. >> and actually, this precipitated by the forest city, in the event that forest city, well, let me back it up with regard to this lease, initially forest city gave us phasing projections for the entire area, and so initially we are looking for a ten-year lease on this site. and then, they looked at it more closely and then, said, five and a five now, it is 58 months and five, one year options and due to their proposed development, they want to have the flexibility to say, we don't need all of it, we may need a portion of it, so that we want to, reduce it, and have you move off of the site. and so that it will not impair the development, but yet, still allow the port to have a revenue stream until all of the lease area is acquired by forest city. >> yeah, i understand that, with as the forest city is going to be ongoing there for ten years. and but, the other part of that paragraph is that it is essentially saying that when they move or have to move, they will get a space somewhere on the port. somewhere on the port property or in other words, they are guaranteed a space. >> they are

and development project that we are pursuing, with the forest city california. and we have got in the audience today, jack, representing the forest city, and also, we would like to introduce to you today, sarah, dennis phillips with the office of economic and workforce development, she is going to be their project director on the project, reporting to jennifer mats, the water front project director in the mayor's office. >> so, just in that, noting the hour, i am going to go fairly quickly, through this presentation. we the last major milestone for the project was the board of supervisors, approval of the term sheet for the project. and describing the general financial agreements between the parties, it is not a binding document and we can't enter into a binding contract with forest city on the development until after sequa but that was an 11-0 vote at the board of supervisors, a lot of positive testimony from the community at the board. and that, that completed, the phase one, milestones for the project, under our exclusive negotiating agreement. >> this include

and up to 5, 12-month options also, the extension option, and that is the call that the forest city will advice the port and the port in turn will then advise the tenant and as to whether or not they will extend the lease. >> okay. >> so, let's say, forest city and they are out of this completely and we had a lease similar to this. that forest city did not have anything to do with and they were dealing directly with the port and do you have this paragraph in the leases? could i ask the question. >> this is not a general condition in a poor lease and so this was put into the lease due to the requests from the forest city. >> for both of these. >> yes. >> okay. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. >> any other questions? >> could you tell me a little bit about how this lease is going to benefit the southern water front community benefit beautifiation fund? >> i have spoken with the tenant and i know for sure with regard to the lease 15690 as they have done on the site at 20th and illinois, they have put plants, and greenry to try to beutify the area, and i am not sure what is going to happen.

consultant work needed left to be done over the next 18 to 24 months for the port city team to continue to negotiate with the four forest city on the development of the agreement on the site, as a result, the port staff is seeking authorization to increase the term, both the term of the contract, and the maximum amount of the agreement with the eps. and all of the other terms of the contract would remain the same as in the existing. and a few comments on lbe participation. currently the contract has a 22 percent goal. and to date eps, has only achieved, lb participation rate of 19 percent. with the approval of this contract, amount, and the execution of the additional work as presently planned, eps will be able to exceed the goal, 22 percent by the end of the contract and the amended contract term. and funds for the additional work will come from the ports's operating budget and it will be reimbursed by the forest city as part of the exclusive negotiation agreement. and in conclusion, the port staff requests the authorization to amend the contract with the economic planning systems real estate connection by increasing f

and in their development. >> well the other one, so, when does forest city, project to start developing on that side? >> there are two parcels on the map. and there is the southern parcel, which boarders the nrg site. >> i am talking about the longer term lease. >> that is the longer term lease. >> that is where the current, you know, containerized storage operation is moving to, from that illinois, on 20th street, and in the current plan, they have put forward and that is in the fourth phase and it could happen, ten to 15 years down the road and however, what is happening now, is that forest city, is in a process of sort of reevaluating the phases, and the use, program, and that will be analyzed under sequa and so the phasing could change and it could change now as a result of that analysis and it could also change because the market conditions end up being much bet and her more sustained than the currently conservatively estimating and so all that we have are the current estimates and we will be back in front of you with a revised forest city plan before the sequa starts to give you a

the longer term leasing. >> is the current estimate that in the first five years, given that the forest city is in the development that they will not probably face that relocation issue but it could be the case after five years? >> that is right. >> okay. that is the summary, okay. >> and any further questions or comments? >> all in favor? >> aye. >> aye. >> and okay. resolution, number, 13-45 has passed. >> and 13-46. >> sorry 13-46 as well. >> thank you. >> item 10 a. request authorization to enter into a grant agreement with san francisco planning and urban research association ("spur") for the "adapting to rising tides: mission creek san francisco, california" project.

the wallow fire in arizona. we are involved in a project with the city of colorado springs and manitou springs and the forest service. there are several fire problems where we will need several fire solutions. if it were not for the problematic weather problems, it would not be nearly as bad. the overzealous fire suppression we have for many decades when we had wetter areas, that's a big contribution, also. we cannot overplay. it depends where you are at and it is different between chaparral and high elevation forests and they have different sources of ecology. it is important that we don't overgeneralize. >> mr. troxel. because there are so many different forest types and what's the right thing to do in a ponderosa pine forest is different than what is the right treatment with spruce. mr. pitcher referred to the monolithic forest on the rio grande national forest and that is part of the problem. there was so little structural stage diversity and that was because of the history of fire suppression in those areas and not taking the initiative and doing management to create that diversity and that structure. diversity
