we just moved off the central terminal last weekend and over to the west terminal. they have a bit more to take down in the central terminal, and then there will be pared to start back filling. we put new water in on freemont. water and sewer work progressed on first street. work also continued on mina. we also got the 4.3, 4.4 packages out with notices of receipt. the mission wall got started on january 4, the screen wall that will allow us to take down the existing screen wall which will allow us to do the final demolition and shoring. i wanted to show you the demolition plan over all but i know you are fairly familiar with it. we are continuing through the building section right now. the utility relocation plan, as i said, the 4.3, 4.4 packages will get going this month. 4.1 is before you today for your approval. the work on minna and freemont continues. that is the east terminal building as it is coming down. now they're starting the excavation of the basement level, preparing for temperature or wall to allow the complete demolition. that is work being done in e

you can see a picture of the last bus that left the terminal that day. the subsequent day on saturday morning of august 7, we opened phase one of the temporary terminal. last december we completed case to. -- phase two. we then had our ground breaking ceremony which was attended by the secretary of transportation, speaker pelosi, and other dignitaries. you can see a shot of that wonderful event. demolition began on the existing terminal on august 14 with demolition of the east flu. we brought on board a facility manager, linc facilities, who maintain the facility. we also worked closely with the transit operators and riders. we have had a very smooth transition and now we have completed the temporary terminal but we still need to install some more benches. we will be reported today the condition of the restrooms for transit passengers that use the tab per terminal. in terms of demolition, you will hear more in the construction of date later, but we started demolition of the eastern station. we have successfully coordinated daytime and nighttime closures

that's why you should terminate him. i would like to reserve the last minute and a half for rebuttal. >> it is interesting how he goes on how the penalty should be harsher fer officer lewis but he never refers to -- guideline and that is what this chigs should do. look at the guidelines set forth by the commission. all of these specifications, class d of the conduct. you will see the class c is misconduct. you cannot add -- add upon add upon any allegation of specifications when this is a first offense. officer lewis, in fact, you look at class d sks failure to vote entire time and attention to the sufficient performance of police business while on duty. the first soffs a written warning. for -- offense is a written warning. for failure to treat others with respect, the first soffs a written warning. it is not a termination. it is not days off. it is not suspension. you set up the guidelines. you're turned guidelines and you should use them. -- under the guidelines. he has been on the force for 27 years. since 1982. he h

the only reason he was not terminated was because the officer expressed a great deal of remorse. if officer x got a suspension saying he had been terribly wrong and was very sorry, clearly, you have to terminate officer hurley. the other officers have very little to do with her case. her claim of reverse discrimination has been rejected. the videos that they describe were never approved. the other video was described as a entirely different where he took some time off and made a very cute, fun, not offensive the video. the libyan entirely appropriate thing to do for retirement party. that is not what we have here. regardless of the issue, this video you just saw was a rule by in violation. all of those go to the fact that officer hurley has demonstrated to you that she just lacks the fundamental skills to be a police officer. it would be a terrible mistake to keep her on. >> your the chief of the department right now. are you on the appropriate pale to be in this case? >> the video stands for itself. there is nothing i can say. we request termination of this employee. >> i move t

in october 2009, cbs received the lease termination letter. here is the lease termination letter. can i raise this? the lease termination letter is dated october 2009. it again references the least number and is signed by mrs. ramos. if you look at that signature, it matches all the other signatures we have seen, including the letter to ms. lamorena, which matches the lease termination letter. interestingly enough, this letter does provide -- it states, "all my inquiries to resolve this matter had failed." that is not necessarily true, since her attorney did contact cbs, and that was the only contact cbs had with her or her attorney. it says, "i asked this company to remove their freestanding son from a property -- sign from my property." that is what we did. when we look at the appeal brief, if you look at the appeal brief and what ms. farrell provides, it takes the release letter and assumes she signed the letter. let us look at the prerequisites. cbs outdoor were not paying for their advertising sign. that is not true. there were just paying the wrong property because they did

