think you're going to have to get big businesses involved to get the big money to move this forward >> i do not disagree that we've got our work kit out for us. we have both some in-house expertise. and we have elaine who worked on similar programs so we have some inhighways expertise in this regard but but we're lefrn some programs that support the recreation and parks program. we are working with partners who have worked do with the giants. we're trying to billed that unhouse forum

>> what kind of challenges do i see? >> i think any time you're doing something new for example the cultural institution that has a base a large mailing list from which to draw you already know who that constituentcy is. this is not only a new terminal but a new park. there isn't it constituentcy to do the mailing we'll look to port community groups and people who have been so shift from the water promotions.

and other businesses and part of the ports history we'll be reaching out to. i think it will be a challenge to find that exactly group of people to work with >> san francisco bay railroad located at pier 896 rail yard. >> thank you.

we generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. we're proud of the fact that in 12 years of operating the railroad we haven't had a single violation. that's attributed to our community relations committee and it's part of our management

team. i mentioned local we are in the business of training railroad careers. training personnel to be in railroad careers. you may have heard about one that warren buffett bought. we have long term careers in the business. most of the majority of our employees can walk are bike to work. and what it does by having employees live locally it seriously cuts down on the

carbon footprint. we launch in the neighborhood of the bay point. the port has a requirement that local businesses use at least 60 percent truckers. virtually all the truckers we use live locally. we feel that our success should be a success shared by the community. we continue to support construction projects in the area and we're working with the port staff on iron ore. they announced down at pier 48 they're extremely interested in shipping by rail from the port.

we're working closely with them. we feel we have a very, very bright future. i started my career here in 70. i coordinated with the port and at that time, there was a person named jean who was the exclusive director and i've known many people and the board of supervisors knows this is a dream team staff you have. you have a fantastic staff and this happens because of you're great team. it's been an honor and privilege to work with you. i'll take any questions you have >> thank you.

>> one thing that occurred to me in terms of of the work that has been done to reduce emissio emissions. >> unfortunately, the first wave of the cap and trade is not for transportation but that's coming. it's what we call the low hanging fruit he thought emission reduction. we can beat the trucking so you can get the savings and you get 90 percent reductions in commissions what could be better than that. but it would be great if the stated and cap and a trade and the refineries are coming to us and saying we're going to do

this before cap and trade. but it's theizing on the cake. for example, this company is transporting steel by truck by it should be by ship >> you, you wouldn't is happen to offset it income by the port? >> in terms of our rent structure that we have it's a rent structure based on success the more cars we ship the more money they make. >> i do really want to thank

you one for being such a terrific tenant and for acknowledging our staff. i feel that way about the folks at the port but it's nice to have outside collaboration. >> i want to say what strikes me is the jobs, jobs, jobs. the citizens of san francisco want jobs and secondly what really it is important is local higher. there's a lot of people in this city that are hurting. i know that you go to lunches and dinners and give back to the community. and this is for commissioner murphy. this great thing we're trying to

do here i'm working with the maritime we want to do a major reform from the ports of san francisco. when we were in china last month we went that to a baseball game. and golfing there's tiger woods he's up there and i can't figure out what to do. commissioner murphy one of the problems we're having is clearly we've got to have more money in infrastructure. unfortunately, our politician in d.c. can't get focused. i think we have a gold mine right here. if we could get the infrastructure money to really get focused on the port.

i think that we can have a lot of maritime in iron ore and china is looking to get away from certain companies. we've got companies here to export. and we would be known in the community. i'm being a little bit bias. monique moore is one of the best directors in this area and a great staff. and i say that await apology >> thank you. >> thank you for both your presentations very educational for me. i was very, very ignore as far

as what you guys do and a well, we welcome you to come down to the port and take a ride that would be fantastic >> thank you very much. >> and i was just ulcer up on jim's presentation. thank you. just also want to thank you. not long ago you gave a water tour for me and commissioner aldz. the one thing that struck me was the tremendous opportunity for expanding those operations. now every time i look at the water i understand the tremendous amount of ships that are waiting to bring in the products. i want to say this is an

opportunity that will be a chance to make our port unique and uncomfortable >> will it will be there is an opportunity for export. there's a lot of export places in the west. but china needs a lot of things and they're now focusing on the u.s. and seeing there's a lot of opportunity like iron ore and other products. if so market can shift a little bit more and we can continue to build our project. we've been good to develop our products. we need the market to shift a little bit more. i think also for the great unbelievable at pier 80 i think

there's a great opportunity for bringing in more steel direct to rail and out to the u.s. via the rail infrastructure. and there's also a lot of projects that are ready to get underway like the trans bay terminal or the central subway will be receiving the first tunnel bore project. hopefully, we'll find a press release on that. but there's a lot of opportunity to bring the product in by water or if it's domestically source we would like to bring it in by rail from domestic sources. a lot of the trans steel needs tow be espoused by the federal funding. we want to take advantage of it

>> thank you. so we have some public comment. first (naming names) >> i've known david for fourteen years and i've also known murphy. i appeared with him when he used to sit on the building department inspection. and i look at you when i first saw you that's not the commissioner. but when you spoke i said, "yes that's that jollyly good fellow. may david and myself we go along ways but what's good about david he's a trained master planner.

so we meet sometimes, we talk a lot and we address issues mostly environmental issues. recently, i went to europe and all over europe they sponsor they foster they encourage people to travel by train. they have a whole multitude of trains that traffic at various speeds. for some reason we took to the cars and we know that that doesn't pay good dividend. you should see those goats over under they had 26 kids. i said david what do you feed

those gets to with? >> so david is always looking at good opportunities but he's also a coach a soccer coach. he gives a lot of times to people and those are the type of people we need. they have a good heart. i was about to leave after the last presentation but david came up to me and he said oh, i have a presentation so i said oh, i give you some of the irish luck. so commissioner go visit david place and one day visit my office and we'll talk about the fronti
