the port will ensure that everyone can traverse and enjoy the waterfront safely, but it is a big task to keep the waterfront safe and secure, especially when we have big storms. thank you for all your work. december is a really wonderful time of year on the waterfront. the holiday spirit is in full swing. we have events and programming that continue to build community and activate the waterfront. the holly, jolly, trolley will be at the ferry building and fishermen's wharf this week on thursday evening, december 16th. and on december 17th there will be the grand opening of the ferry building. a brick and mortar location. today i will provide my report the usual way. early in 2022 i will include an end of 2021 overview as we discussed strategic plans going into the new year with the

objectives of 2022 and the port commission president and v.p. and all commissioners, i have a short preview for you. we have accomplished a lot this year and i think you'll be proud that we have much to celebrate. central to the port is ensuring sustained economic recovery. on a foundation of equity and resilience. the port made significant progress in each of these areas and is poised to continue raising the bar in the years to come. because of the economic recovery work this year, jobs and livelihoods have been saved. the waterfront and city are positioned to welcome millions and meaningful opportunities on the horizon. i want to thank the port commission, the president and vice president, and all commissioners for your very steady and passionate leadership. i want to thank port staff for their dedication and hard work in delivering on these very -- in these very changing times. i will start my report with economic recovery.

as you know, we are experiencing the worst economic conditions in our recent history because of the covid pandemic. we expect five years and will be needed to recover to prepandemic revenues. lastly, i pleased to announce that the land commission approved the first import history, the award for federal stimulus dollars to support economic recovery after the catastrophic loss of revenue. funded through the american rescue plan act, the stimulus support will help avoid staff layoffs for the next two years and provide a reprieve to work on long-term, economic and revenue enhancing strategies for 2024 and beyond. the maritime business continues to be a beacon of hope for the port's long and short-term recovery. we are expecting record numbers

of calls in 2022. the real estate group, the primary workhorse for revenue has been executing leases and keeping viable tenants in place. they took tremendous amount of time and energy. we had staff who persevered and are committed to our organization with the commission's leadership, port leadership and our evolving strategic plan, this talented staff will ensure the path of civility and recovery. to equity, i have some highlights in our equity work that i would like to discuss. in 2021 the port strengthened our commitment to creating a waterfront for all and a cultural -- a culture of inclusion. tenants partnered with staff and community-based organizations on new programs, including the youth sailing program to introduce and invite bayview youth to learn to sail.

this may well inspire a lifelong love affair with the san francisco bay. we also issued north of $800,000 in loans to 23 diverse businesses. nearly 75% of those loans have been made to women or minority owned businesses and nearly half of the loans have been made to lack and latin x businesses. port is also working to build equitable communities. with the opening of 125 units that are 100% affordable at the broadway cove and 735 davis street. low and moderate income cell -- san franciscans will enjoy everything the waterfront has to offer. we joined the community and being so proud. meanwhile other neighborhoods made tremendous progress. there are new developments in

south beach. these have begun early concept. these communities will bring even more affordable homes to the waterfront, maritime investments, as well as jobs, open space, and climate change adaptations to ensure that they are protected for generations to come. we are working to enshrine equity as a core value among port staff. we aim to create an organizational culture of inclusion and belonging with an explicit goal of making sure the port becomes an antiracist organization, a more equitable place to work. staff across the port work together to identify and implement the racial equity action plan, with actions underway this year. we have started racial equity training and developed -- to develop a shared understanding of the structural racism and to

learn skills and strategies to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. the organization will expand equity training in years to come. the port in the beginning stages of creating an organization with equity as a core port value. we look forward to reporting more in the year to come. now to keep projects. i would like to discuss a huge milestone in the waterfront resilience program, which is a port lead, city and regional special project. you will hear from the team later today, but i would be remiss not to share 2021 progress, that projects protect the city and infrastructure from earthquake and flood risks. the port is adapting and evolving the waterfront to create a short -- a safer short line. later today we will introduce 23 seawall early projects to the port commission and the public. these will partially be funded by prop a. a city bond passed

overwhelmingly by voters in 2018. the early projects will focus on critical state -- safety investments in the northern waterfront. it will make the waterfront resilience to earthquakes and sea level rise. i proud to lead this city and region to ensure a resilient waterfront for future generations. i proud also of the organization's successes throughout the change in 2021. it has been a difficult year once again, but we have many, many successes to celebrate. the last few years proved, without a doubt, that we live in an increasingly changing world. the years ahead will demand more action from our organization, but i am optimistic that the

port will rise to the challenge. our collective potential is stronger than ever. now is the time to work together to unlock innovations, unleash talent and create a more economically vibrant, equitable and resilient waterfront for everyone. lastly, i want to congratulate the many retirements we had in 2021. port staff have stepped up again and again to make the waterfront and our city the best it can be. thank you to all of our retirees for their years of service. we appreciate you and wish you a fruitful retirement. i wish everyone, our staff, commissioners, and public wonderful and 22021 and a very happy new year. thank you. that concludes my report. >> thank you, elaine. we will now open up the phone for public comment on the executive director's report for members of the public who are

joining us on the phone. we will be on operator and will provide instructions now for anyone on the phone who would like to provide public comment. >> thank you, president brandon. at this time, we will open the queue for anyone on the phone who would like to make public comment on the executive director's report. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. the system will let you know when you're line is open. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments will be limited to three minutes per person. the queue is now open. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. >> thank you. do we have anyone on the phone? >> there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> seeing no colors on the phone, public comment is closed.

