5:29 am
serve a threat to the officers and bystanders feared for their lives and the safety of the community. the officers responded decisively by discharging their weapons in an effort to neutralize the imminent threat posed by the armed individual. the officer's actions were justified and aligned with their training. the individual's possession of a loaded firearm and their refusal to comply with command placed the officers and others at an immediate risk of harm in line with established protocols. the officers utilized lethal force as a last resort to protect themselves and the public from potential harm. it is worth noting that their actions were consistent with the legal and ethical standards governing the use of force by law enforcement officers. i would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the officers involved in this incident. their dedication, professionalism and courage in the face of adversity served as a testament to the high standards upheld by sfpd in
5:30 am
situations such as this. the safety of officers and the general public is paramount. the officers involved in this incident demonstrated exceptional judgment and adherence to established protocols. their actions serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement officers daily and underscore the importance of ongoing training and support. thank you, sfpd and the officers who were involved in this incident. thank you. caller for your comments. next caller. here with us. yeah, let's get out. we can hear you. hello you can hear you. hello?
5:31 am
we can hear you. caller go ahead with your comment. okay my comment is i just i'm disappointed when i heard some of the language being used by the police in that video. i related to that person and full disclosure that when for that man who was killed is my stepdaughter. so that's my family that got killed. so all i'm saying is i didn't see any indication of anybody trying to de-escalate anything. i didn't see any indicator from that cop that his intent when he got out of that car with that gun was to shoot him. when you say to somebody, i'm going to shoot you in the head, i'm going to shoot
5:32 am
you in the head. you want to kill him? so that's all i'll say. that's what i want to say. so they can talk all the stuff they want. but. but this did not need to happen. those kids did not need to lose their father. they did not. and what happened to this program where you guys were supposed to be sending other people out when people had mental illness? what happened to that? because that was more appropriate in that particular moment than pulling out a gun and killing a man. thank you for your comment. thank you for your comment. caller and we really sorry for your loss. next caller . and this is gloria barry from district ten. first, i want to say i think it's pretty sick that first caller took so much joy in tragedy. and then i want

care for. we were happy to welcomedential 10 acres of parks into the portfolio in the mission bay neighborhood. i especially want to thank david (indiscernible) planning and environment and commissioners who worked so diligently to see the transfer. these are beautiful parks and transformational. the port is prioritizing the waterfront making more inclusive which includes mentoring young high school students. we are all impressed with the summer internship program. our team put in time to make sure there are meaningful opportunities for our students. we hosted 21 interns across our divisions. we also had for the first time our maritime intern cohort. they went to various maritime places, learned key
5:42 am
skills, and learned a lot about the maritime industry. at the end they were able to showcase their learnings in a formal presentation and it was a 6 week program. it was very very exciting and our maritime tenants participated to have pathways to the maritime trades and also that they have pathways in general in their future to whatever their career path is. now turning to resilience. we have brad benson the director of waterfront resilience program here today to talk about the army corp study, and carlos will be representing the authorization for our contract award for pier 50 for earthquake improvements. this is a exciting time to both talk about the flood study and our resilience program related to seismic concerns. i want to also thank the team for hosting generation climate with youth workforce and enterprise summit this past friday. this was a

5:45 am
that ferry, tourism is back, at least local tourism. families who were so excited to be pulling into san francisco, hearing stories how the bridges were built before world war 2 from the captain of the ferry built. i want to say embarcadero is back, ferry building was alive and jammed and hard to get lunch today so excited for us and staff we get to share this incredible waterfront with everyone. i'm really excited about apec coming as well. i have hopefully not unrealistic idea i want to throw out about the maritime cohort that just happened. i hope we can maybe reconvene the cohort. it would be great if we convince the partners add fleet week that maybe those young people could participate or go to special activities or maybe be able to really take advantage of fleet week coming if they have a maritime interest. it was a way of maybe connecting that to their experience and thank you for your report.
