All right. So, were good. Item number three, approval of the minutes. Wi aer going to approve four sets of minutes today. The prebudget hearing january 18, 25 and february 1 and the january 23rd regular meeting. Do we have a motion to approve these minutes . Move to approve all of them. Second. Any discussion, commissioners . Any punt comment . Ok. All in favour . Aye. Opposed . Approved. Item number four is where members of the public can address the commission on matters that are within the matter of jurisdiction and are not on todays agenda. Do we have any Public Comment . For general Public Comment . Yes, please. Hello, everyone. Im name is bonnie, may i have the overhead, please . Im here to talk about the islay creek watershed, flood mitt investigation, opportunities, Climate Change, and the triple bottom line. And here we are upstream at the School District, the lshaped piece of land which is under that black [laughter] you cant see it because its under that black. Ok. Right here. This is a School District property of two high schools, a middle school, an Early Education school. And my organization has been working at the site since the mid 1990s. Weve just secured a 633. 3k grant to redo a portion of seneca avenue and i want to talk to you about that because this is directly in the flood zone, the overflowing sewer at the end of cayuga avenue. Were talking about seneca between the end of san jose avenue and cayuga. And i want to look at this mid zone of the watershed which is where the extreme flooding is at cayuga, which is at the convergence of the part of the creek that comes down from glen park and the other part that leads into the cayuga valley and that is why there is all this flooding there. And the opportunity there where there is quite a bit of open space land behind some of the houses to develop an islay creek watershed Confluence Community park. And then further downstream in the interchange where there is a great deal of open space is the opportunity to create an islay creek watershed Southern Gateway community park. And then the chavez at 101 creates an opportunity to create the northern Gateway Community park that really represents and expresses and calls attention to the value of the watershed. And we talk about triple bottom line, we are talking about improving the quality of life, making areas safe and accessible, community and school education, green skills job training, Habitat Restoration and helping with biodiversity goals, utilizing abundant public lands and engaging city, state and federal sectors. And it would be beneficial to have the city the p. U. C. Contribute some resources to expand this 633. 3k opportunity that weve already that we have in hand and do more to mitigate flooding upstream. And i know that this section at cayuga and seneca is part of the 100year map that you will be seeing. Ok. Were out of time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Ok. I am item five, please. Item five is communications. Any discussion . Commissioners . Any Public Comment . Seeing none, item six. Other commission business. Any comments, commissioners . Any Public Comments . Well move to item number seven. Item seven is report of the general manager. So, the first item is a clean power update. Barbara hill. Good afternoon, commissioners. Barbara hale, assistant general manager for power. We have item 16 later in the meeting on todays agenda so im just going to update on enrollment and service to customers and legislative and regulatory activities. Our enrollment really hasnt seen change since january 23rd. We are serving around 80,500 customer sites. Our optout percentage is 3. 2 . Our super green upgrade rate continues to exceed our optout rate at 4. 1 of our customers, choosing 100 renewable power. Looking ahead, our next enrollment will be a small enrollment in april of 2018. We have closed the wait list for that enrollment and have been have begun noticing our customers will be adding about 230 accounts starting april. On the legislative front, consistent with your vote november 14, an ordinance was introduced at the board requesting the board of supervisors provide a limited delegated authority to our general manager so the p. U. C. Can enter into supply contracts to support the completion of our programme enrollment. The board adopted the ordinance january 23rd. Mayor farrell signed it january 26. Later, well be asking the committee to ask on that authority in item 16. At the capital, calccs lobbying day was held on january 25 and 26. All 16 operational members of calcca participated. Cleanpower s. F. Was representative by emily lam. Thank you to her publicly for her extensive efforts in supporting calccas lobbying and legislative efforts and cleanpower s. F. s programme. The group spent time educating and raising awareness about community interests and local energy agregation programmes. On the regulatory front, the pcia, the exit fee. Our customers continues to pay pg e and continues to be under review and reform at the cpuc and were preparing testimony now for hearings that are expected. We spent considerable time over the last couple of weeks responding to questions from other party, mostly pg e and mostly about our supply costs and preparations for those hearings. The staff resolution on