43 to pier 45. the first phase of the jefferson street, in the first six months of opening saw an increase in monthly sales for those businesses on the street by ten to 20%. and then also on the horizon is jefferson street phase two. shortly after this report was published in april, the city was awarded a $7 million grant from the state that has now been matched by city departments and -- by the city, sorry, and the city departments are now gearing up for construction that is expected to start in 2019. we also looked at private investments and how that can affect the public realm and the potential for new retail offerings. two of the projects in this slide have actually already come to fruition, beach street property and the hotel zephyr. we had visitors, local groups, stakeholders shared what they most like about the wharf, which includes the waterfront location, its walkability and people watching, the wonderful variety seafoods, restaurant, attractions, particularcally crab and chowder calls. it

the second pier iteration at 70, she worked on the china basin, downtown ferry terminal, pier 80, and public access projects at pier 7 and fishermen's wharf. veronica loves the maritime portfolio. when she left the port, she continued to work hard on our maritime portfolio. she peacefully passed away september 20. she is survived by her husband and their son. she started some time ago a volunteer organization to help women in her hometown in nicaragua. her family is asking that donations be made for the organization in lieu of flowers, www.ncfkids.org or do so through her, veronica sanchez scholarship fund. we offer sympathies to veronica and her family. she will be deeply missed. that concludes my report. >> president brandon: thank you. >> memorial service is september 28, 4:00 p.m.delancy street fountain hall. thank you, corin. >> president brandon: any public comment on the executive director's report? i would like to ask -- i know that the port is a sponsor of fleet week. can you share with the commission what the sponsorship activities may be? you don't have to do it right now -

for the whole pier, pier 49, along taylor street. that was my big project about in 2011-2012. >> and just to clarify, we evaluate the prime contractor. but they, of course, assemble the team that has the relative expertise. so there is a lot of sub contracting work here with experience with sewer repair and we collected them on the low bid and years of experience including a lot of city projects. >> i guess what my question was -- because this is very specific work -- i'm trying to understand since it's a general contractor subbing out, which has -- and we're also very focused on our l.b.e., etc., but do we evaluate the subs, too, to know that they have the expertise we need? >> yes. >> that's what i wanted to be sure. >> to answer your question, this subcontractor's california-specific, yeah. they are one of the sub contractors working on the taylor street. >> okay. so you know them. okay. >> commissioner makras: does the subcontractor meet the qualifications as the contractor? >> yes. and it is -- >> commissioner makras: same quali

[roll call vote] so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. >> commissioner wolfram: i believe that's our final item. hearing is adjourned. . >> i love that i was in four plus years a a rent control tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program,

said that his special events just like we are talking about with pier pier 70 in mission rock we would work with them. detailed design to make sure the connections work with the park. we are not relinquishing everything. we're just giving them the liability of designing and titling, permitting, constructing, maintaining and managing. >> sounds good. ok. it's exciting. it is really exciting what is happening in the southern waterfront. i would ask that when we do our outreach on the southern waterfront and when we have these large projects, that we make sure that the southern waterfront advisory committee, along with central waterfront committee know about these activities and opportunities. i would encourage the project to also speak to the southern waterfront advisory committee. so, as far as what we are going to get from all of this, what does that look like? besides new open space. >> that is what we have discussed today, as the new open space, getting relieved of the responsibility to maintain and manage it in the liability. plus, and improved and accepted city street. that is what

of pier 39 wanted to be here but could not make it. we wanted to recognize pier 39 today because they actually have started the skip the straw campaign ahead of our legislation here at the board of supervisors. more than 15 million guests come to pier 39 each year, so, as a city we really have that responsibility, or that opportunity to spread our message to visitors from all over the world and again, want to recognize pier 39 for seeing that opportunity and whether that is a message of love and acceptance of all or sustainability or stewardship and environment, that is something they have taken upon them now. so, the iconic pier 39, they have many merchants there, 13 full service restaurants, six eaterys, five treat shops, and all have reduced plastic consumption. out of the 24 places serving beverages to customers, 14 are switching entirely to paper straws, and many of them are also going to an on request model and providing straws only when customers ask for them. and pier 39 is also working with the blue and gold fleet and adventur

