She is truly been instrumental in the success of the ecocenter especially in the about of the many key partnerships and relationships that we have. First and foremost i want to talk about the partnerships we have at the ecocenter because without them none of all we been able to, which wouldve come to fruition. As you probably remember it a couple of partners the right unified in our lease. Rosalie eight Phil Mansell Randolph of San Francisco city college of San Francisco.

With all of these partners, we provide these organizations the opportunity to use the ecocenter as a meeting space and we provide our free Education Programs to any of the students and youth of these organizations. One deliverable that you probably will remember that we included our proposal was to develop an ecocenter Advisory Committee. To ensure that we have a strong connection and communication with the community that the ecocenter serves. I am happy to share that this initiative was launched and grown stronger with the past three years. The ecocenter Advisory Committee is comprised of approximately 10 members and is cochaired by myself and jaclyn flynn from the eight Phil Randolph institute.

I now would like to share with you about some of the successful programs and initiatives that we do at the ecocenter to engage the community. When i think back over the past three years our focus on being open to the public consistently comes to mind is when the most important successes. Upon execution of the lease that they. Org team has injured the building was open to the public wednesday through saturday 303 30 pm. Guest can walk in at any time to ask for the building and received an impromptu tour, naturalists about the various Green Building systems. By having consistent Opening Hours the community has come to know the egocentric. Since march of 20 15 18,000 guests have visited the ecocenter. To provide additional handson experiences starting in spring of 2014 began offering free themed signs saturday programs. We promote these programs through to the community through calendar listings on the egocentric port and Partner Organization websites come a distribution of flyers, at the ecocenter, and in the community by ecocenter Advisory Committee members the flyer distribution by eac members is been instrumental in getting the word out. Its another great ladies Committee Members really help support the ecocenter and its programs. As you can see from this graphic a total 2700 visitors have participated in signs saturday programs over the past three years and our numbers grow significantly each year. These are a few pictures that are examples of very signs saturday events that happen over the past three years. We try and create a diverse type of visitor engagement through these different events.

Examples of organizations we partnered with the successful signs saturday events include the magic city of dreams, San Francisco rec and park California Academy of Sciences Blue greenway project, department of public works, bay area science festival, and tried city fest. Providing volunteer opportunities is also a key part of our signs saturday program. It is a wonderful way to our organization and the Community Come together to give back to the health of this very unique part. Monthly in partnership with the recreation and parks Green Acres Program the court make a restoration work day. He began his partnership in late 2014 and since then weve engaged over 500 volunteers in removing nonnative plants planting and watering it of plants in the park.

Then, as i mentioned adult and College Groups can also reserve a Free Guided Tour in over 1100 adults called students up what about the ecocenter through a guided tour since our time there. When we begin our work is there a key need we heard consistently about the ecocenter is to provide programs that engage youth and workforce of him and activities. Therefore over the past three years weve continued and grown the Internship Program that darted been developed by city college of San Francisco. These Internship Programs are also wonderful connections were partners at a pri and city college will make these internships a success. Internships are anywhere from 1014 weeks long and involved the students in learning about the key ecocenter such as our Wastewater Treatment system putting that knowledge into action by learning to interpret the buildings [inaudible] and culminating in a project. Our summer interns are paid through a wonderful grant we received over the past three summers from the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission in high school your interns receive College Credit through city college of San Francisco.

Commissioner woo ho yes. I want to add an echo could i remember the site when i came in front of the commission and at the time today theres no Public Comment and the Commission Hearing actually lots of Public Comment could a lot of different voices. I think that is commissioner brandon said we did give our counsel to say lets Work Together to think about a common goal and its pretty clear that now that we three years later that common goal in vision of what we could do with the ecocenter has brought everybody together and with the addition of rec and park and a wonderful example and a shining success and wonderful youve exceeded our expectations in terms of the partnership, in terms of the programs you provided, and i think in this day and time where our sensibilities about whats happening in the environment continue to be sort of elevated more and more and its wonderful to see all the children and others that have the opportunity to be exposed. So i think that its really amazing. I think its a spectacular to see this after three years and that everybody is in unison which is not easy and im glad to see this has worked and i think we are very pleased and we arei think as a fellow commissioners, we want to make sure were always engaged in the community and the projects we can get some of our projects dont lend that i nature but this is one that really did and it is so great to see that we actually can see the progress thatwe do not just talk about it but you actually ended up walking the talk and showing us results and those results are so fantastic so thank you so much. Can i just ask about the funding and what it will take for you to be able to open more days . I could speak somewhat to that. We have an annual operating budget for the ecocenter. We are consistently fundraising to support that. When of