Vice president ran . Here. Everyone is present. Thank you, lets go to the next item please. Item three the approval of the minutes of september 16, 2016. Do we have emotion . Yes. Then Public Comment please . All in favor. Motion passes. Next item. We have a general Public Comment. We have several comment comments here. Lets first start with peter please. Thank you. Good afternoon. I have a big concern about the plan on what came out on the sunday paper. I think you should be concerned too. One of the quotes is our initial economics study or analysis the first consideration forecast 51 rationing to 188 jobs in the bay area. Lost. They also show around 37 billion sales and transactions. I was told, that that come from testimony from the funding. Couple of things he said, job losses with 20 rationing would be around 6500. Sales lost with 20 21 billion. He also produce a document of water shortages in our System Service in area. Heres the report of march 2014. We found it incredibly flawed. For example, we already given your comments. This study says that all Regional Water is affected by this plan. 15 local is working to the figure thats not true. It appears to confuse the 2010 water use, which is available in the supply. Were using about 20 tds and they said thats a normal year because of the recession and climate. So they said it was around 237. Instead of working off the supply, from 265, they use it 237 figure. It also doesnt show the difference between the water supply and streamflow. In the 50 year drought last fiscal year, we used 180 mg per day. We had one yet what your, normal year and its up to 80 capacity. We have enough water to last four years. A couple of things that were said in that study, the waffle loss by shortage scenario for 20 would be 240 million, so, using the 265180 last year, were 32 below the supply. Using 237, with the use were 24 below that number. We didnt see any of those impacts either. Or the sales lost for 20 , 2. 03 billion. We can see that. The economy is strong or whatever. Job loss, 20 . 7500. 30 . So, i think that the editorial was a pleading and they were dishonest. You have to ask staff, they willing to stand that analysis of ar we can bring it to the court opinions. There are, we need to correct that. A lot of people that article is about credibility. Thank you. Thank you. Lets go with bill martin please. Thank you. I too would like to. Would you like to get closer to the microphone please. Yes, i am member of the sierra water club. My comments are, i do not agree that the commission should be opposing this proposal. The point is simple. This is the bay, dr. Environment. San francisco bay. Its named after the city. We have a responsibility, as stewards, to maintain the state. To oppose this proposal is simply hayes and. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citations.

What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citatioo. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citationsd. What has been scientifically documented, and we wont bother to get into the citations, they documented something called the client. What that simply means is that there is less, and less animals, fish, birds. Throughout the entire system. There are multiple reasons for that, for the decline but one of them, according to the science, is not enough water. I think, when you look at the science, thats why the control board has come up with this proposal. I urge the commission to look, director attention to the signs and make sure that they dont see any holes in it. It appears that they have not. One other point i would like to make, San Francisco has been a leader in environmental protection. Starting with the folks that started the lets say debate in the 60s. The ability to legislate in the congress, to save parts of the bay area for our present and future. We have many very strong environmental people in office today. It around the country and also around the globe. Finally, just put some numbers on this, 77 of voters in San Francisco measured for major. Those folks voted to tax themselves to help protect the bay. Im sure that they would approach this proposal. Thank you. Lets go with mr. Albert please. That afternoon. Im cochair of the Water Committee for the San Francisco bay chapter of the sierra club. I would like to direct your attention to a letter that we sent to members of the Commission Last friday, where we addressed this proposal from the state water board to probe projected targets for the major area. I wont waste your time by reiterating the points made in that letter, but i would like to talk a little bit about the tone of the debate. We would really like not to have an adversarial relationship with you folks on this, we would much rather, yes, this is it presents a lot of challenges in our own ways in our own strength, we can Work Together to achieve these goals. There are very irritation and other water agencies in the san joaquin valley, better saying very loudly to the boards proposed flow objectives, no, we cannot do this. We will not do this, and we recognize that the wood has some real challenges to meet those objectives. And we recognize that San Francisco has some real challenges, to meet those objectives. But what i would like to urge you folks is, dont just say no. Dont say, but say how. Say yes. We all recognize that as a state, we need to restore our rivers we need to restore the delta and we need to restore San Francisco bay. Its a big challenge for us, but we will work on doing this. Again, i urge you to respond in a positive way. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any other Public Comments .

