1:00 am
provided about the budget. in particular, i want to touch upon some trends in terms of looking back and providing details about positions and seeing if there are any additional questions you may have. so first of all, i do want to touch upon the overview of the port's budget in the larger city context. city wide we actually are projecting as of the time of the mayor's instructions coming out, the mayor's office was projecting a general fund shortfall of about $88 million in the first fiscal year and $173 million in the second fiscal year. it's really due to concerns about the economy cooling, not having revenue grow as quickly as it had in recent years as well as growing expenditure costs, particularly on personnel. as an enterprise department, the port isn't constrained by the general fund.
1:01 am
however, we have been asked to control our position and to look at revenues and be active about projections for growth. you will see we are working to control costs and any position changes that we are requesting is offset by holding other positions vacant. i call that salary savings or attrition, as well as by filling positions as project funded. the positions are contingent upon available capital funding. appropriate with the prior one, on the strategic plan, i think that supports pretty much the entire strategic plan i just by putting the resources in place necessary to implement the open stability is something that is a common theme they will be talking about within the budget
1:02 am
and looking at the trends above them. looking out for the port's resources and thinking about capital investments. very quickly, i want to recap what is being proposed on the budget. it is $192.6 million and this include $159.8 million in ongoing costs and $32.8 million in one-time sources primarily dedicated to supporting our capital program. that budget is overall $46 million increase from the 2017-2018 budget. and as you can see, while we do have ongoing sources growing within the proposed budget, the majority of the growth actually is from one-time sources. again, that will be supporting capital. the proposed 2019-20 budget is
1:03 am
$151.3 million. and that is $31.3 million -- sorry -- $31.3 million reduction from the proposed 2018-19 budget, and as you can see, this is largely due to the reduction of fund balance. and spending down spending down resources accumulated from prior years. additionally 17.5 reduction in general fund support. and the general fund for the seawall resiliency program. and the earthquake -- >> earthquake safety program. >> i will get that eventually. >> an i'm working on that name. i will get it in my mind. >> and in terms of expenses and how we're using those funds, you can see that the proposed budget
1:04 am
of $192.6 million for fiscal year 18-19 is comprised of operating expenses, capital and reserves. and the growth in the budget is primarily a combination of operating expenses and the capital budget. a second year and the capital budget the primary driver and the spend down of the general resources that we are requesting. so there were a lot of questions in the budget about the commissioners about how the port revenues from various divisions support acceptance within various divisions. i think that it's actually really fascinating to see that the real estate and development provides the majority of the income to the department. maritime holds its own with the income generation. $qnh")nfdbíg=#6ovccñ>amó]e

that tee beginning classifications. they are just some g/4wñ positis that i think we needed to reclassify in order tohf7írñ geg effective within the organization. >> so we do have three and a could typically add to theqveve count we have offset it. so according to the mayor's office that is neutral from a personale, filled positions but other pro jeblght positions we are to delight so we will have two and and here, i really wanted to wak you through what thispc< means. so it's complicated all of these changes. and this tablefm

1:33 am
>> aye.úq=y÷7hy much of this information is captured in an addendum to the staff report. here i will start that high level context view. so if we see the first number there.
1:34 am
the $19 million represents the. a capital work the port has completed in fiscal 17. base. ed on the financial statements for that year. highlighted gray box really showed the meat of the work cop coming over the next five years. this is expanding the view to that full-five-year perspective we talked about being useful as we think about developing capital projects and here we see we have $105 million, approximately. $105 million. of expropriation for capital work, that these are projects the port is working on now. the 2-year budget includes $40 million toward projects that are underway and $13 million toward new projects. the projects are listed specifically in that addendum. and additional fund and projects underway are sometimes fun for projects where this is simply the next phase of works. so that includes money for the general fund request for the ferry landing and the seawell as they move into phases and also
1:35 am
the case where the scope has been expanded or additional fund are needed to complete projects and the new number is $65 million. the program in the outyears of the capital improvement program. they are highlighted in the addendum and we will be bringing you more detail when we come back with a full cip. and finally there's the piece that we couldn't get to with our existing fund. $93 million of projects proposed by staff for consideration in this 5-year period that we were written able to fun with the existing resource wes have. it would be a priority should more become available or thing for which we would seek outside of fund if opportunities arise. and those projects are listed by name in the back of the attachment as well. ed ad a woo woo
1:36 am
the crews will go out and start removing piles in the next few weeks so we will see some of that work started quite soon and that -- to really focus on your specific questions and keep this brief concludes my highlight and i'm looking forward to coming back to you in april with the capital program and more highlight of this prot joke we are now seeking your approval of the capital budget and i'm happy to answer any other questions. brand bran thank you. is there any public comment on
1:37 am
this item. commissioner adam, any questions? commissio commission er katz. thank you very much for update we really appreciate it. all in favour? >> aye. brand bran resolution 1816 has been approved. >> and completion and outcomes of part 2 of the public process and initiation of part 3 of the lining process. good afternoon. i'm did iian ocean. director of planning development and i believe for water front plan team, we are very happy to
1:38 am
be here today to give you a briefing on an enormous leg of work that's been completed by the waterfront plan working group. we have a very detailed report. this will provide a summary of that. and the staff is supported by more detail and backup of the depth and the course of the public discussions in the part 2 report. i would like to first acknowledge we have several member of our waterplan working group. the coach here, sitting here in the front row. unfortunately had to leave. the other coach here for another commitment. there's nothing that staff could possibly say that would reflect our gratitude for the investment that they have made.
