first economic recovery. we hosted the contract open house at the pier 27 cruise terminal. small contractors and business to learn about technical support and resources from the office of small business, the u.s. small business administration, marry weathers and williams and technical service providers to partner with city and county of san francisco. the port of san francisco is aggressively committed to the principals of the local business enterprise ordinance. when possible, the port creates opportunities and incentives for local businesses to access and compete for port contracts. we do this through awarded micro set aside contracts, lowering minimum qualification projects and hosting small businesses can network with larger businesses and bid on work. we look forward making sure the small local micro business and

contractors partner going forward. the port is partnering with local community based organizations like food wise to continue investing in supporting small businesses through pop ups on the plaza, series of events celebrating bay area black entrepreneurs including businesses and food wise building equity program. march 30, the port supported the second pop up on the plaza of the year, which celebrated black women makers for women history month. the port table at the event celebrated bay area black women makers with food, crafts and community at the embarcadero ferry terminal and ferry plaza farmer market. entry was and will continue to be free and open to the public with food and drinks available for purchase. this program is pride for the port as we strive to deliver equity and economic recovery goals. another great event on the waterfront was playing host to usns harvey

milk. pier 3332 welcomes nancy pelosi, london breed, richard w my er and croninburg, stuart milk and the crew of the usns harvey milk. one of the best things working for the port is the opportunity to see vessels of all kinds come to birth in the backdrop of the city in the bay. very few have the emotional connection to san francisco that the usns harvey milk does. the vessel celebrates the legacy of harvey milk and recalled he worked tirelessly to combat discrimination and hatred directed to gay men and women. let us find ins separation in harvey milk life of equality and authenticity for everyone everywhere. turning to the fisherman wharf area for recoverry activation and equity update, funding from the port, cbd is working with muralist joey rose to development a mural snauped last week on

the blank wall next to 490 jefferson street. rose mural adorn [indiscernible] the larger then life 25 by 8 foot mural depicts a crabber in san francisco paying tribute to those in livelihood at risk to protect the health of our ocean and marine life. the creation created carried challenges of its own with rose ponting the piece in sections within a studio throughout the rainy season before installing the panels at fisherman's wharf for the first time. every element is site specific from the crabber tattoo to placement inliferbing the legendary waterfront. the port is pleased to partner with the community. moving to commercial doneness

crab season ended april 8 which cut short for central and southern coast of california. fish and wildlife ordered the early closure of the season due to increase presence of whales off the coast of california. it is a positive sign to see a thriving whale population, the delayed start to the season fallowed by early closure disrupts the business cycle for commercial fishers and processors. port staff will continue to monitor industry and see if there are ways to support them as we hopefully move to the next and more successful season. reports were crabbers big and plentiful during the shortened season. next up is commercial salmon season may through october and look forward to a promising season. big news for maritime in the southern waterfront. as reported the cruise ship grand princess will arrive april 27.

been working around the clock to manage cargo at pier 80 making birth and shore-side improvement to the [indiscernible] disembark and embark approximately 5 thousand guests. port staff briefed the port southern advisey committee on the plan frz the call and formal notification sent to adjacent tenants shortly. one more item for maritime, on march 21, the second request for offering for dry dock 2 closed. there were no responses. however, subsequent to the closing of the rfo, staff received interest for purchase of both dry talk 2 and eureka. staff is working with city attorney office to identify appropriate action for sole source opportunity to sell the surplus dry docks to owners who refurbish and reuse them and we'll report back. also in the southern waterfront and in time for urkt month, new heron head park bird educational component will be

up soon. the hundred birds of heron site will soon be available to community at heron park via qr code sticker on the new signage. you will be rich resource for anyone interested in the bird migration that takes place every year. let me be-wish you all a happy earth month. resilience and equity. the draft plan public comment period closed march 29. over 150 comments were submitted to the u.s. army corp engineers and help us work with the army corp to refine the draft plan and make sure it is right for the future of san francisco. port staff engaged nearly a thousand people through community events walking tours cbo meetings webinars in language workshops and media promotion. the outreach span the portfolio from the southern waterfront to the northern waterfront and adjacent

neighborhoods. port staff also presented the draft plan 10 board and commission hearings including presentation to land use and preservation committee. hard at work in-class sessions on climate adaptation. they presented to john o'connell and mission high student. the sf fellows developed classroom presentations and resources to educate high school students about the growing demand for the type of work needed for climate adaptation. the work lays a strong foundation for future outreach efforts in guiding youth towards careers in this important field. that concludes my report. thank you commissioners for your steadfast leadership of our strategic priorities. >> thank you mike for your report. now we'll take public comment on the executive director's report. does anyone in the room like to make comment, please make your way to the

podium. i dont see any public comment in the room, so i'm turning to carmel. any public comment on the line? >> there are no callers for public comment at this time. >> public comment is closed. commissioner harrington. >> thank you madam vice president. again, thanks for the rorlt. report. a lot of interesting fun things going on here. the mural i have to get down to see it . i haven't seen it yet. on the crab season, i thought i read there was a move to get federal or state support emergency declaration. it may have-i thought it was crab season. if there is something we could be helpful at in trying to figure out something with that, i appreciate hearing about that. that would be great. the army corp engineers report, it is great you are using that as a catalyst to bring the discussion about career paths to high school students and all that. i saw in the paper there was one of the comments we received from the

folks from this building and i thought it was-it seemed it came across complaining opposed to protecting interest which i felt no problem at all. if i was them i would do the same thing saying you have to take into consideration our needs too and assuming we are. i think that was just part of the way we do things here and think it is fine. and that's it for me i think. thank you. >> okay, commission er lee. >> great report. i just have a few questions. when crab season is cut short, it started late, cut short, now salmon season doesn't start till may, what is usually the fisherman do? do they sell more product if they travel further to get crab and bring it here? what do they actually do during the time? i wonder what we can do to help them. >> i will invite assistant

deputy director of maritime to share thoughts based on his awareness. >> good afternoon commissioners. port staff. typically between the seasons commissioner, they are winding down from crab getting all the gear set back into storage and ramping up for salmon so getting the boats outfitting depending whether they do both. some fisherman dont do both and just do crab and some just salmon. >> so basically it is lost income during a time when it is short? >> preparation for the season. >> okay. what's-curious about the pier 45 proposal that's supposed to be coming forward. is there any news on that? maybe that will drum up activity. just curious. >> we are definitely going to be bringing that group out to