>> congratulations on the initial funding and i appreciate the recap of everything that has happened in a very challenging year. congratulations to the staff in rising to the challenge. thank you and happy holidays. >> thank you. commissioner gilman? >> i just wanted to echo happy holidays to everyone on the staff and for the stuff for stepping up with the unprecedented amount of talent that we had in the past year. people have really stepped up. i want to say that it is so exciting. we are creating affordable homes in spite of everything going on. we will have a great future in

2022. thank you for your support and your director's report. >> commissioner burton? >> nothing to add. good comments. >> thank you. vice president adams? >> rector forbes, to the staff, your contribution this year has been phenomenal. the staff and everyone has just flourished. president brandon, thank you for your strong leadership and for your vision into the other commissioners. this is the best commission in the city. i would match it for any group in this country pound for pound. i miffed that we can't meet in person. we have made the best out of a bad situation.

it doesn't look like there is any relief in this covid, but that underscores all the of accomplishments. i'm glad we were able to get the federal money to help with the port and our tenants. i just want to say, thank you for all hands on deck and for the team effort and the citizens of san francisco know that the commission staff and the port director, we are there for them and all of our customers. we have risen to the occasion. i wouldn't expect anything other than that. i want to say to everybody, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you so much for your extensive report and i know this has been an extremely challenging year for you and the staff with the retirements, with the pandemic, with everything that is going on, i think the staff has just stepped up and down a phenomenal job this year. couldn't be more proud of you

and your leadership team. for all that you have accomplished and taken on this year. from the bottom of my heart, i want to thank you and everyone else because i know our tenants, the visitors, everyone is having a wonderful experience at the ports. i hope to see the holly jolly. i would definitely like to welcome the federal funding. that is phenomenal. >> i'm so looking forward to 2022, but this year has been a phenomenal year for the port. i truly want to thank all the staff and my fellow commissioners for all the time, energy, and support you have given to the port thank you. >> thank you so much. if i could just redirect quickly

to my director's report, i want to thank you so much for your tireless effort for our organization, for the way you pour over our staff reports and help us prepare and challenge us to look at things in new ways and the complete dedication you give to our organization, as well as all the commissioners. i wanted to make a special complement to you, president brandon, for just a huge amount of dedication and wisdom and passion and push that you have given to the organization to see us achieve our best and brightest. i know the future will be brighter. thank you for all of that contribution. >> thank you. carl, next item, please. >> item 10 is the consent calendar. or approval of a resolution adopting findings of a new state urgency legislation to allow remote meetings during the covid-19 emergency and

continuing meetings for the next 30 days and direct during -- coming to a similar commission resolution within 20 days. tenancy request approval of an issue -- issue request for proposals for technical services for peer 70 and walk development projects. ten day request approval to extend see waivers for licenses for you support properties for restaurants and retail businesses on private property adjoining port property in connection with the court shared spaces program for outdoor dining and retail activities for an additional four months through april 30th, 2022. that is resolution 2152. ten ne is a resolution authorizing the executive director to amend the feasibility cost sharing

agreement with united states army corps of engineers for the san francisco coastal flood study to extend the turbine additional 50 months, increase the port share of cost by up to the additional 5 million and allow the port to provide accelerated funds for its share of the cost. that is resolution 2153. >> thank you, carl. commissioners, may i have a motion to approve the consent calendar? >> so move. >> i will second. >> thank you. let's open it up for public comment. we will open the phone line to

take public comment on the consent calendar for members of the public who are joining us on the phone. jenna cup will be our operator and will provide instructions now. >> thank you. at this time, we will open the q. for anyone on the phone who would like to make public comment on the consent calendar. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. the system will let you know when you're lying is open. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments will be limited to minutes per person. the q. is now open. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. >> thank you. do we have anyone on the phone? >> there are no members at this time on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> thank you. seeing no members on the phone, public comment is closed. do we have a motion and a second? can we please have a roll call vote? [ roll call ]

>> the motion passes unanimously. the resolutions are adopted. next item, please. >> item 11 a request approval of a five-year rate structure and fees for landings by ferry and excursion operators. that would be resolution 2154. >> good afternoon, president brandon, port commissioners, i dominic with the maritime division and today i joined by andre coleman, our maritime director to a request approval of the implementation of the five-year schedule for the ferry commuter excursion rates for port managed facilities. next slide, please. this presentation will provide a background to the proposed strategy and the five-year fee schedules for your approval to

be implemented as of january first, 2022. for inclusion into issued maritime licenses to use port property for landings at port managed facilities. next slide, please. the port of san francisco operates two terminals for ferry operators. the downtown ferry terminal at the ferry building, and the china basin ferry terminal adjacent to oracle ballpark. the ferry building is the hub of the bay area regional ferry system and is the state of california's leading prairie passenger destination. this count includes those passing through the golden gate

bridge highway and transportation district's terminal and the facilities at other gates, which it operates and maintains. in addition to ferry operations, the port provides earthing and landing facilities at hyde street harbor, china basin, and south beach harbor for a variety of water excursions, including bay voyages and dinner cruises. the port also has licenses in place for excursion operators, homeport at other bay area harbours and marinas that speak to land at the port's facilities. of note, all of the land and revenue collected by the harbor is used to pay for the harbor expenses and capital improvements and does not commingle with revenues from other landings at the port. next slide, please. in may 2010, staff presented information and categorize and compare the expenses of operating the terminals to the revenues they received from those operations to the port commissions. in december 2010, the port commission approved a form landings rights agreement and a five-year fee schedule and authorize executive director to enter into license agreements with the various ferry and excursion operators as represented in resolution 1077.

