this through the chair. >> is there a time constraint. >> not for us we've presented our recommendations so through the chair. >> not for sfpd. >> if you want to move this to be continued. >> to what date and. >> two weeks. >> madam clerk do you have any. >> as far as time restraints the board has 90 days to respond to the phase and passed the 60 days so. >> would you like if it was in two weeks we'll be within the 90 days. >> let me just double check - >> sorry we're checking here. >> i want to continue that. >> is the project sponsor

hotel epik here. >> okay. >> i really. >> we have to take public comment so i wanted to find out if you're here yes, we did. >> i'm just seeing if it is possible i'm sorry for the delay. >> okay. the 90 days will be june 1, '20 there is time. >> there is time. >> okay. >> supervisor sheehy has made a motion to continue the item i'd like to take public comment on that motion if anyone wants to speak on the continuance you're welcome to do so, now

sir, would you like to speak to the continuance. >> okay so is there - do you, you need a reinforcement. >> that's fine this item is continued to our next public safety and neighborhood services committee on what date? and april 26th i believe that one will be cancelled from may 3rd and i'm sorry may 10th to may 10th this is continued to the may to the effect of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. >> madam clerk call item 3 ambassador on the short term and long term strategies for the

heavy storms that effects cities in district 7, 8, 9 and 11. >> hello mr. kelly thank you. >> can i make opening statements. >> yes. >> oh, i'm sorry yes, please supervisor yee has joined us supervisor yee. >> okay colleagues today's hearing is on an issue that effects most of districts of the supervisors that are here today the issue of flooding this year we have experienced heavy rains this has impacted many of the residents in district 7, 8, 9 and 11 and in the neighborhoods district the upper great highway

pine lake neighborhood and in district 7 the 15 avenue area and ingleside terrace neighborhood and just neighborhood in sunny side neighborhood across over to district 8 and 11 the terrace cayuga in district 9 and the folsom area much of the flooding is exasperated by the geography of the neighborhoods i've heard from my residents it dealt with flooding in their homes and felt their frustration because as a property owner nothing more frustrating that is that is actually in a low lying flood area we want to thank my colleagues many who are sitting

on that committee and joined the hearing today core co-sponsor sponsoring that supervisor tang and supervisor fewer and supervisor safai and supervisor ronen i also want to thank the many residents from those effected neighborhoods that have contracted our offices over the years as well as those that are here today and taking time out of your day or work to come today to see how flooding has affected their homes i believe as a city and county our members with can implement short term and long term plans to maintain the flooding in the impacted neighborhoods citywide i've been meeting with the business school and public utilities commission for several months to discuss the short term and long term plans for flooding mitigation

and sewer improvements and want to thank the general manager harlan kelly and the project manager stephanie to present those plans i'd like to have general manager harlan kelly present. >> good morning, supervisors just want to take the opportunity to talk about the flooding today as you'll see this is a complex topic with a long history we're going to provide you with information you requested today with long term and short term strategies that addresses flooding but first i'd like to set the stage by telling you we understand flooding is a tremendous burden for those residents and businesses that are impacted in the pockets of city where needing occurs it is disruptive to lives and livelihood and we really want

help we have looked at every everything we can do from an engineering stand point to minimize flooding i want you to understand with the significant ratepayer dollars invest we plan to make there will always be a storm larger in the same neighborhood that will continue to flood and if we get a bigger storm than our types can say handle we want to make sure our residents and businesses are aware of their flood risks and have the resources at the disposal to take objections e actions to protect their property we're developing a suit of options for property owners to make the easiest possible to protect their investment this partnering

between city and the property owners will help everyone to be more prepared for what mother nature brings our way i want to pass it over to stephanie harrison with the san francisco public utilities commission project manager to present on the progress we made to combat flooding in san francisco stephanie. >> good morning, supervisors and my name is stephanie harrison i'm a project manager for the san francisco public utilities commission can we get the slide on the screen you've asked for a long term and short term solutions so that's exactly what we'll cover. >> excuse me - do you have an extra copy.

>> can i have one, too? >> thank you. >> okay so in san francisco a combined collection with surveillance and flows about the same pipes and conveyed to the treatment flagrant before the epa run off or stormwater the largest former of pollution in the united states when our 12r789 hit the ground running it is loiter and nothing you've seeing on market street comes into the inclined

system we treat over 95 percent of the water that hit the ground running in san francisco our pipes are predominantly for stormwater in dry weather their by and when enough rain to fill the piecemeal it is 99 percent stormwater more than 99 percent stormwater mixed with sanctuary sewage that is in the system and the system is full and but with the large capacity in the pipes when the system fills in an intense rain the water can't get if it goes to the lowest lying area needing is 16 minutes a large storm up to an, however, and back into the system when the pathway is available the pipes by out.

>> i'll speak from this mike so stormwater is rain that runs overland and sanctuary sewage is it homes and businesses that is in our pipes during dry weather and combined flow the sewage mixes with the pipes our pipes are sized to manage stormwater so ♪ graphic you see this is in the folsom neighborhood the pipes their 96 inch pipes large on the streets and in dry weather 6 hundred and thirty gallons her pin a lot of sanctuary flow but when the pipe is full in assigned storm the system is full the water is a exiting the system out of man holes and pipes there is one and 60 thousand gallons per minute running underneath the neighborhood a value of 2 that

the plus percent is from sanctuary flow so just to give a perspective the construction in the 1840s a long time and for the first one hundred years the system was built without strong guidance we're aware of by 1941 the 5 year storm was defined by 1952 there was a requirement in place for new developments to be able to contain the 5 year design storm in the pipes that requirement has retained since >> can you explain that measure of 5 year storm. >> yes. that's a great question so we have over one hundred years of historical dictated of rainfall in the city that data under goes an analysts to look at the probability of

different size storms concurring so really i should be calling this one .3 inches of rainfall in 3 hours that is what the density and the duration of a large designed storm but so in a long term average over over the course of one hundred plus years it will come on a long term average once every 5 years but didn't come once in 5 years if we have one storm it means on my given year that size will occur so when we talk about you'll hear about a 5 year storm this is a our design i'll be talking about a one hundred year storm comes one time every one hundred years rolling the dice that is

in place over one and 10 years in the first part of record we didn't see flashy storms a really dense storm and the second half of the record we see more like on an average basis 9 of them in a 50-year period roughly every 5 years but in the recent years seen more flashy rainfall in a 5 or 15 minute period that yes, ma'am lasts a one hundred year even though that is - i use the terminology loosely from our design that is a 1.3 inches of rain for the design is our model of progression of rainfall that trails off to represent a natural event. >> i have one question about when you use the term flooding i

want to know the threshold that constitutes the flooding is it quarter of an inch how - when do you you designated as flooding. >> that's a great question. >> when we talk about you'll see some slides on that talks about just water on the streets and hear me refer to the flood risk and flood risk we clarify as low, memory and high flood risk and varies your flood risk depends on the land use the building types as far as what property damage so if you have a high density residential with a foot of water that is a high-risk but a parking lot that is like a memoranda to although there are different told her

that depends on the land use when i say flooding i'm talking about eninundation and flows on the streets water not getting into the system but flood risk i'm talking about we're talking about usually high and high flood risk yeah. >> i think it is important you explained the 5 year storm that's fine over 3 time period of one point whatever inch of rainy think that is important to explain not public that you could have a 5 year risk or a flood situation within 15 minutes so when that happens quam at a rate of constant rain divided into 3 hours or almost

like having if you were to use that number the ever 15 minutes the rain that came down - if you extend to 3 hours during the 15 minutes could be like 10 inches of rain what do you mean. >> i don't have that calculation off the top of my head the rainfall has a curve associated that represents an storm so it starts off and then the rain peaks and then aside that has the 10 has that shape and one hundred years has a peak 5 minute density or peak 15 minutes density that is 10sh9d with one hundred storm so we

could get a storm a one hundred storm in a 15 minute duration that is rains cats and dogs and coordinates to the 15 minute most dense period in a one hundred year storm that is a one hundred year storm even over a 10 minute duration that peaks suddenly and stops and over the duration was not as much rain does that answer your question? >> i want to make sure we are clear not only about the 3 hours because that is what happened in the flooding it was a short duration where the rain poured and overtook our system. >> right when we dine is the pipes we have a dynamic model that looks at the storm for a 3

hour storm including the 3 hour peak if we get the one hundred storm peak flows even if for a short duration our pipes can't accommodate all of that water. >> okay. so most recently in the recent last decade or so sfpuc has initiated our sewer improvement program as part of the progress we looked at what we'll be providing at the level of service from a historically and moving forward and the 5 year storm is endorsed if 2012 and 2016 and most recently conduct a resince study to evaluate the flood protection policy and each representation represents up to providing protection to a one hundred year

storm to protection in a 5 year storm we did a benefit cost analysis that showed the 5 year storm is the appropriate service for the san francisco public utilities commission that is consistent with other services do nationwide seattle and new york and chicago have a 5 year storm as the level of protection in urban areas i want to pause here though and say for those who experienced flooding we recognize a significant impact on lives and stressful i - we have to balance that with the fact that flood risk impacts less than one percent of san francisco. >> do you have a question. >> yeah. if you could walk me through the cost analysis i've seen the numbers and what those numbers mean i think that is important to be clear that so -

am i seeing $14 billion. >> that's a great question. >> i'm surprised you can see the numbers. >> and individual clarity who pays for that that would be helpful for the different numbers and put them in perspective in terms of what where the money comes from. >> this graph that is shown in the bottom right of the slide not intended not going to walk you through the whole fink or thing by the way, can the bottom line is that to get the city up to our 5 year storm level of protection we're already looking spending $2.3 billion to get the city fully you will up to that point if we want a higher level of protection to the one hundred year storm will cost $16 billion and all of those dollars they're

not tax dollars they are ratepayer dollars customers residents and businesses paying their sewer bill so - any cost that we're paying to improve flood protection in the pockets of san francisco will hit all the rate payers uniformly to do our infrastructure project if i've mischaracterized that i'm not on the finance side so the cost to remedy flooding in large storms are tremendous like $2 billion to get to our 5 year storm and every dollar we spend comes from the homes and businesses paying their sewer bills we have to prioritize carefully we need to balance and strike a balance between building flood

