re sitting in my seat right.

61
00:01:59,514 --> 00:02:00,682
I'

00:02:00,682 --> 00:02:01,116

there, right?

69
00:02:11,726 --> 00:02:11,960
No, somebody might have moved it

70
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,960
for you.

71
00:02:15,897 --> 00:02:16,798
There is, fantastic.

72

s cup -- helping keep the

74
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:20,433
seat warm for me.

75
00:02:21,804 --> 00:02:23,872
Just wanted to come by and speak

76
00:02:23,872 --> 00:02:24,673
with our esteemed commission,

77
00:02:24,673 --> 00:02:25,600
obviously I have known many of

78
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,600
you for years.

79
00:02:29,778 --> 00:02:31,179
And I know that we are missing

80
00:02:31,179 --> 00:02:31,980
two commissioners, but I go back

81
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:33,882
with those two gentlemen for

82
00:02:33,882 --> 00:02:35,882
many years.

83
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:36,484
I was chief of staff when he was

84
00:02:36,484 --> 00:02:38,484
a councilmember.

85
00:02:38,787 --> 00:02:39,221
I know -- have known many of you

86
00:02:39,221 --> 00:02:41,122
for many many years.

87
00:02:41,122 --> 00:02:41,456
But our relationship is

88
00:02:41,456 --> 00:02:43,124
different now.

89
00:02:43,124 --> 00:02:44,126
Since I'

90
00:02:44,126 --> 00:02:45,794
m the mayor of the

91
00:02:45,794 --> 00:02:47,562
incredible city of long beach.

92
00:02:47,562 --> 00:02:49,564
And I have the responsibility to

93
00:02:49,564 --> 00:02:51,533
think about the future of our

94
00:02:51,533 --> 00:02:55,704
city, to make sure that we are

95
00:02:55,704 --> 00:02:57,739
being mindful of our leadership,

96
00:02:57,739 --> 00:02:57,973
are responsible de, and our

97
00:02:57,973 --> 00:02:59,973
future.

98
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:02,611
And I wanted to come down

99
00:03:02,611 --> 00:03:02,878
tomorrow, is mark'

100
00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:04,878
s the hundred

101
00:03:05,781 --> 00:03:07,983
days since I delivered are 100

102
00:03:07,983 --> 00:03:08,650
day plan, our opportunity to

103
00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:08,917
beach the agenda at the state of

104
00:03:08,917 --> 00:03:10,917
the city.

105
00:03:14,289 --> 00:03:16,958
In that plan I talked about our

106
00:03:16,958 --> 00:03:17,259
leadership and responsibilities

107
00:03:17,259 --> 00:03:19,259
to the poor.

108
00:03:19,828 --> 00:03:20,430
We have the greenport, I don'

109
00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:22,430
t

110
00:03:22,164 --> 00:03:24,320
care what others will say, the

111
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,333
second largest port in america.

112
00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:25,801
We have a tremendous

113
00:03:25,801 --> 00:03:27,801
responsibility to our

114
00:03:28,270 --> 00:03:29,805
communities, to our leadership

115
00:03:29,805 --> 00:03:30,140
for the region, and to cleanour

116
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:32,140
air.

117
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,543
That is what I wanted to come

118
00:03:34,543 --> 00:03:36,440
and talk to you briefly about

119
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,450
today.

120
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:40,282
I submitted a letter to the

121
00:03:40,282 --> 00:03:41,249
board that really talks about

122
00:03:41,249 --> 00:03:43,686
some of our expectations and our

123
00:03:43,686 --> 00:03:44,853
hopes for the harbor commission

124
00:03:44,853 --> 00:03:45,787
and our port of long beach in

125
00:03:45,787 --> 00:03:47,787
the future.

126
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:49,792
And I think, based on our

127
00:03:49,792 --> 00:03:51,360
conversations, with your team

128
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,694
and many of you, you are with

129
00:03:52,694 --> 00:03:53,795
much of this.

130
00:03:53,795 --> 00:03:57,395
It comes down to three things.

131
00:03:59,801 --> 00:04:00,969
Our ability to compete, our

132
00:04:00,969 --> 00:04:02,969
competitiveness, veterans one.

133
00:04:05,707 --> 00:04:05,974
Clean air, and our commitment to

134
00:04:05,974 --> 00:04:07,974
community.

135
00:04:10,712 --> 00:04:11,380
Those three values are

136
00:04:11,380 --> 00:04:14,380
commitments that long beach has,

137
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:15,250
and I hope to see real action on

138
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:16,351
from our board of harbor

139
00:04:16,351 --> 00:04:18,351
commissioners.

140
00:04:18,553 --> 00:04:21,553
As it relates to the

141
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:26,261
conversation, we need to be

142
00:04:26,261 --> 00:04:29,861
mindful of growth at our port.

143
00:04:31,933 --> 00:04:33,135
We have an opportunity over the

144
00:04:33,135 --> 00:04:33,735
next decade with the bipartisan

145
00:04:33,735 --> 00:04:36,135
infrastructure asked to really

146
00:04:39,808 --> 00:04:43,408
invest in the structure that --

147
00:04:43,612 --> 00:04:45,281
infrastructure that is greener

148
00:04:45,281 --> 00:04:45,502
and cleaner.

149
00:04:45,502 --> 00:04:46,348
Let'

150
00:04:46,348 --> 00:04:46,915
s work together to

151
00:04:46,915 --> 00:04:49,915
prioritize our port of long

152
00:04:51,887 --> 00:04:53,555
beach, I am meeting with the

153
00:04:53,555 --> 00:04:54,156
administration regularly to

154
00:04:54,156 --> 00:04:56,892
advocate for resources, we are

155
00:04:56,892 --> 00:04:57,793
proud of the 10 year labor

156
00:04:57,793 --> 00:04:59,962
agreement that we have come to

157
00:04:59,962 --> 00:05:01,663
with our building trades which

158
00:05:01,663 --> 00:05:04,233
allows us to prioritize good

159
00:05:04,233 --> 00:05:05,134
jobs and labor peace that allows

160
00:05:05,134 --> 00:05:05,358
us to maintain our competitive

161
00:05:05,358 --> 00:05:07,358
edge.

162
00:05:08,203 --> 00:05:10,806
We also know that how well the

163
00:05:10,806 --> 00:05:11,540
port does has a direct

164
00:05:11,540 --> 00:05:11,773
relationship to the city'

165
00:05:11,773 --> 00:05:11,997
s

166
00:05:11,997 --> 00:05:12,541
bottom line.

167
00:05:12,541 --> 00:05:14,541
The city'

168
00:05:15,944 --> 00:05:17,446
s revenue will be

169
00:05:17,446 --> 00:05:17,679
changing over te next decade or

170
00:05:17,679 --> 00:05:19,679
so, you'

171
00:05:20,349 --> 00:05:20,949
ll see reductions as

172
00:05:20,949 --> 00:05:21,250
relates to oil produced in our

173
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:23,185
communities.

174
00:05:23,185 --> 00:05:23,752
Let'

175
00:05:23,752 --> 00:05:25,854
s see that as an opportunity

176
00:05:25,854 --> 00:05:28,254
to grow our revenue.

177
00:05:29,791 --> 00:05:32,427
When we invest in things like

178
00:05:32,427 --> 00:05:33,695
charging stations at the port

179
00:05:33,695 --> 00:05:35,130
and allow shorts to plug-in, not

180
00:05:35,130 --> 00:05:37,799
only does it clean our air, but

181
00:05:37,799 --> 00:05:38,133
when we plug in, we charge

182
00:05:38,133 --> 00:05:40,133
utilities tax.

183
00:05:40,502 --> 00:05:40,969
We make money when people

184
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:43,969
plug-in in as a city.

185
00:05:44,406 --> 00:05:45,700
We are able to hire

186
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:45,407
firefighters, police officers,

187
00:05:45,407 --> 00:05:47,407
build more parks.

188
00:05:48,243 --> 00:05:51,843
It is in our strategic interests

189
00:05:52,147 --> 00:05:53,282
that we continue to invest in

190
00:05:53,282 --> 00:05:54,490
electrification and cleaning

191
00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:55,170
infrastructure in our port is

192
00:05:55,170 --> 00:05:58,353
tied to our ability to complete.

193
00:05:58,353 --> 00:05:59,187
The second part on clean air, we

194
00:05:59,187 --> 00:05:59,424
talked a lot about this in our

195
00:05:59,424 --> 00:06:01,424
letter.

196
00:06:01,490 --> 00:06:01,790
We will have to continue to show

197
00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:03,790
leadership.

198
00:06:05,194 --> 00:06:07,830
We have a great record in our

199
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:08,330
port and it has been what have

200
00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:11,330
you done for us lately.

