Transcripts For SFGTV Public Utilities Commission 21417 20170224

Here. Commissioner courtney here. And commissioner vietor is excused from todays meeting we have a quorum. The 1st order of business is the approval of the january 24, 2017 meeting. All those in favor say, aye. Opposed, nay. That motion has been passed. The puc will only go as far as the next generation of workers will take them. We ask that Pc Management work with the union in discussing vacancies and hiring plans in the Workforce Development and we hope that we can find a solution in this direr force. We have had a chance to discuss this at the board and i think weve also discussed this in other aspects as well but this is likely to come down the pike but is there likely going to be collaboration with this agency and other departments as well. Im enthusiastic about how far we have come. Is just about prioritizing it making sure that we have the resources and the staff to do that work but i am committed to your organization and i want you to know that we are continuing to have a dialogue and you will be a part of that moving forward. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. And, the next card that i have is peter trackmeyer. Welcome. Good afternoon peter trackmeyer i want to thank staff for meeting with us on friday and also president moran for meeting with us we appreciate that. It was an interesting meeting. We didnt get into any facts and figures where we have analysis but we are looking forward to having a conversation with staff about that. We are looking at an 8 year defined drought and we understand that we will have better access to the model which will be a better understanding of a way to think about that. We also showed a very simple model to show we were on the right track and what we looked at was basically if we had the eightyear design drought starting next year or in 2040 and what would that look like under 40 on impaired flow from february to june. And, we used some of the assumptions from the sfpuc. There are some factors that could change this in the upcoming years including the drafting levels and how far they would go and the big one is what was required by the sfpuc which was 40 and also water supply and of course any new water supply or conservation would be brought online. On the back there are model conclusions and the 1st was looking at 23 million gallons per day which was the use from 2010 to 2014 before we saw the drought in the last couple years. That would take some rebounding to get the products back up there but that is what we use and just a few interesting things if we have the 6 year drought record which was from 1987 to 2002, we would still have 2000 2500 acrefeet in storage which would keep us into the 1st year of the 7677 addition and then we were to get into a deficit in year 8. And the bottom one is the projected demand in 2040 which include san jose [timer dings] and this word allow us to have this in the record for the storage. We hope that we can discuss this with you on the 8th. We hope to be able discuss this with you and give you more information. Thank you. I think the meeting that yet was productive. It allowed me to feel like i was a on a Water Commission again and the big thing is looking at this and seeing if this confirms or denies there are offers that staff has made are there scenarios in our model to test these ideas that confirmed these other models and we will be glad to do that. That is the proceedings we will have on the next meetings agenda and the response to the prior model that mr. Dregmeyer gave us and if this could progressed to the point of that meeting that would be great in fact, staff has prepared very hard to prepare comments for the state board and a supplemental environmental document which at the moment, the deadline for that is march 17 which has put a lot of pressure on staff to get the comments together so it has to take priority on staff time. But, thank you for your comments and i think that the meeting was positive and i hope to build on that. Any other Public Comments . Seeing none,communications. Commissioners, any comments, questions, on the communication script provided . I do have a request from ms. Sankula to comment on i eat 5 ee at which is the Bay Division Pipelines 1 and 2 decommissioning. Good afternoon commissioners. Sankula, i look forward the project that will be done on the bay and i asked that the commission remove part of that project to remove the part for wsip and i think it would be a particular piece that we want to make sure that we do appropriately think you. Thank you. I noticed that as well and it is a little disheartening to notice the price of the 6 escalating as dramatically as it did in one thing that i would like to ask staff is as we get into this next stage of looking at the revised landscape that were looking at that we also take a another serious look at repurposing that pipeline. Thats one of the things that we have looked at as to whether or not that was they appropriate conduit for the water transmission. Who knows . At how to use that and repurpose it in a way to reduce the financial burden. Commissioners, any comments . Any other Commission Business . I would just like to comment on one thing. Obviously, it is very well known about orville and the problem there and so, i would like to ask our own infrastructure if we could comment on that and also for wholesale customers comment on that. If there is any problems or any heads up that we should be looking at . So we can give you a as part of this may be dan, you can comment on the structures that we have. So, maybe we well get back to you. Its not an agenda is item so i think that the concern certainly is that that flag is waving. I just think this being a Public Entity it is important to bring this forward at this meeting or at a subsequent meeting. Well, it is every dam owner or operator in the state is number 1, thankful that it is not there dam and also to look to make sure that their response plans are up to snuff and i think that we need a report on that and that will probably take more than a few minutes of thought and then we can bring that back to you. Any other Commission Business seeing none . Tech report of the general manager. Good morning commissioners the 1st item is the drought update and he attended the meeting so maybe he can give his thoughts on that. Steve ritchie, general manager, we will share information this week with all of our participants if we could have a good discussion about that. If i can have the slides please. This is our what used to be called drought update but now we will call it the release update. So this is our reservoir storage areas and we have been releasing 150 css through calaveras and that we are looking at bumping that up to an even higher levels so we can bring that level in that reservoir down. For hetch hetchy week we have backed off, of our 1st resources a little bit and you can see that the reservoirs most of the blue bars are at the top. You can see that don pedro is 99 full right now and they are releasing 999 1000 ft. 2 per 2nd end and they are not able to withstand thats weve cut our resources to hetch hetchy so that they are