the cruise ship terminal, there was an environmental study for that. >> that is right. supervisor chu: help me understand, with the terminal and the america's cup bid, given the intersecting locations, it makes sense that they have to go together, simply because they would be similar events occurring with mutual impact on each other. >> yes. two activities happening at the same location. you would want to do a cumulative impact analysis under ceqa, really looking at polls and how they work together. supervisor chu: does that mean that if we went out for a separate bid, the cruise ship terminal would have had to consider the america's cup anyway, and the america's cup would still have to consider the development work at the cruise ship terminal? >> that is correct. we think it is a much more organized process to have one prime consultant managing to look at those impact rather than two different consultants, potentially with different datasets they are trying to reconcile. supervisor chu: you mentioned what the internal timeline was in terms of getting environmental draf

free luggage carts in customs areas of international terminals. the financial terms of the contract remain the same as the current agreement with a minimum annual guarantee of $570,600 for the rental part in our domestic terminal. an estimated cost by the airport to smarte carte of $2 million to provide the free cards in the customs area of the international terminal. the reds payable by the airport will be 25% of smarte carte's gross revenues or a minimum and a guarantee of five and a $70,000, whichever is greater. the amount payable by smarte carte -- 2 smart card by the airport for the luggage kurds in the customs area is either $2.87 million or the actual cost of $1.27 per card used. this formula results in a net payment by the airport to smarte carte of approximately $1.5 million. the original contract between the airport and smarte carte was approved by the board of supervisors in 2002. this is our last option year on this contract. we will start a new rfp process to provide luggage carts at the airport some time in the spring. we anticipate

sides would be posted only to transit riders using the terminal. any passenger using our facility would be able to use the restrooms. operations would be monday through friday 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. the restrooms will be key controlled by on site personnel. linc is our property manager. they will implement a secure system so that the restrooms remain secure in the event of a locked or lost keys. the doors will be self-locking, so after someone is done using it, the facility will lock itself, only accessible with the key. if there is someone in the restroom and they are in need of help, they will be able to call out and the sound will be able to carry through the doors. and next to a security camera will be added to our current system that will monitor the entrances to the restrooms to ensure there is no one that is hanging around the front. security personnel will be able to monitor that visually and through the camera system. security, janitorial maintenance, and repairs will be the responsibility of linkec as part of their agreement with the

that will upgrade them and enable future upgrades to be of -- above ground equipment, such as the terminals on your desk, which allows that to happen. it would not be able to go on for the underground equipment. supervisor chu: this is a city attorney questioned. in terms of the relocation costs, is this an eligible expense for cops? ok. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? >> first and foremost, let me state that i work for the department of the interior. i have all the major certifications, including the ada. all of your representatives, all of you working through this large budget, ask yourselves, what are the chances of another representative being elected in the city and county of san francisco, coming into this chamber in a wheelchair? having said that, there are about 12 points in this area that need changes, the heavy doors, [inaudible] i mentioned that before. you guys are just going with the flow. do you think, today, with the dire economic budget that we face, that you can truly expand and over 4 order dollars is the right thing? if you do, tha

at the downtown ferry terminal was expanded in 2009 perry -- in 2009. people are looking for other ways to cross the bay. they have found that the use of the ferry boats may have increased by three times it is today. >> a lot of people who are looking for alternative ways to get around, people who walk, bicycle, other transportation, less people are driving. it is not just the price of gas. >> it is fun to ride to work and along the riverfront. we see that on the weekend. the promise not it is just full of people coming down, just walking along the waterfront, ride a bike, take a walk. we're becoming one of the most public waterfronts in the country. >> once upon the time, the boats would come in here where we are standing we know that because i have a photograph of that. my wife collects historic post cards of san francisco, and we have photographs of the ferry building with all the piers in place. the ferry building went through the 1906 earthquake. how badly damaged it was it? >> just the clock tower was rendered on safe or compromised. -- it was ren

