Getting to zero h. I. V. Infections in San Francisco. I am just really delighted that we in San Francisco, since the 1980s, have been at the forefront of pushing for innovative ways to change policies, new sciences and technologies to help us get to this milestone that we are so excited about today. We are showing progress, real progress, in fact. In 2018 for the first time ever, not only have we dropped diagnosis by 13 , but we have finally seen this number go below 200 for the first time ever. That is significant. [ applause ]. Mayor breed its progress that we should all be so proud of. This shows that when we Work Together with the community, with our policy makers, with our Public Health experts, our nonprofits, we can truly make a difference and save peoples lives. Im particularly proud of the department of Public Health. They continue to show their commitment to innovative and groundbreaking health solutions. I also want to thank ucsf and getting the goal coalition and all of those with us who continue to show their commitment to addressing this issue as well. Even though weve reached this incredible milestone here in our city, we know that there are still disparities that exist, specifically by race and ethnicity, by age, by gender, and, sadly, by housing status. These disparities highlight the work we have to do to continue to get to zero and really trying to remove the barriers, the stigma, the discrimination, so that we can truly end new infections, which is our ultimate goal. In fact, in 2018, africanamerican men had the highest diagnosis rate. Africanamerican women also had the highest diagnosis rate. Fighting this should be our focus and we are taking steps to do so. This week the department of Public Health will launch a competitive bid process where we will allocate 8 million in additional funding to Community Organizations primarily serving the africanamerican, latino, transgender and substanceuser communities in order to strengthen the work that we are already doing. [ applause ]. Mayor breed we have programs right here at ward 86 that others will talk about to really continue to help those that, sadly, we know are homeless. Just last week, we announced our new initiative to help those suffering from Mental Health and addiction who are homeless on the streets. This initiative, our heal our city initiative, will help us to serve, treat, and house those living with h. I. V. And help prevent new h. I. V. Infections. Again, i want to thank everyone here today who is doing work, including dr. Graham cofax who has been an advocate and working in this field for so many years, your incredible leader of the department of Public Health. I want to thank the positive Resource Center for their work. The San Francisco aids foundation which had an incredible event and continues to raise money to invest in this effort. The transgender law center. Aids legal referral panel. The lgbt center. All of the leaders of the getting to zero coalition. Your work is truly appreciated and the value of what you do makes a real impact, as we can see by the numbers that were presenting here today. It is something that we should be proud of. And yes, the work and the investments will continue to be made. This is a milestone for our city. I want to thank each and every one of you for your work and advocacy to get us to this point. With that i want to take this opportunity to introduce a champion in this effort. This and so many other issues that we need to address in San Francisco around Mental Health reform and others, supervisor Rafael Mandalman has been an incredible force in addressing this issue as well. The supervisor for ward 8, supervisor mandalman. Thank you, mayor breed. Thank you for your tremendous leadership on this and so many other issues. As i walked in today, i had a couple of thoughts. One is every time i walk into ward 86 i get a little bit ver clempt because of the amazing work that has been done here for decades and then the amazing work that continues to be done to chart a new path to actually get us to zero. I am such a fan of dr. Gandi and of all the folks who gave me a tour early this year or last year, i dont remember when it was. This is an extraordinary place. Walking in here and seeing this collection of the citys Public Health talent, i am just we are very, very lucky. [ applause ]. Yeah, they deserve some plaza for the work they do each and every day to keep this city healthy and make it healthier. This report has fantastic news. Dropping under 200 reminds me a little bit of 20 years ago, 21 years ago at this point. I am old enough, as some of you are as well, to remember when the bay area reporter had its first no abyss issue. Now we are trying to get to the next step of no deaths and no new infections. To the folks who conceived that several years ago and have been pushing for that goal, i want to extend profound thanks and congratulation on the success that weve made. Some of the data i mean, my aide got me some of the amazing statistics. Overall in the city, 94 of the People Living with h. I. V. Are aware of their infection. That is an extraordinary number. That is not true in the rest of the country. You know, there were no children under the age of 13 were diagnosed with h. I. V. Since 2005. Babies are