able to withstand this. And we are not in the position where we want to be in. The only real spillway is [inaudible] and im not sure of its ability to carry water at this time. As far as precipitation we added the blue line which was 1993 and we have currently about hundred and 30 average for this entire year thats what we got so far so weve had a lot of water. Up in snowpack. It is a similar picture. The snowpack is way up there. The snowpack line is an accumulation of data from the remote snowflake sources and that is what that little red snowflake is there to show how we match up with the snow up on the hill. So word 150 with the snowpack up on the hill and again we will see that later this week and next week. Our deliveries are continuing to decline for people are continuing to conserve and doing a good job. It could stop raining tomorrow and if it did stop raining tomorrow we would not have a problem with that. We will be calling for a 10 voluntary reduction since were getting again about 10 already. One thing to note is that we have been working on diversifying our supplies a lot with groundwater and this slide shows a couple of Community Ads that are going up this week and diversifying our supplies and moving the groundwater and to is always better than one and this is important so we are continuing to move in that direction as well. Id be happy to answer any questions. Any questions from commissioners . Seeing none. Any questions from the public . Seeing none. Next item please. That next item would be item 7b, cleanpowersf update. Good afternoon commissioners. We are up from 2. 5 we finished this update in the middle of december and we are up about 25 . We are at a total of super green customers just over the 2000 mark 2111 111 and customers continue to sign up for customer enrollments and we have 600 customers that are queued to be signed up now. We are preparing to enroll our customers we have been saying spring 2017 at this point we are targeting may. We expect that enrollment to be 2000 customers approximately. The next order of business is we had a meeting better ccas. They are expanding and they are continuing to expand and that expansion is a concern for them and we are really concerned about reliability in the market and how the cca expansion would affect their Regulatory Oversight and the states efforts for achieving their environmental goals and meeting their Public Purpose Program goals. That hearing was held on february 1. We participated. It was a very well attended hearing they held it in their large capacity room. They had 800 participants signed on to their webinar for the afternoon. This was an all day event and it was packed the whole time. And so, there is definitely a lot of enthusiasm and interest demonstrated there. The 2 newest commissioners commissioner wisehaven and are commissioner dues men so was nice to see them in their new designated roles and also there was some new ccasthat came and spoke during the comment period. We were pleased to hear senators weiner. In the room. And they invited utilities including ourselves and other utility organizations that were invited by the cpuc to present in a Panel Setting of 3 panels. The cpuc is still trying to figure out how to handle the growthof ccas throughout the state and what is their regulatory responsibilities. There seems to be a worry about decentralization and their loss of the ability to control what is happening. The irus or the investors one utilities did express some concern that the ccas did not collect on these roles and given the authority that the planning on power supply a is lies on the local jurisdiction. And, we really need to stay engaged and that is what we are doing and have active dialogue with the cca leadership. And the next thing is the awareness and action of meeting local needs through their building codes and zoning or their relationships through disadvantaged communities in their localities. So a recognition where that is an area where we as a city are in a better position as an investor utilities to achieve those goals. So i just wanted to give you those takeaways there and we will have an opportunity to file comments and we will do that. We will have an opportunity on february 23 to hear that so we will do that and hear from some of the other Companies Involved with the ccas and we would like to hear their results. That is all on a webcast and id be happy to share with you the information for that webcast if you are interested. And with that that concludes my presentation i would be happy to take any questions that you may have. Commissioners any questions . Seeing none. Any questions from the public . Seeing none, mr. Cle k next item please. The next item of business is iitem 7c; the Water Enterprise Capital Improvement Program quarterly report. I just want to highlight some significant aspects of the 10 year cup on the peninsula pipeline seismic update project phase 3 and this was established under wsip and its now being completed under water cip. The San Francisco water Placement Program continues to be wrapping up and in fact were on target for about 13 miles of replacement in the city of San Francisco. The sunol longterm Improvement Project is on its way and the watershed portion is on hold until we can obtain funds for that portion. The peninsula pipe plan seismic upgrade project is in phase 3 and its scheduled for completion in fall 2017 we are in the Pilot Program phase and it scheduled for later this year and we have 2 pipelines that are under way that dale city recycled water expansion product and this a this is phase 3 of a peninsula pipeline seismic upgrade. This is near completion. The San Francisco Water Pipeline replacementproject is disruptive in the city we try to coordinate this with different agencies when a street needs to be taken up it does delay some products and we take them up expeditiously [inaudible] or allow them to remove themselves prior to the Main Construction work. And then, this is the pilot plant at the daly city recycled water plant expansion and this is Irrigation Water for daly city to be used for other public purposes. That continues the Water Enterprise Capital Improvement Program quarterly report. I would be happy to answer any questions before i move on to the wsip . Why do we have a purple tank . Thank you. Steve ritchie reminded me that purple water is for recyclable water and we want people to know thats not potable water. I knew there was a reason. Is not the water of choice. So moving right into the wsip quarterly update we are about 94 complete with the program but as i discussed with nicole sancora at bosca we are continuing to work diligently 2. The eyes and cross the tees on the project but it is still ongoing. And we continue to have a is accomplishments here and i wont read them all out to you by it we are continuing to have some activity and we are closing out some Major Projects and you know that the projects remaining one terms of construction would be the Calaveras Dam replacement. We are looking down at the left side of the valium were standing near the bottom of the valley and you will see the spillway at the top of the photo and its going from left to