Similar to southeast. Theres much coordination with adjacent construction at the plant, much more congested and busy with a lot of work going on at the same time. Finally, a broader perspective for some other problematic updates. We want to acknowledge the great work happening here and this summer we celebrated the eighth year of the city works internship program. Since it started in 2012, they provided a paid internship to young adults between 16 and 19. This summer we had 15, supported by 8 program partners, in which my previous employer use to be one. Thats my engagement with the program. This is one more example on how were trying to leverage our Infrastructure Investments into our youths in the community. Special thanks to Young Community developers, and ms. Lopez for managing this program. So this concludes our presentation for s. S. I. P. Any questions . Im glad to take them and i can roll through the Quarterly Report as well. Thank you very much, pretty good for the first time. Thank you. Commissioners, any comments, questions . Yes. You first tim. Mr. Paulson. You were talking before i even looked up. What was the role of Young Community developers in this . I can speak to that having served with my previous employer. Now as program director, theyre a community partner. Theyre a nonprofit and helping leverage a public, private, and Community Partnership delivering this internship program. They help identified candidates, screened candidates, together with us as partners and p. U. C. And the private firms are involved. Work to make sure the program is administrated and the candidates turn into successful internship partners. And how would you describe internship in terms of job descriptions and construction, and all the projects. Yeah, there is a pretty broad range looking back to 16yearolds and 19yearolds. The earlier stages, a lot of it was work shadowing and work site or orientation. When they hit 19, theyre on their way to college or in transition, so theres more practical learning skills in delivering projects. How does that work in terms of apprenticeship in the construction site . Thats a next phase. I know theres a long career pipeline. This internship is one piece in the middle. From there, theres an expectation or progression in trades or more professional career opportunities. Thank you. I want to point out that this is part of the proposal that the firm submitted to the city that they wanted to participate in the program, which is more professional service related. So, a lot of these youths rotate amongst your subs, in your team. This is something that theyre doing using their resources to provide. So the city is not really, you know. We welcome it. We try to assist. Its something that the firms are doing as part of their social responsibility that we ask them to do as part of their solicitation. Thank you. Thank you. So you were sitting on the other side of the room for years. Years [laughter] so now that youre on this side of the room, what do you bring . Whats going to be different . What have you been looking at and seeing from the other side that now that youre on this side, why did we hire you . Thats a great question. Its wonderful to be in another interview. Its really good. [laughter] i can say it has been ten years. It doesnt stop. Yeah, it keeps going. Its been ten years since i started learning about how we work and what San Francisco p. U. C. Does in this city. Over the last year or so with this transition of what the ssip has evolved. Ive had a lot of conversations with the staff, learning how the program evolved and how it continues to evolve. Market conditions have changed. Were ten years smarter than when it started. Climate change, there are other impacts continuing to impact the development of this program and how we deliver good infrastructure in the city. I think the timing opportunity for this role, i can bring construction experience and design and knowing how to deliver, at least represent or facilitate the great work we have to deliver the commitments we already made. So youre the deliverer. Were moving into the delivery phase. One of the last slides shows the development to get to the red line. A lot of the thinking and the planning and the strategy has been developed. Now we have to deliver. Thank you. That wasnt so bad. Thank you. Good. As long as that answer was okay. [laughter] i guess since were doing a few interview questions, i have one main one and you probably know what im going to ask. You know, one of my commitments to this commission in the city is around Green Infrastructure and resilient infrastructure, especially in the face of Climate Change. We had a lot of discussions and budget allocations and back and forths about that. I would love to hear your views on Climate Resiliency and what you because you did mention Climate Change. We now really get it after 10 years since you began. What do you supposed to do to address those issues . Yeah, Climate Change, and how we address it in our infrastructure and our Ongoing Operations is huge. Its personally very important to me. To demonstrate some of that, the majority of the properties i have worked on here has been on the waste water side. The majority of those have been within Green Infrastructure. I helped deliver some of the early implementation projects. The first efforts in the Capitol Program to incorporate Green Infrastructure thinking to our daytoday waste water and storm water and what we do here. The majority of those early implementation projects were streetscape probablijects. By moving those along and knowing the challenges and addressing those projects and what it meant to deliver is expensive. Its complicated. The streetscape as a public right of way is