The Staff Members on the subject should state to the commissioners what is being done. You dont have to come here like the previous gentleman suggesting things but then, nothing is done about it. Water is precious. And we just take it for granted in San Francisco because we stole the water from different people we dont respect them at all. We dont even have them in some way even though we brought them here at one time and they promised to have them, nobody has reached out to them. They just take it for granted that okay that water comes so we use it for all her buildings, skyscrapers and everything. And yet, in a very general where we will talk about climate change, conservation and the footprint on not taking any concrete action in an unimaginable way to address a waste of water including our hydrant and huge pipes break. We need to capture that data so that we may have a dialogue thats gonna be a hearing. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comments . Thank you, and we will move on to communications, this is the commissioners . Any comments or questions . We have no Public Comment to communications. All right. Next item is other commission business. The last time we spoke, i talked a little bit about some of our concerns related to the community workforce, development approaches in the private and Public Sector and we believed at the time that given the fact the largerall the unions were going to be negotiating contracts. The good news is that those contracts have in fact all been tentatively agreed to and it looks like theres going to be a rollover, the bad news is that we wont be afforded an opportunity as an agency or organization to kind of flesh this thing out. I have been, a little bit focused on the workforce piece. Its both a bottomup and down approach. Im kind of looking forward to having some dialogue and we are asking that once again look at that piece have those combo stations and lead the way on that. A lot of those departments that are not engaging this in this way, the fact of the matter is the workforce piece isnt always a critical piece and that does not intend to put anybody off and i have begun to believe and its not a critical piece that we do. It requires a little bit more engagement in them looking forward to having some conversation with staff. Just before a presentation and not a full hearing. Just to look at some reasonable expectation. I hope that we can look at that in the next couple of months. Bama sounds reasonable to me. And we can work with staff to make that happen. Any other commission business. Okay, say none. Report of the general manager. Good afternoon first, i wanted to give an update that is not listed on this of the stores that we have receiving. Its good for water for business, but its been quite challenging on the waterway system. I want tommy to come up and give you an update on what we are doing and the challenges that we been fell act the challenges that we been facing during the storms. Please put up the screen. Good afternoon commissioners. Good afternoon. Thank you. I am tommy sisson a general manager for wastewater. I gave you a update two weeks ago, if you remember weve had quite a few bit of rain. This is a ring amount, basically every single day with few breaks in between. What we have done, we have increased our rain and these are just the facts, since the last time i was here were average around 1015 every day and we hope that it continues to grow until we get up to the 25,000 that we need. We delivered more sent back to the people 132 banks went out, on the last storm. We have deployed twice this month the last one was on friday the 20th in a just and it this morning with the removal this morning. I want to talk about the storm that really had us. Our folks have come really adapted and just when we start to think that were good about predicting the weather, we got thrown a curveball last thursday night. Our system is set up we have deployment thresholds that we do, we look at the updates by the hour for staffing purposes. Our staffing purpose are deployed at. 753 quarters of an inch from the area we deployment. We put more staff out in the field. That is just not but other departments help i department of public works, crews clear and remove debris to ensure that everything is clear. Approximately half hour on thursday night david and wake you up, a lot of people were woken up it came in between 3 45 in the morning of the 20th, friday until around 4 00 p. M. Friday. It was a fiveminute. Or certain part of the city got a 80 or 90 storm. I brought a little video just to show you what actually happens. This is taken from a Security Camera. If you guys want to start that, commissioners . I saw this earlier today and its very spectacular. We will not be able to see it on our screen. But we do have a good angle on the tv screens and if you cant try to move to get a good angle to see this. This is 15th st. We have a catch basin here and this is taken from a Security Camera of one of the residents. This is a 20 minute video and im going to speak through. You can see the stop sign here, the writing on the ground is very clearly and you can see the water, the catch basin still draining. Coming down the road and its rushing there was lightning right there. The waters coming. The catch basin still training, the staff put up these barriers on sandbags to keep vehicles off these catch bass so they continue to drain. Moving up a little bit. You can see the writing on the ground is gone now, its flighted all the way across this intersection. In the water still coming. We three minutes in the video. At 5 12 this is what it looks like. Look there comes a garbage can right here. There was a lot of residence out there and they said that it was literally happened in around five minutes. A wall of water came down and came across the street. You can see that the catch base is doing what it should do but its overwhelming. You can see the flooding here continue to happen. Again worth a ten minute mark, basically it stopped off and raining. Now were at the 11 minute mark. Look at the catch right here. It is still doing its job but its overwhelming. Its like putting a jug of water through a straw. Moving forward, this is one of the neighbors here. You can see the catch base is so bright