my last example is pier 54. the photo is what someone would see on a boat approaching from the northwest. the photo on the right shows an example of deteriorated concrete beam framing into a pile under pier 54. pier 54 has many damaged beams. as present no funding source has been identified for the repair. estimated cost to perform the repairs is $21 million and this includes both structure, gravity repairs and seismic strengthening. in conclusion, the facility assessment program provides valuable information related to structural condition to port facilities. we have over one billion of unfunded projects listed in the commission report. this concludes my presentation. >> thank you. public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. commissioners? commissioner woo ho. >> thank you for your report and i think you've convinced us with the photos in terms of some of the conditions but i guess i'm looking for a little bit of a bigger landscape picture. i did hear you say that a billion dollars of all these variou

96/terminal and then be pier 70 wharf 8. pier 70 wharf 8 we do have a federal request in through werda >> water resource --. >> yeah, water resources through the army corps of engineers, so we're hoping we may get some funding for that as well. but as elaine mentioned we have begun the permitting process through the army corps of engineers for removal and reanticipate that ideally to get a permit within the next 12 to 18 months that would allow us to do that removal. >> so approximately how much is still unfunded? >> i will need to get back to you on that and i can do that. >> i think you have come up with great suggestions on what to do with the funds, but i did request a few months ago that we consider making that a part of it, because that has been an outstanding issue for a long time. thank you. >> i think today was really great in terms of having everything kind of presented to us so i want to thank, the fact that we had the facility assessment to the 5 year financial plan, capital plan and obviously what you want to do

sheds with our major tenant we've got pier one and 2 we're looking at more their historically pier 31 had a mural painted on the end of that that's been touched so buildings have been use for a similar type of we've loofrnltd graft out where signage or murals may be able to be added and consistent with the requirement that we tried placing signage on small medium and large pieces and come back with the guidelines with a professional we think it going to pass and also take public comment and looked at some of the shed walls adjacent and it's for the identification of the port used for a larger scale set up for longer distances where a lot of signages is oriented towards pedestrians and vehicles from the embarcadero e.r. other districts, of course what i'm returning to it is the embarcadero district that's all i'm going to do today regarding the next steps continue the guidelines of the signage we're about to realties for review with city planning and some of our public groups and with our key tenants and then refine those based on comments and rupture to the commission for consideratio

delays in the removal of pier 2 may result in penalties of $30,000 per violation. the second document is a downtown san francisco ferry terminal expansion project which is a project being developed by weida, which is the san francisco bay water emergency bay transportation agency and they are the public agency tasked with expanding ferry service in san francisco bay. the project includes 3 ferry terminals, one of which is scheduled to be at pier 2. the project is critical because it addresses the need to offer an area for a major catastrophic event should one occur in the city, the 3 terminals will be there, the lagoon is also being proposed to be covered so that way it could have an area for queuing and a covered area from weather and elements. in its october 2nd, 2014 meeting the board of directors certified the environmental impact report for the downtown project, which referenced the vacation of removal of the building on pier 2 by march 2015. construction is estimated to begin the spring of 2016 and will conclude in the summer of 2017. i'm going to turn the mi

the next project is our pier 92. pier 92 is a very important pier at the port. this photo shows an example of a missing pile at pier 92. all of the wood piles at pier 92 have uncured dry rot. port engineers has created the 18 were you not repair design and the project is currently on hold pending the issuance of a permit. the project material cost is $2 million and the project is currently funded with port capital funds. port maintenance will do these repairs. photo on the right shows a typical cruise ship call at fir 35. the photo on the left shows the underside of the peer. you can see the rebar corrosion from the caupb keet beams. port engineering has nearly completed the subtruck tour repair drawings. the port is exploring various repair opportunities and will start construction in the near future. the next facility klus the aprons around agriculture building. this photo on the left shows the deteer roted south and east apron around the agriculture building. the photo on the right is a close up of the east apron. both the south and east apron show significan

the bcdc plan was oriented a couple years ago when they did the boat race thinking they needed our pier and we never know the wheat at that project was not going to start for another year and we didn't notice it or whenever there's no need to demolish a restaurant that didn't need to be diminished it didn't make sense until it needs for done what we need to do is amend bcdc plan with the ports support i really building it can be accomplished and create for revenues for the city and keep employment going some really good hard working people we've had a good relationship for all the years it would be a shame to have something like that happen until it's necessary to happen i'd like to do is get the commissioners here for you to talk to say staff about this and get them to work with use it can be accomplished we work together like we have for 40 years it's you know, i guess i'm pleading with you because it's right thing to do and thank you for listening to me. >> our next speaker is jack. >> hi commissioners my name is jack and i'm over 60 years i'm speaking on behalf of over thirty employ

and at pier 27 both had profound effects. surprisingly, the system at the shipyard is about equal or maybe even more emissions reductions coming out of that, primarily because the ships when they are in dry dock or in the shipyard are there for weeks at a time as opposed to just coming for 8 hours or 10 hours at a time. a lot of the other reductions were, frankly, not of our own doing. there are some state regulations that reduce the sulfur content in maritime fuels and those had a real significant effect statewide and you see those in emission reduction numbers for all the california ports. >> thank you. >> sure. >> and thanks for all your hard work. i'm disappointed to hear you are going to be retiring. >> he's a young guy, too. >> i am not disappointed in that announcement. >> did i out you? i'm sorry. two quick things to report, commissioners, one is that the pop up, the public space at seawall lot 337 across from the ballpark is rapidly rising from the pavement and there was some happened to catch an interview on kcbs to

