Continuation of the national Water Service water paint. The policy is to comply with senate bill 998, the Water Protection act passed on september 2018. The act requires adoption of the policy, which is the purpose of this bill, of this recommended action. This slide highlights some of the requirements, that are already in compliance with. The bill requires a minimum of 60 days delinquency before shutoff. We did not discontinue Water Service before 60 days. Actually per our process, its around 70 days.

So we have a motion. We have a second. Any further Public Comment on this item . All in favor . Aye. Opposed . Motion carries. Thank you for your presentation. Our next item, please. Clerk item 19. Improving and authorize the general manager to execute an agreement between the bay area water supply and Conservation Agency. And the San Francisco p. U. C. Regarding operation and allocation costs for the violet water transfer. Good afternoon, Steve Ritchie again. This is to approve and authorize and execution of the agreement between the bay area water supply and Conservation Agency and the San Francisco p. U. C. And the agreement with the city of hayward, east bay municipal district, regarding a onetime use of the hayward for the pilot water transfer. This has been something that nicole im sure will make some comments on, because this has been in the works for six years to try to figure out what it would take to actually get a water transfer, it happens in this case to be through the hayward inner tide. Taking water from east bay mud system and then passing it through the inner tide into our system, which really goes to the city of hayward. So they have been looking for a long time at, you know, what does it take to do it. And this has been long effort trying to actually put in line all of the institutional rates. Thats the big issue of water transfers, more than plumbing and more than availability of waters. Really can you get governmental agencies to Work Together in some of these difficult challenging situations. And so bawsca to be commended for sticking with it, to actually do it and learn some lessons from it, on what it takes to accomplish a water transfer. Great. Thank you. So what is this going to accomplish . Whats the overall goal . The overall goal here is to actually test out the system of executing a water transfer. The actual amount of water being moved in this transfer is actually quite small, its water thats being purchased from the Amador Water Agency in the watershed. Their goal was to actually, you know, see if they could what it takes to actually make a transfer, so hopefully in the future when we get into dry years, when you really want to get a transfer of some kind, that you know the hurdles you have to get over and have learned lessons about how best to get over those hurdles. Gotcha. Thank you. So how about we put a motion on the table, if theres anyone interested. A second and then well get Public Comment. Second. So i have one Public Comment from nicole. And then well open it up. Good afternoon, commissioner. Nicole, bawsca c. E. O. Ill keep my remarks brief. But i do appreciate steve with this pilot. It is a significant effort that the agency and my agency has taken on the past six years to really prove, in fact, the ability to move water through the system. And understand what that takes. And our expectation is that when this is done, we will prepare a report and present the findings in that report to you. Until that time, were just kind of playing it low key, because you never know. Its still not done. It wont be done until that water move. Its a fairly significant effort. Its taking five public agencies to get the water from its source to the customers. Thats not insignificant. But i also wanted to take my time most importantly today to thank general manager kelly, a. G. M. Steve ritchie, city attorneys office, the staff at the p. U. C. , the list to get this agreement and the multiple agreements with hayward done is not has been significant. And i appreciate their efforts to make that happen. So id be pleased to answer any questions, certainly ill come and give you a report when this is completed. Well, i for one would be very interested in the findings. I think theres a lot of opportunity and potential with water transfers. When do you think its going to occur in january. So when i can do is plan to give you a brief report in february, about how it went. And then the report will take several months to get out. That would be great. We would love to hear about it. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Hearing none, all in favor . Aye. Opposed . Motion carries. Thank you. Next item, please. Clerk would you like for me to read the closed session items . Yes, if you would. Item 22, 23. Exiting litigation. And item 25, city and county of San Francisco versus pacific gas and electric federal Energy Regulatory commission complaint. Thank you very much. Any Public Comment on matters to be discussed . Hearing none, ill entertain a motion to assert a privilege . Is there a second . Second. All in favor . Aye. Opposed . We will now move into closed session. I want to welcome everybody. This is the ninth year of the gun buybacks. This year the gun buy back the nation wide. We are going to have it not here in San Francisco, it is going to be in vale vallejo, baltimore, boston, so the momentum of the gun buyback is picking up. Our whole mission is to end senseless gun violence. I am not against the Second Amendment but i am a survival of gun violence, and i am highly against gun violence. That is why we are here standing in solidarity today. There are so many partners today that made this happen. This is just not one person or one organization. I want to thank our mayor of San Francisco, our leader for being a leader in the issue of