i love that feature of pier 39. want to thank all five of you for going through a fairly arduous process to fill out the application, but a very rewarding one for all the businesses that do it because we spend so little time reflecting on our history as business owners and we don't think about the future enough either, but going through the archives and pulling out the old photographs and refamiliarizing ourselves with our history and the generations that have come before us. thank you all for doing it and hopefully it will bring just rewards. >> any other commissioner comments? i just want to say congratulations to all five and i want to give a special shout-out to kent at ftc skateboarding because not only have you been there since 1985 but you have really helped with the neighborhood and the neighborhood merchants and helping clean up. you were out there fighting. i remember a few years ago, you were out there with the mercha merchants and that's what it's about, so i want to give kent a special shout-out there a

this is the cherry grove pier. an iconic pier, completely destroyed by hurricane hugo in 1989.rebuild then. the observation deck at the end was destroyed again by floyd in 1999. everybody here, shep, hoping that this iconic peeve will survive florence. despite the dangers here, as you can see, a couple of people still out on the beach knowing that they have a few hours before it gets really too dangerous to be out here. we spoke to one woman earlier today act why she was refusing to leave. listen here. >> we have to wait and see where the storm is going. i also think sometimes the news channels hype it up too much. >> we're trying to keep you safe. >> that of course, shep, is what we're all trying to do, give information to the public directly from officials so everybody can be as safe as possible in what every official up and down the coast of north and south carolina says is still a very dangerous storm, shep. >> shepard: it looks like the worst of it will hit myrtle at 3:00, 4:00 a.m. >> yeah, that is not long after the high tide, this is the big danger here, shep. the storm

you can look now at the fishing pier there. johnny mercer's fishing pier. it's the only concrete fishing pier in the state of north carolina. we've been watching heavy surf smashing against the pilings. the pier is rated to 200 plus miles an hour. it's hurricane proof. it replaced a wooden pier. it's the very early stages. we've had wind gusts in the 25 to 30 miles per hour range so far. it's clearly picking up. the waves in spells have been pretty dramatic against that pier, dana. right now it's a very quiet eerie sort of a wait-and-see situation here. it's not really raining yet and the wind is not blowing that hard but we know it's coming. >> dana: you've covered these before. does this feel any different? >> only in the sense -- look at the waves just smashing at the top of the pier. the difference honestly is that everyone has heeded the mandatory evacuation order in wrightsville beach. we haven't seen any residents. it's unusual that people would get out when they're told to get out. police have been clearing anyone off the beaches and off the streets

helps -- the development projects in pier 70 and mission rock are in the implementation phases. they will be going through extensive planning, engineering and construction activities in the next few years. the underlying agreements with the respective developers of these projects allow the port to contract a third party to support staff with officially filling their obligations. the port is required to review and issue permits and coordinate the review of engineered submissions by other departments and facilitate the purchase and acquisition of infrastructure. the scope of work under the proposed contract includes facilitating the interdepartmental cooperation agreement process on behalf of the port, review of submission with respect to the port's proprietary role in permitting, advising the port on infrastructure issues, and providing constructive feedback on recommendations, troubleshooting and resolving plan review comments. there is a detailed summary of the project scope and your staff report beginning on page 2. the project manager is here and prepared to provide additiona

last time we were trying to get an award for back lines pier 94. we will break ground here in the next week or so. it's going great. this is a really cool project. it is complicated but it really is going to look nice in the end. i just like you to know that i think you have an excellent team on board to do this project. we've been doing a lot of work since i've got here and spoke with you last time with the community. we understand how important it is to work with the community. i work with hal since the early 80s. he was actually my project manager when i got out of college. he is the kind of guy that has a lot of smarts. he can help with the design and short cutting costs, if that's what necessary. i've spent many hours through the night in the arizona desert coming up with some pretty neat schemes and ideas for projects with him. i'd like to say the team that we have and working under gordon, i don't know how you can do much better than that. thank you. >> thank you. >> hal stobbeer, president gordan ball. i came here because i want to make sur

