thank you. >> president kwon: mr. fred moheim. >> good afternoon, commissioners, and chairman kwon. 43-year resident of san francisco and life-long learner at city college. i am a proponent of optimiza thank you -- optimizing public land. the current plan limits parking for the college. in trying to optimize the use of the land, we end up diminishing the ability of the college to train the taxpayer work force that the city requires. and that's because we have many students and faculty members that can only access the college by vehicle and don't have access to public transit to get there. maybe not all the parking need it, but it makes it difficult. and that reflects on the building of the performing arts education center, which will provide venues on the south side of town. many of those will be in the evening and they will also require parking availability for people that cannot get there on public transit. on other fronts, the land should not be sold to a private developer. any housing built should be 100% affordab

. >> president kwon: thank you. chris chutes. >> chris chutes with the california sport fishing protection alliance. in 2014, i came before you and recommended that you take a better approach to the water control plan. part one would be to modify the board's framework and create special rules for flows. part two, to find an equitable division of responsibility between the city and the turlock and modesto units. you didn't do it. the technical staff provided me with a modify flow model of the tuolumne river. we thanked you for giving us a common tool to analyze flow options. we used the tool to create a proposal for the tuolumne and we filed that proposal with the regulatory commission. it will require more flow than the water flow in wet years and has special rules for dry years and sequences. there was a nod from staff that it was better than what others had proposed. that was it. we proposed the selection for the responsibility for the city and the districts. again, there was a response from staff that was a nod t

thank you. >> president kwon: thank you. next, mr. tom zeigerman. is that right? >> zicterman. stanford purchases 100% of its potable water from the sfpuc and we've reduce our potable water demand despite campus growth through an aggressive water conservation program and new innovative energy plant that relies less on cooling towers. the achievements are fewer demand reductions without significant impacts to research and educational facilities. and the conserve supply is dedicated to fuel you plan growth. stanford supports the sfpuc position. the state water resources control board's proposal to change and stream flow conditions for the tuolumne river would result insignificantly reduced surface water available for diversions and beneficial uses in the bay area. under drought conditions, stanford and other wholesale customers would be forced to rely on surface water supplies and groundwater, which would have other effects. stanford requests that the environmental and economic impacts of any shortage in the sfpuc water system
