I want to see twenty twenty. Twenty twenty eight became 107 00:09:10,60 --> 00:09:15,72 effective on January first two thousand and fifteen basically it is an extension of 108 00:09:15,73 --> 00:09:19,25 the year Will County all mail ballot project it's 109 00:09:19,26 --> 00:09:25,60 a pilot program that's designed by the state legislature and Secretary of State to 110 00:09:26,52 --> 00:09:30,54 gather information on the effects of all mail balloting in 111 00:09:30,55 --> 00:09:34,36 a jurisdiction so they first started with yellow County which is 112 00:09:34,37 --> 00:09:40,34 a small rural county they held a couple of elections there and and it resulted in 113 00:09:40,35 --> 00:09:46,18 a report to the state legislature and to the. Secretary of State on the effects of 114 00:09:46,45 --> 00:09:47,83 all mail balloting in 115 00:09:47,84 --> 00:09:52,80 a very small rural county but what this that state legislature did was to expand 116 00:09:52,81 --> 00:09:54,39 this program to 117 00:09:54,40 --> 00:09:59,68 a much more diverse county both economically socially you know it's very diverse 118 00:09:59,69 --> 00:10:04,74 culturally and the results that we would get from San Diego County will be 119 00:10:05,20 --> 00:10:07,43 significant and as 120 00:10:07,44 --> 00:10:12,79 a result we were turns it and you know I'm proud to say. Samatar County is known as 121 00:10:12,80 --> 00:10:15,47 a leader in the state of California we really are 122 00:10:15,78 --> 00:10:19,98 a crown jewel of California counties in my opinion and we have 123 00:10:20,02 --> 00:10:25,77 a lot of innovative projects and programs that come from San Mateo County that lead 124 00:10:25,78 --> 00:10:30,21 the way in the state and even nationally and this is one of them so the I AM ABOUT 125 00:10:30,22 --> 00:10:32,84 IT pilot project is really an honor to be 126 00:10:32,85 --> 00:10:39,03 a part of for Alice and again the primary purpose is to gather information gather 127 00:10:39,04 --> 00:10:44,37 information for the state legislature and the secretary of state. After we conduct 128 00:10:44,38 --> 00:10:47,23 the first election we will contract with 129 00:10:47,36 --> 00:10:52,79 a consultant from the University of California and possibly some other entities to 130 00:10:52,96 --> 00:10:57,29 draft our report and results on that and we'll present that both the state state 131 00:10:57,30 --> 00:11:03,96 legislature and also Secretary of State. Under the ballot program we can conduct up 132 00:11:03,97 --> 00:11:09,34 to three. Elections they are not going to be presidential elections there are 133 00:11:09,35 --> 00:11:14,00 bureau elections so they're basically misspoken saw that it local special district 134 00:11:14,01 --> 00:11:18,62 elections that's what this law is focused on and so we're trying to getting we're 135 00:11:18,63 --> 00:11:22,54 hoping to have three elections two of them will be what we call the you Del action 136 00:11:22,55 --> 00:11:26,33 that's under the Uniform district election long first one will be in the amber 137 00:11:26,52 --> 00:11:31,37 third of two thousand and fifteen and again back to the original premise that you 138 00:11:31,38 --> 00:11:35,85 can same two counties very unique we heard no elections in off years in most 139 00:11:35,86 --> 00:11:41,08 counties in the state of California and that's right we're being looked at. To hold 140 00:11:41,09 --> 00:11:45,93 this pilot project so we're shooting for the November fifth election and up to 141 00:11:45,94 --> 00:11:50,45 three can be conducted during the period that we have under the rock which is 142 00:11:50,46 --> 00:11:55,60 through January first two thousand and fifteen. It is I mentioned it does not 143 00:11:55,61 --> 00:12:02,35 include presidential elections in two thousand and sixteen. Any twenty twenty eight 144 00:12:02,36 --> 00:12:06,51 how does it work well first of all every voter will get 145 00:12:06,55 --> 00:12:12,46 a ballot in the mail every single registered voter and. The beauty of that is that 146 00:12:12,47 --> 00:12:15,49 studies have shown that when a virgin receives 147 00:12:15,89 --> 00:12:20,01 a ballot their fan are likely to vote it's different than receiving 148 00:12:20,02 --> 00:12:21,41 a sample ballot is different to receiving 149 00:12:21,42 --> 00:12:25,69 a postcard you're actually going to get your ballot there and the right of legwork 150 00:12:25,70 --> 00:12:30,68 that goes before that studies have shown that you know it usually takes about four 151 00:12:30,69 --> 00:12:34,88 contacts for people to really sink in you know what they're what they need to do 152 00:12:34,89 --> 00:12:39,24 when they need to do it how they need to do it so we intend to send out at least 153 00:12:39,25 --> 00:12:39,94 four notices 154 00:12:39,95 --> 00:12:45,18 a sample ballot first chorus the actual ballots and fatter reps with media social 155 00:12:45,19 --> 00:12:49,93 media newspapers except for so during that prayer months before the election 156 00:12:49,94 --> 00:12:50,36 there's going to be 157 00:12:50,37 --> 00:12:56,46 a pretty intensive voter outreach and reminder program will be using billboards and 158 00:12:56,83 --> 00:12:57,30 it will be 159 00:12:57,31 --> 00:13:04,05 a fun election to watch and so we hope that by everyone receiving about that that's 160 00:13:04,06 --> 00:13:07,09 going to increase voter turnout and we'll talk 161 00:13:07,10 --> 00:13:11,30 a little bit more about the savings that that will crew to the district it's really 162 00:13:11,31 --> 00:13:17,20 important to note that. We are less will be postage paid as compared to current 163 00:13:17,86 --> 00:13:21,99 mail ballots that we send out where there is no postage paid on it in this election 164 00:13:22,55 --> 00:13:27,20 every ballot and every although it will be person space or you have to do is just 165 00:13:27,57 --> 00:13:33,57 return the beauty of this election is that under new lab that has been passed place 166 00:13:33,70 --> 00:13:39,20 we could only receive the ballot up and Election Day It had to be in our offices by 167 00:13:40,18 --> 00:13:44,25 eight o'clock on election day well now we have Election Day plus three which means 168 00:13:44,26 --> 00:13:45,04 that if you do send 169 00:13:45,05 --> 00:13:51,36 a bad man. As long as it's person marked on the day of the election we can receive 170 00:13:51,37 --> 00:13:56,00 it three days after and it'll still count So that's new in this in this particular 171 00:13:56,01 --> 00:14:02,81 election. The when we call it an all male ballot election it's very important to 172 00:14:02,82 --> 00:14:07,91 note that we will still have polling places every city will have 173 00:14:08,33 --> 00:14:11,22 a polling place and fact northern cities will have 174 00:14:11,23 --> 00:14:15,88 a polling place we're looking at about twenty five polling places which we're going 175 00:14:15,89 --> 00:14:22,85 to which in practice will actually be voting centers meaning that they will be hard 176 00:14:22,86 --> 00:14:29,29 wired to our elections office will have all of the data there so if you live in 177 00:14:29,33 --> 00:14:34,10 Half Moon Bay and you work in Daly City and you forgot your ballot and you want to 178 00:14:34,11 --> 00:14:40,34 vote that day you'll be able to vote in the Daly City voting center that day so 179 00:14:40,55 --> 00:14:45,32 every planting place that will be open in Cemetery County will be voting centers 180 00:14:45,33 --> 00:14:49,69 that means you can vote in person or drop your ballot off on that day so that's 181 00:14:49,70 --> 00:14:55,13 a tremendous amount of convenience for everyone and that's again even the recurring 182 00:14:55,14 --> 00:14:59,36 nightmare about action there will be traditional polling places that you can cast 183 00:14:59,37 --> 00:15:04,31 your ballot that day if that's the way you would like to do it and when you say yes 184 00:15:04,31 --> 00:15:08,79 .

