Org those will be translated into spanish and chinese and again, if you live in district 5 and 8 seeing them on billboards and transient shelters and the muni station. What does the small print say. It actually not that small those transit shelters are tie and the billiards are huge so below here the logo the sfpuc logos clean energy is on its way to you on the advisements will be larger theyre a little bit small on the escalated down versions is there any context information on that. The website cleanpowersf. Org slash interslar to renovate, upgrade thats the primary purpose to push our website. And then in were at the coal festival and this week the castro street fair and been to Community Groups in district 5 and 8 being in the neighborhood talking with the primarily the residents any questions. I have a question. Sure. Why did we select district 5 and 8 . So we found over the past couple of years we did the Research Projects that the electrical customers in residential electrical customers in 5 and 8 will most likely stay with the program i dont have the mans but a couple of years ago the heat maps and the areas of city perform best on the surveys that was district 5 and 8 when we put together the plan or the Enrollment Plan a year ago we wanted to start with the places we knew that customers were repetitive to the areas with a low opt out rates thats why we choose districts 5 and 8. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners any other questions or comments any Public Comment . On this item okay. Seeing none so well think move on to the next two items with eric and a budget update. Can i have the slides please eric sandler cfo and assistant manager i have two brief presentations for you the first regularities relates to the budgetary report weve submitted Financial Statement to the auditors that are auditing the money map and followed by a kind of and recap of the financial budget. First in terms of the q4 preaudit major themes youve heard them water and wastewater suffered from the revenues as a result of drought condition this is significant so for light Water Infrastructure 57 million about 12 percent of total revenues 11 million or 4 percent for the wastewater intermits and 10 million or 5 for the power enterprise fortunately, we mitigated reductions in revenue with the productions many of them were one time in nature thank you the good news that the Financial Results met all the policy target for the reserve and coverage. So the water enterprise as i mentioned suffered from reduced revenues to 57 million the largest share was 43 million drop the offsetting uses mitigating the reductions were primarily one time savings to our fiscal year 15 funding that reduced the debt service and provisions as to set aside money for Debt Services 16 million for cut off and didnt use reserves the enterprise was down 20 million on the budget. The wastewater enterprise lower Financial Impact 11 million and we were able to balance that exactly 7. 7 million was one time close out thank you. Im getting a lot of help today thank you. And the wastewater enterprise ended flat the power enterprise has reduced revenues from lower sales to the s pb and a significant saved 18 plus savings in distribution salesforce thats primarily thats a reduction in the costs doesnt materialize to be what they expected but a function of north off the sounds like so reduction in transition cost is less than the 18 point plus in the line item but the power enterprise ended the year to the good siengsz we met all the reserve ratios and the debt ratios and mindful over the next two years that were still in a post it is your of frugality were experiencing reduced revenues ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioners, any questions. I have one the memo that attached to this item says the water sales were one and 70 two plus how does that compare with what our budget assumes for the current year and thats our budget assumption. A little bit higher. Okay. Inch spoken to mr. Sandler about one thing to pursue over the next month to raise to the commission a policy how we deal with any revenues that are generated because we exceed consumption target my thinking we have assumed a level of continued conservatism if 124 is not correct that additional revenue can, a funding of the resource for the distribution programs thats a tip of the iceberg kind of description of my interests i want to make sure that that we continue to presto make our con such as this estimates really if theyre not real they generate a plan and process how to take away a portion and put that into the conservatism program if we have a draft before the commission in the next two or three meetings that would be great okay. Thank you oh, and the other thing for cleanpowersf comment working capital reserves are 3. Million whats thats part of what we are building up what is the end target on that. 3 months operating expenses that is 25 percent thats a little bit above operating reserve 5 million. 5 modified so. So its were looking at a month and a half of results it results during the high margin part of year working capital low fluctuate over the year i wouldnt look at that number and incorporate sounds like weve made it twice over. Thats obviously something we want to keep an eye on that was part of the trigger to think about what else we can do with revenue of costs are in terms of what the build out i know well keeping an eye on that. Some do not will be more meaningful. Any other questions or comments . By Public Comment or questions. Mr. Sandler appreciate your bio annual update. Next item weve spent a lot of time in the winter and spring working on the bilingual budget the between a rock and a hard place that you adopted in february for fiscal year 2020 r 20172018 and once the budget leaves the Commission Like the bill carton a life after Commission Adoption one of the things to report on what happened that is what this particular presentation and here the schedule here owls all the stuff that happened after the Commission Consideration and adoption after february 89 we submitted to the mayor and the controller and then i take the un in march took it to the Capital Budget committee and recommended to the board of supervisors then in may both the