you've noticed on thanksgiving today, the project was completed the mirror portion the painting is all done despite the rain and the phasing second phase is whether or not permitting done by the end of the year. so we're hoping for a ribbon cutting celebration in early january we've gotten very good feedback. i want to say a special thanks to david the arts commission and the port commissioners several of you have given a number of our hours and sat on the selections panel. this is a very good and complete process and we're really existed to see. more to follow on the ribbon cutting by that's in early january. liquor store we've been able to

open the pier up in fisherman's wharf. and because of the pier 43 arts was bltd in 1914 for the beltway railroad and it was a car ferry slip so so a barge would pull up alongside the barge and the cars would be taken over to the rail line it was an important part of our history it was a cool building and, of course, the mechanism of the dock was raised by hand according to the tied. it's an old piece of our history. our port maintenance staff have completed the sub structure repairs and installed new handrails arrest so we're proud of them for doing that.

you may recall in 1998 there was a fire and the structure was still in disarray. those were pier the project mad project opened that area up and the views are terrific of fisherman's wharf >> of course, of alcatraz. so i'm independent to our maintenance and engineering staff and i encourage everyone to go down and have some holiday crab and 95 enjoy the great sites. next, i think in our packets commissioners and for the public out on the table is the scheduled of port commission meetings for 2014. as you recall we have one meeting meeting in january on the second and fourth tuesday's. one meeting in june, july and

august and two meetings in the next few months and we're proposing special meetings on november 18th and december 16th. so with the floor planning i guess we'll be able to have special meetings instead of our regular meetings. that's no action but you only a notice inform the public. anybody if the jerry my o'brien. lastly i'm sure oh, and commissioner caps isn't here >> why don't we postpone that. >> i know she wanted to speak in particular so the last thing i would recommend we adjourn our meeting in the american of nelson mandela. i want to say a few worts words

to whom mr. nelson mandela was although i think we know. he was born in july of 1918 and pass away december 25th at the age of '95 years old. he was a politician and philanthropist and most importantly president of south african that heer e he was south africa's first elected in democratic elections. he focused on dismanlz awe pardon and inkwaem e equality and participated in reconciliation not only in his own country but around the world. he had a role in the bombing

trial and was a participant in the trial. nelson mandela received over one hundred and 50 peace prices. so he's an icon in his legacy has helped us including he at the ports waterfront i hope it's already to yearn in his memory >> any public comment on the executive directors report. >> i'd like to speak to nelson mandela. our union the international longshoreman union we're the only union in 1984 that spoke out against awe pardon it was a

very broadly bold and we spoke out and there's a ship at the pier 80 that was alter south africa and our union reviewed to unload that ship. when nelson mandela got out of imprisoning he thanked harry bridges and this year the ambassador of south africa same to san francisco and came to local 10 with the nelson mandela humanitarian ward. i was speaking of nelson mandela because of his fear there were over 90 world leaders that doesn't speak to each other that showed up. president obama shock hands with him and we're thinking about the

ability to negotiate and one thing about arrogance i believe it's a downfall of any individual and nelson mandela was humble and people looked at up to nelson mandela. and i think in every city thought this country even in washington, d.c. nelson mandela was a man that was in 0 opposition people can learn to work together and he was able to do that and that's a rare ability. you can't go to macy's i didn't see or norway strm to buy that. and saying that our union the i organization w u 1934 before martin luther king and the kennedy's we integrated our union harry bridges had the same mind of nelson mandela. he looked at beyond color and

creed and even looked at with people he didn't arresting agree with to find a happy medium. especially our politicians in d.c. they can learn to work together for the common good of people and that's the one thing nelson mandela did. your by itself report card is when you die and people show up. they might have million dollars and millions of dollars but to pay respect to this man a humble man many of the people saw this man's heart. i have to say i'm proud of nelson mandela and that rare ability he had i wish more of us had it. thank you >> shall we go back to the last item on your guardian.

thank you sfmdz >> you recall les i didn't kate's and jim went and attend the port conventions the port of san francisco is a sisters of a number of ports around the ports we have our long time port association are with the port in japan. they were originally to host a couple years ago but they had the 82 name event so the meeting was postponed needle november. there was the port of same thing hi, and a saigon and the port of melbourne and i was a representative from the port of that area. there was a group of different

ports and we had great responses commissioner katz will talk about that and they deal with what they call the seawall there are actually above grounded 06 foot tiled walls. we had some good invests with customers as well. commissioner katz >> as executive director morris said there were a number of different ports represented at the sister convention. and i was struck not only from the hosts they were gracious but very, very informative. they put together an outstanding program in terms of having all the sister ports do the

presentations. one of the not worthy thing was all the sister ports were around the poetry of fire not only from climate change and rising sea level but earthquake. and japan was well aware of that. it impacts every port that participated in the convention. so that's what kind of prepareness the ports are doing. the first day we had a welcome recalls for speculation that was attended by council general's. it was a way to have dinner and meet with our folks. it was interesting the translation activities were one travesty would translate in one

language and they would transmit to the recipients it was an interesting way of converging we had to be mindful. it worked very well and they had some outstanding translateors. we also were met by some of the representatives from osaka sister city program they've moved over to the port of osaka. the first presentation was from the port of osaka to leadoff the convention that was our first full day. one i thought things that was under taken not something we could do in san francisco but they've taken an approach their combining several of the ports together to become that much

more competitive and rely on each other's strengthen. we recognize the strength of oakland but the port of osaka and port bay have worked together. la half has different issues perhaps than we do we are trying to get them to host a convention in paris but the next one will be in same thing hi, it's san francisco's sister city. commissioner adams has spent some time at the port of same thing hi. we presented i think one of the things we were interested in obviously was our break but also the various activities along our port and the on hills of the

america's cup but they're interested in seeing the activities along our port and our revenue stream has been fairing with the different activity. osaka has had some activities along their port one day they took us to an astounding aquarium a they've built the fourth of fifth largest in the world. it was wonderful it was based on the ring of fire approach so it madam clerk, please read all the sister ports. following our time in osaka we went back to 80 could we met with some representatives from sagging sag gay we met with representatives from the america

embassy the ambassador of japan was arriving so the attache came down after meeting at the airport but we met with various members of different aspects of the embassys work to shipping to tourism and let them, you know, or know what's happening in san francisco. they're excited about working with us and then we went to soul and met with additional customers there we met with hyundai and the extent of our services and what is happening with our trains. we talked about the amount of construction in the bay area and it's in everyone's interest to work with the port of san francisco, you know, with the

construction and apple and they're new facility >> and a variety of other things. their integrity and we've established a stronger relationship we provide them with updates and vice versa. jim stayed on and met with additional clients. it was an extremely informative time and kret relationships with our key customers in the panic realm >> any public comment. i want to make a comment but thank you that very much for that informative report and helping to forge our relationships and we looked to accountability trips. i recall the trip to new zealand's and new zealand came here for the america's cup.

i want to mention i've seen the are pier 92 artwork from the freeway it's beautiful and visible. i think it's something i hope to see more of those and it's exactly from what david told us it stand out and it's a beautiful piece of artwork i want to commend everyone it's and reality. thank you. >> thanks to david. any other comments commissioners otherwise >> just with respect to the installation and again, this has been said repeatedly but having been lucky enough to participate in this selection panel the quality of the artists artist was really really extraordinary abu they're working so closely with the community and incorporating that in their art.
