farther. thank you very much. next caller i opened your line you have two minutes. next caller, you there. third caller, i opened your line. you have two minutes. >> thank you, commissioner. good afternoon. i hope you are doing well. i'd like to bring to your attention i have asked at least twice in the past it includes the communication and correspondent letters or e-mails as part of the passage when i look at a specific correspondent that's a total

waist of time. what is it going to take the public agencies you can save your time and our time. regarding the public speaker that just spoke. god bless you. keep doing what we are doing. next caller i opened your line. you have two minutes. >> i'm with the coalition of san francisco neighborhood an additional article link is in the commission package. using solar panels will increase solar energy

to the commission with rate reduction bonds. capital planning thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next caller, i opened your line. you have two minutes. >> good afternoon president maxwell. last week you should have received a letter from a coalition of 22 environment allogroups with several requests. one was the direct staff to include an appendix that analyzed a 7.5 year design drought. ideally, we would love to see that decision made before urban water management plans are finalized. it was apparent from your meeting it won't happen that

quickly. they last for five years and very helpful for agencies to have an appendix to point to and make that determination at some point. very interesting thing happened at a meeting a few weeks ago. a consultant on the urban water management plan. several agencies joined us in requesting they demand projections and contractual obligations to assess the impact on water supply. the reason they did that is because it's difficult enough to approve housing and when you have a plan that suggests 55 % rationing in year three of a drought you have a lot of opposition from the community. they made that change and that reduced rationing by 27 %. we think the agencies would support us in encouraging an

appendix that would reduce rationing. there is growth projections in the current or water management plan. the population growth is 92 % higher than it was over the last 15 years. that's not reasonable. the urban plan the projections are four times greater than those of the department of finance. this needs to be looked at. we hope you will take this action soon. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. i wanted to call to draw

attention to the as sparety of water. in march there was a report highlighting that 75 % surveyed are seeing minimum of water daily needs. most responded that they don't have access to 15 meters of water. that's the lowest minimum standard to water access. i'm asking the fspc take one step by using your discretionary funds. yeah, thank you for your time. i hope you keep this in mind to support our cause.

there are services including housed and unhoused. thank you for your comments. next caller you have two minutes. >> i'm from the human rights

work group this is at the international standard. with dignity, helmet and water. this is by greater risk of contracting covid-19. i'm asking them to take one step towards addressing there issue by using your discretion

funding-- >> next caller your line is open. >> hi, there. i'm carlos and i also work for the coalition on homelessness. to talk about what the caller just said. we know from the water report that they don't have adequate water access, sanitation, or hygiene. that's a huge one we are in a

crisis right now >> the water sours. put this on your next agenda and vote on this the next time you meet. it's been going on. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >> next caller, your line is open. >> hi, my name is kelly and i'm also a member of the human rights group on homelessness.

when we spoke to people we found that 75 % of unhoused san francisco face barriers to accessing their daily water. most of respondents, a 51 % don't have access to 15 15 15 liters of water per day. this is the lowest access. they effect the most marginalized san franciscans. this is due to disability, age, and over criminalization. water is the foundation of health and survival. because lack of water leads to immune response. it's a discretion funding and

we have water. san franciscans. this is the next spc. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >> next caller your line is open. >> can you hear me now? >> loud and clear. >> david again. just to remind the commission and staff. i have until this thursday to file a court of appeal on the project. i'm still considering that. i might reach out to staff between now and then to discuss. don't be surprised if i go ahead and do that. >> thank you.

>> thank you for your comments. >> madam secretary, there are no more callers in the cue. >> thank you q. >> public comment is closed. >> now your next item is item number five communications. >> was there any discussions or comments on the communications? >> seeing none public comment on communications please. >> anyone who wishes to make two minutes of public comment dial 1-415-655-0001. the 1 hadn't 611-2626-pound pound. you must limit comments to the topic of the agenda item being discussed. if you don't stay on topic the

chair can interrupt. we ask that you refrain from the usage of profanity. do we have callers >> there are two callers in the queue. >> first caller, your line speak to item five. >> they can here me now. >> that's good. >> david again, first on item five a the advanced calendar we will ask that you can add it to wwmp adoption which if

believe is due july 11022 is being canceled at the next meeting. i didn't see that on the advanced calendar for june 8th. this is where there are legal deadlines. there are other dates for things. it's 1823. requirement and other state law requirement. legal deadline require the commission action. this is for planning purposes. this is since october consider the extension in august of september. i don't know how to track that but suggest a way to track that. perhaps through the advanced calendar or another

mechanism. on five c on communication it will ask if we can consider the actual communications it's redacted as needed to patch that through the actual agenda item. communications items and given the covid-19 situation and unknown length of time to know how long we'll do these meetings. we should have asked for this months ago. this is a request for public records. it's a lot easier in addition to the log you have the actual communications as needed. thank you. >> thank you for your comments >> next caller, your line is

open. you have two minutes to speak to item five. >> thank you, peter, there are comments about the correspondents today and i think different correspondents used to be included and there is just the title. it would be nice to review those easily. the reason i wanted to comment is i think it was heard that the governor expanded the california declare ration. the counties were not included in that. according to water supply conditions update you will see storage at 81 %. it's a envial position. there is an appendix. they looked at the long-term

venerability. they determined precipitation won't change. i assume that means on average. i have mentioned to you the district agricultural plan. they are seeing a shift in flow from april to july the earlier runoff. we are seeing an increase in runoff in the fall and winter period. they say projections suggest at the river. the runoff from april, july, and it will decrease likely to 60 % of total runoff. that moons water will go into the time period we go over the pfs. that will really help out with water supply. we hope you will take-up the

issue the route we are in the water management plan to our fall parties, thank you. >> thank you for your comments. next caller, your line is open. you have two minutes to comment on item number five. >> item number five c they were very clear it's easily available. i'm wondering a lot of times we communicate with the commissioners and we get no response back. it's a curacy. this is for someone to write it up in an e-mail or public comments by one of the commissioners the say if the puc will or will not include that public information. also, you can see the

flustration within the city about the way the puc has been conducted in the past and the fact is 12400 documents have been made public within the last 24 hours, 48 hours i believe. they do shed exactly the shenanigans and corruption the public san francisco puc has been taking place. this is a public agency and not a private club, thank you. >> there are no more callers in queue. >> public comment are closed. >> you are muted. >> next item please. >> next item is item 6 report

of the general manager. >> good afternoon president maxwell and commissioners. i have my report and we will start off with the racial equity action plan. i ask you to present that with your team, barbara. >> thank you very much, michael. i just want to kick us off. thank you president maxwell and commissioner for the opportunity for the pow racial equitity plan today. the work has been to engage at all levels within the organize. we are creating it in our culture. we would like to establish and amphithe amplify diver. this is a culture change and we recognize it will take us engaging at all levels to accomplish this and it will

heard. racial reform at the puc in san francisco. are you kidding me. it's been going on because of specific individuals at the puc it takes time and has anybody why is it my fought. there is no decision and they approve it discrimination is at all levels. what really cracked me up today is them saying out of racial exty reform is this a reminder by a public agency and public access education. this is how we have licensed contractors. license consultants are not

getting the work and who is getting the work. the same company you hear in the public comment where the money is going to under the word of diversity. it's inclusion. look at the mayor, chief of police. look at hrc and look at them. you have two major lawsuits, class action lawsuits. one by the african-american employees that have been on the puc. another one wherein u:devils advocateals who wanted low income housing have been put in on a nuclear dump. this is san francisco. i have more coming up in the contract. you will see this is a racist and bigotry. they award contracts to

