held at pier 70, in building 12 on august, 15 and 16th which was a weekend. >> as you know, ne host an annual street food festival every year as a fund-raiser and it is a kitchen for women and immigrant food and entrepreneur and frankly there are really, a great resource, for low income, food entrepreneurs to be able to have some shared facilities and have access to the field there and in the business and they have been running this fund-raiser/street food festival for over 6 years. and they out grew their space, where they were holding it at mission. and this year, well, we are able to come to pier 70 and host it in building 12. and the festival featured over 100 food and craft vendors and they had all kinds of small businesses, owner operated businesses, and 30 businesses that grew from la cocina low income entrepreneur program and the developer of that area

hosted a booth at the site to make the visitors aware of the future vision of the pier 70, and as the plans for the park and the development of the historic building. and they got an overwhelmingly positive response. and so, it was just a fantastic weekend. for everyone. and they had marked the two years, since the building 12 has been opened as a way to engage the public back to pier 70, to enjoy it in a way that it has never been enjoyinged since it was heretofore, a public and a working pier. and in the two years that it has been opened to the public for events, it is estimated that 120,000 visitors have experienced some pier 70 and gotten a bit of a taste of what pier 70 will be going forward following the development. and so it is exciting news for us. if you have not had a chance to come to an event at pier 70, i hope that you can and because it is one of the most in my humble unbiased opinion, beautiful places for the san

francisco water front. and so really, hope that you will come and share it too and the weather is fantastic there. so, on your way over, i am sure that you did not notice the very, very large event that is being built across the street. but this thursday, september the 10th, the nfl will be kicking off its season leading into the super bowl 50. and so super bowl 50 is hosted here in the san francisco in the bay area. they will kick their season off here in san francisco, so they will do so, by from 3:30 to 5:30, hosting a free concert across the street here at justin herman plaza and feature elie, golding and our very own grammy award winning band, train which should be really awesome. and so they will be doing a couple of other events on the port property, the plaza is not property. but there will be a free open to the public kids zone in the

parklet that is between piers 9 and 15. and there will be a kick off 2015, photo opportunity at pier 35, where the public can come in and see the vince lumbardy trophy and hang out with the oakland 46ers and greats and get the autographs and if you want the information of what all will be going on you can go to the nfl website and search for kick off 2015, that is what is happening. if you did not see it have you to have them looking at the beautiful day to have missed all that is going on across the street. >> and then, right, in the following week from september, 13th to 18th is the dream, annual dream force conference here in san francisco, as you know, the dream force is the world's largest technology conference that takes place at the m*f center area. and it is historically, feeds, i forget how many, but it is

quite a large number of attendees from all over the country. this year as part of dream force, sales force has crrlted with the sellty cruise line to use the celebrity infinity cruise ship as a hotel ship here at pythagorean 27, so the infinity will be coming into port loaded with 2,000 passengers who would have sailed a regular cruise and they bill disembark on the sunday, and sales force will begin the charter on september, 13th and going through friday, september the 18th. and at which point, 2,000 celebrity infinity passengers will load up on the ship and sale out on to the great seas once again during the time that they have chartered ship, we are expecting 1200 guest and they will be chrisening the ship as the dream boat it

sounds very much like a former tv show. but it is actually in keeping with the dream force event the only thing that will be happening on the pier is the hosting of the passengers in the room. so shuttle service between the pythagoreaner 27 and the center will be provided by the port's ten anlts bower transportation and it is a lot of good, work for our partner and we are looking forward to a very good event in that use of our cruise ship terminal. and i just want to say that, the use of ships in hotel mode, is something that we do as a normal part of our business typically. they say that one to two nights not usually five nights, but it is something that we provide as an accommodation to all of the cruise line and we are looking

forward to see how this attribute of the cruise business can work for san francisco in concert with a city wide event. >> also, as part of the dream force event, as you probably know, dream force typically hosts a one-night gala which is also a fund-raising event, traditionally that has been at the civic center plaza this year it will be at pier 70 and it will be on september, 17th at 8:00 p.m. and the concert and they will be hosting a concert to benefit, ucsf, children's hospital and the goal is to raise, 10 million for the children's hospital. and concert headliners are foofighter and gary clark junior, and the cocktails start at seven for those of you who are going and the concert is at 8:00 p.m. and again, that is excuse me, thursday, september 1th at pier 70, at 8:00 p.m. >> okay, and then, on september

the 18th, we are pleased to be opening the bay view gateway park and so there is a ribbon cutting celebration, september 18th, which is a friday, at 4:00 p.m. and that bay view, gateway park which is a new open space bordering the creek at third street and cargo way. and so friday, september 18th at 4:00 p.m., please come and join us. this is a new one acre, gateway to the bay view. the passive open space, where everyone can come to enjoy. and the project came with some funding from the 2008, open space general obligation bond. and it employed 84 construction jobs. and the work was prepared by the bowman landscaping and construction, and the marine, demolition company both of these firms are local firms and did a great job in completing the project. the landscape improvements were locally sourced where possible, so the concrete, came from

central concrete and the plantings came from bay natives. and the project is designed to retain storm run off on site and reduce the demand with the drought tolerant planting. and so we are excited about the opening of this park and we will also install some art, which is under going, there you are, which is under going a competitive process and hopefully there will be an announcement about that coming forward in a month. yeah, great, so i hope that you can all come out and join us on friday, september the 18th. >> saturday, september the 19th is the annual california, coastal clean up day. and taking place from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and as you know, coastal clean up day goes back to 1985, so this marks the 30th anniversary of coastal clean up day. and approximately 2500 californians joined in the initial clean up and now it is well over 50,000 people who joined and in fact it is so big that it has made the book of world records for the largest

garbage collection ever. and so we want to keep up that status. but it is also an opportunity for the community to demonstrate how important it is for us to have clean shore lines, and to have a healthy marine life. and so please, if you can come out and join us at any number of locations. all told that there are seven locations along the port, where you can come. the first is at the head park which will be captained by the green of the san francisco, rec and park department. and the second site is the india bay and bay keeper, and the third is the park and the captain is kayaks unlimited and the fourth is north, and stewart hall high school, schools of the sacred heart. and the fifth is mission bay, park and captain is sea scavenger and the 7th is warm water, cove, captain green trust san francisco and the san francisco public works

he was battling a rare form of cancer, and survived by his wife and son and hundreds of students and colleagues, and just the friends and all of the places that he was able to work and to lend his. he earned his masters at uc berkeley and started as a senior, urban designer at the san francisco planning department and he in fact wrote or co-wrote, i guess, the award winning access plan, and he initiated and implemented san francisco's acclaimed, downtown street scape plan. and he was a designer for 21 years and he led the urban, design plus, and a new york based practice and prior to that he was a principal at smwm for nearly ten years.

that concludes my report. >> any comment on the executive director areport?

