1 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 INTRODUCTION
The Port of Oakland is an independent agency of the City of Oakland with jurisdiction over the Port Area. It is responsible for the operation of city-owned harbor and airport facilities and it has exclusive control of all Port revenues and of proceeds of all bond sales for harbor and airport improve- ments. The Board of Port Commissioners is empowered to issue revenue bonds for harbor and airport improvements under Oakland City Charter provisions approved by the voters. The Port serves primarily the San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Area, one of the west coast's chief industrial areas and the principal distribution center for northern California and much of the western United States. The population of the three-county core area is estimated at 2,320,000; for the Bay Area as a whole it is 4,570,000. After a decade of stability, the Port, in the last five years, has tripled its gross revenues, quintupled its net income, and substantially enlarged and improved its facilities and the bases of its operation. It has become the second largest containership port in the world, its airport is now of regional importance, and a major part of its industrial park has been developed. Long-term agreements with principal companies in transportation and other industries provide a substantial base to the Port's revenues. The $6,000,000 Series H Bonds are being issued for the completion of a new marine terminal in response to demand for additional containership facilities in the San Francisco Bay area. The Port is continuing also with its existing program for the expansion of the Oakland International Airport and for the improvement of its other marine terminals and industrial and commercial properties. The 1957 Revenue Bonds are secured by an exclusive pledge of all gross revenues from facilities constructed from bond proceeds and of net revenues from substantially all other facilities. Upon iscila nee of the Series H Bonds, there will be outstanding $40,170,000 of the Port's 1957 Revenue Bonds. Net revenues available for bond service for the fiscal year 1968/69 amounted to $5,407,570, covering the 1968/69 bond service 2.8 times. Net revenues for 1969/70 are estimated at $7,020,000; with the addition of new revenues expected from current projects, these net revenues would cover the proposed maximum annual revenue bond service requirement 2.5 times.

3 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Redemption Provisions Bonds maturing on or before August 1, 1980 are not redeemable prior to their stated maturity dates. Bonds maturing on or after August 1, 1981 are subject to call and redemption at the option of the Board on August 1, 1980, or on any interest payment date thereafter as a whole or in part, in inverse order of maturity and by lot within a maturity, upon payment of the principal amount, accrued interest to the date of redemption, and a premium of 1/4 of 1% of such principal amount for each year and for any remaining fraction of a year between the date of redemption and the date of maturity of the bonds. Notice of redemption is to be published in Oakland and, in a financial newspaper of general circulation, in New York City, with the first publication not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date of redemption. Copies of the notice of redemption are to be mailed to the Fiscal Agent, to the original purchasers of the bonds, and to the holders of any registered bonds designated for redemption. The Seventh Supplemental Resolution provides for mandatory redemption of minimum principal amounts of Series H Bonds in each of the years 1984 to 1994, inclusive. A Series H Sinking Fund Account is established and amounts are to be paid to the Fiscal Agent from Port revenues, sufficient to call and redeem at least the following principal amounts of bonds annually.
MINIMUM SINKING FUND REDEMPTIONS Year Annual Amount Ending of Bonds August 1 to be Redeemed 1984 to 1989 $15,000 1990 to 1994 10,000® 0 Leaving a maximum of $10,000 to mature in 1995. Money in the Series H Sinking Fund Account may be used, in lieu of calling bonds, for the purchase at public or private sale of. Series H Bonds, provided that any premium paid does not exceed the call premium applicable to the bonds so purchased at the next date at which the bonds are redeemable. Tax Exemption In the opinion of bond counsel, under existing statutes, regulations and court decisions, interest on the bonds is exempt from all present Federal income taxes (except as noted below) and from State of California personal income taxes; and the bonds are exempt from all California taxes except inheri- tance, gift, and franchise taxes. Interest on any of the bonds held by a substantial user of the bond project (or by a "related person") may be taxable under Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Legal Opinion The legal opinion of Messrs. Orrick, Herrington, Rowley & Sutcliffe, of San Francisco, California, approving the validity of the bonds, will be supplied free of charge to the original purchasers of the bonds. A copy of the legal opinion, certified by the official in whose office",the original is filed, will be printed on each bond without charge to the successful bidder. Legality for Investment These bonds are believed to be legal investments in California for all trust funds and for the funds of all insurance companies, commercial and savings banks, trust companies, the State school funds, and any public or private funds which may be invested in county, municipal, or school district bonds, and may be deposited as security for the performance of any act whenever the bonds of any county, municipality, or school district may be so deposited, and may also be used as security for the deposit of public moneys in banks in the State.

4 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Requests for a certificate of suitability for investment by savings banks were filed by the Board with the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California for bonds of Series A to G and were approved. A similar request will be filed for Series H. Purpose of the Issue The proceeds of the sale of Series H Bonds are to be used for the acquisition, construction, and completion of revenue-producing facilities, as defined and discussed below; for reimbursement to the Board of funds previously advanced; for payment of incidental expenses; and for deposit in the Bond Reserve Account created pursuant to the Resolution. Fiscal Agent The Oakland Main Office of Bank of America N.T. & S.A. has been appointed Fiscal Agent for the Port of Oakland 1957 Revenue Bonds and has served in this capacity since delivery of the Series A Bonds in 1957. The Fiscal Agent will authenticate the Series H Bonds prior to delivery. The Fiscal Agent receives monthly payments out of Port revenues and pays interest and principal on all revenue bonds when due. The Fiscal Agent has custody of the Reserve Account and performs other duties as specified in the Resolution. Security All series of the 1957 Revenue Bonds are equally secured by an exclusive pledge of all revenues (as defined below), subject to the right of the Board to use surplus revenues for other purposes. The bonds are not secured by the taxing power of the City of Oakland. All revenues pledged to the bonds are deposited with the City Treasurer in the Port Revenue Fund, from which monthly transfers are made to the bond service accounts maintained by the Fiscal Agent. A separate Reserve Account is maintained sufficient for payment of the maximum combined annual bond service of all series of the 1957 Revenue Bonds. The Board has covenanted that it will maintain rates and charges sufficient to produce annual net revenues of at least one and one-half times the total revenue bond service requirements for the ensuing year. The following subsections discuss the chief provisions established to secure payment of the bond principal and interest. Pledged Revenues Revenues pledged to the bonds are defined in Section 618(4) of the Oakland City Charter ap- proved in 1968 (incorporating the provisions of 223(4) of the prior charter) and comprise: 1. Gross revenues of the Project (all facilities acquired, constructed, or completed with revenue bonds). 2. Gross revenues of any additions to or improvements of the Project, whether or not financed with bond funds. (All of the Oakland International Airport has been included in the Project by Resolution No. 13192 of the Board.) 3. Net revenues of all Existing Facilities, with net revenues determined by deducting costs of operation and maintenance from gross revenues but without allowance for depreciation or obsoles- cence. Existing Facilities are defined as all facilities of the Port on January 21, 1957, and all later extensions or improvements to these facilities. By resolutions of the Board,, all facilities so far con- structed, with the exceptions discussed below, are deemed to be either Project or Existing Facilities.
13—portable-13 Proof of Thursday, February 12, 1970—SORG/S.F.-982-9663
5 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 The Port is empowered to finance the construction of new facilities by incurring indebtedness other than its 1957 Revenue Bonds. Such indebtedness may be secured by the pledge of revenues from the facilities built, or by a lien upon revenues of the Port Revenue Fund junior to that of the 1957 Revenue Bonds. In 1965 the Port sold $800,000 of 1965 Certificates to provide funds for construction of a golf course on Port property, which has been leased to the City of Oakland. Thirty acres in the Port's industrial park were developed from proceeds of a $1,000,000 grant from the Economic Development Admin- istration and of $700,000 in junior revenue bonds. This property and the golf course are the only completed facilities of the Port the income from which is not pledged to the 1957 Revenue Bonds. Reserve Account The Resolution provides for creation and maintenance of a Reserve Account as additional security for all series of the revenue bonds. This account is to be held held by the Fiscal Agent to be drawn upon to pay interest and principal on the bonds in the event that no other funds are available for these purposes. The Reserve Account must contain at all times a balance equal to at least the maximum annual bond service requirement (interest and principal or minimum sinking fund payments) for all outstanding revenue bonds. Deposits were made in the Reserve Account from proceeds of the sale of the previous issues; an additional deposit is to be made from proceeds of Series H Bonds so that the balance will be equal to at least the maximum combined annual bond service requirements for all series of the revenue bonds. Money in the Reserve Account may be invested in United States government securities, and the income is pledged to the security of the bonds.
Disposition of Proceeds Money received from the sale of Series H Bonds will be applied as follows: 1. Interest Account. Accrued interest paid by the purchasers thr• spriec H Bonds is to be paid to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Interest Account. 2. Reserve Account. The amount required to make the Reserve Account balance equal to the maximum bond service required for all revenue bonds payable in any future year is to be paid to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Reserve Account. 3. Construction Account. The balance of the proceeds remaining after payments to the Interest and Reserve Accounts is to be deposited in the "Port of Oakland 1970 Project Construction Account." Funds in this account will be used for the acquisition, construction, and completion of improvements to the Project. Any balance remaining in the 1970 Project Construction Account on August 2, 1975 is to be deemed to be revenues and deposited in the Port Revenue Fund and used as provided for in the Resolution.
Maintenance of Fees and Charges Section 5.01 of the Resolution provides that the Board covenants and agrees that, as long as any of the revenue bonds are outstanding, it will establish and maintain rates and charges for its facilities and services sufficient to produce annual net revenues equal to at least one and one-half times the bond service requirement for the ensuing year. Bond service includes interest, maturing principal, and minimum sinking fund payments, if any. The Board may adjust rates and charges and establish rules for the use of its facilities, but the Board covenants that any action taken to reduce rates or to permit free use of any facilities will not limit or

