Item 9 executive directors report. Good afternoon. President brandon Vice President adams. Members of the commission, public and port staff. I am elaine ford support executive director. Id like to update you on the embarembarcadero navigation cen. On november 25th, judge shoal man ruled in the citys favor the approval was not so required and so with that its good news. The Navigation Center is complete and conducted to be hit another benchmark at the end of this week. Five keys hsa contract providers joined the Advisory Group last week and eager to get on site and start working. The first guest are expected to be in the site by the end of the year. The Advisory Group will be invited to tour the site before it opens to guests. Im also pleased to announce that tomorrow night will be embarcadero Community Meeting number five for the ports waterfront resiliency program. The meeting will be in the fisher bay observatory gallery. At th the explore tore yum. Please mark your calender and join. At this meeting, the public will learn about the method odd gee around the seaboard program investigation. Its the multi hazard Risk Assessment by the mhra. Following brief presentations, members of the public will visit station staff Historic Resources, flood risk, life safety and more. This is a familyfriendly event and refreshments will be served. Join if you can. I would now like to play a short video that will actually show at Community Meeting tomorrow so we can explain. This is the multi hazard Risk Assessment. Its a really important part of this program because it is going to end in the spring of 2020 with us having a very clear understanding of a consequences of damage to our water front from earthquake and flood and having a clear understanding of those consequences from damages from earthquake and flooding is a first important piece for us to plan and prioritize interventions. Would you play the video for me. This video is called an explainer. I like explainer videos. Ill see if you do as well. The embarcadero seawall is the bac backbone for 100 years. Today its vulnerable to earthquake and flooding from sea level rise. In the november 2018 election, San Francisco voted for in aud anfor inaudible for a general obligation bond. Since then, the port of San Francisco has been busy. The port is undertaking a massive investigation. Officially called the multi hazard risk investment or mhra. The port is using lacers to measure water depth, drilling hopes to better understand soil condition, modeling earthquakes using innovative technology. Its comprehensive. This means that beyond understanding risk due to earthquakes and flooding, its all the way the the embarcadero is deto San Francisco. Support is looking at transportation and utility networks, Disaster Response and recovery facilities, Historic Resources like the embarcadero historic district, economic generators including downtown San Francisco and the many beloved port tenants. And land use. How residents and visitors alike use the spaces by the embarcadero seawall. All the findings from the multi hazard Risk Assessment are key to understanding which areas of the waterfront are at risk. The likely consequences and what areas the port needs to focus on first to protect. The next step is using new knowledge to select the first critical safety projects for construction. To learn more and share your feedback, visit sf port resilience. Com. Thank you. That concludes my report. Thank you. I like that video. [laughter] very nice.

Clerk item 11a is an informational presentation on Public Comments, responses, and proposed revisions to the draft waterfront plan and draft project description for the ceqa Environmental Review process. Good afternoon, president brandon, members of the commission and staff and audience members. My name is dianne. Im here to give you an informational presentation on the Public Comments that were received on the draft waterfront plan, which was published in june of this year, earlier this summer. And the response work thats been done, this staff report, is quite lengthy so i maybe apologize in advance but i think that we had a really great engagement with the community to seek their comments and their perspectives and some of the revisions that weve made in the plan to address those. So, in terms of Public Comments that were received, since june 2019, up through october, we received comments in these three key categories. We had an Online Survey and Public Comment opportunity and that was a main entree for people to be able to review the plan as well as leave their comments with us. We had 18 Public Meetings, Community Meetings including a public boat tour, which was very successful t brought a big scope of people that we normally would not see at our Public Meetings. And we also got a number of emails and letters in responses. So the attachment b, there are sub sections one, two and throw that separate these Online Survey comments and responses. The Public Meeting summaries of what we heard in those meetings and then the letters and the responses that the port staff has put together in response to the comments received. So, briefly speaking, in september i gave you an easterly year presentation. We met with all of our port Advisory Groups. A number of Community Organizations and some of our key tenants. Lat night i was at the east cut Community Business benefits district and i think people are very supportive over all for the scope of the plan, policies that are in the plan and many of the comments that weve