hear at the port. and the remaining stacks, primarily are associated with transportation fuels and so you see the bulk are from the emission and they are associated primarily with the fuels for transportation and a little bit with propane which is the light red strip at the very top. and in addition i would draw your attention to the consequence of that big red stack, number two which is the set of emissions, and because of its size it is an important issue to try to get our hands around and the blue emissions is with the electrickcy and what you are seeing there, we have zero emissions and which is the reservoir in the past and they have had to supplement the energy source with what is offered referred to as the dirty energy and because they are greenhouse emissions and in

that last fiscal year you will see that it drops to zero and will remain zero, because the state is going it require that any supplemental energy be zero emissions with respect to the climate change. >> that is the port's profile. and within the context of the over all city, the port represents a little less than one percent of the city municipal craoenous galses and you will see that bright blue sliver up right near the 12:00 and so the mta and the reds in the upper right corner and the public health and the airport and the departments that by the very nature have the port as i say are less than one percent and but it is still? ing that we are trying to

control and reduce. >> it covers by 15 to 20 ordinances and these are just highlights and these bench marking and the lighting retrofit and these are efforts to conserve the energy as is the benefit and they are looking to minimize and that is the gh up there and the energy is an attempt to introduce clean energy and when we talk about the green building or lead certification we are combining the opportunity to develop the clean energy and introduce conservation and so the more energy that we save that is for example, zero emission and electricity, it is more available for the grid and other consumers to consume, reduced emissions electricity, alternate fuels is an attempt to introduce the again energy, and the ultimate fuels, source that we rely on mostly at the

moment is bio diesel made from recycled grease collected here in the city and it is one of the lowest alternative fuels for greenhouse gas emissions. i want to highlight one example for the greenhouse gas emission and we all hear about lead design and buildings get certified and there is a lot of fan fair around ha and these are combining the opportunities to confirm the energy and introduce the cleaner energy, and these four buildings represent the or those that have reached the status in the lead certification system and the nc in the middle column is new construction, and bdc is building design and construction, and at the bottom where it says ebom, that is existing building operation and maintenance and those are

subcategories to certify the different projects but all of these are still an example of what we can do with the clean building. loi the of this is attributable to the station engineers who go around daily and look into the boilers to make sure that they are working well, the report has five buildings in the boilers and you will see all of them here and you will notice in the top three have had new boilers replaced in the top two years and we have refurbished one in the southern water front in the last ten and the one remaining boiler that needs work is down in the southern water front in 501 caesar chavez and to have that daily maintenance. >> in the world of transportation, the well known effort is in the form of

commuting sxh the port conducted a survey in conjunction with the rest of the city a couple of years ago and we documented the various ways that the port can commute to work and what i wanted to call it here is that, the 77 percent take public transit walk or some of these alternatives to driving alone. it is a good mark, but we can do better, the private shuttle and taxi and limo and i cannot imagine that anyone from the port was taking a limo and i was out of space for the chart. this is a lesser known example of the port's efforts to try to reduce the vehicle trips. this is an effort at work and it is not commuting but when they go out they install the bike racks and so they will not need to make the multiple vehicle trips and they can head out to an area and send one out on a bike, and have another

crew at a location with the truck, and it is a proof of concept, and i don't know that most of them are doing this yet, but it is something that with the right balance of bike, towing trailers and tools is a really innovative effort and it was not required by any ordinance and it was the innovation of the carpenters and they did a great job there. >> this is an arial view of pier 96 and the reason that i am showing you this is because of the trees and if you look down and you can count at least a dozen trees and it is part of the forest of the city and part of the forest of the port when i mentioned clean energy and conservation, those are the twin pillars of trying to manage the greenhouse gases but there is a third, and the trees and the vegetation and absorbs the carbon and even though we are admitting the carbon, maintaining the forest is a fantastic way to take advantage

