been on the waterfront for thirty years. i support of the america's cup very much we had the best year and had a lot of fun it was a lot of work it was everyday a different day and new excitement and things to anticipate. we had a biggest work staff that we've ever had we hired quite a few of the people that worked the entire time during the america's cup starting with the predicaments. i definitely think that more live feeds throughout the city would expand the enthusiasm for the america's cup if 43 they come back. some people were confused you but it seems like there's an easy way to expand the information. i really was expressed with the
8:20 pm
fact we didn't have any delivery problems at the restaurants the traffic was taken care of the knowledge bark was closed off for parking but didn't impact our business. so the organization that was put the into the america's cup 34 can be mimicked and can turn out to be judges - just as productive >> i'm allen i was the supplier for pier we hired about 50 people on the ground through most period of loading in and out. they were primarily local 16 labor and people with the prevailing wage.
8:21 pm
summer is slow this is an opportunity to keep more people on and add people to our staff. my experience was that people didn't said what it was for awhile and once it got legs it took off. i had a lot of people around the country talking about it. this is a great opportunity to build on something and moving forward it is better management to move forward this is san francisco it does well, and you can't imagine the impact when someone in a different country sees this kind of thing. so we're a small business but it made a huge impact on us >> thank you next. >> i'm peter garza i represent

8:27 pm
the end. i hope we take this education and use it again for the next america's cup i hope we have it here and ask america's cup to guarantee more boats in the water that's my request thank you other speakers wish to comment on this item. okay seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor avalos >> thank you it's great to see there's a number of businesses here represented here today that bend from america's cup. i know that as present by mike martin and the budget analyst report about 28 hundred businesses had contacted the authority through the bus portal we don't know how many of those got contracts or work out of the
