This is a presentation from the Community Safety inturns who have been here for many of the meetings regarding the questions we ask them to think about and help thunk through on recommendation for rescrutment of communities of color and trust between all of San Franciscos communities and how to continue to talk about Law Enforcement in a way that all of the neighborhoods in the city see themselves in the department so we have some real extraordinary young people that give recommendation squz finds squgz talk 33 the process. I dont know if you want to say anything about this before they begin . I want them to get started. Before you have a couple folders which have in the pink folder there is a sheet like this which is a rough kraft draft of a report of the work that has been done, the young people and activities. All and all there 7 cohorts that work would the Community Safety this summer, 3 from hope sf and in partnership with theo miller and this was a internship about Skill Development and about really preparing people to think about going into project pull or future grads and creating this pipeline where we sometimes dont see young people from had communities most at risk if violence and poverty and crime. This is focused on how to build better relationshipwise the Police Department so i do want to thank president loftus and chief suhr for being willing to engage and move if t it forward and the partnership. We were just talking and this is by far the best summer we had with young people, this age and the work they put out is amazing and like anything that you would probably pay something to do, so excited for that. I wanted to share stats with you. We did surveys in regards to how many of them would consider Law Enforcement as a career and we did that at the beginning we had about 66 percent of them said absolutely not and would never consider being in Law Enforcement and now we have 20 percent of them saying absolutely not so there was a shift and some have become recrurts. They are not thinking about it personally but recommendobe other people. We also had 100 percent say they now see Law Enforcement differently than when they first started the program and the other one i want ed to share is, did your opinions about Law Enforcement change and 89 percent said their perception and ideas about Law Enforcement changed so i think this is the beginning of having conversations how to have better partnership. They created amazing product squz the report givers a smap shot of what they worked on. I did want to invide theo miller up because he did a lot of recruitment. Thank you for this opportunity and you are in for a amazing surprise tonight thank you mrs. Davis im the director of hope sf which represents 4 neighbors, hunters view, potrero hill, sunny dale [inaudible] privilege tooz be here on behalf of the mayor. I love this young peep lt and want to thank you cheer suhr. We started this with the communities were experiencing too much violence and wanted the young people to be mart of the solution and wanted to think of career path ways for these brilliant young people t. Is my privilege to find 40 or so of the best and brightest people and without further ado ill bring up morken. We took a cohort model because young people learn well in teamsism we know the young men and women work well together but sometimes better separately. First Morgan Tucker who is the team lead for the females will come up. Thank you thank you theo. I will sometimes take pictures of you guy. Welcome morgan my name is morgan tuck er and fts the cohort lead for the female group of girl and throughout the summer we worked on a project to benefit the Community Relationship between theplice z people in the community so we came up with different ideas using social media like a app or instugram and face book to look and see what we can do to help bring more peep people in and would like to introduce my girls to come up. Thank you for coming, my name is [inaudible] this is my cohort that consists of melody, [inaudible] today we would like to talk about the recommendation my cohort and i came windup to help better the relationship between the community and San Francisco Police Department. We believe that in order to better this relationship we need to be able to share stories and get opinions that involve the events and actions in the community and i would like to have [inaudible] come up and explain how. Thank you. Welcome my name is aleana [inaudible] i created a app to for police to keep up with the people in the community by giving them a safe place to connect anonymously about issues we are facing in our communities. This app will hopefully improve connection between the police and communities they serve. The app also have a unspoken voices column for families who face tragdied and would like to address the problems; next i would like to bring up [inaudible] appleton to introduce the [inaudible] thank you aleana. Good afternoon. My name is mellied [inaudible] what i came up with is a instugram page for the sfpd to connect more with their communities. We thought as a group a way to connect to the communities is interact with them and we felt like an instugram page is a good way to interact with them by hosting commune tazty events and have them more often so if you want a sports day we recommend you can do them twice a month so the community can see you are consistent in what you doing and trying to create a bond. That is what the Instagram Page is about what is the name of the account . Sfpd gives back. I followed it i did want know it was yall. That is good, i was glad. There are great pictures on it. If you want the instagram ask me because i got it. Chief suhr will ask for that later. At first people were not following the Instagram Page until i fallowed a bunch of famous people and got more followers. I posted a picture of a Police Officer, part of the sfpd and already got a comment saying how they feel safe being here, but i dont comment back because im not a real officer, you know, but think it will be helpful. Got it, thanks melody. Good evening everyone, my name is [inaudible] for our third recommendation was a face book page. Face book is not only a place where people socialize with friends and families but it is great space to connect with officers in the community. It gives residence a chance to post special and positive moments they captured interacting with officers and it gives them a chance toface book is also a place where it helps bring awareness to current and future events which will not only help residence feel security, it will also give them a chance for interacting with the officers. It will give people a chance to be open minded by cooperating or working with or socializing with Police Officers in the community while also creating a chance of bonding. Already with the Facebook Page being like said red by over 100 people we have a feeling it will not only help change the perception of officers in the sfpd but officers all over the world. Lastly, the Facebook Page gives a opportunity for communities to voice their opinion on a broader level giving more details for feedback and other comments that they have with the work the sfpd is doing in their community. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. There is a skit to show how the app works qu how it can be used in different ways. This is called [inaudible] do you want to explain the moony thing . They had a accident and didnt know how to pronounce muni, so they said moony. When they hear moony they mean muni . Ya. Gregs a quite young man gets robbed on moony. [inaudible] the Police Capture the 3 teens but they are released the same week due to lack of witnesses. Greg requests a [inaudible] his friends tell him about a app he can use to give anonymous [inaudible] greg downlouds the app and once he sees how it is set up he tells the police what happened and he has proof from moony. Hi, my name is [inaudible] i also created a skit to show another way you can use the app. The video dont have sound so you have to read the words and watch closely. [music] [applause] welcome. Hello, my name is [inaudible] we ran around the community asking questions. The first question we asked is how do you feel about the connection between the community and Police Department. The answer i got back [inaudible] stay away from the police because they were the bad people but as i grew up i know they were not so bad. The second question we asked is what are your thoughts about sfpd in general and the answer i got backshe is also part of the sfpd. I love being a part of the sfpd, there are so many good things we can do like helping people. [inaudible] ability to make connections some people dont have. I like going to different communities, meeting and talking to new people and seeing what i can do for them. Thank you. Thank you. The next cohort coming up is the Recruitment Group and want to acknowledge [inaudible] worked a little with the groups oen their video and they will show a snippet and share the link later. [inaudible] do you want to come up . Hello everybody. This is a initiative to transformsorry. My name is Jerry Johnson and my group came with a short film sla and documentary. We realize if there isnt a grood relaceship between the recruiters and recruited the compan wont work. We found out interviewing a bunch of people throughout the communities and here are a couple of their opinions and after this well give our opinions on how you can better recruit people or help the recruitment process go more smoothly. [inaudible] [unable to hear video] do you feel like police protects you . I think that is their goal, but no. I think that was [inaudible] but in the different communities that really need people to actually be there for them they dont have that. [singing] i say yes and no because yes, you [inaudible] you might hate me because im black or something. [inaudible] i know that is not true for all. How have your experiences been with police . [inaudible] bad experiences with the police. Getting pulled over and not being explained what im pulled over for. [inaudible] i was in a Interrogation Room and that is it. [inaudible] what are wrour thoughts on diversity on the Police Department . [inaudible] being able to experience it and being a officer in that environment where [inaudible] i can talk to them better about it because i have seen it done. I want to see more African American people who came from [inaudible] change because they talk about the police and [inaudible] would you join the Police Department . [inaudible] i think about it sometimes. I sure would because the retirement is [inaudible] [laughing]. [inaudible] if that is what they want to do, let them do it. [inaudible] they never called me back so i gave up on that. What could we do to get people like you in the force . [inaudible] respond to something [inaudible] they can come out and impact day to day and you get to know them outside of just [inaudible] it creates a relationship beyond [inaudible]. We got to have a better relationship and have more programs going on. [inaudible] like boys and girls club in the ymca, talking about the youth and let them know they are on their side and they can be trusted. More involve would the community. I feel [inaudible] they try to give Police Officers to come around and [inaudible] Community Involvement is a big thing. [inaudible] to the community and try to encourage people to pursue a career in Law Enforcement. Thanks for watching, hope you take this information into consideration to make Law Enforcement even more diverse. [applause] hello. Welcome my name is [inaudible] and my recommendation to help make people in the sf communities more safer is to have young youth and young teens between the grades of k12 go to Different Police stations arounds the city. At least one or two a month to get a feel of how the Police Community is. Thank you mob nob my name is [inaudible] and my recommendation is to have local Police Officers coach local teams to get more acquainted thanks my recommendation for the police to have better [inaudible] is for the police to go into the local Youth Centers or where they have Community Meetings ask people sit down and talk to them and get a good idea what is like to join the police force. My name is angle and my recommendation is to do at least one bbq every other month. Angel, i think we all agree as long as we are all invited [inaudible] my recommend is to use social media to make the police more positive word. Thank you stefon. Hi, my name is [inaudible] my recommendation for the Police Department is have a little and big brother mentorship program. Thank you. Hi, my name is tray von and my recommendation is to see more Police Officers doing Community Service whether that starts with [inaudible] because that is what i work on and [inaudible] i figured that is one of the best ways. Thank you travon. Mike [inaudible]. Mine is follow windup qualified candidates and thank you for watching and hope you take all this into consideration of what me and my colleagues said. Thanks mike. Thank you jerry. Thank you jerry and your cohort. Thank you gentlemen. Mr. Wilson you are up and your crew. Good evening, hope everything is good and thank you for taking into consideration all the projjects before us. My group is working on a documentary and took [inaudible] wanted to do police and Community Relations so we created the same thung, a documentary. It is a little lenty, there are 2 sides, one side is giving the Police Officers constructive s criticism and the other is what the community can do. How long is it . Like 13 minutes, is that okay . Ya. Greg suhr, doesnt have anywhere to be. Hello. My name is [inaudible] im part of [inaudible] and in the beginning of the summer we were present would the topic of Police Officers and the community and how the relationship recollect there was a lot of tension and hatred, so we thought of ways to improve this between the community and Police Officers. We went to different districts in San Francisco, fillmore, bay view, Richmond District and while doing that we interviewed pipeal of all age groups and different races. Sorry, i lost where i was. I guess that is pretty much. We did a bunch of interviews and you will hear lots of good advice the people will tell you about and Police Officers that feel accepting to the criticism so hope you enjoy the video. Thank you. [unable to hear video]. Before we started the project our cohort wanted to create a documentary on a issue not a is prevalent in San Francisco and the United States. The negative tension that occurs between Police Department and communities we entered several different neighborhoods around San Francisco and spoke with [inaudible] our objectives is find positive and negative [inaudible] when we asked them what the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the