megan was from port finance. i'm here today to give you an update on the fiscal year 2014-2015 operating revenue. just to start off, i want to point out the fact that the port maintains an objective, a strategic objective, to plan in a momentous stable financial future. part of the way that we achieve that objective is through preserving our funding streams. we really need to make sure those funds come in strong enough to cover growing operating expenses, as well as the our capital needs. then, prioritizing. there's also a critical aspect to ensure we are covering our capital needs. so, i'm here to share good news about our fiscal year 14-15 revenue performance. which looks promising for the ports ongoing effort to mirror a financial objective. so, back in 2013 i gave a presentation on a five year financial plan that identified the fact that we would come close to reaching 100 million in operating revenues by fiscal year 2017-18. at that time, the port commission took a leadership move and asked staff to prioriti

no port in the united states is investing more than the port of long beach in our $4 billion capitolvement program. $1.3 billion middle harbor term knoll is the port of the future. it's the greenest most sustainable container cargo terminal in the united states that can accommodate the world's biggest, greenest ships up to 22,000 20-foot equivalents or teus. middle harbor will strengthen our ability to compete against canada and mexico for the trade that sends cargo to every congressional district in the united states and supports a million and a half american jobs. the terminal -- this terminal by itself would be the fourth largest port in the nation. and it will boost the capacity for the port of long beach by 20%. long shore jobs at the terminal will also be modernized and will shift to technical occupations with long shore labor actually increasing over current levels when the terminal reaches full capacity. now, these advanced technologies will help improve efficiency and help reduce air pollution, but they will also demand a great deal more electricity. so how will we deal with

>> we are not a cheap port, i'll be honest with you. we provide a good service and world class experience and the cruise lines pay for that. if you recall we increased our passenger fee per head from 12 dollars a passenger to 18 dollars a passenger to help pay for the terminal and the cruise lines, they dopet like it but understood. they see the facility and they get it. but wree competitive market. san diego charges 6 or 7 dollars for a passenger on and off the ships. the [inaudible] cost are high. we are is good labor and they do a good job, but the cost are high >> your question of revenue going forward, i think you make a very good point, which i want to come back to. if you look on the table of page 5 of the staff report, if you look at the revenue debt suchbs, historically the port managed the cruise business to cover expenses and break even covering expenses not capital investment so we are doing that and then some as you can see. historically we would consider this a banner year. when the decision was made to proceed with this p

alone, a smaller some in the other port.t we expect therefore, is whoever comes in to manage these ports is going to pour money into them because both of them come with container terminals. that's where the real money is. not the passenger ports, those are loss or break-even businesseses at best but the container terminals have the most potential. the one that has been taken over already, has expanded 14 fold in the past few years. now my colleague, hoda was there recently and filed this report about how people who are not in the public but the private sector, which has suffered most of the layoffs have tried to take care of themselves create business for themselves and become their own employers. >> reporter: it's a model of self organization. a factory that was doomed if not for the engine newty of its workers. so it went from from producing building materials, to making environmental friendly soaps and cleaning products. >> translator: we were working with a lot of chemicals before so we decided to change. we wanted to pr

in 2012 the port of long beach started handling 14,000 teu ships. about the same time the new locks in the panama canal were going into construction, which can atom date a 13,000 teu ship. the ships we're handling now in the san pedro bay ports will not fit in the new locks on the new panama canal. we are customers at the port of long beach are ordering 20,000 teu ships. so it is very much a moving target. to our colleagues on the east coast they're already dealing with this with ships that are transiting the suez canal. it has to do with depth of channel to get them there, but once they're there dealing with how the ships are stowed and unloaded. and that is exactly the focus of our joint working groups is to figure out a whole new way to operate our ports so that we can deal with a very large amount of relatively unsorted containers coming across the wharf and hitting us in ways we've never had to deal with before. the question was what are the lessons learned that you could share with the other ports? >> the lessons we're still learning, senator,

would be less, but there was think it would be less -- but it is potentially an opportunity for the port to invest its revenue bonds, maybe some revenue bond capacity if we were able to generate based on our revenue situation today, we might be able to invest for our own account. or, we do more traditional put it out for a development project. what's different about this and some of the others is by virtue with fire and the reinvestment it it was made in 2012. this bring bring up the utilities other structures up to code so were not starting with a negative value we often start with. maybe this an ideal candidates for investing in our own account, if you. those are thinking a year ago. frankie, we have not moved but we've had these further discussions from seismic on the price. i hope that helps. >> that helps a lot. then, the, and for [inaudible] >> that's an excellent question. we need to do a little bit more thinking about what time of qualifications we want to be looking for 10,000 ft.2 space. we need to figure out how we make sure we get to the local -- we want to reach him desperat