selecting pier 31.5, which was supported by the port of san francisco and local stakeholders. the planning process took public input at several stages and included agency consultation about protecting endangered species, consistency with the san francisco bay plan and preserving historic resources. the economic benefits of establishing a long-term home for alcatraz embarkation is also significant, in addition to the direct return of rent to the port, visitors bring nearly $200 million to the city, in total annual spending power. almost half of which is estimated to be spent in the vicinity of the embarkation site on meals, shopping and other attractions. the nature and structure of the alcatraz embarkation partnership with the city of san francisco and the conservancy is unprecedented in the many ways. and genuinely enthusiastic about what the future holds. we are very excited to see this project move forward and know that it will be a lasting legacy enjoyed by millions of visitors. thank you for considering this opportunity. >> president cohen: thank you for your presentation

it's about financing the new neighborhood at pier 70. i'll try and keep the presentation brief, so that i can answer any questions. just by way of a bit of an update, there was a ground-breaking at pier 70 on may tenth. some of you attended that ground-breaking. we've been working diligently with representatives of forest city, the developer for the site. our sister city agencies, to process the infrastructure, including the new streets and parks that will be needed to support the new neighborhood. demolition activities are already under way and four cities started designing the first two buildings for the site. this is a very fast project for a master planned project. we need to move to these financing approvals so we can pay for the public infrastructure and public benefits in the project. so, as a reminder, the pier 70 special use district is a 35-acre special use district next to the dog patch neighborhood. it includes an approval for 1600 to 3,000 housing units, 30% of which will be affordable 1 million to 1.75 million square feet o

another important point is the pier that goes out there. are they going to have a rock wall under it so you can have a safety code for recreational use that kids don't have to look after each other. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> hello. i'm jill fox, a resident of india basin since 1992, and an advocate for the parks of india basin since at least 1999. you guys were still meeting at the lodge, and you couldn't find india basin on a map of the city. so we've come a long way, and as you can imagine, i'm very thrilled to see our park planning going forward. i am also the chair of the india basin neighborhood association, and we have generally approved this. we do have concerns. some were mentioned, but i wanted to make sure that these don't fall off the list. we are concerned about the lack of a dog area in all of these parks, and we need to confirm that. it was mentioned at herron's head but it's a really long way to assume that that's going to to be our community dog park. for the boat launch, we really want a boat launch th

we want to show you that pier, because this pier was actually destroyed in back-to-back hurricanes back in '96. those hurricanes taking the pier down, bertha an fran. it was wiped out, rebuilt in 2002. it's going to be a test here to see if it can withstand florence. the other major concern on the coast, the storm surge, as the hurricane pushes water inland for days here. abc's tom llamas tonight in myrtle beach, south carolina, where there is new urgency with this shifting track. tom leading us off. >> we are under a mandatory evacuation. >> reporter: tonight, the warning is clear. get out. >> this is not going to be a glancing blow. this is going to be, you know, a mike tyson punch to the carolina coast. >> reporter: the largest hospital in miyrtle beach racin to evacuate patients. many critically ill, some taken as far as florida. >> it's not safe to try to care here. we're trying to get everybody out. as such, we're shutting the hospital down. >> reporter: the reason? this monster storm. our station, wtbd, with the hurricane hunters, flying into the eye. florence's wingspan, 500 mil

anchored, disconnected from shore power because there's a likelihood the water will come over the piers, sailors are on board and the ships are running under their own power. the coast guard has designated four ports in north carolina and later for virginia condition zulu, ships cannot leave or come into these harbors, so those main ports have been closed there in the carolinas. we see as the storm aploechs, more and more things being done to safeguard the ships that are there and shipping traffic that goes back and forth. those efforts have been put into place and other military bases around. as you know, aircraft have been moved out. whether it's cherry point or camp lejune, they have been moved out. also marine corps families have been told they can stay on base, but also opened up shelters there and they've been told if they are going to use those shelters, to bring some entertainment with them and bring three days worth of food, so the military set the conditions in bases not only in north carolina but in the regions to be ready. we have an air force base there at langley and, of c