the ideas when we first came forth was that as part of a Larger Organization and through some of the general Revenue Generating efforts [inaudible] part of the organization that would support of the financial needs of the ecocenter so that we can consistency when there are ups and downs in our fundraising efforts. So today, we have been very successful in getting some key grants. I spoke just received word were getting to grants coming down the road to support k12 and Internship Programs. We not got to the point of having 100 property costs underwritten and so once we get to that i very much want to expand hours because i think is very much a need for that but we need to fulfill the general operating costs and then from there thank you. Could ask one question creek permit other organizations exist like this in the bay area . As an off grid Nature Center . Yes. I thinkis there [inaudible off mic] i know carol and ports acted ecumenism under research when the proposal brp process was coming forth. They truly is one of the only off the grid Nature Center of its kind. Definitely in the bay area i appreciate that you really involve immediate neighborhood bayview Hunters Point which is terrific but it seems like some help you to make this much more of a bay Area Resource so that hopefully would then help you increase your Funding Network it so unique and a sense not competing with somebody in marin or somebody in the east bay. So it seems like maybe the port can help to figure out where else can youi would ask renee or others to think about it because it seems like its not just for the neighborhood. Lets keep expanding. I would like to sayi have her bladder, appeared because shes hiding out in the audience but this is carol bauschs project carol you need to come up to the microphone because you always do, and you stayed on. [applause] the thank you thats very kind but its really not just me. It really is a team effort and a Real Estate Division has a lien placed this project and taken over the operation of the building. Our Maintenance Department has done amazing work over the past three years to bring the building up to code in some its operations and that has not been easy for them. So thank you but it takes all port to run the ecocenter. [laughing] , thank you for all the time work and thank you for your presentation we look forward to you coming back next year as you continue with your success. Thank you. Mdm. Sec. Next item item 11b update on electrical vehicle arc charging station. Good afternoon commission to which permit with port listed and the environment tilting. Last march you authorized the port to accept this duration of the edr was at electric vehicle of thomas rechargeable renewable target i was have to write that out because it is difficult to remember but it is a standalone solar powered electric vehicle charger. You may remember that it was part of a citywide effort with the support of several organizations. Vision is the manufacturer of the units. There were several neighborhood and nonprofits involved and they were trying to promote the idea of electric vehicles around the city and this idea of a off the grid ev charger was quite eyecatching. The port groceries at three locations in the were hiking the recipient of one of the three units at the end of the trial period and you asked us to come back into the little update on the performance of that. So the charger has been located at sewall 330 and the embarcadero says the intonation and a reminder that it is very consistentim sure without surprise with the port and the cities, strategy and again, its off the grid. It is zero emissions entirely and it is free to use for anyone parking at seawall lot 330. So one of the benefits of this unit is that it has control technology that collects data on eight its usage including how much energy across from the sun and how many charges occur, what kind of power it delivers over time, and this is a quick little summary of the use of the units since april through december so we had 741 discrete charges. About was three a day. We had up to you 11 cars charging per day and we generated enough energy to travel over 4000 miles. In the phrases of one of our electrical engineers, this is an operation close to its practical capacity. I try to delve into more of the actual technical aspects and every time we got into it our electrical engineer said its really complicated to talk about changing easy energy through inverters to ac and is just i thought was over my head and probably not what we need to get into but operating at close to practical capacity so its really been a success. It was a success until just after christmas when i believe, some i plugged it in and as happened with guest issue they drove away without unplugging it and thats part of having a public asset. So we order the replacement cord is less than 300 alternate with a spectacular team of electricians port maintenance and we have the support as well of the engineer from envision the manufacturer and are helping us with the repair which a be completed in just a couple of weeks. We will have it back in running for public use. The idea in part was to help promote electrical vehicles and as part of that i just pulled out some data could be thrust of this graphic here is simply to show the green line, which represents electric vehicles and the red line which represents most gas inefficient heavy cars, shows you the price of what it takes to drive 100 miles and it ranges from under five dollars for an electric vehicle to over 20 for gas guzzling truck or suv. So its costeffective to run an electric vehicle. The next up is probably the most interesting one. It was fortuitous that just in the last couple of months the City Administrators Office started working group to promote electrical vehicles throughout the city fleet and the port is participating that undertaking very methodical approach to looking at what would take to upgrade the infrastructure, what types of electric vehicles the city fleet would be able to utilize. The perfect fit for the port running short distances we do. Typically our cars and trucks dont run more than 3000 miles a year and withwe were not learning to range limits at all. It something we are going to learn more about as we work with the Technical Resources of this working group and hopefully expand the on grid charging capacity and then expand the actual fleet of electric vehicles with the port. That concludes my presentation. Thank you. Is very comment