Im with the Building Construction trades and i want to say in Public Comment that im in sport o supports of the c mission rock toront and i woulde that you would approve it. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller, please. Operator you have one question remaining. Question im peter osborne, the owner and operator of the mission rock resort on the south end of the waterfront. I want to thank president brandon and executive director elaine fubbs for the opportunity to speak and i hope you and all of your families are well during this pandemic and certainly our lives have changed dramatically announcemen. Im hopeful the vics weekends fire, like the rest of us who are already living a stressful life are able to find solutions to their new layer and problems and our hearts go out to them. San franciscos crab Fishing Community is a big part of who we are. As is all of the restaurant and retail stations along the waterfront. Needlesstosay, the decision to defer rents has been a welcome relief of shortterm stress, not not having to worry about that has been fantastic and i understand youre looking to expand that in the Commission Hearing and further, while you evaluate what truly is the best path forward for all of us. The slogan going around is that we are all in this together and we are literally all in this together and we need to stick together. This is unique and diverse and important to the fabric and the community of San Francisco as we know it and San Francisco has always been a waterfront city town and its up to the port to maintain that level of excellence and to keep life on the waterfront as we know it regardless of how its defined and changing on a daily basis in order for operators like myself to survive the pandemic and to survive not only the first wave of the pandemic but the anticipated second wave of the pandemic and the economic Recovery Associated with both of those, we are going to now more than ever need the partnership of our landlord, the port of San Francisco, to help us redefine what those business terms are. We have submitted i have formed a coalition with a number of reputable tenants up and down the waterfront and we have submitted a letter to kimberly beele, who should be circulating that and we hope to get on the agenda in the june meeting. But in essence, the deferral is great, but any type of balloon payment down the road is essentially putting off the inevitable. That is a cyanide tablet that will kill every business on the port to come up with capital that does not exist and we need to talk about new terms for leases. We need to talk about structuring successful financial agreements for all parties concerned so that we can, in fact, live through this together and prosper in the future. I like forwar look forward to te opportunity to speak with the commission again and thank you for this opportunity and again, i also hope that you all are well as is the case with your families, too. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, mr. Osborne. We have received your letter and im sure the support staff is working on the restaurant. I appreciate this. We are entering this eyes and ears wide open. Thank you. Any other callers . Operator at this time, no other members of the public on the phone wishing to make Public Comment. Public comment is now closed. Item 6, the executive directors report. Good afternoon, commissioners. I am katie patricioni, acting currently as the ports executive director. I have two items for you this afternoon. First, i just wanted to start with an update on the fire this saturday at pier 45. Just to give you all an update. Longterm impact of the fire is yet to be seen, but we are very concerned about our tenant who were previously grapples with the impact of covid1 covid19 d who have lost such a great deal in the fire. Were grateful to the San Francisco fire and Police Department and economic work development, as well as other City Partners who have come together to help us respond to the fire. A fouralarm fire broke out on the morning of may 23rd. It looks like shed c is an absolute total loss. The Fire Department has remained on site as shed c is an active fire scene. There was a slash yesterday, scott fire continued to smoulder and they continued to pour water on the site. We anticipate the fire wil department will be out at the site for the rest of the week. The investigation into the cause and origin of the fire will be forthcoming as soon as its safe for investigators to begin their work. And similarly, structure investigations will begin as soon as its safe. Port staff, red tag and the Port Engineering Division conducted just an initial windshield inspection and made some observations of the perimeter and have not been able to get closer than that. We are hoping tomorrow there will be a perimeter inspection from the water with the thirdparty Engineering Firm who will give us a sense of how the substructure fared in the fire. Shed c was used for storage and the red and white fleet had storages in shed c. There were 35 tenants impacted in shed c. The rest of the site, shed a, as know, is home to the new day mecanicue anque and not impacte. There is the commercial industry and where food processers are based was not directly impacted by the fire. There are 65 tenants overall. It did not spread to pier 45, for which were so grateful to the quick work of the Fire Department. Port staff heard directly from tenants, to provide updates and provide answers. We have offered assistance to the dislocated tenants and were working with red an and white to find alternative space for them. We have brought in cleaning contractors to systematically clean all in sheds a, b and d with the priorities on sheds b and d. Theres concern that much of the gear stored in shed c included plastics, among other things, and therefore, the smoke from the fire may have contaminated some of the space in sheds a, b and d which is why we have the cleaning contractors out. We were able to clean three of the unit yesterday and we expect to complete five more by the end of the day today. Weve been working to help impacted tenants, as well as to provide Technical Assistance for doing things like e like ennatur insurers. We have engaged with the citys risk manager to begin the processinprocessinga claim. We will begin wor working with e insurer to determine what our next steps will be. Thanks to the quick work of the San FranciscoFire Department, Jeremiah Obrien survived the fire is we will be moving that to pier 35. She was close to visitors because of the health order and will remain closed while at pier 35. And then i just wanted to close by saying two things. One, our collective heart goes to all who have been affected by the fire, particularly the Fishing Community who lost equipment in shed c. This is a devastating loss and the port will do everything that we can to support the Fishing Community through this recovery. And then, finally, i would like to thank all of the port staff who have responded magnificently to yet another disaster. And so, just quickly, that would include tom carter, Oscar Wallace and tim sulton, as well as the many maintenance staff who responded to pier 45 on saturday morning. I want to thank rod washington for his expertise is guidance, randy kisada who was been working incredibly hard to keep the information flowing to the public and press, joe riley, the ports emergency manager who got the first call early on saturday morning and who has been on site every single day and then finally, our real estate staff, particularly demetris omyle, who has been patient and