increases in our business. we want to incorporate lbgs in the dredging process as well. staff told you how we plan to get that at the last meeting. we sent out to over a hundred contractors. the purpose is to learn what contractors are interested in dredging over and under water. we will continue to do the broader survey. staff will come back to you to let you know how we can make this expenditure have more impact to local call businesses and he can. >> i. my final, before i close i would like to recognize tedmon. steadmon, raise your hand. it's his last day august 16th. i'm very sad about it. tedmon joined the same year i joined or a couple of months

[ applause ] >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on the executive director report? seeing none. do we have anyone on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> public comment is closed. commissioner adams. >> very thorough report, director forbes. very thorough, appreciate it.

it's good to know that all of the positive things that are happening down on the waterfront. it's been a long couple of years since culver. san francisco is getting back on and getting tracked and the focus back. we will come back stronger. all of the different projects with equity and this sea level rise, this is really a big thing. you and president brandon, we were down in new orleans. we saw what happened when the levies snapped down, there what can really happen. if people don't think sea level rise is real, they say it's probably the hottest year ever on this planet. there is a lot of things. it's good to know we're getting out front, it's so important to have that vision. you can't do something after it happens. you have to get out front. i appreciate that. i know there is more to come,

thanks. >> thank you. commissioner lee. >> great report, elaine. i can't believe summer is almost over. i mean it's august already. i know we're doing quite a bit of work on infra structure and parks. i think we need to do more for small business. peer 23. rents in pier 45 area. i think it's time for us to think outside of the box more. i know that, you know, think as a district we're probably doing better as far as attracting tourism to the waterfront. again they're not spending the money that they were. i mean it's affecting you know china town, affecting our fisherman's wharf. think as we move forward, i mean, we should think more outside of the box and do more

for small business. -- our fishermen and everything. in the meantime we're doing the best we can. you're doing a great job under the circumstances. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner engblom. >> thank you for the warm welcome. i would say in particular glad to hear about the army corp progress. i know from, from other work how the leadership at the army corp now is really shifting away. they're thinking to tphaeuft you're based thinking. i think that's a cutting edging example around the country. i guess, i'm excited to be part of the commission to see how we can work with our pier organization, people have mention another cities, i think the work that the port and army

corp are doing here in san francisco can attract more funding that i know you're successful at getting. thank you for the hard work on that. >> thank you. vice president gilman. >> thank you, director forbes for a great report. echoing my fellow commissioner sentiment. i know we got good press coverage in the standard. about ari, a jewish member of the commission. lost the majority of her farmly in world war. two think it's commendable to have a environment, staff that can run with this project and put the passion and heart into it. think it's really an illustration of the joy and love of san francisco. everyone has said we're in this doom loop of nonsense, i don't believe. i think highlighting work like this is a testament to that. i think also something very unexpected from a port.

i feel we have more art and parks going on now. with all do respect to arts commission and park and rec. i think it's important for the public trust to do this. i want to comment you and i want to commend the staff. i am thrilled to go to the reception tonight. those watching this, this is san francisco and our values coming together for someone who lost his family and livelihood in one of the most horrible wars and mass genocide we have seen. think it's important to celebrate all of our communities and the uplift of jewish heritage. thank you for that. >> thank you. thank you, so much for your report. commissioner engblom, welcome. i look forward to work with you and your expertise that you will

give the commission. i hope your first meeting is a good one, good experience. we have a great staff. will you get to know everyone. director forbes report is always great. it's hard to believe you left so much out of it. [laughing] but i really, you know, the port staff and this exhibit we are all going to see this evening is a testament to the wonderful people we have working here at the port. anyoneling s may of picked it up and threw it in the trash, you know. the fact that they said, you know let me research this and figure this out. it has lead to this, it's phenomenal. amazing. i can't wait to see it. i look forward to the reception afterwards. so, thank you, again. congratulations on all of the

