THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS - MILLIONS OF DOLLARS - LINKED TO THE SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT ( SSIP) - IS SUSPECT - CAUSING DIVISIVENESS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER - FAVORING THE SAME THUGS THAT GET FUNDING - FUNDING THAT DOES NO ONE ANY GOOD.










There is only so much " utter nonsense" -
that we the tax payers can tolerate - and will tolerate
more, when it comes to "Community Benefits " -
benefits - doled out to entities - by crooks - that are NOT 
trusted by the Community at large - all over SF -
the authorities have been notified - nothing done so far -
kicking the can down the street - but NOT for long. 



San Francisco Public Utility Commission has long been known as a "very corrupt organization ".

The many blatant racist complaints, sexual harassment,  with Managers sleeping with staff members - and more.

SFPUC employees caught stealing all sorts of materials - in the thousands - one Manager even went to far to buy some BOSE speakers for his personal car - at SFPUC's expense.

It seems that one has to have an inherent ability to cheat, lie, hoodwink to be allowed in the inner circle - that continues today - more than ever before - dipping into millions of Community Benefits - meant for those that need help most - and doled openly with in your face attitude - to crooks and thugs.

We the people demand a audit - line item audit on all grants given to the same circle of people one of them that stands out Young Community Developers.

We the people demand an audit on all the so called Joint Ventures Contracts - that have direct input from crooks like Juliet Ellis and Dwayne Jones. Both have committed crimes -
both have had to pay fines - both have been reprimanded.

We the people demand all the millions going into Funds - much like the Political Action Committees' have - that go to Non-Profit who then dole out money to other Non-Profits - none of them have the best interest of the community at large.

We the people demand an audit on the many Project Labor Agreements - the millions spent in litigation - at the expense of the tax payers and community at large - in the many Courts, in Sacramento - having representative lie, cheat, cajole and think - those that intimate such ploys, machination, and ploys - will get away with murder.

We the people demand a line item inventory on all grants linked directly with the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) Community Benefits. It is here that grants are openly given to unworthy Non-Profit who is turn - give it to other Non-Profits - one worse than the other.

Millions of dollar that go into a fund that help the SF Sheriff's Department - we the people mandate an audit to reveal the wheeling and dealing - and who profits from these venture that is costing the tax payers - millions of dollars.

The SF Public Utilities Commission is involved with many 
Gardening Projects - where grants are given to Non-Profits who do a lousy job. This are not CAREER Jobs - these are jobs - where a lot of wheeling and deal is going on.

Local 261 members are kept at Bay - and when it come to payment and salaries - these jobs defeat employing decent human beings - receiving decent wages and what is important to note - benefits.

It is the same with the Sanitary Engineers - who work at the Treatment Plants - the Bayview, the Ocean Side, the SF Bay Street site, the Treasure Island plant that is a disgrace to the human race.

The Engineers work over time - are not respected - and what is important to note - treated with disdain. Time Harlan Kelly the General Manager wake up and do the right thing. He has his finger in every pie - much like Willie L. Brown - the former " thug Mayor " of San Francisco. All this and more will come to light. 

There is a God and too many people are suffering - while outsiders and crooks are making hay - while the sun shines.

We the people have a list of all those that get grants - most of these entities are NOT respected by the community at large.
We the people demand an audit - a golf tournament held to raise money for Rose Pak - the contracts and others paid into this tournament - that did not take place. When the entities that paid into the tournament - asked to have their money back - they were told to bid their time.

The San Francisco City Attorney, the District Attorney, the SF Controller, the State Attorney General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation - must all look into the above - the empirical data and documents available for review and quick adjudication.


We learned recently - two cement trucks were bought with tax payers money - at the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant - one is missing.  Some one just drove it out of the compound - and no one has traced it so far.

The other hidden in one of the buildings - everything in place  - brand new - except waiting for tires to be fitted - so that at the opportune time - this cement truck too - can get its wings and fly away.

There is sufficient material with SF Public Utilities Commission to make a movie. My friends when they hear of such stuff - cannot believe that such things happen in today's world - truth be told it does.

Both the Water System Improvement Project and the Sewer System Improvement Project - has " cheated " the tax payers - millions of dollars.

San Francisco tax payers were told that is was badly need to upgrade both the Clean Water and the Waste Water - way back in 2002. A ballot measure tied to a Bond Measure was initiate in 2002 and passed. 