word police, here are their reactions. [inaudible] they dont like black people sometimes and [inaudible] i hear police and the first thing that comes to mind is stress. [inaudible] a little bit of safety. Tension. [inaudible] somebody getting shot. We can see there are all most positive thoughts when people hear the word police and that shouldnt be the case. In order to solve the problem we need to dig deeper. We want on to ask people what Police Officers are doing poorly in the neighborhoods and what can they do to improve on. [inaudible] they judge. Improve on their word, they can improve on [inaudible] there should be a way to communicate. Instead of doing more problem solving and [inaudible] i dont know who i would go to. [inaudible] i feel they are unequipted to bond to communities and dont understand. [inaudible] Police Officers frole the neighborhood a majority of people relate to people in the neighborhoods. We felt more people would be open to [inaudible] bridge the gap between Police Officers and people in the community. [inaudible] we need somebody to work with us and not be against us. We need Police Officers who are trained to use their weapon. [inaudible] active effort to engage in the community. [inaudible] every Police Officer should come outside and [inaudible] at least get a feel of it. People want to do something to help. People dont want police to come in and swoop in and try to save the day. [inaudible] makes it more difficult [inaudible] as the bad guy which they hate. [inaudible] every room they walk into [inaudible] there are the police like i dont want to be around [inaudible] i think the person to talk to believe [inaudible] on foot rather than in the squad cars the Community Relationship improves between Police Officers and locals. [inaudible] before we started doing it [inaudible] they got to know us as people versus just the uniform. It made a huge influence on the people [inaudible] we can walk for a hour at a time and you are just out talking to regular joe blow citizen another issue that needs to be resolved is who we choose to be Police Officers. People woo choose to be Police Officers are background in the military and so on and i think to a extents one of the challenges we are facing is it hard to transition from the [inaudible] if you take a young Police Officers that for example has been in the military for 3 or 4 years fighting for their life and in iraq and they choose to become a Police Officers you need to acknowledge the last 4 years of their life their reaction to danger is use their weapon however thrrks is one Issue Community and Police Officers think need to be improved if we do a better job training the officers than issues about profiling and so forth we believe will [inaudible] military training that they get, the first thing they are told is if you show up in all your gear you are already escalating the situation and guaranteed a violent outcome and dont think that is [inaudible] it is about teaching the officers that you are reacting to [inaudible] the activ ity and not the color of the individuals skins however it isnt just the Police Officers that need improvement, the Community Needs to do their part as well. People said they need to start changing their sevls in order to see change in the community. In order for San Francisco to change lets have police and communities work together. [inaudible] we do need a lot of education, but at the same time the Community Needs a lot of education. Selling drugs, [inaudible] we have a red zone and [inaudible] nobody respects the children. We as individual citizens [inaudible] nobody cares. We need to give our kids and young people [inaudible] we need to get them to understand [inaudible] as a community this is something i like to tell everybody, we got to come together to work things out. Just because now there is a huge divide between the police and communities. I think we start at a very young age teaching kids how to handle problems. We all have problems [inaudible] but it is the way you interact. Sit down, talk about it. Dont necessarily go get a gun and shoot somebody. That wont solve anything, it just creates a continuous circle. [inaudible] Community Relations and relationship with the police, about the time we see them as outsiders [inaudible] we need to hold them accountable as well as hold ourselves accountable as far as what is going oon in the [inaudible] it doesnt [inaudible] abuse their power. [inaudible] they look like a suspect and approach them and look like they are reaching [inaudible] understand this is [inaudible] not necessarily a murderer trying to kill a black person, it is both ways. It is a really difficult shot. Right now i think the job isnt necessarily meeting the expectations that society [inaudible] i used to do [inaudible] [inaudible] in the communities talk about [inaudible] dont be afraid to talk or ask questions. We are human [inaudible] i think just say hi, how are you doing, you will bridge that gap. There is only so many of us and cant have eyes on everything that goes on the city. [inaudible] we p you cant accept criticism from the public then we are in the wrong business because sometimes we deserve criticism. [inaudible] start at a young age the idea that police are all bad people with hopefully deminsh. [inaudible] it never likei got to know the Police Officer [inaudible] this guy aint doing it for the camera, he is helping out all the time. [inaudible] closer to them so when issues arise that may be problematic we have a better relationship established already so we get better communication. [inaudible] we have a number of other programs [inaudible] as a African American who grew up [inaudible] the reason i got into the job is because [inaudible] i still cant remember his name helped me out. [inaudible] out doing what kids do, breaking windows and stuff like that and [inaudible] you cant keep doing what you doing. I always [inaudible] there is a lot of work to deeinate only in San Francisco but the United States as well when it comes to community and police relationsism hopefully as san franciscans we can come together with this change. I [inaudible] known for a lot of [inaudible] i love our community to see we are friends and [inaudible] building better relationships in communities of color and the police. I think any city can do it, we can. [music] [applause] how are you doing . [inaudible] my name is leroy [inaudible] a few of my colleagues and i came up with associations with the community [inaudible] one of suggestions that parent come together with policeman and they trade ideas how they can help their kids get up off the streets. Thank you, leroy. Hi, how you doing . My name is Rickey Johnson and i recommend the police to have more big brother and Little Brother Program and big sister and Little Sister Program for the community. Thank you, rickey. My name is [inaudible] and my recommendation is take classes on how to be a more [inaudible] be respectful to one another as well as learning general respect. Everyone should be respected as a individual but no one should be [inaudible] thank you, zang. Hi, my name is novel. One of the recommendations that i have is to have Police Officers should commit to a certain amount of Community Service hours. Thank you novel. Hi, michael [inaudible] i recommend more Police Officers parole foot. Thank you, michael. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is [inaudible] my suggestion is that [inaudible] for the Police Officer s and the community. Thank you thank you [inaudible] my name is con rad lee and for my recommendation is for more Police Officers to approach us in a more passive manner. Thank you conrad. Hello im daniel. Just to wrap everything up we want to thank you for watching the video and hope you take everything into consideration that we worked on and that engagement and communication is a key to best relations so thank you very much and have a great evening. Thank you, daniel. [applause] that was the final group to present tonight. Again, tremendous grat frud the opportunities to work with you all this summer and just in that short time frame of 8 weeks you can see they were hard at work. I do want to give a shout to commander sullivan and commander manx. Commander ocell vun is amazing helping organize the visits and the visit to the academy and tactical and the department made a huge impact just going to the crime scene unit at 850. Understanding it is more than just the officers in the car and getting the connections and getting to knew folks first hands maigs a difference. I want to thank president loftus and chief suhr and also want to acknowledge paul hendertion. He had a cohort that did work around prop 47 and have 1 thousand followers on the social media, so you need to step it up a bit. I would like to ask the commission to gave round of applause to these young people, they did an amazing job. I will let mr. Miller [inaudible] thank you so much. Bl dave us, i know the challenges facing the communities are not solved over night. I want to thank cheer shirr z commander osullivan. We had a middle school group of young man. Commander osul vun thank you so murch. We thank you the partnership of inPolice Department to pry to make the communities safer so thank you all very much. This is justall in all we had close to 70 or more than 70 and that is a picture book to share and take a look at the folks participating and dont know if mr. Hendserson wanted to say anything. Since i vamicrophone. I just want to congratulate the kids. It is great we are hear list toong this but want to congratulate them because i know how hard they worked all summer. I remember summers, it wasnt necessarily what i wanted to do is do work and to be this focused all throughout the summer and come consistently to work with us adults on something i think is important and something they think is important and that is reflected in the idea s we see today, it is a a big deal. I want to thank the kids on the work they did and supporting us and i loved they had thousands of followers already on social media. Hopefully we are friends with everybody and facebook friends and hang out. I think the ideas we got here are really powerful and impactful and will change what Public Safety looks like for the city and communities that they live in, so thank you all so much and the kids. Thank you, mr. Henderson. I want to open up to my fellow commissioners to ask questions or share thoughts. Before i do that i want to thank cheer sure for his leadership, commander osullivan and commander [inaudible] officer jason johnson, shareal davis [inaudible] this literally was such a Family Affair and theo, in particular the kids that you brought to us, the recruitment efforts you did and the way you thought to give had kids the opportunity and the courage it takes. Not everything Police Department in american will welcome youth most ravages with violence and say can you give ideas how we can do better so im very grateful for the courage it takes to ask that question and listen to the results and they have been stunning and know my colleagues probably want to Say Something or ask questions along those lines. Doctor joe. So, i want to thank all the young people for getting involved and the one thing i dont like is whenthis gives you a chance to see the other side, you know . Malcome x once said find out for yourself. When you get involve jd find out for yourself you can make informed decision squz this process is giving you information and allot of folks get into trouble because of misinformation or lack of information so now you know more than before and that is great. I assume it will influence your thoughts and actions and then you will be able to tell somebody else something when they Say Something because they dopet dont have the information you have, but you got to get involved to do that and that is why im proud of you. The process of this tooks you to the next level because that is the process it took me to so congratulations for getting in there and finding out for yourself. [inaudible] i want to thank the groups. It is fun meeting with you before the Commission Meetings and you all learn one thf first lessens why the Police Officers we want to recruit. You want to help others. The ability and desire to help others is what i see come out of the group. Great videos and good to hear what the people are saying. I made this invitations, people have been by the law firm and want to encourage you to become a lawyer so if you want to become a lawyer come to my law firm and ill introduce you to lawyers. There is a lot of competition. Commissioner hwang im so impress would the product you put on today. I have been on this commission about the year and shared with the chief, every week we have folks come here and point the finger and point blame and this is a group that dug deep and looked for constructive criticism and [inaudible] what is going through the back of my head is what is the next step . I think what you have done is kbround breaking for our entire country. This is a problem facing the entire nation so what can we do to take your recommendations and move it to the next step because dont know if anyone is talking about this stuff now in the same way you talk about the issue so really commend you for the important work you have done and moved by the stuff you put together. Can i say to thatchief suhr i will reach out to roena orrisa to see about meeting you because i said specifically to the young ladies if they do a good job and impress the commission there is a look how to keep this going through school year jz move on the recommendations, the bbq and [inaudible] young people to help ororganize and get the right people in the move so hopefully this doesnt die in committee but move forward. Shirly stold my thunder so i would say the old saying is the first outf of the jar is hardest is that a saying . Has anyone heard that . If it isnt than are made it up. Im so impressed how smart and talented this group is in putting together what you put together in the time. I see old friends in the room. One och the offers i make to all young people that finish a summers work is anyone that apply for a job now anywhere you want and want a chance and want a reference from the chief of police, i will give you one. And im accountable to that. Im not saying it will get you the job, but it shouldnt hurt. But for sure i have written down and taken a ton of notes, we would love to keep this going and take it city wide, so one of the things that is suggested by other groupicize to have ambassadors around the city that already have [inaudible] i would love to commission this group as ambassadors to convene the forums and get the bbq and Community Engagement going on all around town and use you as point paired with cops so that again, we can just do the whole friends thing