protection to benefit the pockets of the city that are flooding with ratepayer affordability citywide we have to do this in the face of other priorities as an organization for the wastewater system as well so the 5 year storm level of service strikes this balance that's what the flood resilience study concluded so supervisor sheehy be i believe to walk you through the slide at the end or substantially if you want to understand the study better. >> sorry one more question i know we asked you to keep this to 15 minutes we understand the questions will make the presentation longer than so let's say we decided the right balance to strike was for a 10 year as opposed to to a 5 year and the rate payers so pay the extra money let's pause in the

last tomorrow storm that happened where i immediately went to folsom the heart of my district to see the damage and what happened there is what you described earlier that the rain come forward quickly and zen for a short period of time and the flooding happened had we had pipes that could accommodate 10 year storms would that have prevented the flooding in folsom. >> not in large storms. >> so that's frustrating because even if we made the investment for a 10 year or 25 jr. or one hundred year storm when we have the dense persdz of rain like lastly that might be solve the problem; is that correct? >> yes. yes. >> general manager piloted if we paid to renovate, upgrade our system to one year storm with

the $15 billion have more flood protection for you know large stormsz but in 2004 a 200 year storm so you know there's always going to be a bigger storms like bequeath design the engineers have a standard their assigned and the policy decision for a standard and that's what the engineer carried forward the size of differentiate and the duration of shaking that's what you build but a risk a bigger quarter the storms we're facing storms every year but not an earthquake we need to engineer something to have a standard of engineering. >> go ahead supervisor safai has a question. >> thanks i'll wait but on this particular point so you said only one percent of the city experiences severe flooding. >> right flood risk in this is

built only what supervisor ronen said if this is the case i'm sure part the city maybe i'm wrong but a higher threshold than a one hundred year storm. >> certainly you parts of the city they can handle bigger. >> my question will be i don't think the right way to look at it is we have to increase the city's a capacity to one hundred year storm but focus on that one percent for severe flooding i understand you won't get to a capacity of a one hundred storm i was on the ground but a way to look at we zero on the areas that have the one percent of severe flooding and what is the right threshold in mission

terrace and cayuga we'll get the city to 5 years that make sense with no severe flooding we we experience it in the last year's and the global warming is real but increasing at a higher rate our residents are impacted consistently the the right way to look at it what the right they told her to get the areas in the city that sxherns the severe flooding to one percent what is that. >> that's a great question but the main thing i'll put out there what level is appropriate whatever investment we make and storm is large those areas will flood if we go to a 25 year storm and say probably less but the thing you, you need to understand you can't build up

one area have to convey light water to a entertainment plan have to tear up the streets to get to the treatment plan and up size the pipes all the way not as easy in that one arbitrary we want to say one of the challenges that we're facing when we are looting those neighborhoods where if you want to make a major investment you're talking about during which that ear which will be happy because you're investing but tearing up the rest of the city to get to the treatment plant that's the challenge and so or if you want to tunnel you're talking about large dollars value and i think the other challenge we're identified 7 billions of infrastructure needs in the sewer side 2.9 we're investing right now, we're planning to spend about $2300 million in flooding but have the treatment plant we're

investing in southeast the same thing 85 percent of that flow goes the treatment plant so we're making that investment so believe me we have unlimited money we can solve the problem but folks that have limits funds so the hard part the balance and so that's where we are where is the balance i'd like to increase the level but as supervisor ronen said if we invest in a 50-year storm and it happened like in january 20th it will still flood people will say rain and its flooding i want to i want to put that out there so when we come up with a one solution we understand the level that people should expect that the sewers can stand we'll willing to work with them they live in the low lying area.

>> it is kind of like you estimate a project and as you get into the project you come back and make the changes that happens all the time; right? because the changes need adjusting so the infrastructure in 1990 that was whatever and the informing the 5 year and now realize the global warming may not work in those areas you made the commitment to zero in what i was saying a way to look at it we're talking about down extreme and the 5 year on alamany you were talking about that so the idea you'll be digging it up a way to adjust the one percent of the system may not be solve for the one in january in that 10 minute window you got that was a one hundred year storm in the 10 minute storm 4 in the morning is

there a way your laid out the $2.9 billion to adjust to mitigate the flooding in the areas that are having it. >> so the challenge is that you just can't upgrade the pipe in the middle or upstream because that is that impact the people down stream so realistically you would like to up size your pipe down stream and build it up those pockets are in the middle of the city and - so by increasing you have to tear up the street to make things work that's why you come with a policy because when we are replacing pipes down stream or in the middle you have to make a decision and the real decision you should make that we're going to tear up the whole stretch to raise the standard it comes with a significant price tag that will not guarantee that

that won't you know people will flood with a bigger size storm that's where the challenge lies. >> so let me - can we cut through the presentation i think what is - might have discussions already and as mentioned by the presenter the no way you'll present 100 percent so we're focusing right now and should eventually focus on it more the system itself but i think in the presentation they might be talking about other short-term not - that will minimize and try to minimize the flooding not one strategy and right now, we're focusing on the pipes so

if we allow them to finish. >> sure. sure i understand i want you to get the presentation but one question not to move this tread sorry this charter that supervisor sheehy was asking about in the corner the cost to replace the entire system have you done the cost analysis to replace i understand not just the pipes are right where the flooding is but up to the line of treatment plant. >> i was going to come back to that to address that question so one of the scenarios not shown in the graph with the hybrid scenario a level of 5 years but then in key corridors of flooding with a step outside the box year flooding we discovered in the process was that the cost to get there looks

like almost exactly not exactly but similar to the 10 year level of protection citywide because those corridors that are driving the costs of the citywide policy so we did look at one hybrid scenario 5 years citywide and 10 in the corridors and the costs are almost as the same as the 10 year scenario the corridors are the big corridors in driving the costs 3 housing unit $7 billion the blue bar - yeah. not meant to be read we can provide a draft of this whole study too it is available on our website so - >> yes. >> thank you so the next natural question what does the next storm look like if i look at a 5 year designed storm this shows surface indemnification not

flood risk eninundation citywide the light blue the historic ohio drawn those are former creeks the way the typography directs the water before a house in san francisco when it rains the way the rain flows about the creeks and marshes and then even if we'll developed the city and the creeks are underground in the collection system the typography residences we in filled the bay area so what you see in a 5 year storm there are some pockets of indemnification and some that are two small to show up - once

we address those pockets of flooding there will be a a large storm when the storm comes we'll look at the next slide an extreme example a one hundred year storm a long term that comes once in every 10 years it is like rolling the dice what the map shows a lot of inundation and it closely follows the storm wastewatero so we'll do a quick dive into neighborhood examples of water shed this is the folsom area the red on the map is 17 and folsom the yellow area the drainage so any drop of water that falls inside the yellow line flows downhill so a large drainage baseline if the panhandle of

twin peaks to caesar chavez and to mission the blue owls show - once the water goes underneath the red dot goes to mission creek where the blue dot is the blue all the water that contributes along the way joined with the system all the blue and gold owl shows you all the rainfall that impacts the system that is in the neighborhood. >> (laughter) this is why typography is important we'll look at the top part of slide shows a map and the red line a drop of water on the ground that red line that the path it follows underneath there is a profile so you're looking at and standing underground and the ground you see twin peaks on the left and a steep decline and

flats out in the mission and gradually slopes to the bay what the gray underground on the ground is the ground and the gray underneath it the pipes after vertical riser is a manhole and it is not a scaled the same not actually that flow but give us a sense of the relative flow and what you see that bowl shape at the 7th street and folsom the typography is a goal into there is too many water and this is where the waters ends up and not continues to move along the street and almost too much pressure in the system the water is coming quibble down twin peaks to - the low lying areas where 0 water can come out of the pipes. >> the other example of a

water shed is cayuga it is a large drainage area it is a former creek and this yellow owls the drainage area that drains right to the foot of cayuga where cayuga meets 280 and it is 28 hundred acres of drainage so like folsom the next slide shows a run pipe if you have a drop of water this is the path you'll follow and the ground surface looks like and the gray is the pipes underneath and the foot of cayuga you'll see the 20s berm shots straight up and creates and bowl shape and cul-de-sack of cayuga. >> excuse me - why is the berm there. >> to support the 280 highway

to the south in a large 25 year storms neighborhoods flooding can be severe in 3 cul-de-sack with pools of waters. >> that's down the street from my house i was down there so - >> so the other thing i want to illustrate this is an example of building at the bottom of a bowl if the system is full the water exits at the lowest points that is on the sidewalk or the manhole somewhere but some homes have low fishthsdz so if this set up we're showing part of home if this is your home and the system is full the water b will come out in the basement as shown to avoid the basement stack ups the building code requires they allow flow in one

direction but not flow in the other direction and these back flows in their covered under the grant program the property owners can install them and get 2k3wrur78d by the puc. >> this last within the manhole covers are falling off. >> water can come out of man holes this is street flooding and water can come into the basement that's basement flooding two ways the water can get into the buildings. >> so we try to avoid the basement back up with backflow preventive and adding into the plumbing code and if you do-si-do a renovation you'll be required to install one to get a permit for the renovation and

also, we have the grants program that allows the property owners to install them regardless of renovation or not and get reimbursement so we try to avoid the basement through the backhoe but can come out into the street this man holes or who they can surcharge so i go through sewer charging in the next - >> so the question is what is sfpuc doing to the long term projects construction projects so i'll walk you through this is the map the city and those 5 dots are projects that are under construction projects in the works or underway generally areas that don't meet the 5 year level of services to bring you them up to the standard and additionally those areas in red asked to report by the supervisors to other neighborhoods we'll be providing

information on those i'll walk through this briefly at mangles doing up sizings and street modifications to manage drainage a little bit better and manage flows the construction contract was last month and complete before the next rainy season this next slide to get water that is flo overland to into the system into construction now and expected to be completed before the next rainy season 16th street this one has a bigger price tag a slower process we have to be more thoughtful and be more thoughtful how we're doing the projects the other ones were quicker with less dollars amounts that involves - new i

think let's along the west portal and contains types into and existing reconvene that is currently unused so on the property itself they have a means right now we get stormwater inundation when it neighborhoods and need to grout the water in there we managed the 5 year storm with the ravine to maximize the investments there so we looked at incremental investment with increasing the pipe size of the pipes by one standard size it could be a huge benefit of flood protection up to the 25 year storm to so in the case by case basis we looked at where will say allow hanging fruit to the investment structure so that's what we're looking at and

with the engineering phase of this what i by saying this we're not just sticking to a hardline to a 5 year standard if there is an opportunity for the investment for a return we'll consider that. >> can you explain commissioner what you just said it is contradictory you make the pipes burn or bigger there and continue to make the pipes bigger throughout the city what you're saying i can make the pipes bigger this outlet to dump the water. >> correct a storage option we're not making the pipers bigger for the championships down to lower reaches but we

have we can fill the baseline and take advantage of the fact it is there and unused and not have a further impact down stream that's a good question. >> okay. so the next slide is about the intermission a great area a long-standing flooding issue the documents in the photos from the early 19 hundreds technical changes from the top grateful the bowl shapes owe the typography any project is a high cost so with a limited benefits we're benefiting the ifrp mission but during which a long linear path in the mission we don't have a nice large unused basin to store our waistwater because of the large

price tag up to $2 million we started with the what are the world of technical - we narrowed down to 15 alternatives we did a full evaluation and more recently narrowed it to too so looking at two options in the order of one and 50 a million dollar to get us to the 5 year storm level of protection so even after the projects will be implemented the area will still flood in large storms so that - where we are right now in the alternatives analysis to look at what the option moving forward project options and go into the engineering and design phase and we are curbing funded to the design all the other projects are from the construction design at this time partly we don't know what the costs will be selected.