fisherman wharf advisory committee as they have been refining their plan. they engaged with the fishers and other environmental advocacy organizations to see what their project could do to elevate the fisher industry and tie with coast-wide efforts to improve the season et cetera. i also note we are actually planning to do a lot of activation up at fisherman wharf beyond lat last year and you should see those on the ground changes probably in june. we will bring that to the fisherman wharf advisory committee as well but focused on little embarcadero area and try to reduce traffic and make it more inviting for families. we are hopeful the long-term showing that move in the near term can inform the development project what public space they should put on the waterfront rchlt you as the commission are likely hear from the fisherman wharf

revitalization team in the summer. >> feel bad for the fisherman. they get the short end of the deal. whatever we can do to help them. pier 80, how are the people disembarking coming to central waterfront or north beach, chinatown? are there shuttles because 10 days--10 hours. sorry. hearing. 10 hours. >> this will be a vessel coming in discharging all the passengers who know home and take on a full new load. >> okay, so it is basically that. >> pier 80 is suited for that,

closer to the airport, lot of space for parking but we have to balance that, but it is a learning experience. this was necessitated because of the schedule. is that a place to expand so this will be a good test run and [indiscernible] how it works with the lines. >> i think it makes sense if 10 hours and close to the airport and free way is there. i was concerned if they were staying for a while how do they get spend money in the city. >> i say we welcome them to patronize the businesses near pier 80 as well, but yes there is something to be said how we make the connection and help the city economy from the passengers too. >> the great thing, my closing is the youth getting them involved with port. right now it is hard to engage the youth to get involved with anything these days so i'm glad there is a system for that and outreach so

good news. that's it. thank you. >> commissioner adams. >> excellent report mike. glad to hear director forbes is on the mend and coming back and done a excellent job and staff in her place. i just wanted to also say, this is great that you are going to have a ship at pier 27 and pier 80. this is good for the city and need that kind of vibe. i think that is important and i think san francisco has a opportunity to-i always felt there was [indiscernible] coming through the port of san francisco. as seattle, vancouver and alaska. i know we'll continue to up our game. i want to say, i want to send a special out to tiffany, you guys killed it at the open house. it was awesome. glad i was able to participate in that and got to talk to some of the local people from the community that

was out. some good speakers and i learned a few things and i think this is good and i think that once again, the port is leading from the front, so i really enjoyed myself and i'll have a couple more comments when we get to talking about cal maritime. thanks. >> thank you commissioners. mike, thank you for a great report and again, i think we echo we are excited director forbes is on the fend mend and joining for the april 30 meeting hopefully. thank you for the report. i wasn't able to go but friends did to the black maker pop up. it is great program. got great social media so thank the pr team bolstering and food wise as a way to highlight folks who traditionally are small makers and local and cant at this point have permanent

ceaunge or places at the ferry building so it is great we promote and thank port staff and echo fellow commissioners comments. everything we are doing from protecting the earth for sea level rise to engaging young people is wonderful so thank you for your report. next item please. >> item 7, consent calendar. for callers who wish to comment on the consent calendar, dial * 3 to raise your hand to comment. 7a, request authorization to advertise for competitive bids for construction contract number 2852, amdoor street infrastructure improvements. this is resolution 24-17. >> commissioners do i have a motion ? >> second. >> we have a motion and a second. is there any public comment on the consent agenda? i dont see any. do we have any public comment on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> okay, we have no publux

(resolutions 24-18, 24-19 and 24-20) for callers who wish to comment dial * 3 to raise your hand to comment. >> good afternoon vice president gilman, commissioners. my name is [indiscernible] the contract procurement manager for port of san francisco. i'm here today to ask for authorization related to three grants related

to management of the rising tides internship program. delighted to be here to discuss the program in light of input and equity report on may 12 meeting. the grant discussing today bring necessary infrastructure to build and strengthen pipe lines to real port and maritime jobs. the grantess are service at the port in-house internship programs run by port staff. the grants support the creation of the rising tides program which is a port staff run program with two focuses u maritime and operations. discuss these programs individually but in short, the rising tides maritime program is a 6 week summer program for high school students focusing on mar time careers and this includes the one week stay at cal maritime. the rising tides operation is a year long youth employment internship for transitional age youth 16-24 to bring in the inhouse program focusing

on gardening and labor program with the possibility of expanding in the future. the port motivation to bring inhouse is to create our programs community can depend on. we want to create stronger relationships with high school principals counselors teachers and community stakeholders because they having infrastructure means they can rely on the amazing internship opportunities year after year. they can do year round recrument, we can do year round recruitment as well. it is vital we know beginning of the school year if these internships will happen. these grants will allow thes programs to become more of us. the request today is three grants of $300 thousand each for total of $900 thousand in the following way:rising tides maritime program, one is sole source grant to california state university maritime academy to host

rising tides investment interns for a week long summer stay at campus and second, for the one grant to enterprise for youth basically to allow to pay the interns for the 6 week program and rising tides operation requires one grant also to enterprise for youth and again, mostly to allow us to pay interns. internship programs are deeply seated in strategic plan, our racial equity action plan and waterfront plan to create diverse equitable paid internship opportunities to create a pipeline to careers with vision of shared economic prosperity. the local communities impacted by waterfront development share in economic prosperity and opportunities. we recognize these internships do not address the shared concern we have about the apprenticeship opportunities in the trades. that is still a goal we have and conversation we look forward to

continuing. so, first we'll talk about the two cal maritime-rising tides maritime grants. program is a 6 week summer program that focus on maritime internships. all participants are paid through participation and highlight is the week long stay at cal maritime. the grant number one is cal maritime. grant to host and pay for interns and grant number two is enterprise for youth to pay rising tides interns. grant 1, cal maritime. who is cal mar time? cal maritime is the only degree granting agency maritime academy in the west coast and part of the california state system. they host a week long summer program. many week long summer programs throughout the summer and the port sends interns to one of these.

