Whole meeting
C

A
Announcements,
we
do
have
a
few
announcements
to
make
tonight
in
the
way
of
some
thank
yous.
First
of
all,
we
were
honored
to
host
the
Secretary
of
Transportation
last
Thursday
in
Ray
LaHood.
The
secretary
met
with
us
here
and
spoke
to
some
Mexicans
went
up
to
the
incident
site
in
glenview
and
we
followed
him
to
San
Francisco
for
a
pay.
Pge
demonstration
I
have
to
tell
you.
A
He
was
very
very
moved
by
his
discussions
with
the
City
Council
and
the
victims
of
the
incident
and
assured
us
that
lying
late
July
early
August,
we
would
definitely
be
seeing
some
changes
in
some
safety
practices,
rules,
regulations
coming
from
his
office,
so
that's
very
encouraging.
Also
we
do
have
the
posy
parade
coming
to
san
bruno
to
71st
annual
parade
sunday
june.
Fifth.
Mr.
I
bear
would
you
like
to
say
something
about.
D
That
I
just
say
mr.
Merrill,
in
light
of
what
this,
what
this
community's
been
through
this
last
year,
that
the
theme
is
san
bruno
city
with
the
heart
and
the
Lions
and
the
city
have
been
doing
this
for
many
years
and
being
appropriate
time
for
the
community
come
out
and
I
know,
they'll,
enjoy
some
sunshine
and
enjoy
enjoy
the
youth,
the
kids
that
are
in
this
parade-
and
you
know
kick
off
summer.
You
know
with
the
bank,
it.
A
Also,
just
the
other
day,
last
Sunday
we
had
another
glenview
get
together
in
the
park.
The
last
one
was
here
at
the
Senior.
Center
was
very,
very
successful,
and
so
was
this.
One
people
stayed
until
past
the
four
o'clock
hour
and
I.
Do
one
especially
want
to
thank
the
san
bern
alliance
and
burnet
road
arree,
american
red
cross,
the
North
Peninsula
neighborhood
group
and
the
Highlands
Christian
Church
of
latter-day
saints
and
bethany
presbyterian,
as
well
as
our
volunteer
song
makers,
who
were
very
good
with
the
band.
A
It
was
a
wonderful
event,
nice
barbecue
and
got
a
chance
you
to
talk
again
to
all
of
the
glenview
residence
in
an
atmosphere
that
wasn't
a
antagonist
stick
at
all
and
it
didn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
questions
about
insurance
and
all
the
things
that
you're
living
with
gay
today.
So
it's
a
very
good
event,
then
we
hope
to
have
more
just.

Our
water
resource
is
based
on
two
major
water
resource
is
the
surface
world
which,
based
on
our
master
contract
with
PUC,
is
provided
through
our
contractual
agreement
with
PUC
and
our
own
grandpa
reproduction,
which
is
governed
by
the
groundwater
management
plan,
which
will
come
back
for
you
is
under
development
right
now,
and
you
will
see
the
draft
plan
coming
back
for
your
consideration
in
the
next
two
months
for
to
assess
the
reliability
and
sustainability
of
the
system.
The
infrastructure
itself
is
under
development
right
now.
G
The
intent
tonight
is
to
have
a
public
hearing
to
hear
your
comments
and
suggestion
and
recommendation
on
the
developed
urban
water
management
plan
and
at
the
next
council
meeting
staff
will
come
back
incorporating
in
the
plan.
You
suggest
a
recommendation
and
also
any
suggestion,
a
recommendation
for
public
from
the
public,
for
you
find
your
for
your
approval.
G
This
draft
plan
was
presented
to
utility
subcommittee
and
the
recommendation
and
suggestion
by
the
utility
subcommittee
were
incorporated
in
in
the
draft
I
will
let
UK
I
was
chosen
to
help
us
developing
the
urban
water
management
plan,
and
I
will
let
Matt
suka
to
present
the
plan.
I
have
here
also
because
more
crane
hide
the
bottle
service
manager
and
also
robert
howard,
the
deputy
for
operation
and
maintenance,
to
help
us
with
any
question
what
you
might
have.
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
Matt
zucca
I'm
with
earlier
and
kalinowski.
As
Clara
mentioned,
you
all
have
received
a
copy
of
the
public
review
draft
of
the
urban
water
management
plan.
The
information
that
I'm
going
to
go
through
tonight
and
this
presentation
I
will
go
through
fairly
quickly.
All
the
information
here
is
contained
in
the
document,
so
this
is
it
really
for
the
benefit
of
summarizing
everything
for
the
public
in
advance
of
the
public
hearing
as
an
executive
summary
to
the
information
in
the
document
and
in
the
presentation.
H
Basically,
san
bruno
has
adequate
water
through
the
combination
of
surface
water
and
groundwater
to
meet
the
anticipated
growth
through
the
planning
horizon
of
the
document,
which
is
20
30
50.
You
have
already
achieved
your
urban
water
use
targets
which
are
required
by
state
law
for
the
year.
Twenty
20
and
I'll
talk
in
more
detail
about
that,
but
those
are
already
have
already
been
met,
and
but
even
though
you
are
already
at
your
targets,
yeah,
the
document
does
show
how
san
bruno
continues
to
implement
water
conservation
measures.
H
So
that's
sort
of
the
in
a
nutshell.
What
I'll
be
talking
about
in
a
little
bit
more
detail?
The
urban
water
management
planning
act
as
an
outline
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
information
on
that
some
background
information
regarding
the
city,
the
key
of
the
urn
water
management
plan,
which
is
the
water
supply
and
demand
forecasts,
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
drought,
water
supplies,
the
water
conservation
act
of
2009.
H
You
might
have
heard
of
its
as
campina
twenty
by
twenty
twenty
or
sb7
a
little
bit
about
water
conservation
and
then
also
a
little
bit
about
the
shortage
contingency
plans
that
are
in
place.
Basically,
the
first
and
foremost
the
urban
water
management
planning
act
is
alone.
It
outlines
how
the
city
is
going
to
meet
your
demands
over
a
20-year,
a
horizon
typically,
would
be
the
25
in
this
document,
and
it
forms
the
basis
for
your
water
supply
assessments
that
you
might
do
in
support
of
any
future
growth.
This
would
be
the
reliance
document.
H
The
Act
requires
that
we
look
at
water
demand
that
we
compare
that
to
supplies
that,
to
the
extent
that
it's
a
relevant
look
at
groundwater
and
recycled
water,
talk
about
the
supply
ability
or
supply
ability,
the
reliability
in
event
of
a
drought
again,
look
at
the
shortage,
contingency
planning
and
the
catastrophic
interruption
to
supply.
So
these
are
actually
requirements
that
we
have
to
address
in
the
document.
H
Additionally,
since
the
passage
of
the
Act
Water
Conservation
Act
of
2009
requires
that
each
agency
effectively
reduce
your
per
capita
consumption
by
twenty
percent
by
the
year.
Twenty,
twenty
and
again
I'll
talk
about
how
you've
actually
already
met
that
target
as
I'm
sure
you
already
know
the
water
supply
agreement
that
you
have
a
San
Francisco
is
governed
by
an
agreement
that
was
entered
into
in
July
2009.
It
provides
for
184
million
gallons
per
day
for
the
San
Francisco's
wholesale
customers.
H
Excuse
me,
the
normal
water
supply
for
San
Bruno
is
guaranteed
at
3.25
million
gallons
per
day.
That's
normally
here
it's
subject
to
reduction
in
droughts
in
cases
of
emergency
or
whatever.
There
are
other
portions
of
the
agreement
that
govern
those,
but
in
a
normal
year
that
is
your
supply
guarantee.
Your
interim
supply
allocation
is
valid
through
2018,
it's
at
a
reduced
level
arm,
but
it
doesn't
affect
your
guarantee.
H
This
is
really
a
consumption
above
which
you
might
pay
an
incremental
rate,
but
in
no
way
does
it
affect
your
your
actual
guarantee,
its
analysis
and
interim
allocation
effectively,
and
it
is
like
I
said:
it
is
technically
valid
through
2018
a
little
bit
about
the
baseline
information
that
we
relied
on
for
developing
on
the
urban
water
management
plan,
several
sources
of
both
growth
for
population
and
employment,
including
a
bag.
H
Your
general
plan,
plus
some
specific
plans
regarding
the
transit
corridor,
we're
all
looked
at
and,
as
you
can
see,
growth
is
happening
in
our
water
demands
are
then
eventually
with
that
pie,
charts
regarding
the
connections
by
category
and
the
connection
is
any
metered
connection
to
the
water
system.
As
you
can
see
in
2009
and
2010,
approximately
eighty-five
percent
of
your
connections
are
single
family
residential,
with
approximately
seven
percent
being
multifamily
and
420
420
34
2035.
We
don't
expect
the
huge
shift
in
the
actual
connections
on
comparing
that
to
consumption.
