it was tremendously successful generating opportunity and comradey amongst the port and a tour of the port crapes so many of us had our first walk above the catwalk from the port of san francisco we have several planter i want to thank them for joining us as i mentioned executive director ms. mirror and the awards she received and demonstrated as a leader in cappa as well as the head of san francisco that was the leadership that the port was recognized. we also had our cfo eileen and david and unfortunately or fortunately jim mellone who was one the leaders that organized the group was away on business in asia was missed. commissioner mike was really one of the initiateors of creating the group and lead the orientation ever the formation this effort and then also richard from the port of oakland who i've known for a number of years but i saw him in a different light he brought the group together and arranged an critical day and chris who was not able to be there but certainly sent his wishes we've referenced this but the california port authority passed a resolution with respect to the california lesbian, gay,

report and idea you guys have done great in bringing in the community it's a win-win for both of us the port and us. so thank you. >> commissioner adams. >> you know jack, i think about what happened with the america's cup when they had that outdoor entertainment and a lot of people came down i can see the same thing coming to pier 70 with their concerts or fairs or whenever there's a variety of things that can be done. i'm in support to bring anybody down to the port and give them the exposure of what's happening so thanks >> and i concur very excited it tides into the concept of place making you've been talking about i know i dragged several of my friends to the maker fair and they want to come back. they'll realize and discover this opportunity this provides an opportunity for many other is to discover this part of the waterfront and gain an understanding of the opportunity and what's available this is a great as you of space. i think brad in his absent and jackie and david i want to make sure that the port has an opportunity to have event her i thank you for making sure that's included i

the multidivisions of the port so that we cannot only brain storm good ideas but also get them executed. secondly, we are in the process of conducting an assessment of our water use by port operations. to make sure that we can identify opportunities for new efficiencies. and we have posted water conservation notices and adherence to the directive at all of the port's offices at pier 1, 50 and south beach and fisherman's wharf and sent out notifications to the tenants, we have rolled out a new car wash plan it typically use recycling, but we will reduce so if they look dirty they probably are. we rolled out the new plan and we actually had one of our new machines that cleans the sidewalk but collects the water and reuse its so we are not wasting as much water as we have in the past. we are looking at upgrading some of our wash racks to a recycle system and we are looking at low flow fixtures and we are looking at different ways to irrigate port, landscaping and talking to the tenants and others about how to conserve water. and then, we have explored not rather successfully, but we explored the idea that potentially cruise ships could fill up their water outside of

the port of san francisco. i really want to thank jim and peter for the meetings it engaged us to put the port of san francisco and we were able to put a working group together with the port of san francisco and i o w and role want to develop pier 92 and 96 because those are jobs. unfortunately in this world we will in we've got to compete but we have a very, very good port we have basketball stadiums and restaurants and a crews term maybe a baseball thing i don't know but i'll be leaving next week and go to washington, d.c. and was promote the port of san francisco i thought our trip was really, really good i'm going to save a few minutes for jim and pete we had dinner with the port of san francisco but if china they don't like to do conventions calls you have to have a personal relationship but they've made it clear sometimes you have to meet with people 15 or 16 times. we had a really nights dinner with the port of shanghai. they've will want to come over and open up a port. shanghai is the largest port in the world one the things i like about china i've said it here in the states we do a lot of talking in

. >> the cameras being used at the port have been there for an extended period of time. 's not new. >> the domain awareness center will be used to watch over surveillance of the port. it will be used to bring in all information in emergency situations. it will not include the cameras running in oakland and will not pinpoint areas where shots are fired. there's people who believe a center is needed but beyond the port of oakland and include the city. >> the police chief and the fire chief stated that's what they need to do their job to protect the citizen. >> one thing people worried about was data sharing. oakland city council said that's only allowed at the dak if they give first. >>> a new police training video issued by the federal government. officers need to be better educated on how to deal with man's best friend. >>> the three products that are dangerous but being marketed to children and ads in the stores are making it easier for minors to purchase them. tobacco products, alcohol and junk food are aggressively marketed to youth. that's the finding of a survey. >>

restrictions but in 2000 made alliance to law for the board uses promoted in the waterfront plan in exchange for a passage of public benefits that the portmmission committed itself to. i'll go into more details in future slides. for your general information those restricted land use rules were known as the 50 percent rule where if you had a pier that needs seismic upgrades or needed repairs and he did tenant wanted to go ahead and and make those repairs you would have to limit the new used to water ornltd commercial uses like hotel or commercial retail and limit it to 50 percent per area. the other 50 would either have it had been cut off and removed and turned the into public access. we found the years it was not a workable rule and made changes to those rules between pier 45 and channel. we initialing tried to look at it from fisherman's wharf all the way down to the channel but acknowledge able to get a package of benefits that eliminated the rule from china baseline and we've located those. those two parks are we we enjoy today now it will be with the woefr base it will remove dilapidated fill pier 36 and other piers. at east side of