Resource Adequacy was before the commission, the California Commission last thursday. They issued a resolution. That resolution is intended to integrate c. C. A. s initiation and expansion with the timetable. With the timetable, the cpuc has on Resource Adequacy. This is the resolution that, when it was first issued as a draft, would have resulted in delaying c. C. A. Expansion and start up at least a year. The state of the stated objective by the cpuc staff that drafted the resolution was to avoid cost shifts from. Departing customers to residence maining utility customers by aligning the c. C. A. Expansion and startup dates with the cpucs planning cycle for Resource Adequacy. We filed comments and reply comments, both as a city and in collaboration with calcca. We participated in several conversations with cpuc staff. The utilities and other parties trying to influence the outcome there. We joined stakeholders in making our views known on the steps of the cpuc before the vote. The p. U. C. Ultimately adopted a muchimproved resolution. I think largely as a result of that participation. We still remain concerned about the process that was used and are evaluatesing with the City Attorney whether we should be filing an appeal at the cpuc over those process concerns. It engendered quite a bit of activity at the cpuc, this item. They took over an hour of Public Comment prior to conducting their business. Thats not typical at that entity. So, the c. C. A. Folks came out and made sure that the california p. U. C. Understands the concerns of the community. At that same meeting, the cpuc also adopted their integrated Resource Plan approach. Theyve establish add twoyear cycle where all loadserving entities those are entities that provide Retail Electric Service to californians that are subject to cpuc Regulatory Authority need participate in that twoyear cycle. Our cleanpower s. F. Programme will be subject to those regulations and will participate. You know because we already adopted or presented to you the integrated Resource Plan fur our hetch hetchy programme that that engagement with our regulators happens at the California Energy commission. So, the publiclyowned utilities all go to the california utility commission. The ccas go to the california p. U. C. For regulation of their integrated Resource Plans. So, im sure well hear more to say about how we can successfully comply with the objectives there. I think the objectives in our programme are in alignment with the cpuc with respect to their objectives in the integrated Resource Planning format where theyre really looking to reduce the Greenhouse Gas impacts of providing electric service to customers. Were down with that objective. Right . So hopefully that alignment will help us have a successful engagement there. And with, that im happy to take any questions you might have. Should we have any Public Comments on this item . Ok. 7b, please. The next item is our water Enterprise Capital Improvement Programme Quarterly Report. And also the water system improvement Quarterly Report. Good afternoon, president kwon, commissioners. Dan wade, director of programmes. I want to start out with the water enterprise Quarterly Report for the quarter ending december of 2017. Ill start with advances that ive noted before in past quarters that are flaged in this report. The first one is the Water Treatment plant, addition of powdered activated car gone. Carbon. There is an advance of 1. 68 million as a result of adding that project to that suite of projects and steve richie in the budget presentations decided why thats needed prior to the 60day shutdown scheduled for next year. The san andreas ii lockbar replacement project has an advance of 4 million and 16 months and this is due to Design Development and higher engineers cost estimate than was previously forecast. The project is essentially on hold and that continues to grow over time until we decide whether to do that promise or nots and well make a decision on that prior to establishing the new baseline mid year for the new ci. P. For the new skyline trail extension, we have a 22month variance thats been previously reported due to the additional time thats needed for the ceqa review going to a full i. R. Rather than a more expedited ceqa process. And then lastly the longterm promise which consisted of two components, the sinola yard which is under constructioner over 30 complete and the watershed centre, which is has been on hold should the budget be approved later today, we would go forward with a watershed centre thaurnlz project as well. And so the variance shows the additional cost for the watershed centre as well as the time needed for that. So with that, id just like to state a few highlights from the reporting period. I mentioned the sinola yard administration building. The structural framework has come along. Ill show you a photo in just a moment. The water valley Treatment Plant has some server upgrades that have taken place and we also issued the powdered activating carbon to proceed to the contractor actually, we will issue it very shortly. It has been awarded. The n. T. B. s coming up. And then the pipeline, we did advertise and bid that project. We actually just recently rejected all the bids for a couple of reasons. One is that two of the