to realize this port goes to a wider use. so this bill really helped us to improve conditions. we know this is a water level front and our partners at mission rock have done a good job of looking at the water rise and this will be able to maintain this and adapt to rising sea levels. but i think this is one thing we can see happening longer than our waterfront that is currently

2:09 pm
possible in order to minimize the amount. we believe that that requested wording change is reasonable and we're relating that to be included 40 in your report >> the section remedies is myths rock final transaction should express that the seawall lot associates investment entitlement and horizontal costs and then the port the third remedies the port should explore rather than have the entitlement and infrastructure costs i should say fund all of the entitlement and horizontal infrastructure costs.