The tax payers were hoodwinked and cheat - after the Bond Measure was passed - arbitrarily - the SF Public Utilities Commissioners - decided to address the Clean Water - that they name the Water System Improvement Project.

Without informing San Franciscans - the tax payers - the Waste Water initiative was left of wither on the vine. 

This would never ever have happened in a White controlled neighborhood - it does to this day in the Bayview Hunters Point - where the majority are not Black - but people of color Latinos, Asians, Native American - you get the picture.

The Black are in the minority - but the sell outs all happen to be Black - cheating, lying, dipping into the Community Benefits - leading the charge Dwayne Jones who lives in Oakland and is originally from Los Angles - Juliet Ellis who is not from San Francisco - a transplant from the East Coast wallowing in dark money.

Dipping into the Community Benefit linked to the Sewer System Improvement Project  (SSIP) - the woman must be charged, the case adjudicated and the evil person - sent to JAIL and kept there for a long, long - time.

A bond measure was passed - over $4.6 Billion -  San Francisco tax payers contributed  $2.4 Billion - the Regional partners - better known as the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BWSCA) - contributed $2.2 billion - plus.  

Even though a Proposition mandated the Waste Water be addressed in San Francisco - the SF Public Utilities Commission - side tracked the Waste Water - and the public was kept in the dark - as I have mentioned above.








Millions of gallons come from 1600 miles away -
the pristine water - damed at Hetch Hetchy -
daily millions of gallons in the year 2019 -
are used to flush our toilet -
so much for the vision that SFPUC management has -
and pathetic folks liked Juliet Ellis -
who has NO blue print to address this one singular fact -
Juliet Ellis has added this sordid tile - Chief Strategist -
only a moron would do this.








So called pristine drinking water is brought 
from 1600 miles to Crystal Springs - 
to San Francisco University Mound Reservoir -
Sunset Reservoir - in recent time -
contaminated ground water added - to 
tarnished the name of the once Hetch Hetchy -
pristine water - that now has more chloramine -
taste bad and adversely those that cannot tolerate -
chemicals - no one seems care - and this is disturbing.





The Clean Water was given a fancy name Water System Improvement Project (WSIP).

We are nearing the tail end of the Water System Improvement Project - with huge cost over runs - in the millions - more linked to Mountain Tunnel, Calaveras Dam, Irvington Tunnel  and more.

Few follow these project - I am one of the very few - who followed the WSIP throughly and now follow the Sewer System Improvement Project which started at $6 billion Bond Measure and now is deemed to cost over $12 Billion.

This is the result  of " very poor leadership " and cost over runs -  - nepotism  - corrupt of the worst kind - our tax payers money wasted in the millions.

In recent times we have seen some stellar SF Public Utilities Commission staff leave - Surjeet Singh - head of all the Project Managers.

Karen Kubick - project manager of the Sewer System Improvement project - a decent person who could not tolerate the on going corruption.

At the Phelps Sewage Treatment plant Mark Harris who now works for the Treatment Plant at Pacifica.

Tony Flores whose institutional memory will be missed and other too many to mention.

The present jerks at the SF Public Utilities Commission - have failed the tax payers - and in the future NO Bond Measures should be passed.

Affective as soon as possible those making in access to $200,000 with benefits - must be evaluated and most of these manager paying these huge salaries - their salaries must be curtailed - a reduction of 25% if not more.










These Digesters you see -
will be demolished - and 5 state of the art 
digesters will do the work of the former digesters -
this project started with a sum $1.3 Billion
and has now reached over $3.4 billion and growing.






This is the conceptual plan -
the old ten digester tanks will be demolished -
the six at the far left end will be built.
The project will require a lot of energy -
 a problem that SFPUC has not resolved.




The new plan needs more energy and - PG&E  does not want 
to provide the necessary energy need to operate the brand new digesters - to the SFPUC - for SFPUC to seek solutions - that do not come easy - with lack of vision and very poor management on the upper level - Juliet Ellis being one idiot that does not know nor comprehend engineering - concepts.

These brand new digester will treat the raw sewage - the end product secondary effluents - that can be pumped into the Bay - if at all.

The new operation needs added energy - and SF Public Utilities Commission plans to bring a high power transmission line to provide add energy - which requires all sorts of permits.

