Mr. Drekmeier urged the Commissioners to un-link the necessary work being done to renovate the Hetch Hechy water system and preserve the wild and scenic nature of the river by avoiding any further diversion and consider options that would promote conservation and sustainability.
7d. Mr. Francisco Da Costa, Environmental Justice Advocacy, noted that the waters from Hetch Hechy were the birthright of the First People and that it was essential that the Commissioners remain aware of the spiritual dimension of this precious resource that Mr. Da Costa suggested was being wasted through leaky pipes that no one was doing anything about.
8. Citizens Advisory Committee Report
a) Update Report by Mr. Alex Lantsberg, Chair, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Citizen’s Advisory Committee Lorie Schuman, representing the Bayview, presented a high level summary of the activities of the Citizens Advisory Committee highlighting several resolutions adopted by the Citizens Advisory Committee, noting in particular recommendations for the Planning Commission to undertake quick action on the Project Environmental Impact Review (PEIR), and asking that the Commission institute an Environmental Justice Advisory Committee, recommending authorization of four specific pilot projects to demonstrate the Commissioner’s commitment to environmental justice.
Public Comment:
Mr. Francisco Da Costa, an environmental activist, noted that only two Commissioners had been involved in the approval of a cross town tunnel to redirect flow away from the Bayview and concerning the potential impact of 80,000 homes expected to be developed in the Southeastern neighborhoods. Mr. Da Costa urged that the Commissioners visit the Southeast Plant and discuss its operations with the Community. Mr. Da Costa also noted that global warming would have a serious impact on the functioning of this plant and that this very outdated facility cannot handle the likely increased flow.
Ms. Jennifer Clary, Clean Water Action and the Citizens Advisory Committee, followed up on the recommendations for creation of an Environmental Justice Advisory body and noted that there were a number of serious issue that this body could address and that she hoped the Commission would follow through and make this a priority.

REGULAR BUSINESS
11. Discussion and possible action related to hear testimony pursuant to Assembly Bill 1823, California Statues of 2002, discussion and possible action related to approving revisions to the Waster System Improvement Program’s Budget and Schedule. (Continued from the Special Meeting of February 12, 2008).
Moved by Vice President Normandy, seconded by Commissioner Hochschild, to adopt the following resolution; passed (4-0 Caen, Normandy, Hochschild and Crowley unanimously.
Resolution No. 08-0024:
Approve revisions to the Water System Improvement Program’s Budget and Schedule.
Water System Improvement Program Manager Julie Labonte recounted the various meetings and hearing as well as the three workshops held by the Commission prior to the posting of the required public notices that led to this point. Ms. LaBonte then focused on staff written response to the comments of submitted by BAWSCA and Mr. Steve Lawrence.
First, Ms. Labonte responded in detail to the thoughtful comments offered by BAWSCA to concerns with the seismic safety and reliability aspects of the WSIP. Ms. Labonte outlined in detail the many steps undertaken to promote seismic reliability and have in place as best could be done given the uncertainties of seismic design and A Pipeline Repair and Readiness group working on response to any level of seismic events. Next, Ms. Labonte addressed BAWSCA’s question concerning speeding up the schedule for Bay division Pipeline #Three and #Four at the Hayward Fault noting that this was among staff’s most challenging engineering design problems and that both items would be sufficiently advanced to enable a report to the Commission in the fall. Next Ms. Labonte noted BAWSCA’s concerns with the need for geotechnical improvements at the Harry Tracy Plant and proposed a report back to the Commission later in 2008.
Turning next to Mr. Lawrence’s many project specific comments asking for a rationale for the program changes that staff had undertaken as the Program has moved forward Ms. Labonte in response to his first query noted that continuous monitoring allowed very close watch on pipeline conditions eliminating the need for some activities originally proposed in this regard. Next, Ms. Labonte addressed Mr. Lawrence’s concerns with what he perceived to be large increases in project management costs. Lastly, Ms. Labonte responded to Mr. Lawrence’s question concerning changed plans for the dimensions proposed for the Irvington Tunnel. Ms. Labonte noted that efforts were constantly ongoing to resolve outstanding uncertainties and that the recommended changes were prudent at this time to undertake risk mitigation aggressively and then do evaluation of the program as major milestones such as the Project Environmental Review (PEIR) were completed as the Program goes forward. The WSIP Manager concluded by recommending that the Commissioners adopt the changes in the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) Budget and Schedule as developed during the three workshops and vetted by our project partners.
Public Comment:
Ms. Nicole Sandkulla representing BAWSCA, called attention to the comments that BAWSCA had submitted. Ms. Sandkulla then offered several suggestions and discussed concerns about the reliability of the Sunol Facility; asking that a report be given to the Commission during 2008, asked regarding the Bay Division Pipelines Three and Four that this project be monitored through regular reports, approved that the geotechnical questions related to the Harry Tracy Plant were being further evaluated, and applauded the high degree of cooperation offered by WSIP staff.