not being born with h. I. V. In this city. That is an extraordinary accomplishment. We are getting people tested. We are getting folks into treatment. That is how we got closer and closer and closer to zero. That leaves the bad news in the report that were going to hear more about, which is the persistent challenges and, in fact, the increasing rates of infection among africanamerican, latin max, folks on the street, folks struggling with Substance Use disorder, and Mental Health issues. I want to thank dr. Cofax and mayor breed for the creative thinking they have brought to that issue. We know we will not get to zero until we get a handle on really getting care to the folks on the streets who are living with so many challenges, who you see every day in ward 86. I think what the mayor has recognized thank you, madam mayor for recognizing it it is going to require crossdepartmental collaboration, nonprofit government, private actors all working together to really solve these challenges. Everybody can do their part. Here at ward 86 youve come up with a popup, Innovative Program to give folks the care they need. They dont have to make the appointments. They come in and youll wrap around them and give them everything you can in each of those encounters you can. Monica gandi moved out of this ward, so im not happy about that. Im happy youre still in San Francisco. All of you who have gotten us to this milestone and going to get us to zero, thank you so much. [ applause ]. Mayor breed thank you, supervisor mandalman. Now to talk a little bit about the report is the director of the department of Public Health, dr. Grant cofax. Thank you all, today. Its great to be back in ward 86. I worked here for over a decade and im looking forward to returning to the clinic to be a clinician as well. I experienced, as with many of you, the grief and the sadness and advances that weve made with h. I. V. I started as a medical student and weve seen the progression that weve made and the progress thats been accomplished. Whether youre a community provider, a clinician, a researcher, a member of the press, i think the legacy teaches us that it takes a collective vision, a collective effort. Prioritysetting, and understanding what are the priorities in the system to help us do better. Thats the San Francisco h. I. V. Model. Thats our homegrown model that got us here today with h. I. V. It will get us to zero. Getting to zero has the departments full support going forward. I think as importantly is the San Francisco model for what we do with h. I. V. Will also be the model for how we address what may seem like intractable Health Problems today. Think about where we were 20, 25 years ago. Think of where we started. Who would have thought were getting below 200 . We still have much more work to do. We must be bold. We must be innovative, both and h. I. V. And with Mental Health and with Substance Use and with addressing the intersection between health and homeless. Speaking of both vision and innovation and getting us to where we need to be, one of the key people in this city whos doing groundbreaking research, dr. Hyman scott of the Public Health department. Dr. Scott. [ applause ]. Thank you, grant. Thank you for inviting me to say a few words about some of the work that were doing, and the focus on really addressing disparities in our epidemic in San Francisco. Im a clinician here at ward 86. I came to San Francisco because this was the model of how you take care of people as they come. I think our focus on disparity has to focus on ensuring that we reach people where they are and that there are no hardtoreach populations. There are just hardtodeliver services and we need to rethink the way that we approach some of those services. I think popup is a great example of that. Some of the other street medicine and other opportunities to expand prep and treatment outside of the four walls clinics. Although my focus has been on prep and weve seen overall increases in prep use and continuation in San Francisco, we have seen lower rates uptake among black m. S. N. , for example, 10 in other race and ethnicities. In 2017, that was the case. In 2018, it does look like that gap is closing. Weve also looked at some of our data across our primary care clinics. It does appear when people start prep, they dont always stay on prep. The average duration on prep is eight months, despite continuing risk for h. I. V. Acquisition. We take care of individuals after they have been on prep and stop prep. Some of the barriers people have are related to access, costs, insurance changes, perceptions of risk, and discrimination. I think we really want to support people as they initiate prep in their communities, with their providers, to ensure that people who want to access prep can stay on prep. We also have a focus in ensuring that the systems in which people receive care particularly for prep and treatment are affirming places and that we address the structural issues, including Structural Racism that a lot of our san franciscans are experiencing in the health systems. So were really excited about the opportunities of these new efforts to really address these social determinants of health which are driving many of these disparities and preventing us from closing those gaps. I