with that, i'd like to visit to the budget particulars if i may come out of the workshop >> please. that will return to the one marked hetch hetchy power turning to the section with the title page for power enterprise. and our total budget slide on the screen here. it's slide number 8 once in that first packet. and here's where you see our total budget. adapted for 2013 and 14. it is flat the only cost increase that you see represented here that brings us to the one hundred and 579 million is an increase in our contribution and dictionary costs vs. the power of 21 million. there are some additional costs associated with salaries and fringe but the only the big-ticket stem is the change and anticipated cost for transmission >> and the subsection issue. >> correct. then we have a couple of slides that shows our source of fund. first sources you can see the primary source is the revenue from the sale of electricity and other sources listed there and our uses with our operating costs and our purchase of power being some of our larger items there. >> and how does you show 2014 and 15 the

we've have our only website sf workshop organizing and we do monthly workshops that was touched on. the community presentations to merchant and merchant groups. i had the pleasure of presenting to fillmore. media outreach and social media 311, city department and other materials. i want to speak quickly to city reach. we've had a great collaboration with a lot of city departments that have agreed to help us get our information out whether e-mail or facebook or twitter. they have really a lot of departments like the office of labor standards, the kroerlz office have helped us to get information to businesses in a timely fashion. one of the things you'll notice about this plan it's heavily front load. we want to reach businesses ahead of the business registration dropping. our primary stakeholders are the mayor's office and this board of supervisors, the city agencies and small businesses the chamber of commerce, trade and advocate association and economic organization and neighborhood merchant groups and multiple community based organizations. i want to emphasize something when we re

the items are concluding a special workshop where a number of our challenges are before us. and then we'll talk about presenting the large binder the highlighting you all have in our packet. you've been reviewing those. both a g richie will walk through the proposals as well over the next two years. i will close the session with going over the next 10 year impact and the capital plan and financial plan a and what that means for rate. i'll see over the course of the next two hours everything to do with hetch hetchy water and power and the 2 year budget and the challenges over the next 10 years. on the 28 we'll do the wastewater and even though rest of the infrastructure we'll be collecting all our questions and the follow-up work you want us to do and present those on february 11th. the budget in a big picture is about $873 million today and you'll see the portion that we're looking at today is called hetch hetchy water and power and that altogether is $185 million of that total nearly $8,900 current budget pr the majority of the operations of hetch hetchy a big picture for t

some of those with related with the budget and workshop. i'm not ready for the mountain tunnel cost. so i think we need to think about that and hear more about alternative. some of the reductions i'm fine with but those are costs for the new mountain tunnel are huge. the intersection agreement costs makes we think about our lack of transmission line from newark to san francisco. it would be nice to know from staff like what the back of the envelope would be to complete that line that was never completed in nourishing to the city and the trade offices if we were to bond finance that versus pay the additional cost for pg&e for transition of power from newark to the city. the cost of service as it relates to general funds and enterprise departments and actually all our customers. it's not just the single rate it is where it's delivered so from turlock to modesto it costs us less to get it that far then to power the city. i don't know how you get those costs. the rates certainly need to move closer to cost of service faster more than the half k

during this workshop portion i wanted to provide some context for the budget conversation.eview our bottom line budget and describe the current and expected operating environment and the financial circumstances that the general manager just alluded to. identify the areas of focus and again, just really provide some overall context for the how we're proposing to fund our operation and a capital needs >> first, i think it's good to review our priorities. those should look familiar to you. we're - >> barbara if i might. >> yes. >> have we seen this. >> this is the handout that the secretary handed you this morning. >> so i have it in here somewhere. thank you >> and i'm on page 3 of the presentation. >> thank you. >> so we're continuing to provide our one hundred percent green house gas free to our public and continuing with the street lights and distribution. we're planning to transition with our key partners and that's with our agreement with pg&e and our long-term power agreement with turlock irrigation district and our agreement. we're continuing to support our local effic