>> next item? >> item 9 b, port commissioner's report. >> would i like to say that on july 25th, we had a home growing certify pony for the late leroy king and it was well attended by politicians and labor leaders and community people and i think that it is a blessing to live to be 91, 92, years old. and you look around and if you don't see a lot of people your age, you have out lived your contemptary and so, leroy was one of those people and it started off with a really really nice, speech from the leader pelosi and she was there with her daughter, and the day that he died, nancy was at the capitol and she took down the flag and gave it to mr. king's family. and from local two spoke and the president of the iow, i said a few words and the mayor was there. and there was a mixture of people to say the nice things, it would be nice to tell the people what we felt about them

what you are alive, when you are dead you never hear what the people think about you, and i want to thank the port and renne and i know that it goes back a long way with king and i want to thank the delancey street for hosting the stuff like that. i just wanted to share that, that mr. king will not be forgotten, it is just that his parents will be felt just a regular working guy and we have people of all to pay to a regular man, thank you. >> thank you. >> notice that there is more and more discussion and this may come under new business and i did notice that several other city departments are doing an assessment and preparing for el nino. and wanted to just acknowledge that others are doing that.

and i am not sure if this the right time to ask, that perhaps, we start looking at what may be the impacts on the port, if we have a significant storm. >> we are involved in the city planning and we will be back when we have more to report. >> thank you. >> i will list it under new business. >> thank you. >> next item? >> items on the consent calendar, item 10 a, request the approval of the travel port commissioner and port staff to attend the 16th friendship sister ports conference in china, on october, 27, 29, and resolution --. >> we just want to do them separately. >> we want to do the 10 a first. >> no, it is for the record i am from the attorney office. and we will be traveling on

official port business and so you don't need to recuse yourself on this matter and then you would not have a quorum. >> okay. >> item 10 b, request approval for the resolution of support for the san francisco bay area water trail being implemented by the california coastal commission. >> is there a motion to approve the consent calendar? >> sexd. >> is there any public comment? >> seeing none, all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? >> 10 a and b carry. >> item 11 a, request approval to amend the previously approved appreciation for the fiscal year, 15, 16, capitol budget in including the ten additional projects and increasing the project funding by $6.2 million.

>>

>> i am meg began wal ace from the port finance and i am here to request an increase to the capitol supply mental for the 2015, 16 budget. and this is upon, you know, with the port commission's approval, the staff would like to take this item to the city's capitol planning committee. and then, first for the further review with the mayor and ultimately the introduction with the board of supervisors. >> so, to recap, in february, port staff brought in a capitol supply mental to the port commission and this is an increase to the original, physical year, 2015, capitol budget and the original amount was $12.8 million and increased it by $19.5, for $32.3, million capitol budget. and as you can see, from these diagrams, the majority of that funding was in the southern water front. and as well on repair and

replacement projects there was a large component for enhancement work and that was mostly in the southern water front for the back lands project, that was $8.5 million. >> the proposal before you today is to increase the capitol budget by an additional 6.2 million and the funding source is additional, and it is additional surplus from the fiscal year, 2014, 15, budget and as you will recall, i recently gave a presentation on the revenue performance. and so these funds, are surplus, operating revenue, as well as expenditure savings from the last fiscal year. and as you can see from this chart, we continue to request and invest in the southern water front. and you will see the project, related to the northern water front as well as port wide, benefiting projects. but we are looking at 38.5 million in total capitol fund and what this chart tries to show is the historical need

verses it is actual spending and you can see the bottom chart the line in blue is trend, closer to 12 million dollars or so. and in order to really meet our capitol spending need and identified in the ten year, capitol plan. and we need to spend upwards of $40 million. and so the staff is really excited to be able to say that this fiscal year, upon approval of the supply mental will be getting pretty close to what we should be spending, but unfortunately, we don't, currently have resources in land to continue this level of spending. >> staff brought in the one mill object project proposal and but at this time, we recommend, 500,000 to get the

project under way to improve our skylights. and additionally, terminal float repairs are needed all along the water front, this particular, 520,000 proposal will be specifically for the china, based and ferry floats and so servicing the customers coming in for the giant's baseball games. >> and then, $100,000 for the emergency crap toll funds and this will bring in our total funding available to $800,000 >> in the southern water front, the staff proposes an additional $400,000 to fully repave the roadway around the lead rail road project and you will be familiar with this project as a way to, and we are

trying to improve, and upgrade, the railway. and to help to support, our maritime industry. and the currently funded project, only funds, one-third of the road repaving, and this would repave the remaining amount. and it is just an over all efficiency measure to do it all at one point in time. >> additionally, there is 300,000 for the pier 70, setment cap and so off of the crane cove park there is an area of sedimentation that the staff is working to contain through the crane cove park project. however, there is a portion of it that is not funded, through the park. 2.2 for a pile removal and over all strategy.

and staff has been looking in the southern water front and recognizes there a number of areas where the piles are hanging out and marring the over all visual appeal of the southern water front and a lot of these piles are treated and so they have a variety of chemicals that are leaching in the water that is not good for the environment or the human health and the people are exposed to the water and this proposed funding includes 200,000 from the coastal grant and you have already approved this. in terms of looking at the over all approach to improving the water front. this grant is going to address the piers 82, through 84. and then additionally the staff is proposing this $2.2 million to address the pier 90, as well

as the pier 98 terminal and this map helps depicts the areas proposed for immediate work. and so at the very top you can see the piers 82, to 84, and that is where the coastal converse ancy comes in. and pier 90, and you can see that the red area is for the wharf area and on the bottom left, the pier 98 is near the park. and then the other two projects in yellow are the pier 90, grain siloand pier 70, and both of those projects are very expensive and they require a longer term permitting processes so the staff recommends deferring, funding, at this point of time, so that we can move forward and complete the permit processes as well as try to secure the external funds and for example, the funding and they have the fill removal requirements

through the bcdc permitting. herans head park is actually receiving settlement funds as a result of the coast of the oil spill, 665,000 was allocated to the port. from the settlement amount of $1.1 million, and the remaining amount actually went to the recreation and parks department for a project and as you can see to the bottom left of the page and you can see in the park, there is sort of a land area that is filling with water that area needs to be stabilized and if it is not, the sediment could become subject to regulatory action and because the it could become a problem. >> and then we have the project proposals twill allow us to

improve the belt line building. so right in the same complex is the new cruise terminal and we have the beautiful historic building and i believe that it is the front is circa 1911, and the back is the 40 and by improving this, we will be able to do retail on the bottom level and the office in the back area. and this funding will do, complete ada improvements and prep it for being a leasing space. and we are looking at about, 100,000 of new annual revenue from this project. the substructure is in need to release it out and this bulk head facility which is beautiful and suffered from a fire in 2012, and has been rebuilt and now it is ready to lease it out bye-bye completing the substructure improvements, the life of the facility will be extended for ten to 20 years.