Thank you michael, good afternoon commissioners. I have a Powerpoint Presentation here. Thank you. My name is renee, and i am excited and honored to be back with you here today along with dj, who is a new executive director of softly. He was appointed in may and the ground running to truly honor the litigation that built the societies. Today, im just a little time covering the background in a recent efforts, to catch up to speed. And that will be some review for some audience members that were here. But then again, i will turn it over to dj and he will walk the results of the outreach and engagement in the Community Recommendations that we heard. Southeast and green houses were built to address the adverse environmental and social impact of the expansion of the southeast Water Pollution plant in the 1970s. The vision was to provide educational opportunities, job training opportunities, Childcare Services for the community and for the both facilities to serve as assets so people would be proud to attend and give lifechanging outcomes. In 1987, they leased out the southeast to the college and it became the Master Tenant and assumed responsibilities. The greenhouse release too small for profit business received extremely low rent, and exchange for full responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance. The Southeast Commission was also created in 1987, to provide guidance and feedback of both facilities. I would like to recognize commissioner king was with us today, thank you so much for being here. Your leadership has been instrumental. Thank you. Over the years, since 1987 on program has low and the city college subleasing out space. Meanwhile, the greenhouse tenant also sublease space. In 1996, both facilities were transferred to the wastewater transfer to the agency. Our agency became responsible for both facilities. Many leaders were responding this of this agreement. We have been blessed and honored to get to know these visionary leaders over the past several years. I personally havent plus an honor. I would like to recognize ms. Shirley jones cannot be here with us but she has been involved in the process the last eight months. And of course, dr. Jackson, his father glenn soccer has also been involved with us. Thank you for being today. Thank you for all our Community Partners have helped us run this outreach effort. With our partners, we could not be today. For anybody interested in the full legal and time history you can go to our website. Today, good to more recent efforts. 2011, was her some Community Concerns about the lack of utilization in this facility, we did an initial assessment we talked to over 100 stakeholders and we heard was pretty clear. The building was being underutilized and needed renovations. In the entrance created security issues. The elevators were done often in the common k. In response, the decision was made to renovate the two phases. The first phase was to do a smaller and the second phase renovate the entire building. During that same time, we had letters of intent city college that they would provide program at the center phone any improvement or changes to the web. In 2014, phase 1 was completed. However, we learned throughout the phase that significant structural challenges could not be fixed rather nations. Started phase 2, even with this investment, the major challenges in the building cannot be addressed. Thinking that we wanted to ensure the continuation of the litigation, we should exploring brandnew building. However, knowing that the site can strike of 1800 oakdale, that would still limit us in parking was thinking outside the box. Around that same time in 2015, her agency was ready to look at the other side. Besides, is on the corner of third and events. It has 5 acres. See the site as a possibly location, halted for the staff there. And then we started investigating the building what it a new city. We had additional conversations with the city college unified School District, to see there was interest in possibly building an adjoining educational campus next to the Community Center. To have a true face pipeline into another enhance academic campus. There was initial interest. 2015, we also did feedback on the two options that we heard from over 200 people that there was excitement, but people wanted longer more Robust Community driven process to discuss the options before getting behind either one. Before heading to dj, i want to walk into the green houses. So youre worried exactly, we got, how we got to work today. Just like our efforts of the committee center, with the greenhouses, the idea to return them to the original vision began in 2011 when all tenants were notified that there would be a Community Driven process. In 2013, we worked with tenants to track their impact on the community. We put out a request for interest letters organizations across the bay area about what innovate the greenhouse. And, what it would look like. Received nine interest leaders from different organizations in the bay area. They all had ideas for how to use this greenhouses Workforce Development. Before about urban program, growing food a lot of new innovative proposals. At the time, to do these proposals, the greenhouses like the southeast facility, would have to be upgraded rebuilt. 2015, we learned that there was some structural issues to be addressed. Realizing the concerns of the greenhouses and realizing would have to rebuild the greenhouses, the decision was made to vacate at the end of 2016. We have been working with each group and assistance with the relocation and also partners with workforce 11 case anyone will be impacted by this that will provide oneonone job placement services. Over the past nine months, we also integrated the question of what interim Community Best serve the community while the greenhouses are vacant. That i