in the vallejo campus to expose high school students to mar time careers and the university. what this grant will do will allow us to institutionalize the program at the port to allow for year round recruitment, create stronger partnerships with high schools and stakeholder groups and enhances our 6 week long maritime program. in summary, this slide summarizes the terms and scope of the grant for two cal maritime. the total value is $300 thousand. approximately $30 thousand a year for 10 summers of programming. the total length is 7.5 years with option to extend to 12-31-2033. i realize the term is a little unusual. the reason for the odd grant length is we are now starting kind of in the middle of the internship season so to speak, kwre woo wanted to make sure the

grant lasted, didn't expire in the middle before another season of internship so we wanted to make sure 6 months we were able to get to the other side of the program so it didn't expire in the middle of the summer internship, but we also were not sure when we are going to be able to get into the grant so we wanted to make sure it expired again at the end that 10th summer. the unusual length is just for us to make sure the expiration does not expire in the middle of the summer and we are able to get through a summer season with the grant. the scope of services is they work with us to arrange for our port interns to attended a summer session and us to pay tuition for the students. cover the expenses associated with housing, with food, with equipment and pool usage. course and personnel including instructors and extra life guards.

certificates and course delivery for students and chaperons. appropriately, the city administrative code allows departments to enter sole source grants with other public entities, so we are using that authority to select and award this grant to cal maritime. grant number 2 for rising tides maritime. we'll review the second grant. again, enterprise for youth is really so they can become employer of record for the rising tide maritime interns. again, this is 6 week program that sponsored internally. this is how we pay our youth. the program is open to 12 san francisco unified school district high school students with priority to economically disadvantage students and it

include the one week maritime summer session. we piloted this in 2023 with great success and this is our opportunity to institutionalize the program and keep it going. in terms of outreach and recruitment of interns, port staff will work with san francisco high schools leadership and community based organizations to recruit youth. our staff attend high school and community based career fairs to recruit youth and we do the application process, we do the selection process internally mostly lead by amazing tiffany taten and priority given to economically disadvantage youth. the slide summarizes what rising tides maritime grant to enterprise youth will do. the total value is $300 thousand. the total lelth is 2 years.

the initial scope is intake and pay roll services for interns and we are committed to offering paid internships and the city can't provide internally. handle employment administration, pay roll and related service and in future years the grant language does allow us to have them offer trainings and assist with recruitment at the port request. second internship program is rising tide operation. we are asking for the authorization for one grant to enterprise for youth to pay the interns. the rising tides operation is revisioning of a program the port run through contracts. our youth employment gardening and labor program. after the port canceled rdj enterprise contract we were left with two

questions we felt very deeply responsible for. one is the immediately lost paid income through no fault of their own, and second, how to continue that work and could we build stronger pipelines internally for our own staff and interns that are working on port property into port work. could we do it inhouse? and we determined we could do both under the new program. we intend to keep the same or similar selection criteria for at risk youth and transitional age youth 16-24. they will be supervised by port staff getting gardeners and labors the opportunity to build leadership. this is a new internal program we call rising tide operations. we will continue to focus on gardeners and laborers but have the flexibility to make connections to other trade pathways. regarding outreach and recruitment, the port has been in contact with youth who lost their position when we had

to cancel the rdj contract and they are eager and excited to come back to theport. the first cohort will be hired under the grant will be those youth. in future years the port develop a plan partner with schools and community based organizations and rel vents city des departments to further recruitment. the grant structure is the same as other grant. it is total $300 thousand for two years and focused on employment administration, pay roll service related service to rising tides operation with option building additional service such as training and recruitment in years to come. the selection process for the two grants is based on what we sometimes call piggy back language with economic and workforce development rfp. the port is able to use the evaluation and ranking of non profit

organizations to award separate agreements. the port issued request for interest and subsequent request for information to the parties and awarded to the sole respondent, enterprise for youth. in summary, the staff recommendation is award three grants for total aggregate of $900 thousand. one to cal maritime $300 thousand, for length of 7.5 years with option to extend to december 31, 2033. the service of arranging and accepting summer session fees for rising tides maritime interns. two, to enterprise for youth for grants one for $300 thousand for two years to support employment administration pay roll and related service for rising tides maritime internship program and $300 thousand for two years to support the employment administration pay roll related services for rising tides

operation internship program. after today request to award we intend to enter grants in the coming weeks to one, reserve our spot with cal maritime and two, allow the enterprise for youth to start setting up systems for the two internship programs. the rising tides maritime interns start in june, we are still recruiting and the rising tides operations interns will come on as soon as the infrastructure is ready for them. this concludes my presentation and i look forward to discussion. i am here to answer questions and also to [indiscernible] who is in charge of this program and internship program is also available for questions. >> thank you for the report. commissioners, dpoo we have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> sorry, my gosh. >> public comment. >> sorry about that. any public comment in the room about this amazing program?

i don't see anyone. carmel, any public comment on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> thank you. now commission discussion. commissioner adams. commissioner harrington. >> thank you very much. so, i think this is great. i like these three grants. i'm happy to support them. a couple questions. on the operating interns, i don't think i heard how many are involved in that program? >> 9 in the program >> 9? thanks. on the cal maritime, i think it is a great organization. we used to have a fund razor for the same program at the southeast wastewater treatment plant i used to go and they were interesting wonderful people. 7 and a half years seems odd to a grant for that period of tame. i get the half year part, but why the 7? why that long or why not 10 or 5? >> i don't see the program changing, so if we want to do this and not

have interruptions we are trying to go for max mam length of time. when you start a program like this and young people expect it and have a interruption because we have to go through a separate contracting process, everybody-- >> it basically is convenience? >> yes. >> and planning? the other thing, there was a article in the chronicle that talked about the toxic culture specifically for queer and female people going into cal maritime academy, can you talk about that a bit and make sure our folks are feeling safe and supported there? >> well, i think in order to change culture, sometimes you have to interrogate those spaces and so, the way we make them feel safe is by making sure we have chaperons who are strong. i chaperon ed last year and would never let anything happen to those students.

also, during the summer there are no students there, it is really just the young people and instructors, so i don't expect for there to be any feelings of unsafeness, but i think and i was thinking about this earlier, if you were to go to a construction job site and ask a woman if she feels safe, we may get the same response. that cant stop us doing the work, we just have to make sure we set up safeguards to do it safely. >> good to hear. thank you. >> i like to add, we run the article and discussed it and our intention is that after this grapt is in place to reach out to leadership we have shared goals diversifying the workforce and solving the employment pipeline question, and we will report back on that. >> thanks. >> commissioner lee. >> i'm supporting anything that involves youth.