H
However,
you'll
see
that,
on
a
total,
you
have
fifty
three
percent
consumption
for
residential
single-family
24-percent
for
multifamily,
and
your
commercial,
although
it
makes
up
a
small
number
of
connections,
is
actually
a
substantial.
You
know
amount
of
consumption.
This
is
in
2009-2010
historical
distribution
of
water,
a
lot
of
numbers
here,
really
the
main
focus
is
that
they
should
look
at
is
that
there
is
a
trend
in
the
last
few
years.
That
we
believe
is
largely
associated
economic
downturn
on
this
trend
is
followed
on
the
blue
line
by
the
all
the
bosco
agencies.
H
This
is
the
aggregate
amount
consumed.
So
what
we're
seeing
a
trend
wise
over
the
last
few
years
is
consistent
with
other
agencies.
We
do,
however,
expect
that
there
might
be
a
rebound
effect
on
these
water
demands
as
the
economy
recovers.
So
the
most
recent
data
don't
necessarily
indicate
what
what
the
near-term
consumption
can
be.
This
is
a
slide
showing
your
over
the
same
five-year.
Look
back
what
you've
used
in
terms
of
your
San
Francisco
purchases,
which
are
in
the
blue
on
the
top
of
the
bar
column,
and
then
your
ground
water
production
on
the
bottom.
H
You
do
purchase
a
small
amount
of
retail
water
from
the
north
coast,
County
Water
District,
but
you
can
see
it's
a
very
small
percentage
overall,
historically
you've
been
about
5050
groundwater,
surface
water
with
a
slightly
higher
production
in
groundwater
in
the
last
year.
This
this
aerial
shows
basically
the
extent
of
the
groundwater
basin
that
you
draw
from
the
airport
is
located
right
here.
These
blue
lines
represent
basically
the
depth
from
surface
to
the
bottom
of
your
water
bearing
layer.
So
this
is
the
depth
of
the
aquifer.
H
If
you
will
so
we're
dealing
here
in
feet
below
ground
surface-
and
you
can
see,
this
is
about
a
600-foot
contour
line
and
when
you
get
towards
burlingame,
urine
200
feet
of
depth,
so
really
San
Bruno
is
sort
of
overlying,
some
of
the
deeper
parts
of
the
aquifer,
with
what
we
call
a
bedrock
high
that
exists
right
in
sort
of
the
millbrae
area.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
the
aquifer
looks
like
and
the
way
groundwater
flows
up
in
the
city
sunset
area,
it
flows
out
to
the
ocean.
H
H
Low
spot,
not
necessarily
temporal,
does
tend
to
have
some
of
the
deeper
areas,
but
if
you
think
about
it,
low
spot
could
be
just
the
water
table
depressed.
If
there
are
two
separate
issues,
you
know
there's
two
separate
factors,
so
the
low
spot
is
really
more
associated
with
we're
pumping
and
where
the
water
table
the
shape
of
the
upper
water
table.
If
you
will,
it
just
happens
to
also
coincide
with
where
the
deeper
parts
of
the
aquifer
there
is
a
regional
conjunctive
use
in
conjunctive
use
as
any
combination,
surface
water
and
groundwater.
H
An
evaluation
was
done
back
in
the
early
two
thousand
time
frame
where
several
agencies
participated,
and
what
was
done
is
that
the
surface
water-
and
this
represents
pumping
of
groundwater.
San
bruno
and
some
of
the
other
cities
was
banked
up
over
series
of
years
to
see
how
that
might
accumulate
and
how
cities
michael
off
the
surface
water
and
onto
ground
around
water
and
uses
banked
up
water
during
dry
years.
That
was
an
evaluation
that
was
done
and
the
city
is
undergoing
discussions
right
now.
H
On
that
front,
this
is
sort
of
a
little
bit
of
a
repeat,
but
this
is
your
five-year
look
back
on
your
ground
water
production,
again
relatively
constant,
a
little
bit
higher
/
2009
2010,
bringing
these
two
together.
Water
demand
and
supply,
so
you're,
you're,
look
out
for
your
demand
is
5.13
within
the
point
of
MGD
million
gallons
per
day.
H
This
is
on
an
annual
average,
so
you
take
photo
consumption
divided
by
the
number
of
days
in
the
year
and
2035
is
5.13
broken
out
by
category,
so
your
residential
CI
is
commercial,
treal
institution
institutional,
so
again
predominantly
a
residential
demand.
Your
supply,
basically
is
a
combination
of
your
your
surface
water
from
San
Francisco,
your
groundwater,
future
groundwater
that
you
plan
on
pumping
and
then
your
notes
course
not
close
to
purchases
as
well.
H
H
There
are,
there
are
several
projections
we
relied
on.
I
looked
at
a
combination
of
them,
avec
2009,
there's
also
the
general
plan
growth,
and
then
there
are
we
use
for
our
population
projections,
the
eight
back
2009
and
in
primarily
because
the
population
then
sort
of
drives
the
water
demand.
So
for
us
it's
about
the
water
and
we
also
did
look
at.
Thank
you.
H
D
H
H
Here
what
you'll
see
is
that
this
blue
line
is
the
a
bag
going
out
to
2035.
These
dots
represent.
Basically,
as
you
pointed
out,
singular
point.
So
this
blue
dot
is
the
employment
with
the
general
plan,
plus
a
transit
corridor
plan,
and
then
the
purple
dot
would
be
the
population
with
a
general
plan,
lots
of
transit
corridor
plan.
So
we
looked
at
all
of
these
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
it
affected
our
water
demand.
That
make
sense.
H
Dry,
your
water
supply.
We
are
required
by
the
act
to
look
at
water
supply
during
normal
single
dry
and
multiple
dry
years.
You.
Basically,
there
are
two
ways
that
this
is
accounted
for
here:
there's
a
plan
between
San
Francisco
and
the
retailer
agencies
that
divides
up
the
available
water,
I'm,
sorry
between
dedup
in
San,
Francisco
and
bosca,
which
is
the
represent
representative
agency
for
san
bruno
and
then
amongst
the
possible
agencies.
There's
a
tear
to
plan-
and
you
guys
I
think
recently
saw
the
tier
to
plan.
H
It
has
been
adopted
by
all
of
the
wholesale
agencies,
including
San
Bruno,
there's
a
complicated
formula.
That's
explained
on
the
slide
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it,
but
just
to
show
that
it
is
a
relatively
significant,
a
spreadsheet,
that's
involved
in
calculating
what
your
your
allocations
are
during
a
dry
year,
and
this
is
basically
what
a
three-year
look
ahead
would
look
like
if
you
were
to
start
today
and
have
a
dry
year
going
forward
into
a
three-year
dry
year
period.
Where
this
was
your
2009
2010
demand,
you
could
conceivably
under
the.
H
If
you
look
at
the
historical
climate
record,
the
you
know,
potentially
the
amount
of
surface
water
could
be
reduced,
and
if
you
assume
the
small
decrease
in
groundwater
production,
your
third
year
would
be
out
of
3.85,
that's
less
than
your
turn,
that's
more
than
your
current
man.
So
you
know
look
up
three
year.
Look
ahead,
shows
that
you
have
enough
water,
currently,
even
assuming
a
small
decrease
in
groundwater
production.
H
We
also
looked
as
part
of
the
certain
water
management
plan
at
the
potential
participation,
or
not
participation
actually
of
an
individual
conjunctive
use,
which
is
rather
than
regionalizing.
Conjunctive
use
across
multiple
cities
is
that
the
San
Bruno
could
individually
look
at
during
dry
years,
purchasing
more
surface
water
and
allowing
the
ground
water
table
to
recover
so
that,
during
a
concert
during
normal
years,
so
that
during
dry
years,
you
could
increase
pumping
and
be
less
reliant
on
the
surface
water
that
was
provided
by
San,
Francisco
or
actually
thank
you.
H
H
So
this
is
something
that's
considered
in
the
document
as
well.
Senate
bill,
seven
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
this.
This
is
the
20
by
2020,
where
you're
required
to
reduce
per
capita
demand
by
twenty
percent.
You
can
comply
individually
or
as
a
region.
Some
people
are
going
to
be
looking
to
comply
regionally
and
non-compliance
is
really
a
loss
of
access
to
grants
for
water
loans.
That's
sort
of
a
consequence
of
it,
but
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
San
Bruno
is.
This
is
the
water
consumption
going
back
to
95-96
through
last
year?
H
And
if
you
look
at
your
five-year
baseline,
it's
89
gallons
per
capita
per
day.
Your
ten-year
baseline
is
ninety
five
gallons
per
capita
per
day,
and
basically
your
your
water
use
target
is
target
usage,
would
be
124
you're
effectively
below
that
and
in
particular
you're,
even
below
the
100
gallon
per
capita
per
day
threshold,
which
means
that
you
have
to
do
effectively
to
comply
with
this
act.
Nothing.
If
you
were
above
100,
you
would
still
have
to
cut
back
a
minimum
five
percent,
but
because
your
per
capita
demand
is
so
low.