6 PORT 1_F OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 diminish the basic obligation of the Board to maintain a coverage of one and one-half times bond service requirements. Revenue bonds are secured by gross revenues from Project facilities (those constructed entirely Or - in part with revenue bond funds) and by net revenues from Existing Facilities. The covenants requiring maintenance of coverage equal to at least one and one-half times bond service are based, however, on net revenues from both the Project and Existing Facilities.
Application of Revenues Under terms of the Oakland City Charter, all income and revenues of Port operations pledged to the revenue bonds are deposited in the City Treasury in the Port Revenue Fund and paid out on order of the Board. The Resolution established accounts and a flow of funds which are applicable to all series of the 1957 Revenue Bonds. Interest and principal for all series are payable from the same accounts, and the Reserve Account secures all series of bonds. The Resolution provides that on or before the tenth business day of each month payments are to be made from the Port Revenue Fund to the Fiscal Agent in the following amounts and in the following priority (the effect of which is to set aside the necessary funds more than one month before interest payments are due, and more than two months before principal payments and sinking fund redemptions are due): 1. Interest Account. One-fifth of the amount of semiannual interest becoming due and payable on all outstanding revenue bonds in the next six months until the full amount of semiannual interest to become due has been paid into this account. 2. Principal and Sinking Fund Account. One-tenth of the principal amount of revenue bonds of all series due and payable in the next twelve months, plus one-tenth of the amount required to be deposited as Annual Sinking Fund Account Payments in the next twelve months, until the amount in this account is sufficient to pay these amounts in full. Sinking Fund Account Payments are- required for Series A, B, C, D, E, and H. Maturity schedules have been established so that serial maturities and required sinking fund deposits do not occur in the same year for any one series. 3. Reserve Account. Any amount necessary to restore the Reserve Account to the balance required by the Resolution. Remaining Revenues are designated by the Resolution as "Surplus Revenues in the Port Revenue Fund." After the payments to the Fiscal Agent for interest, principal, sinking fund, and reserve of the 1957 Revenue Bonds have been made, these Surplus Revenues are to be applied as required to payment of the interest and principal of the bonds secured by Surplus Revenues. The balance then remaining may be spent for any of the purposes permitted by the City Charter. Without limiting the generality of these purposes, the Resolution provides also that Surplus Revenues may be used to pay costs of maintenance and operation of the Project, or for payment to the Fiscal Agent for the purpose of purchasing or calling and redeeming outstanding bonds. Surplus Revenues may be spent immediately after each month's required payments to the Fiscal Agent have been made, and the Board is required to account separately for Revenues and to report quarterly on the deposits of Revenues into the Port Revenue Fund and their allocation to accounts (interest, principal and sinking fund, and reserve). Issuance of Additional Bonds Resolutions No. 10378 and 17345 of the Board cover issuance of additional revenue bonds on a parity with those outstanding. These conditions have been or will be complied with prior to delivery of Series H Bonds and must be complied with prior to delivery of any subsequent series of bonds:
13—portable-13 Proof of Thursday, February 12, 1970—SORG/S.F.---982-9663
7 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 1. The maturity date of the last bonds to mature must not be earlier than the last maturity date of the bonds of any series then outstanding; serial maturities or annual sinking fund payments sufficient to retire all bonds at or before maturity must be established for each series of bonds; and the bonds must bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 7% and mature only on August 1 of any year. 2. The Board is required, at or prior to delivery of additional bonds, to file with the Fiscal Agent a statement of the improvements or extensions of the Project for which the additional bonds are pro- posed to be issued and their estimated costs, recommending them as economically and financially feasible. 3. Resolution No. 10378 provides that either (a) the net revenues for the twelve-month period ending at the end of the calendar quarter next preceding delivery of the additional bonds, or (b) the estimated net revenues for the twelve-month period beginning with the calendar quarter in which addi- tions or extensions to the Project are put in operation must be equal to at least one and one-half times the maximum combined annual debt service on the outstanding revenue bonds of all series, including the additional bonds to be issued. Resolution No. 17345 makes the additional requirement that either (a) the net revenues for the twelve-month period ending at the end of the calendar quarter next preceding delivery of the additional bonds, or (b) such net revenues plus 75% of the estimated additional annual net revenues from facilities to be constructed from proceeds of the additional bonds must be equal to at least one and one-half times the maximum combined annual debt service on the outstanding revenue bonds of all series, including the additional bonds to be issued. If estimates of future revenues are used in determining whether additional bonds can be issued, these estimates must be made by an independent engineer or certified public accountant; and Resolution 17345 provides that they are to be estimates of the average additional annual net revenues in the first 36 months of operation of the new facilities. Maintenance and Operation of Project and Existing Facilities The Board covenants that the Project and Existing Facilities will at all times be operated and main- tained in an efficient and economical manner and that all necessary repairs and improvements will be made as needed. The Board agrees to comply with all lawful orders of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over any Port facilities and to pay or cause to be paid any taxes or assessments on the facilities or any other lawful charges which, if unpaid, might impair the security of the bonds. The Board covenants that it will establish and maintain such reasonable rules and regulations as will' insure the maximum practicable occupancy and use of the facilities and services of the Port and produce the maximum available revenues. The Resolution provides that the Board may abandon any facilities which are part of the Project or of Existing Facilities or may discontinue or change the use of any such facilities if the annual net revenues produced by the remaining facilities in the preceding twelve months are sufficient to provide coverage of at least one and one-half times annual debt service requirements in the ensuing twelve months. Insurance The Resolution provides for insurance against losses of various kinds, as specified in Section 7.06. The following coverages are specifically required: Title insurance on any real property purchased or acquired by the Board as part of the Project. Fire and extended coverage insurance of 90% of full insurable value or to the greatest amount Obtainable if less than 90%.

8 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Fidelity insurance or fidelity bonds covering all employees receiving or handling Port revenues in an amount sufficient to cover the maximum amount of revenues received or handled daily by each such employee. Public liability insurance in an amount of not less than $100,000 for injuries to any one person and $300,000 for injuries in any one accident and property damage insurance in an amount not less than $100,000, except at Oakland International Airport. Minimum limits for insurance at the airport are $100,000, $500,000, and $500,000, respectively. (The Port actually now carries public liability insurance in the amount of $16,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage.) In the event that the Board fails to take out or maintain insurance as required in the Resolution, the Fiscal Agent may do so and pay for insurance out of the Reserve Account.
Reports and Accounts The Board is required by the Resolution to maintain accurate books and records showing all revenues received from and all expenditures relating to the Project and Existing Facilities. The City is required by law to maintain books and records showing all moneys in all funds and accounts in its custody, including the Port Revenue Fund. Within 90 days after the close of each fiscal year (June 30) the Board is to file with the Fiscal Agent a statement of revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year and a balance sheet taken at the close of the fiscal year, accompanied by a statement of an independent certified public accountant. A consoli- dated summary of the statement and balance sheet is to be published in the city's official newspaper within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, and copies of the summary are to be made available upon request to holders of the bonds and to others interested in them. In addition, within 50 days after the close of each calendar quarter, the Board's principal accounting officer is required to make a written report of Revenues received from the Project and Existing Facilities during that quarter and the amounts required to be paid over to the Fiscal Agent to be held in the interest, principal and sinking fund, and reserve accounts. Copies of this report are to be filed with the Fiscal Agent and with the City Auditor and Treasurer.
Loss by Fire, Condemnation or Other Cause Beyond Control of Board In the event of loss of any part of the Project or Existing Facilities by fire or similar cause beyond the control of the Board, insurance proceeds are to be set aside and applied either to the reconstruction or restoration of the facilities damaged or destroyed or to the acquisition or construction of new revenue- producing facilities. Similarly, in the event any part of the Project or Existing Facilities is taken by condemnation, the proceeds are to be applied to replacement of facilities lost or to the construction of new revenue-producing facilities. Facilities acquired or built to replace property lost by fire or condemnation are to be considered part of the Project or of the Existing Facilities, depending on the status of the original facilities. The effect of these provisions is to provide for replacement of revenues lost through causes beyond control of the Board while still allowing the Board discretion in determining how revenues are to be produced.
Other Covenants In addition to the specific covenants recited above, the Board agrees in the Resolution that: 1. It will punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the bonds, together with any premiums in strict conformity with the terms of the bonds and of the Resolution. 2. It will not encumber or permit to be encumbered by mortgage, lien or otherwise any property or moneys used in connection with or applicable to the Project, the Existing Facilities of the Port, or the bonds. The Board may lease any portion of the Project or Existing Facilities pursuant to the charter, provided that gross revenues of Project leases and net revenues of leases of Existing Facilities are pledged to the security of the bonds. The Resolution can be modified or amended only with the consent or approval of the holders of two-thirds of the bonds. Obligations to pay interest and principal of any bond when due cannot be modified without the consent of the holder of that bond.

9 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement) -12 on 13-7909 THE BOND PROJECT The great importance of containership operations and Oakland's preeminent position as a contain- ership port are discussed in a later section of this statement. The present project is a major element in the Port's program for accommodating the demand for containership facilities in the San Francisco Bay area. The Series H Bond proceeds are to he applied to the development of a complete containership terminal in the Middle Harbor area. The project includes demolition of existing docks and provision of a 1,670-foot concrete wharf, a container crane, crane rails, paved container storage areas, and other necessary facilities, together with a container freight station with freight shed, office space and paved areas. The 53-acre site was acquired by the Port in 1968 and initial redevelopment costs have been funded from proceeds of the Series G bonds.
MIDDLE HARBOR MARINE TERMINAL Cost and Sources of Funds Estimated total construction cost $7,800,000 Funds now available 2,550,000 Balance to be funded $5,250,000 Increase in Reserve Fund 700,000 Incidental costs 50,000 Principal amount, Series H Bonds $6,000,000 New Revenues The Port's facilities have been greatly expanded and modernized in the last five years and the Port's net revenues have more than quintupled in the period.

