decosta, please speak >> commissioners, let me state something categorically. this commission did not pay detail attention when one of the deans was there, the southeast. committed so the very nefarious activities for which she was removed. this is what perturbs the community when we see any changes made irrespective of whether they are holistic or not and if they are not brought before the community in a wholesome manner, it disturbs us. so, we really -- i don't care if the assistant general manager for external affairs calls here and says anything. i don't believe her. i simply don't believe her because her actions in the past has not been wholesome. she was brought before the committee. and a dark cloud, a sad day for an advocate. i don't go to the southeast commission meetings. why? look at the people who are appointed. look at the chair. she doesn't even understand english. so you go there to blah blah blah whatever, you might have chickens cackling there. we need to treat the community with respect. fault not really there, but over here. so here the gener

decosta, yolanda louis. >> good afternoon. >> good morning. the community is at a stage where we are paying very careful attention to the water system improvement project but to the sewer system improvement project. as you know commissioners those are still and fouling -- following what's really happening. we do have the experts in place to address what is happening. some of it in good faith was addressed, and i'm talking about calaveras and then we had to deal with removal of over 2 million tons of dirt. that's not a joke, but it's being done. if you read yesterday's, today's news, the united states geological is survey is talking about the hayward fault. if anybody knows where that fault is it's very near calaveras. i'm not saying that we are not ready for the big one, but what i am saying is that this particular project should have been done some years ago. we can't cry over spilled milk, but we have to make note of it. having said that, some of those in the community are interested in the sewer system improvement project and in that projec

decosta? >> first i want to talk about visit courtney. i want to thank you for what you did for the last years. i also want to thank you for being open when i approached you about some matters. i wanted to look at sea level from the point of view of the first people, the marl owney. this is their land. i also want to look at it from the point of history where some three women took upon themselves to stop the infield mostly from the east bay. if we go today to ocean beach, we can see the havoc that erosion is creating. but if we go to candlestick point to the state park, we can really see the havoc of the erosion. one of the things that we talk about sea level is we are talking generalities. we could not be build this high rise buildings, using clean hetch hetchy water. this commission seriously should warn the developers and san francisco planning to go into gray water, seriously. we can't be taking millions and millions of clean water from hetch hetchy so that these people will live in these condominiums that cost $5 million and $10 mill

decosta. >> commissioners originally the grand jury had a report on sea level rise, and soon after that the san francisco port commission had a hearing and i would strongly advise this commission to prioritize a hearing on this matter, sea level rise, because superficially we talk about chamber of commerce and as you know million. >> climate change and you know millions met in new york and the staff has to be ahead of the game when it comes to anything that can adversely impact our clean drinking water with a blueprint -- god bless you. so the other thing is we're interested in infrastructure and we see the infrastructure that has been adversely impacted in the embarcadero area that all will go away just like that. we will get a taste of it soon with a high tides of the el nino. you will see it. in fact we're already seeing it now. when it comes to our water treatment plants we know about this. we don't shout on top of the roof but we know about it. there are many occasions our treatment plants have been compromised because of the salt water. we are lucky we have a state senator. we hav
