i understand this as a preservation of the bay delta. this is about preservation of our sources of water and the lack of natural water flow contributes to the temperature rise in the bay. but it is also about the protection of a particular type of fish that is important to the area. i think there is unanimous agreement about that but i don't know how strong and robust the conversations are about predator control and what kind -- and how they have been infused in this conversation. >> they are part of the overall conversation because we are looking at a whole suite of measures and not just flow. we looking at measures such as predator depression, habitat restoration and all talked -- tied together on the outcome we have. it is all linked as one. >> will those be written and formalized agreements? >> yes. >> thank you. >> the other thing that we look at is what we call functional flows versus unimpaired flows. the right amount of water at the right time to produce a result. for example, adult salmon around the ocean and how did they know t

s public opposition to the bay delta plan. of course it's the commission's responsibility to provide an adequate water supply to the citizens of san francisco, but the commission's position is out of line with the deeply held values of those very same citizens. we must restore sufficient cold water flows to our river or we face the extinction of salmon and other species. years of greater flows exacerbated by climate change has endangered the species. you can trace their effect all the way back to plant life on land that has been fertilized by the terrestrial creatures that have eaten those salmon, they're a critical species. while the commission should clearly work toward a solution as part of the ongoing negotiations, taking a stand against the ban is against san francisco's issues. mr. richie's numerous examples of what we can do are a little bit late. the recent actions of the commission and staff require a course correction. i urge you to retract your public position while you continue to work hard on a negotiated settleme