of sequestration. the port gardeners are responsible for a lot of this. a couple of years ago, they have documented over 1600 trees, by species and by block. and they are coordinating when they can with the city's urban forester and it was a fantastic effort, again not required by any ordinance or outside agency, but the initiative of port staff, the gardeners did a great job there. calling on the staff report as well, the city of san francisco has made a significant commitment to addressing the climate change through the climate adaptation but also through the greenhouse gas emissions and the city government, and the mayor's office and the board of supervisors has taken action and we have almost 20

ordinances that governor the climate action and the efforts made by the departments and the community has been represented and the san francisco grand jury is noted in the report took the request and doubted that it would be able to reach the goals and expressing the earlier resolution, and there is absolutely long term prudent in the energy conservation and long term investment in some of these buildings, it is also practical and we know that the climate change is going to have a connect and a significant impact on the port and it is something that we have to prepare for. this reminded me of an allegry it is a forest fire that breaks out and all of the animals are running around in a panic and they start to run away from the forest fire toward the edge of the forest and there is a lot

of crying about what can they do and the elephants are saying that maybe we can throw water on the fire but they are not doing anything and they just, they dance around and do nothing, for a long time and then they look up and see this humming bird with a beak full of water and it flies over and drops a few drops in and flies back and they look up and they laugh and they say, well, isn't that foolish, why are you doing this? and the humming bird says, because it is what i can do. and it would be something if we all did just what we can do and i get the sense that the city of san francisco has taken that commitment on very seriously, we are one small city, fewer than a million people, climate change is a global problem and does not have boundaries but, i had all levels of the city family government and the community and the departments, and the people are making an effort and we just wanted to bring that to your attention and hope that you consider that as future projects come your way.

thank you. >> public comment? >> commissioners? >> well i just want to say that i think that it is great to hear this report and i think that the comment at the very end in terms of doing what we can is very appropriate because it is a huge problem and we can do it in bite size and it is nice to know that we are on top of what we can do and even though we are a small contributor, i guess in san francisco, as far as your chart in saying that what we do as far as emissions but i know with the power and all of the initiatives that we have taken we have been a leader in this and applaud of what we have been doing at the port and hope that we can continue and be an example to others in the city. and to other cities, and the country, and in the world, thank you. >> i totally agree. and thank you, for that great report. >> on one of them, the city

overview? >> yes. >> why, you had other at 23.9 percent, i was just wondering what the other is? >> it was all of the other departments. >> okay. >> every department is i think going to this, i did in the staff report, but every department is mandated by the city ordinance to declare a plan and an annual update and we need, and we are actually in the throws that have right now. the department of the environment made a chart that shows all of the major contributions and the other category is all of the other documents in the city like the library and the jail, so just all of the others. >> all of the other city departments, yeah. >> thank you. >> and i think that is great, and i think that it is great that we are doing such a wonderful job and hopefully, if there is anything else that we need to do to make sure that we are showing our support that you bring that to our attention. because i know that it and we

are doing a lot but we can always do more. >> i echo my colleagues comments and the department of the environment gave the support on the first is ward back in 2009 at the green awards. >> yes, we were named climate champion and that was quite an honor. >> we thank you for that and it shows that you have continued that work and maybe they want to give us another award. but, a couple of questions, and i know that we are not subject to cap and grade, but comparatively speaking, it looks like we have done, in essence what should be done under the cap and trade in terms of sequestration, is there anything else in terms of being able to possibly plant more trees? have you looked into that opportunity or possibly partnering with the friends of the urban forest or any other entity to utilize? >> not that i am aware of.