and get better connections. I tell you, really impressive and thank you and to president loftus and chairal and theoand everybody es, better than anybody would have imagined and we were hoping for a lot so, great. Thank you, chief. I just wanted to thank you for doing what you are doing. One of the things that one of the recommendation i heard was being a big brother, big sister concept, but beyond the Police Department, you need to support each other and you need to insure this is just the beginning of a real long relationship because by supporting each other, you are going to insure no one is going to tell you you cannot do this. And, i really encourage especially the young women to think about a profession in the police force. So, congratulations and look forward to seeing you one day here. My last comment, i was hoping to put michael car the new director of Work Force Development on the spot. Chief suhr maybe we can work with him on the Ambassador Program and the notion that young people are ambassadors in the community and taking the knowledge they learned this summer to recruit or make people aware of both sides of the badge. Great idea but you will have to be on the spot. The chief feels strongly it isnt a badge, it is a star so that is a Cultural Exchange moment. He corrected me infront of hundreds of people. It is muni not moony. I am totally saying moony from now on. So, is the last thing well wrap it up, i just want to say when we started talking about the program because when the chief said throw it together, we did. We have been in a conversation about how to do the most and remember one thing that was said to me is what will these kids do like 8 weeks, isnt isnt that a job . It was really, we took a chance on all of you that the 8 wook squz what you were paid to do under mrs. Dave us and theoes tutelage would have results. You blew me aware. There are videos and things on the community and narratored and there was the funny thing with the moony thing even though it was a accident, but there are people that discounts youz because of the age. You just blew us away. It was honest, it was fair, it was thoughtful and there is absolutely nothing more that i could ever ask for as someone who considered policy and does this every wednesday and sometimes hears the hard stuff but rarey something as thoughtful you put together. This is how they really are and just dont get a chance for it to be show cased, that is why this is important. That is how they really are. When they have a chance to become involved with the process and give them the opportunity so kudos to everybody for giving the opportunity so we are not one and done, the chief agreed to sit down and work with the commission, what we want to do now is get back to you all about what we do with your recommendations. You have my commitment and the chief will write a letter of recommendation and this commission will take your recommendations and look at them and work on them and report back to you on what we do and do hope the process continues in the way that this continues to be a relationship as we move beyond and you guys all go back to school. Thank you. [applause] so, now is the part where i say sergeant, call the next line item. We didnt take action. My City Attorney wants to say any Public Comment . Hearing none, Public Comment is now closed. Sergeant please call next line item. Kevin. Hello. I just want to say thank you for giving these young people a opportunity. I had a chance to be a part of the whole process and being behind the scene squz being a part of their whole engagement, it was interesting for us to go to the new Police Department on 3rd and just sort of interact with some of the technicians and other people that are behind the scene and i was sort of new for me too but just to see them interact with all the Law Enforcement activity and community. More importantly how to [inaudible] about Law Enforcement and what that means and some of the young people are bright. They are amazing. I had a chance to know these young people so im looking for some really bright thing tooz come forth and think this experience sort of is part of that foundation to grow and have a whole different perspective on the work that needs to be done and do it in a positive way so thank you very much and i appreciate this whole process. Thank you. Sergeant. Item 3 c, reports and announcements. 3 a, chief report discussion. Review of rent activities and presentation of Second Quarter 20 [inaudible] findings and recommendation and ois summary good evening commissioners and public. Ill be very brief because i know that everybody is still celebrating that. We did have a sad incident occur on thursday morning about 5 30, we had a collision at lum bard and richardson where a one vehicle rear ended another. It wasnt known at the time why the second vehicle was acting the way that it was. The 2 drivers got in a pedestrian pursuit around the block and then the second driver walked off. When officers encountered the subject he was a very large man, he beat both the officers into the hospital. One of them suffering from a concushion. He continued east bount on lum bard and other officers responded and took the suspect into custody. Some time after being hand cuffed he went into medical distress. [inaudible] the suspect was not able to be resusitated and passed at the scene. One officer suffered a concushion and is recovering, the other officer suffered injuries to arms and legs. It was discovered the suspect committed a homicide in Sonoma County about a hour before the incident. We will wait for a toxicology report and cause of death. It is a very sad situation but the person ciltded in sonoma was in his mid90s.

The recommendation of the fdrb is the chief review and approve the recommendations. You have the letter from had chiefs aufs as well as the reports submitted by internal affairs and believe you received those as well. The next fdrb is scheduled for tuesday september 22 and that is the status of the last fdrb. [inaudible] shooting investigations i will tell you this report was prepared before the occurrence on july 26, 2015 so we vanew case not on the report and paperwork you have and that is because it was completed prior. The Previous Report to you was presented may 6 and since that report 3 of the investigations were presented to the fdrb, i just described them to you and they are now closed and signed off by the chief, presented to you, you received the reports, and these cases are completely closed. In the middle of july we did receive 2 new charging [inaudible] for officer involved shooting 13005 and 13007. We received 2 from the das office mids july so those will bepresented at the next fdrb. As of this report, this report there were 15 open investigations, 16 at the time. 2 of the investigations as i said the department received the District Attorney charging kiz in 2 of the caiz cases. Those caseerize being concluded. The internal Affairs Investigation is being concluded and presented next fdrb. That leaves 13 crimial investigations on going and all in revie by the office of District Attorney so the new case which well talk about tonight in closed session, but that case is an active and ongoing investigation. Well talk about it later but that one is being investigated criminally in san mateo county. Just in summary of where we are at year by year date, 2013 investigations, two will disappear from this list, 006 and 009. That leaves 003, 5, 7 and 8 open. They are on the same status awaiting discharging decision afor from the District Attorney. 2014, 14004 was closed at the last fdrb, all follow up is completed. That is a closed case and will disappear from thelace. That leaves 14002 [inaudible] awaiting a charging decision. Sergeant can i ask you a question because there is a lot of zeros and want todoes that mean that there was 15 open cases, 2 we got a letter from the da, declining to file criminal charges that means that officially closes out the process and the 13 remaining are they all at the d as office . We have done all our works is t is just the 14 open caseerize awaiting decisions . We are in a Holding Pattern awaiting the final decisions. Everything is cued up based on what we understand from the case. Once we get a final charging decision well finish the criminal investigation that is a matter of a couple weeks or days and i will finish our investigation so it will be presented athe 2 we have all eter for will be presented at the next fdrb. Anything else it if we get it a couple weeks before well present it and it will be ready togo thank you 2015, same boat with 4, 2015 cases in the report. The 15005 criminal 5 well talk about later and that is active and on going investigations both administratively personal investigations and also criminal. Questions . Colleagues . Um, i do. The only question i have has to do withi know we talked to chief about part of the concern i talked about for a long time, i know commissioner [inaudible] and my colleagues on the commission for some time said there is improvement for the amounts of time for the case tooz be resolved. Is difficult on the officer and potentially families member frz someone they lost. I see smf thocases are 3 years olds so chief i know we talked about sometimes what comes out is a policy recommendation or training issue. I know there was discussion in there and dont know where we are it. If there is a opportunity to have a preliminary analysis recognizing we cant control how long it takes the District Attorneys office to [inaudible] based on that conversation that happened at the fdrb and dont recall where we are in advancing that conversation. I spoke to [inaudible] about putting in awith regard to any training or policy issues not to make a final determination as to policy and discussed to convening such a body great the bottom line is it is in progress and being kicked around and we are getting it worked out so it is something we are trying to do. Good, i look forward to hearing more about that. There were policy recommendations and it is just great that those come out of it and the sooner we can get those in place the better understanding what is frustrate frg me and all of us is we wait for other agencies to complete something that would otherwise be complete. One thing we have done and have been able to do where we see we are able to bifurcate something or send somebody to training so the individual has a defixancy or something we can improve or get better at, we can take care of that. We bifurcated cases where we said there is a issue we can deal with internally much quicker on a policy issue separate that pursuit case for example that had a officer not involved in the pursuit is one we talked about. Not involved in the pursuit was the [inaudible] learn from the pursuit and deal with issues from that. We are trying to do what we can in that way and trying to set something up that works and maintains the officers rights and Everything Else that works so that we can identify these things and get direction and quick feedback where we are able to i notice we are going in the right direction, the first case is stwo and a half years old, the second 2 years and the last is one year old. The 13 open oiss are the pieces we can involve and the ultimate fooinding is testament to your work sergeant so i think for take thg same questions from me every time. Colleagues, any other questions . It is better than it used to be he says the exact same thing every time. [inaudible] pass the resolution thank you sarge ergeant any question frz the chief .

[inaudible] acknowledged the policy has to balance a number of competing priorities and i was grateful to observe the discourse and dialogue so colleagues you will get the minutes from the meeting and will know who was there and what was asked and hope this will happen at the onedf august. Well do 2 Community Meeting where the public weighs in but it is good to observe. I dont play a formal role other than watching deliberate and think they will give food for thoughts. Thank you chief and members of the commands staff for handling that. We had a good meeting with the parole special. As many know the Police Commission basically supervisors the parole special program. We are involved in their discipline, the rules and procedure, picking the uniforms, the handling and background check frz hiring. President loftus was great, she met with myself and member thofz command staff and had a line frup the parole officer squz discussed issued about compliance and had them at the newplice head quarters, i think a lot of them enjoyed being there. We told them this is a Important Program but they have to follow thg rules and the city tone was present with us to explain the same thing. Thank you president oft us. Im the liaison and try to make the Program Better to insure they are trained. Prior to 3 years ago the Commission Voted to let them go to the range and now have them do advanced officer training at the academy. It is a long standing effort and thanks for president loftus for being there. Itb met a lot for the parole specialist to be the attention we gaichb it doctor marshall i wasnt at the last Community Meeting so chief, did you report on our trip to he wasnt there. I wasnt there either. This is our opportunity. I just want to say that the chief and i took a trip to washington dc, i guess it is about a month now, 3 weeks to the conference on Police Community relations and it follows what we are talking about here. It was 80 Police Chiefs from around the country, big and small jurisdictions and the interesting thing is each department brought a Community Person with them. It wasgave a pretty good snap hp shot of how people feel about what is going on in the country and got to [inaudible] for putting the conference on. They have done conferences i have been to before but there is nothing more timely in the relation between the police and community and take that topic on. It was a unique format, the Community Members speak first which took a while and then had the chiefs of police chic second and the third is a meeting of the minds. I thought it was great and i was everything i heard was indicative, we want toeverybody wants to make things better. The one thing that does come out in a session like that iswhat im going to say is makes sense to everyone, but whatever happens with regard to policing the community in a area of the country effects everywhere in the u. S. Nobody looks at jurisdiction, all they see is uniform. It is what happened in South Carolina or chicago or baltimore. [inaudible] and [inaudible] put together a report, which would be great for folks to take a look at when it comes out squand i think oakland chs there, sacramento and stauckten and bart was there. As a follow up, the chief and i talked about host agregional sort of piece to follow up. Lastly ill say the chief is a great traveling companion. He is fun to be on the road with. He is fun for me, i dont know about the rest of you. It was a great trip, but it was alsoit was notthere were uncomfort moments. It was by no means like a puff piece. There was raw feelings and anxiousness, but it was good conversation and hear thg kids talk tonight, it really is a situation that is playing out all over the country and regardless where it is going on it is all the same thing, there is just greater need for staying in the conversation, so i look forward to following up and having a more regional discussion. The bay area was well represented and california all and all. La was there too. It wasnot a lot of people always go to those things but the fact this was this well attended demonstrates it is a priority as it should be for everybody there are about 170 people from the department of justice there. It was a huge huge gathering and the fact he got all the voices in the room, he is very skilled with getting everybody i have never seen [inaudible] he got called out by a couple people in the room when they didnt think he was facilitating it right and he gave it. I donts think he had much choice. We did highlight a number of things we are doing in San Francisco and talked about this group there, so we put our 2 cents in to things we are doing here to make thijs better thank you for representing us there dr.

