Item 5, Public Comment on items not listed on thugenda. I dont have cards. Is there Public Comment on anything not on the agenda . 6 a, executive directors report good afternoon president adams and prez dependent adams. Im elaine forbes. My 1st report is a innovative project under development being spearheaded by tom esher of the red and white fleet. In terms the big picture, Climate Change and alternative energy, the connection between fossil fuel and Climate Change is very well understood. Truly clean energy means finding alternative fuels that dont produce green house gas. Solar and wind power are increasingly common. In San Francisco we are benefit from hydro eelectric power from hetch hetchy. Today we have electric cars powered by batterys. Many recall former governor schwarzeneggers hummer. This brings utto mr. Eshers innovative idea. A hydroren fuel cell passenger ferry. Mr. Esher approached the port to tell us about this idea. They had a project that would explore the feasibility of rinic a passenger ferry with a Hydrogen Powered fuel cell. If feasible this means zero emission ferry on the San Francisco bay. This is a very major accomplishment for the environment because like hev aduty land side vehicles, water side vehicles are heavy fossil fuel based. Of course, such ferry presuposes a need for a fueling station. In support of this idea port staff primarily rich burrman have been work wg mr. Usher and his feem from [inaudible] labs where we can site a maritime fueling staishz. We looked at 90, 96, peer 54. Pier 54 seems to have the most promise but needs more background. I would like to invite up mr. Esher to tell about the project. We will keep the commission and public informed as we move forward. Mr. Esher thank you for your energy and enthusiasm for the environment. Commissioners, about 15 months ago sandy National Labs received halfmillion dollar grant for department of transportation and Maritime Administration to determine the feasibility of a 35 knot highspeed Hydrogen Fuel cell ferry for use sthon San Francisco bay and the rest of the United States mpt sandy national lab is a lab providing unbias assessment to the fraul government on projects of national interest. Sandy was selected by dot because sandia has the most experience dealing with hydrogen of any company in the United States. This study is all most complete and released to the public soon. The results will show the project is feasible. The vessel design was done by elliott bay out ofciateal with engineering from bae hydrogenics. Additional support is provided by [inaudible] air products, lindy, United States coast guard, American Bureau of shipping, department of defense, eta, u. S. Navy, the white house, governor browns office, governor nusems office, port and city of San Francisco. About 50 of organizations and over 200 people are involved in the project chblt let me tell you about the vessel briefly. Her name is sf breeze. That stands for San FranciscoBay Renewable Energy electric vessel with zero eimations. I have to read that, it is a mouth fuel. We are using proven catamaran design. The power is from a electric moting with electricity generated from Hydrogen Fuel cells. The San Francisco breeze has a fuel cell about the size oof a is suitcase. Tide hydrogen is from natural gas. We work with libdy air products to Source Hydrogen using clean Source Energy such as wind and solar. This will create a zero emissions life cycle from fuel to propeller. Not just zero pollutions, but zero pollution throughout the entire system. Hydrogen and fuel cells are a Proven Technology used for over 50 wreers in submarines, power backup, space vehicles. Most people are excited and thankful when we mention a zero pollution vessel but when we mention hide wroegen because they do not understand the characteristics of hydrogen. Sthais natural human reaction. Similar to the reception received by the Wright Brothers claiming one could fly. The nasa scientist tell us hannling hydrogen is safer that gasoline. Status of the project today, we received great support from the port on this project as they understand the importance of zero pollution. We have the support of the California Fuel Cell partnerships, those are all the Automobile Industry cars making Hydrogen Fuel cells because they want a place to fuel their cars in San Francisco and the state will subsidize part of that station. We have been work wg the port of San Francisco to identify a lowication, pier 54 holds hope of that. Our interest is to reduce vessel pollution to zero and this project is a powerful step to achieve that. When the breeze is launched she will be a seed. It is 30 meter boat to 40 meter tug boat to 70 meeting supply boat to [inaudible] trading between here and the hawaii islands. We have the support of hawaii supporting a zero pollution ship. We are meeting with pasha this friday to discuss with them about their involvement in this because they are very interested in the environment and doing something about it. In summary, this is basically a stew. We dont use potatoes or meat or carrots but use a catamaran designed by elliott bay. It is proven. We are moving using fuel Cell Technology using hydrogenics you can buy off the shelf today. We use a power train by eae industry which is sth shipyard in San Francisco and have Proven Technology. The proven hydrogen is supplied by air products or lindy or air leak heed. They are the largest producer of hide ydrogen in the wrurld. With the support of dot and Maritime Administration and coast guard, department of defense recollect u. S. Navy, i go on and on, the sea breeze will be built. Thank you. I did leave a little model of the boat there and the one admission i center to make, if you put it in your bath tub, willie, it will sink. Thank you mr. Esher. Thought you were going to say it may get powered by hot air up here. [laughter] we will continue to keep the Port Commission in the public updated on the project as we move asqulaung thank you again mr. Esher.

We had our player involved and involving sparts and having messages sent out to young people are powerful. We also involved in education. A lot of our programs are all about youth as you are hearing. We have a submarine program and innovative Scholarship Program where we give scholarships to 8th graders from disand vantages communities and backgrounds and if they complete high school and admitted into college we will give them a scholarship so we have counseling and support systems as a 8th grader mubing up through high school so the kids have incentive and role models and support. Now we have hundreds of kids that have received scholarships and gone on to college. So, we are really proud of our efforts many are not commonly known that we do but as a organization it gives great pride to be part of a organization that is so involved in the community. With me here is Christine Pelosi who many may know but also a board member of the Giants Community fund and for the last 8 years is a great volunteer for us. Thank you jack and commissioners and members of the public. San francisco baseball is passed from generation to generation from my dads [inaudible] potrero to candlestick generation where my sibling got the candle stick on the chilly nights to by childrens generation growing up at the park on garlic fries and [inaudible] not one but 3 World Championship series. Everybody is lined by the love of baseball qu community. I encountered the spirit when willie [inaudible] volunteered to give a autograph to every child that participated in a read a thon. I dont think as many kids read as many books in that week in San Francisco. A generation later now sunchs on the board under the visionary stewardship of ceo larry bear and giants family we have players from the San Francisco giants and players from the junior jieants getting the willie mac award and raised over 2 Million Dollars for the program. Seeing the continuity of the children being treated as the players are treated and honored a as the players are honored. It is critically important. It begins to spring training and hopefully lasts through the [inaudible] the sams come out and the sams givement they give their time and beloveered baseball mitts giving them one last hug before they put them in the donation bid to make sure all the children can have a glove to play baseball. They give their donations, 10 or 5 at a time to get a pin or raffle ticket and every day we see the positive impact on the program of children learning Character Development and learning to live in a world of peace and non violence which is so critical today. Every season someone tells us a story how the program wasnt just life changing but life saving for a player or coach or commissioner. Of cords who take the peace pledge in the ginning they work out to a surgeio loamo come to the ball park and parade where the fans celebrate them. When they hit the field they know the Community Cares about them and when they come to our ball park to see commissioner [inaudible] and the team in action and see the reaction from the fans they know the sit believes and invests in them. This award belongs to the junior giants and each volunteer on their own time who coach or serve as commissioner or help bring the water for the no soda pledge to make sure the kids are eating and drijing right and all you who give donations and support of us so on belandfall of the volunteer Board Members we thank you for letting us share what we do.