i was anticipating that question, and i was hoping that carter might be here and he is out ill today but i think that tom, and among some of the other staff will be really helpful with that and he has partnered with the conservation core with some of the efforts and we might have a lot of opportunity, and the planning and development division here in the port would have a lot to offer in that area. >> thank you. >> and then, so on one of the charts though, is that cng, do we get much cng is there a way of increasing that, or is that a cleaner, fuel compressed natural gas? >> i don't know, if it is a cleaner fuel than bio diesel and we can look into that. i do, and i will have to get back to you. >> and so they will be used by the diesel in the same situations that we would use the cng. >> and yeah part of it is on the vehicles that you are purchasing, a lot of the maintenance vehicles used to

be, with cng and they are finding that with the bio diesel they have a little more flexibility and the option to purchase. >> okay >> and then, it looked like we saw a lot of advances from lighting retrofit for the existing buildings and you know, much of the biggest gains can be done from the building, retrofits as opposed to new construction and they can get the great strides and retrofit which is it also very closely and are we exploring opportunities to get the outside funding or looking at ways that we can perhaps do more extensive building retrofit to reduce the emissions. >> i don't know the answer to the funding, and you know, you think that you are referring to the 2007 retrofit where he we from the staff report where we retrofitted the buildings with the light and that was the partnership with the pec and they did an investment trade audit and we were able to make the tremendous strides there and the rest and the two challenges there are going to

be the funding and the staff time, the time that it takes to conduct, inventory of buildings and fixtures with almost 160 buildings that are subject to these kinds of improvements is tremendous and so we will look into that. >> okay. >> and i guess that i was looking at not just the lighting retrofit but actually everything but that is often more costly but we can see pretty significant gains if they are just from insulation and other things. >> the area where we are, working is with the commercial building energy performance ordinance and we have some more work to do on that and a lot of the buildings that are occupied are occupied by tenants and they are in the better position to provide the information that would guide that kind of an investment and we are working with them to try to get that information up to speed so that we have the information to make the decisions.

>> okay. >> again, i am sort of thinking out loud and maybe there are some opportunities when you are doing the leasing on the commercial spacing and they alloweded tis to have them be, at a higher standard in terms of energy efficiency. and i don't know if that is something that we do, but we may want to look into that. >> and we actually do do that and we have been in the process of doing something similar with the solar panels but, also at pier 9 with the auto, and so we are looking at those where we can and on the grants question, traditionally the grants go through the pec and that is how we become participants in them and so we will certainly revisit that and i will just remind us all that we are about to have solar panels working at pier 1 and they have been installed and they are finalizing the details. >> thank you for that. >> good, believe it or not we don't have enough wind for wind generated power. hard to imagine, some days when

you are standing down here. i thank you for all of the information and over all what the port has been doing to date and once again, the colleagues pointed out is setting the stnd ard so that other cities will take a look at what we are doing and follow our lead and our sister ports perhaps might take note of that as well. so thank you. >> okay. item ten, new business? >> is there any public comment? >> seeing none. >> okay. >> commissioner? >> i have just one new business item and just so you are aware, i was actually in hong kong for the holidays. and this was on my own. but, i detected an opportunity to contact some development and some other folks that monique and i had a chance to meet when they were in ocman two years

ago in the water front and a couple of things that we did do and we did come back and because it is always nice to compare what we are doing with the other major cities of the world and so i had a chance to visit the cruise ship terminal. and i also had a chance to meet with their development and i also part of the head of their fund advisory committee and so on that just to let you know, they have the number of cruise ship shows and about 65. and they just spent a billion u.s. dollars on their cruise ship terminal and so you can imagine for a billion dollars you get a larger terminal than what we spent, xh i don't know at the end maybe it is less than 150 million by the time that we get through with phase two. and so i pointed that out to them and they sort of looked at me and it is a beautiful terminal. and it is huge. and i mean that they can accommodate the larger ship and

they have three and they had the most intraindicate and i don't know what the docking is going to be but they have the latest technology of this gang way that moves up and down and it is fancy and they have the cruise ships at once but like i said the cost is staggering. and the moment that it is a very empty building and they have more work to do to put in amendties and it is located in hong kong at the orange old airport. and which is kind of like an island isolated away and so it is not like us, where we are in the middle of the fisherman's wharf where the tourists come off and they are in the area of the city and in the downtown. and so they are going to have the challenge of determining of how to trying to figure out what to do and trying to build the retail within the cruise ship terminal but i think that the challenge will be is these operators to only have 65

