Walton i pulled item this is a retroactive resolution the comment for the reason why this was late because because it says as of december 2016 cb e and an orientation didnt need recertificate for a professional agreement for the i p plan but the fund it is going to listened im not clear on the there are not if their inspired why are we paying them i need an explanation please chief is out of district but barbara can explain predict. The reason that came up so it was there is status transition they did not to be an mp a we had agreements with family made with those services that supplied so in order to actually go forward with our promises we had to convert them to a professional Service Agreement we wrote it as a retrofit were in a condition we had those comments not a retroactive but to contract. So the limited ballot is still a provider that we recognize and there are going to continue to do do service theyre just switching their status im sure clear what what is different from they were before to who they are now. Theyve not changed ultimately but how they stand with the department of ed not a Nonpublic Agency that is a different contract. So theyre providing the same service not as a theyre not an mta. That would be helpful maybe a little bit more clear next time it looks like theyre no longer a eligible serve provider. So hopefully it will not come up again. Just to fairness to staff until we have the agreement we didnt release theyre a certificate but swifrpd over to the psa status on the contract. Thank you ms. Eng and ms. Zaragoza mr. Cook mr.

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