. >> commissioner makras: how often is the flow in the parking. 180 versus 200. how many times a day are they packed? are they using every spot and multiply it out so we can understand. if they use it every day maximizing, it tilts people for revenue, but if it's only capacity two days a week for one hour, then the impact could be gauged appropriately. >> and we do have a lot of information on the lot and we could generate that. we would like to bring the community's input on this issue before the commission as well. and that may take a little longer than just generating the options for the numbers. >> in october, if this is okay with you, dan, we would like you to move forward on your consideration of the project, so s.f. public works can move along on the schedule. if they have a flexible design in the small area of the parking lot that can be plaza or parking, we would like to take time to study that more, work with merchants and make a proposal for how to use that space. we'll have an opportunity to make some decisions down the road. but we want ample time to

yes, we do. >> commissioner makras: so i'm not hearing this, but is it season tickets? and we use them for promotion and then if we don't use them we sell them? >> correct. and we sell more season tickets. >> we cut down a lot. >> president brandon: i have a question regarding the movement -- and i need to know. crane cove parked a agesal fund, is it in the report that you have given us or is it additional funding? >> it's already in the report. >> president brandon: i think that's my only question. thank you for the budget book. it came in very handy and i hope that prior to our next conversation on the budget we have a draft of the budget book so we can understand, you know, the numbers in the budget and what they reference better. so that would be absolutely wonderful. >> vice-president adams: president brandon forgot about me over here. real quick, on personnel, are we up to speed on -- i think gail talked about it a little bit. there's kind of like a freeze in departments on hiring when people leave because there are positions that need to be filled, right? >> ther

that was my main question. >> commissioner makras? >> could you elaborate on the mutual part of parting ways? wouldn't we want him to stay? were we unhappy? did we give him any notices? >> yes, we had prior discussions about his business plan. his revenue had been increasing. there had been some financial difficulties, he had regrouped. we had tried to maybe look at an extension, a plan to put in place. he decided really that he didn't want to continue on. we agreed, no problem. the lease expired and here we are. >> under our rent schedule is that the $3.50 or different? >> that's the minimum rent. for the minimum guaranteed base rent. the red is the greater of percentage rent or minimum rent. >> but we publish our rent rates annually. in that publication is it $3.50 for this space? >> the retail rates are not set by the parameter rent. the retail rents are set in the request for proposal process that we went through prior. so that minimum base rent is based on kind of our market understanding what a minimum base rent for space of thi

. >> commissioner makras: no questions. i support the motion. >> vice-president adams: check. >> i just want to say one thing. your words about veronica were beautiful. i've known veronica as anybody as long as anyone. and the fact that you are leave, i remember you from many projects. thank you for veronica and eileen's words, because sometimes we forget in the battle that we find ourselves in too often that they're really people's lives involved and veronica sanchez was a beauty. i mean, it was one hell of a lady. thank you so much for that. >> vice-president adams: tell us what is going on. i'm supportive, but i want it hear from you. sometimes developers come and staff makes a presentation, but you are a developer, i would like to hear from you. >> absolutely. thank you very much for the time, commission and commissioners. we have been working hard. i want to first of all say that the port staff has been extremely helpful and the delays, if you want to call them that, are not at the foot of the port staff. it's really p

>> commissioner makras. >> i think i agree with everything that was said by this commission. you definitely had a sense of your way but i guess we can just say we sit here and support it or we can get a little more active. so i would say -- [please stand by]. >> and then we, as the port could engage, the public could engage. but my guess is, my hope would be is that the m.t.a. has already done that, but it doesn't really sound like there's a full funding mechanism out there. i would suggest that we should have you guys come back, and we as the customer, 'cause everybody on the waterfront is our customers, and we are as the front row of the city. and this past election we had, one of the most profound statements everyone said is safety in a variety of different ways. and this is one of them and wrer and we are better landlords if we manage the streets, to everyone's benefit. and that's what we should pay attention to. and i would encourage the director to bring back the stakeholders in this and put the basis plusiness plan in fr us and then the commission could be proactive in