12 positions with all the schools we have in san francisco, how many applicants do you actually get to apply for this? i'm curious. >> last year was like pulling teeth to get 7. the young people are like what is maritime, i dont want to do that. i want to do tech. i want to do something else that sounds more familiar and comfortable. it is not easy even to get the 12. i would be pleased to get the same number we got last year, but i think the more familiar that the students and the schools become with promoting it, then we will look to expand. the reason we only have 12, for every 3 students you have to have a volunteer chaperon. >> do you plan to do a little pr movement to try to get them more-port is fun. >> that is why we do school

year, because you center to get into the classroom and go into their spaces. it isn't enough to like go on instrugram or put out a flier. you have to be with them and they have to be familiar and comfortable with you. young people are very suspicious people, they dont trust anybody y. have a 16 year old. it is just who they are. they want to stay in their bubble and so until you start building relationships with them, they are not going to want to do anything with you and they have so many other opportunities that allow them to stay in their safe space. they can have internship to go to summer school. why would you leave your school grounds if you can get paid to go there, so it becomes about building relationships and that has to start at the beginning of the school year, because you got to get the teachers to let you in the classroom too. it isn't just building relationships with the student but teachers and administration as well. >> i think maybe part of the

new business of communication director to think of a point person to visit the schools, to get more involved with port, like you say, they don't know what it is, they rather go to tech is and that is why in general labor out there in restaurants and stuff, nobody wants to be a restaurant worker anymore. this kind of outreach is very good. i commend this and support it. thank you. >> thank you commissioner lee. commissioner adams, please. >> yeah. for me, i was at the open house at the cruise terminal and vocal how i felt about a issue, and it had to do the bar pilots and a couple people were defending nepotism and discrimination and making excuses and so one thing i will say about this is that, cal maritime and i'm glad ed

brought up what he did because it is predominantly all white. i always hear jack talk about it. a lot of times young kids haven't had exposure. the only place for young people of color i women and poor people to go is in oregon founded in the 1960's by lenden johnson through job corp 18-24 and you go to astoreia oregon it is predominantly all white and they get all these kids from different trades and the u.s. government put you up in a dorm tore for 18 months, they give you a stipend and train for all the skills and then they place you into the workforce when you get out and try to give you equal playing field and i think this is a start.

even here in the city, and i know when i was president i wish the port sometime would have our meetings in the community. i really do. we are always here in the ivory tower and think we need to get in the community where the people are, because i hear a lot of people in the city sometimes feel like people lost touch to where the real people are at because we come here and there is a lot of people in the city who doesn't know there is a port of san francisco. they haven't had exposure. just like you take a guy like jack blare, he travels all over. a lot of kids haven't had that exposure and they could be just as good as jack but they dont have it and i think that because we have been isolating ourselves here. i'm happy that just that we are having a cruise ship at pier 80, so maybe people from the southern waterfront can

go there is a cruise ship in our neighborhood, so anyway, i think this is a good thing, but it needs exposure and i'm going to support this, but going to be watching because i still think that the organizations like the bar pilots that allowed nepotism, discrimination and it is more like a family. i will say this myself, being a president of iouu. i complement future. it used to be like family and had to open it up to everybody. when we talk about things like that, if we are saying we are true san francisco we open everything to everybody and give the young people that exposure and they should feel comfortable coming down to this port, going out on the police boat, traveling around to see this port. this is a beautiful port here and it is nothing like seeing it from the

water side in. you don't see it when you walk up and down here. it doesn't do the port justice. the magnificent project the giants--i bet a lot of people in the city don't know that is over there because they haven't had exposure. i think we are doing a good job, i'll support it, but i think it is more and think we can do a better job, maybe have commission meetings in the city and give back to ground zero and get more a bottom up way to do things. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. elizabeth, tiffany, thank you so much. i don't have much more to add. i only had two suggestions on outreach. you said 7 individuals participated last year. >> yeah. >> are you going to ask them to be ambassadors and elevators and have them come to the classroom to talk to their peers? >> they are without me asking. i get a lot of text messages

from young student i dont know and i'm like, how did you get my phone number. they are like, so and so gave it to me. i visited them a couple weeks ago and brought them lunch and told them to bring a friend and so, we are doing it in small ways and they are doing it on their own. they were all very skeptical coming into the program, but by the end they had a good time and learned so much and the presentation they gave support leadership about creative uses for the pier 68 ship yard was excellent and they were very proud of it. >> thank you. i think that would be a great idea and maybe there is a way we can maybe talk about it as a new business item, but any way to possibly arrange for folks interested to do that water side tour. i'm doing it again. i am in my 6 year now going back out, is this such a phenomenal way as someone who does it before to

see what it is really going on. there might be a way to motivate folks to join the program and maybe have a peer lead by the folks who went through it and i also hope that you'll bring our equity inclusion plan with you when you meet with the administration of the maritime academy to make it clear that they might think they are the only game in town, i'm sure we could find-i dont know enough about it, but if they can hear equity inclusion and make sure our staff and young people feel safe that we'll have a concern with it. >> absolutely. >> thank you again. >> thank you. >> we concluded comment commissioners. we have a motion and second. we have resolutions on the tableism can we call for a vote, please? all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. resolution 24-18, 24-19 and 24-20 passed. thank you so much. next item, please.

