CALL TO ORDER Airport Commission President Larry Mazzola called the Special Advisory Committee meeting to order at 10:03 am.

ROLL CALL Present: Larry Mazzola Anni Chung Linda Crayton Melinda Franklin Eleanor Johns John Martin Peter Stern Candace Sue

Absent: Anthony Ribera

ADOPTION OF MINUTES: Regular meeting of November 20, 2018. The October 16, 2018 minutes were adopted unanimously.

REVIEW OF LOCATION ALTERNATIVES Judi Mosqueda, Airport Director of Project Management, Presentation and Discussion

Good morning, Commissioners and committee members. I’m Judi Mosqueda, Director of Project Management. Today, what I will do is go very briefly through what we reviewed during the last presentation and then go through the follow up based upon the last meeting. So last meeting we reviewed four options for naming or dedicating locations within the International Terminal building. And so, the first option was taking the lounge on the backside of the terminal and turning it into a lounge in memory and dedication to Ed Lee. Option number two was putting Edwin

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 3 M. Lee Departures Hall on the wooden façade of the departures hall, dedicating the departures hall to him, as well as doing a display, letting the public know a little about his contributions to society on the wall that’s adjacent to or just underneath that sign. Option number three was taking some space in front of the terminal. We have a zone just as people are pulling into the International Terminal. Those who are arriving by car, this is their first introduction to the International Terminal, and the proposal was to create a space there in front of the terminal in honor of Ed Lee. And then option number four was to dedicate the arrivals hall. So, this is the area just outside of Customs and Border Protection. It is international travelers’ first vision of San Francisco as they’re stepping out of the arrivals hall, and the thought was to dedicate this zone to Edwin M. Lee. Also using the columns within that space to note that this is the Edwin M. Lee Lounge, if we may, and taking the seating that is just beyond that and creating some display spaces in that seating area. So, from the first meeting, there was input from several committee members and from some members of the public and what we heard during that first meeting is there was a request for a scheme that used option number 2 and option number 4, so I’ll go through that briefly in the slides to come. We have now a scheme B, which is doing an option number 2 enhanced, if we may. There is a scheme C, which was taking option number 1 and 2 and combining it into scheme C. And then from the public there was a request to do something in the recompose, just post-security on both A side and G side. So, I will be going through those options.

Scheme A – this is in the departures hall. So in scheme A this would be dedicating the departures hall to Edwin Lee and what we have is we would once again use that wooden façade and add signage up top as well as, there was a request to add a plaque down below it that gives a little bit more information on Ed Lee, so we can see that on the right side just underneath the broad sign. So the sign does the high level dedication, something visible from great distances and then underneath is a greater amount of information. And so this is showing that the plaque that’s down below, just adjacent to the ticket counters there, and the thought here is that it would have a high level statement, once again, about Ed Lee and the dedication and that there would be text that says learn more in the arrivals hall down below where we would have a broader dedication, broader storytelling opportunity on the arrivals hall. This is showing, once again, that arrivals hall down below. It is using the columns. We've also proposed to change out the seating that is behind the columns in front of the window wall, and we would add either display cases or interactive elements. Last meeting there was a suggestion that we could appeal to various ages, that there might be something for children, there might be something there for adults. Today we won't be, it's my understanding that we won’t be settling in on specific proposals. What we're looking for today is your understanding of what zone

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 4 we would like to name/dedicate/honor otherwise, we will be looking for that input from the committee today. So this proposal, scheme A, occupies both the departures hall and the arrivals lobby and tells the story of Ed Lee’s contributions.

Then we have Scheme B. Scheme B is a little bit more simplistic. Once again, gets the dedication to the wooden wall in the departures hall, and then it takes the space between the two bulkheads or walls that are just underneath that sign and what we have on the left side would be something that we call a bah relief. It is a bronze plaque, three-dimensional bronze plaque, that is consistent with other dedications that have been used around San Francisco International. You will see these in many other terminals, noting spaces that have been dedicated to other individuals at SFO for their contributions. And then on the right wall, we would have an opportunity for some storytelling on some plaques that would be associated there. In between these two plaques, we are proposing to use some special furniture, kind of calling attention and attracting the public to stop and linger there. This is an area where, once they've checked in, they typically walk through and head out to the checkpoints, so by use of color, kind of attracts their attention, that something's going on here and that there would be storytelling in this zone here before they head off to their gates.