In response to a question by President Caen concerning the outlook for additional program delays, Ms. Labonte replied that as the Program gets into construction after next year the way forward should become much more clear even given the challenges brought on by actually constructing the projects especially given the very competitive environment but that the Program was in the best condition that it has ever been. In response to a question by Vice President Normandy, Ms. Labonte indicated that substantial agreement had been reached with BAWSCA given their very constructive posture and excellent working relationship. Regarding Mr. Lawrence’s questions Ms. Labonte noted all of his questions have been answered at the cost of devoting a great many resources and that staff made every effort to comply as fully as they could. Vice President Normandy applauded the efforts to continue to build cooperative relationships and constructive comments are being given serious attention so that the best possible results could be achieved. Vice President Normandy noted that this approval process occurred under the gun of state oversight and with a full discussion.
12. Public Hearing to consider budget proposals for the Operating and Capital Budgets for the enterprises and bureaus under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for FY 2008-2009, and possible action. (Persons who are unable to attend the public hearings may submit to the City, by the time the proceedings begin, written comments regarding the subject of the hearing.) These comments will be brought to the attention of the Commission and will become a part of the official public record. Written comments can be sent to: Michael Housh, Commission Secretary, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, 1155 Market Street, 11th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103. (Continued from the Special Meetings of February 12, and February 15, 2008).
Mr. Scott MacDonald reported on the various responses to questions raised by the Commissioners during the previous two budget meetings including memo from the Commission Secretary outlining each of the questions, specific changes, and reports requested by Commissioners. Next, Mr. MacDonald noted the various staff reports include balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow reports, and organizational charts with details of staffing and expenses for External Affairs, as well as responses to informational questions posed by Commissioner Sklar. In response to a comment offer by Mr. Irons, the Commission Secretary confirmed that the reported list of Commissioners’ information requests, policy directions, and suggested budget reserves and changes was based on a careful review of the recordings of the budget meetings.
Mr. MacDonald responded first to points concerning a need for increased water conservation raised by Commissioner Hochschild, noting that as a result of these discussions the overall conservation amounts within the proposed budget would be gathered and reviewed with an eye toward shifting funds for greater emphasis on conservation activities. It was reported that Assistant General Manager of Water Michael Carlin would come back with a report of this shift of priorities. Commissioner Hochschild emphasized that the Commission’s direction was for greater environmental and resource stewardship with more rapid movement. Commissioner Hochschild called for a more robust, $3 or $4 million in expenditures for conservation, and that he in particular wished to see a greater emphasis on preventative measures. Commissioner Hochschild pointing to the PUC’s relatively low conservation budgets in both Power and Water and urged greater efforts be forthcoming.
In response to a question by President Caen regarding the sufficiency of funds available to carry out these expanded efforts, Mr. MacDonald noted that the existing amounts budgeted for conservation and with the addition of potential grant funds becoming available there would be sufficient amounts available with the decision as to whether to increase this amount within the preview of the Commission. Commissioner Hochschild noted that he was comfortable with the proposal for a report back to the Commission with proposed expansion of conservation activities within the next month which would allow time for the Commissioners to consider options.
Turning next to Commissioners’ directions concerning the Power Enterprise Budget regarding line items for the Newark San Francisco transmission line study and the funding for the proposed new Transbay Terminal project, Mr. MacDonald reported that all of these allocated funds have been placed in a “new capital projects bucket “reserve for the Commission to consider action with no change in amounts just a shift in use. Turning next to the budgeted funds for the Hunter’s Point /Lennar Project and the San Francisco Reliability-Combustion Turbines Project (CT’s) that the funds for these were continued in the budget but placed in a hold with no expenditures until these projects were given direction by the Commissioners. Mr. MacDonald noted that Commissioner Sklar had called attention in his budget questions memo to concerns with construction of a new distribution system but had expressed no opposition with going forward with the proposed study of what such a Civic Center Green District might look like. Mr. Irons emphasized that in his view this proposal was important and could set a new national standard. Finally Mr. MacDonald noted that the Commissioners had already addressed the policy matter of charging public buildings for the power that the PUC provided to them.
Continuing with the Budget issues related to the Wastewater Enterprise, Mr. MacDonald called attention to a new policy directive to expedite addressing odor issues emanating from the Southeast Treatment Plant using funding available within the $5.5 million funding for the Wastewater Master Plan and the 5 Year CIP Odor Control Master Plan. President Caen expressed dismay that there was any need to keep studying this issue and noted what the Commission expected and wanted was action to address the problem. Acting General Manager of Wastewater Mr. Moala reported that the study was completed and what staff was doing was to identify specific steps to address the problems but that a fundamental problem was the leakage around the floating caps of the aging digesters. In response to questions by Commissioner Hochschild Mr. Moala reported that the study had been done and that staff had sufficient information needed to propose the next steps. Mr. Moala noted in answer to a question by President Caen that the $400,000, proposed for further study was therefore not needed and that instead he proposed to return to the Commission with a presentation of what is being done and an action plan to address this problem immediately using funds already existing in his proposed budget.
