> next item is capital financing plan.

this is the fourth year we're presenting the plan to you. capital financing plan providing a snapshot of issuances you'll be asked to consider for approval during the upcoming fiscal year and provides a commission with visibility and transparency and the upcoming capital financing activities of the puc. this is important because the puc's large debt portfolio and credit needs and as always, our management activities both of an issuance and administration standpoint are guided by the various policies that you've approved in the past, including the capital debt service policies, which you approved in 2017, as well as debt and

management policies and procedures and finally our debt and management activities are guided by our key debt stakeholders including the oversight committee. so on this slide, you'll see a senatsnapshot of the debt inclug revenue bonds, low-cost, state and federal loans and it shows the strong bond ratings each of the enterprise currently enjoys. the capital financing activities are centered around three areas. one, meeting the new credit needs to satisfy the ongoing capital requirements including determining when and how much funds are kne needed to be ang d and the debt portfolios which is one when replaced renewed credit facilities and finally, the continual monitoring of the

markets to see if we can identify opportunities to benefit rate payers such as refunding outstanding debt for savings. so this slide is a bit of a busy slide showing the debt activities that we plan on bringing tow ove to you over the of the fiscal year, executing new low-cost loans, new money revenue notes and new money bonds for the water enterprise and as is always the case it seems each year of the approval of renews or credit facilities for our interim funding programs. later on today, you'll be asked as a part of your regular calendar, you'll be asked to consider one of these items. and the last item shown on this slight, which is not a dead issuance is the bond

authorizations for each enterprise. what's not shown is a financing that we plan to bring to you in a month, november 26th, meeting. and interest rates are low right now and we've identified working with advisers, identified a refunding transaction recently. it was too late to get it into the capital financing plan but i wanted to report to do a water revenue. hopefully the market continues and once you consider this transaction on the 26th, we can enter the market right away and execute what we think would be a favorable transaction for the water enterprise. >> excuse me. can you explain that again. so that would mean a new refinancing mechanism, basically. >> we're taking outstanding water revenue bonds and because interest rates are slower right now, we are going to issue what's called refunding bonds to

refund the outstanding debt so you're replacing debt at an interest rate with new debt at a lower interest rate representing u.s.a.ingssavings rates to the . payers. >> it's the same concept of the mortgage, except for dollars. that completes my press. presentation. happy to take questions. >> thank you. >> any member of the public with a question or comment? good, thank you very much.

>> the next item is a waste water capitalled improvement programme. and howard, can you respond to commissioner -- >> slides, please, donna. good afternoon, commissioners, acting director of the water programs. a couple of things today. first i'll start out with the update for the quarter ending june and i think the next item is the waste water enterprise quarterly report and i'll go over a question commissioner

maxwell had at the repairs. so dropping into the program status, phase one are currently 32.2% complete with $833 million expended at the close of june. this quarter we were able to progress five projects out from the preconstruction phase phasee planning design. we have 13 projects in construction in green and we're able to progress six more projects into the close-out and completed phases which are the grays in the pie. i'll go over the hue light hue .

solids will initiate the phase. during the quarter, the design team finalizes the outpackages for sur relocation, demolition excavation and foundation work. the team is also working to bring on the power, waters and sewer didn't telephone utilities and the starchin staging area fm and as the commission requested, we plan to provide a major update of this project on the october 22nd meeting. moving on to the hedgework's project, the team is progressing with two of the five scopes. for scope one, the contractors are working hard to complete the building demolition and finish the bypass pipe work and the other dry-weather dependent work on scope 2a exis the pumpwhich p

station. scope 2b, the team has completed 100% zion for this quarter for the influence, sewer and force main. for scope 2c, the southeast list station and the team is is working toward the design early next quarter and on the main headwork's project, the first of the suggestion waves of construction work packages are currently processed for ntp. we plan to provide a more-day-old project update at our october 22nd meeting. and move on to other projects. this sunset green boulevard,

phase two will reduce sewer discharges around sunset boulevard. phase one was a pilot project for two and a half blocks, constructed by public works. phase twphase two will be 12 blm luola to you'r irving within the existing green space and incorporates a curbside inlet from the street, pipes it into the rain garden and allows it to soak into the landscape before it enters our combined sewer. we received two bids in june and we recently issued ntp to the low bidder in late september. the north shore push station is 35 years old and due for a major upgrade with four existing

dry-weather lift pumps and allows for them to operate as redundant wet-weather pumping, providing wet weather conditions. this project will include improvements to the bar screen, as well as an overhaul to other systems, including the electrical, push controls and distributed control systems. and this project was advertised and was slated to start construction in september, but, unfortunately, due to overall safety program concerns, we have elected to close the bidding and we will bring forward a prequalification process to validate bidders before soliciting for actual bids. >> i was going to clarify why we are pausing these projects, because we're working with the

city attorney's office to put qualifications or prequalifications for contractors to have a good safety record and because we've been having contractors and we had some projects and we wanted to make sure whoever comes in on these projects have a good safety program. >> you must have read my mind but i wanted to ask a question, the new pumps that you're putting in. , how are they different from the old pumps? >> well, they're fairly the same. they have to meet the same pumping curve and for dry weather but if you go back to the slide, sorry -- so we're basically rerouteing the flows from the dry weather pumps through a manifold system back to the wet-weather said to do

both when w. when we replace dry-weather we're replacing that pushing bud adding redundancy, as well. >> just wanted -- you have to be careful because they went on the equipment so they know all about pushes. pumps. >> vertical, nonclog. >> you won't be surprised at what good students we were. [ laughter ] >> this timeline shows how some of the other major phase one projects are progressing. the red line shows us where we are as of june, blue line through design and environmental phases and green represents construction grades close-out and just a quick note is that we plan to start construction on the southeast plant seismic rehab project in the fall.

continuing on, the division strategy project, the ntp was issued and the team is performing concrete repair, as well as implementing or repairs to the back-flow controls at the csd structures. a lot of this is nightwork. but our construction completion is anticipated to be completed around the summer of next year. the balker beach green street infrastructure project is in construction and this is the one we had a grant for, roughly, i think 3.7 million from the state. and we have recently encountered un-foreseen site conditions including a turn-of-the-century

duck bank and human burials. the team is working with the planning department to quantify the remains and working with the team to return the remains to coma. lastly, the oceanside digester gas utilization is in construction with an anticipated completion by february of 2021. work is progressing and this is a project that requires much coordination with the other adjacent ongoing project at that plant. lastly, a bit about our other work, we completed our six-month update to our jobs and contract's report. that highlights our efforts and successes providing opportunities for local residents and contractors to participate in our work. in may we hosted the 13th ants 13th annual contractor's breakfast which has been a big

event for us and our contractors, for local businesses, to hear about what we're working on and what our upcoming opportunities are. these are examples of how we are leveraging our infrastructure assets or investments to support the local community and our local economy. we're proud of this work and we look forward to continue to expand these efforts. and with that -- >> i just wanted to point out, anand this is for francesca. i went back to rec and park conscience. >> yosemite creek, they are interested in teaming up with us but artificial turf because they're concerned of the gopher holes they have in the park and they female