201
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:12,267
the goal will continue to move

202
00:06:12,267 --> 00:06:13,803
forward.

203
00:06:13,803 --> 00:06:17,272
Some things we talked about our

204
00:06:17,272 --> 00:06:17,840
commitments to 100 publicly

205
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:18,273
available charging stations

206
00:06:18,273 --> 00:06:19,675
within three years.

207
00:06:19,675 --> 00:06:19,941
This is a call we can achieve

208
00:06:19,941 --> 00:06:21,941
together.

209
00:06:23,212 --> 00:06:26,181
Her projects in the works now,

210
00:06:26,181 --> 00:06:29,181
there have been strides made.

211
00:06:30,385 --> 00:06:30,886
There are chucks start --

212
00:06:30,886 --> 00:06:31,820
struggling to make this

213
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:34,220
transition in our community.

214
00:06:35,757 --> 00:06:36,225
Our local truck drivers need a

215
00:06:36,225 --> 00:06:38,561
lot of support in this

216
00:06:38,561 --> 00:06:40,561
transition, you'

217
00:06:40,896 --> 00:06:43,866
ve done a lot, I

218
00:06:43,866 --> 00:06:45,801
have paid attention, I served as

219
00:06:45,801 --> 00:06:48,360
the chair of the technology and

220
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:48,303
marine affairs committee --

221
00:06:48,303 --> 00:06:48,704
committee.

222
00:06:48,704 --> 00:06:49,805
I'

223
00:06:49,805 --> 00:06:50,105
ve been on the council for

224
00:06:50,105 --> 00:06:51,673
eight years.

225
00:06:51,673 --> 00:06:54,910
I know what the challenges are.

226
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:57,545
But we need to make sure we have

227
00:06:57,545 --> 00:06:59,348
local funds available and

228
00:06:59,348 --> 00:07:02,948
establish a local fund for local

229
00:07:03,218 --> 00:07:06,218
smaller haulers to adopt cleaner

230
00:07:06,321 --> 00:07:06,855
technologies and zero emission

231
00:07:06,855 --> 00:07:09,855
tracks as they come along.

232
00:07:12,761 --> 00:07:15,931
And the third thing is, I

233
00:07:15,931 --> 00:07:17,332
applaud you for taking a step to

234
00:07:17,332 --> 00:07:19,340
create a clean air rate for

235
00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:19,868
sharks, thank you for that, but

236
00:07:19,868 --> 00:07:21,970
when we established if there was

237
00:07:21,970 --> 00:07:23,439
a conversation about you sure

238
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,342
that we take steps to make sure

239
00:07:26,342 --> 00:07:27,142
that the rate is set where we

240
00:07:27,142 --> 00:07:29,778
can make enough money to

241
00:07:29,778 --> 00:07:31,790
actually sort of spur the

242
00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:33,479
transition in zero emissions.

243
00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:35,151
So thank you for the $10 but we

244
00:07:35,151 --> 00:07:37,786
have to get the $20 this year.

245
00:07:37,786 --> 00:07:38,200
I also note the competitive

246
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,200
nature.

247
00:07:41,791 --> 00:07:43,726
We just talked about

248
00:07:43,726 --> 00:07:44,526
competition, we understand our

249
00:07:44,526 --> 00:07:44,827
competition with other court

250
00:07:44,827 --> 00:07:46,827
dashboards.

251
00:07:47,563 --> 00:07:49,798
we will help you with that.

252
00:07:49,798 --> 00:07:51,701
We have two mayors into big

253
00:07:51,701 --> 00:07:52,935
cities and we look forward to

254
00:07:52,935 --> 00:07:53,803
working with a shared vision to

255
00:07:53,803 --> 00:07:54,103
make sure we don'

256
00:07:54,103 --> 00:07:56,103
t see ourselves

257
00:07:56,905 --> 00:07:58,474
as competition but collaborative

258
00:07:58,474 --> 00:07:59,410
partners to make sure that our

259
00:07:59,410 --> 00:07:59,508
region thrives and I will

260
00:07:59,508 --> 00:08:01,908
continue to have those

261
00:08:01,944 --> 00:08:03,946
conversations and keep you

262
00:08:03,946 --> 00:08:05,781
updated on how those

263
00:08:05,781 --> 00:08:06,548
conversations go.

264
00:08:06,548 --> 00:08:10,148
And the last see is community.

265
00:08:10,919 --> 00:08:12,421
We have the responsibility to

266
00:08:12,421 --> 00:08:13,555
make sure that we leave our

267
00:08:13,555 --> 00:08:14,560
communities in a better position

268
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,560
than when we found them.

269
00:08:18,527 --> 00:08:19,940
That means making a promise to

270
00:08:19,940 --> 00:08:22,694
the west side of long beach.

271
00:08:22,998 --> 00:08:23,632
This is -- we are already to end

272
00:08:23,632 --> 00:08:27,232
his partners in many many ways.

273
00:08:27,703 --> 00:08:28,304
But we can think bigger and more

274
00:08:28,304 --> 00:08:28,871
collaboratively with the state

275
00:08:28,871 --> 00:08:31,271
and the federal government.

276
00:08:31,507 --> 00:08:35,277
We have a new assembly member in

277
00:08:35,277 --> 00:08:35,502
the state, josh lowenthal,

278
00:08:35,502 --> 00:08:36,450
right.

279
00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:39,140
He represents the west side.

280
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:41,784
Our federal government, we have

281
00:08:41,784 --> 00:08:43,520
on the west side of town, you

282
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520
have robert garcia and paragon.

283
00:08:48,691 --> 00:08:50,893
We will be working with these

284
00:08:50,893 --> 00:08:51,661
agencies empties into and see --

285
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:54,290
entities to prioritize clean air

286
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:54,997
and infrastructure and implement

287
00:08:54,997 --> 00:08:57,700
the westside livability plan and

288
00:08:57,700 --> 00:08:59,302
taking a look at the freeway.

289
00:08:59,302 --> 00:09:02,902
All of those projects will make

290
00:09:03,272 --> 00:09:03,839
a meaningful different --

291
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:05,274
difference for people on the

292
00:09:05,274 --> 00:09:06,408
west part of town.

293
00:09:06,408 --> 00:09:08,430
What we should do is work

294
00:09:08,430 --> 00:09:09,612
together on one collaborative

295
00:09:09,612 --> 00:09:12,120
strategy, one westside promise

296
00:09:12,140 --> 00:09:12,648
for all levels of government,

297
00:09:12,648 --> 00:09:15,648
ports, city, federal and state.

298
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,790
As we think in the next 10 years

299
00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:23,626
with the inflation reduction

300
00:09:23,626 --> 00:09:25,794
act, we should have one

301
00:09:25,794 --> 00:09:27,960
coordinated strategy to make a

302
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,197
meaningful difference in the

303
00:09:28,197 --> 00:09:29,799
lives of those people.

304
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:31,433
We will continue to have

305
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:32,535
conversations with you and

306
00:09:32,535 --> 00:09:35,535
conversations as we appoint the

307
00:09:37,673 --> 00:09:38,307
new committee -- mitigation

308
00:09:38,307 --> 00:09:41,307
committee, we will be developing

309
00:09:41,944 --> 00:09:43,345
new commission -- delivering new

310
00:09:43,345 --> 00:09:46,345
commissioners and a matter of

311
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:49,485
weeks, and we want to look over

312
00:09:49,485 --> 00:09:49,985
our legacy and make the real

313
00:09:49,985 --> 00:09:50,619
commitment to leave our

314
00:09:50,619 --> 00:09:52,788
communities in better positions

315
00:09:52,788 --> 00:09:53,289
than they were when they found

316
00:09:53,289 --> 00:09:54,891
them.

317
00:09:54,891 --> 00:09:56,358
I took up a lot more time than

318
00:09:56,358 --> 00:09:57,626
what the public comment -- ,

319
00:09:57,626 --> 00:09:58,227
nobody takes but I thought it

320
00:09:58,227 --> 00:10:01,960
was important to come down to

321
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:01,931
you in the first 100 days and

322
00:10:01,931 --> 00:10:02,598
address you directly.

323
00:10:02,598 --> 00:10:02,808
Thank you so much for hearing me

324
00:10:02,808 --> 00:10:03,320
out.

325
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Take care.

326
00:10:09,772 --> 00:10:12,420
>> thank you MR. Mayor.

327
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:12,575
MS. Espinoza, do we have members

328
00:10:12,575 --> 00:10:13,776
of the public who wish to

329
00:10:13,776 --> 00:10:16,176
address the board unmonitored

330
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,949
items -- on non-agenda items?

331
00:10:19,949 --> 00:10:21,784
>> we do.