challenging. As things move forward, we are now looking to leverage some parceltype projects and share responsibility with the School District as a partner and move that thinking forward and do other good things. There are other Grant Programs of course that were on board with. Then theres the storm Water Management guidelines with the developers, implementing lots of work across the city. Theres a great map on the p. U. C. Website that shows where all the projects have been implemented and their stages of progress. It is powerful to see it happen. It has to be integrated with everything we do. It is our future. As we fail to recognize that now then we would have failed. Everything i see so far is moving towards incorporating to what we do. We have to keep it front and center and ill always respect that. Great, thank you. I invite my other commissioners, if you have an interview question at this time. If you do not, we will thank you for your presentationation. Public comment . Next item please. The next item is the update on pg e bankruptcy and the citys acquisition. You skipped one. Im sorry. Thats part two. Okay. Waste Water Enterprise Capital Improvement ProgramQuarterly Report. This one is much briefer. Its about the waste water Capital Improvement report. We highlight three Capital Projects that since the last quarter have now moved into a forecast of were scheduled extended the previously approved schedule by six months or more or a cost variance of 10 more than the approved project. The first one is called kansas and moran street. Its a delay to the original baseline completion schedule. So the agreement with San Francisco public works going underneath part of their property and public works is expressing some concern about the proposed tunnel alignment in this case underneath their maintenance yard. They work on a 35 design but wont be able to release the request for qualification and the r. S. P. For the specification of that tunnel work until we come to an agreement with the San Francisco public works with that issue. Thats a work in progress. Now phase two, its forecasting a delay to the original baseline completion schedule. This is the second phase of the project. Its to convert gary boulevards center lanes and the bus transit lanes. They placed this property on a temporary hold due to funding. Thirdly and lastly, the new Treasure Island waste Water Treatment plant. Forecasting a delay also to the original baseline completion schedule. The team is working to complete the c. E. R. For early 2020 and is moving ahead with the recommendation for a design build operate approach. To so that conclude it is highlights of the three projects. Ill take any questions on those if there are any. Commissioners, any questions . Any Public Comment on this item . Hearing none. Thank you very much for your report. Next item please. All right barbara, youre up for the pg e bankruptcy and city acquisition offer. Thank you, barbara hale, goods afternoon. Im here to make a brief update on where we are at with the bankruptcy case and our efforts in acquisition. Im going to do a highlight on the bankruptcy on the claims cases that involves pg e. The regulatory, california regulatory and legislative activities that have been under way. So since we last briefed you, pg e asked the Bankruptcy Court to find that inverse condemnation does not apply, which would relieve it of substantial claims against it. The court ruled against pg e condemnation does apply. Subsequent to that, pg e reached a 13. 5 billion settlement with wildfire claimants. You likely seen reports of this in the newspaper. It was covered in the chronicle today and there was quite a bit of anticipation of this happening, which was covered in the news as well. The settlement would cover pg e 2015, 2017, and 2018 claims, which would include the campfire and the tubs fire. It also includes the ghost ship warehouse fire in oakland, as well as others. So it includes wildfires except for the kincaid fire, which is the one that happened most recently. The bondholders plan, which was the other competing plan that the bankruptcy judge allowed into the proceedings may no longer have the support as a result of the wildfire victims. So, another plan amendment, we seen a number of these. Were still on this roller coaster of changes in the bankruptcy where pg e is trying to put together a plan that meets its financial op obligations. None of these plans meet the pg e Safety Culture and general approach to center pg e work on rate payers and customers that were looking for in a broader change. Its the kind of change we would bring about where we own and operate the system in San Francisco and be the utility providing service to all of san franciscans. In respect to claims cases, as a result of that settlement, the two areas of claims cases that are under way are in a bit of a pause mode. The San Francisco superior court set of cases, trial to determine the wildfire claims for particular claimants, that may not need to go forward given the settlement. The judge did not rule on that yet. The u. S. District judge that was asked to estimate claims did formally pause that effort on monday, yesterday, given the settlement at the request of wildfire claimants. Then moving on to the california regulatory environment. Theres a number of activities under way at the california p. U. C. That is relevant to us in thinking about acquisition and the pg e bankruptcy. So first off is that i would note the cost of capital case. At this time of year, every year, the california p. U. C. Looks at applications from the utilities on what their estimated cost of capital and rate of return should be. The utilities, all three major utilities, pg e, southern california, and