think if any city and jurisdiction in the country can do it, we can do it here in San Francisco. Thank you. [ applause ]. So thank you, dr. Scott. I just want to emphasize the focus on health equity. We must make sure we drive down the inequities that were seeing in San Francisco. Its been a privilege to serve under mayor breed and this is a priority of the Department Going forward. I also know we cant do this alone. The Health Department is a key piece of this work, but it also takes partnership. One of the great things of San Francisco is the partnership weve had historically with ucsf. Its my great honor to introduce a leader, an internationally known leader in h. I. V. Research. She really brought the model that was being used internationally and successfully. I was able to be part of those early conversations about whats going on locally and how do we turn the tide locally . What do we need to do . I think that key commitment of ucsf and the key commitment of professor Diane Havlier in her team, making sure were looking locally, she has been an amazing advocate. A key supporter of getting to zero. Shes going to talk a bit about her vision today. Thank you. Diane havlier. Its an honor to be here today. Im going to be talking on behalf of getting to zero. What is that . That is bringing people together from different sectors and communities with a common goal of ending the aids epidemic. It is built on the spirit of San Francisco because it requires collaboration, volunteerism, and action. So the report that came out just a few minutes ago is our report card. It is how are we doing in getting to zero with our goal to end the aids epidemic in our city. One of the logical questions is, what is the getting to zero contortiums response to the report . Many of the members of the Steering Committee here, we want to share with you our reaction to the report. We are pleased, but not satisfied. We are pleased because we broke the 200 barrier. Just to say that in San Francisco over the last five years, new h. I. V. Diagnoses have gone down over 50 . I dont know if you know this but in the United States it has become completely flat. We are pleased because people are starting treatment earlier. Many of them on the same day with a program that was pioneered in our ward 86. A couple of years ago this was simply unheard of. We are pleased because people from all around our country, all around the worldcom come to San Francisco and to this ward to find out what were doing and how we get results. What starts in San Francisco doesnt stay in San Francisco. We are not satisfied. Im just going to go back to the 200. Were not satisfied because we nearly had nearly 200 diagnoses of h. I. V. In our city, and its a preventable disease. Were not satisfied because of his disparities. Youve heard africanamerican h. I. V. Infected male, his mortality is more than half that of his counterpart. We have many disparities. Getting to zero, were making the strategy. What are we going to do about it . So lets start with we have a double down on these gaps that were seeing. What we need to do that is we just need to listen. Thats one of the things in getting to zero, we convene people together, put the problems out there, have multisector discussions how are we going to work on this. We need to listen. We need to deploy new innovative approaches with tools that we have like prep. And longacting injectable therapy that could make it easier for some of our populations. And finally, the biggest challenge we are going to partner with the Mayors Office and all areas of San Francisco with the structural barriers to care. We know what those are, inadequate, gaps in housing, Mental Health services, and for Substance Abuse. Thats what were going to do. Ive been working in h. I. V. I came here in 1984 committed to the aids epidemic for decades. It is a conniving and very successful virus. I know that we can reach our goals. I just want to put forward for us who have been working in h. I. V. For decades, these are the questions of our time. Should we invest to end the aids epidemic . Can we end the aids epidemic . Will we end the aids epidemic . On behalf of getting to zero, our answers are yes, yes, and yes. We think we can do that because were San Francisco. Just look around here because were in it together. So thats what i wanted to share with you on behalf of getting to zero. So now id like to turn the podium over to colleague dr. Monica gandi who is the director of ward 86 and one of the huge structural barriers that were addressing is the Homeless Population and monica is going to talk about popup. [ applause ]. Its really an honor to be here. Just to tell you a little bit about the history where youre standing right now. We opened ward 86 in january of 1983. So this is the oldest h. I. V. Clinic in the country. Then across the street simultaneously opened an inpatient ward 5 b and 5 a. And many innovations in h. I. V. Care have come from this clinic. So a lot of the investigational therapies in the 1980s and 1990s were tested here starting way earlier than the rest of the country and the world. A rapid program, as diane mentioned, and a prep program. We know that many elements that are key to success for People Living with h. I. V. Are challenging if you