at&t long distance has a line that cuts across treasure island but does not serve the island and they are in the process of relocating that to the rip rap with the perimeter of the island to avoid conflicts with construction, after the completion of clipper cove they will go into a more permanent alignment along clipper cove boulevard. we are also -- betty is working to plan for the relocation of commercial tenants to clear sites for the installation of the future gas main regulation station, as well as new electrical switch gear on the east side of the island. the final map for treasure island is scheduled for a director of public works hearing on june 27th, for consideration of the board of supervisors on july 31st. we are working with the navy, fourth land transfer which includes the child care site in july. we are also continue working with department of labor on permanent construction easements along california and avenue d. as well as potential long-term plans for the job corps center site. in conjunction with relocation of entrance of fourth street onto avenue h, job corps requ

yerba buena road and treasure island road connecting the two islands together. so that's the overview of the names that, or the network of names that has been adopted. i just want to bring it back to the board since it's been a while since the public or board have seen it. >> thank you very much, mr. beck. it's great we have some streets named after artists and architects. i think that's terrific. are there any questions by the board? are there any questions from the public? hearing none. next item, please. >> item 9, thrr resident consultation update. >> thank you, directors. to touch a little on the advisory services but also the planning for homeownership and premarketing as well as planning for our continuing discussion about planning for our two first affordable housing projects. the directors had requested that we keep a log of our outreach to residents. it's included in your binder but also this is just our log of our public meetings and workshops as well as email and direct correspondence with households, keeping it as part of our record. at this point,

strictly speaking is no longer an island. it is connected to the mainland by a down with a statue of pillman at the entrance of him and was the itinerant bishop who founded the benedictine abbey on haifa now in seven hundred and twenty four. first the monks had to clear the island of dense forest and snakes according to the legend. but the temperate climate the fertile soil and the fish from lake constance provided them with plenty of food. the benedictine motto aura its love bora pray and work is still painted on many of the houses traditions are held here. stefan leader and his son are no strangers to hard work they're out fishing every morning before anybody else is away. begin i thought through side i don't know how many generations have been fisherman here all of our great grandfathers were fishermen but i really don't know when it started with the way. in the old days the lake provided the monks with food today it's the tourists who eat the fish. the catch today includes white fish a speciality of lake constance. tradit

especially on treasure island, which is an island. we can test that while it settles. and see how it works. i also would like to note that the revenue is that we get from tolling, in fact support the public transit options, including the shuttles and varies. as we consider the tolling programs and the revenues that they generate, i think we have to be cognizant that part of the subsidy of the transit, the public transit options comes from the revenues themselves, from the tolls. would you like to comment on that? >> no, i think that's, it always bears repeating, our program here is intended to be self-contained. that revenues generated by the tolling program on from the parking on the island are then -- does help fund and subsidize the ferry operations, and to the ac transit bus service to the island. by the time we have billed out, the modelling indicates that ac transit service maybe self-supporting or self-supporting. the ferry service will always require a substantial subsidy, in particular if we want price for residents on the island not to be a driving factor in

road on the west side of the island. and then also, the transportation authority is empowered through state legislation, and a local ordinance to serve as a treasure island mobility management agency. in this role, they serve as the fiscal agency for the revenues from the parking and towing programs on the island, and utilize those revenues to subsidize did their subsidized very transit service as well as other trans related operations on the island. and the board, which is comprised of the members of the board of supervisors, is empowered to adopt a policy and procedure to implement and administer these programs. on the ramps projects, i wanted to kind of highlight the east side ramps, from westbound iat. this was completed in october oo highlight, again, the success of this project. the contract with the golden state branch and the construction manager was under the direction of the transportation authority. and as part of this project, they constructed the disappoint on the south side of the island where the bike path

island. reason why treasure island should be very high on that list is that the land is not a factor. the land cost is not a factor. which would bring that dollar amount lower. because of that, instead of projects which are seeking land to build and paying for that land, i think it's an example how cost. we have land here at treasure island which is devote, dedicated to affordable housing. the subsidy required to do affordable housing on treasure island should be less than other projects and therefore should get priority. it is actually a supply for all san francisco. even though it's located in treasure island, it's affordable housing supply for all of san francisco. the other thing that i like to note is that, the construction costs are at a point which i've never seen in the development history. construction costs being this high. lot that is because we can't get skilled labor and skilled contractors. the unions really have to step up. they have to step up to create more apprenticeships so

but if you were to go to the island today, this is definitely an island under construction. things are starting to happen so that's good news in that regard. as i indicated before, there's a variety of options and the quay is to get all those transit options up and running so in essence we discourage single-car occupancy coming on and off the island. we'll have car share, bike share, a transit pass. we'll have an on island shuttle. we have t.d.m. programs that we're going to go ahead and all start up. so, the next three years, this is the beginning of what i would call the real moving forward with developing all the policies and programs and the implementation for all of the new services. and the timeline here is over the next year plus, in particular there are key items that we need bring forth to this committee and to the timma board which, in particular, is the affordability and transit pass and a lot of specifics as it relates to toll system engineering, ferry service planning and other items here that we discussed in the past. so, frankly, i'm really excited because we'

