maintenance crew and replacing the wall for the water to be at acceptable levels. replaced harbor navigation lights with led brighter lights and instituted monthly stakeholder meetings to ensure that the south beach harbor community that they hear what the community wants and we work collaboratively moving forward. pier 40 the real estate staff has begun to process leases with the tenant tenants bringing them up to market rates. we added new restrooms and cleaned the pier and changing out storage units replaced with mental -- metal storage cases, and very important to the community and to port staff. we're working with a long time tenant the bay area association of disabled

sailors to enlarge the premises for access to the bay for the disabled community. those discussions are well under way and we anticipate having that finalized in the next 30 days. they're a cornerstone of public access in the community down there. they do a lot of work with the wounded warriors and other organizations and the port wants to be supportive of them, so next on your list of what we've done was update the rules and regulations and other administrative practices. the current rules and regulations date back to 1986 whether the harbor was founded. >> >> we wanted to transition the process of the harbor to reflect city and port's policies and have a transition into the financial systems. in

consultant with the city attorney the staff has put together new documentations, new rules and regulations, harbor birthing agreements and statement of owner, fee schedule, locker agreements. these rules are more transitional in nature. they're evolutionary rather than revolutionary. they define the harbor master's rules and allowable and prohibited activities in the harbor and how applications are made for births and how they're assigned or terminated and more up-to-date stuff than when originally written. a couple of specific changes. there were definition to partnerships. many ships are owned by partnerships and it clarifies how many are allowed and sunset provisions and spousal rights. before if a

husband and wife or husband and husband owned a boat together and one died the rules stated they would have to leave the harbor so that has been changed to a more -- actually it's in concert now with san francisco marina's rules and regulations and recreation and park department. another thing that is new how the boats might be saild and seem odd and a number of boats don't move and because of at&t or access and rules must be taken out of the slip at least 10 times a calendar year or the harbor master can take away the berthing rights. insurance rate have been reviewed and new policy limits have been updated and standards of san francisco marina and other marinas. the staff has

worked hard with the slip holder association, the advocates for south beach harbor to review the rates with -- or these rules with them. we are going to have another public meeting with the south beach community on october 1. i want to correct the commission meeting package that says october 8. it's actually october 1 at 5:00 o'clock at south beach harbor. this will be advertised well and emails sent to all slip holders to gain input. the new rules are hosted on the web page and an email blast to slip holders was sent to solicit comments and we will meet with the public again on october 1 to gain feedback on the new documents and procedures. we anticipate coming back to the port commission october 13 so we can continue this evolution and transfer of the south beach harbor into the port. lastly i

would like to introduce the new harbor master joe monroe. joe has been at the harbor for about three, four years but new as the south beach harbor harbor master and i will let him introduce himself and some of his staff. [applause] >> you're making me feel real important. >> you are. >> good afternoon commissioners. my name is joseph monroe. i'm the current harbor master of south beach harbor. a little history of myself. i started in south beach harbor in 2009. before that i worked at marina bay yacht harbor and with marine spill response and served our country in the united states navy so it's been a pleasure to work with the port. if i speak on behalf of my staff and myself we have enjoyed the transition. it's been an honor working with

peter daly and port staff updating the rules and regulations and we really think this will help in the long run making sure that the harbor runs well. i would like to take the time to introduce linda green. she's our office manager down at south beach. she will get everything prepared and signed with the tenants so it's a pleasure to meet you all and thank you for your time and peter daly and i will not hesitate to answer any questions that you have. thank you. >> thank you. congratulations and welcome. >> that concludes our report. >> thank you. >> thank you. public comment? seeing none. public comment is now closed commissioner woo ho. >> i recall in 2012 when we first took over the marina and i guess the reaction to some of

the actions that we took at that time. i still remember we had 41 public speaking cards at three minutes each so if you recall -- >> [inaudible] [laughter] >> i counted them up that day. i was president of the commission. i just want to say the fact there is zero public comment on what we have done thus far and that we have a new harbor master so congratulations again and the fact we are now continuing to improve how we manage and administer this facility, and bring it up-to-date in terms of how the rules and regulations and i think some of the changes are needed so we can have clarification and i think it's a testament to the fact that while we didn't start out on perhaps the right foot we had a lot of reaction, very angry people, but i think over time they have understood i guess hopefully the wisdom of some of the actions that we took, and we did hear