>> so the cayuga and alamany corridor a tough area like folsom we have the difference here is the reminders of the cayuga the levels of service not flood in a 5 year or a 10 year storm so but when it neighborhoods in large storms it is very severe especially right at the cul-de-sack so the caltrain the concept we've evaluated to help that cul-de-sack to regrade the caltrans property for the surface water and the support 2w0z by building a wall for a retension area helps to reduce that flood depth in a very large storm with a cul-de-sack former of cayuga we've been talking to

caltrans in may of 2015 last month we received a phone call we submitted documentation earlier this year describing the concept we have been deciding and last month they have reservation about the land and the support of their freeway so we're following up with them following up with the current time i don't know how time i don't know how that project will move forward at this time down stream a question what does it mean the flood depth. >> so right now if you were in that cul-de-sack and a 25 year storm a large stop came through you'll be looking at three to four feet of floodwater so what we're doing because in a 5 year storm there is no flooding in that area but in a big storm it

really it's just really different than what we see in the rest of city. >> i know that i know the area. >> we'll be looking at the project we haven't gone through the whole design by the technical analysis will reduce that flood depth to closure to one and a half flood we're cutting that in half with that said maybe in a storm that was really border line flood with the projects is in place it will not touch the houses in a large storm if it touches the houses that will be a lot show willer. >> i understand in the cul-de-sack in a storm i will be standing in a one to two feet of water. >> yes. three to four feet of

water. >> a 95 year storm in the cayuga neighborhood i don't know if we have - but i can get back to you on the high storm water. >> so down stream of cayuga after the flows levy cayuga they go go the alamany by the farmer's market and through the alamany interchange at 101 that and were didn't meet the level of service so a concept right now to provide better flood control down stream to get to our level of service by it has incidental benefits upstream and reducing the flood depth in large storms in the cayuga neighborhood. >> so would that take care of

the foot to foot and a half. >> the same order of performance similar performance. >> so even if. >> in both together might give you a greater benefit but as individual projects they give you about the same level of flood protection. >> but the challenge - the reason this project was in the prioritized as a early project because the flooding that occurred is added lower risk and like in lower alamany less homes impacted more of a traffic disruption in the alamany farmer's market some homes are challenged impacted but this - then the challenge is it is streamline hi cost like folsom

you endangered the pipes but all the way down to the bay not exasperating the brothers and sisters but that is $350 million in concept level very, very costly we don't have a current implementation schedule for this project. >> just one quick second but this meets our stated goals something our intending to do no matter what in our scope of work regardless of the proposal in terms of the costs this down stream gather enlargement. >> you have to meet a 5 year threshold citywide. >> yes. >> just to reiterate this is something that will have upstream benefits on cayuga will

take away flooding on cayuga not completely but impact that. >> reduce it that's what i mean reduce it okay. >> okay. then two other neighborhoods that were asked about do the folks want me to walk you through those neighborhoods in supervisor tang's district i'm happy to you a do it quickly. >> a sewer behind the homes that was built in 1928 and reports from supervisor tang there have been reports of water coming out of the sewers it was built in 1928 based on those feedback we got from supervisor tang in february in march we conducted a field survey and now in the process today as we speak in cleaning and inspecting the

upstairs to understand what the project is doing the boulevard that was an upcoming caltrans to have bulb outs on the boulevard and concerns from the community about drainage that is problematic so we're working with caltrans on this issue and the upper great highway it itself was places in rec and park there section and the public works maintenance that the drainage from that drains to the sand not connected to the combined system a lot of time there is standing water caused by sand drifts on the road that causes this as opposed to 0 other types of flooding with low lying areas in other parts of the city a little bit of a different nature on the highway. >> your supposed to be backing up to the one slide in district

4. >> is isn't there a potential k5i7 next to the parking lot or whatever. >> i'm sorry the one on down stream. >> down stream saw oh, yes. i have. >> i think on 23rd a parkway. >> 23rd and that's your question. >> i guess i'm wondering have you throughout about the same concept for the other - which is there is a potential k5i7. >> oh, you're talking about the ravine that exists now. >> yeah. there is a parking lot. >> so this area is downhill from 23rd. >> as you mentioned that is

downhill yeah. >> okay. so we're offering for short term and long term let's talk about short-term so we have o and m operations and maintenance for responses to storms sewer inspections and cleaning and k5i7 cleaning and exceed our goal significantly staffing for the treatment plant and employment we ramp up when rain is in the forecast we delivered over 12 hundred sandbags and during a rain event a 311311 call this is next slide the programs the - to make it

as easy for the property owners to manage i'll not walk you through but flood insurance reenforces up to 3000 an example of a type of a project and another inevitable program and paid one and $40,000 in grant and have about 50 thousand in the progress we've been in conversation with the applications and also adapt a drain residents can adopt a drain and pledge of allegiance to rake it and keep the surface clean of debris and provided with instructions and tools and a small business relief fund we are partnering with office of

economic workforce and development to address the fired but help us to outreach more to flood disasters as well. >> so are you also cooperating with some of the permit projects going on in the city for instance, school yards the concrete is torn up and plans to turn overseeing into green spaces but the bureaucracy of urban forestry is looking tearing up situations and having people plant is that part of strategy. >> may be one of the things in those areas that is a catch - so for people not understanding if you actually create for ground you'll have less water goes into the surrenders to tear out the concrete and make a way to appraise those neighborhoods with a k5catch basin and -

>> i can speak to that in a couple of points one a stormwater management that any new development on a persist property parcel has a manager water opt out on the private property in the first place and once it gets to the street green infrastructure a term we're using to describe some of the things you're talking about like per surfaces that allows the water to go into the ground and prior i's those projects in flood areas i'll as they're really good a managing stormwater year-round like today light rain and the water it going somewhere in a flood event

there 0 is so much water coming that raining so much rain following the green space infrastructure can do some work by the vast majority of water will come in a big storm we're working only green infrastructure and working on that in those areas. >> so that's what we have for short term programs right now but let's talk about what we were doing in essence steps on a long term basis for the construction for our capital improvement we're working on a collection system plan you know as i mentioned flooding is one of many issues that we're faced in san francisco and long term we're currently finishing our priority projects into the bowl one prioritized capital plan that the oar seismically and

climatic change and environmental stewardship and considering rate impacts one consolidated capital plan and presenting that in july to our commission so that's the long term next step for construction but even if we make the investment there will be a bigger storm so the same neighborhoods will be vulnerable what can we do yonder infrastructure we'll continue to explore the options above and beyond the infrareds i've talked about the existing programs but here's a glimpse of future programs being evaluated so for these programs we would be looking to identify areas that be vulnerable to flooding we want to people to be aware the flood risk, we would potentially

use identified areas to require flood resist construction if you're going to redevelop our property let's redevelop in a way that is better than having building standards and a building code that requires certain types of of construction vulnerable in areas of flooding and along the coastal areas we are expanding that concept into the areas in the water shed back flood and then also disclose at the point of fail so people that are buying improvements know what they're getting and investigating in large grants to flood prove properties or structures and we're investing in the concept of select voluntary property acquisition so for those programs their preliminary

programs the once you've talked about and hope to have a better defined implementation plan in coming months so with that, i'm going to turn it over to our general manager harlan kelly if there is negligent you want to add. >> the last two options are those place holders can you give us more think an idea of what i mean coming back with something more, more there. >> so the plan is to we've been having initial conversation about what we can do we recognize whether investments a storm system the larger areas will flood we know that we can only put so much investment so what we really wanted to flush

out giving folks options the one we mentioned is raising people's properties can be an option for someone that never wants to into custody you live in the bottom of bowel we can only invest is a certain amount to work with the owner to voluntarily purchase the house other cities have similar programs we're contracting them and city attorney's office and because we don't have sales tax we have at the sewer system rates so we have to look at what are the pro tem 218 challenges we'll flush all the stuff out i gave the direction to staff to kind of really develop some options so we can come back to our commission and also the board

and mayor to kind of unveil what we can do as an organization to really helps to evaluate folks that live in the outlying areas. >> when you talk about raising house how i mean. >> self-depends on the type of structure that where we are. >> you know for me cayuga. >> so. >> it is it a commercial or an apartment and you know maybe even raising - we have to look at case by case supervisor safai. >> so i think one of the things that is you know anxiety provoking they know the rainy season we're coming to the end of that hopefully. >> (laughter) from a waterside or now we have too much water. >> hopefully for the folks

inform that the police that on a daily basis i know you're investigating overseeing options so is there a timeline you can say it us you might want to come back and present a more concrete program we have the luxury of the rainy season coming to an end but in terms of potentially if 33 they want to sell their home don't believe that 34 people will but i've heard from a lot of my constituents we share this area supervisor sheehy and i cuts in the middle he has one part i have the other were there they go so that's one but still that option is one but the other one is raising up 9 foundation i mean in our area all single-family homes so you'll be talking about raising a foundation three or four feet

the timeline i'm trying to get at. >> the timeline we hope to come back is around july or august where we'll have hopefully whatever flush out the options and you know to raise for example, single-family homes what -

