[laughter] i am the chief director of bauer's. i think jay degree job of

describing our business. i think he did a great job. we have been in business since 1997, jay. the main focus of our business is what we call commuter business, and the main goal is to take cars off the road. i could not help but think about an idea that i just had. the very individuals that you mentioned in the marathon, the music festival, the treasure island music festival, all those events are events we provide transportation for. i am sure we can tie-in the distribution of water with clean, affected transportation. we of a very good relationship with onboard entertainment, which is the founder -- i should say, the presenter of the

marathon. we are very interested and happy to stay in san francisco. it is very important to come up to our business. more importantly, to stay in the port. as jay said, we worked very closely. i want to commend jay and other members of the staff who have worked tirelessly with me to bring this to fruition. pier 50 is an ion tool location. -- is an ideal location. i think it works very well for both our businesses. we would hope that you would approve our arrangement here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i just have a question, jay. the.

versus -- the rent table versus the monthly credit, that is not after the rent credit? i am just trying to clarify. >> the rent credits will start on month eight. there are seven months of rent abatement. >> that would change the monthly rent that you love listed? >> yes, i am sorry. just to clarify. the actual rent will not start until the 18th month. >> ok, this is the gross rents? >> that is correct. yes. >> that does not have the credit reflected? >> no, that does not. >> what are the total rent credits? >> $550,000. those are for improvements such

as bathrooms, electrical, mechanical, things that would outlast a tenancy for instance. that we would utilize for another tenant. >> what is the total? >> it is up to $550,000. that is the maximum. >> what is the parameter read? >> what is the parameter rent? >> yes. >> the parameter redwood before -- -- the parameter or rent would be for, for instance, up $1.75 for the shed and 22 cents for the yard. we are below the parameter rents for the first three years on the shed and yard.

at that point it does go to parameter rent on year four. on shed a space, it is difficult to quantify the brent. have this office space. -- half is office space. you might have $1 rent. he would basically do that. so, after that, it does this at higher than normal schedule. we were above, exceeding 3%. >> i guess my question is was the difference in total number that we're losing compared to what we're getting? >> the total is $1.9 million,

ok? we were craftiness based on the total value of the port. how this goes a round is, we had a number we stayed with. we moved around to accommodate the tenant. >> thank you. >> for the first 17 months, we are looking essentially at about $1 million that is a foregone? then we have the seven months of rent credit, and then we have the t.i., is that correct? >> it is actually $875,000. >> right. ok. so, i guess your total of $9 million -- that is the parameter and today and you

redistributive did -- and you read distributed over 10 years? >> that is correct. >> is the $9 million included -- in other words, you to the tenures of parameter wrens, came up with the $9 million, and you said it would be $9 million, but it is different. it is not pro rated. >> just one last -- deputy city attorney reminded me, this is subject to board approval, board of supervisors approval. >> thank you. all in favor? resolution is approved.

>> thank you, commissioners. >> item 11, new business. >> is there any public comment on new business? >> commissioners, on new business, i just want to mention that the forward calendar for the january 10 meeting will now include an update on the cruise terminal as we discussed this morning, and it is our intention to bring you the ceqa findings on the project for mitigation at washington if that is adopted by the planning commission. if the eir is adopted by the planning commission before and. those are two adoptions. >> [unintelligible] >> january 25. pardon me. thank you.

>> i would actually like to move that we adjourn in honor of the entire port staff and their collective herculean efforts that got us here today. i looked that word up. [applause] >> aye. >> meeting adjourned at 3:19 p.m. >> i would like to think angela cavilo, the clerk of the board of supervisors, and her staff for offering their room today. thank you. i am sure i left 1 million people out. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. >> thank you.

happy holidays. >> please do not call us in the next two weeks. we are furloughed between christmas and new year's, so we go to the minimum staffing.

>> we're going to get started before everybody freezes. we want to welcome everybody to the groundbreaking of cayuga playground. is an important milestone for us. it was built in the 1950's and renovated almost 30 years ago. we are long overdue for the next renovation of this park. this particular neighborhood has become a family neighborhood. it is so important that we keep our playgrounds clean, safe, and fun. we're so grateful to the voters for supporting the 2008

neighborhoods park fund. the project is a $9.3 million project. about $8 million is from the bond. we're thrilled we received an $800,000 grant from the state to cultivate the open space. it has been a team effort. i want to acknowledge some folks who are here. this is in no particular order. i really want to thank barbara, josie, and all the folks from the cayuga improvement group. mohammed will speak and make some introductions. i want to thank lizzie hirsch, richard yee, marvin yee, our capital planning director. i want to thank courtney

representing the parks alliance. steve courier is here. thank you for being here. i want to thank the rec and park staff, bill o'brien, our new gardner. perhaps the biggest thank you and acknowledgment is to our beloved retired gardener at the cayuga playground, demnny. he immigrated to the country in 1973. he worked in the law firm became a gardener and singlehandedly took over the park. you can see some of his work scattered throughout the trails and beautiful urban landscape. he crafted about 350 beautiful

sculptures and characters. some of them have been safely tucked away for the renovation project. he will still see about 100. -- you will still see about 100 of them out here. you are a demigod to this park. thank you for being here. when the project is done, you will see a beautiful new clubhouse with a living roof. there will be landscape improvements. the street behind you will be part of the park. pavement to park. i want to introduce the park champion in chief who will say a few words, mayor ed lee. >> phil has gone through virtually all of the details that need to be mentioned. i feel safer being here with the cia. [laughter] i know the cayuga improvement