332
00:10:21,784 --> 00:10:23,784
MISS Emily quest.

333
00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:26,530
>> thank you.

334
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,560
>> high.

335
00:10:29,125 --> 00:10:29,792
I'

336
00:10:29,792 --> 00:10:32,792
ll take my mask off.

337
00:10:33,562 --> 00:10:34,630
I have my three minute counter I

338
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:37,630
can tell when to stop.

339
00:10:41,303 --> 00:10:43,973
My name is emily and in 19 501I

340
00:10:43,973 --> 00:10:45,107
was born in memorial hospital --

341
00:10:45,107 --> 00:10:47,107
in 1971.

342
00:10:48,778 --> 00:10:50,579
I lived in upper wrigley with my

343
00:10:50,579 --> 00:10:51,714
grandparents and at that point

344
00:10:51,714 --> 00:10:54,714
the sandy mercer writing staples

345
00:10:56,485 --> 00:10:59,485
had been dismantled -- writing

346
00:11:00,489 --> 00:11:00,708
staples had been dismantled.

347
00:11:00,708 --> 00:11:01,156
That'

348
00:11:01,156 --> 00:11:01,791
s where we learned to do

349
00:11:01,791 --> 00:11:03,791
writing.

350
00:11:04,294 --> 00:11:05,161
During my childhood operators

351
00:11:05,161 --> 00:11:09,361
took all that land and turned it

352
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,100
into crude oil breeding sites.

353
00:11:16,572 --> 00:11:17,473
I was born with my mother there

354
00:11:17,473 --> 00:11:18,674
during that.

355
00:11:18,674 --> 00:11:18,974
Of time and I have a leaky valve

356
00:11:18,974 --> 00:11:20,974
in my heart.

357
00:11:21,544 --> 00:11:23,544
And I'

358
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:27,646
m sorry to dump this on

359
00:11:28,284 --> 00:11:28,918
you, you help my friend get a

360
00:11:28,918 --> 00:11:29,318
bicycle and bonnie, you used to

361
00:11:29,318 --> 00:11:29,785
come to margaret'

362
00:11:29,785 --> 00:11:31,785
s house for

363
00:11:32,188 --> 00:11:32,822
dinner, and I was the young

364
00:11:32,822 --> 00:11:33,310
woman staying upstairs with the

365
00:11:33,310 --> 00:11:34,991
baby.

366
00:11:34,991 --> 00:11:35,291
So, I'

367
00:11:35,291 --> 00:11:37,193
m happy that it'

368
00:11:37,193 --> 00:11:39,193
s you that

369
00:11:41,797 --> 00:11:42,800
is the face of the people that I

370
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,800
know.

371
00:11:45,201 --> 00:11:45,901
So might leaky valve causes

372
00:11:45,901 --> 00:11:48,237
water to fill up in my lungs.

373
00:11:48,237 --> 00:11:50,637
I get more fluid.

374
00:11:53,943 --> 00:11:54,443
Also, now I am living in

375
00:11:54,443 --> 00:11:56,843
westside long beach near

376
00:11:57,460 --> 00:11:59,715
garfield elementary, and when I

377
00:11:59,715 --> 00:12:01,551
sit on my front porch and have a

378
00:12:01,551 --> 00:12:05,421
nice warm cup of coffee I can

379
00:12:05,421 --> 00:12:06,889
watch the sun come up over the

380
00:12:06,889 --> 00:12:08,324
710 wall and see the tops of the

381
00:12:08,324 --> 00:12:10,724
diesel chucks going by.

382
00:12:12,895 --> 00:12:13,529
And I said I would talk to my

383
00:12:13,529 --> 00:12:14,597
neighbors and I make real

384
00:12:14,597 --> 00:12:16,997
friends in real life.

385
00:12:18,501 --> 00:12:21,370
And we all go through this type

386
00:12:21,370 --> 00:12:23,606
of issue, my one neighbor just

387
00:12:23,606 --> 00:12:26,606
died from copd, everybody that

388
00:12:26,909 --> 00:12:27,176

there because everyone that came

395
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,210
from the south from her family,

396
00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:39,822
she was the child of 11, they

397
00:12:39,822 --> 00:12:44,220
all passed away at living in the

398
00:12:45,528 --> 00:12:47,928
westside from cancer, childhood

399
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,900
leukemia, if I could explain to

the westside, you want to do all

403
00:12:58,774 --> 00:13:01,244
these things and promises and

404
00:13:01,244 --> 00:13:01,544
westside livability promises,

405
00:13:01,544 --> 00:13:01,911
and we don'

406
00:13:01,911 --> 00:13:03,446
t want any of that.

407
00:13:03,446 --> 00:13:05,114
We want no diabetes.

408
00:13:05,114 --> 00:13:07,514
We want to breathe.

409
00:13:07,583 --> 00:13:08,584
We don'

410
00:13:08,584 --> 00:13:08,885
t want to walk in

411
00:13:08,885 --> 00:13:09,118
wheelchairs.

412
00:13:09,118 --> 00:13:09,785
We don'

413
00:13:09,785 --> 00:13:10,953
t want to cry.

414
00:13:10,953 --> 00:13:12,953
I'

415
00:13:14,791 --> 00:13:17,193
m so sad that my life as an

416
00:13:17,193 --> 00:13:17,593
artist, I have my mfa from cal

00:13:17,593 --> 00:13:19,593
state long beach.

418
00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:22,766
, that my life has been spent

419
00:13:22,766 --> 00:13:23,266
fighting the things that some

420
00:13:23,266 --> 00:13:23,533
people think are really

421
00:13:23,533 --> 00:13:25,533
important.

422
00:13:28,971 --> 00:13:29,806
I had never heard about the

423
00:13:29,806 --> 00:13:31,474
westside livability plan sits

424
00:13:31,474 --> 00:13:34,777
right now, and is this what I

425
00:13:34,777 --> 00:13:35,845
have to do, thank you, I want

426
00:13:35,845 --> 00:13:36,179
talk of her like the mayor, I

427
00:13:36,179 --> 00:13:38,179
know my time.

428
00:13:40,830 --> 00:13:42,485
>> thank you so very much.

429
00:13:42,485 --> 00:13:42,752
Please share your goals of zero

430
00:13:42,752 --> 00:13:43,190
emissions.

431
00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:45,190
Thank you.

432
00:13:45,788 --> 00:13:47,788
>> next speaker.

433
00:13:52,662 --> 00:13:52,979
-- we share your goals of zero

434
00:13:52,979 --> 00:13:53,218
emissions.

435
00:13:53,218 --> 00:13:53,529
Thank you.

436
00:13:53,529 --> 00:13:55,529
Next speaker.

437
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,374
>> height, good afternoon

438
00:14:04,374 --> 00:14:04,613
commissioners, happy earth

439
00:14:04,613 --> 00:14:06,613
month.

440
00:14:08,811 --> 00:14:09,312
I am a national staffer with the

441
00:14:09,312 --> 00:14:11,312
my generation campaign.

442
00:14:12,448 --> 00:14:13,150
And today we are here amplified

443
00:14:13,150 --> 00:14:16,150
the need for more committee

444
00:14:17,787 --> 00:14:18,354
engagement and a robust

445
00:14:18,354 --> 00:14:18,565
transformational port master

446
00:14:18,565 --> 00:14:20,565
plan.

447
00:14:21,824 --> 00:14:23,893
I just want to shout out people

448
00:14:23,893 --> 00:14:24,527
like emily, many of us took time

449
00:14:24,527 --> 00:14:26,462
to be here in the middle of the

450
00:14:26,462 --> 00:14:29,799
day to testify and I hope that

451
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:30,600
we can influence staff and all

452
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,671
of you to take in our concerns.

453
00:14:34,671 --> 00:14:36,390
We do work with staff here and

454
00:14:36,390 --> 00:14:38,241
we appreciate all of the

455
00:14:38,241 --> 00:14:41,241
collaboration so far on grants

456
00:14:41,311 --> 00:14:42,278
and all of the different

457
00:14:42,278 --> 00:14:42,845
opportunities that mayor

458
00:14:42,845 --> 00:14:43,212
richardson flight for us to

459
00:14:43,212 --> 00:14:45,212
collaborate on.

460
00:14:47,751 --> 00:14:49,419
So, we are well aware that zero

461
00:14:49,419 --> 00:14:51,521
emissions is just not reflected

462
00:14:51,521 --> 00:14:53,823
as best as it can be in the 20

463
00:14:53,823 --> 00:14:54,570
year plant that is met for the

464
00:14:54,570 --> 00:14:55,758
fourth.