equity achievements. again you have a wonderful staff. everyone is headed in the right direction, enjoying right thing, it shows throughout the port. and tedmon is leaving. tedmon got us all through covid and zoom meetings, team meetings. he took the time to personally walk all of us through how to get onto zoom. how to turn up the volume. how to -- [laughing] oh my god, you're leaving us. at least you're staying with the city. >> yes. thank you, director forbes and president brandon, for the kind words. i have been with the port here for 13 years. through that time i have seen lots of transitions. new networks, cloud services, different technologies. you know, i have helped

facilitate many of the changes here at the port. you mentioned we started to get the virus out of china that basically over night put us into lockdown. we helped to transition the port staff and the commission to work from home. so we conducted business and didn't skip a beat. we still -- [ applause ] public discourse even during those times. then as we started to turn the corner we transitioned back to, you know, on-site. here that brings us to this place, the port commission hearing room. i always think of it as a magic room. the sound of a gavel the mics turn on, slides advance, water magically appears. [laughing]

if i can peal back the curtain there is really a team of magic elves pushing the buttons. i would like to recognize the production staff, control room and city hall. many elves are part of this team that make the great stuff half. so what i take away most though -- discussion, there are critical decisions being made. most of all it's a reflection of the hard work, smart dedicated port staff that are doing all of the great work for the people of california. so, as i think of my transition

it's necessary for me to close my chapter at the port before i write my new chapter. so i will invoke one of my heros, captain bacard from the u.s.s. enterprise. he ended with, all good things must come to an end. commissioners, director forbes, my port staff, and the people of california, i thank you. it's been my pleasure. [ applause ] >> thank you, very much. we are definitely going to miss you. thank you. >> next item, please. >> item so, consent calendar. the callers wishing to make public comment on the consent calendar dial star 3 to raise your hand to comment.

10a. request for proposals of heron's head biological and physical monitoring related to marsh restoration projects. 10b, request approval of a extension of the lease agreemen) that is resolution 2435. >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item?

commissioners can i have a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> do we have anyone on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> thank you, public comment is closed. do we have a motion and a second. all in favor. >> i. >> any opposed? the motion passes unanimously. resolution 2435 and 2435 are a documented. next item, please. >> item 11a. (reading item 11a) >> this is resolution 2436. >> good afternoon, president brandon, vice president gilman, commissioner, executive forbes and members of the public. i'm port diversity equity and opportunity manager. today my colleague and i,

colleague tiffany tate emand i. -- rsq for equity support services. >> it is with the support and commission of this commission that the port prioritizes equity as a corral aou. it's part of our mission and operation. on this slide are the four equity goals that demonstrate our commitment to be a more equitable and inclusive organization. working with people of color, creating a inclusive san francisco waterfront and actively identifying and dismantling systemic racism in the organization. for this slide i will highlight. in 2020 we developed our

departmental racial equity plan that we will refer to as the reap for the remainder of the presentation. worked diligently internal external to the port to address the systemic and structure disparities that exist across different race and ethnic groups for employees and communities we serve. for the past few years we have focused on cultural shifts to foster welcoming and be blocking for port staff with. a goal of organizational transfer patient we have effective programming to prompt meaningful conversations centered around our own lived experiences to create connections of similarities and differens and reflect and ultimately grow together. additionally we have essential

training as part of our journey as being an anti racist organization. in 2021 we rep sieved training. in 2022 we conducted training focused on concepts of equity. what equity s why it's important and how it benefits all employees. most vently in june of this year we had another all staff racial equity meeting. i'm sorry all staff equity training that focused on deepening our understanding and introducing new concepts such as gender bias and micro aggressions. and now to focus on then we also

have small business outreach and engagement. it's crucial to recognize that none of this progress would be possible without the invaluable partnerships of our consultants. that is why the services are essential to the port program. the table on this slide is -- it's not the actual breakdown of anticipated scopes of work. contract service orders are based on the need of the port on a it or as needed basis. this allowing to us be quick and responsive as needs arise this. is not a comprehensive list of