as of november 2021, there are two regional ferry operators, and six excursion operators, to name a few. they are operating under licenses with the port. except for 2019, due to the global covid-19 pandemic, the port has imposed an approximate two% annual fee increase after the expiration of the initial five year rates. as provided by resolution 1077, the landing rights agreement form is periodically updated to include standard port license language and requirements, including newly enacted mandatory city requirements such as the excursion vessel labor peace ordinance. next slide, please in 2010, staff reported that ferry operations were historically subsidized by the port and proposed increases to the fees designed to decrease the operating shortfall.

a recent financial analysis of the port's operating model shows a continued and substantial subsidy of terminal operations by the port, especially at the downtown ferry terminal. unfortunately, the global pandemic had dire impacts to the water transit system around the area and specifically to walter transit ridership in and out of san francisco. next slide, please. while the previous strategy was to increase the rates to rapidly reduce any subsidy, the past year and a half has delayed this implementation. in most recent reports, the ferry operators are operating at below 50% for some routes and as low as 10% of prepandemic ridership numbers on others. this slide shows ridership only, but the trends are similar with the other operator. while ridership continues to slowly increase, the operating costs of facilities remain the same. next slide, please considering

the continued operating shortfall, staff recommends continuing to increase commuter ferry fees at the downtown ferry terminal by 3.5%, which approximates an average consumer price index. effective january 1st, 2022, and continuing on with an increase over the next five years to allow the water transportation system and the community public time to return to prepandemic ridership numbers. the current commuter landing fee is $29.25 per landing and the proposed fees are shown in the scheduled oblate -- display. these revised fees for gate to be, china basin ferry terminal and excursions, if approved, these fees will be included in the form license. next slide, please. the current fee for regular schedule ferry landings is $29.50 per landing. the new fee schedule recommendation, effective april

1st, 2022 to reflect the baseball season, is to implant a 30-dollar landing fee or $60 for a round-trip landing, and a 61-cent per passenger fee. the fall and baseball season, the purpose and fear fee would increase to 62 cents. see the schedule display here for the full five-year schedule. effective january 1st, 2022, landings will be assessed at $122.37 per landing. a pickup or drop-off. these operators also pay a percentage fee in an amount equal to seven% of gross revenues. the current landing fee in harbor. it is $118 and currently $114

per landings. i appreciate your time and consideration. that completes my presentation. >> thank you, dominic. commissioners, may i please have a motion. >> i so move. >> second. >> thank you. now let's open it up for public comment. we will open the phone line to take public comment on items 11 a for members of the public for joining us on the phone. we will provide instructions now. for anyone on the phone who would like to provide public comments. >> thank you, president brandon. at this time we will open the

queue for anyone on the phone who would like to make public comment on item 11 a. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. the system will let you know when the line is open. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments will be limited to three minutes per person. the cue is open. please dial star three if you wish to make public comment. >> thank you. do we have anyone on the phone? >> president brandon, at this time, there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> thank you. seeing no callers on the phone, public comment is closed. >> thank you, dominic, for the presentation. it was well laid out. i think the increase is reasonable and hopefully we can recruit some of our costs as much as i in support of the transportation, i think we have

to make it a fair proposition. it still continues to be a burden entire -- in terms of ridership for the ferry companies and i think, i do think that this is a fair proposition. i have no further questions and i in support of the resolution. >> thank you. >> commissioner gilman? >> thank you, dominic, for the report. i have no questions. >> thank you. commissioner burton? vice president adams?

>> okay. dominic, thank you again for your report. i too support this and understand why we need to do the increases and hopefully it won't be too much of a burden on our operators. carl, can we please have a roll call vote. >> president brandon? [ roll call ] >> the motion passes unanimously. resolution 2154 is adopted. next item, please. >> thank you. >> item 12 a is an informational presentation regarding the waterfront resilience program, early project to address life safety and disaster response.

>> good afternoon, president brandon, vice president adams, commissioners, director forbes and members of the public. my name is brad benson. i'm the port's waterfront resilience director. i'm here this afternoon with stephen rio who is the deputy director of engineering and project delivery. we are really happy to be here today to present an update on the embarcadero early projects. i wanted to start by thanking director forbes for your comments during your director's report. there has been significant work that has led up to this point. we have been engaged in deep risk assessment work over the past three years.

analysing that work with colleagues, including the department of emergency management, thinking about impacts to city disaster response and, finally, developing the projects that you will hear about today. it is a key milestone in the program that we are very eager to hear feedback from the public and from the commission on the work to date. next slide, please. we will do a brief overview of the risks facing the embarcadero waterfront because the projects that we will see today respond to those risks and we will talk a bit about some of the planning work that followed this work and we will describe a framework

that will help support decision-making, and then talk about next steps. next slide, please just as a brief reminder, we started the multi- hazard risk assessment in 2018. we concluded the multi- hazard risk assessment in september of 2020. next slide, please. this look at seismic and flood risks through 2100, we identified up to $30 billion in damage and disruption from combined seismic and flood risk by the end of the century and that is in today's dollars. this really speaks to the value in investing to avoid this damage and disruption. i won't dwell on the seismic risks that you see on the slide

because, later in the presentation, stephen rio will be talking about seismic and flood risks in each of the geographies along the northern waterfronts. next slide, please. we have also identified flood risk. there is a low-lying area around the ferry building that has current flood risks today. we are concerned about a very rare storm event, potentially affecting the embarcadero muni portal. the slide shows 1 foot of sea level rise with a 100 year flood in purple, with 1-2 feet of sea level rise. we expect, you know, more significant localized flooding along the embarcadero, particularly at low points

between two and 3 feet of sea level rise, widespread over topping of the entire waterfront and significant impacts to downtown san francisco. next slide, please. using the results of the multi- hazard risk assessment, the port partnered with the department of emergency management, and numerous other city and regional agencies to conduct a disaster response exercise, looking at in 1906 type of earthquake event, which is typical for these types of exercises. we were able, with the multi- hazard risk assessment, to present a pretty clear view of the kinds of damage that emergency response managers can expect. i think that lead to some very important learning about the existing plans that have been