>> the option for them we want to give them options because as we've been saying over and over if you make an investment because you know living in that ear we make a significant investment and as soon as we finish the flooding it looks like we're failed we want to be up front we're making on investment to minimize. >> when you talk about acquisitions i hope you'll look beyond the value and what was paid for someone to maintain be able to be in the city and -

there's a delta between what the market-rate felt properties and what it takes for the equivalent in a part of the city that neighborhoods the delta will be challenging but if you know full compensation for the people that will still be in the city still have the amount of space and not flooded you know that might be the difference between people willingness to participate in voluntary acquisitions or not like my house - >> that's something we can definitely look at as you may know prices based on neighborhoods so and this is challenging to buy a home in san francisco but we'll definitely look at that as part of our analysis so you know pretty much

we've covered all of the challenges that we are facing and i think that the most important thing i want to say that you know we understand that flooding impacts a lot of folks and the challenge of the cost and disruption that will cause but no guarantee they will not flood again, it is a partnership we're hoping to work out and we are planning to make a significant investment and over a long term we want to sustain to put money aside and endorsing the areas the city and protect them from flooding with that, we went over the options and here to answer any questions. >> thank you, colleagues if we could open up for public comment

and additional questions after public comment people have been waiting patiently. >> you can line up on the side of the room to the left i do have public comment cards if you haven't feel free to get in line and give public comment. i have cards for (calling names). >> good morning. >> good morning. >> yeah. i live in cayuga and i want to tell you i've been through hell all of the time i get neighborhoods is the same thing what do they give me sandbags i'm tired i hope you hear me now look, i don't know it is it

working >> overhead please. i go through that everyday she's mile witness saw in house i go floats garbage everything he go through the sewers right now my house still smells like mold not only moldy got a grandson that as asthma and have to take him to the doctor i'm sick and going through hell every time and i sick and tired? in front of my house right here i can't open the garage door and can't even right now my basement to tell the truth the basement still smells and my yard is

filed with 230i89 from the sewers i can go through this the two cars are damaged nobody has come around and say mrs. assistance do you need any help you talk about - i don't see anything they gave them sandbags i see the man look at the hole and that's it that's all they do no matter if you put a wall or what it is still the same. >> you know >> thank you. >> i'm tired. >> i understand >> next speaker, please. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please.

>> thank you. >> overhead please. i'm pat a member the association and want to bring to your attention your concern the historical flooding that occurred from the manhole covers in the sewer easement from 2150 overlooking the park repeated seasonal flooding those two the sewer easement behind the homes is possibly one thousand feet long and contains 6 manhole covers with the sewer system has been overwhelmed as a result, the manhole controversies have felon off and the water has escaped in an effort to correct those two manhole covers were

secured and pictures provided for your reference the other two sewer lines they've been surveyed by camera that area is difficult to assess we'd like the entire one thousand surface to be taken care of. >> this has been complicated by the fact if involves 3 agencies caltrans, san francisco municipal transportation agency and the department of public works for the last year candidates and dpw have required a wrap around bulb out but the plans by dpw and caltrans don't meet the needs of neighborhoods and a major traffic assess road

for pine lake park and adjacent streets we'd like introduce is an open hearing and this was done last week and the neighbors have not had a chance to look at them. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> december 2003 january, 2004 and february 2004 october 2009 april 2012 december 2014 december 2014 january 2017 those are on the most recent dates when san francisco awoke to find their homes and businesses a wash in sewage 8 dates those are much higher than the 50 years and stated by many harrison in ore opening remarks i'm nancy and

this on cotter street i lost my entire downstairs my car and more irreparable items in the december 3rd, 2014, sewer failure how is it we're here talking about how the city can't fix our sewers and can't offer anything other than continuing to study a problem that is known for decades >> (clapping.) >> these can't be our best answers the city spent tens and tens of millions of dollars and yet insists more studies with needed imagine fixing the problem at home share ton not remembered the dollars we'll not be here today still asking for help still with our hands out and facing the sewage in our homes and continuing to do

nothing and hiding behind the excuse a bigger storms it is shameful thank you. >> bravo. >> to the public we have a board rule that didn't allow applause if you can show with our thumbs that is appreciated no problem. >> hello and thank you for the opportunity for us to voice our concerns about the citywide sewer failure i'm donna and my family as would on cayuga on the cul-de-sack for 40 years this infrastructure development issue spans over 5 decades district wanted and 11 continue to be in a very rare sewage solely duo due to inefficiencies and the development approvals

throughout san francisco complaint were made in the 19 psychos to no avail and a sewer bond measure placed prop b in 1964 the sewers and working-class neighborhood have neglected in favor of affluent neighborhood earmarked funds clearly showed reallocations to projects upstream upstream improvements then exudate the problems in the working areas neither here nor there a half of dozen neighborhoods from 2004 to today with no solutions proposed by the sfpuc have left residents feeling forgotten and underrepresented for projects like this pucs two main argument typography and the challenges because at the bottom of a valencia with water sheds and they can't fix the system for

all storms that clearly translates to the puc mismanagement of their system for a known century old problem first come, first serve a x's competent thus allowing the problems serious our to the point we are today thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good morning my name is elaine i live in mission terrace thank you for the opportunity to speak i appreciate all the attention and the consideration from you supervisors has taken a lot of time to get transaction with look like of our leaders broov 0 thank you for finally giving us time and attention that is a nightmare we face everyday so i'd like to show from

january 20th what we're doing there. >> overhead please. >> (inaudible). >> can i replay that i don't think that everyone saw that. >> can you kill the lights or - >> (inaudible).

>> thank you thank you for your testimony. >> i have 25 seconds left that's okay i want to echo what my neighbors sfpuc has been brainstorming this on climatic change for decades known since the 19 psychos will continue to get worse this is a crisis situation i urge us to act immediately thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> overhead please. >> so i'm just going to play a video of the flood from january 20th supervisor yee good to see i live in the sunny side

neighborhood not a low lying neighborhood from the side of a hill and we have been flooded repeatedly 2014, 2021 twice this year in 2017 we're hopefully that the sewer improvements proposed for for better or worseer low fix this a couple of things i want to point out one they talk about 5 year storms and 25 year storms and one hundred year storms twice this year so i kind of want to reiterate when they talk about the storms their happening much more often than 5 and 25 years the other thing i want to mention they're talking about the rate payers having some burden from repairs to flooded areas i want to point out as a matter of equity that water is

coming from those way fastest does seem like this is something that we all have a shared responsibility for and it seems to me that it is appropriate that cost should be distributed across the city since the wait comes from all over the city we're all in it together and want to see the city make more of an effort and share the other speakers concerns that their does seem to be well, if there is a flooding no matter what you can see that to any flooding to discriminate between flooding that should be happening or would happen versus can be repaired there needs to be more effort. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> hi, i'm margaret i will open folsom one mr. cook from 17 and folsom i experienced the 2000 flood they saw a mess that was very high i believe if you can get that picture. >> overhead please. hold on a picture of me i was - it has a four and a half inch lift and it is so high that it goes up to any waste this is how high we were trying to go through the intersection of 16 and folsom that was up to that hood of my joel koppel we cannot enter and couldn't cross folsom that was a big old heavy dumpster on the force of that water towards that that was the

most amazing site that is how much force in the water i don't understand how it could have gotten it high and that much force i asked someone ii asked john used to use for the waterworks he said i don't know so, anyway that are problems we're not investigating and other things the question that says ahsha safai and said what does it motivator if it is one percent of the population it matters it is called tracking when we were in height services they were trained us in tracking those areas people are going through it sewage water it has e. coli and is is dirty even though it is delutdz by the next day high on the walls and the

sidewalks it is it diluted it is dehydrated. >> i appreciate your testimony thank you so much >> next speaker. >> my name is chris, i have a business on folsom between 17 and 18 i've been there less than 5 years the neighborhoods typically last 20 to thirty minutes where the service is into the building and goes away we talked about a temporary solution nothing hold that where the water could go and the sewage what is pumped and not be normally costing hundred millions of dollars each neighborhood has been impose to seismic requirements to fix the issues if we can dispose of them

rather than fixing the whole of san francisco that will say a great solution and more than happy to talk about the ideas. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> can i get a speaker card. >> thank you. i'm david hooper i get to the be the accident of the new terrace association and it is mission terrace i'd like to thank you all of you for having this hearing it makes a big difference the greater the exposure the more details i've spent almost 2 and a half years on this i want to focus on a couple of points the bottom of cayuga the cul-de-sack is one and 20 feet above seawall it entered a ravine on mission and a viaduct and the problem is an

engineering problem between the concrete we have between and with two 80 there we've created a situation we channel the water it goes to the lower area and backed up we have built up a lot of sidewalks we've built a lot of roofs and water falls on a roof goes sweet spot sewer we created this and we have to i don't have my respect for those - what we are smelling that the idea of displacement if you want to talk about displacement and part of the city it is a major item the homes on cayuga in particular are not expensive relative to the rest of the city it is a

real tough situation there is a community especially on this part of cayuga the problem stepped to the seven hundred block of cayuga not just the cul-de-sack this problem extends all throughout the city for awhile the puc was relatively tone-deaf they've improved not as bad - >> thank you thank you very much for your testimony. >> next speaker, please. >> welcome such new faces i've been around for 25 years. >> my name is ace and i'm on the case. because some of those people don't want me all in this place but no mystery just check black history

wow. i've been working on some cases involved with a lot of conspiracies and some people don't like me but i don't care so i'm here for the 3 c children children children let me get back to channel two i this government channel i created it i'll get my titles my name is ace and i'm on the case. i'm here with the people with the problems go to the puc the department is good if you want to know about the infrastructure go to the puc and found out what is going on but bring a delivery to any sisters on this board supervisor president london breed and supervisor cohen i made a vow not to talk about them but to tell them today that might be taken away we're in a state of emergency we don't have to ask me ask mayor ed lee or

online e olsen lee about the residents going to be mad and sad their going to take their pad and trump talking about two years i want to him to come to fillmore street tweet tweet tweet ladies and gentlemen, my name is ace and i'm on the case. and took out the bad and but in the good and tell them to the sisters they better act right my name is ace and i'm on the case. >> thank you is there anyone else that would like to speak during public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues any other questions for the puc before the closing comments. >> yes. supervisor safai. >> i want to call the general manager back up i know you're not the general manager at the time that was ed harrington but

what i heard was disturbing to me i want to know if this is true was there $400 million allocated for this area of town alamany improvements that was reallocated to another part of city. >> i'm not sure. >> (inaudible). >> yeah. we can get back to you on that so, yeah. >> yeah. is that essentially warm up talking about the alamany the three hundred and 69. >> i will say that one, the of the things instead of going through and investing moping money we took a step back with the improvement project to say what are we trying to solve how much water to convey out of those areas so we had to determine how much water and then identify the projects that will accomplish that so that's

what we start to do when we did the sewer system improvement project so that's how we making investments now. >> i i understand i want to make closing rashgs from working in the neighborhoods for the last you know 14 years and feeling the general frustration of feeling neglected and overlooked and treated like the forgotten part of city and years money was allocated bonds i'm assuming the program for that part of town and reallocated somewhere else and then dealing with - >> you know consistent flooding that will raise the level of distrust for the city not on our shoulder you were not the general manager at the time bus that is very disappointing. >> supervisor yee. >> oh. >> yes. thank you.