projected towards with positive results to the power interbryce. the ongoing pandemic is causing delays. they are on the level of economic recovery. they have predicted recovery from covid-19 with the economic recoveries made. clean power the revenue reduction is due to a rate decrease and rate structure. in power the positive results i mentioned are actually by one time saving. the revenue might have them. this is across the agency to

allow interest rates. also, we will refinance debt service savings. lastly, in december of 2020, salary increases went into effect. they were delayed for six months. they are reflected in the salary projections for the year. we increased the get and used the salary savings we already had. so, i'd say. while the weaker revenues are concerning our results are projected to meet policies for coverages and reserves. we can cover the deficits through cost savings that we realized or additional use of reserves if necessary. for next year, sorry, i'm not finished. for next year fy 21-22 budget

is set. it's necessary to get into the next fiscal year for revenue. next slide. so, you have seen the slide a few times before, as it q one and q two i just wanted to remind you the one time benefits from the close out of projects we did. this was done as part of fq 19-20 rebalancing effort. we didn't do the appropriation until earlier this year. these cuts are helping us off sit the operating deficit. we remember the one time savings. next slide. so, jumping into more detail on each enterprise. there are projection and it's negative 5.1 million.

we have $9 million. this is driven by $17.2 million deficit in retail revenues and $4.3 million in nonoperating revenues. that's driven by reduced water services as well as reduced revenue. as well as the lower interest mentioned. these have been offset by the wholesale side with 10.8 million we are seeing savings and debt services and also savings that will project overhead allocations and savings. >> wastewater net operating result projection is negative

16.3 million. it's offset by the project close out for 10.8 million. so, it's is mainly being driven by weekend revenue from 19.7 million. also below budget on nonoperating revenue. there is a collection of low interest income again. we are seeing some savings and usages. you can see them and services and materials and supplies. slide five. sorry, next slide, that's right. net operating result is

7.7 million. projection--i think, as i mentioned revenue is still down. this result is driven due to one time savings. we have significant project close out. this is 27.3 million and the close out from projects and rebalancing 1.9 million. all of that, we have close outs there is savings leading to a very good net impact this year there is 7.4 million.

so, on the other side 2.9 million. budget on wholesale this is due to lower generation and offset phi unbudgeted. 1.7million on retail sales. good news on nonoperating revenue. this is a reduction in water services for the more national lab. as mentioned we will have savings and driven by by the prior year. we have an operating result

that's 12 million and we have 16.5 million that will offset that. it's driven on the other side by 16.2 million this was the january 1 decrease for commercial customers. sorry, i'll go back. before i move on you may notties in the pool of significant increase for projection. this is the last report. this is due to work we have been doing the last quarter update. this is how we recognize balance. the fy 20-21 beginning balance

has been updated from the prior year. this is as well as general reserve within the budget system. this number reflects the total reserves. lastly, all of our ratios are on target 3. i just did want to note that we will have more information about clean power reserves at the next commission meeting. we will present an item and have more details about it thank you.

>> any questions or comments? >> all right, thank you for your report. some good news and okay news. overall, we are solid, thank you. public comment on this item, please. >> we wish to make two minutes of public comment on item 6b. please dial in. we ask that public comments before made in a general way. remarks to the commission as a

whole and not individual commissioners or staff. do we have any callers? >> ewith do not have any callers at this time >> madam president, the next item is water system and i improvement by katy miller. thank you, michael madam president and commissioner it is nice so see you. today, i'll present an update on the status of projects in the water system improvement program in march of 2021.

this slide shows the overall program started tuesday of the 52 52 regional projects representing $3.8 billion. the program is 99 % complete with a 119 million remaining to be spent. 5 million was spent during if third quarter. two projects were completed. at the end of the quarter there is only one project. four in construction and one in close out this shows come backs. there are budget costs as you can see in the slide. there were several changes in

scope. this forecast hasn't changed in the past several quarters. this is completed in the bay regions. next slide. this table summarized the number of projects that are forecasted to exceed the current approved schedules. agency you can see there are two projects forecasted to approve visit. this is the regional ground water that i just mentioned and also. this is the dam replacement project. we are excited to extend this clause out by 6 months. this contract can reach agreements. next slide, i'll show project

highlights. five contract bids were received. that's real great. the fish and wildlife were granted for construction. the forecasted project is a bit higher than the approved budget. this is due to see consequence analysis. the cost escalation of more than 7 year project delays. additional security and monitoring equipment added to the project, next slide. the regional ground water storage and recovery project the phrase one project is continuing with construction. the four day testing was completed at three well sites. pump repairs were performed at the well. for the phrase two work it was decided to divide the work

interview two construction contracts. phrase two a will go out to bid in the next quarter. this is work at multisites and various different things at different sites. we advertised that contract until right away permits and easement. this is the san francisco main well to the system. so, i mentioned before, the fish passage facility at the alameda creek dam. this contract is complete. we extended completion date to allow completion of of the contractors. there is a little bit of job order contract work to replace solar panels and batteries.

this is to improve the fall protection system. maybe the fish passage facility. as you remember the regional close out projects that took care of mislabous projects of each of the four regions. we have the project safety and complete two final scope items by the end of the next order, next slide for the peninsula. for the project they have a video camera for the spring dam bridge. they are designed and this project will be complete by august of this year.

the next slide. they were completed through the quarter. they finished all of the work and next slide. they completed all work on schedule. we are very happy and the project is completed with high success and we had great turnover to operations on these facilities. that completes my presentation for the water system improvement program. i'd be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you so much. i think last time you were showing us corrosion issues and both commissioners and i had questions about that. could you give us any update, the issue was you found more corrosion than you anticipated and doing a process but it had

a life cycle. i wanted to know why and would there be anymore and how you were dealing with that. >> yes, i apologize. we have not gotten back to you formally. staff prepared a short memo of the actions we are taking. one of the improvements done was to install protection to the well sites. the repairs are being made. we will follow up with you with a short memo the cause of the corrosion. the three well sites and also, we are adding in the phrase two contracts of all of the well sites. we haven't measured them at those sites. we think it could develop.

it's not measuring at this site. it's relatively inexpensive with the cost of the damage. we are adding that into that and it will be put in. in the report i will also include the life cycle of these facilities and the cost and maybe something about requirements. >> yes, that would be great. commissioner, anything else you would like to add to that. >> so i suggested this is the savings information. >> i do apologized for not getting that tow yo. >> thank you so much >> yes, commissioner. >> katy, thank you for the presentation. especially as it's all winding

down. you did a wonderful presentation in just the san francisco piece. it's like the head quarters of what was done a few months ago. there are a lot of details put into that we can see the presentation sometime soon the way it was presented. i don't know if you are going to--when this is completed you think of fleshing this out into the type of presentation. this is one of the success stories despite all of the instrumenting.s of a multiregional water system takes to maintain structure together. i don't know if there will be another, a bigger summery than this report that the commissioner saw today. comment on the first one and half ass question on the

second. >> yes, in terms of the presentation, i don't know if we posted that. we talked about posting that or distributing that internally. i will follow up with our team and make sure we get a copy to you. we will screen it for the external sharing. it was a wonderful presentation and would be great. in terms of the regional completion that won't happen until 2023. yes, we will absolutely have a celebration $4.8 billion is something to celebrate and i hope we can get back the people that worked on it over the years. so, yes, be looking forward to a large elabrasion in person check that occurs, thank you.

