If anyone needs information to vote go to sfelections. Gov. They stay open untille p. M. Im going to enter the economic recovery. Were entering the holiday season, which is a great time to welcome people to the front. We have been bringing people to the water front and this is a sign of our revival and economic recovery. At the direction of the Port Commission this summer and fall, we welcome back millions of people and we reviewed our commitment to providing a clean, safe equity and vibrant water front. This water front activities continues to fill water port revenues. Im happy to report that International Passenger traffic which was very slow to recover has now accelerated and is the same as prepandemic domestic traffic. Same level as domestic traffic. Were looking forward to crab season this winter and the water to table fresh free food experience. Crab season, the San Francisco fort boats have reported limits on all trips so far. The department of fish and wildlife have have four years in a row. And this is because of the mie grietion patterns of humpback whales along the coast. We know that we will enjoy the delicious crab when its time. Another assessment of fishing grounds will be conducted around november 23, and were all hoping that commercial fisheries will open as soon as possible. In more water front activation, they have secured off the grid at our terminal plaza to give in a world renown open space with spectacular views. 26 and 27 and even more exciting news to share for our recovery just last friday, mayor breed announced 9. 6 Million Dollars grant award to the port and the city from president biden, Speaker Pelosi and u. Stauts dot as secretary butajudge. The grant was made possible by a buy partisan and additional appropriation. As you know, am dor is a gateway to our Maritime District which provides local jobs for working people and in Diverse Industries and this grant highlights how were prioritizing and mater activities in our recovery. The roadway will be rebuilt and this will bolt storm water drainage and improve surrounding landscape in the southern water front too. We have appreciated president adams for attending and bringing key leadership from the fed cal and transportation mater sectors. We tour chairman, daniel from the federal mayority time. Weve had enormous success securing state and federal funds these last two years. I would like for to you legislative manager from l provide more of an update at this time. Good afternoon, commissioners, thank you director forbeses, im the affairs manager. Ill provide an update on some of the legislative priorities, we pursued in calendar year 2022 in the past two years, significant attention and resources have been dedicated to ports in bolting sacramento and washington dc. Working with our federal lobbyist and Industry Partners like the California Association of port authorities along with your support, weve been successful in getting in front of policy makers to advocate for our interest. As director forbeses menged, we were notified last week for a federal grant award for amdore street. It was made possible by infrastructure plan. It was funded by the Port Infrastructure program or pidp its our first allocation from the infrastructure plan. The pidp is a reoccurring program that is fully funded for the next five years. Well be applying for more grants in years to come. In 2022, we had submitted a four Million Dollars funding request for amdoer. That was denied, following the denial, we did a deep debrief to discuss our strengths and weaknesses and incorporated their recommendations to our application. We toured our facility with gus hine, hes the merit directer of midpacific gateway. And in april, director forbeses and andre, met with deputy secretary of transportation under pete baoudabich and that help push our application to the top. As you know, pelosi has been an incredible advocate for our office. Applications for the future p id p applications. Upcoming calls for projects, including the race program in december and protect in early 2023. Both of these are opportunities for resilience planning to support along the water front to compliment our army corps of engineer program. Were also awaiting details from the Environmental Agency on the process and schedule to award approximately 3 million in port he electrification funding made available available through the past act. Expect today grow two and a half times and this is a timely and key funding opportunities that were keeping an eye on. Now turning to state advocacy, the fiscal 2223 budget was very good for ports in california. It includes. 2 billion dollars for one time port and freight Infrastructure Program administered by calsta to help ease congestion. Weve monitored and add advancements, earlier this year, we joined other california ports to ensure that the funding for ports remain high in the state budget. But also to make sure that the rules that are established around disbursement are, beneficial to the port of San Francisco. Along with our partners in san diego, we made a good case for the role but small and midsize ports like ours play, more resilient across the state. Last month with application due in early january. Were working with maritime to target a 40 Million Dollars grant to support projects in our mer ilt time complex. Through the budget also adopted 140 Million Dollars in Sea Level Rise funding with priority going to urban water fronts ports and eco systems. This is significant as its the first time urban water fronds has identified as a sea level preference. The first will be this fiscal year and the port is well positioned to compete for the dollars and get the dollars to secure additional funding. We the port in the budget also includes 55 Million Dollars from the California Energy commission for ports to prepare for the Rapid Development of board industry offered by former Assembly Member and current City Attorney david should you who laid the groundwork. We met with representatives from the California EnergyCommission Last month to understand the process, and made clear that we support the state in achieving their offshore wind goals. And then finally, in august the state Land Commission allocated the 2. 