dont have a place to live. That would be making and keeping appointments, particular set of appointment times, where do you store your medications and keep them safe, that theyre not stolen, safe sex, healthy eating. All of these barriers are amplified 100fold if you dont have a home. In addition to all these treatments we have here, we started the popup program and that was in january of this year. Im going to tell you about the popup program, but mention one statistic from this report that was released a couple of minutes ago thats so relevant to the popup program. Among people who are homeless living with h. I. V. In this city, the goal of therapy is 34 and among those who have homes is 74 . That is tremendous in terms of virulogic suppression. We aim to reduce that discrepancy in virulogic suppression rate. People who are living with h. I. V. And homeless are 27 times more likely to die than those who have homes. What does popup do . The people who were coming here were not just coming for the appointments, but for urgent care and to get food or to be warm for a minute or to come in for a minute. The idea was to have a popup clinic form around this clinic. Its like a popup restaurant where it is care that is designed especially for them. The popup clinic is composed of two or three designated m. D. Providers, a doctor, social worker, nurse, and nurse manager. It is a Certain Group of people who pop up around the patient, provide primary care, vaccinations, provider vouchers, food, warm clothing, hygiene kits. All of that is done in the context of no appointments. It doesnt make sense to have a tuesday, 3 00 p. M. Appointment, when youre living in an encampment. They can come any time of the day. If theyre a member of the popup clinic, our group forms around them and does this tenderloving care. It has been successful so far, and i hope to tell you about that in a later forum. There is no way that reaching this last 10 and these last 197 people and reaching the group that we need to reach isnt going to be resource intensive. It is resource intensive. But its worth the resources to bring all the innovation and care to this last group of people who need it. We hope its going to be effective and well tell you more about it later and thank you for supporting popup in ward 86. Mayor breed again, thank you to all the incredible nonprofit workers, organizations, and the folks right here at ward 86 in general for your hard work and commitment to get us to this point. Really proud of the work that you have done and also appreciative of the fact that you recognize that we need to be more deliberate in how we target specific groups that are disproportionately represented in these new numbers. We still clearly have work to do, but i do want to celebrate and appreciate the milestone set here today, because the fact is we got to a place that was not someplace that anyone ever thought was possible. Just like getting to zero, people were thinking, is that really possible . It is possible because of the work and the investment and what were planning to do right here in San Francisco. I cant think of better city to lead the way in this effort, and im positive that we will get to zero. Thank you all so much for joining us here today. [ applause ]. We just started in january. So at this point there is about 65 patients in the program, and we need to reach about 180 to 200 in our own clinic, let alone anyone who is homeless living with h. I. V. That we would like to reach with popup. Still a ways to go. Were doing this on a shoestring budget. [ indiscernible ] they did not change at all essentially. Last year was 33 and 70. We havent made that dent yet, yeah. Thank you. I meant to say that. So we had this goal of 90 reduction in five years, around 2020. So when we started, somewhere around 300. We have to get to 30. So we are the climb is going in the right direction, but in order for us to continue, were going to have to address what everybody talked about today. I want to emphasize, in the United States it really is shocking that the curve is flat. Okay. Thats because there hasnt been the investments and the innovation that weve been making here. [ indiscernible ] we will try. [ laughter ] [ applause ]. [ indiscernible ] so i think that you have heard during this press Conference Many of the themes from all the speakers, okay. So we have to be able to deliver care in a way that addresses the cultural the disparity that we have in population. Thats number one. That intersects with three things that i know the whole city is working on. Housing shortages, Mental Health services, and Substance Abuse services. I probably think wed all probably agree those are the main things we need to do going forward. [ indiscernible ] thank you for that comment. I just want to emphasize that the San Francisco department of Public Health shares the concern about providing traumainformed care. Thats been a commitment for a number of years. We strongly believe that you cant fully address someones h. I. V. , Substance Abuse, Mental Health issues, or in some cases their life on the street to get them into shelter or Navigation Center or housing without bringing a traumainformed approach to care. Thats a key part of what the department has been working on. Weve