being offered. one of the things that we are actually going to be able to do now through peef in our strategic planning through our logic model is to have tsa's, teachers on special assignment, because of curriculum instruction design intervention specific curriculum that is going to establish some super standards that are aligned to the common core for standards that is more relevant for the students. you can call me and i would love to talk and do it. and to get your input and maybe be on the focus group to start to develop that curriculum is that we realize that our students who are in credit recovery might need a different type of in instruction that they receive in a regular school day and we want toen sure we are using a smarter approach to

addressing those needs of students. we are a firm believer in that and we are excited with how we are going forward with that. thanks. >> okay. seeing no further comments, thank you mr. coffman and ms. chan for the presentation. our next select committee will be on the third wednesday of march now. and we have on deck we have the children's fund hearing that supervisor avalos and yee have called for and hopefully the controllers office will have finished the data for all hearing request that supervisor mark farrell has called for. >> we want to do the after school hearing in april because kevin will not be here for the march meeting. i think we better check on that because if it's the third

week, he might be here. i will have him check for that. >> it's during spring break. >> let me check. we don't want to do the hearing until he's ready. although actually they are very ready, but he wants to be here. >> i know for april i was planning to call a hearing on summer school programming and summer jobs. so we include that with after school for all and we can have a robust discussion on it and in march we'll have the hearing on the children's fund. that is a large discussion itself. we were hoping a lot of young people would be able to engage in that hearing. for those that are not going away they will be able to participate in that conversation then. okay. so seeing no further items,

>> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm hear with a request. that the 15-year review of the water front land use plan, which was technically due last year, be expedited. and prioritize so that it is available to the public preferably before the june third primary election. i think that it is really important that the public to understand the achievements of the port for the last five years since the last review and i think that it is really important to understand the challenges you face and the opportunities that are possibly ahead of you. and i hope that the staff can fit it in with all of the other things they have got going, because i really do think that you need to show how you have

achieved a lot this last five years and how important and how relevant the water front land use plan is to the port and to the city, thank you. >> thank you. >> any other public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. call the next item. >> 6 a, executive director's report. >> good afternoon, commissioners, members of the public, port staff, thank you for joining us here today. commissioners i have a few items on my report today, and the first thing that i wanted to do was point out our lovely new monitors so that you probably can't see them, but for the benefit of the folks in the room we should have a little bit more clarity and our public presentations and also, it looks like the camera zoom in closer on amy and my faces which we will have to remedy quickly. and ilean is a little bit. but i am pleased about that and the equity office partners got new chairs and we have freshening in the commission room and my thanks to everyone

involved in that, the first item on the report is to discuss mayor edwin lee's executive director on water conservation. in the wake of governor jerry brown's declaration related to the drought, the mayor lee issued a directive to the departments and i think that it is important to just review a couple of the attributes of that executive directive. there are five that i would like to mention, the first is that mayor lee has directed all of the departments to further reduce the consumption of water by ten percent. all departments are to develop a water conservation plan by august 1, 2014, all departments are to educate staff and visitors on water conservation practices. all departments are to explore the use of non-potable water for street cleaning and all departments are to develop alternative sources of water supply working for the san francisco public utilities commission.

since the directive was issued on february 10, port staff has undertaken a number of measures so far, first and foremost we have established a water conservation task force within all of the multidivisions of the port so that we cannot only brain storm good ideas but also get them executed. secondly, we are in the process of conducting an assessment of our water use by port operations. to make sure that we can identify opportunities for new efficiencies. and we have posted water conservation notices and adherence to the directive at all of the port's offices at pier 1, 50 and south beach and fisherman's wharf and sent out notifications to the tenants, we have rolled out a new car wash plan it typically use recycling, but we will reduce so if they look dirty they probably are. we rolled out the new plan and we actually had one of our new

machines that cleans the sidewalk but collects the water and reuse its so we are not wasting as much water as we have in the past. we are looking at upgrading some of our wash racks to a recycle system and we are looking at low flow fixtures and we are looking at different ways to irrigate port, landscaping and talking to the tenants and others about how to conserve water. and then, we have explored not rather successfully, but we explored the idea that potentially cruise ships could fill up their water outside of california, preferably to the northwest, unfortunately by the time they travel to san francisco they are in need of water, that is probably not a viable conservation measure. we explored the possibility of metering and charging supply to the fishing vessels and that turned out not to be work out

and we are looking out for our other types of things. so we will be working on this in the coming months, i think that the public will notice some of our conservation efforts immediately and we will be reporting back to the commission as we develop a plan in accordance with the mayor's directive. >> the next thing that i wanted to report on is that the port is participating in a city wade series of tsunami training sessions that will culminate in an actual exercise in late march. so we have been working on a different attributes of a tsumani seminar and we posted the seminar with the local, state and federal agencies such as fema the coast guard and the california geological survey and many of the city's first responders to figure out what it looks like and since the entirety of the port lays inundated session, most is focusing on property.