>> thank you supervisor yee for calling this hearing this is - i know i've learned a lot and i want to say that the flooding situations omi oh, my god i'm wondering we're talking about like huge developments so are we taking into account i know that most of it comes from the storms it is still the same sewage pipes we're using for the hundreds and 50 thousand 200 and 50 thousand to new residents of san francisco and when i look at the circle of where it look i'm sorry not just the it is development many, many, many blocks away with - so i - i

mean my xhavent are we considering the flooding when we approve the projects with those huge projects we're approving. >> so one of the things we started to do when i became the general manager we institutionalized and worked through the board stormwater board so basically, what we're saying is it if our developing new property or you know upgrading the property to collect and maintain stormwater onsite and so that's what we've been doing the other thing i want to point out is that over the years the amount of water use has gone down; right? because of the back in the day with 6 gallons per flush if you look at how

much water went into the sewer that actually is less water during dry weather into the sewer less water putting down the toilets and most folks showering so if you look at the growth the capacity in the sewers have increased because of dry weather water flows are reduced because of water conservatism so we put the as far as the development is concerned predominantly concerned we have managed stormwater. >> okay. thanks we know that with number 45 now with our president i think that we don't know at what will happen so the environment and i feel this is like we're seeing this amount of water we're getting that will be on a regular basis and other

states are fooling severe severe drought so this hearing that i think the responsibility of all san franciscans we're not in a my district in district one that affects us it smokeless we pinpointed a few areas that are severe in san francisco and we have to actually repair so i'm wondering if this is something that you think we should be allocating money from the general fund or from other reserves we have in an emergency situation to be put towards them i don't - we might as a city have to cough that up it seems like this is the problem that is

dangerous we can't lose a lot of lives in the neighborhoods i'm just bringing it to my colleagues for discussion perhaps later to allocate direct city services to fix that resolve thank you. >> so i'll make comments we'll go down the lines and supervisor yee to close us out first, i actually at a point was a legislative aide in the district 9 office i went into the sewers in my district and can attest not a rainy day and hardly any water that was interesting and a disgusting experience and if i didn't know what i was getting myself into but want to confirm i saw that with my own icy want to just appreciate everyone who came out and expressed your

anger and frustration eloquently and supervisor i can imagine the stress in your faces and wanted to acknowledge that and thank you for coming out and expressing and dealing with that this is just angle incredibly hard problem to fix i mean yes, i'm compelled by many of our testimony that is a known issue for hundreds of years and yet we spent the whole $14 billion to renovate, upgrade your entire system in the entire city. a one hundred year storm who prevent flooding in 10 minutes when this is heavy rainfall that is the balancing act we're asked to figure out as a city i agree with supervisor fewer and

supervisor safai that is a citywide problem shouldn't fall on the backs of the one percent who is homes are flooded every year that we need to take care of that and being directed to your homes it is just not clear to me that you know creating you mean upgrading the entire sewer system is the answer and that will not solve the problem i really like mr. hickey said my neighborhood would like to see more analysis around not only a neighborhood by neighborhood issue but a parcel by parcel sort of review of what could we do with each individual parcel to prevent the flooding on 7th street and folsom the cafe tdm of the grant program for the flood barrier and finally got to test that in the last big storm that works it prevented the

flooding at the cafe on folsom so finally prove that acts in that area of 7th street and folsom that has flood barriers if it is similar typography to the cafe we can prevent the needing with that barrier and at least a step forward on 7th street and folsom the puc has been ousted there and my office i was under talking to the neighbors and let's make sure we get this really low impact barriers on as many households as possible that is ongoing that my office is doing together with the puc but in terms of the new programs you're investigating whether it is raising the foundation of the home or purchasing the home, you know, at a price that allows the families to move within san francisco

i think that there will be certain homes we're not going to find a solution and that that might be the only solution to make that a program that presents a real possibility to the homeowners i think that something that we need to focus on as a city so with that, i want to thank everyone for coming out and send it off to supervisor sheehy >> so a couple of things and thank you supervisor yee for holding this hearing i think i wasn't in this office but for a few days when the first flood happened you have to really experience what is going on i mean it is just not healthy not heath and i felt so bad for my neighbors that was literally two or three blocks down the hill up the hill

in edgar park one concern it sounds like like the mitigation efforts from the flood are incomplete so when i was there there was a city attorney and deploying the mitigation strategies and am i incorrect we help the folks to recovery so, yeah please. >> what we've done in the low lying areas worked with the city attorney and have restoration copies move the sheetrock and other inactivated vietnam out of water so that we can reduce the ability for molding to happen and so that's what we've been working with the city attorney's

office and then if there is any claims taking a lead on now claims. >> so if ongoing problems is there a way to connect individuals the puc or the zoo i do think the heart is still to smell the mold i don't know if automobiles are still damaged nothing can't be done i know i saw that i thought how can they clean this up so someone i think one individual expressed odd o ongoing issues for her and her family's health but a point of contact contact to be made or maybe through my office i just don't want to leave people - and typically work there did

city attorney but put a contact person from the puc we work with the city attorney's office as a relates to claims. >> great and then the only other thing that was said to echo supervisor ronen i do hope that july because your target data memo of options that we can offer certainly in cayuga with the people in cayuga that can point to a long term solution because ichltd this is going on a long, long time and it is not something we as a city should you know be comfortable with and the one percent comment got flooded not representative to the people at the puc or any of

us up here it is just trying to scope the problem but see what happens in july and certainly gave me all the stakeholders and i know that people want to stay in the city that has got to be our priority and surely interest to make that viable no way. >> thank you sorry i have to say we're not allowed to shout out from the audience sorry we can't have this conversation please show our hands thank you very much. >> okay. let me wrap up first of all, the question that supervisor fewer asked in regards to the new development recently, i received a bunch of e-mails as some people know

ocean avenue is developed quite rapidly in the last since in office one year before i came into office been 5 hundred units right along stretches of 6 blocks and there is more development being offered at the time so people will be concerned who we looked at this issue of who building all the center units will actually increase the capacity for the flood order to getting to the system and i guess the answer is this seems significant or in terms of how much the units will be using the capacity of the sewer lines i have to say i want to thank

the public for coming out, i wish that i mean there was actually a lot of individuals homeowners and people in any district that were impacted very few came today because of a variety of reasons but one for the public to come out and puts u put a face on the people effected thank you for coming and want to say that i want to thank the puc harlan and staff for innovate just one way about a solution the offered quite a few variety of thinking at this point i actually like some of the long term solutions that can impact a few of those areas unfortunately

smoeld because your issue is one of the tougher ones but i think our capacity to put solutions together will come of something i also appreciate that you're thinking about those other short term types of solutions particularly like the concept of raising the homes a little bit so with the basement or whatever is in the basement that for instance, involve could be raised and damaging that i'm hoping that you'll come up the department will study that further and i'll significant that you study you can look at

quite a few of those individual homes and see what are the sort of different possibilities what that takes and so forth because one thing to say raise that and so many factors in regards to what is practical and not practical i'd like to study that and come back with a - some answers what i want to do is this is to me not a one-time discussion i think this is a quick discussion we're having some kind of dialogue and like to ask i can't make the motion but someone make a motion to continue this item or hearing to the call of the chair so that maybe in 6 to 8 months you know as for the department to come back and let us know what has been done.

http/bethlehemshipyardmuseum.or. this is a saturday. architectural heritage will hold annual fundraiser at landmark number 167. will be from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. this year the theme of the 50 year anniversary of the summer of love. landmarks from the ash berry neighborhood. this is unique opportunity to enjoy san francisco history. it's a black tie affair. the heritage mission is to preserve and enhance san francisco's unique architectural and culture identity. heritage is a significant waterfront partner to us and has a collaborative relationship on preserving port property and planning issue. i encourage the public to take a

look at it and attend. now i like to present the port's proposed reorganization further advance our strategic planning goals and objectives. good afternoon given. the port is a very successful port. we have a great diversity of uses. our waterfront draw over 24 million people to it every year. for a variety of activities. we manage 600 leases over our 7.5 miles of waterfront property. the richness and diversity of experiences with general public faces makes our waterfront unique. to make and keep the waterfront great requires that our port

staff have a broad set of responsibilities to promote maritime commerce and preserve and enhance the waterfront. today i will discuss with you a proposed reorganization that i will make to help staff achieve our goals and to help staff achieve goals in a way that is more effective and efficient for us. we have a strong foundation of planning effort that drives our goals. in february of last year, we adopted our 2016, 21 strategic plan. which articulates our vision for delivering our port modern day mission. this plan has seven strategies and 42 objectives. we have 245 employees working to accomplish this aggressive agenda. in addition to our strategic plan, we have the waterfront land use plan which is a tool that provides for the long term vision of how we are to use

portlands. and our capital plan. which is an expression of ports property needs and funding sources. together these planning documents help guide us in what's most important for the waterfront and how to achieve our goals. we have more responsibility than staff. that's what the teeter totter is meant to convey. i've conducted review of our internal communication and organizational structure and measured up aggressive agenda. the goal is to harness considerable -- we are a largely successful organization that operates in concert with its mission and excels in many areas. but the department does have more demands than staff

resources and staff struggles to prioritize work and feels pressure to do more with less. there are key improvements to our organizational structure that will improve our ability to meet our objectives more effectively and ease pressure on our staff. the reorganization i am proposing has three key goals. one that are integrate the business units. create a strategic framework and asset development and management and broaden the planning division essential services. this is a reminder of our strategic plan that has clear mission and vision and seven key goals. all seven goals that has a focus on the fundamental goals that relate to the business units of renewal, economic vitality and

stability. the current structure which has been in place for several decades, has property management in three divisions in organization. real estate, maritime, planning and develop. each division has specific goals for the use of port property. the result has been tremendous. we have over sick hundred leases -- 600 leases. we have caused the investment of 250 million in private investment in port facilities sense 2006. these are notable accomplishments. however, because the business units are separated, they do not operate under one unified strategic framework. the structure results in a business model with three distinct and separate business units with different goals and objectives a all impact property. this also results in staff

working on separate assignments reducing opportunities to collaborate. staff has self-directed integration and has moved over time to integrated approach to property in asset management. the result is better use of our property. more diverse in public serving. this is in contrast to the 1997 land and water use plan. but turn to private development partners from most major upgrades to port property. increasingly the port is under taking major development and leasing efforts on its own accounts. this includes cause ship development, pier nine, jamestown project, pier 29, alcatraz landing. as an example, i'm showing you

the james r. hermann cruiseship terminal which is one of the most maritime projects. we have special events and parking being a major source of revenue. a real estate activity. we have funding sources, variety of funding sources causing the project and a public park, 2.7-acre public park that a geobond paid for that was managed oof our planning division. in this maritime project, you see the success coming together from planning development maritime. i'm proposing integrated approach to asset management. staff has begun to do with great success. this proposed change would include a senior deputy director a chief operating officer. you noted that. will be mr. byron.

