Approval of the minutes. Ill move approval. Alright. Everybody signify by saying aye. Sorry, Public Comment on the minutes. There being none, all those in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Public comments . And the first person i always have on the list is the honorable francisco tacosta. Welcome. Commissioners, my name is Francisco Decosta and you know i come here from time to time to address you on the certain pertinent issues. Commissioners, many years ago, i was appointed by the first people of this area to address the issues on things like the infrastructure resources, disclosure and so on and so forth. Today, you will see many people come out of the woodwork to address about our resources. The paradoxes, these are the same people that raped this land and way back in 1913, if you read the record act, this city and certain legislators took the right direction by opting and going for and financing clean power, what we call hydro electricity, so you will see today many people come o
Fail where the people in i ohio were not able to access their water. We need to centralised the system. We can have a sewage system so even with the tap water system. I was studying the plan that was put out. If you put a filtration system telling the kids to drink this water, if this earthquake damages the school, you may have the houses go down and your house maybe the only one standing, and people will ask to use your restroom. If you have your own system that only operated in your community and theirs went down, they can use yours because its still up and running. Because we dont have anything available that says yes, this is going to withstand an earthquake. We didnt participate in the geo is survey to talk about what is happening. When they say the United States is going to have some major issues with water reliability california wasnt the state and today we are the worst state in the union. I think we need to look at what we have available. We didnt plan inform that and we just

Commissioners, today i want to briefly speak about. You wanted to wait until item 5, is that correct . No. I have two cards. Got it. I think item 5 i will respond when that time comes. Okay. So thank you for giving me three minutes. So i wanted to speak a little bit about Community Benefits. So in the past, we have had a lot of experience just one of you all knows a lot about the water system Improvement Project when it comes to the Community Benefits. And having said that i wont go into the details of how those Community Benefits filtered down to san franciscans, because one of the reasons given, it went here, there and everywhere because it was regionwide. But when we talk about the sewer system Improvement Project, its in your backyard. Meaning, its meant for san franciscans. So right now some of us in the comm
Union and you are poised now during the time of the sewer system Improvement Project and all of the projects to do the right thing, getting our young people both men and woman good jobs so there is some sort of upward mobility that we talk about, but do little about it. Commissioner anson moran, you have a lot of experience having been a general manager and having seen it all, and its always a pleasure to see you ask the right questions and throw the curveball. My strengths are infrastructure. I did that for a long time and when i came to the bayview, my monitoring of the 3rd street light rail, the power plants, have allowed me to share my experience with thousands of people. I take my job seriously and from time to time, i send my blogs to yall, so you yall know how i feel about it. I look forward to working with this commission, so that you do it the right thing and with the general manager, too. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Decosta.
