n re ask and delegation metric. can i make sure you can see >> great. i'm going to go over and highlight the anges in prior material but first, i want to give background for this resolution. commission approved delegation metric in been operating under for the last in 2012, the commission approved real updated in 2013 and 15 and we have been operating under the ye tidentifies the relative authority. as the organization of 4 leveloffs authority recollect the nsent calendar, the

commission regular calendarnew section identifying the board of supervis our 6 area i'm going through each of these with the first section we'll talk about is emergency declarations. inall oved by the gm. and the commission receives notice.ge in this. advertisement went to the consent calendar. when the matrix was passed commission approval of design that section was amended by the board supervisors in 2015 and gave department heads rity to advertisements of design build changes to simply align with the emergency declarations, again, this aligns with the under chapter 6, r21. prevthe consent calendar, now in alignmen thousand for tion and under hundred thousand for general service are under and larger ones which require board of

supervisor from consent to regular under the theory if we are tak board of supervisors, we should present it to the lendar. next slide. group of contracts we ones on the go over contracts for construction lated related and highlight m the this section contains some substantive changes i in awarding construction auchck. it remains at the th currently 1 million dollars. the ch appears for approval on the ndar, versus on the regular calendar. in matrix, everything above to calendar, here we propose contractmillion go on consent and every above 25 go all those contracts will come to the commission r approval, it is size of constructi particular we feel the additional time to focus contracts

for modifying or amending there as i thre this makes clear that auexists for awarding that same authority-you ca that authority, so the gm could do 2íis for 20 it goes and it has to go.a sole source designation to be co is how it exists now because it isn't quarterly report about what the gm is doing with contracts that report.a change in how we close-outs. under the admin code, the authority is granted to we moved from there is follows the above rules. in other words, if wag to have make it 11 million million to close it out, that bumps into the next level next page. contracts ted.s, there are no significant changes. there is on liof the

there wasn't to amend and this caps same just for consistency.change is that, the tiers are based on dollars, time to a contract, but not money,b it the authority that is existing and whppy to go over the questions. this sectionwith service contracts. cts not construction related, that is some of the es we were-all do finance, related to tion related comes under this there are no significant chin the thresholds are here, are changes about the amendments to sort line up ard of just having it be or more, it more aligns with the charthreshold and sort of those amounts, so we backed the threshold not changing. now to new are brand new to the power

purchases. going to the-yeah. for power purchases and sales, we included the by the board of this delegate authority to the agency to enter into large scale conta cumulative $200 million annually authority for purchases and am to authority for sales and amendments to sales. that is the reand then the board. the regular calendain, because that goes to are aligning with section grants is also intearly new. simply lining up with code h adopted admin code 21g the matrix passed so and the admin code has rules accepting grants and thatis those are ju'@ 'y as to awardingthere out in the code, so we have what we think is ogram would come to the commission on the regular once the commission approves a grant million under this would authorized for awa 1 to $10 million on and above

$10 million on regular calendar and going to the board.so amendment authority up 25 percent within each one.is is not a specific-particular aligning with. this is the mou.on we divided into mou, which are essentially agreements with city departments, agencies and other government enas to thecity departments, done orders or mou. that is how it happens now, ole. the administrative and operation agreements are the type of things a takes carof. here, we are to with other city agencies unless it of land. if someone is going to use our land or ir land, that type of thing that would be it would come to you on non city government agencies, the 10 millions or 10 year approval by the gm regular calendar. exception to the rule,mo involves the puc requiring new

assets or taking on of impose long-term operation, nance or construction cost, those go commission on regular calendar, unless that new already commission on separate action.a new service and the mou was implementing that, the the new service would be mou vx?would be gm action.(l next page. now futhe final section has a number of items that were not on trex. they are now all . of the section involve third party use sfpuc property. for at the fair market value, this s the gm. it had been up to 9 years anand million dollars. the old d $300 thousand. leases between 300 thousand and a that would have been on consent now at the gm level.ere are no other changes for

that. for less then fair there are no changes has been on consent and those have been that whole-there are small things on the poles, but goes to regular. as the community communit center, january 23 of 23, the commission approved a small authorize the gm to station license under specified circumstances.s is the commission sets those rates and then can enter into those contracts with those the work stations. and the next ro sfpuc uses d party property. here, again it gives for tyupes up to $5 million. cr. to $300 thousand there are no so, the next grou-nearing the end, but next group are very specific. the cottage commission sets and .us ty san francisco it with our prth that is it woul on consent under the guidelines, so that aligns on enthe mou's.