right and that is the right spillway wall that you see and down the end of the valley i would like to point out that we have started Dm Construction and that was last fall when it was still dry and you see the core being placed there in the middle of the photo and that is exciting because were coming out of the ground and we are not just digging a hole. We are continuing the excavation and we are finishing the routing program and we are in the process of construction. Weve had fairly set again impacts as a result of the recent storms impact instruction and you can see we have to do quite a bit of repair on this road to be ready to resume dam construction in march. This video shows releases that were made on the level outlet and after the large storms that we had back to back in january. As steve mentioned this would be 770 ft. 2 or more and these advancements will be continuing to be made from february and beyond in order to have that reservoir down to continue the construction project. Some other things that we have with the acdd we have the high creek flows and sediment buildup over intake structure we will continue to work on repairs that need to be done. Andcontinuing on to the regional groundwater storage and recovery of course we have 2 sites that have not yet been cited and we continue to work to locate viable sites in the San Bernardino area and that is one of the challenges of the program to meet those levels of service apply in there. What is the challenge with that . Is that one of geology or landowners or . The challenge is finding properties in the San Bernardino area that are willing to sell and existing wells within San Bernardino. Yeah. And then of course we of the buyer regional Habitat Restoration programs ongoing. This shows a fountain thistle site after seeding this is a rare species that is very important for us to look at. And here is one up close. That is the conclusion of my presentation will be happy to take any questions. Commissioners any questions . Seeing none,and then,any Public Comment on and mr. Wade present we seeing none,mr. Clerk, next item please. Next item is item 7 e; the sewer system Improvement Program update for the southeast Treatment Plant project. 1st i want to discuss the ssips levels of Service Goals and really what we want to focus on is the first one and that is to provide a compliant, reliable, resilient, and flexible system that can respond to catastrophic events. Everything is quite old so really the big focus for the phase 1 project is aging infrastructure and seismic reliability and so, there is an urgency to getting these projects done. And, i know that you are very familiar with the budget side of things and these are all of our phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 rolled up together and i will be highlighting the self these projects which are the top three under treatments as well as the land reuse. I also want to point out the storm Water Management projects under Collection Systems and they include the Collection Systems and advanced rainfall. I would like to discuss the Collection System upgrades, and here it with my eyes this is difficult to read but trust me the blue projects are the flooding projects and the green projects are the projects were doing so it works is pretty much going to touch every corner of the city. One thing that we will be bringing back to you in june is the Collection System plan. This was formally known as the urban watershed assessment. This will roll all of the gray and the greenpump and problematic on stages that are flooding and this will lay out the details of our Capital Program and this detail will be marvelous to have an by time we get to our baselining next year you will be well familiar with this. So, look for this in june. Now, andmoving on to the southeast. These are an update of the projects that have been completed and i know that your commission has been a wonderful advocate of moving these projects forward. More recently we had the biosolids processes m the estimate on this is 2. 9 million. And, to show you some of the sep challenges we have residents out there and we businesses and sidestreets m as we are working on this we are really seeing tommy has to really keep construction moving. This project will be very different than dans where it ithis is going to be really open space. Two different projects are highlighted here the pink would be our disinfection upgrades and the green will be the headworks facility. The first is headworks and again thats in green. Moving north that is a pump station that is the pump station you see on highway 80 if you look down the roost plant is right down the hill from the facility and then we have to consider the biosolids facility now we have to move this fine a grit or sand and it has to move through these digesters and everything weve got is 30 years old and operating and again moving that grit and improving seismic accountability. This it can go from him this to find screens and this is a new design and investors are thinking how you work this in the future and how we can operate this and its a pretty impressive facility. If we look at the schedule we have just recently gotten our final mitigated back in december and last year we were given authority to move forward and select our cmdc they are on board and they are working tightly with our designers which are our guerrilla staff and this is really nice to have them working with us. The cpuc is working with her trade package and qualifications and do not worry pres. Moran we will sit down with you to work on these trade packagesshortly and we will have a meeting. We are looking forward to working with you on the architecture and concepts. We will be returning with the final design. There is an artist that was hired through the rfp process and the corner which is at evans were looking at that flat corner there and this is fabulous because if you are driving by the plant, this is something that will draw you in and it will look good. Now, if you go by the plant if you recall we have our giant green pipes and a really sad corner and this is really a hallmark. But, right now this is just shown as a pattern and we will have more information on that as we move forward. Our largest project is 2. 