10 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13--7909 This list includes the Series H project as well as projects financed from previous bond issues or from surplus Port revenues. Most of the estimated revenues are expected to start accruing in 1970/71 and all by July 1, 1972. In addition to these projects, the Port is engaged in construction being financed by the Economic Development Administration, as discussed on page 1111. Prospective revenues from these EDA projects are not included in the above tabulation.

11 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Revenue Bond Coverage The Port's revenues and expenditures, summarized below, are discussed more fully in later sections of this statement. Net revenues for 1968/69 were the highest on record, and the extensive development program now under way in each of the Port's departments indicates substantial future growth. On the assumption of a 7.00% interest rate for Series H Bonds, the Port's maximum total annual revenue bond service requirement will be $3,117,180 in 1972. The revenues pledged to the bonds include gross revenues of the Project, net revenues of Existing Facilities and interest income. For the latest audited period, these pledged revenues cover the maximum proposed bond service requirement 2.97, times. Revenues, year ended. June 30, 1969 Gross revenues, Project $6,459,414 Net revenues, Existing Facilities 1,811,291 Interest income 986,722 Total pledged revenues $9,257,427 Maximum revenue bond service (1972) $3,117,180 Ratio of pledged revenues to bond service 2.97
Table 2 compares net income, after all maintenance and operating expenses (but before depre- ciation), with revenue bond service requirements. Figures shown for the first six years are from audited reports. For later years, pro forma figures are shown consisting of the estimates for 1969/70 by the Port's Director of Fiscal Affairs plus additional net revenues of $900,000 to be generated from current projects as previously discussed.

Table 2 indicates that, after the completion of the current construction projects, the proposed annual revenue bond service will be covered at least 2.5 times, and that over $4,800,000 of net income, after payment of bond service, will become available to the Port each year for capital improvements and for additional debt retirement if desired. Under agreements with the Economic Development Administration, the Port is issuing special revenues bonds, junior to the 1957 Revenues Bonds in lien on Port revenues. Revenues from projects to be financed by these bonds are expected to substantially exceed the correspond- sing bond service requirements. Neither these expected revenues nor the junior bond service are reflected in the data of Table 2.

12 –PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-1 2 on 1 3-41 63, On August 7, 1967, the Port sold $750,000 of junior lien special revenue bonds maturing on July 1, 1970, for which annual sinking fund payments were required. These bonds are on a parity with the special revenue bonds to be issued under the EDA agreements. The maximum amount of Surplus Revenues required in any fiscal year for the service of all of these special revenue bonds is $662,459 in 1969/70. Resolution No. of the Board, dated , provides that the Port will pay, out of Surplus Revenues available after the service of all Port bonds, the principal and interest payable during 1969/70 on the City of Oakland 1955 Airport Bonds, an amount of $589,090.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A comparative balance sheet for the Port of Oakland for June 30, 1969 and 1968, is presented on page Total fixed assets after depreciation, are valued at $71,102,801 as of June 30, 1969. This valuation is based on cost, except for approximately $14,800,000 of assets shown at their 1939 appraised value. No value is assigned for lands granted by the State of California. Statements of operating income are given in Tables 4 and 5. These show operating results of the airport, marine terminals, and properties departments, together with interest earned. Non-operating income not pledged to the revenue bonds, and non-operating expenditures which rank in priority below bond service, have been omitted from these tables. Since June 30, 1961, each of the Port's operating divisions has shown a steady increase in revenues. The gains have been especially marked in the last five years. In 1968/69 both gross and net operating income were by far the highest on record; net operating income was $5,407,570 against current bond service of $1,920,962 and the proposed maximum annual bond service of $3,117,180 in 1972. Particularly great gains were shown for the marine terminals, reflecting the development of the Port's outstanding position in containership service. The airport also has had remarkable growth, still accelernting. The increase in properties department revenue is due mainly to the rise in the tenants' gross income, a percentage of which determines the amount of rentals payable. Estimates shown in Table 4 for 1969/70 are based on operating results for the first six months and indicate a continuing strong upward trend. Current projects are expected to produce additional net revenues of $985,000 annually, as discussed previously. These additional revenues will begin to be received by the Port during 1970/71, but not in full until 1972.

15 —PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE —12 on 13-4163 THE PORT OF OAKLAND
The City of Oakland has operated a public harbor to serve waterborne commerce since the city was incorporated in 1854. Management of the Port has been in the hands of the Board of Port Com- missioners since 1927. The Board has exclusive control of all Port revenues and of proceeds of all bond sales for harbor or airport improvements. Under provisions of a new city charter adopted in 1968, the Board of Port Commissioners has been increased from five to seven members, with staggered four-year terms. Members are appointed by the City Council upon nomination by the Mayor. Mr. Ben E. Nutter, the Executive Director, has served the Port since 1957. He was previously Director of Public Works and Chairman of the Board of Harbor Commissioners of Hawaii. The Port Area extends from north of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge approximately 19 miles along the Oakland side of the Oakland Estuary to the Oakland International Airport. Port facilities. include five major marine terminal areas, 1,000 acres of industrial and commercial land under lease or available for lease or sale, 11,500 acres of undeveloped land and tidelands, and the Oakland Inter- national Airport with an area of 2,500 acres. The present value of Port property is estimated at $150,000,000, and the combined value of public and private holdings in the Port Area exceeds $300,000,000. Operation of the Port is divided among three departments, Airport, Properties, and Marine Ter- minals, under the administration of the Executive Director and with centralized accounting, engineering, purchasing, and legal services. The departments are described generally below; their financial operations are discussed in later sections of this official statement.
Marine Terminals The shipping of cargo in uniform sealed containers of truck-trailer size has revolutionized the marine transport industry. With high-volume operations, containerization has proven to have such advantage in speed and economy that a great expansion of its use is now in progress. Marine terminals are required with wide aprons, special cranes, large open areas for truck movement and parking, and convenient rail and highway access. The Port of Oakland is the second largest container port in the world (and the largest on the Pacific Coast), whether ranked in container tonnage or terminal acreage, number of container berths, or number of container cranes. It is uniquely well equipped among San Francisco Bay ports to provide suitable containership terminals, and the Port is moving to extend its leadership with its current capital improvement program. Kaiser Engineers, in their "Technical and Economic Study of Marine Terminal Facilities at the Port of Oakland", dated December 1966, include the following important conclusions: "A. The demand for modern containership facilities will continue to accelerate during the next 15 years as the volume of cargo of all types increases, with ultimately 70 to 90% of the general cargo being handled through San Francisco Bay Ports becoming containerized. B. The following tabulation summarizes the most current market evaluations of projected tonnage through-put for the Port of Oakland through the year 1980:
Annual Volume (tons) Actual 1965 1970 1975 1980 Containerized 375,000 1,491,000 2,130,000 2,951,000 Noncontainerized 616,000 681,000 707,000 765,000 Total Demand 991,000 2,172,000 2,837,000 3,716,000
C. Oakland is in the strongest position of all Bay Ports geographically and economically to attract the predominant share of this increase in container trade if facilities are available to meet the demand."

16 —PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-12 on 13-4163 The following table shows actual containerized cargo tonnage moving through the Port of Oakland from 1965 to 1968 with an estimate for 1969. As may be seen, the growth of Oakland's containerized tonnage has very far outstripped the projections of the Kaiser Engineers Study.
PORT OF OAKLAND Containerized Cargo Tonnage 1965 375,000 1966 725,000 1967 975,000 1968 1,529,000 1969 (estimated) 3,120,000
The Port's first containership terminal was the 26-acre facility in the Outer Harbor opened in 1962 under 20-year assignment to Sea-Land Services, Inc. Three dockside cranes are used to move containers directly between truck chassis and shipboard. A ship holding about 14,000 tons of cargo can be fully discharged and loaded in about 28 hours. Sea-Land serves the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts, Puerto Rico, and Alaska, as well as transatlantic and transpacific ports. Sea-Land facilities, including rail/truck terminal and maintenance areas, cover 60 acres. The Seventh Street Marine Terminal, the largest and most modern containership terminal on the Pacific Coast, is still under development. It will cover 140 acres of newly developed land, between two deep-water channels, with excellent rail and highway access. It has been designed primarily for container- ship operations, although break-bulk cargo is also handled. About half of this terminal area has been leased or is under option to Matson Navigation Company. The company is one of the pioneers in containership operation, and now offers containership service between Pacific Coast ports and. Hawaii and Japan. It has entered into 20-year agreements with the Port for the use of a 31-acre containership terminal and an 11-acre container freight station, and has an option on an additional 24 acres. Matson has at its own expense provided cranes, freight sheds, and other improvements at a cost estimated at over $4,000,000. Matson Navigation Company commenced operation at their new terminal in September 1968. In addition to Matson Navigation Company, two Japanese lines (N.Y.K. and Showa Line) operate at Matson's facilities with containerships serving Japan and the West Coast. Four Japanese lines (Mitsui-O.S.K. Line, Yamashita-Shinnihon Line, "K" Line and Japan Line) commenced operation at their new containership facility at the Seventh Street Terminal in November 1968 under a preferential wharf assignment agreement. Including option areas, these four lines will have one berth and a terminal area of 16 acres including a container freight station. The berth is served by a 33-ton container crane. A public accommodation combination container and break-bulk facility commenced operations in December 1968 serving both container and semi-container ships. The terminal, operated by Marine Terminals Corporation, has one berth and covers 14 acres. A combination container freight station and transit shed has recently been completed. Five more berths are to be constructed at the Seventh Street Terminal. Two will be for Matson Navigation Company and three will be added to the public terminal, expanding the public terminal to 34 acres. The city owns in all five major marine terminal areas under jurisdiction of the Port of Oakland: Outer Harbor, Grove and Market Street, Ninth Avenue, Middle Harbor and the Seventh Street area. The terminals in these areas now have altogether 21 berths, 1,043,872 square feet of transit shed and container freight station space with 5,464,412 square feet of open wharves (125 acres) including container storage areas. The principal transit sheds as well as the container freight stations are of modern concrete and steel construction, completely sprinklered and designed for free-flowing truck traffic.

