First . Why did this project rise to the top or not is something worth considering. Lastly, you have a lot of knowledge now about what it takes to do Capital Projects in this region and throughout the state, and i think it would be helpful to reflect what youve learned as far as costs and difficulties and all those types of things into what is your projections for your Capital Projects and if theyre in there, its helpful to reference them, and if not, then understand why not. Because for better or for worse, you now have become an agency that does a lot of capital work, and you have quite a bit of experience with that. And i think its important for that to be reflected in the c. I. P. , so we have relayed this study to Steve Ritchie and kathy howe or to dan wade, actually. And i know my staff has been talking to them on this. Im happy to answer any questions you have. Its also been conveyed to the bosca board. Great. Thank you. Commissioners, questions . Comments . Any Public Comment on this . Thank you so much. Thanks. Appreciate it. Next item, please. Item eight is other Commission Business. Commissioners . Public comment on no Commission Business . Next item, please. Clerk item nine, all or its the consend calendar. All matters here under constitute the consent calendar are considered to be routine by the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission and will be acted on by a single vote of the commission. There will be no discussion of the requests unless the item is requested to be removed and it will be considered as a separate item. Is there a request to move any of the items from the commission . Hearing none, is there a motion to approve the consent calendar . Move to approve . Second. Any Public Comment on the consent calendar . All those in favor . Opposed . Motion maycarries, please. Next item, please. [agenda item read]. Is there a is there a motion to approve this item . I move to approve it. Any [inaudible] yes, comments . [inaudible] excuse me. Commissioner, can you please speak into the microphone . I said, could i have a a reexamination of what this actually does to the constitution in terms of the presidency. With ill let our counsel address this. This amends the commissions rules of order to set forth new clear procedures about what happens when there is an unexpected vacancy in the presidency or the vice presidency before the term is up, which is a scenario the commission was presented with earlier this year, and this now sets a procedure whereby making clear that the existing Vice President automatically assumes the seat of the presidency and can sit out the remainder of that term. And since that is, by definition less than one year in that seat, they then are not precluded from serving next serving a full year following having filled the remainder of the previous term. And this is a vote . And we vote on the next item if it works that way . That is not a vote. So the way its written well, so the Vice President would automatically become president , but when the term expires, you would have a process electing your president and Vice President , but the person who stepped in would not be precluded from the presidency. Great. Just wanted to be clear on that. So theres a motion and a second. Are there any Public Comments on this item . All those in favor . Opposed . Motion carries. Next item, please.

Is there a second . Second. Any Public Comment on this item . All those in favor . Motion passes. Next item, please. Clerk item 14, approve direction to staff regarding development of policy for rationing for residential water customers during severe drought. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Do you want to speak briefly to this . Yeah, briefly. As we went through the water supply assessment process for the last several months and for different projects, questions came up about how how much would projects have to ration in the future, particularly if they were very high performing projects where people were using less water. And so we prepared this as a way to get direction to analyze in detail that if people are using, you know, less water than others, you know, how would that be treated in terms of overall rationing levels we might get to in the future. Because of the baydelta plan, water assessments look at us in terms of one level of us having to go to extreme rationing levels, how that would play out. So what weve suggested here is we go through analyzing what we did in the modified assessments is we focused on individual projects, but this would be asking the question more broadly, should there be whole customer classes that we should treat that way when theyre using, for example, whatevers just necessary for maintenance of Public Health and safety, you know, a very low amount or they have the most Efficient Home that they possibly can have . Are those levels, if they would then maybe say, you know, wouldnt have to have any additional restrictions, but if we still needed to reduce the levels of demand throughout our service area, you know, who would be picking up the theoretically the Something Like that on that because theyve already done as much a good job. Its already trying to find out, tested, and see where that follow decision could lead as we go through this whole process. As we go into the urban Water Management planning process next year when were going to have it revisit the Water Management plan, which is our basic demand document and what we call here the retail water shortage allocation plan, which is the rules by which the commission would look at shortage in the future and we have that Water Management plan. So were just looking for some concurrence that we should dig into that issue in depth and you know come back to this commission with an answer of what that looks like. So this resolution is giving you direction to research this and come back with a proposed policy that we would then consider . Yes. Correct . Okay. Just to be clear on that. And are there elements in this guidance that are new or is this pretty much what we do every time . Well, weve tried to do things like this, but theyve been done different ways. There was no, say, statement of 50 people were at the health and safety level and were not going to ask them to do more, or if theyve got the most Efficient Home possible, that were going to ask them to do more. Were going to try to tease that out, how that can play out, as oppose to doing it on the fly as we might do at some point. And im not sure exactly what the best way to ask the question, but we just got through a bunch of water supply assessments, and those were the result of, as you said, individual project analysis as opposed to applying a general policy. Right. If and this may not be answerable, but ill ask it any way. If if there was a policy that had the elements that were directing you to look at, is there any conflict between that and what we just got through doing on the Water Supplies . I dont think theres any conflict in that because those projects were ones that were particularly folks that were going to have all new water use water efficient fixtures and theyre going to have nonpotable water recycled there, so their use is going to belower than the most efficient be lower than the most efficient uses because youre taking that off the table, so i dont see a conflict with that. Okay. And when do you anticipate this coming back to us . Well, were going to be looking at the schedule for the whole urban Water Management plan, so where it fits into that yeah, where it fits into that. Being on. Great. Is there a motion to approve this direction . Motion to approve. Second. Any Public Comments . All those in favor . Opposed . Thank you very much. The motion carries. Next item, please. Clerk i will read the closed session items prior to Public Comment. Item 17 is existing litigation pacific gas and electric company.