465
00:14:55,758 --> 00:14:59,358
Some aspects that we would like

466
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:02,265
to see improved arc the cleaning

467
00:15:02,265 --> 00:15:02,532
truck front rate, $10 is not

468
00:15:02,532 --> 00:15:04,532
equitable.

469
00:15:08,838 --> 00:15:12,438
We have been here before, at

470
00:15:14,811 --> 00:15:16,379
least a $50 rate, what I believe

471
00:15:16,379 --> 00:15:16,627
is equitable, we don'

472
00:15:16,627 --> 00:15:17,781
t need any

473
00:15:17,781 --> 00:15:20,181
more fossil fuel infrastructure

474
00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:21,985
to be grown at the port, and to

475
00:15:21,985 --> 00:15:24,454
see that in the plant as far as

476
00:15:24,454 --> 00:15:26,454
forecasting for infrastructure

477
00:15:26,623 --> 00:15:27,757
and we need, like I mentioned

478
00:15:27,757 --> 00:15:29,792
earlier, we need more community

479
00:15:29,792 --> 00:15:31,792
engagement.

480
00:15:32,228 --> 00:15:32,862
A monumental piece of

481
00:15:32,862 --> 00:15:35,798
information has been released by

482
00:15:35,798 --> 00:15:38,798
the american lung association, I

483
00:15:39,669 --> 00:15:40,603
expect you -- encourage you to

484
00:15:40,603 --> 00:15:41,404
check out that report.

485
00:15:41,404 --> 00:15:44,404
The report found that california

486
00:15:45,808 --> 00:15:48,440
cities and mostly L.A. Cities,

487
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,813
L.A. County cities, ranked

488
00:15:50,813 --> 00:15:51,814
number one in the nation for six

489
00:15:51,814 --> 00:15:53,750
out of 10 most ozone polluted

490
00:15:53,750 --> 00:15:54,183
cities.

491
00:15:54,183 --> 00:15:57,183
So, let me tell you.

492
00:15:58,302 --> 00:15:59,756
L.A. County cities are number

493
00:15:59,756 --> 00:16:00,230
one.

494
00:16:00,230 --> 00:16:02,230
For ozone.

495
00:16:02,910 --> 00:16:04,910
That means small.

496
00:16:06,462 --> 00:16:08,531
We cannot afford to let the

497
00:16:08,531 --> 00:16:09,766
emissions that come from oil

498
00:16:09,766 --> 00:16:11,768
bunkering and ships continuing

499
00:16:11,768 --> 00:16:13,102
to harm folks, we know that, the

500
00:16:13,102 --> 00:16:13,770
air resources board'

501
00:16:13,770 --> 00:16:15,770
s passing

502
00:16:17,841 --> 00:16:20,241
monumental regulations for rules

503
00:16:23,546 --> 00:16:26,490
for dock procedures, but we need

504
00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:26,649
to see more support for zero

505
00:16:26,649 --> 00:16:28,251
emissions in your master plan.

506
00:16:28,251 --> 00:16:28,551
There needs to be more

507
00:16:28,551 --> 00:16:30,551
engagement.

508
00:16:31,654 --> 00:16:34,424
This is not enough, us 10 people

509
00:16:34,424 --> 00:16:35,758
being here at one of your

510
00:16:35,758 --> 00:16:38,158
meetings is not enough.

511
00:16:39,462 --> 00:16:40,630
We need to see more meetings to

512
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:41,698
express ideas and collaborate

513
00:16:41,698 --> 00:16:43,399
with you all as you have been.

514
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,936
They can so much for your time.

515
00:16:46,936 --> 00:16:47,166
-- thank you so much for your

516
00:16:47,166 --> 00:16:49,166
time.

517
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,600
>> next.

518
00:16:57,514 --> 00:16:59,514
Allison.

519
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:02,500
>> good afternoon.

520
00:17:05,588 --> 00:17:07,791
I am an attorney with the

521
00:17:07,791 --> 00:17:08,225
natural resources defense equity

522
00:17:08,225 --> 00:17:10,225
and justice center.

523
00:17:11,227 --> 00:17:11,761
I am a proud member of the

524
00:17:11,761 --> 00:17:13,761
impact project coalition.

525
00:17:15,999 --> 00:17:16,933
We believe that everyone has the

526
00:17:16,933 --> 00:17:18,668
right to a safe and healthy

527
00:17:18,668 --> 00:17:20,103
environment regardless of zip

528
00:17:20,103 --> 00:17:21,304
code.

529
00:17:21,304 --> 00:17:22,939
For this reason we are deeply

530
00:17:22,939 --> 00:17:23,606
concerned that the courts are

531
00:17:23,606 --> 00:17:26,600
still dominated by heavy-duty

532
00:17:27,944 --> 00:17:30,944
diesel truck -- tracks that

533
00:17:31,414 --> 00:17:32,882
pollute the air that children,

534
00:17:32,882 --> 00:17:33,550
elderly residents and families

535
00:17:33,550 --> 00:17:33,792
are supposed -- forced to

536
00:17:33,792 --> 00:17:35,792
breathe.

537
00:17:36,753 --> 00:17:38,822
There have been numerous studies

538
00:17:38,822 --> 00:17:40,524
released about their short life

539
00:17:40,524 --> 00:17:42,524
expectancy.

540
00:17:45,762 --> 00:17:48,231
While we approve of the voucher

541
00:17:48,231 --> 00:17:51,831
program, mower -- more must be

542
00:17:53,703 --> 00:17:54,300
done to reduce emissions by

543
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:54,504
2035.

544
00:17:54,504 --> 00:17:55,105
There are three things that I

545
00:17:55,105 --> 00:17:58,705
would like to touch on today.

546
00:17:59,976 --> 00:18:02,579
The fleets rule would require

547
00:18:02,579 --> 00:18:06,179
that on jenny jack -- JANUARY 1,

548
00:18:06,783 --> 00:18:07,500
all new tracks must be zero

549
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:07,651
emissions.

550
00:18:07,651 --> 00:18:10,651
The courts must double down.

551
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,560
they must incentvize funding in

552
00:18:16,459 --> 00:18:17,794
the very near term to

553
00:18:17,794 --> 00:18:18,194
accommodate the upcoming

554
00:18:18,194 --> 00:18:20,194
regulatory change.

555
00:18:21,798 --> 00:18:25,398
The ports must increase the fund

556
00:18:27,304 --> 00:18:29,239
raised to $70 per te you to

557
00:18:29,239 --> 00:18:29,873
support the shift to one hundred

558
00:18:29,873 --> 00:18:32,273
percent zero emissions trucking.

559
00:18:33,476 --> 00:18:34,778
It will not be usable for fleets

560
00:18:34,778 --> 00:18:36,460
to deploy zero emission truck

561
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:37,814
until funding is secured to

562
00:18:37,814 --> 00:18:38,181
cover zero emission

563
00:18:38,181 --> 00:18:39,516
infrastructure.

564
00:18:39,516 --> 00:18:41,916
We strongly support the

565
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:44,721
direction of the port to focus

566
00:18:44,721 --> 00:18:45,322
on zero emission tracks only and

567
00:18:45,322 --> 00:18:48,922
asked the ports do not extend

568
00:18:49,126 --> 00:18:49,759
any exceptions for natural gas

569
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,429
tracks that harm our community.

570
00:18:52,429 --> 00:18:56,290
We urge the ports to prioritize

571
00:18:57,467 --> 00:18:58,134
public health and safety by

572
00:18:58,134 --> 00:18:58,568
rapidly transitioning to zero

573
00:18:58,568 --> 00:18:58,835
emission technology.

574
00:18:58,835 --> 00:19:00,360
Thank you.

575
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:00,603
>> thank you.

576
00:19:00,603 --> 00:19:02,603
Next.

577
00:19:04,274 --> 00:19:06,274
>> monica.

578
00:19:13,851 --> 00:19:15,851
>> good afternoon.

579
00:19:17,454 --> 00:19:18,540
Thank you so much for creating

580
00:19:18,540 --> 00:19:21,654
space for us to speak today.

581
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:22,692
My name is monica embree and I

582
00:19:22,692 --> 00:19:25,692
am the california director of

583
00:19:26,663 --> 00:19:29,266
energy campaigns for the sierra.

584
00:19:29,266 --> 00:19:30,467
I am here to urge the port of

585
00:19:30,467 --> 00:19:31,902
long beach to take further

586
00:19:31,902 --> 00:19:34,710
action on their pending port

587
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:34,704
master plan to really accelerate

588
00:19:34,704 --> 00:19:35,906
the turnover 20 emission shifts

589
00:19:35,906 --> 00:19:37,906
and tracks.