received are really helping us to clarify and refine some of those policies. The staff report itself tries to give a summary of the breadth of comments. Im not going to go through every single one. They break into these categories. First off, in response to some comments weve got from the public as well as the Port Commission, we do have a executive summary that we prepared thats in the staff report that will be incorporated into the plan. We realize that it is a lengthy document and were doing all we can to try and refine further. We also got comments and responses and revisions that we proposed in the staff report dealing with the embarcadero historic district. There were questions about the conditions where high revenue generated uses could be allowed in those districts in the peer rehabilitation projects within the districts. And so weve added proposed revisions to the plan to hopefully make that more clear about the need for those Revenue Generating activities to be able to finance the kinds of sighs mick improvements and historic rehabilitation and public trust uses and public activities that we are seeking to have in those rehabilitaterehabilitated piers. We got comments regarding the terms under which seawall lots could be considered for state legislation to be able toll get some relief from the trust use restrictions for seawall lots north of market street. Weve added language in there to make it clear that those would occur on a casebycase basis when theyve been vetted by the Port Commission. For fishermans war of, we have comments from one of our tenants pointing out that we needed to provide better clarification for the warfj10 facility to make its clear its a maritime facility and that there are still fishingrelated use interest in that area so we have proposed changes in the plan to make that clear. And we got a number of comments related to making the waterfront accessible and open to the broadest ray of public and people from diverse racial economic backgrounds that point out that there are many people who really dont have the kinds of resources to buy services and foods along the way and that where possible, that we should be incorporating activities that are welcoming to all along with the Economic Impact opportunities that should be available for any new improvement projects along the way. So we have included some additional revision to try and make that point. The equity both economic, social and resilience equity lenses have been integrated through all of the portwide goals and policies through out the plan. We havent concentrated it in one lace but due to the response we received we have incorporated something proposed revisions to further emphasis the point this waterfront is for everybody no matter what your background is. Probably the largest category are related to port environmental sustainability efforts and the resources we manage along the waterfront. This is a new area of center that were hearing from the public from many different perspectives and walks about the role that we play in managing resources and people were very happy and supportive of goal and the policies for environmental sustainability and a bio diversity which really migrate into thinking about adaptation and Shoreline Restoration planning as we move into the seawall and the flood study work as well. So the body of work is really i good flat form from which we can draw those Public Values into as many different ideas for the Resilience Program as possible. There were some finegrained comments about vegetation, native plants that should be incorporated throughout any of our shoreline improvement opportunities and so we have incorporated some proposed revisions to be clear and acknowledge what those values are but we were really heart end by the level of support and the sophisticated understanding that our public has about the importance of our Environmental Stewardship programs. We also received comments from hudson pacific, our new tenant partner here in the Ferry Building. Theyre doing fantastic things already with the plaza planning and activities within the arcade. They point the outside that while theyre very supportive of the proposed Ferry Buildings plaza policies, they are in the plan now they ask their ground lease be recognized in the policies in the plan which we believe was an oversight on our part and completely agree. We have proposed to include those in the draft amendments as well. So i think that were looking forward to a Great Partnership with them. They flagged some other issues in their comment letter about Transportation Safety in the Ferry Building area and programming and park activation for the plaza areas which dont cover they didnt just fade into plan revisions but theyre definitely shared interests that will be working with them further on. Finally, there were some revisions that are not called out on this slide but we added some assignments as well relating to resilience and making more clear our Emergency Response function as the waterfront is a protector for the public as well. So you will see in attachment a of the staff report, that there are some additional revisions related to resilience as well. All of this work, as you can tell from the breadth of the pages, it was quite a body of work to go through all of these comments and to develop responses to all of them. Weve had help from the whole team throughout the port but in particular, i would really like to call out ji jackson and anne cook, who are with us today here in the room. Carole