Front, one of the things that i here that might keep dropping is the [inaudible] okay. That covers my question. Its we pick up bits and pieces from newspaper reports, and we obviously have our own briefings, as far as our litigation strategies, and all, but its hard to see it come together in some way, and thats hard for us, and i would expect its especially harder for the public to see this at one time. I appreciate this, and i hope we can continue to do this on a regular basis and treat it as we do c. C. A. And other continues areas continuing areas of interest and concern. Thank you very much. Youre welcome. Thank you. Any Public Comment . Thank you, president caen and commissioners. Judd holtzman, 350 bay area. I just want to say that we support their push, among other things. Just as a reminder, if this proposal were to go forward, then the pcia charge which we were discussing earlier would not be an issue nor would any number of cpuc proceedings and rulemakings which are maddening to even keep track of, much less participate in. From our perspective, i want to really thank miss hale for her comment on governance. It sounds interesting but given the sfpucs experience in running hetch hetchy, we would not want to see a downgrade in participation and governance as a result of this bankruptcy. And you know would not want to see a slippage in our clean energy or climate targets, and theres no reason to think that we would. I do want to lastly just kind of restate what i said in the earlier item, with the mayor, the board of supervisors, and this commission all pulling in the same direction for i think the first time in the last 20 years that ive lived here on this issue, i am baffled that our governor is popping off with comments to huge media speculation, that maybe this Energy System that tried to poke its way into our system, maybe they should take over. Thats shocking to see as a long time resident of this city. And you know i know its complicated for the city toic at thation positions for the city to take positions. So im not sure how our staffers work for the city, but i would assume that we have a pretty substantial presence in the capitol, and i would really hope that the citys very clear wishes and desires on this matter could be made clear to the governor and to relevant staffers in his office so that i guess at the very least they might avoid taking steps or comments that would preclude our possibilities moving forward. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . So one item thats not listed, we wanted to give you an update on was Treasure Island. Barbara, you want to give an update on Treasure Island . As you know, Treasure Island, the utilities there is owned by tida, which is the Treasure IslandDevelopment Authority, and we are have an m. O. U. To operate it, and so we cant invest any rate payer dollars, so its been quite challenging to operate it when theres very little money going into maintaining it because at the same time, theyre hoping the developer put in new infrastructure. So at Treasure Island, they experience a lot of power outages, and i want barbara to come up and tell you sort of what we went through and how we were able to get everyone back on power. Thank you. Barbara hale, assistant general manager for power. So we had an outage that was first reported wednesday afternoon. The outage was it was clear that both Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island were out of electricity, so crews went out to troubleshoot and figure out what was going on. The troubleshooting, it became clear that both islands were out, and the troubleshooting focused on the oakland side of the infrastructure. So just to remind you, Treasure Island has received electric service via an underwater cable that starts in on the oakland side right underneath right near the footing of the bay bridge. The connection upstream of that is to a substation thats owned and operated by the port of oakland. And then that substation is interconnected upstream with pg e facilities. So when when oaboth islands were out and we conducted initial troubleshooting, we realized the problem was on the oakland side, and we followed a protocol to working with Treasure IslandDevelopment Authority to transfer the island to generator power, both refresh island and Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. We have a protocol where power will be out longer than six hours. And the protocol is we go to generators. Troubleshooting and repairs continued. The equipment needed to complete repairs was procured. We whi we while were on generators, however, had a problem with fuel. The city fuel vendor could not commit to deliver additional fuels on time to avoid another outage, so we made the call to shutdown the Treasure Island generator not the yerba buena generator, but the Treasure Island generator from midnight just to conserve the fuels. Then, we got on a fuel schedule, and we thought we were in good shape. Not so much, it turns out. The generator on yerba buena isla generator on Treasure Island failed. We were able to switch the customers on Treasure Island to the yerba buena generator. We were able to identify some critical customers, in particular, the job corps dormitories, so we connected an independent generator to their building to get them power during the outage. Meanwhile, we called for additional assistance from hetchy and modesto irrigation district to help with the repairs. So i just want to give a shout out to hetchy and modesto irrigation district and c. D. D. All of whom helped us to get the power back. Ultimately, the power was restored on sunday afternoon. The generator repairs continue. Theyre in progress. We need to make sure we have that