Welcome by MCAC Co‐chair, Ellen Johnck 2013 review: Piers 30‐32; Giants Mission Bay; Port’s 150th Anniversary; America’s Cup; Transportation Plan; SF Supervisors Sail‐In There have not been any recent meetings with the Mayor’s office on the Warriors project at Piers 30/32 (last was 2/22/2013). There will most likely be a ballot measure regarding the arena in November 2014. There have not been any recent meetings with the Giants regarding Seawall Lot 337 Giants Mission Bay project. The Port’s 150th Anniversary celebration began on April 24, 2013, and will continue through April 23, 2014. The Embarcadero banners will come down due to space and time limitations. The Port is working with BCDC to keep the informational pylons in place. The Port spent approximately $20 million on America’s Cup. This includes permanent improvements to the waterfront (bike lanes, Jefferson Street expansion, etc.). Due to AC34, shoreside power was installed at Pier 70 to offset the temporarily shut down at Pier 27. 1 The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority are collaborating on the development of the San Francisco Transportation Plan. The California Freight Advisory Commission is putting together a California State Freight Plan with Caltrans. MARAD and others have been urging Caltrans to have water as part of the CA Freight Plan. The MTC is also working on a Regional Freight Plan with their main focus on Alameda County. The MCAC Supervisors “Sail‐In” in November 2013 was a success. MCAC members had individual meetings with all 11 Supervisors and familiarized them with MCAC and Port issues. Supervisor Breed District #5 is interested in a Port Water Tour. 2014 action items: Piers 30‐32: Giants Mission Bay, Transportation Plan Request the Mayor’s office to attend a future MCAC meeting (target March 20) to give an official update on the Warriors project at Piers 30/32. Request SF Giants representatives to attend a future MCAC meeting (target May 15) to give an official update on the Mission Bay project.

Ship Repair had highest gross revenue in 2013; increased revenue was due to the shoreside power project; drydock can handle larger military ships which require greater electrical surge; these ships come in with $6‐12 million contract; Port receives 3.3% of gross revenue. 3. 2013 Updates – Peter Dailey: 2014 Calendars are available. Gerry Roybal again did a stellar job on this outstanding maritime promotional piece. Leslie Katz was elected as Port Commission President, and Willie Adams as Vice President. Bill Dunbar is the new General Manager at BAE Systems, Pier 70 Shipyard. Previous GM Hugh Vanderspek was promoted and has moved to Mobile, Alabama. Tom Escher of Red & White Fleet was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle on January 13, 2014 regarding his Bilingual Program. Copy and paste this link: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/nevius/article/Red‐and‐White‐Fleet‐returns‐to‐Chinatown‐youth‐ 5139803.php 2 Google has begun a trial ferry service between San Francisco and Redwood City for its employees. The boat is crewed by union workers, and the schedule does not interfere with existing ferry schedules. Copy and paste this link: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/01/07/google‐launches‐private‐sf‐bay‐ferry‐service‐to‐shuttle‐ workers/ In 2013, the Port had approximately 200 vessel calls of all types (cruise, cargo, navy, layberths), 2 million tons of aggregate cargo, over 3 million ferry passengers, and over 200K cruise passengers. Phase 1 of the new James R. Cruise Terminal at Pier 27 was completed on schedule and under budget. Pier 27 served as the America’s Cup Village between March‐October 2013. Phase 2 construction is now underway, and the first cruise ship call is expected in September 2014. The Mayor has submitted a letter to the AC organizing committee to host the next America’s Cup in 2017. The Port took over management of South Beach Harbor last year and implemented a rate increase. We had record ship repair in utilization and revenue. We have an amazing 2014 coming up! 4. Other: The TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant budget has been increased to $600 million. The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is managing the $15 million grant to upgrade the rail tracks at the Oakland Army base. Maritime Day will be in May 2014. The Port of San Francisco will be honored at 14th annual Maritime Leadership Symposium held in Sacramento on February 19‐20, 2014. The Port is involved in a dinner sponsored by the Coast Guard Foundation on April 17, 2014. This organization raises money to help Coast Guard personnel and their families with scholarships and benefits where there is no coverage. September 6, 2014, is the planned date for the commissioning of a new navy ship, USS America, an aircraft carrier. The ship will be in San Francisco for 1 week with 1,200 crew members. After commissioning, the ship will be homeported in San Diego. Congratulations to Maritime staff on Port service milestones: Gerry Roybal completed 20 years of service, and Denise Turner completed 35 years of service. Tideline Marine began offering water taxi service in 2012. They are an on‐call service and operate with 1 six‐pack vessel. Tideline has extended their lease for another 10 years. SF Water Taxi, operated by Dave Thomas, is the Port’s newest water taxi operator. Service will begin imminently (lease is being processed). One boat is up and running and a second boat is in for a full rehab. Dave’s target is to have 25K passengers a year. 5.

