stanford supports the sfpuc position. the state water resources control board's proposal to change and stream flow conditions for the tuolumne river would result insignificantly reduced surface water available for diversions and beneficial uses in the bay area. under drought conditions, stanford and other wholesale customers would be forced to rely on surface water supplies and groundwater, which would have other effects. stanford requests that the environmental and economic impacts of any shortage in the sfpuc water system be fully analyzed and recognized and that a voluntary agreement be pursued, that appropriately balances the various water needs. thank you. >> president kwon: thank you very much. next, mr. bill martin. mr. martin, please. >> thank you. i support the state's plan. the fish need more water. the fisher with talking about are salmon. let's talk a moment -- there's been a lot of talk about habitat, habitat restoration. ill recently returned from alaska. i saw a lot of salmon. i saw a lot of salmon habitat.

we also report to the sfpuc debt over sight committee on all transactions. as always, we like to provide you with an overview of each enterprise's debt and credit ratings, so you'll see each enterprise's outstanding debt. you'll notice new items to this table, the low cost s.r.f. loans and whitfield loan that we entered into this last year. first, we issue new money debt and provide new credit needs to meet the ongoing capital requirements of each enterprise. this is guided by the regular monitoring and analysis of when found funds are needed and how much are needed. second we manage our outstanding debt portfolio, particularly renewing or replacing bad debt facilities and authorizing program consolidation when needed. [inaudible] >> however, though, taking advantage of these new refunding opportunities is now limited due to the recent tax bill's repeal of advanced refundings. and so finally, on this slide, you'll see a listing of the various debt transactions we plan to enter into into this fiscal year. these transactions are more fully provided in the info

i'm a san francisco resident, customer of the sfpuc. i'm also a member of the sierra club on the water committee for the san francisco bay chapter, and i just want to ramble a little bit unfortunately because i wasn't sure what mr. ritchie was going to say. but in response to the question what are the differences relative to the various environmental organizations' positions and the p.u.c.? one thing i think it's important to take a step back and look at the big picture of this. they're concerned about the entire eco system, and i think that the focus of mr. ritchie's presentation regarding the tuolomne is important, but that's not just what this is all about. this is really about trying to restore the ecosystem back to some function -- back to some ability to actually be an ecosystem, and i think that one of the sort of taking that big picture approach, one of the problems that i have personally as an sfpuc customer and as an environmentalist is that we all share responsibility for this ecosystem, and for the sfpuc to say well, our own

and the sfpuc is not in their wheelhouse as an organization to do that. they're supposed to protect rate payers and make sure everybody gets electricity, and they need to be conservative because of that. what we need now is for lafco to lead the process of drafting a local buildout plan like the one in sydney, australia, that i emailed to you all. thanks. >> thank you very much. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. there is no vote on this for us to vote on. so lets a move on. if my colleagues are in agreement, i would like to call out of order item number 6 please. i realize we have a lot of taxi workers in the audience and they are away from work and i want to minimize the time away from employment. before we start this discussion, lafco actually has no jurisdiction over the taxi industry or m.t.a. we are clearly -- this is clearly a fact fine finding, sort of informational meeting here today. and we welcome all public comment, of course, but we have no authority over the taxi industry. we are able actually to launch an i

include project management services, managing the work of other city agencies, including sfmta and sfpuc, overseeing project consultants, ensuring that the park's design complies with all city requirements that apply to ocii projects and ensuring that it complies with all policies. finally, similar to its role in the folsom street project, public works will manage construction of under ramp park. the total public works fee for services under the m.o.u. is broken into two categories. base management and services fees, and allowances for as-needed services. the base fees derive from actual proposals, from sfpud services, and the total base services sum to $4.6 million, and the total allowances amount to nearly $1.9 million. here is a detailed breakdown of the base services that will be provided by public works, m.t.a., and p.u.c. as you can see, each of their respective scopes also includes a 15% contingency over run for services that could not be anticipated at the time the sfpw manager prepared the m.o.u. budget based on kpleegz' proposals. and here is a detailed breakdown of the allowan

in 2011, the sfpuc began construction on the dam replacement project with the purpose of safeguarding critical facilities and public safety against earthquake and flood. in january of 2017 during a large storm event, a landslide occurred on a section of calaveras road. it made the road impassable to the dam replacement project contractor and to the public. as you can see, calaveras road is the main access road for the project contractor to transport large equipment and materials to and from the project site, and the road closure put the project schedule at risk. though alameda county operates and owns calaveras roads, a minimum of six months before they would be able to design and begin construction of the necessary road repair. on april 4, 2017, san francisco board of supervisors approved an sfpuc emergency declaration authorizing to construct a bypass road up slope and adjacent to the landslide area so the project could continue without further delay. >> president cohen: i remember that. >> though our contractor was able to resume work on the dam by using the new road alignment, the