actually trained over 8,000 people in the departments and some Community Providers in traumainformed care. I also want to link the broader question of how do we approach the disparities in h. I. V. Infections. If you look at the Mental Health, Substance Abuse, the housing inebbingiquities, this about the system. If you look at the focus on the 4,000 and the same principles and issues around inequities, the same focus on data and driving down the numbers, it takes hard work. Sometimes we think, oh, there should be some fancy fix overnight and we should be able to reach into the sky and bring something. This is a 30year path for h. I. V. If we focus on the populations that matter the most. Invest in those resources, follow the data, and bring collective effort forward, we will be further ahead. We will be closer to zero, but also making progress in those tracks. Thank you. [ applause ] pledge of allegiance . Cell phones, pagers and Electronic Devices are prohibited.

Seeing none, ok. Item on the consent calendar, for members to travel to norfolk, virginia on september 13 to september 16 to attend the American Association of port authorities annual convention. So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on the consent calendar . All in favour . Resolution 1934 has been approved. Requesting the agreement with specific cycling incorporated, two california facilities as Foreign Trade 3 subzone for a term of five years with three options, the extent for five years each and outlining the conditions for the operation of the use its driven. Good afternoon, president brando. Im requesting approval of a Foreign Trade zone operators agreement with specific cycle. I want to provide some background on the Foreign Trade Zone Programme and the history with the port. Foreign trade zone act was signed into law in 1934 by president Franklin Roosevelt to stimulate trade while mitigating against the nex negative of frao keep economy in the United States. A Foreign Trade zone or ftz, is a designated area considered to be outside of u. S. Commerce, allowing for benefits around duties and tariffs. The programme is administered through the ftz board by grantees like the port of San Francisco. It is important to note that when the programme started, Foreign Trade zones were brick and mortar locations at the port of entry. With the changes in international shipping, such as containerrization, the programme shifted to an alternative site framework. This allows grantees to expands their service area and for private entities to activate an ftz at their own location which no longer needs to be directly connected to a port of entry. The ftz board and u. S. Customs are wholly responsible for compliance and oversight of the operators which allows the grantee such as the port to offer this public utility to all of those that have been vetted by those two approved government agencies. The port of San Francisco was given grantee status for Foreign Trade zone number three in 1948. We were the third Foreign Trade zone in the programme behind new york, which was Foreign Trade zone number one and new orleans, which is Foreign Trade zone number two. The ports Foreign Trade zone originated on one of the ports piers before the change to the alternative change sitework in the early 2 thousands. 2,000s. It was to include five additional bay area counties. The port currently has five active ftz operators and users, all of which are within the expanded service area. Each operator pays the port and annual fee to cover the ports administrative coast. The port has no oversight responsibility on the actual Foreign Trade zone operation. The specific sickishly a global manufacturer and distributer and in january of this year, they reached out to port staff requesting to activate their california Distribution Centre as a Foreign Trade zone. Be its headquartered in madison, wisconsin. They used product and brands to promote an active lifestyle while participating in programmes that donate thousands of bikes to those who may not be able to afford them. The specific cycle imports products and materials to the port of oakland and would use Foreign Trade zone status to benefit from streamline processes associated with the Foreign Trade Zone Programme. The support staff held several meetings with u. S. Customs at their vacaville location. Both have approved specific cycle for activation with the grantee which needs commissioner approval. The ports Foreign Trade zone number three falls within the scope of the Strategic Plan by sustaining Economic Vitality in the region and providing a public utility that supports the local maritime industry. Specific cycles Distribution Centres received approval from the two bodies, being the Foreign Trade board zone and u. S. Customs. Staff recommends approving this operators agreement with pacific cycle, allowing them to act as a specific trade zone. Thank you. That concludes my presentation and ill be available for questions. Thank you, a motion . So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner gilmore . Thank you for your reports details someone who knew nothing about this. I have one question, which is, could we at some point have hundreds of these operators to the trade zone, specifically will whats happening to at the National