it is receiving $2 million in insurance, and this at dishal $700,000 will close the gap. and i have this diagram so that you can sort of connect the dots to what i am proposing today and what you have heard from the engineering 2.5 million is the construction costs of the funding that we are proposing under the bulk head area and it is addressing the deferred maint nens need in the substructure and as you can see there are other deferred requirements father along under the pier as well as on the super structure of the shed and depending on the use of the facility, we might trigger the

need to improve the conditions of the facility. >> and lastly asking for a one million contengency and we have a number of projects proposed to you. and here on the left is pier 31. you recently approved for the staff to go out for bid on approving that facility, and the bottom right is the belt like we are seeing it come in higher than estimated and it will allow them to move forward with the projects should they come in over budget and the staff will return to the commission to award and we will be presenting budgets and that might include this amount for the individual projects.

so just in conclusion, we are looking to increase the budget and the total amount will be $38.5 million and really we see this as solving our helping to support a lot of interests on the port. and the southern water front and the northern water front and the facilities for leasing. and human and environmental health and safety and over all, by increasing revenues in a number of facilities will be improving the port's financial position. >> i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. >> is there a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> public comment? >> seeing none, commissioners? >> i just want to say to commend you all for being able to find the extra funding obviously very good to see that coming out of our operating surplus in addition to what has been approved. and i don't really have the comments on the specific

projects and so i think that it is important that we hopefully will continue to see in another report like this. and that is over an excess of what our policy is. >> mr. adams? >> megan, this is going to tell you in the committee, this is good work and i think that it says it right there. these capitol investments will improve the southern water front and the environmental safety for commercial leasing in the port's financial position and so that i think this is money well spent and i think that the committee did their due diligence and i support it, thanks. >> i echo my colleagues comments. and i also want to thanks commissioner brandon, who is ill today and, so we wish her a speedy recovery. but she has really been very focused on insuring that we move those pilings that are in the southern water front. and i am just sorry she can't be here today to hear that it will be going forward, she really has been very vocal about insuring that happens,

and i want kutos to her and she will be please and hopefully she is home watching this. but i want to thank you and your team and it is excite and these are things that are needed and that we have been able to find the additional funding that makes these projects happen. thank you. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> opposed? >> resolution, 1528 carries. >> and item 12 a, request approval for lease, number l-15908 for premises located at pier 22 and a half in the northern water front of the port of san francisco and the queens louisiana po-boy cafe llc for a term of 5 years and the action constitutes at proval action for the project for the purposes of ceqa purchase su ant to section 3:singer 1.04, of the san francisco administrative code. >> good afternoon, commissioners jay edwards the senior property manager and so i am here today to request approval for the above lease

that amy has just referenced and i would like to just give you a brief background and this is akoum lacing of the work to renovate, and it goes along to the port asset and this started out as a former fire house and it has been reno vait and it we have leased the upper floors and we have a new lease that is move ining here shortly and now this is the ground floor opportunity that we issue an rfp for the pilot rfp program and we are delighted to have the queens, and the queens cafe as the selected respondent and we have been to the commission previously, to present the result and enter into a negotiation period which we have concluded and today we are here to hopefully seek your

approval for the lease and basically in the staff report, it outlines the conditions that pretty much follow the rfp and they are in the process that we are engaged in prior and we went through this. and concluded in here and it is just to give you a brief summary there is a bli that contains the business terms but the main differential between what we had presented before and today is that we have agreed to a period of time for permitting construction and brief start up period to offset the cost associated with this. and that is a total of 270 days, it is a firm day, and beyond that, there will be responsible for paying rent and so, we feel that this over all represents a great opportunity to launch this pilot rfp program. for diverse, well received believesinger community based restaurant that is run by a lovely couple, troy and

danielle reessxe, we are optimistic that it will all work out and they have the lease and have not signed it yet and they are doing the final reviews but we are very hopeful that that will all happen here, based on your approval. >> and i thank you and i am available to answer any questions. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioners? >> i really don't have any comments and i think that we worked on this for quite some time and it looks like it is coming to a successful conclusion and i appreciate that and it is great that we are meeting the objectives with the school and the lb and the diversety efforts that are paying off and i am looking forward to seeing this getting executed. >> mr. adams? >> yeah, i just want to personally thank you guys, and this was a long, it has been a long road. and it was time so i kind of thought that this thing was going to fall through the cracks and it didn't and we stayed the course, and we have

been pushing for a while to give the small guide an opportunity and, there are small business, and we will last in the diversety to the port and i am happy about that and louisiana the good, food down here in the port will be good. and to entertain our 27 million passengers a year that walk up and down this water front. and the people that come to our beautiful city. and so i just want to say thank you. >> and again, jay and susan and everyone else that worked on this it was exciting. and i think to really take a novel approach to making opportunities available to people all throughout our city. and i hope that other departments take a look at what we have done and i just want to thank you all for that i am excited to see this team come in here. and so i think that i mentioned last time that i think that i am one of the few commissioners that has patronized the establishment on occasions and i am looking forward to having it done on the water front. so all in favor? >> we need a motion. >> i am sorry.

>> so a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? , motion carries, thank you. >> item 13 a, request approval of the amended maritime industrial preservation policy. >> good afternoon, commissioner and members of the public i'm john davy, the chief here in the san francisco and in the maritime department. i come before you today to seek your approval of an amendment to the port's maritime city,

precertify preservation policy. >> it was in september of 2011, this department, originally brought before the port commission, this policy. which formalizes and prioritizes the maritime assets throughout the port. at that time, it focused on the preservation and the deep water bursts and we recognized over the course of the past four years, the need for us to up date this policy, to be more comprehensive to include, all of the types of maritime industries throughout the port. >> particularly in the past four years, there has been some notable improvements and the changes to the maritime portfolio. and we know about the herman cruise terminal, and we also initiated the water taxi services up and down the water front and we also took on the

day-to-day management and assumed all of the staff from the south beach recreational harbor down near the park and so we found that that was timely with the with the up date of the land use plan and to amend this and to be comprehensive to include all of these industries, and throughout the policy itself, those up dates are represented by being, double underlined. so, with this, maritime policy, we believe that it is going to be useful and very collaborative tool as a part of the land use updates, by identifying and acknowledging the court's maritime inventory and to insure the protections of the plan and to insure more detailed inventory of the needs. and to go more specific to the

