The first part of the water year from october to december was incredibly wet and then it stopped. So the calendar 2013 was totally dry. But we really had a big early in water year 2013 which happened in november and december of 2012. So is there something we can do to capture that rain to be smarter in the event we start seeing these patterns and when it dries up early on at least weve put out our barrels and being able to capture the best we can . Yes, we are moving forward to revitalize the rain and water enter prize and in terms of our reservoirs we operate them conservatively each year and right now we are more interested in getting water into our reservoirs than getting ready for some mythical flood. We are looking for ways to ensure water in the best way we can. Nothing more we can do . There is always a little bit more. The residue voice reservoirs is where we are going to make our big effort and being able to store it is big. It gets used fairly quickly so it needs to be consta
Those are still and fouling following whats really happening. We do have the experts in place to address what is happening. Some of it in good faith was addressed, and im talking about calaveras and then we had to deal with removal of over 2 million tons of dirt. Thats not a joke, but its being done. If you read yesterdays, todays news, the United States geological is survey is talking about the hayward fault. If anybody knows where that fault is its very near calaveras. Im not saying that we are not ready for the big one, but what i am saying is that this particular project should have been done some years ago.

Now, we know that that project is not a very easy project because of many elements. The constraints of being in a general area.

The city has put together a task force to look at this issue obviously from the port of San Francisco but also significant impacts you the sf puc because of what runs along the perimeter of the bay and you can see its chaired by mr. David be har with the puc. He was out sick today. We have the guidance. So the city has taken a look at guidance and the science kind of varies. They have looked at the least scenario and the possible scenario and we have the 2050 as the midhorizon and 2100 horizon. They have suggested the half of the scales, but at least we now have general science agreement on what the potential Sea Level Rises are for the bay area looking into future. If you look at our overall process we have t
Commission received a memo september 23rd saying the federal Head Start Program selected wu yee as the existing operator for the Head Start Program. It wasnt selecting wu yee. There is a federal Head Start Program that selected the Program Operator and when that decision was made it went to the south commission which our staff have talked to those commissioners and the folks responding to that memo. There is no action the commission was making. It was the replacement of the operator and the existing foot print. Who years ago we talked about all of these tennants at the communitys Southeast Commission. The Head Start Program was always clearly going to remain as a program out of the Southeast Community center. So we talked about the tennants and the pace that city college has asked for its always been baseline the Head Start Program was going to be there and all the information we got from the Community Requested that subsidized child care is happening in the center. From my understandi

Thats why we look at the ground water projects of replenishing ground water so when we have it, we have another form of storage. We charge the ground water. The storage that we can use in dry years, something that will be there when we most need it. Mr. Kelly, to clarify that, im a really big advocate of storage, however thats done is another thing.