San Diego Gas and electric ask for higher returns on equity to account for the additional risks from wildfire. The judge in that case recently issued a proposed decision that would reject that framing and said basically on the basis that ab1054 eliminates that risk by establishing a wildfire claims fund. So we will be filing supportive comments on that proposed decision. We have yet to see how pg e may comment on that decision. More on that as we see that develop. The california p. U. C. Has opened an investigation on the bankruptcy. Looking at the plans, its an accelerated timeframe. Were monitoring that at this point. We havent made any substantive filing in that case yet. Staff of the california p. U. C. Recently issued a report that you may have read ability in the newspaper where it made findings of a pattern of negligence with pg e, with respect to its treatment of transmission, operations, and maintain innocence, specifically they were reviewing the circumstances around the campfire. The ignition of the fire was sourced at a transmission tower and failing cable hook. The california p. U. C. Staff found negligence there. So this goes to that issue of Safety Culture and what kind of company may emerge from bankruptcy. On that front, were still continuing to see in the legislative setting a number of ideas and approaches to trying to address that, what im referring to as a Corporate Culture change. Its either because of a change in governance structure or other reforms. The coop plan, which we talked about a little bit is one of those concepts. This is the concept that mayor licardo from san jose, working with other Public Officials throughout Pg E Service Territory embraced the concept of a coop, which is a nonprofit Ownership Structure for pg e. Since we reported on this last, we have gotten a number more of local government signatories to that concept and they distributed broad principles around that concept. The coop principles address some of the concerns we had with the concept, particularly around the lack of trance transparency and the structure of the g. O. Overning board. So, that approach doesnt speak yet to how local level Decision Making on distribution grids, you know, local distribution grids would interact with that coop, but it definitely shows a lot of alignment with the interest we have in addressing the Corporate Culture concerns we have with pg e. Then of course theres an ongoing dialog on various yul y utility markets that were continuing to monitor. As things mature there, we will come and brief you on particulars. With that i am happy to take any questions you may have. Thank you. Commissioners . Any questions . That was a lot of information. Thank you very much. Youre welcome. Next item please. Oh, Public Comment, any Public Comment on the pg e update . Our next item please. The last item i have, which is not identified on the report so im going to give you an update on the storm event that happened a couple days ago. Chris mcdaniels, please come up to lay out what happened and how we respond and just go over that. Good afternoon. Chris mcdaniels, im the manager under waste water. I have a couple of things i want to report on. The first thing is noah, which is our resource for predictions for the rain. The second item is the thresholds we use at the operations dictates what we do. The third thing im going to talk about is what we did this past weekend, when we had the storm. Noa is the National Rain forecasting resource we use. During storm watch, we monitor it on an hourly basis. We have to do that because it changes so often. What were trying to find is levels of rain that we need to be concerned with. When we find those, then we react and review our process and make sure we have enough resources and coverage in the field to take care of the rain. So, thats what noa forecast is. Internally, we have thresholds. So any rain predicted, a quarterquarter inch or less, its under normal circumstances. If it goes to 0. 5inch, then we look for Additional Resources to respond to the rain predicted. We look at the city and divide it up into four pieces and we put resources in each area in the city so we can shorten our response time. When i say resources, that is equipment and labor. I dont know if youre familiar with the trucks that have a vacuum hose in the front. Those come in handy for cleaning out catch basins. We put one in each zone so we can respond very quickly. If the forecast is over 1 inch then we deploy the flood barriers. 17 and fulsome floods on a regularly basis and we proactively try to minimize the flooding at that location. If you look at the corner, we create a barrier on the Southwest Corner to prevent the water from going into the businesses. There are a couple wellknown establishments. A really nice coffee shop. Unfortunately their kitchen and their dining area is 2 feet below the sidewalk. Water tends to want to go to the lowest spot. We do that to protect those businesses and some of the residents that live there. This past weekend, as we reviewed noah every hour, the predictions were 0. 5 to 0. 75. That means we dont do anything extra. 7 30 p. M. On friday night, we took a look at it. It was 0. 25. Saturday morning at 5 50, it was still 0. 25. That means internally, we dont issue any Additional Resources to fight the storm. So, as we all know around 2 35 and 3 00, we got hit with over 1. 6 inches of rain in one hour. So they started ringing me saying what the heck chris, why didnt you have the resources out in the field . We have to go by noa. Thats the resource we are going to use. Although it looked like p. U. C. Wasnt prepared, we were prepared and we had the appropriation resources in the field. These things happen from ti