5:46 am
>> thank you. commissioner. >> so, yeah--the port is doing really well. i was talking to president brandon how summer is all most over and just got started with entertainment. i was with you that friday and it was great seeing the people out and entertainment was great. i'm still very partial to entertainment. it is my blood. the activation with entertainment is what brings the economy back and i'm glad that they are spending the money bringing good talent for that. as you could see across the street there are empty storefronts so we have to compete against them to fill our store fronts and our restaurants so we still got a lot of work to do, but i'm glad we are using entertainment to bring people back. great report and i wish we had another month of
5:47 am
summer. >> thank you. thank you so mump for the report. it is wonderful to hear how the waterfront is activated, the northern and southern waterfront, how so many people are enjoying the waterfront and i want to thank the staff for all the hard work you are doing to create a safe space for visitors and for residents to come and enjoy the waterfront. i think we are doing a phenomenal job helping the city to-with the economic recovery and success of the city, so i really appreciate everyone. i too thank you elaine for including the staff, because they are doing the heavy lifting and hard work and so, it is just great to hear about all of these activities at the waterfront and july was so busy it sounds like it will be-just as busy august through november, so still a lot of work to do. the port
5:48 am
is activating. thank you elaine. carmel, next item, please. >> item 7a, informational presentation to consider and possible action to approve the amended port municipal debt policy and that is resolution 2338. >> good afternoon commissioners. inate, deputy director finance administration. by way of background, the debt policy was first issued in 2009 and amended in 2016. the reason we are here today is because part of the policy is every 5 years we reaffirm or amend that policy. i should have been here in 2021. we were busy with covid and catching up now, so that is what is driving the
5:49 am
visit today. overall the policy just discusses how we issue and manage debt. it talks about some of the structuring considerations, how we trade risk versus borrowing, how we maintain with the (indiscernible) we issue debt to support the strategic plan, water land use plan and 10 year capital plan. one thing in the staff report is a error i wanted to point out at the moment, reference in the staff report that the race equity action plan is also a plan that could be used to use dent dbt to support that plan. that should not have been included in the staff report because it is redundant. the race equity action plan is part of the strategic plan, and so calling out wasn't necessary, it is already there. that was a staff report error. i are apologize for that. lastly, i wanted to call out in developing this plan originally as well as the current
5:50 am
amendment in front of you, we did work with the city attorney office and office of public finance. so, to get to the meat of what is changing and honesty, there isn't a lot of substuative changes here. this is just meeting the 5 year obligation to reaffirm the policy. the first has do with fcc rule, rule 15c212, a whole list of events that if they occur we have to tell bond holders they have. if we miss a debt service payment or obligation somewhere under our debt cuv nns we have to tell people that happened. in 20 i think 19, the fcc added two more events to that list, so now we need to update our list so it matches what the scc list is. those two additional items are fairly broad. the original 14 events were very specific to bonds, to revenue bonds issued. the last two have to
5:51 am
do with more-broader events that might indicate any form of financial difficulties we are supposed to disclose that to bond holders and enter into any other financial obligations that may effect the bond holders we have to tell them too. argue that those concepts were something we would have communicated to bond holders but the scc wanted to be explicit. the other is miner terminology update, what i caused financial advisor is now called municipal advisor. all the other changes are about structuring the document to make it more accessible. still not as accessible as it could be, but it used to be a very academic tone of terms and conditions i think we made a little more accessible. so, that's really the changes that we are going through and fairly miner. i thought i reflect for a moment on the deblt
5:52 am
we have. the table you are looking at is the active debt that is paid for by the port. we have other debt, but i want to focus on this first. so, these 5 debt instruments are the debt that we pay through our own budget. when you approve our budget we are paying off this debt. the total original issuance is $85 million roughly. today we over time paid those down. today that balance is a little under $70 million. that is what we really consider port debt. we also are involved where the city issues go bonds and the city pays the debt service but we manage the proceeds like the resilience program. there is hundred million roughly of go bonds issued to finance resilience so those aret noour debt portfolio but very much involveped in that
5:53 am
debt. there aortcategory of special tax district debt specifically for mission rock with a independent entity, a special tax district that issues the debt, pays it off, does not flow through our budget but we are involved in the issuance, management and use of proceeds of the debt, but they are separate. rating agencies dont look at that debt as our portfolio. with that, that concludes my presentation and happy to take any questions you have. >> thank you naet. commissioners, is there a motion? >> i so move. >> second. >> thank you. let's open up for public comment. any public comment in the room? seeing none, corey do we have anyone on the phone? >> for callers who wish to comment on this item, please dial star 3 to raise your hand to comment. at this time, there is no one on the
5:54 am
phone wishing to comment on this item. >> thank you. commissioner gilman. >> i have no questions. thanks for the report. >> commissioner lee. >> i have no questions at all really about this. maybe just one. when this debt service was $84 million, basically it comes out of whatever rent incomes we generate from maritime, anything that goes into paying this, correct? >> that is correct. the $84 million is the loan amounts. how much we borrowed. the annual payment is closer to $6 million a year. but you are right, that is a expense that gets paid out. we bring in rents, pay salaries and all kinds of things and debt service is a line item. >> when we are short on rent or we have writing off rent it effects that. we still have to pay the $6 million a year? >> absolutely. >> okay. thank you.
