tom gilberti, [speaker not understood]. born 1950, the original mickey mouse, davey crockett, roy rogers, snow white, kindergarten 1955, college degree 1972, golden age of education, a golden age. took for granted that society had passed the line somewhere around magna cart a, the declaration of independence, that we're civilized, we're beyond the river. we're all civilized. and just about three he years ago i realized that, no, every generation has to define for themselves what is civilization.

mothers, daughters, parents, children, elders, what we're doing in a town in society. now the medical world we have patients and we don't need people and you can get prescriptions, there is a thing called tinitis which is constantly ringing in the ear. marginal, the prescription is marginal. the dps, department of public health, has promoted into law law 55/45 decibels which means your apartment, your house has tinitis ringing in your apartment 24 hours a day 7 days a week. from something across the street, backyard of a roof. if we were to go 55 and a loud noise on a ballot, who would vote for it versus allowing

people to contain all the noise they want to make on their own property? you're politicians. you know who would vote for it. by challenging them, we can make it better. keep the noirs on everybody's [inaudible] their property. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. hello, my name is larry juce e edmonds. i want to say [speaker not understood] to michelle edmond. she's starting to say racist stuff. [speaker not understood] a generation of all the people where i live they don't report it. so, i'm glad that she dedicated 9/11 on my birthday may 15, so i wore this dress in honor, she was the first one to wear a

black and white dress on the view ~. i went to the millennium million man march. i voted rainbow, pom-pom, [speaker not understood]. i want to read this. some terms and resistance, to gain control over my life, to tell the world my story, to stop lying, to be honest with myself, accept who i am, feed my real feelings, feel my real feeling, feel my pain forgive myself and forgive others. practice rebirth and new life, live my spirituality, support and love my brothers and sisters. god is trying to [speaker not understood]. i learned that on 20 generation the facts on [speaker not understood]. why i say that is because today we need to know ~ "our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even in one term, but

america, i have never been more hopeful than i have tonight that we will [inaudible]. i promise you we as a people will get there." i want it remind people get out there and vote because when i went to sacramento, tom's office is a very nice office and they do have an lgbt caucus there and i want to remind people that memorial day is coming up. that's a day not only for veterans, but for all americans who make this a great country. so, make sure you get out and vote and keep our city progressive like the other countries are doing [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? please step up. well, it's now good evening, supervisors, because it's after 6 o'clock.

i am here because i'm still concerned about administrative code 12 l. there are a number of nonprofits which are in violation of administrative code 12 l. which requires a minimum of two designated public board of directors meeting per year. that's only two. i still have the whistle blowers program investigating so i can't tell you which nonprofits. so, that's all i can do on that subject. on a happier note from you, i am happy to report that irs has decided to zero out my so-called federal tax account because i was able to provide the documentation they needed

that showed that 2011, $50,000 income, he yes, reported to irs, i didn't do it ~. so, the irs is going to be investigating and there isn't really much more i can say on that except yea. state of california federal tax board did the same thing where the federal 2011 report triggered a tax bill for me for the state. that's been ruled out as well. it does involve nonprofits here in san francisco who received taxpayers' money and the moment i have an opportunity to let you know, i shall. thank you and have a great evening. >> thank you very much. next speaker. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is now closed.

and don't get the recognition they deserve is i'm sure the port director has given you are them kudos but they've been amazing working with us that's connecticut i can't and dan we're putting together 9 peer 77 memorial that's a tough, tough process a lot of people would have said come back and they've never denouncing done that i wanted you guys to know how wonderful our troops are. >> thank you, very much. >> thank you shawn. is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed >> executive director report. >> good morning members of the public and the staff thank you for joining us i have a couple

of things stat with our sale of our port revenue bonds at the last commissioner meeting we sold the bonds almost two weeks ago we we hit the manpower and the best of all market value in the municipal bond market it was a combination or really good interest news coming out for the borrowers and a lack of apply in the municipal bond market we sold 22 millions plus port revenue bonds series 2014 they were a series a that's tax exempt and building inspection commission that's taxedable it constituted 19 hundred million

and b-2 million 80 thousand that's about a 12 percent to what would that be a 28 percent split pr the transaction is scheduled to close this theirs on may 29th so the sales portion of it is definitely done. the transaction was a progress for us by a couple of people that i would like to mention first and foremost our team eelena additional larry brown and marilyn and a number of other i know i'm forgetting apologizes in advance our consultant were lead by nicholas and company and >> financial advisory were

braxton and other we're pleased to have the caliber firms working with us. the offenders were driven by institutions like fund there were definitely retail buyers and merrill lincoln submitted odors over $10 million in a particular series and allocates of million dollars we're pleased to have them. our overall interest of costs are the average 3.97 percent we've borrowed thirty years under 4 percent and this is the best certificates that average interest rate was 4 points 6 percent so a little bit more than a half a percent higher and the revenue bonds were issued at

the 6.16 percent you, you can see the market moved in our favor we'll probably never refinance those bonds kudos all the way around. also we were going to be heading into the budget meeting at the board of supervisors we had two hearings one on, if you will, a state of the port we are that the first department to be heard in into cases and had a hearing on our two year fiscal year 2014-2015 and 2015- 2016 budget. it leading into those hearings we spent time working with the mayor's office, you know, the ports budget is conciliated into the mayors overall budget into the city there were city overall adjusts and work order changes that implicated the ports