policy itself, you know the port as we say, hosts an array of maritime industries. and not only, in the deep water, realm and cruise, and cargo operations, but also in the ferry operations, and the water taxis, and the harbor service and tugs, our ship repair yard, and commercial fishing. and now more than ever, with your recreational boating facilities. >> out of a certain for the protection of these maritime industries, the san francisco, water, land use plan, identifies the need to balance, both the come mers and the non-come mers in the public access and since its initial adoption of the water front plan, the port commission has approved the amendments that provided the guy ans for the water front and the development of the public spaces and so we bring it forward to you again, an amendment to the maritime

industry, preservation policy to further augment. >> and the priority of the water front, land use plan is to insure that there are water dependent activities, that have the priority along our water front. and so this policy is to insure that there are strategies to support this current collection of our maritime facility and to enumerate specifically the policies of which there are seven, number one is to encourage the development and the rehabilitation of the port assets that enhance the water dependant uses are the port priority areas, and number two is to protect the natural deep water, by requiring that such bursts be utilized by vessels that are active capacity. and in other words, we don't want to use our deep water for vessels that are idle or that

lay up, or that don't actually engage in maritime come mers. >> number three is to put, or to promote the port's development and the historic rehabilitation projects that incorporate the improvements and including the associated needed repair or equipment requirements and so, the port will seek the future development and the property that includes, the investment for the parties to enhance and protect the facilities and uses of development sites that have maritime access, the port will also seek the development opportunities on the sea wall lots and other properties without water access and include the upper portion and physical therapy contribution for the precertifiation projects number four, to discourage the location of the non-water dependant in the uses and facilities other than parks on sites, with water front

access. number five, and this, is related to our capitol plan. maintain adequate, water depths and to accommodate the future and the port and maritime activities by using the efforts to prioritize the funding for the levels for the dredging in the plan. >> and set the internal goal that 50 percent of the operating expenditures excluding, bond and grant, proceeds and for up grades to such facilities, and dredging, and apron, and repair, and up grades to the fisherman's wharf and the harbor and the water, taxi main nens and development and the rail, improvements and the cargo, warehouse and structural main nens. number six, when promoting recreational uses of the port, minimize the conflicts of the current and future developments between the vessels and said recreational uses. and number seven, prioritize,

water dependent use and not allow for -- pardon me. i can't say it. perspective policy, and to -- okay. to standard operating procedures and docking periods for the purpose of accommodating adjacent non-maritime uses or public access and except, as otherwise, identified in the port's water front land use plan. >> and so, i have prepared in the port, in has worked with our maritime advisory committee and real estate and development, and to put together some of the maps that are comprehensively, showed the maritime use and some attributes about them and both, current and some futures.

so he will start on the water front and this is actually the central water front and so there we go. >> that is north. >> there we go. >> the southern water front. and the area is already under the maritime use and pier 94, and 80, and the shipyard and pier 50. and with our tug and harbor service and operations. in the central water front, and the large pink area is the south beach harbor which we will require to involve with the recreational business. we have the china basin, ferry terminals and the capitol plan and we have the money to do the refurbishment and the dry docking of those. and around the ferry building, and you know, we and, there is going to be the future expansion of ferry docks and the ongoing, operations that are successful and in fact this

past weekend, picked up a lot of the weight of the closure of the park tunnels. >> the pier 15, dock is kind of small and hard to see. but it is actually, going to be delivered in and completed by the end of the year. and we will be in the process of amending our water taxi agreement to allow for expanded water taxi, landings, at the exporatorium at pier 15. >> and man, i can't hit the button right. >> and then, in the northern water front. you can see, the pier 27 area, and the future developments in and around, the pier 31 and 33 that we have talked about. and the cruise terminal. and the harbor where we have the projects under way to rehab tait the fishing wharfs and the fishing lagoon, and of course,

the park which is an open water basin. >> and so, this industry, precertifiation policy is meant to guide the tenants and the developers and the importance of maintaining the port's vital assets and acknowledges that the port of san francisco heritage and the perpetual mission and the port staff and we use the time, industry and policy to determine whether it is in the best interest of the port to recommend to the commission to grant a request of the ten ate or a developer to develop or to renew a port asset. and with that, icon include, my presentation. >> i have christensen and after

that i have john, so you are all prepared. and captain ray ship way. and then, chris kenny. >> all right. >> and i am christopher christensen with the ilwu and i am just here to say that we do support, this projector what he just said, i am sorry. >> and the policy, thank you and i am so sorry. >> and just reading it as he was talking. and so, and we just opened that you do, and you keep in mind that this is a historic and very beautiful water front and that you, with it, you keep some of the maritime come mers here and that is all. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, listeners and i am ellen and i am the co-chair of the advisory

committee along with maria and i am really happy, and in fact, thrilled that this policy, is come before you today. with the amendments that we have been working on at our committee meeting. and in fact, we spent a good two meetings, talking about additional language, and working on the maps and i want to thank, don and jerry for the terrific job that has been done on the maps and we are happy to see those because we think that they provide added clarity and welcomed clarity to the definition of the valuable maritime assets on the water front here. and i wanted to mention too, that we are and the underlying john pointed out that the underlying language which we support and strongly encourage your endorsement of the resolution. s and and we finally add td the ferry and the water taxis to

the list of the industries and so we are really happy to finally do that. we look forward to having an active involvement in the water use plan up date process. and in fact, i am reminded that it was two years ago, that we had a mission to the board of supervisors, and our committee, wi spent the day with the board informing them and describing the maritime, policy and talking about several projects with which we wanted their attention on and it may be timely during the water front land use up date process to do that again we support the industry and call on us for any time for further advice.

thank you. >> thank you, and great job for the updating of the maritime policy. and we thank you for including the reference and the reference for the terri and the water taxi and the services and i, as the representative for the master mason, in the state of california, deal directly with the group and that is all of my folks that work here as well as los angeles and the three key industries for which the mmp members in the san francisco water front all worked at blue and gold and west, and the bay delta and the tide line water taxi. we have asked you to go fur step further with the language

that have you already created here we would like to present you with a copy of what we presented to you neokay. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> well what that actually says is that we encourage the private investment in the ferry facilities and the water taxis and landings and the proposed water side development and the commercial projects in support of these maritime industries and we would like to put more language in this maritime

preservation that says that if you are going to build on the water front we want to include the landings and so forth for the water taxis and for, the ferry service. and it is a different size vesle and it can be accommodated easily and the expense should not have to be fought for every time that someone wants to build on the water front and so i appreciate your time. thank you. >> sure. >> thank you. >> hold on. >> next? >> you are perfect. >> good afternoon i am the ka cape tain, for the club we have about 300 members, and sailors and power boaters and tug boat, and marines and commercial fisherman.

it has made us the unofficial defacto to the recreational boaters. and when i look at the work and i am glad to see the recreational boating included in several new passages here. and i just want to thank everybody on the commission to doing that work. >> thank you. >> and any additional public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. do i have a motion? >> >> moelt to insert. >> i am sorry, i need a motion on the item itself. >> approve? >> a second? >> second. >> is there a motion to amend. >> yes, i have an motion to amend. and the language that was proposed by the mmp to the report of san francisco in the maritime, policy and i will say this is a friendly amendment.