Level . Could this be a new source of helping folks do this here in the United States . I mean, its built to be a public utility offered to anyone that is approved by u. S. Customs and the Foreign Trade zone board with an actual Business Case to work. And then as the grantee, we can decide if we have a reasonable factor to not allow them to go and do business as a Foreign Trade zone. But to answer your question, we havent seen that many. Maybe i can explain. This is because some imports and they intend to of course port immediately. Its not to, for an import that is for a business consumer in the United States. So if its going to be reexported, theyre trying to simplsimplify the process. The fees in your report is all whats paid in the report. Is that correct . Yes. So that covers overhead. Yes. Weve reviewed many, i think, in the past and seems like its not really lucrative to us but its a god thin good thing for the or and to promote trade. Thank you. Vice president adam. Im supportive. As am i and thank you for this report. All in favour . Resolution 1935 has been approved. Item 12a, informational presentation on the phase one budget, parks plan Management Agreement for the mission work project at 337 founded by china base channel, third street in San Francisco bay. I feel really happy that im the presenter and thank you for letting me do this. The informational item the phase one budget and the parks for mission rock. We anticipate coming back on september 24th for action on these two ims. Items. Back in 2009, 185 allowed fort explore this mixed use neighborhood by relaxing and trusting restrictions on the property and were here ten years on with the first Port Commission action item, which would allow implementation of phase one. Really important milestone for the project and i want to note that we signed the transaction documents in august of 2018. Those transaction documents include the development and dispostion agreement. The phase one budget and parks plan is a part of the transaction documents and its sort of is during the last year work on implementation items including basis of design for the entire site, a number of mapping, permitting utilities, street design types of activitied and those are going through the board and other city agencies, the Port Commission, budget and parks plan are two implementation items. The mission rock site is 28 acres outlined here in this slide. At full buildout over the four phases, we anticipate 2. 7 to 2. 8 gross feet of development, including 1200 Housing Units, 40 below market rate, affordable, a million, a little bit more than a million, up to a million four of office, 240,000 square feet of retail and 240,000 square feet of retail space in pier 48, the overall project design. Phase one is in pink on the righthand side which would include 560 rental units shown kiddy corner, pa parcel a exami, 550 square feet of office delivering the local hire and 20 lbe commitment. Just the 5. 5acre park, i cant stress how much of a major benefit this is, more than twothirds of the open space and parks all delivered sort of on the backs of these four parcels, all in phase one. Looking back at approval, the primary changes that have occurred from what was anticipated at phasing, at approvals is that parcel f was swapped in to swea develop more Housing Units and geotechnical solution, with what was anticipated for the fill site to solve and really mitigate any anticipated settlement was pile supported streets. The now preferred and approved through the city with conditions geotech solution is lightweight cellar concrete. Cellular concrete. How much do these city blocks and 5. 5acre blocks costs . The cost for phase one approved through the budget process in the next meeting is 145 million. The total for phase one is almost 175 million, adding an developer return is up to 265 million. Phase one balances because of the sources that are identified, the first of which is the 42. 2 million in net land revenues, we call them Development Rights payments referring to the four parcels, prepaid 75year leases, also a known number. That number is derived and based upon the appraisals of those sites. The bonded here are the key Public Financing sources and this is issuing community facilities. Its based on the completed plan and building and the row in that charge is the ongoing tax payment not to the debt payment. So we have a balanced one phase budget. The cost that you see in phase one are arrived from a competitive bid process the competitor went through. The port has a thirdparty cost estimator who reviewed those and found them to be reasonable. Thy include china bases and park, resulting in 18 million in hard Cost Increases. Cost cost isoft cost is a couplf factors. This is sort of a typical budgeting procedure. The soft costs have come in higher because we have costs from contractors who provided byes to design some of the work and the second key factor is that phase one has shouldered a lot of sit sitewide design wor. The basis has been done sitewide. The mapping, the tentative map has been done sitewide as the utility systems. The costs for phase one are higher than for approvals and higher as a ratio than subsequent fay phases because of this work that has advanced. I spoke earlier about the 5. 