5:55 am
>> commissioner harrington. >> thank you. a comment and couple questions. we had this discussion a lot in different places how much debt you take on because it is a fixed cost when there are issues or any kind of uncertainty it is hard to have a large fixed cost. rating agencies in my experience have actually been more interested to make sure you maintain your assets and have a huge amount-there is a limit to how much fixed cost and debt you should have. they are often more interested in the fact you are fixing the system even if issuing debt to do it. it isn't the goal, but when i was in charge of the water department we went from having maybe 15 percent of the budget debt to 50 percent because we rebuilt the water system. 3 and $3 and a half billion you can't take out of rent in a year so interesting trade-off to make. a couple questions. when is the next time or what plans for
5:56 am
future issuance of debt? do you have any? >> i was hoping to refinance. we have certificates of participation and revenue bonds that are callable in the next 12 months. we could refinance those and perhaps lower the $6 million annual payment. the market has gone (indiscernible) likelihood of that being a economic refunding is pretty low at the moment but we keep a eye on it, we use municipal advisors to help us watch for trends there, but i don't foresee anything changing on the port active debt portfolio. we are in process of or considering another special tax district issuance in the future, but the timing of that is still under consideration and then obviously the go authorization of $450 million only issued a hundred million of that. we just did
5:57 am
another-the second $50 million of the hundred million issued was fairly recent so not aware of near term plans to issue a additional traunch. as we get into more hard cost and design the burn rate of the funds will increase. >> makes sense. just a-page 11, the whole policy sounds fine. it sound very familiar. on page 11-able to issue negotiated or competitive or private placement of debt. is there any kind preference-my preference is competitive, not negotiated. is there a spoken preference or just see what happens when it comes up? and, it is mostly see what happens when it comes up. i have been actively involved in two, and both were negotiated, but we ask our municipal
5:58 am
advisors what path they think gets to the best interest cost and that tends to be the-i think our name in the credit market does not command what a competitive sale might, so we ends up in the negotiated market. >> thank you. >> thank you so much for the report. i think most of my questions have been answered so thank you so much for a great report. we have a motion and a second. all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? the motion passes unanimously. resolution 2338 is adopted. carmel, next item. >> 8a, informational presentation on the port's maritime portfolio. callers who wish to comment on this item, dial star 3 to raise your hand to comment. >> good afternoon president brandon, commissioners,
5:59 am
director forbes, members of the public. deputy director of maritime joined today by dominic (indiscernible) assistant deputy director and al vin and maritime staff. this is a informational presentation on the port maritime portfolio. i'll provide a brief overview of our business port folio and all we do, and touch on some of our maritime strategic objectives throughout. overview of our strategic plan, our division guided by the bullet points here. cargo maximizing cargo opportunities. evaluate facilities to support the maritime expanding cruise business,b identify opportunities for revitalizing the ship yard. pier (indiscernible) 8396 and back lands pursuing federal and state grants to
6:00 am
investigate site improvements, the commercial fishing industry, preserve and enhance commercial fishing and water transportation expanding the port water transit system and promotion of water transit. as noted in the staff report, there are subcomponents to the strategic plan which i'll speak on throughout the presentation. for the next slide, this is our maritime revenues by industry. the port san francisco is one of the home to one of the most diverse maritime portfolios in the nation. you can see industries include cargo, cruise, execution, commercial fishing, recreational marina at south beach harbor. this slide again provides just a general overview of the revenues with 50 percent of the revenues being made up by our cargo and cruise portfolio. there are multiple factors that contribute to the
6:01 am
make-up of the revenues. for example, we have our tariff rates, parameter rates, revenue sharing in the terminal management agreements and percentage rents. in addition to those, we also have the (indiscernible) revenues that are generated at some of our maritime facilities and are those are captured in the revenues as well. we have strong fiscal year. fiscal year 2023. i believe we excluded south beach harbor. we were approximately $6 million higher then our fiscal year 18 and 19, so exciting year for us in fiscal year 2023, a lot driven by cruise. looking at cruise, it was a very strong year for us. we achieved records in both cruise calls and passenger counts on the fiscal year. 110 cruise calls. around 391 thousand
6:02 am
passengers transited through the cruise terminal. $7.3 million in passenger revenue. that is per passenger charge set through the tariff. the strong year attributed to partnership with the various cruise lines. specifically with carnival and princess, both who home port out of san francisco. i like to acknowledge the (indiscernible) metro cruise and other stakeholders who contributed to making san francisco a premier port. cruise port and city. additionally, thank you to our pier 50 maintenance staff. they do a great job keeping the (indiscernible) in addition to the cruise, as mentioned in the previous slide, events are also held at the cruise terminal to sep lment revenues when cruise ships are not in port. happy to report fiscal year