>> would you like a copy. >> that way we can follow the commissioner's directions. >> did you give him and did you give dave, a copy. >> thank you, no witherries. >> so one more second, commissioner and i will be able. >> and the language repeat was encourage the private investment in the ferry afacility and water and it should be taxi, landings and proposed water side development or commercial projects in support of these maritime industries and the region's water transportation network. i am not sure if we want to include the word. >> and how about if i could ask, if you give us direction to find a place to put this in, rather than where we puted it in, is that all right?

>> absolutely. >> have the staff insert this in the policy. >> right, it might go well of the three. >> we will work on that. >> that is the area that we can work on it later. >> and i am very happy to see the up date to the maritime industry, policy, and particularly that you have outlined in a number of areas that i have advocated particularly on the water transportation area and the water taxi and actually, i very much in favor of the amended language that we are adding to the approximatelicy, and i think that it is very apropo and it does bring us up to date with some of the investments

and activities that we have already embarked upon and i think that it just sets the direction that we think is important going forward in addition to the traditional activities and it is good to have an up date and i think that it is also, in terms of the fact that we are working on the water front land use plan, and any of the other planning documents that we are using at the port that we be complete in terms of how we think about the sectors that we are involved in. and i am very supportive and very glad to see. and appreciate that the community and the number of people that have come up to speak that have been involved in this, so that we are working with our collaboraters and the community stake hold tores go forward to see a total vision for the port. >> and speaking in support of the maritime and i like the up date and i don't know i would like to thank you and jerry for

your work on this. and i would like to thank the community and everyone for coming out and clearly this is a work of the water front that we have. not only for the maritime but everything, and the people that work on the water front are working people and this fits into the culture and the history of san francisco. so i support this along with the fellow anybodisingers and john, i want to thank you, for your work, thank you. >> we are pleased to see, you know, i think that one of my he y first votes was on t original policy, and it is really gratifying, and to see the amendments that are coming forward here and i too just want to thank all of the people who spoke today. and it is nice to hear the people, speaking positively about the work that is being done, and acknowledging the

hard work of the staff and so john i want to thank you and others who worked on this, and so, i am very excited about it. >> and could i mention one thing? >> i think that we also want to give some credit to former commissioner, fx crowly who brought this maritime policy and asked us to put something in place in 2011 and while he is not sitting on this commission, i think that we want to credit him for getting us to move in this direction and he is a fell loi traveler here with the commissioner adams and on the labor side and so good work. >> and i am glad that there and i brought au long, too, dorene. >> so though a motion to approve with the friendly amendment, motion to approve? >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? >> carries as amended. >> next item? >> >> 14 a, informational

presentation for regards results in the request for qualification and pro'ssal for the sustainal recycled asphalt and con treat plants for the lease opportunity for the pier 94 and sea wall lot 352. >> >> nope.

>> good afternoon, and the project manager and i am joineded here today, with san francisco public works staff patrick revera and the division manager and the associate engineer. and in, february, this commission authorized dp, i am sorry, the public works and the staff, along with the port to issue competitive so listtation for the concrete and the asphalt, batching plants along with the companion, and the long term supply contracts for both and so that went out in april and we are here to present those results to you here today. >> and so, first a little context about the water front area and this is writing in keeping with the port's

implementation of the in of the industrial center strategy, and the idea of batching plants in this location, has been around for a while. the impact report has also, studied and additional batching facilities there. and with, aggregate limits on production and pardon the word play. also, it was the highest scoring and the local, economic benefits criteria and it is something that has always been near and dear to the

commission's heart. >> the concrete and the asphalt plat with the possibility of the additional space, made available across the plant and if there was a demonstration of need and it was clear that it was a maritime facility that included access to the pier, 94, and this came up and quite a bit. and i will understand that if they are bringing materials sxh that the fee is part of the package when when they signed the package. >> one more bit of context and history for these facilitis in san francisco, and there was an operating asphalt plant in the city from 1908 to 2008 and shut

down in 2008 we have gone out before but some of you may remember that the cement and got through that and it never came together through the end and we have a nice foundation out there but it is about as far as it got. >> at this point i am going to hand it over to patrick of public works for the description of the process

itself. >> we fielded questions from the attendties. and three were issue to give them the additional time to prepare the proposal and one was to respond to the questions that were fielded at the preproposal conference and the

site tour and as well as during the request for the information, period. and noted in the rfq and rfp. >> four proposals were received on june 16th and the advisory panel reviewed and scored the proposal and an oral interviews were presented and schedule and held, on august, 11th. >> we convened a five member panel and consisted of the staff from the airport and the port of san francisco and the public works and the public utility commission. and the review panel reviewed and scored the written proposals as well as the oral presentations the objectives were to select the operator and increase the shipping at pier

94, and develop, and construct the fa silfy and provide the concrete for the projects and to minimize the unnecessary, struck trips and in the policies and to provide, the employment and the opportunities to deny the zip code. >> and there were nine criteria that the written proposal and the interviewed were based upon and they are listed here. and i will not go through all of them. but you can see the 9 criteria as well as the points. the total of the written and the oral will determine the

ranking of the respond ants and the written proposal was 65 percent of the total score, and the oral interviews was 35 percent of the total score. >> the first one is nu gof and it is the partnership and the entity and with the gates, and the new co will partner with the concrete. and it is the granite rock, and the third respondent, and was conco and the fourth one was rms resource management systems, and which is a partnership of the brothers. and bay view, sand and gravel. the results of the evaluation of both the written and the oral scores are showing here. and as you can see, the number

one ranked respondent was central concrete and nuco comprised of gates and the second was resource management system and then the granite rock, rounded out the third and the fourth ranking respond ants. >> and the ken trat con treat proposal its included the construction of a new recycled content asphalt plant and because the concrete is currently on site, they will debt gate their concrete facility to provide the con vaoet. and then, also, high, on the scoring was the long term supply contracts for both of the asphalt and both for the city, and concrete. >> thank you.

