between the companies that promote jobs and business. we are part of the customer base for businesses in our area. several of the tenants serve the local maritime community in important ways. we expanded these maritime services and increased public access to our bay. there have been some public, towards this end, we also find it important to address the public safety issues that the pier, that the port of san francisco has raised and we are willing to repair all of the items on the list in a timely manner without removing the tenants. we will hire a state licensed engineer to address any of the structural items. we will continue to create jobs in business. we propose to create facilities to dock larger vessels in san francisco. we would be willing to pay back the loan to the california department of boating and

waterways using the pro seeds that are generated by the pier. we would complement the new park and we would also give the port of san francisco a significant increase in revenue. so i would like to you think about pressuring maybe the port to allow us to stay there. we're willing to take care of all of the concerns of the port, thank you very much. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i have been conducting marine-related business in pier 38 for well over a decade. also, i live in the neighborhood, so i'm pretty much around this area all the time. the pier 38 has been functioning very well and i happen to notice that a lot of people that are speaking here today used a lot of words like revenue and jobs. and when we are going to close

a perfectly well functioning pier for repairs that need to be made, and turn it into pier 36. i'm not sure who is familiar with. there is no doubt in my mind that they're going to create number pir 36 which is fenced off, rundown building attracting drug users and so on. it's my neighborhood and also i'm one of the tenants. i am being evicted. i'm not the biggest revenue generator in the pier 38. however, it's mind boggling that we can get a man on the moon and we can bring back "apollo 13" and save lives when we need to, but we cannot fix a pier that generates perfectly good revenue and provides a shelter for a lot of people and jobs. thank you. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> hi, i'm bob christopher.

i'm a tenant at pier 38 here to support the cause. a little bit of background. pier 38 is a recognized piece of landscape in the investor world. there is parts of mountain view and parts of pier 38 in san francisco. i ran an event there once a month called start-up b and b. we bring in investors and entrepreneurs and executives to coalesce around different emerging tech companies and other opportunities. we're bringing in some top pier one b.c.'s and also entrepreneurs. everyone knows this location. they know the pier. people like dave and ron who are very famous investors know this place very well. what this creates is a culture in the community that you can't replace. you can go down the street and open another pier, put us there instead. i hate to see that happen, but

you're not going to have the same kind of atmosphere that you would have here. it's like taking sand hill road and putting it in berkeley. it's a difference of culture and atmosphere with the surroundings. i both invest and mentor and advice companies, so i see a lot of companies from spain, italy and south america coming here, some wonderful talent and they love the culture and the support network they have at pier 38. short story is this event has to take place. it would be a shame to close it. a lot of people here will be adversely affected if it did close. i would hate to see that happen as well. thank you. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i work in an italian company. we moved to there in january because we wanted to expand our business. we have been lucky to find a place like pier 38 thanks to the great people we met at the

pier, they enabled us to start doing business in the u.s. and to -- and gave us a lot of business opportunities. all of these could be lost. thanks very much. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i came here from france to start my business here. among many places i chose pier 38 because i believe it's the spark of innovation. hundreds of companies are created at pier 38 for the past few years. some of them saw wonderful exits ranging to up to millions of dollars. this is a unique place that a lot of international people are coming to start their business. i have been to london, paris,

madrid, amsterdam and tel aviv and any of those international cities would die to help us if they could. this is really sad that this is happening. thanks. president chiu: next speaker. >> hi, my name is glen jones. i'm a resident of pier 38 as well. i have two businesses as well. one we do environmental restoration work. another is a contracting company and we build homes in san francisco. i would like to say i don't think we have been treated very fairly with the eviction. we have been associated with carl and have taken the tenants to carl on that we are, as has been stated, really a great group of people there creating jobs, making jobs for san francisco and the community and at large, we are doing a really

good job and we would like to stay there. i'm a general contractor, like i said. i can repair everything on the list within a month easily and pay for it. so i would plead our case to stay and continue giving revenue to the port and the city of san francisco. with us leaving the pier in their 25-day notice to depart, the city is going to lose a significant amount of money due to our departure and rent loss. then the pier is going to sit, from what we hear, from two to three days while these minor repairs are taking place while it degradates as does the pier beside it. the waterfront is the gem of the city and needs to be taken care of. we're there to take care of it,

run it and help the economy of san francisco. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> good >> good afternoon. i would like to speak to some of the concerns raised about the construction project and the give a little bit of background and a couple of ideas for strategy's going forward. we have a lot of history here in the room. the bayview, hunters point, agencies have existed and there were commissioners who were right here on the left. eloise westbrook who passed away. here to be with us to highlight the challenge is the good faith efforts and local hiring