that are being talked about being used at the port have already been there for an extended period of time. >> city leaders say the dac will be used as a central location to bring in all information in emergency situations alone all the ports cameras to be viewed on one large screen. it will not include the dozens of citywide cameras still there are people who voted against the dac center who believe the center is needed just be on the port of oakland and should include the entire city. >> i think this is where our police chief and fire chief rarely stated publicly that that's what they need to do their job to protect the citizens. >> any data received at the dac is only allowed to be shared with federal, state and government agencies only after oakland city council gives written approval. >>> people living in richmond's most troubled public housing are sounding off to city leaders and a community meeting. we've been following this on ktvu for the past several weeks. some residents say their apartments are plagued with mold, roaches and bedbugs and complaints of gone unanswered. the r

i have two comments one in the handout you gave us for the port wide objective we talked about the march presentation. how is water transport given we're concerned about the congestion on embarcadero and why not more attention be paid we should think about the embarcadero open the water and not only on the land and move people up and down. there's a lot of infrastructure to be thought through in terms of adding important taxis and water vehicles and not only in the east west to have suggestions and recommendations how the vision can happen in the future. that's more of the high-level one and i was reminded as i was walking across the parking lot i was crossing at the light and there were bikes that stopped at the red lights other went by. so on the waterfront i recommend we put signs on the waterfront if you're on a bicycle please observe the traffic signals. and the safety on embarcadero should be incorporated so my comment is a tactical issue but safety is something we should consider given the congestion and the cars and bicycles and pedestrians is on the rise. i in the baseline there

it talks about how the christie administration used the port authority as a political. ortly after being appointed, david wildstein walked into a colleague's office at the port authority headquarters on park avenue south in manhattan and gestured toward the window. you know, that used to be tamidy hall. that is a seat of all corruption in new york. waiting to be, wildstein added, and the port authority is right here. you have anecdotes like this and it does not do a lot to stand the stench, can you stand the stench? to stench the rumors about just how corrupt this administration might have been. >> reporter: well, look. it is useful to remember new jersey has a long, rich tradition of politics that doesn't exactly meet the common cause standard. but i think from christie's point of view, the real yardstick here is are there going to be criminal charges, is there going to be testimony that points the finger at him directly? and i do want to take a little issue with how you've crafted this, alex. you referred to kelly and stepien as team christie. and i'm not quite sure th

objectives which is to develop affordable housing open the site and use the fundraising for that to help with pier 70 pr since then, the port and office staff have been moving forward with the direction in the legislation. i'm going to briefly go into the proposed terms of the mo u. it's for 3 year period with 12-month extension. the 12-month expectation is subject to the approval of the director for the port as well as the director for the housing office. the lease structure is for 75 years. on the condition that we will be ref job tax credits. the mo u equally include the developer will be paying for the cost of the development so it covers construction and predevelopment and financing for the affordable housing. however, the port would be paying for the parking garage component as the parking garage is supposed to get done. the project approval itself the terms of the mo u the project itself is subject to public review and clearance and super clearance. prior to designating is the process to the housing office so on the port being the lead in issuing the rfp the mayor's office of housing will be issuing the rfp for follo

if you read "the new york times" piece out today about how chris christie used the port authority andal piggy bank, which has been done by others in the past, but it's never been put under such scrutiny. i think that other stuff is going to come out. and the lane closures may be the least of chris christie's problems when these investigations, plural, are finished. >> why are the democrats so quiet? i find it interesting that nothing has really leaked out of these investigations in all the wrangling that has taken place. normally the culture of stories like this, something leaks. oh, christie did know there was a text message, or somebody knows somebody that is on the committee. don't you find that interesting? >> well, u.s. prosecutors sometimes leak, sometimes don't. patrick fitzgerald, who prosecuted scooter libby down here in washington was notorious for not leaking. believe me, it caused me a lot of pain at the time. but legislative bodies, the legislative committees on the state level -- >> they like to talk. >> they like to talk. but they tend to be small. but it's smart for th

this is we really view the port costs and general costs differently when we look at the costs to the taxpayer the general fund is the measure but that cost could have been used for many things it's for port opportunity cost by using go the piers and staff f that's another maritime example but you know when the newspapers are reported that our shortfall had doubted conceptually no, it didn't those costs we don't disagreeable they exist but the city needs to be commended it's not an easy thing to do you can spend but to be successful we'll 0 assume were in the to $50 million range but we were not a position to fend off more costs but we did a nice job of keeping people within our means again, the last point doesn't bear repeating but we've got to go off the strategies we've learned but also i want to do the pie chart to mention a future america's cup cost fire department this is $5 million of general fund costs in different categories particle the blue and red the blue is regulatory compliance that will cover a great deal of event so my hope is that piece of pie becomes smaller. america's cup there will be more work to do but how to mitigate and permit this ev