drafted locally and regionally and how these might be updated to anticipate this type of damage. the exercise also confirmed the importance of the ports, in particular deep water burgers from removing people and supplies. the port will be on point in leading waterfront recovery, both on its headquarters and for the maintenance division at 50. we also heard about the importance of the embarcadero roadway for emergency response vehicles to be able to move around the city. next slide, please. this is a slide that depicts the various efforts that are ongoing in the waterfront resilience program. the army corps flood study and

covers the entire seven and a half miles of the port's waterfront we are focused on the segment in red, which is the focus of opposition a, the 2018 seawall earthquake safety mound. we are gaining further understanding about seismic vulnerability in the southern waterfront and we are trying to connect all of this work to other important work planning efforts and programs, including the waterfront plan update and the port's historic rehabilitation program. next slide, please. taking all of this work from the multi- hazard risk assessment, the findings from stakeholder engagement over the last two and

a half years and the disaster response exercise that i mentioned, the team took a deep dive over the last year, along the northern waterfront, looking at specific geographies, the risks that we see in those areas, the key assets and infrastructure at risk, and the consequences of damage to those assets and infrastructure to develop long-range adaptation strategies that can advance to the army corps study and help us in thinking about future coastal flood defences. as part of that effort, we also identified construction projects that can buy down risks now. those are the 23 embarcadero early projects that we will talk about today. we know that we have additional adaptation planning work to

pursue, particularly with city departments and the army corps of engineers, along with our regulatory partners, and in addition to things that we can build along the waterfront, we believe that there are a range of policies that could be adopted to further help reduce risk. next slide, please. it is really that geographic work that i just talked about that led to the identified -- identification of these embarcadero early projects. next slide, please. these 23 projects, the team is recommending advancing all of them as funding becomes available over the next 10 years or so. so the first step is identifying the most critical projects for early implementation, with a key focus on life safety and

improved emergency response. we have also developed one near-term flood defence project to address the flood risk that we spoke about in the ferry building area. next slide, please. in november of 2020, we presented to the port commission a framework to support decision-making. president brandon really led to the commission through a series of questions about this framework, which starts with a vision, principles, and goals. we talked about identifying those life safety and disaster response risks, as well as the projects that we have subsequently identified to address them. and then what the team did was apply evaluation criteria that were informed by community feedback to rank the projects.

[please standby for captioner switch]

>> and we've heard clearly from the public that they want us to pursue as many opportunities to improve the health and life along the waterfront, as

possible. and we used these criteria to rank the projects and we asked ourselves some key questions. are we focusing investments on the most important life safety and disaster response projects? is more analysis or planning needed? and that is true in that area of the geographic strategy that we'll talk about. are there other funding sources, such as public equity or private financing that can pay for improvements so that we can extend the reach of the improvements that we're making, and that leads to a clear question about partnerships. can we partner with city agencies who own infrastructure, you know, is there risk in these zones and

who would need to partner with the port? and do we have a long-term tenant who would have a lease extension or a development partner that we can partner with to leverage additional funding for these improvements. and then finally, and maybe most importantly, is investment prioritized for improvements that benefit the whole city? we want to make sure we have a citywide interest with these projects. next slide, please. so with that, i'm going to hand off the presentation to steve weil. >> thanks, brad. can you hear me? >> yes. >> okay.

great. good afternoon, president brandon, vice president adams, port director forbes, members of the public. i'm steve weil, deputy director of engineering, and as brad mentions, we identified 23 embarcadero projects on the map. they're distributed pretty equally across the embarcadero, and all of the projects are however, and the cost to deliver all of them exceed our funding. we have five projects in that

stretch through the development of geographic property and other potential sources of funding, and the next slides, i'll detail the air risks and projects. in south beach, seawall risk is not quite as high. the soils are better under the seawall, and as a result, it's more stable in earthquakes, and the risks of lateral spreading is generally low, except for a hotspot near mission creek. sea level risk rise here is

emerging. this is a high level of seawall among the embarcadero, and however, wave activity is also generally a bit more here. so in response to these risks, we've identified three projects with two moving into predesign. a retrofit on the wharves, a seawall earthquake stabilization for the hotspot near seals creek. it does not impact the ballpark which sits on modern deep foundations and improved soils. and i'd also point out a

coordinated project with the p.u.c. it is a critical water supply for the system. next slide. so the pier 24 through 28-1/2 earthquake safety projects, these are some of the oldest bulkheads of the project. they support a portion of the promenade and the multihazard risk assessment determined that the rock bed is fairly stable here, but these wharves are particularly vulnerable because of the way they were constructed. this project focuses on

retrofit safety. these are earthquake safety improvements until an earthquake safety prom is developed and implemented here. earthquake risks to the embarcadero is also high because of that seawall instability and liquefaction of the fill, and finally, this is the lowest lying area of the embarcadero and is at risk of flooding today. next slide. in response to these risks --

sorry. go back one slide. there we go. in response to these risks, we've identified seven projects with five moving into predesign. earthquake safety, retrofit of wall at peers 9 and 15, a project to improve the reliability of the port's headquarters and operations center, so the port can conduct response and recovery operations immediately after an earthquake with the city and region, an earthquake ferry and substructure, which i'll discuss more in a minute, and a retrofit between peers 5 and

22-1/2. next slide. so the ferry building, the cultural importance of this is singled out repeatedly during or stakeholder engagement, and the criticality of the area for earthquake evacuation transportation was emphasized during our city and regional disaster response exercise. the ferry wall and seawall substructure retrofit is focused on retrofitting the wall out to ensure that it can survive another 1906 earthquake, bringing in first responders and moving workers back to their homes. as part of the project, we'll build a state of the art analytical model.