H
H
H
H
Do
you
attribute
that
to
it's
a
combination
of
factors,
some
of
the
local
agencies
that
have
that
microclimate
is
one
potentially
smaller
lot.
Size
is
another
aspect
of
it.
Also,
when
you
look
at
other
communities
like
Burlingame,
where
they
have
a
large
indoor,
a
large
Hotel
population,
that's
a
transient
community
may
get
all
the
water
demand,
but
no
population
credit
for
that
and
the
demographics
note.
H
Okay,
so
these
are
the
movie
called
best
management
practices,
demand
management
measures
that
city
implements
were
required
by
the
act
to
describe
and
they're
described
in
detail
in
the
document.
What
the
city
currently
does
out
of
the
14
13
of
the
14
are
being
implemented,
and
the
14th
really
relates
to
if
you're
selling
water
to
another
retail
agency.
So
it
doesn't
apply
so
declares
comment
regarding
conservation.
The
city
is
participating
in
one
form
and
other,
and
all
of
these
various
programs,
the
catastrophic
interruption
of
supply.
Several
things
have
been
done.
H
Obviously,
you've
all
heard
about
the
capital
improvements
program
that
San
Francisco's
put
in
place
their
multi-billion
dollar.
That
is
obviously
intended
to
increase
the
reliability
and
of
the
regional
system,
but
san
francisco,
san
mateo,
county
and
city
of
san
bruno
all
have
emergency
response
plans
in
terms
of
how
to
address
an
interruption
in
the
supply
to
the
region
of
water.
H
So
all
those
documents
are
in
place
and
have
been
shared
in
the
event
of
either
a
drought
or
a
catastrophic
or
significant
reduction
here,
or
what
we
call
sort
of
the
stages
of
action
on
the
ACT
requires
that
we
look
at
several
up
to
fifty
percent
stage
one.
We
call
sort
of
the
volunteer
stage
which
is
up
to
ten
percent,
and
they
really
are
more
public
education,
oriented
bill
inserts
and
more
messaging
related
to
asking
for
voluntary
cutbacks.
H
When
you
go
to
stage
two
at
the
upper
end,
you
would
start
considering
mandatory
cutbacks,
mandatory
conservation
measures,
because
twenty
percent
is
fairly
substantial,
cut
back
upwards
of
35.
You
would
continue
to
implement
mandatory
and
then
further
enforce
them,
potentially
look
at
rate
changes
and
other
financial,
just
incentives
for
for
water
consumption
in
excess
of
maybe
certain
allotments,
and
then
you
would
more
aggressively
monitor
for
compliance
and
then
that
basically
just
gets
increased
further.
H
When
you
go
to
stage
5,
where
you're
really
now
starting
to
focus
on
any
outdoor
irrigation
would
stop,
but
it
would
effectively
not
be
used
and
you
would
be
more
trying
to
protect
basic
human
services
and
needs
for
water
and
in
a
very
quick
summary.
Nutshell:
I
have
summarized
that
two-inch
document
in
front
of
you
have
any
question.
That's
great.
B
Have
any
questions
per
se,
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
couple
comments
if
anyone
is
interested
in
our
water
system,
this
is
a
fabulous
document.
The
mapping
and
explanation
of
what
we've
done
and
what
needs
to
be
done
to
keep
our
water
system
whole
and
viable
is
all
in
here.
So
you
have
a
boring
saturday
night.
I
recommend
it
or
you
can't
fall
asleep
you
can.
You
can
do
that.
I
just
have
a
comment
that
I
want
to
kind
of
enlighten
the
council
about
or
bring
it
up
on
the
page
72
of
agenda
packet.
B
There's
a
comment
about
water
supply
alternatives
that
it
is
not
imperative
that
San
Bruno
look
to
alternatives
because
we
will
be
able
to
make
our
water
consump-
fois
de
basically
and
up
to
the
year
twenty
thirty
five
and
while
that
is
true
and
I
hope
it
stays
that
way.
I
hope
none
of
our
groundwater
gets
contaminated.
I
hope
none
of
those
horrible
things
it
could
happen
do
happen.
Bosque
y
as
a
region
is
looking
at
alternate
water
supplies,
either
regionally
two
or
three
cities
together.
However,
we're
doing
it
so
we're
doing
a
huge
study
on.
B
What's
out
there,
what
could
be
built?
What
could
be
negotiated?
What
could
be
saved
all
those
kinds
of
things,
the
preliminary
reports
from
that
and
will
be
coming
out
this
summer?
So
those
are
some
of
the
questions
and
procedures
from
that
will
be
coming
back
to
the
council.
Do
we
you
know,
even
though
we
may
not
need
the
water
or
would
be
me,
may
not
need
it
in
the
next
10
years
or
15
years.
We
might
look
at
participating
to
some
extent
in
some
of
the
regional
efforts.
B
A
F
E
F
Now,
either,
but
but
I
think
just
to
help
me
understand,
maybe
others
too,
if
we
could
I
hope
appreciate
what
what
technical
evaluation
had
to
come
together
to
get
this
data.
I
know
you
worked
on
it
before
and
what
we
have
now,
where
that
comes,
and
what
really
it
took
to
put
this
this
document
together
and
then
the
data
that
that's
received.
That's
making
these
projections
out
to
the
future
sure.
H
So
would
you
like?
Okay,
there
are
there's
quite
a
bit
of
data
and
there's
actually
some
fairly
intensive
modeling,
that's
done
for
the
for
the
water
supply
projections.
First
and
foremost,
we
look
at
the
historical
consumption
data
that
the
city
maintains
to
the
billing
system
and,
to
the
extent
that
we
have
detail
in
there,
we
try
to
look
at
the
trends
in
the
patterns
of
what's
happened
historically
and
then
rely
on
other
sources
of
information,
specifically
the
city's
general
plan,
any
kind
of
population
and
employment
forecast,
as
well
as
the
reliability.
H
If
you
will
and
information
that's
provided
to
us
by
San
Francisco
regarding
the
reliability
of
the
water
supply,
we
also
look
at
the
draft
groundwater
management
plan.
That's
currently
in
process.
A
lot
of
this
information
basically
goes
into
a
groundwater
spreadsheet.
If
you
will,
my
water
demand
modeling
spreadsheet,
that
was
put
together
by
bosca
on
behalf
of
26
retail
agencies
of
recently,
and
it
includes
assumptions
regarding
the
effects
of
conservation
such
as
toilet
change
outs.
It
includes
the
effect
of
other,
basically
other
conservation
measures
as
well
as
well.
H
So
the
model
itself
tries
to
take
about
all
those
factors
into
account
in
terms
of
how
we
project
the
actual
consumption
and
it's
based
upon
the
historical
as
well
then
again,
the
reliability
aspect
of
it
is
somewhat
different
and
we
rely
on
San
Francisco's
information
and
we
rely
on
information
related
to
the
groundwater
management
plan
in
terms
of
supply
reliability.
So
if
that
answers
your
question,
thank
you
and.
F
We
do
maybe
two
step:
do
we
still
have
the
adult
one
monitoring?
Are
we
still
doing
that
protrusion,
okay,
intrusion
and
then
what
type
of
conservation
programs
are
we
looking
forward
to?
Obviously
it's
been
noted
that
we've
done
pretty
good
it's
but
noted
that
we're
using
less
than
when
we
look
back
in
2005,
for
example.
But
what
do
we
have
on
the
horizon
as
far
as
to
continue
on
the
path
that
we've
already
been
successful
on.
D
G
Addition
to
all
of
the
conservation
programs
already
implemented
until
now,
the
grass
to
be
gone
is
one
of
the
pilot
project,
but
the
city
very
successfully
took
on
and
actually
actually
leading,
baska
agencies
with
this
pilot
project
to
really
even
further
minimize
the
water
drip
irrigation
also
had
many
educational
classes,
educating
the
public,
how
they
can
out.
They
can
further
reduce
their
water
consumption
for
irrigation.
G
E
Wanted
to
clarify
I
didn't
understand
when
the
director
first
identified
the
grass
begone
program
I,
want
to
clarify
that
that
was
a
landscape
renovation,
project
and
program
that
we're
doing,
in
conjunction
with
a
variety
of
other
native
plant
landscaping
and
drought,
tolerant,
plant
landscaping,
programs
that
have
been
implemented
in
san
bruno
to
tremendous
reception
by
the
public.
We
have
as
many
as
60
people
in
our
classes
that
are
co-sponsored
by
us
and
by
bosca
in
addition
to
that,
our
zoning
ordinance.
So
the
director
mentioned
a
number
of
projects,
in
addition
to
the
long-standing.
E
The
washing
machine
and
local
low-flow
toilet
rebate
programs
that
we
implement
again
in
coordination
with
vasca.