Passed in the benefits of 188 00:15:28,13 --> 00:15:33,56 all mail ballot elections OK Well studies have shown in Iowa our own experience 189 00:15:33,57 --> 00:15:40,27 here in San Mateo County is that it has an increase in participation we have the 190 00:15:40,28 --> 00:15:44,68 benefit under our county chopper charter when there is an election at the county 191 00:15:44,69 --> 00:15:47,05 level. For example replace 192 00:15:47,06 --> 00:15:50,70 a board of supervisors members we can hold an all male ballot election and we have 193 00:15:50,71 --> 00:15:54,42 done that so we've compared the two we've compared to traditional polling place 194 00:15:54,43 --> 00:15:58,14 election and we've compared the about election for us to fill 195 00:15:58,15 --> 00:16:02,58 a supervisor seat and we found in ten percent increase in the all male dollar 196 00:16:02,59 --> 00:16:05,08 lection. We also see 197 00:16:05,09 --> 00:16:10,71 a reduction in the costs studies have shown that. You'll see reductions in cross 198 00:16:10,72 --> 00:16:15,74 between thirty three percent to fifty percent of the actual. 199 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:24,31 Thirty three to fifty percent actuals cost savings as compared to 200 00:16:24,32 --> 00:16:27,66 a traditional polling place election and when you're looking at it you can 201 00:16:27,67 --> 00:16:29,78 understand why I when we have 202 00:16:29,79 --> 00:16:34,38 a traditional polling place election we usually have two hundred nine polling 203 00:16:34,39 --> 00:16:39,00 places we have four hundred fifty precincts three hundred fifty precincts are 204 00:16:39,01 --> 00:16:43,83 served by those two hundred nine point where we have fourteen hundred boding 205 00:16:43,84 --> 00:16:49,22 machines that we have to mobilize think of the logistics of that and that's 206 00:16:49,23 --> 00:16:52,64 throughout the whole county small election year so it's kind of what everyone 207 00:16:52,65 --> 00:16:53,98 should we need to mobilize 208 00:16:53,99 --> 00:17:00,62 a tremendous amount of equipment labor and costs are incurred those costs will be 209 00:17:00,63 --> 00:17:04,91 eliminated in an all male ballot election and well in two hundred nine precincts 210 00:17:04,95 --> 00:17:09,71 polling places she's been operating permit places you'll have twenty five twenty 211 00:17:09,72 --> 00:17:12,40 six twenty seven something in that neighborhood so it just saves 212 00:17:12,41 --> 00:17:17,84 a tremendous amount of money to the to the entities to the jurisdictions when you 213 00:17:17,85 --> 00:17:18,19 conduct 214 00:17:18,20 --> 00:17:24,98 a normal about how much what does that mean for the. Weather 215 00:17:24,99 --> 00:17:28,57 district you're looking your last election two thousand and thirteen approximately 216 00:17:28,58 --> 00:17:28,98 you had 217 00:17:29,28 --> 00:17:34,18 a twenty three thousand twenty two thousand dollars cost for your election that's 218 00:17:34,19 --> 00:17:39,70 what it actually will cost you two to participate in that election. We anticipate 219 00:17:39,71 --> 00:17:44,76 you will see anywhere between seven to eleven thousand dollars and so. On 220 00:17:44,77 --> 00:17:48,52 a very similar election just. And that's because of the mobilization that we don't 221 00:17:48,53 --> 00:17:49,89 have to incur in 222 00:17:49,90 --> 00:17:54,32 a normal about election the fact is that because you don't have so many moving 223 00:17:54,33 --> 00:18:00,65 parts it reduces the risk of human error significantly. And we'll also have faster 224 00:18:00,66 --> 00:18:05,81 results will be you know at eight o'clock we'll have by far and away the majority 225 00:18:05,82 --> 00:18:09,74 of the votes coming in we have twenty eight well now it's thirty days to certify an 226 00:18:09,75 --> 00:18:15,44 election after the election day but we pretty much have the majority of the votes 227 00:18:15,45 --> 00:18:18,21 tallied on that night. You know 228 00:18:18,22 --> 00:18:22,38 a close election of course we've got the three days and you know Mr Church will 229 00:18:22,39 --> 00:18:26,11 take the first you know thirty days to certify election in 230 00:18:26,12 --> 00:18:30,66 a close election but in terms of what the public will actually know it would WANT 231 00:18:30,67 --> 00:18:34,54 TO website and in the returns that have come in we should have the majority of 232 00:18:34,55 --> 00:18:40,91 those in at eight o'clock. Back by about ten o'clock you'll know most of the terms 233 00:18:40,98 --> 00:18:42,98 and how the problem folks go to ask 234 00:18:42,99 --> 00:18:49,54 a question certainly So right now we have. Mail in ballots you 235 00:18:50,05 --> 00:18:56,71 can't get full and for military for instance. The area how well 236 00:18:57,04 --> 00:19:01,96 we won't need that process per say for not not the military for the others right 237 00:19:02,25 --> 00:19:05,75 because it everybody's going to going to everyone's going to get 238 00:19:05,79 --> 00:19:10,63 a mail ballot so what we're going into are one time it's the same in this one will 239 00:19:10,64 --> 00:19:15,82 there be any change in the way military or people not in the country at the time 240 00:19:15,83 --> 00:19:22,64 would be voting you know the same problems the same process. Reports by mail 241 00:19:22,65 --> 00:19:23,77 now you know if you take 242 00:19:23,78 --> 00:19:28,90 a look at the you know the chart in the. Sticks and you know you'll see 243 00:19:29,41 --> 00:19:33,93 approximately right now fifty seven percent of the counties voters are one time 244 00:19:33,94 --> 00:19:39,07 permanent my by mail voters the interesting statistic is it relates to this 245 00:19:39,40 --> 00:19:44,84 district and in the other districts. For example in this particular district 246 00:19:44,85 --> 00:19:51,28 approximately sixty percent. And. Your voters are. Full time 247 00:19:51,66 --> 00:19:58,59 permanent but by male voters. During the last election. Approximately seventy 248 00:19:58,60 --> 00:20:04,75 and almost eighty percent of the votes that were actually cast. Vote by mail in 249 00:20:04,76 --> 00:20:05,79 other words you had 250 00:20:05,80 --> 00:20:10,74 a Roger amount of the votes that were actually cast it came in far more than the 251 00:20:11,15 --> 00:20:16,82 actual polling place which was about twenty one percent so you know you can see the 252 00:20:16,83 --> 00:20:22,89 RAM ballot voting in San Diego County is the preferred method of casting about and 253 00:20:22,90 --> 00:20:29,00 the trend is increasing. The statewide and local I mean we can move on to the next 254 00:20:29,00 --> 00:20:34,81 . And I kind of covered that this is more of a county wide and that's just 255 00:20:34,82 --> 00:20:40,09 a statistic that I just mentioned with respect to your last election OK Let's talk 256 00:20:40,10 --> 00:20:44,47 a little bit about the actual logistics on that day there will be one ballot 257 00:20:44,48 --> 00:20:50,29 Dropbox in each city or town and that will be open during business hours twenty 258 00:20:50,30 --> 00:20:54,31 eight days prior to Election Day So you will be able to drop your ballot off at 259 00:20:54,32 --> 00:20:58,79 that ballot box location which in all likelihood will be so the voting center on 260 00:20:58,80 --> 00:21:01,76 that day but for sure you will have 261 00:21:01,77 --> 00:21:06,56 a and everyone will know where those locations are you will be able to drop it off 262 00:21:06,57 --> 00:21:13,23 at about twenty eight days prior to Election Day. Barack 263 00:21:13,24 --> 00:21:15,64 Dropbox will be open until eight P.M. 264 00:21:15,68 --> 00:21:19,93 On election day so you'll be able to drop it off again it any one of the voting 265 00:21:19,94 --> 00:21:26,78 centers county wide. We have to 266 00:21:26,79 --> 00:21:33,51 traditional voting centers that will remain as classical voting centers and those 267 00:21:33,52 --> 00:21:38,21 are the ones in Redwood City and that forty eight hour road which is elections are 268 00:21:38,22 --> 00:21:42,12 central. And I mentioned 269 00:21:42,13 --> 00:21:48,11 a little bit about the time period that they're open twenty nine days before. Well 270 00:21:48,12 --> 00:21:52,29 requires that each city or town have 271 00:21:52,30 --> 00:21:58,76 a point please so. We have twenty cities guaranteed to have twenty only places in 272 00:21:58,77 --> 00:22:03,35 our in our particular case for actions officer Church has decided that they're not 273 00:22:03,36 --> 00:22:06,81 just can be polling places they will be voting centers to allow the flexibility 274 00:22:06,82 --> 00:22:08,78 county wide to cast 275 00:22:08,79 --> 00:22:12,86 a ballot on that day and that to begin there for those who prefer to use that 276 00:22:12,87 --> 00:22:18,28 method you know action is to have people me to use their about they may not receive 277 00:22:18,32 --> 00:22:22,07 they may remember or today's Election Day They can simply go to their original or 278 00:22:22,08 --> 00:22:27,55 they can see if we any of the voting centers and cast their ballot that day. And 279 00:22:27,56 --> 00:22:31,82 again some people really prefer the traditional you know polling place and that 280 00:22:31,83 --> 00:22:38,61 will be there on on on that day the next steps for the county we're currently at 281 00:22:38,62 --> 00:22:42,65 reaching as I mentioned to all of the districts in all of the cities but we're 282 00:22:42,66 --> 00:22:47,71 going to be entering into an intensive campaign to conduct voter outreach voter 283 00:22:47,72 --> 00:22:52,36 information and voter education and there will be multiple contacts as I mentioned 284 00:22:52,37 --> 00:22:56,36 with each registered voter in this county. We will have 285 00:22:56,37 --> 00:23:01,08 a significant media campaign public service announcements which will cover the 286 00:23:01,09 --> 00:23:05,48 whole gamut of media radio digital print and social media and then as I mentioned 287 00:23:05,49 --> 00:23:08,76 we will hire an independent consultant to analyze all of this at the