secretary housh: [reading roll] i would like to note that commissioner caen is on the way. president vietor: next item. secretary housh: the approval of the minutes of july 12, 2011. >> president vietor: approved? next item. general manager harrington: -- secretary housh: public comment for members of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commission's jurisdiction and that are not on today's agenda. we have no cards. president vietor: anyone? next item. secretary housh: identifies, -- i no. 5. -- item 5. general manager harrington: -- president vietor: can hold this until commissioner -- can we hold this until commissioner caen arrives? which item? yes. vice president moran? vice president moran: usually, it is a very detailed conversation about how we seek to balance these overtime. we really need to look get that and see what the implication is for rates for both water and on the power side, so i just suggest that we put this so that we can deal with the big issues before we get into the more detailed review of the budget. and then, there ar

commissioner caen: oh, go on. >> where were we? ok. now we are going to switch gears one more time to cost changes and the proposed budget is $4.9 billion, which is the exact same budget that was last approved. although there are a number of project level changes, some up, some down, the net saving of all these projects will allow us to establish a program management reserve of $161 million of the savings that have been accumulated since 2009. i like to think of the management reserve as a savings account. i will elaborate on that in a few minutes. i want to highlight the fact that you as a commission will still be required or will need to seek your approval for all construction cost increases over 10%, as well as extension for a schedule of 10%. our budget is divided into three major categories. construction costs include the awarded construction contracts, the cost of an owner-provided equipment and material, and delivery costs include such things as project and program management, planning, design and construction management, engine

commisssioner caen: david had some issue with this. are you here david? >> he raised the issue about the level of specificity of the item on the agenda. commisssioner caen: david, do you want to come up and restate your question? >> sure. i'm very happy with the presentation. i believe the policy and what is proposed is absolutely sound. my concern was that the agenda item description was kind of bare. i do not know if someone else might have seen the agenda and not known enough to come. that was my only concern on whether or not it warranted taking action today. i absolutely believe in the program. i would also notes very briefly on the content, i recently saw a talk about the wpa and the project's steering the depression and the important art component to construction projects. give me a new appreciation of the importance of connecting art to public construction projects. i think that continues to fall into that. i think this will work. commissioner moran: thank you. president vietor: i think that would hava great to better infom the public. i think tha

commissioner caen: i would like the discussion. >> the item is the first item under 5c, and it was about 525 golden gate. the first pages basically say we are on schedule and on budget. when you get to what would have been page 5 had it been numbered, there is an update of the project, and we added more information because the commission is requesting that. there are pieces related to the building. above-ground construction. putting 2% aside for art, and we are working on rearranging what that means and who is in charge of it. about $2.40 million was generated from that art, and the art commission, under the older way of doing business, they commissioned two major. the first would be in the lobby and another area, and it will have water cascading down, a plastic glass looking thing on both sides that would be a water feature for the building, and that has been commissioned. the other major piece is what they call the firefly wall. you have seen it before on the front of the building. it is a wall that will shimmer in the wind. it will be a cover for the wind turbines. so the front of the

caen's office, concerned about what happened there. i have not heard anything since.eight months later and all of a sudden this comes up. we want an opportunity to work with mr. owens and make sure those type of activities do not occur and the neighbors are heard. patricia is one of the people who informed me. if we could have time to discuss this or pursue something like the limited live informant -- performance permit, we would appreciate that. >> thank you. any other members of the public? this would not fall under the umbrella of the limited live entertainment, right? >> as he has applied and to go past ten, it would not be limited live performance, as he revised the application. >> ok. >> commisioner joseph: i make a motion at this point. before i do, i wanted to make my feelings really clear. i do believe that some things are going to open in that space, whatever it is. having something without a dance for is a far better cry then having another gravitate type club opened in that space but -- gravity type club opened in that space. opinions of what his sound is

commissioner caen: mr. kelly, did you say the five projects will go from the same time line? >> from my understanding, yes. it has been very difficult in trying to cite the recycled water. the golden gate park. we started the design because we are designing things at risk. maybe these projects are not good projects. the environmental impact comes out, and you cannot even do it there. these have been very challenging. >> i have been reticent to continue to work on designer risk for designer plans and golden gate park. to russia those projects to try to meet the overall wsip date and get it wrong did not make sense to me -- to rush those projects. while we have not change their schedules, it would not surprise me if they change in the future. the siting of recycled water in san francisco is going to be a difficult thing. if i may suggest, i think we need to keep the same deadline. what if it needs to be changed, it should be changed. we do not have any type of timeframe, it would be unfortunate. >> if you could refresh my memory, when are we going to resolve the issue? >> you h

commisssioner caen: i can certainly say that parsons has been a wonderful partner. it might be good to continue on. president vietor: commissioners? comments or questions on this? before we open it up for public comment, is there a motion to approve this item? >> second. president vietor: now if we could open up to public comment. >> we have one speaker card. president vietor: please. >> commissioners, harland kelly explained to you about what happens with our water system improvement projects. we lost over $100 million. people should be agitated. we know exactly what happened. what disturbs me -- i suppose it is linked with parsons. you says aecom and aecom and parson have satisfy your needs, and that maybe so. why is it that we have so many people from the east coast, over here and making millions of dollars? i see a company making millions of dollars. the local people get nothing. if you look at yourselves, commissioners, i do not see it reflective of the diversity of san francisco. we have astute engineers who are black and asian, but they do not form part of th