17 —PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-12 on 13-4163. Howard Terminal operates, under lease, the Port's Outer Harbor general cargo public facilities and the Grove Street Terminal, the latter as part of a complex which includes Howard Terminal's privately- owned piers and terminal facilities in the Port Area. Howard Terminal has also a preferential assignment to one berth in the Outer Harbor. Marine Terminals Corporation, one of the major stevedore and terminal operators on the Pacific Coast, operates the Port's Ninth Avenue Terminal under a preferential assignment agreement. The new Seventh Street Terminal now has three container terminal operators—Matson Terminal, Oakland Container Terminal Company, Inc. and Marine Terminals Corporation. In 1967, Montgomery Ward & Company established their Pacific Coast Import Distribution Depot at the Port of Oakland and now has 130,990 square feet under lease with option for an additional 56.090 square feet. This Depot, adjacent to the docks in the Outer Harbor area, serves as a storage, inspection and distribution facility for import cargo. Its establishment has resulted in substantial increase in new import tonnage over the Port's marine terminal facilities. The Port has also three other import/export storage and distribution centers in which expert operators act as agents of shippers and importers in performing distribution services. Two mainline railroads, Southern Pacific and Western Pacific, terminate in Oakland and have their major Northern California rail yards within two miles of the Oakland docks. The Santa Fe Railroad serves Oakland from its major rail yards nearby in Richmond. These railroads have direct connections to 11 miles of dockside rails at the Port of Oakland piers. Switching operations in the Outer Harbor area are performed by the Southern Pacific and by Oakland Terminal Railway, a belt line owned by the Western Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad companies. The Port is especially well situated for truck service to the inland cargo tributary area, with easy access to an extensive freeway system including the trans- continental highways Interstate 80 and U.S. 50. The oil company terminals of the Outer Harbor are connected by pipeline to the large refineries in Contra Costa County. Operating Agreements Oakland has enjoyed excellent waterfront labor relations ever since the coastwide longshoremen's strike of 1948. Longshore labor is supplied under a series of long-term contracts between the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and the Pacific Maritime Association covering the entire Pacific Coast. The present contract runs until June 30, 1971. Prior to 1957 the Port operated its terminal facilities, but since then they have been leased or assigned to private operators. Payments under the terms of the marine terminal agreements depend primarily upon dockage, wharfage, demurrage, container-crane rent, and other terminal-tariff charges, subject in most cases to guaranteed minimum annual payments. Provisions of the principal agreements are shown in the following table.

19 ,.—PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-12 on 13-4163, Properties Department Leases of property in the Port Area for industrial or commercial use constitute the Port's largest and most stable source of net income. The properties department has now in effect over 175 private leases and 4 with governmental agencies. Most leases are for ground rental only, but many cover also facilities constructed by the Port. Leases for commercial property are generally based on a percentage of gross revenues, subject to a fixed minimum rental. During 1968/69, properties department gross operating revenues were $2,771,386, or 30% of the Port's total, while net revenues were $1,899,073, or 43% of the Port's total. Leases expiring after 1979, ten of which are based on gross revenues, account for about 43% of the department's revenues. Existing leases are for terms of up to 63 years; leases can be written for as long as 66 years, except on State-granted tidelands where the term is generally limited to 50 years. The properties department is responsible for maintaining insurance for the property of all Port departments. Revenue insurance is maintained covering property leased or assigned to tenants now paying a total of $4,207,500 annually to the Port. The revenue insurance provides for continuation of payments in case of fire or other extended coverage loss for the time required to reconstruct the facilities, up to a maximum of one year. The Port also maintains or requires the maintenance of fire insurance with extended coverage endorsements on all Port-owned facilities. The Port's facilities are so widely distributed that the possibility of a major disaster that would impair the Port's basic rental income is very remote.

20 —PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-12 on 13-4163 Jack London Square The Port of Oakland has converted a once dilapidated waterfront area into Jack London Square. now an outstanding restaurant center and tourist attraction and the site of the Port's administration building. Restaurants in the Square include the Bow and Bell, Castaway, Elegant Farmer, Marco Polo, Oakland Sea Food Grotto, Sea Wolf, and Showboat. Goodman's 10 jack London Square is a 25,000 square-foot convention and banquet building which can accommodate 1,000 persons at one banquet or in five separate rooms by use of movable soundproof partitions. Most of the restaurants overlook the Estuary. The Square has been landscaped by the Oakland Park Department and offers spacious parking areas and docking facilities for pleasure boats. The Jack London Square Marina development includes 200 berths, a boat ramp, hoist, fueling station and office building. Other tenants include a 70-unit motor lodge and boatel, gift shops, a television station, radio station, bank, ship chandlery, and U.S. Customs. The Port's total investment in Jack London Square improvements, including the Port's administra- tion building, is approximately $3,500,000. The commercial facilities are leased to private operators who have made improvements estimated to cost $4,500,000. Gross income to the Port for 1968/69 amounted to $404,070.
Industrial Park The Port has developed a major industrial park which has become a principal source of revenues. The property adjoins the Oakland International Airport and has also exceptionally good rail and highway access. Approximately 300 acres have now been developed and garden-type industrial sites are offered for lease or sale. As of December 31, 1969, 63 acres have been leased, 101 acres have been sold, and 3 acres are under option. Minimum annual returns from leases amount to $135,480. Under the terms of a 50-year lease, the Edgewater Inn, a 175-room motor hotel was opened in 1961. This has recently been sublet to the Hyatt Corporation, which has commenced construction of a three-story 200-room addition, as well as an addition to the present building, at a total cost of $1,500,000. Land sales have been made to 42 firms, including American Toy Co., Avis Truck Rental Division, Crane Carrier Corp., Safeway Stores, Union Oil Co., Skaggs Pay-Less Drugs, Chanslor & Lyon, Grand of California, John Kealy Company, W. W. Grainger Co., and Goldman's Stores, Inc. The Stolte Company has purchased 6 acres on which it has constructed a 54,000 square-foot airport office center. Stolte has an option on three additional acres for future expansion of the office center to 200,000 square feet.

The Port of Oakland is aggressively promoting the use of its airport with its "Fly Oakland" Campaign. Expenses charged to this promotion amounted to $728,216 in 1968/69. In 1969, new or additional service was added to Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, Chicago and Honolulu. In 1970, Continental Airlines is scheduled to begin service at Oakland, with flights to Albuquerque and the Southwest. More new service is expected to result from route cases now pending before the Civil Aeronautics Board. The Port of Oakland and Oakland Chamber of Commerce are aggressively participating in these cases. The $20,000,000 expansion of the airport, completed in September 1962, was financed from $10,000,000 of City of Oakland general obligation bonds, approximately $7,000,000 in federal aid grants, and $3,000,000 of Port of Oakland revenue bonds and Port revenues. The expansion program included construction of a 4 1/2 mile dike enclosing 1,400 acres of tidelands, of which 685 acres have been filled. A 10,000-foot runway was built, equipped with the most modern instrumentation. This runway is in the process of being extended to 12,500 feet. The terminal complex includes a two-story terminal building and ten gate positions. The parking area, originally of 10 acres, has been enlarged to nearly 26 acres with more than 3,200 spaces. The present 10 gate positions are at ground level. An expansion is currently being planned which will result in the addition of second-level loading at the present gates and approximately 20 additional gates and related terminal facilities, including a new customs facility.

22 -.PORT OF OAKLAND—OFF. STATE.-12 on 13-4163 The first stage of an _air cargo center has been constructed. There are two buildings, one of 14,300 square feet, financed with assistance of the Economic Development Administration, and the second of 50,000 square feet, built and managed by Yellow Cab Company on land leased from the Port. An aircraft parking ramp serving the two buildings has space for four jet freighters. Oakland is headquarters for three of the world's largest supplemental airlines, World Airways, Trans International Airlines and Saturn Airways, which offer civilian and military charter service. Major airline maintenance bases are operated at Oakland by World Air Center and by San Francisco-Oakland Helicopter Airlines. A fourth major supplemental air carrier, Universal Airlines, is in process of transferring its maintenance base to Oakland. All commercial airline operations were transferred to the new terminal in 1962. General aviation has since expanded at a rapid rate in the area formerly used for commercial airline operations. The number of aircraft based at Oakland has grown from 224 in 1962 to 500 at present. In addition to its new 10,000-foot Category II runway serving the commercial airport, Oakland has three runways used primarily by general aviation aircraft at what is known as the north airport. These have lengths of 6,210, 3,400 and 5,520 feet, the last being equipped with high intensity approach lights and an instrument landing system. Commercial jet air carrier operations rose to 75,012 in 1969 from 64,047 in 1968, with total aircraft operations, including general aviation, amounting to 366,938 in 1969. Airport buildings and facilities are under lease to 140 private firms and 12 governmental agencies. In addition, 24 concessionaires operate at the Airport.