590
00:19:39,276 --> 00:19:39,943
I am deeply -- deeply concerned

591
00:19:39,943 --> 00:19:42,780
about the lack of progress to

592
00:19:42,780 --> 00:19:43,130
date in large part because of

593
00:19:43,130 --> 00:19:45,782
the impacts on committee health

594
00:19:45,782 --> 00:19:47,170
and climate.

595
00:19:47,170 --> 00:19:49,786
In communities like west long

596
00:19:49,786 --> 00:19:52,786
beach where emily lives, which

597
00:19:53,557 --> 00:19:54,157
is adjacent to our ports, the

598
00:19:54,157 --> 00:19:56,557
average life expectancy falls

599
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,610
eight years shorter than the

600
00:19:58,610 --> 00:19:58,795
average in the county.

601
00:19:58,795 --> 00:20:01,195
that is simply unacceptable.

602
00:20:01,998 --> 00:20:03,800
Our peoples lives cannot be at

603
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,267
stake for the prophets of the

604
00:20:04,267 --> 00:20:06,267
fossil fuel industry.

605
00:20:07,938 --> 00:20:08,605
This has a disproportionate

606
00:20:08,605 --> 00:20:10,941
impact on communities of color,

607
00:20:10,941 --> 00:20:13,443
with black lung -- black long

608
00:20:13,443 --> 00:20:14,100
beach residents being

609
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:16,410
hospitalized at rates eight

610
00:20:20,317 --> 00:20:20,950
times and hispanic communities

611
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:21,318
at twice the rate as white long

612
00:20:21,318 --> 00:20:23,318
beach residents.

613
00:20:27,924 --> 00:20:28,558
This disproportionate impact

614
00:20:28,558 --> 00:20:28,892
constitutes environmental racism

615
00:20:28,892 --> 00:20:30,892
and injustice.

616
00:20:33,864 --> 00:20:34,498
Children in long beach have

617
00:20:34,498 --> 00:20:34,931
doubled asthma rates of children

618
00:20:34,931 --> 00:20:37,331
across L.A. County.

619
00:20:38,368 --> 00:20:41,368
We need further action to

620
00:20:45,108 --> 00:20:45,976
advance the 100% zero emissions

621
00:20:45,976 --> 00:20:47,978
fleet and we are thrilled there

622
00:20:47,978 --> 00:20:51,810
is a strong belief in this by

623
00:20:51,810 --> 00:20:51,328
2035, but we need strong interim

624
00:20:51,328 --> 00:20:53,328
action.

625
00:20:54,551 --> 00:20:55,418
It has been five years since the

626
00:20:55,418 --> 00:20:59,180
action plan update and the ports

627
00:21:00,156 --> 00:21:01,240
have only deployed 122 grant

628
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,127
funded zero emission vehicles

629
00:21:03,127 --> 00:21:05,527
and only 60 battery electric

630
00:21:06,296 --> 00:21:08,980
tracks in the port race

631
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:09,633
registry.

632
00:21:09,633 --> 00:21:12,330
There are over 10,000 tracks

633
00:21:12,350 --> 00:21:12,569
that regularly service the ports

634
00:21:12,569 --> 00:21:13,336
and must be turned over 20

635
00:21:13,336 --> 00:21:15,336
emission engines.

636
00:21:16,573 --> 00:21:17,808
To date, we have done less than

637
00:21:17,808 --> 00:21:19,676
1% of the fleet.

638
00:21:19,676 --> 00:21:19,976
We urge you to advance action

639
00:21:19,976 --> 00:21:21,976
much faster.

640
00:21:22,412 --> 00:21:25,412
Especially in light of the

641
00:21:25,682 --> 00:21:28,682
recent ipcc report, which shows

642
00:21:32,622 --> 00:21:35,158
once again, if you -- critical

643
00:21:35,158 --> 00:21:36,260
action must be taken or we will

644
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:38,276
see catastrophic climate change

645
00:21:38,276 --> 00:21:38,662
here long beach, and the country

646
00:21:38,662 --> 00:21:41,620
and across the war.

647
00:21:42,666 --> 00:21:44,635
We know the impacts like sea

648
00:21:44,635 --> 00:21:44,891
level rise, flooding and intense

649
00:21:44,891 --> 00:21:46,891
heat.

650
00:21:48,380 --> 00:21:49,806
We feel is impacts here in long

651
00:21:49,806 --> 00:21:51,410
beach and know they will be

652
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:53,441
exacerbated by further delays.

653
00:21:54,311 --> 00:21:56,279
We are calling on the port of

654
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,448
long beach harbor commissioners

655
00:21:58,448 --> 00:22:00,848
to prioritize, health, --

656
00:22:03,854 --> 00:22:05,922
climate and safety by an interim

657
00:22:05,922 --> 00:22:06,189
target of 25% 2024.

658
00:22:06,189 --> 00:22:08,189
Thank you.

659
00:22:08,925 --> 00:22:09,259
>> thank you.

660
00:22:09,259 --> 00:22:11,259
Next speaker.

661
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,290
>> danielle hit ari.

662
00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:38,860
This

663
00:22:40,290 --> 00:22:42,690
>> good afternoon board of

664
00:22:45,162 --> 00:22:48,310
commissioners, I am a resident

665
00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:50,768
of long beach in district2 and I

666
00:22:50,768 --> 00:22:51,568
am the pacific climate campaigns

667
00:22:51,568 --> 00:22:53,568
manager for advocacy.

668
00:22:54,271 --> 00:22:57,808
I am here today, like my friends

669
00:22:57,808 --> 00:23:00,208
and colleagues and community

670
00:23:00,844 --> 00:23:03,280
members to comment on the

671
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,682
pending port master plan update.

672
00:23:05,682 --> 00:23:06,450
The reason that we are so

673
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:07,818
passionate about the port master

674
00:23:07,818 --> 00:23:09,820
plan update is that it is a once

675
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:12,820
in a generation land-use stock

676
00:23:13,791 --> 00:23:16,791
event that outlines land-use for

677
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:19,830
the -- coming 20 years and those

678
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:22,830
20 years of the most critical

679
00:23:23,926 --> 00:23:24,252
time for climate action in the

680
00:23:24,252 --> 00:23:24,801
history of humanity.

681
00:23:24,801 --> 00:23:25,135
So that'

682
00:23:25,135 --> 00:23:25,802
s why this is so

683
00:23:25,802 --> 00:23:27,802
important.

684
00:23:28,380 --> 00:23:31,638
We have been very active over

685
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:35,613
the past in engaging community

686
00:23:35,613 --> 00:23:38,613
members about the plan update.

687
00:23:39,449 --> 00:23:42,449
We knocked on about 5000 doors

688
00:23:45,155 --> 00:23:45,989
here in long beach, educating

689
00:23:45,989 --> 00:23:49,589
folks on how the port master

690
00:23:50,962 --> 00:23:51,762
plan update previously included

691
00:23:51,762 --> 00:23:53,797
which about liquefied natural

692
00:23:53,797 --> 00:23:54,164
gas anchoring.

693
00:23:54,164 --> 00:23:56,164
-- bunkering.

694
00:24:01,805 --> 00:24:04,205
We received thousands of

695
00:24:05,209 --> 00:24:07,209
signatures certifying that

696
00:24:08,578 --> 00:24:11,480
residents did not want any more

697
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:11,315
fossil fuel bunkering on county

698
00:24:11,315 --> 00:24:13,315
property.

699
00:24:14,751 --> 00:24:17,788
And now I am so grateful that we

700
00:24:17,788 --> 00:24:18,388
received that letter from the

701
00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:21,388
executive saying that he will

702
00:24:21,425 --> 00:24:22,526
strike liquefied natural gas

703
00:24:22,526 --> 00:24:24,926
bunkering from the update.

704
00:24:25,796 --> 00:24:28,199
I am urging you with the fate of

705
00:24:28,199 --> 00:24:30,401
humanity in your hands to take

706
00:24:30,401 --> 00:24:33,837
this a step further and to ban

707
00:24:33,837 --> 00:24:36,390
any new renewed or expanded

708
00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:37,808
fossil fuel productions or

709
00:24:37,808 --> 00:24:39,943
bunkering on port property to

710
00:24:39,943 --> 00:24:42,246
properly respond to the climate

711
00:24:42,246 --> 00:24:42,490
emergency that you currently

712
00:24:42,490 --> 00:24:44,490
face.

713
00:24:47,651 --> 00:24:50,200
The ipcc of the united nations

714
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,822
says we have before 2025 for

715
00:24:51,822 --> 00:24:54,822
global climate emissions to peak

716
00:24:56,193 --> 00:24:57,795
at 2030 four global climate

717
00:24:57,795 --> 00:24:58,440
emissions to be halved from 2019

718
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,440
levels.