them on the pricing and that has now been absorbed and i think now we have a smooth functioning marina so that's a testament to all of you and the actions we took at that time so it's a real delight to sit here today with zero public comment to go ahead and recommend the approval of these new rules which make a lot of sense. thank you. >> i would like to echo commissioner woo ho. i think you guys are doing a great job. joe welcome. they're a lot of documents here and when you come back can you just highlight the major changes in each of the documents or where we were to where we are now? >> yeah, commissioner that's a real fair question and executive director moyer and i -- we will elaborate more. one of the issues that came about was the

old rules in 1986 you could put on one page and now they have -- now it's many pages as you can tell but we will do a better job to show you any significant changes. the main ones are on partnerships and the license agreement incorporates the city's rules and regulations, but we will be glad -- >> so are the fees staying the same? >> for now, yes. >> okay. good luck on october 1. >> thank you. >> could i just ask i guess when you develop these did you consult with other marinas to the rules and policies so we know what the standards are out there? >> yes. [inaudible] i copied some of the rules from san francisco marina and they had more than 41 people that came in and i learned from their

mistaked and incorporated some changes and in consultation with the attorney we crafted a hybrid document that has san francisco marina but the port's slant as well and yes. to answer your question yes. >> i echo the comments. it sort of speaks for itself they're not a lot of people objecting but i heard from people that berth the boats they appreciate the changes that have taken place and i only heard positive feedback about our initial foray into some changes and i look forward to hearing more specifically but i did have just knit picky things and from the absence of bert -- i have friends that are sellers and will go on long trips so if they're absent from the bert longer than six months approval

won't be with held if it's along those lines? >> correct and the harbor master details the authority if they're hung up in baja or something he is not unreasonable and kicking them out. >> i am curious why we don't allow siewba diving tanks and seems they put tanks on the boat. as a diver i'm not sure about that one and will leave it for another time but curious about that. >> i don't know off the top of my head. joe do you know? >> [inaudible] >> safety. i will find a little more about it. >> seems counter intuitive to not allow them on boats and really want to thank all of you and as i said the feedback that we're getting anecdotally is very positive. >> thank you. >> thank you. next item.

>> okay so just want to take a quick opportunity to officially recognize joe monroe and linda green for their tremendous work. we did have a rough start as you pointed out commissioner with our boaters but a very long transition period for the staff when they didn't know when they were going to leave the state employee as the redevelopment employment and be city employees. that was complete beyond our control and created an environment of anxiety that joe and linda and denise who has been -- denise turner and our liaison between pier one and south beach have been handling magnificently and i couldn't be more pleased to be working with all three of you and thank you and welcome aboard. the staff is terrific and i have gotten

but fantastic reports and if we could have more berths. thank you. >> thank you. item 12 a authorization for negotiation with desilva desilva gates construction company in the alternative with the newly formed joint venture with newco and exclusive negotiations agreement. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am joined by staff and i would like to ask given the hour would you like a presentation on this item. >> i'm sorry. i read the item and i have no questions. it was pretty clear. >> and you missed the presentation on this item last month last meeting. >> yeah, i was here. you would have been the one

commissioner brandon because you weren't here and if you're happy we had the briefing. >> so moved. >> is there a second? >> second. >> public comment. >> now public comment and is there public -- is there public comment on this item? seeing none. public comment is now closed. i do want point out in terms of changes from the last presentation most of it was just clarifying some of the details and there's not as i see it no significant substantive from the prior presentation but some further clarification on the roles going forward. >> correct. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? this resolution carries. thank you. >> item 15 new business. >> commissioners i have the two new business items that you

suggested earlier. president katz i won't reiterate therm in the interest of time. is there anything else? >> that's it. >> great. thank you. >> is there -- >> so moved. >> adjourn in memory of alvin b. petrie and zeke grader. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> meeting is adjourned. thank you everybody.
