Item 4 report of the general manager. Good afternoon acting general manager. General manager herrera asked me to update this board on information that has been in the news. I imagine you have all seen the coverage about the algae in San Francisco bay . We thought it might be helpful to update this body on steps we are taking to reduce nitrogen in the bay. We are in compliance with concern regulations and working closely with regulators as they assess the need for stricter rules. The puc is taking steps to help reduce nitrogen in the bay. This is the complex issue. That we have been collaborating on for over a decade Broad Coalition of scientists, engineers and policy makers studying the bay to understand how many factors including light. High temperatures and nutrient loads are affecting the health. The Research Indicates loads which start from multiple source the bay areas 37 Wastewater Agency dids not cause bloom you but may play a role on the impact of the blooms. Most wastewater plants are not required to remove nitrogen and many cannot do so without major upgrades. The wastewater agencies provided 14 Million Dollars for research to help determine when and how nitrogen removal may be necessary we have been draegsz nitrogen in the became doing this in 3 ways now. We are making longterm investments like building a new state of the art Treatment Plant that will include full stream nitrogen removal complete in the 2026. Piloting changes to the treatment process to decrease nitrogen levels during the dry weather science. Look to repurposing existing tank in other assets at our main wastewater plant they can be upgradeed remove nitrogen. I want to clear up confusion that has been part of the public conversation around upon nitrogen reduction. Recycled water does not fix nitrogen in the bay. Recycled water is a local supply used for irrigation and toilet flushing developing recycled Treatment Facilities allows communities to diversify Water Supplies and conserve Drinking Water we are constructing the west side recycle wash at ocean side plant produce recycled water for Golden Gate Park and other irrigation use. Recycled water is not a solution to the nitrogen problem in the bay the nitrogen left over from the recycle fiteration process does not disappear temperature need to bes treated or discharged. I want to note that san frap puc is working with regulatoros strategies. We are willing tooshg dap in the nitrogen removal requirements regulations evolve. Require long planning. Construction of new infrastructure in billions of dollars in regional investment. Were prepared do our part t. Is not something we can do alone. Rate pay and partners and federal colleagues working to make the investments needed. Thank you. Comments or questions. Can we have Public Comment.

The projectioners important for aisle water supply decision will speak about the risk for increasing water and sewer rates higher than projected. 2020 plan population increasing to 1. 25 million f. D. Finance reduction shows the San Francisco population declining. This is a big difference 1. 2 versus 847 thousand and lower demand means less water and sewer services.

We are the end of the agenda today. And adjourned. Thank you. A century ago, building a dam in the high country of the sierra to bring a supply of fresh water to the San Francisco bay area was a monumental undertaking. Mayor sunny jim rafh turned to michael to mastermind the project. Michael was a force of nature. Air fwant in some ways but also a mans man. He supper advised the construction and it was the greatest engineering seats in the United States. The remow location of dam and reservoir made getting to the site a challenge. They had to get access to the slopes of the Sierra Nevada so they her to build a railroad to get Construction Equipment and materials into the site. They had to generate power so they built another reservoir to generate power and they did a remarkable amount of work with much less sophisticated equipment than what we have today. Concrete for the dam was processed at a plant just upstream from the construction site, using sand and rock from the valley. Nearly 400,000 yards of cubic concrete were poured around the clock. Oshansee was a detailed oriented guy. He was having his man dig down the bedrock and they would dig and dig and pull, you know, out debris and they come and say, okay, weve gotten down. Were down far enough. We need to personally look at it and say, no, dig deeper. In may 1923, the dam was completed and named first chief engineer and behind it, an 8mile chef of the Hetch Hetchy Valley was flooded and holding back 115 billion gallons in the new reservoir. It would take another 11 years to finish the system and bring that water across california to the San Francisco bay area. This was the moment. It was made pos youre watching San Francisco rising with chris manner todays special guests im chris youre watching San Francisco rising the rebuilding and reimaging and our guests the executive director of the Homeland Security and today to talk about the city and solutions and welcome to the show. Thank you an honor to be here. Lets a start by talking about people traeld dont consider that much the business programs what does the city need to have that. Most people think of homeless they think of people they see on the street in the tenderloin and many people experiencing homeless have not visible to the average person and a lot of those people are children or older adults and families that is what we see at the department of homeless on top of homeless among the black community we dont realize there. 