while the early project is focused on earthquake reliability, we think there is an opportunity to build on future improvements that will help with this future lifting. next slide. northeast waterfront and fisherman's wharf risks including high earthquake risk of seawall instability and lateral spreading. in response to these risks, on the northeast waterfront, we've identified five potential early projects that will be informed

through the development of a resilient shoreline strategy between peers 19 and 41. peer 19 through 41 shoreline performance strategy includes real estate projects and short line opportunities that can be brought together to improve disaster response and earthquake safety across a broader area of the waterfront. this stretch includes the most historic stretch of finger piers and stretch of the embarcadero serving more than 350,000 customers. it focuses on improving disaster response and increasing coastal flood defenses and preserving historic resources.

next slide. and further into fisherman's wharf, we've identified five projects with three moving into predesign.

-- that allow a variety of next slide.

this is a conceptual draft of budget for planning work. projects are at an early state now and will be refined through predesign. estimates range from $60 billion to $230 billion. the pier 19 through 41 geographic strategy will build on this work to build on this zone by early 2023, and predesign will take place over

the next two years. this projects are less costly and will move more quickly. our recommendations will come out of predesign. next slide. in summary -- brad, you want to take this one? in summary, we are here for you today, providing these key considerations for your input. we intend to advance the early

projects into predesign, attract long-term tenants, and we'll be back in the future to update the commission as these projects advance and make recommendations and move things into final design and construction. and with that, brad and i conclude our presentation and are available for questions. thank you. >> thank you, steven and brett, for your presentation. we will open this up for public comment for item 12-a. jennica will be our operator and will provide instructions now for anyone who like to provide public comment. >> clerk: thank you, president

brandon. at this time, we will open the queue for anyone on the phone who would like to make public comment on item 12-a. please dial star, three if you wish to make public comment. the system will let you know when your line is open. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments will be limited to three minutes per person. the queue is now open. please dial star, three if you wish to make public comment. >> thank you, jennica. do we have anyone on the phone? >> clerk: president brandon, at this time, there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> thank you. seeing no callers on the phone, public comment is closed. commissioner gilman? >> sorry. [indiscernible] well, first of all, i want to thank staff for this comprehensive report.

waterfront [indiscernible] those were just my comments for staff. i know this is an informational item, and we'll be voting on it hopefully in january to move it forward, and i just wanted to say how important all of this is for the welfare of our city and the health and safety of the waterfront. that concludes my comments. >> thank you. commissioner woo ho? >> yeah. thank you, brad and steven. i know it's been a long

journey, but we keep hitting more and more milestones. i appreciate the strategic approach. it's been very detailed. i don't have any questions because i think more details will be coming as more information is coming over time. as noted, we don't have all funding in place, and you will keep us updated as we continue to find the sources of funding in order to accomplish this, but we have been very persistent under your leadership, director forbes, and even president brandon to securing funds where we can from sacramento and washington, in addition to some of the resources that we can generate from our own surplus, that we know that that's never going to

be the primary source of funding to address this. we believe that resiliency, particularly since we just suffered a major storm this weekend, we're reminded what nature can do over time, and we appreciate the priorities that you've listed. so i don't really have any questions related to how we're prioritizing, how we've thought about it, how it's laid out. i think it's very clear, and i applaud the efforts that you've made so far. thank you. >> thank you. vice president adams? >> yeah, brett and steve, excellent report. i think they hit it -- this thing is like a chapter in a book. they keep hitting it all the time, and i'm just excited about all the things,

methodical that has taken to go into this. i know this thing is going to be solid, and the citizens of san francisco are going to be well served, and i'm just waiting for more information, but you lay it out so much. i kind of scratch my head because i'm looking for more, but thank you, from all the commissioners, thank you. >> thank you, brad and steve, for this very detailed report. we've come a long way since 2018. i think you've done a great job explaining the initial

projects, and i want to agree with a lot of our constituents. i think that the ferry building area is very critical. i know that there are other projects that we may be able to do quickly, but i think with the local and regional impact that the ferry building has with the infrastructure and all of this going on around it is extremely important, so i do hope that we can keep that as a focus for future funding. so i guess my only question is -- it's not a question -- well, it is a question. once we're doing resiliency, we're doing seismic stability, and once we do the whole 7.5 miles, and i know this portion is just prop a funding and planning, but once we look at the entire waterfront, how are

we going to prioritize everything? is it going to be in the same manner that we did this? >> that's a great question, president brandon. you know, the team -- we had to start in the northern waterfront because of the bond and the need to identify projects with the bond funding. right now, we'll keep it moving into the southern waterfront area. there's been some good things done. you'll remember yslais creek study, so we'll be using that approach to identify different geographies in the southern waterfront, and then, we're

always looking for those other funding opportunities to advance those projects in the southern waterfront, and so we'll be back to the commission very -- you know, i would expect, by june of next year, to be able to report on the projects related to the southern waterfronts, including our ideas about which ones to advance for available funding sources, which can include things like fema has a predisaster mitigation program, some of our port projects may qualify for that, and we know that the commission wants to see solutions for the whole waterfront. >> thank you. and you have been great over the last four or five years in pointing us in the right direction for funding

opportunities, so i'm sure that you and your team are going to do that for the waterfront, and we look forward to you coming back in january, next year. >> to address that, i think the intention was to gain feedback from the commission today about the staff recommendations. we have the existing contract with ch2m and, you know, prior commission authorization, so we can use that vehicle to advance into the predesign steps that we have talked about. there are going to be cases where we need to come back to the commission and move into the design phase, so we'll be back as we move through predesign and the design phase to get additional information