>> thank you, katy. >> mr. collins. >> yes, i'm here. i was wondering if we would have public comment on that item? >> yes, we are. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> madam secretary. >> anyone wishing to make two minutes of public comment on item 6c. please dial in.

>> any second of allers. >> no callers. >> i'm 6c is closed. >> madam president. there is capital improvement prograham by katy miller. katy, once again.

>> this is as of the end of the third quarter in march of 2021. this slide looks different than last quarter. that's due to you all approving our 2021 revised baseline. the revised program includes 25 regional and 11 local projects for a total value of $2.7 million. this is as well as several new projects. it excludes the projects that were previous completed. this pie chart shows three projects have not been initiated. 25 are in preconstruction and five are in construction and

close out so, we added a lot of new projects and back at the beginning of a new program. next slide. cost summery showing a summery cost forecast with the 2021 approved budget. we revised the baseline and no cost variants in the project at this time. let's hope the slide stays like this for the future. next slide, the table summarized the number of projects to exside the 2021 schedules. we revised there are no scheduled variances in the project at this time. next slide, please. for the regional water

enterprise cic, the majority of the 25 projects you can see are in the planning phrase. the next slide and project highlights. valley water treatment plant and ozone project is making significant progress during the planning phrase. this includes the team selected three important criteria for the facility. this photo shows an example of a fine confusion system at the bottom of the bubbles that ozone up. this was selected. next slide the water treatment plant and capital improvement plant on the replacement of fillered systems. that failed during the last two years.

this project is high priority for expedited design and start construction within the next two years. this is the project that started prior to the baseline. it's been working very fast on this. you get this out to construction we have full capacity at the treatment plant the pipeline number two lock bar replacement project completed construction. demobilize this. this is a significant projects to complete. the water treatment plant to the entire peninsula. this project in the last quarter.

do we have any callers? >> there is one caller. welcome to the line, caller, you have two minutes. >> good afternoon. wonderful presentation and a lot of money. here is the hidden skeleton. last week they had an open house and believe it or not. there is no announcement coming out. i get all of your correspondents and no one

tells us what events have taken place. i'd like to bring to your attention with all of these contracts contracts im begging you to take a look at those getting this worker. very few. if you look at cmp they are paid and financed as a direct payment. it's time they spent time coming up with shenanigans. it's paid by the cup. please, take a look at it. why would one contract have 6 % and the other have 19. i have a list of comments on every contract that will go over today and it's mind-boggling how blunt the disregard of diversity you talk about here. there is no diversity. there is one thing. there is discrimination in

contracting paid for by public work. thank you, i'll be back to you. >> thank you for your comments. >> madam secretary. there are no more callers. >> thank you, public comment is closed. >> thank you. >> i'd like to bring up one item on 6 e. this is on april 29th. this was a historic meeting where president maxwell and vice president moran met with the board of directors at the irrigation district. we met for about an hour. we discussed the agreement and discussed in general how we can move forward. while nothing was decided at

the meeting i think we did have something to come back and have an opportunity to discuss more about that. it might be an opportunity to look at other things we could do together. i would return to president maxwell. >> mr. morand. >> where that body is considered. areas were not just the 3a. just beginning to look at the process of how we can get

outside either encystational or river and approach some projects. that's just a very early stage of that. there is some energy. we'll take a look at that to see what opportunities there are. >> can i ask a question? >> certainly. >> what are the next steps with that. is it a concrete step they are meeting with you and president maxwell and comes from land or meet with them again. is it an open door to see what happens with the state? >> i think what we are trying to do. i appreciate the comments on

the plan being developed. i think--we are looking at what other things we can work on together. can we work on water supply projects. is there an opportunity even on the energy side for us to do things together. it's an exciting chapter and i think what we are trying to do is set up meetings on a periodic basis. we will make sure those meetings are productive. that's my goal to move forward. >> i know the projects will be mostly located at san francisco. >> that's correct. we are working in their service areas. >> specifically with respect to the meeting about the voluntary reagreement and limitation. there is a group we would like

staff to go out and identify. we are limiting actions and what kind of barriers there might be to that so we can address and get it back together for a voluntary low up discussion. somewhere in the range of a month. >> this is just out of curiosity. are there any

>> it will be something we should do more often, and they seem to be open to that. it was good having commissioner moran because he had a good history. thank you again. any further discussion? seeing none.

do we have any callers? >> there is one caller in the queue. you have two minutes, caller. >> thank you. this might fall under category of forgot this. we took a look at agricultural water management plan for mid and tid. they are charging $23 to farmers and tid $17. the intern who helped with that project had an op-ed published pointing out the huge problem with under charging the ago water customers. they don't play the cost of

delivery. they pay may 25%. it is to conserve and put in efficiency. they don't have a funding source to get those projects done, which makes this important to them. you have a good position. the president of mid board responded with an op-ed trying to justify the water rates and pointed out that if mid didn't care about the river why were they giving tid a grant for the education program. i believe this morning they voted to not grant that program any more. these are the people who you are dealing with. i feel sorry for you. they feel like we pointed out something that embarrassed them and they are not going to fund a

program that helps disadvantaged underserved children in the modesto area learn about the river. it is pretty shameful. i appreciate the fact the fftuc is more reasonable than the ag districts on this issue. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. there are no more callers in the queue. >> public comment on item 6d is closed. >> thank you. next item, please. >> next item 7. new commission business. >> i think we have had that. any new business, colleagues? commissioners? seeing none, then that item is closed. next item, please. >> item 8, consent calendar.

>> there are multiple caller inn the queue. >> your line is open. you have two minutes. >> david pill plow. on 8f. these may be some of the oldest sewers going way back. the proposed award is under the engineer's estimate reflecting good staff work. i support this project. in the future i would ask if you could include discussion on failures or maintenance cost of assets like this where applicable. that was just a reference to the chair but nothing about the failures or maintenance costs here. that would be going forward. where there is a protest like here please include all

correspondence. it is difficult for the public to evaluate what is happening with only about one side that didn't include correspondence from the protester or reapply. if you could find a way to post the staff slide presentations to the web. there is great information in some of the earlier presentations but they are not on the web. i would love to see them later on. thanks very much. >> next caller. you have two minutes. >> regarding this item. again, i refer your attention to the cnb letter. the project requirements 6%.

2021 they issued notice of nonresponsiveness because the contractor failed to meet 6%. do you believe this? in one case prior to that they slap him on the hand because he did not reach the goals. in this case is nonresponsive in this letter. there is not enough information provided because cathy how decided not to include what the full contractor has been going through to be nonresponsive. >> excuse me. again. i will caution you. we have asked you not to make a specific comment to one person. please keep comments general. >> commissioners, this has been going on for years and years.

there is no one who can look at these things and say there is no log under the fire. there is a huge fire. when you ask us to be respectful i ask the commissioners to be respectful of the general public as well. your staff are lying to you. several occasions. it takes me a lot to come to this conclusion. several occasions you get response from staff specifically cathy how, who is a liar. that is a fact. >> colleagues, -- the caller is off the line. >> there are no more caller in the queue. >> public comment on item 8f is closed.

>> may i have a motion and second? >> i will move. >> any comments? >> second? >> second. moved and seconded. roll call, please. >> president maxwell. >> aye. >> vice president moran. >> aye. >> commissioner paulson. >> aye. >> commissioner harrington. >> aye. >> commissioner ajami. >> aye. >> you have five ayes. >> moved and approved. thank you. next item, please. >> next item is 9. discussion only of the status and options regarding the selection process for the sfpuc general manager position and possible direction by the commission regarding that.