from nbc bay area's sky ranger, you can see what crews have already set up. >> those piers will be the last two to be imploded so this is basically the end of the entire demolition process. >> reporter: and some residents who often ride over the eastern span have already heard about it. >> yeah, i heard they're blowing up the old bridge, and i think they're using some of the old bridge to make the new piers. >> reporter: but not everything will be demolished. one pier on the oakland side and one on the yeba buena island side will be used to build parks. >> places where people can go out there and have science classes teaching students about the science of the bay and the ecology of the bay. >> reporter: caltrans designers realized it would have cost the same to build those structures than it would be to destroy the final two piers. >> having that trail is such a nice feature for the bay area. so, anything they do to add to it would be wonderful. >> reporter: those new boardwalks will be completed by next summer. sergio quintana, nbc, bay area news. >> that will be a cool thing to go ou

the question is, will that pier still be standing?ra: we're looking at this shot with you right now and if we're just at the beginning here, that will get a whole lot worse. griff, can you see anyone from your position right now? is there anyone out there? >> you know, i'm just taking a look. we saw a few people earlier that had come down that decided to stay behind on atlantic beach that wanted to see it. they got scared. we had a heavy storm an hour ago. it drove everyone out. really, the beach just to give a little bit of context, about 150 yards yesterday you could walk halfway down this pier and people were getting a last day of sun. now it's up to the dunes. they had storms 20 years ago and they did a land of sand reclamation to build up the dunes. there is no doubt these houses and front porchs will take a hit before the impact of the storm. look at the surge coming up. this is the kind of stuff that we're talking about coming up, the debris in the water and this isn't even the barely beginning of florence's surge coming. that

the main reason for taking pier one out of the scope of work right now, is that as they are planning for vertical developments, they are looking at utilizing the peer for the important assembly of construction materials and as part of facilitating vertical construction. so deferring the permanent improvements to the surface of pier one to allow it to continue to support vertical construction that has been moved forward. a few words on the basis of design report, this was -- we have a design review and design approval procedures that was part of the d.d.a., as well as the design for development documents. the basis of design report was not part of the process that was described in the d.d.a. but is an outgrowth of the working group that was formed following marilee's executive -- mayor lee directive. is applicable to the sub phase prior to the sub phase application submittal. largely it will summarize design criteria that were approved in prior documents that were reviewed by city agencies. the infrastructure plan, the streetscape master plan, utility master plan and subdivision regul

. $350,000 to a public art project at pier 27. and $330,000. so crane cove park budget lines were presented to the port commission at the last port commission meeting. so all in all, the budget continues to complete in february. we see strong revenue growth controlled with revenue growth supports $20 million in net revenue to be designated to future capital. and we see a significant capital budget in $74 million over two years, which is made possible by the growing dedication of port revenues to capital, as well as $18 million in external funding. that concludes the presentation. >> president brandon: any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner woo ho: given that this has gone all the way to the board of supervisors, it's not like we're able to change very much. so this is information, but just trying to understand the trend line here. so i'm not sure i understand whether you were showing us in the net change what you submitted versus what was approved finally. >> the net changes between what was appr

you can see how big the waves are behind me as they hit that pier which is called ocean press pier here. it is moving all of that water and all of that sand inland and flooding a lot of the streets and roads. here we're expecting 2 to 4 feet still of water in many of the main roads. and unlike what matt bradley was explaining before, there is still a 24 hour curfew on this island because the authorities don't want people walking around, don't want people driving around in this weather. i mean as you can sense just from where i'm standing, we are still feeling the effects of the rear end of the outer bands of this tropical storm. so we're not out of the woods yet here in the state of north carolina. >> all right. my thanks to all of you. again, in a few moments we expect to hear from the governor of the state of south carolina. we'll bring you updates as they come in. >>> coming up next, what will robert mueller do once the are russia investigation is wrapped up? who will he report his findings to? the justice department, house judiciary committee, how watergate prosecutors are helping l
