to welcome everyone here today to this great event, the final papers to really implement our new treasure island. all of the people behind me, i want to spend the time thinking them and everyone involved. when you have a project that has lasted decades, where you are working with federal agencies, the navy, all the funding that we did not have, developers that we had to make sure were together time and again with us, residents and had the confidence that our city could not only treat them well but also plan for their future, with them, working with them. groups such as the homeless, those on the lower end of our housing affordability. all of that has come together over decades of hard work. right up until last week, that work continued at the highest level in order to make this happen. i need to spend a moment thinking the people who have been before me in this position and other federal positions. they have their history marked in many years of essential contributions to this plan, and to the workings of the island, to the vision that is being presented today. first off, senator feinstein. i wa

regards to the treasure island project, i wonder if you could expand further on what the project is. >> there are several things we have to do for treasure island, whether there is a new development or not. water for treasure island comes across the bay bridge from san francisco's side, but should that be disrupted that you need a secondary source of water, there's two ways to do that. one, there are some tanks on the island, on yerba buena island in particular, that are cracking and in need of repair. there is also a pump station on the eastern side under the current bay bridge. when demolished, that station will also be demolished, and that is the back of source for getting water on to treasure island. -- that is the backup source. we have several options for taking care of that, but what is currently in our budget is over the next two years, to put enough money aside to rebuild the pump station. the new bridge has pipes. one of the pipes is for us to provide back up water to the residents of treasure island -- backed up -- backup water to the residents of treasure island. supervisor chu: thank you. mr. rose, i believe part of your report covers this. >> yes. on pag
