the port doesn't own these pieces. and providing insurance, of course. >> we have an excellent communication team and one of the finest of any city department and i hope we push it out and elevate it because it's such a timely issue -- this is so neat. i always appreciate when we have this about waterfront and we really ought to as much as we can promote it and we want school kids and anybody to come out and see that. there's no waterfront like ours. i just want to say thank you and i'm a big supporter. thank you. >> thank you. dan, thank you so much for this presentation. i'm really looking forward to this art installation and i think it's going to be great. i'm looking forward to the ribbon cutting and seeing the tower go up. regarding the art, i guess i'm a little confused about what are port wide art program is. what locations are available. does a person have to go through the art commission to go to a location? when someone submits a proposal for an art project is it automatically accepted or how does that work?

i'm the port's executive director. i have a happy report today because i get to talk about two awards gim given to port staff. to first, the california preservation foundation, the cpf, has selected the pier 70 design award in cultural resource's studies. the design for development agreement was created through a long partnership with the port, san francisco planning department, mayor's office. economic workforce and brookfield properties and project team, including but not limited to site lab, urban studios, david baker architects, architectural resource's group. it was designed in the planning and history, as well as renowned architecture critics selected to look at various submissions to make their selection and i want to read to you from what they said about our design for development agreement. the report tackles a lot of issues. it's ambitious, ground-breaking. this work at addressing the issues what to do with places that have historic structures and need infill. it's less about the preservation of the history r

. >> good afternoon members of the public and port staff, i'm elaine, the port's executive director. the first item is i wanted to report on fleet week, which was october 7 through 14, where the port was a very proud sponsor of the event. it was exceptionally well attended. it's an event honoring our services. the city participated in disaster debris management exercise which dem felt was extremely helpful and important to exercise our own planned removal and opening of major roadways and also to process with our federal partners was very helpful. we also had several joint military civilian exercises as well as the parade of ships and of course the air shows. but what i want to do is thank port staff that put so much time and energy into making the event another smashing success. staff worked evening and weekends every week and much of their work goes unrecognized because they are behind the scenes making sure nothing goes wrong. so first joe riley and ken were on security. from the maritime division, we had our team making sure the vessels came in and were safe and secure aaron, bre

but also the links to the port cargo and industrial facilities, the road and rail and port facilities would be impacted as well. and finally, the number of the piers have stormwater utilities that run under the deck of the pier. and this would be a greater corrosion, tidal debris and inundation and that would impact the city's ability to let stormwater out to the bay and could potentially affect water quality. so in terms of next steps, we are working holistically to think about not just sea level rise but kind of all of our climate hazards through the planning work that brian was just talking about. we are moving into the sort of four, five, six of that. or at least four largely. so some of the other aspects we are looking at are resilience building codes and guidelines for both existing and new developments. how do we develop a resilient capital plan and funding program for what is going to take to make these adaptations. and then developing adaptation strategies, kind of at the neighborhood level. all this information i presented to you is really sort of internal city information t

this association, american association of port authorities has 130 members all public ports. it was founded in 1912. so it is the biggest association of ports. at the convention a long-term ceo kurt retired after 34 years. and we welcomed in the new ceo, chris connors who was a shipping and logistics veteran. the host city, norfolk virginia is known as america's first port. it is a settlement dating back to 1607. so it's rich with history in terms of the james town settlement. it is the largest naval base in the country. it's the sixth largest containerized cargo complex in the united states. president brandon and mic and i were very impressed with the tours that we saw. there's a robust shipbuilding and repair industry a thriving export and roll on, roll off and cruising. so really kind of an he can electric itan activeport. the conference is interesting. there was an excellent panel on coastal resiliency. there were other topics related to economic development and green port. we had an unparalleled opportunity to network with colleagues across the country. and we of course

it to the north of the port. if the study recommends a project to congress and congress funds the project, the federal government would pay 65% of the design and construction cost. we have the october throug locad plan which would be loyal funded. as we spent a lot of time at the last meeting, we think we need a waiver from the army corps of engineers to increase from $23 millio3million dollars$3 mi. it could be a project up to $1 billion. as a measure of that, the seawall is budgeted at $24 million for preliminary engineering and environmental review for three quarters of a mile, so we think we're efficient and we're trying to merge two effort. we expect that the waiver request would happen in spring of 2020 and that we would be talking about that waive i request when we're back in d.c. in october. so these are all of the items in the proposed contract amendment. i'll touch on the major ones briefly. so we are finishing up the multi-hazard risk assessment right now. the results are expected in spring of next yea

the port's primary d.o.c.is located at port 51, which we've learned is vulnerable in the case of a major earthquake. the court intends to use this funding to install fiber as well as purchase emergency radios and audio visual equipment. i do want to note that while the resolution states that the grant is retroactive the port has not yet expended any of these funds, and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. let's open this up for public comment. any member of the public like to comment on this? seeing none public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair fewer: and can we take this without objection? [gavel]. >> chair fewer: and madam clerk, would you call the next item. >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> chair fewer: and we have mitch sutton department of emergency management. >> good morning. i'm mitch sutton and i'm here to talk about the computer aided dispatch system. it's a system that we use for dispatching police medical, fire to 911 calls. this is an important system