  • Sausalito's Vision for 2040
    The introductory chapter provides an overview of the General Plan, describing the purpose of the plan and its role for the City of Sausalito. The Introduction includes Sausalito’s Vision for 2040, the Authority and Purpose, Organization of the Sausalito General Plan, Implementation of the Plan, Public Participation in Creating the Plan, Sausalito’s History, and Future Trends and Assumptions. SAUSALITO’S VISION FOR 2040 VISION STATEMENT Sausalito is a thriving, safe, and friendly community that sustainably cultivates its natural beauty, history, and its arts and waterfront culture. Due to sea level rise and the continuing effects of climate change, the city seeks to bridge the compelling features and attributes of the city’s past, particularly its unique shoreline neighborhoods, with the environmental inevitabilities of its future. Sausalito embraces environmental stewardship and is dedicated to climate leadership while it strives to conserve the cultural, historic, artistic, business and neighborhood diversity and character that make up the Sausalito community. OVERALL COMMUNITY GOALS The General Plan Update addresses the new and many continuing issues confronting the city since the General Plan was adopted in 1995. The General Plan Update also responds to the many changing conditions of the region, county, and city since the beginning of the 21st century. The following eleven broad goals serve as the basis for more specific policies and implementation strategies. 1. Maintain Sausalito’s small-scale residential neighborhoods, recognizing their geographical, architectural, and cultural diversity, while supporting a range of housing options. 2. Recognize and perpetuate the defining characteristics of Sausalito, including its aesthetic beauty, scenic features, natural and built environment, its history, and its diverse culture.

  • Park Report Part 1
    Alcatraz Island Golden Gate National Recreation Area Physical History PRE-EUROPEAN (Pre-1776) Before Europeans settled in San Francisco, the area was inhabited by Native American groups including the Miwok, in the area north of San Francisco Bay (today’s Marin County), and the Ohlone, in the area south of San Francisco Bay (today’s San Francisco peninsula). Then, as today, Alcatraz had a harsh environment –strong winds, fog, a lack of a fresh water source (other than rain or fog), rocky terrain –and there was only sparse vegetation, mainly grasses. These conditions were not conducive to living on the island. These groups may have used the island for a fishing station or they may have visited it to gather seabird eggs since the island did provide a suitable habitat for colonies of seabirds. However, the Miwok and Ohlone do not appear to have lived on Alcatraz or to have visibly altered its landscape, and no prehistoric archeological sites have been identified on the island. (Thomson 1979: 2, Delgado et al. 1991: 8, and Hart 1996: 4). SPANISH AND MEXICAN PERIOD (1776-1846) Early Spanish explorers into Alta California encountered the San Francisco Bay and its islands. (Jose Francisco Ortega saw the bay during his scouting for Gaspar de Portola’s 1769 expedition, and Pedro Fages described the three major islands –Angel, Alcatraz, and Yerba Buena –in his journal from the subsequent 1772 expedition.) However, the first Europeans to record their visit to Alcatraz were aboard the Spanish ship San Carlos, commanded by Juan Manuel de Ayala that sailed through the Golden Gate and anchored off Angel Island in August 1775.

  • "Port of San Francisco Shoreside Power Project Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Contact: Mayor’s Office of Communications, 415-554-6131 Renée Dunn Martin, Port of San Francisco, 415-274-0488 *** PRESS RELEASE *** MAYOR NEWSOM AND THE PORT OF SAN FRANCISCO INAUGURATE CRUISE SHIP USING SHORESIDE POWER San Francisco is first California city where cruise ships can plug in for clean power San Francisco, CA— Mayor Gavin Newsom and the Port of San Francisco today joined Princess Cruises and state and federal agency partners to officially inaugurate shoreside power at Pier 27, allowing Island Princess to shut down her engines and receive clean power from the City’s electrical grid. The Port of San Francisco became the first California port, and one of only a handful of ports in the world, to provide shoreside electrical power for cruise ships while at berth. “Once again we are demonstrating that doing right by the environment doesn’t come at the expense of jobs and economic growth,” said Mayor Newsom. “With shoreside power, we can welcome a growing number of cruise ships and the tourist dollars they bring to San Francisco while protecting the Bay and our local air quality.” Shoreside power results in zero air emissions while a ship is connected in port. This new system is not only the first in the state, but just the fourth in the world. The other cruise ports with shoreside power are Juneau (Alaska), Seattle (Washington), and Vancouver (Canada). The ports of Los Angeles and San Diego also plan to implement this system. Island Princess is operated by Princess Cruises, who developed the shore power technology in Juneau in 2001.

  • The Emergence of Mission Bay
    CONTEXT 02 Context 02 CONTEXT Seawall Lot & Pier 48 occupy an important and highly visible corner of San Francisco’s waterfront. The development plan for this site must respect its context as a waterfront property, a part of the Mission Bay community, and a neighbor of the ballpark. Our proposed plan for Mission Rock is designed to accomplish these necessary goals. 26 MISSION ROCK Context 27 28 MISSION ROCK A HISTORY OF SUCCESS WORKING TOGETHER Complicated projects along the waterfront take time and require dedication and teamwork. Our team has worked effectively in partnership with the Port of San Francisco before, achieving great success together and making lasting positive contributions to our City. The ballpark is a good example. In 1995, the Giants were a financially struggling baseball franchise, playing in one of the worst sports facilities in the country. In March of 1996, however, the voters of San Francisco overwhelmingly approved the idea of constructing a new ballpark at China Basin. The vote, however, was only the beginning of the journey. Before any construction could begin, the Giants and the Port had to conduct a comprehensive environmental assessment of the project, assemble different parcels of land, negotiate a complicated real estate transaction, and gain local, regional and state regulatory approvals. Together, the Giants and the Port successfully and efficiently navigated the complicated process required of waterfront development projects. As the project approached final approval, proceeded through construction and opened with celebration, it became more and more popular. One of the hallmarks of our success was involving local residents, businesses and stakeholders in the process, giving them a seat at the table and a voice in the development and operation of the ballpark.