40 percent of our homeless populationist with the africanamericans and only 5 percent of the population today the with the africanamerican and the same thing about the communities that over represent and we we try to make sure there is equity in the system and reaching the goals not seeing by the public as much we know that housing is essentially what Everyone Needs to thrive in the community. Quite correct some of the solutions often vulnerable or smaller scale how do we expand those solutions as we go about. A attended in the homeless he roman numerals seeing none, three interventions need presentation for the people experiencing homes in the first place and pouting are ways for people to get to permanent housing on their own and need shelter so really need all three of the intefrjz for people to assess one the things we often dont understand meet people where they are and sometimes did have the documents or other things to move into housing. They maybe waiting on Disability Income or themes so we have to be prepared to have things ready to use the sheltered are reality important. We know that ultimately preservation ask one of the most important toltz we can put into our systems if people dont have that mri better off for many reasons but way cheaper to have someone out of homeless in the first place and the permanent housing is a wonderful tool for many people cant get housing on their own and needed Case Management or other services to be able to assess the other part of their life employment and things. So the home by the bay plan can you explain the basics and how to address the needs . Sure the home by the bay the Strategic Plan the 5year plan to prevent homelessness i want to do what at mayors said homeless is not just owned by the department of 40e789s but the responded didnt has to include a number of stakeholders what that requires is really a collaborative approach were really continuing to work very close with the 0 department of Public Health and Law Enforcement or the department of aye. By linking to the voices of people exercising homelessness need to create programs without listening to the people experiencing and finding what is like for them to go through the system were not going to make that better and ultimately will not be successful. Your first goal really to produce inexacerbated in our system remarkably equity and also want to reduce the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in 5 years and over all address homelessness by 15 percent your offer arching goals for us and some people said that didnt seem like enough or didnt seem bold enough to given where we are not just a a city but country wiring proud of that goal and look forward to implementing the work that it takes to get there and hoping will be can he have in 5 years. We are here the property interrupt trip to the lovely agreement can you talk about that and then maybe talk about how Public Housing will be a solution . One of the very exciting things about that building it accommodates names families in a neighborhood with Grocery Stores and transportation a little bit out of the tenderloin when we think of families with children finding places in the area that are enacted by homeless. So very again Community Space and actually have a partnership with the Housing Authority the Housing Authority has different kinds of vouches they have available and in case with the vouches we use those vouchers with the unit and help to cut the cost we have homekey dollars that provide money to the counties our acquisitions and able to leverage that. Can you you, you talk about the voucher programs how they help Public Housing and help landowners into the whole thing. Sure we have a few voucher emergency vouchers from the federal government during covid and dispersing those with the Housing Authority and the programs one they can help prevent people from 0 becoming homeless and people are in danger of becoming homeless with a necessity they can stay in the place they have and people are experienced homeless and in a shelter and kwobtd with the system the best way for them to find it themselves with the help of a case manager or a housing locate our that makes sense in San Francisco we will have a number of buildings in certain neighborhoods in San Francisco and a number of places in San Francisco we find people experiencing homeless across the decide but dont have an easy option with a number of neighborhoods so Emergency Housing Voucher Program we partnered in bay view and been successful in making sure that people from that neighborhood and that neighborhood kind of a proximity for people who have experienced homelessness with born and raised in bay view and, you know. Instead of putting them in a place across town a unit available able to work with them to find their units in the neighborhood eventually and we hope when lvrndz will see the value got a number of landowners buildings with a lot of vacancies we think that it is really um, helpful for them and hopeful for us we can Work Together and see the number of units in partnerships we can get people housed with a steady income from the rent. Thank you i appreciate you coming into here today. You know. This is great. Thank you chris appreciate that. Thats it for in episode and for sfgovtv im chris thanks fo in 1948 swensens ice cream used to make ice cream in the navy and decided to open up an ice cream shop it it takes time for the parent to put money down and diane one of the managers at zen citizen in arena hills open and serve oldfashioned ice cream.