the direct benefits to the port are the base rent increased to $4,000. the increase capital investment from the original $346,000 into the facility to $737,000 into the facility that also includes an expansion which doubles the seating capacity of the restaurant. so now that 737,000 is put toward an improvement that actually grows the business, creates more sales and hence brings more back to the port. the port will receive a 12% of the proceedings of the sale, which is approximately $63,000. the 12% was negotiated up from 10% originally in the lease. that was negotiated up from 10 to 12. and finally the port will receive $51,000 as a penalty from the original tenent for not completing the tenant improvements in a timely manner on time. the port is 100% in accord with the budget analyst report and supportive of it. if there's nothing else, i have -- i'll be here for questions and i have a representative from the tenant to answer questions also. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions or comments, if not, let's hear from the ble please. >> good

they are much harderfor the port authorities to check.ody inside the container, that is extremely difficult to identify. if it is a boxed container. it's difficult. the only way is to open the container or to scan it by x—ray. the security measures have been getting tighter and tighter because of fears this route is being used more and more. every truck is now photographed when it arrives in the port. cameras probe underneath, door seals checked for signs of tampering. it's all done in seconds — the aim of keeping cargoes moving day and night. uk border police are stationed here to help. in the dark, the migrants appear. when the port authorities sped past, we saw this group hide... then reappear. so this is exactly what the authorities are trying to prevent, to stop the migrants coming down here, using this as a route to try to find ways into the port in order to reach the uk, and that's why they've been cooperating with british authorities. but the tougher security at all channel ports means some are turning to smugglers to find a way t

rayed to check the cargo harbormaster peter difficult says the port authority cannot have an overview of what the trucks are carrying with xavier has a budget and personnel that would create massive delays he says it's good if you would be able to scan every single continue but where do you do that is it only in the port is that the only responsibility of the port or is the whole chain of logistic events involved in this i ask if he believes there are ways to stop the human smuggling and the deaths that often result but i think 1st of all we should do everything that it's possible to avoid and that's one main thing but of course we're dealing with connectivity and connectivity and they had always one step ahead unfortunately and if you tighten controls in the port then they will move somewhere else the local and national police declined to comment on their role in enforcing security i'd say booka. for now it seems that smugglers will continue to operate using this port as a key point in their clandestine and sometimes deadly industry. you're watching the news live from berlin coming u

regarding the port in particular do we audit the ports aspects of this bond? >> i'm from the controllers office. yes we do. we have the same authority on the ports project as anything else. i am looking at the schedule for audits to see when this may come up. february 2021 this group of park 2012 park bond will be in our audit sample. so it's not planned for our construction audit until then. >> okay. >> the authority is the same. >> okay. >> so i'm telling you guys because you're here that i'm disappointed that the port didn't show up for this especially as we're heading towards the sea wall bond. i would like to calendar the port specifically for our next meeting and ask them to come in and actually present in more detail about what they have said here. there are no numbers on here. again you guys are not responsible for them, but they need to understand that if they're going to be part of these bonds, by something you said earlier around the 2020 bond, i assume they're going to have projects on that one too? >> actually, the port is not going to have any pr

this relates to the port's resilience program. it includes the port has three active programs relating to resilience. there's seawall program, flood study which you heard a little bit from brad about and historic piers program within the flood work we are also doing a flood-proofing study to help set criteria and standards and guidance as it relates to how we can flood-proof our piers for the various levels of sea level rise and storm action. the rop provides criteria and guidance on seismic performance adapting to flood management and city flood protection. once we select a development partner, we'll be working with a contract management division to establish lbe goals throughout the phases of the project. we'll collaborate with cd to zyban design. the projects will need to comply with the local hirings. we'll do that once we've selected the development partner. as outlined in the waterfront plan, partnering for success goal, we did outreach to our advisory groups and neighborhood groups within the areas of pier 38 and identified

as down from the port to knows, this goes back to 2003 when the community gathered with the port and started a community plan. some years later the planning department stepped in even before the days of john ram and graham and that led to phase i. let's be real there was a little concern. rodney will remember, back in the days when he had the wax museum widening of the sidewalks was going to inhibit vehicular transportation here even though we all knew it was going to actually make fisherman 's worth -- wharf keep up. years ago they brought the f. line in here and that was a boom to fisherman's wharf and it is beloved around san francisco and around the world. after that, we expanded the sidewalks. fisherman's worth is the goose that lays the golden egg for san francisco. year in and year out. it is high time that san francisco city government reinvest so that fisherman's wharf will continue to be the envy of the world. $600 million in retail sales $250 million related to hotels millions and millions, 16 million people come here every year. thirty-nine is the number one tourist attra
