>> the wholesale can ustomers we sell to the water districts. that's where we hit them and and their obligation to go to their can ustomers. we are working with an add campaign to get to the can ustomers regard lers -- regardless of the area they are in. >> rain baerls? -- barrels? >> yes. we need to have that element come into place. that's something we have funded over time. >> as an incentive program for people to put in place before? >> yes. in time for next winter so when there is some precipitation capture it and use it. >> thanks commissioner. commissioner walt? >> thank you. the first is the 10 percent goal applicable to san francisco also applicable to is it the same goal for all the users? >> yes. the 10 percent goal is system wide. it's the reduction in our overall demand. >> and the second question is what is the rational for the 10 percent. is the notion that if everybody, if we reduce it by 10 percent we'll have saved enough water if we have another year of drought or what? >> we actually are motion tion modeling -- 3 years into fu

on may 7, we encourage the sales can ustomers to respect the recommends 5th proclamation. we have two communications campaigns getting ready to role out m june and july and in san francisco for newspaper and billboards and muni buses, cable tv on how to reduce for every individual and recently working with the staff on regional media to put together for their campaign an immediate purchase program to get to a lot of television stations in the bay area. we have drought relief projects under way. i mentioned the aqueduct and emergency rehabilitation process to address the supply and the water treatment plant which is why the sant san antonio treatment plan and reliably treat that supply. the state water resources control board is very active now. they issue curtailment notices in the last 2 weeks. curtailment means you can't divert anymore water for use or storage. the curtailment report for previously hold water and talking about drafts in the next couple of days that we might consider next week. we are watching that closely to see what will happen because we are concerned

most of our water can ustomers are not in san francisco. in fact we have a water supply agreement with can ustomers that define our relationship and they make-up two-thirds of our water sales. we deliver 220 million gallons of water per day from hetch hetchy. water leaving hetch hetchy travels to one of our reservoirs. it's a high quality water source. we do not filter the water. we just disinfect it. we have from the environmental protection agency and public health. we have 1 billion kilowatt hours each year on average. our sewer system is a combined sewer system. we take in both our storm water and our sanitary sewage into same system. we are only two cities in the state of california that has a combined system and the other is in sacramento. you will find most of the older cities in the united states has a combined sewer system. new york, philadelphia and others, chicago. we do have a system that's own 100 years old. the city has been around since the gold rush. we have about 1,000 miles in the city. what are our core priorities: there

throughout the past 40 years i provided goods and services, wine to my neighbors and can ustomers in the marina. i believe that i have become part of the president bashar al-assad -- fabric of that community and is survived for that amount of time. i think that my store is part of what makes chestnut street and the rest of the marina such a charming place to live and to shop. i do believe that my business would suffer if wallgreens was granted a liquor license. they are on the same block as i am on chestnut between pearson and steiner. and their storefront door is 75 feet from my storefront door. so it's direct direct competition. as i mentioned, the national corporate chain such as wall combreens -- wallgreens has enormous buying power and they can negotiate prices well beyond my reach. i currently have eight people on my staff not counting myself and it would be devastating to see my business decline to the point that i would have the cut back hours or lay people off. it would be a shame to lose the unique shops on chestnut streets to corporate formula stores that we find everywher

wanted to make a commitment of the $5 million that $3 million be earmarked or prioritized for cca can ustomers if we are able to launch a cca. that was a caveat. the other last piece is they wanted to have a commitment from the mayor's office to have a hearing this month. we are planning for the end of june meeting to talk about marin and sonoma cca and work closely with supervisors on the details of that hearing. that is where we are now. is there anything i missed? and so, the board of directors had a conversation to ensure nothing got lost in translation. we are going to present that tomorrow. >> are you shaking out there? [ laughter ] >> great. thank you, i know there was some new news out of alameda county where the the board of supervisors approved $1.3 million to set up their joint power authority to pursue cca. i think it's going to be very interesting to look at these other efforts and see what we can learn as far as best practices go. i don't know if it's going to be too soon at that meeting to have a draft outline of what a program could look like, something that the mayor's office

lastly, can ustomer service. we like to say we have 880,000 bosses because so many people in san francisco really rely on and use and need our parks. we have a responsibility to make sure that we are doing all we can, not just to be efficient, but also to make sure to interfacing with our park system for the average park user is as easy as it can be. one of our biggest challenges is actually filling the vacancies that we have. we are short staffed. we have been short staffed for many years and we can ill afford to not have the human resources to fill this capacity. you see a little bit of hr support in this column in terms of how we balance the budget and you see another big investment in technology. we need to kind of keep track with a variety of system of up grades for program registration and for interfacing with our parks in a variety of ways. i think these slides actually just get into a little bit more detail about our investments under park safety. in this particular budget, we have asked for two additiona

right on the right hand side is a screen shot of the web portal where individual can ustomers can look at their water use on a daily basis. there is a green bar across the middle, that green bar what is relatively efficient use. if you are above, you have a lot of work to do, if you are below, you can see your points too. people are paying attention to it. we've been giving out lots of checklist for water efficiency you can walk around your house and say, am i doing the right thing. if you are not, get to it. lots of posters and stickers and lots of public information. we have a public information campaign coming in june. in response to the drought, we've had walk in request for devices for 90 percent, evaluations up for 25 percent, we'll be increasing our rebate amounts for toilets and portable washers and the campaign in june for indoor and outdoor announcements and we want to get on the press and muni buses. when you talk about it, people respond. i'm happy to answer more questions on this program before i turn it over to mark. >> environment, commission, colleagues? >> commissioner

authorities have been asking bankers how much they charge ustomers to exchange currency. >> and the fightingaq continues. local police say they have taken back control of the country's biggest oil refinery. it has been seized by extremists on wednesday. >> ryan chilcote joins us far look at the latest.coms in the country. what are we seeing? >> look at the market first. oil generally up since tuesday . tuesday morning. yesterday oil closed at a nine-month high. some of what is going nonis in beijing. it is now under the government's control. now maybe there is a truce in place and they are evacuating people from there. very important for iraqis. it is responsible for 40% of their refining. 300,000 barrels a day. not just for the north of the country but also for baghdad. that is one of the friction points, if you will. the oil fields themselves remain very safe. 3/4 of the output comes from the south. we have b.p. and exxon beginning to pull some of their people out of the country. having said that, there has been absolutely no change to the physical supply of oil, the oil over picture out o
