the p.u.c.'s debt policies are a public document providing clear guidance to the ratepayers that they are conducting the debt administration in a manner that meets market standards and practices compliant with all laws, rules and regulations. having robust policies demonstrates that the p.u.c. is meeting the objective of being a good financial steward and is financially sustainable and it is consistent with the best practices of the government finance office gfoa a bond organization that represents and advocates for agencies such as the p.u.c. our debt policies were established in 2004 and because of the ever changing nature of the markets have been revised most recently in 2017. our debt policies cover many areas including types and purposes of debt, debt authorization and approval, debt over site, debt limitations method of sale and debt structuring. ongoing debt administration including disclosure compliance is also covered. having comprehensive debt policies allowed us to benefit including ma

staff of the california p.u.c. recently issued a report that you may have read ability in the newspaper where it made findings of a pattern of negligence with pg&e, with respect to its treatment of transmission, operations, and maintain innocence, specifically they were reviewing the circumstances around the campfire. the ignition of the fire was sourced at a transmission tower and failing cable hook. the california p.u.c. staff found negligence there. so this goes to that issue of safety culture and what kind of company may emerge from bankruptcy. on that front, we're still continuing to see in the legislative setting a number of ideas and approaches to trying to address that, what i'm referring to as a corporate culture change. it's either because of a change in governance structure or other reforms. the co-op plan, which we talked about a little bit is one of those concepts. this is the concept that mayor licardo from san jose, working with other public officials throughout pg&e service territory embraced the co

i know that the p.u.c. has been creative in how they're working with the federal government and doing green bonds and infrastructure that we're doing at treasure island. i think we're going to need to continue to push those as hard as we can. the other thing i would say -- this doesn't prioritize them, which is a big next step. how do we prioritize them. some of that will come out in the p.u.c.'s capital plan and the city's capital plan and other documents. >> all right, thank you very much. commissioner paulson. >> so mr. strong, i'm incredibly impressed with the list. this is the first time i seen the full presentation out of the city's office. they put all this stuff together. i know that when the mayor created the disaster committee and people told me never join a committee that's called a disaster committee. i know it still exists. as a matter of fact, i believe i'm still on it. i don't i think ever received a letter kicking me off of it. for that matter, i'm impressed with this stuff. i've been involv

on december 26, 2018, san francisco p.u.c. revised the emergency declaration again, based on findings from project staff that found poor soil conditions and additional challenges which increased the anticipated amount up to $5 million and subsequently approved by the board of supervisors with an authorization under chapter 6.60 and chapters 21.15. on september 25, we subsequently revised this emergency declaration again based on active construction and feedback and recommendations from the project team to increase the -- not to exceed budget up to 6.25 million from the 4.12 million. and i'll get into that in a little more detail. one last recap from the initial design that was presented here in january 2019. i'd like to illustrate the initial design which is shown on the screen, the blue lines illustrate the approximate location of the crossing of islais creek. the bottom blue line illustrates the profile of this pipeline. the red line illustrate what is we attempted to construct and the initial construction duration we estima

and the san francisco p.u.c. regarding operation and allocation costs for the violet water transfer. >> good afternoon, steve ritchie again. this is to approve and authorize and execution of the agreement between the bay area water supply and conservation agency and the san francisco p.u.c. and the agreement with the city of hayward, east bay municipal district, regarding a one-time use of the hayward for the pilot water transfer. this has been something that nicole i'm sure will make some comments on, because this has been in the works for six years to try to figure out what it would take to actually get a water transfer, it happens in this case to be through the hayward inner tide. taking water from east bay mud system and then passing it through the inner tide into our system, which really goes to the city of hayward. so they have been looking for a long time at, you know, what does it take to do it. and this has been long effort trying to actually put in line all of the institutional rates. that's the big iss

and if we could get the p.u.c. off their land grab on this property, we could have a happy ending, very soon. so nonetheless, i appreciate all the effort that's being made to preserve the flower market. and i wish the city had taken as much care in looking at the health of the flower stands in san francisco as they dwindle down to single digits but nonetheless, i would like to see the city help the flower market survive. if we can get the flower market to have its permanent site, it makes a lot more sense. thank you very much. >> before we hear from the next speaker, i want to thank you for personally delivering flowers when my father passed away, to my mother's house. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. south of market association. i recall when there used to be breweries out there, warehouses, supply shops, and a lot of them moved away for all sorts of reasons, particularly breweries that are no longer there. it's really developing -- i like what's going on. it's nice to see places coming up. the giants ball

fire, police, p.u.c. we have two new additions within the historic complement of eser participants, and that's the facility for d.e.m., at the 9-1-1 dispatch center and as well this category of disaster response, which i will speak about shortly. we all know the threat. we have facilities completed through the first two bonds, significant facilities. i call them generational so far as we probably will not build another such facility for 50 years or more. these are very important projects to the various departments i mentioned. that medical examiner is one of the departments that joined the eser group of projects. we worked in every neighborhood throughout the city, both in regards to fire stations, police stations, and facilities that result from the emergency firefighter water system. again, the p.u.c. exclusively manages the project within the eser bond program. there are a good number of facilities and i will speak about them shortly. there is work completing with regard to eser 2014. we have a new pol

i've been around and served p.u.c. for over a decade. i sat in these seats behind me for years and this is my first opportunity to speak. i'm glad to be here and be gentle as the general manager has said. so i'll start in the period ending in september, and then i'll go over the quarterly report. so the overall, currently we have 34.7% complete with $899 million extended to the close of september. last quarter we closed at 32.2%, just to put that in perspective. this quarter, we're able to progress one project forward into the award face and two projects in the construction phase. so we have 19 properties in pre-construction, and 15 in construction, and 36 in the close out or completion stages represented in gray. i wanted to give you some highlights of those properties that is ongoing, especially in the construction phase in the upcoming slides. so this quarter, the project that you're familiar with, the construction phase in august. the construction management general contractor advertised four early out packages. demolition and the as

and the san francisco p.u.c. although the proposed project stretches from stewart to octavia, it will be broken down and constructed in smaller segments from three to four blocks each. phase one a is market street between fifth and eighth street. and this time line here shows our schedule for developing the construction mitigation program for better market street. kicking off in january, the city departments will gather and strategize and develop a preliminary outline of our construction mitigation program. beginning in february, we will work closely with the office of economic and workforce development to conduct a business survey as well as start outreach to businesses within phase one a. at our next quarterly report here of the transportation authority board, we will present our outline for the construction mitigation plan, and then we will finalize it and have it ready in the summer, which aligns nicely with when we will be advertising construction. the whole award process can take anywhere from five to six m

when anything actually happens, they don't look at one individual, they look at p.u.c. stepping in and getting the job done, and that's what we do. my name is dalton johnson, i'm the acting supervisor here at treasure island treatment plant. >> good afternoon and welcome to the land use and transportation committee for today, monday, december 16th, 2019. our last land use committee meeting of the 2019 calender year. i am aaron peskin, the chair of this committee joined to my left by committee member supervisor matt haney and our clerk is ms. erika major. we welcome, in her own right for her first trial by fire experience is land use committee deputy city attorney anne pearson. do you have any announcements? >> clerk: silence all cellphones and electronic devices. completed speaker cards and copies of any documents that include as part of a file should be submitted to the clerk. items will appear on the januarf supervisors agenda less otherwise stated. >> we are joined momentarily to my right by vice-chair of the committee supervisor ahsha safai who rightfully comments t