I want to recognize sfgovtv that make pos all of our meetings available online, as well as a transcript please call item no. 2. Progress update on the Treasure Island transportation Implementation Plan information item. This is our only item of substance. Its an information item and we have some residents here from the island as well, who will be speaking at Public Comment. Thank you. Good morning, rachel hyatt, principal Transportation Planner. I have an update on the Transportation Planning for the island, and please do ask me clarifying questions as we go along. The Transportation Planning work for the redevelopment of yerba buena and Treasure Island has been going on for over ten years now. The first Transportation Plan was adopted in 2006 as part of the Development Term sheet between the master developer and set out the needs for Treasure Island and yerba buena and some strategis to meet the Transportation Needs as the island is developed. The Transportation Management act, California State Assembly bill 981 was adopted in 2008, which authorized the program and most recently the Development Agreement adopted in 2011, included the latest version of the Treasure Island transportation Implementation Plan, which echoed the goals and strategies that were authorized in ab 981. We started our work following the development the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency and we have been working in partnership with them to craft a plan for implementing the strategies that were called for in the Development Agreement and the ceqa work. The key challenges to improving Treasure Island transportation are mainly threefold and these have been recognized since the start of the planning. First is how to minimize new congestion on the bay bridge . When the island grows to 20,000 residents, managing the effective potential new tract on the bridge was seen as a key challenge. Then in addition, how to provide new Transit Services . Serving the island and provide a level of Transit Service that will really provide a feasible option for people to get on and off the island, both to and from San Francisco and the east bay and how to pay for that new transit, particularly the ac and Ferry Service. There needs to be a dedicated, but committed source of operating funds. The original 2006 plan, the 2008 Assembly Bill and the 2011 titip identified these four key goals with corresponding strategis to address those three challenges. The first is the design of the development itself. The vision is for real complete neighborhood on Treasure Island. Right now folks dont have sort of grocery options, for instance, on the island. But to be well, the vision for when Treasure Island is redeveloped is to have all of these services that a San Francisco neighborhood has, and a Street Network that is complete. So complete network of sidewalks. All of the new homes will be 15minute walking distance from a transportation hub, where the regional Transit Services and the localisland serving Shuttle Services will meet. Highquality transit on and off the island. The commitment is to provide new regional Transit Services between San Francisco and the east bay, using ac transit direct between Treasure Island and downtown oakland. A Ferry Service supplementing muni between San Franciscos Ferry Terminal and Treasure Island and transportation service. Minimizing traffic impacts from the development. There is a number of Strategies Incorporated in the plan. There is a parking maximum of 8,000 parking spaces, residential parking spaces. All of the parking will be managed by price. And the costs of parking will be unbundled from the lease or purchase of homes. So people who want to live on the island without owning a car will not have to pay for that cost as part of their renter, or mortgage payments. And finally a congestion toll on and off the island to encourage folks who are driving on and off to do so during offpeak times, and then finally to be an antitransit and finally to provide a Revenue Source, combined with the transit pass purchases and parking fees to fund the Regional Transit operations. This map depicts the transit that services that are planned. The new Transit Service between the east bay and Treasure Island, the Ferry Service between the Ferry Terminal and the island, and new muni service. The level that is called here is really excellentlevel of Transit Service. Its many times more than what Treasure Island is served by today, and it is the level that San Francisco is most transitaccessible neighborhoods enjoy. And so that is the commitment to provide that level of Transit Service to make this system work. Where we have started is by looking at what it would take to enable this program to be successful over the longrun. So as buildout, after all of new residents are on the island, 2030, what sort of policies do we expect that need to be in place to ensure that the program meets its transportation goals and its revenue goals . We need to achieve a 50 transit mode share for trips on and off the island and we need to make sure that the costs are covered, particularly the costs of the new Regional Transit. So with the work that were presenting today is our sense of what it will take to make sure that the program is successful. Then going forward, there is a number of other areas that we need to work on next. They include how the program is phased in . So development will be phased in through at least 2030. How do we approach that . How do we phasein in the various pieces the program, aligning the need for toll revenue and parking revenue with the need for new Transit Service and making sure that is scaled to the new needs of new residents as they come in. Designing other benefits, such as the transit pass. All households in the marketrate units will be required to purchase a transit pass monthly as part of their homeowner dues, as part of think their rent. We can design a number of benefits into that and that is something that we want to work on over the next few years. Working with bay bridge toll policy and i will talk about that in the presentation, another next step making sure that the bay bridge policy and Treasure Island policy are compatible. We have been doing outreach. We did one round of outreach last fall, mainly using a survey to try to get the word out about who we are, and let people know that we are here and raise awareness of the project. We reached about 15 of the residents, pretty good Response Rate for outreach survey. We are really in[tkebts ]ed to indebted to some of the Housing Partners on Treasure Island, who helped to offer and distribute the survey for us. It is still online, if folks watching are interested in taking it at timma. Org. Some of the things that we have learned from that that there is a great deal of interest in improved transit, particularly east bay transit and ferry transit. At the same time, there is concern and frustrations with traffic issues. So there is a much higher rate of auto ownership on Treasure Island and yerba buena today than in San Francisco on average; which reflects the fact that in part that its hard to live on Treasure Island today without a car. Its not a complete neighborhood. There is not a highlevel of Transit Service. Frustrations or concerns around driving include congestion, costs of owning and maintaining a car, and finding parking. On the question well, so something that we observed there is that higherrate of auto ownership on Treasure Island. And folks on Treasure Island today spend higher share of their income on transportation than the average san franciscan. And we do think those two things are related; the higher auto ownership and the higher spending, or expenses on transportation. We do know that in california, lowincome households, who rely on driving are autodependent end up spending a lot more of their income on transportation than households that are able to use transit as their primary mode of transportation. We see one of the best, most effective ways to support a ffordability on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island is to support the ability for households to choose not to own a car, to carshed a second car or use carshare for their vehicle access. That would be a change from how it is today, there is no carsharing on Treasure Island today. This table shows the policies that we think are what it will take to make the Program Successful over the longrun. And what we recommend is a toll program that has a broadbase, but low tolllevel. We expect that before Ferry Service begins, there will be a period of time as development is being phasedin, where there is not a demand for ferry. And so the need for revenue is to support the onisland, the Shuttle Services, and the ac transit, the east bay service. At that point, the level of revenue that we would need is about a 3 peakperiod toll and something lower offpeak such as 1 each direction. We recommend that this toll be in place when there is a core during transit core hours of operation. When there is a transit option available. We want to credit folks driving from the east bay on to Treasure Island for what they have already paid at the bay bridge toll plaza and those drivers would not pay twice. Shuttles, transit, vanpools would be exempt. And we also recommend a Discount Program for lowincome households on the island. We want to craft or we sought out to craft a program that we could extend to all households in the lowmarket rate units or who qualify for belowmarket rate units and this would support travelers who are lowincome regardless of what mode they are taking. These graphs illustrate the tolllevel. In this case the tolllevel that we think we will need in the early years of the program, before Ferry Service begins. The blue line shows congestionlevels on the bay bridge during week days. The orange bar shows tolllevel that we think will raise sufficient revenue, and also encourage folks to drive during offpeak periods. When Ferry Service begins, there is still a lot of work that we are doing with the ferry operators and potential ferry providers to rightsize the Ferry Service. But our best estimate at this time of what it will take is about a 5 peak period toll and something lower offpeak. Some of the toll policies more closely related to meeting that 50 transit modeshare requirement over the longrun. For instance, our recommendation that there be a broadbase period to the toll, but lower tolllevel helps achieve that, especially linking the need for the revenue the temporal need for the revenue for the period that transit options are available. And also recommending no exemptions, for instance, for cleaner vehicles. Other parts of this policy are more closely related to raising enough revenue to pay for the Transit Services. Something i want to point out is recommendation for how the board could adjust the tolllevel annually in realtime based on changing needs. We would recommend a tolllevel adjustment policy, actually mirrored on mtas policy for adjusting munis fares so a function of inflation, but also transit costs. Let me talk a little bit more about our proposal around transportation affordability. We have looked at a couple of options. One option we considered and analyzed is the idea of a toll discount. This would be, for instance, for example, a 50 discount on the toll. We could extend this discount to households that qualify for muni lifeline pass, about 16 , 15 of the likely population of Treasure Island. Were not able to find a discount that particular approach to a discount would not be feasible for all of the households in the belowmarket rate units, which will ultimately be about a quarter of the population on Treasure Island. We wouldnt be able to achieve the modeshare target, or the revenue demands. We wouldnt be able to afford the level of Transit Service under that scenario. Something that we recommends an alternative, is a multimodal or transit Discount Program; that we would recommend extend to any household in the belowmarket rate units. The kinds of benefits that we would offer in this type of program include transitpass benefits, not just for well, providing a transit pass for the households in belowmarket rate units. The households in marketrate units will be required to purchase a monthly transit pass, but something that we want to make sure that we do is households in below market rate units have access to a monthly pass, as well as equivalent of lifeline fares on operators who dont currently offer that, ac transit and wheata. We would recommend a program where for transit trips taken by these households, toll credit as crew. This is models on a program that exists in los angeles. Their rewards program on l. A. Metros express lanes and the way this would work is like a sandwich card, essentially. For each trip taken on transit, credits towards a toll payment accrue. Other benefits we heard are interesting are bike share and we heard interest in the ability to use bikeshare on the island and we are committed to providing bikeshare on the island. Reducing some barriers to use of transportation technology, such as for folks who dont have a credit card, or who dont have a bank account and providing that account and even starting off folks accounts with a starting balance and discounts on things like carshare. Which will be a new service on the island as it develops and we would like to help increase access to. We do recommend the multi modal discount