And then there’s Scheme C. And in Scheme C, once again, we’ve got the dedication on the wooden wall, dedicating the departures hall, and then the storytelling continues in the lounge that is just behind us. So when we did our walking tour, we walked through the space. On the back wall there is an existing art piece by Korean immigrants to the United States. Our proposal is that we would use this lounge to tell, to dedicate to Ed Lee and tell his story of his contributions to San Francisco and to our culture in our society. We would change out the furniture that's in the zone. Once again, to attract attention, use of color, and attract people. There are already people who use this as a waiting space. By use of walls or furniture or objects in the space, we would propose to use that as an opportunity to recognize Ed Lee’s contributions.

And then Scheme D, this was brought up by the public, and the public had suggested that just post-security, in an area that we call recompose, we could use that as a spot to recognize Ed Lee and tell a little about him. What you see on the right side of this slide is a plan view. These are all of our security checkpoint lanes. This is on our boarding area A side of the International Terminal. It is a very congested and stressful. It is probably the most congested and stressful part of passengers’ journey and in the recompose space that's just beyond. Recompose is something that San Francisco International kind of thought of and developed, and

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 5 recompose is really a space, just beyond the checkpoint, where we provide comfortable furniture for passengers to repack their bags after having gone through the checkpoint, put their shoes back on in a more leisurely manner or wait for their travel partners who are still in the checkpoint. All check points have a zone, right at the tail end of them where all that can happen. We've done it in a more accommodating manner at SFO by creating these recompose areas, and yet this is not an area where we encourage people to linger, nor to come back to because it is still, even though it's done in an accommodating manner, it’s still a congested, busy zone of the terminal. And so, for that reason, we don't recommend that we do anything in this zone, but we would be happy to hear comments on that today.

And then during the last presentation there was a discussion of couldn’t we do something like LAX has done with their Tom Bradley terminal in recognizing that in honor of Tom Bradley, and yet the two airports are not exactly the same. We have a different layout, a different physical configuration, and we want to go through that with you today. So, on the first slide here, slide 20, what we have is the front of our International Terminal. When the International Terminal was built back in roughly the year 2000, we do have a sign that goes across the front facade of it. Everyone is very familiar with that. That was intended as the entry sign to SFO. So, this is really, while it says San Francisco International, it is not intended to be San Francisco International Terminal. It is San Francisco International Airport, so this we see as our airport front door signage. We additionally do this on the airside, as passengers are arriving at the airport by plane on the back of Terminal 2, and you can see on the map down below here. Terminal 2 is at the backside of our airport and on the backside of the Terminal 2, we have signage on the glass once again with the name of our airport. Conversely, LAX does have an entry sign, happens here just on Sepulveda Boulevard. Most passengers by car enter from Sepulveda Boulevard or One World Way and LAX has the gigantic letters and light columns, which is just a beautiful entry sign which we don't have, nor do we have the footprint for something similar or a different version of the same. LAX is a little larger than us. They have eight terminals, and if you go along the entry road as you’re approaching Tom Bradley, what you see is they have indicated Tom Bradley International Airport on the facade of the terminal, but it is at the backside of the entry road. So, from a passenger wayfinding perspective, we are concerned that it's not quite the same setup. When passengers are coming to San Francisco and when we do improvements at the airport, there are two things we have in mind, always and foremost, and that is number one is safety and two is comfort of passengers before we proceed with projects, and one of the elements that leads to comfort for passengers is having clear wayfinding, knowing when, where they're going as they enter the airport. And so, there is a certain amount of concern that if we add

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 6 additional signage to the front façade of this building, that is specific to that terminal only, that it could potentially just be information in the wrong spot for passengers. So, we are happy to consider Ed Lee commemorative areas and are looking for input from the committee members here, but there is a certain amount of concern about putting something on that façade there. And that's it. Let me know if there were any items that you thought would be followed up from the last meeting that I haven't hit or if there's anything that you want to go back through, I would be happy to speak to it.

President Mazzola said all right, committee members, any questions for Judi? John.

John Martin said scheme A, and you might pull that up, the image of Edwin M. Lee Departures Hall. As I understand, this will be the main security checkpoint in the future when the International Terminal is remodeled in 4,5,6 years, so every single international passenger would walk directly underneath this sign.

Judi Mosqueda said that’s right, and thank you for reminding me of that. I sometimes forget and all the detail of what we have to present to you, I forget some aspects and John is right. We have done studies and have included in an environmental review, a plan to do a centralized checkpoint at the International Terminal. It would happen just under the sign. We would push out the back side of the terminal and do one consolidated checkpoint. It's beneficial from an operational standpoint for us and the TSA who operates the checkpoints, but what it really means is that all passengers will be funneling underneath the sign here.

Peter Stern said, in terms of any of the other schemes, would the renovation or remodel or transition, will that affect any of the other schemes that you’re proposing as well?

