you know the state's greatest dried plum production actually happens here in the sacramento and san joaquin valleys? farmers here produce more dried plums than the rest of the world combined. >> right now, we're looking at french prunes about to be harvested. and what i look for to see if they're ripe or not is color. we test for sugar. we look at overall fruit development. and this tree is ready to be harvested. >> here they are harvesting 96 tons of fruit a day. so, to be efficient, almost all the harvesting is done by machines now. a mechanical shaker grabs a tree's main limb and, in a matter of seconds, shakes the fruit onto a fabric catching frame spread underneath. from there, it's a quick conveyor ride to bins destined for the dehydrator. and just in ca you were wondering, they're prus in the field and dried plums after they've gone to the dehydrator. the next step in the life of a prune soon to become a dried plum happens here at the nearby dehydrator. here, the fruit is thoroughly washed and then placed on large wooden trays. then the fruit is wheeled into these huge ovens where th

the big ones are a realigning of a tunnel in the mountains and work on the san joaquin pipeline. there is also a project for treasure island for backed up water and water supplies on treasure island. again, that follows the same pattern we have had on all of the issues we have done. the third, the environmental enhancement surcharge -- as part of our negotiations with wholesale customers, we limited the amount of water we promised to take off the ptolemy river through the year 2018 -- the tuo9lome -- tuolome river through the year 2018. we had to have encouragement to not take additional water. it is not something where you can simply turn the tap off and not take the water, so we created environmental enhancement surcharge that said that if we collectively use more than 265 million gallons of water per day, we will then start charging a surcharge over the regular cost of water that would encourage people not to take that water off the ruolumne -- the tuolumne. the surcharge is high enough that it would encourage people to do other things instead of taking water of the rivers. wa

there is a process under way for establishing new standards for the san joaquin river. there are other activities that offset having this regulatory action. all of these provide great uncertainty and also great potential risk for san francisco that we will need to address in the future. based on current demands, we are looking at no greater than 20% systemwide reduction. that changes once you get past that time when customer demand will exceed 184 mgd. this is in compliance with the water conservation act of 2009. officthe legal requirement are t we have it submitted after july 1st to the state of california. i am happy to answer any questions. >> this is a public hearing as required by the law and i suggest that we go to public testimony at this time. do we have any speakers. >> good afternoon, commissioners. it is neat to see that the projected plan is down. we are making really good progress. a couple of concerns are related to taking more water from the -- river. one of the solutions for a meeting that losses through the -- river. we're hoping that we are able to fin

construction on six large projects including a water treatment plant, the western segment of the san joaquin county pipeline system, and the crystal springs pipeline replacement project. we completed construction on not towwo, but 3 project since we close the agenda today. we completed construction on two contracts. one achievement is the connection of the new crystal springs bypass tunnel to the stem. this was early in the reporting quarter. it required one of the most risky and challenging shutdowns of the entire program. the water enterprise deserves a lot of kudos to pull this off. we have completed 52 of the 108 shutdowns. on march 11, we started tunneling through the new tunnel. that was a major milestone. another milestone was the delivery to our project sites. they started rising in the last few weeks. this was still in japan during the last major earthquake. earlier this month, at the annual project management institute scheduling conference, we received the innovation award for are very innovative systems that we use. the cif as well as our control systems. we also recognize how th

attorney benjamin wagner to a conspiracy so complex the feds admit it may be one of the reasons san joaquin county leads foreclosures. >> they agreed that nobody would bid. >> reporter: here is how it worked. instead of competing against each other the group of investors would select just one person to bid allowing them to buy foreclosed properties often for just a penny over asking. and the bidders who didn't play along were muscled out. >> people knew who they were. they sent out the message to other bidders they were not welcome. >> reporter: not welcome into a second private auction where the same house was resold at a higher price. the difference was profit that the group would split. >> they had a formula that they used to divvy up those properties. >> reporter: so why would that generate the might of the u.s. attorney's office? well, because they say bid rigging not only drives down the prices of real estate but it also steals equity from the homeowners trying to weather the storms. >> i think a lot of folks see foreclosure investors as sharks picking off of dead carcasses. that's un

the san joaquin valley was the source of 80% of our nation's vegetables. now those vegetables farms are gone. bankruptcy. we are now importing food from countries that can spray pesticides that are outlawed in this country. fewer jobs, bigger government, bigger -- greater cost of vegetables and less safe food supply. the grey wolf was listed by the fish and wildlife service as endangered and has killed agriculture and mining jobs throughout the west. still, the list goes on and on. so it's not that these are just hypothetical ideas that the war on western jobs is occurring by a government, these are ongoing processes. one group, they have declared they are going to list over 1,000 species this year that they are going to petition for the listing for over 1,000 species this year, understand their lawyers get reimbursed at the rate of $350 to $500 for every lawsuit. every lawsuit provides employment for the lawyers in those groups. know that the taxpayers footing the bill and yet losing jobs in the meantime. i would like to recognize mr. thompson for as much

of health and human services, including san joaquin, and fresno counties. a few years ago, we were down to one pediatrician for the entire county of merced. with the passage of the affordable care act, we were able to include additional funding to help address the mounding professional shortage in already underserved areas. the new teaching health center's graduate education is supposed to be ay to deal with the reality of increasing demands on an already strained health care system. studies have shown the most effective way to attract and retain new doctors is to allow medical students to pleat their residency programs in the communities that are in need. graduating physicians most often practice in the communities where they have completed their residency traping, which is why this program is uniquely important my wife is a perfect case in point. a primary care physician who stayed in our community an practiced for 18 years after she finished the program. without these critical investment the lack of care will most certainly have a costly price on health
