and lastly everyone has walked other than pier 70 along illinois street to know necessarily you get the sidewalk strapped out we have a liability problem they're in some such terrible shape many problems solved additional and have to say how committee fully supports everybody and the go forward thank you. >> thank you any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner brandon >> thank you el lean for a wonderful report. >> so as far as the i f d financing is this the only money we will have or maybe there will be other money. >> we hope other money so the plan is to set up our capital

improvement acknowledges the southeast sea lot 47 and the forest city maybe missing one we will continue the tool with our promotions as a way to finance public infrastructure and this is our first actually, the board of supervisors approves the initial foorpgs this is the first we've motives through to set up the i f d here's the plan and start ref revenue for the projects for the crane coffee park parcel we have port wide i f d-6 project areas we'll be coming down with those projects more infrastructure financing district and briktd forgot plans? >> for this particular project

this is something available and this is the only funding available at this point the board sets, 2011 in terms of how much to bonds and not to exceed in terms of how much ton collect they so for have been generous we've but in thirty percent contingency we've been aggressive with how much we'll earner so the at the has capacity with our partners in redevelopment this is the best work sometimes, people underestimate how many times the property could turnover and we'll be having kinetics what meet in the ports capital improvement plan whether the sea level or seawall or other things we'll seek from the board of

supervisors and the supervisorial for our niece the parking story was not around the needs maybe long term we can been maybe paper bag building a garage are something for more receive out of that sightly and not just surface parking >> thank you commissioner woo ho in terms of 6 cost of capital how do you rank he f d and in terms of the quality of the credit. >> no more of in terms of what you have to pay for the cost of capital what you have to repay where would i rearrange this as efficiency of capital use. >> so i think the question and tell me if i'm on the right of

track the repayment we on the market is very amenable and deprived about secured financing and so we will be working with r f a where a i f d bonds many bonds the market knows about them and seen the issuance in the 4 percent and high 4 so i think this will be an efficient source to bonds against i think the market today lease if we structure it credible will responds positively and, of course, it is repaid by the i f d and the lands security is the securities so it is very good if a fiduciary lends never mind of the port funds it is implements in terms of the the repayment

and in theory relatively speaking you do you understand my question. >> i'm arraigning it fourth jail bent over backwards and revenue bones the second no jealous bonds first and the program bonds thirds and the i f d the for your best estimate and expense ratios financial to whether the flaeg use trigger the tax exemption. >> does that answer your question. >> yes. you go please don't miss my job. >> commissioner adams very ma ticks report very well-thought-out i have the same question as commissioner woo ho has it is good to see that mayor ed lee and supervisor cowen supported the two resolution in

that is going on to the full board and their revisit i think on the 18 it is good to see he supports support that and appreciate the hard work from the team and thank you. >> he also want to thank you you're port is so good we don't have a lot of questions you covered so much i'm also supportive i think this is the way of taking care of some of the items we've been finding out how to quit those last few pieces of i f d bonding opportunities one other arrow in our quiver speaks for itself and glad for the toupts for those projects also as we move forward to maybe

other times where that may make sense as well it is as you pointed out the cost is at this time at any rate is quite low if there is an opportunity to use it as well so i'm excited about the use of this particular for the parks and fourth how to have that whole on the project i'm excited and pleased to come up with a way to do that i think commissioner adams mentioned the mayor and board of supervisors and supervisor cowen for bringing this forward and helping >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? abstinence resolution 15 dash

43 carries. >> item 12 request the authorization for the proposals for retail opportunities for the building on cellist nut in the embarcadero. >> madam president and commissioners omen mark the assistants deputy director of releasing for the ports. >> nice to have you here. >> you might recall that the first we introduced you to this project was i believe july of 2014 at a point anthony and i prepared an informational presentation to you our vision of representing the bilk head building the premise that after the vacation of the america's cup activities we wanted to see something other than just

industrial storage and warehousing and parking we were looking for uses that would bring the public into the building and evening liken the area the second time the port staff came to you in july of 2015 and at a point the staff had a vision of the uses at the pier 29 bulk head building those uses were about the space arts and crafts and designer maker type of uses and at this time the february if you commission was positive we got good february if new wag and others port stakeholders so much so at a point you the conversions directed us afford

with the next steps that is putting together on rfp so that's why we're here tonight to seek an approval the rfp unfortunately i'm still challenge with some vision issues not with the project but actually susan reeled we'll be zaebl to answer questions. >> susan thank you, ma thank you, mark deputy director for real estate i'm talking about the request for proposals 20 thousand square feet at pier 29 and this is just adjacent north of the james r. example

