[laughter] >> it's that workgroup. >> right. >> so i just want to thank everyone work has worked on this. all the community groups and our leaders who have just done such a phenomenal job in coming up with the 161 recommendations. you put a lot of this and i think it's wonderful. i just have one question. and i know that planning has one set of some areas and real estate has others and i just want to make sure that we are consistent with our s

authority to empin that it port authority supervisors and order port authority employees to realign port authority lanes or in the private context, for someone to usurp the authority by deception of a taxicab company's dispatcher and order the cabs and the drivers to good wherever the fraudster pleases. they don't get a free pass simply because baroni worked for the port that when the evidence showed he didn't have the power to direct these resources in this way without telling the lie. they don't get a free pass because their hypothesizing that legitimate decisionmakers might in theory have decided to realign the lanes when the precise point of their scheme was to take these resources out of the legitimate decisionmaker's hands and put them some heir own hands. and they don't get a free pass simply because their motive happens to be political. let me start with the legal argument made by kelly's counsel which seems to be drawing a distinction between public uses and private uses and there are two main problems with that -- actually probably three. one is i don't see where license f

the port authority did that. that is what the government spent a great time in trial proving, that the money spent on the traffic study was illegitimate because nobody cared about the results. but the government agrees now that caring about the result is not an issue. they say the traffic study didn't exist. that is flatly contrary to -- justice: is it your position that suppose mr. barone had said, i am giving you no reason at all. or suppose he had said we are going to do a traffic study, but it is going to be a sham traffic study. would he still has had the authority? >> certainly, the first one. he had at any point the discretion to say, as somebody had done very o early on in creating these three traffic lanes, he would've said, i think they should have a fourth lane or are thinking should have only two lanes or only one, and that was fully within his authority. as the government argued and proved in the case below, that was their submission, was that he abused the authority he was entrusted with.

we are now at the port commission. if you are all supportive of the name, we would bring this to the board with a final map. the final map is anticipated to be before the board the first or second week of february, depending on how everything goes. and the final map is a really important milestone. it allows us to go forward with the c.s.d.f. formation, the community facilities district formation, for the final map where we can start taxing those parcels. the final map is a predecessor to the street improvement permit, which is a permit public works will issue to allow the phase one infrastructure to be constructed. it also predates the four phase one parcel leases. so the final map is a very important milestone for the project. so with that, i will conclude my presentation and be available for any questions. >> thank you. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none -- oh, somebody's coming up. >> good afternoon, executive director forbes, president brandon, and commissioners. my na

the south carolina ports authority is a powerful economic engine. its container volumes have doubled over the last decade making it the nation's ninth busiest container port, and it's growing. we're now deepening the harbor. once this is completed charleston will have the deepest harbor on the eastern seaboard allowing the huge ships to move even more cargo and containers into and out of our state. the economic growth accompanying this will set even more records. [ applause ] through the two inland ports in greer and dylan, 25% of the port's total volume now moves by rail to and from the marine terminals, doubling volume since 2012. completing the terminal in north charleston will take more traffic off the country bridges and highways and on to barges and trains. i want to thank everybody at the port authority for their hard work. in particular i'd like to recognize chairman bill stern, ceo jim newsome and coo barbara melvin. will you please stand and let us thank you.

a proposed refunding of revenue bonds for the port of san francisco. the port is proposing to refinance nearly $30 million in outstanding 2010 revenue bonds. we are requesting authority to issue up to $27 million in new bonds, but expect to only issue a little over $24 million. we estimate that this refinancing will realize nearly $12 million of savings, with a net present value of $9.4 million. the bond's maturity date would remain the same. these savings will have no impact on the general fund. the savings will accrue to the harbor fund. the port issued $36.65 million in revenue bonds in 2010 to support construction of the cruise ship terminal and to perform capital improvements on several piers. the 2010 bonds included two different series which reflected the mix of public and private capital improvements that the bonds funded. the taxable series matures in 2030 and the tax-exempt series matures in 2040. the bonds were issued with an option to be redeemed at the port commission's sole discretion as of march 1, 2020. the port is currently paying $2.8

they're big investors in our port.hey've done a very good job in taking over a port that was essentially a nonplayer and transforming it into the biggest port in the mediterranean, creating lots of jobs in the process and having very ambitious plans, and why not become the biggest port in europe? you can't argue with geography. kyrgios is the natural entry point for goods coming from asia but also from eastern africa into the central and eastern european markets. that's not going to change. and it would be very naive for us not to take advantage of that important geopolitical position. i'm a big believer in free trade. if you are a big believer in free trade then you also have to acknowledge the fact that you are in a position to facilitate free trade by virtue of your geography. greece is a natural entry point, a logistics center for this part of the world. we're not overly exposed to chinese investment. of course my goal is always to have foreign sources of capital, to be as diversified as possible. there will be new