back up generator repaired, as well. Ultimately, the cause was a dig in on an underground cable. One of the cables that go from the port of oakland substation to the foot of the bay bridge appears to have been dug into at some point and then covered up and asphalted over and ultimately failed. So we you can imagine the the effort it takes to identify where in particular the outage is under those circumstances, so it took a bit of time to identify the specific location and to commence the work, but we we were successful in getting power back up. We will have an afterincident conversation internally to the p. U. C. To see what went right and what went wrong and how we can improve on our performance under these kinds of circumstances and with the city of division of Emergency Management and with the Treasure IslandDevelopment Authority to make sure we work well as a team when circumstances, incidents like this occur. Given the state of infrastructure on Treasure Island, im pretty confident that circumstances like this will recur, so we need to take the time to see what kind of lessons we can learn from this experience to upgrade the performance, and with that, im happy to take any questions that you may have. Thank you. So what, then, are the protocols or are their new protocols are there new protocols in place, like, when any digging is happening around any sensitive areas that an inspection is done or something has to be done before you cover up . Is there any protocol in place for that . Yes, they were, and none of them were observed, apparently. So things were in place, they just were not observed. Yes. And this is a little bit of a different circumstance for us. Were used to dealing with the permits within the city, and this is you know, now were talking about permits that are issued by oakland and potentially the port to the extent that some of this happened on port property. Our port. No, im sorry. I should be clear. The port of oakland. Thank you for that. So we were you know, one of the things that we need to talk about as a city sort of now that powers been restored is what sort of investigative efforts should happen to address the parties at fault identify and get redress from the parties at fault. But typically, when anyone digs, they call u. S. A. , underground service alert, so they can be there when you dig it up. And typically, when you dig, thats what would happen. I dont know what happened because were not the owner of that line and were not called in to mark it, right . Ill have to doublecheck whether that was port of oakland line or our line. But now that we are dealing with this because tida now, we have taken over the responsibility well, we have taken responsibility for operation and maintenance and keeping the lights on, but we dont have authority we dont own the facilities, we dont have the Capital Planning and budgeting responsibilities. We can make proposals to tida to the Treasure IslandDevelopment Authority and hope that they will agree that that the approach were taking is right and that theyll fund it. They set the rates. The Treasure IslandDevelopment Authority sets the rates and levels the service for the customers there. And that is for the current one, but when the new development happens, they those will be our customers, right . Right. One the islands are both redeveloped, the infrastructure will be handed over to the city power, water, sewer will be handed over to the city and those cust they will be treated just like the hetchy customers. But in the interim, weve got some issues to deal with because that may be a while. Correct. So quick decision i mean, decision, quick question. And it sounds like you guys just did a wonderful job getting in there and troubleshooting and everything, and there were a lot of decisions to make. I know that pg e, you know, when they were starting to do the shutdowns or whatever, ultimately, as a p. R. Piece, the c. E. O. Was just taking the heat himself and saying im making the decision, were going to shutdown here at this time and shutdown here at this time. Just curious from a Department Point of view, who made the decision to say, from 12 00 to 5 00 at night, this is the best decision. Who made that decision . Is that a Team Decision . Thats a Team Decision. As the folks closest to the ground knowing what the capablity of the generators are, what the fuel spend rate is, we came to tida, department of Emergency Management, we had a consult call to say heres the circumstances, heres the recommendation. But i just want to make it clear, it wasnt a decision to turn it off. We were running out of fuel, so the question is when is the best time to shut it off . Right. So now, are there underground fuel tanks . Are we looking into that . What because as you mentioned, it will happen again. Yeah. So absolutely, as part of the afterincident report, well identify things like that. Whats the sufficiency of generators to help us with the issue . Whats the sufficiency of the transport of fuel . It wasnt that there wasnt fuel available, it was there wasnt a truck to bring the fuel to the generator. And it turns out, in all of the city departments, there is not a tanker truck apparently. The department of Emergency Management already identified that as a deficiency, and they have made a request a grant request to purchase one for the city, you know, so steps like that thats a problem that apparently hadnt been identified in the past and steps are being made to cure it . And the question is, is there anything we should be doing to help make that happen faster . Yeah. If something happens to the bridge, then that doesnt matter. So it seems to me some underground storage also something to consider, yes. Thank