treasure island has to be developed. sometimes th all of us have to come to the middle to make things work. in fact, almost about nine months ago the village center agree with the negotiation and they came back here and said we can liver with it live with it and it was appeared by the sierra club. at some point pau all of us will have to get together wit in the interest of the city. we have heard from the other stakeholders that are looking at this marina from people with big boats and people who wul subsidies this and small boat owners. i am comfortable with the sequa that we have here. we went from 450 and we are now back to 220, that is a drastic reduction. no project is the alternative here and that is not good because we have a dela delap delapidated marina. i am comfortable after reading through the analysis because we have exte expertise and they are saying there is no adverse effect based on the state sequa, and for the record, i am an environmentalist myself and i pay tension to all of these things, so when we g

in the polynesian islands but the poorest nations are actually a lot of the former communist countries and sub-saharan africa and then good and then in the middle east the big bright star of course is saudi arabia ok and. if you look at growth rates in the different regions you know a sure. how are they looking for the growth rates going forward yes and some of the hot spots coming up actually there are some of the emerging nations and then there are just growth rates so one of the most outstanding growth rates that continues as outpaced all nations actually is australia and that's really due to their brilliant immigration policies to get into australia i mean you have to have a certain network you have to come with certain skills they have not been stupid about that and most importantly they had a mining boom where they were mining coal and iron ore that they were shipping to all the factories in the nation so there's a great growth rate some of the emerging nations where there's a men's growth are you've got the some of the. in the pacific basically all the countries right then you h

billions of dollars of wealth on the island had been wiped out.d after years of rampant borrowing, the government's financial viability was being wiped out, too. the island was spiraling toward default. >> seven years of recession, chronic deficits, lots of borrowing. now puerto rico owes more than $70 billion. >> the government's story was always, "we're going to reduce the spending this year," right?t "we're goiraise more money," you know? "we're going to get this under control." n well, ther did. >> unfortunately, the government of puerto rico was run as a bigz poscheme. and what you had was essentially a black box of a government running that had no claritas to what was being borrowed and what was bng spent. >> sullivan: by early 2014, puerto rico's bonds had been doutgraded to junk status, b the government, desperate once again, turned to muniland. >> we've hired plenty of good financial advisers. >> sullivan: and despite the island's economic woes, banks raised $3.5 billion, mostly from hedge funds. it was the largest bond offering of its ki

raine island is unique in that it has a torres strait islander traditional owner group and an aboriginalir connection with raine island stretches far into their ancestral past. it is best for us to get involved using the technology, so we can help the parks and wildlife rangers. turtles need, you know, good conditions. the whole world needs that, you know? to look after this place that we call home, you know? to get to raine island, it is quite a mission. it takes our boat, which does 18 knots, about 2k hours straight from cairns. a very remote island. 16 of us go over. we sleep on the boat during the day, generally, and to the turtle work at night, 12—hour shifts at least. the island is so remote the team can only visit a few times per year. we satellite tag turtles. it's got very good gps data. we can look at how often the turtle comes up, how often she spends on the beach at night, whether she comes back the next night. so we know whether she nested successfully, we can track over the whole season how many attempts she made too lay, and how many times she laid successfully, which is r

regulators in the island.island power authorities owned by the state of new york and is regulated by the state and you look at the public utilities through the united states congressman, there are plenty of examples of public utilities regulated by the state owned or state control or state utility companies. >> senator, my guess would be those would be in a place where you have multiple utilities. prepa is the sole -- >> not so, it's the only place where you have. >> i'm running out of time so i'm going to reclaim my time but i'd love to see. >> i'm not in favor of this monopoly. >> if i ran the government, i don't know why i would have a redundant system and oversight boardthat's government as well . bottom line is we've got to move through a privatization scenario. there is an objective having utility that can billion dollars in debt while we're investing 6 billion, tens of billions of additional dollars in the puerto rican economy for recovery and not just recovering making it stronger, making it better. we

between montauk, new york, and block island, rhode island. commercial and recreational fishing is allowed in state waters, as the gentleman said, from shore to three miles off-shore. striped bass is managed by the states from maine through north carolina through the atlantic states marines fisheries commission. federal waters have been closed to striped bass fishing since 990 when a moratorium went into effect to help juvenile fish and help rebuild a fishery that was recovering from decades of overfishing. there's been an ongoing effort to reopen the striped bass fishery in the transit zone. yet, there is no science to justify it. in contrast, the science shows that allowing fishing in this transit zone, which accompanies about 155 square miles of habitat, could disproportionately impact spawning females and thus threaten the overall health of the striped bass stock. this will be detrimental to some of the biggest recreational and commercial fishing for us on the east coast. opening up federal waters in one region would undermine the protecti