>> thank you. >> and so next steps are for us to return to you at the next commission meeting where we will ask for the authority to enter into the negotiations around an ena, with the selected response ant. >> so we are happy to answer any of the questions at this time. >> any public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners? >> yeah. i just had a couple of questions. the site is currently unused? >> that is correct. >> so it is unused and then this asphalt of concrete is

going to be only sold to the city or supply the city or only for the private sector and just for the city? >> and it is opened to the city and private sector and the long term contracts will be between the city and the batch plants themself. >> we will know about the financial terms down the road and so that obviously a new plan has to be constructed and so there is a lot of. >> that is correct. i mean there is some broad outline in the initial february, staff report which suggests, you know, ten year, initial terms, plus the multiple five year extensions. >> yeah, i know that we are not here to approve any of those terms. but roughly how much involvements are involved? >> how many on the part of the

port? >> just regardless of who is paying for it? >> roughly how much? >> and one of the proposals any way has a figure for construction of the asphalt plan at 8 and a half and ten million dollars. and okay. >> and so for a quarter of the magnitude. >> okay. >> so i guess that part of the reason for this proposal also is that the city is having trouble getting enough? concrete and asphalt, locally? >> there are really, two, per, closing the loop on the content that comes out. and we have the asphalt groundings and it be put in the materials and it could be used for the project and there is a larger policy goal of and the

improved waste. >> and okay, thank you. >> and mr. adams? >> and daily, you know it is amazing here, that --. >> you normally don't win nine games in a row but they won every category hands down >> maybe you don't know the number but just give it to us because i would also like to know, but it seems that,thy have proven themself, and the only place that is close is the financial capacity and could you plain that a little bit to me. and maybe, somebody can tell me, that was pretty close in the rank in there? >> but the rest of them blew them out of the water. >> and make sure that we are looking at the rate. >> and there were two financial capacity, and not financial

viability. but the financial --. >> we are talking about the financial capacity >> yeah, that is the one that i am talking about. even there we blew them out. it is closer there with the financial capacity. but there is from the bottom? >> yeah. >> do you want to weigh? ? >> and so the entity comprised of the new goal and with the gates and with the management, and they have been in the business for a while. they presented a strong backing in order to make this happen.

>> is it asphalt or concrete. >> i believe that it is asphalt. >> so they do have the expertise and they know how to do this and they have the financial backing and present it as much as they could without giving up their secrets. that they have the backing in order to make this happen. >> and i am sorry, but just curious, too because it was just, so lop sided. the supply guarantee and how they are able to have a stronger supply guarantee. >> again, with the central concrete, being part of their team, as well as gates and, being in the business of

asphalt and concrete, the score shows that they know what they are doing and the ability to froe vied the asphalt and the concrete, plus, having had and working with an asphalt facility that they currently run, and you know, it really, put them, head above heals above everybody else. >> yeah, commissioner woo ho? >> i did have one question and i should have questioned this earlier when i was reading it. so it was three companies coming together to do this. so i guess that the question is are they going to form a different entity to manage this or how are they going to work? when you get to the ena we want it to be cleared, and it could be complicated, and i mean that they obviously came together and it was not clear in the write up for the structure going forward to operate will be. is it a new entity.

>> well, in the asphalt side of it they do, they will form the nucco just no the asphalt. on the concrete side for this particular proposal, they discuss it as related and you know, for the port and to enter, into the ena, and because we are negotiating a lease with them and the public works will be entering into the contracts and which is a different set of relationship and a different negotiation. so the tenant is nuco for us. >> correct. >> and so just when we come back and officially select. and just want to have a nice, clean. operating management structure that we know who we are dealing

with and who was liable, legally, etc. etc. and so that we are not confused by that in faout tur. >> i am glad that we good the interest in the site. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> item 14 b. request authorization to enter into an exclusive negotiation agreement with tea tro zinzanni and operating together as tzk broadway llc for the lease and development of a dinner theater and a max number of 200 room, 40 foot high, boutique hotel and approximately, 7500 privately financed public park and uses at sea wall lots, 323,

324, and portions of the vallejo and davis street right-of-ways on the west side of the embark darren goldstein adero and vallejo street. >> thank you, my name is ricky and the project development manager with the planning and development division of the port. my presentation today is going to be very brief and i am going to provide a report on what has been established since the last time that i came before you in

october of last year, and that is where last, and the permanent request. >> and it was to allow the staff to work with the developer. to elaborate and to the keast and the unit.

and to allow us to refine and to work with them and to refine that development proposal as well as the sheet to include the terms and the conditions of the lease that will be coming back to you later on, by the end of the ena period. >> and we now will work to the tdz and it is a california, linked to the liability company that is linked together by the tea tro and the ken wood and, investment. and company. and that it brought in to provide us with the development and for their proposal. the managing member will be the investments and they will be the second member. and ken wood investments has

formed and another alc and named the ken wood investments number 1 06. both are a california liability company. >> and the investment number six will control 80 percent of the k, and it will be the enty or the developer that will be entering into the ena, with the port and will be the developer. this is actually not working. this is the focus of the ena

and this is the sea wall, on the side of the corner of broad way and embarcadero and that site is a gateway to the china town as well as the not on the water front. this is a view of the site looking at it from the corner of broad way and embarcadero. and this is the pier to the nine and looking towards the west. and the site, and the port, who and the sea wall is 324 as indicated in this slide and the sea wall, 323, and the sight that will consist of four lots, two of which are referring to

as the street, stub as well as the davis stub so the loss will constitute the site and those will be and they have been controlled by the view the over all sight with a high meet of 34 feet and it is used and asked as indicated on this slide. and the tenant and to enter into the list for the port back in 2009 and for eleven years they operated on the portions of the pier 27 and 29 there

were additions from the community to the comment because of the temporary structures and are not compatible with the district and it is noticed the water front district. and so actually undecided to say well, you know, that in order to create and to construct them, and that is

going to be more expensive that they will need to expand their use program. and including expanding the sites from just a portion of the sea wall 324 to the entire wall, 324 and the identity of the 323, as well as go to the 3 stubs. >> and they same time they knew that in order to am morize the cost of this expensive structures that they will need a longer term lease and so that consists of three and including bringing on a development, and partner that has the experience and where we are. and since they are not on the total developer, and so they are proposing includes a hotel and we talked to the minimum of 200 rooms. with the retail space to accommodate the actual, and the privately funded public park, and all of this is indicated in the report on this item.