gun violence. Give her a hand and welcome. Mattie scott, the mothers, Brady Campaign, all of the mothers who are part of this endeavor to end gun violence. Give it up for the mothers. [applause] i would be wrong if i didnt acknowledge jason and all of the gentlemen who came home after doing a life sentence in prison behind violence who are here to end senseless violence. Give them brothers a hand. [applause] i definitely have got to give a shout out to the sfpd who are partners of ours to end this gun violence. It is controversy with the community and cops. We are standing here in solidarity. Thank you guys for showing up, sfpd. [applause] all our Community Partners based in this together and or sponsors. Dispensary stores, barberry coast, green door, elevated, the shrine who helps us out. There are so many dispensary that help make this happen. My man, adam. He is a business onener, thank you, adam for providing the resource and support to the community and developers. We are all in this together. I want to say thank you. I want to bring up our amazing mayor who is a great leader, not just in our city but in the region. Give i you will for mayor give it up for mayor london breed. Mayor breed it is always good to come to united players and see so many amazing people. A lot of my friends and folks i have known for so many years. It is great to see everyone here. I wish we didnt have to be here for this reason. So many of us impacted by gun violence for so many years. The reason why i got involved in Public Service had everything to do with the people that i lost over the years to gun violence. You know, i lie look around ande posters, there are a lot more than what you see here, they are of people that i know. Young men who were gone way before their time. I think about over 1,000 guns united players collected and got off the streets and how in my mind that is thousands of people that are still alive because those guns arent on the streets. I think about the mothers that are here today and knowing your son was shot and the amazing work he did, and george, who i grew up with, a little older than me but a good dude who looked out for people in the community. I think about so many people, mostly a lot of africanamerican men who had lives taken away much too soon. I know that we are better than this. I know that when we come together we can help create change. I know that steam it seems hard. It seems hard because two days ago we had a shooting in the bayviewhunters point community. It seems hard because, you know, really sometimes it feels like the only time we in our communities get together is for the funerals of some of our young people who get taken because of gun violence. I want us to be reminded of this because it is so important to understand why we are here. We are here because we have lost so much over the years, and we dont want to lose anyone any more. That is why we are here. We are here to make a plea to people all over the bay area who have guns in their possession. Here is an opportunity on saturday, december 14th, no questions asked, to turnin your guns, to get those guns out of your possession, to make sure that a child doesnt get ahold of that gun and accidentally shoot themselves or another child, to make sure that those guns arent used to harm anyone else. You know, when i come to this press conference every single year, and i have been coming for years. When i participate in these activities, you know, for some reason my heart always feels heavy. It always feels heavy because, you know, i keep thinking about the people that arent here because of gun violence, senseless gun violence, that have taken the lives of so many people. Here is an opportunity for us working together to make sure that it is not one more, to make sure that we change the future of our city so that kids who grew up in th the middle of the violence and they dont know why. We want to make sure that is not normal. We create a new normal of people that are coming together to Work Together to create safe communities. We deserve safe communities. These mothers dont deserve to have lost their children before their time. The folks here are united players and rudy working every day to change the conditions of our communities, they do this because they understand the hurt and the devastating impacts of what violence does to communities. I want to thank our elected officials who are here today that i have worked with over the years in city government. I truly appreciate Assembly Member david chew and senator scott weiner for being here and supporting the effort we continue to push for to address gun violence, not only in our city but in our state. I appreciate supervisor haney who this district encompasses, someone who will carry on the legacy what we need to do to support not only this district but citywide to end gun violence. That shooting may have happened in bayviewhunters point community, but it still has a Significant Impact o on everyone in the city. Every time someone is struck down because of a gun it has an impact on everyone in this city. I want to thank deputy chief greg who i worked hand in hand within the Western Addition community for years when he was our captain. We were at the height of some of the violence occurring in the Western Addition. The way we dealt with that, partnership with the Police Department, working together to provide opportunities and programming and to deal with the need to make sure that we are addressing this issue head on. We got a lot of work to do, folks. With all of these incredible people today and our sponsors. I see jessie in the back hiding with bar bury coast, someone who grew up in the community and has given back and invested in the community. With all of us supporting one another, prayer together and really doing what is necessary,