Judi Mosqueda said yes, in option, I believe, is C, we have this zone here, the lounge just passed the wooden wall. In the future project, this lounge would be removed. It would go away. What we propose here is that when that renovation happens, there will be a zone just adjacent to the backside of the checkpoint, where we would relocate the content to that location once it’s determined what that content is. So, we would still honor the space pending Commission and committee members’ approval, but this zone there does get removed, demolished and turned into an expanded checkpoint and concessions lobby, kind of like a small version of what you see at Tom Bradley down at LAX these days.

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 7 Eleanor Johns stated just to further qualify, does that artwork, the tiled artwork on the back wall, that’s going to be removed also?

Judi Mosqueda said that will need to be removed and potentially relocated pending decisions.

Eleanor Johns further asked whether it can be removed. I don’t know how it’s installed.

Judi Mosqueda said they’re individual small tiles… Blake Summers is here, head of Museums and our liaison with the Arts Commission, as you know, and we all feel that it can be relocated physically. It just needs decision making on what they’d like to do with it.

Eleanor Johns said I think that John Martin’s point is well made, and I think all of us need to know on any of these proposals whether future development and changes will affect anything. I think that’s very important.

Judi Mosqueda said what I can state right now is this is the one location that I see that there's not eminent, but something in the future that affects it. What I was going to say is I’ve been at the San Francisco International for 10 years now, and the one thing that was so surprising to me, having come to the airport, is how much change happens regularly at airports, so I wouldn’t promise that any of these zones never change in the future. What I’ve seen with our projects and project implementation is there’s constant modifications to deal with passenger operations, security, safety, airline needs, etc.

John Martin said just to follow up, I really want to see Mayor Lee honored in the appropriate and lasting way. And my experience at the airport for 21 years as director, absolutely nothing stayed the same. Every square foot of the terminal changed over time due to security needs or passenger needs or airline needs. And the chances of this area being remaining for this display, a pretty low probability. It would probably have to be relocated to another spot over time, sometime in the future. A lot more lasting legacy might be to have a statue, a bust that last for a long, long time and having this elegant sign, as people go through security, every passenger sees it. They go see it through security. They see the bust of Mayor Lee. They see the brass plaque that tells the story. That will always remain as long as the terminal is standing. This exhibit is not so clear. I've seen exhibits at other airports. I think in Chicago O’Hare, there's an exhibit for the person named O’Hare. I don’t know his first name, but it really looks sad over time because it ages and this exhibit

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 8 will also age. It will need to be replaced or it will look out of date. So, to me, the most important thing is to really have a lasting legacy and these brass plaques provide that. A statue would probably have to raise money from the community, and I would be happy to write a check for that. To have a lasting legacy with a bust or statue, like the statues one sees at the nation’s capital or the busts of former mayors downstairs here on the second floor. They will remain, and they will continue to look classy and honor the legacy of Mayor Lee.

President Mazzola said all right, any other comments on this?

Melinda Franklin said I have a question, just tying into what John said on scheme B where we have the bronze plaque on the left-hand side, page 13. So is that, you had alluded to other, I don't know, what with Harvey Milk, is that the kind of dedication we have for him? Has that been done already?

Judi Mosqueda said it has been done. And John, you might remind me. So, let me address Harvey Milk, first of all. He will have a plaque. It's my understanding that it will not be bronze. They've chosen a different material for that, just to set in context with Terminal 1. But Terminal 2 has a bronze plaque dedicating the concourse to Bill Coblentz. Terminal 3, I don’t remember bronze plaques. International Terminal has…

John Martin said Tom Lantos in Terminal 3.

Judi Mosqueda said it’s who?

John Martin said Congressman Lantos in Terminal 3.

Judi Mosqueda said where is that?

John Martin said The hub of Boarding Area F by the United Club entrance.

Judi Mosqueda said there’s also a bronze plaque in the International Terminal over by the BART entrance and the Henry Berman Reflection Room. And I believe that is of Berman.

Linda Crayton said is the plaque for Bill Coblentz small, because you could probably just miss it.

Judi Mosqueda said I believe that they are roughly three and a half feet by four to five feet, three by four roughly. What you're seeing in this image here is a little

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 9 larger than that. What we've done in this image is really tried to work with the existing architecture to fit with metal panels that are on the wall, just so that it doesn't look like something that’s tact on later.

Linda Crayton said I guess I can’t see.

