water that is encompassed and nother reminder in our numbers we includen held for attrition savings as well as projectunded positions our numbers may appear higher than other cities dartments and for this point i'm going to turnryov will talk about the specific strategies that hetch hetchy has done in collaboration with hr s. >> thank you, wendy. >> can you hear me? . okay. >> hetch hetchy water is roughly 200 andoyees with pcs and responsible that 85 percent of water for7 san fr

and cleanlectrical power we're very small portion of a val mission and 34rez are responsible fortion s from the in yosemite nationally national p on the power side and almost the width of sta lifoia. and employees have a wide range o characterizations and skill sets to maintain the system a in this case, the studied we looked at thee have recruiting and retaining the workforce in aftermath of covid pandemic how we built the partnership to overcome the challenges and way we've in this slide we speak on this the critical positions namely technicians and

engineering positions and can see the vacancy rate for those positions is 21 percent in june of 2021 and two - there are significant a power al quacks in the loss technicians have responsible for the day to day operation of the water and theersystems. and because hetch hetchy wateras assets connected to the bhiblg system of united states those are highly regulated because this staff is typical loss ofyees the existing employees work right thing to do and longer over time shi we need to train now staff as so s nd certification ificant requirements for those positions utility not go into the process takes several years we need

training processes and fully stng years best case scenario. engineering staff are critical for the hetch hetchy project and most are ware a worldwide share of electrical positions would requir out of boxes thinking and hiring strategies. this chart is the hetch hetchy vacancies soh vacant have i prosecute from 21.6 at 2021 to 17.2en of fiscal year 24 or a net g ccess story and this is huge gallows had a right work a let me explain and i'll dive into the strategies we use the net

and technicians and power system operators. a one is location. month commitments through the smarters the city system are applying for a n francisco. one that we have in common across the city thef boarding and waiting opening and i'm going to turn it over to wevendz to talk about we address the challenges. >> thk and it is very, very important for collabio the partners we regularly hold recruiting minutes with hetch hetchy and meet them in-person and assist with the employee events but actually see in-person the work th our crystal colleagues were aredog. so we basically hold meetings where we discuss highly

specialized position and voepsts that classification and look job training revolves developing finding the actual work our colleagues will be performing our in-personlaration has been important to us but it is a link term process as has been said and we look forward owe to - to to build the relationships pursue critical and only as team we make a dents. i'm goio to sheryl. >> great. >> affiliation to the pa hr s we built partnerships in community and use misrepresent recruiting channels anlt a database of commitments. we are waiting

i like to thank hetch hetchy water team wearing the ones appearing before you the results of day to day work of our talented and dedicated and hard i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> well, i'm srt off by saying thank you for one area of engineering needs and spoefshg t stuff this is important. i think as we said d said we all said the hiring, you know, for the city of san francisco is not just, you know, what the civil service necessary itself but highly skilled folks having targeting, you know, an electrical engi■uer one thing i'm trying to look back in terms i have one

question the in highway local 21 represents the engineers of the pa good, bad or ugly or link in terms of outreach in finding folks like like other departments but ngn the labor movement i don't care you're a teacher ever generate whand everyone organization has an outreach wed firefighters that type of stuff is that a good resourceocal 21 for that type of resource to tap thhateol we need to do this job. >> long question but i think you got it. generally speaking i'll let sherylme we meet with the labor partners and talk

about the recruitment strategy and happy to get ferry building may know of a way of advertising and we've gotten feedback that is valuable in our >> good that answers any question buan continue to answerat >> i don't have any anything to add. >> commission >> i have a technicalquestion. slides don't have but the challenges of recruiting in otherareas. i didn't get how if you addrd those like a long list all important and valid. so like howre we addressing f housing crisis or childcare or healthcare options?

