So, if theres any member of the public that would like to speak on item number three, which is the flood mitigation plans and severely impacted neighborhoods city wide, now is the time to come forward. Each member of the public will have two minutes to speak. Thank you. Good morning. Public thank you to the board of supervisors tonight my name is nancy huff. I have a speech written for today. Pretty much the same one i gave in april. The same as the two i gave in 2016 and the three i gave in 2015. Lots of speeches. So many and so little progress. Im angry and frustrated beyond belief that i stand here today making the same speech that i have given time and time again to no avail. Why are we still here three years after the flood of 2014 and less than a year after the flood of january of 2017, where people are still losing their homes and lively hoods and peace of mind . Public Utilities Commission is not here to give their platitudes, they would tell you the issue is Climate Change. I dont deny that Climate Change is a problem. But that is not the reason why we have flooding in our neighborhood. What makes our homes flood year after year . Poor engineering and mismanagement of resources is the cause. Undersized sewers in our neighborhood is the cause. Source lines upstream is the cause. Sewer lines upstream is the cause. Victim blaming and endless studies which lead to no solutions for us is the cause. Im here to ask once again for the city to stand up and do whats right. Continuing to do nothing will be hiding behind the excuse there will always be a bigger storm is shortsighted and shameful. I dont want to be here again making these same pleas for help in 2018, 2020 and 2030. Please. Supervisor ronen thank you for your comments. I want to mention that the puc is not here. Thats my fault. Not the departments fault. I suggested that it was going to be 11 00 and because we called the item out of order, i just want to take responsibility for that. Public of course, understood. Thank you for your time. Supervisor ronen thank you. Next speaker, please. Public good morning again. Hello supervisors. My name is donna marie. With solutions, not sandbags, here we are doing our annual raining season about the same standing issue. It is apparent sandbags are the preferred solution by both puc and city special officials with no long term sustainable solutions. Well, on behalf of my neighbors, i would like to present a shormterm solution for this season because we shortterm solution this season because we live in a dire state. Sandbags will mitigate six feet of sewer water levels that erupt inside homes from restoring our homes again and bringing us back to the same meeting year after year. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you. Next speaker, please. Public good morning. My name is rita. Im with the new mission improvement association. It pains me to see that my neighbors suffer so much from these faulty engineering actions. When interstate 80 was built, my neighbors are suffering from Collateral Damage when the drains for 280 were constructed. And at the end of cuyahoga avenue, that causes the flooding to back up there. At the interchange of 280 and 101 just past the farmers market, it is where san bruno avenue and a step away is bayshore boulevard and it floods under there. Up to a foot of water and entering cars on certain circumstances. It is not safe for the drivers who have to use that roadway either. It seems as caltrans and the federal government who built 280 left a mess. And the mess has been suffered by the residents of san fran. So, i hope San Francisco. It is not fair and appropriate to a city like San Francisco. Supervisor ronen thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Public hi. My name is blaine bachelor. I live in mission terence. I like my neighbors are here again. Same pleas. Same speeches. Same demands, requests, whatever you want to call it for action and nothing. Three years later, what is pucs solutions . To drop off sandbags and tell us this is Climate Change and this is not their problem or their fault. And it is. I am going to read a letter a friend of mine wrote on my behalf to ed lee and harlin kelly. My friend was thrilled to save up enough money with her husband to become firsttime homeowners in our great city. It was heart warming to see her move in and settle and build a home. As a friend, it was heart breaking to watch the 2014 sewer failure destroy the entire lower level of her home and create paper work, costs and financial problems. I have been sad to see her face taxing emotional obstacles. The ongoing negativity has resulted from this situation. She should be feathering her nest and enjoying her family and new baby. Not clearing raw sewage in her home every time it rains. And it started last weekend with another moderate rain backing up the sewage in her neighborhood. I do understand that the cost of repairing such infrastructure have are high. But are high. But it has been three years. That is more than enough time to come to a permanent solution. Im sure you and any other voter will agree this is a responsibility of the city. Given this certain evan yulety, the city will kick the can down the road as opposed to solving the problem. [bell]. Supervisor ronen thank you. Is there any other member of the public that would like to speak . Public supervisors, thank you for brings this to a public hearing. Im david hooper and i have lived in Mission Terrace for over 30 years. This problem isnt just Mission Terrace. It is in district seven and district nine. It is also down at 17th and folsom ajay dent to the new, high adjacent to the highly touted childrens playground. This is fecal matter washing into peoples home. Repeatedly, historically. But it isnt a flooding area. It is 75 feet above ground level. This is what i would like see happen. I would like see the puc encourage to contact david, scott weiner, use their good offices with caltrans and the state of california in order to figure out improved financing for the issue, part of which it appears to me is the responsibility of the state of california. I would like say also that the supervisors who have been affected, their districts that have been affected by this have been responsive individually. Last january, i saw supervisor sheehy the morning after it happened and he was stunned. It isnt going to go away. We use a lot of buzz words politically. We talk about social justice. [bell]. Public they become empty if we allow a situation like this that everything knows about to go unanswered. That particular part of the community is not rolling in money. It is the poor neighbor to glenn park. The traffic there is horrendous and yet it is a community. So, im asking you to hold the puc responsible and to have them address these issues rather than just pass the buck. Supervisor ronen thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Public my name is dennis. Im a native San Francisco i have to say there can be no more finger pointing. Doesnt make any difference who caused this. It needs to be fixed. And there isnt any excuse. It isnt your responsibility or your responsibility or yours to fix it itself. But to take the leadership to force either the city or the city and the state to figure out how these people going through having sewage come back into their home is atrocious. And it happened one time to my brothers place. It was outrageous the amount of filth and crap that came back into his place. And if these people to face it year after year, it is unconscionab unconscionable. I live near irving street and the city is redoing 48 blocks of irving street, most of which doesnt really need to be done. These people need the kind of work that is being done all over the city for future mta transit vision. And in the meantime, these people are suffering. Theres no excuse for it. And i just had to stand up here and urge you to urge whoever the hell it is on the other end of the phone to do something and not make any more excuses. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Is there any other member of the public that would like to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor yee. Sorry about the confusion. Let me just go ahead and make some opening remarks. And i want to thank the public for coming out, continue to come out. I recognize several of the speakers from maple. We held our first hearing on short and longterm solutions and strategies to mitigate the effort of flooding city wide. I had called a hearing in january, last january, due to the heavy rainy season and the Significant Impact on residents and their properties. Specifically, there are three neighbors. Man mango, Ingleside Terrace which is heavy flood impacted areas. City wide flooding also heavily impacts districts eight, nine and 11 as well as the upper great highway area in district four. On the borders of district eight and 11, the specific area, as you already know, is cuyoga avenue and in district nine, alemany, maze and 17th folsom areas are heavily affected areas. Since the first hearing in april, puc has developed and strengthed their strategies to better support residents in an effort to protect their properties. The goal of todays hearing is to have puc present their Capital Projects and strategies to the public so they can learn more, ask questions and be better prepared and supported in the rainy seasons ahead. Since april, i am pleased that puc reported that at least in my district, the improvements to Ingleside Terrace has been completed and that the juice and forester area improvements are currently under construction to be completed next month. However, there are several other neighborhoods including cuyoga in the city that really needs some focused attention. Im going to thank supervisor tang, fewer, safai and ronen for cosponsoring this hearing. Im rooking forward to pucs presentation and i believe it will be informative and support for our residents affected. So, director harlni kelly from puc. Good morning. And thank you supervisors for prioritizing this important issue. Im harlin kelly and im the general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities commission and we are here to follow up about the flooding. At our previous hearing, it was on april 12th of this year, we updated the committee about our Capital Projects, as well as a plan to identify and research a noncapital strategy for residences and businesses to protect their property in large storms. Since then, we have been very busy coordinating with more than a dozen city departments to develop these noncapital strategies. And these meetings were held in the communities impacted by flooding to discuss them. We are very excited to share with you today the results of our work this summer. We have a suite of programs that we have already worked with our sister departments to develop. Last week, we held a press conference with supervisor ronen and several of the departments to announce the expansion of the Grant Program and efforts to protect properties against large rain events. We look forward to continuing the work with you as we prepare to roll out these programs. With that, i would like to turn it over to Stephanie Harrison, our project manager. Thank you. Thank you general manager harlin kelly. My name is Stephanie Harrison and im project manager. We are going to talk today about strategies for Flood Resilience. Last time we presented our Capital Projects and we mentioned that we were going to be investigating some noncapital options for residences and businesses. So, we went to the drawing board with many city departments and we are presenting to you today the findings. So, if i could have the slides please. Perfect. So, this first slide shows three design storms simplified so you can see how flooding grows in larger storms. Especially key areas. These are core flood risk maps and they are preliminary right now. But we have defined core flood risk as deep and contiguous flooding. That means that public it is not flooding. You guys have not the sewers for 60 years. And im sick of it. We are sick of it. Supervisor ronen excuse me. Public sorry. Supervisor ronen please continue. Thank you. So, puc has defined core flood risk and deep and contiguous flooding. That means the puddles that show up on is this map are at least up on this map are at least six inches deep and they span a half block or more. So, it is a neighborhood. Not an issue on a particular parcel. In todays discussion, we will propose how the city will use each of these design storms. We just looked at the core flood risks to show you direct comparison between storms. When puc uses the fiveyear design storm to identify the need for Capital Projects, we use a broader flood risk metric. So, the shows how we do that. We make most effective use of rate payer dollars by prioritizing projects that address high risk. Which is shown in red here. The biggest and most costly projects are concentrated in core flood areas that have a lot of red on the map. And the goal for our Capital Projects is to eliminate the red on this map. Thats what we are doing over the longterm with our capital infrastructure. But in doing so, we also address much of the ajay dent green adjacent green areas. This allows us to initiate construction earliest where the need is the greatest. It means some neighborhoods wont get projects right away because we simply cant do everything immediately. So, we prioritize using flood risk. So, construction of the Collection System began in the 1840s. By the 1940s, the fiveyear storm was designated and since at least the 1950s, standards have been in place to govern new pipe design. In planning for sfip, there was a sewer system program. A comparison of capital cost led th
