Thank you, Mr.

Clerk.

Let's start by calling item number one.

Agenda item number one is a resolution approving and authorizing a grant for a permanent easement on San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's property located at 1800 Gerald Avenue, consisting of an easement of approximately 2,944 square feet of land within SFPUC's Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant between the city and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for the purpose of replacing and relocating SFPUC's existing solids treatment facilities at its Southeast water pollution control plant with more reliable, efficient and modern technologies and facilities at no cost for a term effective upon approval of this resolution and recognition recordation of the agreement by the city's Office of the Assessor Recorder pursuant to Charter Section 9.118 and until PGE serve surrenders or abandons the easement area or the agreement is terminated.

Determining that the grant of the easement at no cost will serve a public U purpose by delivering an increased natural gas supply to SFPUC's existing Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant and its new Biosolids Digesters facilities.

In accordance with Administrative Code 23.30, adopting findings of consistency with the general plan and the A party policies of Planning Code Section 101.1 and directing the Director of Property to execute documents, make certain modifications, and take certain actions in furtherance of the resolution as defined within the resolution text.

Madam Chair.

Thank you so much, Mr.

Clerk.

We are joined uh today by uh Dina Brazil uh from the SFPUC who will make a presentation.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you, Supervisors.

Good afternoon.

The item before you today is a grant of easement to PG ⁇ E for a natural gas meter station that will serve the SFPUC exclusively.

The SFPUC is in construction on its Biosolids Digestors Facilities project, which replaces and relocates the existing solids treatment facilities at the Southeast plant.

The new biosolids facilities require an increased supply of natural gas, which requires a new connection.

The new connection needs a new gas meter station, which consists of above ground piping enclosed by a perimeter fence.

There is no public utility easement or any area within the public right-of-way where this meter station could be sighted.

So we agreed to locate it near the existing meter station that will be replaced through this process.

Because the Southeast plant is a secure facility, it's important that it be located somewhere with direct access from the street.

And because the facility will be on what is effectively private property and not within a public utility easement or right-of-way, PGE requires that it be granted an easement at no charge before construction can begin.

The proposed site of the PG ⁇ E meter station is adjacent to Gerald Avenue near the intersection with Quint Street, which you're able to see in the location map that I included in your materials.

PGE requires approximately 2,094 square feet for its meter station, as well as the right to excavate, construct, reconstruct, replace, remove, maintain, inspect, and use the meter station facilities.

We worked with the real estate team at the city attorney's office to negotiate the form of easement deed before you today, which is in its final form.

It will need to be fully executed and recorded prior to construction.

The city administrative code requires that we appraise the fair market value of any real property we seek to convey.

In this case, because the conveyance would be at no cost to PGE, the board must find that the easement furthers a proper public purpose sufficient to meet San Francisco Administrative Code Section 23.30, the market value requirements.

The facilities that will be installed under the easement deed are necessary for the operation of the city's Southeast Treatment Plant, and they will serve the SFPUC exclusively.

At this time, I'd be happy to take any questions you have about the item.

Thank you so much, Miss Brazil.