>> and in a report and because of the you directed us on october 28th to work with them to support the advertise and her to exempt them from that competitive bidding policy and with the help of many, staff and including brad, and besing and the board of supervisor gave an approval of that exception on may, 5th. >> andle terms and the lease

and the llda which is the agreement that provides the construction period. and it includes, providing for up to four or six month extension and typically, and nea period would last, roughly two years because it includes, getting approval and design of the review and going to the community and finding the financing and so forand so on. they want to get this quickly, in a year and we decided as a result, to provide for the additional extensions to accommodate, and if there is a need for additional time to complete the due diligence and go through the period and the fee for that initial period is

$100,000 and it is the bench marks and it is moving in the diligently to get to the next level before that extension will be granted. >> and also, proposing the ena was to cover, the costs and the costs that we thought were incured in the ena period and this does cover the staff time and the city attorney that will be assisting us as well as outside of the time, and that may, and that will be assisting us. as well as the consultant that will be assisting the port. and the bank, and the department has been bench marked us and as are indicated

in the staff report. >> and but, the key, bench mark, will be getting your endorsement of the term sheet when we do get there. and getting the adjustment of the board of supervisors for the term sheet. >> and during the ena period is a period that you go through, before you in time to delete to make sure that everything that works and that will include the approval to still on, and the commissioner on the staff and to, and addressing their trust consistency and approval. the or because this is a valuable asset of the court and that is going to be tied up for that. and one year to two year period or in the ena period and where providing the ena, and that any material work process from the architects that it produced be assign able to the port in case

it does not move forward. and so that proves an opportunity for the port to move very quickly if we do decide to find and that developer to move forward with that development, and this, approval here, is not a project of approval on the sequa and it is giving the direction to the staff to allow us to work out the deal, and to find out the project itself is going to be subject to the sequa review and the completing of that review. and representatives of the developer, and the investments are here and the normal is here and any of it is here, and jay wallace here is here and so is an anderson and they have requested to speak and i don't know if you want to give them an opportunity to speak or they could speak during the speaker cards. >> okay. >> speaker cards? >> i have quite a few speaker

cards none of the folks that you just mentioned are on them. >> so we will show the discretion if you want to give them a few seconds. >> why don't you have them come and speak for a moment and introduce themselves. >> all right. >> and hey, i'm norm and i am the president of it in sahi and just very briefly to just give more time, and i was looking around me, okay. and i would like to thank them and the city attorney's office while we were able to go through all of the terms in the ena and try to iron them out for this meeting and to i would like to thank the port commission and the mayor and we are eager to come back on and get on with the design process and the leasing terms and get back to the neighborhood to show them what we are up to

>> so we can come back. >> and thank you for your persist ans. >> i am looking forward to having a dinner show back there again. >> me too. >> is there a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> all right. >> is there and i have a number of people here for public comment and i am sure how many are left. we have mortan be be and after him is marve cast man. and then, bill anna.

aka, carroll peterson and i am a jazz singer here in town. and i was very sad when tiatra loss their lease. 6 million people have visited that show and now, i feel like tiatro can bring in this force for tourism as well. and i think that the difference between t. atro and babalon and the number of employees, that tiatro has as was just mentioned before with the weight staff and everything like that. and it employs a lot of people so it also hires a lot of musicians and as you know it is difficult in the city to find the live entertainment and for this, we are very fortunate. so i will leave you with a quote from my friend, fill l*ips from new york.

performing for two tours, and life ining san francisco sfo 6 months was one of the greatest experiences of my career, even though i have performed all over the world and on stage and film and even for pope john in italy, this opportunity gave me the chance to be a kid again the management and the crew were incredible to work with and the people that i met in san francisco have remained life long friends, thank you, and san francisco. for giving me the opportunity as they say, i left my heart in san francisco. thank you, commissioners. >> and last is trish sher man? >> and anyone else that did not submit a card, please come forward. >> okay, come on up. >> you don't have to have a card to speak. >> is there any other public

comment? >> seeing none, our last speaker, fredrick eleris flt >> good evening, commissioners and port director. >> are we going to get sued? >> pardon me. >> no, i think that you will find my presentation a little interesting. i am representing here this afternoon, a group of residents and property owners known as recreation and open space for the water front. our past history working with this site goes back 35 years. on this site to find out what is going on. and that includes, working with aaron peskin and pier 27 when it was going to be a shopping center, that the mayor brown proposed. and which was initially going to be a recreation alpha celebrity from new york that was 90 percent of the public wanted but over four years there was a battle for what happened to that. and subsequent, to that, there was a battle for changing the heightth of this parcel, from 40 feet which was zoned that

way originally to 80 feet, by developer to want to put a hotel on that site. and that involved five different meetings by the port. and it is over 300 people turning out to those meetings say that no, we do not want the 85 foot building on that site, and aaron is the president of the board of supervisors at that time and got up and said that i am introducing legislation to stop that to make it 40feet tall and in addition to that, the same groip in supporting that effort also works vigorously with aaron and to stop eight washington street. the project right across the street that received 67 percent of the voters, the voters and the registered voters to stop that project. and now, this particular site is very unique. and in fact, there has been several studies about its value by other developers that were interested in this site and have been for a long time. and one site that was projected to have the highest revenue

income in the city was a corner of broad way and van ess avenue with the highest traffic and the highest value of drivers that came to that site and this became to be as the most valuable site of real estate in the city of san francisco by the number of people that came and the value of their eye balls if you will coming by that intersection. >> but, here i am talking about, representing over 400 property owners and condo owners and including the golden gateway commons and the 101, and tell graph hill, and of which i represented those groups, for decades and they are concerned about what happens with this site with zani and came here with the first proposal without ever, having any knowledge whatsoever in the north east water front and historic district and the requirements that had it to meet the zoning requirements at that time and they admitted that they had not gone out and done the studies about that when they made the first

presentation and that stopped them for three years before and they have now gotten the yes who is a hotelare to come m and go ahead. we are concerned that they may not compliment, the north east historic water front, zoning requirements. and we want to be sure that is done. >> so thank you for taking my time. we have hired two attorneys that will pursue the environmental aspects and look forward to participating with you. >> thank you. >> sorry. >> time. >> any further public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners? >> commissioner woo ho. >> i think that we have been looking at this site for a long time and as the yes recounted it has been a lot of different possibilities. and they are obviously it is a treasured san francisco institution as was mentioned by

one of the speakers along with the other comparable, beach plan blanket and we are looking forward to have the opportunity to bring them back. and i think that obviously we are not here to talk about the specific terms and etc., but i think that we have agreed that this site seems feasible for them and i am in support of moving for ward. and look forward to hearing as we go through the ena, and more details on how it is. and obviously we will continue to want to respect that it is going to compliment the neighborhood and i think our processes he allow for everybody to speak up and give us input, but i do think that this has been through a lot of review, and i know that since the first time, they did present, that there has been a lot more community out reach, which is appropriate, and which we continue to encourage them to do going forward and so i am support of moving forward with the ena. >> commissioner adams?