herman terminal the question itself we will on or about the rfp panel consistent with the port approved standards and the rsvp will include instructions for submittal and a naufrt description of the opportunity and the approval process lease terms selection process and the schedules important how the rfp and the approval process works we're focusing on uses that will create sales in arts spaces for crafts and dry goods and may include artists studios for artists and designs and innovators and, i.e., deems and

delays and the goal to accent the sxerps of waterfront for the visitors and residents without competing with existing use among the waterfront we will advertiser the rfp and insure we cast a wide net we'll use the port website addressed the official city newspapers street contacts, san francisco african-american chamber of commerce, the hispanic champion of san francisco and chinese chamber of commerce of san francisco the lgbt chamber of commerce which includes the again and again o golden gate san francisco business times and the neighborhoods outreach advertising network and super those are the next steps and one the things we will be doing is

after is shorts list is selected the advisors please state your name and address will recommend to the staff and what is your name to the commission for a presentation and feedback before a final recommendation we're hoping to have an inclusive right to have the negotiations by august of 2016 and then we will come back with a final approval to the port commission and it will go on to the board of supervisors. >> so if you have any questions mark and i are available to answer any questions for your. >> commissioner woo ho. >> overwhelms is there a

motion so moved. >> public comment? >> how much time do i have 3 minutes. >> game changer i'm john, i sits on the in and of itself citizens advisory committee and start next week week with the waterfront i'm glad to do that. >> pier 29 an incredibly important pier we want to remembered you that don't? the site many of us stopped a mall 10 years ago at the site this is next to director mirror in june of 2012. >> watched the pier in front fall to the ground the cruise terminal it is important to the waterfront i encourage you not to move forward i'm concerned

that there is zero community bullet ♪ process staff came here in july and haven't heard and under the impression we'll get a sense of what is proposed for the next decade there is a new meeting for the next commission meeting i'll ask you to do today particularly important what is approaching that conflicts that the waterfront plan in two ways number one the waterfront use plan calls for a mixed opportunities recreation site in this location and, of course, he recognize the cruise terminal there is nothing to prevent us from trying to put recreational use in chelsea in the shed so this proposal is zero recreation no chance for people to come and

get active near the waterfront second in the waterfront plan itself it is researched in the ports waterfront lands revenue on page 81 did table by law my understanding those use are on this allowed on the site specific not allow artists and designer and commercial on that this box is empty that maybe a use i think if it is not recreation a good idea if we go to create and plan the port commission can ignore it this use is not allowed here i don't think so the value of going introduce the process of the next year and a half i know that the people feel this deserves sunset before that moves and it will happen quickly this is a shipyard opportunity i know you want to do imaginations or

things differently i fear the prime site moving forward will be yet another flash point we don't want thank you very much >> is there any additional public comment. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is bob i'm wanting of the barbary coast neighborhood association and a member of another organization we recognize a need to bring pier 29 into a productive use had has a lot of interest in the neighborhoods there are a number of housing unit across the street this would be a different use that has historically took place with the retail

opportunities proposed that clearly whether bring potential more traffic and congestion, etc. while i think there was some good presentations in general and most recently in july i good was under the impression before the rfp was ordinances another step involved in the review or touching basis with the communities at that meeting we specifically so you get more community input on exactly what is going to be trans conspiring with that in mind certainly in the memorandum talking about dose presentation there is no real mention of public outreach or communication in review with the neighborhoods so if you compasses not to accept what the gentleman proposed he would ask for the

rfp be orchard that there is some soft public review included in the proposal and something made very explicit in that proposal about the public outreach that will take place thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed and commissioner may clarify for the record both speakers referenced pier 29 for 20 thousand square feet justice of bulk head building the full shed is one and 50 thousand square feet and this is subject to the waterfront planning we've been talking about this process on the rfp and the use of bulk heads started before a decision to go forward with the

waterfront ludicrously plan update i want to clarify nothing it ruled out in public assess for the shed itself. >> thank you for the clarification. >> i would have been surprised in our bulk head was only 20 thousand square feet. >> commissioner woo ho. >> well, a couple of thoits thoughts i think we've been discussing what to do with the bulk head after the fire, etc. i think that two things he'll say that probably another discussion with the community might be a good idea i think what director mirror said to clarify and not the entire pier media question when he hear the presentation was i guess the restriction of