>> item 9a, informational presentation regarding the leasing status at mission rock parcel a and staff acceptance of a revised phase 1 submittal; and possible action to approve a resolution authorizing amendments to the parcel f vdda, lease, and other ancillary documents to conform with revised phase 1 submittal for the mission rock project at seawall lot 337, bounded by china basin channel, third street, mission rock street and san francisco bay. (resolution 24-21) who wish to make public comment, dial * 3 to comment. >> thank you jenica. good afternoon commissioners, vice president gilman, josh keen assistant deputy director of development here again to talk about the mission rock. we give a preview at the end of last year there is a series of mission rock events this year at port commission. we were here last month to give a update on the status where we are moving towards on the phase one acceptance and all the land rights associated with it. this is a long time in the

making at request from vice president gilman last year to get a update on the status of leasing at the canyon, which is otherwise known as building a. that is going to be the driver for this, but also leads into a staff recommendation associated with going forward on parcel f, the next level of the building coming online very soon. quick agenda, i'll do a brief backgrown because there isn't much from a status to update. we want to hit highlights something new is happening every week, but overall deep level ones about lbe and budget we'll keep brief. we made a commitment to let you know the status. item 2 will be the first informational item which is just to let you know the status of leasing on the various [indiscernible] and how it ties into staff recommended phase one modification as it pertains to

parcel f. very quick overview, phase 1 construction completion which is moving fully along to the point we expect all the horizontal improvements accepted later this year. all four buildings have tco, the first three already have them. we are shooting for building f to have as soon as this may, so talking a month from now which is impressive. got information up there. happy to go over anything about the 537 rental units. the sizable amount of office and retail and including district energy system and water treatment plants. as mentioned, the hor zantal improvements. i want to give quick update that the visa building building g before we are back next time that should be occupied by visa so weeks ahead which is super exciting moment. the building f the rental will be hopefully next month also.

i'm not sure if it is on here--it is not quite yet but before i move into that, i want to-you may have seen the press in support of the giants opening day here on friday, we opened china basin park for the first time. that will be operating under the master lease. great press this weekend for the chronicle and others. that will be moving continuing throughout and once the acceptance happens the park lease kicks in there too. super excited about that. so, the quick project updates, no change in the lbe. we continue to increase tracking towards our goal of 20% and that information detailed in the staff report. phase 1 budget approved in october is on track with appropriate amount of contingency to get us there this year. and same thing with the city cost, continuing to monitor. the city cost, which is port cost, city

cost and consultant costs are still tracking appropriately. before we get into parcel a, which we are here for, i want to touch where we are with leasing of the property. the retail we have seen a lot of press, huge success with five food and beverage leases executed. those leases including the design and negotiations on the build-out are happening in ernest. there is fitness lease executed and in addition to the 5 under negotiation, tons of others for all the spaces are in play here. as mentioned, visa will be moving in imminently which is huge success, and parcel b, which is there is a lot of interest in the building but still predominantly vacant, but starting to see uptick in the overall market so keeping positive there. before we kick into little about this, i want to high level discussion on the relevant documents so when i

throw the acronyms out there you know what i'm referring to. the first which is dda, disposition and development agreement, also has a housing plan. this governs the project itself, including the phases. phase 1-4, plus overall project. these are commitments from the developer on phase basis and project basis. then within there is also individual parcel leases for each of the buildings, so once they come out of the master lease, they are going to be able to leased directly from the port to the virtical developers. each will have their own vertical disposition development agreements that are parcel specific, but those are fed and informed by the dda itself. putting all the names out there, the very meticulous documents no one is opening up remanding those in a material way. i wanted you to know these are the

governing documents we work from. the exhibit under the dda is the housing plan which specify the overall commitments by the developer with respect acrauz the project and by phase with respect to minimum affordsability level and prescribe what the ami levels are and that is a acronym you will hear which is area median income and that is the affordsability levels. i want to give from a definitional perspective, i will use the word bmr which means below market rate units. the difference between-you will hear inclusionary and hear the word affordable and what is the difference. generally speaking, what we are talking about here, bmr is either or. inclusionary is part of market rate. i will refer to bmr for building a and f those are inclusionary units

so you can use those interchangeably. the first above is just a profile of the actual what was in building a. that is the canyon we are talking about, which the tco and pricing letter and occupancy started in june of last year. continues in ernest. a lot of numbers in here and on the staff report i'll try to highlight where things are, so the first table is overview of the units and on the right side you'll see there is a total 36 percent bmr and 64 percent market rate so 2/3 for 1/3 split leading toward the bmr side. that is the building we are talking about here that are split. to be clear, the market rate unit, the lease up process is related to the bmr lease up process because it helps inform pricing but a very distinct tract and application process

is very different so we present the information differently. there is footnote at the bottom and not doing total detail but success of market rate unit leasing pace is 70 percent which is great considering the quality of the building, the challenges and overall rental market. the real success from that side. you will-we will go into detail on the bmr units here at the canyon. numbers jump out really quickly. one which is we only had 10 units that are in the 90 percent area median income level, but those went immediately. those are hundred percent leased out which is a very basic indicator of demand just to see how quickly the pacing is. you start to see it is not really a linear relationship but you continue to see that there is more challenges with

higher ami. all most 28 percent for 128 percent ami, we are just under 8 percent for 150 percent ami levels. commissioner harrington i will get to a question you raise what does that mean. 120 and 150 percent mean when we are talking dollars out of pocket in a moment. so, i will pivot and this is a little interconnected discussion about what we learn from a and what is informing staff recommendation for f. i will say afterwards, this is all done in coordination and prescribed by the documents requested by the developer through part staff approval in direct consultation with the mayor office of housing and community development. they are advocate of the same process we have been going through to get here today and same lessens. so, as a summary note, i put it is after 10 months of leasing parcel a, 90 percent ami units are 28 and 8.

