welcome on this lovely, rainy day. thank you for coming. i only have one item on my executive director's report, which is a record in my being here. happy news relating to the baseline shot -- the bay line shore park mission development project. as you recall, the photos that were approved were for the obligation bonds for parks throughout the city that for the first time made investments in port open space properties, including the front part on the east side of the boulevard, from pier 54 to mayor opposes street. a very short swath of land that, if you are familiar with that area, has been fenced for quite some time because of the shoreline being in a tenuous state.

early in december we were able to complete the bulk of our construction work there and reopen that area to the public. we are still working on a few items, but that area opened in early december and has been very popular to date. people are fishing and hanging out with the lovely weather in january it was a plot -- prime place to be. the great news about completing that project is that it completes the first mile of the blue-green way. from the left -- lefty o'doul bridge down to mayor oppose the street. we are really happy to see that. we have several people to thank. i do not know if they are in the room, but in our own engineering group i would especially like to thank [unintelligible]

[applause]

i wanted to open with a few comments. i wanted to recognize kim for her leadership in this past year, as well as ann lazarists. i am very proud to take on this role but know that i will be hanging on them long term. i would also like to thank lesley and francis for their contributions over the past year. 2012 will be an exciting year for the city. we have a number of things in front of us. the ongoing efforts on the blue green light. the america's cup. we have a number of projects that are ongoing and it is an exciting time for the port in the city. we have a new mayor, so i think we have stability in terms of how things will evolve.

i know that the mayor has been extremely supportive of what we do at the port, which is extremely important for us. many of you know the mission of the port and maritime, recreational, and commercial activities that are important. i wanted to reiterate the commitment that was important for this commission to share, leading in an important and transparent way in terms of overseeing the activities of the port, as well as serving as the formal approval body for various projects and matters that come before us, which we are expected to accomplish. importantly, we are here to reiterate that we act as resources to the port director interest that. our role is to help them and the port to be more successful in terms of their endeavors.

support is very important -- the port is very important to business enterprise in the city. in some sense, our stakeholders are not just the city and county of san francisco, but obviously all the decisions in this city and the groups, the interests that they represent, our job is to make sure that we come to a balanced conclusion in terms of making sure that they are coming out in the balance for everyone. i think it should be given, but it is important to reiterate that in terms of how we want this commission to function and how closely the port works with me monique and her staff, going forward. i have just had a few months under my belt and i know that there is a lot more to learn, but i hope to learn from the

stakeholders, staff, and fellow commissioners. i am honored and privileged to have this position going forward. thank you. ok, i guess that the next thing is that we are supposed to go through the consent calendar. >> item from the consent calendar, 8a -- request authorization to accept an expanded $1,121,795 in 2009 infrastructure protection program for security grant program funds from the department of homeland security for security improvements at the port of san francisco. 8b, request authorization to award construction contract no. 2755 port security fences phase 32 crusader fence co. inc. in the amount of $1,311,000 and

parking meters on improved port st. east of third street between mission and isalis creeks. >> first, congratulations to commissioners woo ho and brandon. i also wanted to introduce david gonzalez, who has been assisting on this, and jay [unintelligible] who it will also be presenting and has been assisting on this project. the commission has the authority to regulate within their jurisdiction. we often refer to this as a port st.. the map in front of you -- >> he would if he was here. the areas. >> attached, in the staff report it illustrates the jurisdiction

between the sf mta and the port. the port has the ability to regulate streets through the traffic code. as much as possible, we try to coordinate with the san francisco municipal transportation authority agency and has a history of doing so over port streets. in 2010 they requested certain regulations. they were also critical that we look at the entire mission bay area in coordination with partners in the redevelopment agency and asset mta to come up with a strategy for the entire area. we requested that the mta take the lead on that effort because of their expertise with parking regulations and parking management, as well as their significant majority of jurisdiction within the bay.

as the mta and redevelopment agency began to look at parking strategies, it became evident that we needed to look at a larger area than just mission bay. as we will describe in a little bit, we looked at the buffer area of, where the port began to look at an area that was out of 23rd street, basically between 23rd streets and the creek, and these sub-areas identified in the traffic in front of you. with that, pardon me, i will introduce j premise, who has more on the on street parking strategy. >> good morning, commissioners. thank you for being here. david coverdale lot of the

presentation. this will be brief walk through of what is specifically proposed and the rationale. this is a map of the mission bay area. this is the parking shed, one way of saying the distance, the walking distance to mission bay. what we are already seeing, which is developed or under development, it is incredibly dynamic but a lot of people parking in the areas. it was critical to look at this as a coherent whole. the timing was right, given the level of development. this map summarizes current parking regulations and how it has managed near. bluelines signify the time limits of two hours. there was a stop-gap measure put in place where a real parking

management proposal could be developed in partnership with various agencies, something we have been working on for over a year-and-a-half. in the surrounding areas you will see the dots that -- represent existing parking meters. redlines represent completely on managed parking. the green lines are the areas of existing residential parking permits. pretty dense red -- residential areas. what this really says, and shows you, is that a lot of the parking in the surrounding area is a relic of another kind. 20 years ago, not managing parking in that area may have been fine. as this has become a dynamic area, it is only becoming more so. the time is ripe to manage parking effectively.