6:03 am
23 we saw approximately 27 percent increase in both events and revenues, so we still are not where we were pre-pandemic as relates to events but still continue to trend upwards. some of our near term objectives for the cruise operations as we continue to experience growth in this business. we want to continue to remain compliant with california resource board regulations. again, we only have one lectifyed (indiscernible) so we are working to analyze and identify viable secondary facility for cruise calls in the southern waterfront. with focus on a facility that can accommodate home port cruise operation. pier 27 approaching the 10 year anniversary. it is imperative we address necessary capital improvements to insure
6:04 am
that the facility continues to function as a world class terminal. i'll note that our cruise terminal operators, metro cruise recently worked with consultants to identify operational efficiencies and enhancements at both pier 27 and pier 35, so we look forward working with metro and implementing some of those recommendations. for cargo, our primary cargo operations include the importing and are exporting of autos as pier 80 and also dry bulk import at piers 92-94, the two largest are (indiscernible) (indiscernible) speaker to the pier 80 cargo operations, we had a stronger year. 40 percent increase in
6:05 am
auto volume. still lower then the previous highs, but 29 thousand units. in addition to the 29 thousand units, we had 15 percent of those units on the import side which is rare for us so that was good to see. there was congestion issues at ports along the west code so (indiscernible) strong to pivot and accommodate the autos to the new fiscal year. we had a couple import vessels as well. on the dry bulk side, primarily import raw materials used for production of concrete. serve the construction industry here in the bay area. those imports consist of sand and aggregate and go to the concrete batch plants which is crucial to reducing truck trips in the local community and in the region and 95 percent
6:06 am
of the materials imported into those facilities are-stay within the concrete batch cluster and moved into the city for construction. we did have a decrease envolumes around 30 percent on the dry bulk. a lot is attributed to decrease in construction activity here in the bay area. historically those volumes do flux wait, however on the revenue side we were slight dip, but nothing too far off of where we historically operate. near term cargo objectives, pier 80 facility for cargo opportunities. this past month we had a successful project cargo operation at the terminal. around just shy of 400 metric tons of fiber optic cable. this is the first time in maybe 8 years we had a project cargo operation at the
6:07 am
facility, so again, thank you to (indiscernible) iowu and for their work in making it a successful operation and we hope to attract other cargoes like this cable operation we had last month. we have staff attending a conference in houston next month and we will again be working to promote the port. additionally, capital improvements, we had recent calstow award. some thof funds will focus on installing the new fender system, repairing subsidence and drainage issues and activate parcels at the facility for other maritime uses, such as (indiscernible) a high performance yacht race on the bay. pier 92, we are in the early stages of negotiating a new lease with the dry bulk operator martin marietta. there may be change to the use
6:08 am
at piers 94, but we are in the early stages of having those discussions with that operator. turning to the ship yard, some of the current objectives there-believe the commission is aware we went live with dry dock rfp two months ago. we received one bid that satisfied our requirements in the dry dock r if rks o. we are early stages of negotiating with that party. additionally, we continue to create leasing opportunities that attract light maritime industrial uses, for example silverado. they improved select parcels and they will look to build out a vessel disposal or retrieval and disposal operation at those sites, and we continue to use the facility for long-term and interim birthing. current interim uses, we have a fueling site for the zero
6:09 am
emission ferry sea change. first of its kind. it is under going trials but we did have the first successful fueling operation about a month ago and also in the process of negotiating a new lease with royal automotive services, which is high end vehicles for storage. moving to fisherman wharf and high street harbor. i want to highlight the retail program. the last year of the commission approved the program being a permanent program so crab season despite delays but when it did come online, a very successful program and excited for the pier 45 unsoliced proposal. focus as it relates to capital improvement in, procurement of a new
6:10 am
ice machine, reactivation of the fuel dock and reactionivation of (indiscernible) i think the last commission meeting we heard from the commercial fishing fleet, these are essential, ice, fuel and infrastructure so we have projects teed up considered for advancing or replacing the dated ice machine, react ivating the fuel dock and (indiscernible) provide public access to retail fish shelves and also add additional water taxi landing. other areas of focus improve essential infrastructure. at the last commission meeting there was approval to go to bid for construction projects. appreciate the support there. we are looking at marina management program. always working to improve the harbor safety and security and soon reestablish fisherman's wharf advisory group.