719
00:25:00,731 --> 00:25:02,833
The port master plan update

720
00:25:02,833 --> 00:25:04,968
needs to reflect the scientific

721
00:25:04,968 --> 00:25:06,968
realities.

722
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,605
The port has a responsibility to

723
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:14,909
long beach, to local community,

724
00:25:17,748 --> 00:25:18,349
and last SEPTEMBER we experience

725
00:25:18,349 --> 00:25:20,317
record shattering heat waves.

726
00:25:20,317 --> 00:25:22,317
109 degrees fahrenheit, the

727
00:25:22,619 --> 00:25:24,540
hottest that it has ever been in

728
00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:24,304
long beach in recorded history.

729
00:25:24,304 --> 00:25:26,304
Why?

730
00:25:28,492 --> 00:25:29,260
At climate change.

731
00:25:29,260 --> 00:25:29,260
Hot -- human caused global

732
00:25:29,260 --> 00:25:30,461
warming.

733
00:25:30,461 --> 00:25:32,861
Thank you so much.

734
00:25:33,797 --> 00:25:34,298
We need this port master plan

735
00:25:34,298 --> 00:25:34,565
update to beatrice rhoda

736
00:25:34,565 --> 00:25:36,320
document.

737
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,320
>> thank you.

738
00:25:40,537 --> 00:25:40,804
-- to be a transformative

739
00:25:40,804 --> 00:25:42,506
document.

740
00:25:42,506 --> 00:25:44,506
>> thank you.

741
00:25:45,809 --> 00:25:47,809
>> nancy wu.

742
00:25:59,623 --> 00:26:01,792
>> hello, my name is nancy wu,

743
00:26:01,792 --> 00:26:03,227
district three.

744
00:26:03,227 --> 00:26:06,764
I am in organizer with the

745
00:26:06,764 --> 00:26:08,265
sunrise movement and and -- a

746
00:26:08,265 --> 00:26:09,967
poet and a writer.

747
00:26:09,967 --> 00:26:11,735
I want to the skin test

748
00:26:11,735 --> 00:26:13,804
community members that danielle

749
00:26:13,804 --> 00:26:16,804
just mentioned becoming aware of

750
00:26:17,808 --> 00:26:22,800
l -- bunkering and what that is.

751
00:26:22,113 --> 00:26:25,783
i am here because I am an

752
00:26:25,783 --> 00:26:27,985
individual, and I am not really

753
00:26:27,985 --> 00:26:28,519
sure what I can do to prevent

754
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:28,819
the worst possible planet

755
00:26:28,819 --> 00:26:30,819
catastrophe.

756
00:26:30,888 --> 00:26:34,488
I am here because people like

757
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:36,994
you are in a position to make

758
00:26:36,994 --> 00:26:37,794
serious and immediate change,

759
00:26:37,794 --> 00:26:40,794
which is what you need.

760
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,250
As danielle just mentioned, it'

761
00:26:43,250 --> 00:26:45,250
s

762
00:26:45,903 --> 00:26:47,738
like how are we going to get our

763
00:26:47,738 --> 00:26:50,138
traditions down, and I

764
00:26:50,808 --> 00:26:51,408
understand that the port master

765
00:26:51,408 --> 00:26:53,811
plan update is in review right

766
00:26:53,811 --> 00:26:55,379
now.

767
00:26:55,379 --> 00:26:57,214
I am urging the port of long

768
00:26:57,214 --> 00:27:00,151
beach to updated to remove any

769
00:27:00,151 --> 00:27:01,886
land-use designations for a new,

770
00:27:01,886 --> 00:27:02,186
renewal or expanded fossil fuel

771
00:27:02,186 --> 00:27:04,186
production.

772
00:27:07,358 --> 00:27:07,958
I understand this is a once in a

773
00:27:07,958 --> 00:27:10,358
generation document, which is

774
00:27:11,862 --> 00:27:13,798
why I am here because of, we

775
00:27:13,798 --> 00:27:14,100
happened to get these things

776
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:14,698
out.

777
00:27:14,698 --> 00:27:15,833
It'

778
00:27:15,833 --> 00:27:16,701
s really important

779
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:17,334
opportunity which feels like a

780
00:27:17,334 --> 00:27:17,968
really really good opportunity

781
00:27:17,968 --> 00:27:20,270
right now to make some serious

782
00:27:20,270 --> 00:27:21,806
change, to get closer to zero

783
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:23,806
emissions.

784
00:27:24,475 --> 00:27:25,476
Which is reducing pollution,

785
00:27:25,476 --> 00:27:26,430
protecting long beach residents,

786
00:27:26,430 --> 00:27:28,443
and fighting climate change.

787
00:27:33,651 --> 00:27:34,652
So, in addition to removing the

788
00:27:34,652 --> 00:27:36,530
land-use designations, I also

789
00:27:36,530 --> 00:27:37,788
urge you to increase the clean

790
00:27:37,788 --> 00:27:38,355
truck fund rate and put money

791
00:27:38,355 --> 00:27:40,458
into zero emission tracks in

792
00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:43,561
order to achieve a truck fleet

793
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:44,795
that is putting 5% zero

794
00:27:44,795 --> 00:27:46,795
emissions by 2024.

795
00:27:47,732 --> 00:27:48,332
And I am looking at that and

796
00:27:48,332 --> 00:27:48,732
thinking about the small stuff

797
00:27:48,732 --> 00:27:51,132
that can be taken.

798
00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:52,192
It feels like a big issue,

799
00:27:52,192 --> 00:27:54,192
right.

800
00:27:54,738 --> 00:27:55,272
How do we prevent the

801
00:27:55,272 --> 00:27:57,672
catastrophes of the world.

802
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,800
And I would really like to see

803
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,515
that in motion in the port.

804
00:28:04,515 --> 00:28:04,849
Small steps leading to the

805
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,849
bigger steps.

806
00:28:09,753 --> 00:28:10,221
Which is to and fossil fuel

807
00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:10,554
production completely.

808
00:28:10,554 --> 00:28:12,554
Going forward.

809
00:28:14,158 --> 00:28:17,895
Because we know we need to move

810
00:28:17,895 --> 00:28:18,763
quickly and reduce emissions as

811
00:28:18,763 --> 00:28:20,664
much as possible to mitigate

812
00:28:20,664 --> 00:28:21,198
global catastrophe and protect

813
00:28:21,198 --> 00:28:24,198
the people of long beach.

814
00:28:24,702 --> 00:28:25,336
We need a just transition to

815
00:28:25,336 --> 00:28:28,572
clean energy and I would love to

816
00:28:28,572 --> 00:28:29,273
see the port of long beach be a

817
00:28:29,273 --> 00:28:29,640
global leader in transitioning

818
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,307
to clean energy.

819
00:28:30,307 --> 00:28:32,307
Thank you.

820
00:28:33,811 --> 00:28:34,645
>> thank you very much.

821
00:28:34,645 --> 00:28:36,645
Our next speaker.

822
00:28:37,415 --> 00:28:39,415
>> kurt canfield.

823
00:28:41,619 --> 00:28:43,619
>> high.

824
00:28:45,789 --> 00:28:47,789
-- hello.

825
00:28:48,510 --> 00:28:50,298
I am a memberof sunrise long

826
00:28:50,298 --> 00:28:51,629
beach as well.

827
00:28:51,629 --> 00:28:53,798
And the port is a huge economic

828
00:28:53,798 --> 00:28:56,798
driver for long beach, and

829
00:28:57,435 --> 00:28:58,602
massive engine that turns out

830
00:28:58,602 --> 00:29:02,802
lots and lots of goods and jobs

831
00:29:05,142 --> 00:29:07,945
and those exhaust fumes of that

832
00:29:07,945 --> 00:29:10,348
economic engine are what many

833
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:12,783
residents of long beach and

834
00:29:12,783 --> 00:29:13,217
especially the west side have to

835
00:29:13,217 --> 00:29:15,217
live with everyday.

836
00:29:19,991 --> 00:29:24,177
So, I am glad that the port is

837
00:29:24,177 --> 00:29:27,177
taking it seriously, that is

838
00:29:28,766 --> 00:29:29,801
your mission is -- zero

839
00:29:29,801 --> 00:29:32,801
emissions are important but not

840
00:29:33,104 --> 00:29:34,872
only for our planet but the

841
00:29:34,872 --> 00:29:35,473
local scale, taking care of the

842
00:29:35,473 --> 00:29:37,808
people who work there and live

843
00:29:37,808 --> 00:29:38,509
in proximity to that port and

844
00:29:38,509 --> 00:29:41,509
everything that he can provide.

