citizen advisory committee i would like to thank you for welcoming wendy aragon. as served with wendy on the c.a.c. for nearly five years and found her to be an excellent representative of her direct and our city. she transformed a largely white-male committee into a diverse body that represents and advocates for all san franciscans. she promoted issues including clean power s.u. and improved communications with a southeast facility commission. she also established an annual retreat for our officers and subcommittee chairs to discuss the committee and identify priorities. a practice i hope will continue. she showed respect and courtesy towards her fellow committee members while still returning an effective meet. they will advise commission, staff and city officials about s.f. p.u.c. plans and priorities but the c.a.c. served another important function as a training ground for citizens leaders. this is a role in which she most ex sells and for which i have the greatest respect. sincerely, jennifer clearly, water program manager at clean water action. >> thank you.

my experience with wendy aragon was negative when we overlapped on the c.a.c. we did not get along. it was not a positive experience at all. but i didn't want to dwell on that. i did want to support the new ssip baseline. i think that staff has done a good job of evaluating and re-evaluating all the projects and the complexities and the scope and schedule and budget. i think it's important to keep these projects on schedule and in particular, the new digester and head works projects out at southeast. i think again, together those will have significant improvements to the system to the neighborhood and owe der and to the rate payers to everybody. so i'm a big fan of those two projects in particular. i just wanted highlight the inter departmental project in the book starting at age 37. those projects have a lot of complications with other city agencies in particular, m.t.a. and other agencies as well. i noted for example, that the taraville street project does not indicate, i think did not indicate a schedule delay or separate phasing but i had head that p.u.c. was asking to split tha