1 billion and that is our bio falls project. Are bio files project again is blue and our Energy Recovery is across the street. And, i do want to highlight that we will have a very critical item today that will be presented by dgm carlin and that will help us to advance our plan to the central shops and take advantage of those central shops site. And again our objective again for our bio slide project infrastructure is again we have lost roofs and we want to make sure that we maintain the Regulatory Compliance in these critical processes is the most onerous process so we want to make sure that we take these roots. We will be reducing the number of digesters, yes reducing the number of digesters and of course, moving up the level of treatment to class a which is a significant thing and again a eliminating odors and keeping them met within that the fence line. Andand our biosolids project schedule we do have an Environmental Review scheduled for march 2018 and a draft eir in may 2017 and the final eir in march 2018. The design for the project started in january 2016 and is scheduled to finish in august 2018. As far as the construction also being august 2018. Similar to headworks we are working with civic Design Review on this facility as well and this is a rendering which shows the biosolids facility just from the south side thisis an advantage because these can be tourable. Looking at the colors how does this Work Together and looking at colors and Sustainable Practices both in lighting and Green Infrastructure and other facilities. And, incorporating public art into our facility. This is the schedule for our construction. Things will be very very busy for our wastewater projects team they will operate a very, very old plan while we continue to do our construction. I just want to talk to you about the upcoming items that because we will be here a lot. The first one will be the jurisdiction of 1800 jerrold which is the central shops. And also what we will have headworks that we are coming back to talk to you about on march 14 about approve all of the mitigated negative declaration and project construction we also will have a presentation on Green Infrastructure programs opportunities stephanie is back from Maternity Leave so she will be able to shed some light on that. We will be looking at the approval of the biosolids design contract modification on march 28 and the Flood Resilience workshop will be held then as well. We are scooping out an appropriate cm Services Contract which is similar to what we did to make sure all the teams are cooperating and working well together. Needless to say, a lot of we have many members on our team today its one from a very small team to having hundreds of people that are working together to get this program to you and these are very key approvals and were looking forward to working with you to move the program forward. That concludes our informational presentation. Okay thank you. Commissioners any questions or comments . Public comments . Ive a question. Oh, sorry. With the biosolids project how far are we behind . Part of our goal is to relocate site uses. The central shop has to be relocated for us to be a will to get that property. That really became something to fell under the critical count so we could get site control. I would say over the course of that we probably lost a year. A little more than a year. But, weve known about that for a very, very, very long time so you know i am going to be impossible you know him probably going to be dead. You know, i am going to be tough. You know, weve known about this problem two years or three years perhaps. Let me just go back in time. For a while, we thought that we own the property of central shops and i was negotiating hard with the ceo and we found that we were t boning the land and our City Attorney lost the fight with their City Attorney and in either case, we had to move them. Because, they did not have the means to do so. And so, the challenge was to try to find property that we can actually move them to. And as karen indicated, that was really the and in fact, we Found Property outside of San Francisco that we thought would be a good option and we had to work with the Fire Department and everyone further them to agree to bring their vehicles outside of San Francisco. Fortunately or unfortunately, that project became not a viable option. We finally found some property adjacent that became available. And, weve been meeting weekly to work on the structure and the design of the land and also we bought the land with people on them slid work with the people that occupy those spaces and negotiate them leaving so we can meet our current schedule. So, it has been really a difficult situation but i can say now that i think that we are on track and we are working closely with our deputy City Attorney and she can attest to how challenging it has been trying to relocate central shops. But, i do feel that we are on a path forward. One of the other things that help us do was really hone in on the technology that we plan on using. I think that our contract theme process is well vetted and in fact, we had a pause for a minute with the with the contracting. Yes so, anyway, i truly understand your frustration and i know that not only you are frustrated but the community out there is frustrated and but i think were hurtful the at a point where that major milestone will hopefully be behind us. Well, i think that part of the project is in carnation with the memories of the community in a couple of the commissioners in general it goes back decades. So, were talking about 20 years of frustration of not being able to solve a problem that has real impact a lot of people. So, that is what i think. Thats what you can hear for me and i think it certainly what you will hear from commissioner caen. I just want to say that we will break ground and be almost finished by time dead . [laughing] no, youre going to live a long time. As our president mentioned this is been going on forever and this is been going on for a long time and this is the reason why nothing happens. I want to reassure everybody that i am going to be the one that stays one back about this. It has to be done. Please do. Summer 2018 we will start construction. In august. Should we put that on our calendar . But that on your calendar. Karen,one last thing, when is the contract coming up . Do you mean for the ccsu . Yeah. In april 202 five we will be back to the commission. And we went back we had some bidders and the firm that was out is now back in it so theres a lot of competingand we are trying to come to a decision with that any other comments . Would you like to address anything else . Let the record show. Any Public Comment . Okay seeing none, mr. Kelly is that everything . That concludes my report. Okay, thank you. Moving on to the consent calendar. Item 8 is the consent calendar all matters listed here under the consent calendar are considered to be routine by the San Francisco Public Utilities commission and will be acted upon by a single vote of the commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission or the public so requests, in which event the matter will be removed from the calendar and considered as a separate item. I would like to move item d any others . Okay i move a motion to move the consent calendar with the exceptions of items a, c, and d do i have a second . I have a motion and a second please vote. All those in favor say, aye. Opposed, nay. K the motion passes. Item abi wanted to move because i wanted a little bit more information about this. This modification would allow those additional repairs. Okay, thank you. Obviously, its a critical facility. Its very high on our list to make sure that we do as much as we can with it and make sure that our construction window is good and i didnt want that to go by unnoticed. Thank you. Yes, miss sankula. Nicole sankula bosco ceo. Thank you for moving item 8b. I did want to mention it but i didnt want to upset the consent calendar. I am i just want to mention that bob did a great job getting the approval on this and they have really been doing a great job