from the commission. >> great. thank you. i really appreciate it. next item, please. >> clerk: item 13, informational appreciation on mission rock project construction updates, public art plan summary, and street rooms at seawall lot 337, bounded by china basin channel, third street, mission rock street, and san francisco bay. >> good afternoon, commissioners. phil williamson. in addition to a general construction and hiring update, you will hear a summary of the project's overall art plan, street room and sculptural

proposals. while approval by the commission for the r-plan is not a requirement, the team values your perspective and feedback on this highly advisable project element. likewise, over the last several months, the mission room team has engaged the community on details of the art plan, including a well received presentation at last week's southern advisory committee meeting. next slide, please. before inviting our next presenter to join this presentation, i'd like to take a few moments to describe the overall project. with phase one now an active construction site, the mission rock project represents more than 12 years of efforts led by the port commission with port and city staff and mission rock partners all working collaboratively. with construction having

commenced in 2020, phase one includes 537 units of rental housing, 199 of which will be affordable to renters making between 45 to 150% of the area median income. phase one also includes 500,000 square feet of commercial feet in buildings b and g. ground floor retail will be in all four buildings of phase one, and it includes infrastructure for district energy and nonpotable water needs. and finally, phase one will building out new streets and sidewalks in the inland portion of china basin park. [please stand by]

. >> moving over to parcel a, we're looking at an aerial shot of the canyon being formed out there. the steps have been poured out in the front right there on the corner where third street is the entry point for parcel a under neath all of this vertical processing for the d.e.s. system. the annex is at level six, so

really exciting. and parcel b over here, successful power crane erection happened about 1.5 weeks ago, so next steps that we'll see over the coming months, very similar to g, is the structural steel erection is set to begin in a couple of days here, and that will continue throughout the rest of the year and early into next year. what's not pictured here, i'm very proud we have a mothering room on-site, and i'll speak to this later, but in doing this, some of our workforce programming, we learned about the women and mothers to come and work on this site are

nursing, and now, they'll be able to do that. in addition, our bathroom trailers, which never sound like a big deal, but if you've ever been on a construction site and had to use the porta-potty, it's an adventure. next slide. so just getting into a little bit of what you'll have to look forward to in 2022, the china bichb inland park portion, this is a shot of where we've started to clear out some of our construction layout for the space to begin on that shoreline and inland portion, and then, parcel f coming onto start construction spring of next year, so really excited to see those things be underway. next slide. and our o.b.e. realm, we've done a lot of work through the

first two quarters of trend to our l.b.e. goals. to date, we've awarded 568 million. of that, the l.b.e. award is 68.6 million, and then, those that we have internally approved to be awarded and what we have in our pipeline, we're at 100.3 million or about 17%. so really proud of these numbers. we're still doing a lot of work to make sure we create new opportunities to bring new l.b.e.s, and in the second quarter alone, we saw eight new companies join the project site. so this table here on the right side of your green, the companies that are in green are companies that are new l.b.e.s to the project as of second quarter 2021. and of those, you'll see that

they're majority minority owned, which has been a very big focus throughout this, the project time as well as creating opportunities for women owned l.b.e.s. and as far as our minority and women owned l.b.e.s, we have a combined span of 44.64 million, and when we tease that out further for the minority owned l.b.e.s, it's 26.4, and for the women owned, 19.6 million. next slide. so part of this greater effort is to create opportunities for diversefying our workforce, too. very proud of what we were able

to accomplish. in five weeks, 16 women were taking on new skills and learning how to not only be part of a crew on a construction site but also learning about the general building trades and where their opportunities for them to flourish or even where they started out here. in the training, we offered wraparound services. there were folks that may have needed child care. we provided transportation stipends as well as food stipends to supplement needs for groceries and whatnot. in addition to that, we made sure that union membership fees

and all of these [indiscernible] to in efforts to make this as easy as possible. that said, in outcomes, and president brandon, you were able to join us for this celebration, we which appreciated, 16 women graduated. the majority of them were sponsored for immediate apprenticeship on mission rom, and they were able to on board for their apprenticeship directly on the site. there were others that hadn't started yet for the project, so

we were working with our general contractors on-site for apprenticeships on other sites with the understanding and intention that they would be joining mission rock as soon as that trade begins to start their work on-site. so we have a host of women entering the carpentry field, operating engineers, we have scrappers, laborers, tapers, just very exciting, and i was able to see so many of them walking the site, doing their job. you can see the happiness, and they evidently feel very empowered by the opportunity. next slide. so these are the faces of our 16 mission rock academy

graduates, first cohort, and won't be our last. very excited to present these women, and as you make your way out from the city to visit our site, keep your eye out for them, and yeah, it's really brought a great sense of energy for us and for those working on the projects. next slide. i'm going to skip this one because i already talked about it. and i think that's the end of my section, so i'm going to hand it over to my colleague. >> thank you. good evening, president brandon, vice president adams, commissioners. i'm [indiscernible] for mission rock public spaces and place making projects. today, we're presenting the commission our progress with mission rock public art plan. we've put together a draft plan currently under review to present our goals and put forward a plan for prioritizing

mission rock public spaces along with outlining the support that will be in place throughout the project. our mission for public art will set the function for our approach to [indiscernible] explicitly, mission rock's public art program will engage the district. apologies. next slide. there we go. our mission for public art is a public arts program that will support and engaging inclusive

districts [indiscernible] next slide, please. we have four primary goals for public art in mission rock. we want to -- we want art to enhance our public realm, our parks and public spaces. we want to use art as a platform to connect with our stakeholders, residents, and arts community as a whole, and we believe that art and beauty should be experienced daily by everybody. next slide, please. in our plan, we've identified five topics areas, opportunities to frame the types of stories we want to stell -- tell via public art. similarly, the working waterfront tells our history.