for the lines jurisdictionquisition of property and , theris no change. that moves from the guidelines in here which is all gular calendar d. the is new in entirety. this isagency vote on ballot measure effecting cfland owner, we receive ballots regarding creation strict or special assessment. 4o on a piece of property outside san franc happens very rain nature but wanted to the ballot comes in we usually don't have time to commission, having it on this insure gets on the delegation authority about the delegatedes report actions taken.be moved between consent there will be linked the the threshold amounts and to the power anpurchase so th

major changes. i know you will have about details so i want to spend my answer questions about particular changes or particular rational. the robust nrfshz. uestions. i think we have commissioner ajami. presentation. much of them are related to me or money. >> okay. so, i was wondering what was the from 2 million extended timeline. >> the >> yes. >> okay. >> okay. thank you. the primary reason here was it was $10 millago we entered the ma these dthey hundred million, 200 million, we don't a lot of contracts million. that is just the threshold

under a million, are vast majority of stuff and on are the larger ones so propose to increase but it wasn'tat a particular-it waand so that l. as to the time, 10 years a magic number. it doesn't apply contracts because construction contracts don't go to the something that yúis the type of thing the board usuallthing we want coming to the commission so that is where got 10 >> le.8thya case that going to the board. by the gm. but never sees the co basically the gm approves contract or ends up in this is the case here. goes into consent calendar between million and longer then 9 years and the items >> correct. no construction contract ends up at >> exactly. read the consent calendar, which i'm hopmake sure that every item that is there is

correctly lined up. i'm ój weat way if something is $25 million, longer then 9 ars, front the commission. >> when you say end up, i ure i understand. you mean on the regu to the commission. é >> it tation, has a individual attached to it, versus something that ends up being item that is in the coed and basically as a batch we approve them and let them move the qust ght now we have a lot of project that come and go because we are going through a phase new things. say in 10 years we n't have construction projects, doubtful but let's say, i want to make sure j÷ put in nt of them right tools the right has enough oversight and done in the right way. does ñgthat make sense? is there a question? >> the question s from now, if you are

done the wastewater projects and water projects and all you think changing $25 million and number of years in a way s end up in fruchbt front of the commisis necessary or you think it isn't necessary? >> i don't thin is why saying why we made the change.you why i don't think it is necessary. i do now, $25 million construction is a lot of money. we a lot of a even when we are doing projects replacement of pipe, large portions and those will come and those ar godog to be there.it provides the discussion e larger ones, also this agency, means itconson't read and pay attention and ask questions. it just allows we sc the larger ones, but that is just a policy it is still a number that i thin9"s when we there will be new oplewhat does$25 million construction contract, it ent.into it, they can pull it to dar.was our thinking.were various proposals all over the place and that is what w another hypothetical question, you're a lawyer, sure evis

done under law, let' hopefully you do keeping an eye on this organization. in front of you as an it in consent or should we have it in regular calendar, what do you y> is it tighter policy this issue versus and and go faster? >> right. i dostion and for that.t this as a lawyer. i can tell you there lawyers involved. contract admin group was involved. obviously involved, the city attorney was involved, i was involved time. i don't think the goal is to commission meeting just like that. i think the )tis to have staff presentations on significant matters that should having we know are the public want to know about and there are going public discussion about and not 10sure that a $1nstruction project is that thin if this commission thinks it is, that's what we are doin think the it was reason to think about what we want to do. the meeting, but spend the time to the

commission, you should be prepared to that and that's-there ation. lot of employees, this a to make sure we are and our staff time wisely and why we people come to this meeting and ou see it every time at consent calendar a lot of people get up and leave. here prepared to answer questions on we are not expecting questions and th won't happen. >> i don't doubt that and i do pay attention people come and go and questions, but for it isthinking commission you have now or the staff you have what kind of organizational process nto make sure this specific organization is or you are standing here dennis is here or of the point of the commission, to make sure regahave in place, there are enough checks and balances for all of us ccessful then our kids or families will have aue utility that lens i look through everything ani ask that question, because of we see would keep this organization

healthy and move forward. $2vw5 million, you are absolutely right, we do spend a lot we have aging infrastructure that needs attention, we have a huge also at the same time, it is a lot of people and for less ble for different reasons. i'm just make sure every decision we make here, ends up all of us to be more successful rather then ju sure what the criteria is it ro is it long-term, short-term? that is the just of all the questions i jg want to ask, which is on that. as a individual, if am n tting here, while i havery lidovoted to make sure the time is spent to mahave a healthy organization. that is my personal goal. >> i this particular line a million is gm approved, bó you draw the on consent versus the regular calendar is are talkiand that is something that is movable. we suggested $25 million based on looking 15 year old matrix, lookinout