23 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Hilton Hotels has signed a 63-year lease on a 21-acre airport motor hotel site convenient to the Oakland Coliseum complex, the center of Oakland's major sports activities. Construction of the first phase is scheduled to be completed, and the 300-room, $2,800,000 unit to open, in March 1970. Plans are already being prepared for the second phase 100-room unit which is to be completed by January 1971. The main access to Oakland Airport is at present provided by the six-lane Hegenberger Road and the terminal, will afford convenient access to various points in Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco Nimitz Freeway. A station of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, three miles from the airport passenger counties. An airport link from this station is now under study. A new bridge, the Southern Crossing, between Oakland and San Francisco has been designed having a terminus at Oakland Airport providing additional easy access to San Francisco, downtown Oakland and other cities in Alameda and Contra Costa County. THE FINANCING OF PORT DEVELOPMENT The facilities of the Port of Oakland on June 30, 1969 had a cost (or value as appraised in 1939) of $87,510,780. Approximately % of this amount is represented by commercial and industrial property, % by the airport, and % by marine terminals. The present value of Port property is estimated at over $150,000,000.
City of Oakland Bonds The City of Oakland has issued two series of general obligation bonds to finance Port Activities, $9,784,000 of 1925 Harbor Improvement Bonds and $10,000,000 of 1955 Airport Bonds. Proceeds of these issues were deposited with the Port and were applied to the construction of the Outer Harbor Terminal, the Grove Street Terminal, and the Ninth Avenue Terminal, and to the development of the Oakland International Airport. All of the Harbor Improvement Bonds have now matured. There remain outstand- ing $4,270,000 of the Airport Bonds. These bonds were issued as obligations of. the City of Oakland, secured by the power of taxation, and are not obligations of the Port of Oakland. The Port, however, paid the principal and interest on the Airport Bonds during 1968/69, in the amount of $603,640, and has agreed to do so in 1969/70, in the amount of $589,090.
Port of Oakland Bonds 1957 Revenue Bonds In 1957, the Port began to use revenue bonds to finance the construction of certain revenue producing facilities in the Port area. These facilities are part of the Project, as is the entire Oakland International Airport (by resolution of the Board). These revenue bonds are secured by the pledge of gross revenues of all Project Facilities, and of the net revenues of all Existing Facilities. Upon sale of Series H, the Port will have sold eight issues of its 1957 Revenue Bonds, in a total principal amount of $43,250,000, of which $40,170,000 will be outstanding.

24 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Special and Junior Lien Revenue Bonds The Port has entered into agreements with the Economic Development Administration for financing projects discussed below. These involve the issuance of $9,359,000 of bonds to be secured by a lien upon Surplus Revenues in the Port Revenue Fund (after provision has been made for service of the 1957 Revenue Bonds). One issue of these bonds was secured also by a first lien on certain revenues from FDA projects in the industrial park; there remains outstanding $505,000 principal amount of this issue. The Port has also issued a series of the special revenue bonds, in the amount of $750,000, for development of truck terminal facilities in the Outer Harbor.
Certificates The Port issued $800,000 of Certificates in 1965 to finance construction of a golf course on Port property leased to the City of Oakland, and the Port expects to issue other Certificates from time to time for construction of new facilities. These Certificates are secured by a pledge of revenues from the facilities for which they are issued. At present, the golf course and fifteen acres of specially financed land in the industrial park are the only completed Port facilities on whose revenues the Port's 1957 Revenue Bonds do not have a first lien.

More than 1,400 acres of underwater land were reclaimed for the airport and a 10,000-foot runway was added. A $5,200,000 terminal building was put into operation in 1962 and many lesser improvements completed. The investments have resulted in a gratifying increase in traffic, and the airport department is now the Port's leading source of gross revenues. Other projects included the $3,500,000 development of Jack London Square (properties depart- ment), the construction of warehouses, truck terminal, and oil facilities in the Outer Harbor, and the construction of the bulk loader at the Ninth Avenue Terminal. Among the principal projects of recent revenue bond issues have been the development of the Sea-Land containership terminal, the development of the Seventh Street Marine Terminal, still continuing, and the acquisition of the site of the Middle Harbor terminal to be built from proceeds of the present bond issue. The Port-wide improvements from the $11,000,000 Series G Bond issue are for the most part not included in the above tabulation.

25 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Future Capital Development In addition to its current bond projects, the Port of Oakland has long-range capital improvement plans in four different areas: (1) marine terminals, (2) airport, (3) industrial park, and (4) Jack London Square. Improvements to the marine terminals of the Port of Oakland will be needed to keep up with advances in maritime industry, such as increased bulk handling of cargoes and containerization. At the Oakland International Airport there are over 800 acres of partly-developed land available for air cargo facilities, for major aircraft maintenance and airline operations, for general-aviation facilities, and for other commercial developments. Increased airline operations now require a doubling of the capacity of the present passenger terminal, and additional runway and taxiway development is needed. Construction is expected of a new hangar capable of accommodating the largest planned aircraft. The Port has a large tract of land adjacent to the airport, of which approximately 250 acres are being developed and marketed as a first-class industrial park. Development is continuing on a 200-acre area which has been proposed as the site of a major airport distribution center. As development proceeds at Jack London Square, additional parking space must be provided. Plans are being considered for developing the remaining surface parking areas and for multi-level parking structures. Future Financing In addition to the Series EI and future issues of the 1957 Revenue Bonds, the Port intends to use the following sources to finance its capital development.
1. Current Revenues The Port expects net operating income of $7,020,000 in 1969/70 and $900,000 annually in additional net revenues upon completion of current projects, for a total of $7,920,000. After provision for the $3,117,180 projected maximum revenue bond service, this would leave more than $4,800,000 available annually for capital outlay or other purposes.
2. Special Revenue Bonds The Port has entered into agreements with the Economic Development Administration for the financing of three of the Port's major projects. EDA has agreed to grant 60% of the total project costs and to bid for $9,010,000 of 3 3/4 % bonds to provide the remaining 40% of the costs. EDA has also granted $453,300 and agreed to bid for $349,000 of 41/a% bonds for additional airport facilities. The bonds are special revenue bonds secured by a lien on general Port revenues junior to that of the 1957 Revenue Bonds. One series, the $700,000 Industrial Park Development Bonds, is additionally secured by a lien on certain revenues from lease or sale of the property developed with EDA funds. This series was sold on December 18, 1967. Portions of the other issues have been sold to EDA and it is expected that all of these other bonds will be issued within two years. The net revenues to be generated by the projects are estimated to substantially exceed the debt service requirements of approximately $500,000 annually for the special revenue bonds. The EDA agreements cover: a) The development of three berths at the Seventh Street Marine Terminal. b) Construction of a hangar for aircraft maintenance and airline operations at the Oakland Airport. The hangar is to be leased to World Airways. c) Development of 30 acres in the Port's industrial park by providing land fill, roads, utilities, and rail access. d) Contributions toward construction of small-plane hangars and an air cargo terminal at the Oakland Airport.

3. Certificates The Port may finance certain developments by the issuance of Certificates. Each series could be secured either by income from the lease of the facilities financed by that series, or by a second lien on general Port revenues on a parity with that of the special revenue bonds. The Port is negotiating with a shipping company for the purchase of the company's facilities (including land and improvements) in the Port Area. If the sale is consummated, the Port intends to place privately approximately $20,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness, the proceeds of which will go to pay the purchase price and to finance improvements to the facilities. Principal of and interest on said certificates will be paid from payments to be made by the company pursuant to a lease and preferential assignment of the facilities, and will not be secured by a lien on the Port's general revenues pledged to secure revenue bonds.

27 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Staternent)-12 on 13-7909 THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
The San Francisco Bay area is one of the nation's largest and fastest growing population centers. Its scenic and climatic attractions are world famous. It is the seat of very important schools of higher education. It is a major financial and commercial center, and it has a highly diversified industrial base. The entire area is served by the Port of Oakland's marine activities and, to a considerable extent, by its airport and property departments. As a dominant port for containerized cargo, Oakland serves much of the nation. It is a primary distribution center for northern California and much of the Western United States, and especially for the entire San Francisco Bay area. The Oakland International Airport is the base of three of the world's largest supplemental airlines, and Oakland serves a wide area as a principal airport for international charter flights. The large expan- sion in service now under development and the improvement in access in the near future with the beginning of rapid transit and the construction of a new bridge should substantially enhance Oakland's position as a major regional airport. The Port's property department has tenants who serve primarily only the East Bay, but it has also many tenants, such as trucking and railway companies, whose services extend to and beyond the entire San Francisco Bay area. The counties nearest to the Port and most important to it are Alameda and Contra Costa, on the eastern shore of the Bay, and San Franciscco, about four miles to the west. The Bay Area as a whole, the nine-county area, includes also the counties of MarM, Napa; San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma. Of the nine counties, Alameda is the largest in population, with Oakland as its principal financial and commercial center. Population The cities of Oakland and San Francisco h a ve remained fairly constant in pnpnintinn , but the neighboring area has been growing rapidly and is expected to continue to do so for many years to come. The Bay Area accounts for about one-quarter of California's population. As shown in the table below, it more than doubled in population from 1940 to 1960, and another very large increase is estimated to 1980.

28 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Staternen1)-12 on 13-7909 Economic Indicators The economic indicators for the Bay Area have shown a long-term upward trend reflecting the growth in population and the prosperity of the area. Changes in the last ten years for selected economic elements are given in Table 7. The data are not fully comparable over the decade but they nevertheless show generally the magnitude of change and present values. Three-county totals are shown for Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties, and nine-county totals for the whole Bay Area.
TABLE 7 (TO COME)
The Bay Area is one of the nation's leading centers of commercial activity. Alameda, San Francisco, and Santa Clara Counties each had about $2,000,000,000 in taxable sales (mainly retail) in 1968, an increase of overall in the ten-year period. Oakland and San Francisco are the primary whole- sale and distribution centers for northern California and much of the western United States. Bank deposits have approximately doubled in the Bay Area in the decade. More than half the total are made in San Francisco, financial capital of the West and principal seat of banking, insurance, and investment activity. Industry The Bay Area enjoys a highly diversified industrial base, ranging from electronics and food proc- essing to oil refining and steel fabrication. San Francisco is primarily an administrative center, with the main offices of many large industrial corporations, including Crown Zellerbach, Di Giorgio, Fibreboard, and Standard Oil of California. Alameda County has an important General Motors assembly plant and principal plants of Friden, Gerber Products, and Cutler Laboratories. Oakland is world headquarters for Kaiser. Industries and affiliated companies, the county's largest private employer. Major industries include food processing, non-electrical manufacturing, metals fabrication, transportation equipment, chemicals, and primary metals. Contra Costa's major industry is petroleum refining, with Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum, Union Oil, and Shell Oil Company represented by refineries and related chemical processing facilities. The Standard Oil refinery at Richmond is the largest on the west coast. The county is also the home of the California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation which operates the world's largest sugar refinery at Crockett. Bethlehem Steel and U. S. Steel have major fabricating plants in the county. Standard Oil of California and affiliated companies are the largest private employers in the county. Important industrial groups other than petroleum refining include chemicals, primary metals, food processing, paper manufacturing, transportation equipment and fabricated metals. San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties contain a large electronics research and manufacturing center, including facilities of Ampex, Hewlett-Packard, Philco-Ford, Sylvania, and Varian. The San Jose metro- politan area has Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. (its largest employer), several laboratories and a large research and manufacturing plant of International Business Machines, the international headquarters and some of the largest manufacturing facilities of the FMC Corporation, and a Ford Motor assembly plant.

