Buildings greater than 250,000 ft. 2 also include facilities for water recycling. In this era of unbridled Climate Change and what will likely be continued in systemic drought in california we need to be smarter about how we use water and not treat it as a Precious Resource it really is good today ordinance clarifies that project with zero months but of multiple buildings. That those multiple billings count towards the 250,000 square foot prussia did this with the original intent of our ordinance back when we authored it in 2005 but theres been a little bit of disagreement and that language. Today we are here to clarify that. Webasically thats good im happy to have your support. The puc is here if youd like a quick primer on water recycling but that is that you were leisure i think will go to Public Comment. Any Public Comment on item 5 . Mr. , welcome back.

We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on