and i appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. And it is pretty spectacular being inside those tunnels and it gives you a sense of the size of the facilities that we are dealing with. Also the size of how the force of power might have an it is nice to see inside these facilities and how big these chronicles actually are. May i have a motion . Do i have a second . I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say, aye. Opposed, nay. The consent calendar is approved. Moving on to the next item. Item 9 ispublic hearing discussion and possible action to approve the project schedule of the january 13, 2017 revised water system Improvement Program and direct staff to send a notice of change report to the california joint legislative audit committee, the California Department of Public Health and the California Seismic Safety Commission in compliance with California Assembly bills 1823 and 2437. You might be asking why we need to revise the wsip again what we are requesting is a schedule extension of 15 months for three projects including the tunnelfor the pipeline in three and four and the program each of these is being requestedto be extended from december of this year to march of next year. And the reason for new irvington tunnel which is been in Service Since 2015 is that we are negotiating to change the order with the contract. The contractor is now requesting that we have a dispute resolution Board Hearing on the excessive hard rock encountered during the tunnel excavation as well as repairs and remedial backfill grouting for the steel tunnel liner. So we need the additional time to complete that. In addition the seismic upgrade of the bdpl numbers three and four these are project constructed new facilities and improvements that are been in service sense june 20, 2014. The proposed schedule revision allows time to review, negotiate and settle outgoing changes and get these done in an equitable manner. And then finally, the Security System upgrades this project provide Security System upgrades to the wsip projects after each project is substantially upgraded. We need some time to complete those projects so their request from the commission would be to improve the schedule proposed january 2017 revised wsip. Nicole sankula with bosca would like to address this matter. You will notice our letter has two recommendations that mr. Wade had mentioned earlier. And any other project you would be at the end. You would be at the end of the road and have them completed but these remaining projects this last 8 being significant. Calaveras being the biggest one certainly. When we look at at bringing these projects and successfully am looking at that scope i urge her stay after refocus on that last 10 . In some senses you dont have that flexibility when we were 20 complete and able to move things around and if we are dealing with that last piece of it and i want to see the puc bring that in on time and on budget and i want to see recommendations around that and make sure the read review schedules and mitigate risks where we can identify areas that we might have issues and minimize the potential impact and schedules of these things and look at the budget and make sure that what we have remaining and what we know we have remaining on the work do we know we have sufficient budget and what are the issues or the risk for this budget. That is something i know your staff does all the time but with this last piece and this last step i think its a critical time to do that. And that concludes ill be happy to answer any questions. Mr. Kelly. We are very happy to work with you and we are very happy to work with you and get this behind us as soon as possible. So let us know what ever information you need. And my understanding is, and dont let me but words in your mouth but to take some time to use those processes just to do a full assessment of where we are on scope and budget and time. Absolutely. And when we think about what we know we have a full Risk Assessment register. Absolutely. But, what more do we have to do to deal with those if theres anything else . And what does that mean in terms of that. You are now bringing this project in and youre getting to that point. And speaking about, you know, what it takes to do that and i think that with the commission you are certainly aware that. I mean, theres quarterly reports and there is no doubt. But to me, its different parts of thinking about these last projects interestingly enough which are thesewater supply projects and pipe projects and we know theyre critical because of the institutional issues around them and everything that need that last increment of focus. I want to make sure that were all aware of it while we go through it and while i am committed to your staff to make sure this happens by it i want you to understand we need that additional time to push through to the end. Okay, thank you. I guess i need a motion one item 9. So moved. Second. And a second. Any additional comments or questions . All those in favor say, aye. Opposed, nay [chorus of ayes] item 9 is approved. Item number 10. Item 10 is approval of a form of Credit Facility agreement with thesumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Sumitomo in the Principal Amount not to exceed 150,000,000 exclusive of 270 days interest for the wastewater commercial Paper Program; and 2 approve a form of dealer agreement with Citigroup Global markets, Morgan Stanley co. , and u. S. Bancorp for the wastewater cp program that will extend their current term. Good afternoon eric sandler with the wastewater cp program. As you will see the current status the wastewater commercial Paper Program is a 500 Million Dollar program and it is [inaudible] we issued it to we issued it to 20 banks and we received many responses and you can see that citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and u. S. Bancorp are the dealers working within this process these are for your terms with 31 optional extensions seven years total these are fouryear terms that align with the sumitomo Mitsui Banking corporation loc. You will see before you that we have that your irrevocable agreement with the letter of credit with the Sumitomo Mitsui and you will see there is a Fee Agreement and deal agreements with Morgan Stanley and u. S. Bancorp. And then number six you will see there is an Offering Memorandum and we have a disclosure contract its a disclosure with the investor and this is to understand this disclosure. In the case of commercial paper essentially the Bank Facility thats offering this you see the Offering Memorandum is fairly short but it really describes the bank and the equity agreements that supports these Offering Memorandum so youll notice this paper little different than what it does for regular deals. In summary, the requested action is to improve the form of credit and dealer agreements and related cp documents for wastewater cp dealer programs. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions . Dealer programs. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions . Any Public Comment . Seeing none, can i have a motion . So moved. Second. It has been moved and seconded. All those in favor say, aye.