development staff will be reassigned to real estate position. we'll have a stand alone planning division under the direction and leadership of diane. this is hard to read organizational chart that amy and i will provide to the commission and public for further review. basically what you are seeing here is the mayor and the port commission and myself reporting to the port commission, director office that includes the chief freighting officer. the chief operating officer will be responsible for maritime real estate development. i will be responsible for him finance and administration, engineering maintenance and planning. under the centerstructure the business units are integrated and reporting tot chief operating officer. the benefits here are enormous.

we can innovate asset development and management and streamline business processes. leveraging talents in each division for unified end for our property. the planning division serves a very critical and important function for our department. the planning division will support our business unit in addition to development to real estate and maritime goals. will focus on emerging issue like sea level raise, water transportation and will continue to deploy the high etcetera standards of stakeholderrer engagement. there is much work ahead for the planning group. in proving the port public realm in protecting its historic resources engaging the public for the update to the waterfront land use plan and working

through policy frameworks and regulatory agencies and state lands, etcetera. this is a trial period. i'm appropriating -- i'm proposing this reorganization today. we'll fine tune based on how it works and come back to you in february with a formal proposal for reorganization through the budget. we may find additions that we like to add here or subtractions if it's not kuwait working -- quite working well. the staff is working today to meet the port's modern day challenges. i'm here to answer any questions. >> is there any public comment on the executive director's report? any public comment? public comment is closed. >> port commissioner's report.

>> nothing to report, thank you. just congratulations to our giants winning opening day yesterday. >> i want to read a letter that was sent to port commissioners. fyi for the public. this is from ron courtney san francisco businessman. this is a letter sent to all the commissioner. there's a serious problem on the embarcadero from pier one to pier 35 unlicensed food vendors. they have no health permits, collect no sales tax, pay no rent to the port, pay no payroll taxes, no sales permit, no insurance requirements and no real estate requirements. if this is not stopped now, there will be a proliferation of

food vendors by some. sincerely ron courtney. 4 san francisco businessman. >> this is an area away coordinate with the department of public health and police department. it is an area we had enforcement activities. has been persistent problem. we'll double down on that efforts this area. >> quickly, colleagues what happened since the last meeting. i got back yesterday. i went to singapore. i got a tour there, singapore has a second largest port in the world. had some meetings with people about what they are doing in singapore about sea level rise. what they are doing about earthquakes, infrastructure. one of the thing i like about singapore, they have a lot in common with san francisco, cruise ship and ferries. ferries is a big way to get around in singapore. from there i attended a conference in perth, australia

with labor unions. i went to the port there to see what they are doing in the port of fem free mantle. back -- they also have a lot as far as ferries and stuff like that. australia is a very beautiful country. on the political front, they just had a big political revolution in their country where we have like here, we have democrats and republicans. there they have labor and liberals. liberals are republican and labors are the democrats. they have a big revolution there. now the democrats are back in power. they have a lot of situations where a lot of foreigners are coming in from indonesia and other countries taking the work of australians. they are fighting australlians to do the right and to do work in their own country. just want to tell you what's going on there. i met bill shorten who is the

opposition. he will be like the nancy pelosi. he's running for prime minster. he came out as a labor movement. some of the things they're working on is coal mining. trying to have greener and be more environmentally correct. they are very interested what's going on here in america. one thing that they take pride in is that several years ago, they had a woman she was the first woman prime minster of australia. i met her. she did really good job. she really got attacked hard by the right wing and basically her own party did her in. i aid in america, lot of people were pulling, women, especially for hillary clinton. we never had a woman president in in england they had two women prime minsters and in australia. maybe one day in the states we will have a woman president.

that's my report. thank you. >> request approval of lease number l16159, port of san francisco and 26,901 feet office feet. subject approval of board of supervisors. >> good afternoon. my name is elsa lamb. i'm the commercial property manager for the port of san francisco. i'm here to request approval to enter into a five year lease with idolp under lease number l16159. ido is award winning global design innovation consulting firm. they focus on designing product and are highly sought after after a design thinking firm. they are credited for many of their designs, one of the ido is

dining apple first occupancy limitation is 208. the use is a continuation of existing and related uses and therefore not a project that subject to review by the california environmental quality act. ideo is seeking a five year lease with a right of first offer. the rental rates for the lisa conformed to the parameter rent schedule approved by the port commission. because rent revenues under the term of this lease will exceed

dollars the lease will require approval by the board of supervisors and charter section 9.118. at the end of the term, the tenant shall have a one time right to submit a written offer to extend or renew their lease. should the rent exceed $1 million for the extension period then we would have to come back to the port commission and to the board of supervisors for approval again. the port is required to obtained substruct roof and walls of the premise with the exception of the doors, windows and a staircase and ramp that is located on the westerly side of the facility which the tenant is required to maintain. the tenant is responsible for utilities, maintenance and repairs. this lease achieves the goals and objectives of the port strategic plans by one promoting economic vitality. by maximizing asset value and

stream to the port. by creating stability. by increasing port revenues and retaining diversified tenant base that will perform economic cycles. ideo is a tenant in good standing pursuant to the port commission policy. port staff recommends request approval to enter lease with ideo. thank you. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on 10a? being none, public comment it closed. commission kounalakis. >> you said the number of staff that they have here. can you say again? >> the premises is actually the occupancy load is 208. they do have all the -- offices

in alto. they have met the maximum. >> are there any issues of concern so far in terms of how they've been as a tenant? >> they've been a wonderful tenant. they're a model tenant for the port of san francisco. >> a model tenant for the port of san francisco. that's all the questions i have. >> commissioner brandon. >> thank you for the report. can you tell me, what is the rate of their current lease? >> the rate current lease is just below the current one now. little background, they are operating under two separate leases. what we've done in under lease is combined both leases into one. they are just under the

parameter rent approved for this last year. so this is why we're actually renewing their lease so they can be parameter rent and stand their lease. >> parameter rent is that the lower medium? >> at the low end. >> why is that? >> it's actually -- i can't remember what the low end is. they're a little above the low end >> what is that based on? >> i'm wondering why we're not bringing them to market? give them the opportunity. >> you referring to the current lease or the proposed lease? >> i was asking about the current lease and where they are. then with the proposed lease, i ask two questions.

i think right now she's referring to the current lease. , proposal. >> so the proposed lease will bring them a little up from where the minimum is. that's historically we've given them 3% increase. at one point, they may have not reached the current rent but it's been negotiated. >> given the opportunity that we have now, why aren't we trying to bring it to market? >> it is within mark. >> it's the lower end. is there something wrong with the building? >> no. there's nothing wrong. >> okay. >> the one thing that is coming up is the seawall resillency project. they would have preferred to have the 10 year lease. because of the project, up to five year lease. which is why they have the right of first offer.

>> maybe you can tell me what the rent parameters are for this space. >> under this current lease that we're trying to negotiate? >> no practice the parameters are. not what we're offering them. what the parameter. >> unfortunately i did not spring that with me here. >> i'm not quite sure i seen a right of first offer. what is the term of the right of first offer? >> the right of first offer allows them to make us an offer. that is based on rates that they -- they have to be within the approved parameter rent. they have to prepare the terms for us. we have to then negotiate from that point on. they are preparing a letter of intent on their part to say, this is what we like to renew our lease with five years, ten years.

>> okay. >> i think what we're hearing, i assumed that these were kind of predetermined by staff what the rates are. on the newest person. this is the first time i've seen one of those explicitly. the question is, end of their lease, they want to renew their lease. how do you make the decision of what the appropriate rent increase for a lease renewal is? certainly, everything in san francisco seems to have gone up. housing prices gone up. i assume that special space and office space is going up too across the board. when you sit down and say, their lease is up, they want to stay. what is the fair --

>> typically i will look to see what other tenants are paying if they're within the same rental rates. we'll compare to see if their similar in nature as far as what the space that they occupy negotiate from there. basically what the market will pull out there. >> do you look comparables that are not within the port? >> we have parameter rates that are set every year that will be reset again this july. this deal basically is in those commissioner approved parameter rate. >> for last year. >> for this year. these are the current rates that are in effect for us leasing property. this is actually complete

parameter deal. only reason it's here before you because it achieves a rental revenue of over a million dollars which it goes to the board of supervisors. which is unusual because it's parameter deal. we bring it to you because we have to bring it to the board. >> to reiterate what mark is saying, you all approve parameter rate schedule for the entire year. it set market rate. real estate does quite a bit of analysis to say what comparable properties across the street are valued at. we hire a broker. they help us and we set the rate. you approve them. if we lease space within those parameters, typically they don't come to the commission. here the value of the lease is north of a million dollars which requires board of supervisors approval. bringing it to you before we bring to to the board of supervisors. i think the question commissioner brandon is asking,

within that parameter band, why did you pick just north of the lower end? why note hire in the parameter rent schedule? can you help us understand the rate you're proposing? >> yes. because we're trying to look at all the other tenants are paying within the same area and same use. trying to keep within that area. of course, because this is five year lease it will go up. there's 3% annual increase every year for this lease. >> you set a rate within market approved by commission but it's on the lower end of the scale because it's consistent with other port lisas? >> -- leases? >> yes. >> this is actually the parameter for this particular property. it's one of the higher parameter

rates. >> why don't you tell us what are they currently paying and what will they pay under this lease? so we understand the dollars. >> we need that information. >> the current parameter -- the lease deal that this is under is $3.15 a square foot. >> a and b are lower. >> right. that's a different parameter. these are among the higher rates for this type of shed space that we have at the port. if you look at the entire port. >> i guess my concern is that -- we have current tenant. we love to keep our current

tenant. we like to bring them closer to mark than just at the low end of the parameter rent. i know that we make the parameter rent range because some spaces are better than others. if this is a class a space and we're giving them close to low parameter rent, that doesn't make sense. if we're doing it based on other tenants. we have tenants been here 40 and 50 years. >> this isn't office pace. it's class c office space at best. it's shed space that's been studio space. this is market present for -- rent for this space. when you set parameters, you set parameters for market rents. our parameter rents are market. >> can i build on this a little

bit? go ahead commissioner katz. >> we have who hold this over. i don't think we have enough information. i will let commissioners have their say. i want them to be happy and have all the information. i know some stuff you didn't bring. i think it's important to have everything here so we go through and we clearly understand it. >> one will be what is the parameter rent range that we have? is it five cents or 25 cents differentials. i like to have that information. second, maybe i misheard this, this doesn't seem to be a pursuant to any renewal in terms of the original lease. this is actually a new lease. there's no reason to say that, since we gave them a 3% rent increase last year, 3% this year. it's irrelevant. it's not based on a prayer lease. this is a new lease.

