local families the equivalent of 040 full-time jobs it makes crews calls to 0 we've been privileged to have that attendance h attention from the cruise lines and the jane kim r herman terminal whops it is complete it will shift to another peer and pick up one thousand crews where a she'll embark on a 16 day hawaiian crews if you want hop on board back on january 3rd and if you miss that opportunity she'll depart on january 3rd a great opportunity and kudos to the varix e and the personnel are here and, of course the port

staff it altogether have a worked collaboratively for years for a position we've privileged to have all the great work unfortunately today commissioner, i have two memoriams to mental illness the first is former port commissioner james which is not listed on the agenda commissioner arguing to say was a commissioner until 4992 and served during the mayor agnos administration born in san francisco in 4948 but grew up on the peninsula commissioner goss to say spent his work at the grocery with his and became a co-owner running the market with his brother together they founded companies including restaurants and international trade and eventually he found his ways to way to the port

commissioner boostering was here during the time of the 14989 during the earthquake and on whether or not to repair or remove the embarcadero free it was removed so t he's been part a legacy we're enjoying and hope to enjoy commissioner boosters was the first ever during the san francisco human rights award for the 0 minority owned businesses and award the maritime award for the commander of distinguished award but it man and woman mad it into his obituaryy we wish him well and thank him for the tremendous

service a little bit closer in time to today at the james r crews terminals a memorial service to celebrate the life of jennifer i'm sure you're aware of you know well, she served as the director of economic development and workforce and worked for the mayor's office under mayor ed lee and approximately two years ago she took over something called waterfront development and decided to spend full-time working with the board on free mooshth projects the pier 70 and the okay, can development with the giants and the prior warriors pavilion project at pier 32 she was structural in working on the america's cup the

34th america's cup the negotiations ensued for seems like forever she was a big part of that and big part of making sure the event came off without a hitch it was a great success jennifer got her start in san francisco by working on evan duffey's board and became an aide which is where i first met her and she served on mayor newsom's office in the office of economic workforce development jennifer is fairly young and two youngest toerjz she had and survived her 13 and beloved friend to all of us public service was her life her father lives in south beach and experiencing along accident embarcadero she took her responsibilities with the port very, very seriously and was a

lot of fun she spent time guilty of negligence over the typical fact we have chevy i can't those of you have straight hair you don't think but today is a terrible day so we'll we'd be looking at out for our hair and jennifer had a really good senseless of humor her hair in the newspapers were larger and she was agnostic about 3 so today as i mentioned the first name filed a quaker memorial service at pier 27 crewsship terminal they were anticipating many people 4 hundred and 50 attend all age groups family and friends as well her children and

others it was a really important memorial so i think it is really significant that the work that jennifer has done at the waterfront bh will live on for her family and a children and generations in her family and i hope we all as we take our walks along the waterfront stop and remember jennifer that concludes my remarks. >> thank you. >> also wanted to comment about jennifer as well attended the services this morning i think we ouch do memoriams but we've truly lost a member of the port family as missouri neck said to leave behind a tremendous legacy the crews terminal to help bring america's cup i met jennifer 10 years ago now where she helped to privilege the re(inaudible)

power project to the san francisco ethics commission that's how we first became friends there is so many more things around the city that jennifer had her hand in although having heard madeline speak today, i know that certainly her real legacy is in two amazing schrn she leaves behind you know the port family will embrace her children as part of our family and please keep them in mind but jennifer was a friend to so many of us who was really more than a colleague she had the incredible ability to go to an issue to see right to who somebody really was and connect with them and as we heard person after person including her children's friend we had that kind of relationship

with jennifer that was significant well beyond her work relationship human resources she had the g s c ability to get things done and really lived that and spared us she's a loss for all of us she's one of the special ones that gaechld in public service we're so moved so much better off as well as having our friend and she really as done asked us to be better by her words and example so as we continue our work as public servant to keep jen in our hearts and mind as we strive to do that much better again, i want to hope her children realize how significant an impact jen has had on so many of us as well as our waterfront and

just a moment have a moment of silence in keeping with the quaker service that jen had earlier today and want to continue that moment to the port meeting today thank you. >> (moment of silence). >> thank you.

>> i just want to mention i also was at the service not to repeat but number one i was total blown away by the people renée do we know how many seats. >> more than 4 hundred and people standing amazing to have that many people to a memorial service and professionals and my acquaintance with jennifer was professional when they took offer as president of the commission we tried to get together and have lunch salesladies with monique i often said something out of respect giving on the opportunity she was also optimistic she said when i talked about a problem i remember the most when she had a

tremendous amount of optimistic and didn't let herself get bogged down with the issues and politics that we happen to deal with in the projects she was facing that's the memory that i have of her and it was a very moving service to see so many people out there and the city family showed up the supervisors and everybody it was nice to see that and some of the sentiments expressed were genuine in the poems and i guess her sister said we're going to have hope until there's no hope left this is when jennifer passed it was moving i think we'll remember her as it was when she was appointed to be honest the director for the projects we were not sure how the relationship was going to go it was a little bit rocky in the

beginning over 7, 8, 9 with her determination and monique working with her and that relationship blossomed and became a full productive relationship it could have begun the other way it itself to her credit i think we weren't sure how to read into that relationship it worked very will and sorry she couldn't continue the staff and on that in her shoes everybody is bringing value to the table thank you. >> i agree with everything it's a been said we're going to really miss working with jennifer. >> yeah. >> comment on the executive order report? >> good afternoon, commissioners brad benson i

dating back to the america's cup had an opportunity to work with jennifer almost on a dial basis she worked with so many of us throughout the port and i think you've been eloquent about what she meant for the rafting waterfront and the city we've heard in the service today she's so smart and such a problem solver and so passionate about working for the city and she did it with grass and witness and caring caring about people and we're all going to miss her so thank you. >> thank you other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. next item >> item 6 b port commissioners report. >> i don't have anything to