>> colleagues i am proud to be part of the leadership of this agency. leadership starts with the mayor. our leadership is at the top, middle, all throughout. this is a premier an agency. we have a $10 billion infrastructure project going on. that is leadership. there are regional programs all over the region. that is leadership. i am proud to be part of it. bond status is high. with power we are aa, which is unheard of. we are a solid organization. we have good fiscal responsibility. our people are good, top-notch. our engineers and some of on you sewers in place when abraham

lincoln was president. our people get those fixed. one day out and one day on. that is leadership. i think it is important that we understand we have 2.7 million customers. industrial, residential and commercial. we service those customers every single day. that is leadership. of course, we have our team of responsible city attorneys to make sure that our processes have integrity. i am very proud to be part of this organization. it is solid and thank you all for your leadership. i want to start with where we are in our status with our recruitment process. our gm hauler kelly resigned in november. the mayor appointed michael

carlin as acting gm. we determined we should have the city hr work with us in recruiting to have no conflict of about. conflict of interest. at the january meeting the department of human services presented us with an 8 point recruiting process and with four of the highest scoring respondents from their prequalified pool of recruitment firms. at the february 23rd meeting, we chose the hawkins company. they were recruiting for the southern california water district gm. we thought they are a good ear on the ground what was going on in the industry and who was out

there. they had done searches for the san francisco public library, airport on more than one occasion and robust stakeholder program and interview program which was very important. from that outreach we come from priorities and qualifications. we had basic qualifications in 2012 the last time. in the contract negotiations with the company and the city, i met with them on occasion to be introduced to the team and to talk more about the stakeholder and the interviews. they had started -- they completed interviews with the commission and they were going on to continue with the mayor and other people that we had deemed important for them to

communicate with. at that time and that was actually number 3 and the eight point process. in late april, the mayor announced she wanted to nominate city attorney for the general manager of the p.u.c. that is the status and where we are now. i have asked robert, who will be our attorney and our council on these -- first, are there questions or anyone else who would like to add anything to our status and what i said? seeing none, then i will go on. >> i am raising my hand. >> yes, commissioner paulson. >> i wanted to say that after we have this report i would like to

make comments. i want to continue after your speech to listen to the guidance. thank you. >> the attorney will introduce himself and counsel us and discussion with us the legal options regarding the next steps in the vetting and selection process of the gm. >> good afternoon. can you hear me? >> yes. >> thank you. i am rob c.u. ello, assistant with the county of santa clara advising the commission only on the issue of the selection and potential contracting for the general manager position. to avoid any image of impropriety since the mayor has

specifically identified mr. herrera as someone she is interested in appointing. city attorney recused itself. they advise you on all other matters. on this matter i have the good fortune to step in and try to assist you with respect to any questions or concerns you may have. just by quick overview, consistent with the charter as well as rules related to selection process, your role is to nominate a candidate or candidates to the mayor. the mayor's role based on the structure laid out in the charter and related rules is to make a selection from the individual or individuals who you nominate. as i understand it, you have begin a selection process.

at this point you have the ability to continue with that same process, to alter that process if you choose, to shorten it or to is that right an entirely new process. ultimately, the choice is yours as to what qualifications you want to consider in presenting a name or names to the mayor for consideration, which may include the individuals the mayor identifies. you clearly all know about her interest in mr. herrera and having you consider him. it is appropriate if you choose to do so to consider him when you conduct whatever interviews you choose to conduct as part of your closed session interview of anyone you choose to interview to include mr. herrera if you choose. that choice is yours. what is on the agenda for this meeting is the discussion of

just that process, and what i am happy to answer any questions you may have to the extent there are legal questions that arise. it is on the agenda for discussion as to what are next steps are. i would defer to you and any questions you have of me specifically if any and allow you to proceed with that discussion in terms what you would like to do next and what your options may be. >> thank you. commissioner paulson, would you like to make your comments at this time? >> again, a process question. this is on the full public agenda, and we have now heard from our council from santa clara. i have some comments. i think what i am hearing we are open to questions about process to the council. i don't have the specific question but i do have comments

about what i think that process politically has entailed based on what has happened from the beginning of the search process and the vacancy to now. if that is appropriate now or if we should just anybody has specific legal questions for the council, i will defer to you, president maxwell, as to whether or not you want my comments. >> i think it is appropriate for your comments and if anyone has any legal. they can make those. at this time it is very appropriate. >> i am going to again since this is public. i have been very committed since the beginning. we have not been deep into the process. you summarized it well, president maxwell. we have hired a firm and talked about criteria and interviewed and committed to a process. then the mayor made a selection

and made it very public that somebody who runs another city department who is her well respected and is elected in the city would be her preference to run this department through the vacancy. that being a comment. that just, very much changes the playing field. i am going to give one example. ly take my commission -- i will take off my commissioner hat. if i am tim paulson and live in sweden and i am the second most important, intel debt degreed -- intelligent person haruns water management and i saw this job opening and my partner happens to have all of the family living in the bay area, that would be something i might want to apply to. that would be part of the talent

pool that we wouldly looking at. tim paulson living in stockholm after he reads the mayor has made a decision that she believes is going to have a different person that she would like to lead that. that would not make me living in stockholm putting my resumes together. the process is more expedited in whatever ways it happens based on those comments. i just think that the ballgame has changed since the resignation as to right now, and i believe that we have -- let's get this position filled. i am not expressing where we are. i do hope we have guidelines to

move these to the next part of our process a little bit probably more tightly and not quite like we probably have been engaging in. i am finished. >> any further comments? commissioner harrington. >> commissioners, i have thoughts. i thought you were going through a process, madam president. >> i am finished. i gave a summary where we are. then we heard our council. notice it is open for discussion. >> i have similar thoughts to commissioner paulson in terms of what is possible out there. without regard to any kind of competent to any one, no doubts.

i think that it would be difficult to attract people who are aware of the industries that we are in when there has been a public statement about a preferred candidate. i have a concern to go through a process will not result in the top candidates that you would have liked to have seen. i think they will realize the world has changed. that is the reality of it. >> yes, commissioner ajami, did you have comments? >> maybe this is a different way of asking the same question. does this mean that we will depending upon what you said, you will continue going through the process? is this going to be the process and going to be going different

direction? that is my question. i think it goes to what commissioner harrington and commissioner paulson are mentioning for the understanding what is it that we are involved in at this point? >> i think they are different options. one is to have abbreviated. could you may be answer those better than i could. >> i will do my best. i likely will not refer to anything from stockholm or sweden to explain it. the point was actually well-taken. there is a political reality and there is a -- you want to make the best decision for the organization given the information you can obtain. what i will tell you is this. you control what that process is. you have the ability to say we want to shorten it substantially

and include the mayor's preferred candidate as someone we would like to talk to. you have the ability to continue what you had been doing previously including having your consultant interview additional folks to find out what the best qualification should be. that is truly a commission decision, not a legal one. the legal point that i will make is that the decision in terms what the qualifications should be in terms of determining what candidate or candidates you want to forward to the mayor is yours. the decision as to how many people to conduct outreach to and who and how long and what the focus of any interview should be is yours. ultimately what the mayor's is once the mayor get the candidate the decision is to choose from

that list, whether that is one person or multiple people. you do not have the authority to appoint anyone yourself. the mayor has the ultimate decision. the mayor does not have authority to appoint anyone with out a list from you. there needs to be agreement who the person should be and what you have the ability to discuss in this meeting as noticed what is the process you want to take? you have a consultant. do you want to use the consultant or not? you have the ability to interview folks with qualifications. you want to expedite the discussion to make certain that you are making the right decision? you have a lot of authority as it relate to both process and determining qualifications and who to interview. ultimately determining who to forward. the decision as to who to

appoint is ultimately the mayor's and the mayor's alone based on the list of candidates which would be one or more you provide to the mayor. you have the ability. in fact to provide three or more if you choose. you also have the ability and authorities to provide one. providing a list of multiple people is for the mayor's convenience. your job is to determine what is qualified under the charter so that you can forward on the list of names, name or names. the mayor is not required to select anyone you pass on and could ask you to go back to the well and consider additional people if that is the mayor's at that time. >> president maxwell, this is getting a legal decision.

