The acting mayor and will assume that responsibility and our City Attorney can provide further details as to what will happen in the months to come. Thank you, ma dad mayor. I would first like to echo the sentiments and the condolences of mayor breed and dr. Ehrluches and the entire community about the profound sense of loss that all of us feel on the passing of mayor lee and id like to offer my condolences spufically to his wife and family and just to let them all know that i hope i know that the entire city family will be there for them as they go through this difficult time. You heard dr. Ehrlich talk about mayor lee passing at 1 11 this morning. Under charter section 13. 101. 5b, at that time board president london breed assumed the duties of acting mayor. She has all the powers and responsibilities that come with the office. And she will have all of those duties until such time as the board of supervisors votes on a successor, should they choose to do so. Although they are not required to do so. In any event, there will be an election june 5, 2018 where the next mayor will be chosen to fulfill the unexpired term of mayor lee and that term will end on january 8. 2020. That is a very broad overview of where we are now. Mayor breed has all the powers and responsibilities and duties of acting mayor. By virtue of her position as board president. And what occurs over the course of the next several months will be derped by what actions, if any, the board of supervisors chooses to take. With that, id be happy to take any questions that anybody has about the process. Reporter [inaudible] will the board of supervisors voting on this matter today . No, they will not be. Reporter what was the question . Will the board of supervisors be voting on this matter today and the answer is no. Reporter is there a timeframe for the board to vote on an interim mayor . The board does not have to talk any action and there is not a timeline. And for that entire period of time, should they choose not to take any action, mayor breed will be both the acting mayor and the president of the board of supervisors. She has her position as acting mayor by virtue of her position as president of the board. Reporter so, just to clarify, there will be no additional [inaudible] appointed . There will not be. Mayor breed has both positions. She still continues to have her board of supervisors position and president of the board and she is the acting mayor. Yes. I have a question. In june of 2018, when does the new candidate have to have their filings for the election . Yes. That that is something that obviously has not been top on our list. But that is something that were examining, filing deadlines. Weve been focusing on making sure that we had a smooth transition to ensure that there was a continuity in city government. Reporter so theres nothing in the charter that indicates that at all . Ive given my answer. Any other questions for mayor breed . Reporter as acting mayor, do you have any plans for the [inaudible]. [inaudible]. Our City Attorney has already made that clear for now. I am currently still the supervisor of district five as well as the acting mayor until at such time the board decides if they would like to make a decision to select someone to fill the term until the next election. One more question. Reporter can you talk about personally what he meant to you. Anything you can learn from him . The biggest legacy for the city will be . I worked with and have known mayor ed lee for over 20 years and what i appreciate about the mayor is his commitment to Public Housing mostly because when i became a member of the board of supervisors, i made it clear that was he asked my top three priorities and i said Public Housing, Public Housing, Public Housing. As someone who grew up here and spent most my life there, mayor lee, very similar situation, we bonded over that. And looking at robert pitts and looking at it going from this place that was completely falling apart to just painted walls and new fixtures and how beautiful it looks and the fact that he really was stead do you on helping to make this happen is really what i will always remember about him. His commitment to tune out the noise and focus on trying to get the job done and i really will always appreciate him for taking my praourty seriously and helping to get that work done. He was a dedicated and committed Public Servant and i will never forgot him for that. Thank you, tara. Thank you, everybody. That concludes the press conference. Good afternoon, everyone. A call to order of the meeting of the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission for today, tuesday, december 12. Madame secretary, roll, please . [roll call] and we have a quorum. So, before we get started, today is actually a very sad day for the city and county of San Francisco and in honor of our late mayor, ed lee, id like to ask everyone to stand if we can observe a moment of silence in his honor. Thank you. Before we enter Public Comment, i wanted to send my condolences to many of you, especially harlan, i know you were close with mayor lee. If there is any day to wish for fake news, this was it. I think were all very stunned. So, i want to announce closed session items 25 to 31 will not be heard today. As were going to approve the minutes of november 14. Can i have a motion to approve those minutes . So vote. Second. Any discussion . Any Public Comment related to the minutes of november 14 . All in favor, do approve . Aye. Opposed . Ok. Approved. Id like to call forward Public Comment and i have two gentlemen here. First is peter jakemier for Public Comment. Good afternoon. First im really sorry about mayor lees untimely death. A real tragedy for the city. In reading the sfpucs week in review that ended on december 1, a couple of things jumped out at me. First was conditions at the reservoir. There were