and say that we have already fixed up a lot of the sites that might be of interest. so on the other hand it may be that we could come up with ways of increasing their revenue to us given that the cost of fixing up some of these sites is now diminished. >> that is an exciting part of looking at our releasing opportunities. i know that there say lot of discussion going on with staff, as to what opportunities to pursue at any of those venues. >> yeah. >> so i would say that i think that it is great to see the more optimistic forecast from last year and i think that we can agree and i think that it is a combination of the fact that the economy has gotten better and i think that we are did he go better as well. both in terms of the way that we are operating ourself and always help from the market environment also cooperating with you so you can make a one plus one equals three equation so you can look for those plus equations. i did have a couple of questions in terms of the cruise passenger facility is

that per passenger? >> that is right >> what will be the charge that you are thinking? i know that it has not been formulated? >> i think that it could be anywhere between $3 and $5. other, we are following a standard implemented in seattle and san diego. each of those ports actually implemented charges to pay for the gang way and for san diego cruise's terminal. for us it is just a matter of how long we want our debt how long we want until the debt matures and off of that willingness to pay by the customers. so we received positive feedback from the cruise lines indicating that they did not think that it would be a hindrance. >> and it is part of the over all cruise fare or they actually outline it separately to the passengers for $3, to $5 that is not something that you will have a line item on your

bill. would i be aggressive on what you think. >> and it is important to note that we or that that charge would retire once the debt was paid off. so if there are concerns about that costs tha, is an important piece of information that it is only to pay the cost of the infrastructure. >> so this morning i roughly did a quick estimation saying that the cruise ship itself cruises on i guess 80 stops is what we are experiencing something like that a year and that may be 25 percent of the time and so what is the occupantcy for the remainer of the year for the terminal? >> i apologize i don't have that information. i had relied on the a home study at which had assumed, 800,000 per year. in revenue. i don't know the details of it, i took a haircut off that have and the plan assumes $5 on ...

$500,000. >> i guess that we are getting the responses back from the companies and it will be interesting to see what the thoughts are whether that matches up with the study that you are taking because it will be interesting to see how many days that we assume besides the cruise ships will be utilized what the rent will be and at least if we could judge from today. and we even have the host tes with the mostest getting excited we can assume that there will be tremendous interest, and we have to figure out how many days a year we can rent it out and see what the rental will be, that will be very interesting to see. so that number sounds like it is conservative at this point. >> it is. >> it can be refined as we learn from or get more input on to it. >> that is right >> on the real estate rents, there was an assumption that we made. >> yes, actually so that is

another way that are you speaking specifically about the america's cup? >> no i am talking about just the real estate revenue that you obviously improved here and it is a combination of vacantcy and rental and we have not talked about it here but at some point improved delinquency. >> right. yes, i don't have those details, but it is based on real estate's analysis of current or how the market is currently looking. and a turnover, and that sort of thing. okay. >> so basically, if that is the case, i would say that this is probably more of a conservative side and i think that we all understanding what your aexceptions are and hopefully you show us a more positive picture and the revenue that we can generate the more that we can manage to control. and knowing that we have to invest the better off we are.

is kind of what i called the jaws. and the revenues like this and the expenses go up like this. the jaws effect and that is always a good sort of indicator of the future. i think that is going to be a positive. and i think that at some point, probably to think out of the box and the revenue sources could probably be in. it is hard for the public properties and naming the opportunities across the water front, etc.. and these are things that we should be thinking about whether there are sources of revenue. that are not typical. >> and this is an off year with our budget. and we will be getting the next budget process. that we will talk about the revenue options and try to build them into our next budget. >> and they are great. thank you very much. >> any other comments? >> okay. thank you, thank you.

>> thank you. >> item 13, new business? >> commissioners if i may, i left one person out earlier today and that is martin who has been doing a terrific job all along the job, with our projects and the communications with the public and most especially thanks to her today for a great event. >> thank you. >> is there any comment on any new business? >> public comment? >> no. >> i chat about this and maybe just to say it. we heard in some of the presentations earlier about the importance of really pdsing the water front transportation and you and i had discussions about whether the port needed to look it along the design standpoint up and along the water front, if i could have you come back and perhaps the port could help peter more because he is looking to the surface

transportation. and while walter ... water is part of the picture i think that we have an interest we need to be conscious and what can the port do to accelerate to help in those efforts. >> and any other, any other new business, by the commissioners. >> okay >> we make a motion? >> to adjourn? >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> we have to call public comment. >> sorry. >> i think that we asked for public comment already. >> new business. >> just general comment. >> item 14. >> public comment? >> hearing none. should we have another motion to adjourn. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you.

take pictures of the view of the city that you soon went forgot. our first look out and at buena vista park san francisco