capital and operating budget were reviewed the board approved the Capital Budget in early june and the mayor signed it in late june and the board approved that and finally signed the annual appropriation an annual salary ordinance representing the citywide operating budget and then we will be submitting a formal budget to the government and Financial Officers association for review. Just to recap youll remember the Budget Priorities were about looufrn cleanpowersf youve heard about the launch for the last few months were implementing the ssip and completing it increasing the pace of our meeting demands of new development and managing the impacts of drought now there were not many changes in the budget we had a couple of technical adjustment what we realized after it left the commission on february 9th that our response to cleanpowersf enforcement was much grandchildren to opt out to the lower and the revenues and expenses to cleanpowersf were higher and now sufficient so for next year and on the capital side we also had appropriated money in the operating budget for long term modernization and many of those can be bond funded we switched from operating to capital and in addition, we had 5. 9 million of developer contributions for the substation we added to the capitol budget these are the subsequent during the course and looks similar to what you adopted here as you can see for fiscal year 20172018 we have it by wastewater and hetch hetchy and put cleanpowersf you see what the board submitted. What the mayor approved the net impact for fiscal year 2017 for the migrating operating budget and results in a no change to the budget for fiscal year 17 and then in 20152016 as you can see the impact of the increased expenses for Energy Purchasing increased the budget. On the Capital Budget here we have the two year appropriation by water and hetch hetchy and as you can see in the first year an increase primarily because of the 12 million for mitigation monitoring and the 5. 5 million for the water substation in 2018 no change so thats the recap of the process the punctuation mark ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Okay commissioners . We are just 0 refresher our memories clearly in the first year so the budget consideration of wastewater will be less involved in the 09 years. Any mid cycle adjustment we see we think are necessary well be presenting to you. Submit now capital extensions or projects every single year. We try not to if we need to accommodate we can put them in the supplemental request and we try to follow our 10 year capital plan but do more rigorous capital plan. The point not to do the full on process every year. Well talked about if i call it the off year to do a review of our various policies that drive the budget what are the plans for could go this cycle. We will be picking up that again. Thats an opportunity if we choose to make any changes in the policy that gives us plenty of warning to feed that into the next between a rock and a hard place coalition. One of the group of policies that drives the revenue requirement the financial policies well be considering as part of rate study were planning to bring those sometime and doing work and hopefully present you a revenue and recommendation. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions or comments from the public seeing none, well move on. So the next item. Is 9 water shed update mr. Richie. Good afternoon steve richie assistant general manager for waters if i can have the slides please ill provide an education and Recreation Program first of all, for the water shed it is 23 acres of water from the spring Value Company in 19 thirty it includes the san mateo and creek water sheds and the feetdz into the san andreas reservoirs a fish refugee and the only fish and game for the this is the only finish and game refugee and it is part of golden gate bio reservoir this is a photo of water shed particularly showing the Mission Creek canyon and in decision with the staff it is close to an urban area it is close to a play for the water shed management commissioner will recall that a Management Plan adopted in 2002 for the guidance the water shed includes maintaining improved the quality and Public Safety and provide for education and recreational compatible with other goals that clearly protecting the Water Quality is the number one goal and the Commission Adopted the water Environmental Stewardship in 2006 and the Foundation Plan was supporting the recession of species and their habitats there are 31 miles of existing trails in the water shed two primary northsouth trails the Crystal Springs that is managed by san mateo and the bay area that is managed by us as anticipated in the peninsula water shed weve been pursuing 3 trades it the bay area expansion and the noting santa ana dress and the improvements heres a map showing the trails the black dash lines the existing trails that run two linear courses and the dashed lines the additional trails the plan with the santa ana dress and towards the southern end and the chrysler springs on the right hand side of the map ill talk about those briefly this is 6 million between highway 22 and outside the water shed at the southern end the initial initiation of public review is market 17 for that we expect to complete the Environmental Review and start that project in 2018 on the trail by the end of 2018 and not anticipated federal Environmental Review but turned out there was a small grant we received from the state of california and turned out to have federal money we had to do federal environment in retrospect im not sure we would have done that the sonya affordable unit dress to be completed by december of this year and expect the construction in 2019 and this is a photo of the peninsula trail the ridge trail and this is open for the dos recreational hikes and bikes another trail project one being run by san mateo parks in the lower Crystal Springs we have south of highway 92 permitted issues this is currently on hold theyre trying to deal with dangerous species issues and east perimeter trails the county is working on there is one trail project that was not in the plan the whiteing ridge connection our their general manager plan not included in the plan in 2002 but made Property