now, how many-we were looking at it is bit arbitrary. all the numbers how we it. but everything above a million this calendar. everything will be on the calendar are approving it, where you want onthe scale of regular or consent. >> which ck the same question--actually, i will jump because we are talking about to power later. for example, we have these, like for example, as a puc we n he 10 million th >> i think out!, -this tw zfair valu at go to if revenue is less en le rightthat's right. >> i dowith at numbers have come about. b4 if you that line, the next item

you have sfthird party property threshold is $5 million. the realescould be contracts we have above, but in the realization we have a group, real estate operates erent in the city. you notice there blah blah on these, because ty we deal with real estate differently. it really leftth the market and the ent, so there is very prescrib things that and construction contracts, indemty, insurance, ss that in real estate contracts becaus the real estate group worked on this a long time to coup of the ones they think are the ones that are sort of smaller ones that they negotiate with the lo they want to work out and are those numbers ardely different thef we nd and that these anymore that entering into. so, as for use of is a threshold that isin the charter, so we work other, the threshold we are spending ismuch higher, so it t the idea, it

the smaller le we don't typically and may indon't necessarily lease lee we lease a warehouse for years. those types of this was l estate team to ñ practical thinnt to what are big, what is the so highlighted threshold changes in the they moved to a million. 300 thinstance.are correct. bureal estate broker-the people out there the contracts. what makes sense >> can you give me a logic why some of these that to be have a end the general manager? >> hap can you give a example? from > yes. th come to

commission, i'm nothat ended up-- >> those ended up on e matrix, that acquisition of the interest and conveyanso buying and selling of property at this no gm authority, it is listed as der certain dollar thresholds it all those go on >> items. >> ther is just pulling out in the guideline that wasn't in this and putting right there. now i want to go back to the power.about power first and then- >> there are categories on power. ring into and amending of each. >> i about power purchase and the po i do recognize that-- >> power power sales. >> those two i wanted to talk to you the power purc we have had the less then 25 be a little of a long sort of timeline for that to be

approved by the general mana for example, if you r, you have 25 years ahead of the decisions are some >> absolutely. >> can you tell me hos have come about? >> soas you know, and barbara is here ifspecific s, as you know a major expenditure we have in power is of power. that t in and negotiate thcontracts, there are lots needed both to be able to and act with exceptions to ru so, what we did is came to this commission wh those the thresholds would be, what that would like, and those have changed over the years. and we went to the auboard and they dele manager which is what those orwúdinances were to enter into a number contracts up to an annual threshold and so the that delegated authority for an ordinan board of supervisors gave th authority to the puc.

this is taking that which is ordinance that isn't therso it is laid out who is doing what.fit exceeds the annual threshold if longer have $200 million regular calendar and board. these four boxesfothe numbers are big, numbers, this is an area where that was delegated--it was redelegated by the commission but delegated by the board to to certain amounts.e four boxes, there this is translating what is to the matrix. >> i think this mmission before it went to a uch volatility in the market. we remember that. >> i [indiscernible] >> [indiscernible] >> so, i speaking to assistant general and she reminded there are t have brought contracts, which are unde amount, which and brought for is a have to use

up we don't want to use delegated authority on a contract because it is is is act >> that was mything and this came up in the power purchase and also in the item you and ballot measures sfpuc. >> okay. >> the same is, time matters, yes. if ther to move forward today two weeks from and we have summer off and things need we cant wait a month, but there are cases we might be able to pucalendar right away, and i wonder if there needs to form of a amendment or statement there that says, if there is no opportunity attend to this right away, then general manager can make that dec otherwise, p starts and tomorrow we have a meeting, b >> on the pow r one, it is what it is on the agency vote, we it on there just because we are scouring think what this is. this is owner, do you-are you going a new

your property? what will end up being vote yes or no isn't determined. whether we votebe able to. but, it also is a $10 aski million special assessment, this is a t type question that comes and they usually come pretty quick by the time they get to us they ver come to the go somewhere else and forwarded here and there is a long y. get things on calerder here.zv for action item or approval item, so it putting it on so it is there.don't know it would-i think there is two of these in th![ i don't know it have time. there transparency thing is g-it is the opposite of the big dollar thing, it is assessment, our special use district property owners and as know, we own property in many counties. >> to be honest, a lo are gointo transparency. we really want to make all that is i also had a the amend power sales. of these

items, i is the board dedeciding th both on the power sales? >> the charter gives the board contracts above $10 million where we buying or $2 mi we for us to get this, we had to ask for delegation , and that in written the amounts who went to, would last, what kind of reporting we have to do to themare in is one reason the reporting, the quarterly reporting it p>that reporting e-we do that reporting. ever ything we send to "4the board it is just--we ask for that the short answer, we ask for those amounts in that ard- >> we gier then they approve that number. through the legislative specific time and we haveover the years gone and increases to that when things happened and when we before the market went crazy and powers l for us. there is two important parts of this.