san francisco is probably as transparent city as anywhere in the united states. if we are not, then we try harder to do that. i know that commissioner ajami was getting close to a legal question about process to you after commissioner harrington and i made the

policies what is legal and not legal and what we recuse ourselves from. i want to make sure that all five of us are not doing something. anyway you got my point. >> i think that is why we have our counsel to guide us through this. commissioner moran. >> thank you. first of all, with respect to the comments made, i agree.

the mayor's indication of candidate to be appointed does have a depressing aspect on potential candidates applying. i think that is a fact. it is also true the mayor has the ultimate choice on this. the other thing about the process that i would like to comment on is that we had set out as part of the process to -- the way i thought of it was to take a moment to assess where we are as an organization, what challenges we have looking forward, get a sense from our various constituents as to what they thought we might want to do differently and take advantage of this opportunity of a leadership change to make sure that we set that leadership

direction in a way that meets our needs and the needs of our constituents. i think that is tremendously valuable and incredibly rare. this process has an opportunity to do this. given the issues we are dealing with it is more important than it might otherwise be to go through that process. i would like to see some way of continuing with that process. i think there are a couple mentions of saying perhaps this needs to just be sped up. we thought this could take a fair amount of time. it probably makes sense to try to compress that and make it more efficient. i think the objective of taking the time to take a good measure where we are and to set the

stage for the next genral manager, whoever they might be,tor a very clear sense what the challenges are, what our expectations of that person would be. that is just a comment. the second part of the process is selecting somebody using this as an opportunity to take a measure where we are and where we are headed. >> commissioner moran, i agree with you wholeheartedly. we should continue with some form of outreach. it is important for the people we serve. our stakeholders. also for people to feel part of the process. again, i think it would be helpful to whomever reget so they have an idea. i would think we could certainly decide on the stakeholders, ask the hawkins group. they are still there.

how long it would take or tell them how long we want it to take and who we think are the key stakeholders. i think as i mentioned earlier, we haven't done this since 2012. the industry has changed and we certainly have changed. it is important for whoever is coming in to know what is going on. i appreciate that and i think that is some direction that we could possibly abbreviate that process, but we could still have that process. >> one quick comment here. i think being in this pandemic and everything virtual provides an opportunity to do this in a less invasive way time wise so you don't need to bring people from stockholm here to

interview. i also agree that this is a great process to help usury evaluate what you really want. i think regardless of the outcome if you learn something about ourselves and what is the best practices out there, potentially changes the expectations for whoever ends upcoming, you know, whatever they bring in. how they can use the best practices in different ways. i think i agree the process can be very informative on its own as well. regardless of what happens. potentially people might be more willing to be part of the process since it is not as invasive time wise and they don't need to travel and take the time to be part of the

process. >> i think maybe we are talking about two different things. i think of the stakeholders that are already. >> i agree. even if we end up like identifying people. i agree with the stakeholder process. that is very important. if we don't end up with the process throughout and end up with a list of people throughout the interview processes we can come up with some idea of some thinking around what are the things that we need or some new ideas? >> i agree. we had envisioned the utility of the future. we were looking for somebody with a vision. anyway, i think what i am hearing is that we want to

continue some form of this process. it looks like the stakeholder. we could decide on who that would be and certainly i am sure our citizens advisory committees, our community partners to some extent and we could decide on what that would look like. >> any further? commissioner harrington. so glad to hear your voice. you have been quiet. >> i think what you are saying makes sense, commissioners. i am trying to clarify. there is a strategic plan. what normally happens is identification of the ideal candidate. talk to the stakeholders and say the ideal candidate would have

these abilities and that kind of stuff. then compare your candidates to that kind of ideal. is that what we are looking at here? >> i think that could be, yes, part of it. yes, i think so. also, talking to the hawkins group maybe we could have them come in and talk about this. they were saying that is how you come up with qualifications and priorities. maybe they are not too far from each other, i am not sure, but we could certainly have them come in after talking to all of you. they do have a summary of that and they have the qualifications that we had in 2012 so we can look at those things. i think it is probably a combination of all of that. we could certainly have them come in and talk about it. even maybe take howard, the

person we worked with from the city's hr department. >> yes, commissioner moran. >> i think commissioner harrington to your question. i think the strategic direction has been set and it may be modified. this is not the enterprise to go and revisit the whole strategic plan. [please stand by]

fy farther comments after this discussion. >> no comments for me. >> any one else? so, i guess my takeaway we are in an agreement that would we would have a process of

stakeholders comments and communication interviews. we would determine what that looks like. we would ask them the time frame they would like to have it in. we have a good list of what we would like to interview and go forward. one of the--one of our--the interview group we were thinking about is our employees. we would be considering them and what they thought about. that's extremely important. if you come in you need to know what they are thinking about and what they are looking for and what they would like to see.

it could be helpful. with that i could come back appeared i can have the hawkens group come back. i can give you the timeline and what that would look like. i can come back. that we would like to make it continuous. does that seem like we are on the right track and that's doable? >> it's consistent with your with your authority. one thing you would like to consider is when to reconvene on the topic. there was expression on trying to ensure it's moving forward ensteady forinr

instead of hoovering out there. all of that is within the sermon today. >> in which the forum were-- >> with respect you convene as a body. you discussed transparency and you have to notice under the brown act and sunshine ordnance with respect to qualification and process. you have the ability if you chose to appoint a subcommittee to the extent you want to have that subcommittee to refine candidates and qualifications. he would make that appointment decision and the type of

convening of your public commission meeting. what happens in close session is the developing interview questions and things like that. this is under your selection of the general manager under the agenda. >> doing this out loud right now. just what the general public it's wonderful. with the commissioners and process forward. >> i think it should be reconvened for next meeting. that's, i believe the 27th .

so, at that time--at that time we would have a better look at stakeholders, timelines, and how that would work. >> just to confirm the next meeting is may 25th. >> may 25th, thank you. >> i'd ask them how many and how long you would take them

to do that and if they could have it done it would be simply great. that's what would happen. did you have-- >> i just gave a thumbs up. thank you so much. colleagues i guess we will open this up to public comment. >> thank you. >> does the public wish to make public comment on item number 9. please limit your comments to the topic of the agenda item being discussed. the chair can interrupt and ask you to keep your comments

to the comment. please make remarks to the commission as a whole and not just to staff. do we have callers? >> madam secretary, there are three callers wishing to make public comment. hello, caller, you have two minutes. >> commissioners first and foremost we need to do assessments. we had a process that has been interrupted by the mayor. the manager and should

investigate it. this is part of the investigation with the attorney. the attorney with the parks. we don't know, right now, when it comes to the challenge all of you are doing the right thing in the right place. don't forget this is is a dark cloud. this is an investigation.

it's my only out. they are jumping slip like rats. thank you very much. >> any other public come ? >> next caller your line is open and you have two minutes. >> this is with the riffer trust. i'd like to make an observation in december of 2018 under the leadership the state water board adopted the plan amendment after a year of studies and hearings and public comments. in january, the term was up and governor newsom didn't

reappoint here and sent a chill throughout the water board. since then the plan has been on hold. it has had very little movement. everyone is waiting for the governor to work his magic. we haven't had an update on the agreements since february of 2020. meanwhile, they are really suffering. san francisco, it's unusual that the water agency is appointed when you think about it. you get valley water and every other agency elected. so, sometimes it's unclear what your role is. for example, the lawsuit didn't come before the commissioner. that was made by the mayor and attorney's office. you are in a challenging position here. i wish i had good advice.