equity services we will use the next five years. we anticipate project based contracts to come before this commission for award. now i would like to hand it over to my colleague, tiffany state for therest of our presentation. >> thank you. the port intends to advertise for as needed contraction. the port intends to use the services to improve existing offerings and explore new opportunities. these services may support port efforts to establish a equity training program for portlyize. update departmental reads, expand our work for internships. provide event services, and possibly establish engagement

strategy and provide other i am lar as needed services for the port. the contracts may also support the waterfront resilient program equity works. port primarily uses port time occasionally with one-time contracts. in past years, staff coaching and training, facilitation and stkat a analysis were achieved with individual contracts mostly under 200,000. the contracts were limited to two years in duration. acquired multiple approvals and took six months or longer to exit. as equity expands -- manage the port program. similar to the port as-needed engineering contracts the port intends to issue a rfq for as needed equity services.

these would allow the port to more quickly and flexible engage consulting support. the proposed request for qualifications will include contract services for cultural programming, outreach and engagement, small business capacity building, program audit and data analysis, equity focused special projects including a 20% local business enterprise sub consulting requirement as established by the city contract monitoring division. the contract term is for a period of 5 years. not to exceed 1.65 million. lbe proposes businesses are egg ill i believe for a 7.5 to 10% rating bonus during the evaluation and award phase. increasing the likelihood of lbe prime contract awards.

the port champions the equity requirements including local business enterprise ordinance, local hiring ordinance and first source hiring program. these are a foundation for equity work on local funded projects. we look forward to advertising the rfq before the end of the month. hopes of being in contract by december this. would allow us to kick the new calendar year off strong. the timing is ideal for the open house in march to ramp up school outreachen and gaugement after the holiday break and launch additional staff training at a time when most staff have had an opportunity to rest and recharge coming back with renewed energy this. concludes our presentation. we welcome your questions and feedback. thank you. >> thank you, tiffany and toney, for the great presentation. is there any public comment on this item?

seeing none can i have a motion to approve this item. >> so moved. >> second. >> do we have anyone on the phone? >> no callers at this time. >> no comments. public kpwhepbts is closed. commissioner lee. >> i think this is a great program. i definitely support it i'm curious. i know that, are we doing anything more for getting more like support from the staff? i know you guys are shorthanded. seeing the interns giving you en encouragement you can get new blood into the port. we're supportive of the contracts, i think the staff, think you guys -- we're losing our tech guy. think they're picking us clean here. i think it's time for hr to

focus on new blood. that's my comment. i support this. >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> i have to say, tiffany and toney. where which started and where you have take en us. are we where we need to be. i would like to hear from you both. what does this do for both of you? are you joyful inside seeing the results. >> i will go and then let toney. go i think equity is a life long

journey. i don't think we will get there, wherever there is, right. particularly for the communities we serve that will have a rotation also. so we hope to implement programs that will impact generations. so we may see some successes in our career here. the hope is that will happen well beyond us. justice standing up here having a conversation is moving us in the right direction. the conversation wez have internally. i mean seven years ago when i started, almost ten years ago when i started having conversations will lbe, so different from what they are today. i'm not even in most of them. that's a testament. i don't have to be there for the participation. before it was, we have to do it. now it's normal second nature. that feels right to me. we are moving into new territory

with the work force element. bringing staff along. i will let toney talk about the equity work. i'm happy every day. i'm happy i get to sefrbt communities i serve. is the work hard? of course, absolutely. it's rewarding. i feel i'm serving myself. part of the community i serve is me. that's where i come. from district ten. it feels natural and me to serve that community. i am excited my children won't experience the same challenges i experienced and their children and so forth and so on. >> thank you. i don't have much more to add. i resonate with tiffany's sentiment. i am proud of the work. i are be coming to the port four years ago. we didn't have a racial equity action plan. i talked about equity.

