maintain a financial future it's driven by the boarder economy it's important to preserve is industrial and economic uses at the port and preserve the space for production distribution repair with the eastern neighborhood nonprofits they're popped by nonprofits and, of course, continue to redevelop and rehab and reuse our historic facilities which we have begun with you we have a very, very long ways to go. of really the great import to the city is, of course, the estimates for rising sea level and how the port can respond to that since the eastern shoreline is within the ports boundary. capital needs remains very large
3:53 am
we have, of course, identified this year about $1.6 billion in capital needs and identified the $600 million that is about a shortfall of $10 billion and it requires the port staff and port commission to consider the trade off between expenses and capital needs and try to balance accordingly so we'reizing that closely i've already mentioned. that's the high-level supervisors if it's okay with you i thought i'd ask meg 80 an so walk through the numbers >> thank you. >> as on overview the budget is increasing and important to note of that growth 7.6 million is driven by operating revenues we've split between the

3:56 am
bums up trying to capture our snapshot of revenues to allocate any of the designation to future capital and the real items driving our growth open the pie chart over the two year window is the rents and parking and crews and commercial industrial rent and parking are based on trends as well as the benefit of being able to reuse the venues that were previously taken over by the america's cup. we're happy to say the driver is the opening of our crews terminal on peer 27 this reflects the passenger facility charge we're helping to have that parking revenue we're going to be able to generate as a result of the site
3:57 am
>> supervisor breed. >> thank you for bringing up parking. i was wondering if the port has taken measures for signage and lights for the ability of individuals to see the parking meets at night there are charges related to parking in the area in the evening >> i'll be able to answer that but i'll turnover to other port staff. >> because if there's a cost savings it's reallocates to another location i want to advocate so far support ♪ particular area >> are you talking about the waterfront or the area of the meters. >> the waterfront. >> that's about 7 miles of parking meters so some 8 years ago the port piloted a program with meters on behalf of the
3:58 am
city ultimately you know the city choose not to move forward those meters they were impossible to read we've been slowly swapping them out this project is funded and moving through so we shouldn't have any issues with the lighting and from the city itself but i'll investigate so its accurate information. >> i, of course, had a personal issue i know of individual that are older who don't have the handicap stickers for parking but they were parking in the evening and said they couldn't read it and realize they had to pay the meter. >> one thing that's happening with the decals a lot of people will park in the ferry building