we start negotiating fresh out. it's not giving them the benefit. we appreciate them being long term tenant. the question i have, are we comfortable that given our parameter rent that we've approved that it makes sense to give the lowest end of that parameter versus the middle or higher end when it sames like just because other tenants are paying less, we trying to get everyone up to market rate. that's our obligation here. we have other factors. it seems to me if we've come up a parameter that's market rate, why not negotiate at the higher end of that parameter. hich isn't all that tie high. >> can i make a comment? i know you feel like you will going through the motion to come here because it's over a million dollars. i think the rationale of a lease

comes to us and board of supervisors, it is to have another set of eyes to look at it and see whether it is in interest of the port and the city. i think we need to go back and answer these questions so we understand fully what we're approving and not view it as a formality that we have to go through. i don't want to over state your case, it does feel like you're little bit saying, these are parameters. why are you asking all these questions. it's because it's a sizeable lease and we should be taking careful the city's assets and port asset because of the size. we should be looking at it carefully instead of having that independent review. >> also, the right of first offer. i think there has to be some terms associated with that. i don't think they can come back and give us whatever they feel is appropriate at that time. >> it's not even an option. it's basically because they're a

good tenant and good tenant in standing. a tenant we like to keep. we would entertain them to give use first offer for the space. >> at current mar market value? >> the right of offer we give it to the highest offer but they have a right of first offer. it doesn't entitle them to the property. >> does that mean like now we would put it out to bid and whoever offered the most for it, we would then let them -- how does that work? >> if they vacated, it will be vacancy. >> they would be to give the best offer. but there will be no other offer. >> i think this is an example. there's 600 leases in the portfolio. we do not competitively bid leases when they come up. if it's a tenant in good

standing and pay us market rate which the commission sets annually. we do need to understand what the tenant is paying now. we need to understand the range of the parameter rents and we need to understand why you settled recommending this particular rate in the band of parameter rent and to understand that that reflects the fair market value the prompt. -- property. there's more information that the commission need. >> we look at rent schedules it's a few months before the new one is set up. the market changes from time to time. we should just check what the -- it's not detailed research we should check the other side. we shouldn't be comparing leases on port authority. we should be comparing to the market because of the size of the lease. >> we're going to hold this over colleagues. director forbes, this thing need

to be reworked. you can tell the commissioners have a lot of question. >> what was the expiration of the lease? >> there's two leases being combined. one is on month a month hold over and the second is on a five year term. >> by asking to hold over, there isn't an issue? >> it's not an issue is it, mark? >> no, there's no issue. it's on month to month. >> make sure we understand. >> thank you. we look forward to seeing you next month. item 11a request approval of 66 year lease portions of a south basin and nonexclusive license for pile supported areas

adjacent to west of the south bain. in connection to downtown ferry terminal expansion project all located generally between the ferry building pier 14. >> this is an action item. we're seeking approval for two long term property agreements for the downtown ferry terminal expansion project. 66 year lease and companion license agreement. in terms of i will be presenting, it's pretty straightforward. i will provide an overview of each agreements. i won't be getting into lot of detail about the project design and so forth. we did cover that last fall. we had -- we were here twice. once with informational presentation on a project foll followed by approval of the construction lease. those two documents will govern

property rights or their ability to construct the project. these two documents the lease and license agreement provide me with property rights needed to operate the ferry terminal facility upon completion of construction and furring strategic plan which you had presentation on last fall. beginning with the lease, this slide shows diagram of the lease area. i don't have a pointer. this is basically what we called a south basin. south of the ferry building between the southern edge of ferry plaza, which is behind us here. and extending southward towards -- all the way to the pier 14 break water.

then the western edge of the box is basically -- thank you -- basically where the port gates are. there are three gates. first one is gate e. it was built along gate b in the north basin. which you can't see here. built by the port and operated and maybe takenned by the -- maintained by the port today.

then you have two new gates. gate f here and gate g. here's rendering of the lease area. this is a view looking south. if you were standing on this floor of the ferry building down at the southern end looking down on this area. this is what you would see. you'd see in the foreground gate e. the existing gate. then two new gates f and g. you can see in the background, the pier 14 break water. key provisions of the lease agreement. this is a 66 year lease. it includes about 300,000 square feet of water in some area and

21,000 square feet of floats and gang ways. under this agreement, we own, operate and maintain these facilities. in exchange for not only building but also operating maintaining and being responsible for all cost associated with maintaining these facilities, the port will not collect any rent or landing fees. however the port may charge a fee for vessels. continuing with the lease and focusing on gate e, the agreement calls for basically control of gate e to be transferred from the port to rita. the facility is in need of

refurbishment. they're going to be coring 80% of the cost for that refurbishment. today the port is responsible for 100% of that cost where we take it as service and refurbish ourselves. in terms of the fiscal impact of this arrangement for gate e, it's positive outcome for the port. weest pat -- we estimate operating gates b and e, it will amount to savings $125,000 a year for the port. just to mention gate b, it's not part of this project. it will continue to be operated and maintained by the port. we have discussed with them and it does contemplate the potential for gate b to be similarly transferred from the port to rea in the future

depending on funding availability and port needs. switching now to the lease agreement. you have diagram here of the lease area founded by the red. to orient you. this area here where i got the cursor as you know today, there's an open water basin doctor. we call it the lagoon section. there will be a raised new plaza. then you have this area that runs in front of the three ferry gates. i should mention, regarding gate

e, gate e will be relocated slightly eastward of its current position so that it lines up with the new gates and then so that promenade area in front of the gates can be expanded from what it is today. i should also mention that you got there today, we have pier two, it is now public access. that would need to be demolished as part of this project to create the water area. you see the agriculture building there and agriculture building is not part of this project. the port does hope to renovate the agriculture building in the future. this project contemplates that. we'll talk about little bit more in a moment.

the license agreement runs concurrently with and with the lease. as long as lease is in effect, the license will be in effect. they need both. the license area includes 38,000 square feet of new supported promenade and please areas. for passenger, for passenger circulation and access to and from the ferry gates. then very importantly, i think for emergency staging. so that's part of their mission. that's the e and wita and the entire facility, the license area is designed, engineered and will be built to central structure standard. the idea being that in the event of a major seismic event, the

facility will continue to operate and they can stage evacuees in that license area particularly in the plaza area. continuing with the license. the port upon application of -- completion of construction, the port will take over ownership management and maintenance responsibilities for the license area. the port will be responsible for all the costs associated with maintaining that area. we've estimated those costs at about $75,000 a year for labor. that's not net new cost to the port. port has cost today associated with the area and those costs will be absorbed by existing resources. i mentioned that it's a nonexclusive license. there are other uses that will take place in the license area.

in particular, we would like to see farmer's market expand to the plaza area. our permit allows for unlimited basis. on a trial basis for us to do that farmers market and other special events. it will be reviewed after two year period and potentially expanded and to allow for more frequent events. then, skip to one of the bullets. another use is the entire license area is public access areas. it will be -- we think it will be an area that is very popular. very desirable. people can go there and enjoy their lunch and enjoy the views. so that's something very important. finally, this license agreement does allow for potential

adjustments to the boundaries of the agreement or license area to accommodate adjacent projects. i mentioned agriculture building, which we would like to renovate in the near term as soon as we can. the seawall project. if needed, we will come together with wita and work that out. that'that basically concludes my presentation. i need to point out two changes to the resolution. on the second page of the resolution, which is page 8 of the staff report, there are two paragraphs that need to be struck. just simply 38ed i.

-- 38, deleted. top of age 8 it's a paragraph that appears on the bottom of page 7. we'll delete that paragraph. about in the middle of page 8, there's a whereas clause that begins, whereas any motion to approve that is another redundant clause. it's redundant that one that appears second to last whereas clause. we're going to strike that part. just a little clean up there that i need to let you know about. we have here today representatives from wita. we're here to answer any

questions. we're seeking your approval of both of these documents to allow this facility to be operated long into the future. and excited to reach this point. thank you very much. >> entertain a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on 11a? is there any public comment? seeing none. public comment is closed. commissioner woo ho. >> i want to understand on the last picture, those are just three new? the last picture you showed us, the last slide? >> this slide here. which is also on the title slide. yes, this is a view. e, f and g. >> i understand we're not asking

for any -- how much will they be investing in the project? >> the project is correct me if i'm wrong, $65 million of investment. >> can you come up plaza? >> construction cost of the project $65 million. over all cost is $79 million. >> if we had nonwita vessels. they can come to any of these? is it restricted to certain piers? >> they can come to any of these facilities. wita will charge them a fee that the agreement is explicitly

allows them to charge a fee to cover their direct costs. then the port is able to charge a fee on top of that. >> other question is, you say on one of your slide ownership of control is transported from wita. >> other two will be constructed by wita. >> you're saying down the line, when they are constructed, then we'll transfer ownership. >> we'll never own those. currently we own gate e, f and g do not exist currently. we need to give them control of gate e which we currently have. >> gate e we are going to come up with 20%? >> correct. >> that's roughly -- >> that's roughly about $300,000

based on a total project cost for of $1.5 million. >> that is currently in the capital budget? >> yes. we have that funded within our capital budget. >> okay. thank you. that's all my questions. >> commissioner katz. >> asked a couple of questions. this one little more ewill be ration in terms of the use of the license on a nonexclusive basis. logistically how is that going to work. water taxes will be allowed to have landing here? >> the lease is an exclusive area. wita has exclusive rights to the lease

>> it's not exclusive to land side but on the piers it's exclusively for wita? >> correct. they do have the ability to -- they decide they want to allow landings of nonwita vessels. which could include water taxi. i'm not sure these facilities would be appropriate for that. 0 or designed for that. they could do that. they would be able to charge a fee to recover their costs associated with those landings and the port can also charge a fee. >> then, just as we talk about sea level rise, that has somewhat been accounted for here. as we found the projections of sea level raise -- rise has

changed since first provided to us. i have to confessed i thought they were overly ambitious at the time. has any thought been given to floating piers? >> the project is designed to allow for some adaptation beyond the sea level rise measures that are built into the project. which includes building that new please and the new promenade structures. three feet above the current elevation. it will adapt the gang ways and the floats and the connections to the land in the future depending on what happens to sea

level. >> just add to little specificity what he said. the project is designed for, expected life of 50 year life. which brings 2070. it needs to go about another foot above that. that takes and is handled by a curb on the promenade which is 12 inches tall. the gates could be adjusted upward. the site enjoys some protection and there's a break water and part of the impact sea level ride is the wave action. yes, it does take into account the possibility to adapt for further end of the future than

2070. >> thank you for the presentation. can you give me an example of a nonwita vessel? >> sure. dinner cruise, run by horn blower for example. if for some reason they wanted to use these facilities they would have the ability to do that. >> what is a wita vessel? >> i might have mike come back up here. [laughter] they have operating operating agreements with blue and gold. those will be considered wita vessels. i believe they have vessels they operate by their own agency. i will have mike explain that a little bit better.

