came to the puc. and i quickly found donna to be incredibly diligent and detail oriented, almost to a fault, where i'd have to tell her once in a while, don't worry about it, we'll get there. but we shared a similar sense of humor. we share a similar astrologic sign we're both scorpios, which means that we constantly go back and forth with each other to say, no, don't wear that on your face and on your sleeve and she does the same to me. so i have loved working with you, donna, over the last a little bit more than two years, and you have been a lot of fun, and i can see why ed harrington is here, because you're a gem to work with, and i'm going to miss you. and i wish you the very, very, very best in the next journey of your life when you move up to oregon. so with that, there's a resolution for donna. okay. and whereas donna hood has enjoyed a wide ranging and fascinating career in service to others, spanning almost four decades, including as an aide in both houses of the oregon state legislature bef

the sf puc has about 2000 employees as the sf puc has suffered a lot of, a lot of the people have suffered because of the pandemic . during the pandemic, the sfpuc hired a lot of temporary workers , and most of them did pretty good at their jobs. but because we have a hr system that is smithsonian, they couldn't be made permanent. as human beings. i put it, having worked for many years in the federal system, i say good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way. but most importantly, aren't. your heart has to be in the right place so that you can take others to a better place. so this interaction in our workplace has to be one of uplifting one another. being kind to one another in in short, good actions. my time is up. i could have given you a sermon. thank you. any more? folks, for public comment in the room, let's go to the lines. do we have any callers, raise your hands if you wish to speak to item five. a madam secretary, there is one caller that wish to be. or two callers that wish to be recognized. thank you. caller i have muted your line. you have two minutes. my name is hel

it moved over to puc. puc is now doing all their sewer repair work with a private contractor. and so in the past, we had been reporting the puc voids and depressions that had exceeded three or more. and then they would go out and they would look at it. now that they've hired private contractors, they're looking at them much more frequently. so if you were to do a report now of three or more sinkholes, the report shows that there are none. so puc is being much more proactive with responding to the initial voids and depressions that are happening. so we're in the past we've been going out repairing the same location. you know, time after time that's not happening. and that explains the decrease in the voids and depressions. and that is the end of my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. so, tom, do you have you have questions? yeah, question do you do the state highways like 19th and van ness avenue with these repairs? we do do, we do have a, maintenance agreement with them, and we will be we do repair and potholes there. yes. very good. thank you. and co
