yesterday i was at the capital planning committee asking that the puc item be continued and the puc plan amended. i'm circling back to "the chronicle" article. it's on the side of the hill, naturally, and as such is classified as a dam. the main concern for the reservoir in the case of a large quake is the roof. without seismic improvements, the roof could sway laterally with the movement of the earth. it could collapse and possibly damage the pipe that brings clean water from hetch hetchy. in that case, the supply of drinking water to much of the city could be cut off. even if the roof stays intact -- [bell ringing] -- enough damage could be done so contaminants on top of the roof, mostly bird droppings could get into the water supply and cause health concerns. >> thank you. >> did you say there was information? okay, good, thank you. francis is next. good afternoon. >> good afternoon. so, commissioners, when the advocates for our citizens come here and talk to you all about something, it's because they're concerned about what is happening in the community. and i think we got to take --

to your point, the california puc is pending, and we intend to work very closely with that.e: the big group of banks that did provide that funding, and mike, you announced today a mega high-grade bond sale in order to refinance particularly that bridge loan that needs to be refinanced in 306 to four days. curious as to the timing. were you pressured by the banks, or could you have waited until conditions eased a little bit? it is pretty awkwardly timed, you have to say. mike: i would say it is coincidental. we have been watching the markets over the past few days and seeing and improving conditions for us to go to the market with this investment grade offer. day. look like the right the last couple of days we were in the process of taking them to bridge, and we had the merger news that made the last couple of days the wrong time to be in the market. so we are coming up today with that offer, and i am delighted about it. it is the first investment grade offering in the history of this company. we are pleased on how the agencies are rating us, and the strength of this business

tomorrow there is a joint closed session meeting, the first of its kind in my memory between the puc commission and the board of supervisors in this chamber at 4:00 p.m. this is a resolution as the clerk just said, affirming the city's support for the acquisition of pg&e assets in the city and county of san francisco, contingent on certain conditions. and we have voted on many similar resolutions up until now. but as we go into this joint meeting with the p.u.c. and as the p.u.c. has on their calendar a very similar, almostite cal, resolution, that they are scheduled -- almost identical resolution that they are scheduled to vote on tomorrow afternoon, i wanted to bring this to the committee and subject to our deliberations and public comment, send this to the full board of supervisors as a committee report. the language should not be new to any of us except for maybe supervisor preston, which recites the history of the provision of electrical service to san francisco since 1913, and to public facilities in the city since 1918. goes onto elucidate the letter dated 14 months ago by may

there is a tele-connect effort through the puc and we are setting aside $25 million to advance that effort and that is hotspots, wi-fi and addressing the issue of digital divide and they will supplement the work of apple, rather google and others in that space and in addition to that they are putting $5 million total package and 30 million to puc to secure additional chrome books, tablets, excuse me not ipods as i referenced a moment ago, as needed and those jewels that can plug-in devices that will allow people to do the distance learning that we are promoting at this moment. we have that progress that we want to that space and also progress as it relates to partnership at city level. the city of sacramento is looking at a proof of number of before may 1, they will be converting seven school buses and making the mobile hotspots to provide access. if that proof of concept is successful we will roll that out more broadly throughout the state of california. it is also an expression of appreciation, not just at the cta in our teachers but to those out there who also deserve enormous amounts o

the first significant paragraph mentioned that the sf puc was in a lawsuit but it did not prohibit sfpuc from releasing any of those flows. the secondsive paragraph mentions the need to get on -- the need to get other water districts the need to let any additional sfpuc pass through but makes no mention if we need to get their agreement. it seems like the water wat-- other water districts should have some wish to support sfpuc's decision. the time frame for waiting to get additional water for the fish cannot be measured in decades. because of its win-win nature, the program deserves better than ambiguous and inconcluesive statements from staff. dave warner. that concludes his letter. mr. moderator, do we have any calls? >> caller: madam secretary, there are three calls in the queue. >> clerk: okay. >> caller: correction, we now have four callers. i'll queue them up now. >> you have five questions remaining. >> clerk: go ahead, speaker. i'll start your time when you begin speaking. >> thank you very much. this is peter dreickmeyer from the tuolomne river trust. it's good to communicate wi

public works, puc, airport, mta, rec and park and port. and so all of the other departments, whether it be the police department, fire department, if they want to build and construct a building, those departments would have to come to public works. >> supervisor haney: thank you. >> this next slide is a bit of an eye chart and the next one is worse. but i wanted to talk briefly about contracting methods. the city has more or less broken up the contracting. if you're buying goods and services, that was governed in large part by chapter 21 of the admin code. if a department is looking to develop as a public work, building a building, that would be governed by chapter 6. i'm going to start this discussion with some of the different contracting methods for the procurement of goods and services as it relates to chapter 21. so in large part, if you are seeking to do a professional services contract under chapter 21, the admin code defers the authority for that in the contracting department to develop the scope, to oversee in the bidding process