lowest bidders withdrew due to bid error and the other bidders were well above the project budget so were pulling that one back for now and taking another look at it. And once weve deciphered whats going on there, well repackage and rebid. On the local watershed, weve completed a number of projects and we have a number of projectss in construction, not the least of which theres some very large joint projects, namely van ness and some others. This is the structural framework. This photo out in sinola. The jazzeder 30 complete. We have continued to encounter archeological artiing facts that have been relocated. But we have been able to work through those issues and we expect to have total completion on this project by tend of the year. And i mentioned that the watershed centre would move forward once the new budget is approved. Finish the snow valley Water Treatment plant, i mentioned the activated powder carbon addition. Theres been a lot of work at this plant, but we continue to have improvements that are made under the water 10year ci. P. And should the budget be approved today, well move forward with a longterm solution for the taste and odour issues, which is the ozone treatment. A much larger project longer term design and planning process. And ill end with this slide. This shows the water Main Replacement mileage that weve made in recent years and steve richie showed this slide during the project hearings but i wanted to highlight that, you know, we have that target of 15 miles. We havent been able to make the 15 miles for a number of reasons, including the costs and volume of projects with other agencies that are in the lead. Delays that have been encountered in these multiagency projects and analysis of our Staffing Levels that were made two years ago really, over time, its been shown that the staff have priorities and only a portion of their time is going to the water line replacement. For those reasons, were forecasting about 10. 7 miles at the end of this year as opposed to the target of 15. But that is where we stand. With that, id bz happy to take any questions. Thank you for that presentation. I appreciate it. Im curious about the microturbine project and i dont know if now is the time to get some more information on that. And if that, indeed, is going to be able to move forward. Im interested in that way to continue to diversify our power supply. Yeah. So that project has been in the planning stages for some time. It was put on hold, primarily because the Alameda Creek recapture promise has project has not been fully approved yet. And depending on how much is part of that promise and how the flows around the valley are managed that could affect the availability of the microturbine project. So very shortly we should be able to provide some additional information. That would be great. Thank you. Great. Any Public Comment . All right. Next item. He is going to do part two. So, moving to the wsip. So, as you know, were about 95 overall with the wsip. And we still do have a lot of work going on. Some of the highlights are shown here. I wont read all of those to you, but i do want to point out one very important achievement for an individual, but also really for the whole team at the replacement promise and the east bay as well as all the wsip teams. Susan how, the project manager, was recently recognized by engineering news record which is a very well known publication in the industry as one of the top 25 newsmakers in 2015. They came out and did a nice cover article on the project and she was named the newsmaker. Thats great. And so we do have some remaining challenges with wsip. Again, im not going to read all of these to you. But we are getting to a point where our risks are coming down significantly. But until we get through the next winter season, we have significant risks out there still. We values other risks to really finalize the systemwide testing and cite additional well sites in the san bruno area. Although were having discussions about some possible rescoping of that project and we would fwlaing to you as a change if our discussions appear that that is a good idea. The siting of those additional wells has been a very difficult challenge and so were looking at some other options on how to possibly rescope that promise and then come back later and, if needed in the future, add those additional wells. So, the replacement project is about 87 complete. And this recent aerial photo shows the new dam access in the lower centre of the photo. The dark brown is the clay core. The grey on the left is the upstream rockville shell and the brown on the right is the downstream shell of the dam. The dam has taken shape. And this photo was taken in january and shows the dam of that elevation is 693, which is only about 60 feet below the top of the dam. And so once we start again in the spring with the embankment construction, we expect the dam to top out late summer, early fall. And, of course, well continue with other components of the project and push for substantial completion next year. But the project is on schedule and making good progress. The facilities at the Alameda Creek Diversion Dam is going well. This shows it in the upper left of the photo and the fish ladder, you can see, taking shape downstream of the dam and