6:11 am
excursion and water transit, operations have come back online post pandemic and speaking to the red and white and blue and gold around 80 percent pre-pandemic level so good to see. some focus has been restoring our public landing locations damaged during the 2023 storms so that is pier 1 and a half, pier 52, both of which are public launches, but also utilized by our water taxi operator. we have been working with port staff to refresh our signage at port operated landing locations for both the water taxi operators and excurgz operators and continue to collaborate with our operators to promote water transit. one thing i will note roughly two months ago we were informed by tide line marine that they
6:12 am
will be discontinuing operations for along the water and to my private ferry service so that was unfortunate, but coming behind that f water taxi informed they procured a larger and faster vessel that they will be deploying on the e water for along the water transit and across the bay transit as well. south beach harbor. south beach harbor, like to note we recently promoted (indiscernible) to harbor master. he is leading a amazing team down there. always exciting to be at south beach harbor. great location but an amazing environment being around that team. in addition to manage the marina, coordination with the san francisco giants, maintain the south beach harbor playground and insure the public promenade is well kept.
6:13 am
it is 700 acre recreational marina so a lot of activity. capital improvalments the past year employed big belly trash cans which has been amazing in containing trash and there is other benefits to it as well. marina dredging, the harbor has not been dredged over 20 years so that is something that we are focusing on this year and we hope to start our dredge operations within the next month. again, we are focusing on harbor security and safety and infrastructure improvements. as far as recreational activities, i want to highlight we have multiple excursion operators from south beach harbor and visit from other areas on the bay. also spin out fitness, this is mr. (indiscernible) believed he approached
6:14 am
the port commission maybe 2, 3 years ago during the public comment, about we were able to work with him to get a lease in place. i think at the time we executed that lease he may have had two bikes thin program. spoke with him a couple weeks ago and the business has grown to 30 bikes. exciting to see his business grow and to see all the water recreation at south beach harbor. we have a sf brew boat which brought a lot of foot traffic to the harbor and of interest as well. moving to equity, so we in maritime continue to stay focused in trying to advance the ports race equity goals and bringing youth and all interested in down to the wonderful port. happy to report on the south beach harbor youth
6:15 am
sailing program in 2021 we started this program with just two students and it was collaboration between boys and girls club, district 10 visitation valley, south beach harbor youth sailing and terminal operator at pier 80. since that first session, we now in the past summer session the sponsorships have grown up to 6 sponsorships, so that was good to see. we also have sail gp and inspire program at pier 80, so that was a base camp where they welcomed students down to their base camp to bring about education to kids, to inform kids on what the program has to offer, welcome diverse and different individuals to the waterfront and so that's the second year of inspire program and we are already
6:16 am
working on year 3 for next year. rising tides, director forbes touched on this in her executive report, but the rising tides program, this was our inaugural year that concluded with maritime career fair and open house. these are students. they started at the cal maritime academy. engage with all the maritime tenants at that open house so thank the tenants red and white, blue and gold, (indiscernible) carnival cruise, the bar pilots, san francisco bar pilots, bay delta, city cruises and also like to recognize tiffany taten for all her hard work putting this program together. i think it was 2019 when she and i discussed this
6:17 am
idea and she took it and ran with it and it was an amazing program and thank you to the divisions that stepped in and supported the program. in closing, there is other things we are involved in in the maritime division whether supporting fleet week, forth of july, new year's eve and maritime day so i like to recognize all the maritime staff who are here in attendance and watching virtually. appreciate the hard work and also to mike martin and director forbes as well for their support. with that, i'll take any questions that you may have. >> thank you andre, great report. any public comment in the room? seeing none, corey is there anyone on the phone? >> at this time there
6:18 am
is no one on the phone wishing to comment. >> thank you. commissioner lee. >> great report. i know maritime has a lot of assets. my question, when you say you are looking at reactivating the fuel dock and ice machine, things like that, do you have a time line? did you set a goal? >> we have project starters in place for the ice machine. we are looking at realistically late 2024 for the ice machine and q4, 2024 for the wharf j9 project as well. the fuel dock is more complicated because that involves a (indiscernible) at the adjacent dock j10 and there is ongoing management and remediation of that process. we have interim fuel provided to the fleet, but as
6:19 am
soon as we work through that complex scenario of remediation and legal steps that need to be taken, that is still tbd. >> that takes a while i imagine. do you provide fuel for others in the fleet? if somebody had a boat that was traveling they can actually fill up at the dock? >> yes. that is my understanding. the truck is licensed to provide fuel over the dock to anyone who is interested in purchasing fuel. >> is that a lease where we lease that out or do we get a cut ramification >> it is a license and per our parameter rates as far as the licensing fee. >> so we do get a percentage? >> yes. >> okay. have we thought about-i remember back
6:20 am
in the day when mission rock used to have those afternoon parties and there was a lot of boats coming in. whether they were dancing in the water. similar to tiburon and sams where people go in and bring their boats, dock and patronize the restaurants that were there. they were packed on the weekdays. i know that we are jammed up with so many different things. have we ever thought about you know, to help build up maybe struggling businesses in the area public dock space where people can actually bring their boats and come from across the bay, vallejo and they want to have lunch and park for 2 hours and pay a docking fee and have lunch at the wharf? we never really had that in san francisco.
