during our delivery phase we'll see how people are using this space. so as i said the ferry plaza is beloved and used by 20th century hundred people but who other critic projects can we do. so we're proposing movie nights tan go dancing. ice cream socials and harvest projects. during this phase we're talking about adding better lighting, fry y - our operating exception

to a separate the programs during the contradiction phase and refine the permit process and define up front the program requirement. monitoring and progress are key we're going to have online surveys. we also want to come the core relaying of the barricades that will define our areas so we can better manage all the areas. we're going to have 64 park spaces and it would be operated

monday through friday and there are p will be revenue from the parking would under write costs of the improvement. and these are some of the site plans that are set up. with that we'd like to open up the meeting for any discussion or questions. we welcome our commitment and feedback. thank you >> any public comment? that i i have dave. >> good afternoon. i'm the exclusive director of quasi we're the operators of the farmer's market that brings the 25 thousand people on saturdays. we love the way we can activate

of space by we'd love to say a encounter use of the space when we're not using it. so we fully support this proposal because we believe that would be to the benefit of everyone who operates from this site to have those additional nights like movies and dancing would simply add to the attractiveness of the site. we'll love to see other improvements that would benefit our operation such as better lighting so people can take moveable tables and chairs so guests have those opportunities to linger on our site.

and we believe that a managerable parking program will support the businesses on the other dies of the week. and to generate the other revenue and we fully endorse this activity >> next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioners tom exclusive demeanor of living city. i was on the sales tax committee and we put a lot of money towards budget transportation projects in san francisco. i see that i think incredible strongly that this plaza should

be an open space. you've got a train running underneath us right now. we built the water front street car we're expanding ferry operations out here. it's a transit rich place probably in the entire continent. if there was an activation project we've been all for it it should be an open space. unfortunately we've got a parking proposal. every week day it will be parking for 12 hours so when it's not programmed the default

is parking. let's take a space not dedicated to parking and turn it into a parking lot that will generate thousands and thousands of trips so people walking and cycling will having have all those cars and it will be less safe. it's not in keeping with any of your plans. i've included some policy plans there i was hoping the staff would have policy. it's a lost opportunity. it should really, really be a great open space. we've consistently supported both parks funds and supported the parks fund.

let's plan a world-class space it would draw so many more people f to the ferry building. can you imagine that? it's an incredible opportunity. no city would do this with this many advantages. let's have this discussion. granted this is not what it should be. but let's do it in a way that's keeping with the city's ports plans. thank you >> any public comment? >> hello my name is bobby winning son i own the newspapers

that you mentioned earlier. i own a store here in the believe we sell the ferry tickets. i'm authenticly in favor of what jan is proposing. we've very lucky to have jan at the ferry building. it's long overdue i share with tom, i admire a lot. it's ashamed full it's as crude as it is. the doorstop to san francisco. but that's a long woo to $1 million. i've been trying to gal in his the court for tom's vision.

jan's talking about an important step. now parking is an - we need some sanity regarding the traffic that's out there right now. it's a good plan an overdue plan. really overdue. i look forward to getting this plan approved. >> any further public comment? seeing none >> first of all, this does require imply action this is an inform presentation. i'll love to have the

commissioners all here we need to have a discussion. i appreciate the presentation and the appreciate the democracy for and against but i appreciate a little bit more what the commissioners have to say. i think there's a lot more questions that need to be answered and i think we need to have more information to the staff fooernl it. i welcome both sides. >> i concur with the commissioners remarks. i want to see this area - used

for this area. it's long overdue but there are issues i want to explore. i'm concerned with the legal obligations to the policies that were raised that could come back to us in a future meeting. i'm looking forward to getting this further utilization for that and thank you for all the work >> item a supplemental appropriation for the first one issuance of the general

obligation bond. >> good afternoon. just one second while i pull up my power point. okay. as the commissioners are well aware in november of 2012 san francisco voters approved as

opposed to b to if you happened but the parks projects and the ports waterfront parts. this general obligation of $195 million for port projects open spaceport projects. for the benefit of our new port commissioner mr. murphy i want to give a little bit of our open space plans. the map in front of you shows 3 types of port pronldz. the first one in erroneously shows the major park - i'm sorry in green are prior to the port bonds. that was over decades of getting those funds.

in purple for the first time san francisco voters approved the bonds in 2008 and this shows park projects that are receiving bond from that issue. and you'll see on the map the completed pier 43 the gate way and the under construction project that were in the orange is the site for the 2012 parks bond investment. and the northeast plaza you've haired about and the 27 and 29 pier and pier 70 port. this graphic really shows that

the next time of the open space are continuance along the waterfront. we're very grateful to the voters. so the purpose of this item today is to get your first look at this allocation of the proposal. specifically we're looking for a 29 tip. and $600,000 to the creek improvements for a total of 18.2 million. and this is over the two years. the slate of bond projects that we will accomplish through this go bond is approximately over 5

years beginning earlier this year and concluding with the last park close out at 2017. there's quite a bit of information in the park project. the total cost is 17 million and 14 million arrested spent for the planning. the design is scheduled for completion in 2014. for the park in this pier could include the machine shop court yard. we're looking for the piers that benefit the community and we

estimate points completion in january 2017. $600,000 for this sale of creek improvements. the project we estimate will be applied in 2017. so in summary staff has completed a plan to get the open spaces and building on the work that has already gone and/or and we're looking to sell 18.2 million in the first bond sale. and a tip at 2729 and we'll return to you in the future for the next bond sale and the open plays projects. we have staff here david and dean i believe he's still here and they can answer any

questions about this project. thank you for your consideration >> is there a motion? >> motion to accept. >> i'm actually pleased to see that looks like almost everything will be done in the next 2 to 5 years that's tremendously excited that's a rapid turn around. going back to phase two i wonder in you could articulate a little bit more about the projects in phase two and if there's any funding coming in prior to the issuance of bonds or is that

subsequent to the bond sale in >> we're looking for community planning project to see how best to direct those dollars for crime scene cove park and pier 40 park and the blue greenway and park improvements and dave can answer many more questions about those specific project. we don't need the fund today but i'm going to ask david to answer the questions >> and more about the timing. >> david with the planning and

development. you'll see in the first issuance there's planning money in plays for the pier 70 other than crane park. that will allow t us to continue with the design work. in addition there's design work for creek improvements which again is initiating the design plans and next it the design and policewomen's of those projects. this park is linked to the mission bay and we want to make certain we don't start that without understanding what the bay shore park is going to look like. and the green water cove park we thought we can benefit when we see how the other neighborhoods

park looks like. $8 million for the other park we're using the $8 million that goes toward the construction of the project >> and the city is very willing to entertain earlier bond sales or we could link up with another department 7-eleven market e selling bond if we advance those projects. we never want to sell the bond before we get the promise we don't want to over sell >> that make sense. i'm still hoping i'll see a dog park show up at the creek cove.