SFPUC  must adhere to new laws passed by the State of California - linked to any energy sources - keeping in mind the recent fires at Napa and Butte County.

Juliet Ellis is not an engineer - as the Assistant General Manager of External Affair - some of the information I am stating comes under her purview - she is lost - lost in her ignorance and arrogance.


Please take your time - if your are interested in this subject to read the following document - to comprehend more :

https://sfwater.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=10301


Way back in 2010 Task Force was formed to allow the community to give input - and once the Task Force finished its input - they were given a " Commendation" and dismissed - around 2012.

One of the salient and pertinent resolutions the Task Force was able to pass - was that the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) set aside 5% of the then $6 billion as Community Benefits.

We never saw Juliet Ellis nor Dwayne Jones at the Task Force meetings.

Nor -  did any of these two thugs  - come to the community to address the adverse impacts linked to the aging Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment Plant.

Today in the year 2019 the stench emitting from the Phelps Raw Sewage Treatment plant - adversely impacts a 3 mille area - more when the wind blows.

This singular does not faze Dwayne Jones who lives  in Oakland and Juliet Ellis who dreams of amassing wealth by cheating and hood winking.

Here is one document linked to Juliet Ellis that says it all - she should have been fired - yet, this evil woman makes over 
$250,000 with benefits :

http://www.fppc.ca.gov/content/dam/fppc/documents/Stipulations/2014/January/04%20Ellis%20-%20Stip%20and%20Exh.pdf









Dwayne Jones - Gate Keeper -
Businessman and Entrepreneur -
has access to millions to dole out to his cronies -
and cheat decent - hard working - San Francisco -
 tax payers of their hard earned money.




Dwayne Jones is the President of the Rudolf Dwayne Jones Enterprises LLC - a very corrupt individual - blacklist by the City and County of San Francisco - linked to a Contract that was given to a contractor - the contract taken away by Dwayne Jones and another individual - while Dwayne Jones was on the SF Housing Commission.

The contractor went to Court and won. The contractor was given his contract back. Dwayne Jones has not learned anything much - from the day when he was the Director at Young Community Developers to today - he continue to cheat, lie, and hoodwink.

Dwayne Jones used to work for Platinum Contractors and got into trouble with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

In 2012 we learned that millions were handled by Dwayne Jones - Community Benefits linked to the SSIP - and workforce. He being the Point Person for AECOM.

We also learned millions were handled by Juliet Ellis - linked to outreach.

Juliet Ellis has the title of Assistant General Manger for External Affairs (whatever that means) and has added a title to her name Chief Strategist ( whatever that means).

Juliet Ellis has created an inner circle with Julie L. Labonte, Kathryn How, Tracy Zhu, Yolanda Manzone.

David Gray ( who has since left SFPUC) - this inner circle make important decisions - meeting with the entities - including AECOM/Parsons to dole money - linked to Community Benefits.

We have obtained some internal documents - one a list of entities that keep getting Community Benefits.

None of them are known to the Community at large - as helping them in any meaningful way.

We will release the list of corrupt organizations - and many of them are not from the Bayview Hunters Point.

Others had nothing to do with the SSIP - when some of us fought on the frontlines - today these entities get money on a platter - decision made mainly by Juliet Ellis -  $30,000 to the SF Unified School District - that has failed our children more Black Children.

Young Community Developers (YCD) who have received millions - on an average $5 million a year - for the last 3 years.

Young Community Developers (YCD)  have done nothing much to help the community at large - in this case Bayview Hunters Point area. 

Their record when it comes to Career Jobs  - linked to the millions they have received - is minimal and an audit that is planned soon - will reveal the details - once and for all.

Right now we do not want to say too much.

We  can opt for an audit to be done by the San Francisco Controller's Office,

There are many agencies - State and Federal that can get involved  - the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This nonsense doling out money to individuals by Dwayne Jones and others - is not what is done by any  decent organization.

San Franciscans work hard - many two and three jobs - pay their utility bills - including clean water and sewage - the rates keep going up and the service is very poor - when it comes to providing quality clean drinking water.

We have over 1100 miles of Clean Drinking Water pipes - that are over 90 years old - less than 20% have been replaced and upgraded - this one fact is well known  - we need a hearing on this subject.