In
addition
to
that,
our
updated
zoning
ordinance
will
look
at
a
variety
of
different
sustainability
initiatives
that
might
be
incorporated
in
our
zoning
code
to
facilitate
what
the
director
was
talking
about
in
terms
of
building
standards
and
other
types
of
items
where
we
can.
We
can
be
reasonably
aggressive
in
terms
of
water
conservation
and
again,
following
up
on
ek,
eyes
comment
earlier.
B
The
champion
Larry,
thank
you
and
Bosco
is
always
thinking
of
new
ways
to
I,
could
serve
water
and
to
develop
programs
in
conjunction
with
not
just
one
city
but
regionally
so
we'll
bring
you
back
more
things,
as
we
think
of
them
up.
Think
them
up.
I.
Think
the
other
thing
people
need
to
remember
as
much
of
the
single-family
resident
consumption
of
water
isn't
the
shower
and
the
washing
machine
and
all
most
of
it's
the
lawns.
B
So
as
we
do
the
new
developments
as
we
do,
infill
development
type
things
with
high
rises
and
high
development
I
mean
high
density.
You
don't
have
loans,
so
a
lot
of
even
though
our
population
will
grow.
We
won't
add
lon
and
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
consumptive
water
consumption
is
so
that's
a
conservation
right.
There.
A
A
Sucking
your
clothes
public
hearing
on
the
question,
those
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
carried
all
right.
There's
no
action
tonight
on
the
side.
So
thank
you
for
the
report
very,
very
thorough
item.
Number
nine
public
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda
is
the
council's
policy
refer
matters
raising
this
form
to
staff
for
investigation
and
or
action
where
appropriate.
The
Brown
Act
prohibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter,
not
agendized
pursuant
to
state
law
with
anyone
in
the
audience
likes
address
the
council
on
public
comment.
A
I
I'll
start
over
the
city,
honorable
mayor
and
members
of
the
City
Council,
the
city's
investment
policy
must
be
presented
to
the
council
for
adoption
each
year
at
a
public
meeting.
No
changes
have
been
made
to
the
investment
strategy
adopted
January
12
2010
in
response
to
the
fiscal
year,
2009-2010
year-end
audit
that
indicated
a
conflict
between
the
city's
investment
policy
and
the
deposits
from
the
San
Mateo
County
pool
the
city
has
initiated
the
process
for
an
electronic
funds
transfer
to
the
main
checking
account
for
all
funds
that
were
previously
credited
to
its
main
checking
account.
I
By
doing
so,
the
city
has
strengthened
its
ability
to
monitor
and
remain
in
compliance
with
the
investment
policy
statement.
Furthermore,
this
electronic
funds
transfer
enables
the
city
to
become
more
efficient
and
timely
and
allocating
its
assets.
The
county
treasurer's
office
estimates
this
process
to
be
completed
to
be
in
place
by
june
thirtieth
of
this
year.
During
the
first
quarter
of
2011,
the
city
actively
managed
its
investment
portfolio
has
several
bond
issues.
I
With
respect
to
the
Lehman
Brothers
collapse,
the
bankruptcy
proceedings
are
nearing
an
end
on
june
thirtieth,
the
bankruptcy
judge
will
rule
as
to
the
final
plan
for
the
creditors,
the
expectation
is,
each
creditor
will
receive
thirty
cents
on
the
dollar,
with
the
distribution
to
occur
sometime
in
the
third
quarter
this
year.
In
the
wake
of
this
Lehman
issue,
the
City
Council
asked
to
have
an
investment
group,
an
investment
report
at
each
quarter
end
in
large
part
to
fort
on
the
progress
of
the
bankruptcy
proceedings.
I
I
At
this
point,
I
would
like
to
offer
a
clarifying
language
to
our
investment
policy
that
is
meant
to
formalize.
What
in
fact
is
already
occurring,
I
would
like
to
direct
your
attention
to
page
to
our
section
to
excuse
me
entitled
implementation.
The
first
paragraph
on
page
2,
which
discusses
the
appointment
of
a
deputy
city,
treasurer
I,
would
suggest
eliminating
that
paragraph
in
its
entirety
and
replacing
it
with
the
following.
I.
Do
believe
you
have
a
copy
of
the
suggested
language.
I
I'll
read
it
aloud.
In
the
event
the
treasure
is
unable
to
perform
his
or
her
duties.
The
city's
finance
director
will
serve
as
interim
treasure
until
the
City
Council
is
able
to
take
the
necessary
action
to
fill
this
position.
As
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago.
This
is
meant
to
clarify
what
in
fact
has
taken
place
on
every
single
account
checking
account
investment
account.
The
finance
director
is
a
signatory
on
it,
as
well
as
I,
and
also
the
deputy
city
finance
director
is
already
on
the
accounts
as
well.
I
A
E
E
They
were
intended
to
be
used
for
City
related
purposes
for
costs
associated
with
the
city's
business
and
operations
related
to
related
to
the
incident
they
are
otherwise.
Undesignated
have
not
been
used,
as
the
treasurer's
indicated
are
on
deposit
in
an
investment
account
and
at
this
particular
moment
in
time,
have
no
immediate,
planned
or
intended
use.
But
given
the
extraordinary.
E
A
F
I
would
concur
with
the
cleanup
language
that
mr.
Marty
is
recommended
and
I
would
also
write
a
curve
with
the
treasure
in
regards
to
the
quarterly
coming
back,
because
Lehman
Brothers
situations
pretty
well
resolved,
not
to
all
that
we
would
love,
but
it's
the
reality
of
what
is,
but
I
also
had
periodically.
I
don't
know
what
periodically
maybe,
but
it
would
be.
Nice
also
hear
some
food
for
thought
investment
opportunity
what
the
market
is
seen
in
the
yield
rate
or
performance
the
city's
cash
flow.
F
C
Michael,
the
two
primary
polls
that
are
the
funds
are
invested
in
the
local
agency
investment
fund
in
the
San
Mateo
County
pool.
What
do
we
know
about
what's
contained
in
each
of
those
funds,
and
are
they
different
enough,
where
we're
actually,
where
we
have
enough
diversity
or
are
those
two
essentially
the
same
types
of
investments?
No.
I
The
San
Mateo
County
pool
holds
approximately
350
different
issues.
The
entire
sizes
of
fun
is
about
3
billion
dollars.
It
holds
anything
from
CDs
from
various
banks
not
restricted
to
California
the
nationwide.
You
have
us
treasuries.
You
have
agency
paper
agency,
Federal,
Home,
Loan,
Bank,
Fannie,
Mae,
Freddie,
Mac,
Federal,
Home,
Loan,
Mortgage
Corporation.
I
You
have
medium
term
notes
up
to
7
10
years.
In
addition,
you
do
have
some
corporate
investment
grade
corporate
securities
in
there,
some
of
which
are
part
of
the
Treasury
guarantee
program.
So
they
have
it
in
his
in
essence,
federal
backing
lathe
has
a
lot
more
concentration
state
in
California
obligations,
general
obligation
bonds.
They
held
some
securities
issued
by
various
municipalities
within
the
state.
So
if
you
look
at
the
portfolios
in
general,
you
can
think
of
life.
More
California
centric.

The
plant
is
owned
jointly
by
city
of
san
bruno
and
south
san
francisco,
and
the
plant
is
operated
by
the
city
of
south
san
francisco
in
order
for
us
to
assure
the
real
reliability
of
our
treatment
plant
and
also
to
meet
the
expectation
of
the
set
expectation
by
the
regional
board
jointly
bit
south
serie,
a
consultant
was
hired
corolla
engineering
to
develop
a
long-term
facility
plan.
That's
a
plan.
What
will
be
presented
to
you
for
your
consideration
tonight.
G
G
The
difference
between
the
change
in
the
resolution
just
clarify
the
intent
that
what
you
will
approve
the
request
tonight
for
you
to
approve
the
facility
plan
and
that
staff
will
come
back
as
a
follow-up
action,
with
a
detailed
cost
allocation
for
a
specific
project
and
before
inclusion
of
those
costs
in
our
CIP
and
to
allocate
costs
for
those
projects.
I
will
I
have
here
a
terabyte,
the
public
board
director
for
South
City
and
my
Britain
from
Corolla
and
Lydia
Holmes.
Who
will
take
you
through
the
facility
plan
itself?
G
J
Then
we
also
needed
to
address
the
state
water
board's
discharge,
permit
compliance,
mandates
to
control,
wet
weather
flow
discharges,
and
then
we
also
were
asked
to
consider
green
energy
up
chandi's.
So
I'm
going
to
step
you
through
our
major
findings
under
for
each
one
of
these
key
areas,
so
starting
with
critical
reliability
and
replacement
projects.
What
we
found
is
that
we
needed
to
do
some
work
on
the
digesters
and
their
support
facilities.
These
are
facilities
that
handle
the
solids
and
they
are
between
40
and
60
years
old.
These
three
digesters
there's
an
emergency
generator.
J
J
There's
some
electrical
system,
safety,
improvements
that
are
required,
seismic
improvements
to
a
blower
building
and
head
works
and
storm
water
improvements.