we are talking about, which is there is the to enter into these contracts without specific city rules the piece preventing us participating in a lot kinds of things so we had to contracts so that is where that came from. >> okay.eciate you i you know, on the criteria i said me personaly, transparency and making sure we ha organization that survives and thrives different administrations, different commissions, leadershipof like those thresholds do make because them away attention they need, and lecare regardle ofamount they million dollar scussed, ox because context matter. a major treatment plant, the small ect might you know cost a lot should st them.the $28 million toilet that last ye isors. just saying, context very much matters. t, what project we are investing in very much s are very much related to that

project, these projects do the $25 million shthreve enou oversight or discussion to make properly and in the right way. >> i would say in response to that, i'm this threshold we are talking about is the thshold betwconsent and regular, so-- >> >> i hear you saying that there is a question whether it gets the attention, my experience is commissioners do readget questions this meeting we heard on consent calendar there was telling the public, here is the answer to these questions, ability to answer questions. >> yeah, and that's fine. people have fferent ways of approaching things. personally for me, i like to like to hear those questions answereis follow up i like to different strategies approaching things. i do ask tons of the consent calendar but this isn't on, this is about long-term as people come how things are going to work and you would-i have been in a

not every commission and board is formatted the same. they are not , so we need to make sure don't go unattentioned. >> right. doing the right thing, it is more like, if we change this, going to impact the financial ni health or accoun e next commission, for r all that. for now, i will let cey. >> thank you and i want of all , i appreciate the organization and the readability of this matrix. it makes so much to me then the other matrix and breaking it out tail with the citations to d char pass the thanks to those who did it. >> understand and read. i wanted to follow up and ma understood and some information that you gave in response to on the construction contra >> yes. >> it is your point page 6. is the threshold amount code section 6.3 current ly $1 million, is is that what you said? threshold amount is $1 million.

>> okay.right. and then, when was reviewing the matrix, rned an tween-this is just within acity mou, i was concerned about exchanges of money and i was the ocean beach project. was a mou within the ci maybe ithave mou's related to construction projects, related to operations of our facilities, related topaid on mou for our utilities l--we have all other cityare not contracts, between departments that can happen through a mou or work order. k that sort of allevithe mou are often a good faith attempt at a procedure or a way what i was concerned bet is when there is a but i think we in the i remember seeing work orto department, so we the commission would see that the

>> yes. there is exchanged between departments. those through the process and they line itemsbe clear that the mou's can has been appropriated, but a mou does not appropriate money, so that still ha.other side is, because there wethey are not set roles in the x4city about mou's, they some come to this commission, like we enteabout others are entered in. this is the first formalized prauz. pro gather mou's so we can say this is part every mou that will be entered to end up lists and of be there digging for st fl year and find them listed so working hard at mang that in a central public way, so, grant to the general manager authority that was not on the matrix before. t enter into of requires that the general

manager come to this what those things are. both those sideó[s were missing lent and -it was just done in fferent ways. o.kay and then, i was looking at some of real estate provisions that were not re, but when i reviewed the record, i think ther 2015 policy adopted by the commission that real estate you are absolutely correct. as hard matrix the cottage rul they were scattered all over so going is the ap pulling out and put in here.tried to highlight, i did highlight for you when of the guidelines the amounts would change and th talked about. i highlighted those r ththresholds but where i was pulling it over jurisdictional transfer stuff, that is when i said there is no change.our matrix, but not a change where it sits on the calendar or something like that. and then, i think that is a portant

the commission not only to have lot of these issues, but allowing the public to see how the business is conducted, having a d i think that can happen both on consent calendar so finally, in connection think it is really important that we pay attention quarterttúto the commission and i think both the commission continue to be aware of what's manager level that might not be coming to the look at those reports carefully ould come to the commission or the policy needs to be we can certainly trix if something isn't working. >> nobut saying that box i want different. >> yeah. the report give comfort and the something being calendar to me doesn't mean we d the same public review. 3ureallya matter of paying attention to everything before us. so, i am and the public accountability