back and shannon and dan have also been extraordinarily helpful but ji in particular, really did the work of going through every single one of those comments and he is relatively new member of our planning staff and probably now has the best knowledge of the waterfront plan of all of us. [laughter] as a result. And then anne cook, i wanted to give her a particular shout out because anne was here with me along with carry killstrom on the first waterfront plan. Im not the only one who knows about the first waterfront plan as well as this one and she has been just the sage adviser and will be wrapping up her second round here at the port helping us out at the end of january. So, i really wanted to recognize all that she has done both for the waterfront plans but also she has been key in bringing the equity lens through all of the goals and policies in this plan and then working with byron on the ordinance integration as well as where the Resilience Team so that the equity values that we heard through the planning process, are really integrated throughout all of our efforts and our trying to respond to the directives that wove gotten from you through the Strategic Plan as well. So it will be hard to move on after she retires in january. Shes been extraordinary in her devotion to this waterfront and i wanted to thank her publicly. The plan is still a draft. It has to go through the Environmental Review process before the Port Commission can adopt it. We have been working with the Planning Department to prepare for the steps moving forward to get the Environmental Review analysis underway. This Public Comment period that we invested in over the summer into the fall was really helpful to make sure that we didnt miss anything or that we got things wrong and that we didnt want to go in with a draft plan that might have had to be corrected while we were in the Environmental Review process. There was nothing that changed the direction of this plan. With that, were going to be starting the Environmental Review process proper. Weve got an attachment c of your staff report is a draft project description used for the Environmental Review process that the Planning Department has asked for us to populate so that people can take an early look at that before we get underway in the new year. Similarly in my last presentation in september, i reported at length on the work that were doing with bcdc to amend the special area plans so that we can have consistency between bcdc and port policies for the waterfront plan. That work continues and weve been working actively with state lands Commission Staff as well as bcdc so our objectives are really to align our public trust responsibilities across the agencies. We will be having more progress on that at a future date and that will be providing those in the future yo updates. Were also continuing our work with the Planning Department to make sure that if there are any reconciliations with the citys general plan and the waterfront plan, we will take care of that as well. And to amend the San Francisco planning code so that we create a Design Review process that incorporates all projects along the seven and a half waterfront that would review the process which today is only extended in the northern half of the waterfront and in the pier 70 and mission rock projects. We want all of our projects along the southern half miles to go under the Design Review procedures. So i think i gotta head of myself. I just explained all of the next steps already. With that, im happy to answer any questions. Its been a really great experience to meet with people to explain what the plan is all about. The work that you are leading on us for the historic pier rfp and the item on 3032 have also been helpful for people to understand how these policies are intended to play out including all of the Community Engagement work around that. So, its nice way to wrapup the 2019 and we thank you very much for all your help and support thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this item . No Public Comment . Ilw local 34. I just wanted to thank dianne. Most people know i was a Committee Member on the waterfront plan Walking Group for three years. It was a very educational and very wonderful committee to sit on. Weve accomplished a lot on that committee with 161, if im correct, 161 policies. Im looking forward to this after the three almost four years wrapping up and being approved later on down the road. Thank you to dianne and thank you to every Committee Member that sat with countless meetings and got those 160 policies done. Thank you. Is there any other Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. No questions. Thank you for the briefing. Commissioner thank you so much. I have a couple of questions since we are doing some row revisions. So first of all, thank you, your whole staff. Thank you to everyone who sat on this Planning Council to come up with this. This is tremendous work and i am is he supportive of this item. I have a couple of questions around throw mai three main buc. And most of my questions are around equity and diversity. So, on attachment a, its page 5, page 141. Were looking to sort of beef up the language around having access on the waterfront and activities that are affordable more inclusive, of bringing a more diverse population to the embarcadero and the warf. Im just wondering, i liked your amendment, im just trying to figure out if theres a way we can make it stronger. I know these are draft recommendations that we need to be broad in