very end to 288 00:23:08,77 --> 00:23:15,41 conduct that report. This is really kind of the timeline and the 289 00:23:15,42 --> 00:23:21,26 responsibilities on the districts come into play. Specific resolution that has to 290 00:23:21,27 --> 00:23:27,57 be passed by the district board and it has to be the deadline to call an election 291 00:23:27,58 --> 00:23:32,03 traditionally or under the elections code is one hundred twenty five days because 292 00:23:32,07 --> 00:23:35,89 the one twenty five before the election that would be July I want two thousand and 293 00:23:35,90 --> 00:23:41,67 fifteen is when you is the deadline that you have to call an election and then the 294 00:23:41,80 --> 00:23:42,03 A.B. 295 00:23:42,04 --> 00:23:47,31 Twenty twenty rod basically says that you have in minus eighty eight those are to 296 00:23:47,32 --> 00:23:52,82 raga seventh which is the last day to request participation in the all mail ballot 297 00:23:52,83 --> 00:23:58,70 election we're recommending and suggesting that you pass that pressure to that day 298 00:23:58,71 --> 00:24:03,57 because that way we have. Basically the ability to know if we're going to be able 299 00:24:03,58 --> 00:24:08,68 to move forward on that or not very interesting provision of the law. And there 300 00:24:09,48 --> 00:24:13,70 were not. If we were simple right you were County you got 301 00:24:13,71 --> 00:24:18,76 a couple of school districts there and water districts would be pretty simple. But 302 00:24:18,77 --> 00:24:22,61 we have as I mentioned over sixty some odd jurisdictions here the last count was 303 00:24:22,62 --> 00:24:25,55 thirty seven but I think it's over it could be close to forty right now that are 304 00:24:25,56 --> 00:24:32,09 going to be having elections are over that. We must include every jurisdiction that 305 00:24:32,10 --> 00:24:34,56 is going to hold an election must have passed 306 00:24:34,57 --> 00:24:39,60 a resolution to participate in the all male ballot process so if one jurisdiction 307 00:24:40,06 --> 00:24:45,56 there's not passed Sorry guys could get one does not pass. 308 00:24:47,15 --> 00:24:52,37 The provision that the resolution then basically the county would not be able to be 309 00:24:52,38 --> 00:24:57,66 on the ballot question so it's very important that. We carefully consider this and 310 00:24:57,67 --> 00:25:04,28 see the benefits because really what it is it is an opportunity for us to study the 311 00:25:04,59 --> 00:25:09,03 around mail ballot concept and it's something that's very important only for 312 00:25:09,04 --> 00:25:14,39 Samatar County but for the state to understand better so on that note I've kind of 313 00:25:14,40 --> 00:25:14,93 spoken maybe 314 00:25:14,94 --> 00:25:18,65 a little too much here but I wanted to open it up to any questions and answers or 315 00:25:18,66 --> 00:25:23,41 any discussion that you might want to. Try to use you just answer the only question 316 00:25:23,42 --> 00:25:29,60 I had it's all so I would never make any sense of our vulnerability with this 317 00:25:29,61 --> 00:25:33,60 system over our traditional system fraud plus multiple more. 318 00:25:36,92 --> 00:25:41,69 I would say it's less vulnerable but no difference for sure Hillary want to speak 319 00:25:41,70 --> 00:25:43,92 a little bit. More. 320 00:25:49,37 --> 00:25:54,02 If your intent is to provide if you're going to do it whether by me or. 321 00:25:56,58 --> 00:26:03,57 Because here you can only place that you know elections up this. Better security 322 00:26:03,58 --> 00:26:09,41 measures than they have. But there's more room for things to happen. 323 00:26:12,65 --> 00:26:19,53 If that's. What. We have right sort of security procedures 324 00:26:19,54 --> 00:26:26,07 in place in the all mail ballot process and vote by mail. Ballots or second we 325 00:26:26,08 --> 00:26:29,66 check signatures on multiple occasions and it's not just one person it goes from 326 00:26:29,67 --> 00:26:32,89 one station to another to another there's any questions it goes to 327 00:26:32,90 --> 00:26:39,46 a supervisor and what we're trying to determine there is voter intent. So we 328 00:26:39,84 --> 00:26:46,34 just. Well you seriously take our responsibilities you know. It's very important 329 00:26:46,35 --> 00:26:51,80 that we try and cast every every ballot that we receive so it's voter intent that 330 00:26:51,81 --> 00:26:56,10 we're looking at we're looking at signatures and you know and we have multiple ways 331 00:26:56,11 --> 00:27:00,35 of checking that through machines and through actual you know physical review of 332 00:27:00,36 --> 00:27:06,35 every ballot. I've observed over the last couple of years and I'm impressed with 333 00:27:06,36 --> 00:27:11,74 the process and by the way all of you are invited to come on election day and see 334 00:27:11,75 --> 00:27:17,76 how the process actually works how the it's tabulated it's open to the public it is 335 00:27:17,77 --> 00:27:21,76 a very interesting process and I would highly encourage you to to see how your 336 00:27:21,77 --> 00:27:26,66 election system works in San Mateo County it's very transparent very open to anyone 337 00:27:26,92 --> 00:27:33,76 at any time to give you. A mechanism to see where signatures look like for 338 00:27:33,77 --> 00:27:40,65 those who signatures change or poll. Whether the physically coming in just to look 339 00:27:40,66 --> 00:27:46,00 at the original signature card that's going to looking at you OK that's just feel 340 00:27:46,60 --> 00:27:52,71 good things like I mean. If you register we register OK you're sick. 341 00:27:55,14 --> 00:27:57,90 OK So that would be one of OK so just just reregister 342 00:27:57,91 --> 00:28:03,23 a fellow New Car Oh OK OK All right Mr online so it's it's what it's doing with the 343 00:28:03,24 --> 00:28:06,22 register online it's your signature from the D.M.V. 344 00:28:06,90 --> 00:28:07,38 So if you have 345 00:28:07,39 --> 00:28:11,77 a question you go let's see how did I say it right was like OK that's my signature 346 00:28:11,77 --> 00:28:18,53 . Because it does she I mean I they almost didn't count my vote I got ballot as my 347 00:28:18,54 --> 00:28:21,09 signature did that's right if you want I can find 348 00:28:21,10 --> 00:28:26,73 a different Now yeah so that was OK so yeah example if you have your question at 349 00:28:26,74 --> 00:28:30,58 all three of you already registered his wife her expect people that you went into 350 00:28:30,59 --> 00:28:32,35 wanted to make sure it's been 351 00:28:32,36 --> 00:28:37,05 a while since their arrest or. Any other important items first in the on the about 352 00:28:37,06 --> 00:28:41,32 process is that we have more time to check So if we see. That there is an error 353 00:28:41,33 --> 00:28:41,56 there is 354 00:28:41,57 --> 00:28:45,23 a detour We'll get back in touch with you you know and we'll say by all means you 355 00:28:45,24 --> 00:28:48,23 know recast about do whatever you can if it's at the last day it makes 356 00:28:48,24 --> 00:28:52,70 a little difficult you know but like it would you would take any time you 357 00:28:52,71 --> 00:28:59,17 absolutely absolutely want every vote to count something else that we have so we 358 00:28:59,18 --> 00:29:05,18 get it out and it's going to get here because this is now let me have. It just 359 00:29:05,19 --> 00:29:08,37 because we're going to come up usually with another ballot but this signature of it 360 00:29:08,38 --> 00:29:13,20 doesn't mean we're going to look at the same address so why signature she signed 361 00:29:13,21 --> 00:29:18,82 her husband's ballot and vice versa that match we're going to count. It also is 362 00:29:18,83 --> 00:29:23,24 really well thought out so that you. Save everyone time do we have 363 00:29:23,69 --> 00:29:28,12 a motion or that we have in the middle the still reception one hundred fifteen show 364 00:29:28,13 --> 00:29:34,38 for.