two significant storms this season. Approximately 32,000 acre feet of water available to the city. 4 of our annual average accumulation. So, that would mean the average annual accumulation is 815,000acre feet. Ill come back to that. Second was an item economic value of water in u. S. Metropolitan areas. And this is a study done by the Bay Area CouncilEconomic Institute. And this is the analysis builds on the Bay Area CouncilEconomic Institute report. The impacts have reduced the bay area water supply prepared in response to the Water Quality control plan. I looked that up and awas kind of shocked by the poor analysis that says the Bay Area CouncilEconomic Institute looked at the impacts of 30, 40 and 50 unimpaired flow requirement on the river would have on bay area water users under the 175 million gallon per day scenario. The draft s. E. D. Could lead to water supply shortfalls during dry years. Regional Water Supplies would be reduced to as low as 67 million gallons for day from 175 million gallons per day during dry year such as 1991, 1992. Im assuming they misquoted the sfpuc. Seasonerly you want to look into that. May made the same mistake that the bradle group has done, which is based rationing on demand versus supply. For example, if you make 265 a day and you only spend 175 a day, you put 90 in the bank. If you get a pay cut of 90 a day, that comes from your 265, not from your 175. So back to the sfpuc water available. It was 815,000 acre feet per year. 175 million gallons per day is the equivalent of 196,000 acre feet. 67 million gallons per day is the equivalent of 75,000 acre feet. So, the 67m. G. D. Figure they used, in storage, in the sfpuc has enough water in storage to last 16 years at 67 m. G. D. So that is a hard core design drought that theyre apparently planning for and in the march report they basically said the method used to estimate impact was [bell ringing] 2014 report which we commented on and found a lot of reports aen are disappointed that that didnt get changed. Thank you. Thank you. Next item, mr. Dave warner. Good afternoon. I came up here on cal train and we stopped between station for a minute at 12 00 noon to pay our respects to mayor lee. So im dave warner. Im concerned about the delta bay ecosystem. One of the many great things ed lee was known for was unification. What a great quality that is and dont we wish we had more of that in washington. So, one place where San Francisco has a lot of unification is in environmental issues. And 70 of San Franciscoians voted to protect themselvess to protect the bay dell tafm im sure you heard of this before. But it is an astounding number. Three out of four people voted if favor of taxing themselves for environmental issues. My point is, then you know the sfpuc opposes the state water boards plan. And you know the sfpuc has taken a minority view amongst scientists that the ecosystem can be protected by nonflow measures. And you know the sfpuc has been posing what i would say a false tradeoff thats either the water or the economy thats at stake. And to me there are many, many more options than that. So, my point is a request is id really ask you to ask the hard questions of your staff. Dont accept either or answers. Have rigorous debate that you fully understand the implication and judge whether or not it reflects the will of the people and it is also important to ask what is the will of the people . Sure they want water, but that answer is probably too simple. I go to my conclusion, which is my understanding is that for having a water supply, we are second to none and that is a really nice accomplish. Ment. But that is maybe only half the job. When 85 of our water comes from severely damaged ecosystem. So, that is the reasons that they ask these hard questions in our meeting of the will of the people. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public who wish to comment on items not on todays agenda . Ok. Next item, please. Item five is communications. Sorry. Communications. Communications . Yes. So you or me i dont have any questions. Any comments . No. Ok. Any Public Comment on communications . All right. Next agenda item. Item six is other commission business. Commissioners . Ok. Is there any Public Comment . All right then. Item seven is report of the general manager. All right. Thank you. Yeah, commissioners. This has definitely been a hard day for me. Ive been friends personal friends with the mayor ed lee for over 20 years. I worked with him when he was h. R. C. Director. I worked with him when he was the city purchaser. I worked for him when he was the director of public works and i worked with him when he was city administrator. He is very collateralize to the family. In fact, he was a groomsman in my wedding and so when i received the call, i was definitely in disbelief. I arrived shortly after his passing at the hospital and, you know, i helped the family out as best i could. And naomi is, you know, working with the family to figure out what their wishes are. It has been a rough year for me we some other folks passing away, including my mom in february. Needless to say i cant wait until this year is over. [chuckling] but other than that, lets talk about government and the government must continue and so the one thing i want to first topic is clean power s. F. , barbara hill. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. I have quick updates on three clean power s. F. Topics, enrollment and service, contracting for our growth, and our legislative and regulatory activities. Our enrollment continues to go smoothly. We have successfully we are a successfully serving about 80,000 Customer Service sites today. Our opt out percentage is 3. 