on the 11b. Any public homage on 11b seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner woo ho thank you. That was a great report on seeing the success we are stupid i just want to know tactically speaking when you have 11 cars a day doing it, how long are they talking before they are charged is full quick how long does it take them to charge up . I dont have data on whether they got charged individual cars fully. What the remote data shows is how long they were there. It might be an hour. Maybe two hours. Because as a regular parking lot of just wondering use a practical capacity is it because people are not going to come back and 1520 min. Ago leave their car for a period of time and is there a limit along they can leave the car their cliques and try to understand how the capacity works not just from the electrical technical and just in terms of the actual from a user standpoint, what works and what you can expect. But say there was more capacity but nobodys could come back that quickly to move their car thenworth we put limits on how long they can attend on trying to understand how this works if we should add more which i think sounds like the city wants to add more to the electrical fleet than just how does this expand . Right. So the working group is to expand the municipal fleet. Not necessarily be charging capacity for the public. But for the public charging [inaudible] the rules are typically to to our charge and then you freed up but i think demand has created such competition where one person was waiting to chart. Ive not heard anything from the parking operator about that right now that charges three. Is that correct . The was its free. You pay for the parking but you do not pay for the charge. Okay. Is there any thought at this point that even the operator of the lot would like to see more of this in place we ive not heard that from the operator, no sews that something were going to look into . It seems like all the business cases is pretty compelling that its a good thing to do. Were willing in that direction someone with the next up would be from the business proposition standpoint . Spews out of think the next business up would be to purchase more of these dvr units. This is again for 7500 was the estimated value of the units. We receive it as a donation. I dont know its costeffective to install these on port property but what is probably more likely is that we would install chargers that are attached to the grid and the cost of that will vary depending on the location and im sure the electrical engineer can tell us more about that. But what we expect to learn this working group to try to expand the fleet is what some of those costs would be in then we would have a better understanding the charging capability at the Public Parking lots. That sounds like a good direction and understand what municipal fleet is trying to but it seems like we would want to sort of do things in parallel or simultaneously. Understand what we could be doing here because its very exciting to see the results. It is. I think well learn some good engineering lessons that will inform the issue for the public lots. Thank you. Commissioner katz great presentation exciting to see its got positive feedback. I had just a couple of questions. The parking attendant sort of enforced the twohour limit or how is that overseeing . Is part of the charge when we initially set up the rules with him prior to the donation. It was there as a trial and the rules were essentially two hours but i dont think he was originally enforced because i dont think the was having the work combines the people were abusing it. Did you have stories of people fighting over Parking Spaces and thankfully we are not heard that here. Have we done an analysis or comparing with her is a fee because these charging in different senses here. Theres a fee for a charge the elsewhere is there any scenario where we could see that occurring on some of our facilities if we would install i know this one is a pilot and a donationbut every word look to look into part two purchasing these units, with a worker they pay for themselves by charging a nominal fee for the charge . Yes. The word i got from our electrical engineer who did some very impressive quick math said, no could it would not be Cost Effective to purchase these for that purpose. I think a better bet would be to develop the grid and install the charges that way. Thank you does my last question comparing these units that are solar powered essentially versus with grid connectivity. Do we get kilowatt hours out of the ones connected to the grid . Are they i think theyre more reliable. Rahman, anything to add to that . Promising will come up come to the microphone thats where i was going the comparison between the solar powered unit versus the traditional grid connected. Spews you a limited capacity with a solar power units in the sense that you can only produce whatever energy you get from the solar panel. So theres limited energy as a result you can only put that much energy into the cartridge whereas the grid its whateveryou much greater capacity. For we can get more power of the grid and charge of the car faster. So if you put a big solar panel up for each part then you get more power but they can only produce very limited power. For most of these you can only charge may be likeim guessing around 20 of 2040 of one cars charge per day. If you even be there for the whole day. Its notit depends today whether its a sunny day, whether it is cloudy and whether their shadow from other buildings were not. So it depends on a lot of factors. So theres no storage capability Battery Storage category or lenny think along those lines . He was use of limited capacity with the size of the array you have on top sorry last technical question did is incapable of doing a fast charge . It depends good im not sure. I think it depends on the voltage out on the systems. Im not sure exactly what the operative voltage is pretty fast charging you need for 80 volt system i doubt they would have eight 480 transformer since the input is just a dc could solar panel. I doubt theyll put a transformer that would step up the whole thing to fast charging. And you would need a lot of power for that it doesnt provide. Thank you. Commissioner brandon thank you so much for a wonderful presentation and im happy we were part of the pilot and was so successful that also look forward to the working groups recommendation for expansion. Thank you thank you commissioner