>> you know, all those are doesn't matter if you recruit. >> each one strategies - each we have a list of strategies that we do. so lack of housing we have temporary housing in - we set aside a certain portion of that housing for hard to recruit positions. that means we know that we are recruiting electrical jerks f and they'rere need to help tm solve the housing problem um, to get them to come hetch hetchy we is multiple strategies around housing. um,ld we work where community partners and have voted a relationship with other entities in our our area that have childcare faults

facilities each has a specific set of strategies we're using to get around that challenge i don't know if they're any. >> (multiple voices.) >> you want to talk about housingtic you're not the one ones. >> the cyber ta how people can'ty homes until they have cash no homesve without insurance that is a big problem. so you might provideseone temporary housing by next year they will figure out something but not it is ongoing issue. and somehow i don't know like the solution is there but people don't like to have rental for a long-term because they start a

job want to have a home. so needs a serious strategy i brought it up last time but the city f insures all the assets themselves had the conversation last meeting. and so is there like i don't know likeolices that we can actually get help people to provide insurance for their homes? i don't know if it is solution i kno for the tying the industry but don't all the policies for example, is there a way we can build housing that can actually used beyond a temporary um, for example, i'm t like ideas out there; right? for example, stanford

universities owns the land and don't own the what they're leasing have to lease isry specific rules associated with those housing that goes to faculty want to make sure they provider in the areas have i know you the same thing we might need something more long term because you ed to be able to explain the housing and childot something that comes and goes and if the market picks up and le in other places we can lose some of the people that need childcare. don know march you have those but

like to see um,s there some way to come up with ideas are them or not? >> yeah. i'll say in terms of like long-term policies that types of polic decisions we really haven't worked onhose but we had had is we are building a relationship with candidate we'll take them around the neighborhs they can see is housing options i can tell you that theax and the insurance is kind of slipped what you'll expect in the bay area we can giv them an idea had 234e will pay for fires insurance and housing insurance but um, they'll see aeduction if they have a house in the bay

ara another urban area in the property taxes so from side we're trying to educate people and had they can expect if ey in our area i'm the long run but we'reing with fire ankle an increase cost a realistic expectation i don't haveolies solutions. and maybe policy solutions can be some that we as a commission can think about i this guys should d to us with years on policies and helpe kroouts talented candidates someone >> thank you for your effort. >> had similar questions on

the same e commissioner ajami i knew we have housingnd housing options in around camp market have housing for other limits housing we have a couple of houses at camp but not for like employee not for employees. hopefully water and power for other uses. >> got it the grace was a great trend to see the decrease and congratulations and wesb ha filled significant gaps and those jobs normally skilled by did the sometimes around the clock so i know hard they

are. to hf and it seems like are you have a a lot of the strategies at play and going to school is areat way of sort of getting people just familiar that the puc has very that it something to think about as an employer when you're a student. i also appreciate the licenses learned and the next steps you're thinking about how you to build on what we k and improve on what we know. i had a question with the tallying my coun collaborative. >> the san francisco health commission internal helped to start that program. that is a program that involves not only the sfpuc but

colleges, our local cum college and trade unions, the 12 band of tribe the chicken ranch so varieshoers in our we have a apprenticeship program preapprenticeship program is highly effective at getting um, vulnerable populations and helping them to get jobs preapprenticeship training in trades trades. and it is really a really great collaborative a really great thinking for community. when they graduate into the prearenty to do like preconstruct iwork.

they can't qualify for hetch hetchy powerio only need more time under in their belt an some of the construction contractorsut that's what the collaborative is a great thing. >> sounds like great. thank you. >> before concluding i want follow-up i was working full time i went to the 2025 or whatever the hell they have had community college people go collaborative and entire group and over wasappy to be in the bay city and say here's what going on and reporting on the hours so that is reallys a hands-on collaborative for the water so s

so thank you. i think ever important i said at the beginning looking forwardth targeted responses if a the particular needs i here important for the commission to hearf town fancyf so thank you very much on item number 5 to the open up for public comment. >> madam secretary or mr. secretary. >> callers raise your hand anyone wish on this item. >> seeing none,odr any callers with their hands raised? >> madam secretary one caller wishes recognized. >> thank you. >> go ahead speaker please. calr have to minutes.

this is a huge problem especially given the fact if you're looting in two years everythg community-based organizations as planned you'll be looking at the for a little bit target people arevery year more and more concerned before a revolt like in the 80s those reports will cck in september and knows what happened in 2023/24 i encourageo use this is a an opportunity to in costs my suggestion by removing using realistic demands projections won't have in ultimate water supplies expensive dr. thela staff is looking at added 92 to one hundred billion gallons a day

moving forward not removed so items a d e and through k so questions or pullany of the stems commissioner stacy. >> thank you just is a couple of brief thoughts on 6 d and e-1 the questions on 6 d why the construction delay number was so many checked in with many robinson who question not necessarily the to it share the details ho they - um, choose their ks fair amount and

construction has done a fair amount of work with the sfpuc before maybe knows how 80 how to anticipate what the deys might happen i want to make sure i understand in the del are caused by the sfpuc that really is their limit up to a certain that right. >> a great t in this case yes, it is somewhat low has been put forward as the dollar per or a 10 day it is low but guess competitive process and the contrac that and awarded based on that the process forks they choose to accept we don't getlv