Judi Mosqueda said and I’m sorry that I don’t have an up close image of this. However, what we've inserted here is made up. As you recall, we're so early in the process. What we're looking for today is an idea of how the committee would like to recognize Ed Lee and where the committee would like to recognize Ed Lee. All of what you're seeing here is put together, not very quickly, but you know, the content isn't real. We've made it up in our offices and what we would be looking to do. So, next on the agenda is Blake Summers talking about how content would be developed, and he'll go through that with you. What we've done is try to represent where and how you could recognize him, but there’s a whole bunch of additional work that needs to be done to actually put plaques together and stories together, things like that.

President Mazzola said all right, Candace.

Candace Sue said I wonder if you have done any review of customer behavior as they enter into these areas for these different scenarios. So, you know, their feelings, either through customer surveys or observation, what the customer is actually doing, because I think what is a really important point, the airport is a transportation center, a hub, and so therefore one of the most important things, as you said, is wayfinding. And then so your customers’ feeling as they entered the space, I think, makes a difference into how much they’re going to be able to pay attention to what’s going on around them. And I think that the permanence, that John mentioned, is really important. We want people to be able to know who Mayor Lee was, not just those who knew him today, but also those far into the future will be able to realize who he was and his impact on the city. And so, I tie these two things together because, wherever this honors exists, we want people to be able to see it and be able to have it resonate with them. So, if there is any data with regard to customer behavior as they move around the airport, I think it will be very helpful for this committee to see.

Judi Mosqueda said ok, and I can go back to the office. Of course, we spend a lot of time observing, studying, talking with passengers on what their stress points are, where they're happy, where they're not happy, where they’re uncomfortable. We've done a lot of work on that in the past, I don’t know, about five, eight years. I can

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 10 pull some of that information together. What's tricky about this is it's not a new terminal. It’s an existing terminal and we’re wanting to layer on an honor to Ed Lee and so each one of these proposals have pros and cons in terms of its visibility, what passengers are actually doing in that location. So in each one of these, you've seen that we've tried to create something that would try to catch passengers’ attention and give them a little bit of an ability to linger if they want, such as through the furniture because some of these spaces are movement spaces and not lingering spaces.

President Mazzola said anybody else want to chime in here? Ok, thanks for your report.

Judi Mosqueda said you’re welcome.

OVERVIEW OF CURATION AND CONTENT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Blake Summers, Airport Museum Director and Chief Curator, Presentation and Discussion

Blake Summers said I'm here to talk about the development, curation and content for exhibitions. SFO Museum is up for accreditation in 2019, so it’s kind of an interesting exercise to sit in and think about what we have been doing, sort of, intuitively for the last 30, 40 years in putting exhibitions together for the airport. So, the conclusion is that we work with the story, which is ideas and the interpretation of ideas, the location which includes the physical space, as well as the audience. Candace, you talked about different locations and observing. We’ve been observing different locations throughout the airport for years, and the way we select and curate for those locations varies depending on the audience. And then finally content, which is objects. So, at SFO, our audience is the 58 million passengers traveling in and out of the terminals. This slide is from Terminal 3 and while the hidden meanings in Chinese ceramics was a show from the Asian Art Museum and curated by Therese Bartholomew, it was an SFO exhibit, and so we retain the controls and all sort of aspects of putting the exhibition together. This particular exhibit was a lot of fun, photographing and working with the huge graphics. We sort of mix up our selection throughout the terminals. This was in Terminal 2. This was our huli music that talks about the variety of objects that gets selected for a simple concept, like records. Here’s another location. This was in Terminal 3, as well. This is a seating area, but clearly there is no room for cases and three-dimensional objects. It’s a simple photography exhibition. This slide demonstrates, this is all roads lead to Rome. It talks about the variety of layering, of combining content and

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 11 interpretation of the labels of various pieces. This is the history of the flag. Again, it talks about the didactic material. We took a collection, a single collection and sort of broke it into categories and then laid on the timeline of the development of the flag as a unifying factor of the show. So even when objects are simple, the interpretation can be layered and developed so that other didactic material, such as photography, to contextualize the object. And then this is Moto Police Mo, which is an exhibit of Italian motorcycles, but it talks to the idea of content influencing location. And then this is a recology show in T3 again. This talks about the idea of location influencing content because we had a base and we needed to program it. I guess what I’m trying to get across is these three components work together and are all interrelated. So, committee members, when you select a location you’re influencing the content. When you select content, you’re influencing location. And all this is dictated by how the story is, what story you can tell. They’re not independent. They’re all interrelated. And that concludes… if you have any questions.

President Mazzola said thank you. Any questions?

Linda Crayton said so basically, you’re saying that whatever location that you choose depicts the content that actually can be in that location.

Blake Summers said exactly.

