and last year, which was above average, is about 150% precipitation and the puc had entitlements to 107-acre feet, so more than the full storage. and system demand pretty much leveled out. it was 196 last year and it looks like this year maybe 197. so we have a lot of water, demand is down and i hope we take that into consideration when it comes to the fish and the salmon-based ecosystem. sorry, this is a little faded. this is a graph put together by brian brown, required economist and member of the overview bond committee. the red line is the cost of water and as it goes up, demand goes down. there's a price signal. the blue line, until you get -- there's a grey line and blue line together, hard to see but where that ends, on the left of that is actual demand and then the blue line to the right, which is only blue is projected demand. and the gr earthquakes is what brian brown's model suggested to be on price prices. you see he was incredibly accurate and predicting demand will continue to go down. we will get serious about water entitlements will be and provide more water for the ecos

acting director for sfmta, tom mcguire and san francisco's puc. would call everyone on this list and said if there was a pile of dirt and they couldn't park their car at 7:00 at night. so the responsiveness of their teams were amazing. i want to thank all of their teams because every week we had an issue, whether it was the veterinarian or people getting dirt in their driveway and couldn't park their car. park driveway, this is all things that they really stepped up. i put 75k into budget so we could do a pilot programme called curb management. and this something i would think about because barbara, i don't know where barbara is from the neighborhood, she would tell me everyday when i walked by her house how we had people parking in her driveway or double-parking to run in and get the ubers and stuff to get the food from the merchants. we said, how can we solve these issues? they said, parking is so horrible here. i heard that, no -- [ laughter ] with these parking, so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management, so we're in the

>> as i said, the puc has to approve it. i only know what i read in the paper, dan. i think another tool which the legislation that then governor brown signed, which is available to all utilities, is to install these infrared camerasing and they're being installed as we speak in the pg&e area. they were first installed in the san diego area in 2017. they can see a fire from 80 to 120 miles. the information goes directly every second on amazon web-based services to the fire chief's mobile phone. he knows exactly how many trucks to send, and two months after the cameras were installed, a major fire broke out. it was put out in 55 minutes. there was no loss of life. two years later, there's no loss of life in san diego county. i think the real promise lice in this technology and governor newsom has ordered 100 cameras in addition to what we're trying to establish in areas that these areas service. so we have about 250 cameras installed, mostly in the southern air yachl we hope to get to 700 in a year and a half. it greatly enhances the safety of people. >> that's intere

the pending request, that's the california puc, would increase bills by $30 a month. the premium value that we're offering in that 2.$5 billion offer includes a gain on sale, some of which can be used to make remaining pg & e customers whole. san francisco is not pursuing this offer to avoid wildfire costs. the city will pay for and use the transmission services. sanfrancisco will pay for operation and maintenance costs on the transmission system and vegetations management and all things we're paying for, we would pay for even were we to be become the provider of electric services for all of san francisco. that's the impact on others. so now let's take a look at what the impact is on san francisco's general fund. the acquisition would be funded by revenue from electricity sales. these are funds that are only available if we actually go forward with the acquisition. wear not drawing funds away from other city priorities. there has been a campaign by ibew, local 1245 that makes that assessoassertion and that's a m. the city would be compensated for revenue loss from the

lastly, i hope you're having conversations with the california puc to talk about uber and lyft. when i see reduced car use, better transit equals less uber and lyft use and i think that if you can have some say with the california puc to let us regulate that in an urban city, that is dedicated billions of taxpayer dollars to a transportation infrastructure and that would be icing on the cake. thank you. >> before miss selby is given an opportunity to respond, i want to apologize to mr. cohen for calling him mr. allen, my apologizes. thea? >> thank you for that and i would be happy to have mr. cohen stewart talking about the one-cent sales tax. the voices for public transportation has no interest in that being the primary revenue source and i want to be clear about that. but i wanted to address the other things about the west side, un-equity, getting people in san francisco around san francisco. a lot of problems are stemming from 40% of our carbon emissions are from cars and trucks. muni says .1% which i have a hard time believing but let's say between 1% and 2%. were that means