we offer classes and workshops in digital camera, digital printing. we offer classes basically in the shooting, ton the town at night, treasure island. there is a way for the programs exploring everyone who would like to spend the day on this program. >> hello, my name is jennifer. >> my name is simone. we are going on a field trip to take pictures up the hill. >> c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. >> actually, i have been here a lot. i have never looked closely enough to see everything. now, i get to take pictures. >> we want to try to get them to be more creative with it. we let them to be free with them but at the same time, we give them a little bit of direction. >> you can focus in here. >> that was cool. >> if you see that? >> behind the city, behind the houses, behind those hills. the see any more hills? >> these kids are wonderful. they get to explore, they get to see different things. >> we let them explore a little bit. they get their best. if their parents ever ask, we can learn -- they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of th

power enterprise and some recommendations and i think it would be probably best to maybe have a workshop to kind of address all of your issues in all the challenges that we are facing to make sure that we are all in alignment to make sure what direction to go as enterprise. >> that would be great even to have this bond question to see how this fits together . thank you. >> commissioner moran? >> thank you, todd. the slide on the rating challenges, we are an unusual credit in some regards one of which our revenues in large part come from rates that we charge to city departments and that's not totally in our control, it's also something the board gets to weigh in on. in dealing with that i guess the statement would be if we need to take action at the commission or proposed ordinance at the board that the deals with the risk issue from the bond holders standpoint and can maybe work in conjunction with covenants that deal specifically with those issues, i would expect that you will bring those to us to act on. i think you have to expect that rating agencies in doing their job are pretty cold

we do have our board workshop on february 4th. we are going to layout some of kind of what the budget looks like in the next couple years preliminarily. but also talk about where -- kind of where we're standing in each of the modes. one of the things that we're planning to bring forward is the walk first, which is -- which comes out of the mayor's pedestrian safety task force and it's a project that we've been doing with the controller's office, public health, and other city partners including the transportation authority to use data to define very specifically and strategically a capital improvement program that we will be ultimately in april recommending for your adoption along with what the other city agencies will bring into the city's capital budget. i think you'll see when we bring that on february 4th it's really a model of capital planning in terms of really using data and evidence-based practiceses to bring very strategic recommendations to achieve a very specific goal. we also have received a federal grant to support edu

you know, my workshop was hit or miss. there a couple of people in the workshop that got it right off the bat, you know, they immediately understood what i was attempting to do and able to give me good, constructive, you know, feedback to get it there. but some, you know, -- i think the majority of my classmates did not. i can tell from the -- the reason i knew this because the kind of feedback i was getting in workshops were -- , i mean, it was, you know, their reading of my work was completely confusing. you know, i felt like they had the preconceived ideas of about what i think -- they thought i should be writing about. because i wasn't, i think that maybe that complicated their reading of my work and; therefore, sort of, you know, gradualed their response. it was difficult but i was lucky because, i mean, -- i at least had, you know, i want to say three good readers out of my cohorts. that was enough. but then i was also lucky, again, because i was able to -- i got to -- and i did a fell loyship. that was a different e

the day may come when the sheltered workshop can't find a job for him. he would then be eligible for unemployment benefits. senator portman of ohio says no, we should cut off his unemployment benefits to pay for the temporary unemployment benefits of others. i invite senator portman to go to a sheltered workshop in a state and meet these people and i'll bet he changes his mind on that republican pay-for. then comes senator ayotte of new hampshire and she says we have a terrible situation with the child tax credit. the child tax credit is available for wage earners who can claim a credit on the taxes they owe and a refundable credit as well in some circumstances for their children. in other words, if you are low-income in america, we reduce your tax burden based on the number of children you have. the obvious reason? to give you $1,000 more a year for your child, $20 a week for your child. that, to me, is not an unreasonable thing to do. it a alleviates poverty for literally millions of americans. senator ayotte says for those who are filing a so-called i

this has been an interesting budget workshop for me. it's highlighted the utilities folks don't want to mention. we know how vitality those are to the delivery of water mountain tunnel and members of congress son and others. as i look at it and hear with you said. some of the costs for those projects are large. and they're not all known yet so you still have some questions in those later years what's it going to cost us. as commissioner vietor said those projects were not concluded in the we're accept. and funding is not secured. well, you adapt our two year budget you don't have the fund for the c i p going out 10 years so water and power rates have not been raised to cover the projected costs. we are looking at the c i p proposal so we're going to continue our review we'll have more questions as we continue that. and how those questions are resolved some of the funding and who paid. might not effect the sub total of the overall cost of the total and how it impacts the rates for us. so i intend to work with our staff and have been talk