>> thank you. twined >> any comments? >> next caller your line is open. >> can you hear me now? >> loud and clear. >> it's david again. on item nine. i'm concerned about the nomination of the attorney as it general manager. i opposed this position. we had michael for that time i still believe. he does a fine job and would do a fine job. i recognize the allegations and they are still allegations about the contracting and optics around that. i prefer a utility manager at the puc as a member of the

public. it seems important and is important to me. a note, not just the callers before me. we would be considered stakeholders and we might be be interviewed. i would like to know how much ratepayer money has been spent so far on the general manager selection process. those are my comments at this time on item nine, thank you. next caller your line is open. you have two minutes.

>> thank you. good afternoon. it's the time required and right now we are fleshing the card. no one in san francisco or bay area or public utilities commission would be into politics in the city and county over the 26th. i have been involved in it. this is a game and the game is continuing. would you believe if i told you the city attorney doesn't have an official e-mail address. nobody can e-mail him and you can always and you have no idea, that's a fact. it's also a fact $19 million

of public money that was given to the lateral project. this is where cameras came in and we will clean it up for you and replace it for you. who was involved. this is at the city attorney's office. this is a document of four pages i just got today. it was sent to the board of supervisors and that's on the record. if you were apart of this you would know the claims listed on the new city website are a hoax. finally, one thing and one thing only. cleanup the managers that have been engaged in depriving the public from the truth, just like what we witnessed today. there are policies to

address. thank god i'll go back to work anymore. >> thank you for your comments. madam secretary, there are no more callers in the queue. >> public comment on item nine is closed. >> thank you, next item please. >> next item is item tenement approve the forum of an authorized general manager to execute multiple documents concentrate cuted acquitted facility agreement. the amount not to exceed 100 million for the banking corporation for aspiring agreement

>> i'm with the funding and water enterprises capital improvement program. we would like to approve several documents. next slide please. first a brief overview. this is the water enterprises capital program doing the design in advanced of taking on the long-term debt. the wastewater and funding program at capital program.

the funding program provides low cost financing. this is at a rate of 1 %. this is left by a total of 500 million and comprised of two components. $5 million and comprised of a three series. it was separate letters. $100 million component comprised of one series involving credit lines where the puc is able to draw funds from the bank. on this slide you will see the four different series for the water funding program. i'm ruling to do a-1/a-1-t. this is from bank of america and expires next week.

if approved it would be replacing a new bank letter of credit. this is a replacement facility and not adding new debt to the program. this was included in fiscal year 2020. next slide please. this is the replacement facility. we conducted a competitive request solicitation. it was sent to the 12 prequalified banks in the facilities pool. five were submitted to the bank of america. this is the lowest proposal and principal management of $100 million with banking

corporations. the letterover credit will be placed on the bank of america credit. they would have a term of 4 years and annual fee oaf .3%. this is with a reduction of the bank of america to represent $54,500 there is the annual fee amount. the annual fee won't exceed the credit market. it's just like they did last year just after covid-19 hit there was so much demand on bank credit. it increased dramatically.

last years fees doubled. this is the credit crunch with the increase. the good news is bank credit has normalized and invested in covid-19 wealth. this is one of the largest banking institutions. they support municipal programs throughout the united states. it should be noted that they also provide a letter of credit in the principal amount

of $200 million. it's such a strong credit worthy. following the agreement with replacement credit facilities to be backing corporations. the reimbursement agreement with the bank that contains the letter of credit. the first amendment to the issuing and paying agent. next slide, please this concludes my presentation on the item. i'm happy to take any questions at this time. thank you. >> thank you, colleagues, any comments or questions on this item. yes, commissioner. >> i just have one comment. i just somehow or another. it was good policy you just

presented right now. covid-19 comes in and people are hurting for money including businesses and banks decide they will raise rates, because they need to as opposed to hurting others and they are running out of money. they have raised rates as opposed we go to 800,000 because they told us to. unfortunately, you know, there are certain people that really did, you know, make a lot of money during did corresponds of the course

pandemic. so, it could. >> thank you for the comments. any farther comments on this? commissioner haarington. >> thank you, one thing that bothers me a bit on this one. the program makes sense to me and works fine. we would have 300 million of our 500 million tied up. is there a limit? what is the limit? what makes sense? >> i have a question commissioner. there is no legal limit. we could put all 500 million with that bank.

a-2-2 -t letter of credit wil expire in a year. this double exposure will last for one year. i wouldn't have concentration concentration of 500 million. i wouldn't recommend that at all. there the course of the one year given it's a strong credit worthy entity it's acceptable. when you go out next year you need the change your policy or something that says we will limit within this. so we don't end up with this again. >> would you repeat that, please?

>> would you repeat that? >> we don't invite them next year we don't have to accept the bid ? >> okay, commissioner. >> i'm shaking my head because i agree. >> it's a very good comment

they should address comments. >> thank you, thank you mr. morales and thank you for your work and leadership. >> thank you any other questions or comments. >> businessmeners that wish to make two members of public comment on item ten please dial in. we ask that you reframe from public profanity.

mr. moderator, do we have any callers. >> there are two callers in the queue. hello, caller, your line is open. i'm with the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods speaking on my own behalf. icon cur this should be tabled or opposed. it's incomplete. mr. brown has made specific recommendations as to what additional data is needed, thank you.

>> are no more callers from the cue. >> may i get an emotion [roll call] >> thank you. the next item please. >> next item is item 11 approved object 275-1801 the required kaleidoscope environmental quality findings including a statement of conindividual regulations and mitigation monitoring program

this is an applicable loss. i ask the general manager to execute an agreement a not cost and easement through the memorial park. subject to approval of the easement. this is for the purposes of seqa. this was presented by. >> mary. >> i'm sorry, mary. >> good afternoon madam president and commissioners. i'm mary and i'm the pc project manager for the southern skyline boulevard and

extension project. as cay miller mentioned earlier the final eir for the project was certified by the planning commission by the end of april. we are here to hopefully teacher approval for the project the proposed project will construct to segments of trail in the pa in pas innocence la watershed. the other a six mile trail segment out of route 92 next slide, please. >> construction of the southern skyline trail will add a of mile segment on watershed land to the bay area ridge australia. a notion that was initially addressed in the peninsula

watershed management plan adopted by the commission in 2001. you can see in the photos, you know, the unparallel views as well as the pristine route for the bay register area trail. next slide please this particular slide shows the context for the trial; you know, also goes to one of the objectives. 3-1 is to provide greater access to watershed land. the other is to build on the network of regional trails that exist around our reservoirs, crystal springs as

well as other reservoirs. thirdly, to protect the drinking water in the reservoirs as well as the national resources that exist on watershed land on a peninsula around the reservoirs. you can see on this particular slide the green line is the property that is zoned and managed by the puc. the black lines are exsiggsing trails the k hill trail is north of where we'll do construction south of the project, you can see some of this dashed red line our plans on the particular we will be

constructed as part this is north of 92. you can see east so west of this very line. the 6-mile long of ridge trail extension is south of 92 and south of the skyline. this is the lower block. next slide, please. we are talking about specific emprovements and are included in the project. first we'll talk about the area north of 92 where we have access to trails. the goal is to provide

reactional stuff for all possible users. this will be a relatively flat trail acceptable to all it will be adjacent to existing k hill trail just north of the cemetery gate. this is near the skyline cemetery just south of cemetery gate we will constructure 50 car parking lots. there will be a restaurant available for trail users. this is as mentioned. they will be the transfer of easement currently held by the bay area ridge australia across the sky long cemetery to the puc at no cost. this particular trail will be

managed by a super advice access meaning that hikers trail users will be accompanied. this is part of this project okay, now we are looking at the southern alignment this is south of route 92 just west of the reservoir.