6:21 am
>> so, at the wharf it is focused on commercial fishing. however i say that the wharf j9 project we are looking at would allow for some transitory birthing that could accommodate those interests. in addition to the wharf, we have pier 1 and a half to where the public can dock their boats and visit some of the locations along the central waterfront. and in the southern waterfront we have pier 40, but we have resurrected discussions for bringing back the north dock as well. it is something that is on our to do list and we are prioritizing. >> the southern waterfront, is there facilities are that are empty that maybe do restaurants, new development like that can go into and help the southern waterfront with some recovery? >> at this time, the only launch is the pier 52
6:22 am
landing site which was damaged by the storms, but we are focusing on bringing that back online. as of now, there are not any locations identified other then i believe the ramp and also--the ramp. >> mission rock? >> yes. >> okay. i think as we have to support the commercial fisherman, ice machine, fuel, it is important, but i think what we are overlooking is possibly using the assets for public docking. maybe not fisherman wharf but further south. we are developing pier 70, rents are probably more affordable on the south side. there is lot more
6:23 am
economic growth and of course we can rent out property just sitting around. again, we are just trying to create opportunities, so i just put that on your radar or maybe on your agenda for the future. >> will do. thank you commissioner. >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner harrington. >> thank you. thank you commissioner lee. i remember being on a friend's boat and it was a fun time and that would be a fun idea. thank frz the report. congratulations to the now south beach harbor master. congratulations. a couple questions. one thing, i really appreciated that pie chart where the revenue comes from because i didn't understand the relative revenue sources from the fishing industry, versus cargo versus excursion. it was helpful, i appreciate that. on the discussion about the cruise ships and pier 35, is
6:24 am
the issue that a lot of cruise ships or some cruise ships don't have it the ability to do short side power or the issue of us not able to provide it? >> our issue not able to provide it. the majority of the vessels that call port of san francisco are equip to plug in to shore power, but pier 35 and previous studies is cost prohibitive and electrifying the birth coupled with the age of the facility from substructure and super structure issues as well. the shift is, what other locations are there in our waterfront to where getting electricity to the birth is more feasible as well as having a dock facility in good condition. >> amenities once you get off the boat because getting off in (indiscernible)
6:25 am
that's great. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner gilman. >> thank you so much for this report. i just-couple issues. i love the report. maritime is in the public trust. to me one of the most important things we need to elevate, promote and make sure happens along the 7 and a half miles of waterfront so i really appreciate it. i wanted to ask-i was curious looking at the revenue and i like to make sure i understand the revenue piece correctly. excursions isn't in your pot or is it in your pot? >> it is. that includes the land side leases as well for excursions. >> okay. have we seen dips at all in excursion, particularly with alcatraz? >> i can find out that question for you, but i can see speak to the labor disputes. i'm not
6:26 am
aware of disruptions to their operation as a result of their ongoing labor discussions. >> okay. that was just the question. again, i know i mentioned this before, but i'm a big proponent of water taxi and shirt term service. i have not yet been able to make it to treasure island. maybe once more then every 45 minutes would encourage people-using water transportation is challenging for that short distance, but anything we can do to also promote or leverage our media and our experience for the communications staff that we can do to really help the water taxi operators-it is hard to know where they are, it is hard to utilize, usually just a person barking out on the embarcadero water
6:27 am
taxi so i hope we can promote this and try to make this more a staple on the waterfront, particularly with (indiscernible) mission rock coming in. i think there will be more and more folks who want to do water taxi. (indiscernible) is a challenge to get there. we had water taxi and other service it would help so hope we can support that as much as possible and again thank you for everything you are doing, particularly really into this mentor internship program and happy to read about that and supportive of it. can you remind us, how much is your staff and (indiscernible) >> we are the mighty mari-team. we added to staff. we had post pandemic retirements so we have staffed up and we
6:28 am