>> . >> [sound of gavel] the commission will come to order. secretary president torres. here. vice president doury commission moran. commission toest is skewedded from todayth meeting. >> all right we have a quorum public comment please? mr. costa welcome.

i wanted to come over here and speak in a manner that is forthright. so, some of you received my articles and if you read my articles, the many point is that we serve the community. and what is hooping in the various departments including the s f g o c is that in certain areas, we lack standards. new commissioners know because of your experience that ethics, morals, standards, count. when we do not pay attention to that, and matter go before the ethics commission, then a can of worms

is opened and we don't want that. now, many of us have come from the community and explained to you that the southest sector is not only a bay view but district 910 and 11 has been adversely impacted. and, we know just because of the nature of the water system improvement project, that type of project and that type of outreach was different from what is what should be done with the sewer system improvement project and i have been saying this for a long time and i really miss the gentlemen who was on the commission richard straw, i really miss him because, when you spoke to him, he really understood what were the needs

of the community. so, when puc didn't listen to us and wanted to place three combustion turbine and is we the people fought it and won, p. kruvment wassen lightened now we have other project and some of you commissioners have spoken about it in a forth right manner and some of you have not and the end result is this: when we dot analysis: do we consult who are adversely impacted for over 60 years do we consult them don't think they are ignorant. they are as statute in other ways and so when we attend add committee benefits meeting recently, the community spoke well and one of you all was there present and so those are the types of dialogs

that we have and so thank you very much. >> thank you any other general public comments? there being none -- oh, all right you -- very briefly i know i appreciate staff often i wanted to do that again today last with him week c ac subcommittee had a meeting about contaminants that is of concerning that that's all be before you in some most and i think it's good that we had a discussion out of c a. >> the clerk: subcommittee earlier to inform staff and i think that is a good example of the staff working with the c ac and awful us to do the right thing and i just wanted to call that out and thank people. steve and andrew and their staff. thanks. >> all right i so want today get into the public comments i forgot to approve the minutes. is there any questions from any of members on the minutes as

currently written. i do not see anything. >> approved. >> all those in favor signify by saying aye. all right the minutes are approved as printed. communications any comments on that members of the commission? yeah, commissioner? we are on item five, correct? >> correct okay five c the real estate update. um,, let's see how shall i say this is this to amuse me or keep me going that commissioner you had to do something about real estate i have been an activist for over two years and all i do is get report after report and perhaps my colleagues here would like to join in don't you think it's time that we address these properties? don't we open owe it to the rate pairs if we could make some money.

indeed.. >> so how about at our next meeting where we have all five commissioners where we can schedule a workshop on real estate number. without objection that shall be the order. >> all right. any other comments from members of the commission on communications? any public comments from the general public on general communications item number five? all right there being none other commission business? no? all right we will move on to the report of the jeep manager mr. kelly. good afternoon it's, i would like to provide an update on the ssi p. sorry -- we will admit that. good morning commissionerses my name is emile

yo cruise mint commissioner structure first of all, i would like to thank you to servant puc commission specially during this interesting time of improving the program and the water system and the sewer system and in the first week on the job has been nothing less than outstanding although quite honestly, i think i managed to avoid looking like a deer in the headlights as i have been better ranged with a a lot of issues and certainly there is a lot going on at the puc and i'm fortunate to have a great staff at my disposal to update you on your goals and today i'll present on the schedule and scope scope and programs managed by the prial director and shell outline for you our schedule as well as our goal to outline the project for this year as we launch the sewer system program and followed by that. jeep will present to you our staffing

plan and keep in mind the staffing plan looks at all resource and not just our credible trucks but it also takes into account all of the staff including accountants, attorneys contract millioners and all of the resource necessary to implement the program when you look at raw numbers. secondly, keep in mind our goal to keep as much technology in house as much possible to use the valuable resows that we have at the puc and to use city coemployees to implement the program everywhere we can search when we implement the program we will go out to the world and pull from the brightest that they have to offer to join forces with the city it team up and implement this program and if you have any questions at the end of the present tiges, we will be able to present them for you and with that it's back to you. thank you memory yo.

[spelling?] and good afternoon president torres and we will talk about the next seem with the sewer system improvement program and we will re-cap the validation work that we did this past summer and then we will talk about the implementation of stage one project which have been authorized and funded. jeep will be walking through resource the contracting approach, the tools for efficient deliver and risk management and i'll return to talk about the public outreach evident. jeep is the ssi p deputy of preconstruction activity he served in that role with -- and will serve with me in this program and it's a real pleasure to work with him and so as you recall we had three phases for$3.9 million program for the ssi p program and we willive moving forward with phase one the projects that were better defined to learn additional things and then be