draining but its overwhelming. We wanted to show you how quickly it happens and how quickly goes away. By the end of 20 minutes its gone. I do not know if you stop these catch bases but its clear in them just the same. Love right now we can start seeing the writing on the ground. The sky is no longer bringing down rain and were into 60 minutes of the video. Now, everything is clear. Theres not much left. All the street is clear and the catch basin still doing its thing. We can see that its totally clear. Whats more impressive to me is that its hard to see it on the tv screen. The catch base, and you can see it. You know that there is capacity. You know that the catch base is working. As it was it was designed to work. You know its not clogged up either. The system is working as its designed but its overwhelmed. What use on the street, basically rainwater. There was some damage, three garage is flooded in this area. We also had some flooding over at kai you got and we had plating at 17 and fulsome. It did not meet the threshold for us to launch the barriers, we did get caught in the storm. We launch them on friday and we didnt take him down until this morning. What about this area here . Yes, our response, we saw what happened. Staff went out there first thing in the morning and by the way, before the storm came, our communications and emails out to these neighborhoods. These four primary areas. This lowlying area as well, they send out the emails in the morning. That there is a storm and its coming and to be aware. In the morning, the following morning, claims from the City Attorneys Office was out there and we began our clean up right away to make this right and restoration has artie begun this morning. Where are we with this longterm solution . First of all, as we talk to you there is different areas performing different storms. I think were showing you today is that its going to be very difficult to manage flash eve s events, but we are looking at increasing the capacity and the cost with that. We have already identified some projects and i think our plan is to come back to you in a couple of months where, we will identify some alternatives so that people can kind of see the cost of some of these solutions. We have shortterm solutions and longterm solutions. We been working on some shortterm and we will give an update of where they are. But also with the longterm solutions and will give you an update of where they are. We have been working with those in the neighborhoods, i think the challenge that im seeing is that as we collect more data is that its really hard to predict. With regards to what type of storm thats been a happen but also the types of storms we been seen. Its like ocean beach for example, we are trying to beat mother nature. This is really hard. So, working a look at the same approach whatever we built up there the storm may be larger and we have to look a holistic way or a more permanent solution. This is what we hope to bring to the commission. This is about the flooding for the whole area . Yes. Were hoping that also pays for it all. Thank you tommy. That was a quick update. Since were talking about flooding the next one is trout. We may have to rename this. Yes or general manager for water department. This is a drought update. This is a bit of a misnomer. First, i always show the reservoirs and as you can see were close to full, water bank is full, they all have a lot of water and the interest he won is this reservoir here. Its a 54,000 acrefeet our current level of restriction of the division and safety and am is about 33,000 acrefeet. We have more water than were supposed to because we have had water come in such a rage. The gauge on the arroyo hondo in the reservoir sunday before last was the highest we have ever read there. About 70 cubic for second that was a lot of water coming in. This is been filling up and we have been treating water out of this area to move it out. In addition, we have been releasing this valve here which is a protector valve that we use to evacuate that reservoir. 250 cubic per second. We just reconfigured this valve and we did this in december and im glad we did because now we can use this valve. We headed up to 500 ft. Per second, twice the flow we currently have it shut off because of the emergency work at alum maddie Alameda County is doing. There was account car that when in that area and they still havent found the driver. So once that is cleared up we will begin and bring it up to around 750 ft. Per second. We need to get that elevation down. It has caused some problems for contractor and we want to avoid that. We also want to avoid another start coming in and making that even worse. So were getting it out as fast as we can right now. Just a quick slide on the reservoirs around the state. They are all well above average this time of year except for this one here. Its a little bit below. But other rise reservoirs are very weathered around the state. This is our our cumulative participation slight. The dotted line is 1983, the red line is this year. For the last three weeks we have been above the wettest year in our record. Its supposed to be dry about the next week but they the risk at storms for neck wednesday. This is been a very wet year. I almost thought about making this a one slide presentation based on this slide here. The black line shows the peak of the hundred percent snowpack on april 1st and you can see were above that already at the end of january. That is far more snow that weve seen in the last 4 or 5 years. Not only do we have a lot of precipitation, but we have a lot of snow now as well. This is a barrier. Water available to the city is already at 640 acrefeet. This is a kind of year where theres plenty of water to take, philip our bags are was of war and have a good year for water supply. This is the upcountry participation purchased the precipitation for january. We are already up the average at this point. On the bay area side were about double precipitation in january and were not quite at having for the yeartodate total so far. And last but not least, currently deliveries for customers are tracking last year so folks are continue to conserve. The fact that theyre so much precipitation i kind of doubt that anyone is water anything right now. Yes, this may be retitled flood update, i hope not. We are looking good. Last time the state water board was having a workshop on drou t drought, theyre going to continue their existing drought until the middle of may. Whatever they do, i dont think its can make a difference because we have plenty of water. Currently were not wasting water so, i dont see them doing anything that will affect our Water Management in the context of drought. I will take this opportunity to a goal what peter said, we have a meeting with the water stewards and environmental groups on february 10th. This is a friday. This, to go over in detail. So i look for to that discussion and ill be happy to answer any question about the drought update. I have a question. The participant precipitation side. The wettest day in record was year was 83 and the driest . 