history is inherited. we believe we can use art to explore the history of the peoples of this place, the richness and diversity of the locate the communities, and lastly, a place for play and celebration. we believe that art can just be beautiful and fun, and today, the waterfront is a place for a plethora of opportunities. next slide, please. how are we going to prioritize these projects? key additional factors are definitely feedback from community advisory communities, specifically the s.i.c., along with our additional outreach we engaged with the community, along with relevant regulatory

agencies. we want to use our platform artists from underrepresented communities, and we want to engage the widest audience as possible. in conjunction to -- next slide, please. so the process overall during each phase submittal process, the mission rock partners proposed an overall budget solicitation method for securing funds during each phase. we'll [indiscernible] to both the s.a.c. and [indiscernible] and lastly, approval, the port director will amove all -- approve all permanent artworks of bcdc.

next slide. so the question of where and what, unfortunately, i can't expand on all the opportunities throughout the mission rock district, but there's so many great opportunities, and in the draft report that the staff is reviewing, we identify potential properties for each location. one location we identified was in our streets, specifically on our shared streets and specifically on maya angelou lane. [indiscernible] encourage people to use their streets to linger, to play, so additionally specified within mission rock designed controls, there are areas called street rooms. these spaces were intended to create intimate public areas for gatherings via unique seating, planting, and paving materials. next slide, please.

so while the design controlled street room's controls were originally very modest, we wanted -- we wanted the street rooms to be a little more bold. almost a year ago, we issued a design competition where the main goal was soliciting great design from great designers to create dynamic social spaces for people to interact and get a [indiscernible] along with students to enter the competition and help vet the competition, we created a commission of voices of people in the area who have long contributed to the mission rock project. so before we show the projects themselves, i -- we -- i wanted to show the [indiscernible] themselves so here are our five winning designers. we're excited by this cohort of artists from the bay area, new

york, los angeles, shanghai, and shelley. these designs are still in progress and not yet quite finalized. so our first project, i would say was the most universally well received proposal by daina king. it is a bronze statue in the likeness of tony stone. [indiscernible] was so inspired -- about a year ago, we submitted to change the street name, and she knew well the story of tony stone, knows that folks don't know her legacy in the area, and was inspired by the story to propose a sculpture. roughly, the sculpture will be at her height and will be flanked by stadium seating. we're really excited.

daina king [indiscernible] next up is a project called urban table by a design fabrication firm based in los angeles. it's to create a large communal space. a lot of life would happen around this table. it's robust, easily maintained, and we think it's a balance with some of our more bold pieces. next slide, please. and speaking of bold pieces, this is also another universally well loved and appreciated project from the street art advisory committee. folks love the design and boldness of it, and this design

team based in shanghai and chile, is a piece of playfulness. it's very modern by whimsical, and the purpose is to bring indoor space and homes to outdoor space. next is an architecture firm based in new york city. the rocky sculpture is reflected to be stone popping up from the streets. next slide, please. and lastly, we make sure

there's a fixed seated bench, and there will be moveable tables and chairs coming in and out of this piece. it's a contrary greenhouse structure with a slight tint of the past. we saw this piece as an easy place for people to socialize throughout the day. next slide, please. we want to affirm that we'll have some upcoming art projects for the art committee and port commission. the s.f.c. and the port commission were presenting these artworks for comment. next slide, and for the last slide, i'm going to hand this off to fran.

>> my name is fran weld. i'm senior vice president of the giants and on the executive committee for mission rock partners and just wanted to close out today with a really big set of thank yous to our incredible team for pulling off really a remarkable year. i think it's natural in december to sort of look back on where we've been in the last 12 months, and as you saw from our two presenters today and what phil highlighted what we have around the corner, we're really excited for mission rock. each of you, over the last year, has had a chance to participate in celebrating the milestones that we've collectively achieved and honored with the mayor and our amazing partners at the unions, mission hiring hall, city

build, these sorts of programs and achievements take an incredible amount of coordination and effort, so just really want to say thank you to each of the commissioners for your support in moments where we're acknowledging our team. i also want to thank visa, our anchor tenant, for their remarkable demonstration of commitment to san francisco, to our waterfront, and to the jobs that they're going to be bringing to the port in just a few short years, and we all know that they have really been remarkably steadfast throughout covid for this project and in helping us keep mission rock moving, so for that, we're really grateful. and while you often get reports on sort of our financial and contractual obligations, also, i think it's equally important to highlight, really, the health of the partnership and how things are going between

mission rock partners and the port and city and sort of our day-to-day workings together to our general contractors, self-initiating, to rebuilding together, where they built a program down in the bayview, and the collaborative kind of approach that we're taking together. i think some of the things that we're most proud of don't make it into reports and checklists, so i really wanted to, in particular, call out director forbes for your leadership in not only hiring the best staff for the city but also your commitment to working with city agencies. i'm not sure we talk about this concept of partnering across the agencies, but director forbes has taken an amazing leadership role for all of these city agencies for whom

we're building infrastructure, solving issues as they come up and doing it in a fun and collaborative way, and we just couldn't be happier, really, with how things are going with the partnership. i think our staffs are working together at an all time high, which is nice to see as we're working together. really just want to end on a positive note for the whole team, and look forward to what's to come for next year, so thank you. >> and i'll just step back in real quickly to just wrap up and thank you, commissioners, for hearing us tonight. that concludes your presentation. we're available, if you have any questions, and i also want to mention paul from port staff is on the line to help out with any questions.