you. Public comment . Oh, thank you. Is there any Public Comment . That was quite an ordeal. Yeah, it was, it was. Im sitting here thinking, can we reverse the m. O. U. . Yeah. I just feel very i feel sad for the residents out there. I mean with all the construction and the ageing of the structure and just the commitment to not keep it up to repair, they keep experiencing this problem. So thats the end of my short report, so thank you very much. Quite a report. Yeah. Okay. Madam secretary, the consent calendar. Clerk item 8 is other new business. Oh, thank you. New business . None. Clerk item 9 is the c consent calendar. All matters consisted here in are considered to be routine and will be acted on by a single vote of the commission. There will be no consideration unless a public or commissioner request, in which case the matter will be removed and considered as a separate item. Okay. Commissioners, removal of any item . Okay. Public, request for removal . May i have a motion . Ill second. All those in favor . Opposed . The motion carries. Next item. Item 10, approve the selection of cdm smith, incorporated for an amount not to exceed 15 million with a duration of six years. Good afternoon, commissioners, kathy how, assistant manager of infrastructure. Were asking for a staff recommendations for you to approve staff recommendation of a contract with cdm smith subject to board of supervisors approval. This is an old treatment plant. Were also building a substation as part of this project, and so cdm smith also has aecom has a major sub under this particular contract. Any comments . To the public, any Public Comment . May i have a motion . Ill move it. Second. All those in favor . Opposed . The motion carries. Next item. Clerk and i will read items 10 and 11 together im sorry, items 11 and 12. Item 11, authorize the general manager to authorize an installment Sale Agreement to secure a state resolving loan in an amount not to exceed 132 million with a principal for givenessme giveness amount not to exceed 48 million. [agenda item read]. Good afternoon. Richard morales, manager at the p. U. C. Today, youre being asked to consider two separate items to provide low cost state Revolving Loan funding for the Wastewater EnterprisesCapital Spending program. Although the s. R. O. Loan programs youre being asked to consider are almost identical, they are two separate items, and they cover two actions, so theyll be presented as two separate items. Quickly, the presentation will provide a brief background of the p. U. C. S involvement with the state Revolving Fund loan program. Ill also describe the two proposed loans under consideration today and finally, ill summarize the requested actions. So p. U. C. s involvement in the state Revolving Fund or s. F. R. Program dates back 20plus years when we executed 30plus loans totaling over 280 million. However, those loans did not provide some advantage to us. Recognizing this is an issue for the sfpuc as well as other borrowers inful california, t state revamped the s. R. F. Program to reflect more advantages for borrowers. For example, the Interest Rate terms were made more favorable by having the rate set by the state on one of the states most recent general Obligation Bond issue, which is generally a low Interest Rate. So in 2013, they paid off the old loans, and then in 2015, we received permission to obtain new loans under the new s. R. F. Program. Since then, weve executed four ssip projects totaling 94. 6 million and a 186 million loan. I should mention that this includes principal forgiveness. Whats that . Well, the loan is 186 million, but we only need to payback 171 million of that. When comparing the s. R. F. Loans executed to date versus revenue bond financing, we saved the rate payers a combined estimated 168 million over the life of these loans, so these truly are lowcost loans longterm loans. So today, youre being asked to consider the approval of two s. R. F. Loans, both for ssip projects. The two is a loan for the biosolids plant project. You may recall back in july 2018, the p. U. C. Executed a loan in the amount of 699 million for the biosolids project. This s. R. F. Loan will pair with that for approximately 65 of the 1. 6 billion project. The other is a 54. 3 million for the o. S. P. Digester gas utilization upgrade project. This will fund 100 of the o. S. P. Project cost. In terms of the loan, each will have 30 years of maturity with an estimated fixed rate of 1. 3 . This compares against 3. 5 , which is what we would get in a revenue bonds. We estimate a combined savings of 84 million to the rate payers over the life of the loan. So if you approve this, we expect to close them with the state before calendar year end. So were asking the commission to take two actions today to approve the srif for two ssip projects. And with that, i will entertain any questions. Questions . Comments . A question. So where do they get the money from. So they very good question. So they actually get their kind of seed money its called a capitalization grant, and all state or most states have an ssip program. So they take that, and then other s. R. F. Programs, and they create these s. R. F. Funding programs. But the other is capitalization grant from the federal government, so specifically, the e. P. A. Thank you. Youre welcome. Okay. We are to vote on this separately, as i understand, so i would like to call for Public Comment on item 11 first. Seeing none, may i have a motion on so moved. Second. Its getting late. Its hard to get this all those in favor . Opposed . The motion carries. Moving to the next, is there Public Comment on item 12 . Okay. May i have a motion . Ill move it. Second. All those in favor . Opposed . The motion