that is the footnote going into parcel f. before i-the profile below is what is proposed or exist at parcel f. before i move to this slide on the recommendation of how we change plan to change this and staying in conformance with the housing plan, i want to talk about where challenges come into play with the higher ami units. as a example, the rates at which the projects ami units are set are based upon ami. working with mayor office of housing they determine a apartment in mission rock apartment supposed to be. there is a formula that applies. this is maximum amount of rent you can charge for this bmr restricted unit. once the markets unit the rate is set, it doesn't mean they lease at the market rate they can go higher

but the determination--there is a formula for what is the most the developer could charge for any of these units. when we do the exercise, 90 percent ami which went really quickly, a studio is about $2100 is maximum, up to $2700 for two bedroom. you can see why that is pretty appealing leasing scenario, even in a challenging leasing market now. by comparison points, 120 percent the range is about $2800 for studio up to $3600. and then when you get to 150 percent ami, the studios are $3500 to $4500. what is more disparaging is that those scales actually are not that different between a studio and two bedroom, but where it starts to change comparing a studio that is 90 percent ami

versus 150 percent. while a studio, 90 percent studio is $2100 and 90 percent 2 bedroom is $2700, 90 percent studio is $2100 and 150 percent ami studio is $3500. that is where you get the jump and it isn't these units are not great and that the time process it takes to occupy a unit when the rents are so high from that level, when you have a challenging market people have options and it is very difficult to land those. those are order of magnitude what we are talking about. surprisingly, the higher ami levels don't-i was saying it doesn't jump much from a studio to 1 bedroom to 2 to 3 bedroom, the ami levels are more favorable comparatively once you get to a higher unit. a studio or 1 bedroom it is super challenging. happy to talk more about that later too. i want to lead into why we

previously were working towards a 62 percent market rate building f, 38 percent bmr, we are proposing the following and the number one reason for this is to [indiscernible] we need to get these units leased up and need to get residents into these homes. this is through the support of mayor office of housing. what we are doing is proposing to decrease or increase the number of 90 percent ami units from 13 to 35 decreasing the number of 120 percent unit to 55 to 24 and eliminate the 150 percent ami units. they are not working really right now at this time, but there will be those units available at parcel a. this is still a community so we feel this is the right supply and demand to have there.

while it drops, you see the note the total bmr for the building drops to 23.2 percent. i want to show how this rolls into a entire phase. the column on the far right is parcel a, which is what exists today. that still stays at 36 percent. parcel f goes down to 23 percent and the total phase is 30 percent. why that is important is each phase which in this case there is two residential buildsings in phase 1, which is parcel a and parcel f, the overall project requires 40 percent, the phase itself has at least 30 percent so still in compliance with the housing plan. what we want to show here, because this is the key, we are not amending documents, we are amended technical documents but not amending the dda in that way. we are changing the affordability. i want to show a example of

looking at the highlighted in gray, this is how true multiphase projethwe can still get to 40 percent and this is a current plan that very viable we are thinking of, which is a and f account for 30 percent of the units and cumulative basis in phase 2, the current plan likely plan but it is in coordination with mayor office of housing is to do a 100 percent affordable development there from financial sides and to get appropriate units counts. that push the entire project level way up over the 40 percent amount and then leave for the remaining phases we need 33.7 percent through mixture of parcel d1 and parcel k. that gives the 40 percent. there is a very prescriptive pathway. i want to caveat, this is a possible way to get there, because there are some parcels in the future phases that can be residential so the unit

count can go up so there may be more or different opportunities. we fully expect in phase 2 approval and future phase 1 submittals, these will be prenegotiated before we come back to you on those. associated with this, we are not amending the dda, there is associated actions to basically correct the parcel f designation because we interred into the-executed the dda for parcel f and executed the partal lease for that. it does require an amendment to the parcel lease to basically reexplain those unit counts. it also requires coordination with mayor office of housing to rerestrict the parcel lease to insure that compliance you need the right number of these units of bmr units and then that is tied to number 3, updating a table in the parcel f dda.

i want to distinguish between the vdda and are dda. that is technical aspect of what the resolution itself is. we are asking for info with approval today. main reason being, time is of the essence in the sense tco is imminent and need to issue a pricing letter and there is a relationship that happens and like to get people in parcel f as soon as it happens. i will be here for questions. we have the development team as necessary. jenica, do we have dan adams oen the line? >> yes, he's on the line. >> okay, great. i want to introduce dan adams, the director of the mayor office of housing and community development. just wanted to make sure everyone knew we have been working together all parties involved and he wanted to say a few things. >> thanks josh and great to be

with you commissioners and appreciate your accommodating remote participation. we have been working with port staff as well developers on this proposed revision that would modify parcel f. we support it for the reason josh went into. coming out of the pandemic we are a soft market so the higher ami units are quite close to market. difficult to lease up. as aaffordable housing practitioner and advocate it gives me no satisfaction to produce affordable units and have sit empty. more units at deeper affordability even with fewer overall affordable units makes sense to me. this is the flexibility contemplated in the da, when they provided for these kinds of ability to modify and has such we are in here in support of

the proposed modification. happy to address any questions you may have and again, thanks for your consideration. >> thanks dan. >> thank you josh and dan. sorry--commissioners, do we have a motion? >> motion. >> second. >> thank you. we will open up for discussion. first we'll open up for public comment. any public comment in the room? any public comment? okay. carmel, do we have public comment on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> exciting issue. public comment is closed. thank you. i'll start with commissioner harrington. >> thank you. i can understand why we are doing this and it makes a whole lot of sense. i also totally get we like to

do-rent the spaces and we want to go ahead with parcel f to do this. no question about that at all. let me ask a larger picture though. so, at what point does parcel a just not work? what point do we say we are not renting anybody at 15 0 percent so we have to adjust that and also, parcel d1a you are talking about 45, 55 percent ami, which seems hard to pencil out. trying to figure, is this going to fall together at the end because this one part makes perfect sense, but all thing seems it will be difficult and that's the first question. irel polk ask the second to talk to both. we have been hearing a lot about the need for market rate for people that are teachers and firefighters and police officers, so we have been hearing the middle income fight. we need not just deeply discounted but the middle income group and it

sounds that isn't working. i get with the pandemic and the market changing, that is probably true, but is this discussion of the need for that middle income group maybe not what we are talking about anymore is that a old fashion idea or 5 years from now it will be back where it was and need to do something to let teachers live in the city. big questions but that is more a concern then the specific of this one. >> let me hit the first part to that and probably will turn to dan to talk about the future as far as-outlook, because i it is a real question. are we really just-just everything is market rate or extremely below, very low levels of ami, good question. the first i want to say is, while the penciling of a 45 percent or 50 percent ami building is typically because of the 100 percent affordable nature of the building and presuming you are eligible tax credit.