Linda Crayton said Civil rights or whatever, with the flag, etc. in terms of what you want to be able to do, but it also has to be flexible, to be movable based upon airport needs. Is that part of what you were saying?

Blake Summers said yes.

John Martin said are there any permanent exhibits of this type at the airport, of objects and storytelling?

Blake Summers said no we don’t currently have…

John Martin said so this would be the first one, maybe the Harvey Milk coming. How do you keep something like that fresh? I mean, if passengers saw these motorcycles year after year, they’d want something new, a museum. How do you keep the exhibit for Mayor Lee fresh?

Blake Summers said that’s a good question. I don’t know if there’s a good answer

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 12 for that. To do it, you would want to have either growing or changing content to allow it to remain fresh, live.

John Martin said again, this is the reason that I promote the idea of a more lasting permanent exhibit, perhaps in a form of a bust or statue, that would honor him in a long, lasting way. I’d like to ask if it’s possible, Judi, to do a rendering of what that might look like, included, and this might not be possible, to do a rendering of what the departures hall may look like in the future with that center area as the security screening checkpoint and to be able to see what the passenger experience might be like, passengers waiting in line, seeing the sign, going through security, seeing the statue, seeing something of the story of Mayor Lee’s life, so we get a better sense of that.

Judi Mosqueda said for clarification, the sculpture or the statue would be post- security.

John Martin said that was my idea, post-security, so that people see the name up front and they see the images as they walk through security, but it’s just an idea.

Melinda Franklin stated on some of the renderings we saw, there was an exposure to the public, like the wrap arounds where, I’m just curious about wear and tear because the presentation you just gave there were enclosed cases. It didn’t seem like passengers and customers could touch things. I’m concerned about, and it probably feeds into John’s point as well, just is our preference as a museum to have things more enclosed than touch and feel. You know having the ability for…

Blake Summers said it depends on the objects, so what is the content that you want to represent. What content do we have to represent is really the question.

Melinda Franklin said yes, so I’m looking at the pictures that you showed. It just seemed like they were, you know, on the wall or on the columns.

Blake Summers said there’s no problem with the idea of a bronze bust or a bah relief. That works, but if you want to show artifacts or objects, if there are any, those would have to be within cases and there are considerations for light levels and all sorts of things like that depending on what they are. Original photography and paper works have different requirements than something that’s bronze.

Eleanor Johns said so just to follow along with what you were saying and what John said and what I think you’re saying, if we’re doing storytelling there are number of

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 13 ways to do it and if you look at scheme A with these columns, with the pictures with the yellow background. That’s kind of something you would expect in a temporary exhibit, something that would stay maybe for 6 months or a year and you want to attract passengers’ attention when you can because all of us travel and you’re really only interested in entering that point and getting to your plane or leaving and getting home. I think John’s point about having something appropriate and lasting way, that isn’t just a passing fancy for current history right now, is give a thought to this bust or a bronze plaque or a combination of the two and then talk about perhaps where they would be located because you put in a bronze plaque the most important characteristics of a person you’re trying to honor, and that lasts in time and any alteration that might be made in the airport, you could move that bust or you could move that plaque, that’s a lasting thing. I mean we have moved busts around here in City Hall of previous mayors and the locations have changed from time to time depending upon the traffic in City Hall. So, I think John’s point is well made and some the others. So, I think that we should look at that in the context.

President Mazzola said ok, thank you, Blake.

DISCUSSION Discussion concerning potential recommendations. Possible action concerning future meetings.

President Mazzola said so we want to have some discussion and questions and stuff. So, you want to continue with discussion. Anybody want to go? Anni, please.

Anni Chung said Chairman Mazzola and members of the committee, first I want to acknowledge the presence of Mrs. Anita Lee, who joined us for our meeting and many members and co-chairs of the renaming of the International Terminal after Mayor Ed Lee are here. So, I want to thank all of them for attending this meeting. So, thank you Judi for presenting, particularly scheme A, which did take into consideration both the departure and the arrival hall, but I reread the nomination form that we submitted several months ago and with the anniversary last Wednesday of Mayor Ed Lee, we just remembered and we were reminded again of the long list of accomplishments of Mayor Ed Lee and I’m just going to, you know, to make a suggestion to scheme A, whether we could call it the Edwin M. Lee International Terminal instead of the departure hall and also the arrival hall and taking into consideration of Mr. Martin’s concern about the exterior signage, you know, like confusing people going about looking for their right destination. I think that our community and our committee will be much more closer to our original

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 14 intent if the scheme A could rename the departure hall and the arrival hall as the Edwin M. Lee International Terminal, and that would not cause a lot of confusion or interruption, but it would meet the really the community who loved Mayor Lee and I’m sure all of San Francisco join me in saying that we all love Mayor Lee and he sacrificed for all of us when he died in office, so the tribute to Mayor Lee, I think, has to be a very, very significant one and our community is willing to do everything we can to help with that effort, so I would just like to ask if the committee will accept the twist of Judi’s scheme A, kind of combining option 2 and 4, but actually naming it the Edwin M. Lee International Terminal.

