Coordinate and respond to a potential outbreak. The declaration of a local emergency allows for much faster mobilization of city resources, accelerated emergency planning, streamlined staffing and coordination across the city. It also allows the city to be reimbursed from the state and federal governments. And it raises awareness throughout San Francisco about how everyone can prepare in the event that covid19 appears in our community. Also santa clara and san diego counties have taken the same action, similar declarations to bolster their preparedness. Id like everyone to note that cruise ships visiting the port of San Francisco come from domestic location, as well as from canada and mexico. The u. S. Coast guard routinely reviews passenger records to document travel history of the vessel, passenger and crews, the coast guard has issued guidance on reporting it passenger symptoms, for passengers or crew. Additionally, the Cruise Line International association has implemented preventative measures for all cruise lines to limit potential exposure. The federal government has worked to contain the virus and the Health Department is monitoring hundreds of returning travelers. Its important to remember that the risk of the virus is based on travel history and contacts, not race, ethnicity, or culture. To stay up to date, please go to www. S fdph. Org. Ill remind everyone in our city government, we have weathered other types of crisis before and the most important thing is to listen and stay uptodate, not to panic or worry. But to instead stay informed and there will be more information as the situation evolves and our mayor is on top of coordinating the city and her departments and working with all that well be providing resources to us. So please stay up to date and informed and know that you will have good information as its available, so please keep an eye on www. Sfdph. Org. And that concludes my executive directors report. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on the executive directors report . Seeing none. Request item 10b, the ports fiscal year 2021 and 20212022. So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on the concept item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. All in favor . Aye. Resolution 2009 and 2010 have been approved. Item aa request approval of the ports fiscal year 20202022 and 20212022 biennial Capital Budget. Torch a, commissioners. I am traity, the ports Deputy Director for finance and administration. Im here this afternoon to ask for the commissions approval of the ports Capital Budget for fiscal years 20202021 and 20212022. Commissioners you had a number of questions for me and my staff two weeks ago. In response, we have provided you with Additional Information to help with your consideration of this budget request. That information includes a list of all projects that were submitted for consideration in the fiveyear c. I. P. , a list of currently appropriated Capital Projects with balances, a more detailed description of the forced ranking process, that staff used to select projects for the c. I. P. And Additional Information about the waterfront beautification fund. So to address the two final items, just to give you a little more information on how we prioritize projects for inclusion in the fiveyear Capital Improvement program. The deputies met as a group to review the projects. And we used a forced ranking process. And so what this was was every single project that we considered, we needed to decide whether that project was number one. When we came to the second project, is that project number one or number two. The third project. Number one, number twoer or this three, so on and we made our way through 49 projects. At the end of the process we came up with a ranked list. We ranked our life safety projects first as a group on its own. And then we reviewed and ranked all of the other projects and considered items such as the projects useful life, whether or not it had to possible to generate revenue, what the return on investment would be, the importance to the ports public trust, whether or not a project could feasibly be delivered and the urgency of that project. Finally, just a little bit more information about the southern waterfront beautification fund. When staff reviewed the allocation to the beautification fund, we realized that the original appropriation request did not include a setaside for the revenue we expect to collect in the southern waterfront over the next two fiscal years. So, as a result, we revised both the Capital Budget request and the staff report to assume that there will be an additional allocation of 2. 5 million over the next two years, to conform with the ports southern waterfront beautification policy. So those are the highlights of the Additional Information in and the changes that we made and i am glad to answer questions from the commission. Thank you. Can i have a motion . So moved. Second. Commission Public Comment. Im sorry, is there any Public Comment on this item . We havent had any Public Comment. [laughter] is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. I have no further questions, thank you. Commissioner . I have no further questions. Thank you for all of the material that we asked for. I have no questions. Again thank you. This is feasible. Sorry. Vice president . Katie, i have got about ten questions here. [laughter] i thought id shake you up a little bit. I know how shy and you are. Im good. I have no questions, thanks. Thank you. Katie, thank you so much. I want to thank you and your staff. Because this is a lot of information. I know it takes a lot to pull it all together. And i really appreciate you adding the additional charts and responses to the items. And i just have a couple of questions. Okay. And that is im so i guess what i was trying to understand is what was previously funded, if all of that has been completed or what is still incomplete or what still needs more funding . So weve got a lot of charts. But its hard to really figure it all out together. And so, i mean, we can do a oneoff and you can just, you know, walk me through that later. And then so on so what were funding this year is 84 million . 