>> largest newest vessel in the bay. it's a term we defined in the lease agreement. any vessel owned by wita or a vessel leased by wita that's in wita surface. it, boats we owned or leased through a contract operator. >> gate e, what is the current revenue? >> i didn't bring those exact figures. i can tell you, i mentioned in the presentation that we currently have negative net revenues to the tune of about $125,000 a year. revenues that we do collect are less than the cost that we incur associated with that facility by

$125,000. >> for gate e. >> for gate e and similar situation with gate b. the two of them together, the net loss or the net subsidy is $250,000 a year based on a five year history of those cost in revenues. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner kounalakis. >> this is really exciting. i see in the staff report, there's expectation construction will start soon? >> yes. in fact, these occupants have been approved by the wita board as of last thursday at their board meeting. this is the final approval needed. i mentioned the construction lease and the llda which have been approved by both agencies. that was done in the fall. construction is expected to

begin i think construction fence you'll start see going up this weekend or monday i think. then construction can begin probably three weeks after that. we do have a ground breaking ceremony scheduled. hopefully it made its way on your calendars for thursday may 11th. >> that's really exciting. i do have some questions for you. it's really mostly just related to the costs that we may incur and what the responsibilities of the port are. there clearly will be a line. i'm looking at the public access map. it kind of shows the perimeter pretty clearly. all of those purple areas, are they going to be maintained by wita over time? >> are you referring to the license agreement?

>> i'm referring to the license agreement. but then the map that i'm using is the one in your handout. >> within the license area, shown in the staff report, in the presentation, also in the staff report as wita exhibit b, that's all pile support of deck that will be constructed by wita. they have responsibility for certain sort of ferry terminal specific improvements that will be located within that license area. that includes the -- i didn't show it part of the presentation, i think you can see these canopy structures.

i've got a slide here kind of depicting the canopy structure. panels on top and they'll be used for weather protection for ferry passengers. they may have signage into them. those will be maintained by wita. there's a potential for kiosk to be located. like ticketing kiosk to be located within the license area. that -- otherwise the port will have responsibility. it will basically be for cleaning, pour washing for trash removal. >> in this public access areas where you have the grand of plaza and east promenade, all those areas in terms of maintaining them keeping them clean, that's the responsibility

of the port? >> correct. >> do we have any estimate then of what all of this is going to cost us with the huge increase in pedestrian use of these areas? >> we did estimate basically of the number of labor hours. number of person hours it would take to perform the various duties associated with maintaining these facilities. trash removal and cleaning of the surfaces. there's a small storm water drainage planter area that will be need to be watered. we estimate number of hours. we worked with tom carter to kind of come up with how many hours and what does that mean in salaries. it's estimated about .5fte.

20 hours a week. >> in terms of the delta what it cost us now versus what it will cost us later. hard to believe it's just 20 hours of work. you're going to have people waiting in line. maybe going to be more trash. you've got this amphitheater. they will bill amphitheater and pieces break and things need to be repaired. aren't we going to be responsible fixing that? >> we will be responsible for example the sub structure. yes, beyond the warranty period of the improvements, we will be responsible for making repairs should they be rared. this is going to be designed and built to state-of-the-art

central structure standard. very high quality materials. >> there's no estimate done what the ongoing maintenance of all of these things will be built that the port will be responsible for? >> beyond sort of operating the impact on the apriling budget -- operating budget, we estimate $75,000 a year. that's not all net new costs. we haven't tried to estimate what happens if something gets broken. we don't expect that to happen. over the life of the agreement, yes, the port will incur some costs. the port incurs costs today associated with this area. >> it's not amphitheater. >> it's a raised plaza. i'm not sure it could call it amphitheater. you have seating steps that you can sit on to enjoy your lunch.

but it's flat. it's a flat please structure with steps on two says. >> the granite plaza, will we control the use of that for special purposes? >> yes. we will be able to as i mentioned. to program it occasionally for special events for farmers market. we have limitations on the number of events we can do. that will be the port's discretion. as long as those events do not interfere with wita ability to operate the ferry. >> okay. it will be really exciting to see all the construction beginning out there.

>> good presentation. i remember the last one you gave, changed from cruise terminal last year. maybe somebody from wita can come up. i agree with the commissioner kounalakis. this is going to be a full time job. 20 hours a week. we'll have all kind of people down there. this is not a part time down there at that plaza and keeping up the may not unanimou maintenance. don't you agree? >> we do know. we have an estimate? we work with tom carter to perform an estimate. we're subsidizing to the tune of $250,000 a year. the new cost we're taking on are substantially less than our current subsidy. i know that's not a perfect answer. we have new big belly trash cans that will alert us when they are

full and not full. we have scheduled trash pick up. which is very efficient because we know in those trash containers are open. we sweep before there's anyone out there in the we hour. we sweep in the morning and evenings. that cycle will not change. we haven't done estimate of the capital cost of the facility in ages over the amphitheater. the question that commissioner kounalakis was asking about. we do estimate operating pensions half fte. >> would you like -- is there anything you like to interject? this is a project with the port and wita work hand in hand? >> absolutely. thank you president adams and commissioners. i'm excited to be here today too. can't wait for construction. we've been working on this for eight years together in partnership.

the way i look at it, we're taking what you started here and we're going to construct the next phase of it. really take responsibility for that water side for that ferry side that financial responsibility by upgrading and refurbishing gate e which needs it and needed for years. then expanding on it and taking responsibility for managing and maintaining and rehabilitating. it's a true partnership. we really appreciate your executive director of forbes and all of your support over the years. we're excited to -- this will be the hub of our regional ferry system expansion services. we already operate alameda, oakland and services here and look forward to expanding to treasure island and possibly redmond city and berkeley and other places over the years.

thank you. >> napa. >> i had a question. i appreciate all of the discussion on terms of the amount of increase pedestrian traffic. since we're refurbishing first. what the plan for terry -- ferry traffic. since we know the number issue in san francisco is traffic. congestion. when will we see some relief as more capacity comes on with ferries and how many more people will you take on? i imagine it's in phases. this project is in phases. >> it all depends on how quickly we're able to roll out services. >> at least your estimate. there's lots of approvals. what you terms hope to achieve. >> we currently carry 10,000.

and another 20. it depends on which year you're talking about. >> when will we start to see that release? >> once we build the facilities. >> what's the schedule for construction and completion? >> for the new terminal? it will happen over the next two years. >> okay. if we get progress reports, i suggest you give us fill us up. so we can seat the benefits coming to the city. we're all excited. this is something we look forward to. it would be nice to say that we're seeing how that contribution that come through the increase ferry service. >> our first new ferry service is from rich monday --

richmond. that will be the first add of service that will come into san francisco. that's going to start nexu next summer for fall. it will depend on how much money we have and can put together to expand terminal in other places. >> how much of your federal money that you referenced in your deck, how much do you still have to secure? >> we have the full funding to build this gate f and g. >> colleagues anything else? >> no. just that i am just so excited to see this come under construction. it's really going to change the face of this party of the water front. it's it will allow more people who want to get around by ferry to do so.

i was here after the game. we walked down to get something to 8 at the ferry building. there was a long line of people waiting to get on that alameda ferry. there was no shelter. they didn't know. i said to my husband, it's the line probably moves fast. if you're at the end of t you don't know if you're going to get on. increasing the capacity for more people to know that it's a reliable mode of transportation for them. one of the things that i've been hearing, there's not -- the way that people are looking at dealing with traffic in san francisco is not about increasing capacity on the roadways. you really can't do that. it's about finding completely different alternatives for how people get around the bay area.

there used to be a lot more ferry traffic. even 50 or 60 years ago in the bay. than there is now. it's a really pleasant way to get around if you're not a person prone to sea sickness. it's really a way that people used to enjoy getting around. it's just wonderful under utilized opportunity but with this project, it can really have the ability to entirely change the way that people are moving from different parts of the bay area and to do it in a way that is really pleasant and find is beautiful. i think it's terrific. i certainly rely on our executive director's assurances that relative to incurring additional cost for the port, this has been examined and it's clear that there are cost savings for us associated with it.

so thank you. whatever additional new kinds of costs fully understood and we're prepared to take them on. again, thank you for being here for the great presentation and i look forward to being there for the big ground breaking. >> the 11th. >> colleges anything else? seeing none. thank you. colleague all in resolution number 17. aye, resolution 17 passes. >> item 12 new business. >> i have jotted down that we are going to schedule for down the road progress report on ferry ridership and capital improvements. for the next calendar, ideo will be continued and real estate staff will provide more detailed information about the current rates, parameter rents, schedule and will provide validation for the proposal based on market

conditions. that's all i've got. >> i move to reconvene in closed session. >> second. >> all if favor say aye. >> aye. >> oppose. we are now in closed session. thank you. >> i move to reconvene open session. >> second. >> all if in favor say aye. >> all if favor say aye. >> opposed. >> i move to adjourn. >> public comment. >> motion to adjourn. all if favor say aye. >> opposed. we are adjourned 5:35.