>> is there a limit on the number ofays with the delay number. >> the language there so the city gets the contractor gets compensated the lower the contractor is proposing they fee comfortable and each contract scope and scheduled duration is different in this case clearly on the staff report we hold back the number of days used for the ua told in this case was 10 days ton multiple by a 6 e. d planning study i wondered g what has sort of the puc in seeking more information about skyline and planning and i

think you answeredha question but there is some hope th ground level system increased reliably subsequent and simplify the maintenan a and make the groundwater system work better as unit i want to make sure i understand that is the s of lac for more ideas and a more di from the citizens advisory committee. >> yes. that's correct ds to s ith the system so doing rkig modification and the water quality i forgot that one thank you, that was helpful. >> thank you. >> commissioner ajami. >> i have actually a follow-up for you on 6 b um. if will

performance base conversation people are not delivering on mee responsible; right? >> so, anyway wanted to bring this up again. i know i have heard this ms by re and more and a number of contracts talk about delay but come pebble delays but the flip side with whether a contractor challenges and created that advantages or other contract agriculture things and exercising that right. >> (multiple voices.) different you have a specific perfo which a lot of cities use rights the

performance based contract and has a very sci tart if we get into the whole let's say them say us and we share assets and auneople make money and i'm more on the engineering but like to have clear specific goals to achieve before getting into the whole mess of legal system and that's whe performance combo play a lot of people will end of delaying keep on extending their contracts withhe level and finish some you find and it is not useful for the city . thank you. >> you're nodding and acknowledge that thank you, commissioners any more questions regarding the consent agenda let's go to public comment on is

why is kaiser permanente wanting to give us those impacts the're land in the future; right? how hard it is to negotiate those things? is this something we hain mind for the future and all that. great question. oven is smaller the property the harder to acquire a government agency um, c compel a pertaining to sell a property; right? under what is called under the government code has to be for the greater of the public good and have to be able to proof this in court. the purpose of that to then compel us to negotiate as much as possible reach a reasonable settlement

and in this case kaiser permanente was willing to work but us, we do an appraisal an independent third party appraisal review of the property ri they're not very common appraisals and then make an offer based on the fair market valuet in the appraisal report as part of the the government codes we have to is he over property owner up to 5 for the own appraisal in this case kaiser foundation hospitals obtained their will appraisal and f period of negotiation we go back and r ge negotiation until you, you can come of this term. in this case of the easements t interesting because easements require ongoing obligations would property owner and on the easement up holder so in the case likes you negotiate

the terms of easement how often will be assessing and how much ou putting in the ground and future development snoo big deal but not in can be developed for vertical development but are cases which will be for the coming this yr that impacts the vertical development those negotiations are difficult do. >> thank you very much for th >> thank you. >> any other questions on this transition okay. thank you very much let's open orubc comment please i don't need to. >> remote cal please raise your hand for number 8 any members of the public wish to have comment a moderate rain water any callerst

resulting in overcrowded and as you can see is from the examples wee fabricating this mask war for theable - nothin sufficient to maintain the large vehicles we have overcrowded offices tcu designed in a marketplace resulting unsafe pedestrian and cross traffic at the campus we're going to solve all those problem sore going to 200 marin and company with the puc to the west of chavez and on the yards on the other see as look bounds by

chavez and west 200 marin dead d way to the east here's what we're building allhe new buildings are the same as the existing uses of the current facilities computing an office building shops, a swhair and a parking structure as you can're going to use all those spaces available on t site. um, so some of the key design objectives were community building subsequent with the sprawl people go to the combhas work spaces and isolation no collaboration or inner action down tow yd it is important to design a campus with spine with the workforce