In 2015 San Francisco collected a total 42,000 103 counts of used oil from various collection points. 28,000 of them were from Certified Centers.

We work very creatively throughout the city on our campaigns to educate consumers around both reduction on the need for oil as well as the proper disposal. So folks dont send it down our storm drains. Folks dont throw away in their trash. The people properly dispose of it. Weve done many different campaigns from working with Young Artists in the bayview for example on a mural to outreach events brought the city to educate folks. One little opportunity im going to take as a commercial is the state in San Francisco run a check your Numbers Campaign because many of us still believe that you need to change your oil every 3000 miles and you dont need to do that. So part of our campaign is to educate folks that there myths out there that are much more effective ways to reduce use of oil in the properly dispose of it.

I just want to say im real proud to be the sponsor of this particular item. Its one of these things where people dont realize that how far ahead the curve we are in San Francisco when it comes to trying to improve the quality of our child develop an Early Education programs and even doing this for quite a long time. There is something we should need to continue to support as we see improvements in each improvement that we see means that many many of the Young Children are actually Getting Better quality Early Education and care than they would have otherwise and its really been a nice ride for us to see how we can know quantitatively that these centers are indeed, of high quality. So thats all i want to say. Thats all you want to say . Okay. Ms. Lee, the floor is yours thank you lisa lee first five children and families commission. The proposed resolution that we have before you today is to approve a six amendment to an existing contract between first five San Francisco and west ed. A Nonprofit Agency who has been providing for the last five years assessment Coaching Training Services for quality Rating System in San Francisco. First five is operated this contract for five years. And at the request of the office and partnership with the opposite Early Education, weve agreed to extend his contract through the fiscal year told thousand 1617 and thats exceeding the 10 million policy tenure the contract will exceed 10 nine. Therefore we are requesting this approval so that we can continue to maintain these essential services throughout the close of the fiscal year. One thing to remark, weve been working closely with the budget and legislative analyst and be totally agree with the recommendation to bid this contract and that process is actually taking place in march. Thats it . Thats it. Perfect thank you. We will go to Public Comment now. Excuse me , yes, please budget legislative analyst. Mdm. Chairman and supervisor yee, on page 3 of our reports we note that table 2 which is on page 4 of our report shows a total contract budget for fiscal year 1617 and that includes the increase of 880,911 and on page 4 we note the total fiscal year 1617 budget of 2 million 6003911 is three earned 50,000 or 50 more than the fiscal year 1516 budget of 2,000,280. On page 5 of our reports the west ed contract at a term of three years from july 1, 2000 wealth through june 30 2013 but did not specify the number of times about the contract could be extended. First five has extended the contract three times through june 30, 2017. So we given the existing contract between first five San Francisco and west ed does not specify the number of times the west ed contract would be extended, we make recommendations in which we show on page 6 of our reports specifically we recommend you amend the proposed resolution to specify first five San Francisco issue a competitive request for proposal provided by june 30, 2017 for a new contract to provide citywide Technical Assistance coaching training and services for publicly funded early care and Education Provider serving low income children and children with special needs. And any future contracts entered into by first five San Francisco for these Services Must specify the original term, the number of extension options on that term of each extension option and we recommend you approve this proposal resolution as amended youre happy to respond to any questions did the thank you i appreciate i recommendation. We will take it under advisement and at this point will give it and go back to Public Comment. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] supervisor yee yes. I have a question. In regards to the activity of the contract much of it is about assessments and i understand that the state is requiring or mandating some of these assessments of our title v programs. I dont knowto questions about that. When did that start happening . And then commit the states mandating it who is paying for that . The mandate for title v programs to participate in quality rating and Proven Systems began to years ago. And we still are at a point where first five is largely contribute in funds to pay for assessment services. If a stopgap measure to also, theres a very small amount that the state block grants of which only 200,000 is allotted for assessments. So the cost supervisor yee, is borne primarily by the county. Then when the governor made this a mandate was it specified that thethe funnypaper this was going to be tobacco money . No. It is not so what was he thinking . That you could just mandate and not fund it . Without objection no comment as to what the governor was thinking but we would clearly want to work with the Supervisors Office in advocating that the state provide more leadership and contribute to this mandate of making the system of qrs system, viable at the county level. I would love tomy office would love to work with your department on trying to sort of have the state mitigate this