this is part of the trail and open space which is a open spacemanage by open space this segment of trail will provide access to other trails on the west side of the reservoir. this is a 20 car parking lot at the northern end on the trailhead. there are improvements, two restrooms along the trail. for this particular segment access will be sun supervised. users will be required in advance of their visit to secure to hike, bike, or ride

along the trail. this segment of the trial will have wildlife friendly fencing on both sides. next slide, please. so, the--as katy mentioned the baseline schedule for all of these water cip projects have just been adopted. for this particular one we anticipate that you will hear this item again when we award a contract to a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidders in the fall of 2021. that construction will begin at the start of 2022 with approximately a year and half for construction.

with me or on the line today there are a number of those in the development of the eir. we have scott and perhaps irena from the pucs. we have tim johnson from the planning department. his expect the development of the eir. lastly, to answer any questions you might have about it. it's also here and he manages the pucs natural resources and land management. are there any questions?

>> no. >> yes, commissioner. >> no. >> no, i had a question but commissioner herrington was ahead of me. >> thank you very much. thank you for the information. full disclosure i have been a member of this group for a long time and we welcome this kind of extension. they are trying to never have an over riding concern. we have specific issues near highway 92 what we can and cannot do. it's a different thing to make those findings.

this will be useful to the record. >> scott, this might be a question for you. >> i'm scott thuman the bureau of environmental management there are a number of reasons why we are seeking to over ride most, well, actually all the reasons are in finding documents we are trying to reference that at the same time. it would require us to, let me get to this.

either a pedestrian bridge across highway 92 we don't have the legal authority and transcend into an agreement. they did comment on the dir and they said it could be considered feasible for impacts of the project but only when caught in traffic concerns. >> we did consider preliminary evaluations of the crossing and the planning department. there is mitigation. although, the final design and

implementation of the crossing depending on future decisions. right now in cal tran is engaged in public process. that was quiet extensively. we are planning to continue. we are working we participate in the processes. we will work with the disciplinary agencies that could include designing, planning, and funding. they constructed future

transportation. right now it's always because of legal reasons. there is also a question of funding for this as well. we have some funding estimates in the findings and it was approved by cal tran. it would cost more than the entire project. now, we would probably have some sort of caution but it's on how much that would run. okay. were there any other questions

on that? >> just a comment, first of all, thank you so much and thank you for your presentation. a response to commissioner's comment. if i recall correctly one reason you decided to have the parking lot at that specific location was incase we later saw the pedestrian bridge or walkway it would be more accessible there is a lot of thinking about something else. >> that would be a question for tim ramirez. tim. >> thank you, scott.

tim roll rammer recognize. it's not near the crossing as it is building what it can now and leave room for options later. there is more than a 6-mile gap in the county the trail doesn't go right up to the road along highway 92. it goes to the south. cal tran set this up to use. people won't be able to go across the street. we don't want them to do that. we would like them to stay on that side. we wanted to have the this in anticipation. >> just a quick comment.

this is an example somehow, the project we are seeing this. >> the staff combined different forces of funding. we got the alignment ten years ago and the grant is for

construction. >> thank you. commissioner herrington. anymore comments, questions, seeing none i'd like to open it up to public comment. i'd remind you. limit your comments.

please make sure it's in a civil manor. that the individual. do you have any callers? >> we have three callers in the queue. caller, your line is open and you have two minutes. >> hi, commissioners. i'm representing the regional council. i'm excited to speak in support of approving the southern skyline ridge project. to the next and best phrase.

the ridge trail extension is one of our largest projects. this is a 50-mile continuous trail. there is a need for broader access. the new ridge trail extension will be available to the public. a similar system added to the existing system however we would like to focus our attention today on improving and implementing the skyline ridge trail extension.

this will support the submission. >> thank you for public comment >> can you hear me now? >> loud and clear. >> on item 11, the extension project. there are several attachments here. i went through them as best i could and i have no issue with this document. thank you to staff on that. there are issues to balance trail access. i think staff has done a great job of doing that i support the project and looking forward to farther work and commission action. i have been on a small segment

there. i think, they made that commitment verbally and i trust that mary's involvement i assume there wouldn't be speed lights involved. >> thank you, can you hear

me. this is part of the project. as you heard, the extension something else that you mentioned this is the only skyline trail. it's what you call access. what does this mean, it would empower them.

the permit program for the department is reasonable resource for public access. my hope is when you show success. the approval in front of you will allow them to extend the success. it's such a limiting process. members of the public need flexibility. it has limited options. it's a much wider. it will enable all of the access. also i saw earlier the budget has been approved for this. i'm looking forward. thank you.

item 11 is closed. >> thank you. may i have any farther discussion? may i have a move and second on this item please? >> all move. >> all right, move and seconded. secretary role call, please. we have five ayes. >> next item is item 12 approve the plans and specifications. in the amount of 26,276,000. the duration of 1,093

consecutive calendar days. subject to supervisors. this is part of requiren'ts 6.2 of the code. >> thank you mr. lyman. >> any comments before we start? i'd like to make one. i read this and on the edge of my seat. i thought who will get it. i think it's very well-done and i appreciate it. sanding side by side. it was suspenseful and great. thank you so much, mr. lyman. >> good afternoon commissioners. i'm greg the construction.

that's required by the administrators. this is awarded.

>> you are still on. >> thank you, it's sinked with the major shutdown. approval will allow them to be rea bill at a timed during those longmonts this is deliverability. portions on the low these circular covers.