1:39 am
this presentation will be met by different members of our corey water plant group. carey worked with me on some of this land use recommendations that you will hear about. we will also hear from david, he will be sharing this presentation. brad on the transportation works and also presenting resilience and environmental sustainability information and working with anne cooke. and i also wanted to acknowledge rebecca, a team member of the work that was completed in part 2. so this presentation we will describe a bit of the part 2 process. the staff will say that the port 1 was an orientation on the port. and that surfaced a number of key policy issues that were the focus in part 2 to develop port-wide policy recommendations
1:40 am
to port commission and port staff that would guide us in drafting amendments to update the waterfront land use plan. the recommendations reflect the public's values and the direction and -- you know any questions or concerns so that staff can take into account a good understanding of the public and the working groups insights as to what should be included in court-wide policy updates to the plan. i guess i skipped a little bit there. i will go back to next steps and i will cover it as well, including part 3 of the planning process. part 2 really was the lion's share of the work that was completed. we have some additional items that i will share with you that we will focus on on part 3 and some following steps to complete the public review process.
1:41 am
with respect to the part 2 process, there was a wide array of policy issues that were flagged for discussion. and they were so broad that the most efficient way that we thought for tackling those -- with your direction we identified three different working groups -- subcommittees of the working group to be able to tackle more interactive discussions to come up with the recommendations. the land use committee headed by ellen rogers and by richardson and the resil resiliency committee by pinkle who are all here today and the working group wanted to make sure there was some framework for all of the communities and set forth guiding principals and seven point of highlights and
1:42 am
priorities that focused on mine entertainmenting an eye towards resilience planning for looking at the future of the waterfront. the importance of the market or historic district and the need to look at creative ways of being able t maintain the integrity and those points of view set the focus of all of those committees. the committees met from november 2016 to september of 2017. it was an enormous a.m. amount of work. very deep in-depth assessments
1:43 am
which we will highlight in a few minutes and the tradeoff and the choices that are -- were raised -- because we were competing objectives, were also included. so there was a very rich debate. and discussion. all of it very respectful and civic and sophisticated. and the committees came up with 161 recommendations that are all in that part 2 final report. they brought it to the full working group from september to december. the working group had a series of meetings to review all of those recommendations to make sure that everybody understood what the touch points were to consider the financial implications which were another main consideration of this working group from the outset, particularly with the direction of co-chair.
1:44 am
superintendent of those 171. 150 were recommended for the water front plan. so again the work involved in this year-long process was quite memorable and it was an honour to be a part of that. court staff was not the only members involved. it takes a village, kind of effort. and just as your strategic plan discussions and budget discussions have reflect wed are a city family and the interface between the port and the city and all of its different functions are very numerous and we have representation from all of the public agencies involved. we also had 7 advisory teams for the waterfront working group that also lent their expertise.
