, i made a very short speech in valencia.thank you, valencia. that was the 33rd america's cup. it was an extraordinary event. it was a match between two teams. it was the best two out of three. we were very fortunate to have a wonderful piece of technology, created by a brilliant engineering team, a brilliant team of people, and a fabulous group of sailors. we were able to claim this trophy. now it is my chance to say thank you, san francisco. [applause] [applause] the trophy is back in the united states after a long absence, and we are very proud to be the team to bring it back. there were over 150 people on the oracle racing team. there are design engineers who can see the boat, and design the wing. there are people near seattle, washington who actually build the boat, and the sailors that are out there racing it. there are a lot of people behind the scenes, shore crews, engineers, over 150 people. it was their diligence, of their brilliance, their athletic ability, led by russell, that brought this trophy back to the usa.

bailey lives on part of this 101 valencia. i send e-mail to the family that had two children and lived at 63 haight st. i reached out to them and i have not gotten back to me yet. i left a couple of voice mail messages for tiffany liu, one of the people who was concerned before. she has not gotten back to us. we want to have a meeting with these neighborhood groups and with the people involved and worked it out. other than that, i think it is all in the application. this is right on the corner of new octavia freeway that goes out and connect with -- connects with oakenfeld street. it is a fairly noisy corner. our clients are going to have a food operation. the have a successful operation. this is good to be similar, with inexpensive food and drinks and deejays. maybe there will be some drag shows, etc.. my clients will answer any questions. commissioner meko: mr. renny, i thank you. no one else supports the idea of pre-application as well as you do. every client or venue you bring before us has done some out reach. let me remi

. >> i'm a member of the golden gate yacht club, and i was in valencia when we won the race. i heard a great question that you ask. what happens if we lose? i would like to address that for a moment. you heard the right answer from the port director, which is revenues, jobs, and improve port. but there is something else that happens if we win -- it is not like the olympics or the world cup. if we win here, you have to have it over and over as long as you keep winning. new york held it for 132 years. i do not think that will happen, but i think we may wind up holding this for a while. i would not bet against this team. i would not bet against larry ellison or the engineers he has put together who are the best and brightest all over the world, and i certainly would not bet against the sailing teams put together, so i really would not bet that we would not wind up having this for a number of years, each time having 1.5 billion or more jobs come to the city, but win or lose, there is another thing you need to consider -- the america's cup is the biggest sailing race in the world,

valencia is wonderful, but the race is four miles off the coast. in san francisco, you cannot miss it. we will be 40, 50 feet off of our shoreline. you have christie field, fort mason, the golden gate bridge, 20 piers, high-rise commercial buildings, high-rise apartments, angel island, alcatraz, you have the entire bay area to enjoy this race. this is a world-class city that has an of entrepreneurial spirit that we believe will bring the race here in the 21st century. this is a technologically savvy region. technology will play, that we believe, to bring the america's cup to a whole new level. reliable readings in terms of the wind, speed and direction. we will be inviting more people than ever have been invited to gauge. 7.2 million people in this region. that is three times more than the any of the three places where the race has been held. i know people always looking for a little bit more. we stretched. we believe this bid is not only competitive but will also preserve the legacy of the america's cup. we could not be more honored by being able

in valencia, half of all the races were canceled. by contrast, the reliable wins in san francisco, averaging 20 knots on a summer day, permitted a schedule of summer race days. reliable race days would present a media coverage, generate bigger audiences, improve sponsorship a dissipation and potentially enable more teams to compete for the america's cup here. lastly, our spectator from the course. by creating a spectator- oriented course along the northern waterfront and essentially keeping boats so they could not go below san francisco, we could have a media-friendly event, which would make this the biggest in the america's cup history right here in beautiful san francisco bay. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. next speaker please. >> i'm with latitude 38 sailing magazine and have been sailing on the bay and enthusiastic supporter of of course having the cup here. i just want to make note -- it has been noted several times, we know the greatness of having a championship team in town. sanford's is good giants just prove what va

similar regional financing was used in hosting the 32nd america's cup in valencia, spain. supervisor campos: we talked about america's cup and the president of giving away development rights, the value of that -- and the precedent of giving away development rights, the value of that to other host cities. in other sporting events we have talked about, we have heard about this in terms of the income and new job creation. this ranks pretty high. it is probably just behind the olympics, the world cup. do you know if in those types of events, whether it is the island before world cup, if development rights are usually -- whether it is the olympics or the world cup, if development rights are generally given by the host city? >> i do not know. as i indicated, we are not aware of any development rights being granted. i do not know. supervisor campos: a final question. i have some questions for the city attorney. there may be a different time to ask that. in terms of what the event authority is contributing, if you take into account what the city is providing, what they are getting

nonetheless, we were competing with cities around the world, and eventually it came out that rome, italy, valencia, spain were potential suitors. we went through a process unlike any other process in the united states. we even brought our own music that we are celebrating here today. who's adiradio is that? i am going to get you a new song for itunes. let me know when you are done. and there you go. we went through a long and very public process, as is appropriate for the city and county of san francisco. we heard from people who live in the city, region, state, people around the country about the importance of the america's cup, what it has meant to their personal lives, experiences, experiences with the love of sailing and the sea. we recognize this trophy is unique, the oldest international trophy in the world. in fact, it was established at about the same time the city and county of san francisco was established. we heard stories about larry ellison's youth where he discovered that passion for sailing here in san francisco proper as well. as we went through the process, more and more people en

the valencia local and regional government had a 16 million euro agreement.obligating the general fund directly might be a feasible way to pay for the costs we are going to incur to host this event. we landed on development agreement where we get improved assets and the team gets to recoup the cost that they would be investing in our waterfront in order to host the event. that is just to answer how we landed on that formula. those were my specific updates. i wanted to invite brad benson from the port to come up that directly affect the port. supervisor mirkarimi: mr. bentsen. >> and the special projects manager representing 14. i wanted to address supervisor avalos's questions from the hearing. and to talk a little bit about the jobw impactwwwwwwww ofwwwwww that displacement -- and to talk a little bit about the job impact of that displacement. that have the overhead display? that is too small to read. what i will do is hand copy members of the committee and talk to the slide instead. essentially, we're talking about is the 19-29 sheds, and pier 28. these are

by comparison, in valencia, the event was all built around a commercial area that was very lightly used, and when you look at the winter olympics, the actual events were outside of vancouver. it is very cold, so it is not like people are walking around the streets of vancouver getting drunk. people will be getting drunk and walking around our streets. and we have to be prepared for that. >> if i may -- commissiioner marshall: if i may, i did not want the full report tonight. i was hoping to get the report at a future meeting or lay this out on paper so the commission would have this out on paper so we could see your vision. that was my thought, so i want to relieve you of your burden this evening. >> ok, thank you very much. we will put that together for you. i would like to decouple the taser from this. i think that needs to be addressed soon and as a stand- alone item. what i would like to do is bring to a proposed policy that would basically be best practices, looking research forum and others others have talked about. i would like to book that we ask for a request for proposal becau
