will enable the Port to meet a number of natural resource maintenance obligations and also provide
valuable work for young adults in the area in the field of environmental management.

Mr. Grotheer stated that the 42 escalators for renewal/replacement date from the early 1970"s and
have reached the end or beyond of their useful life. He noted that the 2 new escalators proposed
would be located in the south satellite and would supplement existing escalators, would address
future growth, and would also improve redundancy and reliability.
Mr. Grotheer noted that the reason for seeking to apply a Project Labor Agreement is primarily to
prevent work stoppage by having no-strike provisions, and also to provide safety benefits. He also
said that today"s authorization request was being narrowed from what was stated in the
Commission memo, to instead be "advertise a request for qualifications, issue a request for
proposals, and apply a Project Labor Agreement," and noted that staff would return to Commission
at a future date to request approval to execute the design-build contract and to proceed with
construction.
Mr. Nessel spoke about reasons that the design-build method would be beneficial to this project,
and noted that this approach would promote innovation and competition, and would also allow for
shorter project duration, keeping disruption to the Airport at a minimum. 
Staff responded in the affirmative to Commissioner Albro"s request that they provide to
Commissioners a breakdown of soft costs related to this project. 
Mr. Grotheer clarified that staff will return to the Commission in the near future with a revised dollar
amount which will need to be authorized. 
Following further discussion of the use of Project Labor Agreements, Commissioner Albro
suggested that it may be beneficial to have a briefing on the use of PLA"s and when they are
needed as well as when they are not. 
Following Commission discussion, a revision to the request was proposed, and the revised request
was voted on as follows (added language in italics): 
Authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to advertise a request for qualifications and apply a
Project Labor Agreement to the Project, should it be authorized. 
Motion for approval of Item 6b, as revised - Tarleton

Mr. Griffin noted that the proposed planning work at Terminal 91 being presented is a response to
a few factors, including continuing discussions with existing maritime industrial tenants at Terminal
91 about their operations and needs; identifying the need to ensure the Terminal"s operations
continue to function as smoothly as possible, particularly with the addition of the new Cruise
Terminal. In addition, he noted, it is hoped that Terminal 91 can be better positioned to attract new
industrial tenants as the overall economy begins to rebound.

Mr. Hanson noted that the Terminal 91 facility is over one hundred years old and was formerly
used by the U.S. Navy. He also reviewed a history of the uses of Terminal 91 and surrounding
areas, including current uses. He pointed out that there are currently vast quantities of underutilized
space in the area just north of Pier 91, and noted that this is what the current proposed plan
is related to.
Mr. Hanson reviewed goals of the proposed plan, and also noted that as part of developing the
site, there will be a requirement for significant new infrastructure, mainly for utilities.
Mr. Hanson noted that the working assumptions of the plan are driven by Century Agenda
Guidelines, and commented on the importance of the following: 
Attracting expansion of "core mission" customers 
Attracting broader types of economic activity that comply with existing industrial zoning 
Incorporating revenue streams expected from full, fair market value leases into the
financial analysis in order to test the financial sustainability of total site development. 
Exploring models of sustainable growth 
Mr. Hanson addressed the anticipated schedule for the proposed plan, stating that there was a
timeline of approximately fifteen months, and also noted that there will be plenty of opportunity for
public comment and involvement. He also clarified that the intent is to remain with the current
industrial zoning and does not foresee any change to that. 
Commissioners Holland and Tarleton suggested that it might be prudent to begin having
discussions with the City now about the basic working assumptions that will be part of the
discussion of the development of a site plan. 
Commissioner Bryant stated that he hoped by the end of this year, the Commission will be able to
provide to staff direction on how they want the Real Estate portfolio to be managed for the next
decade or two. He also suggested that staff coordinate carefully with the City going forward.
Commissioner Albro commented on the importance of maintaining a focus on transportation issues
as related to this site. 
8.   NEW BUSINESS 
(01:45:01) Public comment was received from the following: 
Fred Felleman, Friends of the Earth. Mr. Felleman commented on a Capital Improvement
Project regarding an upgrade to lighting at Terminal 46, wondering whether the Port has
looked at making sure that when lighting upgrades are done, it is as fish-friendly as
possible. He also commented on the importance of encouraging less driving, as impacts
related to the Viaduct replacement begin to take place, as well as other Port-related "green"
issues
