steve richy. >> good afternoon, mr. ritchie. >> good afternoon, commissioners. steve ritchie, general manager for water. if i could have the slides, please. i'm here to give another update on the bay area water quality delta update phase one. a few points to talk about. in the very beginning of this process, we've been committed to improving the fischery wh-- fish- [inaudible] >> -- what it actually means, but regardless, our proposed commitments are to a tuolomne flow schedule. we will begin the implementation process as soon as possible. we're committed to adaptive management to make the fishery improvements a success. the initial actions aren't successful, we will take additional steps. we're accelerating our efforts to expand and diversefy or water supply to meet our water supply obligations. the state water board will consider the water quality control plan update tomorrow. we hope the state board's action will be to accept the proposed framework settlement for consideration, but the impact nature of the state war -- water board's action is not clear. we wil

steve richy had an idea to bring together different agency that's have a stake in the future of the bay area and water supply and other issues to really think about how we're developing. plan bay area, right now, is proposing a lot of development that people don't want to see. the problem with the development we've been seeing lately is in san francisco, we've been adding jobs six times as fast as housing. the housing crisis has gotten worse, we need to prioritize where we use our precious water. i also want to mention that a few years ago, sfpuc contributed to the purchase of dos rios. that area has been restored. we're working on a petition to dedicate our water rights there to permanent and stream flow. we're trying do our peace. we'd love to partner with the sfpuc once again. we encourage you not to oppose the bay delta plan and ask for dease lays and not to sue and to move forward with suggestions that commissioner vitor had earlier today. you get my last six seconds. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is ryan camero. i'm a visual story telling activist. that is fr

i spent an incredible amount of time and steve richy has spent many, many hours and days and months of his life also working on the program. and it tried to make everybody happy. it tried to involve everybody that had a voice. it had some flaws in it. it was too big and that everyday failed and it produced no water. i'm hopeful this effort will produce water in a timely basis. i am heart end by the emphasis on early implementation and the idea that outcomes are what matters not terms and conditions and that we need to accelerate efforts that are already underway to identify ways of dealing with diminishing supply. and by that i mean, supplies that have been rededicated to environmental purposes. those things give me a great deal of optimism that, if we don't screw it up t. can actually produce water. it can produce benefits for the fishery now and it can produce experience that as it turns out, that we have not done enough or we've done it wrong so we can adjust that and we accept the responsibility to do that. so that gives me great optimism and i hope that we're successful in that. b