We have over 1000 miles of sewer pipes - here again - all are over 90 years old .

The raw sewage leaching into the soil. No one wants to reveal how many of these sewer pipes have been replaced - the money is there to be used - but the leadership and management is  nonexistent.

When it comes to tax payers money - more - when any entity receives Federal Funding - there must be Accountability and Transparency - the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission - seems to be devoid of any Accountability and Transparency - and seems to be in the business - of hoodwinking, cheating, lying, stealing - pathetic to the core.

At this time and juncture the crooks  trying to cover their tracks - the hoodwinking, cheating, wasting millions - we have the empirical data - complete with inside transactions and messages - that reveal how evil these minions who work for Juliet Ellis, Kathy How, Julie Labonte are - time will tell.

The hard working decent tax payers fund the Propositions passed - the Bond Measures approved - it is not for the corrupt and nefarious to waste millions of dollars.






Time to take this woman to task -
I want to know how someone can add
a title as Chief Strategist -
when all this woman does is hoodwink, cheat, lie,
and was charged and fined by the the 
Fair Political Practices Commission -
State of California.


It is worth reading this judgement by the Fair Political Practices Commission :

Out of the blues from 2011 - 2018  two very corrupt individuals - Juliet Ellis and Dwayne Jones - have been doling money - to entities that they favor.

It is more like a Mafia operation - only this time - rooted in San Francisco - with entities that are corrupt having a field day - but not for long.

We have posted one letter where Dwayne Jones states - he is in charge of SF Public Utilities Commission workers.

Reviews technical documents, works over time - all of which he is not capable of doing.

As far as I know - he is a seasoned  crook and liar -  has been charged by the authorities and will be this time in a big way.











An add that was printed in the 
Reporter and are also tapping into the
Community Benefits - linked to the 
Sewer System Improvement Project.
This add was contributed by Rudolf Dwayne Jones 
Enterprise LLC - such are the deed of these demons.





Here is the text of the above letter:

February 21, 2018

Daniel Hageman, Senior Project Engineer
Sundt/Walsh
2620 South 55th Street,
Tempa, AZ 85282

Dear Daniel:

The ramp up of most projects are an intense period. Contract #WWW-628 is no exception to this reality. This letter will provide context and explanation for hours submitted covering December 2016 through March 2017 needed to develop and initiate the compliance reporting systems for the project.

RDJ is a small local business enterprise (LBE) and as the sole owner of the company it requires that I self-perform much of the work and tasks assigned to the firm. This means that an average work day typically exceeds 12 hours per day. To meet the required deadlines and deliverables the following activities are necessary:


     *  Evening Citizen Advisory Meetings
     *  Meetings with SFPUC staff at times their schedules
         permits.
     *  Extensive review and analysis of SSIP data and 
         Project Schedules.
     *  Development of the Community Benefits workplaces

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at djones@rdjent.biz 

Thank you.


Dwayne Jones 
President


                                             Tel: 1.415.467.8404                                                                   
                                             Fax: 1.415.762.5455
                                                               
                                           1485 Bayshore Blvd. Suite 135

                                           San Francisco, CA 94124                                                          
                                                       
                                                             
                                                         
                                                     







Where is SF District Attorney -
on the on going rampant corruption -
that he is aware of - and has done nothing -
you may talk the talk -
time to walk the walk - the empirical data 
is there for all the world to see and adjudicate.
There is NO soul left in San Francisco -
more with these crooks, thugs, and vermin 
adversely impacting innocent citizens.





All the necessary empirical data has been provided to the San Francisco City Attorney - Dennis Herrera.

The SF District Attorney - George Gascon.

The SF City Administrator - Naomi Kelly

The SF Controller - Ben Rosenfield.


The above ploys, machinations, shenanigans are still going on - thousands are adversely impacted - and all the heavy lifting and more has been done - to make it easy for the adjudication to take place.

Millions of dollar wasted - we have internal documents and communications - that have been reviewed by Law Enforcement.

Why are we tolerating such abject corruption in San Francisco. 

In the mean time our infants, our children, our youth, our young adult, our Elder, those with compromised health - more, our Mentally and Physically challenged are put in harms way.

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has crossed the line - and the time to act has long passed - the people united can bring justice to the fore - if those that must do their job - are dragging their legs and think that we will go away.

The time to ACT is NOW.