kounalakis be so i think this is the first issue that i have participated in approving that come back with the results. My recollection is the company donated for this purpose is looking for project where they could test them get so there was a twoway street that we were willing to try new technology and test something, try something new. It did not cost us anything and help them as they are trying to focus their engineering on their product to figure out how to going to make this work. I think everybody kind agreed that if you can have a mobile unit to charge electric cars that off the grid and using Renewable Power as opposed to fossil fuels coming into the grid to charge your electric car, that is a really great thing. So my threshold for success is that they are learning something and we are learning something. It sounds like that is the case. One question i had was actually a followup does i remember this from before was of any of them run out of power before the end of the date when they were still people who wanted to use them . So not that of her. Budget review the minutes from our meeting back in march and one of the questionsa similar question was, would the be power in the morning after allnight. There were several cases were people pulled up at 7 am and started charging. So i think that from what norman said you probably could exhaust the supply. You would below that youre pulling would exceed with the battery had in it but it is still just depends on how heavy demand is. You can still use it in the day and find as a charge of the available in the morning. As a quick followup prisons with all the storms recently and obviously we have not had much than how does it do with the Stormy Weather . Like what we had with the rain it just seems like a solar unit would not be doing very well it actually does pull down more power than you might expect. I wasnt able to analyze that in terms of the load because someone pulled the cord out and hasnt been actually in use during the storm period your but you can track the amount of energy that the array pulls down and is definitely pulling down a good amount of energy. Commissioner kounalakis you were not done, go ahead. No. , no i guess what im interested in is some more these details. At some point hearing about how much power they had whether or not it would run outcome of whether or not repair issues. I mean, clearly if it breaks and it takes a month to fix that would be an issue for us and an issue for them and so my sense is that it will continue to be used and we will have more information over time. It will. I actually think the damage that incurred was a real learning lesson. I used to work a lot with a gun store change in the regulations around people who drive away with the fuel dispensary in their tank. Gas spills all over and theres things they learn to do to prevent that. I think this is the same lesson for us that they do have an extra cable on hand and some of the learning curve will be put behind us. Kali, atcolleagues, preshared question. Great job could i like commissioner emanuel and the rest of commissioners am happy about us being in a Pilot Program and this is really progressive. Thank you and really looking into the future but so thank you and your team a lot. Thank you very much spews mdm. Sec. Next item item 12a quest approval for Concept Design commission baby front part located east of Terry Francois boulevard bounded by the south street on the north 16 street on the south good afternoon planning and development am also joined today by markfrom the office of Community Investment and infrastructure. Luke stewart from Mission Bay Development group and michael capital on service design. All working with us on the Concept Design for Bayfront Park. Within mission bay. Again we are requesting approval of the Concept Design for Bayfront Park p22 within mission bay which is required of the part of the owner participation agreements and interagency cooperation agreements under the Mission Bay SouthRedevelopment Area plan which the port is a party to get in front of you is an illustration that shows how Bayfront Park p22 fits within the context of the Larger Mission bay project which is a 300 acre mixeduse development the development area. Mission Bayfront Park p22 is part of a 40 acre park system within mission bay. On the right you can see is generally bounded by south street on the north and the pier 52 public boat launch parking lot. And 16 street on the south also bounded by list apart by the south just north of the mission rock restaurant. In front of you is an illustration of the part bounded its approximate 7 acres. Today it is crossed with portions of Terry Francois boulevard and the illustration shows as part of the park project 20 francois blvd. Loses the s turn that exist today in streams out and creates a 7 acre area connecting a parcel p21 the bull launch parking lot with aqua vista park to the south. The photographs on the bottom illustrate existing conditions today where you can see in the left hand side utilizing the 2008 clean and safe parks general obligation bond. The port repaired the shoreline portions of the park. So again we repaired about 1300 linear feet of the shoreline using the 2008 bonds. As we began to develop the Concept Design for the park the jumping off point for us was the bcdc permit that authorize the construction of the park as part of a larger day mission bay project. That bcdc permit required there to be a large with a purpose long, the trail along the shoreline, a plaza at 16th st. , and gives the opportunity for the port to construct a restaurant of up to 7500 ft. 2 of restaurant space plus an additional 8500 ft. 2 of Outdoor Dining area. We then took that concept and said how can we take what weve learned since 2000 when the permit was issued and apply it to some of the new site context that exist today including the development of the new Golden State Warrior serena directly across the street. A future Mission Bay Ferry Landing at the terminus of 16 street in understanding the scale of the arena and the lan uses around it and getting input from the community on a design that works in the conditions that exist today. So there are essentially five sub areas to the part. In the red, and in pink areas, give a multipurpose long they promenade could in the yellow area is the 16th st. , plaza. On the teal area to the north is the restaurant area and then along the shoreline we have the shoreline they trail and blue greenway path