our language and not too prescriptive, particularly in the ceqa review. Is there anyway that we can either reference trying to have Community Benefits to help these individuals, these San Franciscos come and participate fully in the warf. Have many businesses on the warf, promoting things for the local community. Such as discounts for residents or free entertainment. I think a great example of someone who i know does a lot of activities, maybe we can specific to you as one of our highest grossing revenues. Pier 23 tries to make sure its integrated in the community. Im trying to keep up this language to emphasize it for our Current Business and when folks are entering our r rs were asking they be in line with our values. Its just a suggestion there. And then, similarly, on the revision to sentence 3 under Fishermans Warf around transportation and a lot of the comments that came out on transportation hub. If theres just anyway that we can really articulate that we want to have our walkways and our streets accessible for everyone. I know its a hard balancing act and maybe at some point we can invite the new m. T. A. Director to come or his staff to have his vision for how we do walking public transport cars and all these mobility devices that were seeing on our sidewalks and on our streets. I think a lot of other cities that are port cities like seattle, vancouver and sydney do a much better job of directing what is on the sidewalk and whats on streets. If there is anyway we can have these modes of transportation. I thought that would be helpful. And i have one question for you. I think i know the answer but i just wanted to call it out in the lengthy comments from mr. Gollinger, he had the concern that he felt in the previous plan, looking for clarification from staff, because im new to the commission, that he believed that we had a policy that front loaded Community Benefits when it came to Development Projects and we were saturday of walking that back. Can you explain to me. I read the staff response but it was vague. Can you explain why its changing if theres no change can you just clarify . So, the old 1997 plan did not pre load Community Benefits. It did identify Public Values. So, i think its somewhat open to interpretation. He didnt give a specific example of where Community Benefit was called out as an up front given in a project. I cant say that i fully understand exactly how he makes that assertion. The waterfront plan originally and still is intended to be a flexible document recognizing the balance of benefits that the Port Commission then as well as now has to grapple with. And that until you have the specifics of a site and the desire set of uses, you are not really in a position to pre define what the Public Benefit is. So, thats the short answer. Im not sure if thats really addressing the core of your concerns. The Public Benefits in a given project are really something that get identified when we do the Community Engagement for a given development opportunity. So for the historic or pier 3032, we have flagged what are those Public Values and priorities that are in context with what we know about that site and where we want to take that site. And there are new updated Community Engagement policies that are guiding wait in which were seeking those public inputs i want today clarify since there are this is for piers 3032 and theres nothing to stop it when were negotiating that with context of that projector deal no thank you. No. If i could just add on your comments on equity, theres a colombia of paper in attachment b3 that is actually an excerpt of all the goals and policies in the plan now. I think your comments on how we can add some additional language to sharpen our focus there would be well supported by content thats already in the plans so i just wanted to bring that to your attention. Its buried in the package there so we can send that over separately i really appreciate it. I really appreciate the demarcation that were going to do on the embarcadero leading up to broadway up to north beach and china town. Two of our most historic districts that should benefit from tourism from the waterfront. I would like that addition and i appreciate your work thank you. Vice president adams clearly we owe you a debt of gratitude. I know the work has went into this and to get a group of people to all the agree on anything is probably like its lead to go on anything and its tough and i think youve worked through a lot of things. I might see things different. Vancouver and seattle and sydney is not supposed to be like San Francisco. One side doesnt fit all and theres no city like San Francisco and vancouver and sydney does and its something about the waterfront that we have here and how its emerging and i like what i find that for a city our size and we punch above our weight and if we have is really fantastic and 30 million tourists and its changing and i have seen the changes because i came to tacoma and ive seen in the waterfront and this is changing and i like the vibe and i love the changes and i think its good and i dont think we ought to be complacent and were moving out and i appreciate what gale said about Community Involvement and i would like to see more commercials or the citys channel highlighted the port more commercials about our port. I wish my good friend would spend that money as its for president to promote our city and our port and its no city like San Francisco, right. Even though we have the third worse traffic in the world and i think weve got