We've 382 00:31:01,60 --> 00:31:07,71 included the budget in the. Word packet in case anybody wants to look at it or 383 00:31:08,20 --> 00:31:14,95 comment on it as one member of the public did tonight but we had not we 384 00:31:15,72 --> 00:31:21,55 will. Answer any questions that you might have but otherwise to for 385 00:31:21,85 --> 00:31:27,75 a more detailed discussion of the budget in the rate increase to the June thirtieth 386 00:31:27,98 --> 00:31:28,83 special meeting. 387 00:31:35,07 --> 00:31:35,32 I have 388 00:31:35,33 --> 00:31:42,22 a suggestion for the people working on the documents. Very 389 00:31:42,23 --> 00:31:49,15 hard to read these little numbers the useful. Minor four times 390 00:31:49,16 --> 00:31:55,72 that they would still have. I don't know if it's reasonable to put food 391 00:31:56,17 --> 00:31:59,34 revenue on one sheet the expense on one sheet give them 392 00:31:59,35 --> 00:32:05,36 a little space but it's not that it's impossible but it's it's not OK. 393 00:32:06,41 --> 00:32:13,30 You can see about we talk about it. And there's lots of there's so much data. That 394 00:32:13,62 --> 00:32:18,17 you know it's I mean it's important it's kind of accumulated but my tendency at 395 00:32:18,18 --> 00:32:22,63 that scale is which is quite so for not paying any attention I don't think that's 396 00:32:22,64 --> 00:32:23,47 the intent I think it was 397 00:32:23,48 --> 00:32:30,48 a golden document. In the US or do you move your have 398 00:32:31,37 --> 00:32:38,27 been that fast that I don't. Know. That I know it's 399 00:32:38,28 --> 00:32:40,02 to focus you're trying to form out on 400 00:32:40,37 --> 00:32:46,36 a level but. I'm sure there are ways. For like doing it online because you can just 401 00:32:46,63 --> 00:32:47,09 you know you do 402 00:32:47,10 --> 00:32:53,09 a section below it. Yeah I like that too but I don't think. There are going to be 403 00:32:53,33 --> 00:33:00,08 going to one using documents from others who if you for them look like that. But 404 00:33:00,09 --> 00:33:05,55 I'm with you I've got to pick screen just my eyes get yours get them always you 405 00:33:05,56 --> 00:33:11,14 know. It is hard to keep it all context and I like flipping back and forth to the 406 00:33:11,15 --> 00:33:18,00 page. Started to do on your screen I think. Is. But you call the 407 00:33:18,39 --> 00:33:25,22 cops on the lower corner like scores you need this. Courses and we have school 408 00:33:25,81 --> 00:33:32,30 I don't have time we're down there so. It's for nothing you know still within 409 00:33:32,31 --> 00:33:34,80 striking a cave Well we couldn't keep 410 00:33:34,81 --> 00:33:40,40 a rule of do this if you don't does. This Take it seems through 411 00:33:40,41 --> 00:33:45,65 a lot of other words this would see before you go. Oh. 412 00:33:47,32 --> 00:33:52,07 Yeah. We're going to go to Aruba OK. 413 00:33:54,23 --> 00:34:01,21 Ready sure. Let's. Go to Paris point 414 00:34:01,40 --> 00:34:07,85 five zero Yeah OK. Down ten fifteen. Years. 415 00:34:15,67 --> 00:34:19,65 OK OK ready to go. Like you. 416 00:34:23,40 --> 00:34:27,97 Yes they are saying our water campaign some of the new marketing. 417 00:34:31,53 --> 00:34:37,83 That our government Brown has. Put more money towards. So. 418 00:34:39,00 --> 00:34:44,86 Over the past three months there's been significant developments that have prompted 419 00:34:44,87 --> 00:34:50,75 the district to amend the existing drought ordinance that we have in place which. 420 00:34:51,90 --> 00:34:58,06 Is we that we adopted back in August of twenty four team. So staff is asking the 421 00:34:58,07 --> 00:35:03,99 board to adopt the proposed ordinance which were calling out twenty fifteen one to 422 00:35:04,00 --> 00:35:08,97 incorporate all these recent changes and I'm just going to give 423 00:35:08,98 --> 00:35:15,69 a precise. Presentation on. The changes I want to focus 424 00:35:16,25 --> 00:35:22,77 on the changes. To the we're calling it the amended and restated drought Portman's 425 00:35:22,77 --> 00:35:29,65 . So just as some background of what's been happening in 426 00:35:29,66 --> 00:35:36,24 March. When it became clear that the state was not achieving the water savings 427 00:35:36,25 --> 00:35:40,99 that. The governor and the State Water Resources Control Board had. 428 00:35:42,99 --> 00:35:49,92 Requested from everybody state why they implemented some new 429 00:35:50,91 --> 00:35:56,89 and user restrictions and prohibitions. And they were advertised pretty well in the 430 00:35:56,90 --> 00:36:02,00 media and that's the one where restaurants are required to only serve water upon 431 00:36:02,01 --> 00:36:08,81 request and requirement that hotels give the option to 432 00:36:09,54 --> 00:36:16,24 either washer not wash their linens and tops. And so in March we decided not to 433 00:36:16,28 --> 00:36:22,57 go in amend the existing ordinance at that time because. We had 434 00:36:23,57 --> 00:36:28,65 we kind of knew that there was going to be more coming in the next month April May 435 00:36:28,66 --> 00:36:34,03 and we were right so we held off making any changes at that time. 436 00:36:35,48 --> 00:36:40,22 So the next thing that happened was the. Snow survey in 437 00:36:40,23 --> 00:36:43,37 a on April first where Governor Brown have 438 00:36:43,50 --> 00:36:48,80 a press conference in. The soil sampling and mostly. 439 00:36:50,32 --> 00:36:56,91 With no snow around and he announced. His executive 440 00:36:56,92 --> 00:37:02,71 order that he was going to now. Be asking for 441 00:37:02,72 --> 00:37:08,08 a twenty five percent statewide reduction in part of our water use. 442 00:37:09,46 --> 00:37:16,20 And of course he gave that direction to the state board to implement that twenty 443 00:37:16,21 --> 00:37:22,31 five percent reduction. So the state board took the 444 00:37:22,72 --> 00:37:28,66 governor's direction to implement the twenty five percent reduction statewide 445 00:37:29,25 --> 00:37:33,27 and. What they came up with was 446 00:37:33,74 --> 00:37:39,67 a set of tears so they took of the day that water agencies have been submitting for 447 00:37:39,68 --> 00:37:46,29 the past year to production and and residential use and. 448 00:37:47,89 --> 00:37:54,32 Residential gallons per capita per day and they range and depending on. 449 00:37:56,05 --> 00:38:00,11 How you want your residential for company use was you were assigned to 450 00:38:00,12 --> 00:38:04,92 a certain tier of water stations so coast like county water district came into tear 451 00:38:04,93 --> 00:38:11,01 to with an eight percent savings Tier one is four percent savings. 452 00:38:12,17 --> 00:38:18,67 That was reserved for very special cases so really it kind of starts at two. 453 00:38:20,83 --> 00:38:26,32 So that was good news for us. We were stuck in the higher tiers of thirty six 454 00:38:26,33 --> 00:38:32,47 percent. It could have been much much worse for us so that was good news and 455 00:38:32,48 --> 00:38:38,93 a good and so the steerer. Percent so we're back on site for really. 456 00:38:40,52 --> 00:38:47,30 So the. Eight per cent reduction is on production so we have to report our 457 00:38:47,31 --> 00:38:51,88 monthly production and backs what they're basing our compliance on not sales but 458 00:38:51,89 --> 00:38:58,32 production. OK It's like. You know how close the doors Mark. 459 00:39:00,80 --> 00:39:06,72 So the difference between looks the difference between sales and. Production is 460 00:39:07,26 --> 00:39:13,36 what we call non-revenue water and in our revenue water is leaks it's the water we 461 00:39:13,37 --> 00:39:20,11 need to produce the water. That gets lost in production like might go out with the 462 00:39:20,12 --> 00:39:26,14 side. Because we do try to recycle as much as we can but some of that is lost and 463 00:39:26,76 --> 00:39:33,49 it includes like firefighting flows so. You know so that's the difference and it 464 00:39:33,50 --> 00:39:38,50 varies in months and you know so we're usually under ten percent you know probably 465 00:39:38,51 --> 00:39:45,33 has the most recent Our budget was about seven percent six point six percent on 466 00:39:45,34 --> 00:39:51,84 revenue water. But looking at around monthly basis. Trying to 467 00:39:51,85 --> 00:39:54,42 compare production and sales on 468 00:39:54,43 --> 00:39:59,14 a monthly basis does not work very well because of our buy monthly billing cycle 469 00:39:59,15 --> 00:40:04,03 and that and then even distribution of our accounts between the two by 470 00:40:04,04 --> 00:40:07,63 a monthly cycle so. We generally have to look at 471 00:40:07,64 --> 00:40:14,40 a longer period to compare. Production and and sales that is 472 00:40:14,41 --> 00:40:21,12 force I think it's fortunate that. The water board is tracking it 473 00:40:21,20 --> 00:40:26,65 on production because we literally know production almost in real time you can go 474 00:40:26,66 --> 00:40:31,38 in the next room and see that see the rate at which the newest player is producing 475 00:40:31,39 --> 00:40:32,92 water by thirteen hundred gallons 476 00:40:32,93 --> 00:40:37,12 a minute right house of literally every day we know what production is so the 477 00:40:37,50 --> 00:40:37,65 that's 478 00:40:37,66 --> 00:40:46,89 a pretty good thing yeah I think that's cleaner they think things are OK. So 479 00:40:46,90 --> 00:40:53,52 that's the state mandates. Then on our wholesale S A P U C 480 00:40:54,49 --> 00:41:00,65 They are going to. Continue with their requests for the temper cent 481 00:41:01,42 --> 00:41:06,92 reduction in water purchases from their wholesale customers which they did last 482 00:41:06,93 --> 00:41:11,45 year and so they're going they're going to continue that. Through to at least 483 00:41:11,46 --> 00:41:17,57 through twenty fifteen I think so volunteer mandatory is voluntary. Voluntary. 484 00:41:19,27 --> 00:41:25,66 OK So size six. So now we'll get into the changes in the ordinance so we added. 