29 PORT OF OAKLAND (Official Statement)-12 on 13-7909 Transportation The extensive harbor and airport facilities under jurisdiction of the Port of Oakland combine with railroads and highways to make Oakland a most important transportation center. Oakland is western terminus for three transcontinental railroads: Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, and Santa Fe (Richmond), and it is the headquarters of Pacific Intermountain Express, a leader in the trucking field. Ready access is provided by an extensive freeway system, including transccontinental highways Interstate 80 and U. S. 50. A major highway development and improvement program has been carried on in the area for years. Several ports serve the Bay Area. Oakland is by far the leader in containerized cargo, with advantages both in terminal facilities and in access to truck and rail distribution. Richmond, in Contra Costa County, is a very important petroleum port, and San Franciscco is the principal general cargo port. Of the seven bridges spanning the Bay, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge carries the heaviest traffic with five lanes in each direction. Design has been completed on another bridge between San Francisco and Oakland, which would knit still closer the economy of the Bay Area. The region is served by the San Francisco and the Oakland International airports and by the San Jose municipal airport in Santa Clara County. San Francisco has been operating at close to practical capacity, so that growth has been restricted in recent years. Oakland and San Jose airports however are continuing their rapid growth and are taking an increasingly important share of the area's air traffic. The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District includes Contra Costa, Alameda, and. San Francisco Counties. On November 6, 1962, the voters of the three counties passed a proposition for the issuance by the District of $792,000,000 general obligation bonds for financing construction of the greater portion of the new rapid transit system. These bonds have all been issued. In addition, $50,000,000 have keen sold of an authorized $150,000,000 of sales tax revenue bonds for completion of the system and acquisition of rolling stock. Total cost of the entire project including the Trans-Bay Tube is estimated ' at Over $1,200,000,000. The system will consist of a 75-mile network with lines radiating north from Oakland to Berkeley and Richmond, east to Concord, south through Hayward to Fremont, west to San Francisco, and south from San Franciscco to Daly City. Approximately 70 miles of the system are now complete or under construction and the project as a whole is over 60% complete. A total of 38 stations will be connected by trains operating at a maximum speed of 70 mph. Service should begin in 1971 and it is expected that the whole system will be in operation by mid-1972. Future expansion may include lines north as far as Novato, east to Livermore and Antioch and the completion of a ring around the Bay from Fremont through San Jose and up the peninsula to San Franciscco. The system is expected to accelerate significantly the economic growth of the Bay Area.

-5- the 50% to 80%, and to implement this policy with each exist- ing tenant at the airport being placed in a category status in accordance with the following:
"Category I would be those firms who must operate at the airport or, in the judgment of airport management, be considered as the type of tenant that a growing, modern airport must have to meet competitive needs, and must be located on the ramp in order to offer their services."
"Category II tenants would be those who directly provide supporting aviation service for the air- port but can function without being directly on the ramp."
"Category III tenants would be those who provide supporting aviation service but can continue to function and serve airport needs without being located directly on the airport."
"Category IV would be those who are non-essential to the airport."
Following discussion on this item, a motion was made by
Commissioner Mortensen, seconded and passed unanimously, concur- ring in the recommendation to increase the required percentage of business as aviation oriented to 80% and that all airport tenants be notified of the new Port policy by certified mail and that the designation of categories be changed from Roman Numerals to letters A, B, C and D, and that each of the present tenants at the airport be classified into one of these four categories and be notified as to the category so assigned.

Mr. Thomas Cole, representing Cortelyou Cole, Inc.,
appeared before the Board regarding the Port s assessment of liqui-
dated damages and additional inspection charges under contract for
construction of the Port s air cargo building at the airport.
Mr. Cole informed the Board that he met with the Port Attorney,
-1- Chief Engineer, and Supervising Engineer Roy Clark at the Port
Attorney s suggestion in hopes of arriving at some mutually accept-
able settlement in-this matter, at which time arbitration was sug-
gested but that the-Port-Attorney had stated that arbitration on the matter would have-to be limited to recovery of the assessed liqui-
dated damages and the inspection charges, which was unacceptable to
Mr. Cole as he felt other aspects of the contract should be included
in the arbitration items. The Port Attorney confirmed his position
as stated by Mr. Cole. Mr. Cole stated that lack of settlement will
result in lengthy litigation as he will be unable to pay off his
subcontractors which will result in , suits against him. He further
stated that some of his requests for extension had not been granted
by the Port and that much of the delay on the job had been caused
by disputes between the Port s representative, Hugh O Neal and Port
staff and stated further that he felt the Port was not out any
money as the building-was not actually occupied until the first of
April. The Port Attorney informed the Board as to his meeting with
Mr. Cole, which was-also attended by a representative of Hugh O Neal,
and advised-the-Boardof its rights to engage an arbitrator but would
recommend limiting such arbitration to liquidated damages and in-
spection fees. It was the consensus of the Board that it should take
no further action on the matter at this time.
Representatives of Avis Rent-A-Car, as listed above, appeared
before the Board in anticipation of their request for a building permit
being on the calendar. The Board was advised that the building permit
application had been received on Wednesday, March 25, too late for

was calendared for the adjourned regular meeting of the Board to be held
on Wednesday, April 8, 1970.

Building Permit Application - Peter Bedford - Industrial
Park, was the subject-of-a memo to the Board from the Chief Engineer recommending approval of a building permit covering the construction of two connected office buildings adjacent to Oakport Road on Lot C-8 between the buildings occupied by the Raiders and Avis truck rentals.
Each of the two units would be 79 feet wide by 219 feet long and two stories in height, the total project estimated to cost more than two million dollars. Colored architect s rendering of the buildings were displayed to the Board together with a plan showing the ground
cover to be lawn area. The Chief Engineer pointed out to the Board that he was concerned over the exposed air-conditioning equipment
to be placed on the roof of the buildings in four separate locations.
A second rendering of the building was shown to the Board by Struc-
tural Engineer W. B. Clausen showing a parapet around the roof of
the structure using transite board to screen the air condition units.
The Executive Director and members of the Board stated that they were
not satisfied with this type of material; however, it was recommended
-3- that the building permit application be approved subject to the revised design for air-conditioning enclosures or screening which would meet the approval of the Executive Director. In this con- nection Resolution No. 19717 was passed granting Peter B. Bedford and Kirsten N. Bedford permission: to perform certain work.
Mr. Charles Walker, representing Walcan Trucking, Inc., appeared before the Board to inquire as to what affirmative action requirements are included in Port of Oakland contracts, specifically the contract with U. R Yegge Company for the demolition of wharves at the Middle Harbor Terminal and protesting to the Board that he, as a black truck driver, had been employed and then laid off while another truck driver who was not black was still working. He re- quested that the Board immediately stop work under the contract with L. R. Yegge Company until the company is willing to apply equal opportunity employment on the job. Following discussion on the matter as to the filing of a formal complaint and recourse to the
Fair Employment Practice Commission of the State, President Walters offered the services of Mr. Joseph Barnett, the Port Equal Opportu- nity Employment Officer, together with a member of the Port Attorney s office to immediately visit the site of the job and report back to the Board, at which time Mr. Walker left the Board meeting. Later in the meeting the Port Equal Opportunity Employment Officer, together with Deputy Port Attorney Wilson F. Wendt, reported back to the

He suggested that the Board offer an inducement, to increase service only, under a 12 months assistance program, which could be accomplished by the waiver of landing fees for added service where it is a-service level higher than that of December 1969, and that fueling in excess • of the gallonage level of December 1969 for

Interim Agreement With Strobel Rongved, was the sub- ject of a memo to the Board from the Assistant Executive Director in which the Board was informed that the Economic Development
Administration has advised that under no circumstances will the government supply funds for the construction of the maintenance hangar at the airport in excess of the original grant and loan commitment of $10,650,000 and that Charles Luckman Associates have been unable to meet the requirement of designing a structure with- in the budget requirements of the project, that the firm of Strobel
-22- Rongved, which has prepared a conceptual design for the proposed hangar which will house simultaneously four Boeing 747
Aircraft consisting of a total area of not less than 360,760 square feet including total hangar area, first floor shops and offices, second floor light shops and offices, and third and fourth floor offices, is willing to commit itself to submit preliminary design and preliminary construction cost estimates not later than June 15,
1970 and submit the contract documents by December 1, 1970. It was recommended that this firm be retained for the preparation of pre- liminary design for this structure. Payment would be on 2.5 times actual payroll cost with compensation for preliminaries not to exceed $125,000, with the understanding that if the firm is un- able to design the hangar within the limits of the Port approved budget, that either party may terminate the contract and the engi- neers shall be reimbursed on a 1.5 multiplier rather than the 2.5 multiplier, plus invoice cost for Port approved consultants and for soil investigations. Commissioner Soda had suggested earlier during the meeting that the proposed interim letter agreement be revised to reflect that the firm would be paid on a 1.5 multiplier with the understanding that if the firm meets the June 15, 1970 deadline for submission of preliminary design and preliminary construction cost estimates which are within the approved budget figures, the company will then be paid the two and one-half multiplier or the $125,000, whichever is the lesser figure. The Assistant Executive Director
informed the Board that Mr. Rongved was in the office and in dis-
cussion just held with him had approved this change in the interim
letter agreement and Resolution No. 19733 was passed authorizing exe-
cution of interim letter agreement with Strobel F Rongved, Consulting
Engineers.

landing and fuel charges comparable to other air lines. The Board
established it would wait until PSA takes action on the matter.