you can literally actually penciled better then a 90 percent ami building because of the tax credit offset. there is risk because it is based upon availability of tax credit and super competitive market especially in the last 5 years, but that is the underlying assumption is better financially or at least neutral on that regard. the question you had about building a, i say right now we are not looking to modify the mix associated with that. i think if it struggles continues i imagine that could be a discussion. we have not had that with the developer at the time. the way we are looking is putting another mix of infusion of 90 percent ami units we will get a series more applicants and existing apis cnts from building a. i think there is a scenario which we reset demand that maybe there is-we are leasing up the other properties. i don't want to close the door

on that option that we could look at that. the big est issue at this stage is we are limited without go toog the board of supervisors with dropping below 30 percent for the phase, without that being in play, which we are not proposing at this time that is more material amendment. i don't see it configuration at this point without that. i would say yes, we are hope that hits the first portion that and then if dan is available i probably want to turn over to him to speak about what is the right ami level that is workforce or teacher housing. dan. >> great question. first i say i think we should continue to build moderate income housing. what we need to get i think a couple things. one is recognize the markets are dynamic and more dynamic then our ami prices. what happened over the last 10

years ami increased significantly so when you calculate rent based on ami, at the 150 percent level you are over market. we call below market rate units but they are actually in this case in this moment up market. part of our policy is you need to price the units at 20 percent below market, but for developers to be underwriting 150 percent ami units and 20 percent below the current market that impacts their underwriting and returns and makes it difficult to actually undertake. i guess i distinguish between 120 percent ami and 150 percent ami and i try not to say anything controversial during commission meetings but i say this, 150 percent ami units are too high. it is just priced too high in a rental, so certainly the development agreements i participate in moving forward we

wouldn't include that as a part of a below market rate strategy because it is too touch to make pencil. 120 percent ami, i think there is-will continue to be ongoing need for that and some of the issues with lease up we can address through procedural improvements. we are making improvements now. as you get closer to market, you need to make it easier are for people to get into units because they have choice at that stage. they could go to class b or c product or they could go to oakland or go some other jurisdiction. i think there is continued to be a real need for those units in san francisco, and we need to make adjustments and we are already doing this to our lease up protocols and marketing procedures in order to attend to that need and in a efficient way, as well as work with our developers to make sure that in

soft markets they are comfortable pricing those units 20 percent below a market rent, which will encourage and spur lease up. still very much worthwhile endeavor. we are making procedural and process improvements to address the need, but right now in this case i think this adjustment down to 90 percent makes a ton of sense. >> thanks very much. one last question. when do we think phase 2 might happen? >> we are counting on-what we currently have been planning on, there is a lot of pre-work that has to happen. we are monitoring the larger macro economic issues and thinking what else needs to happen, what modifications to nake it work, but these are happening at the same time. we have been planning that construction would start by 2026 is how we are looking at it from a future bond capacity side. there is a lot that has to

happen there, but what the first real step would be is, we need to go forward to this body for phase 1 submittal that may or may not include other requests, so as a example, it could include a dda amendment as far as it goes, we are not currently planning that, but i would expect we probably are not in a position before the end of this year to come back for that, but we are monitoring actively and starting to look at all the levers that can be pulled. we are all aware, there is a lot of exemptions and renegotiations made in the code for projects, they are starting to change for the da projects. not currently in place, but i think all options are on the table, but say we are hoping for construction in 2026. >> thanks very much. and thanks for all the work to accommodate and make this work out. i like to see people in apartments. thanks.

>> thank you. commissioner lee. >> it makes sense to lower the requirements as a landlord myself, if you are not selling you got to rearrange it and you have to still be within the requirement, so that's okay with me. my question is, what is the total occupancy including this? what is the building--is it pretty still a ways to go to fill it up? >> i can do quick math to let you know on that which would be, we are 70 percent with 36 percent of the bmr units and we are at 126 units have been leased up there and the bmr units we have got 28 have been leased up. we are at 156 out of 283, so

you about 60 percent. >> okay. i would think you want to sell out that unit that building before the next one. also, does a renter have to pay for their own water garbage or included in the rent? >> there is a certain portion and i can turn to the developer for the specifics. a lot is all inclusive but there are add-ons. are we passing on any utilities? mostly fully served in a lot of levels from a direct side. >> jeremy, bmr pay for their electric. the market rate residents pay their own electric, individually metered and our pass-through common area service through the mission rock utilities which is district energy system and black water treatment plant for non potable and potable water, and sewer charges.

and residents across the board are responsible for providing their internet service and telecommunication if they so elect to. >> the affordable or bmr, couple hundred dollars a month they spend for utilities? >> no, sig cntsly less. the resident are paying for electric and there is a utility allowance. >> okay. it makes sense to fill it up 21 to $2700 at this time and age it seems to be-going to be a sell-out. it will be a lot better. i think the developer with interest rate so high, they need the cash flow, so i think it is all good, but i think you should sell this out. you will have more square footage on your hands pretty soon. >> yeah, and while the timing-they are not stacked directly on top of

each other, but the way we look at this, you have a host of 90 percent bmr units sold out on part 1. you have a good statement about the market rate units, no question, but there is a lot oof people-those are lease negotiations happening now. by the time that happens, the 70 percent number hopefully is 80 percent by the time you are under applications processed should be close to it. i think the thought is a lot of people will have a choice between there, but parcel a should be pretty well leased out by the time it is online. >> it is best to rent and get a fair deal and get it rented because there is still a lot of options out there. we are remodeling units just to compete. remodeling a unit private unit is $50 thousand, flooring,s kitchen, everything, so obviously you have a turn key situation if you have

a good rent and should be able to sell out faster. i am supportive of this. >> great. thank you. >> thank you commissioner. commissioner adams. >> i appreciate your comment and i think commissioner ed said some i wanted to say. you coming to the commission, you are telling the commissioners, we are getting ready and i appreciate that. [indiscernible] decision to be taken lightly. i always say, this is decision made in real time. things are fluid out there and i clearly understand that and i know when ed asked about next year, it is hard to predict. it really is and you will be back again. that is what happens with these projects. you have to adjust constantly to what is happening. you do. you are adjusting and i heard [indiscernible] federal reserve the other day, he was talking about

