leader within the region. we recently installed the first ever publicly accessible mastercard initiative enabled electric vehicle charging station. while these vehicles are slowly rolling off the assembly lines, we had a very successful event, of which the mayor attended, deputy director moyer. we had many members of the media

at 10, and in the backdrop, it was interesting because that was your shoreside tower component. in the forefront, we had our electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging stations. again, this is not a mandated program, but this was a public/private partnership. our company provided the equipment, and the port provided the installation. so what did the future have in store for parking? it may not be a glamorous component to the court -- to the port's daily activities, but we believe expanding the charging station will make it the most accessible parking area for electric vehicles in the city. we also believe we will be working closely with staff as well as the america's cup organizing committee to make your parking and transportation management seamless. finally, we are working closely with car share for writers in

the city to expand accessibility and car share hods. in conclusion, the profitability, the accessibility, and the environmental stewardship has significantly improved in the last 12 months. we look forward to many more years of this service. thank you. commissioner brandon: thank you. is there any other public comment on this item? thank you. that was a great presentation. more revenue. >> item 11, new business. >> may we have an update on seawall lot 337? i do not think we have heard much about that in a while.

>> you are referring to the developing project? >> that would be great. >> i have an item under new business. i was recently appointed to the port and took a tour thanks to peter daly and susan reynolds. they gave me an extensive view of our proud heritage, and it reminded me ask that time what was going on and what is coming up in our future. is that a mental note on this, that we possibly did not have a maritime preservation policy on board. as you mentioned, the dry dock and many things we do down here on the southern tip of the waterfront -- that is probably an important item that we should not forget where we came from.

with that, i'm going to ask if we can implement or fined or renew a maritime preservation policy. commissioner brandon: we would be delighted. i did not believe there is such a thing, so we will kraft one and bring it to you. commissioner crowley: and thank you to peter and susan for opening my eyes. >> any public comment on new business? item 12, public comment. is there any public comment on public comment? oh, but i do have a speaker card. i'm sorry. >> thank you, members of the port commission. i'm a historian with the historical council. i wanted to draw your attention to an important anniversary coming up on the 18th of this month. the 100 anniversary, january 18,

1911, of what is widely regarded -- also, one could quibble about historical anniversaries and beginnings, whether they are discoveries or exploration or inventions. in this case, it was the birthplace of naval and more broadly speaking maritime aviation. the first round trip flight from land, landing on a ship and then taking off from a ship and returning to land. that was a pilot deployed by glenn curtiss, who many of you have probably heard of -- pioneer of aviation -- in november of 1910, the first flight on a ship to a ship took place at hampton roads, virginia, on the uss birmingham. what he did was flying off -- excuse me.

he flew on the ship. they had a major national aviation me taking place at that time. one of the things they did was the first flight through and/or over the golden gate. this particular flight was from suffrage field, landed on the uss pennsylvania, specially rigged up by a navy lieutenant. the first officer appointed to be an aviation pilot, flyer -- whatever you want to call it -- his name was ellison. he read it up so the planes could land and be contained and not fly off the deck -- he rigged it up. the whole thing was done in san francisco. it was the first on and off flight on a ship and the first

flight off a ship. again, this is a very important anniversary. it was right here approximately between the second and -- it is a little hard to tell exactly, but between the second and third towers of the bay bridge would be the approximate location. thousands of people lined the waterfront. this is going to be the naval order of the united states, an important naval support group, that is going to have an even on the carrier hornet. the killer museum of aviation history. as a matter of fact, they have a replica of the plane, and our group proposes to have a brief memorial event right here on the 18th. just wanted to let you know. commissioner brandon: thank you. is there any other public comment?

can i have a motion to adjourn? commissioner crowley: so moved. commissioner lazarus: second. >> the meeting is adjourned at 4:23 p.m.

funding that we receive from the bay area quality management district. the bay area quality management district requires that their contract term -- the useful life of the facilities that we are constructing, plus three years. in this case, bike lanes we are constructing on the great highway have a useful life of 10 years. then we add three years to that, for a total of 13 years. that is the reason we are here, requesting the board's approval of these agreements. supervisor avalos: thank you.

is this the first major round of bike racks we are putting in? the first grant we have had for that? >> let me refer to my colleague who is better qualified to answer that. >> the answer to your question is no. we have other services that provide racks. this is just one funding source. supervisor avalos: ok. thank you for the presentation. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. we will move this forward with recommendations. item two. >> resolution authorizing the department of the environment to retroactively accept and expend a grant in the amount of $75,463 from the us environmental protection agency to implement a green cleaning pilot project that will lead to the creation of multi-lingual

report, the cost per unit annual rent per unit for the 86 units is about $7688 per year, and that is more than average of other hotels. however, as we point out, there are more amenities for this hotel, such as a full bath, so therefore, that increased cost appears to be justified. we recommend that you approve this resolution. supervisor avalos: very good. public comment? >> good morning, supervisors. thomas pickering low. i will give some public comment to extend your longevity as chair of the committee. i have some