sometimes i got blank stares. what is that? why are we doing it? we are now at a time where equity is happening at the port. similar to what tiffany said, it's happening in the division as cross the port. i'm not in those meetings. folks are coming to me and they're utilizing me. to talk about equity and how to have more equitable processes and policies. people are more comfortable to speak us what they're experiencing. so, you know these small wins that we have had are really the seed for the transformation that we seek. i do believe this is life long work, right. but we are making strides. it really is a testament to the support we have not only from the folks within the organization that want to see the change but our leadership

and port commission. i have the support of tiffany as well. together i think we have done, we have done notable things. i'm very proud of the work and where we are today. >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> thank you for the presentation and sharing your experience. i was impressed when you talked about the work you have done internally on your team. when i reed the services it makes sense. i wondered if you can talk more about establishing criteria by what you evaluate the top three, i think you saw in here, the idea is to select three teams? is that correct. i guess a simple question without get too long technical.

probably not an answer to say yes or no but hear more about the criteria evaluating the people applying for the jobs. >> >> absolutely. i'm the -- for the port of san francisco. so we haven't finalized the exacty val awation of this rfq. it's a process that we work with. to give you an idea what we evaluate. there is a set of minimum qualifications. that's both for the tpeurpbl and for the key personnel doing the work. we want toe make sure we have experienced folks. then we have, that's pass fail. then thane al aouation of the approach. we have people ask questions about approaching different scenarios skpa what they're, how they work within a team, how they manage contracts so we know

who ever is the prime -- has experience or an idea how to bring the great team members they have into the work. then we also evaluate experience. we ask for example projects. in an fq we grade on ca qualifications. it's their approach and experience and the team they bring together. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> vice president. >> i just wanted to say to tiffany and owny, we have come so far from the first working groups and president brandon helped facilitate. i'm proud of all of the work you have done. you're a model for other city departments and non profit institutions.

thank you. i a port the item. >> thank you. >> i just want to -- so, this is to create a pool of individuals who will be ready to do the work but those individuals will still have to, we will still have to approve the contracts they get? >> thank you, for the question. the way the term pool gets used can mean two very different things. sometimes you create a qualified pool and then you have a bunch of qualified and go back to the pool to solicit a new contract. that's not what we're doing here this. is similar to the as needed environmental contracts, as needed real estate contracts. where these are contracts that

we will award, we will come to you, we hope in november, maybe december, we hope in november to come to you with the awardees and the full teams. see who the lbes are. how the evaluation program, the full team. then vote, you will have the opportunity to consider the contract for full award. then once they're awarded then at the contract service level they assign different contracts to the contracts once they're awarded. >> okay. thank you. tiffany and toney, thank you for the presentation. you're doing amazing work. it's hard to believe we are where we are today. it's really a testament to our leadership. elaine has embraced equity like no other department head in the

city. she has just made it a comfortable space for everyone here at the port. i remember toney was hired right as covid was happening, right before covid. then it took time to transition and for to you get to know people, everybody was working remotely. tiffany came in as an intern. look at her now. this is equity. you know, this is what we are trying to do. we would love the rest of the city to adopt what we're doing at the port. there is room for growth. there is room to do something other than just a dead end job. director forbes just has created such a wonderful work place for everyone here at the port. that's why we have such an amazing staff, as i always say.

you're doing a great job, thank you for the presentation and the work you do. >> thank you. >> so we have a motion and a second. all in favor. >> i. >> any opposed. resolution 2436 is adopted. next item, please. >> item 12a. request approval of proposed rental assistant program for pier 14 tenants relocated on port property due to closure of the pier. resolution 24-37. >> good afternoon, president brandon, vice president gilman and commissioners directser forbes. my name is kimberly beale, today i'm joined by karen chan, jennifer gee and scott l. we are seeking the port approval for a rental assistant program

for pier 54 tenants affected by the piers closure looking to relocate to similar space on port property. there was a transition of numbers in the staff report in an area it says 45. to be clear we're talk ing about closure of pier 54. as a background rapid structure assess ment report completed in 2017 by moffin and nickel portions of the peer designated red, unsafe. there were no plans for repairs. the sub structure would continued to be monitored. for this reason we stopped entering into new leases at the location. a new rsa was completed in jan of 2023 by ryan joyce structure design designated additional