the screens have been installed to screen the water that is taken in through the tunnel to the reservoir. We were able to get out as planned for winter season. The project is about 82 complete and we expect complete by the end of this year. Testing is, of course, we will be doing testing in this coming winter season. And this is a recovery project, the existing wells that constructed in phase one in the testing and startup period. We expect to continue both the individual well station testing as well as the systemwide testing through the end of this year. But, again, fwao iz was planned for two to three additional wells in the san bruno area and we havent been able to site those wells to date. We are looking at other possible locations and well do test wells starting in march at two additional locations in milbray and South San Francisco and well look at the viability of those sites. For the time being, were focused on really getting phase one up and operational. And then the bioregional Habitat Restoration programme is coming along. The as you recall, there is 18 sites between the alameda and peninsula water sheds. 10 sites are entirely complete. There is eight remaining sites that are part of the peninsula vegetation removal promise, removing the nonnative vegetation project. Were forecast ago delay to completion of the project because we need to accommodate the preparation and negotiation of conservation easements thats required under the regulatory permit answer so we need the time to do that. But the construction will be complete this year. And last but not least, this is what i call my nuts and bolts project. This is librarising when you get to the end of a project, there is some loose ends that you need to take care of. We have what these close out promises and some of these are, you know, fairly substantial projects in and of themselves. But there is a variety of them throughout all the regions that were work on and will be continuing with this until the end of the programme. With, that id be maep to take any questions. Actually i have one more slide. Excuse me. So where do we stand now . The overall cost forecast is 4. 887 billion. That is about 42 million beyond what was approved two years ago in march 2016. And so the completion schedule is currently forecast for december 2021. As you know, were 95 complete. So, its not that the whole programme has been delayed, but there is a couple of projects that need to be extended to allow for these loose ends and challenges that weve encountered. We have forecast enough time and cost for active Construction Contracts that approximately 80 confidence level for risk. And weve included a request in the 10year water c. I. P. That is becoming before you today to cover the additional cost for the w Social Security dip wsip being forecast here. What weve done in the past, two years ago we came to you with a change notice under ab1823 rules so we plan to do that again at the end of this month. To come with a 30day change notice and then for a public hearing and then come to you in march to ask for your approval. All right. Thank you, dan. And also please extend our congratulations. Will do. Thanks. Well said. For this item here, im going to invite Public Comment. We also have tom francis from bosca. Id like to invite you up, please. So im tom francis, the water resource manager for bosca. On this team i want to make two brief statements. I know there is a time limit here and i typically extend over that. First of all regarding what dan was mentioning with the wsip. We were made aware several months ago that sfpuc plans to extend wsip until 2021 and increase the budget by 42 million. Weve been reviewing the proposed wsip extension skelz and budgets increase and well be looking forward to seeing the same documents that you folks will be seeing in another couple of weeks. Our main interest on that note, aside from reviewing those documents, will be to extend the period that ab1823 and i think dan will probably talk about that. It will end the oversight it will excuse me, we just need to extend it a few extra years and we view that the schedules are still a little bit uncertain and so our role as bosca is to make sure that we have state oversight in place. Weve had discussions with the p. U. C. Staff about that. We believe they are in support of that particular activity and hopefully theyll discuss that coming up. The last is reported to the Quarterly Reports in wsi. I know the last fall has been a challenge for your staff because the citys budgets has been or at least the new software that tracks budgets has been in an upheaval state. And so what were asking dan to do and steven and harlan and his staff is take another look now that it appears that that software is up and running and running smoothly. Take another look at that 42 million because some of that was estimated by his staff at a time they werent able to access all the records that they had in place. Now those records should be in place. What were asking again is to take another look so when he comes back to you in two weeks he has great confidence in that 42 million. That ends my comments. And you can ask feel free to ask questions. Questions . Comments . Thank you. Ok. Any other Public Comment on this item . Ok. Number eight. No. I