So
these
are
all
the
major
findings
that
we
found
on
needing
to
do
some
reliability
and
replacement
projects.
So,
moving
on
to
the
permit,
the
treatment
plant
currently
discharges
the
treated
effluent
at
two
locations
depending
on
rainfall.
So
down
here
in
the
left
corner.
J
You
see
the
plant,
you
can
see
the
tanks
here
so
during
dry
weather,
the
discharge
is
two
of
secondary
effluent
to
San
Francisco
Bay
during
wet
weather
and
the
plant
is
allowed
to
discharge
a
combination
of
primary
and
secondary
effluent
to
the
bay
and
this
primary
and
secondary
is
in
reference
to
level
of
treatment.
So
during
wet
weather,
it
is
a
lower
level
of
treatment
that
is
being
discharged
because
there's
so
much
wet
weather
that
comes
into
the
plant.
J
The
plant
gets
overwhelmed
and
can't
doesn't
have
the
capacity
to
discharge
all
secondary
treated
during
extreme,
wet
weather
discharge
events,
and
they
need
to
discharge
to
coma
Creek,
which
you
can
see
right
here,
adjacent
to
the
plant.
This
happens
when
the
outfall
that
you
can
see
goes
up
and
over
to
the
Bay.
When
that
capacity
is
exceeded,
then
they
have
a
if
more
water's
coming
into
the
plant
than
that
outfall
capacity,
then
that's
when
it
triggers
a
discharge
to
the
creek.
So
the
state
water
board
discharge
permit
has
some
mandates
in
it.
J
In
2008,
the
plant
received
a
new
permit
which
required
controlling
wet
weather
flow
discharges
in
two
different
parts.
They
wanted
to
have
minimizing
blending
of
the
primary
and
secondary
treated
wastewater,
which
is
what
I
referred
to
the
two
different
levels
of
treatment,
and
this
is
a
national
policy,
that's
being
pushed
actually
to
minimize
blending
and
then
the
second
thing
was
they
wanted
to
eliminate
those
near
shore
discharges,
tacoma
creek.
J
So,
for
this
project
we
were
tasked
with
looking
at
what
are
the
projects
that
would
be
needed
to
minimize
the
blending
and
eliminate
the
coma
Creek
discharge.
So
this
shows
a
close-up
of
the
treatment
plant,
and
so
the
first
project
to
minimize
blending
would
be
to
improve
and
increase
the
secondary
treatment
capacity
and
we're
showing
here
that
we
would
be
doing
modifications
to
their
aeration
basins,
which
are
the
primary
way
you
do
secondary
treatment
and
adding
a
new
secondary
clarifier
to
increase
that
secondary
treatment
capacity.
J
The
next
project
would
be
to
see
if
we
can
obtain
a
permit
for
that
near
shore
discharge.
The
reason
they
are
saying
you
have
to
eliminate
the
discharges,
because
it's
not
currently
permitted,
so
we
would
have
to
go
through
the
steps
of
working
with
the
regulators
to
get
an
authorized
permit,
which
would
require
some
water
quality
studies
and
dilution
studies
in
the
creek.
Then
the
third
project
would
be
to
build
a
new
wet
weather
storage
facility
to
be
able
to
hold
the
water.
J
If
we
aren't
allowed
to
discharge
tacoma
Creek
when
I
as
I
mentioned
when
the
water
coming
into
the
plant,
is
more
than
that
outfall
capacity
you'd
have
to
store
it.
This
project
would
be
as
a
last
resort
if
we
cannot
succeed
in
getting
a
new
discharge
permit
for
the
occasional
discharges,
tacoma
creek,
okay.
So
moving
on
to
the
third
area
of
our
plan
on
green
energy,
the
plant
already
produces
about
one-third
of
its
own
power
demand
with
bio
gas,
that's
produced
on
site
from
the
solids
and
and
it's
taken
through
engines.
J
So
for
the
critical
rehabilitation
we're
showing
over
11
million
dollars
of
projects
that
need
to
be
done
in
the
next
five
years
and
we
have
deferred
an
additional,
nearly
16
million
for
the
discharge.
Permit
compliance
we're
showing
9.6
million
in
the
next
five
years
to
improve
that
secondary
treatment
capacity
that
I
mentioned,
and
to
try
to
get
a
new
permit
for
the
coma
Creek
discharge.
J
We
are
deferring
that
wet
weather
storage
Basin
out
beyond
the
five
year
CIP,
as
you
see
here,
to
try
to
provide
time
so
that
we
can
see
if
we
can
get
that
discharge
permit
for
the
green
energy
opportunities,
while
they're,
worse
and
very
interesting
ideas
to
in
promising
technologies
to
produce
more
power
on
site,
but
for
the
fuel
cell
it
comes
at
a
much
higher
cost.
So
we
have
deferred
that
and
instead
went
with
the
lower
cost
solar
panels.
J
J
B
K
B
C
G
The
soul
or
can
be
reached
the
agreement
F,
depending
on
your
desire
and
comfort
level,
how
much
participation
you
want
to
have
for
that
project
and
how
soon
f
will
be
no
clear
agreement
between
your
direction
and
Siri
of
South
San
Francisco
intend
to
implement
some
of
those
green
energy
project
sooner
then.
How
soon
is
your
desire
to
implement
then
a
they
can
fund
entirely
themselves
without
any
cost
sharing
by
us
or
whatever
percentage.
You
will
feel
comfortable
agreeing
to
participate
in
that
project.
G
D
Yeah
so
I
did
I
did
key
in
on
that
one
paragraph
and
then
near
the
end
of
the
staff
report
and
and
I'm
sure
that
this
plan
was
developed,
knowing
what
our
right
structure
was
and
what
kind
of
funding
you
can
get.
You
know
for
capital
projects,
so
it
says
in
2009
we
adopted
our
latest
rate
model
in
the
key
part
of
the
states
that
it
is
not
expected
to
significantly
impact
the
right
model.
So
what
can
you
tell
me
about
that?
You.
G
Reason
why,
at
that
time,
both
of
us
agreed
to
start
to
develop
this
facility
plan
to
define
exactly
what
improvement
we
will
need
to
happen
in
the
same
time
was
a
so-called
placeholder
place
on
in
our
rate
model,
and
all
the
placeholder
is
very
close
to
the
final
possible
cost
share.
What
the
city
of
San
Bruno
you
have
to
pay
for
this
investment,
so.
G
C
Thank
you,
one
more
question:
I've
heard
this
presentation
think
four
or
five
times
down
so
slowly.
It's
sleeping
in
one
thing,
I
was
thinking
about
Claire
I.
Think
you
explained
to
me
that
the
reason
we
have
these
these
overflows
or
this
over
capacity
is
because
our
sewer
systems
are
essentially
broken,
and
so,
when
it
rains
water
gets
into
the
ground
and
that
gets
into
the
sewer
system
and
ends
up
at
the
facility.
Is
that
fairly
accurate,
I
hope.
G
I
didn't
say
that
our
sewer
system
is
broken.
I
wouldn't
say
that
that
certainly
is
a
like
with
many
of
older
sewer
system
use
a
challenge:
the
difference
between
dry,
better
flow
and
wet
better
flow
during
a
high
rain.
Even
the
infiltration
is
still
very
high
in
our
system
is
not
isolated
enough.
All
of
the
pipes
in
the
ground.
G
They
are
not
really,
they
will
develop
the
water
drain
water
to
infiltrate
and
then
that
our
system
then
has
to
carry
much
higher
volume
to
the
treatment
plan,
and
that's
you
see
from
for
those
improvement
recommended
for
permit
compliance.
Those
are
really
focused
on
wet
weather,
compliant
that,
during
the
peak
rain
event,
how
how
then
that
increased
demand
can
be
managed
if
it
how
to
discharge
any
pollutant
to
the
bay
from
the
plant
as
much
as
possible
and.
C
So
what
I
was
really
thinking?
Is
you
know
here
we
have
a
system
that
were
perhaps
if
we
invested
the
money
instead
in
repairing
everything,
that's
in
the
ground.
Now
we
wouldn't
have
nearly
the
demand
at
at
the
treatments
plant,
because
the
water
wouldn't
be
getting
in
there
and
I.
Probably
this
investment
is
very
modest
compared
to
what
it
would
take
to
do
that,
but
it's
still
at
I'm
wondering
you
know
if
we
were
to
divert
some
of
these
funds
toward
that
project,
which
I
think
ultimately
we
do
want
to
do
anyway.
G
Cause,
remember
you
were
not
here,
and
you
had
you
didn't
have
the
benefit
being
part
of
the
discussion
for
the
tenured
financial
model,
for
the
sewer
system
was
a
certain
level
of
service
agreed
on
was
part
of
the
policy
assumption
developing
that
model
and
one
of
the
policy
assumption
on
which
our
ten-year
plan
was
based
was
replacing
in
a
timely
manner
our
system,
our
sewer
mains.