1977. You see this brownishmaroon area. And 2016 was dry but more precipitation . 2016 is a yellow line it was above average. When was the first year that this recording started . We go back around 90 year so its around 1920 give or take. Thank you. It makes one have more storage. Thank you. On the next item we have the 2018 water and sewer i am sorry do we have any Public Comment on that. Thank you. Go ahead. The next item in 2018 water and sewer rates study update. Im eric sandler. I have a presentation youve heard about flood and drought. So i have when i love this just a joke. Let me please have the slides. I have a brief presentation its basic an update on her 2018 setting. We are going to be talking ab t about, to provide you some context and some updates on some key task. What our goals are, some of this youre familiar with because i printed out prior to this presentation. And share some of the discussion and consideration for the proposed action with regards to the charge. Just remind everybody that city charter requires us to do an independent cost of Service Study for each unit. Every five years. That is what were doing for water and sewer. The last time you sit rate for water and sewer was july 1, 2014. Effective july 1, 2014, and that ran through physical year 18. The rates of were talking addressing in the study that were currently undertaking this fiscal year 19. Effective july 1, 2019. We got started early because were ambitious. Just to arrive remind you what the key task are. I look at it at three levels the first one has to do with how much revenue you want to collect from your charges. That determined by your operating expenses, expect pictures and everything that covered policies like reserves how much of a capital plan you want to finance with cash and or debt. That has to do with the revenue requirements. Also how much you want to recover from rates and charges its a cost study. This, looks at how your customers and their use the characteristic structure cost so you can allocate costs fairly to different customers. And finally, rate design. How do you structure the rate and charges to recover the cars cost of services. You have a fixed charge, tears in your rates those are the kind of things that we talk when we talk about rate design. The next light is briefly talks about what we talk about with rates study and structure. The policy and consideration that we look at one of the things that we can wait and consider. Here is a summary categorize, we look at customer equity, affordability, how is he it is to understand the rate structure is, we look doesnt recover civic cost for the enterprise. Are those costs recouped in a good way are they variable, are they simple to implement do we achieve our objectives. These are the lenses to which we look and evaluate any rate discussion or consideration of rate. Im in a talk a little bit about, we seen this line before but i thought id give an update on some of the work. Not all of this is within the scope of the right and cost of Service Study, it all feeds into the work of setting rates and charges. The things that we made is a lot of progress and we engage with their Financial Advisor miss road to send a very good study with regards to various financial policies. Will become before the commission before the months and talk about the policies like reserves, debt service coverage, Capital Financing policy and dep management. Youll be hearing from us as a result of that survey and evaluations over existing policies and recommendations for changes. This, is how much money you need to collect. The next area wastewater structure. Weve had a lot of time looking at the creation of storm water charge. This is where im going to spend the rest of the presentation talking about. We got the scope together with the consultant and the updates in our string charges. Basically, we charge for storm water best on flow so this is a water that you return to the way system but also based on the strength of your discharge. It doesnt have a lot of grease, organic matter so we are updating this and its a big undertaking. This is very important for conducting cost of Service Study and making sure that were operably charging our customers. That work is kicking off on the affordability front, we have a good scope of work that one of our city hall fellows is working on and looking at how her rates and charges a picture low income customers. Where they live, how can we design better programs for them. And finally, some other areas that we will be getting on a little further down the line in the rate study. Which are fixed variable, do we want to consider other rates so that we dont find ourselves in the situation that we have been in the several years. Asking for reduction and affecting the financials because of that. I wanted to give you a little bit of background of all of the work that has been happening with respect to the stormwater chart. This is worths kickoff with the consultants and you might want to consider thinking about a storm water charge. The staff has been plugging away over the last couple years throughout the country. Weve done a gis analysis of San Francisco to try to map partial data to storm water data. Weve done a cleanup of our service data with model definitely. Developed implementation budget and plan for storm water charge which is not an insufficient get the effort. Is probably more significant change that weve had in a very long time. In conclusion of