the position shown in red is directly adjacent to the new terminal. the building is bracketed by the transkei terminal to the south and by market street to the north. we believe the thousands of pedestrians have experienced this part of our city. there used to be light industrial blocks. we think this is an important part of our city, and we want to engage them. it is not the biggest building in the neighborhood. it will be one of the shortest period -- one of the shortest period -- shortest. finally, there is a tall building for the transit center itself. it is next to the major transit hub orsetti -- or city. what you see is the typical office building footprint is about 22,000 square feet. the great part is actually the service corridor. around it is actually the perimeter of the building, so if you overlay the red, you can see we can really only get about half of the typical office building on the right. we have a building of only 15,000 square feet. if you use the center of the building to let it ring error in, and bring error from the outside in

the former international terminal closed 11 years ago.he completely renovated building is set to reopen in about two months. abc 7's transportation reporter has an update on the construction. >> you still have to use your imagination but sfo's new terminal 2 is supposed to be a relaxing, comfortable face when it opens april 14th. >> the airport environment, if you're comfortable and relaxed you're in a safer environment. it's easier to identify threats when the population is relaxed and comfortable. >> there is an emphasis or hydration stations for refilling water bottles rather than buying new ones. concessions will focus on local food, slow food and use all disposable plates and utensils. another feature demonstrating how progressive the terminal is, a baby changing table in the men's room. there are also two children play areas. the business traveller can work alongside the kids at ample work desks, even the gate seating areas have plug-in outlets at the ends table. the screening area has a removable floor to accommodate changing equip

we realize that there was some road work that needed to occur to make the road outside of the terminal stable enough to handle some of the actual weight that would be going through the new project. that is why you see this. that is one of the reasons why you see the increase in the modifications. your second question about the delay in getting it to the board. on there was a miscalculation. as i explained, we had a number of items, all of which were deemed pretty high priority which we were trying to get to the board for recess. the timing on this one was simply that i made a mistake. i cannot remember the last time that we have brought something retroactively. that is not usually how we do these. >> no more questions. thank you. >> can we take this item same house, same call. without objection, this resolution is adopted. >> item 18 approves the exercise of the last one year option to extend the option for luggage cart police. >> same house, same call? this is adopted. >> items not teen is it a resolution authorizing the general manager of the san francisco public utilities commission

we also -- fortunately, the city recently bid ceqa consultants' services for the cruise terminal project at pier 27. that cruise terminal building will be a key focal point of the america's cup event as part of the america's cup village. we already conducted a solicitation process consistent with the administrative code. we will talk a little bit about that process. we think there are additional cost savings associated with combining the work associated with the america's cup and the pier 27 cruise terminal. both analyses will rely on underlying studies that should be performed once, looking at both projects together from a cumulative impact perspective. there are potential savings of up to several hundred thousand dollars associated with that combining of the work. in addition, the ordinance would permit state and federal permiting to be folded into this scope of work. port and the city will have to do outreach for a variety of agencies that have purview over the bay. army corps of engineers, noah, the regional quality control board, through this process, they will make sure we are usin

in 2002, following the termination of the boondocks, run by j. kennedy, the port thought a new restaurant operator through the competitive bidding process. the process concluded in 2003, with sitting by as the highest qualified bidder. this lease was approved by the port commission august 12, 2003. the initial lease provided a term of 9.5 years, with an initial rate based on the greater amount of either the minimum rent, which at the time was $3,389, or 6.5% of gross sales, so the greater amount of the percentage rate was raised to 7%, as was negotiated on the second anniversary date. the initial investment that hi dive put into the premises was about $289,000, and it was completed in 2003. fast forward to 2009, hi dive undertook an outdoor seating area, outdoor patio to increase their terms or they're seeking in the restaurant, and the area is about 522 square feet, located on the north side of the restaurant. for the premises currently, it is under a separate license, and rent is paid on a percentage basis. the cost of the construction was $138
