>> june 4th meeting. >> thank you. item 5, resolution authorizing the issuance of not to exceed $25,300,000 aggregate principal amount of port revenue bonds for the purpose of financing capital improvements related to phase ii of the james r. herman cruise terminal project located at pier 27 and for improvements to northern waterfront historic piers; authorizing the port to cause the preparation of such documents necessary in connection with the issuance of said port revenue bonds; stating the official intent of the port to reimburse itself with tax-exempt bonds for expenditures made or to be made for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the project; authorizing the port to borrow funds on an interim basis from the city's commercial paper program; and related matters. item number 6, ordinance appropriating $34,722,930 consisting of $25,265,500 of 2013 port revenue bond series a and b proceeds, $849,680 of interest earnings, $6,445,220 from 2010 revenue bond funded projects, $1,689,074 from 2012 certificates of participation series b funded projects and $473,456 from port capital funded projects to the port commission in fy 2012 - 2013 for the development of the cruise terminal project at pier 27 and the northern waterfront historic pier structures repair project. >> thank you. ms. forbes, welcome back. >> thank you. good afternoon again. the port has completed phase 1 of the cruise ship terminal, the james r. herman cruise terminal at pier 27 and is putting in place financing necessary to complete phase 2 of the project.
1:35 pm
first, the port looked to all other available sources before proposing new revenue, port revenue bonds and the port is also requesting a reallocation of existing taxable debt to taxable projects in the northern waterfront which i will describe. items 5 and 6 allow us to authorize newport revenue bonds and allow us to on an interim basis utilize the city's commercial paper program. and item 6 is an appropriation ordinance of 34.7 million of which 25.3 is new rev nigh bond funds is 9.4 is reallocation. these sources are intended for two purposes. face 2 of the cruise terminal and northern waterfront historic pier projects. the reason for bringing these items now is in advance of having the pos and sale documents is to keep the cruise terminal schedule so we can award big contracts.
1:36 pm
so, that is the purpose. we'll be back in the fall with the request for sale. just a bit about the facility. as you know, it was completed. phase 1 was completed february 28 of this year. the event authority is using the facility now as the america's cup village and will do so until october 1st. phase 2 of the project consists of building out all the maritime improvement, the park, northeast wharf tip, ballards provisioning et cetera to make it a functioning cruise ship terminal which is its primary purpose and then we'll begin to see about 200,000 visitors to san francisco through our cruise lines. it's a 9,000 square foot building. it's got a large gta, 2-1/2 acre park plaza and a tip at the end. so, it's quite a large facility. we already talked about the design services. in terms of the budget for the
1:37 pm
project, it was phase 1 cost $66.31 million. total project is estimated to cost 112 million, but we added a 2 million dollar contingency to manage project risk in the budget analyst report. this slide shows phase 1 ask title 1 and 2 project costs [speaker not understood]. the budget analyst report notes that we have all the appropriations for the project, but 23.78 million. the supplemental before you would make that final appropriation. other sources for the project are varied and it's been great for the port to have support in building this project. we have 58% port sources, 16% a passenger facility charge. we've done some work on how much we can charge, reasonably charge our passengers to help us repay the cost of this facility. with the help of san francisco
1:38 pm
voters in the last clean and save parks bond, 15% of the project supports those park and open spaces. we have a city contribution of 5% and a fema grant paying for 6% of the project. here is the sources and uses which is also outlined in your budget analyst report. 34.7 million sources for 23.7 78 for the cruise ship terminal, 7 million for the northern waterfront historic pier project. the rest were debt issuance and authorization costs. the reallocation is coming from previously authorized bonds, but we didn't use either because the projects were scoped down or we had cost savings. mostly from using our own crews to perform work. so, we're very pleased to be able to reallocate existing taxable debt to the northern waterfront pier project. this project is really to help us release the former america's
1:39 pm
cup site and look to improving and reopening pier 31 which is currently closed to use. these were also private leasing activities. we're looking to [speaker not understood] in the near term. again, support private leasing activities, ensure revenues that are assumed in our five-year financial plan to meet our contributions to capital. and to rehabilitate facilities and generate new revenue. pier 31 is a very promising example for us. as i said, it's closed to use. we've done a lot of investigation and learned we can repair the facility and get it open without triggering a very expensive substructure and seismic work. we're projecting costs of 5.2 million and we're saying that the project with leasing for light industrial will pay back its debt service in year 11, debt service and coverage and start to generate positive cash flow to the port. so, we're very excited about the opportunity to save this historic structure. now to the port's ability to look forward as a proposal.
1:40 pm
right now we have 75.1 1 million in obligations and that's including the soon to be sold cops for 2013 with the proposal we'll have a debt portfolio of about $100 million and 99.4. ~ the city's -- the poc we're proposing will repay approximately 76% of the debt service. so, prior -- in april of 2012 before we started seeing a lot of economic improvement, the port's net revenues were estimated at $17.8 million for bonding capacity of 42.6 million. the recent five-year financial forecast which is showing improvement in the economy and some strength we've had in our operating budget show net revenues of 21.2. so, our bonding capacity is growing. after the proposal, the port's contribution not repaid by the pfc will bring down our capacity to 47.6 million which
1:41 pm
is still healthy for us and will maintain coverage ratios way in excess of our covenant requirement and in excess of our port policy. so we're looking at 2.9 for coverage. so, we're feeling very comfortable that we can afford this proposal. and this estimate doesn't include new revenue from pier 31. so, with that, we'll answer any questions you have. >> okay. thank you, ms. forbes. colleagues, any questions on items 5 and 6? okay, seeing none, can we go to our budget analyst report, mr. rose. >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee. on page 13 in table 2 of our report, we have examined the requested $34.7 million and find those expenditures to be reasonable. on page 16 of our report, we note that the estimated debt service on the proposed bonds is $1.46 million.
1:42 pm
that's annual debt service and over the 30-year term of the bonds, the estimated principal is 24.3 million. interest is 18.9 million, nearly 19 million for total debt service of 43 million 2 66,85 4. we recommend that you approve this legislation. >> okay, thank you very much, mr. rose. colleagues, any questions? okay, seeing none, we'll open up to public comment. anybody wish to publicly comment on items 5 or 6? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> colleagues, can i have a motion to move these items forward to the full board? so moved by supervisor avalos. we can do so without opposition. [gavel] >> mr. clerk, can you please call item number 7. >> item number 7, resolution authorizing the port to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $250,000 from the california cultural and historical endowment under the california clean water, clean air, safe neighborhood parks, and coastal protection act of 2002 for the pier 70 union iron works machine shop stabilization project for the period of june 15, 2013, through december 31, 2014.