project. good faith did not work in the sixties and it will not work now. the city had this local hiring process as well. the city chose this through legislation and this was supported by the board of supervisors. the ship from a good faith type of approach that measures success and outcomes and actual results is what i think might be really important because i don't think that the concerns will go away. the redevelopment continues to have a good face policy. to build upon the relationships that are developing that led it

to the passage of this law. the board of supervisors can consider using their influence to influence the redevelopment agency. thank you. >> thank you, my name is oscar james. the one thing i want to bring up first is that i was like this session to clothes. -- to close. there will be a meeting on the 20 it and they're talking about capping. we don't want any of the shipyard to be capped. i have seen the radiation roberts, i have seen the lead, i have seen the toxic -- back

there. i have also served on the hunters point shipyard. i talked about the toxins being there, and they denied it. the city of voted on it. they wanted all of these moved. do not allow the navy to come in and cap the shipyard. we're talking rectifier that they started. all of this is a total lie. we can give you an update on what happened. please come to this meeting and

voice your opinion. thank you very much. >> thank you, next speaker. >> thank you, supervisors. we are going to to lose out on a big advantage. all have asked for this space. we have brought some of the clients that we work with to san francisco where they ended up spinning off their own company. and we think that that opportunity will go away.

we also echo the sentiment about the timing. we have 15 employees, we have several contractors. this is not a trivial thing to do. we have not yet secured a new location. we have worked with the port and other commercial real estate folks. everyone confirms that will must see anything for 10 months. we would like to offer a plan which is some way of staying in our current situation. think you. >> i want to reiterate what other people have said, obviously this represents a lot of jobs and revenue for the city

of san francisco. we are working on various boats. in the past, there is a lot of options for the public to have boats there. we're hoping to turn this around and reiterate that this could happen with more access. time is short and i encourage you to see what happens. >> next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors.

i want to say thank-you to all of you for your willingness to be crossed out, talked dirty to. don't get worried. i want ology to know, what you are seeing is years and years of frustration. i just pray that they're different than what we were in the sixties and they don't want to comment blow everything up. let's give the lot on opportunity to work. i am 100% with mr. jackson. one of the problems that we have

had is that there is no teeth to these. i would say do you to get someone in their to ensure that these contractors are not getting wealthy on city jobs. thank-you and got less all of you. >> i am the founder and ceo of -- a year ago, a venture capitalist friend of mine who are talking to about to and the start of said that you need to come out of the bay area. when i came, there was this energy that emanated and it was here 38.

this serves as a nexus for venture capitalists, very talented people call law and businesses and risk takers. if you look at san francisco as the speaking, pier 38 was the filament of that. this is a shame to see this go this way. >> i have been told by the court staff that there is a meeting that will be convened likely by the end of this week with

various city staffers. we hope that everyone will be able to come, i know that we have visited pier 38, this is an incredible place. we want to make sure that we do everything we can to figure out a good resolution. we want to let you know tuesday to end and you can call supervisor kim's office. >> there is someone here to speak with the people at pier 38. we have been speaking closely with some of the tenants to coordinate this meeting. if you're not in touch with our office, that is our way of keeping in touch with you but we have been in touch with the

mayor's office of the finding a resolution. >> thank you very much for being here. next speaker. >> i live across the street. they have been a good neighbor. they bring healthy people coming and going to work in our neighborhood. the overhead is not seem to be working. i will switch the subjects and i will ask you to choose between two neighbors. here is bayside village, it has

been here. the parking spaces are ventilated. this is about the size of a space. across the street, we have the water mark. that is a parking garage. this is tied to the power grid. it blows fumes. on the front side, it blows noise. this is equal to the bridge.

which would you like to have in front of your neighborhood, in front of your home where you live? to have noise in a building, it gets dumped. the noise is garbage. thank you. >> thank-you. >> good afternoon. i am from a district 10.

i started to work as an electrician because of the program that they had back in 1977 to get people in the area to work. bill local six electricians are good at that. if they don't like you, they will bankrupt you. there should be more emphasis on

hiring people in this city to keep this function in. if people cannot get a job, this goes to people in livermore, modesto, santa rosa. there seems to be a lot of collusion and ways to bust the system. i would like to thank you for the up to 80 to have people come and speak on their causes and to represent themselves. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public that bush to speak in general public comment? general public comment is closed. why don't we go to the adoption without committee reference calendar? >> these items will be acted upon by a single vote unless a

member requests a discussion of the item. >> would anyone like to sever any items? could you please call the roll? >> those resolutions are adopted. >> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals on behalf of supervisor kim, wiener, cohen, and avalos, for the late mr. would burn.

for the late mr. cox. on behalf of carmen chu, for helen mcdonald on behalf of mirkarimi, on behalf of -- >> if we can have miss westbrook for the entire board, without objection, that will be the case. and leicester's any business and from the this board, i think we are returned for to -- unless there is any business in front of this board, i think we are adjourned for the day.