have first of all, i just wanted to thank the commissioner for participating is this close enough in the calgary p. U. C. There was a rally regarding the c. C. A. And she showed up and rallied folks around the support of c. C. A. So i want to personally thank you for that because it means a lot to our programme. The second and last item i wanted to give you let you know that we had an unexpected death at the p. U. C. It is a colleague. His name was ron miller. He served at the Department Lab director since 2006 and next months would have marked his 12th year anniversary. He passed sunday. February 11. He you know, the lab actually is a very busy lab because we have we provide lab services for the water and waste water as well. But we work with our wholesale customers in the community so it is a 24 7 operation. And we have, you know, several labs that he managed. One at milbray, one at southeast and then a small one at the moccasin yard so he kind of serves he managed all that. And i just wanted to, on behalf of the department, give our condolence to his family, his coworkers. The water enterprise under steve richie and particular andrew degasa who is his direct supervisor. And i just wanted to really make sure that our staff is you know, we provide whatever resources they need to cope with this because he was an important employee at the p. U. C. So i wanted to let you know that well be sending a letter out to staff and see what resources we could provide through this time. And so with that, that completes my report. If i may. Would you be kind enough to extend our condolences on behalf of the commission to his family . Will do. Thank you. Ok. Item eight. Item eight is the con sents calendar. All matters listed here under constitute a consent calendar are considered to be routine by the San Francisco Public Utilities commission and will be acted upon by a single vote of the commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission or the public so requests n which event the matter will be removed from the calendar and considered as a separate item. Move approval. Second. Ok. Any other discussion . Any Public Comment . All right. All in favour . Aye. Opposed . Carries. Item number nine, please. A presentation and discussion of the draft 100year storm flood risk information map to provide Property Owners and prospective buyers information about the likelihood that flood willing occur during a 100year storm event on a particular property. Good afternoon, commissioners. Brian henderson, interim a. G. M. For waste water. Over the last few years, we talked a lot about flooding and what this item is about is one of our problematic strategies aimed at informing Property Owners of their risk of their flood risk during a 100year storm. Id like the introduce Stephanie Harrison who will come up and show you the draft and talk about next steps. Thank you, brian. Good afternoon, commissioners. Stephanie harrison, project manager. So were going to be talking today about the draft 100year storm flood risk information map and this is really intended to be a first glance at the maps and the process that we went through to develop them. And then at the end, im going to lay out what our planned next step r. S pull up the slides, please . As you recall, our flood resilient strategy in San Francisco is threepronged. We have Capital Projects to address our level of service. And we have Collection System o m, operation and maintenance to maintain our assets and the third piece weve been talk about more recently in the past year or so, is the problematic strategies and that is what im going to be focusing on today. In september, i present add full suite of problematic strategis to you, some pertained to the 25year storm, some to the 100year storm and some are citiwide and today were just focusing on the 100year storm, which is an extreme but conceivable event. So, what is this information map . It identifies parcels in San Francisco that are subject to core flood risk in a 100year storm. That is a storm with a 1 probabilities of happening at any given year. The purpose is, first of all, to enable Property Owners to protect their properties. So, if they know that they are subject to flood risk and can take steps to protect their properties. And then secondly to inform prospective Property Buyers by mandating disclosure at point of sale. Now theres already an existing state law that when you sell a property in california, tough disclose flood risk at point of sale. But weve heard many anecdotetal stories from Property Owners in our core flood areas that they didnt know when they purchased their property. So what this map in combination with the City Ordinance would create a clear and transparent process that is consistent with the intents of the state law to make it much more clear and transparent as to whether you have flood risk and when to disclose it. Im going to talk a little bit more about the future ordinance and that process, how that process looks later. But right now lets take a look at the draft map itself. So this is what the map looks like city wide. And hopefully you have hand outs and theres a link on the online agenda to download the entire p. D. F. With the neighbourhood zoomins. This is an example of one neighbourhood zoomin. The map would