>> this includes the rims. next slide please. >> they are replacing the internal mechanisms. this will again rat electricity as it extends. you can see how large that is. that ends the slide show. the project was helping water and power. the teams with three solicitations over the past decade they had a limited numb bier prior to and during the solicitation that ended on

february 4th of this year. february 23 of this year they authorized staff to negotiate with all qualitied contractors. staff reached out and after discussions two contractors boys hydroselected not to negotiate. the this is so i can comply. they decided not to bid or participate in negotiations this is in north carolina and commenced negotiations consider waving the

coordinates. there is a bid anderson proposals were evaluated over the area. manufacturing and payment schedule they are priced. terms and conditions. as president maxwell said, they were very equal on the technical approach schedule. they were differences. there are ordinances that need to be waved. anderson's proposal was

1.8 million less than ge, the general manager said they provided four favorable terms and conditions and insurance coverage. ward this concludes it. this is accepting the changes. staff is in the contract. >> anymore questions or

comments? commissioner. >> commissioner, so, i read through this and i guess now that you say there were certain requirements that were waved to get down to that limited contractor pool what pieces could you very quickly explain what ordinances may or were waved. they are still attached to this motion. >> yes, g. e. will need a

waver. they do not offer benefits to domestic partners. this is with ademocratification. if we are liable for it we will be pairing for our formations of it. >> just those two? >> i don't know if i can throw them out there. you still have to go to the board of supervisors. i want to make sure--

>> okay, thank you. >> we did go through these with ge in great detail. we did our best and i'd like to acknowledge the attorney here did a job trying to get as few changes as possible. we work with risk manager people look at the changes and they felt very comfortable in the end that was being transferred to the statement >> right, i'm fully aware of san francisco having so many wonderful requirements. i just want to make sure by something. there are other commissioners

that fast. >> thank you, commissioner jonny. >> i have a question do has to contractors provide post insulation or postaction. i'm trying to understand. >> they do the maintenance and operating. we do have warranty.

they acquire the contractor to repair. >> it took ten years depending on what is the cause. >> the opportunity to have any training. they will be maintaining this. >> i'm going to ask, i know the project manager is with us

tonight. >> can everybody here me. >> yeah, i have a question. the city work force. for the life of the maintenance, they have preventative maintenance. some are yearly, some are 3 years and five years. it was electrical testing. there is mechanical testing. a lot of that maintenance is within our own work force,y, i understand that. i wonder since this is new they provide any training to

our maintenance crew, where it's routine maintenance every 3 to 5 years. some of this is new. some people were born when they were put in. now there is new, that's completely new. what that does is test the health of the generators.

>> this is operations. you get anomalies for discharge. it will pick up on that through monitoring you will be able to foresee any kind of failures there will be training on that as well >> maxwell spoke about

maintenance. the contractor being proposed with training for the folks doing the installation and region ration. not just the maintenance but actual >> the requirements are part of the contract >> the contractors said they are part of the aprintership program >> there are two positions and they are seeking relief from

local requirements >> great, thank you. >> anymore discussion on this item? >> members of the public, 0001. raise your hand to speak press star 3. load your comments and if you don't stay on topic. this is a respectful manner.

address the remarks to the commissioner as a whole. >> do we have any callers? >> we have two wishing to be recognized. >> hello caller. your line is unmuted. >> hi, again. i'd like to bring your attention i'm not going to name the contracts tor but they decided not to miss any lves. however, they did list the following terms.

wow, again. we have a contracts here they decided not to include anything. zero. we have a lawyer by the name of greg who sits here with all of the song and dance of the sitting room. lves. there is no lves that can do nothing. there is no lves. there is no lves that can get there. all of that just whipped off this is the policy and the problem we have with these

contracts. for the record. on friday, june 29th 2018. this is part of the meeting for him. for the out-of-the world program i came up with to accelerate the theme and lves. guess what happened. several that i came up with just vanished. apparently lves are irrelevant. >> thank you for your comments. next caller your line is open. you have two minutes.

>> i'm sure that's why she was interested in this project. i read the item carefully. i sigh the risk trade-offs and the waver issues i good evening leave i understand the critical coordination schedule bottom line i agree with the fast approach. i note it's still

>> secretary, there are no more callers in the queue. >> item 12 is closed roll call vote. i have five eyes. >> the item is item 15.

specifications 2868. in the amount of 13,000,086 thousand. to the response it where you with the construction companies >> good afternoon commissioners, can you here me now. >> yes. >> i'm ryan i'm the project manager for the replacement program. it's the local water as needed

21-24. they where neuroing completion. this agenda item is the request towards a new paving contract the engineers estimate for the contract was 15,900,000. three bids were received ranging from 13,876,000. this contract supports the this is box repairs and insulation and replacement. the pavement ordinances.

they include placing concrete pavements and concrete base and severed. curb ramp construction and back ho and traffic control. some of the examples of the work that's done through the multiyear year the second on the upper right shows placement of concrete for around new meter box installment the lower left photo shows the concrete base, the bottom right photo shows baseball pavement restoration. thank you commissioners. let me know if you have any questions.

>> any questions or comments. >> another question, so, >> the last contract did we spend it all. i'm just curious. also are with coordinating we other departments in case they are doing work we are share the costs like repaving the roads and other things happening. do we have any specific savings from that. >> for the first question, in terms of using the entire contract capacity we are nearing the end of that. i don't have the specifics.

i'm happy to get back from you. we are at the end of the contract and authority approved by the commission. >> is it the time or amount? >> i believe we are nearing the end of both. i'd be happy to get back on the specifics of where we are at. we coordinated with other city

agencies >> the maintenance there is at the presenticly less coordination because it's not, it's a small impact to the public is there a systemic way one street is under construction by another department and we can coordinate it it's an automatic way of doing this. i understand the main replacement is easy. he planned it and figured out who is doing what.

>> the central distribution division will coordinate if there is other work in the area. >> yes, there is a city wide committee. they have to bring their work to have it scheduled so we know what everybody is doing on a particular street. this is so we can coordinate the work. if we, the suer enterprise came in and did something. pge might do something on the same street or, you know, comcast cable or someone

else. in san francisco. the metropolitan area. the department of public works there are multiple departments that are digging in the same area people that do the work do wonderful work people want a lot of stuff done and the coordinations get complicated there are tables for that to happen and takes a lot of time. the answer is yes. i witnessed it quiet a bit in

my day jobs. >> thank you, thank you mr. free born. any farther comments or questions? seeing none public comment >> to make public comment dial in. if you don't stay on topic the chair will ask you to limit your comment. refrain from use of profanity. please address your remarks the commission as a whole and not just staff.

do we have any callers? >> we have two callers s in the queue wishing to be recognized. >> thank you again, cmdagain the contract and requirements have been established at 5 %. it's picked up at 5 %. you don't know how many contractors can use curb and gutter i can count 10 if not 20. they were paid for by the

commission. let me give you an angle to it as well the contract has been a problem for years and years. it's been a platform of discrimination two middle east earn companies whipped off and this is a third one. i'm no going to mention their name but it's been in the city for 15 years. they brought an expensive machine. what do you think happens when you invest 2 million in equipment and the city and county supporting small firms don't give you an award. kathy sat in front of us for

three times on the record admitting and lying when she said she never received any. >> excuse me caller, we have asked you not to mention anyone in particular, please stick to that. >> caller, you still there? >> i am. >> you have 15 seconds. >> thank you. >> 15 corrects. with all do respect respect is earned. it's not given. the civil and respectful that means staff has to be civil and respectful. you have a general manager that took a trip with a general manager, is that respect. >> it's the fact that cathy came in.

>> i think he's finished. >> caller, your time is up. >> next caller your line is open, you have two minutes. >> can you hear me now? >> sounds good. >> i think the last time today. so, i believe the entity michael was referring to was letters ason. i always appreciate hearing about this. as we grind to the end of the agenda. i'm sorry. it's a proposed award that's also under the engineers estimate all of the awards in the estimate. staff is doing a great job

getting good bids for the public. we could ask staff if they could take a moment or two to explain the elements. it's under the engineers estimate but the work is done by order. are the payment components by time and materials? by foot or block or mile? i just couldn't tell from the documents since the scope is unknown and the work will be done by task order. how the work was bid here. that's all i was trying to understand. otherwise, i'm good. thank you very much and i believe this is my last comment for today. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. madam secretary, no more callers in the we can. >> queue.
