since before and after the puc found nothing 1932. it is vitalally important that we not only rescue nietz the history of the tribal upon lands which we reside. but that woot we acknowledge the fact the people have established a work partnership with the puc and productive and flourishing members went many greater san francisco pay area communities today. call the first item. >> 3 approval of the millions of december 10 issue 2024. are there yekzs or comment on the minutes? >> could you open public comment mrs. lennear. >> raise your hand if you wish to comment on item 3. moderator. are there callers with a hand raised? >> there are no callers. >> thank you. >> thank you. could i have a motion and second to approve the minutes of the december 10th. >> move we approve minutes. >> seconded. >> roll call vote. >> president stacy. >> aye. >> vice president arce. >> aye. >> commissioner jamdar. >> aye >> commissioner leveroni. >> aye >> next item. >> upon general public comment item 4. mr. decosta. >> ficould mention the commission values

and it was actually a former commissioner of the puc as well. when considering all the factors associated with the city's entitlements to water its physical system and the dire consequences of just being wrong in the forecasting of the length of drought that may hit the city. i cannot agree with any comment that the city the c's operation rule is overly conservative. >> this was where the districts were attacking our drought planning and we had a vigorous defense for that because we had been through a really bad experience and know that it can get worse. >> that's that's the approach we we believe is the most prudent one by far. so we do have some challenges ahead. the 2008 adopted bay delta plan that we've talked about in different settings over time of may require up to 93 million gallons per day of impact to regional water systems applies. we have an alternative healthy rivers and landscapes that we've been proposing to the state and they are actively considering those alternatives right now. the healthy rivers and landscapes alternative has

so public works inspection services puc and mta design review services etc. these budgets are are fully billable to to cd within this category our expenses in 2324 were 1.7 below our established budget or 27% below our established budget for fiscal year 25 and we expect our final expenditures within the current fiscal year 25 to be similarly below budget. there will be a ramp up this spring in the stage two work as i discussed earlier but the state that increase of of activity going into next year and the increase in hourly wages for city departments which make up the bulk of the city cost budget we don't believe that an increase in the city cost budget is warranted in fiscal year 26 at this time. so we're holding the city cost budget flat in our projections for fiscal year 26 and 27 other than some minor adjustments in anticipated costs associated with the administrate ation of the community facilities district which is actually reimbursable from the proceeds of the community facility district rather than billable to the developer. so the costs that are bill

not just public works, the general fund departments but all departments, the enterprise departments, puc, mta and airport. >> there are some exceptions and there is a process if you've got key core functions that you need to fill and provide to the the city and county of san francisco, there is a process that was developed going through the mayor's budget office and your respective policy chief. >> so there are ways to get positions approved and filled but you have to go through a process, pause new contracts or programs that have not yet been signed or implemented. i myself personally had multiple conversations with the mayor's budget office on this. if it's a one time funding source, a general, a g.o. bond, a revenue bond, maybe an external grant those can go forward even if they're new and not yet started. but we just need to talk through that process with the mayor's office. >> one of the ones that we're talking about with the mayor's office i'm writing a memo as we will not literally as we speak but i will have it done today is the trash can procurement can that contract go forward

it provides analytical support for the puc's water capital program and we detail the budget on pages 11 and 12 of our report. this is about 1.8% of the total capital spending over the next ten years that is planned for the water enterprise. so it's actually relatively on the low side of what these kind of contracts typically are which are closer to 5%. our understanding from the puc is that their staff they feel like their staff are already pretty sophisticated, they have sophisticated processes and that the contractor will be handing work over to to staff over time. so even though this is kind of below that 5% standard, this is sufficient to meet their needs . this is funded entirely by water capital revenues. >> this is not a general fund cost. recommended approval of item for thank you. i just want to make sure i do understand the presentation. so with this consulting contract act and it's really overseeing providing management funds for the three project that you have listed which is hatchery water sip regional water c i, p and even a local water sip and that's inclusive clearly

the airport and using that as an example for all of the departments rec park power and water, dpw, puc etc. does the maintenance of those collections fall within their budgets and then is transferred to us? where is that money generated? and you had on one of your slides the alicia piece that was restored so somewhat fragile piece that had been up you know the one alicia piece how track the money for that for me with you yes so for new or well for artworks that are funded you know created using funding from the art in richmond ordinance there is a component of that funding so 70% of the funding goes to the artwork and there's a component of it i think 10% that is retained, earmarked or identified as being available for conservation of the work. so that is really the source of funding that we have for project that are funded for that have been funded from the art in richmond ordinance and do you have any idea about how much is sitting in that reserve? >> i would have to look into that. i'd be happy to. so important is just you know that the maintenance of our civic art collection is a b

work for various city departments recreation and parks, public works, the port, the airport mta, the puc and they deserve a break as as much as the other first responders whether that be fire police 911 these guys really deserve a break they've been through a lot especially during the pandemic when you know our frontline essential workers were being required to be both mentally and physically responsible for taking care of the city and they had no bathrooms. they they had no offices. they had no desk, they had no ventilation. they just were expected to continue to do the work that they signed up to to do when we're actually going through a global pandemic. so it's really for those folks that we're here today saying, you know, something has got to be done. we have to we have to make drastic changes to our approaches to this crisis. >> i love talking to a supervisor dorsey and supervisor and guardian about our union's ability to be a part of the solution through pre apprenticeship and apprenticeship programing that actually cleans our streets and serves our citizens well something that's t

partners on this on this particular program especially the electrification side is the san francisco puc. so what we do and what we have been doing is so kirkland's an example of that. >> it's layla's creek is we've been trying to get our ppg and e applications done extremely early so again traditional project delivery we kind of wait for the design to be done and then we get a contract or and i think as many people know we're kind of waiting around losing times in cost escalation due to having pge come in and get their work done. so that's definitely a lesson to learn that we've had over numerous projects over the years. so we're actually once we get a sense of the power requirements we're really working upfront to try to get our pgce applications early and kind of manage that regulatory process and their requirements in parallel with the project delivery by site. >> okay. and then could be this is again long range bedroom where we can you go over what we do with your renovations down the road . i know we're keeping the picture but we're keeping we keep fairly when we do that at muni me