what we're considering as the uses i'm not saying i'm against or for what was proposed but not sure there is enough information to say that the only uses we should consider so i guess i'm still in the air of what is some of the properties in the bulk heads we've discussed a variety of things so the staff is not trying to keep us informed in that regard it is a little bit hard to come down with a specific opinion we'll only treason proposals win this zoning speaks for itself with that touch use i think we need more information and button inputs that would be helpful. >> commissioner brandon. >> thank you very much for the presentation

well, everyone knows i'm a big proponent of ac r.c. i'm happy we spoke it a sounds like we need to revisit the northern waterfront cac not quite sure others proposals that could go at the bulge e bulk head site i support 24 proposal i don't know if it is the fweft use for the site or the only use and i think that the rfp is pretty i don't to say board but i don't know if it is really telling our audience what exactly we're looking for. >> because whether i read the

staff report i'm a little bit xhufdz on we're looking for a master lease holder to bring in different types of businesses and that's my question. >> what exactly are we looking for. >> well, we were looking for one tenants hopefully that will perhaps have a number of different uses you know it there may be some food service and something resolving around the artist space the making and use of san francisco made goods that sort of thing. >> what do you mean by dry goods. >> that's the definition in the waterfront plan i don't know it actually is excluded tobaccos that's the reason for the definition i think dry goods are

crafts you know made articles by people that sort of thing. >> maybe i could help we've had discussions with the cac the speakers are correct we've not discussed since july the cleveland of lubld of land use plan to put-down this spates out for a restaurants on the normal bids and in talking to the communities through formally through the waterfront through the if you wag but the rest of our there was a lot of concern about a major restaurant coming in and taking iuoe all the space aced cannibalizing the tenants the market share we definitely didn't want to do that we narrowed our focus to something

nostril competitive to people that operate that building are in the fisherman's wharf area and so the reasons we are looking towards more of a masters lease we're hoping to get someone some entities or combination of entities that actually rfp allows must not bidders, if you will, to occur rats the space 20 thousand square feet is not exactly small we don't want one yours 20 thousand square feet use that capacity to manage a lot of small stalls, if you will, if you think of the farmer's market within the building on a permanent basis a vision around that it is clear that is not coming throw in the language we've presented in the staff report and the rfp we have more

work to do but the february as you recall the gentleman doesn't like this characterized as a muni mall but there is the basket we've narrowed down to scho point there are quite a few of the things to do and the most popular right now the best use to put it out for the restaurant that would pay us the most money he shouldn't if the communities not that this use we've proposed is less money. >> so kind of like the ferry building but san francisco made or locally made and more locally maids as a regional entity as the state lands we can't limit it to san francisco maids but

certainly hopefully, we'll get users that will have that benefit. >> i think one of the things we've talked about in the past is being proximate even though to the crew ship terminal and actually people get off the cruised ship they're walking around or on mayor way to the cruise ship terminal but something else to extend their money in the course we have another tenants further done pier 39 and, etc. not look around here not much amenities within the terminal into another major cruise ship tenor in the worlds people are teamed by lots of things whether locally made or cultivating sensitive etc., ect we need to think about that and commissioner adams might have pointed out outs in the

neighborhoods of the cruise ship terminal i understand with in terms of how we think about that that with whole neighborhoods and the people that are going to live there and people that will be visiting how to fits together. >> fair enough that was our goal in the artists and residents being a combination of something that could create employment for people and entertainment for the number of visitors not only from the cruise ship by the visitors enjoying the park are from the area up to the waterfront it is somewhat december late i think what is before me had some of the questions as my colleagues and some thought other speakers and guess i missed wale although i interpreted we won't allow any

kind of food given there is not anything inexpensive but sit down restaurants nearby was something with food that should be allowed but you articulated it just now is creating something different that is not the that isn't traditionally i'm not a word i don't want to use but i know the goal and owe appreciate the staff and everyone is trying to do something deft that will serve the guests coming off the ships and a opportunity to showcase some of our artists and makers here in don't have the turnlt on the water to showcase what they build or make or produce i think this is a great opportunities trying to figure out a way to do

something different and serve the community and has not come out and that might be worthwhile to go reach out you've articulated this is a place to showcase local artists and local makers and not necessarily san francisco but we need more description and he shouldn't we did this with you in july the staff articulated i apologize so much time has begun but it is for the fresh. >> no, no i'm saying not as clear in the actual resolution coming forward by the nature of an rfp more outreach with the communities to insure they thinks what was presented to us previously is really what is in