will continue to evaluate if we need to add additional staff, but where we are now i think we have a good team in place working in pier 1 and south beach harbor. >> what is your fte count? >> around 25. >> okay. just wanted to say to the public, tru-minds work you are doing with the small and mighty team compared to departments much more massive so i appreciate everything you guys do. thank you. >> thank you commissioner. >> thank you. great report and maritime is doing a phenomenal job along with the rest of port staff. it is just amazing the amount of work we are able to do with such a small staff and maritime has really shown over the years that you know, everything increased in every way. especially excited about the (indiscernible) and the need for more space for cruise calls and really looking forward to the
6:29 am
analysis of where it is best to move some of that, so that we can have more cruise calls. i think everyone at fisherman's wharf will be so excited they are getting a new ice machine. i think the tenants, the fisherman, everyone. that is a strong need so really happy we are replacing that. so happy to hear about the internship program, inspire program to be able to show the youth at a early age what maritime is all about and the opportunities that are available. i want to commend you and your staff for taking the time to have so many interns and to be able to give them that opportunity. congratulations on your promotion. i know you will do a great job, continue to do a great job in south beach harbor. great report. who
6:30 am
knew all this was happening in maritime? thank you. >> thank you. >> carmel, next item. >> item 9a, request to approval of proposed lease number l-17080 between port of san francisco and hotaling and company llc a california limited liability company for term of 5 years for operations of tasting room at pier 50 shed b southwest bulk hp head, resolution 23-39. >> thank you. callers who wish to comment on this item, please dial star 3 to raise your hand to comment. thank you. >> i don't know how i'll follow the maritime presentation. good afternoon president brandon and commissioners. director forbes. jennifer gee, senior property manager for the port real estate development team. before i get started i do want to thank my colleagues
6:31 am
for their assistance bringing this item before you today. kim beale, david (indiscernible) patrick foster, (indiscernible) former staff members becka and (indiscernible) the item presented at the proposed new lease with hotaling and co llc for tasting room at the pier 50 shed b southwest bulkhead. to give you a little background, houtling is a non retail port tenant leasing since 2019. the operation currently includes distillation, bottling and storage and marfing package and handling of distilled spirits. the lease exspired 2027. last year hotaling proposed to expand the operation to operate a tasting room and host events in connection with the
6:32 am
distillery. also intends to charge guests for it tours and tasteings and (indiscernible) on site. hotaling and port wish to enter into new lease to allow retail uses at pier 50 shed b for term of 5 years. the proposed lease requires approval by the port commission as hotaling is a non retail tenant seeking to become a retail tenant. supports the economic growth and economic recovery objectives by react itvaing vacant space at pier 50 while generating economic benefits and inliveing port property. as well as maintaining the port financial strength by generating base rent plus participation rent revenues. let's take a look at the location and comparable. the photo shows shed b at pier 50. the tenant lease
6:33 am
is bays 4-14 and 20-24. the area they are interested in expanding into and activating is the southwest bulkhead highlighted in yellow. the southwest bulkhead used as office and office storage space. it has been vacant little over 15 months now and staff does not view the space as a suitable competitive solicitation site. absant propose eld stach would market the space for office, however with increased office vacancy rates in san francisco as well as the prior leasing trends for this particular space, we expect difficulty leasing this location as office. hotaling proposal presents a opportunity to generate base rent and participation recent. comps are the high end
6:34 am
parameter current parameter is $3.60 a square foot. monthly rental rate for the previous tenant was $3.71 square foot for office space and $1.85 storage space. monthly rent for nearby port retail tenants is $2.91 square foot for atwater and $2.69 square foot for mission rock resort, both of which also pay 7 percent in participation rent. the base rent for hotaling is $3.75 with 7 percent participation rate component. the proposed lease terms for this space include just over 3 thousand square foot shed b, the southwest bulkhead. permitted uses include the operation of public tasting room and
6:35 am
education area, hosting events tasting and sale of productsism the term proposed is 5 years. monthly base rent is above current parameter and include 3 percent annual increases. the port will also receive 7 percent of gross revenues. the proposed lease also includes a 90 day rent abatement period to low to complete tenant improvements for the tasting room, including code compliant accessibility improvements and any utility related to the instull station of the equipment. the expected base rent revenue over the term is $695 thousand and the port will receive 7 percent in participation rents. in 2011, the port commission approved the retail leasing policy allowing staff to engage in direct negotiations with non retail port tenants