sections of the pier as red. port engineering had concerns about on going safety of anyone occupying the pier with. no plans to repair recommend closure with. this we are looking at complete closure. we're not looking to do work going forward. so it will unfortunately remain closed. the closure will affect a total 11 ten ants. many who have been with the port for a decade or more. leases are month to month. can be terminated with 30-days written notice. the port is not required to pay relocations costs. the pier is not being closed for a development project. due to the dilapidated condition of the pier rents are low relative to other locations and substantially less than current

parameter for similar size space. for tenants looking to relocate this will create a hardship. port staff is proposing a rental assistance program. delaying rent increases allowing budget for the higher rent or additional time to find space elsewhere at a rental rate sustainable for their business operations. so to participate in this program tenants must be in good standing. the space must be for the same use. someone can't have office space and then decide they want to do something else instead. for tenants looking to direct deals with the port also eligible. tenants will be given a five year leaps this. is, you know, with four one-year options. essentially it's a one year lease with four one year options for a total five years.

first year of the new lease rent for square foot is the same under the existing lease. year two it would increase 5%. then in years three to five it would be structured similar to the current ramp up program. approved by the port commission. leases have been 70% of parameter, 80% up to 100. an example of this is let's say we have a tenant with office space as pier 54. rent for office space at the ag build is say 360. for the first year they would pay the 213 per square foot. option year two, increase 5% more than what they currently pay. >> if they exercise the option in year three it's 70% of

parameter at the location. or 70% of 360 increasing to 252. 80% in year four to 288. then in the final year it would be the 360. so this provides flexibility for those tenants again if they feel the rent is too high. they have the ability to find space and move elsewhere or again to budget accordingly for the higher rent. so to show what this looks like the amount to be waved in year one given this scenario would be approximately $178,000. that compares to the revenue loss at the pier for complete closure. $180,000 a year. so approving this program would meet the port's economic recovery objectives.

avoiding mediate drop in revenue port will experience with closure of the pier. it will at that sis tate occupancy of current vacant port property. the executive -- will be met. many are small women or minority owned local business enterprises, non prove and the arts related. this program will enable the businesses to remain on port property, along the waterfront. at. relocations assistance progm would allow port to retain stableai ten abouts and providea pack to fulfill higher vacancies. obtain a revenue stream that would end with a closure of the pier. port staff recommends the port commission adopt the reluges of the rental assistance program

for pier 54 tenants relocating to other port locations. that. concludes my presentation. iio welcome your questions. >>thank you, kim. >> can i have a motion. >> i move the item. >> sefpblgtd. > any public comment in the room? >> seeing none, do we have anyone on the phone? >> no callers for public comment at this time. >> thank you. >> commissioner engblom. >> well being new to the conversation i guess i have a question about the locations. how likely is it that the 11 tenants are, have a place appropriate for them? >> we have been actively working on finding alternate locations. opportunitily there are two tenants that will vacate.

one has terminated. we have four tenants that we have identified alternate locations for. some have completed the lease applications pending with what happens with this program. we have two that are, that have found tentative locations and another three that are undecided. so it's a little challenging. these are very small tenants. i would say on average office space is 200 square feet. it's challenging to find space that's u.s. small business administration. for the shed space i say tenants average 1300 square feet. the largest would be the parade guys. again they're the largest tenants, a little different than the averages i provided. we found an alternate location for them penned whagt commission

decides on the program. >> thank you. >> commissioner lee. >> no questions. this program will definitely help them move. it's very costly to relocate i'm worried that finding the right space for them will be an issue. if you can locate it. i totally agree with this program. because it's kind of not their fault. so, yes. i mean let's just do it. >> okay, let's do it commissioner adams. >> this is a safety issue. the pier will be closed down. that's the number one responsibility of the port, safety. the responsibility of trying to

remove people to other places and things like that. we want them to be safe. i really appreciate the port doing this and showing, you know, the good neighbor policy. showing we are trying to help them and looking out for their safety. i wish we had the money to put into our piers to restore them. something like this will be con developmented. condemned. we don't want to have, god forbid, any accidents. i'm in support. >> -- gilman. >> i have one request. hoping as we get closer to option two. the first big jump of the rent if we can have a report back to the commissioner on how folks are doing. part is just to mitigate having the tenants coming back for a