5 acres of parks, eight city blocks and we have a couple of different aspects i want to bring to your attention. First is unique street network. We have what we called shared public ways. These are streets that are designed to slow down traffic and have more pel pet friendling to china basin park and two districtscale sustainability measures and there will be a District Energy system serving the entire site to reduce energy needs through Heat Exchange similar to what they use at thet exploratorium. We have the lightweight concrete, the geotech solution, a lake merit project done recently used in cases to recues settlement because youre reducing heavier soil with the concrete to ensure streets over time arent settling and having the types of any types of problems in this fill circumstance. Also, of course, the 5. 5 acres of parks and open space. This shows sort of just outside of the tabular format how the uses and sources measure up. This is because of the Cost Increases weve seen for construction and we anticipate higher assessed values and thats bad because that drives down land value but its good because we will have more taxes from the buildings to use to support the Public Financing sources. We are getting closer to issuing a bond. Were now months away, we think, from issuing a bond and we can zero in on what we think the Interest Rate will be and they are lower than anticipated at project approvals because at project approvals we had an average bond Interest Rate and now that were getting closer with the office of public finance, we can project the Interest Rate will be lower. Overall returns to the port, interestingly from project approvals have gone down slightly from 198 million at approval to 190 million. This is ow on a net presence bas and you might recall much of the revenue it comes from a variety of source. Some from leases and tax proceeds not needed for the project. Across the four, we project an 8 million decrease in net value terms, primarily driven by the second part of the bar chart. This part of the bar chart, the 58 versus the 40 million is derivederived from lower land v. When we have lower land value, we loan that land value to the project and get repaid from Public Financing sources in the future for that loan and we anticipated that loan at project approval to be 58 million because of decreased land value, we think it will be 40 million. All of these projections will provided with assistance from our thirdparty economic consultants. In conclusion, were looking act the staff report and based on that review and the work with the thirdparty economic consultant, it does balance and we want to note that balance relies on the budget approvals, including a couple of dust items. First the mixedused impact of thiimpact isimportant. We have a subsidy anticipated between 135 to 181 million. This is a unique feature of the project, that they will go together. The developer has proposed and weve agreed, contingent on your approval that 1. 7 million of the entitlement cost is allocated to a future phase at a 0 return. A measure to make sure the budget balances, subject to a future approval for phase 2, 3 or 4. The Port Commission would allow us to repay the entitlement sum, 1. 7 million of the entitlement cost with that cost accruing a 0 return starting last year and this is a good benefit to the port. The last item is that the cfd taxes i mentioned earlier, based upon the higher tax increment, the developer has propose aned d we think its beneficial to increase them on 20 on commenter and 15 on residential. We think the tax increment was conservative and we can now increase the projection based on what we think the billing buildl be assessed at. This is the phase one that we anticipate, once we get into implementation. Its important for us all to be aware as we take these next implementation steps that we are a true partner in the Public Private partnership, that. The development project. Many of items ive mentioned are projectioned. We do have risks around these projectses. Projects. We form the district and were able to issue the bond, assuming the mark is still respective and we anticipate we can get those sold and the Interest Rate at time of sale is known at that point in time. So that risk is a risk for the next six months until this is affect waited. Uated. Theyll receive a return on every dollar and thats a big incentive for them to control their costs. And i want to pause here and turn over to the parks and open space plan and well all be available for questions on the budget or parks plan. Good afternoon, president brandon and commissioners. Port staff have been working to develop the parks plan for almost six months but i should acknowledge that this park has been well in the make for close to a decade. This network of open space will certainly as a regional waterfront destination for our portfolio. Its location is a key intersection where a Historic District needs a greenway chinabasin will serve to a series of parks in the southern waterfront and a symbolic evolution of the role towards a waterfront open space.

Botboth will be before you for approval on september 24th. The management and concession agreement and the phase one parks design will be presented to the Commission Later in the fall.