be zoom tonight a parcel scale so a Property Owner or anyone would know which parcel are in or out of the map. Before adoption of the map, though, staff would be proposing process for any Property Owner to request parcel information such as the el investigation, the d eptsz of flooding, extent of flooding, that was in the mapping process and then potentially to appeal their inclusion in the map and potentially redraw the boundaries. There ising a process of appeals that will be asked for you are asked or consider adopting any map. Lets look briefly at the technical assumptions that went into the mapping process. S that brief snapshot. First, how do we meaningfully define flooding . We look at deep and contiguous flooding. Its not just a problem on the parcel, but a problem in the neighbourhood on the half block scale. We considered Sea Level Rise and considered how to draw the lines in a way that is very clear and encompasses a whole parcel and also we didnt want large parcels with small amounts of flooding to skew the whole map. We used two distinction tools. The first was our hydraulic and hydrologic model and that simulates the depth and extent of the flooding and for that we input our 100year design storm. We input Sea Level Rise assumption, the city drainage infrastructure is already part of it. Ground surface data and then that gave us the depth and extend of flooding. We put that into a mapping process where we identified the parcels that are impacted. Im going to walk through a series of maps here on the slides to sort of walk through the process very quickly. I dont see here that same intermission neighbourhood. This tells us depth so the darker blues are deeper flooding and the lighter blues are lighter flooding and we identified the deep and contiguous areas outlined in black and isolated those areas so the rest of the more shallow flooding came off the map and then we identify what had parcels are affected by this deep and contiguous flooding. And then we drew a boundary around those par else is and that generated this citywide map. On a city scale, you are looking at a little over 2,000 parcels and a little over 5,000 properties because a parcel can have a multiunit building with multiple properties in it. It is about 1 to 2 of the parcels, the properties and buildings in San Francisco. To give you a sense of the scale in a 100year storm. And when you add when we add the historic hydrology layer on, you can see house closely, again, the flooding follows the waterways because its driven business topography. Following todays very brief introduction to the mapping, these are the plans next steps. So what we would be planning to do is to send out some notifications in march. This looks like a written notification to all the Property Owners within the map to let them know that the draft maps have been developed. And also stakeholder in this process and post the draft map online. All of this out reach would point to public availability sessions, any public sessions that we came to answer questions but also in the spring timeframe we would plan to come back to the commission, hold a hearing and go into more detail over the processs that i just breezed through today. In the meantime, continuing our discussions with the members of the board of supervisors for an ordinance that would require sellers to disdmroes theyre within a Commission Adopted final map. And, again, this is just a this is very in line with the existing state law and just providing information on existing dons give people a very transparent way to report whether they have flood risk or not. Later in the year, then we would be coming back if that ordinance passes, they would be coming back to the commission to propose a final map for adoption. And again before we ask for adoption, we would be looking at specific regular leighs, noticing to the Property Owners an appeals process for any particular parcels inclusion in the map and also a process for periodic reviews and revisions of the map. And approvals for that. So then following adoption, we fo s final map online and that would be part of the process when you sell a property is to make sure that youre disclosing and disclosing whether or not your property is within this map boundary or not. So with that, i would take any questions you might have. What is the impact on a Property Owner of being included in the area there is a disclosure requirement proposed. What about availability of Flood Insurance or subsidy for flood in[stphurpbgs ] . Urntion [stphurpbgs ] . Urntion Flood Insurance . Great question. The process would be that the Property Owner goes to the map to fill out their disclosures. With respect to Flood Insurance, Flood Insurance is available citywide. That was part of the national Flood Insurance programme that we joined in 2010 as a city. So that federallybacked Flood Insurance is available citywide. Now where you have a femadesignated flood plain, which is associated with an open waterway, which is along the bay and ocean. So, the very, very Coastal Properties of our city are in preliminary feeze ma designated flood plains and if and when those flood plains are finalized, the fema designated floodvulnerable properties would have higher insurance policy premiums. But most of the areas are outside