interest rate. there is a lot happening. a lot of uneasyness, so i really appreciate that and you are making the adjustment, the mayor office is in and i think steve said it, we are not in the same econe economy precovid. you made the adjustment and when you came i remember being on the commission 12 years where we remember at there and now and you are making the proper changes that have to be done. you are not just putting your head in the sand. i really appreciate that and there will be more changes and just coming to the commission and letting us know where you are at so we can get ready and there will be more changes and maybe you might not be till next year. you can answer ed's question later this year, we don't know, but what is in front of us i support that because this is real time and support that. mayor office and everybody is on board and all seem to be rolling in the same direction. have a big presidential

election. there is so much in the air now we dont have control of. you are only doing what you could control and then the confidence of the city and economy and everything, so i'm totally on board and i really appreciate this and this is well thought out and thanks for bringing it to the commission. >> great. thank you. >> i first want to say i'm supportive of the item and i think mostly because the 30 percent for the space is still being met. i will be more bold to say, i want to say for future phasing, 150 percent is too close to market. whether in the bay area or anywhere else, we are seeing other parts with the depression in the market in oakland you are seeing 90 percent sometimes to be close. for all the rig murow you need to apply for the bmr units and the process and ongoing murass the bureachyeracy puts you through if i was a renter that close to the market there is

very little reason to take advantage of this. i support the item and support going deeper and i guess i just wanted to put a plug in for the next phase. if it is appropriate i had a couple questions. i really support the next phase being hundred percent building. you had 45 and 50 percent ami. i know the ami level and please connect if i'm wrong, this is part of the ballot measure passed. [indiscernible] the overall was 40, but not the ami not prescribed? >> [indiscernible] >> okay. there is still negotiations. i will be advocate to say i think if we do hundred percent stand alone building and you use live tech or public financing for it, i really would like to see a project with 30 percent ami. two seniors living in san francisco, one on social security and one

on light pension can not afford 40 percent ami unit. i don't know the unit mix but if we have studios and one bedrooms those are most likely seniors or single human being or single human being with a child and i'm concerned if we don't have deeper affordability in the unit and if we use live tech as a product we can go deeper. we are not going to get diversity of up and coming community i hope we get so i wanted to put the plug in for the next phase. i probably won't be on the dais but for the final phase, you are still showing all at 120, 150 sopt to encourage the fluidity. i think that is so pornts. important. that is probably 15 years out. to really look at the reason the affordsability was so important for this project was to create a

mix income diverse community in a neighborhood that 15 years ago was parking lots and even before the stadium was there was industrial and parking lots. light industrial. i hope we'll look at that when we do it and i really admire the commitment the 40 percent. i said before i like to see every deal coming to us have affordability in the future if it can. maybe it is too early, but back east has a non profit affordable housing component. are you considering being the developer and bringing in a non profit partner? >> my understanding is the original intent is vetted, but the discussion we have been having is likely towards a non profit operator. >> okay. i think when you come back i love to understand. please connect if i'm wrong,

but it is new york or boston and are thought you are doing a large scale redevelopment project doing that product yourself so i want to understand the thinking of why bringing in a partner when you have your own capital you could put forward for it. >> tischman has probust affordable housing platform tech inspire communities and we have active projectss in new york and here in california we partner with non profits to execute. in san francisco [indiscernible] to develop state land projects which we under gavin newsom [indiscernible] located within the western addition neighborhood and so we are working on those in collaboration with them and we anticipate partnering with another affordable non profit to execute the vision and the way we approach those partnerships is that we bring our deep real estate construction and design development expertise and they bring the real local affordable housing and

non profit community based outreach perspective. >> okay. i look forward learning more when you come back to us how you make the selection and move that forward. thank you. >> i want to put a note talking about diversity of the development. this is the location where the tae units would be. not forgotten as far as phase 2. none has been design ed or programmed but that is a portion of it. >> okay, thank you for that reminder. thank you josh and thank you dan. we have further questions commissioners? we have a motion on the table. all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you. unanimous resolution 24-21 is adopted. thank you. jenica, next item, please. >> item 10 is new business. >> commissioners, the only new business i recorded is commissioner harrington's note about looking for federal

and state support on addressing the challenges of the crab and salmon season issues we have been seeing and can we do anything so we'll look into that and report back on efforts we can make with partners because that is so important to the fishing industry. i have not recorded anything else. any other new business? >> any other new business commissioners? commissioner harington. >> following up on commissioner adams discussion, we used to have periodic meetings at the southeast community center and are it is now a bran new building. fantastic building up there. i assume they set it up so it could have all the telecommunication requirements for commission meeting and just if you could look into whether that or some other facility might make sense as some other place to meet periodically besides this building. >> will look into that. thank you. >> actually had one other spur of the moment idea based of commissioner adams what he said.

i was wondering if we can have conversation to see if this can materialize. i had the luxury to tour a princess vessel on the recycling program and green initiative. if we have folks use pier 80 more, maybe there is a way to negotiate with our cruiseing partners to have a tour for youth or individuals who never imagine on a cruise vessel. i never cruiseed. it was one of the most fascinating experience, particularly behinds the scenes aspect. how big the boat is, international workers and multiple languages folks speak, how it categorized actually that certain nationalities fit certain job classifications. a interesting way to get young people and people in the southeast more familiar with cruiseing and what we do at the port. if i can put that out to see maybe a year from now you can come back with magic to make that happen. >> glad you mentioned it because i myself am going to tour the

pier 80 cruise what it makes to make pier 80 a regular cruise birth so i'll look with a eye can we expand that when we hopefully bring vessels back. >> i want to say to you deputy director, i appreciate the way you handled youself, filling in for director forbes, you have been professional and to the staff thank you. we haven't missed a beat and thank you your leadership. you have been there and been out there and i want to say we appreciate it and that you have been holding it down. thank you. >> thank you commissioner. it is all the staff. thank you. >> do we have a motion to adjourn commissioners? >> so moved. >> second. >> okay. all in favor? >> aye. >> we adjourn the meeting at 445. [meeting adjourned]

>> let's give a big warm long crazy san francisco welcome to bay fc! [cheers and applause] now we've got, yeah, we've got the warriors, yeah we've got the giants. we've got the niners, but we have the hottest, coolest, and arguably the best professional sports franchise right here right now, one more big cheer