along with some lookouts and then along 20 francois blvd. To widen promenade to accept and understand to be significant crowds during events at the arena. So this was fishing, shows the annotated version of what i just talked about and just running through the concept is a very high level, again we have the waterfront path with the pointer which one along the shoreline. Its a 16 foot wide multiuse path and offer that our little gathering areas that get you down closer to the water as wasnt home and call the portrait that takes you off the bait trail blue greenway path gives you a little bit of elevations you can stop pause and enjoy the views of the water. The green is a blend of both flat multipurpose langues that can be used for information recreation were even more formalized ball plate if theres a desire to play soccer or pickup football were elements like that. Then between the multi use green area in the bay is a significant landform that brings some elevation to the site and allows a different perspective of the use both out onto the great looking east and back onto the park in the city and the arena to the west. Additionally we have the 16 street plaza at the terminus of 16 street was a program of picnic tables, barbecue areas, shade structure that may be constructed out of former bay bridge seal and done as an art project. With plenty of room to accommodate queuing as needed for the future Mission Bay Ferry Landing then again the promenade along Terry Francoise boulevard is a widened sidewalk acknowledging and recognizing that during arena events that might be extensive crowds coming out or going to the arena that also illustrates a little bit of a copout of a small plaza at south street knowing that is a cross street that will accept people from the arena. Then lastly, we have the restaurant opportunity site to the north with the design has been developed in a way that provides maximum flexibility. So as we get further into the Restaurant Development of the restaurant idea with opportunities for different configurations but it shows for a restaurant as depicted in the bcdc diagram and Outdoor Dining. You also get an eastwest connection from south street to the big jolt to the shoreline to the plaza area. Here are some details of the various elements of the part. You can see gashed in those gray lines is the landform structure which is bringing people up to the promontory and its about a 12 foot elevation grade from along the bay trail up to the top of that wouldnt be a pathway to the top it also terraces the lead up to the top of the bayfront green without be generally a very flat lawn area the south st. , plaza and some of the viewpoints along the waters edge could some of the imagery on the right is the type of experience we are hoping for. Then, to the south you can see this 16 street plaza. Again a little bit of a landform and grassy area that orientates to both the pavilion and the plaza but also as a part of the lawn area, the expanded bayfront promenade and the vista point at the terminus of 16 street giving views out to the ship repair operations. The next few slides of jewish oh perspective views of what the park might look like. This is a view from 16th st. One of the things we heard from the bcdc rebind Design Review board and staff was make sure certain views of the bay were maintained for 16 street and south street. This shows how those landforms frame the views of its relatively flat at that corridor through the plaza. Here is what those terraces look like in theit looks like as you walking along the shoreline note that on the bottom right hand of the screen is kind of the view you are looking at. The view key. Here is an image that shows what the bay bridge pavilion might look like. Again, accessible and viewable from both the plaza and the multipurpose cream. Then a view from just north of the pavilion looking back you can see the views towards the dry dock operations to the south. Sea level rise. Again the port repaired and constructed the shoreline along the entire length of the spark. We had the foresight and then understand that Sea Level Rise was going to be occurring so we designed that to elevation to recognizing 2100 Sea Level Rise projections budget this point in time 100 year storm is about 72 inches. The park is protected to 2100 based on those estimates. He shoreline path is free of that area so we think we designed a park and amenities to protect against Sea Level Rise. Then lastly, to develop these concepts weve spent the last 18 months working very closely with the community including the port system to Waterfront Advisory Group mission bay citizens Advisory Committee,. We reach out to individual voting groups could have gone to the bcdc Design Review board to make certain that the plans meet the intent of the original permit. And have gotten approval from them and acceptance of the design from the mission bay citizen Advisories Committee as well. If the Port Commission approves this the next ups would be go to the office of Committee Investment and infrastructure is eager approval in march and then begin construction documents that will take around 11 months and put out to bid in the spring of 2018 with a park opening in november of 2019. In the last next up will be for the port as we develop a strategy and how we bring a partner the restaurant opportunity to come back to the information and how were going to pursue the partnership and the project forward. With that am available for any questions as well as the team thats here with me today. Thank you. So moved. Second. I got one card for Public Comment. Karen, woods. Good afternoon commissioners director forbes. My name is karen woods. I chair the mission bay citizens Advisory Committee and im a member of the central Waterfront Advisory Group. Weve been looking at the spark for a long long time. And its evolved that the biggest evolution was when we knew the Warriors Arena was coming and we realize that was going to have to accommodate a lot of crowds that we had not really expected it to mission bay cac has signed off on it. Reluctantly. Because as with every other group im involved with, the concerned about how port waterfront parks his activation and having a passive park which is required by the state because you can have a local serving activity makes it very difficult to activate the spaces. We also talked a lot about stewardship. This would be part of the Mission Bay Park system. Managed by Mission Bay Parks. Maintenance and funded by