But,
of
course
our
hold
the
system
is
most
is
older
than
60
year
old.
G
Then
we'll
take
us
Italy
many
many
years
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
the
short
answer
to
your
question.
You
have
to
devote
to
a
certain
degree
to
be
able
to
really
manage
the
environmental
protection
in
meantime
until
you
will
be
able
to
improve
our
system
to
a
level,
and
that
will
make
a
big
difference
and
that
whether
flow
will
be
lowered,
substantial
enough
that
you
will
not
need
any
major
capacity
improvement
down
at
the
plant,
the
same
policy.
G
What
was
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
in
south
san
Francisco's
name,
but
they
made
very
much
the
same
policy
decision
a
few
years
back
and
they
started
to
invest
a
in
their
sewer
main
replacement
to
minimize
the
dead,
I
and
I.
And
that's
it.
Soul
is
all
intent,
and
that
is
an
old
plan
also
to
minimize
I
and
I
to
replace
our
system
in
a
reasonable
pace
that
you
cannot
just
replace
in
two
years
or
two
years
out
of
our
system
is
not
practically
possible
financially
and
even
from
a
practical
reason.
Okay,.
C
E
Well,
if
I
could
add
to
that,
and
that
is
another
reason
that
it's
absolutely
imperative-
that,
in
addition
to
this
reason,
that
we
take
the
necessary
actions
to
improve
our
collection
system
to
the
best
to
our
best
ability,
but
I
did
while
clara
was
talking.
I
did
confirm
with
the
consultant
that,
in
fact,
the
analysis
does
take
into
consideration
the
scheduled
improvements
in
the
system,
so
you're
not
duplicating
in
the
meantime.
E
In
the
near
term,
you
are
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
at
the
plant
and
you're
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
in
the
collection
system
and
hopefully
over,
as
director
indicated
over
what
will
probably
be
a
fairly
long
period
of
time,
but
incrementally
move
to
a
point
where
you're
capturing,
hopefully
as
much
as
avoiding
as
much
as
possible,
I
and
I
and
and
then
allowing
sustained
efficient
operations
of
the
plant
once
improved.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
A
It's
kind
of
a
two-pronged
approach.
You
know
I've
been
on
this
council
a
long
time.
We
actually
bit
the
bullet
along
with
south
san
francisco
to
to
do
it.
That
way.
We
made
some
major
improvements
to
the
plant
not
too
many
years
ago.
Here
Come
additional
improvements,
but
in
the
meantime,
alongside
of
that,
we're
trying
to
improve
our
infrastructure,
because
the
worst
thing
is
to
treat
rainwater
and
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
increase
capacity
so
that
we
can
bypass
some
of
those
some
of
those
problems.
A
We've
been
having
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
longer
to
do
the
stuff
under
the
street
and
a
lot
take
a
lot
more
money
to
do
it.
Then
it
will
be
too
in
fact
improve
capacity
and
and
improve
the
you
know.
Electricity
usage
at
the
plant
so
I
think
we're
on
the
right
track.
We
bit
the
bullet
a
long
time
ago
and
actually
increase
rates
with
a
lot
of
criticism,
but
it's
a
real
good
thing.
We
did
so
anything.
D
A
D
G
L
Honorable
mayor
members,
city
council,
good
evening,
Tencent
Gallatin,
cable
television
director
as
part
of
the
annual
budget,
development
process,
staff
review
programming
contracts
and
other
operating
costs
for
changes
in
consultation
with
the
city
council,
cable
television
subcommittee
has
developed
a
service
and
read
adjustment
proposal
for
your
consideration
and
adoption
this
evening.
The
city's
programming
costs
increased
by
over
fifteen
percent
last
year,
mainly
due
to
Stevie
license
fee
increases
implemented
by
Comcast
SportsNet
and
the
city
implemented
a
14-point
eight-six
percent,
a
rate
increase
to
cover
those
costs.
L
Programming
costs
are
increasing
again
this
year
by
over
six
percent,
which
is
much
lower
than
last
year,
but
still
a
large
increase.
Nonetheless,
while
there
is
a
need
to
fully
recover
costs
increases
by
passing
it
on
as
a
rate
adjustment,
the
city
is
sensitive
to
the
impact,
a
six
percent
plus
rate
increase.
You
may
have
on
customer
sentiment
in
this
highly
competitive
environment,
but
Sandberg
similar
residents
have
a
choice
of
service
providers
for
the
video
service
today.
L
Also
given
the
depressed
state
of
the
economy,
customers
are
switching
back
back
and
forth
between
service
providers
who
take
advantage
of
promotional
offers
to
save
money.
To
address
the
shift
in
customer
behavior
and
to
compete
effectively
in
this
new
environment,
the
City
Council
recently
approved
a
expanded
promotional
campaign
to
attract
new
customers
and
to
stabilize
the
city's
marketer.
L
The
first
postcard
mailer
of
this
campaign
was
delivered
to
prospective
customers
this
last
Friday
and
has
begun
to
generate
new
customers
already.
Given
the
heightened
level
of
competition,
every
service
provider
providers
customer
base
is
comprised
of
two
groups:
customers
with
the
company
standard
rates
and
a
group
with
a
group
of
customers
that
has
the
companies
promotional
rates.
L
Although
it
appears
to
us
that
the
competing
service
providers
have
only
a
discounted,
a
promotional
rate,
as
they
do
a
great
job
of
promoting
it,
they
also
have
established
standard
schedule
of
services
and
rates
generally
when
a
promotional
period
expires.
The
customers
rate
changes
to
the
company
standard
rate.
If
the
customer
signed
a
service
contract,
then
the
customized
to
stay
and
pay
the
standard
rate
to
the
contract
term
or
face
a
penalty.
L
Similarly,
the
city
has
a
standard
schedule
of
services
and
rates
which
the
city
annually
adjusts
and
maintains
to
cover
operating
costs
and
to
ensure
the
continued
viability
of
the
enterprise.
The
city
also
has
put
a
promotional
rates
to
attract
new
customers
and
when
these
promotional
piers
expire,
the
city
standard
rates
apply
so
a
company's
promotional
rate
is
not
extended
to
exist
existing
customers
and
should
not
be
interpreted
as
the
standard
rate.
L
The
recent
past
has
been
challenging
and
the
days
ahead,
no
doubt
will
continue
to
be
challenging
as
jostling
for
market
share
continues.
The
city
lost
nearly
800
basic
cable
customers
during
fiscal
year,
usually
increased
competition
and
generally
depressed
economic
climate.
This
is
a
phenomenon
that
is
being
experienced
by
the
entire
cable
industry.
According
to
the
national
cable
television
association,
the
basic
cable
video
penetration
of
homes
passed
for
the
industry
has
declined
to
46
and
a
half
percent.
L
Even
though
a
direct
product
comparison
to
competitors
cannot
be
made
because
of
the
way
the
products
are
packaged.
The
rates
of
a
comparative
products
are
reasonably
close.
In
addition
to
a
lo,
a
la
carte
rates,
the
low
aliquot
rates
and
the
city
offers
a
wide
choice
of
deeply
discounted.
Video
and
multi-product
bundle
packages,
since
the
city
does
not
require
a
contract,
customers
are
free
to
upgrade
and
downgrade
the
service
anytime.
The
city
also
offers
free
service
calls
to
all
its
customers.
These
are
added
values
that
that
are
not
offered
by
other
competing
service
providers.
L
The
challenge
faced
by
staff
and
the
cable
sub
committee,
consisting
of
Marouane
and
councilmember
Cano
in
developing
the
recommended
service
and
rate
adjustment
proposal
before
you
this
evening,
was
balancing
the
need
to
cover
rising
costs,
while
preventing
negative
customer
sentiment
in
this
competitive
environment.
After
deliberately
deliberating
on
alternatives,
including
foregoing,
a
basic-cable
rate
altogether
and
implementing
a
lesser
rate
increase,
the
subcommittee
advised
staff
to
scale
back
the
rate
increase
to
a
reasonable
level
that
would
strike
a
balance
between
the
two
equally
important
concerns.
L
As
such
staff
developed
a
rate
adjustment
of
three
thousand
four
cents
or
five
percent
on
basic
cable
service.
He
proposed
basic
cable
increased,
coupled
with
other
adjustments
to
digital
cable
premium
services
and
Internet
service,
as
described
in
your
report,
is
valued
valued
at
approximately
six
nine
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
in
additional
revenue.
If
the
proposed
service
and
rate
increase
increase
approved,
the
additional
revenue
will
only
partially
cover
increases
in
programming
costs
and
leave
a
budget
gap
of
112
thousand
dollars.
This
revenue
shortfall
will
add
to
the
existing
cable
fun
deficit.
