Waste system improvement project, and we were not, i repeat, not lose on the sewer system improvement project. Because i have over 500 young men, i brought some of them here. I dont want to fill this chamber with some strong men. I dont want to go there, but we will not lose unless we have meaningful discussion with the union involved. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yes, sir. Thank you, commissioners, art jensen with bosca. I think this is a great thing the commission did when they extend it had to a Regional Program to include workers outside San Francisco that are paying twothirds of the water bills and contributing to the success of the system. One question i had about the wording, and i think its fine the way i interpret it. It talks about projects done in conjunction with bosca member agencies where there is a cost sharing arrangement. And i wanted to mayke it simply matt i can this afternoon. If that includes projects not only on behalf of member agencies and with memb
B. 5. And to increase the contracting opportunity to the sfpuclb contractors. Im an electric lal contractor, electrical engineer in your regional areas where you conduct business. So, i can see firmly where this endorsement will increase opportunities for contractors within the footprint of San Francisco and also 70 miles outside. Currently theres approximately around i would say 240 lbes and with this endorsement, this will have more opportunities for future lbes, especially in this economic current that were in. San francisco publb the firms i contacted, small firms Advisory Committee, we look forward to the city and county of San Francisco passing this ordinance and for the mayor to sign it. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. [speaker not understood]. Commissioners, this is a pretty complicated situation.

Contacted, small firms Advisory Committee, we look forward to the city and county of San Francisco passing this ordinance and for the mayor to sign it. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. [speaker not understood]. Commissioners, this is a pretty complicated situation. And in order to go and fully understand this lbe situation, you have to have a good grasp of the labor project agreements and that is why its good that you have one of you sitting there as a commissioner who can give input about the labor project agreements. Now, when we had the water system improvement project, unfortunately, we in San Francisco, meaning lbes and many employees did not benefit from many of the job opportunities. And even at the tail end, what was given to us were jobs where nobody else could do it. And i can relay this project by project, and i have before harlan kelly, ed harrington, karen cubic, tyrone ju, and they kind of understand about this situation. Now, what we have here is we have the hrc
On item g and actually let me go at it one at a time. Item g, i would hope there would be a report back on what is found with the additional testing in san bruno and how that relates to the groundwater storage project on the west side. A point, mr. Richy, is that the usually course of business . [inaudible]. Okay. Thank you. And on item j, the extension of the joint Powers Agreement with bayshore, i understand the need for that because it appears that negotiations are ongoing. It would have been better, in my opinion, had that come before the commission before the expiration of the agreement at the end of september. So, if that were possible in the future, i just would prefer not to see retroactive actions like that. And finally, on item k, on the appointment to the sjta, which i did not even know existed, for bodies like that and other bodies on which members of staff or the commission served, it would be nice to get some periodic report as to what is happening, particularly in the ce
Project, and i have before harlan kelly, ed harrington, karen cubic, tyrone ju, and they kind of understand about this situation. Now, what we have here is we have the hrc abruptly transferring compliance officers who deal with lb situations and other compliance officers to the city administrators office. Then you have you guys in the middle of the situation changing the rules without really getting the input from the lbes. Nobody who is not a san franciscan should come here and say, i spoke to some lbes in San Francisco and they kind of agree to go with the flow. That doesnt work. We dont want to badger sfpuc. But the fact is we lost on the waste system improvement project, and we were not, i repeat, not lose on the sewer system improvement project. Because i have over 500 young men, i brought some of them here. I dont want to fill this chamber with some strong men. I dont want to go there, but we will not lose unless we have meaningful discussion with the union involved. Thank you ve