issue. Because this is the czar. That the state continues to create mandates, unfunded mandates, for a system that is so poorly funded anyways and to try to cripple it even further. So i think this outrage is in our local legislators at the state level should know about this. I will make sure they know about it. Thank you supervisor yee. We look forward to working with the thank you for being a watchdog on the supervisor yee. The members of the public that would like to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] supervisor yeast would like to do . I will go ahead and make a recordation to accept the recommendations and to move the amended item forward with positive recommendation to the full board right. Thank you very much as amended this motion passes unanimously. The double thank you mdm. Clerk these call item 3 item number three accepting the Public Health to expend a grant in the approximately 137,000 from Public Health Foundation Enterprises to participate in a program entitled mac i can aids getting to zero for the period of july 1, 2016 through june 30 12,070. Hell take supervisor sheehy is a sponsor of this but today we got dr. Darden from the department of Public Health. To make a presentation to welcome. The morning thank you. This funding is in part of the getting 20 speed thank you new age of the deaths and zero hiv stigma by 2020. This is second year of this grant specifically this funding from the macaids foundation was allowed us to hire hiv care navigators or based at three dph clinics ward 86, [inaudible] Health Center in Pastoral Mission these navigators work with clinics in order to relink People Living with hiv have owned out of care and bring them back into care. We successfully relink under dating people and our first year of this program and we are continuing to provide these Services Within the community. As i mentioned this to the second and final year of this cramped in this funding will allow us to continue to operate what happens next year . We are seeking other options for funding through possibly two other grants as well sort of the alignments with existing services to see if these services could be provided within the system as it currently exists. So its kind of up in the year . Yes. Okay. Anymore comments . Just a question. Is this relatedduring last years budget process i rememberi thought i remember maybe it wasnt but its usually the city had funded this program. I think about 2 million. To support the program. Is this the same program . So as i understand the city have provided approximately 3 million getting 20 still changing getting to zero as all but the specific project, which is welinkage focus on relinkage to care and hiv navigation was solely funded through the mac eight foundation. Okay. With a 3 million allocated or if it does continue, could that 3 million absorb this . Currently that funding is targeted toward increasing prep update in the community preexposure prophylactic switches preventative for hiv. Its also focused on ensuring people who are newly diagnosed with hiv care are able to access care immediately. And there is somethen theres significant funding thats going to support increases in intensive Case Management as well as Employment Services and Food Services for People Living with hiv. So its nottheres no money thats directly allocated as part of that funding to this program although within the disease prevention and control branch of the Population Health division, we do have an existing infrastructure where we have a few navigators that arethat we can continue to support that are based within San Francisco city clinic. So we anticipate the ability to continue the services but the future of navigators being directly located within the clinics may need to change. Okay. I just wanted to remember because i remember that i was supervisor weiner that sponsor and icosponsored it after. So the same one. Yes. Its the same one thank you. Well will go to First Limited we have a bla . No. We do not. Thank you very much. We will go to Public Comment at this time. Public comment is open at this time.

Im coming to speed you today about a collaborative competitive grant that sfdph and the California Department of Public Health applied for and was awarded from the centers of Disease Control and prevention. This grant is really focused on resistance and gonorrhea cdc identified as the top three antibiotic resistant rats among organisms of Public Health importance. In california, there has the highest number of gonorrhea cases of any state in San Francisco has the highest rate per population of gonorrhea of any area within california. So for those reasons this is an important project for us to undertake. The purpose of able to really have new ways of identifying potentially resistant on a real in San Francisco and also devise Public Health ways to respond to protect Public Health, to detect and promote health in this area. Is that it . Could you kind of opine on my the rates are so high year . Of gonorrhea rates . Wide . Yes. In San Francisco and in california, the rates are generally high. Some of this is just due todue to changes in the way people are choosing to have sex and a lot of the advances they may of heard about with getting 20 with hiv have to do with a very very effective biomedical hiv prevention including preexposure prophylactics or prep and also treatment which is great for the individual Persons Health but also prevents transmission of hiv. There have been some documented decreases in condom use associate with both of those strategies over time and so that then does not protect against std transmissions with some increases over time could San Francisco has historically had high rates of stds and other areas as well. Predating the impact of Biomedical Agency prevention. Thank you. Lets go to Public Comment. We dont have a budget legislative and also report on this so we will open it up.