485 00:41:26,68 --> 00:41:33,23 New definitions and we kind of cleaned up the language one of. I added 486 00:41:33,68 --> 00:41:39,83 the definition for agricultural water use because it was part of the state's 487 00:41:40,01 --> 00:41:46,99 changes in their resolution. Because there's. There's issues 488 00:41:47,00 --> 00:41:53,87 with urban water suppliers serving agriculture and the question of what the state 489 00:41:53,88 --> 00:41:55,64 considered agriculture so they have 490 00:41:55,65 --> 00:42:02,03 a definition for it so I thought I would include it in this ordinance. We. 491 00:42:03,09 --> 00:42:07,53 Changed the morning for General Manager and his designee so clean that up 492 00:42:07,54 --> 00:42:13,73 a little added irrigation station because as you'll see later on in the 493 00:42:14,26 --> 00:42:20,79 presentation there the state added another end user prohibition about not 494 00:42:20,80 --> 00:42:26,39 irrigating during rain events so I mean I'm sorry that irrigation station one is 495 00:42:26,40 --> 00:42:33,36 for. We're going to limit the time that an irrigation 496 00:42:33,37 --> 00:42:38,68 station can be on. So to how you know reduce water waves to run up. 497 00:42:40,03 --> 00:42:46,55 Then the measurable rainfall definition we had to add that because the end user 498 00:42:46,56 --> 00:42:53,30 requirement from the state that now we are trying to prohibit irrigating during 499 00:42:53,31 --> 00:42:57,69 late events so you have to kind of define what that rain event is. 500 00:43:00,24 --> 00:43:05,28 OK so light so. So infections three 501 00:43:05,29 --> 00:43:12,08 a day. There were two new end user restrictions imposed missions added. 502 00:43:13,44 --> 00:43:17,83 That came from the state board and again this was first one of the application of 503 00:43:17,84 --> 00:43:23,13 water to outdoor landscapes. During And within forty eight hours after 504 00:43:23,14 --> 00:43:28,27 a measurable rainfall so that's why we needed to define measurable rainfall in the 505 00:43:28,28 --> 00:43:33,46 other one was the application of water to ornamental turf on public street mediums 506 00:43:34,26 --> 00:43:38,82 and I think reflect out here because I can't think of any public street media in 507 00:43:38,83 --> 00:43:45,75 that house lawn or so we left on that note on MT I'm. So 508 00:43:45,76 --> 00:43:51,74 the next lie changes to Section four So Section four specifically addresses 509 00:43:52,73 --> 00:43:59,11 restrictions on ornamental landscape and turf with spray irrigation. 510 00:44:01,16 --> 00:44:05,94 So we're going to keep which is in the current ordinance the time of day 511 00:44:05,95 --> 00:44:11,29 restrictions where you're not allowed to water between eighty five pm We watch you 512 00:44:11,30 --> 00:44:14,06 watering early morning or late evening for 513 00:44:14,07 --> 00:44:20,28 a brain. The new one is the length of time restriction so no irrigation station 514 00:44:21,01 --> 00:44:26,78 can be on for more than fifteen minutes and again it's to try to reduce water waste 515 00:44:26,79 --> 00:44:33,63 and. I should mention that we when writing this section for 516 00:44:34,15 --> 00:44:39,72 our wish trying to. Align it with what other water agencies are doing in the Bay 517 00:44:39,73 --> 00:44:45,04 Area specifically on the peninsula in the South Bay So. 518 00:44:46,94 --> 00:44:51,45 So that so some of this the timing was taken from what other agencies are doing so 519 00:44:51,46 --> 00:44:52,65 that we could have more of 520 00:44:52,66 --> 00:44:59,57 a uniform message. In there you know so for Alaska contractors they 521 00:44:59,58 --> 00:45:02,76 would you know it's that little bit easier for them going from jurisdiction to 522 00:45:02,77 --> 00:45:09,41 jurisdiction so it's not perfect but. That's the real reason why we were just 523 00:45:09,42 --> 00:45:13,27 trying to make it kind of uniform throughout the boss cage and see it at least we 524 00:45:13,28 --> 00:45:19,36 skipped over three seats you want to talk oh did I skip three see. THEM OUT I'M 525 00:45:19,37 --> 00:45:23,47 ALREADY when I finish your section four then I'll go back to you. 526 00:45:26,55 --> 00:45:28,99 OK yeah I'll go back to three C. 527 00:45:29,00 --> 00:45:35,97 Sorry. You are. 528 00:45:38,41 --> 00:45:45,40 So so back to Section four so then the next new restriction. And again this was 529 00:45:45,41 --> 00:45:50,28 to try to be consistent with other vast agencies is restricting the days of the 530 00:45:50,29 --> 00:45:55,94 week that you can irrigate with spray or Gratian. So we decided to do it limited to 531 00:45:55,95 --> 00:45:56,44 two days 532 00:45:56,45 --> 00:46:03,38 a week you are not allowed to water on Saturday or Sunday so it's by your 533 00:46:03,39 --> 00:46:08,89 address odd even so I does Monday and Thursday in the event is Tuesday on Friday 534 00:46:09,80 --> 00:46:14,48 and if you do if you have like a dedicated very geisha account that serves 535 00:46:14,49 --> 00:46:19,84 a common area that doesn't have an address then you would default to Monday and 536 00:46:19,85 --> 00:46:22,46 Thursday and if for some reason 537 00:46:23,13 --> 00:46:29,50 a customer needed to change their days we'd be open to that you know. We can't do 538 00:46:29,51 --> 00:46:32,49 that for everyone but for if if there is a special me for 539 00:46:32,50 --> 00:46:37,56 a larger customer something we could be using apply the drip irrigation is what 540 00:46:37,57 --> 00:46:40,14 lets you know there's no excuse for 541 00:46:40,15 --> 00:46:46,59 a very good question. In the other section it gives you the the exemptions OK and 542 00:46:46,96 --> 00:46:53,79 drip irrigation there's no restriction on days of the week yeah so that's two 543 00:46:54,11 --> 00:46:58,18 one of the reasons for that is trying to encourage people to come birds have drip 544 00:46:58,73 --> 00:47:05,18 irrigation. OK so now we'll take 545 00:47:05,19 --> 00:47:11,53 a step back and we'll go back to three C's Ari which is slight a. So we talked 546 00:47:11,54 --> 00:47:17,18 a little about this the new or end user requirements where the serving you know 547 00:47:17,19 --> 00:47:23,69 drinking water by request and the hotel hospitality. Requirement for letting people 548 00:47:23,70 --> 00:47:30,55 choose whether or not to wash their towels and linens. The third one. Is 549 00:47:30,92 --> 00:47:37,73 a little more complicated they added. They wanted the state board wanted to 550 00:47:37,74 --> 00:47:43,86 address customers of urban water agencies that have an alternate source of water 551 00:47:44,29 --> 00:47:50,62 surface water or well. So they wrote this requirement that So basically all 552 00:47:50,63 --> 00:47:55,65 nonresidential doesn't apply to residential but nonresidential customers that use 553 00:47:55,66 --> 00:47:58,08 a water supply any portion of which is from 554 00:47:58,09 --> 00:48:03,63 a source other than the water agency because they kind of water district has two 555 00:48:03,64 --> 00:48:10,17 options they can limit irrigation of ornamental landscape and turf with part of the 556 00:48:10,18 --> 00:48:14,90 water to the to date no more than two days per week which is what we're trying to 557 00:48:14,91 --> 00:48:20,99 get the residential customers during. Early or they can reduce their paddle water 558 00:48:21,00 --> 00:48:26,87 usage by twenty five percent for the months of June twenty fifteen through February 559 00:48:26,88 --> 00:48:31,63 two thousand and sixteen. Campaign and then you're comparing that to those same 560 00:48:31,64 --> 00:48:37,67 months in twenty thirteen. So those customers who have alternate water source have 561 00:48:37,71 --> 00:48:44,11 those that's their choice and because it's and use your permit by the state board 562 00:48:44,12 --> 00:48:45,05 the state board has 563 00:48:45,06 --> 00:48:52,05 a four eighty to come in and do enforcement on that. So. So 564 00:48:52,06 --> 00:48:56,48 what we've requested is in this ordinance is that our customers who have an 565 00:48:56,49 --> 00:49:02,69 alternate water supply notify us and let us give us the heads up on what 566 00:49:03,54 --> 00:49:08,13 method of compliance going to choose for that so that we have we have 567 00:49:08,14 --> 00:49:13,47 a record of it. And we'll have to do some some outreach specifically for that. 568 00:49:15,27 --> 00:49:17,35 So OK so we did three C. 569 00:49:17,36 --> 00:49:24,21 And. That's it if you have any questions about the change and it's. Going to 570 00:49:25,07 --> 00:49:30,24 work question I have is it seems like so much of what the district is going to do 571 00:49:30,72 --> 00:49:37,60 going forward is based on twenty thirty years so production its numbers 572 00:49:37,61 --> 00:49:44,47 were so were the hurry is your opinion we can see what customers 573 00:49:45,18 --> 00:49:50,89 could we. Have them no underwater knows what they used in the billing cycle in two 574 00:49:50,90 --> 00:49:57,46 thousand and thirteen compared to what. You are right it is also OK 575 00:49:58,43 --> 00:50:02,86 to have you know