845
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:44,215
I think that one of the things

846
00:29:44,215 --> 00:29:45,549
that the port should be able to

847
00:29:45,549 --> 00:29:45,816
provide is a not reduced

848
00:29:45,816 --> 00:29:47,816
lifespan.

849
00:29:52,189 --> 00:29:53,791
And so, I'

850
00:29:53,791 --> 00:29:55,426
m here with pacific

851
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:59,260
environment to try and urge you

852
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:05,660
to double down on those

853
00:30:05,203 --> 00:30:06,838
initiatives that are already

854
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:07,372
taking place, to set interim

855
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:09,772
goals and publicize those

856
00:30:10,374 --> 00:30:10,908
interim goals, for moving to a

857
00:30:10,908 --> 00:30:13,308
zero emission truck fleet.

858
00:30:13,644 --> 00:30:17,244
Because, you know, the fear is

859
00:30:18,716 --> 00:30:19,651
that the 2035 will come and go

860
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:22,651
and we are still short

861
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:23,187
significantly of what was

862
00:30:23,187 --> 00:30:25,890
promised.

863
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:28,890
We want to avoid that.

864
00:30:31,950 --> 00:30:35,295
We just want to make sure that

865
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:36,934
really firm and publicized

866
00:30:36,934 --> 00:30:37,668
interim goals for the

867
00:30:37,668 --> 00:30:39,237
electrification process would be

868
00:30:39,237 --> 00:30:41,237
very important.

869
00:30:43,107 --> 00:30:46,107
In addition to that, increasing

870
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:51,215
dte you rate would be beneficial

871
00:30:51,215 --> 00:30:51,515
-- the te you rate would be

872
00:30:51,515 --> 00:30:53,515
beneficial.

873
00:30:55,887 --> 00:30:56,387
We have a lot of tracks coming

874
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:58,787
through, we have alameda

875
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:00,792
corridor -- tracks coming

876
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:01,359
through we have alameda

877
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,759
corridor, which could impact

878
00:31:04,528 --> 00:31:04,862
those emissions and it is

879
00:31:04,862 --> 00:31:06,862
underutilized.

880
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:10,340
I know you are not the alameda

881
00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:12,340
corridor transportation

882
00:31:12,403 --> 00:31:13,304
authority, what more can be done

883
00:31:13,304 --> 00:31:15,673
in terms of trying to

884
00:31:15,673 --> 00:31:17,673
incentivize usage.

885
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:21,544
Furthermore land-use

886
00:31:25,116 --> 00:31:25,816
designations that allow for

887
00:31:25,816 --> 00:31:28,216
increased bunkering, we would

888
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,887
like to get those taken out and

889
00:31:29,887 --> 00:31:32,887
figure out other ways of

890
00:31:33,925 --> 00:31:34,692
electrifying are port and

891
00:31:34,692 --> 00:31:34,959
providing for energy needs.

892
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:36,959
Thank you.

893
00:31:39,764 --> 00:31:40,980
-- our port and providing for

894
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:40,364
energy needs.

895
00:31:40,364 --> 00:31:42,364
Thank you.

896
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:45,770
>> I just want you to know that

897
00:31:45,770 --> 00:31:47,372
we have a billion-dollar project

898
00:31:47,372 --> 00:31:48,139
to increase rail rather than

899
00:31:48,139 --> 00:31:48,940
putting containers on tracks.

900
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,743
Thank you for your comments.

901
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:53,743
>> jaclyn moore.

902
00:32:06,657 --> 00:32:07,225
>> good afternoon PRESIDENT

903
00:32:07,225 --> 00:32:09,625
Wiseman and the commission.

904
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:10,610
I'

905
00:32:10,610 --> 00:32:10,361
m with the shipping

906
00:32:10,361 --> 00:32:12,361
association.

907
00:32:14,465 --> 00:32:15,990
You heard comments today on zero

908
00:32:15,990 --> 00:32:15,867
emissions and various fields and

909
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:18,970
I wish to highlight the benefit

910
00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:20,970
of lng vessels.

911
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:24,342
They create emission reductions

912
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:27,342
and benefit air quality and

913
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:31,115
climate with 90% reductions in

914
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:32,830
smog, dpm, and a quarter

915
00:32:32,830 --> 00:32:34,483
production in carbon dioxide.

916
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:40,358
How do we not desire this

917
00:32:40,358 --> 00:32:42,326
technology when our programs are

918
00:32:42,326 --> 00:32:42,561
designed to attract cleaner

919
00:32:42,561 --> 00:32:44,561
vessels?

920
00:32:46,197 --> 00:32:46,598
These are some of the cleanest

921
00:32:46,598 --> 00:32:48,598
vessels available.

922
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:54,706
There are a few hundred lng

923
00:32:54,706 --> 00:32:55,106
ships in operation, and there

924
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:57,106
are orders going.

925
00:32:58,476 --> 00:32:58,876
Over 30% of the vessels still to

926
00:32:58,876 --> 00:33:01,276
be built are lng.

927
00:33:02,213 --> 00:33:05,516
So in about five years we could

928
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:06,510
have almost 600 vessels, which

929
00:33:06,510 --> 00:33:08,451
means greater capacity and

930
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:12,390
greater emissions -- emission

931
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:12,597
losses as the shift grew in

932
00:33:12,597 --> 00:33:14,597
size.

933
00:33:16,461 --> 00:33:17,829
This does not include other

934
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:19,564
fuels such as ammonia or

935
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:22,330
methanol, which make up 80% of

936
00:33:22,330 --> 00:33:24,369
the total order book.

937
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:25,103
An incredible shift from just

938
00:33:25,103 --> 00:33:27,103
two years ago.

939
00:33:29,730 --> 00:33:29,807
We are investing billions of

940
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:30,642
dollars into the cleanest

941
00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:32,642
technologies available today,

942
00:33:36,581 --> 00:33:39,581
and zero emissions vessels not

943
00:33:41,753 --> 00:33:42,353
exist because -- in general.

944
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:45,423
Until then we must utilize the

945
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:45,723
cleanest fuels as transition

946
00:33:45,723 --> 00:33:47,723
area fuels.

947
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:51,761
Demonstrations and research are

948
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:52,730
underway for these technologies,

949
00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:56,330
but until these are proven, we

950
00:33:56,768 --> 00:33:59,168
must attract those vessels

951
00:34:00,572 --> 00:34:01,206
hereto are complex with feeling

952
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:03,174
capabilities and opportunities.

953
00:34:03,174 --> 00:34:05,176
Otherwise it is going to be

954
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:05,543
those older, more traditional

955
00:34:05,543 --> 00:34:07,543
field vessels.

956
00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:09,781
To conclude, the port of long

957
00:34:09,781 --> 00:34:12,781
beach is a greenport with

958
00:34:12,917 --> 00:34:14,917
incredibly efficient zero

959
00:34:17,155 --> 00:34:17,588
emission goals, and should use

960
00:34:17,588 --> 00:34:17,956
these vessels in its

961
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:19,357
transformation.

962
00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:21,757
>> thank you very much.

963
00:34:22,361 --> 00:34:24,162
Can recall two people at a time

964
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:25,763
so the next person can be ready

965
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:27,532
and when that person speaks we

966
00:34:27,532 --> 00:34:29,134

Thank you for giving us this

00:34:49,387 --> 00:34:49,654
time to speak, nice to see you

975
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:51,654
all again.

976
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:55,560
I don'

977
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,261
t actually live in long

978
00:34:57,261 --> 00:34:57,929
beach anymore, I used to live in

979
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,640
west long beach but I do want to

980
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,867
share a story and before I

981
00:35:02,867 --> 00:35:04,135
continue, I really want to

982
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:04,770
express my gratitude for my

983
00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:05,803
community member anna millie and

984
00:35:05,803 --> 00:35:08,273
all of the folks that are not

985
00:35:08,273 --> 00:35:09,274
here who have shared this and

986
00:35:09,274 --> 00:35:09,941
are unable to share this story

987
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:14,141
because this is why we are here.

988
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:16,448
There are human lives bearing

989
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,249
the cost and many of us are just

990
00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:18,883
try to live our lives.

991
00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:20,385
And I share this story which I

992
00:35:20,385 --> 00:35:20,985
am about to share, I am an

993
00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:21,192
immigrant from the philippines

994
00:35:21,192 --> 00:35:23,192
-

995
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,257
and when it came to the U.S., my

996
00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:27,859
family an my mom could only

997
00:35:27,859 --> 00:35:28,693
afford to get a two bedroom to

998
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:31,262
have my grand parents, my mom

999
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:32,764
and dad and three kids.

1000
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:33,532
Three generations in a two

1001
00:35:33,532 --> 00:35:36,532
bedroom apartment right next to

1002
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,705
the railyard at the refinery.