President Mazzola said all right, thank you, thank you for your thoughts. You’re standing fast with what you started and we appreciate that very much.

Linda Crayton said I just want to make sure, Anni, so what you’re saying is in the departures hall. Edwin M. Lee International Terminal. Isn’t this already within the International Terminal?

Anni Chung said yes, this is the wooden hall inside.

President Mazzola said right now, we’re just proposing the departure hall.

Linda Crayton said that’s what I’m saying. Ok, I just want to make sure that I understood what you were proposing.

Anni Chung said really just to put the international terminal name under Mayor Edwin M. Lee inside.

President Mazzola said ok, anybody else want to comment on other things?

Peter Stern said scheme A is also my personal preference and/or B. I think C and D are too tucked away and are not prominent and appropriate to honor Mayor Lee. I’d go to the comments of scheme A to be my priority, but I also want to comment on John’s comments around a bust or statue as well. I think it’s important that we vet that process and take a look at what that looks like just so we can honor Mayor Lee in perpetuity within the airport in light of a lot of the construction changes and modifications that is going to take place. What I wouldn’t want to see is that we do something to honor him and then all of a sudden that changes over time, so I would like to explore that as well.

President Mazzola said all right, anybody else? Ok, I also want to comment on

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 15 John’s proposal or thought about looking at a bust or statue. I like the idea of a statue. I’d like to be able to stand next to it and take a picture with an icon like Ed Lee, and I think many passengers would like to have a picture like that. It’s a good idea, and I’ve never thought of it until I heard John speak about it. And I guess, Anni, I think your proposal has a lot of merit, but once again I just want to mention that it is truly against our policy. Our policy says that we don’t change the name of the International Terminal, and if you call it Ed Lee International Terminal on the sign, that’s what it’ll turn out to be in. But I understand what you’re trying to do and I appreciate it, and we’ll continue to talk about it. Ok. All right. Anything else? And then we have public comment after that.

Melinda Franklin asked if we changed that verbiage to International Terminal, will that affect the wayfinding? I don’t know who could answer that, the wayfinding issue.

Judi Mosqueda said it’s my opinion that I don’t believe, if it’s done inside the terminal, I don’t think it is as troubling as it is on the front façade of the building. I don’t think it will be a problem. Ivar, I don’t know if you have a different opinion than that.

Ivar Satero said no, I agree with that Judi. There’s probably, maybe, one or two other portals that may also receive that, but the wayfinding wouldn’t get impacted.

President Mazzola said if there’s no more discussion, we will go to public comment. Is that all right? Ok, so we’re going to do public comment. I think you have more than I have. So, we have quite a few here and so, we want to limit this to 1 minute each. I know one minute doesn’t sound like much, but it’s ok. And I think we’re all going to be trying to make the same point here, so we’ll start out with one minute each and we have Claudine Cheng.

PUBLIC COMMENT Individuals may address the Committee on any topic within the Committee’s jurisdiction. Please fill out a “Request to Speak” form located on the table next to the speaker’s microphone and submit it to the Airport Commission Secretary.

Good morning, Commissioner and committee members. It’s Claudine Cheng. Just to make time and make sure everybody gets to speak out and be quick, I really appreciate hearing committee member Anni Chung’s suggestion about scheme A. I

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 16 think that is a very good compromise. I totally agree that to put any signage outside may cause confusion and we don’t want that. And I think the option that Anni suggested is a good one, and I hope the committee will seriously consider that with the signage Edwin M. Lee International Terminal inside, without the differentiation of departure or arrival hall, but I think committee member Chung’s recommendation is a good one. And I would like to support that. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you for your comments. So, I’m going to call the next speaker and the speaker after that, so you can be ready. So, the next speaker is going to be Doug Chan and then Richard Harris after that.