of those fema designated flood plains. And so the insurance premiums are significantly lower. I looked up the premiums to get a sense of what we say they are. When we say affordable that doesnt mean the same thing to everybody. But in 2017, the national Flood Insurance Programme Annual premiums for propertis that are not in femadesignated flood plains, so that would be most of the propertis that were talk about on this flood map, if you are a renter and youre ensuring contends only, the annual premium is 40. Can start at 40 a year. Depending on the values of your contents. And if you are a Property Owner with a basement and youre insuring both contents and structure, the premiums start at 127 a year. For content and structure. It is not like earth quake insurance or Homeowner Insurance because these propertis are primarily outside of femadesignated flood plains, its almost like its heavily subsidized. Like obamacare wants to get the young, Healthy People into the programme. Like a. A. A. Insurance for your car. Roadside assistance. Thank you. I have a couple of questions. So i was curious on the designation of the sites. The 100year storm notion seems to be changing since were seeing greater frequency of greater storms. Im wondering if there is modeling that youre using to factor into the maping . That is a really good question. With respect to Climate Change, when we think about dlie mat change, we have good understanding scientifically of how sea levels are going to rise, but we dont haves a very good understanding of how precipitation patterns are going to change, especially on the micro level, like you know San Franciscos 50square miles. So, we do not there is not scientific agreement and we dont have a range of how precipitation patterns may change with respect to Climate Change so we dont have anything quantitative to model. Now that said, the fiveyear storm, the statistical analyses to define these storms was available back in the 1940s and they have been visited in more recent years, post2000 to sort of understand how much has that data period impacted the Statistical Analysis and it still looks remarkably consistent. So it really takes many decades of data to change a longterm pattern like that. We are working with Lawrence Berkeley labs to try and further to best understand the best available science on extreme participation. But as of today, there is not an agreement in the scientific community. I would also mention that were trying to be consistent with fema, 100 years, so it seems like weve been seeing a lot more, whether it is 100year, or 50year, whatever we call it, much more intense storms and that is almost driven some of this what we have to do to respond because theyre happening more quickly and more severely. Its true. Its likele roing the dice. Its hard to know what influence statistics has and plain old probabilities and chance versus what is driven by Climate Change and it is hard to dissect that without a longterm record. Certainly were not expecting it to get the patterns to get less intense. Anybody in San Francisco eligible nar Flood Insurance . Yeah. So, if you were on the edge of a flood prone area and concerned about the effect of Sea Level Rise, you could voluntarily purchase yes. And anyone in San Francisco can purchase Flood Insurance policies through the national Flood Insurance programme, which is subsidized. As of right now, we dont even have final fema maps so even those in the preliminary flood zones are still getting subsidized rates on a national scale. Because fema flood maps havent been finalized yet. Thank you. It seems like the goal of this mapping maybe not the biggest goal, but one of the main uses and goals for the map is this disclosure question and possibly tools identify individual recourse strategies for a homeowner . So, the primary purpose of this map is information. And that has a twopronged trickle down. We want current Property Owners to be aware of flood risk. Their flood risk. Whether theyre planning to sell or nots, we want Property Owners to be aware of their flood risk. But also prospective buyers to be aware of what they might be purchasing. E the disclosure is for the buyer side of it. And General Information piece is for the current Property Owners. We have a citywide Grant Programme right now that twe ear going to be advertising heavily since in december you announced the major modifications to it and weve done contractor outreach so we have a lot more resources that we lined up now and well be doing major outreach on the Grant Programme and that is an example of some of the assistance we want to make sure people are aware of. So, would the people in the map zones have First Priority to the grant dollars . Are they tied together . Not at this time. Eventually the intents we have a 25year storm map which is a little smaller than the 100year storm map. And we would be tying Building Code requirements to that. That is a much more tangible potentially impactful requirement to properties owners. So we would be eventually tying first priorities for the grants to that 25year storm map. But right now, as a Grant Programme currently exists, its open for anyone city wide and the demand for it has been underutilized to date. We welcome folks in this mapped area to apply for