compassionate and supporting the pier 45 tenants through this crisis. My next update is slightly happier news. So i want to announce that downtown ferry termal, click completion is imminent and will open in the next couple of weeks. So, ass know, project completion was somewhat delayed by the onset of covid19 and, unfortunately, the Public Health crisis is going to prevent us from a ribboncutting ceremony but i wanted to acknowledge the dedication and hard work who brought this project to completion. This was absolutely a collaborative effort not only among port staff but the port and leadoff. This is an example of what happens with collaboration and partnership and i hope we ca thw facility south of Ferry Building includes six ferry berths including the ferry bay passengers, the current routes including richmond, harbor bay and arbanita oakland and it will expand service to deep plain lagoon and Mission Island and includes a new public plaza between the Ferry Building and ag building. The new gates and amenities will significantly improve waiting and cueing for listing riders and they will expand the Space Available for stage emergency Transit Service in the event of a regional transportation disruption or disaster. So i just want to ask everyone to join me in congratulating the completion of this project. This is good news amidst the challenges of the pandemic and we know as the bay Area Recovery occurs, this will support increased transit across the bay and that concludes the exclusive directors participan report. Thank you. Now lets e open this up to pubc comment. We will open the phone line. Operator you will be entered into the system in the order you dial 10 and the system will let you know when the line is open and others will wait on mute until the line is up open and comments are limited to three minutes aperson. Dial 10 if you wish to make Public Comment. Thank you, jennica. Anyone on the phone . Operator at this time, no callers are on the line for Public Comment on this item. Thank you. No callers on the line and Public Comment is closed. Operator your question is now in question and answer mode. Press 10. President brandon, wish item are you on . Were on the executive directors report. You referenced insurance and could you elaborate on whose policy it is and is it the ports . Are we partially selfinsured . Is it an insurance policy under the leases . Do the tenants have an place to obtain their own insurance for their business component of their operations so we can have an understanding of the insurance that will be available for recovery . Certainly, commissioner. So the port is insured. Our property is insured and we have been working with the citys risk manager to begin what will likely be a lengthy claims process with the goal, ultimately, of rebuilding this facility. So were in the process of gathering information. But the port itself is absolutely going to pursue a claim with our insurer for this building. Would you mind, and maybe this will be helpful for the full commission, if we could identify each tenant that was affected and whether the port has or has not received a certificate of insurance in accordance with that tenants obligation for Insurance Coverage . Yes, we can absolutely do that. Thank you very much. Madam president , that concludes my questions. Thank you, president Brandon Partnership just wanted to say to katie and the whole port staff how much i appreciate your Quick Response to the staff and the fire. I wanted to commend the port staff on incredible work in yet another crisis and also to acknowledge that im sure there were challenges in dealing with this crisis in the middle of covid19 and the pandemic and so i just wanted to give a shoutout to the staff. Thank you. Thank you. Ill echo what commissioner gillman said and the tenants and support staff and all of the city agencies that helped to address this issue. I have a couple of questions. I understand there are a lot of things we dont have the answers to as far as how we go from here, but the question would be, and im sure, are there any alternatives to help the tenants to resume operations because rebuilding the shed will take a fair amount of time . And are there any restrictions on rebuilding the shed . And secondly, are there alternatives for some of these tenants to temporarily operate out of other space . Because the fishing industry would be a tremendous loss for San Francisco not to be able to have the fishing industry and if we waited for the shed t shed te rebuilt, i cant imagine it will be timely. A lot of effort and so what can we do to help the tenants to get through this. I understand the Administrative Offices have been impacted and willie has been sharing from tom esher, they are determined to resume operations but losing the administrative building has not put them out of business but the fishing industry is what they are concerned with and what can they do in the interim to help them get through this . Obviously, they have a financial loss, but in terms of operationally, how want we help them . So, commission b commissiones primary being used as Storage Space and so, we are as well as for red and white, had their offices there and they were helping them find a place to relocate, but by and large, i believe the real losses to the Fishing Community is the gear that all of the gear and equipment that was stored in that shed which is, basically, a total loss. The Fish Processing really is happening in sheds b and d and everywherother than the fact weo get in and make sure the spaces are cleaned up, i dont think that community is necessarily going to see a Significant Impact to its operation. And so, i think, you know, on the one hand, theres a benefit to the fact that we are really using shed c only as warehouse space. And so, i dont know the daytoday operations, other than red and white will be disrupted. Thank you, thats very helpful. Hopefully they can replace their gear if they get insurance funds to recoupe that and youre saying boats and everything else, they can resume fishing. In terms of just even the pier space or what they need to unload, thats not affected . So, its still an active fire scene and so, there are still fire trucks and hoses out there. And as well as the fact that the valley, the space that runs between the sheds is impacted by the fact that there are still some walls standing in shed c that are a hazard in terms collapse. So were definitely limiting access to the southeast portion of pier 45 because of that fact. And im not sure exactly what impact that is having on the processers in sheds b and d. But i believe they have other means of accessing their facilities. Thank you very much. Thank you. Vice president adams. Katie, i just wanted to thank you and all of the port staff and the heroic action of the firefighters with 125 firefighters that were down there putting their lives on the line. Im just glad there was no loss of life. And i think commissioner mackerd said something about insurance but it can be built back up. They can continue and you just have to keep them in our thoughts and we will get through this. And going back to what commission wohaul said, i know the guys have been through a lot and were hoping we can do everything to help them and they were able to salvage the Jeremiah Obrien and hats off to everybody. Thank you. Thank you so much for this board and truly want to thank the support staff. Vice president and adam adams ae getting updates and i want to thank everybody and who a huge shoutout to the Fire Department for their efforts. This could have been much worse than it was. So our hear