The devil next item, please item 5 Real Property lease to extend the lease for continuous seas by the sheriff the permit for approximately 882,000 in the initial year with 3 annual increases with 120 14th st. As landlord for the lease lease extension term for july 1 june 30, 2022 all right. On one unlike welcome from the department of real estate shall be presented on this item. Welcome good morning mdm. Chairman and supervisor yee. Were your consideration and review today is a proposed Resolution Resolution regarding the second five year options to renew an existing lease for 1744 120 14th st. Approximately 18,000 squarefoot building plus, if you Parking Spaces used by the San Francisco Sheriffs Department for its training units and background unit Field Support Services Unit and also can serve as the Operations Center or doctoring in emergency. The current extension expires june 30 of this year and this option an extension would go through 2022. The underlying lease requires the renewal and 95 of the fair market rental rate for comparable spaces within annual 3 increase during the renewal period. In appraisal independent appraisal was conducted which 50 per swear food arriving at 47. 50 per square foot for 95 or, 74 74,667 per month. The appraisal was reviewed by the director and accepted good the city transaction agent was able to also negotiate an additional 3 concession for the rest of 2017 calendar year to exist with the sheriffs current budget. So for the rest of 2017 the Monthly Price goes down for a bit then it goes up to 4750 per square foot. The agent did look for other spaces for lease or purchase for the Sheriffs Department but nothing was available at this time that met the sheriffs current and future needs. In addition the city did approach the owner regarding selling the property but the owner was not interested and we do have a right of first refusal in the underlying lease so should the owner put it up for sale during the next five years we would have the right to refuse first. We believe this extension in the terms are in the cities and charts to the permits best interest knowing that the Sheriffs Department should begin its fiveyear planning now we ask that you approve this resolution to the full board good if you have any questions i am of the sheriff storm and the cfo are here to answer anything could thank you i do not have any questions but lets hear from the budget legislative analyst. Yes mdm. Chairman, supervisor yee, on page 9 of our report we note the sheriffs determine existing annual rent this is at 120 14th st. And 1617 is 550,003 and a 90 but thats equal to 29. 18 per square foot. For 18,862 square foot under the proposed lease extension, the rent would increase to an annual rate of 4608 for the First Six Months and then 4750 for the second six months. The total rent will increase from 550,000 392 in 1617 to 85. 5 161719 an increase of 332. 158 or 60. 4 . However, we also note that as the department has just testified from the proposed annual rent of 47. 50 per square foot represents 95 of the current fair market value established by an independent appraisal. As shown on table 2 on page 10 of our report over the fiveyear term of the lease extension, the total rent by the Sheriffs Department is 4 million and the total cost for utilities is estimated 20,001 191 resulting in a total cost of 4 million 943. 727 for the proposed fiveyear lease extension good we do recommend you approve this resolution. Thank you. Appreciate your analysis. Thank you. We will go to Public Comment. Public comment is opened seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] supervisor yee any comments or ideas you want to share . Ill make a motion i will take it. Passes out with a positive recognition to the full board all right. Without objection the motion passes. [gavel] next mdm. Clerk we no other business ladies and gentlemen this meeting is adjourned. Thank you. [gavel] [adjournment]. clapping. in 2013 San Francisco legislators newsom agreed to allow the reciprocate of our soft story buildings those building house one and 20 thousand resident a program of that collect requires extensive outreach and this continuation of that process who is here and bill graham the perfect venue so in 2014 we have the first earthquake retrofit a huge success were repeating this model what weve done it put together venues that are time professionals and contractor are financing institutions a other services that help people comply with the retrofit and as you can see the thousands of members of the public their assessing over one hundred vendors to comply with the ordinance or make improvements on their property i came to get specification information and puck h picking up information if you dont know what twaur doing i take it overwhelming. Were pleased a Critical Mass of people are keying into knowing their relents and understanding what had are the next steps to take and theyre figuring out who to talk to not only the contractor by the mustards and the architect and the Structural Engineers and getting the full picture of what options are necessary and being proacti proactive. So im very pleased to see the soft story buildings 99. 9 percent complies the highest of the program of this scale of the history a citywide effort high Blood Pressure in every stretch of San Francisco to understand real risks associated with earthquake and those are universally agreed on. At some point you need to gather information ill be talking to another engineer to come out and take a look at it and basically get a Second Opinion im for second and third opinions it is inspiring to see all the Property Owners that want to do the right thing and for proactively figuring out what the solutions to get them that. What is amazing to me here we are over two years of first retrofit fair and at the time we are rh2 out to contractors to help us and reaching it out to Design Professionals that soft story buildings is in any and people understanding how to comply now it is different an industry that springs up as a result of the their professed and gotten the costs down with lower Financing Options and these are defined and now the gene progression and have the buildings are buildings and the compliance we understand the 2020 one and 20 thousand San Franciscos 15 messenger of our population will live in a retrofit building those people buildings or lives in buildings with 5 or more residential building is soft story and wood frame and built before 1978 that house that one and 20 thousand san franciscans. San francisco is being the leader in getting in done and as you may know los angeles passed their retrofit law two months ago at the sort of taken San Franciscos lead on the one and tenth anniversary as the residents San Francisco this is a road map to the city and going to give us us plan are these to keep folks here on a disaster and steps to build a resident waterfront by 2020. This involves more than one and 80 individuals and over 60 nonprofits and other companies this is a huge plan and what are the challenges we realize that people are concerned about climatic change, Sea Level Rise and not only the affiliated hazards but things hike youre our amp infrastructure and consumed by social and other things we see this in society everyday and how we try to mitigate those are ultimately a direct result how resident we are after earthquake other issue out of the strategy of the concept after a major earthquake of keeping 95 percent of population here in San Francisco thats the single best thing to help a equitable recovery to keep people here keep people back to work and kids in school and a residents of normal after a disaster. Alliance energy in our partner undertook comprehensive bid process we interviewed a halfdozen of folks who wanted to have a part of our soft story buildings are ordinance so Alliance Energy project programming is a clean assess energy a special financing that is done using the taxed authority of local multiples and one of the interesting features the loan is tied to the property not the vital if an individual didnt have good credit but it is another option for people not able to comply to find another avenue the assessment is actually places on the property and the builds for in that come literally a line item on the tax bill thats how you pay off the segment and tax. 20 or thirty years is all paid up front there are advantages your property tax well it is important to give people on option and many private banks that provide loans over a are shorter term we wanted to create a longer pay back term. I think the next step for Property Owners after at the create themselves to take the plunge and quit the working downey done and have works of work done right of the right rest of the Property Owners can understand this process across the city. We need to do it. It is safety you know thats the bottom line safety.