On this subject a report was made to the Board explain- ing the scope of-the project including the request fer a building permit and explaining that the tetal-projeCt involves the expenditure of approximately $175,000. It was explained that on completion of the construction project Schnitzer Steel Products of California, Inc. plans to berth vessels against the fendered ends of the three piers over property owned by the Port of Oakland being outside the property owned by the applicant and that during scrap loading operations, the end of the conveyor, which is retractable, also would protrude beyond the applicant s property. Because the right of the applicant to berth in publicly owned property was questioned by the Port, meetings were held between the representatives of the Port and the applicant at which the applicant s representative claimed the right to berth in this area without being granted permission to do so by the Port, which claim was based upon the fact that the ship would be berthed in navi- gable waters. The Board was informed that the Port Attorney did not agree with this contention and by - subsequent memo to the Assistant
Executive Director, outlined the various legal points to support this position, copies of which had been furnished to member of the Board.
It was the Executive Direetor s recOmmendation that because the right of the applicant to utilize publicly owned property to performcargo operations is in question and the use of the facility as described in
the fill permit applicatiOn and the building permit application is de- pendent Upon the answers to this question, the Board not act upon the
application for the fill permit or the application for the building
permit until the applicant has made an arrangement satisfactory to
the Port for the berthing of the vessel in the publicly owned area.

appeared before the Board to explain` the applicant s concept that
the Pott proper y is submerged land considered as navigable waters
and not subject to permit -for its use from the Pert. The-Pert
Attorney confirmed the Port s position as contained in the report
of the Assistant Executive Director and recommended that the Board
not act upon the applications until some arrangement is agreed to
between the Port and Schnitzer Steel Products for the berthing of
the-vessels The Pert Attorney and Attorney Clark agreed that the
question before the Board is actually a legal matter but Attorney
Clark explained further that it has just come to his attention that
some dredging will be required on the Port of Oakland property in
order to create enough depth for the vessels to work in the intended
location, which matter has not yet been discussed with Port represen-
tatives. Following further discussion a motion was made by Commissioner
Tripp, seconded and passed unanimously, to adopt the recommendations of
thefxecutive Director that no action will be taken at this time on
either the application for the fill permit or the application for the
building permit.

existing wharf and that both walkway and dolphin will be constructed
on property owned by the Federal Government lying between the U. S.
Bulkhead Line and the U. Pierhead Line Occupancy of this
land by the owners of abutting property, in this case Montana Flour
Mills Company, is allowed by a permit granted by the U. S. Government
dated June 3, 1913. It was also explained that Montana Flour Mills
-3- Company is presently operating under a Public Utility Wharfinger
Franchise issued by the Port in November, 1960. It was recommended

require further study, the application be approved subject to the appli-
cant obtaining all other - permitsand notifying the Corps of Engineers

nish proof of insurance showing the Port as an additional insured

Claim of--W. Lyons Construction Company, was the sub-
ject of a letter to the Board from the Port Attorney advising that
this firm has filed a formal claim for damages for breach of con- tract in the amount of $5,100.00, plus interest to recover the sum withheld as liquidated damages under contract for the construction of a truck and rail terminal at the northeast corner of Seventh and Ferry Streets, under which the contractor was assessed $75.00 per day for 34 days for the purported late completion of phases
II and III of that contract. Attorney Dario De Benedictis appeared before the Board in connection with this claim contending that the extension of timegranted on the prime contract for phase
I of the project also extended time for performance of phases
II and III and that under this interpretation all phases of the con- tract were completed within the specified time permitted under the contract as extended. The Port Attorney gave his interpretation of the contract to the Board advising that in his opinion, exten- sion of time for phase I of the contract did not automatically extend time for performance under phases II and III Id that the money withheld from the contractor as liquidated damages was legally in order. Following further discussion on the matter the vote was called on the resolution rejecting claim of W. E. Lyons Construc- tion Company, which failed of adoption by the following vote:
Ayes: Commissioner Bilotti 1; Noes: Commissioners Gainor,
Mortensen, Soda, Tripp and President Walters - 5; Absent: Commis- sioner Berkley - 1. The Port Attorney was then directed to prepare a resolution remitting liquidated damages assessed against W. E.

Gainor, Mortensen, Tripp and President Walters - 5; Noes: None;
Absent: Commissioners Berkley and Soda - 2.
Building Permit Application, Ryan, Marocco 4 Company, was the subject of a memo tothe Board from Senior Engineer John L.
Lambert explaining that three building permits are involved, two
for generally identical buildings containing 107,970 square feet,
each to cost $890,000 which does not include interior partitions
pending the securing of tenants; the third permit for a small
-2- building located in the court yard approximately 20° x 50 in size, to house heating and ventilating equipment at a cost of $61,000.
Renderings of the proposed buildings and a plot plan of the area were displayed for information of the Board, and following discussion on the matter a motion was-made by Commissioner Soda, seconded and passed unanimously, to approve the building permits but requiring
that escrow be closed for the purchase of the property no later than
60 days from this date on the basis of allowing 45 days for the pro-
curement of the building permit through the City of Oakland proce-
dures and 15 days thereafter for the closing of escrow. Resolution
No. 19845 was then-passed authorizing execution of certain license
and concession agreements which included an interim license agreement
granted to Ryan, Marocco Company as recommended by memo from the
Manager, Properties Department, and Resolution No: 19846 was passed
granting Ryan, Marocco ? Company permission to perform certain work,

The continued item of a building permit application of
Mardeco, Inc. in Jack London Square for the construction of an
8 x 12 building at the south end of Webster Street Wharf, which
is in place and being used for the sale of fishing tackle and bait,
was called for discussion. Mr. Harry Bruno appeared on behalf of
Mardeco, Inc. -to explain the-circumstances surrounding the con-
struction of the building and apologized to the Board for having
proceeded without having the required building permit: Mr. Bruno
stated that during the first month of operation, the Bait Box did
approximately $2,000 in gross business which made an increase
revenue to the Port of approximately $100. Mr. Bruno explained
further that the operation-of both the Spice Box and the Bait Box
will be watched closely as to the affect that the new restaurant
now under construction has on their operation and that if
feasible, a new structure will be built to house both the Spice
-3- Box and the Bait Box at -a later date. Following discussion on the matter Resolution No. 19852 was passed granting Mardeco, Inc. permission to perform certain work, which action approved the building permit for the Bait Box and a motion was made by Commis- sioner Tripp, seconded and passed unanimously, referring the matter
of a separate rental for the Bait Box operation to the real-estate
committee of the Board.
The continued item of Director of Research and Designa-
tion of Port Department Heads approved by the Board in principle
at its meeting of June 3, 1970, was called for discussion and
Mr. Milton Anninos, General Manager of the Oakland Municipal Civil
Service Employees Association, appeared before the Board explain-
ing that he felt this action of the Board designating department heads was premature and should be withheld until such time as the
Oakland City Council adopted its personnel ordinance as required
under Article VIII, Section 804 of the new city charter. The Port
Attorney explained his opinion, which is concurred in by the City
Attorney, that the exemption of department heads as specified under
Article VIII, Section 802, Sub-section (c), is separate and apart
from any relationship to Section 804, regarding a personnel ordi-
nance. An ordinance was then passed to print being, An Ordinance
Amending Certain Sections of, and AddingCertain Sections to Port
Ordinance No. 867 Creating Certain Positions and Designating De-
partment Heads in the Port Department.

formed the Board°that-no`memorandum of understanding had been

ciation, listed the terms of a substantial agreement reached be- tween the Meet and Confer representatives and the Western Council of Engineers and the results of meeting and consulting with Steam- fitters Local 342 regarding building maintenance engineers and
chief building maintenance engineers. As this information was presented to the members of the Board at the meeting, the Board
determined that it would hold an adjourned regular meeting to con- vene at 7:00 p.m; on Thursday, June 18, 1970 to discuss this sub-
ject further. Mr. Paul Varacalli, representing United Public
Employees Local 390, informed the Board that members of his union
have endorsed the proposals as presented in the letter to the
Board including the fringe benefits outlined in the letter, and
it was his understanding that all of these matters had previously
been discussed with members of the Board by the Board s Meet and
Confer representatives and though not binding, had been given policy
approval by those members of the Board. Mr. Varacalli stated that
he would be unable to attend the adjourned regular meeting of the
Board on Thursday evening. Mr. Milton Anninos also appeared be-
fore the Board representing the Oakland Municipal Civil Service
Employees Association and informed the Board that the association
he represents wished to discuss with the Board the salary increase
for clerical positions and felt that this increase should be some-
thing above the 6 1/4 percent presently being proposed by the Meet
and Confer representatives as larger increases were being granted
to certain categories of Port employees. President Walters in-
formed Mr. Anninos that the entire matter of employees salaries
would be discussed at the adjourned-meeting on Thursday evening and
asked Mr. Anninos and his associates to return at that time.