the mayor casted atie breaking vote. it will be used as a central location to bring in information. it will be housed at the port of oakland and will be used to watch over surveillance at the port. >> the cameras that are being talked about at the port are there, have been there. have been there for an extended period of time. >> the city council must give written approval before sharing colllected data. >> facebook announced steps to tighten policy on promoting gun sales. it is seemed at preventing illegal sales. >> facebook does not process gun sales but sales and discuss takes place on the site. so. >> today facebook announced measures that allows -- it will delete posts that specifies no back group checks. >> they took meaning full steps to address illegal gun sales. >> mayors were happy about the change calling it overdue. i don't think drills should be able to buy guns, i don't children should be able to buy guns. there should be universal background checks. >> groups approved of any steps to block illegal gun sales, but some are concerned about the movement leading to a wider crack down on private posts.

the creek is bayview gateway. this used to be part of the port's working waterfront. today it's just an asphalt lot and brick building you see there is a fire station which would not be impacted by our project. what we propose to do is remove a lot of the wharf, open up the waterfront, restore the shoreline, and provide a pedestrian access and public amenities [speaker not understood], benches, things like that. here's the conception design. you can sort of see public pathways. >> can you talk into the microphone? thanks. >> sorry. this is the conceptual design for the park. you can see how the pathways and landscaping would integrate with the exposed creek. that is my presentation. want to thank the budget analyst budget analyst for their report and i'm available for any questions. >> colleagues, any questions? seeing none, mr. rose, can we go to your report? >> yes, mr. chair, committee, orphan page 11 as explained, on pages 11 and 13, the port proposes to [speaker not understood] 189,250 dollars and that's from the 2008 clean and safe neighborhood parks general obl

use of the site is a parking lot. it is in and near a historic district there's no buildings on the site at the moment. and the besides being used as a parking lot it's providing the port with $600,000 a year that translates to 48 thousand a month. in addition to the funds generated to the port that's significant funds for the - one of the reasons we're doing the including parking garage to continue to generate the fund. the zoning for the site is currently c-2 which is community business and it's tagged residential with other uses. the staff anticipates this will comply with the component that includes up to 1 hundred and 70 so 2 hundred sense housing units. the commercial exponent of the royalty component will be small between 2 thousand a 5 thousand square feet along with the parking the proposed parking garage. the connection between the site on pier 70 is what i'm to talk about next. as part of the event to find the funding to address the funding of pier 70 back in 2011 staff approached the park examination as well as the community groups to said they come up with a strategy that they need to approach the commission and state lovers to find legislation that will a

see comes out of the seven years of planning that was initiated by the port through their 3 year master planning process and picked up by us. and what you'll actually see came out of the input and feedback in particular we've had the benefits of many ways of communicating with the community in the special events that have enabled thousands of people to energy act. the framework for this parks concept is the land use plan that was came out of the process that was endorsed unanimously by the board of supervisors last year that came out of the work that was done with the city family team including the planning department and all the other action that were involved and had a mix of office used and residential uses what we call creative small-scale manufacturing and, of course, bound together by the waterfront parks network. and in particular we're focused on the ground floor what's happening in the building connects to the narcs a way that activates those open spaces so they become the postindustrial environment we've heard from folks on pier 70. of course, open the upper floor is the offices and the revenue jason uses that su

closely and one of the things that strikes me is the abuse of power from the port authority and the .mount of money apparently the use of the port authority police force as part of the whole bridgegate , the lack of and reporting speaks for itself. i think there is much more to the story and obviously we are very struck by the use of the port authority police force in the matter. i don't think that has been truly investigated yet. i think there is a lot more to the story. it's still just at the beginning of the investigation. we will go to our republican line in tennessee. frances is waiting. thank you for calling "the washington journal." caller: i think this is a new jersey story that mostly people were inconvenienced than anyone else. able have been fired. i have been waiting for you all to cover harry reid and his having to pay back money that he has given to his granddaughter. and the mayor of north carolina, charlotte, north carolina, i keep winning for you to cover that. i am waiting for the state senator in california to be covered. there have been plenty of scandals around the country. it seems like there is

the u.s. imports a lot of oil. it plays an important role. david ariosto joins us at the port city of peurto cabayo. how is oil playing a role in the crisis right now? >> like you said, we are in peurto cabayo, 200km west of the capital. it's areas like these where venezuela derives a majority of wealth. in places like these, they we are setting the top for what is next in the crisis. and as situations unfold across the country. venezuela maintains some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world. the stakes are high. >> venezuela is the fourth-largest supplier of crude oil in the united states. because venezuelan doesn't have enough domestic refineries an unlikely partnership has emerged in the united states and the south american nation, relying on crude exports and gasoline imports to keep the the economy humming. >> years ago, under chavez, when he is talking about our president being the devil or some of these rhetorical position, the bottom line is it's the market. >> 8% of imports comes from venezuela, coming from 1 million barrels a day. they processed venezuela crude, adding american j
