seeing no public comment, commissioner gilman? >> commissioner gilman: i have no questions. >> president brandon: okay. commissioner makras? >> board member makras: no question. >> okay. commissioner woo ho? >> i think the only question i have, is why did it take us so long -- i think it's the first time in seven years that i've seen that we did not put the contingency amount in the contract, and it took us this amount of time to realize we had not put in the 10% contingency. i thought this was, i guess kind of semiautomatic, so i guess i'm a little surprised. >> yeah, it was not done -- i was not working at the port at the time, so i didn't research the actual conditions on that. >> well, i'm surprised the contractor didn't notice it. he was one of the ones that would notice it up front, too. >> i can answer that question for you, jonathan, since you weren't here. there are two possibilities. one, it was a straight up mistake, and we didn't add the contingency what we made up the contract. the other one was the sponsor didn't wan

seeing no public comment, commissioner gilman? >> commissioner gilman: i just want to thank staff for the presentation, it was very informative. my understanding is that staff has been working on this quite a while and received input in the april meeting and is working with boudin, and i'll be supportive, but i wanted to thank for the diligence. >> thank you, commissioner. >> commissioner makras: i support direct negotiations for certain leases and particularly with an anchor tenant as this tenant is. and the traffic and business that they bring to the neighborhood. taking care of quality tenants in any shopping center in any region is smart business, so i think the recommendation is smart negotiations, it's smart business. >> thank you. >> president brandon: commissioners, we'll vote? >> commissioner woo ho: i don't have any further comments. we're support i havive of this. we've ended up in a good place for the port and boudins and look forward to them being successful when they're going forward. and i would like to take a visit

gilman -- thank you to the public for coming out to support her. i certainly think highly of her as a person and certainly i think she would make a good commissioner on any commission in san francisco. so the issues i'm having is not with the nominee here in regards to her qualifications. i've been in rules committee, this is probably my fourth year being on the rules committee. and i'm pretty consistent about when there is an issue, seems this is a political move and people, when there's an incumbent that wants to continue her role in -- and get reappointed and there's other people that want to take their places, i pretty much side with the person that is incumbent showing they have been in the role. i wouldn't want to block her progress to the full board if that's the wish of the other members of the committee. >> supervisor safai: okay. so, is that a motion then to send it out without recommendation? >> supervisor yee: i'm just saying. >> supervisor safai: supervisor stefani or sheehy, did you want to say anything else? >> supervisor katz had a

it's likely you all know well who gail gilman is. you also know well how her tenacity has improved the lives of so many in our city. you have seen her lead a successful non-profit for years and participate tirelessly in committees and task forces to address the city's homelessness. you have seen her step up as a leader and collaborator on multiple propositions to secure funding for the city's housing crisis. gail puts others first. she puts the residents of san francisco first. in doing so she exemplifies the integrity needed to be a commissioner and more specifically to be a port commissioner so i urge you to support her nomination. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker? >> good afternoon, charlie with [inaudible] engineers local 3. we represent over 35,000 surveyors, inspectors, dredgemen. i want to read a few excerpts from letter of support i emailed to you all. i'm writing in support of gail's appointment to the port commission. her firsthand knowledge of the waterfront and experience with construction and development make

i want to strongly support gail gilman today. i think she will be an outstanding member and there's no doubt in my mind that she won't give 200% to this commission. >> president breed: thank you. seeing no other names on the roster, colleagues, can we take this same house, same call? without objection the motion as amended is approved unanimously. all right, let's go back to items 24 and 25. it's my understanding the two commissioners in question are here and are happy to potentially answer questions from members of the board. i would like for members of the board to know if they are not moved forward today, they will not be able to sit at another meeting for the m.t.a. until we go through our process, which could be potentially problematic and i would like members of the board to, if you want to ask questions, or if you still want to continue, either one of these particular appointments, i think we are open to discussion at this time on these two items for either or. supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam pres

so to commissioner gilman's point -- and welcome. it's nice to meet you. diane oshima. and commissioner makras. i do think it does warrant some full follow up where we could take the benefit -- we haven't even documented everything that came out of that workshop yet and bring it back to the working group to see what kind of public comment and consensus and direction that we get from the community and then we could take that under advisement on how to move forward on pier 30-32. i think mike's point about the feedback that we do get about what range of different public oriented businesses and developers in response to the historic district is good information for all of us to think about for pier 30-32, as well. >> okay. and i just want to say, i mean, we've reminded this group and kim and willie wouldn't remember this. you know, we thought we had a quick solution to pier 38. that was in 2012. with we're now sitting in 2018. i hope this round we get something that moves concretely because it just takes time to develop. it was 2012, and here we are six months later. it wa