balance negatively you remember we when met our requirement to designate port capital needs and the percentage of 20 percent we fell below that with the negotiations of the mayor's office but through the budget analyst process through the board of supervisors the budget analyst recommended seven hundred thousands of savings we are that successful in having the board direct that back to our port capital projects that brought us back into balance so kudos to elaine. the budget committee has heard the budget and it will go on to the, if you will, full board with a tashtd date so i believe they can't act before july 17th or before august that's itself

update weighing the testimony we'll have more line item details but it went very, very well. okay. next i want to report on the pilot donor program almost a year or 89 months ago the port worked with the san francisco america's cup organizing committee to have a pilot program that was titled one sf celebrate the cup at the peers 24 to 29 the america's cup organizing committee fulfilled ailing all its duties to the city and subsequentially clez closed it's door so the pilot program is concluded with the program on a ongoing basis if we choose i thought it was would important to see this. there were 3 eros placed at

various points for individuals and other to participate. there were a brick program and there was a beverage program and there was a larger ability to death a grove of trees on the site to approximately 2 hundred and 50 bricks will line the walkway of the park you can see that very large red is showing where the walkway is and on the embarcadero program in addition and a step up within the wharf and that's where the 2 hundred and 50 bricks will be their wen graphed with someone's name and potentially with well issues for example, someone purchased a

bring in memory of a person who severed a short time and other expressing their love of the area it's been interesting and will be fun to go through the bricks. the second is the bench program 13 benches were purchased lynn the area with the top of the slide that is facing southwest the front part with one bench placed around the corner that's where the benches will go and the third is a grove of 3 cypress trees in the lawn area and named at the grove named after george and louie who have been contributors in san francisco and a group of their

families and friends got together in recognition of their civic contributions and the dui itself have supported the good times with the vibrancy bay and the san francisco ballot and the fine arts museums etc. so a group of people made donations in recognition of the jew itself legacy. so this is the madam chair that will adorn the grove inlaid into the seat that's a retaining wall if i peak over the construction wall you'll see the trees on site. this is a typical madam chair that will adorn one of the benches again, a saying and a family name or something like that across the ports name. and then lastly we've dedicated

a wall on the second floor for everyone who donated to help with the ports peers this is the wall adjacent to the escalator so if you come up the escalator you'll have your back to the wall and likely turn and looking at the coit tower and the trans america building or face outdoor and look at the bay bridge or any other amazing sites this is a very small area where the names of the people that donated will be remembered and an entry box at the top that is a monitor so that's the update on the do in charge program we're going to wait until the building is open to assessing access people's

interest and maybe come back and request ask you for approval to authorize it we have people that wished they'd bought a brick >> myself included and it will be popular and you can use more benches up and down the port and again that program was modeled after what rec and park does interest that concludes my presentation on the rec and park program. >> when a how much was raised. >> approximately half a millions i was trying to get the exact number you don't have it elaine? >> and eligible expenses up to $10 million for the ports expenses we are that hoping you recall there are an mou between

the port and the america's cup committee we identified up to $10 million paid through the recognize. >> i want to say kudos to the staff and all the hard work to get such an incredible bond ratings it took a lot of effort we're lucky to have the staff and to have the kind of operation that warranted the high operation thank you all. >> i'm sorry, i hope i didn't mislead ii wasn't done with any executive director report. >> oh, sorry. >> that was my fault. the next part is to thrill about the park maintenance are doing out on the ports it you won't get to see it this but it's

outstanding. so the port maintenance pile workers began to work on the thurnd system obtain april 21st consisting of one hundred and plus they support the wu could harms they keep the ships off the peers and because of the gangways and the short power system they have to sit off the pier a little bit throats process the department maintenance workers have the expertise to do this and they're doing a trimmers job. port welder guide the templates and were designed by engineers they keep the piles going in straight it's outstanding to watch them work how accurate and

they are in driving the piles and went their one hundred foot steel piles and h beams their amazing in terms of their length and their weight and to be able to guide them in effortlessly is in part due to the templates. to date 3 of them have been installed and the rest by the end of july. i want to give you a moment to see some of the port maintenance they do not only in the construction mode they're very, very proud of them and wish we could skip over the construction fenced and see it unfortunately not. next, i also wanted to report an great work on the san francisco ship repair generated that's operated by bae the ship repair

two thursdays on may 15th they have completed a ship job for the norwegian jewel she carried approximately 2 thousand 3 hundred passengers and is considered too last year of a ship to fit through the panama canal. she's one of two ships that will be repaired and the second will be the star princess's for dry doc and update. there was a lot of great work including putting on what i count to be 3 new restaurant and sharpening gunman's bar and grill a steakhouse with a bar and make my daughter happy a new carols bakeshop so if you have a teenager that likes the bakery

it is quite an amazing sculpture of cakes and other treats. all told while she was in dock she generated over thirty thousand employment hours now headed to seattle where she'll be based for her alaskan violently and holy weep see her on tuesday the 22nd on the crews shipyard we're excited about that. bill where are you dunbar from bae congratulate you and your team and most importantly your ability to bring in the crews ships and provide the services that helps us