>> the ferry building one of san francisco most famous that as many of 15 thousand commuters pass through that each gay. >> one of the things that has to keep in mind regarding san francisco is how young the really happening here before the gold rush. there was a small

spanish in the presiding and we couriers and fisherman that will come in to rest and repair their ships but at any given time three hundred people in san francisco. a then the gold rush happened. by 182948 vi here to start a new li >> by 1850 roughlysand ships in the bay and left tow in search of gold leaving their ships behind so they scraped and had theps in the bay and corinne woods. with the way that san francisco was and when you look at a san francisco have a unique street

grid and one of the thing is those streets s off in extremely long piers. but by 1875 they know they more so the ferry building was built and it was a long affair first cars turned around at the ferry building and picking up people and g and then last night the street light cars the trams came to that area also. but by the 1880s we needed something better than the ferry building. a bond issue wased fod new ferry building i would say 0 for a studio apartment in san francisco they thought tt was a grand ferry

building had a competition hire an architecture and choose a young aspiring architect and in the long paris and san francisco hadrand plans for this transit station. so he proposed the beautiful new building i wanted it deere non. than that actually is but the price of concrete quitclaim two how not completed and killed. but it opened greater claim and became fully operational before 1898 and fi carriages and horses for the primary mode ofsporation but was built up for serve tram lines and streetcars could go u

hospitals andt uis to nob hill and the fisherman's area. andhe earthquake hit in 190 six the ferryng clap thing had to be corrected once the facade of the tower. and 80 the streets and the trams were running and buildings had to highland during the fireter the mask in e city so think of a dennis herrera devastation of a cable car they were a mess the streets really,

wanted to have popular sense they were on top of that but af of rigged a way gin streetcar to run not o cable track ran electrical wires to get the stet to run and 2 was pretty controversial tram system wanted electrical but the earthquake gave them to cars going to get on top this. >> take 10 years for the city to rebuild. ferry use was increasing for a international exhibition in 1950 and people didn't realize how much of a communityr th ferry building was. it was the

for celebration. the upper level of ferry buildingas a gathering place. also whenever thereas war like the filipino war or world war had a parade on market street and the ferryuiveanners and to idea how central to the citywide that is what page wanted to to be a gathering place in that ferry building hay day the busiest translation place in the world how people around transit and the city is dependent on that in important year that was the year of our international exposition 18 million living in san francisco and that was

supposedly to celebrate the open of panama differential but back in business after the e and 22 different ferry boatso alamed and one had the and 80 trips a day of life and in 1918 f w hit hard by the flu pandemic and city had mask mandates and anyoneaugh without a doubt a mask had a risk ever beingd by the em■ er places and rules about masks wearin and what we're supposed to be more than two people without our masks on i read was that on the ferry those guys wanted to smoke their pipes and taking off their masks and getting from trouble

>> the way the ferry building was originally built lower stage. the second floor was wa wheres oloaded and all those people would spill out and central stairway of the building tat is interesting point to talk about because a large building one major and t over 40 tan one of the cost measures was not in a with the ferry building and embarcadero on market street was actually added in and in

but within 20 years to have san franci b later shipbuilding port in the world an pacific we need the iron that. as the ferry system was a san francisco. and automobiles were a popular item that people wanted to dv themselves around instead of the ferry result marin and other roots varnished. the dramatic draw in usae was staggering who was using the ferry that was a novelty rather than a transportation but the ferry line stopped one by one because everyone wasetting cars and wanted to drive and cars were big deal. take the care ferry

and to san francisco and spend the day or for saturday drive but really, really changed having the car ferry. >> when the bay bridge was built had a train that went along the lower level so that was a major stay and end up where our sales force transit center is now another getting into the city little by li t ferry stopped having what happened in the 40 and 50's because of this downturn we we trying to find a purpose a o own the philly in a ed idea objective never gotten down

including one that had too tall rs a trade center in new york but a tower in between that was at ferry building and completelyimpractical. after the car the tower administration wanted to keep americans deployed and have the infrastructure for the united states. so they had an intrastate free plan the plan for major freeway systems to throughout san francisco. and so the developers the bay bridge and workedheiray re to be very, very efficient for that through town he once the san francisco saw human

services agency happening 200 though people figure ou city hall offender that the embarcadero free was dropped and we had the great free to where. which cut us off from the ferry building and store line and created in 1989 a gave us the opportunity to tear down the and that was the renaissance of ferry building. >> that land was developed for a new ferry building and whom ne embarcadero how to handle travel and needed a concept for the building didn't want- that was when a plan was developed for the liquor store.

>> the san francisco fer ha m downs and had a hay day dribbled adopt to almost nothing and after the earthquake had a shove of adrenaline to revise the waterfront and it moved aroundhe and plans for more so think investment in the future that by making a reliable ferry system on ferry building will be there to

surface. >> ■k
