Spend 200 on a breathing treatment. Working class people cant pay this and they are struggling and they shouldnt have to choose between paying medication and someones life. San francisco has always stood up for families and this resolution supports this type of family to help the families and make a difference in their life and no one has to choose from their health and their lives and this will help make life affordable. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello, supervisors. My name is jessie brooks. Im an hiv aids advocate and also hiv positive. I have seen the impact that high drug pricing has had on patients. I have seen pricing copays where have to decide whether to pay the copay or to eat. Those situations. I was very active on prop d and so glad that San Francisco passed it. This drug traffic is a run away train. How do you stop a run away train . You stop it. Before long if we let it keep going its going to collapse our system. Its one of the issues that wasnt taken care of in
That if we need it. And we have water basically is what we used to supply the irrigation districts with water to maintain water in hetch hetchy reservoir. That water depends on the reservoir. It didnt look like much in flow and that water wasnt worth much. Precipitation has been normal for february. More is needed. We basically need this weekend storm to be strong and one or two more series of storms so i will be able to sleep throughout night. Until then, we have to worry about the water conditions. Well continue to evaluate the water conditions on weekly basis. The graphs are what we update on weekly basis. This is cumulative precipitation at hech hech eechlt. This is normal precipitation. Anything above that is wet and below is dry. What we have included on this well is the green line which was 2013. That was last year last water year. As you pointed out calendar 2013 was one of the driest years ever but water years run from october 1st through september 30th. We had a wet november
Water system whether or not we have seen a drop off accordingly . Well in the water system our goal was to make sure it is zero and the water systems. Oftentimes we are controlling weeds around our facilities, mosquito, larva and what they have to do with wastewater. I dont know in the affluent tom can speak to that. Colleagues . Just one quick question, steve, obviously as the ag m with water, that is the linkage for water. They talked about golf and pesticides and weve heard this at the Environment Commission, golf makes a spray like this. When it comes to water, if you find with respect to golf, does golf similarly lead to a spike in water usage whether its just plain golf in these tourments . Actually, interesting to see that graph. I would like to go back and koerment to correlate to see if there is a spike. There might be because there is nothing that looks better than the green grass. For me the interest in bringing down the usage of water especially in light of the drought and
Resource, our forests. But Carbon Pollution is not just an attack on our forests, its also an attack on our farming. Indeed, drought across the u. S. Is a huge and growing throat t to ago cull. In the state of organizer, we e had three of the worst droughts in the klamath basin. 2001, then the worstever drought of 2010, and then the worstever drought of 2013, and now were looking at the possibly of the worse of any drought in 2014. Hopefully well have a lot of precipitation and a lot of snow in the coming weeks and that wont be the case. But if you were looking right now just at the snowpack, it is possibly well have the fourth worstever in a 14year period. This is devastating to our rural farming economy. Absolutely devastating. And so lets take a look at the impact of coming from smaller snowpacks. Snowpacks are a significant piece of this puzzle. And if we were to take and look at the Pacific Northwest and we were to basically draw a circle about like this, what you see are these zo
Are counting on a lot there and hope to get over the top for in city use. Outside of San Francisco, we are lagging behind and thats where we are working with our wholesale can ustomers to try to make sure we get their use down as well. We are reevaluating how to get that out there to make sure the message is strong and clear and that we all need to conserve. Is it for the can ustomers and citizens and residents that have the biggest impact . The wholesale can ustomers we sell to the water districts. Thats where we hit them and and their obligation to go to their can ustomers. We are working with an add campaign to get to the can ustomers regard lers regardless of the area they are in. Rain baerls . Barrels . Yes. We need to have that element come into place. Thats something we have funded over time. As an Incentive Program for people to put in place before . Yes. In time for next winter so when there is some precipitation capture it and use it. Thanks commissioner. Commissioner walt .
