the last are items we identified separately for hetch-hetchy power and hetch-hetchy water. and for some perspective, in some cases, they are less than 1%. this puts into perspective how material they are. the last slide we have, the first three bullet points we have on this slide, we would be required to inform you of difficulties. there were no major issues discussed. in terms of material written communication, we have representation letters. we receive a signed document. so those are all of the required to medications. i would be happy to take your questions. president vietor: well, that is good news, is it not? i just want to congratulate mr. rydstrom. hi there any other comments? -- are there any other comments? commissioner: what is your name again? >> kerin. --karen. we have a series of other cities and counties that are a part of our client base. commissioner: given what we are going through now, it is very commendable in terms of what you have been able to achieve. have you seen a clean audit than this? -- cleaner audit than this? there is no other agency that has h

the people who work in our area are also in san jose, menlo base, so hetch-hetchy is critical to us. we are looking at how we can destroy the economic impact. nobody is talking of limiting the water supply. the agency can take whatever water supplies they need. we're talking but the economic impact. so we are not asking for growth. $220 million invested. santa clara and other agencies in the south bay. we have implemented conservation measures. again, we are down to about 63 gallons per day. for residential customers. thank you for your attention. president vietor: thank you very much for your time. next speaker, please. >> i am with the city of santa clara. i also have submitted prepared comments. given that we see option 5, i think i would comment on some of the impacts to santa clara. santa clara has been a customer since 1974 of the sfpuc, and though we have seen a decline, we have still been using an average of 4.1 over those 25 years on average. option five, there'll be a risk for santa clara. we would be at risk of exceeding that value. we do appreciate coming up with these op

we are also fortunate, as i state again and again, that this water, the hetch-hetchy, within the granite rocks, it is one of the best in the world. when you mix it with the of the waters as it comes over here, and i do not know if that was the original concept, but that is how we have it. it is not available to everybody, but it is a pretty good documentary that shows out california will have difficulties distributing good water. i say this because you know that spending $4.60 billion on our clean water system, and we get some according to reports, and we still need empirical data on the quality of the water, and today, if i am not mistaken, i sent a document to you, general manager, from the environmental protection agency, so i am here from time to time to remind you that these resources are -- [bell] we have to respect those resources, and we have to be thankful that we enjoy them. thank you very much. president vietor: thank you very much. >> hello. president vietor: hello. >> my name is barbara, and i am here to talk about the unresolved issues at the golf course. i am here on behal

what we are already doing at hetch hetchy and what we have done with our municipal road leads the nation. what we are doing in terms of increasing our private sector participation now 21 hundred solar installations that have been put up in our city alone, we are now leading. last year, there was no other big city in america that installed more solar than san francisco. we can get there with our extraordinary work we have down on energy efficiency. 45 megawatts of energy saved. again, we are barely scratching the surface. with the strategies that and his team have perfected, taking methane gas and converting it. all of these things, the wind efforts and the offshore how we're going create, and i will tell you, it is good to be lieutenant governor. we will get the ocean power project done right off the coast here of california. with all of these things, that is up to 100 megawatts on the high end of potential power generation. we will do a small pilot, hopefully as early as next year, the early part of 2013. all of these things put together in the aggregate, i'm absolutely confident we can

electrician in the navy, first lieutenant, and the first african american worker tradesman at hetch hetchy in the 1950's. however, he was never able to join the union. it was this experience that fueled her passion for access to the trade. 50 years later, we know that things have much improved and with the passage of this measure, but even greater pathways to careers and the trades will be opened up. i also want to thank reuben, a native san franciscan who grew up in the mission district and is now a union general contractor based here in san francisco. he has a 10-year history of hiring san franciscans at well above 50% as his way of giving back to the community. he has a compelling story about how he took over a project in the bayview where there was a great deal of attention between workers from a former contractor who have really messed up the relationships on the contract. he came in and hired young people off the street, just asking for jobs, hungry for work. he put them to work on the project, and they were there for months, for the duration that was left on the project. a pastor fr

first and foremost, supervisors, you have to understand that hetch hetchy and the water belongs to the first people. so in any deliberation where we use this sacred water, we have to not only respect them, but we have to reach out to them. today, i was on a radio show where they were talking about water resources all over this nation. where more and more water resources are being taken over by private entities. if we and you supervisors and politicians are not very tactful, how we take care of our water, how we maintain our system and how we charge our customers, we will be in big trouble. one of the reasons why they are spending $4.6 billion is because in past years, our mayors have cut into the general fund and deferred maintenance. today, after about three or four attempts, we still want to know what percentage of the $2.6 billion of the money spent from our bond measures are spent on our community, and we need that detailed report. i cannot express that in just two minutes. supervisor maxwell: thank you very much. is there any further public comment? public comment is closed. quick