approach. It would provide incentives that are aligned with the overall goals of the transportation program, and would help support the meeting of that transit goal, the mode share goal. And the vision for Treasure Island as one of San Franciscos transitaccessible neighborhoods. We also do think its truly the most effective way to support affordability. That the burden of owning and operating, maintaining a vehicle is a true cost burden on lowincome households and to be able to achieve context where folks can choose to shed one or more of their cars. Its really an effective way to reduce the need for transportation spending. Ultimately we project that with a transit discount approach, households will end up spending less on transportation, even then with a toll discount approach. Its because of those costs associated with owning and operating a car. This picture shows the financial overall profile of the program at buildout year. So in 2030, this is what we project would be the financial profile of the program. About a 55 million annual cost, and this is the cost associated with providing that very high, and very significantlevel of Transit Service. The transit costs, the Regional Transit operating is the revenue need for the program. That is the cost. And then the main Revenue Source is from the toll. There are two other Revenue Sources or at least two. The transit pass purchases and parking fees. And we also expect to be able to obtain grantfunding, which will help offset the costs of the capital costs of the program. This picture focuses on the operating costs. Were doing outreach now this summer and will continue outreach through the rest of the summer, through september. We have done some focus groups with different folks on the island. So that some of the Housing Providers, organized focus groups for us. We had one with businesses on the island. The Housing Providers have been very helpful in linking us up with opportunities such as tabling the food pantry that is there. We plan to go back and have another Community Meeting in addition, to the one we participated in in july. This summer, with additional outreach in spanish and chinese and more business outreach. Based on the feedback that be get from outreach and your feedback today, we want to consider refinements to this proposal, and bring back a next iteration of the program this fall. Ultimately the schedule that were working with is to have the Program Operational when the first units are available for occupancy in 2019. So working back from that, were hoping to have some more clarity on the policy parameters of the program. So we can start designing it and working with bata and clipper to set up the systems to enable the transit pass and any sort of Discount Program, develop agreements and have be able to start raising revenue and providing all of that new service in 2019. Thank you, and i look forward to your feedback and questions. Any questions from commissioners . I just want to appreciate all of the work and thought that went in this. I think one of the most exciting things is that this is in many ways a laboratory for us to really try out and think about a lot of different Creative Ideas around congestion management, which is, i think, increasing on the minds of many san franciscans, notice not just those on Treasure Island and i also appreciate all of the different ideas and thoughts that went into particularly for our existing lowincome, and middleincome residents on Treasure Island. Ensuring that we arent impinging on their current incomes in order to get on and off the island. Because currently there arent very many ways. Its really muni or car. Those are really the two ways to get on and off the island. Its great to see how high muni usage is amongst residents. We have a lot more that we can do there and certainly im excited about the ferry. Many of these other options, along with bikeshare and carshare. I know there are a number of concerns from residents that are already there right now and have been offered housing through what was previously the Redevelopment Area plan. You know, have had conversations with the Transportation Authority, in terms of what are some ways of them being grandfathered in the program . And others . And i know they will come and speak in Public Comment regarding that. But i do think there are a lot of really great menus of options that were looking at and im really excited about seeing some of these actually occur. The one question that i had and it doesnt have to be addressed today. I think my thinking of the toll policy was going to be more of a fiveday a week program and seeing its sevendays a week. Im curious whether certainly for special events, i think it makes sense, when there are festivals and 4th of july and its actually very hard to get on and off the island on those day and its mainly tour ists coming in. Are there ways to make weekends more flexibility . So if there isnt a lot of on and off, there wont be tolling going on saturday and sunday . Yes. The reason that we recommended some portion of the weekend is because we do see congestion on the weekends certainly on the bridge so we started off with a recommendation that there be a toll in place when there is congestion on the bridge. And then to help sort of reduce the overalllevel of the toll by spreading the base of the toll. We subsequently recommend that during the week the toll be in place when transit has its core hours of operation. Right. Would i would recommend that the hours of operation of the toll be different on the weekends than during the week, because the travel patterns are different and transit levels are different and there are different periods of congestion. So perhaps what we come back with is the principle of toll hours of operation being distinguished during the week, and the weekends. So they would be different. And that they would be based on congestionlevel and transit availability, and need to be refined to be very closely linked to those two. When you say sorry, congest on the bridge, are you saying general congestion on the bridge or actual cars going on and off from Treasure Island to the bridge . Because i think it would be unfair to penalize the residents because of the east bay traffic to San Francisco, versus Treasure Island residents getting on the bridge. It should be linked to congestlevels on the bridge itself and not for instance at the toll plaza. So you are saying you are going to put a toll on Treasure Island residents leaving their home on the weekends to come into the city that they are part of, because a lot of east bay residents or other folks are on the bay bridge already . It would also and then the weekends it would likely be visitors coming to Treasure Island, driving to Treasure Island. I think that is problematic. I understand if it was a sensitivity for who was going on and off the ramps, you know . The on and offramps, on and off Treasure Island, but i dont think it should be based on the number of people on the bay bridge period. Okay well give this some more thought. Yes. I also think does it mean there will always be a cost to get on and off the bridge seven days a week . So even at its lowest point, maybe 1 and highest point 5. Is there ever going to bea anytime there is no cost at all because there is very little traffic . Yes, overnight, during the evenings, there would not be a toll. I would not support that. I could not support that. Im sorry, well have time for Public Comment. So there will be a time for members of the public. I cannot support a toll from 6 00 a. M. To 10 00 p. M. I think that is crazy, im sorry. I think that its okay during rush hour to encourage people to drive at different times. And certainly when we are seeing a lot of traffic on and off the ramps on Treasure Island. But there has to be time periods when there isnt congestion that we arent charging our own residents to get to the city that they are a part of. I think its really, really problematic. I do want to encourage of course, people to bike and take ferry, but were not imposing that same kind of impossession imposition on residents in our city. So i think we need to rethink that. Thank you. Commissioner wiener. Thank you. First of all, in terms of covering costs because the tolling was a pretty key component of the approval of the Treasure Island project when the board of supervisors approved it. And so of course we can always talk about some of the sort of precise details of the tolling and we want to be fair and equitable to everyone, but i think we also need to make sure that we are not deviating from some of the numbers that were underlying the approval of the project and the tolling was a part of that. So if were going to be exploring different options i think that has to be part of the conversation. There are tradeoffs to everything. I guess my question is in terms of the costs that are going to be incurred, how does the tolling link up with that . Because if you end up having shortfalls, then it has to be covered from somewhere. And so im curious to know i know there was a slide on that, but if you could in plain english talk about that, i would appreciate that. Sure. The purpose of having the toll is to raise the revenue for the Regional Transit operations. So one first obvious place is to look whether the level of Transit Service called for is needed or desired . Then there is grant sources will help us with capital costs, and we do expect and intend to obtain grantfunding for capital costs, but its really having a permanent, committed source of operating funding that is our challenge. For what . For the transit, operating funding for the ferry and the ac Transit Service. Right. And so if there isnt if we reduce toll revenue, then where does that money come from for that to make sure that we have strong Ferry Service, that were paying for ac Transit Service and so forth . Where does the money come from . We need to identify another funding source. So it comes from other transit projects or vision zero . It would be Transportation Authority funding . Where would the money come from if we had a shortfall because of a reduction in tolls . Good morning, executive director. Excuse me, commissioner wiener, we would have to analyze the options. To reduce the level of Transit Service. We could look at generating more funds from the other two major sources, which would be parking or perhaps other private sources, but for example, at this point on slide 25, the toll revenues are the majority of the lions share of the funding for the operation. At that point we just have to make a decision about whether we would be able to offer the level of service or lean on other services, whether parking fees, user fees or transit pass purchases. And were talking about what is it 8,000 Housing Units being built . Correct, 20,000 residents eventually. Another option would be that costs of services could go down over time and that allows to us monitor and rightsize the service. And remind me how many Housing Unitss are currently on Treasure Island today . About 2,000. So from 2,000 to 8,000. Correct. And so i think that [ inaudible ] excuse me, its 2,000 residents . So about a thousand units. About 700. The director of tihda is here. Going from 700 Housing Unitss to 8,000 and i want to make sure that were not making longterm decisions for 8,000 based on 700 residents today. Its one thing if we want to give special consideration to existing residents which i think is a conversation worth having, people who have lived on the island and have set up their lives in a certain way. And so sort of approach to providing support for those residents as we transition. But to Start Talking about significant toll changes on which this plan was based for the future 20,000 residents of this island, who when moving on to the island will now what the rules are, unlike the current residents who moved on under a different regime. I would have a potential issue with that. The last thing we want to do is take money that would be used to ensure the ferry i said this when we approved Treasure Island that we need a blood oath that the ferry system would be consistently good and reliable and to me, even though a lot of people will take buses the ferry will be the most efficient and easiest way for people to get into the city. And so i just want to be very careful and not be i dont want to dismiss i guess i have a different perspective than commissioner kim on that. You know, i know there is a pretty significant range of onpeak and offpeak pricing. The other piece of this is that he isly especially talking about 20,000 residents and the more those residents who have cars and driving regularly, that puts a lot of cars on to the bay bridge. And that is pressure and congestion on the bay bridge, and i know that were in discussions with the mtc and we dont necessarily have agreement. The mtc want a cut of the tolls because were using the mtcs bridge. Its not unreasonable that they would ask for a portion of that. I think that they would like our tolls to be higher than they are from the conversations that i have heard. Because they view it as its going to start putting a lot more cars on to the bay bridge. So i want to make sure as were making decisions and modeling around the tolls that were taking the bigpicture into account. That, to me, is very, very important. Thank you. I do want to while im here at the mic to recognize our partners, bob beck is the director of tihda and we appreciate his longstanding leadership and partnership on the project and mtc and bata and caltrans with the bay bridge and the future ramp operations and the metering. We really have been working very well and continue to collaborate with muni and the parking and transit start with ac transit. Thank you. Commissioner christensen . I think my colleagues covered most of my questions. I just wondered a small thing. To what extent is nonresidential traffic being considered . Entertainment . Hotels . Restaurants . Gatherings of any kind . I know in district 3 transit is planned 95, mondayfriday basis, but we have Fishermans Wharf and is it possible to predict at this stage what the other uses might be and what they might require . We know what some of the uses will be. And there are planned to be uses on the island that will generate recreational visitor trips, hotel, Convention Centers and there will be destinations on the island like an urban garden and bikeways on the island that we do think will generate a lot of visitor interest and visitor trips. We do need to have the Transit Services that support the visitor trips, as well as the residential trips. We expect resident trips will be the majority of travel. But we do also expect visitor tripmaking. And especially to take advantage of the bike paths, and open space that will be there. The tihda Board Members have given us feedback