and the oversight of commission will continue. i have one mo question and understood the very last item in the matrix.vote on ballot measure effect when you were discussing it today mr. ballot measures that may arise in other puc has property >> land owner and there is is a special use district or anything that talks about value, we will get a ballot.t often. city ordinances or city rules or those things, but as a land owner, if santa clara is going create a historic district and go-our property is in that, we yes/no vote if tied to assessment to those ballots come in, they go to and city administration and come over here and people wonder who gets the vote on thr up the things, that's why we n't get reported anywhere, it is that is

out iscernible] that's why it is on there. it has happene i think that's it for me. >> alrighty. >> i have questions i can go after ed to thank you and your team for putting this together.a avy lift in terms of all that went into also, thank for updating a needed be a it hasn't been done real trying to-my feeling about that it is making the of updating and addressing the board of superv is incorporated, especially the area about the mou's. communication is critical and having i think that's like commissioner ajami for the some safety measures in here if i th of the also the ability to consult with e president to address anytto either add to the consent calendar or to

thank everyone on your team for a lot i really appreciate it.ahead commissioner ajami. by the way, when we worked on voting the general manager? >> the general manager. the ballot? . i'm still very hung on e i'm not sure where the number is and e year should be, but i would like to see if there is way we can ch the item, but fithat number ng is that or no? this e and 10 years. o'to ?owh was moved that that the 10 ere wano we pulled in because there-it gives the it to 1, 15 e0years ago up to 1 and above. what we proposed is moving up to 1, 1 to 25, that's the real move.of new, talking about. >> if might, mr. flynn, for

my perspective i a problem if this were apprrevisit what is on the number and e if that number works or and we see is put together based on our best where we have been, but from 9z perspective, we are happy to see what rience is and come back and see if >> could i be clear what we are talking ab are calendar versus regular? >> yes. >> >> if we change the numb years it today or no? that is my question. but >> if you like to s as between consent and regular, that is sod it isn't a significant change to cause between

those two items, dictated by law, it is a policy decision. and i know i appreciate you saying this, because zi think you ersation last year or year before how things end consent versus we year. i don't mind y on $25 5 million and less then >> [indiscernible] >> i think--i will leave it to chair.ink th how they go doing that. make a motion approve the matrix policy with that >> okay. is that okay with you? is that something if we with that or-i n isn't present. i dont know if that has any it you have quorum. open up to public comment before we did that. are there any comments regardingitem 7?

ought r direction that you didn't want to change the years but did want to you are saying, leave the money amounts ou want to shorten the time period? c >> basically, in my engineer di 10 like, that means 2 and $2 and a half million so, if i change the i we can do either. keep the yearb money threshold. the time threshold. either way up with more -you that sort of but needs to be spent over shorter that's what i'm trying to achieve therefore, $25 million need 5 years, if it needs within 6 yethey to be on regu >> if i understand the math you shortened it to 5 years, then we are about $5 million a year. rough calculation, i get that. increase the amount that the general be

>> not necessarily-this is to be certain number, or the number of years nd certain number of years. r, >> i hear you. maybe i'm goingthe number years. are trying to get mentspend ess each year-- >> that's not the case. bo i'm trying trying to figure out--if you are a pipeline today, which is like is going to cost $25 milland 10 years, and project comes around that will put a quarcost $25 million and 10 need to see how these things line up $25 million--just try ghten in a way if a project is we will have a presenting it to us and having discussion

>> okay. i don't way, because i think both the consent calendar and and we can comment on it or pull it of appropriate. pull itif l--discussion, one doesn't as much a presentation, one dozent get a presentation. so it is ttle bit more-there is more transparency in the process if presented to you and you have discussion and you about the project. >> deputy flynn, >> maybe i can make a proposal here sort think is going on here.ved it to the less $20 million, so anything more ghtens those two numbers together there. it still gives ve 10 which we have 15 years ago, in 2009, there is no construction contract like that now,îbut it is ere in between there. if you wanted to amend it construction contract and consent and regular moving it to 25 both those boxes. i don't know whether that is a change be made. councilor.

>> that can done proposed amendment during eting. ussion the pipelines? >> from my understandithat commissioner ajami is making is it construction under chapter 6. under consent it is greater less then $20 years. consent has to meet both >> yes. i'm still thinking but we can have public comment and maybe then land on a number. >> okay. director, can you open this up purblic callers, please raise your hand if you like to comment on any members present who wish to comment on moderator, if their hand up. >> ms. lennear, there are two callers who wish to be recognized. >> caller, yo >> hello, this what happens if was earlier time