>> i also appreciate i rise in support of this, and i think that this would be a good fit. and just recently, i was up in seattle and there was a i ran into a disani and something like that in seattle and i was surprised and walking down the street and i don't know if it has something to do with the one here but i did see one up here in seattle and when i was up there walking around and so i think that it is a good fit and it has been well thought out. and it seems to have been a treasure in san francisco. and i have only been living here since 2003. and if we are going by the proper steps, and doing everything right, i think that this will continue to be a treasure here. and in san francisco. and has my support. thank you. >> thank you. >> and also i will concur, with somebody that did enjoy it when it was here. and i know that some of you mentioned that a lot of

tourists were going through but i think that a lot of locals attended as well. but i think that this project really, looks to embody many of the values and the ideals of san francisco. and in other support for the arts, but also the support for work workers as well and it is nice to see the two married here in this project and coming and speaking and so highly about, both sides of the equation. and coming together on this project. so i am very excited to see it go forward. and thank our staff for working on this to bring, the resolution, forward. so we can continue these discussions. so, well, commissioner adams? >> well, maybe you can swir this direct? >> is this normal, this one year, initial term plus the extensions of the four six months, extensions 100,000 dollars can you explain that? is that normal? >> it is, it is, a fit within the normal. and because, they spend it usually will be for the 24

months, of negotiations period, or the initial period. and lead to the six month extension and that will give you two or three years and in this case, they want to move very quickly for the obvious reasons and they want to do it in 12 months. however, you know, no more range, they did say, that well, give us additional, and give us some, wiggle room to be able to withstand it. and so, they are still looking at 2 and a half compared to three and so it is within the normal range. >> thank you. >> all right. >> so, all in favor of resolution, 15-31. >> aye. >> opposed? >> resolution, 15-31 carries. >> okay. >> item 15, new business? >> just reiterate your earlier comment president katz, to report back on the port's preparations for the el nino events and i did not gather

anything else. >> okay. >> i would like to ask at some point, will we be able to have an up date on the building behind the ferry. yes, that is planned to come back on, but i will reiterate it on you again. >> and new business, is there a motion to adjourn in memory of --. >> i am sorry. >> let he now to reconvene in closed session. >> so we will be moving into [c] >> the motion to --. >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> second.

have a great kc staff manage an incredible program with an incredibly small amount of people but have great partners the city's cost is $650,000 a year to fund the kc program we add to this private money some donations in city bank to make the program a reality it is every income kindergarten in the security guard that's correct. >> from the stand point sorry. >> (inaudible). >> yeah. >> well, i wanted to go to the point you asked on the back end the college end our focus on making college more affordable the initiative to contain the cost of college education while we put more money out there we

don't want it to be used for other purposes more opportunities available for that young people that's why we're fighting the fight when we put u cut the pell grant and increase the interest you see initiatives to under those there the pell grants but also to incentivizes states to do more important higher education and when federal money comes along not to underwrite but to do more important the kids in terms of what the treasurers cisneros a long time ago which i went to college and initiative to encourage families to start bank account but it wasn't automatic the way it is and families trying to reach for the hardest ones to reach it the other ones

had bank accounts to it is not a decision to make to do it is done now they take it from there so it is really quite a beautiful thing and again, you'll secure a lot during the presidential campaigns about college education to add community college for the college as well to it is a budget we say you increase the deficit if you don't invest in education to, in fact, there's a loss so we're again at the other end when this model travels there the country it could create an approach where the federal government can participate as a parent and at left or level we're not at that

part yet thank you to jose cisneros for education in our country once again san francisco is leading the way. >> there are initiatives that we're having congress to have features the program in terms of assistance to state predicated states containing the cost of education in terms of cost of education it just being frugal just fiscally sound in how the institutions are run i'm not christ the institutions we're getting more back for the students for that initiatives that reduce the cost of student loans or initiatives we've had in the congress for a

while we're proud that is part of the initiative that is a good initiative more things we've been working on for a while which is proposing the next idea others that want to go further the consent of money the $350,000 berry new sanders says the cost for the country has already been we want to make that affordable and have qualify of the education and have public-private partnerships do their really understand that we have to pay the bill at the end of the day and go into many anything we do for education enhances our country aspirations the people the conceiveness of the people in the world i've seen the invests in education

all do more to bring money to the treasury we need to know what it means for people to reach their aspirations and education innovation begins in the classroom and have it is all succeed beautifully this way (laughter) maybe time for one more and everybody needs to get back to school. >> (inaudible). >> well, first of all, let me say i don't know if any one of us can express our they to kate it is a sad life beautiful and

all the prospects of the future of this person insufficient funds out so how we treat and value every single leave is important to us in san francisco and california and in our country kate steinle law says you have a 5 year minimum sentence for re-entry into the country that didn't really address the prop at hand the person perpetrate of that tragedy spent a long time in jail and the 5 mandate minimum didn't add to what we need a better communication amongst the intermits whether the immigration service or law enforcement we should be putting focus judges come to me over

time in congress when necessary come in inform their appropriations they say give us appropriations we don't need a mandatory sentence but the discretion to address the case my climate change in this case i don't see i think we can do something but more than that and i support the sanctuary city i think that this horrific crime as terrible as it is is not a reflective of the sanctuary city to do the answer the comprehensive immigration reform this will address some of the issues and the minimum sentence of re-entry to the country and secondly, we have to have

background checks in how people are access to firearms this is a background checks whether or not that into have stopped this it stopped millions on the books but now extend to other things online sales and those kinds of that emerged with the advances in technology so there is plenty we can do and shouldn't just think about it but having mandatory sentence of re-entry what seasoned happened in san francisco i'm sorry mayor. >> i happen to agree i'm focused specifically on the circumstances as well as to what agencies did in discussing to bring somebody back that didn't have to be brought back that's another area to come to an agreement and

again i don't think that those cases law the way i've read it addresses that circumstance but i'm very much for more communication among the law enforcement agencies in my opinion is less to do with sanctuary city and more to do with communication among the law enforcement you can't have a good communication if an agency device spot to communicate we need to correct that locally as well as regionally. >> (inaudible). >> well, we made the discovery the memorandum with an the sheriff's department prevented people from communicating once you start it, it is a sleep slop

not to communicate this is wrong when we are engaged with people with a criminal record history you've got to have more communication of the circumstances around that i'm a true believer that communication will help people to understand what we face today. >> (inaudible). >> yeah. you know, i think that is the private claim and again, i take this position officially on behalf of the city the people of san francisco in those circumstances need more communication a good policy for all law enforcement officials. >> thank regular