able to move forward into phase two and three ultimately. the break-down of the phase one projects that we are into immediately out the gate, there is three different distinct categorize the first includes planning through construction and what we have in in are fully funded the djer project as well as the of course, the green infrastructure project where we will have one test project within each of the eight water sheds. >> onth that point what is the last time those djers have been inspected. oh, wow we have just been inspecting them we have actually have two ought right now that are being work on and we have a jock contract. >> but two of them are not currently function x. two of them are not functioning but we had an additional infection where we looked at the roof and the situation is dire. >> very dire. something will be coming to you mr. president if it has

not come to you already and we will walk through that and so we have an emergency contract. >> so on those digester issues are they controlling the smelts that are emanating. >> it's hard to do that with the current situation and they are floating and the gas and is for those of you that are violence of the law visiting the facility i know member moran has --. >> i can't begin to tell you how many complaints i have received regarding the odors. and that is why this project is so important. >> why did it take so long to get it implemented. everyone is --. >> you have been here longer than i have. this is probably commissioner heinous --. -- i go back 15 years this is my third go-through. now we have sun day and now we have a policeman manager in place and we have a

contractor that is actually on your letters of contracts today the list of contracts that is going forward to be able to hire the designer we have the contracting approach. >> when are the rfp's going out. in about two weeks middle of march and this is for the discipler that will be pape taking us to-. >> construction 2018-2022 and stwierlle review weapon we have to go through planning. >> this is not a reflection on current staff and certainly not the general manager but this has not been with the seniority with the experience this is not a new issue and i'm trying to figure out why it has taken so long. well at this point. we can only move it forward and we cannot makeup for time that has been made lost. >> no, you are missing my point you can makeup more lost

time in the future by make correcting the mistakes that were done in the plast and make sure they didn't happen again that is all and so i would like to see the reasons why there is such delays. we can give you a chronological order of all the events and i'm sure commissioner cane can add to that but most lienly through this commission, they actually authorized us with the agreement of $2.7 million to take this program forward and so that is the latest start that we are measuring to now and after that, we were attached to how we can move up forward and we came one a way to move it forward by modifying the deliver method and so we are trying to move it as quickly as possible so the rfp's go out so the best companies to come on board with the b.s.

situation and so we are really going to move mooive forward but yes, it has been a long-time coming and everyone really agree that is we need to invest in that community and that plant. >> so the graded odorship grades which total 2.2 million of this budget they will begin the plan. we started the planning on that already and the construction will begin in a few years that is not going to be the large the expensive environment. . review foster forth digesters for the dig j didders project week do a more briefing for you? a. i do not want take the timing in the commission but in private i would like that. >> for me the grit removal is really important because that is an a sand that when the velocity of the flow comes in it did he tier ditierior rates [spelling?] our equipment and so it's a big

project for me as well. >> that is where all of the flows enter and that is-- i have experienced it but i have also experienced the complaints from residents and i totally empathize for them and my apologize for them that we have not moved more quickly in this area because i don't know how i could survive there and they are surviving everything every day with that odor and straikses and god knows how many other thing make may be in the air and the prop 55 on the prop of every bougets bottle on carcinogens and is i'm not incense active to these suspicious the fact that we have just found out on the department of environment is we found a connection between spes side and autism during the gestation period and so there are so much so many issues that we don't know about and i want

to make sure that, that community is protected and i know you have those feelings and concerns but i want to make sure that we move as aggressively as we can and count on me to support you to do that. we appreciate that, thank you. >> and thank the other commissioners whore here fighting this fight longer than i have. and you have heard commissioner cane and myself express our frustration with how long it's taken and there are of course, reasons and it's a "trail of tears" in a way that gets you there and part of it was figuring out which of many option would be taken in getting the concurrence of the it cancal staff in the community and which way we would go the best piece of news here, i thought was that the efforts you talked about in moving thing forward has moved the project forward 18 most and that is a significant advance and i think we are on the right track it has just been pain

fully slow getting here and it's just we share your frustration. >> no kidding. thank you. >> okay thank you and can we put the slides up one more time and stage one includes some projects from preliminary design so we can have them better defined and we can talk about that pthem quite a bit during the central baseline project and will help' alleviate storm control in the community and the city. when we put the program together the ssi t. we had phase one, two ask three and this is just a graphical representation of how those faces look. the first boxes that we will can starting with all of the project lined in united that have the green bars are ones that we have started on and we have begun on all of the projects that the commission has authorized in face one but as you can see here the schedule of these faces don't -- together

eveningingly and so we will coccyx back for guidance and on direction and that is where you see the break between phase one and two and will he and i believe it was our last commission meeting where the commission moved forward with the capital improvement budget and capital plan and that is represent there on the bottom with the $3.4 billion over ten years and that is covers many of our most important project but we have a big workload and we have two large project the digesters of course, which we discussed just no one now and the bay side improvement program and i want to bring jeep up to the podium to walk through with you details as we begin to implement all of these project:. . >> good afternoon jeep-commissioners and i'm going to walk you