my production numbers should really include in our production 576 00:50:02,87 --> 00:50:09,62 numbers the twenty thirty numbers so you can pay or make percentages it seems like 577 00:50:09,63 --> 00:50:15,25 that's the data that we have to let go yeah we could add that. I could add that 578 00:50:15,26 --> 00:50:19,93 like to my staff report and water resources the twenty thirteen so you can see 579 00:50:19,94 --> 00:50:22,81 where we are because I have to report that to the state every month by the 580 00:50:22,82 --> 00:50:27,99 fifteenth anyway so it's something I'm already doing so we could share that and the 581 00:50:28,00 --> 00:50:33,65 staff report as far as customers Yeah we I we actually have had people already 582 00:50:33,66 --> 00:50:39,16 calling in there and asking. You know what their past usage is so it's something we 583 00:50:39,17 --> 00:50:45,12 can print out to give them. I'm not sure how easy it would be to put it on the bill 584 00:50:45,13 --> 00:50:45,83 work for 585 00:50:45,87 --> 00:50:51,93 a limited on space and formatting but we can look into that but the customer can 586 00:50:51,94 --> 00:50:56,02 always call in and we can you we can print out their history and mail it to them 587 00:50:56,86 --> 00:50:59,79 for the twenty thirteen so that they know that kind of 588 00:50:59,93 --> 00:51:04,58 a temp percent. But it's good to talk to the customer too because 589 00:51:04,59 --> 00:51:09,94 a lackluster means are already very low so for them to cut back ten percent isn't. 590 00:51:11,29 --> 00:51:16,39 Practical I mean they're already very low users so when we say that you know we're 591 00:51:16,40 --> 00:51:21,90 trying to get the customers that use more to to cut back that ten percent and years 592 00:51:21,91 --> 00:51:22,13 ago if 593 00:51:22,14 --> 00:51:26,13 a customer uses more water it's usually because of our story use so that's why 594 00:51:26,14 --> 00:51:32,83 we're trying to focus on the irrigation practices and approach it that way. To 595 00:51:32,84 --> 00:51:37,75 put we put the production production number comparison in our weekly production 596 00:51:38,43 --> 00:51:44,78 numbers report. Our residential users have conserved significantly more than eight 597 00:51:44,79 --> 00:51:51,30 or ten percent and that's what has put us in the low tier and what so far has 598 00:51:51,31 --> 00:51:58,09 allowed us to four would imposing. Significant 599 00:51:58,10 --> 00:52:04,37 restrictions or conservation goals on our businesses that would be economically 600 00:52:04,38 --> 00:52:10,31 damaged by having to cut back where we could stay and that's a real that's 601 00:52:10,32 --> 00:52:17,26 a real benefit of. Residential conservation typical residents 602 00:52:17,27 --> 00:52:21,83 are conserving more than eight percent over the first C. 603 00:52:21,84 --> 00:52:28,64 In January through May twenty fifteen Our production was sixteen overall 604 00:52:28,65 --> 00:52:34,83 sixteen percent lower than. Twenty thirteen 605 00:52:35,63 --> 00:52:41,86 April was twenty two percent lower in May was forty seven percent lower OK it's not 606 00:52:42,29 --> 00:52:49,19 as. Well that's maybe better for me and I always having to tell you 607 00:52:49,86 --> 00:52:55,96 where you know. We have you know no matter where this is Kathleen truly you seem. 608 00:52:58,78 --> 00:53:04,33 To have to manage your prerogative. But you know it's interesting that we had 609 00:53:04,34 --> 00:53:07,97 a public comment or express what seems to be 610 00:53:08,01 --> 00:53:13,14 a pretty commonly held opinion and that is that we have some kind of restrictions 611 00:53:13,15 --> 00:53:17,31 or quotas for residential users or any kind of penalty we don't have any of those 612 00:53:17,32 --> 00:53:22,11 things we have no penalty for residential use or that doesn't concern about all. 613 00:53:23,32 --> 00:53:29,52 And we have no standards for residential conservation so 614 00:53:30,15 --> 00:53:34,63 yet we're still in stage two of our water shortage we're going to see plan we're 615 00:53:34,64 --> 00:53:40,07 still making the voluntary under stage to voluntary I love the waterways type. 616 00:53:41,67 --> 00:53:47,15 Violations The only enforcement we really have is to turn people off which takes 617 00:53:47,16 --> 00:53:51,89 a lot of notification I'm you know documentation and it's not something we can give 618 00:53:51,90 --> 00:53:56,75 it away so. Yeah so it is 619 00:53:56,76 --> 00:54:03,70 a common we don't have the authority to just take it people. For you know have 620 00:54:03,74 --> 00:54:09,90 for water waves and things like that. You know so it'll take a lot of outreach and 621 00:54:09,91 --> 00:54:16,89 a lot of education and. Documentation don't force many I don't think that people 622 00:54:16,90 --> 00:54:22,74 really appreciate how. How good our situation is being in 623 00:54:22,75 --> 00:54:27,47 a voluntary regime at eight percent as opposed to some of these agencies all you 624 00:54:27,48 --> 00:54:34,42 have up to thirty six. And significant mandatory. Cutbacks accompanied 625 00:54:34,43 --> 00:54:41,01 by significant penalties so so far we are we're in good shape and 626 00:54:41,08 --> 00:54:47,80 unable to avoid that and San Francisco stays where it is we hope to be 627 00:54:47,81 --> 00:54:54,50 able with that through. Fiscal sixteen. Question 628 00:54:54,56 --> 00:55:00,77 about the fact that we we have budgeted additional funds for additional staffing 629 00:55:01,35 --> 00:55:08,03 to implement all of this for you given the current circumstances are you continuing 630 00:55:08,04 --> 00:55:08,33 to see 631 00:55:08,34 --> 00:55:15,71 a need for that additional staffing. Well that Kathleen had her thoughts but yes 632 00:55:15,88 --> 00:55:21,27 yes. And the context in which we presented that I think it was. 633 00:55:23,35 --> 00:55:28,19 We know it's not going to rain between now and November and it's quite possible 634 00:55:28,20 --> 00:55:35,06 that things will get worse before they get better. At the Aqua conference we just 635 00:55:35,07 --> 00:55:39,34 attended that people from Australia said well we got to year four of what we 636 00:55:39,35 --> 00:55:43,03 thought was the worst drought ever and we thought it's going to rain soon it's 637 00:55:43,04 --> 00:55:48,76 going to be over they weren't even halfway through so we know that the next steps 638 00:55:48,77 --> 00:55:55,58 on the next steps in reducing our demand will take very significant effort more 639 00:55:55,59 --> 00:56:02,08 effort then then we can mobilize over that time period will have between learning 640 00:56:02,09 --> 00:56:06,08 that will have to do that and having to actually accomplishing that I mean I guess 641 00:56:06,09 --> 00:56:08,61 I was just I don't know if that's kind of that was 642 00:56:08,62 --> 00:56:15,24 a very clear way of saying it but we. Take not feel like we're going to need to do 643 00:56:15,25 --> 00:56:16,62 more you know I think we're in 644 00:56:16,63 --> 00:56:23,49 a we're fortunate to be in the regime we are now still voluntary no penalties but 645 00:56:23,50 --> 00:56:29,68 if it doesn't unless we get some significant recovery. We won't be able to stay 646 00:56:29,69 --> 00:56:34,13 there and we need to be ready for this so that was kind of my follow up question 647 00:56:34,14 --> 00:56:41,10 was just the timing of hiring additional staff. Budget I guess as of July 648 00:56:41,11 --> 00:56:45,65 first July first the budget assumes I think will be we will. 649 00:56:47,90 --> 00:56:50,38 Plan to come to the board with 650 00:56:50,42 --> 00:56:57,20 a job classifications for approval in July and look to bring these we have 651 00:56:57,21 --> 00:57:04,12 two positions one in one in good faith as administrative side for reading unit 652 00:57:04,13 --> 00:57:09,94 another in and water resources for outreach and enforcement so we bring those 653 00:57:09,95 --> 00:57:16,03 classifications to the board for. Who in July that's your plan now and him. And 654 00:57:16,04 --> 00:57:22,53 filled him after that. Cannot be said just one clarification 655 00:57:22,88 --> 00:57:28,78 when Dave refers to being under voluntary. He's referring to San Francisco right 656 00:57:29,08 --> 00:57:30,38 San Francisco has 657 00:57:30,39 --> 00:57:36,35 a voluntary ten percent still under their regime that eight percent is 658 00:57:36,36 --> 00:57:43,22 a state requirement that you need to reduce. Production by percent 659 00:57:43,75 --> 00:57:46,48 state law now and so that is that is 660 00:57:46,49 --> 00:57:51,60 a mandatory requirement on us I just want to clarify the distinction as you have 661 00:57:51,61 --> 00:57:56,53 both in the resolution which Yeah it's confusing we can talk about how to try and 662 00:57:56,54 --> 00:58:01,98 it's hard to clarify within our world with the coast and county water district 663 00:58:02,84 --> 00:58:09,69 everything is still voluntary but we're already. It we in terms of we have no 664 00:58:09,70 --> 00:58:14,88 quotas for how much water you can use I mean David late we're not under allocations 665 00:58:14,88 --> 00:58:20,48 . If you were under mandatory water waist restrictions imposed patients that were 666 00:58:20,49 --> 00:58:26,08 not under an allocation and I think that's what gave like well it's confuse I think 667 00:58:26,09 --> 00:58:30,09 it's confuse it's confusing for us and I know it's confusing for the public there's 668 00:58:30,10 --> 00:58:36,95 a lot of noise about mandatory water cutbacks we're still in the voluntary cut 669 00:58:36,96 --> 00:58:41,81 back stage of our water shortage contingency plan yes we have 670 00:58:41,82 --> 00:58:48,26 a mandate to reduce. Usage eight percent versus twenty thirteen 671 00:58:48,27 --> 00:58:54,42 production but thanks to the good our residential users have done 672 00:58:54,43 --> 00:59:00,79 a conserving and thanks to Kathleen's persistent outreach efforts that investments 673 00:59:00,80 --> 00:59:07,39 that we've made in improving conservation we already meet that so we haven't had to 674 00:59:08,03 --> 00:59:12,26 we haven't had to mandate further restrictions but as you go we have to meet the 675 00:59:12,27 --> 00:59:15,36 goals of meeting the eight percent is not optional. 