Id like to call forward Public Comment and i have two gentlemen here. First is peter jakemier for Public Comment. Good afternoon. First im really sorry about mayor lees untimely death. A real tragedy for the city. In reading the sfpucs week in review that ended on december 1, a couple of things jumped out at me. First was conditions at the reservoir. There were two significant storms this season. Approximately 32,000 acre feet of water available to the city. 4 of our annual average accumulation. So, that would mean the average annual accumulation is 815,000acre feet. Ill come back to that. Second was an item economic value of water in u. S. Metropolitan areas. And this is a study done by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. And this is the analysis builds on the Bay Area Council Economic Institute report. The impacts have reduced the bay area water supply prepared in response to the Water Quality control plan. I looked that up and awas kind of shocked by the poor analysis that says
June 17, 2017. Ill go throughout the highlights of presentation. On slide two here, as ms. Homs stated, our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and government auditing standards is to consider internal control. We do not do an audit over internal control. But in accordance with government auditing standards were required to consider it. Should something come to our attention, we are required to report it to you and nothing came to our attention that would merit that level of reporting. We design and implement our audit providers to gain reasonable assurance that the Financial Statements are free from material misstatement and also in accordance of government auditing standards we have to consider the entity of compliance with laws and regulations as it relates to these Financial Statements and we opine on the Financial Statements based on the results of our test work.

For those that have seen the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir its severe but it got worse the next year theres just not a good picture of that compared to this one. Those are conditions we hope not to see again. Our objectives for water supply adopted in 2008 by the commission is to survive a specific eight and a half year plan scenario from 1987 to 1992 followed by 197677 backtoback with no more than 20 rationing. Theres a lot in that and that means at the end of the drought were down to zero water. Thats survival. Thats not being able to do anything else in the future. Thats a whole other question but thats the basic scenario.

Were planninging to come back and one of the things that we to do, based on the last conversation that we had, is really talk about what were trying to solve with the Sewer System Improvement Program. You know, its broken down into three components. One is the treatment. One collection. And one is program matic stuff. And i know that collection is where Green Infrastructure is, you know, the main force of Green Infrastructure. And some of that is not only in the Sewer System Improvement Program but is really in the whole waste wa
