[speaker not understood] is our national secretary treasurer [speaker not understood]. we are here today to bring to the commission's attention four issues on environment related that we have been working with your staff on at darling international pier 92. i'll list those four off quickly. if you have questions i'm more than happy to answer them. the four issues welch are storm drains on a.m. adore, on which we are loading railcars, four

of our main products, yellow grease. those storm drains are largely unprotected. we do not have a retaining wall between our loading area and storm drains. the tank inside the walls of the facility has a retaining wall around it about which you guys were briefed when the bio-diesel amendment to the lease for darling international was negotiated in 2009 and 2010. that retaining wall is in a terrible state of condition and certainly would not be able to retain or contain a spill of one of our very large tanks. the third issue is one of recycling and composting. our facility is not up to city code around those requirements. we don't do any composting at darling international, believe it or not. and finally, the order complaint hotline which the company put into its -- basically has a plan that it has on file attached here, at least if i understand this all

correctly, where they offer solutions to the problems of odors lapping over the neighboring community. and they're supposed to have a hotline 1-800 number. it has been out of service for at least two months, maybe longer. came to maya attention months ago. we notified the company as quickly as we could ~. on all these issues we've been working toward solutions with the company. since 2010 we've been notifying them, leaving a paper trail. as of this year we got in contact with the port staff. we've been working with shannon and richard and i'm very happy to report they're doing a great job. they were very responsive and professional in working with us. they came down to our site. did an inspection, spent good time with us to understand the issues. so, i just wanted to keep you guys briefed. we're working towards viable solutions that help the company, you know, be a good environmental steward, but also address the concerns of the community about the environment. lastly, we also allow that kind

of question about prevailing wage and i just want to publicly thank both peter dealy and i believe his name is jeff bower for their very professional response on that issue with us. that's it. thank you for your time. >> thank you for updating us. is there any other public comment? okay. >> item 9a, executive director's report. >> good afternoon, commissioners, members of the public, and port staff. thank you for coming today. on such a gorgeous day into the dark of the ferry commission building room. i have a couple of things on the executive director's report today and i want to start by acknowledging commissioner brandon. at the last meeting it had escaped my notice you started your new term with us, its was a continuum. i do want to take a minute and acknowledge all that you have done for the port and all of the time that you've been with us. and thank you for continuing to do it. for those of you that don't

know, commissioner brandon was fridayertion appointed to the port commission in 1997 by then mayor willie brown. is that correct? nod your head. thank you. she has been working really hard with the port staff and the port commissioners through really i think almost anything that could begin to be described as a renaissance at the port. 1997, as you may recall, is when the waterfront land use plan was -- e-i-r was certified and we were able to begin really developing port property and turning into some great public space and reuse. and there aren't too many people that have been here on the port staff and certainly not on the commission to have seen that change as close as you have, commissioner. and without your championship and your guidance, it's hard to know what it would be today. but certainly you can't not be on the promenade today and see all the desperate people

coming. we seem to be flooded with foreign languages again right now which is always kind of fun. people are heading all over up and down the waterfront from pier 48 north to fisherman's wharf. so, just want to thank you for your stewardship, your guidance, the incredible amount of time you give to this. you have a lot of other charities and nonprofits that you're part of and that you continue to be so engaged with the port is a great gift to san francisco. so, on behalf of all of us on the port staff, please forgive me for not saying this in july, and welcome to your new term. thank you so much for being willing to serve. would you all join me, please? (applause) >> and [speaker not understood], appreciate that as well. thank you. so, some exciting news. as you know -- i'm going to go over the port. commissioner brandon can speak to this better than i can. to reactivate the pier 70 site which is almost 68 acres. it's been a very long time since that property saw the

types of public -- that used to be there when she was in active shipyard, especially during world war ii. and it's part of choosing for city development as our developer of the waterfront property there, one of the things that was very attractive about them, among many, was their sense of place making and the i woulderctiontion that they've been doing spearheading that and some of their other development projects, and certainly a big part whatv we hope to see at pier 70 to have that dream realized. so, they've already begun, even though they are not officially holders of the property. they've had some great ideas that they brought forward to the port to implement. and the first of which is to hold something called the urban air market. this coming sunday, sunday, august 18th, it will be at pier 70 in building 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for those of you that are not familiar with what the urban air market is,

it's a san francisco-based event that is described as being a curated marketplace for sustainable design. so, place making being one of the new terms, curated marketplace is another new term. effectively it's a festival and it's a festival of 120 local sustainable vendors. they will be offering clothing,