676 00:59:19,95 --> 00:59:24,40 Man and then the ordinance provides tools that this district has we have 677 00:59:24,52 --> 00:59:30,02 a lot of flexibility to the economy percent and what Kathleen's presented to you is 678 00:59:30,03 --> 00:59:34,47 an ordinance that includes not only the state restrictions on all Californians but 679 00:59:34,48 --> 00:59:39,38 also some additional restrictions to help achieve that eighty percent reduction in 680 00:59:39,39 --> 00:59:46,19 conservation. One of the things I was interested in that under section two 681 00:59:46,53 --> 00:59:52,86 definitions there is the agricultural use and so it says Government Code section of 682 00:59:52,87 --> 00:59:59,49 law so why go on line and go to or state come up with what 683 00:59:59,76 --> 01:00:06,59 I want I find that definition yeah that's what I did. Put on my hand. And found it 684 01:00:07,34 --> 01:00:14,16 it's not added lightning and basically. You know it's 685 01:00:14,20 --> 01:00:15,56 it's it's different. Has 686 01:00:15,57 --> 01:00:20,66 a definition for commercial agriculture which includes greenhouses. 687 01:00:22,22 --> 01:00:27,28 And. You know so that's like so our so we have 688 01:00:27,29 --> 01:00:33,96 a sales class at agriculture. But not all of those customers in that 689 01:00:33,97 --> 01:00:39,68 south cost meet the government code definition so that's why I felt I needed to 690 01:00:39,98 --> 01:00:44,42 define you know how that use because you know it's 691 01:00:44,43 --> 01:00:50,63 a reference specifically and in that state boards resolution and water in the water 692 01:00:51,15 --> 01:00:56,47 you know it's when you're really so I can give. You should probably have it well 693 01:00:56,48 --> 01:00:59,80 anyways I go I'm searchin that's what I asked wonder if we should put it in there. 694 01:01:01,66 --> 01:01:04,21 That's my suggestion but the language is 695 01:01:04,22 --> 01:01:10,42 a big No it's not that I want you guys. Thank you 696 01:01:11,33 --> 01:01:11,88 as well you know. 697 01:01:17,76 --> 01:01:22,28 It's six words. You know offering more than 698 01:01:22,29 --> 01:01:26,57 a. Right it's going to pull out of my feeling for time and practice 699 01:01:26,58 --> 01:01:32,76 a. Newsier to read what it says you know what you think of some way of life. 700 01:01:36,25 --> 01:01:43,20 Thank you. We have to reevaluate this or that we had over the. You 701 01:01:43,21 --> 01:01:45,05 know this isn't a good it's 702 01:01:45,06 --> 01:01:51,05 a new and so we have to adopt this new we were going to do it. So I moved to adopt 703 01:01:51,06 --> 01:01:54,81 Resolution two thousand and fifteen zero six calling for him to give me what's 704 01:01:54,82 --> 01:01:57,40 wrong one moment ago I really going I was done with 705 01:01:57,41 --> 01:02:02,10 a look at my head and let's go back for two minutes twenty fifteen and I would be 706 01:02:02,11 --> 01:02:06,22 a lot of little We've talked ordinance twenty fifteen zero one restating of 707 01:02:06,23 --> 01:02:11,49 expanding mandatory water use restrictions for physicians under stage two water 708 01:02:11,50 --> 01:02:15,28 shortage of emergency warning of course site County Water District water shortages 709 01:02:15,28 --> 01:02:21,45 . Contingency Plan not certain. Given that you're leaving. 710 01:02:22,50 --> 01:02:29,02 Something out I think. It's. A very 711 01:02:29,03 --> 01:02:32,88 much good job.

Could lose money but I'll bet on a brighter note we got 731 01:04:24,16 --> 01:04:28,86 a new take mixer which is improve the water quality and else take which always. 732 01:04:30,07 --> 01:04:34,48 We're always adding chlorine to that. So that we really don't have to do that much 733 01:04:34,49 --> 01:04:40,59 anymore if at all but the big thing was the eye you were expected by the Water 734 01:04:40,60 --> 01:04:46,98 Resources Control Board that came out late finally. Gave us our side of Terry 735 01:04:46,99 --> 01:04:52,51 survey of the deadest improvements in. We were very very pleased. And I was very 736 01:04:52,52 --> 01:04:58,20 pleased I was I was very pleased with how how Schon our treatment supervisor Sean 737 01:04:58,21 --> 01:05:03,46 Donovan conducted the door and the treatment distribution operators that were there 738 01:05:03,57 --> 01:05:10,10 Logan Duffy And Todd Schmidt they were able to answer every and all question and 739 01:05:11,03 --> 01:05:16,90 perform any activities that she wanted them to do without any hesitation and of 740 01:05:16,91 --> 01:05:20,53 course the plants they were very pleased at how well the plant runs they had 741 01:05:20,54 --> 01:05:27,50 a few better things for us to do but they always do how far back inspectors go. To 742 01:05:27,51 --> 01:05:33,94 these inspectors remember the old yeah they do. They'd rather because they're still 743 01:05:33,95 --> 01:05:40,60 stories that are circulating on exam you know yeah and so they're very pleased 744 01:05:40,91 --> 01:05:44,51 with the fact that we've not only changed back what 745 01:05:44,52 --> 01:05:50,84 a decade ago but I'd able to sustain our high level of operation and 746 01:05:50,85 --> 01:05:56,11 performance yes if they if they were Robin realm of to know where we started I'm 747 01:05:56,12 --> 01:06:01,89 sure they would be very very very pleased Yeah so yeah we got the letter just this 748 01:06:01,90 --> 01:06:06,40 week their results and like I mentioned there are some minor things we have to 749 01:06:06,41 --> 01:06:12,51 update our operations manual isn't quite done yet. A couple other minor things that 750 01:06:12,51 --> 01:06:19,11 . To actually show the results of our original pilot study with with 751 01:06:19,12 --> 01:06:24,34 changing our coagulants but these are these are minor things that we have 752 01:06:24,35 --> 01:06:31,21 a systematic compiling them and said that I mean. There's anything else here I had 753 01:06:31,22 --> 01:06:34,65 to be glad to answer any questions I want to compliment you on the taste of the 754 01:06:34,97 --> 01:06:41,29 reason so it's fantastic. That speech or but yeah we 755 01:06:42,04 --> 01:06:44,85 do our best going to great we're blessed with with 756 01:06:44,86 --> 01:06:48,77 a really good water supply and we really truly are I work for Contra Costa water 757 01:06:48,78 --> 01:06:55,13 district for thirteen years we're blessed. I don't like to come in the injury. 758 01:06:57,60 --> 01:07:02,96 It was really nice to see that the three agencies can actually coordinate in the 759 01:07:02,97 --> 01:07:05,83 best interest of everybody three It truly is 760 01:07:05,84 --> 01:07:12,74 a breath of fresh air you know I have this circle here. With you know the city 761 01:07:12,69 --> 01:07:16,00 was was. It was a little shaky for 762 01:07:16,01 --> 01:07:21,62 a while there but some well we got back on track and the county I was surprised 763 01:07:21,63 --> 01:07:27,00 that the county actually agreed to delay an overlay project until we could you know 764 01:07:27,01 --> 01:07:31,63 get the. We face three B. 765 01:07:32,06 --> 01:07:38,23 Ave Cabrio project completed they understood our our budgetary constraints that 766 01:07:38,29 --> 01:07:40,51 made us move back 767 01:07:40,89 --> 01:07:45,93 a year but they were very well we can cooperate if it's really good. So we're 768 01:07:45,94 --> 01:07:47,00 moving we're moving 769 01:07:47,01 --> 01:07:53,32 a couple of pipeline replacement replacement projects in Miramar up by 770 01:07:53,33 --> 01:07:58,67 a couple of years to comedy at the city. Paving schedule they're actually going to 771 01:07:58,68 --> 01:08:04,77 rebuild a couple of streets including the one I live on in Miramar. That's just 772 01:08:04,78 --> 01:08:11,69 a coincidence that the city council members are yours and. I was not part of the 773 01:08:11,70 --> 01:08:16,26 agency cooperation but they're going there these are very significant projects for 774 01:08:16,27 --> 01:08:20,26 the city they're going to be putting taking out all the existing asphalt this isn't 775 01:08:20,27 --> 01:08:26,90 a street painting project this is six hundred ninety asphalt on our street and on 776 01:08:26,91 --> 01:08:33,82 Washington and we don't want our own cast iron lines breaking under the streets. 