so much good going on down here in this port and i think what is happening is, when you look, we got the giants and all these restaurants and we have the warriors on the other side and weve got so many other things, we have uber we have a mixture of anything so theres no city or port like this and were evolving and im just really excited. I can see the next 10 or 15 years and were in a city that is looking for 27yearsold. Were going to leave this city better for the next generation what theyre going to inherit and San Francisco used to be but the old school combined with the new school. Im excited about it. I know that long hours you and your crew have put in, thank you so much, and its worth it. Just like the seawall and people putting input in this. Sooner or later well figure it out and wore going to get it right. And as i said before, theres so much difference between being in San Francisco and being in los angeles. One thing about San Francisco, we might fight and argue among ourselves, but we get the best minds together and we come out with something that is really good. I can only imagine that crew that you had to deal with all the different people. Everybody has their own agenda. We see this commissions all the time. People come and have their agenda and you never see them again. Then people like corinth woods and others that came and they were at every meeting because they cared about this community. They cared about this port. And they were a part of the fiber and the fabric of this community. Thank you so much. I know a lot of hard work has gone into this and i know dealing with the community and the Advisory Community and different sections of the committees and bringing this all together. This is just another masterpiece. So although, you know, you and anne were here when i was here too [laughter] for the first one. And just seeing all the work that has gone into this one compared to the first one. The first one took six years. You didnt in half the time. [laughter] its that workgroup. Right. So i just want to thank everyone work has worked on this. All the Community Groups and our leaders who have just done such a phenomenal job in coming up with the 161 recommendations. You put a lot of this and i think its wonderful. I just have one question. And i know that planning has one set of some areas and real estate has others and i just want to make sure that we are consistent with our sub areas and i know that we have you know, cac for fisherman north and northern waterfront and Central Waterfront and southern waterfront but now we have mission bay. So just wondering, what is the difference between mission bay and the southern waterfront. Because, from what i understand, the southern waterfront starts at china base. So most of the things that im reading here for mission bay, especially number five, maintain close working relationships with sfmta should be a part of the southern waterfront. The little gren way sfmta preserved berthing for maritimes, its all relevant to the southern water fronts so im just wondering why we now have a mission bay . Were a central front. And just to keep it con sit ant to your point, theres work that we can do and really defining our geography. Why a mission bay waterfront is because the waterfront plan, the 1997 waterfront plan had a south beach china basin subarea through mission day. The Mission Bay Redevelopment plan from north of the channel all the way through mission bay down to measure a pose a street. That subarea in that earlier plan was trying to recognize the Redevelopment Area needed to have a place where the people could engage on that. Now that mission bay is largely built out, then we looked at china basin channel as being more of a mile divider because weve got all the embarcadero Historic Resources to the north and you have a very different kind of waterfront to the south and we just kept the mission bay name because of the Mission Bay Redevelopment plan but to your point, the southern waterfront starting from china basin in terms of the blue green way open space so even though like we have many different neighborhoods there are larger knelargergeography down to indin and passes through mission bay, passes through bay view and i think thats where we can be working further to try and refine how we describe these areas and the issues within them. There are many shared communities south of china basin so we actually are working right now to see where we can bring some changes in the way that we engage the community add rise ay groups south of china basin. Ok. So, to keep it consistent, with planning, with real estate, with the waterfront plan, what are we going to do . Can i get back to you on that . [laughter] before we go to press . Well, yes. We have our board Advisory Groups and were talk with our Advisory Group chairs. Now that we have a plan and were seeking public input its provided a Good Opportunity for us to meet with them to solicit their views along the changes along the waterfront and how it can be best be addressed through the Port Advisory Committee meetings and discussions which could include some changes in the way that we organize the committees and the issues that we bring to them. Its a work in progress. I think, you know, ill take that as a live question that will still have to come back and provide more specifics about where these alignments and consistency and so were all speaking the same way so we can all speak the same language. That would be great thank you. Clerk item 11b requesting