6:36 am
that are seeking to become a retail tenants as long as the tenant and proposed use meet certain criteria is and authorizing the negotiation. september last year the staff requested and receive authorization from the commission to enter into direct negotiation on sole source basis with hotaling for retail use at pier 50. the tenant is in good standing and demonstrating the business and financial where with all to operate a retail business. port staff has also determined the proposed use is consistent with port waterfront land use plan and waterfront plan. the san francisco city planning department also determined the proposed use is compliance with ceqa. in conclusion, staff recommends the port commission to approve the poposed lease for hotaling for operation with tasting room at pier 50 shed
6:37 am
b. that concludes my presentation. we have staff from hotaling and i'm here to answer questions you may have. >> thank you jennifer. is there any public comment on this item? this is a action item. i do. >> i make a motion we move the item. >> second. >> thank you. is there any public comment in the room? seeing none. corey, is there anyone on the phone? >> at this time there is no one on the phone wishing to comment on this item. >> thank you corey. public comment is closed. commissioner harrington. >> thank you jennifer. great job. when the (indiscernible) insight us to the opening party. [laughter] i notice the 5 year lease and just item 10a today is for free design work on
6:38 am
earthquake improvements for pier 50. is there a high risk, low risk, where is that risk of earthquake issue we are trying to fix while renting it out? >> it is my understanding the bulkhead areas are safe. that is closer to the drive isle for the (indiscernible) >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner gilman. >> again thank you. great to be activation. i had one curiosity question and it might be the tenant might need to answer it. when you showed the map of the space you are moving into the yellow space versus the blue space, there is a gap. there is a space that isn't yours. just curious why it isn't a continuous space? >> currently leased out to somebody else. >> okay. >> (indiscernible) >> i was curious about
6:39 am
it. hopefully you have great non alcoholic offerings so we look forward coming to the opening. >> thank you. commissioner lee. >> i don't have really any questions, but i'm kind of new. a really quick minute or two, can the business come up and tell me exactly what you do there? are you producing your own spirits? are-tell me what is going on. >> i'm the vp of operations for hotaling. hotaling used to be a part of the anchor brewing and distilling company. our owner is the same owner that sold anchor brewing to saporo in 2017. out of the merger started we couldn't keep the
6:40 am
name anchor so in honor of the biggest whiskey purveyor we tookoon the name. we make brand out of the facility. we have a good collaboration with (indiscernible) gin. it has been made in the city since 1996 and old potrero rye whiskey made at anchor distilling and now pier 50 and are that has been made in the city since 1993. we have a multiple decades of business here. we want to stay in the city. the opportunity came up to expand with our distillery. it is the only space that makes sense to work so reached out to jennifer once the previous tenant vacated and tried to seize the
6:41 am
opportunity so we make spirits here in the city as well as import from around the world to have a two prong approach to our business. >> surprised all this time you have been there you didn't have a tasting in your facility, which is straisk strange to me. especially what was going on with anchor brewing and i hope they can save it because of the history and i'm all about history. it makes sense for you to go next door. >> yes. >> it makes sense for-and good for the port. we are not losing because i am saying it is the same rate under the circumstances. really wasn't familiar with your name because i'm not a beer drinker per se, and i think more of the general public should know and think the tasting room will help. >> we agree. that is our hope as well. >> i'm 100 percent behind you on it. >> thank you very much.
6:42 am
>> thank you. >> thank you. thank you again jennifer and thank you so much for giving us more description what you are doing there. that is exciting. we are all looking forward being invited to the grand opening. we have a motion and a second. all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? the motion passes unanimously. resolution 23-39 is adopted. >> that thank you very much. >> item 9b, informational presentation on the formation of community facility districts at the port and discussion of the formation of the new community facility district for pier 70 historic core with orten development inc. under port lease disposition and development agreement and master lease l-15815 each with historic pier 70, llc.