777 01:08:35,55 --> 01:08:38,22 So. It's been 778 01:08:38,23 --> 01:08:43,60 a good opportunity to work with the city and coordinate with good yeah I'll 779 01:08:43,61 --> 01:08:49,18 a large portion of our maintenance budget is paving. We were really really 780 01:08:49,19 --> 01:08:54,58 decimated our budget this year is for paving from these catastrophic breaks. 781 01:08:56,31 --> 01:09:02,41 It's also nice to see the final phase of the highpoint replace them. Project is 782 01:09:02,42 --> 01:09:08,26 seventy percent. Full of the sign. Yet this is. 783 01:09:10,08 --> 01:09:16,95 The final phase which is for you to bridge the. Formerly Known as I was so 784 01:09:16,96 --> 01:09:23,83 proud that I said I'm glad I'm. Working so hard to be politically correct we tell 785 01:09:23,84 --> 01:09:29,35 it like it is around here. OK thank you for that get you off thanks. 786 01:09:30,89 --> 01:09:31,12 It is 787 01:09:31,13 --> 01:09:38,19 a else we have. Addition to jet and that's. Pretty 788 01:09:38,20 --> 01:09:44,71 much not what you want bigger primary already on now on because. I was kind of 789 01:09:44,72 --> 01:09:51,56 hoping that we might get an update on that. And that is. From the engineers or the 790 01:09:51,60 --> 01:09:58,28 constant summation of the mainstream pipe project. But it's good. 791 01:09:59,45 --> 01:10:05,36 It's much easier so I just I mean I'm just curious as to have we seen any bids or 792 01:10:05,37 --> 01:10:11,30 any costs or no bids you know we're getting any kind of medication or. A new cost 793 01:10:11,31 --> 01:10:18,23 estimate I think is. One point seven. Extensionally lower than the sticker shock 794 01:10:18,24 --> 01:10:24,05 number we three percent of you are right the horizontal directional drilling is 795 01:10:24,06 --> 01:10:24,73 less than half 796 01:10:24,74 --> 01:10:29,16 a million so it really reduced the overall cost of the number I have in my mind 797 01:10:29,17 --> 01:10:33,58 this is one point seven will bring that back also Yeah I love you said the other 798 01:10:33,59 --> 01:10:39,55 cause and was just curious about how we are doing with work with only. 799 01:10:43,51 --> 01:10:45,14 OK we got it we got 800 01:10:45,24 --> 01:10:49,32 a notice from the State Water Resources Control Board that they're actually moving 801 01:10:49,33 --> 01:10:54,51 ahead with review of our petition for extension of time so it's 802 01:10:54,52 --> 01:11:01,10 a petition we put in submitted in two thousand and four. And if 803 01:11:01,11 --> 01:11:06,32 approved it would extend our time to December thirty first twenty sixteen right so 804 01:11:06,33 --> 01:11:10,66 hopefully they will approve it before that time yes out here is there 805 01:11:10,67 --> 01:11:17,38 a schedule or anything and you know I know there's no one else to there's no real 806 01:11:17,39 --> 01:11:22,16 schedule although the. General feeling is they're trying to do these things 807 01:11:22,17 --> 01:11:27,92 a little more expeditiously than. Theirs than the initial schedule they followed 808 01:11:28,35 --> 01:11:31,91 with ours would indicate that they were the E.R. 809 01:11:31,92 --> 01:11:38,08 Was on the critical path so we needed to finish the that are in then. With our 810 01:11:38,09 --> 01:11:44,58 having done that they then have restarted their their consideration process 811 01:11:45,53 --> 01:11:51,17 I think that's great and only you can if you are and I guess you know the thing I'm 812 01:11:51,18 --> 01:11:57,66 really concerned about is his having watched the recent sand meeting on recycled 813 01:11:57,67 --> 01:12:04,28 water. It just seems like we're involved without being invited and so 814 01:12:04,29 --> 01:12:10,16 I just I think that I'd like for the board to begin strategizing what we want to do 815 01:12:10,17 --> 01:12:17,12 to try to move recycle water forward I think it's it's our duty and responsibility 816 01:12:17,13 --> 01:12:22,37 to get serious about it and you know attend izing him maybe that's 817 01:12:22,38 --> 01:12:26,71 a way to start talking strategy here we need to have the solution about it we talk 818 01:12:26,72 --> 01:12:33,69 about. And yeah but I think it would be really special because I know that there's 819 01:12:34,16 --> 01:12:40,80 money starting to be spent on Sam's part right now and Sam Porter has changed so 820 01:12:40,86 --> 01:12:41,06 it's 821 01:12:41,27 --> 01:12:45,78 a different sort of situation I don't know if that mandatory how that's going down 822 01:12:45,79 --> 01:12:47,78 but looking for it brought 823 01:12:47,79 --> 01:12:54,78 a minute there. Or using. General Manager men are really interesting 824 01:12:55,74 --> 01:13:02,25 so I just think that it's I think that we need to be proactive that's mine but I 825 01:13:02,26 --> 01:13:06,70 don't know how to do food on the agenda as it works but yeah it's something more 826 01:13:06,71 --> 01:13:09,77 than that it alone I don't know how much we can really discuss my mom 827 01:13:09,78 --> 01:13:16,46 a little confused too and I know the review called me and. One of my opinion of. 828 01:13:19,28 --> 01:13:19,69 Him to be 829 01:13:19,70 --> 01:13:23,92 a steam moving forward with with recycled water in my question was well really 830 01:13:23,93 --> 01:13:28,75 didn't know once told me that. We are the water district that serves. 831 01:13:31,12 --> 01:13:35,59 This area so I don't understand. Yes I'm 832 01:13:35,60 --> 01:13:42,49 a little. Perplexed here myself on what's really going on. I 833 01:13:42,50 --> 01:13:49,02 know we. Live in Juneau. Been very proactive since the day I was elected in the end 834 01:13:49,03 --> 01:13:54,27 trying to move this forward and we've done everything and we possibly can so I 835 01:13:54,28 --> 01:13:59,46 don't know what's going on so I would muddle up day to myself with. What's going on 836 01:13:59,76 --> 01:14:05,98 so at some point. Need to be discussed so I'm not sure the best way to do have it 837 01:14:06,41 --> 01:14:10,92 if it means you know agendas of you and then we can at least talk about it and say 838 01:14:11,70 --> 01:14:16,89 you can do something or I'm happy with the workshop approach or you know look to 839 01:14:16,90 --> 01:14:22,32 stuff make you feel you know. It could look into really what is the what is the 840 01:14:22,33 --> 01:14:27,11 current status Amy and it's really brief us and if there is indeed movement why 841 01:14:27,12 --> 01:14:30,99 haven't we been asked to the table or maybe there's been no movement maybe it's 842 01:14:31,00 --> 01:14:37,04 a lot of I don't know. I just think it's our it's also kind of our last chance to 843 01:14:37,05 --> 01:14:42,97 three of us are up for auction this year and so things are going to change and the 844 01:14:42,98 --> 01:14:48,56 sooner we start the chances for to make sure we put some kind of the direction 845 01:14:48,57 --> 01:14:55,46 there maybe as we think you know really. OK. We just got 846 01:14:55,75 --> 01:15:00,47 a look in the status you give us give us an update will interpret that as direction 847 01:15:00,48 --> 01:15:04,36 to look into it in the least have 848 01:15:04,37 --> 01:15:09,71 a discussion about gender ising is there something to cut but I don't know where we 849 01:15:09,72 --> 01:15:16,02 have at least looking. In the past. That is our authority to distributors our water 850 01:15:16,18 --> 01:15:22,39 water water code. Names us as we go through here of any resort Waters is that 851 01:15:22,53 --> 01:15:29,43 correct or. It's yes but it's more there's nuances to Leo 852 01:15:29,74 --> 01:15:35,09 so it might be time for Dave and I. So if there is any discussion why are we at the 853 01:15:35,10 --> 01:15:39,64 table because. Water. Sort of these water cause it was of course as distributing. 854 01:15:41,04 --> 01:15:43,37 Recycled water Great thank you thank you sir that's 855 01:15:43,38 --> 01:15:50,06 a great thanks for bringing I have come. And they also. It's 856 01:15:50,07 --> 01:15:53,60 called the status of the next time you're not just we're going to have more people 857 01:15:53,61 --> 01:15:58,58 who continually have it or not being able to run the show stating fans are still 858 01:15:59,14 --> 01:16:03,99 gathering talk about the magazine announcing new doors crossed off so really kind 859 01:16:04,00 --> 01:16:09,71 of cool just for you to be so we are in for tonight and we should all reconvene on 860 01:16:09,72 --> 01:16:14,10 June thirtieth seven o'clock for.