L
The
cable
thermic
committee
recommends
City
Council
approval
of
the
proposed
services
and
the
region,
s
budget
and
read
vestments
following
City
Council
action,
the
rating
Chris
will
take
effect,
July,
1
2011
and,
as
required
by
municipal
code
and
federal
regulations,
staff
will
notify
customers
through
a
bill
insert
in
the
june
billing
statement
and
additionally,
post
notices
in
channel
1
and
the
department's
website.
So
that
concludes
the
presentation.
I'll
take
in
question
to
you
tenzin.
A
L
There
are
20
broadcast
stations
in
the
bay
area
that
San
Bruno
receives
10
of
them,
and
every
year
these
brought
these
broadcasters
make
an
election
with
FCC,
whether
they
want
to
be
a
must
carry
station
or
a
retransmission
consent
station.
When
they
elect
must
carry.
Then
every
cable
opera
in
the
area
has
to
carry
that
station
and
have
we
have
no
choice
but
to
carry
it.
But
when
a
station
elects
retransmission
consent,
then
the
cable
operators
have
to
see
consent
from
the
broadcaster's
to
carry
that
station.
L
In
the
past
these
Japanese
negotiations
have
been
able
to
reach
an
agreement
on
these
negotiations
through
in-kind
consideration.
In
other
words,
we
would
exchange
advertising
ransom,
villain,
search
for
the
broadcast
etc
and
be
able
to
reach
an
agreement
by
doing
that
in
for
carriage,
but
on
a
going-forward
basis.
The
broadcast
may
be
the
last
to
retransmission
consent
periods,
these
actually
the
consent
players.
Every
three
years
ago,
every
three
years,
the
one,
the
one
that
we're
in
right
now
will
expire
in
December
31st.
So
over
the
last
two
reckon
retransmission
consent
periods.
L
The
broadcaster's
have
began
a
big
and
demanding
cash
cash
license
fees
for
carriage
and
but
so
far,
through
the
last
year,
processor,
two
processes,
the
city,
has
avoided
paying
any
license
fees,
but
over
the
over
the
last
two
years
last
few
years,
the
larger
cable
operators
have
begun
paying
a
license
fee
for
retransmission
consent.
So
it's
making
very
making
it
very
difficult
for
small
operators
like
the
city
to
kind
of
get
away
with
not
paying
a
license
fee.
So
on
a
going-forward
basis.
L
L
In
the
stations
that
we're
going
to
be
that
are
coming
up
for
negotiations
at
the
end
of
the
year,
our
ABC,
which
is
the
local
ABC
broadcast
station
KTVU
channel
2
and
its
sister
station
ki,
see
you
ktsf
and
also,
as
the
city
council
member
remember
a
few
three
years
ago.
We
coffee
we
would
negotiate
with
coffee,
and
since
we
could
not
reach
a
non-cash
agreement
at
the
station
orders
to
drop
the
station
so
now.
L
The
reason
why
we
weren't
able
to
do
that
is
because
had
we
paid
coffee
cash
then
would
end
up
paying
everybody
else,
cash
that
would
raise
the
rates
overall.
So
we
kind
of
balanced
that
and
said
you
know
what
we're
going
to
continue
to
keep
their
rates
low
as
much
as
we
can,
but
as
we
as
the
things
I
volva,
now
we're
more
and
more
people
paying
cash
for
carriage.
Then
we'll
look
at
talking
to
coffee
again
as
well
and
see
if
we
can
reach
your
agreement
and
carry
that
back
on
our
station
as
well.
C
D
I
just
like
to
say
that
I
mean
as
I
started.
Reading
the
staff
report
I
started.
Getting
that
sentiments
that
I'm
sure
that
the
subcommittee
got
and
I
was
very
pleased
because
we
did.
We
did
talk
a
lot
about
getting
those
customers
back
and
what
type
of
incentives
we
went
through.
Reviewing
the
postcard
and
everything
and
I
and
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
how
that
how
that
turns
out,
but
once
I
turn
the
page
I
was
very
proud
to
see
that
the
subcommittee
reduced,
you
know
reduced
the
rate.
D
D
C
L
Eighty
percent
of
the
revenue
comes
from
the
video
business
and
we
have
about
twenty
percent
coming
from
internet
business
right
now,
and
commercial
service
service
is
just
like
picking
up
right
now,
so
it
represent
a
very
small
portion
of
our
revenue
structure
and
out
of
the
video
side
on
the
video
side.
The
bulk
of
it
is
is
in
preferred
basic
cable,
which
is
the
rate.
The
five
percent
rate
that's
going
to
hit
that
that
segment
of
the
cost
in
that
segment
that
serviced
here
and
there
we
have
almost
seventy
five
hundred
customers.
L
Its
that's
a
very
interesting
question
because,
as
you
as
I've
said
in
the
past,
the
as
you
can
see
in
the
industry
statistics
and
also
what
we're
experiencing
in
terms
of
what
the
how
customers
are
consuming
video
today,
it's
going
to
be
very
interesting
to
see
where
this
all
ends
up,
because
more
more
customers
are
are
going
to
Netflix
blockbuster
amazon
to
get
you
know,
movies,
etc.
So
what
I'm
noticing
is
that
the
trend
for
online
video
is
increasing
so
so.
C
L
Be
that
that
people
are
changing
the
way
the
consumed
video
from
a
city
perspective.
We
provide
both
the
video
product
and
we
also
provide
internet
product.
So
as
consumers
begin
to
utilize
more
bandwidth
on
the
Internet
services,
that
side
of
the
business
is
going
to
continue
to
grow,
and
in
order
to
address
that
issue.
Last
year
we
launched
our
commercial
services
in
that
process.
We
updated
upgraded
our
internet
network
to
handle
that
capacity,
and
we
already
have
begun
offering
25
meg,
50
mutter
medic
services.
L
So
as
that
demand
increases,
customers
can
switch
and
take
those
products
as
well.
So
when
people
switch
from
drop,
say,
cable
services
go
to
online
video
content,
but
they'll
still
need
a
higher
capacity
to
access
that
content,
and
the
revenue
model
will
shift
from
you
know
today,
say
so
say,
for
example,
somebody
might
be
paying
the
city,
ninety
nine
dollars
for
phone,
internet
and
cable
tomorrow,
with
a
shift
in
in
the
way
the
consuming
the
content.
L
They
might
be
paying
ninety
nine
dollars
just
for
Internet
content,
because
they
want
that
higher
capacity
to
be
able
to
do
it.
So
from
that
perspective,
it'll
just
be
a
shift
and
then,
in
terms
of
market
share,
it
will
be
it's
going
to
be.
Like
I
said
in
my
presentation,
this
can
be
jostling
for
market
share
because
of
the
new
entrant
in
the
market
and
as
soon
as
that
stabilize
a
little
bit,
then
it's
just
a
matter
of
competing
effectively
and
growing.
Each
business
segment,
yeah.
L
C
Things
I
was
thinking
about
it
is
you
know
at
some
point
it
becomes
unprofitable
to
to
absorb
all
the
cost
of
the
Senate
and
another.
Another
thing
I
was,
and
this
is
maybe
this
question
is
directed
at
my
colleagues
on
the
subcommittee.
It
has
there
been
any
thought
about
rethinking
the
franchise
fee
and
how
how
how
the
franchise
fee
is
really
affecting.
The
health
of
the
enterprise
definitely
helps
the
general
fund,
and
maybe
now
in
current
economic
situation,
is
not
the
time
that
we
would
want
to
consider
cutting
that.
E
Just
to
be
clear,
I
think
that
you
mean
the
not
the
franchise
fee,
but
the
equity
transfer.
The
there
is
a
federal
law
provides
for
eight
five
percent
franchise
fee,
which
is
also
collected
and
I
only
draw
the
distinction.
We
could,
because
that's
directly
connect
collected
as
it
as
an
add-on
as
directly
collected
from
ratepayers
as
every
other
cable
operator
in
the
in
the
country
does.
But
in
addition
to
that,
there
is
the
equity
transfer
into
the
general
fund
and
one
of
them
assist
the
general
fund.
A
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
challenges
here,
but
one
of
the
biggest
ones,
of
course,
is
getting
the
word
out
and
the
unfortunate
thing
is:
you
have
some
very
large
broadcasting
entities
that
can
offer
these
loss
leaders
and
we're
not
in
a
position
really
to
do
that,
we're
more
consistent.
But
when
people
sign
up
for
a
six-month
deal
and
then
find
out
that
after
six
months
or
after
a
year,
they
really
get
nailed
with
a
contract,
then
we're
bringing
some
of
those
people
back.
A
We
hope
to
do
that
with
just
the
flyer
that
went
out
just
the
other
day.
People
realize
how
consistent
we
are.
You
know
in
regular
basis.
It's
gonna
make
a
difference,
but
trying
to
get
that
word
out
when
somebody's
dangling
a
couple
of
dollars
in
front
of
you
for
six
months,
it's
difficult
to
do
so.
It's
an
educational
process
and
we're
trying
real
hard
to
get
that
out
there
Rico
next
question.