that certainly supporting the ability for folks to take their bikes on the ferry over from San Francisco to the island, to enjoy the open space is something that we should consider and account for, plan for. At this time, why dont we open up Public Comment. Good morning, becky, current resident and i have to say that the plan came from a long way from where it started. Originally it was just going to be the residents that had to pay the pricing and everything. So they have moved from that and we do appreciate that, but as supervisor kim said, when there is only a small percentage of time that we wont have to pay to get on and off the island, its very frustrating. One of the things that the current residents have said that they would like to be grandfathered in. That came up at our last Community Meeting which was the biggest attended Community Meeting in a long time because it was around the transit and congestion pricing. So there is concern by the current residents that were going to be the ones that have to pay for everything. As supervisor wiener said, a lot of us have been out there for a long time and lived one way. And why should we be the ones that have to pay for everything . Like this weekend, there is a major event, the gaelic Football National thing and something next door was saying this is a perfect time when they should be paying for some of the transportation stuff. So they have moved from just residents paying for it, but the only problem also is that they are only looking at lowincome people getting a break. There are some households that wont be lowincome, that are lowincome. I mean, i live in a household where three people are all retired. But were in a marketrate unit. So somehow that has to be looked at also. I look forward to keep working they have heard it from me and it was nice that they heard it from other residents finally, too. Thank you. Thank you. Any other members of the public . Seeing no further oh, if you would like to speak, please just stand up and line up. Im going to try to speak quickly because i usually get cut off at 2 minutes. Good morning commissioners and thank you for hearing my comments. My name is jeff klein, 16year resident on Treasure Island. This toll proposal to looked at the Treasure Island transportation Implementation Plan and i must voice strong objection to the authoritarian and punitive approach of the entire Transportation Demand Program Proposed in the titip. Most of us because its based on market scarcity mechanisms, whether that sarsity is preexisting or create order imposed by tiida, timma or the project. This approach seems to be all stick and no carrot and may be a better fit for singapore than San Francisco. It will effect in create an exclusive, electronically gatedcommunity to serve as proof of concept for a distopain future and one that continually transferles on our constitutional rights. Im opposed to the tolling proposal because its not equitable in regards to equal treatment or accountability. The Program Raises serious privacy concerns that could delay implementation with expensive litigation. The privacy related issues have yet to be addressed. According to ceqa findings, california Environment Quality act findings in the Environmental Impact report in 2011, even if the entire package of proposed Transportation Impact mitigation measures were implemented and you didnt approve it, by the way. It will not reduce congestion to tolerable levels. Those are the ceqa findings. Its wrong to limit public use of public good s such as roads and bridges. For example, the toll is unduly punitive for existing tiresidents, and according to the timma survey, they have shifted to 60 riding muni. While the toll proposal epts lower household rates for hypothetical population of tiresidents in aggregate, it ignores the fact for the numerous lowincome residents who need to drive, actual transportation expenses will rise sharply and will continue to rise creating a disproportionate economic hardship. I have two more pages i cut it down to two pages. I have a 7page letter. You will get it. What i would suggest that you give us a copy of that and all the members will have it. I will be consulting with privacy legal experts and constitutional law experts as well on this issue thank you. Thank you. So you can either email that to us or give us the hard copy. Is there any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. [ gavel ]. Mr. Clerk, can you please call item no. 3. Item 3, introduction of new items, this is an information item. Are there any new items for commissioners to introduce . Seeing none, can we move on to item no. 4. Item 4, Public Comment. So item no. 4 is general Public Comment. If you would like to speak, please do come up. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [ gavel ] well reopen Public Comment. There is really no order. Just come on up. We only have two minutes . Yes. My name is bety mackey and im a resident of Yerba Buena Island. The timma current plan for charging tolls to the residents is an extremely burdensome well, its a big burden to all of the residents there. And its unfair because we were not made aware as a community of the survey that was released in the fall of 2014. When i found out about it in 2015 and was in contact with rachel hyatt at timma, she generously offered to open the survey up to yb residents. This is another typical example of how my community is left out of all of the decisionmaking that goes on with any of the future planning with yb and ti. So i want to make you aware our community is a generous mix of people. We have guys out there who drive work vans and they are in those vans alone and their job is installing Home Security and other types of systems. They work super early in the morning to very late at night and often cannot make these meetings, even when they are held in the evening. So the interest in skipping us in the vary were never served. Plus we have large families with children that go to multiple school and need cars to take them here. I myself work from home and although i love taking muni and public transportation, its not always an option. If i have is to see a client in the south bay or sacramento, why should i be burdened with having to pay a toll to leaving home . So im asking you to please consider that the survey was incomplete, and that its going to be a heavy burden on the middleclass group, who if they continue to live out here, we have been consistently overlooked. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other members . May i . Its a different option. That is fine. This is general Public Comment. Right. Well, just want to say the last point i wanted to make on congestion toll, its economically perverse. You asked about pricing. If its successful this reducing driving on the bay bridge by residents, then revenue will go down. Since the toll is based on nixed or actually increasing revenue goal, the toll must go up. Worsening the disproportionate impact on residents. The estimates of the program and net overhead revenue will optimist and will be the First Federal highway administrationapproved congestion pricing project that generates surplus revenue without first adding more capacity. The original 2011 tiida plan was to provide residents to use ramps from 69 a. M. , 4 7 p. M. , six days a week, 30 toll hours a week to create a disincentives for residents to use their cars for commute trips. Now the resident toll proposal is expanded from 710 a. M. And 1 12 toll hours a week and reducing driving for commute trips, since currently proposed hours of tolling are increased by 373 and all the extra hours of tolls are during noncommute periods. This seems to be the plan to punish those work and workingclass drivers and disincentive or barrier to continue living on Treasure Island. It yielded a net social benefit of minus 11 million. If it meets the optimistic projects, only 10 of the budget will be generated. The experience with pricing projects have shown that most of the reductions in congestion and pollution tend to disappear after a few years and in the long run the laudable goal of reducing Greenhouse Gas may amount to only green washing for illconceived generating scheme. Thank you, mr. Klein. Is there any other members of the public that would like to comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Mr. Clerk, any other items . Item 5 is adjournment. Meeting adjourned, thank you everyone good afternoon, i tacall to order the regular meeting of San Francisco Public Utilities commission. Today is tuesday august 11, 2015. Roll call, please president cane, here. Commissioner courtney, here. Commissioner kwon, here. Commissioner moran, here. Commissioner [inaudible]. Before you you have the minutes of july 28, 2015. Any corrections . Any Public Comment on the minutes . Seeing none ill call fl vote. All in favor . Opposed . The motion carries. At this time im going to call for the Public Comments of any item not on todays agenda. Have any speakers today . Okay, moving on to the next item item 5 is communications. Commissioners any comments . I do have one speaker on item 5 d. Christine hanson. Could you come forward, please . I have 2. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is Christine Hanson and im speaking to you today as a member of the save ccsf coalition. I would thrike address the Real Estate Service report of the attempt of [inaudible] along where the Mayors Office to [inaudible] Housing Development at the bal bola reservoir. It is claimed on one end by the sfpuc and on the onet end city college is in deed still one parcel. The u. S. And history has been intertwined between ccsf and the Water Department for decades rchlt i document written by joans and stokes entitled common sequa mistakes [inaudible] to declare a parking lot full of car suhr plus is to [inaudible] with the common sequa mistake. When trying to assess the needs of the nearest neighbor, ccsf, youre dealing now with the changing state imposed administration that sspuc is resting on the word of Public Officials who guven the school when no public input was allowed. The current board of trustee meet rgz not video taped or broadcats to the community. How can you know the impacts of housing will be on the school. Another common sequa mistake noted by jones and stokes is failure to account for past, present and for seeable projects. This is a perfect discrepgz of Performing Arts Center slate frd the riz vore that the school has spent 22 Million Dollars in preparation to brildbuild. No mention of the project exists in the planning dwuments thus far. That project replaces the school odd torium raised in 195 saechb to build the current reservoir. As i said, city college and sfpuc are instwineed on the rez ver. The history is entwined and now the state of city college is grim and to base your development on the word of Public Officials that are not necessarily a part of the College Community is messy. Thank you. Thank you, very much. Any other comments from general public . Seeing none, the next item is other Commission Business. Other Commission Business. Adoption of resolution and supportf nominationf Kathleen Tiegs as president of association of California Water agency for the 2016, 17 term acwa is the Industry Association for public water agencies in california. In the last couple decades it started out as a aggregate District Agency over the last several decades it has done a good job i think och representing the state more evenly. It has also done a good job of trying to address californias major issues in a thoughtful and methodical and balanced way. It is the tradition to have the president of the board alter nailt between northern and southern california. The current term the president is john colman from east bay mud and in the next term it would naturally fall to southern california. Kathleen has been active in aqua since 2008. She is from cock monga water agency and my experience of her is she is thoughtful and approachable and very effective. She has spent the last term as Vice President and will be the nominee for president of the coming year, so i think her presidency would be very positive and it would be my pleasure to move our support of her for that position. Ill second that motion. Um, any other discussion, comments . Any Public Comments . All those in favor of the resolution . Aye. All those opposed . The motion carries. Any other Commission Business . Moving on to the next item, please. Item 7 is report of the general manager good afternoon commissioners. First would like to start off with the drought update. Steve, Ritchie Steve ritchie general manager for water. If we can have the slides. Well look at where we are in the drought. Some are familiar, the first is level of storage in the reservoirs and hetch hetchy is 88 percent full but that is dropping now. Water bank is above 100 thousand feed at 18 percent full so we are going through a relatively normal cycle now, hetch hetchy going down. We cant fill water bank as much in the past because there isnt enough water in cherry lake to do that so will look forward to hopefully a well winter. I havethis is state department of Water Resources puts out all the states reservoirs and major reservoirs and this continues to show. They are quite low, particularly [inaudible] is at 14 percent of capacity and there is controversy about how much water should be retained behind it versus released during the summer. [inaudible] which is merced irrigation is down 10 percent of capacity so it is extremely low now and don pedrois a third ow capacity. Precipitation, oddly nch in the last several weeks we continue to have more precipitation than normally. The month of june we had 4 times more than we usually get in the month of july. That number continues to creep up on the water year. As far as demand, our customers continue to do well. Of the 15 lowest percapita users in the bay area are [inaudible] all doing a great job and think you hear more from that when [inaudible] speaks on behalf of baus cu. Total demand picture, again we are below the level last year and well below the level we need to achieve to comply with state water boards requirements. It bumped up because we had heat and started to drop in the last week so we continue to do well on overall system demand. I would like to talk about state water board cur patement action and focus on june 30 is when we received a notice to [inaudible] points of diverse including [inaudible] july 6 we responded in the point of diversion not subject to state board notice and havent herd more from the state board after that correspondence. By the end of the week [inaudible] don pedro[inaudible] should exceed the natural flow of the [inaudible] river which is what the state board is measure success is maintaining the flow. I included a diagram which is different than what we have seen