8877 . No. Go ahead. Yeah. So for both fiscal years, for fiscal year 20202020, were finding 55 million. In fiscal year 0212022, yes that is so then the table three, with the proposed 20202021 budget, 54,000,689 and 29,000,589. Im just finding this in the staff report. This is table three. It doesnt have a page number. But its before page 16. And after page 13. So it must be 14. So the 84,270,000. No. Yeah. The 84278 is sorry, commissioner. So its off by 3. 1. Pardon me for a moment. Commissioner, the total amount that we are proposing to fund in the next two fiscal years, for all appropriated projects, is 84. 278 million. That includes an additional 2. 5 million for southern waterfront beautification. Okay. So the chart on page 14 is the correct one . Yes. Okay. And then okay. So the attachment 1, where it has prior appropriations. What period is that over . I cannot answer that question. So its over multiple fiscal years. Okay. So projects can be appropriated Capital Projects are appropriated and they carry over from yeartoyear, the money rolls forward. And because of the transition of the Financial System in 2017, it has become somewhat challenging for us to look back prior to fiscal year 17. Okay. So so from this chart, these are projects submitted for capital funding. And this could be for like the last ten years . Well, i guess from me it will be easier if the prior appropriation were for a period certain, whether its the Previous Year or the last two years. Right. So we can really understand. I think what i was really trying to figure out is how do we do last year . As far as what was appropriated, what was completed, what still needs to be complete or, you know, that was really what i was trying to figure out. So this sheet leaves more questions than answers. [laughter] sorry to hear that. So at the beginning of the staff report, we do note the projects that we completed in fiscal year 20182019. I saw that. I saw completed projects. Okay. And then but it was the appropriations. So i wasnt sure if these were all the projects from last year, with or if they were the projects projects from last year that had remaining balances . So on page 4 of the staff report, we list six projects that we completeed in fiscal year 1819. Okay. So what list are they on . Theyre just in the text. Theyre not in a table. Got it. Got it. So theres no dollar amount. Theres no cost associated. But these were those are the projects that we completed. Thank you. The projects that we note on page 8, in table 1, are projects that have been completed over some past potrero. Past period of time, not necessarily in the past year. We as finance staff need to get a little bit better working with our colleagues in the Engineering Division to go through and close out projects, when the projects are completed. Unfortunately what happens now is when a project is complete and the funds arent necessarily pulled out of the project and closed to fund balance. We need to just go through on a regular basis, probably on an annual basis to do that work to close outed funding. So the projects that are listed in table 1 on page 8 have likely been complete for some period of time. Okay. Okay. So i think its for us who are not part of the finance staff, do not deal with this on a daily basis, when we see it two, three times a year. I think its easier for us to be able to understand it if we can see a history, as well as a projection. But really understanding how were doing with our projects. So the projects that were approving this year, so next year when and where will we see how those projects will progress. Right. Thats whats missing for me. Thats what i was trying to get a picture of. Okay. You know, how are we doing . And are some of these projects that were trying to fund, were they previously funded or is this new funding . You know, just trying to understand the progression. So im okay. And then amador street sewer and pavement repair. It was appropriated some time ago. Yes. Is that a project influx or in progress . Yes, it is. And i at some point may defer to my engineering colleagues on this. Am score street is has received multiple multiple over the last five years. In the most recent capital appropriation processes, we were reviewing am score. It became clear that we are still doing Due Diligence to understand what the total scope of that project needs to be. Weve been working with d. P. W. Its a sewer improvement project. And it as we were as staff doing having a call for projects and then doing analysis on those projects, it became clear that am score street likely will need more money. But we dont know yet how much more. And so we chose for now not to include additional funding in the budget. Okay. But that 7 million is still set aside . Yes, it is. We dont know how long its been there . We dont know we dont know when were going to use it . We can analyze how long its been there. So we can analyze how long and what years that there was appropriations to am score street. The issue has always been the design on am score street. We need to do the sewer differently and the Stormwater Management differently. But getting an actual project design so this is a project thats been stuck in design for some