different adjustment or relief as we get everyone in the portfolio to get the rent. i a. support the commission. >> thank you. >> thank you, kim, for the report. i know we have discussed this a lot. so pier 54, i know we're going to condemn it. we are just going to leave it there? i know it's a new development, it's unsaeufplt i think we should think long term. what will we do with the site? it seems like prime real estate. >> we believe we will condemn

the pier and remove the pier. we believe the pier should be removed. we need to talk to about those decisions more formally when we do the rapid assessment and think through which of the piers we and as you said, commissioner adams, we can't afford to take care of all of the piers. the sadness is having to condemn facilities as a result. or yellow tag them like next door with fencing. the public can't be in those locations. pier 54 is not a historic facility, it's not a key development site, it's not one with plans for rfp. truthfully if we had all of the staff in the world to do development i don't think we would put this one out for development. it's been on the "do not" resuscitate lift, it's very small. it's been on the list since i joined the port in 2010.

we never found a funding plan for that pier. i don't think we should find, i don't think it's the pier we should invest in or pursue development for at this period. >> thank you. >> can i make sure, can we make sure it's locked up safe though. because unlike pier 90, the skateboarders like to go over the fence. it's actually a nice property. two general eye it looks in habitable. you could still do your thing there. i would like to make sure it's locked up well. toeufrplts that point and your request staff is working. we have an in terrible working group. we have pulled in security, engineering to think about removing units that we don't have people getting into a building and plugging things in and access the pier with no eyes

on it. that's something we are working on. again once we don't have anyone there any longer we have cameras or a way to try to make certain the facility is secured. one of the pluses of the location is there is at least a gate that closes off the pier. it doesn't prevent folks from come big water. i'm sure it will remain a challenge. ideally if we could remove the building itself for an open pier, that's ideal. we don't have the funding, so we're being proactive and think ing about how to make certain it stays secure once it's closed. >> thank you. >> thank you. my next question is parameter rent. what is parameter rent go up in year five? >> goes up in year five.

>> it's no longer $3.60. it's $4. >> again this program if they're in a lease and those are the terms of the lease it's benefiting them -- >> whatever parameter is at that time. >> it's t. depends on how we write at agreement. again wrao*eu right now we looked at having step increases so it's very clear. we're basing it on current parameter. again this is really trying to help the tenants in an active location. recognizing as commissioner lee said it's costly to move. we're not pa*ing for them to move. those are costs they have to bare. recognizing the rent will increase. this is really designed to be favorable to try to help the tenants. they don't have to exercise the

option. if it's something that will increase to a point where they can't afford it, they can leave. there is the possibility that parameter does increase. we hope it does. that means conditions and the economy has improved. they reap the benefit. again we're looking at small spaces. 200 square feet. 1200 square feet. 1300 square feet. >> thank you. >> can you remind me how often do we set parameter? >> we typically set it annually. we're a little behind this year. t*eul typically it's annually. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> i have a question. how many other piers do we have in this condition? how many others will come to the commission. >> i was honestly per our

conversation go through those in my mind. i was thinking what a serious issue it is closing a pier like pier 38. how it deteriorates when we stop the tenanting. we learned at pier 38 and we are doing a better job at 54 to have the planned exit to be in the safest condition possible. no doubt having a vacant sra pierdeteriorating. until we have demolition dollars we want to turn the money elsewhere for activation or open a restaurant. it's a struggle. let me tell you with a rapid report showing how you, i will

recommend that on new business if you don't mind. we have pier 54. we have pier 35. pier 35 is challenged. we have heard that from labor. not great conditions, leaking, leaking for a long time. we plan to not have that as a cruise ship terminal. michelle will ask me to agendaize this. we will augendize this topic for another conversation. thank you. deputy city attorney. >> thank you, any other questions or comments? thank you, kim. we have a motion and a second. all in favor. >> i. >> any opposed? motion passes unanimously. resolution 24-37 is adopted. >> next item. >> new business.