Acquisitions to make this more relevant this will go from the coast up to the ridge line on the northern end of the water shed it is generally consistent with the strategy to sure k345r7b8 compatible with other goals keeping them on the perimeter of the water shed discussion are underway with the development of this proposal trail management is circling done particularly for the ridge trail again that is the dos led groups proposing to move to an annual bid system coupled with that because the permit that got changed requires the Environmental Review you cant change it to make that policy decision were considering 7 days a week theyre aware to assess the trail and trail use this is a program that is very similar to what the east bay used for their mud trails in the east bay area so in summary well move forward with 3 projects identified in the original plan with the good Bay Area Council and san mateo parks, the proposed renal and the new policies and opportunities were looking at developing a local permitting system and with everything proposed operations need to be in the balance of the Drinking Water for the protection of goals theres been a lot of activity by a group to open the water shed to press for more opening of the trades in the peninsula the board of supervisors is considering the resolution urging did puc to open the water shed and report by next march on the current projects and possible additional proposals to open more water sheds again, the board of supervisors resolution that urges the commission but cannot dictate what can be done in the matter that is being heard although i understand that supervisor avalos who is largely the sponsor is not able to attend the board of supervisors meeting it maybe put off today ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioner tang. On the surface i dont like it i see no reap to introduce more people into our waterproofing and i do that your primary concern is water and protection of so with that, said how is this permit just going to work. The way it is anticipated to work this is not flushed 0 out in detail yet is that you will have to register youll have to have the permit with you all the times similar to other things youll have to pad the test to make sure you read through the regulations and responsibilities as if you cant pursues the permit with requested by a staff person well have folks patrolling the trails youll losses the trail privilege for one year or 5 years or lifetime. Any them be dos. Well continue that program for sure. Well have a combination of both. Yes. Not all will be dos. Not all dos led. Okay may i have the map in chloroform. Actually, i, assess the one here. Okay. Im just thinking about all of that stuff. Thats all my questions now. Commissioners. Yeah id like to echo commissioner caens concerns the safety of water shed and by the exit of area is very important so i just want to echo similar concerns about seizing that area just because you can doesnt mean you should. Did you see that the change that that change of policy is requires ceqa review. Yeah. For the for construction the trail construction for changing the management approach to San Francisco that more open is for a permitting system. I know one way we first adopted the dos a program that was a very conservative approach and came out of concerns echoed this afternoon a lot to do with the trail complex between e train concerns trails about the trails unsupervised and the trail erosion that sort of thing i assume that was quite a few years ago i assume we have a rich history well help to inform our decision considering the conflict and other things to make sure theyre managed and that will be part of Environmental Review. Thats correct. As well. Okay. Well, i think that is helpful when the Environmental Review comes back to us the kinds of things i know ill be looking for and sounds like commissioner caen has similar concerns to make sure as we consider expanding assess to the water shed our first job is also experience the protection of the water supply for the city and for our suburban customers as well and that will have full treatment as part of eir. Yes. Thats correct ill be remiss if i didnt point out im sure you saw a number of individual emails i think that doovk gives a number of emails from people that point an open water shed and those are all dirt roads open everything tomorrow whats the problem a large number of folks that focused on the environmental impacts was a gentleman what very Telegraph Hill involved in 280 when it was constructed he has a lot of history of that discussion and wanted to make sure that his voice was heard and passed that on i think that was addressed to the supervisors and definitely pass that on to the board of supervisors. When we went through this before a lot of experience not only the east bay mud but the mull another one with an go extensive water shed and very different kinds of experiences they had and we looked to and learned from them as well. I reminded of a comment that one of the water shed managers made in the public discussion he said your community loves our water shed their loving them to death. I have one water shed person to radar guns to monitor the speed of water. Okay a lot to think about i think my colleague this is a pubically owned asset and one with a particular purpose and make sure that purpose is protected as we consider the ways to assess we have some speaker cards molten. I have one last question who is responsible for enforcement the state park rangers. Thats us. We coordinate with San Mateo Sheriffs Department and many from time to time architectural operations at the water shed to be cleaned up and removed about one a year Something Like that so we do a lot with the county and with calfire in the water shed. Thats a richie question puc has a long enforcement arm that enforces the regulations here. They dont carry firearms and no formal relationship. The county sheriffs are deputized but not carry firearms but hand out citation and things of that nature. Thanks. Okay. I have 3 speaker cards marshall. Thank you very much im appearing here on behalf of the asking you Audubon Society id like to commend the commission on considering this issue id like to make a couple of points wards to