there will be a table top exercise next week where participants come together to discuss scenario and what out comes they may make, and then at the end of the month, march 26 to 28 there will be a three day functional exercise and the city's emergency operation's center will be stood up and opened and we will go through the drills of the tsunami alert and the warning period, and the tsunami response and the return to operations. and all of the port staff will be participating in various rolls and certain staff will be posted at the emergency operations center and i will be participating in something called the policy group which is a group that the mayor con convenients of the city department heads and advisers to give direction to the various city staff. and we would like to include all of you, in terms of as we would if it was a real world event in terms of the notification and so, if it is all right with you, we will be notifying you as the event unfolds as we would if it were

real and within that notification, you will be able to provide us any direction or just find out what we will be doing or our part plug in to the joint communication center which is where the information usually comes out in an emergency, our po will participate in that for example. and so, towards the end of march i will try to give you another reminder and you will be getting a tsunami call if you don't want to participate, let me know, we thought that we need to test out the ability to reach out to the commissioner and make sure that you are in the loops. and i would like to thank samsum the director of homeland security. and the city exercises something large once a year and we are pleased that it is based on the port's operations and recovery, so we are happy about that. >> next, i would like to report on what we have been doing as part of black history month, we were honored to host a black

maritime festival this past week on february 21, first during the month we have been able to show case some exhibitions of the african american freedom trail and there are wonderful banners hanging in pier one, it depicts the trail of the generations of black pioneers experienced since the 1700s when they came upon the shore of san francisco bay. this trail is a result of several scholarly conferences and it is sponsored by the national park service, and the african american freedom trial, the san francisco travel, and pier 39 and blue and gold fleet and many others, so if you have not had a chance to see the exhibition, it is hanging in the pier one lobby and encourage you to see it. on february 21st, we hosted the black maritime heritage festival and was cooked off by commissioner cohen and an

historian provided an overview of the experience, which outlined the contributions by many black americans to california's rich maritime history, william alexander during the pregold rush era and it ended in march to the new statue of captain ledastorf, and it is located in pine street in the financial district. and we hope that it is something that we can continue going forward. also, been asked by the department of recreation and parks to announce that their summer san francisco resource fair will be march 8, at balboa high school from ten a.m. in morning to two p.m., this is the annual, festival and i am sorry, the annual resource fair where they put out all of their opportunities for children and families for the summer, and be the camps or the summer programs, or recreational programs. and there will be 160

exhibitions at balboa high school on saturday, march 8th from ten to two. >> and so, this marks the 6th year of sunday streets, and which opened in 2008, and so far there have been 44 sunday streets events covering 133 miles, and that is kind of cool. and the first sunday streets of 2014, will be held on sunday march 9th between eleven and 4 p.m. and it will run along the embarcadero at powell street through king's street and on to third and mission bay and so it ends pretty much at the southern point of the sea wall lot 337 and as usual, there will be a ton of activists along the embarcadero and people will be encouraged to walk, run and bike and whatever they like except use their car. and on sunday, march the ninth and the next sunday streets will be sunday, may the 4th, and that will connect the dog patch and the bay view

neighborhoods and so i will be bringing up more of that as we get closer. next i wanted to mention that we just found out, late or early in the breaking news, i guess that it is, that the san francisco port is cruise travel's port of the month for its march and april 2014 addition. i don't think that this is actually... >> lower to get on the camera. >> that wonderful zoom. i don't think that it is actually on the news racks yet, is it niek? >>... >> so it is really a great four-page article which is locating the various sites within san francisco and those within a one mile radius of the cruise terminal and nearly every cruise line in the west coast have crewses that call on san francisco and lists out all 12 of them and encourages the passenger to call upon san francisco, so we are pleased about that and my kutoses to

mike and the mari time team for making that happen for us, and i don't know if you can see it but it is a beautiful picture of one of the cruise ships on to the golden gate bridge and it does not get better than that. >> lastly, two more things and imented to make a plug and we talked about this at the last commission meeting but tomorrow at 5:30 we will be cutting the ribbon on the rise and the new art feature at the silos at pier 92 and it is supposed to rain and it will be a wonderful ribbon cutting nonetheless and the lights will be on, rain, snow, sleet and whatever that phrase is and sun, if you can join us tomorrow at 5:30, if you can't keep a look out and the lights will be on most evenings from sunset to sunrise and so it should be really cool >> for those attending there will be a tent. >> yeah, for those attending there will be shelter. and i don't know if we have other than that.

but, yeah, renee never does a bad job on these things so we will be well taken care of, so it will be a treat for those of us who can attend. >> and lastly, on, i didn't write down the date. on march first and second, the 2014, san francisco history expo, is being held at the old mint, this is a weekend expo that show cases 60 diverse bay area historical and cultural organizations. and this year, we are proud to know that the bethlehem shipyard museum will be featured as one of the exhibiters at the san francisco expo. and the bethlehem museum is a newly under way museum that is preserving the history of the industrialization of the san francisco bay area from 1849 to the present and so they have show cased things like the building of the bridges but also the building of the shipyard and the ships that were built in the bay and including richmond and other industrialization like that and they have been given the opportunity to tell their story

and exhibit their ar facts, march first and second at the old mint and we will get a chance to see that and that concludes my report. >> thank you. >> next israel em, commissioner reports? >> public comment? >> sorry. >> i have exciting news to report back, that the port of san francisco, recently won the california maritime leadership award and the 2013, honorary of merit and also try to play vanna here. and that was with this past week, up in sacramento and it was the california maritime leadership similar syposium and we started off
