the port would be protected. i think you guys have done that, but also to a commissioner makras and gilman, other concerns we've had is what about the rest of the leases with the restaurants? when are they going to come forward and say, me too and maybe this is a blueprint for us with them and maybe we'll make adjustments. somebody will say we know what you did for boudin. so maybe this gives us a good path to go down on how to negotiate moving forward. so i'm supportive. thank you. >> president brandon: jay, mike, thank you so much for the presentation, for the fourth time. [laughter]. but, no, you guys have done a great job from where we started to where we ended. this is absolutely wonderful. so thank you so much for your patience with us and for bringing this to us. commissioners, all in favor? any opposed? resolution 1834 has passed. >> item 13 a, informational presentation on fiscal year 2018-19, through fiscal near 2022-23, capital improvement program. >> good afternoon, i'm capital manager with the port fi

so the hoti existant or president in her day the port does a lot of stock any. of the flow of the humanitarian aid into yemen on the side that should be actually asked and called to stop its of an offensive is this idea that coalition has actually now is that i and to invade the port. is a saying that the operation is a critical step towards achieving a political solution to the conflict but doesn't bring this conflict any closer to a political solution do you think doesn't change the calculus of the overall war not at all i think the back and forth they just another attempt by the saudi in a coalition to bring them into the negotiation table but not really to find a political solution there to they're trying to put the whole nation on its knees actually not only the wealthy because. for anyone to have control or where a human tyrion aid channel is going to have you know the ultimate power to. who is feeding the people and the so if you look at coalition has a long history in the course of human war where are many reports really showing in evidence how they are u

of that amount, the port would receive about $220,000 on an annual basis. and the two points of analysis we included in the staff report relative to this item, in thinking about how this new service line could impact our existing tenants who run other types of bay cruises, for people who also want to get out on the water and enjoy the beautiful bay that we have. two points we wanted to bring up to the commissioners for your consideration are that first visitors to san francisco are going up. they have been going up about 3 or 4% per year each night in daytime visitors. somewhat of a growing pie of potential opportunities for operators who serve tourists, to try to capture more tourists or day visitors. number one destination is pier 39 and alcatraz, the fourth or fifth most visited among the locations that people want to go to when they come to san francisco. and the second part of the analysis i wanted to raise with you, we ultimately are supportive of the park cruise's concept as expanding our mission, to provide more opportunities for visitors and the pub

this will be a great project for the port of san francisco. and to havanyone come and invest $30 million in our pier is phenomenal. so i am happy that we were all able to work together. that, for the most part, everybody is happy. with that, commissioners, are you ready to vote? >> before you boat -- >> i'm sorry,. >> we are recommending two motions. the first would be to whether to approve the amendment for the resolution that they read into the record, and the second motion would be whether to approve the resolution as amended.

as you can see, the port earns $1.6 million, which is the percentage of rent. they pay us $500,000 base rent and another million dollars in percentage rent. so their success has meant increased revenue for the port and we'd like to continue to see that happen. the way the lease was set up prior, 40-year lease, but there was no options to extend. it was a firm term and then just expire. so through a lot of discussions with boudin and their management and ownership, they've really been anxious to continue to reinvest into the property and that's why we're here today. so as you can see, they are our top performer in the fishermen's wharf and probably one of the top performers in the city in terms of revenue at $27 million. it's very impressive. we have a fine roster of other tenants. nothing against our other partners, but they're clearly performing at absolutely magnificent pace. so as premises for bringing this item here to the commission, we did want to just rebehind commissioners -- remind commissioners of the retail leasing policy that was implemented in 2011

they accuse the saudis of bombing the port's cranes, making it harder to off—load vital supplies. he battle in hudaydah will lead to a humanitarian disaster in terms of food supplies. translation: hudaydah is a city full of civilians and it holds the main artery for all yemenis in the north and south. 70% of all humanitarian aid comes through the port. therefore, this aid will stop. aid agencies fear up to a quarter of a million people's lives could be at risk in the fighting. yemen is the country with the worst food aid situation in the world. more than 17 million people here have no idea where their next meal is coming from. many of those people live in hudaydah, they only have one meal a day. and with this conflict, with this escalation of the conflict and the level of violence that's happening right now in hudaydah, it means that many of those people will lose that one meal. yemenis have already suffered over three years of disease, food shortages, coalition air strikes, and shelling by houthis. what happens now in hudaydah will decide the course of this war. yemen has reached