Hi, my name is Doug Chan. I’m the Vice President of the Chinese Historical Society of America. Thank you very much for this opportunity to address you Commissioner and committee members. I first knew Ed Lee 40 years ago as an activist who dedicated his legal career to housing and civil rights with the Asian Law Caucus. As the city Commissioner, I witnessed firsthand his exemplary services to the city, as its director of human rights and its contract compliance function, city purchaser, CIO, and as Mayor, really found expression in the economic opportunities represented by the public works and the thousands of jobs created by the city’s minority in business programs at the international airport. It would be fitting to honor a champion for the rights and aspiration of forgotten San Franciscans in unforgettable ways and I urge you to support the Chung proposal for option A to effectively name the entire International Terminal for Ed as a fitting commemoration of his lifetime of public service. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you.

Good morning, Commissioners. I’m Richard Harris. I live in the Height/Ashbury. I was in law school with Ed. Among all the things that you will hear today, Ed, his personal humility and quality that we all knew of him, he was the ideal Confucian of civil servant. He was a servant and we are told not only by Confucius but by Jesus Christ, the greatest is the servant of all, and Ed personify that and it will be fitting that this city of Saint Francis memorialize that wonderful person that we had in Ed Lee. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you. All right, the next two speakers are going to be first Wing Ho Leung and Thomas Wong.

(Wing Ho Leung speaking in Cantonese and interpreted into English) Ed Lee is the first Chinese mayor in SF. Had many great works and accomplishments

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 17 in his years serving as SF Mayor. On the 25th anniversary of CTA, we gave Mayor Ed Lee a scroll written grassroot hero. When he received it, he said to all CTA members that they are the real grassroot hero. All 1,800 CTA members hope to rename the SF International Terminal to Edwin M. Lee International Terminal. Thank you.

President Mazzola said all right, thank you for your comments. Thomas Wong.

Dear committee members, my name is Thomas Wong. I live in the Sunset and volunteer for Self Help for the Elderly at their south sunset center for many years. I’m here this morning with 30 of our seniors from Self Help for the Elderly to speak in support of renaming the International Terminal at SFO after Mayor Edwin M. Lee. It will mean so much to all of us who benefitted from the tremendous support given to seniors in San Francisco by Mayor Lee. When he was in office, he was hardworking, made sure that adequate resources to meet the seniors were met. He died on December 12, 2017, after a long day at work. Mayor Lee died for all of us. That was his ultimate sacrifice. Please support the renaming of the terminal after Mayor Lee. Thank you very much.

President Mazzola said all right, thank you for your comments. Thank you for standing. We now have Andrew Sun and Marily Mondejar.

Thank you very much. Andrew Sun, I’m a resident of San Francisco. Now that we all agree that we’re going to do something to honor the legacy of Mayor Lee, I think it’s now a question of what we’re going to do. And I think I want to remind us that naming something, honoring something is really for those of us that are living. Those of us who’ve experienced his love, friendship and his leadership all of these years. And what we’re trying to do is to sort of designate something so that future generations will understand the remarkable achievement of this man and his dedication to the city. Quite frankly, I think Commissioner Chung’s notion is remarkable and ought to be done. It signifies that the terminal ought to be named after Ed. Frankly, if he were here, he'd probably want just to have a coffee stand named after him, but we, the living, who’ve experienced his leadership, who’ve experienced his love, who’ve experienced his friendship understand that we need to do something significant, and I urge you to do the most significant thing that you possibly can do. That's the way that we, the living, can honor him for future generations. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you.

Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Marily Mondejar. I’m the CEO of the

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 18 Filipino Women's Network. I’m also the chair and commissioner of the OCII Commission, the successor agency of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. I am here not just to represent myself, but also all the Filipinos that the late Mayor Ed Lee touched and helped, the Filipino American communities, the largest community in northern California. There are 36,000 Filipinos in San Francisco. I'm here to ask for your support in naming the San Francisco International Terminal the Edwin M. Lee International Terminal. Ed Lee loved San Francisco, he cared deeply and about people and was humble and dedicated. I understand that you’re also considering naming the terminal after the Senator Dianne Feinstein and she certainly deserves the honor, but I would suggest them that you name the San Francisco airport after Mayor Edwin Lee. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you. The next speakers are going to be Rose Chung and Thomas Li.

Rose Chung. I had the pleasure of working with Mayor Lee. I know firsthand his dedication to San Francisco and the strong impact he has made. I strongly support scheme A as proposed by Anni Chung and to honor his love for our city, to carry his legacy. I also think a statue of our beloved mayor will also be a befitting way to continue his inspiration. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Thomas Li. I am proud to be born and raised in San Francisco, product of SFUSD, public education and Mayor Lee meant a lot to me. He is someone that I looked up to as a public servant, someone who was hard working and selfless for the city, and I think it's befitting that we move forward with scheme A, as it is a great tribute for fellow San Franciscans to always remember the great values Ed has a lasting impact in the city and leaves behind. And you know, it's also very timely a proposal because as gates A and G come together at SFO moving forward, this will be a perfect time to add the naming above the united TSA entry point. Thank you so much for this supporting Scheme A with the addition that Anni proposed.

