Do. [laughter] its not a plugin issue. Okay, thats a relief. [off mic] apparently its a signal from there. Because we can show the whole room, but we just cannot show the powerpoint. [off mic] it looks like we are back in business. I apologize, commissioners and members of the public for the delay. David please take the way. Thank you elaine. Commissioners, president brandon im with real estate and development, here seeking authorization for the request to proposals for the south beach historic piers 38 and 40. A quick outline of the presentation ill be going through this afternoon, including how this aligns with the strategic applan, a little bit about the background the Development Context the input we received, the minimum qualifications scoring criteria, collection panel, review and Selection Process and then the economic benefits to the port and next steps. So the rerelease and Successful Development to the piers 38 and 40 project will touch on five of the ports strategic objectiv
And we have those across those other categories as well. And so finally just some kind of highlevel key issues that sort of emerge from this report, from this analysis and findings. Not surprisingly, you would see a lot of maritime facilities and industries. And that would obviously impact port and related jobs and services that these facilities provide. And for all of these the degree of impact is obviously driven by the elevation of the port facilities, by the condition, by how they are used and whether it will be temporarily on permanently inundated across a number of scenarios. So different facilities become vulnerable at different scenarios depending on how high up they are. Port facilities play a critical Emergency Response function in terms of both staging areas and areas for people to aassembleasemiassemble or evacuate. So that would have a big impact on the citys ability to recover from a natural disaster. Shoreline open spaces are at risk and this is a valuable resource and a
Entire waterfront is really the modern way of looking at development, as well as space activation which, as you know is one of the things were trying to do at the wharf in the publics face. Anyway, that is why am here today. Thank you, diane, and commissioners of the port. Thank you. Alice walters. Good afternoon. I am trying desperately. [inaudible] i am here wearing two hats. We had the pleasure of having diane, and half present the waterfront plan update last night, to our community. I have to say, being able to present, they really focus on the goals and the values of the plan doing that was a conjunction with the runup of the rfps, the first of which are going to be in our subarea. Really brought the plan home to the community, so that they can understand what all of those hundreds of recommendations actually meant on the ground to them. I think it was incredibly valuable for the community, and it also, the three years, i think, that you all invested in really paid off. The commun
Good morning to you. Morning clouds, evening clouds, mild afternoons. For most, is going be great. It will be a little cool on the coast for the Fireworks Show tonight, San Francisco and berkeley at risk of having low clouds and fog. First things first, the numbers outside right now under partly cloudy, partly sunny conditions, San Francisco 54 degrees, santa rosa 56, low 60s in oakland, livermore and san jose havent changed a whole lot. The winds are onshore and will remain on shore along the coastline. Some of the cloud cover there along the coast has works its way across the bay. Lets look at areas, partly cloudy skies run santa rosa towards napa, vallejo, i80, that stretch between vallejo and fairfield, you can find cloud cover, to the east bay, we have the shore covered through richmond through fremont. And over towards the east bay, 586 at the interchange, we have cloud cover, pleasanton looks like theres a little cloud cover and it is just south of san ramon. The wins on short f
Fireworks. We want to thank katy perry for her song, aptly perfect on a day like today. 88,753 days ago, guess what happened. The United States became a country . Exactly. July4th, 1776. Okay. We all gather at my brothers house and if there is no fog or clouds, we get a good view of berkeley fireworks, San Francisco but rosemary, i know you had your fill of people asking you, it is awfully cloudy now. Lets look ahead about 12 hours. It may look a little like what were seeing right now, gasia. San francisco in jeopardy of the the clouds and fog just in time for the fireworks. We are seeing just a few bits of blue at this point. The clouds are beginning to break just some. We have folk heading out on the water. We see a sailboat leaving out of this water heading for perhaps the bay. We are looking at a very, very mild day ahead of us. The change expected as we roll through your afternoon today with mostly sunny skies away from the coastline. As we get into the numbers, temperatures wont