before. It shows the flow in cubic feet per second on the left acsss and the month along the bottom thmpt blue line is the full natural flow of the river if it weent diverted by us or the irrigation districts, so you see as the year has progress ed and run off flows, that lines coming down, the blue line. During the month of july it jumped around. It is movingwhat we typically do is go down close to zero below the yellow line. Because we had the precipitation it stretched out longer than usual. The red line is our release into the river. You see them coming down towards july and there is a bump in july as we start to generate more at home and put water in the water bank. We are releasing a fair amount of water in the water bank. The yellow line at the bottom is what is coming out of don pedroand that is about 100 cubic feet per second, 50 we volen tearly we wut in the river. The difference between the yellow and red line is what is going in the water bank so that is where that is important at this time of year that we are generating and the water we release is for our purmshsism we have a bump up with the ecpectation it will dry out and the blue line will dip into the yellow line so the release out of don pedrow will go into the system more than what the river puts there itself. At that point the question is a mute question because there is more water in the river than would already be there. The key thing to note is [inaudible] the water bank, that water the district holds so whatever we were told to do by the state water board is irrelevant because it is under control of the irrigation district. You can see the dealter. There is a lot in there but the basic message is the river is above the full natural flow level in 3 or 4 days and unless we get storms [inaudible] whautd are the next steps if the state water board comes back and they assert the opposite that is within their rights to restrict, what is our next step . It is a legal matter but the message is there is more water in the river so it doesnt matter. Legally we disagree with you and if we state that that is apologist choice to make. Can we continue our operations and await legal action . We continue operations because there is more water in the river than would normally be there so they have no basis to tell us to do anything. Thank you. Thank you. So the next update is cca. Barbara hale. Good afternoon commissioners. Barbara hale. I have a number of items to update you on. Lots of activity over the last couple weeks. August 3, mayor lee and some visor breed z mar introduced a resolution reaforming approval of the updateed Implementation Plan. That is the plan you adopted on july 14 and staff submit today the california Public Utilities commission for certification so it is now before the government audit and oversight committee. We have also been spending time on the 2 measures, ballot measures scheduled to peer on San Francisco november ballot. July 31, the supervisors held a special meeting of the board and at that meeting they modified the measure that supervisor breed had initiated in a manner that won over the support of the International Brotherhood of electrical workers. They will campaign for the supervisors measure and against the measure they had submit frd the ballot. The Ballot Simplification Committee convenes to draft the ballot digist and we staff activety participated in that effort and we are confident there will be a clear z accurate description of the measures cument composed for the voters. Today we published the anticipated request for offer to sploi energy to clean power sf program. We asked suppliers to submit bids to sploi the prac with 30 mega watts of electricity at launch with the opportunity to increase to 50 mega watts over the 6 month period. We asked them to provide firmed and shaped energy, so renewable and conventional power. We asked them to provide california renewable portfolio standard eligible bundled Renewable Energy. That is what is common referred to the bucket one energy, the more premium renewable lickticity product. We asked them to commit to pricing and deliveries starting marf 1 and continuing for 3 to 5 year. We told the sploiers we have a preference for projects in california and Even Stronger preference in the 9 bay area counties. That is our effort to get california project squz projects within the San Francisco region. We anticipate the program will serve residential and commercial customers ranging from 20 thousand to 70 thousand accounts. Are there questions on this item . The change of heart from ivw, was there an agreement . [inaudible] measure expressedat the root was kench that the San Francisco clean power sf program would rely on unbundled Renewable Energy credits and not have much of a economic incentive to develop and build projects, right . So, that was sort of at the root of their concern about the program. The board sponsored measure expressed concern about too heavy reliance on non Renewable Power on pg es sides oof the house and would require the department of environment to notify customers of the content of the power that pg e was supplying and making mention of the nuclear conitant. I understand that emphasis on disclose thg nuclear content was what was troubleicing. What the modifications did that brought all the parties together is eliminate the Nuclear Description requirements in the supervisors measure, requires the program that we implement at launch to rely onto not rely on unbundled Renewable Energy credits to a degree greater than allowed by state law. It met the ibew interest with the positive statement and by dropping the requirements to disclose the nuclear content in pg es power supply got them comfortable and support the measure no conversation about jobs or prevailing wages or nothing like that . Only on description . Those items do not appear in the ballot measure, no. Thats not to say there wasnt conversations about it, butthat is part of the interest ibw is bringing to the table is interest in jobs but neither measure spoke to jobs as they were initially drafted thank you today we have a action item on the agenda you mentioned that the anticipateation is cca goes out to residential and commercial custers and the Business Plan last meeting, we talked about the need to serve full serve commercial customers. Is one part of hetchy going to be in competition with cca or how does that relationship work . You know, i think there is potential for that competition. I think for the municipal. The public owned utility power, the bundleed power we supply, not all customers are Cost Effective to serve because of the Distribution System investments that need to be made. We are hoping we will be able to identify customers interested in receiving service from the city and identify those where it is most Cost Effective for them to be a cca customer or a publicly owned utility customer. We hope in the dialogue with the customer we will be able to best place them within the options of service from San Francisco. Thank you. Okay, so the next item i want to report on is the fact that we are going to be asking you today to act on a contract for the selection of the back Office Services provider for the cca program. Were asking you to award ongrument to noble amare cs to provide the administrative and Customer Services for the clean power sf program. Nobodyal amare cs would provide the meter data management, billing and Customer Care services. They will manage our customer enrollment process, tracking the customers who are opting out and establishing procedures and exchanging information about customer requests for pg e. Noble mare cs is a qualified provider and are providing to amu ren and sonoma and their cca programs. The action would amount to a contract not to exceed 5. 6 Million Dollars over the 3 year term and end in october of 2018. Under the contract noble will recover all costs by charging a per active meter fee for each month and in that way we wont incur any cost under the contract until we have customers. So youll have a opportunity to vote on that today as a regular agenda item. And then i wanted to put up our usual milestones slide. I have it on the overhead projector if we can get that up. Thank you. Im going to kind of try to focus it on the items that have changed. So you see we have listed today august 11, as the issue date for the request for offer, that is the first red item. We had target august 3, it is august 11 and we are a little late but none of the other schedule items are effected by that. I mentioned that today we have before you on the regular agenda are equest to execute the back office and Customer Care contract. I dont know how we missed this after presenting this so many times but listing sept29 where we precent the analysis. Im showing the next meeting date therewe will have that reflected properly in the future milestone charts. That concludes the update. We are still on track and moving ahead. Thank you. Thank you. Is there a couple comments . I know you would be here. Jason freed. I want to thank staff for doing a excellent job. I have in my hands the rfo for power pure cure want released today. Thank you fl hard work. I know this was more difficult than anticipated in getting done and they are able to figure how to get the calendar to work in a way that it is going out a few days later, they get back on track through the rest of the process so think that goes a lot to stay the staff and dissever congratuless on that. The timelinel just presented is the moving september 29 to october 13, i get why that occurs. We have started discussion about a joint meeting so if we get the meeting scheduled you could potentially move that item to the joint meeting and have approval of the risk analysis of whatever you are going to approve on that date. You can approve during the joint meeting and keep things on track. October 13 isnt the wirs thing in the world but that is a idea to through out and think about. We already traded a little time back and forth between myself and your Commission Staff about the date. I understand staff submitted our potential suggestion which is the end of september we have our meetic on the 25 so if you are available that day we can make that day work for us. I know not all are here today so need to determine how many of you can be there and how many of our people can be there. The other item i want to fwring up is the discussion about the ballot measure. I want to thank you for your staff. Comment your staff and [inaudible] submitted, we were able to get good ballot digest discussions occurring so there sadis tinction between the 2 ballot measures and that was going to be very helpful for those purposes. As government we cant campaign for or against anything but can make sure what is pren today the voters is factual and accurate. We did a good job of making sure a accurate story is presented. We are not clear roof top solar in the city [inaudible] would not necessarily be considered clean green Renewable Energy under prop g and they would be counted under the boards measure, prop h. We are going towhile we are above the minimum compliance, we are going to be aloud to count roof tops that go solar sf [inaudible] all those roof tops could be counted against us for category 3 so it will give the ability to count those similar to category 1 and not count against us so we can get as many roof tops in the city. Thank you thank you. Any other Public Comment . All right, the next item is a quarterly audit and Performance Review report. Nancy hom. Can i have the slides, please . Good afternoon president and commissioners. As you are aware the performance [inaudible] sfpuc for the past fiscal year. Provides a 12 month historical forward calendar of all praunlect squz highlights, the breath and depth of oversight [inaudible] takes into consideration our recommendation made by auditors and agencies. We fenshed 2014 15 with 65 individual assurance projects. 22 audits and projects completed by [inaudible] with 29 pregress and 17 scheduled. The majority are performance related [inaudible] compriced of 51 percent of the portfolio. The next largest audit type is financial related and conducted by external [inaudible] in 4th quarter 2 projects were completed, the first is phase one of south east [inaudible] framework. The first phase provided Program Project models Data Collection and reporting programs and internal and external audiences. The framework serves to support the Program Planning and management such as improvement, [inaudible] and also increased transparency, accountability, Public Awareness and funding support in the southeast community. The second project completed last quarter is the follow up audit of the job order contract program. The original 2012 audit was determine whether [inaudible] administered and monitored the program of the original 19 audit recommendations 4 remained outstanding and 3 were partially implemented from that 4. As we begin q 1 we have 22 projects over the next 12 months in addition to 22 in progress. Not all are listed here but the significant highlighted here [inaudible] followed by the annual Financial Report and the audit of statement of changes balancing adprount the whole sale revenue requirements for fiscal year 1415. We have loyaltyies revenue for [inaudible] cash receipts and receive new and sf reviews and interdepartment invoicing and cost. The current fiscal years annual audit plan is finalized between csa and [inaudible] for fy 15 and 16. The projects scheduled in the next upcoming month. In collaboration [inaudible] continued focus is obtain values for planned projects thatkeepture cost efficiency [inaudible] policies and procedures and facilitate continuous monitoring. As a result the managements planning audits in prior years added value enthe agency in the follow ways. Include the franchise fee audit that led to a 1. 