>> thank you so much. we're now going to open up public comment for item 13-a. jennica will be our operator and will provide instructions for anyone who would like to provide public comment. >> operator: thank you, president brandon. at this time, we will open the queue for anyone on the phone who would like to make public comment on item 13-a. please dial star, three, if you wish to make public comment. the system will let you know when your line is open. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments will be limited to three minutes per person. the queue is now open. please dial star, three if you wish to make public comment. >> thank you, jennica. do we have anyone on the line? >> operator: president brandon, at this time, there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> thank you.

seeing no callers on the phone, public comment is closed. commissioner woo ho? >> thank you, phil and team and fran for these great reports. it's especially positive and helps us to end the year on a really positive note, particularly with such a project like mission rock, which we're all looking forward to coming to its conclusion. appreciate the update on the construction side, and i think the report is amazing, imaginative, and i can't wait to see this being executed to make this one of the most exciting new neighborhoods we're going to bring to the city of san francisco. so i really don't have any specific questions, just appreciate the update and applaud again, particularly as fran noted, the great partnership that's occurred

with the teams. i'm very, very encouraged by everything. >> thank you. commissioner gilman? >> thank you. i want to thank fran and her staff for this exciting update. i have no other questions, either. i do think it's a great way to end the year on a high note. i think i was fortunate enough to witness the graduation of the citybuild class, and i want to commend mission rock and their g.c. and the giants for having the first ever women only class. especially for citybuild, it's quite a feat, and coming

forward with your commitments and that class, and i'm looking at the public art how that's integrated in sort of the overall equity program. i will just say this, for the public record, it is a model that anyone else should be looking forward as an example of what our expectations are for community benefit and to ensure access to contracting and just having a seat at the table, so i just want to commend you, fran, and your team for all of your work. i look forward to hearing more and doing more at other phases of the development. thank you. >> thank you. vice president adams? >> as -- as everyone on the team was talking, i'm looking out my window, and i can see

the project right from where i live, and it's just -- it's just awesome. the gravity of the moment, this is a world class project. just -- i'm just -- i'm in awe listening to the presentation, the richness that this project is bringing to bear and putting forth, and i've always said that the giants, if anyone wanted to know how to present and how to make an impact in the city, follow what the giants do. they have a winning recipe, and i want to thank president brandon for cracking the whip and her vision for the 22, 23 years she's been on this commission, and just incorporating the people of color. commissioner gilman said about

the women's only class, the trades. you have a way of bringing everybody under the tent, and this is just a huge contribution that generations to come will look back and understand all the people involved, and not just people in san francisco but all over the world will benefit from this world class project. when i look back, this is an effort that's second to none, and it's an honor to be a commissioner and just be a part of this magnificent project, so thank you, madam president. >> thank you, again, everyone. i really appreciate the presentation, and i echo my fellow commissioners and all

their comments, especially this year. we had the shortest meeting ever this past quarter because you guys are doing such a phenomenal job in all areas. so i just want to congratulate you and thank you. i think the graduation and the women's academy was great. just to see the young ladies and the excitement in their voices and eyes, and knowing that they had jobs. as soon as they graduated, they were placed and they had jobs. that is phenomenal, and you're doing amazing strides, and so i really appreciate all that you're doing, and this art, i just love it. i love that you did the competition, and you brought out young emerging artists, and, you know, looked outside

the box and came up with great concepts. so i just want to thank you again for everything. i just have one question, and i think this is for elaine. and so elaine, i was wondering why -- i know this is a new project, and i know there's going to be a lot of art, so i'm wondering why the decision is not coming back to the commission, but the executive director is going to approve everything? and i don't have a problem with that, i'm just hoping that you make sure to come back to commission and the citizen advisory committee just so someone has a minor revision, so that was my question or recommendation. >> absolutely. phil, do you want to talk about the reason for the recommendation, and i will talk about why i went with your

recommendation on director approval? sure. thanks for the -- approval? >> sure. thanks for the question, and thanks for the direction, director. the one place that does have some jurisdiction is the bcdc permit for work within their jurisdiction, and they do get to see what we're proposing and weigh-in on it, so we will definitely do that. then, the other parts of the project, specifically the parts that are in port jurisdiction, we thought a good way to go would be to get community input through the s.a.c. and other community avenues, bring everything to the port commission for feedback, and give elaine authority through the documents to approve the actual elements after all that other outreach has been done, so that's what we thought was the most efficient and

expeditious way to move the project forward. >> thank you so much for providing that explanation, phil. i thought that context would be helpful. so president brandon, what you're recommending is exactly what will happen. we'll get that s.a.c. input, we'll get feedback, and i'll be making a decision based on that input and feedback. >> okay. and hopefully that's in writing somewhere because god fore bid you're not the port director, but there's another port director. just want to make sure that there is community input before a final decision is made. >> no, this is an info item. we should think about making sure how that procedure is documented internally. >> agreed. >> thank you, everyone. congratulations on all the great work. i'm looking forward to 2022 and future successes. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you so much.

>> thank you. >> okay. carl, next item, please. >> clerk: item 14 is new business. >> commissioners, is there any new business? hearing none, i just want to wish everybody very happy holidays and a really prosperous new year. this is going to be a challenging yet very, very grateful year, and looking forward to seeing everyone in the new year and wishing everybody happy holidays. >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays to everyone. >> happy holidays. thank you. >> happy holidays. >> thank you. can i have a motion to adjourn, please? >> motion to adjourn. >> i second. >> okay. we have a motion and a second. carl, can we please have a roll call vote. [roll call]

>> the meeting is adjourned at 5:05 p.m. happy holidays, everyone. >> happy holidays, everyone. happy new year. >> great meeting, everyone. >> thank you. >> thank you, everyone. >> bye-bye. -