mission bay but we also know that its going to be probably very heavily used and we want to make sure that we think about stewardship and think about the longterm planning for activation and use. We want to move ahead. I think the construction schedule is a little optimistic but i think they want to have it done by the time the arena opens. But with more expensive Mission Bay Parks is that we tend to have them completed absolutely beautiful and fenced off for a long time before we get to open them. We are hoping we can do a better job on this one. Thank you. Is there a more Public Comment on 12a seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner brandon they queue so much for great presentation. Can you remind me what exactly [inaudible] part of what is there is Terry Francois boulevard the s turn goes through there and the very old Terry Francois boulevard is a parking lot that we strengthen up meters injured was the parking lot a little bit of just vacant kind of raw land. The part of the part of 2008 shoreline project we did put a temporary pathway asphalt pathway and some benches out there so we do get a fair number of people running and jogging and fishing along the shoreline there. Okay. I thinki was one of the funding about this project we all been funded as part of the Mission Bay Redevelopment project is being funded by mission bay and will be maintained and managed through ocii and the mission bay project. So what is our responsibility other than approving these wonderful designs queen at this point in time that but Port Commissions responsibility and then we will also be responsible for developing the restaurants. So the restaurant will be the ports yes. And developing meaning we have to find some and to build it or build it ourselves ada that is correct. Peers has any thought been given to that queen we begun to think about with and think about it in the design of the park and what we need to develop is a strategy it is likely will need to bring up a partner in to help us build it and operate it and so we been thinking a little bit about what type of restaurant we think would be best that which we think is more family orientated and not highend the summary that supports and is ancillary to the part. But we need to develop a strategy on how we get from just those thoughts to actually delivering it and we are hoping to be back to you in the next six months without strategy. Thank you. Commissioner kounalakis its beautiful. Im wondering if you could just elaborate a little bit more on what karen was saying but the state requirement that it be more passive than active . So because of the park is state lands Public Trust Land be both state Lands Commission and bcdc one our parks to be serving more than just the local neighborhood and more than just the region. So we dont want to serve the municipal needs so thats why we dont see structured playing fields on port parks. Okay. My second question is with the restaurant. Im sure you beginning us lot more information but is the construction budget for its part of the project or is that going to have to come as part of our efforts queen thatll be part of our efforts. The Mission Bay Redevelopment project pays for the park and they will also as a part of the construction of the park the subbing utilities out so it will help support the restaurant but the actual construction of the restaurant is a port opportunity [inaudible] come to the port that is correct. The thank you commissioner katz its beautiful i feel about so thank you. I know a lot of time and energy into the design good im excited to see it come to fruition. One concern i have is just given that the arena will be coming in and that there will be a sudden flow of people out in large clusters, has some thought been given to protecting the landscaping or as crowds moving do we think that we avoid trampling things . So those types of details we began to think about on how do we address the detail of the edge between the promenade along Terry Francois boulevard and the lawn area. One of the benefits we have as you may recall as a part of two greenway planning we rethought how the bicycle lanes act are designed up on Terry Francois boulevard. On the side of the street to be a cycle track and theres parking so the parking and the cycle track will probably act as a barrier as well so there is a just a flood of people across everywhere. If we focus and encourage pedestrians to use the crosswalks were there at the be crossing at 16th st. And south street bar there will be signals and pedestrian signals as well. Thats why theres a little bump out of a closet at 17th avenue south street im sorry and a large plaza at 16th st. But there are some design ideas for that edge along the sidewalk on terry flynn 12 boulevard and the park the wilkesbarre as per the detailed design. Okay. Then i know we are contemplating a Ferry Landing there. Then again the people walking across. Thats built into the design . Yes. Great. Very exciting from a funding standpoint theres no cost at this juncture to the port . Not at this juncture for the part. Great. , thank you commissioner woo ho thank you it is a great design and furnace to see it. No one this part theyre still parking area is that correct . Ps the parking lot to the north service the citys own public boat launch trailer yokels. The parking lot will stay there and really there to serve the public boat launch. Okay. But then its open to the public and people want to come to the part where you have to be part of this boat launch in order to get into the parking . Is very purpose is to serve up public boat launch and for trailers spews but you have to have a permit or something . Is open to the public and we charge a fee. Originally was striped as 30 spots for cars or trucks with trailers. We have not found the man photos 30 spots so we reserved 15 for boats with trailers and converted the other 15 to 30 parking spots and we continue to monitor that and as we need more for boaters we will need to reduce the number of vehicles that just parked there. Okay. Can you tell me where the Ferry Landing is relative to the park . So the Ferry Landing will be in the vicinity of 16th st. On the righthand side of the drawing that 16 street radio the plaza. Manny, if you could pull theso okay. , yes here we go. No. So the Ferry Landing will be in this general area can you see that on your screen yes. I can it may just be a lipid south to the 16th st. , two. Okay. I can understand you will see people