2 Million Dollars in covid relief funding. This was the last traufrj made available from the total 250 Million Dollars that came from the through the state from the American Rescue plan. In total San Francisco received over 116 Million Dollars in arpa funding. In terms of next step is were working on the grant for cal . Nd sta. The photograph on this slide was taken through a boat tour that we provided. His teams were here to submit some of the projects that we were having. Thank you president adams for participating in that tour. Our coo will be participating in the panel tomorrow at the Floating Wind u. S. A. Conference being held in japan town. I participated in the committee facilitated by cap a and we feel like were well positioned on the offshore wind front. Also work withing the our lobbyist on electric frickation and ill turn to Poor Commission to layout our priorities for the coming year. In closing, i want to acknowledge the good work of our lobbyist. And you for helping us happen. This is a promising and exciting time for ports in california and i look forward to providing additional updates if they become available and ill pass it back to director forbeses. Thank you, brice, that was very informative and excite ing. Now i would like to turn to equity. Our tenants continue to prioritize equity and were seeing more and more results. Building on the juneteenth on the water front events, we have partnered with the Human Rights Commission and dream and sponsor food wise, former quesa pop ups on the sarah. At the fairy terminal plaza, the first event was late last month and it was very successful. Thank you commissioner brandon for your leadership on this effort. And 15 different vendors featured in an activation on pier 70 where people ate and drank and discovered artisan products. President walton was in attendance so were excited that our partners are providing this opportunity. Were celebrating native American Heritage month and Indigenous Peoples month, focusing on resee yens culture and achievement. Today native americans represent less than 1 of the population in california. While this is small, the port is committed to creating a diverse and Equity Organization that reflects representation throughout the ranks of our workforce. In celebrating the native American History and culture as part of the ports goal to create a culture of inclusion and belonging. Also all port staff will participate in equity training before the end of this year. This is foundational to become anti racist organization. To recilience. Last month, we updated on the work that were doing with the Army Corporate of engineers. Theyre up for Public Feedback and we have a goal to reach a draft plan in the sum cer of 2023. Two weeks ago, we hosted a Community Mixer at a frick and bay view kitchen. It was a great he vept. We can see the trust building so were ready to engage on the staff strategies. Happening through storytelling and surveys. In the coming months, well ram up evidentlier with the Army Corporate of engineering and communities city wide working on a plan. The best ideas will come together to create a plan. Were moving ahead to advance interventions including the early projects along the embarcadero. What happens along the water front impacts San Franciscos from every corner nft city and the scale of change necessary provides a once in a generational opportunity to get our water front right and give it to future generations. Now to key project to enhance the experience, the San FranciscoArts Commission is inviting team to qualifications from an art piece. From a large sculpture to series of smaller sculpture. The rfp is through october 2 and applications will be accepted until midnight. Once the committee has been scored well be bringing to the Art Commission in september of 2023.

So in closing, finally commissioners consistent with the write off policy adopted pursuant torres losing 2211, summarizing the accounts which accounts have 30 days before you process. If you have any concerns, please contact me within 30 days and we can schedule a future Commission Item to discuss. And in closing, dont forget the tree lot that uses our own piers, 32, 59 embarcadero. Its the selfhelp organization for former substance disorders, incarcerated individuals and homeless and others who have hit bottom and on their way up once they hit the street. The lot opens after thanksgiving. And finally, finally, in the spirit of gratitude, i would like to offer gratitude to our staff and commission, who serve our city and residents and meet our port mission and as we approach the end of 2022, its a good time to reflect on how much weve accomplished as an organization.