C
Dash
one
one
more
one,
last
comment:
just
from
a
strategic
sort
of
thinking,
standpoint
I
noticed
a
lot
whenever
we
talk
about
cable
it
always
it's
always.
Cable
television
and
the
subject
of
this
is
cable
television
services,
so
I
was
cable
till
and
I
was
thinking
that
perhaps
a
rebranding
and
rethinking
of
how
we
view
that
enterprise,
where
we
focus
more
on
a
more
modern
or
more
focused
on
a
data,
not
just
television,
might
make
it
more
more
attractive
to
consumers
that
are
more
interested
in
in
data
and
within.
C
L
I
mean
part
of
the
strategy
is
described.
My
report
is
to
eliminate
some
of
the
extra
tears
that
we
have
on
the
data
site
to
kind
of
beef
up
and
have
a
strong
product
that
will
repeat
the
majority
of
customers
and
I.
Think
that's
this
true.
One
of
the
strategies
were
taken
in
terms
of
and
rebranding,
so
to
speak,
I
mean
Sam
using
san
bruno,
I
mean
we're
a
municipal
operation,
so
using
san
bruno
is
sounds
like
I
mean
even
in
our
latest
post
card.
L
We
prepared
you
want
to
put
a
city
logo
on
there
to
kind
of
distinct
distinguish
us
from
any
other
cable
operator,
so
in
that
respective
rebranding
it
using
something
other
than
we
thought
about
in
the
past,
but
talk
about
with
the
subcommittee
as
well,
but
using
non
using
san
bruno
in
that
name
somehow,
so
our
diminishes
our
sort
of
a
homegrown
quality
sort
of
speak
out
of
who
we
are,
but
I
mean
we've
clearly
grown
from
just
being
a
cable
TV
operation.
That's
for
sure
I
mean
we're
no
longer
just
a
cable,
TV
operation.
L
We
provide
data
services,
we
provide
commercial
services,
so
essentially
phone
services.
So
essentially
we
are
more
of
a
telecommunications
company
more
so
than
just
a
cable
company.
So,
yes,
I
think
we
do
need
to
start
thinking
more
strategically
in
terms
of
how
we
promote
ourselves
and
how
we
get
more
recognition
for
the
fact
that
we're
more
of
a
broadband
player
than
just
a
cable
TV
company.
So
we
continue
to
look
and
pursue
that.
You
know
more
aggressively.
Thank.
F
You
God
sure
thank
you.
The
mayor
just
indicated
this,
but
we
obviously
have
folks
that
have
left
mentioned
800.
Then
they
signed
up
for
a
particular
period
of
time.
Normally
it's
two
years,
some
of
the
service
providers
have
we
taken
the
look
at
scene,
who's
left
almost
two
year
to
two
years
ago,
realizing
that
that
contract
is
about
up
and
then
trying
to
promote
what
we're
currently
offering
to
gain
them
back,
because
obviously,
there's
will
go
up.
Ours
is
down
three
years
and
therefore
we
can
maybe
win
them
back
over.
L
I
mean
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
today.
I
mean
we're
not
really
just
sending
to
those
people
that
are
expiring
within
two
years,
so
to
speak,
but
we're
looking
at
all
the
customers
that
are
not
subscribing
to
our
services.
So
that's
going
to
capture
not
only
the
people
that
are
coming
off
of
a
two-year
agreement
with
a
competitor,
but
also
that
I've
just
recently
left
or
just
recently
moved
into
san
bruno
looking
at
the
whole
segment
of
customers
that
are
not
not
subscribing
to
it.
F
I
understand
that's
what
the
card
went
to,
but
are
we
trying
to
strategically
person
and
men
personal?
What
well
they
can
back
out
and
saying
you
know
right.
You
know
the
TLC
that
letting
you
know
were
in
your
backyard.
We
come
out
we're
right
here.
You
can
get
a
live
person.
You
can
come
down
and
see
us
in
person.
You
know,
maybe
their
experience
wasn't
the
best,
and
so
they
like
to
come
back
home.
That's.
L
Exactly
what
we
try
to
do
with
the
direct
sales
campaign,
so
basic
somebody's
in
front
of
the
somebody
in
front
of
the
front
of
another
for
another
customer
prospective
customer
and
actually
talking
about
the
services
and
also
we
looked
at
our
database
and
actually
provide
that
specific,
specific
database
to
our
direct
sales
representatives
to
go
target
those
customers
in
the
campaign.
When.
L
To
sell
everybody,
or
does
it
as
a
excellent
job
of
going
out
and
talking
to
customers
and
keeping
customers
and
Alan
myself,
we
try
to
today
even
a
commercial
side
of
the
business.
It's
just
a
land
I.
Actually
you
know
going
to
knocking
on
businesses
to
get
sign
up
for
our
services.
So
we
continue
to
do
that
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
So
just.
F
B
I
was
gonna,
I
was
gonna,
make
one
comment
and
I'll
introduce
resolution
I'm,
also
to
remind
people.
We
are
the
only
cable
operator
that
offers
a
twenty
five
percent
discount
for
any
families
and
residents
who
are
in
low
income
a
bracket.
So,
yes,
this
is
a
five
percent
raise,
but
that
still
is
out
there.
It's
still
offered
because
we
are
owned
by
ourselves.
So
with
that
I'll
introduce
resolution,
councilman
Bri
O'connell,
I,
councilmember,
Medina,
aye,
councilmember
ibera,
our.
C
A
G
Alternative
emco
represented
to
the
city
that
it
is
a
housing
and
urban
development
funding
requirement
for
the
city
to
take
over
the
ownership
of
the
road,
specifically
suzanne
drive
and
highland
drive
in
Syria
ownership
as
part
of
those
discs.
At
that
time,
the
City
Council
decided
to
accept
the
road
highland
drive
and
Suzanne
drive
in
the
city
ownership,
with
the
clear
expectation
that
all
of
the
utilities
under
the
road
will
be
maintained
in
private
ownership
by
emco.
G
G
The
improvement
of
the
road
wheaton
will
meet
the
expectation
of
the
steal
of
the
series
stated
in
ad
improvement
agreement
between
now
and
then
was
also
clarified,
and
you
set
your
expectation
that
the
liability,
the
maintenance
costs
for
the
road
will
be
M.
Ko's
responsibility,
as
I
said
before,
emco
apply
for
hot
financing
for
this
renovation
and
the
design
alternative
and
hard
requires
there
that
all
entire
men's
and
discretionary
action
required
for
this
project
for
this
project
be
completed
prior
hot
funding
approval.
G
G
D
I
just
I
think
this
they're
here
and
we're
doing
this,
because
that's
a
good
sign
that
the
project
is
moving
for
and
so
I'd
like
gamco.
To
probably
say
that
confirm
that
and
then
I
see
that
there's
a
short
extension
of
the
date
of
demolition.
So
give
us
an
update
on
what
what
what
what
the
schedule
is
is.
K
This
on
camera-
yes,
yes,
okay,
first
I'd
like
to
thank
staff
and
in
particular
Clara
and
her
group
for
the
past
couple
months.
Working
on
this
particular
item.
That's
in
front
of
you
we're
very
excited
that
things
are
moving
forward.
I
know
those
that
haven't
seen
me
in
a
year
might
think
otherwise,
but
there's
been
a
lot
of
activity
over
the
past
year.
In
particular,
our
plans
have
gone.
K
Our
construction
drawings
have
gone
to
a
hundred
percent
with
the
city,
both
building
department
and
the
building
public
services
department,
they've
been
deemed
complete,
which
basically
gets
us
to
the
point
where
we
could
pull
permits
as
long
as
conditions
of
approval
are
met
and
financing
is
obviously
achieved.
This
was
a
critical
step
for
us
to
get
to
our
HUD
loan.
So
that's
kind
of
the
question
that
I
think
we're
all
getting
at
is:
where
are
we
at
with
our
process?
K
We're
excited
that
things
are
continuing
with
HUD.
Hud
was
excited
about
this
project,
in
particular
HUD
San
Francisco.
They
told
our
sponsor,
who
is
red
capital,
that
we
could
go
direct
to
firm,
so
we
have
submitted,
as
of
last
Friday,
our
firm
application
to
HUD,
which
is
very
exciting
for
us.
What
it
takes
to
get
to
firm
is,
in
fact
one
hundred
percent
construction
drawings
having
gone
through
the
city,
one
hundred
percent
bid
by
our
general
contractor
and
having
him
sign
off
on
those
dollars.
K
So
this
is
basically
gone
through
the
pre-approval
process
through
HUD
and
has
now
gone
direct
to
firm,
so
we're
looking
at
basically
three
to
four
month
process
to
get
through
that
firm
application.
So
I
looking
at
a
year
like
we're
looking
at
before.
This
is
a
great
you
know,
step
forward
for
the
project,
we're
very
excited,
and
we
just
want
to
continue
this
process
along.
And
the
item
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
one
of
those
steps
that
it
takes
to
continue
to
meet
our
conditions
of
approval.
K