accrues ships and what they will do for the rest of the time and also trying to do the events and probably could do some events and things like that and the challenge getting the retail tenants because it is not close to anything and it is isolated and i think that is an advantage that we have in terms of the location which really struck me and they are trying to figure that out and it seems like some of this planning is now coming in, after they already build the terminal. the architect is the same that built the airport and i remarked to them and because everything that they have build here and they have lines and everything and we have not done that because we have not finished our terminal. >> it looks like just like the airport. and it is the same architect. because it feels like an airport. i don't know if that is the fueling one wants to have but that is what it looks like. and they were gracious and i had three or four people accompany me and showed anywhere some of their water

front is now n hong kong it is an island and there is some on the other side and there is water front everywhere. and they have a harbor front advisory commitment with the chair, and so, the first is to define what is the water front? >> right now all of the pieces belong to the government in terms of the agency and not all of it is private or public. and in fact if it is you know what the pla is, and just the people lib vasing army, and prc, china, and actually, owns the buildings right on the water front and so there is a lot of different interesting and amendies around and so they are trying to define whether it is the water front, and should they have they are trying to figure out the space and we

have been trying to do both at the same time and i think that it is important to recognize what san francisco has accomplished in terms of doing this in a balanced way and they are going back and retrofitting and trying to figure out whether the public wants the water front and they don't have it and now that is the issue in hong kong and the good thing is that they have a lot of money. and i guess that they did not borrow that one million, they just spent it and so that was just, you know, came out of nowhere, and so they are trying to decide, whether they should have the water front authority or independent authority with their own staff. and the head of the committee, and generally and he asked me what i said.

they have freeways that go around and make the transportation work and so what they want to do is develop what they jokingly said would be the blue line and they will have to do something interesting below the freeway to make it more interesting for their public. because they want to build the things that will bring the people to the water front and the restaurant and retail, and promanade and the open space and that is what is something that they are grapling with and i think that what i walked away with is what i am saying here today is because sometimes we get caught up with our own debates about what we should do here in san francisco and all of the issues that we have and i think that explaining what we do in san francisco to the head of the commission and he was going, that is great i wish that we were there.

sometimes you have to remember where you are and what we should be grateful for and i think that we have the balanced development here and i think that we have a clearer structure and a process of how we are going forward with this and of course it is much hard ner hong kong to define what the water front is because they do have a much wider area and so you know, they don't know how far there is not a sea wall or a state lands commission that defined this a long time ago and so they didn't have a big debate on what belongs and what does not and what agency gets to manage and where the funding and the staff and etc.. and right now it is just mingled with a lot of the board and the development and the department, and the various entities in the hong kong government and so it will be interesting to watch them. and i think that we felt, that you know, there was a lot of things that they were interested in understanding how we approach things in san francisco and so, i did volunteer your name monique that they should keep in contact with you and touch with the commission. and in terms of what we could learn from each other and i just wanted to report that because i think that also is a credit to what we do here in

san francisco. and they were all eager to hear how we are approaching what we are doing here with the water front and how they could learn from us and as i said, i think that there are some things that we can learn from them, as well going forward. so that is just wanted to give that brief report thank you. >> thank you. >> informative. >> and any other new business? >> just want to take a very quick moment to thank sue hester who has joined us many and people often i think wonder whether public comment has an impact and the last item that we had on the calendar, 9 a, in large part i called for periodic ep dates on what we are doing in terms of climate change in part due to comments that sue hester made at one of our prior meetings, yes, those that do come and speak we do appreciate it and do listen and want to thank you for public comment. so, any other new business? >> seeing none, have a motion to adjourn? >> so moved. >> second. >> meeting is