in addition, as you know, the sfpuc entered into two long-term contracts that will generate 147 megawatts of renewable power in california. that's enough to power 130,000 average san francisco homes per year. so it's a really big step in converting our power supply to clean energy. and i do want to mention our long-term goal that we're driving towards and that's to eliminate greenhouse gases entirely by 2030. that target adopted by the board of supervisors, is 15 years faster than the state's new target adopted by senate bill 100 and signed into law earlier this week by governor brown. so, again, demonstrating that local communities can be motivators towards these objectives. on the regulatory front, the california p.u.c. had issued two proposals. as a reminder, clean power sf generation rates are set to absorb the impact of our customers. the first proposal was in you'd by the judge assigned to the proceeding on august 1. the second proposal is an alternate, issued by the commissioner assigned to the proceeding on august 14. broadly speaking, the judge's proposal is much better. it's a b

according to sfpuc, residents could be forced to achieve 20% to 30% reductions. and residents in daly city, heyward, menlo park and redwood city would be forceded to ration less than 25 gallons per person per day. these are rates not seen anywhere in the developed world. such rationing could only be avoided with major investments in new supplies that have no certainty of being able to be procured, let alone being able to be procured by 2022, the date that the water board plans on beginning the state water plan. the bay area could be forced to live under extended rationing for years, which could inhibit our ability to build anything -- hospitals, schools or more affordable housing to parks. we have urged the state water board to take whatever measure is necessary to meet competing needs on the san joaquin and its tributaries laid out earlier today. thank you for consideration our views. >> president kwon: thank you. sharlene woodcock. welcome. >> some have said we've reached the end of the possibilities of conservation is absurd until the state bans fracking, whic

loan program general obligation bonds, as well as the transbay transit center, and is used by the sfpuc. the budget analyst has reviewed and recommends approval of these actions and joined by the finance director, kevin cone, and rhonda tue. together we are able to answer specific questions you may have about the actions. >> supervisor cohen: appreciate that. i am going to reserve my questions and pivot to the budget legislative analyst to hear her thoughts. >> so, to follow up, airport has $6.2 billion in outstanding revenue bonds. so, could be used to refund outstanding debt. there are parameters in terms of debt saving that would have to be met before outstanding debt could be refunded. table two on page 24 of the report gives summary of the estimated sources and uses of the bonds. this could vary a bit, only authorizing to move forward between the issuing bonds, the actual terms of the bonds would matter when the bonds, refunding bonds were issued. the other piece of the legislation is approving the form of the continuing covenant agreement, and we culled this out, it's basically al

the upper 83 miles of the tuolomne of wild and scenic as of 1984, and back then, the sfpuc did not support wild and scenic status, but the board of supervisors did, so thank you to your predecessors for that. the tuolomne provides water for 200,000 acres of prime farm lance in stanislaus county. it's a very hard working river. only 20% reaches its confluence with the san joaquin. we are working on the bay delta water quality plan. would love your engagement. the board of supervisors in the past has done a lot to support the cause. there is a resolution in 2008 to support moving forward the water system improvement program without diverting more water from the tuolomne, and i'm out of time. thank you for your time. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is will henshaw, born and raised in san francisco. i'm a renter, and i want to speak on one as expect of prop 10, vacancy control. i think it's going to be very costly to the city and bad for the tenants in the long run. the city will have to create a new division of the rent board to manage landlord vacancy reporting and cont

i'm glad to see that within the development agreement that will be a public power consideration with sfpuc as well as with some of our other major area plans and the commitment to the child care center, which is incredibly important. i have a series of questions both on some labor issues, the t.d.m. program, and the housing program, and i'll just begin with some of my questions in regards to labor. first of all, i know that there is a waiver on requirements on prevailing wage and apprenticeship similar to what we did with mission rock and pier 70, but my understanding was in those cases, the developer had entered into a project labor agreement, and i remember strong labor support when those d.a.s came to land use committee, and i'm just curious what the status is in discussions with labor. and if i have misinformation, please do correct the information that i have. >> supervisor. >> supervisor cohen? >> president cohen: thank you. i can just touch base with that, it's an ongoing conversation to finalize the details there in terms of what labor harmony would look like on this particular pro

and the sfpuc in the effort to capture both the concerns and goals of the residents in the bayview, so that time for me as a rookie commissioner, that time was very important and valuable. it was a chance for me to meet people growing up near a waste water plant. my wife grew up near one in chicago. when the wind shifted, it would ruin your afternoon barbecue. reducing impact is only a start. what struck me about d.j. was his calm, thoughtful demeanor, but underneath, he is driven to rally the community, to effect meaningful change. d.j. listened to all sides and gave attention to his detractors, never taking things personally. this is the true hall mark of a servant leader, which is d.j.'s m.o. we've spent time in his hometown of fresno, or as he says, fres-yes.