S. Army Corps of Engineers procedures requires that a permit be received from the Corps before undertaking any dredging, filling, or construction in navigable waters including that behind the established harbor lines and that the time required to obtain this permit does not allow the Port to proceed with its original time schedule. It was recommended that the. Port proceed with the application to the Corps of Engineers for a permit for the total project to develop a longer wharf running past the oil pier at Outer Harbor rather than just this first stage of the total project, and that prospective bidders for the project, which is now out to bid, be notified that the project is now post- poned.

-6- the Port Attorney has declared the apparent low bid of Manson-
General to be in improper form and the Engineering Department con- siders the second bid of Healy Tibbitts Construction Company in the amount of $2,310,713 to be excessive. The Board was also informed that the project cannot proceed until a permit from the
State Lands Commission is secured, which permit is anticipated to be approved on June 25, 1970. It was recommended that the Board re- ject all bids and authorize the Executive Director to procure a contractor in the open market to construct the project in confoinance with the existing plans and specifications for an amount not to ex- ceed the low bid and that this contract will not be executed until after receipt of the State Lands Commission permit. The recommenda- tion was approved on passage of Resolution No. 19848.
Mr. John H. Schaefer, General Manager, Umpqua River
Navigation Company, appeared before the Board requesting that some action be taken by the Board to free progressive payment money under the 7th Street Terminal dike and fill project. Following discussion on the matter, Resolution No 19861 was passed further extending time for performance of contract with Bohemi a Lumber
Company, Inc., which further extended time for performance of contract to July 1, 1970, with the stipulation that said extension of time is granted without prejudice and the Board expressly re- serves the right to withhold from said contractor upon said final payment any cost incurred by the Port for additional engineering and inspection cost. It was explained to the Board that such action by the Board would free monies now owed to the contractor on progres- sive payments. Claim for damaged cargo asserted by Marine Terminals
Corporation, was the subject of a memo to the Board from the

1970. It was recommended that the Port Attorney be authorized to attend and participate in this hearing which recommendation was approved by passage of Resolution No. 19850.

It was explained that on-site parking will be available for
600 employees, which is the maximum number anticipated on the property. Mr. McCarty, Director of Public Works, appeared on be- half of the City of Oakland and confirmed his understanding that all parking will be on site and that no parking will be permitted now or in the future on Edgewater Drive or other streets which might be developed in the area.

Mr. Paul Varacalli, Executive Secretary of United Public
Employees Union Local 390 appeared before the Board with other
-18- members of his union in connection with the calendared adoption of an ordinance setting Port employees salaries. He indicated his concern over the Board s decision made at its adjourned regular meeting of Thursday June 18, 1970, limiting the increase for the
Airport Servicemen-and Chief Airport Servicemen to eight percent as the memorandum of understanding reached between his union and the Board s Meet and Confer representatives recommended that the increase would be comparable rates of the Oakland Fire Department, which has now received a salary increase of 10 percent. President
Walters informed Mr. Varacalli and those present that past prece- dents are not to beanticipated as being carried forward in the future. Speaking on the eight percent for the servicemen, he stated that it was the position of the Board that the limit was set at eight percent with no further increase regardless of the increase granted for the Police Department, which would result in a further increase to the. Fire Department. Commissioner Gainor stated that he felt the servicemen should be granted the 10 percent increase based on the criteria used in the past that the jobs are comparable with certain categories of the Oakland City Fire Department to which
Commissioner Tripp agreed. Commissioner Berkley stated that his approval of such an increase to the servicemen would not necessarily indicate the continued following of these past precedents. President
Walters then stated that his position was opposed to any flat 10 percent increase which is against national policy. Following fur- thur discussion on the matter a motion was made by Commissioner
Gainor, seconded by-Commissioner Tripp, and passed by the following vote, directing the Port Attorney to revise the ordinance presently before the Board for consideration to grant the Chief Airport
Servicemen and the Airport Servicemen and the Supervisor of Airport
Services a 10 percent increase rather than the 8 percent previously approved. Ayes: Commissioners Berkley, Gainor, Mortensen and
Tripp - 4; Noes: President Walters - 1. An ordinance as amended was then passed to print amending certain sections of Port Ordinance
-19- No. 867 changing one salary schedule, assigning positions to schedules andproviding for additional compensation for em- ployees of the Port Department.
Increase in Hospital Insurance for Employees Over the-Age of 65, was the subject of a memo to the Board from the Director of
Fiscal Affairs informing the Board that notice had been received from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare that Medicare premiums for this class of employee would be increased from $4.00 to $5.30 per-month effective July 1, 1970. Approval was recommended.

nance as published in the Oakland Tribune on June 30, 1970 in-
correctly indicated only "1" position of Chief of Field Party.

Ordinance No. 1648, as passed to print on June 24, 1970, that

of Port Ordinance No. 867 rather than 1, by final adoption of

Dr. Rongved stated that he understood and that his firm had taken on the project thoroughly believing that they could produce the required results.
Motion was made by Commissioner Tripp, seconded and passed unanimously, authorizing Strobel Rongved to proceed with the final design for the hangar based on current terms contained in the letter agreement and the preliminary plans for the hangar approved by the Board at its meeting of July 1, 1970, pending the finalization of the formal contract.
Commissioner Mortensen asked if the Port had received a letter from the City Hall regarding staff salaries and was informed that no such letter had yet been received.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF PORT COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
CITY OF OAKLAND
The meeting was held on Wednesday, July 15, 1970 at the hour of 2:00 p.m. in the office of the Board, Room 376, 66 Jack London
Square, President Walters presiding, due written notice having been given members of the Board.
Commissioners present: Commissioners Bilotti, Mortensen,
Soda, Tripp and President Walters - 5
Commissioners absent: Commissioners Berkley and Gainor - 2
Also present were the Executive Director; Deputy Executive
Director; Port Attorney; Deputy Port Attorney John E. Nolan; Chief
Engineer; Traffic Manager and Manager Marine Terminal Department;
Manager, Properties Department; Assistant Manager, Properties Depart- ment; Director of Aviation; Supervising Airport Traffic Representative; and Secretary of the Board.
Visitors attending the meeting included Mr. Lou Wilson,
General Manager, Edgewater Hyatt House; Alvin H. Bacharach and Clyde R.
Gibb, principals in Alice Street Marina Apartments; John Ryan, Zone
Manager and George Zepp, Jr., District Manager, representing Avis
Rent-A-Car; Robert J. Hamilton, Senior Vice President, Arthur R.

Minutes of the regular meeting of the Board held on July 1,
1970 and the adjourned regular meeting of the Board held on July 8, 1970 were approved as written-and ordered filed.
Messrs. Clyde R. Gibb and Alvin Bacharach, representing the principals for the Alice Street Marina Apartment Complex, appeared before the Board in connection with the action taken by the Board on
June 3, 1970 at which time Resolution No. 19842 was passed finding
and determining Alvin H. Bacharach et al. to be in default under lease
with Port of Oakland and declaring forfeiture of said lease. Mr. Gibb
stated that he felt that it was unfair to the lessees for the Board to
have taken such action without an appearance before the Beard by the
lessees and asked that the lease be reinstated and additional time be
given for arrangements for financing the project. The Port Attorney
informed the Board that the resolution of the Board terminating the
lease has already been recorded and the lease is no longer in existence,
therefore- cannot be reinstated and the only recourse is a completely
new arrangement: The Deputy Executive Director reviewed for the Board
the notices given to the lessees and the exchange of correspondence.
It was the consensus of the Board that if the former lessees are still
interested in the project, they should meet with the Port s Properties
Department to discuss entering into a new lease for development of the
property but understanding that circumstances have changed since nego-
tiations for the former lease were consummated and merely up dating the
former lease would not be acceptable to the Board.
At the hour of 2:15 p.m. President Walters called for the
public hearing on the appeal of the Edgewater Hyatt Corporation on
the denial by the Executive Director for a variance as to the loca-
tion of a free-standing sign for the Edgewater Hyatt House on
Hegenberger Road under variance procedures of the Port of Oakland s
Industrial Park standards and restrictions. A report was made to the
Board on behalf of the Executive Director informing the Board that
the request of the Edgewater Hyatt Corporation was granted for a
variance for the proposed sign with respect to the prohibition against
free-standing signs but a variance with respect to placing the free-
standing sign in front of the setback lines was denied. Mt Lou
Wilson, General Manager, Edgewater Hyatt House, appeared before the
Board requesting that the Board approve the location of the free-
standing sign within an island area in front of the setback lines.
-2- Following discussion on the matter, a vote was called on the resolu- tion to grant variance request by Edgewater Hyatt Corporation, which resolution failed to pass by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners
Tripp and Mortensen - 2; Noes: Commissioners Bilotti, Soda and
President Walters - 3; Absent: Commissioners Berkley and Gainor - 2.

$2,015.12. In connection with this item members of the Board agreed that the Port was entitled to full credit for this amount of overbilling. (C) The original contract was based on a salary then paid to Mr. Hodgson as principal engineer.

$1,088.97. The Board was informed that Dames Moore have
offered to credit the Port s account for one half of this amount
or $544.49. It was Commissioner Gainor s recommendation, agreed
to by other members of the Board, that the Port was entitled to

Engineer was directed to inform Dames Moore regarding the
recommendation of the Board as to settlement of disputed items

Inc. required an office structure which has been completed and warehouse facilities which were to be added at a later date. The

property and that a letter was written to Mr. Stamaton reminding
him that the extension of time for completion of improvements is

by the Port and the basis for the rates previously recommended to
the Board for approval, which rates would then have to be approved
by the California Public Utilities Commission before they can

ing the receptacles and breaker assemblies of which $3,650 of the
total cost is for labor, and it was recommended that the installa-
tion be accomplished through use of Port forces. The use of Port personnel for the installation of this equipment was discussed and the Board determined that it would approve purchase, without
competitive bidding, for the materials required amounting to approximately $9,850 and that the work should be accomplished by outside electrical contractor following the solicitation of informal bids for the work. if the cost of the labor does not exceed the bid limit of $5,000.