Next, Mr. MacDonald addressing the Commissioner’s clear direction to expedite the lagging rate of completion of Wastewater’s line Inspection, cleaning, and repair process proposed a three step plan beginning in this year’s budget to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in March or April for expedited line inspection contract at a cost of $680,000. Next Mr. MacDonald proposed use of savings in the Wastewater Budget to fill currently vacant positions by April 1st to add 5 positions, hiring a new crew to focus on line inspection, and proposing that in next year’s budget to reduce attrition savings to retain this additional crew at a cost of $525,000 for another year.
Next Mr. MacDonald called attention to the staff responses to the Commissioners’ information requests that were included in the Commissioners’ binders including an organizational chart for External Affairs, two memos from Ms. Spanjian addressing details of the Lobbyist contracts, a Treasure Island income statement, information related to renewable power, principally geothermal power, purchases. Mr. MacDonald then responded in some details to additional questions that were raised in Commissioner Sklar’s memo requesting a high level summary detail report certain for travel and entertainment expenses, information concerning the proposal for new deputy position in Power, and a summary of Community Choice Aggregation activities that were included in a new handout that he provided to the Commissioners.
In response to a question by Commissioner Hochschild as to why Real Estate was included on External Affairs, Mr. Irons explained that given the nature of the sensitive and sometime very political ongoing real estate activities it was determined they were best addressed by External Affairs.
In response to questions by Commissioner Hochschild concerning what duties were assigned to various positions on the organization chart for Power, Assistant General Manager Barbara Hale explained that many of these positions were vacant and had not been previously filled. Ms. Hale then described the incumbents and their areas of responsibility and duties for the remaining positions on the Power Enterprise organizational chart.
Mr. MacDonald noted that staff was pulling together greater details on the General Managers and the Deputy General Manager’s travel budget and that this data would be forthcoming. Mr. Irons thanked the Commission Secretary and Ms. Patricio for carefully reviewing the notes and recordings of the budget meetings to report exactly all of the Commission’s directions and requests, and Mr. MacDonald and the Assistant General Managers and their staffs for their very hard work in quickly assembling and organizing a great deal of information to respond to these directions and requests since the last budget meeting.
In response to a question by Vice President Normandy, Ms. Hale discussed the status of the Solar Incentive Program proposed by Commissioner Hochschild and Assessor Phil Ting that it had been heard in Committee and was forwarded without recommendation for action by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting today. In answer to a question by President Caen concerning the transfer of funds derived from the Transbay Transmission cable project for use to promote energy conservation in the Southeastern neighborhoods as requested by Commissioner Sklar, Mr. MacDonald explained these funds were being received incrementally at a rate of $97,000,000, per month, with $500,000 available in this year, and these funds which the Board of Supervisors had directed be used to study a Newark to San Francisco Transmission line had been transferred into Budget reserve bucket #1 for the Commissioners to resolve any issues with the Supervisors and determine its use.
Public Comment:
Ms. Jennifer Clary, Citizen’s Advisory Committee and Clean Water Action, reported the Citizen’s Advisory Committee’s positions supporting action to follow through and get back on schedule the existing 5 year plan to upgrade to a state of good repair the Southeast Treatment Plant, secondly, that action be taken to fund many vacant critical positions in Wastewater, and thirdly, that the existing grant writer position be duplicated in the Water Enterprise to do similar work in support of Wastewater. Ms. Clary concluded by asking about the status of a Charter mandate for a Repair and Replacement Fund and asked what was the level of funding provided for the Natural Resources Division whose exemplary work she strongly supported.
In response to a question by Commissioner Hochschild, Assistant General Manager of Water Mr. Michael Carlin confirmed that the grant writer did in fact do work for both Water and Wastewater.
Without objection Vice President Normandy in the interest of making sure that the Commissioners could fully effectuate the many directions and specific changes proposed in the FY 2008-09 Public Utilities Commission Budget inserted the following amendment in both the proposed FY 2008-09 Capital and Operating Budget Resolution’s resolved clauses to insure that should additional changes need be made that the Commission retained its ability to do so. Deputy City Attorney Noreen Ambrose confirmed that the Commission fully retained it right to direct staff to make changes in the budget subsequent to its adoption and goes forward for final Board approval.
Further Resolved, That the General Manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is authorized to make further technical adjustments to these approved amounts as may be necessary ...