5 million [inaudible] 35 fuv thousand dollars of ineligible discounts and provided [inaudible] collection of late fees Security Deposit and internal controls in property Lease Management and strengthen internal controls in areas of the organization including information technology, [inaudible] pure curement. As we continue through the year the staff will keep the commission updateed. If you have questions ill be glad to answer them now. Thank you commissioners, any questions . Yes, thank you. First of all, let me repeat a comment i make every time we do this. I think the Commission Staff should be proud of the audit program. Im not aware of a publication anywhere that subjects to such a thorough and transapparent program. It is part of keeping trust with the people who gave us a lot of money to do their work and think it is very important, but for all that importance no less impressive. One overall comment i would like to make is that there are several audit find wrgz the solution identified is to implement a Computer System and a computers by their nature take time to develop and implement. It is also true that financial and inventory controls were not invented after the computer age. They existed for a long time before that and the controls are established by management and not machines. My comment is that we need to not take excessive comfort in the fact that somebody is developing a Computer System and need to make sure the culture and management speak tooz the need for managers to protect our assets in whatever form their exist. There are several that have to do with inventory control that have been on the list for several years and hope we can make some Real Progress in getting those systems up and running and make sure that with or without those systems our inventories are being properly managed and protected. Thank you. Good point. Any other questions . Thank you thank you. So the next update is a water Enterprise Capital improvement program. Quarterly report. Good afternoon president and commissioners. Cathy how, agm for infrastructure. The written report is self explanatory but wanted to highlight we are finally moving into design for the peninsula pipeline seismic upgrade that was originally part of thewe discovered we needed to strengthen these pipes when we worked on the harry tracey projects under the Water System Improvement Program so the last piece, phase 3 will allow us to meet the seismic reliability level of service goal under the Water System Improvement Program. I can take any questions. Commissioners, questions . Thank you next item is dan wade will give a update of the Water System Improvement Program quarterly update. Good afternoon commissioners, dan wade. [inaudible] director and please today give a update on fy 2014 and 15. May we go to the slides please . In terms of overall status, the Regional Program is now 88. 7 Percent Complete. The local program is 99. 3 Percent Complete and the overall is very close to 90 Percent Complete at 89. 6 Percent Complete. Pleased to report that the last construction project in the local program, that is the Program Within San Francisco just completed this last month at [inaudible] reservoir. We now have 100 percent completion of construction with the one small exception of outstounding electrical issues at lake merced pump station. We are in the close out phase. That is a very significant accomplishment for the program and commend those working hard on the projects to get us to this point. In terms of Overall Program status, we continue to have the majority of activity in construction in the Regional Program at 2. 6 billion dollars of project value in that phase, but the great news is there is 65 projects totally complete in construction or closeout and we have one project, only one project in preconstruction and that is the alameda creak project. The Overall Program is on schedule to complete in 2019 as has been the baseline for had last couple years and it is also on budget at 4. 765 billion dollars. That being said, you may have noticed a few red flags that i just want to acknowledge and point out. On individual projects, these wont effect the overall completion of the program, but if you look that report youll see the san joaquin pipeline we have close out issues with litigation that was recently resolve so the date fl project is extended and have issues with drainage and solar panels we are fixing. Division 5 pipeline, the bay Division Project pipeline, we had ongoing litigation with mountain cascade but we are hopeful that will be resolved soon and there is a closed session item today. We have the [inaudible] hap tat restoration program. This geing well and over 100 Million Dollars to offset the nob nab of the seismic project squz the habitat values are reviewed by the resource agencies and they found the program to be going well, however, the extreme drought has impacted the timing of some of the projects and have to continue watering many plants and had to replace a number of plants as well as experiencing pathogen issues that effected the plants so we are eradicating the athgens to insure we dont have a long term issue. That has effected the schedule of that program as well. And then on the local side, i mentioned the electrical issues at lake merced pump station but those are the red flag jz commissioner caen, i want to be sure we address those with you up front. In terms of recent accomplishments, im not going to read all these, but we have accomplishments every quarter especially as we get to this phase in the program. Many of these regional projects are closing out and that is exciting. 36 of the 44 projects have now met the level of suvs goal squz that will continue to happen over the next year until such time we only have 4 remaining Major Projects in the program that go to 2018. The Safety Record is excellent but did have a issue this past muchckt so doubling down on the safety to make sure people go home safe at night. The program attracts Media Attention and were able to celebrate that last project in the local region by having a reporter from the chronicle come out. We continue to earn industry awards and that is a great accomplishment for the project teams that have worked so hard for many years on these projects. In terms of preconstruction, i mentioned we only have one project that is still in preconstruction which is alameda creak recapture and the design phase is in process and the Environmental Impact report is also in progress. We finish thd notice of preparation and had a Public Meeting and so we are moving forward on those aspects. We also have the admeada fix passage facilities which is a subproject. It is significant project and finishing 100 percent design this month and put that out to bid in october and proceed next spring and have a prequalification in progress. Pausing to look at some of the Major Projects that are ongoing in construction, i would like to start off with a little project called cal varus dam. Construction is 70 Percent Complete, which is ahead of schedule. We had significant Risk Reduction on this project recently because we were able to resolve issues that were of concern. Steve ritchie tells me he doesnt want to hear about the geologic feature and were able to solve [inaudible] they were crossing the new outlot cond uit and have desire to address those issues. We are getting close to the bottom of the excavation. We excavated [inaudible] have about 500 thousand lelft to go and that wont be removed until next year but have a good understanding what is beneath the material and so a risk we will find something new will go down. That being said, there is still significant risk remaining on the project because we still have to build a dam. Some of those risks include the source material for the hard rock insureing that we have the quality and quantity of materials necessary to construct the dam without quality issues as we go forward. Deal wg nesting birds, we had some minor delays due to birds being aggressive building nest so that is a risk continuing forwards with construction. We haveany time we do a excavation at the site there is concern with slope stability so that is risk. We do expect it to rain so there are whether delays but the risk has come way down, i just dont want to leave you with the impression we dont have risk going forward. This photo shows a recent construction photo of the spill way. We are in the [inaudible] looking upstream. 40 thousand cubic yards of concrete is placed. By the time we are finished we will place 60 thousand cubic yards of concrete to provide 45 thousand cubic per second of pill capacity. This photo shows the tower and architectural components. If you go on site today you see this taking place and this is really a nod to the history of the system that was built here in the bay area by Spring Valley Water Company that sfpuc took over and this is a reflection of the Architectural Team at the [inaudible] water temple designed by wills polk around the turn of the sentry. There is a blue man on the right doing his best to prevent nesting birds on the tower so we dont have delay in construction. If you look at the urban [inaudible] project what you see is some work taking place on the existing tunnel. You recall the new tunnel went into service february and took the existing tunnel out of service. We did find [inaudible] repair work taking place and expect to be able to put the existing tunnel back into service in september and do the final testing on the project. On this project you see restoration work going on. This is the photo of the sound wall being removed to insulate the neighbors from the construction and we are also focusing efforts on resolving 2 outstanding claimwise the contract, one is for excessive hard rock discover said during mining of the tunnel and also the 2 buckling repairs that we did based on the incidence that happened last fall. The peninsula Pipeline Upgrade is our last major Pipeline Program and that is going very well. There are no major issues during the construction of the project. This is 5 site on the peninsula to replace critical portionoffs pipeline that go through fault crossings. This photo shows a couple locations where we have trenches thatd cross the seismically vulnerable areas and the one of the right is near the site of [inaudible] this is in a fault crossing zone where we have a special trench detail with bedding that is allowed to deform in the event of a major earthquake. The regional ground water storage and recoverry project started construction in april and the project is off to a good start. It is about 6 Percent Complete. This continues to 2018. Thes is 16 ground water to help the aquifer to help in the event of drought thmpt goal is provide 7. 5 million gallons of water per day in lieu of construction project when we experience a drought. We have drilled several wells that are up to 720 feet deep and also cart started construction of the pump station structures you see in the photo. The last construction project i would like to talk about that i havent talked about much in the past is a biregional Habitat Restoration program. The program is going well. It is a very large program. It is 100 Million Dollars of mitigation sites mostly on sfpuc water shed and the folks working the program are proud of the work they have accomplished by restoring the pristine watershed lands and working with the Natural Resources folks in puc to do that. This project has experienced some delays due to 430 Million Dollars in wages that represents 12 thousand workers3 4 f1, 48 percent of th howererize [inaudible] 72 percent of apprentice hours are from the same tear toze. We work with 4 regional based [inaudible] for sfpuc territory residence placed on projects in partnership with trades and contractors. I also just want to mention a couple dynamic partnerships and initiatives under the leadership of general manager harlan kelly [inaudible] in partnership with labor. The Small Business contracting tips work shops was held in hayward which was a success. We updateed folks on changes to local Business Enterprise ordinance and so that was one thing done recently. There are several job specific Training Programs that benefited the Water System Improvement Program and benefit the sfpuc as we do projects in the future and include the operating engineers heavy equipment training held at cal varus dam replacement project. It include the [inaudible] training. And also the labor biregional hap tit restoration training held. I want to end with a photo of the folks that participated in the training. This was a tremendous success. Sfpuc in collaboration with the Training Center in san rumoan and mission Training Center in San Francisco launched the biregional habitat Training Program and the training addresses the need for skilled workers to support the construction and maintenance of the projects for the Water System Improvement Program. Happy to report that several of these people have gotten great jobs immediately after the training on projects and their position to really enhance their careers and families and provides benefit to the city as well and there is a fantastic video that our folks in mu [inaudible] put together that highlights the testimonys of the individuals that experienced the training and encourage you to visit our website to view that video. With that, happy to take any questions. I want to appreciate your comments about the biohabitat training and that you mentioned to masud and all the heavy lifting. I cant sit here and not recognize the great work of general manager kelly because the laborers, we like to take credit for stuff that we do, right . Maybe a little stuff that we dont do well take credit for, but harlan does deserve all the credit and husband staff because it wasnt easy to get that done and we wouldnt be talking about how we were able to place people and wouldnt talk about success and longevity if it wasnt for your vision so i was glad we were able toget that done. Im compelled to say that i agree and glad you took the cue to commend or general manager. Curious on the video you have, is there [inaudible] involved in that . The sewer System Improvement Program really took that. We are not as cool but they did a great job with that. One serious question, i was having a hard time keeping track of pluses and minuses going through the risk and trends discussion and there were several projects where it was clear it would take more money but it was vaivl in the directors rover reserve. For the program as a whole, is there enough money currently identified to deal with risks and trends i think we have a fighting chance to finish the program in the budget. That being said, there are significant trends that we know about, but there is also risk. The risk we run a monty carlo analysis and we can fund the 80 percent confident level of risk with the directors reserve and con tingency in the program. I believe we have a strong likelihood of finishing the Program Within thbudget, that being said there is igsug couldnt risk ahead. From reading the report it looked like we are in a different phase of the projects. As the projects come to completion, close out issues and claimerize in the forfront they are very much in the forfront and it is a lot of hard work that people are doing behind the scenes to address those issues, but just as a important as the start up phase or middle phase of the program to finish well and that is what we talk about all the time is finishing well. Thank you thank you. Congrats on the 100 percent completion, that is a accomplishment. Question about the cal varus dam replacement. For the record, the California Academy of sciences could not handle the whale fossil because of confrict of interest. We are in discussion with another entity and hope to have a contract in the future to pure cure the