this no one actually is really being deprived of the experiences that the water shed could offer without offering the water shed itself there are many areas within a short small radius of the city that offer those kinds of opportunities but the down side of opening the water shed on a limited basis history has shown that once you open those kinds of areas theres intentional pressure and requests for more opening more activities and so on as much as Mountain Biking and so on this water shed area is a very important environmentally and ecologyly sensitive area a number of skaurgsz species that will be disrupted we have eagles and other types of sdaurgsz species in summary having pointed out those points there the selfresidence peninsula and visitors and tourist from other areas have any other opportunity in close approximate proximity there are trails on the east side that are miles long that offer opportunity to go along and no compelling interests in opening this to will you for further degradation and fire issues and for example, if there were a Mountain Lion connotation in that area there will be issues related to degrading the relationship between predator prey and so on this is not a good idea maybe some people that want to open up every area everywhere but the Commission Recognizes spiritual sensitivity i urge you to do the same and the additional agreement on the water shed purposed by San Francisco recognized those issues and that it shouldnt be open to more Public Traffic and i encourage you to you honor that long term commitment and not on the water shed to more traffic thank you. Thank you. Lenny robert. Good afternoon commissioners im lenny robert and speaking for green foothills in santa clara couldnt thank you for the opportunity over 50 years weve been promoting access to the bay and the development of trails as well as promoting the additional park lanes and most of parks and open space visitors in the were largely due to the efforts of citizens including our organizations we respectfully disagree with the staffs recommendation for the unmanaged unoccupied and in this remote area the ridge sort of other connecting areas the pencil water shed is a protected water shed and a refuge not a park and not contemplated as a park when the Mission District had a park thats a different kind of place proponent are taunting the responsible assess im sure youre aware not everybody behaves responsibly and the final eir for the management quote although most recreational users consider themselves responsible a percentage will inevolving violate the assess and engage in illegal trespass and building of unauthorized trails a significant issue for erosion and sedimentation in the reservoirs and further one match to turn 24 into is a discharge place the rim fire your paving aware of and other fires were started with illegal camp fires hundreds of trails throughout the peninsula for unrestrict assess two which we werent of the sierra club and audubon and the native Plant Society and the committee for the green hills are the major organizations all support expanding the dos a program only 3 days a week and make is that days easy for people to use it and also were partner with San Francisco and peninsula schools and 09 Community Organizations like latino extension to the sierra club that will help exclusive the goal of increased assess and recreational access to and protect the celebrated Water Quality and seattle and other cities have Educational Opportunities in theyre fully protected water sheds and San Francisco, california do the same thank you for listening and thank you also for your comments i know that you have this responsibility take is seriously and we totally support that thank you. Thank you. Peter. I hope i got the pronunciation of that. Dont worry about the pronunciation in chinese it is one sill building ill peter i live in the southeast corner of San Francisco and lucky to live there over 40 years never gorl gone to the peninsula water shed and i never will go it is not a park and it is not that Recreation Area we have youre aware im sure 60 thousand acres of open Peninsula Open Space people coming from the southeast corner run into huge the huge parks san bruno from San Francisco heading south you run into the ridge and the mountains 60 plus thousand spaces of open trails surrounding the water shed the water shed is opted out by red tailed frogs and Mountain Lions and nature plant and sunflower and the gentleman from the Audubon Society mentioned if you have individuals going out into the water shed loan what if they get attacked by a Mountain Lion who should be hunted down for that offense we opened the door for some political reasons oh, my god weve opened you it is meaning so many politicians think we need to open up more land i dont think that supervisors know we have 60 thousand acres of open space we need to open more land it is for to thinking we as human beings need to think in the 21st century is the 6 extension were wiping out a number of species and think we need to protect land easier and other animals against the greatest ape the human being we need to protect the land areas and say no, no, no stop assess instead of saying expand you know you are mindful people and conscious people i want to say that we have an obligation were destroying all the continents atas and americans we need to protect and make them off limits i is support the expanded dos programs please dont let people in unauthorized bring a family how many what that permit person bring 15 family members thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment . Any additional comment if the commissioners and i want to echo the last speakers comments my oldest daughter is a bird specialist and knowing there are areas that are not meant to be assessable for birds ill okay. If we dont see species in a period of time shes okay with that the specifically intended for public space and protecting the water shed and the bio areas means we dont allow the traffic flow not meant to be assessable i want to thank the prior speakers comment. Thank you commissioners mr. General manager. So i have to other items on and on not on the agenda first, the marsh expire mr. Richie will do that a fire broken out near moccasin yesterday.