time, getting a good design that the department of public works signs off and would accept am score one day as a city street, is where weve gotten caught off guard. So the design has continued to go on and with different types of solutions. But the money sitting there is similar to it sitting in fund balance, in that whether it sits in a project or sits in unappropriated fund balance, has the same result, more or less. But i think what might be useful is to have a capital conversation and informational item, where we give you what youre asking for, which is to look at what was appropriated, what projects we funded last year and how theyre going. And what projects are still open and into the closed. Some of them are new projects, from a year or so ago. And some of them will be much, much older, like pier 35 substructure, where weve been thinking about that for years and waiting on an army corp match. I think we should schedule an informational item to dig into capital. Its a good time to do so. Two budget cycles ago you funded a project Management Office and so weve been taking a lot of efforts internally to deliver capital more efficiently, with the small staff we have. So its a good time to update you on what on the questions youre asking. Right. That would be wonderful. And then my last question is South Beach Harbor. Yes, maam. And the 7 million. And just wondering if whatever were going to spend this money on, would any of this be taken care of in the r. F. P. Thats been put out, or with the resiliency . No. So South Beach Harbor has been set up as its own little enterprise within our within the port enterprise. So these projects are specific to the harbor and their needs for the marina and youre just about to get an informational report from the director of that marina. For pier 38 and 40r. F. P. , thats a separate process to try to bring in private investment and repositioning of those piers. And resiliency is tackling other issues related to the seawall and flood on the line of the embarcadero. So these projects are related to providing an aplus Customer Service to all of the recreational boaters, doing maintenance and repair, dredging on the harbor, operationsself. And weve structured it so the money the harbor earns is the one the harbor spends. And theyve i keep calling them they. Theyre part of our family. Weve applied the capital setaside policies and discipline to make sure the harbor generates enough revenue to take care of itself. Right. Okay. I think thats all my questions. Does anybody else have any questions . Okay. Thank you, katie. I really appreciate this. All in favor . Aye. Resolution 2011 has been approved. Thank you so much, commissioners. 12a, informational presentation on the financial and Operational Performance of South Beach Harbor. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is joseph monroe. Im the harbor master of South Beach Harbor. Joe, can the pull the mic right up to your mouth. Im here to give you the presentation on the Financial Performance of South Beach Harbor. All right. South beach harbor is a full Service Marina consisting of 700 disciplines. Third largest in the bay. We have a guest dock, the south guest dock. We provide commercial access and also recreational access as well. Slips consist of up to 30 excuse me. Im sorry. 30 feet up to 100 feet. Back in 1986, the harbor was constructed and managed by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. And in 2012, the port of San Francisco assumed operational responsibility. In 2015, the Commission Approved transfer of assets and operation to the port. In april 2019, the transfer was finalized, when the cal voting documents were approved. Some of the partnerships we have down in South Beach Harbor, south beach yacht club, thats a 500member, allvolunteer club. Theyre known for their great races that they put on each year and theyre known to draw up to 40 vessels during the summer. And they also provide a nice Junior Sailing Program for the youth. And that really helps get our youth out on the water and hopefully provide us with new recreational boaters in the future. We also do work with the San Francisco bay keepers. They specialize in outreach and education on keeping the bay clean, which is very important. And they also put on an annual parade and a run in which they use harbor facilities. Some of our operators that come down to the harbor, commodore, bay cruises and events and also horn blower cruises. We get into South Beach Harbor pier 40 shed, we have a number of onshore tenants. Some of those are spinnaker sailing and city kayak, boat washington, to name a few. Actually have a knew photos i wanted to go over with that. Okay. Here we go. When the port took over management of the South Beach Harbor marina and pier 40 shed, the decision was made to have the department take over the tenant leases and management of the property. Some of those improvements have been made over the last few years. And twe updated and resigned leases with all of the onshore tenants. We added a new alarm system with cameras inside and out of the shed. We also divided the bay im sorry, the shed into bays to provide new space for new businesses along with adding new storage lockers for rent. Here is a perfect example of some of our Public Access we have down at the harbor. Right here what you see is the south promenade on the shed. There it overlooks the harbor, gives you a nice view and you can see oracle park. In the view. Also if you are looking to the left toward the end, youll see the bay bridge. It definitely provides a nice area for the public to come down and enjoy themselves, also providing benches and things that of that nature. If they want to walk out