approval of a fee waiver for revocable license and encroachment per its that allows the aquarium by the way to public spaces along the length of the waterfront for up to nine months. This is resolution number 1947. Dan with the ports planning and environment division. So, two months ago, 30 years and two months ago there was a major earthquake in San Francisco in october of 199. Within a few months of that sea lions began gathering at pier 39. Now ive never heard a theory as to how those two events are related. But i have heard theories as to why they stay there. One its a protected harbor and another theres ample supply of herring and theres a love of having their pictures taken and another is that pier 39 gave them dock space to reside them. Theyre looking to celebrate 30 years of sea lions arriving and theyre looking to do that this january. As part of that, they would like to do 30 sea lion sculptures throughout the city. Most of these being on port property or were excited to say and thats what the proposal today here is to request your approval the fee waiver for this installation. 30 sea lions, they are six feet tall. They are three foot six. They are not bolted down. Theyre filled with sand on bottom. They would be distributed along the length of port property allowing people to see them travel from one end to the other. A couple at bay view gateway. You can see the other and along the northern waterfront as well. Plus there is additional ones at pier 39. Why they didnt put all 30 on port property, well we have representatives here we can ask them. They would provid provide a reao visit port property and see some of these. Theyre fabricated recently. They went out and did a call for a lottists. They have individual artists doing each of these 30 and they received 140 entries and there was a Committee Form that included the form and institutions to select bowl locl easts to painartists to paint t. They were selected based on the quality of their proposals. Theyre from San Francisco, heavily, marin and the peninsula and there might be a couple from the east bay but its a local collection of artists. Each one is unique many of its different and it makes it interesting to go view them. It will be fun to look at each one and get people imagine they will have their photographs taken. You can see a sampling of what this would be like along the waterfront. In addition to the 30, theyve got 3,000 mini sea lions for schoolchildren to color. So making this more of an event. Theyre looking for some type of guiness world book of records piece associated with this. I wont go into that one. They can explain that. They also will be a plaque on each one with a qr code to shoot that on your phone and it pops open to a website and tells you about the artist. A little bit about the sea lions and environmental message as well so it continues to expand their messaging on it. They are part of what the Steam Education Program Science technology engineering, arts and math for schoolchildren that brings them forward to Education Program looking to be the largest of that in california in 2020. Theyre also doing a National Media outreach when they launch this going on in january. The Port Commission had passed the rental rate schedule on juld cry syria for letting art. Some of the within of that and other uses would not be displaced and the port does not the parts and through the public art and a tracks people in the waterfront and you will they meet that criteria and also, the resolution gave the executive director the its going through the standard encroachment on the site and provide insurance and on on that were accustomed to. There are Port Commission, the request here is for the Port Commission to approve the fee waiver and the timeframe and the resolution and they are two members and i know one of them would like to get up. Chris low from ellen saw where it gives a explanation of aquarium in the bay its part of it. Thank you so much for taking the time to hear us today. A few things i want today highlight, and staff if you ex to visit us, you will be talking. The highlights are that the 30 full sized statues and the 2000 mini statues have been painted by locals as well as tourists who are locals on pier 39. Theyve come by and decorate and paint each of these sea lions and we hope to break the Guiness World Record for the most statues in one location. It will take place on january 15th. We also have the sea lion anniversary coming up which is in conjunction with pier 39 and so on january 16th, pier 39 and aquarium of the bay will host a conference with national, regional and local media to be in attendance there. The 30 sea lion statues will be aside from the port of San Francisco and Golden Gate Park and pier 39 so these are part of californias largest steam programs so that science technology, education, arts and math and were really trying to envelop biological messaging and a lot of the artist from our local area have envisioned what the sea lions mean for us in San Francisco and their importance of our base help. With that, thank you. Thank you. Can i have a motion . So moved. Second. Is there any Public Comment on this item . There is christopher christian. Helen. You guys are 12. Im sorry. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Commissioner im very supportive of this item. Its really exciting to have this art work along our waterfront and in reach to other communities to draw people to it. Again, just on the equity lensing frame i hope next year being the anniversary that the aquarium and pier 39 do in reach to the community that are adjacent to the waterfront doing in reach to the bay view and to northbeat to chinatown to make sure those schoolchildren have an opportunity to participate. I would love a report on when the anniversary is underway and this is a phenomenal project and im supportive of it i am supportive of it. More technical question. If the executive director has the right to wave it forward, wouldnt it be an administrative issue or are you going to bring us all waivers of fees that you have for the commissions approval in the future . There are too many fees that was the second question whats is the fee that would be entitled to this that were waving . The least licensed fee would be about 1500 for the 16 sea lions and port property for this period of time. And in addition, theres encroachment of Building Permits and why have an exact on that. Its probably about that amount as well. So a total in the range of around 3,000 for the entire i would just encourage us to maybe up that delegation. Were told it takes a lot of staff time to bring items before the commission noted. Ill put it under new business. Thank you. Dan, i love your sense of humor. This is great. I like it. I would like to have the kids from the community have an opportunity to see this. Its a treasure and we feed to take care of it. Clearly you have my support. Thank you. Thank you. Dan, thank you so much for bringing this to us. I think im happy that i got a chance to see it. Hopefully ill see a live one with randy standing next to me. [laughter] i think this is a great project. Im so happy that you engage the kids and the community, the tourists, everyone in this project. Think its a phenomenal project and so i truly support this effort. So thank you. All in favor. Aye. Resolution 1947 has been approved. Clerk item 12a is an informational presentation on local higher performance at pier 80. Good afternoon, president brandon, commissions and director forbes. My name is andre coleman, Maritime Division director for the port of San Francisco. Im joined by the maritime Marketing Manager for the port. And sew fee and andy clark, dan rolland and mike cass with with the pasha group. The operation and employment performances pasha auto motive services at Renice Priebus 80 following this presentation, pasha reps will provide a presentation on the local hire efforts. For a little background on the evolution of pier 80, in 2005, pier 80 shifted from container operations to break both cargo such as steel and various other project cargoes. Volumes were strong until the 2008 recession. Following the recession, volumes steadily declined to a point such that break both cargoes alone was not enough to operate the facility. And in 2016, april of 2016, the port and the previous terminal operator agreed to determine innatterminate dueto a decline k cargoes. In july of 2016, the port and pasha agreed to a agreement. The term was 15 years with two fiveyear term options. The premiseses includes 60 acres of paved land, two sheds, and four berths. The primary business at the facility is export autos. With a primary customer being tesla, a free montbased marver. It includes both asia and europe. And we anticipate expansion into other markets. As indicated on the slide, the facility has handled imports. In 2017 and 2018, there was a significant increase in imports. Those were spot Business Opportunities and not necessarily a regular occurrence. However, given the substantial growth in our export volumes the current focus is centered on ex ports. As for auto volumes, since the inception of auto operations at pier 80 the terminal has seen growth in volumes year over year the facility moved 4500 use owed and 2017 is a significant increase to 24,000 and 2018 growth and then 2019 this calender year Significant Growth with 146 autos moved through the facility. Im happy to report this substantial growth sooner than anticipated with vessel to one vessel per week. The substantial growth in 2019 is attributed to both des las release of the model 3 to the International Market and autos being exported directly to europe from the port of San Francisco. Previously, autos bound for european markets were exported utilizing east coast ports. The port pasha worked to facilitate a success in exporting directly from the port of San Francisco to europe. Activation as an auto terminal and to a historic long shore and dung a typical auto operation and employees workers. As you can see by the grass, with the growth and volumes, long shore work hours have increased significantly. Of course with 2019 being our highest year of volumes, the ilw has played a huge role in the success in the terminal success of the workforce is wellversed and very efficient and executing the operating plan at pier 80. In regards to the local hire performance, they employ 14 full time and four managers and 10 full time auto processes and in conformance with the local hire agreement. They are employing 50 of the auto processes are residents of district 10. It should be noted in the staff report, of the local hire percentage was incorrectly reported as 29 .

On this slide, you will see captured in the processing hours chart on the left is a sixmonth snapshot of the processing hours during 2019.

As you can see, with fluctuations in volume it impacts a processing hours to accommodate these sharp increases and volumes and pasha employs supplemental labor through San Franciscobased temporary agencies with the focus on district 10.