2 , so super low and our upgrade rate continues to exceed our optout ray. Its 4 for our customers now. That is a snapshot on who were serving today. Looking ahead are our next small enrollment will be january 2018. Were notifying customers now. Less than 1 of those customers who are receiving notice now have decided to opt out. We have 120 customers on the wait list now for our next enrollment in the spring. 56 of those customers are asking for super green service. So, if you are listening and want to enroll, go to cleanpowersf. Org enroll to be included in our next enrollment. In terms of our growth plans, we are contracting both for supply and for the bank credit facility. For suspect mraou, were testifily negotiating our final contracts with the short listed counterparties. Those contracts are for both new and existing Renewable Power and the energy to firm and shape it. And for our bank credit facility, the finance team is working to finalize the contract terms with j. P. Morgan for our bank credit facility. We will bring recommendations to the commission on both of those contracting efforts for a vote early in the new year. On legislative activities, consistent with your vote on november 14, i believe it was, an ordinance was introduced at the board requesting the board of supervisors provide a limited, delegated authority to the p. U. C. To enter into supply contracts to support completion of our program. The delegated authority would include annual expenditure limits and conditions that the Commission Imposed on the general manager. The item is scheduled to be heard this week tomorrow, i believe at a special meeting of the budget and finance committee so well be presenting there in support of that item. And regulatory activities. I just wanted to mention that our annual usual adjust tonight the exit fee, the pcia, will be delayed this year so there wont be a new pcia on january 1. It will be delayed for at least 30 days. The california Public Utilities commission has not provided a proposed decision on that. In time for it to be implemented january 1. So, we expect there will be a proposed decision issued soon. And that there would be a new pcia some time probably in january. So that was kind of an interesting wrinkle to the pcua issues. With that, im happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. May i ask a question . What was the reason for the postponement for pcia . So, we havent we were keeping an eye out for the proposed decision and none has been issued. We havent heard i havent heard an explanation. Pg e sent a letter to the commission saying since we havent heard anything, we wont be proposing new rates for the first of the year. And so we are assuming everything is delayed. The california p. U. C. Will have their last Commission Meeting on this year of december 14. Any action would require a proposed decision to be published for comment, has to stay in the Public Domain for 30 days and cant be acted on in that period. So we know were at least 30 days away from any action. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners, any other questionss . Any Public Comment on this item . Next item, please. Next item is a quarterly audit and performance review. Nancy hall. Good afternoon, president and commissioners. My name is nancy hall, dpty chief interim deputy chief chief financial officer. Im here to the review report for fiscal year 1718. It highlights all oversight projects at the p. U. C. And provides a yeartoday summary, sixmonth outlook and update of open audits and recommendations. The agency finished First Quarter with 28 projects in total. Of this figure, five were completed and 17 were in progress. Six financial audits began in q1 and they include the annual audit Financial Statements, the comprehensive annual Financial Report and the popular annual Financial Report. In this same quarter, five were completed, listed here by report issue and state. These include the Community Benefits 1b evaluation framework and the annual inventory count for prior fiscal year 1617 for waste water and power and also a compliance monitoring audit by the western electricity coordinating council. The audit highlights for this quarter is the and physical inventory counts performed by Financial Services who over sees the inventory audits of the main warehouses located in mulbray, moccasin, the southeast Treatment Plant and for awsf. A full count is conducted for each enterprise one every three years. For this count, h we adjust for any unidentified exceptions. The recommendations by the audit firm mglop, recommended that the sfpuc conduct accuracy and policy awareness counts to revise fuel inventory procedures for a morse reliable system of reporting, to establish policy to document causes of variances over a certain threshhold and then to also create a tracking list for items that are temporarily relocated. Management did concur with all recommendations, partially or fully. In quarter two, ending december 31 this year, well expect to complete the financial audits previously mentioned in this presentation. And as well as complete performance audits, inclusive of a state grant audit for prop 84 for ground water storage and recovery and our department is also participating in two citywide audits for citywide payroll and another one for citywide fleet management. Upcoming audits include the p. G. Interconnection cost review performed internally at the sfpuc. At our last discussion t commission requested more detailed reporting that would provide more information regarding open audits and recommendations. As a start, we included an expanded summary of all audits within the quarterly audit report and that is also here for you. The staff will continue to improve this reporting and by quarter two next quarter, we hope to report extended audits. We currently have 72 open audit recommendations, of which a majority are from the waste water divisional ordinance from the previous quarter and confidential audits as well. The p. U. C. Last quarter close 10ed audit recommendation
