Granularity of forecasts, our budget forecast has been within 2 percent and the methodology we have kept true in prior periods. Where i was a little too conservative was the parking forecasts and based on conversations we have had in former years i got a little more aggressive and hopefully we will see a tighter performance of budgity to actuals in the future. The question would be the leases. Did we have some leases executed a long time ago and even with cip increases if they were to come online today would the jump be a little bit more than cpi i think in some cases it certainly would and in some cases we dont know. The individual leases which will expire in the twoyear budget window we dont individually address what might or might not happen to thep. As a general assumption we assume those leases will continue on either under the current tenants name or be released under similar terms to someone else. I am a little wary about turning the dial up in aggressiveness because we want to

That we have seen continued growth in our real estate revenues and its also the policy of this commission to require market Rate Adjustments in our lease terms that have really helped to grow this revenue stream. Also as the city begins to recover were seeing enhanced performance in our real estate revenues. We also experienced strong growth in maritime revenues and really the two business lines that have shown the most growth are ship repair and cruise and both come from Strategic Investments from this commission. Cruise revenues, as you know, were making a strategic investment in the pier 27 cruise terminal and in past years its come from increased ship calls and passenger volume and we expect this trend to continue. Dredging and investments to expand dry document capacity and shore power at pier 70 really yielded results in that business line. Since 2008 operating expenses have grown by 13. 2 million or an average rate of 3. 9 percent per year. And its really three areas that have d
Expenses of the ship repair yard and the water basin that is there, they have worked very hard to try to get us reclassified from a federal perspective to be eligible for those grant funds. In 2006 our capital plan showed that we would lose 8 piers. One of those piers was pier 38, we now have a new plan for that. One of those piers was pier 31, we now have a new plan for that, and we continue to work at these things. With but as we went along negotiating the master permits for both the cruise ship terminal and the americas cup, worked very very hard to try to direct those investments into state of good repair. Some of those investments were the removal of derelict facilities, piles in the pier 64 area, and those are really important as well but making sure that we now one of those repairs was repairs to the aprons around pier 19 which has a dual purpose of giving us exiting to be able to put more population in pier 19 and that has a direct Public Benefit for Public Access but also a re