grants. And one last question. It seems like this tool, this map could have some broad implication and applications and from a policy perspective, as we look at wsip and Capital Improvement and storm water ordinances and storm water fees that it could be something to inform decisions as well where if there is one parcel in particular, its identified as severely impacted and maybe there is a great infrastructure tool or adjustment that goes into that place based on that map. Is that . Obl has that been talked about . I think so our system is built for a fiveyear storm. And so that is what our infrastructure is. So, were not building it for 100year, but we feel that we need to notify folks because folks are unaware if they purchase property that lit flood in 100 years. So, this is just good information for people to have and i think what the commission and what we talked about is above the fiveyear, you know, Capital Investments were going to make, what programme matic strategies that we can deploy to help folks and what we define is a 25year is a good level to provide additional help to those people in those areas. We will give a programmatic assistance and that is how were layering it in. Thats helpful. It would be great, as the maps get developed, a better understanding. Although the modeling isnt there. But what are we really seing . Are we seeing a lot more 25 year, 100year storms than we did in the 1940s . So, 2004 marked a very, very large [inaudible] and then there were a couple more since then. Thats sort of the last 15 years of record and the statisticians are saying that you need a good 30year period to be able to discern a trend as opposed to a statistical anomaly. So, its coming. As we continued to see patterns like it, well mark it as a trend but it is premature to do that at this point in time. Work with lawrence berkery s that the atmospherics with river mapping . Its separate from that. The Atmospheric River mapping is being sponsored by the departments of water resources. Commission, anything else . Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item . Ok so i want to call attention items 10, 11, 12, and 13 will be called together. Secretary will read it and a. G.

Commissioners, these items are really the capstone of a tremendous amount of work on behalf of staff, but also a tremendous investment as time of the commission to thoroughly vet our budget, operating budgets, Capital Budgets, capital plans and Financial Plans. And so youve gone through 12plus hours of hearings on our budget and what i included with the package is a 40page recap of what youve discussed over the past three meetings and 12 hours. Im not going to go through that whole presentation right now. But i did choose a few slides from that just to highlight some of thework that youve done and changes regarding our review of the budget. Theres information about the general managers comments on the budget, timeline and commission actions, the Budget Development process internally and the context of the whole city budgets, the review and recap of the enterprise priorities and summary of the operating budgets, including the new proposals and position changes t Capital Budget summary of the 10year Financial Plan. It is a complete package. And i did want to highlight the degree and effort to which the commission went to vet this budgets. You held three public hearings, each four hours. We took up all the four hours each time and actually a little bit over on a few of them. On january 18, the general manager and i gave an introduction to the budget and an overview. We talked about the waste water operating and Capital Budgetses, the 10year taptal plan and Financial Plan. On the 25th, we covered the water enterprise, hetchy water and hetchy clean power and on january 21, we covered the general managers budgets, external affairs and infrastructure. We have on record questions and answers that you raised during the budget process. The series of these hearings. So, the public can see in communication item 5e, the whole series of questions that you asked during the process, the answers that we provided and a number of support exhibits. So, its clear and available to the public. The amount of inquiry that you as commissioners provided into our budget. At the same time, we followed up. There were a couple of hearings that we drilled down with commissioners over to the period one relating to Green Infrastructure and pathways. I wanted to highlight those. In terms of Green Infrastructure, we decided to accelerate the Grant Programme targeting schools and parks. And what that means is moving it is moving some of those moneys from years two to 10 into years one and two. There is actually a red line revision of item 11, which reflects the increase to the biennial capital appropriatation. And then there was a lot of work that was done with the general manager, the head of h. R. The head of the water enterprise and waste water enterprise to work on commitments related to Workforce Development pathways. And for the water enterprise, were implementing an Apprenticeship Programme for sdwren laborers and gardeners. Were adding an eightweek rotation to the glen Eagles Training Academy as part of the preApprenticeship Programme for waste water and then were working as an organio