1:45 am
and then we hired consultants as well to provide focused analysis and guidance to ensure that we had well grounded, well founded information to the working group, which supported the recommendations. so for the lan use recommendations i will be giving, and following me will be david. so the recommendations with a big shoutout to kerry tilston anne cooke who worked with david on the transportation subcommittee. >> with respect to the last use committee any look at many issues regarding parks and open
1:46 am
space spaces spaces and recreational uses of those facilities should be programmed. you know short story. the waterfront parks are precious. they are very highly valued. they are an important place for the whole city and we were lucky to have state land staff, including executive officer jennifer participating in these discussions because some of the issues in the past have been about how the parks are programmed. and overall, right now, most of the marks are for passive public access and recreational enjoyment and what we were hearing from the public was a need to have a broader array of activities and recreational pursuits that are supported in our open spaces and parks. that still were responsive to
1:47 am
have public state by land. so jennifer casey were very helpful in educating us all as to the range of public trust related recreational pursuits that are worthy of the parks that were responsive to some of the public comments we were getting, broadening the range of recreational activities. people would like to see more active recreation. they would like to be able to see more programmed advanced perhaps pilot programs to be able to try out different kind of activities and fun thing to do. and i think all of us took away from that the fact that there could be -- through designs, the ability to support both ranges of activities on the public trust front as well as the local and regional front.
1:48 am
it's not an either/or thing. one thing, port parks are not like municipal park. those types of facilities should be in addition to port facilities. related to open space and parks was the recommendation to increase water recreation opportunities. there's a lot of landside opportunity for public access but the water side access for rowers, boaters, swimmer, diversity of activities is a relatively new area of water recreation and that was promoted in the recommendation coming out of the land use committee that we are subject to the working group.
1:49 am
the land use committee focused on maritime industries and public set access. we have a lot of maritime industries and people love them. san francisco's diverse maritime portfolio is a high point for public so they respect that. at the time they respect public set to the peers and so there was a lot of discuss about how do we share in balance public access and make sure the peers are available for maritime birthing as well. we have a growth in transportation and we will need to come up material that will thread that needle and so sometimes they can share public access where they work and other times maritime birthing is not safe and combatable with public access but the land use committee really recognized that just the ability to see all of these different types of vesse
1:50 am
vessel as a visual interest in the visual public access should be something that counts as public access. it was hear for them to hear. that what serves the public interest on the water front programs more narrowly than the uses in the water front plan and the working group really cape up with the clear statement that we want more public oriented uses. state land was in this conversation with the working group. they understand -- looking over the last 20 years, the exploring shown here, in particular that some of these uses that they
1:51 am
might -- in a different waterfront context, not considered to be trust consistent. a museum. is actually, in our historic district, one of the thing that makes our historic district so successful. so we were really happy with resources and institutions are public gathering places that can really help to make our historic disstrict come alive. we've got an enormous wonderful historic disstrict on the water side that people love and they are very behold end to trying to
1:52 am
maintain -- for as long as possible. on the city side, along the embarkadero we have a few sea lots left over they are basically in-fill sites and there was a lot of discussion about what kind of uses should be allowed. what is the character of those -- the improvement of those sites. and by in large the waterfront plan policy is now saying, they should be i will proved consistent with the complex and the character of their neighbors that surround them. it was embraced by the working group. hotel and retail. even though some of those uses are not trust uses are appropriate. and in that light, the working group embraced and recognized that lifting the trustees restrictions on some of these to allow for housing in their office is a valid objective,
1:53 am
given the context of each project. and if it's done on a case by case base carefully. that that is something they recognized a being a valid objective of the plan. whether you lift the trustee's restrictions or not, that ground floor active use for pedestrian and public oriented uses was an important objective because that's how you keep the water front alive and available for the broadest range of people that come here. but until we do some of those long-term improvements they also spent quite a bit of time talking about parking and parking was recognized as being a trust use to service the people who are visiting from the region or state or beyond who may not be able to take transit.
1:54 am
so there was a recognition that they have their place for supporting businesses. and on an interim basis for generating revenue for some of the capital needs that we have been talking about today. a lot of energy. people are troubled by the cost of what it takes to maintain and improve the facilities and the types of activities that people would like to see. so the work that i'm going to sub ris summarize here is for the public, for state lands and for the port staff to come into one frame of understanding that hopefully will help us really rehabilitate and get the most out of these. frankly the agriculture building too. it's our own landmark but also in the district.
1:55 am
we talked about the challenges of historic peer improvements and for that reason, we hired an engineering firm and eps led an economic and design team so that we could analyze what are the costs and the condition of our -- the costs associated with them for various types of improvements. what kind of uses can pay and what kind of revenues and what kind of lease terms do we have to be considering in order to be able to make these peers improve and rehabilitate these peers and yet still respond to -- in the orange, certain public trust objectives, which i will highlight in a moment. that discussion brought state lands and the public and the port too, and under the circumstancing that the unique condition and the qualities of
