benson and mr. rose, that could have been part of another agreement that was modified? >> that is correct. one can draw a distinction between a material obligation and a liability and a reduction in the potential for future revenue. they are not necessarily the same. supervisor mirkarimi: sure, sure, absolutely. that is why this conversation seems a little bit more abstract, identifying what is material and its increase or not of our liabilities and obligations. would it be different if this were the end of the negotiations, where we have a dda before us as opposed to this sort of interim check up? we have a concern to say there is a $2 million modification, where we are getting less rent? would that the less abstract? the laws? >> the leases and the dda's are stand-alone agreements. that had to do with the change. supervisor mirkarimi: i am looking for the contra. -- the entry points. the term sheets or whatever comes back to us, i am looking for the entry point. -- points. chair chu: that is an excellent question. just to step back, part of what everyone is struggling

bentsen was same -- benson was saying. >> i think there has been discussion about whether a taxpayer or someone else can make a reasonable determination. this is not just whether there is material change, this is change that is a detriment to the city overall for this board and what for final approval was. there is language that makes it clear who is to make that determination. frankly, whether or not a taxpayer disagrees is irrelevant in terms of a legal lawsuit. there is no basis for that. >> i will take exception because i don't think that that is an accurate description. the board delegates its authority to staff and to make changes that are in the best interest of the city that do not directly increase this to the city. what a taxpayer says or believes with respect to whether or not that elevation is relevant as it is relevant with any kind of potential taxpayer litigation, -- i am referring to the language that says that they determine what is in the best interest of the city. we are on solid legal grounds and we have no fear of any lawsuits of anyone alleging that this was the

benson also led the investigation of u.s. airways flight 1549 known nationwide as the miracle on the hudson which made capital sullenberger a household name in this country. his investigation included an analysis of the engine damage in black box flight recorders, interviews with the flight crew, pilots and passengers and meeting with manufacturers of both the airplanes and its engines. mr. benson has also been a strong advocate for the collection of more in-flight data points from black boxes which he believes are crailt to the understanding of what exactly may have gone wrong during a flievment his efforts have led to a significant increase in data from less than ten data points collected in flights to over 1,000. in an interview, he said, "my work is a waif getting bafnlgt i get a good feeling after ever one of these investigations is over, i. " it is this sentiment that inspires me to highlight the great federal employees on the senate floor. there are countless federal employees who dedicate their lives to making sure th

. -- benson. this was to lock in a wait for them to collect a certain amount per square foot per year for 75 years, rather than the $6 per square foot amount in the agreement for all of the long- term leases, except for piers 30 and 32. >> it was a matter of liability. bringing it back to liabilities, as well as asking for how we arrived at how the structure needs these, to answer that question, i have to go back to our assessment about what the issues were on december 14. under the agreement of december 14, based on our best estimate of what those valuations of the long-term leases are, based on what we did at the time, the entitlement work that had previously been done at this site, which they had been working on from about 2002 to 2006, we have a pretty good assessment about what that valuation would be. if you look at that valuation, the property values, and how we could expect that evaluation process to transpire, as well as we expect the appraisal process to transpire, all of those coming in

>> brad benson from the port. thank you for the opportunity to be here. i wanted to give a high level overview of first source and local hire as it applies to the port. i want to talk about the public- private partnership issue you were discussing earlier and some of the other poor programs we have been using to try and address this benefit for the neighboring communities and then see if you have specific questions. with respect to first source hiring and the new local hire legislation adopted by the board, the port is subject to both of those through its construction contracting and through port leases. every port lease contains the first source provision. we appreciate the ability to work with rob and guillermo to implement those provisions. we have had some great success stories. pier 96 is the location for the city's recycling center. the port tenant is san francisco recycling and disposal. there are about 140 jobs at that location. about 120 have come from the 94014 neighborhood. that is really a model of what success can look like under local hire,

january 31, 2011, judge roger benefitson, a federal district -- benson, a federal district court judge invalidated the entire law. he concluded the law's requirement to buy insurance or pay a fee and i'm going to quote now, is outside congress's commerce clause power and it cannot be otherwise authorized by an assertion of power under the necessary and proper clause. it is not constitutional. he also writes, quoting again, it is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a british mandate giving the east india company a monopoly and improcessing a nominal tax on all tea sold in america would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place. surely, he says, this is not what the founding fathers could have intended. end of quote. on february -- excuse me, february 2, of this year, the senate voted to -- on the senate vote to repeal the law, it failed on a party line vote, 47-51. so the senate did not follow the path of the house of representatives to repeal obamakaye. on -- obamacare. o