President Mazzola said thank you for your comments. Hagan Choi and Eddie Ahn.

Hello, my name is Hagan Choi. I'm a resident of San Francisco for the past 45 years. As memory of our Mayor Lee, I support scheme A with the addition Mayor Lee’s International Terminal. This is the best way. And also promotes the solid, permanent way to memory Mayor Lee, and also it will increase many minorities of the future generations, to encourage, motivate them to be a good citizen of San Francisco. Thank you.

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 19

Good morning, Eddie Ahn, Executive Director of Brightline defense, a public policy nonprofit as well as a commissioner on the environment, appointed just two months before Mayor Lee’s passing. Last time when I spoke before this committee, I talked a little bit about Mayor Lee’s ability to work with diverse communities and why it was important to the international terminal in particular. I think subject matter is also important. For instance, Brightline just concluded a project with SFMTA that committee members soon might be aware of about ensuring that we can switch the state to electric buses and creating good paying jobs out of it and that's the kind of practical project with high level environmental consequences that Mayor Lee would have really appreciated. And so, we very much support committee member Chung's proposal to modify scheme A and make sure that it’s named Edwin M. Lee International Terminal. The community would expect nothing less. Thank you.

President Mazzola said all right. Thank you. Jane Chin.

Good Morning, I’m Jane Chin. I’m the Executive Director of the Chinese Historical Society of America, and we are the oldest organization that preserved the history of Chinese in America. We preserve their legacies. Ed Lee fits into that category. He was a humble man, a hardworking, dedicated public servant, and we all know that he left way too soon and it will be fitting to take up Anni Chung’s recommendation and to name the terminal after Edwin M. Lee. We hope that you would do that to give him the honor and reverence that he deserves. Thank you very much.

President Mazzola said thank you. Our last 2 speakers are Jon Osaki and Sarah Wan.

Good morning, Commission, Commissioners. My name is Jon Osaki. I'm Executive Director of the Japanese Community Youth Council and Co-chair of the Asian Pacific Islander Council. I'm here to support commissioner Chung’s proposal, to name the terminal after the late Edwin Lee and I just want to say that, and I want to remind this Commission that many of you may recall that, Ed Lee never actually planned to be mayor of San Francisco. And he only did so after the urging of the citizens of this community. He agreed to serve because he knew that this community and the citizens of San Francisco felt that his leadership was important, and he gave the ultimate sacrifice in doing so. And I believe that that type of sacrifice deserves the highest recognition that the city can provide. So, I want to whole heartedly support commissioner Chung’s recommendation, and I want to urge this Commission to support that. Thank you.

Minutes, December 18, 2018, Page 20 President Mazzola said thank you. Sharon.

Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Sarah Wan, and I’m the Executive Director for CYC, Community Youth Center of San Francisco. I'm also co-chair of Asian Pacific Islander Council. I'm here to urge you to support Anni Chung’s proposal to name the International Terminal to be Edwin M. Lee International Terminal as well as the scheme A. I don’t think there's any other lasting legacy that we can keep on other than renaming the terminal after Mayor Ed Lee. And I really want to make sure that we can pass on to many generations that come in to San Francisco, whether they were born and raised in San Francisco or they’re immigrants trying to achieve the American dream that Mayor Lee has shown us how prominent that could be. Thank you.

President Mazzola said thank you for your comments. All right, public comments are over. So, we’ll close public comment and we’re back to the committee. After hearing public comments, are there anymore comments? Ok, hearing none, then we will adjourn today. We heard a lot. And Judi is going to come up with another couple of plans or another plan, and then we’ll meet after the 1st of the year and keep this process going and see what we can do.

Eleanor Johns stated I do have one question and I don’t know, Anni, if you can answer it for me. I really appreciate all of the comments that were brought here today and some of the comments from this group. I have heard and I’ve got to say, and it’s probably a rumor, I have heard that there is a movement also to name Harding Park after Mayor Lee, and I would just like to know publicly whether there’s any value or truth in that statement.

Anni Chung said no, sorry, personally, I’m not aware of it.

Eleanor Johns said I just think that some of the speakers talked about having a lasting and really meaningful naming to honor Mayor Lee, and I just wanted to be certain about that, and I think we have time to investigate that before any final decisions.

President Mazzola said I want to again thank the committee for your time and have a good holiday. Everybody in the audience have a good holiday and the very best to you and your families. Happy New year.
