Summary
On June 23 the Commission approved the minutes, adopted the consent calendar, authorized a Bay Area Regional Reliability Plan memorandum, approved replacement bank agreements for the Wastewater commercial-paper program, adopted amended interruptible water-service rules for the drought program, and authorized a 25-year lease extension to Mission Valley Rock Company; closed-session motions on privilege and recusal were also approved.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission recorded several formal actions at its June 23 meeting.
- Minutes: The Commission moved and seconded approval of the minutes of 06/09/2015; the Chair called for the vote and the motion carried ('Aye').
- Consent calendar: The Commission approved the consent calendar covering multiple contract awards, professional service agreements and final payment authorizations. The clerk read items 10A through 10L (contracts, professional services and a revocable license to Sunnyvale Unified School District). The consent calendar was approved on a single vote ('Aye'). Item 11 and item 13 were continued to the July 14 meeting at the Chair’s request.
- Item 12: Authorized a memorandum of agreement with Bay Area water agencies for up to $50,000 to develop a Bay Area Regional Reliability Plan; motion moved and approved ('Aye').
- Item 14: Approved replacement bank agreements for the Wastewater Enterprise $500 million commercial paper program with Bank of America and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi; staff said lower pricing is expected to save roughly $900,000 in the coming years; motion moved and approved ('Aye').
- Item 15: After public hearing and discussion, the Commission adopted amended rules for administering interruptible water service during the drought. Staff recommended retaining a 25% reduction level for interruptible accounts but increasing the excess-use charge; the Commission adopted the resolution as presented and the motion carried ('Aye').
- Item 16: Authorized a 25-year lease to Mission Valley Rock Company for approximately 199 acres of SFPUC parcels Nos. 62 and 65 in (location referenced as) Cinnell, California, for water use and aggregate management at an initial rent of $60,000 per year plus 4% annual increases; motion moved and approved ('Aye').
- Closed session and recusal: The Commission went into closed session on a list of litigation and claims. Upon return, items 19 and 20 were reported settled; the Commission voted not to disclose closed-session discussions and later voted to recuse Commissioner Courtney from items 19 and 20 due to a conflict. Meeting adjourned.
Where the record shows only an 'Aye' in response to the Chair's call, the minutes do not provide a roll-call tally; these outcomes are described here as recorded in the public proceeding.
