Caller hi, my name is alex and im a neighbor of the port i live in the india basin neighborhood. For the past 20 years, and im sure certainly longer, the rendering plant at the pier has been obnoxious nuisance for the neighborhood, especially during the summertime. Especially when the winds start growing off the bay. This past spring and summer the plant has been especially bad and having been stuck here at home, the problem is much more noticeable. I used to be i was on the southern Waterfront Advisory Committee many years ago when the rendering plant was being expanded and we were promised state of the art odor control, per a community hotline, and a better management from the port and all of that has gone by the wayside. Its really vital that the port get a hold of its and if the lessee cant correct their behavior they should shut it down. Thank you, we appreciate your call. Are there any other callers . At this time, there are no other callers on the phone wishing to make Public Comment on this item. Thank you. Seeing no more callers on the phone, Public Comment is now closed. Next item, please.

We are in the final two weeks of our listening tour for phase 1 of the Racial Equity action plan. I want to acknowledge staff who have engage and offered ideas on ways the port can be a more equitable workplace. More diverse and inclusive. As on starringization. Our Racial Equity action plan is meant to be reflective of the ports collective voice and were working to do that. Im happy to announce the port has replaced Board Legislative Affairs manager as the ports rep ten to the lbe advisory subcommittee and they served on the lbe advisory subcommittee since 2016, he actually replaced me when i became port director and received an award for contribution from the Sub Commission on departure. Whether the current lbc program and related contracting processes have had the effect of reducing and reversing discrimination against black Indigenous People of color and womenowned businesses will be informing our efforts and advance equity. These finding will be important to the city and the port as we advance equity results across our systems and programs. The ertf released a report and policy recommendations at its final meeting following months of stakeholder convenings. It was task force carmen chiu, jojose, president of the chamber of commerce rodney fong and the Labor Council rudy gonzalez.

Current staff is working to finalize the construction plans as well as with the puc and public works to finalize on site and off site utility plans and to allowable time extensions not for the control of tzk. They have evoked one of our agreement time extensions and called force because of the profound impact that covid19 is having on the Hospitality Industry locally and across the country and its extreme as we all know and Hotel Occupancy is currently at record lows and Construction Financing may not be available in 18 to 24 months, however, there is a bright line here. Despite the economic downturn tzk is remained committed to this project and will continue to monitor the market and keep this project moving forward. Port staff will Keep Commission in informed and were hopeful the project receives. And finally, id like toned my directors report by turning it over so my martin and the Waterfront Development and with staff and we felt we could have done did more in communicating with the process and first and foremost, development always on our waterfront and always draws a great deal of attention so the process can be complex or confusing to some and we really do need to have a shared understanding of our approach to Development Projects and where we are in this moment in time with the development proposals. First, the Port Commission and the port is absolutely committed to open and Transparent Development and we cannot develop our property or meet Port Commission mission without such a process and now to piers 30, 32 and 330. We have several failed developments at this site so the port staff work with Community Partners to develop a set of Community Values to perform the request for proposals and the development of a open competitive process for the sites. We did this of course with the commissions review approval and direction. We articulated Community Values and were put into that request for proposals and it yielded several responses proposals for the Port Commission consideration. The process that we set up front put the evaluation and review of the project proposals, which includes the project approach, Team Strength and capacity and all into the hands of an impartial and experienced panel. The panel was advisory to the Port Commission. Port staff served as referees of a fair and competitive process. Upon the commissioner selection of a proposal for negotiations, port staff will begin then working with the winner of that process to refine, actually develop a project plan to perfect the selected project proposals. In these negotiations the project proposal will naturally evolve to incorporate solutions to concerns raised to the parties and the public. The project that is to be developed will change from the proposal that we all saw as part of the competition and again, these solutions will be crafted and will be consistent with our fee objectives and Community Values that we screen for and had a competition for in that rfp. We had a similar approach to our solicitation for Development Partners at pier 70 and this was approach and solicitation and and well close thank you for allowing lengthy directors report. Please take it away, mike. Michael martin, real estate and development. Can i have my first slide. I think director forbes very well summarized this first slide. The basically, the process that we filed for request for proposals on those two recent transactions at piers 38 and 40 being one and 332 and 330 being the other followed the recommendations update and we brought these recommendations back for februar specific guidar the past year as we geared up and issued those rfps and our plan is to continue to do so including to continue to follow these steps including with the item on todays agenda regarding to building 49 down at crane cove park. I wanted to walk through these when we wept on the prior rfps and were hopefully going to go. First, well come to you and we are coming to you today for a hearing to initiate the Rfp Development process. That is a hearing that we had for each of those prior rfps prior to issuing those rfps as well and its an opportunity to port staff to come thinking about why a project at this location of the coined that were proposing t would be beneficial to the port and beneficial to the city at large. They give feedback and staff will go off and start with step two which is an engagement relevant to that site its to develop some values and priors that with would bake into the rfp document that we establish this Community Dialogue that were saying to proposers, here is what weve established what we value from a project here and what you should prioritize in your project proposal. After that engage. , we come back to the Port Commission and provide more details on how an rfp would be structure including a scoring structure and a scoring Panel Process and the Port Commission would hopefully give feedback and direct staff to develop draft and release the rfp. So, after that process is over, staff develops and releases the rfp. That will go out into the world and we hopefully get a number of responses as we did for the most recent two rfps and port staff would convene the scoring panel called for through the dialogue with the Port Commission and described in great detail in the rfp document. And in this point in time where director forbes describes it, were the referee. Reshmi were not engaging and were walking through the process to make sure that these proposals are presented back to you and the Port Commission and along with the scores from the qualified members of the scoring committee that have been selected both from city staff and public stakeholders with expertise in relative areas to the rfp so after that scoring panel is complete we come back with our report on the scoring and you are able to ask questions including firms that show and they are requested to make a selection and move forward and to say we reject these selections and were going to go forward in a different direction. That action has been taken for two projects very recently. One being pier 38 and 40 so that is a Selection Process weve been through and we wanted to highlight they get a good project so first step is to adopt an annex conclusive negotiate agreement and it will set fourth a set of milestones and schedule for doing all the things that are needed to get to anna provable project. Thats a movement in time that were negotiating a document that will show a roadmap that looks like the slide with much more detail in terms of specifically how much time that project will take to do these steps and what these steps look like from a staff perspective. Port staff with work to continue negotiations and refine the financial transaction of the project as well as the project description so hearing some of the comments weve heard from the community, are there ways we can evolve the project to start addressing those comments at this early stage . Then theres a point in time where we go back for tort of an i am process approval of first of all the Port Commission approving the non gaining term sheet to look at the negotiations and the transaction and the financials to make sure this is something we still want to our our way towards and then also going to the board of supervisors for their approval under the citys fiscal feasibility ordinance which requires them to look at a project and say it is feasible and worthy of the typ time and resources