from the even from not just with the arena but from people coming to and from the ferry and the parking lot over there theres a lot of people will park over there and take a ferry. Could be interesting can i think of be some congestion over time. Itll be interesting. I imagine thats going to concern the neighborhood. What is this going to cost . I know we dont have to worry about that adjuster is i believe the budget is roughly 9 million. [inaudible off mic] 89,000,000. Okay. Alright i guess just given the Ferry Landing, given the arena, there is this parking lot to my guess we think all these pieces have been thought through and arjuna fit nicely in the puzzle . We believe so, yes. Okay. I guess to be seen. Thank you. David, great presentation at we know nothing is ever perfect. I think were being 35 for the ferry and for the park. Theres every couple glitches along the way i think theres a work in process because of homely cars compared to boating but i think its a great concept. Just this restaurant i like it can be familystyle be more for people they can bring their families if theyre going to the games are getting off the ferry. So i like. Thanks for the presentation. Thank you colleagues, if theres no more discussion, all those in favor say, aye. [chorus of ayes. ] opposed, say nay. At pasadenas mme. Sec. Next item item 13 west authorization to accept and expend 1. 3 million in the bay area air Quality Management district Goods Movement in mission Reduction Grant Program locomotive project and to appropriate 515,000 in Available Fund balance as the port funding contribution for the tournament of eight one 29 stateoftheart low emissions locomotive to replace a 60yearold al zero locomotive subject to board of supervisors approval. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is Brandon Omara with maritime division. Im requesting your approval to accept and expend Grant Funding for the bay area air Quality Management district to purchase a new low emission tier 4 locomotive. Alas Commission Meeting with you from staff as well as the public about the positive and Successful Partnership we have with our tenant San Francisco bay railroad. The commissions approval we were able to extend the partnership for an additional five years. For their operations as of a real wishes [inaudible] these locomotives were built in 1944. They are currently the oldest locomotive still in industrial use the state of california. While locomotives of the great assets for 70 years, and are valued part of our port history, it is time for one of them to be retired. These locomotives have a cheer zero emissions rating. Meaning there are no omissions reducing technology whatsoever. The current california requirement for industrial agreement of that size is cheer for rating. Understanding both the operational environmental need for a new tier 4 locomotive the port apply for and is been awarded a grant to the bay area air Quality Management district to substantially pay for a new locomotive. The grant provides close to 1. 4 million towards the purchase. The port with the help and expertise of sf bay rail that it identified a manufacture that meets both as a bayvilles operational needs and speech it cheer for emissions requirement. The total cost for the new locomotive is abruptly 1. 9 million which after the Grant Funding leaves a balance in the port 20 vision to be 515,000. The port plants recover this contribution and updated locomotive lease with the rail operator. Investing in a new green locomotive with over 70 of the costs being covered to Grant Funding is a logical next step in our partnership with sf bay rail. It was system in their continued good stewardship with the local community by having a much more efficient and environmentally sound operation. Therefore, commissioners, please, approve this request to accept and expend Grant Funding from the bay area air Quality Management district to help our rail operation move into greener pastures. Thank you very much. Ill be happy to answer any questions. So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on 13a . [calling Public Comment cards] i am ellen johnck cochair of the Maritime Committee i want to say is a followup an exciting time at the last rePort Commission meeting where we enthusiastically endorse a new lease and the investments the railroad is making down there on the spot that but what i think is very exciting and of course we encourage your support and acceptance of the grant is that partnership notches with the railroad with bay area Quality Management district. In my prior work here in the bay area on behalf of the port developing a clean air policy and we were formed a Great Partnership with bay area district at the time and securing a grant for the [inaudible] down at the cruise terminal. So this is yet another opportunity and i think the bay area at this point should be congratulated for its great wisdom in providing a grant for this wonderful new piece of equipment. So thank you very much. I think its very exciting. Thank you, alan. Jim . Good afternoon commissioners jim maloney. Good to see you object formally with the port and adjusting here mainly to support brandon. We were together putting together the staff report. I think this is a wonderful investment. As to the investment the port has made and the Rail Infrastructure in recent years. The railyard expansion the partnership with the San Francisco big railroad and i think thisll be good investment to help the port continue to operate the railyard well into the future. Thank you thank you, jim. Good afternoon commissioners to pres. Adams vp brandon commissioners director forbes for eric smith with the San Francisco beatty railroad could i really appreciate the opportunity to come and speak before you and excited about this possibility. Back in 2007 when mr. Cabbage approach me of his vice chair of the citys bio diesel Access Task Force and running all the citys bio diesel groups and he wanted to do something about making diesel 1944 locomotives run a bit smoother and cleaner and we became the first locomotive in the state of california to use bio diesel. Parking down and help the stewards and that worked out pretty well and we are pretty happy about that. Now those fuels have shaken that we have to move to alter[inaudible] Renewable Diesel which is sort of distilled and made similarly to bio dues will be made from vegetable oil. That something we hope to do it before successful with this grant to do with the new locomotives. Is