All those in announcements for all closed hi, everybody. Good morning and thank you for being here. Thank you to the foundation for hosting us and i am pleased to be joined here with a number of our leaders including my partner in these initiatives, supervisor mandelman as well as our new district attorney. And members of the task force. I just want to thank all the members of the task force who participated in this process. I think supervisor mandelman and i had a conversation when he and i talked about this task force and what he wanted to do with it , and he said specifically to me, i dont want to do a task force that does a report that just sits on the shelf and that is really what i am excited about. And implementing the task force this force this year, we have recommendations that we are not only working to implement, but we are going to see hopefully real results as a result of the amazing work that the task force has done. We know that in San Francisco we have a serious problem with meth use. In 2018, over 126 people died of a meth overdose and the number of Overdose Deaths from meth rose over 500 in the last 10 years. Meth use is a Public Health and a Public Safety issue in our city. We know that meth is not only providing Substance Use challenges in San Francisco, but we need to make sure that we have a citywide approach to address the combined challenges of Substance Use, Mental Illness , and homelessness in particular. And that is why, along with the department of department health, we announced a comprehensive plan for those who are most in need of Mental Healthcare and Substance Use treatment entitled urgent care s. F. With this, we include building a new system of care coordination, outreach, and lower Barrier Services, and Harm Reduction designed to meet the specific needs of the 4,000 people who we know our dual diagnosed. Several of the Meth Task Force recommendations are prioritized and urgent care s. F. In february this year, we combined this task force under the leadership of supervisor mandelman with three goals in mind. To decrease health risks for people under the influence of meth, to identify best practices for treatment and service options, and to reduce the negative medical and social impacts of matthews for all san franciscans. Over the past six months, the task force has met to understand the specific challenges that meth presents for our city and to develop recommendations that would help address this issue. And the report issued today details the findings as well as 17 recommendations. Several of the recommendations go handinhand with our goals around urgent care s. F. , which include creating a meth Sobering Center, strengthening our Mental Health and Substance Use crisis response, increasing the availability of safe indoor spaces such as dropin centers, shelters, and Navigation Centers , expanding Case Management and Wraparound Services, and expanding availability of treatment beds at multiple levels. Some of these recommendations, its meth Sobering Centers, are new efforts and we are working to implement those well several build upon the work that is already underway. By creating a trauma informed sobering sight for people who are under the influence of meth, we will have a place where people can go or can be taken td where staff will be responsibly trained to help them. In addition to creating a safe place for people to sober up, the center will be a place where we can connect those individuals to services. The department of Public Health is currently exploring locations for the center and our plan is to have at least one of these centers open within the next three to six months. We have already taken action on a few of the recommendations that were mentioned are earlier. In september we announced a partnership with Tipping Point community to open up another 14 hummingbird psychiatric west respite beds. We also announced a plan to expand the hours of the Behavioral Health access center, to increase the availability of safe indoor spaces and help those who need it get connected to care. We are also making progress on adding another 1,000 beds to our Behavioral Health treatment system. We have already funded 212 beds in the last year across the continuum of Harm Reduction treatment and recovery services. The issue of meth use also connects with our efforts on expanding conservatorship in San Francisco because the new conservatorship allows us to extend the benefit of care to treatment, to people with Mental Illness and Substance Use disorder. We know that among people with at least psychiatric hold halls, nearly nine in the 10 are users of meth. And as we work to implement a successful conservatorship program, it is important we understand the overlap between matthews and eligibility for conservatorship. We are making progress and we know that progress is not moving fast enough, but we need to be responsible in how we coordinate the right systems so it actually delivers the results we need to have an impact on what we see out on the streets every single day. It is one of the reasons why i hired the first ever Mental Health reform director this year to really analyse the system, to find out what the challenges are , and to work on solutions. Theres not one solution that is going to get us to a place where we need, but we see the problem, we understand the challenges, we understand the data. The data is going to help to inform the decisions that we make so that we can get real results. We are making progress and one of the recommendations of the task force was to strengthen our Mental Health and Substance Use crisis response. Under urgent care s. F. , we will add more Behavioral Health resources to accompany police oncall through our 311 system so that our Police Department is working handinhand with one of our Street Medicine Team workers so we can again provide people with care and get them into one of our Sobering Centers if necessary. We will take acti