the old pier was damaged by super storm sand ney 2012.owing year the boardwalk inferno finished the job. >> lose the pier and you lose the economic engine that supports the town. >> i would rather keep it a little low key, but residents worry about a change to local laws that funtown's owner is hoping for. >> currently rides in seaside park can't be higher than 50 feet, but to generate enough business to justify the cost of rebuilding the pier its owner wants to bring in as many as ten rides up to 300 feet tall. >> that's an awful small space to put a lot of big rides up there i thought, and the noise. >> we respect their position but if you want the town to survive it has to be economically feasible to reconstruct the pier. >> if funtown's owner has his way local lawmakers will change the height limits this spring allowing for a potential return of the pier with a couple rides this summer. ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. >> long road back. >> nbc 10 news is next. >> here's jacqueline london and keith jones. >> the dnc announcement. >> what t

he said look piers, here's my view of this. problem with you running this campaign, i understand you feel passionately about it. rather than call the gun people on your show as idiots, why don't you phrase it as i find your position idiotic and it did strike me as an extremely sensible comment to make. it's the kind of personal abuse that gets wrapped around all this driven by social media which i think often takes away from the central argument and also makes it very difficult to reach any fair balance judgment or have any kind of consensus of opinion. >> i think we all need to watch our language especially in this incendiary environment in which we live. i've got about a minute left. we talked earlier in the program about the death of new york times media columnist david carr. you tweeted that it was an e-mail from david carr that led to your departure from cnn because he was going to write about you. explain. >> well, it was actually more the announcement as i was coming off my daily show because of david carr e-mailing me a

they would be placed around the pier at the floor of the bay. it's peer e3 one east of yerba buena island the largest base here. nothing like this has been done before on such a large-scale an implosion under water. caltrans says it could be the cheapest and most environmentally-friendly friendly way to do it. >> it appears to be the quickest most efficient least impactful process to the environment. >> reporter: it's a crude idea of what it might look like. what's left of the roadway will be removed the implosion will get rid of the pier and debris will collapse into a hole made by other charges in the ground. traditionally engineers put a big metal scoop around under water piers drain out the water and lower work crews with big power tools to knock the thing down. >> there are serious concerns such as potential mortality to fish and wildlife, release of debris into the water column as well as toxic pollutants along the bay floor. san francisco bay keepers obviously concerned. >> reporter: caltrans has reached out to bay keeper and other enviro

people from the bay area and all over the country crowded the pier. a lot of them happy to be away from the horrible winter they are having back home. >> spring will come again. >> you have to make sure someone is taking care of your house in the winter so it does not cave in on you. >> that is the second day of tulip mania. the largest display. continuing through next sunday. record highs in the bay area, shown in red. santa rosa hitting 76. concord, 75. now, napa, 72. they are nice as well. president's day continuing, mild, warm weather throughout the bay area. after that, we will cover it in the forecast in a few minutesiment a security guard was shot and killed in san jose last night. his death is the third homicide of the year in that city. it happened at a shopping plaza on north capitol street. the guard was shot as he was trying to prevent another crime. he died at the hospital. the shres -- the police have no suspects. >>> the shooting s in denmark might have been sparked by the news, he killed a security guard, and another person was killed.

meanwhile, spending the day at sunny pier 39 is where most spent, there were visitors from back east hoping to soak it all in. >> reporter: if there is an east coast bias it has taken a hit. the weather has not exactly been something to brack about. >> just laugh and enjoy it, folks. >> reporter: but here is an idea. you could come here. sanfrancisco's pier thirty nine was jammed today as people from all over the united states were here. the sun that brought out the flowers also brought out the troops. >> the cold is -- it is -- it is tolerable i guess but we all want warm weather. nobody enjoys the cold and the 9 degrees days. >> it is a hunker down mentality. we just got to get through it and spring will come again. >> reporter: but spring is already here. the allen family just moved from ohio two months ago. it is safe to say they are not feeling homesick today. >> this is why we moved to california, part of the reason. we wanted to get into some of the nice winters, so, i hear we pay for it more in the summer but we are good with that. >> you pay for it when you buy your house, a

just, you know, looking across at the pier. it is sad. there are no signs of the good old times returning here any time soon. but joan and her gang decided to revive the past at least over the air waves. with the help of the technically savvy tony they have set up their own radio station for oldies. the average age of its dj's is 75, and the biggest challenge they face is mastering the computers where some of the songs from their youth are stored. >> i'd always shied away from computers. and i'd never touched a typewriter to even know where the keys were. but gene said i've picked it up ok -- quite well. >> the first time i looked at it i said i should blow that up as soon as i touch it.

rental units at pier 70. the expectation is that they will be rentals with -- using what we call 80/20 deals, 80 percent market rate with 20 percent affordable then there will be one parcel dedicated to 100 percent affordable housing. as for the next steps on seawall, we will continue to work with our working group members refining the goals and objectives of our rfp as required by our memorandum of understanding, we will be coming back to the commission prior to the issuance of the rfp so you can actually see the rfp itself. our goal is to issue by april pending our continued discussions with the neighbors. and that concludes staff's presentation. >> thank you. >> thank you, ricky again. that concludes the presentation by the mayor's office of housing. we will be happy to respond to your questions and comments. >> thank you. >> i'm sorry, this is a formalized meeting. the commissioners will call you to speak at the podium if you want to give public comment, but it's not a community meeting. >> yes, now we ha