t reach. >> a theme to be articulated understand we can't restrict ourselves to san francisco going back to the cruise ship terminal that is coming from all over and a castle based theme. >> the bay area theme registering you and i have talked about the you whiners and other things blended in with the artists this is a touch california what it offers. >> commission the articulation that's my faults mark had more in the staff report and paired it back but in july what was articulated. >> a concern not going to integrate any proposals or information concerned the waterfront yet that is clearly stated envisioned for other parts of pier this is a small

piece it maybe out of clarification commissioner adams. >> i kind of think that we should think about holding this thing over. >> that is clear. >> clearly at the end of the day we're trying to do something with different people with different opinions we want the best waterfront i think that clearly not enough public involvements and don't seem not as clear as at vision i think we taken back locally. >> do you want us to put a major restaurants back in the table this is h. >> i'm not suggesting a major restaurant i'm suggesting ambiance. >> clarify you're in the air of the bulk heads and the uses

do you want us to put the high uses back in the table or the things we're articulated. >> i don't know they have to be in conflict. >> from a financial stand point they are. >> maybe that's where we need to work. >> previously we like the vision that is articulated we want something different a matter of somehow it seems that as was represented by speakers they didn't grasp that understanding this is something different and unique and we're trying to permitted for effort to the community. >> i'm sorry commission i'm on board i'm trying to clarify the direction from the commissions to the work they want us to side on the is use i understand very, very clearly the support we need inform talk with the communities and we have beyond the two people that came today wrong

side that so the representation of the community we've talked with we understand that point i'm trying to clarify do you want us to go back further than july and look at the resources. >> no. we're requiring the articulation of more or perhaps go back and incorporate some that was previously presented. >> i think (multiple voices). >> not cookie cutter we want to make sure that is clear and that's the kind of responses we'll get back i do want to reiterate that i don't accept it has to compete at the expense but starting of saying community benefits not on the best thing of the port we

have to be creative it takes thinking to get the vision right it's the challenge and not something you want to hear i'll say let figure out how to put this together. >> question spent the last two years but hiring. >> there's a term of art that maybe misunderstood by saying the highest and best use trying to roll out anything that is created automatically fall to the tenants will pay the most money to the site i get you're not asking that we wanted to be clear the ways the port had create opportunities. >> we can say i will ask the commissioners, i think we don't disagree we should not compete with our other tenants we can

somewhat agree but a good we're keeping the port healthy for everyone. >> so what i've heard not compete and make that a regional focus and get the best highest money is this the disconnections. >> the most money. >> well commissioners i'm for . >> (multiple voices). >> i said the note the hive money but don't think that is something you put the struggling arts if and give them sdountdz rent a great thing for the communities 3 is valuable real estate we're talking about i'm not assessing make the most money i agree we'll build a restaurant and compete that's not necessarily the vision. >> as i think so we're looking

for a master tenant that provides that diversity of use so that will be money jaet for the port and needed necessarily here on behalf of the appellant. >> a restaurant. >> restaurants but option for mixed use that will help we'll get that diversities and by going to a master tenant that falls open them to get creative and wear looking for ways to come up with different entities they'll be judged; is that correct. >> yes. we've been working an important for the last two years. >> we're talking about 20 thousand square feet we're not talking about the whole space we're all over the place whether with up to the 20 thousand square feet. >> it is a master of ice cream

perhaps we can concrete that perhaps additional outreach to the community they recognize this is something that should be a benefit not for them to be concerned but on the contrary when we have heard them this is a combination of that outreach not just a within group but multiple groups incorporating something that benefits a elevator of our constituents, if you will, along the waterfront not just one group but i think that may needs to be clarified in some of the perhaps a little bit of additional outreach and bringing back at the next commission meeting. >> that's clear thank you. >> does that colleagues does that make sense. >> i think it should be noted

in the record that people may not like it, it is not speaking for the whole communities but people have the right to speak but they're not speaking for the whole communicates the community is a board and people have different opinions that's the inhabitant they know that niece to be said thank you. >> i thought i jusaid that. >> (laughter). is there a motion to hold it >> we don't need a motion. >> item 13 new business. >> public comment on new business? and one item i nodded calm a couple of meetings ago if

at some point the report in the near future on the sea level rise so we can have presentation on that. >> there will be commissioner vice president haney but we haven't - we haven't with got a date not on the calendar but as soon as we feel more confident and sometime in january or february. >> i think january might be a little bit premature. >> premature. >> working on some of the delays. >> the other item at some point good to get an update on the building behind us. >> one ferry plaza right. >> i move to adjourn. >> second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> the meeting is adjourned