that a Long Time Coming. The guys been working to get these things going for years. One goes down the other one goes out with to make calls to the sacramental Railroad Museum darling parts and pieces per 1944 outcome so its been a challenge but we got some great folks at the railyard and its a labor of love for a lot of them things to port staff and jim bosak which berman and others who helped us keep things going out there. So this workers is a great opportunity. Its like a longtime dream come true for the staff at the railyard mr. Cabbage and me personally to see did everything go from the 1944 to Something Like a 2017 locomotive. So this week rates. I will close by saying the other day i was watching turner classic television they had famous movie burden of alcatraz. I watch it 1 million times Burt Lancaster and within the first 5 min. Admin obrien or whoever the guy is narrating going out to alcatraz as he walks in front of the Ferry Building and what pulls up right next to them but the old 25. [laughing] i was filmed in 1963. It was running along the Ferry Building heading out to fort mason and you could see franciscos in the background i thought well, thats a long time ago. Thats a Long Time Coming but with the new warriors project, the lease renewal, the track upgrades this very very timely in this lot of big things happening on the peninsula with caltrain with yuki and were really excited about this possibility. So thank you for your consideration and we really appreciated. Thank you. It there anymore Public Comment on 13a . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commission woo ho width thank you i think this is all obviously a logical step after what we did at the last Commission Meeting. Very supportive of the fact that the way to retire but i was jokingly saying that these two locomotives should go a museum. It sounds like thats where we get our parts from. Maybe we will be donated. My question really relates tounderstand is only a sermon of grants and theres a difference and thats where the port is committed to play with a 550,000 port contribution but currently i did notice in the staff report you are currentlys is only a dollar a year because they are obviously, dinosaurs. He does say that eventually youre going to come back to us with a lease. I just want to understand conceptually obviously has not been worked through yet, how we are going to recover and what would be for instance a reasonable timeframe given the economics obviously the railroad has to work out, too, and we already know that 60 years, that life is too long. So what are the some of the concepts of how long it would take to lease out these locomotives for the port to recover its 515,000 and were some of the ideas we are generating along that line before you come back with the specifics we so yes as of rail was in involved an entire grant in thes understood from the beginning they would be enough graded lease with an upgraded Monthly Payment and so the market rate which we discussed and were still working out the details but its around 3000 a month and with that figure its about 15 years we would be paid back are 550,000. If are in the ballpark which there are discussions were very much on the same page in that range. Okay. Because it obviously has to be reasonable for both sides. Exactly. Commissioner katz might have been my question, too. Just help it would shift from the one dollar k meant to something that will reimburse half 1 million. Beyond that im very excited about getting a new locomotive. I think it reflects well on the port and our commitment to sustainability and given what weve done with sure powers its a logical step as well to ensure all are forms of transit use the cleanest environmental clean approach towards fuel. So very excited. Thank you. Commissioner kounalakis well i think it is great. Its a great opportunity to be able to upgrade without having to bear the cost of it. I guess my thought is about reagans. Gazeta much they charge about the sector mental railroad example for your maintenance but i am wondering whether not the cost of social maintaining this train engine is going to be says they actually having his can be substantial . No. The cost americans the to it better than i but a caution be substantially less for maintenance due to the fact it be brandnew locomotive. Italy under warranty so all the any substantial part to be provided for the first few years by the manufacturer and there should be a large decrease in the amount of fuel used. The lease 50 less fuel efficient so theres huge thousands of dollars savings on the fuel site as well. Okay. Commissioner, i will say our staff at the railyard these guys are super familiar with this particular locomotive as well as that news from 1944 to the present and to the point of the dollar per year, we are grateful the port charges only a dollar but february railroad eight for all the rebuilding, all the parts all the pieces all the things all the manhours all that stuff thats appeared i dont have the exact figure but yes, 3000 or whatever it is. Its above my pay grade. Will be substantially more than the one dollar. Thank you so much for a great report i think this is very exciting. The fact that we were able to get the grants and we were able to purchase this new locomotive. I think its absolutely wonderful. Regarding the funding, which i guess everybody had a question about but in this, it says that lease payments there will be monthly lease payments by the rail operator. In the report it says that we monthly use payments. Of those two Different Things . No. It will be an updated Lease Agreement to use the locomotive. Its the same thing. The use and lease its a Lease Agreement. Their leasing locomotive for use. But they are ground lease a separate from the useless yes. Its actually three separate lease get the last one was for the ict a facility theres a locomotive lease and a track lease. The locomotive lease amtrak lease will be coming to the commission very soon to update that to the same amount of years as the ict a facility which we did last Commission Meeting. Great. Thank you commissioner woo ho you have a question . Okay. Brandon i think its one eight first times you presented. Great job. Im on board with this be looking forward to when the leases come back. Its really time we move into the future. Appreciate all the support. Jim is always good seeing you allen and everyone that came out. Thank you very much. Colleagues, all those in favor say, aye.
