They felt [inaudible] they did want feel complex. I was like, i have a different frame i like to see the world shaped by. My grandsmother was a teacher and taught special education for 40 years in los angeles and when i was growing up she inspired me to record everything. We recorded our conversations, we recorded the [inaudible] we recorded everything to cassette players. Learning multimedia skills, from the other crossover Employment Opportunities for young people. Someone who grew up in la rks San Francisco feels like a small town. I lived in Western Addition and i was looking for someone to cut my hair, i found [inaudible] he seemed like a very interesting guy and grew up in the neighborhood and had a lot to say about something that was foreign to me. That local perspective and so important to me because i think as some
It is climate change. As we lose sorry, it gets a little geeky. As we lose the snowpack and as it retreats over time, we will have more rain and less snow and we use the snowpack as an additional reservoir to melt ours slowly and we can control it. We have a the junior water rights holder. We have to release water to them we are looking at the longterm picture here of what additional Water Supplies we could bring on in the next 30 years. Ok. Supervisor peskin, i know you have a question. Isnt a will serve ledger a will serve ledger . What is the difference between market rate housing at Affordable Housing . There is no difference. It came out of a case with east bay mod of more than two decades ago for a Development Project where they said they didnt have any water to serve them and they change the legislation in the code says you have to have a water supply assessment. And what it entails is do you have enough water . If you dont, give us your plan to supply enough water to serve the
Water if we were to stick to the 25 of rationing. This is a drought planning scenario that was developed in 1994 after the 1987 through 1992 drought and it adds onto the 1976 drought. White that is important is because we codify this policy when we did the Water Improvement Program back in 2008 and we did an Environmental Impact report on this. This is a policy we have in place and have been operating on for decades. Is a very prudent policy to have in place given Climate Change and other things that are happening in the world. What are the consequences of the state plan . It is a supply shortfall. We would be short about one half of our total water supply during a drought. So we serve about 200 million gallons a day. We would have to make up about 100 million gallons. So we would have three options that we would look at to make up the difference. One is we would have the status quo and we have a five year drought and we run out of water in five years. The second option is to develop a
The alternative point we have has functional flows, signed bait sciencebased nonflow measures and we think that a negotiated settlement is superior to the solutions we propose because we dont want it to get to litigation over this. We are trying to avoid that. We continue to negotiate on a practically daily basis with the state. We will be negotiating with them this week as well. We have been pretty instrumental in getting other people to the table which is important. Especially the irrigation districts. They look to us for leadership and trying to reach resolutions. You have to remember they have a lot more water than we do. As we go forward, i would be glad to keep you informed of the negotiated settlements and ill be glad to answer any questions. Thank you for the presentation. I want to end it that we want to thank peskins office because there was a gap between the original resolution and so we worked with them and we feel that we are at a place where we feel comfortable with the r
