The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named San Francisco historic embarcadero district to the 2016 list of americas 11 most engangered places. This annual list spotlights the nations architectural and Cultural Heritage and spotlights those resources that are at risk of destruction or irreparable budget. More than 260 sites have been on the list over the 29 history of that list and in that time fewer 5 of the sites have been lost. We aim for the embarcadero district district among those that survive. The National Trust for Historic Preservation a privately funded Nonprofit Organization works to save americas historic places. Can you learn more about the organization at www, saving places. Org. This list is really highlighting that our embarcadero Historic District has two major threats its facing, earthquake and Sea Level Rise. The district is incredibly important as the front door to San Francisco and offers a unique experience for visitors and locals alike and defines our beloved San Francisco bay. It of course is an Enormous Economic engine for our region and city and we realize this risk of course requires all of us to Pay Attention and be involved in a solution to the future of our embarcadero Historic District. I would like to thank mark paez for all the work hes done related to this and we also have mark beuller from San Francisco heritage and anthony vendor camp from the National Trust and i would like to invite both up to briefly address the commission. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is mike beuller and president and ceo of San Francisco heritage. Our group was founded in 1971 with a mission to preserve and enhance San Francisco unique architectural and cultural identity. We have a long history at the port involving port Historic Resources including our collaboration with the port in the late 90s and 2000s nom naming them to the register and with the port city and based on the nomination of the port district. San francisco heritage is the party who nominated the Historic District for the 11 more endangered list and i just wanted to explain what motivated us to do so. As alluded by director forbes we wanted to spotlight the dual threats and the urgency faced by the Historic Resources along the waterfront and also given the daunting issues that they present wanted to elevate this issue to a National Profile and bring in expertise of an organization like the National Trust to provide initial expertise based on work across the country and challenges posed by Sea Level Rise. We hope ultimately the endangered listing will evolve and become a National Treasure designation by the National Trust which will enable the trust to dedicate resources and staff over longterm to the issue. Were lucky to have one of the experts here in San Francisco anthony who i will introduce momentarily. We go back about 20 years now and hes a great friend and colleague and i would like to introduce him to explain a little bit more about the 11 most endangered listing and the trusts potential contribution for Creative Solutions to these issues. Thank you. Thank you mike and good afternoon commissioners. Thanks for allowing me to speak briefly about our decision to list the embarcadero Historic District on our annual list of engangered places. Just want to say a little more about why it was that we selected this resource on our list. We recognize Climate Change and Sea Level Rise has unprecedented threats to our Cultural Heritage but San Francisco faces the additional threat as we all know of earthquakes and its the dual threats that really require this community, this port of San Francisco, and the city of San Francisco to take action and not kick the can on threats that cant be avoided. We are looking for to assist in making sure that these solutions taplet expertise of the port and the city has demonstrated in the realm of Historic Preservation and the expertise youve demonstrated on sustainability and resilience planning. I want to highlight the planning were in now, the Ferry Building was awarded a Historic Preservation trust award for the adapted use of the facility which is a great model for the country so were hoping to see planning and implementation for the embarcadero Historic District but likewise becomes a model for the rest of the country. We understand that Everyone Needs to apply creativity to unprecedented threats, but want to underscore the centrality of the historic significance of the port and planning Going Forward and believe we can protect this asset while addressing these threats so we look forward working with the city and the port and the Community Moving Forward to make sure that the community recognizes the investment that is required both for our culture and for the safety and economy of the community.

Item 11 a informational presentation regarding the final report to the Mission CreekSea Level Rise adaptation study. Good afternoon commissioners. Interim director forbes and members of the public. I am brad benson and in charge of special projects for the port. I am here with a team of folks who took a look at Sea Level Rise and one of the lowest lying areas of the port, the Mission Creek area. I have with me laura tam who is the sustainability director with spur and peter wiessman who is Vice President ofar kaidace. Spur project managed this study for the through lauras work and peters team put together the study. This was a collaboration that started in 2013. Bcdc brought the opportunity to the port for grant funds through the dutch government. There was an 80,000 commitment that went along with their Engineering Services and the city ended up putting in 150,000 through a variety of City Departments, San Francisco public works, the Public Utilities commission, the City Administrators Office and the Planning Department and the port, and it was really a first effort of City Departments to get together, work together, with stakeholders in the area. We worked with corine woods who is here and participated in the project, and to think about what to do with the shoreline in the event of significant Sea Level Rise. Im going to turn over the mic pretty quickly but i will say why we chose Mission Creek. The port conducted a urs Sea Level RiseRisk Assessment just looking with Different Levels of Sea Level Rise , what areas of the shoreline would be subject to flood risk, the maps that were produced part of that study showed a problem hot spot in the Mission Creek area with interesting hydro dynamics and have mission bay not connected to the sewer system so stormwater is flowing to Mission Creek and the confluence of that with Sea Level Rise and storm surge in the creek and potentially really difficult problem. This is meant to be a thought study. Were not seeking a specific solution to Sea Level Rise in the Mission Creek area. Its really meant to be more of an imagination exercise to think about what the shoreline could be, what the creek could be, without recommending a specific alternative, and we think that this is the kind of dialogue that were going to have to have more and more. How we envisioning the shoreline in San Francisco with Sea Level Rise on the horizon . So i would like to turn it over to laura first. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much commissioners and everyone who is here today. Its a real pleasure to get to talk to you about the study we have been working hard on for the last many months and its been a really wonderful collaboration, public, private, across City Departments and the state with bcdcs involvement and of course with our Dutch Research partners and engineers who did a great job preparing the report so im going to talk a little bit about the work that we did in pulling together the study, what we found and then i will turn it over to peter to talk about some of the design alternatives that were laying out in the stu