association was born back in the 1930's, 1937. it has been a stalwart group of volunteers in the community. i do not live far away. 10 years ago, i met demi. we did some cleanups here with you. i recall all the wonderful sculptures. i have snuck in here with my kids and visitors to show them how great it is to have these parks with people volunteering to do special things. i want to thank you for your leadership and sacrifices, all of your wonderful years of work. the park's alliance for your wonderful relationship and support, and our arts commission. they will be commencing another

great piece of our work here. it just goes to show all the city agencies working together and that we honor our parks in this city. this is a wonderful commitment. we are not leaving this district alone. you know that. we're coming out your for a great purpose. we want to show and demonstrate that every part of the city is worth every investment that we do, a special building strong neighborhoods. we have done that correctly here. this is well worth $9.3 million. it is a good investment. we will do more. phil will make sure that the commitment carries on. we do that by finishing the things we have committed to in the future. i know the staff is excited to be out here making commitments.

we are shovel ready with jobs. i want to thank mohammad for making sure that they work closely with the parks and a neighborhood association to do this. i am here to announce this but also to make sure that this is part of the long term commitment to every neighborhood in the city. we will continue this -- doing this and doing it well. >> you talked about the importance of jobs. there will be about 50 local jobs as a result of this construction project. you also talked about the importance of art in the parks. i want to recognize the president of the arts commission. there is a profoundly between art and our parks. that is probably no better exhibited than in this park thanks to demi's great work.

i want to call up susan to talk about that. >> this is a very unique opportunity for us here at cayuga park. we were called in to help preserve the unique sculptures. my colleague came out and catalog, photographed and catalog all 375 sculptures. within selected 130 to be taken and stored -- we then selected 130 to be taken and stored and stabilize to be reinstalled on the park is reopened. it is no small feat to stabilize wooden structures in a damp park. they have to be cleaned out, debugged, and then a protective

coat is put on them so they will be able to be in the park for years to come. it will continue the landmark status of this park. in addition to the conservation work, there is the new public art commission. eric was inspired by demi's work and has created these gateways sculptures that feature vignettes drawn from these works. the design echoes of how the plant life enhances the sculptures overtime. crowning the opening day, it

will have the name of cayuga on it. it will announce the injury to the park. it will be adorned with birds and wings. we're pleased to be part of a new park, new public commission, and preserving the work that came before us. thank you. >> thank you, susan. projects like this are all about partnership. i want to call up the director of public works. we work closely with them. we are incredibly grateful to you and your staff for all of your support, the engineering work, and your assistance with the construction management of the project. thank you. >> it is always a pleasure to join the parks department, arts commission, cayuga improvement

association, and community to celebrate this ground-breaking. we did relocate the street that leads into the park. as part of the design, there are a number of unique features. the first one is the living rooftop garden similar to ortega. dole be adding more green space and areas for butterflies and other creatures to enjoy. when i was raising my children, i came to the spark -- this part many time with the kids. we watched demi carve many of the sculptures. there are many hidden trails along the hillside and all- around. those will continue.

tdx will be the builder. it is a contractor we have worked together on a number of projects. they just finished the library at bernal and another library. they are a very good contractor. they work very well with the community. we have our team of architects, landscape architects, and the whole team along with our construction management team they will all make sure the project is finished on time and on budget. thank you for being here today. i am looking forward to the construction to start. >> last but certainly not least, i want to bring up chris dillon , the president of the cayuga improvement association. they have been involved in the design and planning process from the outset.

this is a neighborhood park. we will engage in our best efforts to make it what you want it to be. >> i wish i had the mayor's ability to speak so beautifully. i am going to lead. my comments are getting in thankfulness. this is testimony to the fact that collaboration among all stakeholders is possible and of the greatest value to the community. i am thankful that demi share his philosophy of life with the community. he transformed our failing part into a beautiful sanctuary full of amazing art. he has renewed our committee and created a beautiful community in our park is treasured by the residents of the neighborhood. it is recognized throughout the world as a uniquely sacred site. his powerful design and philosophy are validated by the fact that there are many stakeholders that come to the park seeking peace, renewal,

fun, exercise. it cannot be categorized. as a volunteer, i have witnessed the community to flourish. i am thankful for marvin yee's leadership. he embodies the best qualities of a civil servant. he has put together an expert team to focus on our shared vision. as a former leader, i know it is an almost impossible task. he has done it successfully. he has made this work appear easy. he is not only a consummate professional, he is a friend in our community. because of his leadership, every aspect of the project has been blessed by a spurt of respectful collaboration. he has never wavered from the mission of enhancing our sanctuary well-respected and protecting demi's vision. i also want to acknowledge

others for their many years of advocacy on the behalf of the park and playground. i am profoundly thankful to barbara and jesse -- josie the hours of hard work on this project. they have listened to committee members, they have mastered and grasp technical material. they've gone to meetings and hearings. they have made reports for our members and the committee. they've stretched far outside their comfort zone at times. as demi's chose an apprentice, josie has provided a vision for our team to work with. barb's communication has been indispensable to the project. if they had not volunteered for the project, it would have been diminished.

our community is a special part of the city. words cannot capture the magic of our part. it is a park in unique sanctuary. our community has been blessed by demi's vision, spirit, and artwork. we're blessed by community volunteers and residents. we're blessed to be served by our great city prepare to the park is at the heart of our city. -- request to be served by our great city. cayuga cairo the park is at the heart of our city. >> let's break some ground and cut the ribbon. marvin?
