what did we charge the port for? >> i believe we have -- >> let's bring our numbers man up. >> thank you, chief. >> good evening. we currently have a work order with the port. the port currently pays for the officer of the fireboat, the pilot, and the engineer. those are three positions that are staffed 24 hours a day. there is an allocation for dry docking repairs of the fireboat on an annual basis. in addition, they paid for some fire prevention personnel for plan review, but also the court fire marshal, and the dedicated fire inspector for the port. >> okay. we don't charge the port, for example, there was a fire on. thirty-nine just today, coincidentally. we don't charge the port for our fire prevention services? >> no, we do not. >> okay. thank you. >> do we know -- i know there has been a lot of time gone into this, but i also understand there is an issue with this particular area because once fouled weather comes, we have to move our boats. is that still the issue? >> that is correct. during a king tide or a c

financially strong port. all of the work to set up the stable and comprehensive capital planning and budgeting system is a helpful thing recognized in the plan and the topic of a lot of deep discussions with the public during the public planning process. it is that way that they were able to understand the financial feasibility requirements and the necessity of revenues that has driven a lot of the discussion that we hope the policies incorporated will be instrumental in real change. with that comes the responsibilities for making sure there is an economic opportunity, equity extended to all sectors of our community, to make sure that everybody has a space at the table to participate in the benefits. transportation. a lot of discussion about transportation, congestion, parking, transportation demand management, safety, bicycles on the embarcadero. we had all of the transportation agencies participate in the meetings. the underlying concern for the port is that those relationships with the agencies are the mos

it functions similar to a lease, a port lease, commissioner hardeman is very familiar with these ports. good to see you. i wanted to point out that there are several different m.o.u. his you have the historic firehouse, you have a marginal wharf area that i was talking to earlier, that was a public area. you have what they call submerged land that is essentially the water parcel where the new facility will be built, and then you have two access points, vehicle access from the embarcadero, one for the engine that can go into the bay in the historic firehouse 35 , and then a new access point onto the ramp that i described that will take you down to the new facility. in total, there's about 53,000 square feet of land or land and water. i have a couple of slides where i wanted to highlight the main key terms of the m.o.u. the term is 50 years. that term of the agreement corresponds with the design life of the new facility, it is a fifty-year design life, and so that is where we pegged to the terms of the agreement. it allows for two things. it allows for the construction of the project th

why is this port so significant?underestimate the significance of hudaydah, the main port at hudaydah. 80% of food aid and food imports go through this port. if this port is compromised even for a day, the un says that yemenis will die. this is why the un is emphasising that this port is important for peace but also to the survival of people. this is the world's biggest aid operation anywhere. tell us about the humanitarian crisis in yemen. yemen is facing the prospect of a famine, it is on the edge of a famine, the un is monitoring it closely. it is an economic famine which means there is food but the yemenis cannot afford to buy it. if there is more unrest, more fighting, the fighting goes on in other parts of yemen, it will create even more disastrous conditions and will push yemenis ever closer to what would be called afamine. ever closer to what would be called a famine. tell us a bit about the ceasefire that is currently in place, do you see it lasting?” ceasefire that is currently in place, do you see it lasti