1003
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:41,806
I grew up in west long beach and

1004
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:42,730
my brother was born a year later

1005
00:35:42,730 --> 00:35:44,730
-- later.

1006
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:49,147
He was -- needed and nebulizer

1007
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:52,747
to break out of the womb.

1008
00:35:53,785 --> 00:35:54,252
I gear after, I was also

1009
00:35:54,252 --> 00:35:56,252
diagnosed with asthma.

1010
00:35:56,621 --> 00:35:57,789
The pollution that is affecting

1011
00:35:57,789 --> 00:36:00,189
neighborhoods like west long

1012
00:36:00,458 --> 00:36:00,679
beach and many others have real

1013
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:01,226
costs.

1014
00:36:01,226 --> 00:36:04,226
It affects our daily lives.

1015
00:36:06,970 --> 00:36:07,799
I left west long beach and got a

1016
00:36:07,799 --> 00:36:08,433
home in carson, I went to school

1017
00:36:08,433 --> 00:36:12,633
and came back to work for ecr.

1018
00:36:12,837 --> 00:36:15,237
In west long beach.

1019
00:36:15,373 --> 00:36:18,373
After I started working and

1020
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:20,776
doorknocking all across the 36,

1021
00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:21,880
35,000, 36,000 residents, I had

1022
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,880
to get an inhaler again.

1023
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:27,352
Because of the pollution I was

1024
00:36:27,352 --> 00:36:27,819
exposed to from my work.

1025
00:36:27,819 --> 00:36:30,819
Why am I saying that?

1026
00:36:32,891 --> 00:36:33,157
Because health is why many of us

1027
00:36:33,157 --> 00:36:34,659
are here.

1028
00:36:34,659 --> 00:36:35,527
As much as we can talk about

1029
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,128
their missions technology, the

1030
00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:39,965
reason why people are asking for

1031
00:36:39,965 --> 00:36:40,598
clean technology that is truly

1032
00:36:40,598 --> 00:36:41,199
zero without has -- health

1033
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,269
impact is because there is a

1034
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:45,360
cost that the ports are not

1035
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:45,804
paying for, you don'

1036
00:36:45,804 --> 00:36:47,906
t pay for my

1037
00:36:47,906 --> 00:36:49,407
medical bill or by inhaler, but

1038
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:50,800
we have to bear the cost of

1039
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:50,264
breathing in the contaminated

1040
00:36:50,264 --> 00:36:52,264
air.

1041
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:54,145
That is why for me this is not

1042
00:36:54,145 --> 00:36:56,314
the only place I ask for clean

1043
00:36:56,314 --> 00:36:57,682
air and push for zero emissions

1044
00:36:57,682 --> 00:36:59,117
technology.

1045
00:36:59,117 --> 00:37:02,654
We are doing work everywhere to

1046
00:37:02,654 --> 00:37:04,322
get all of us to zero emissions,

1047
00:37:04,322 --> 00:37:05,230
true zero that does not have

1048
00:37:05,230 --> 00:37:07,392
other impacts that displaces the

1049
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:07,859
cost of health to another

1050
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,361
community and another

1051
00:37:09,361 --> 00:37:11,361
neighborhood.

1052
00:37:11,463 --> 00:37:15,663
I also want to uplift that while

1053
00:37:16,668 --> 00:37:17,736
I no longer am in west beach --

1054
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:18,336
long beach as a resident, this

1055
00:37:18,336 --> 00:37:20,238
pollution affects all regions.

1056
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:20,839
When we think about their

1057
00:37:20,839 --> 00:37:23,839
emissions we are putting down

1058
00:37:24,142 --> 00:37:24,476
and dashing down payment for the

1059
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:26,476
entire region.

1060
00:37:27,479 --> 00:37:29,447
That is why I am here, to have a

1061
00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:32,251
plan to get 20 emissions and

1062
00:37:32,251 --> 00:37:32,584
engage residents, so we can hear

1063
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:34,520
more stories.

1064
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:34,886
And I hope that you don'

1065
00:37:34,886 --> 00:37:36,254
t forget

1066
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:37,220
that there are people who are at

1067
00:37:37,220 --> 00:37:38,957
the end of these policy meetings

1068
00:37:38,957 --> 00:37:41,459
that you do, and that is what

1069
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:42,600
the actual costs that we should

1070
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,561
be wearing about, because we

1071
00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:43,789
will bury and you won'

1072
00:37:43,789 --> 00:37:45,789
t cover

1073
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:46,640
the bill.

1074
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,666
Thank you.

1075
00:37:47,666 --> 00:37:47,905
-- bear it and you won'

1076
00:37:47,905 --> 00:37:48,141
t cover

1077
00:37:48,141 --> 00:37:48,377
the bill.

1078
00:37:48,377 --> 00:37:49,934
Thank you.

1079
00:37:49,934 --> 00:37:51,934

>> great, good afternoon.

1085
00:38:10,422 --> 00:38:10,755
I am a second district resident

1086
00:38:10,755 --> 00:38:12,755
of long beach.

1087
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:15,126
I am a 25 year veteran of the

1088
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:18,126

1089
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,165

unlimited.

1092
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:27,505
I have the pleasure of serving

1093
00:38:27,505 --> 00:38:29,808
at vessel trash make service --

1094
00:38:29,808 --> 00:38:30,775
traffic service in san

1095
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:31,376
francisco, so I know the port

1096
00:38:31,376 --> 00:38:31,598
and maritime community pretty

1097
00:38:31,598 --> 00:38:33,598
well.

1098
00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:36,790
I'

1099
00:38:36,348 --> 00:38:38,183
m in my third career now as a

1100
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:40,218
solar contractor to work on

1101
00:38:40,218 --> 00:38:42,200
solving the climate crisis

1102
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,688
through my professional actions,

1103
00:38:43,688 --> 00:38:45,791
and I also do quite a bit of pro

1104
00:38:45,791 --> 00:38:48,791
bono work on climate solutions.

1105
00:38:48,894 --> 00:38:49,528
I am the coleader of the

1106
00:38:49,528 --> 00:38:50,280
electrification action team for

1107
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,280
citizens climate lobby.

1108
00:38:54,232 --> 00:38:54,799
We advocate nationally for

1109
00:38:54,799 --> 00:38:55,266
carbon inhibiting and

1110
00:38:55,266 --> 00:38:57,266
electrified buildings.

1111
00:38:57,469 --> 00:39:01,690
And I was delighted to hear

1112
00:39:02,141 --> 00:39:04,141
mayor richardsons encouragement

1113
00:39:05,777 --> 00:39:09,470
to ask you all to pursue

1114
00:39:09,470 --> 00:39:09,714
electrification and

1115
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:10,549
decarbonization strategies that

1116
00:39:10,549 --> 00:39:12,851
can address I think 90% of our

1117
00:39:12,851 --> 00:39:13,452
economy.

1118
00:39:13,452 --> 00:39:13,672
With technology that is on the

1119
00:39:13,672 --> 00:39:15,672
shelf.

1120
00:39:19,910 --> 00:39:20,692
So, that is viewed across the

1121
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:23,920
renewable energy and climate

1122
00:39:24,463 --> 00:39:27,463
industry as really the low

1123
00:39:29,734 --> 00:39:30,435
hanging fruit, electrifying

1124
00:39:30,435 --> 00:39:31,570
machines and generating

1125
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:32,370
electricity from zero carbon

1126
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:32,871
sources.

1127
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:33,839
You can all be a huge player in

1128
00:39:33,839 --> 00:39:35,839
that.

1129
00:39:35,907 --> 00:39:36,374
A majority of the equipment in

1130
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,774
the port here, current

1131
00:39:41,747 --> 00:39:44,147
panhandling -- carbon handling

1132
00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:44,816
and so on, are easy targets for

1133
00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:46,816
electrification.

1134
00:39:47,986 --> 00:39:49,654
People are just getting there to

1135
00:39:49,654 --> 00:39:50,489
let you purchase those vehicles.

1136
00:39:50,489 --> 00:39:51,823
But I appreciate the leadership

1137
00:39:51,823 --> 00:39:55,260
that you have shown for years

1138
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:58,260
with starting, not just starting

1139
00:39:59,431 --> 00:39:59,931
with but also with plug in

1140
00:39:59,931 --> 00:40:01,166
electric sure ties.

1141
00:40:01,166 --> 00:40:03,335
I saw that when I was in san

1142
00:40:03,335 --> 00:40:03,568
francisco and cheered.

1143
00:40:03,568 --> 00:40:05,568
Anyway.

1144
00:40:07,105 --> 00:40:09,574
One of the things I want to do

1145
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:10,842
is offer the support of the

1146
00:40:10,842 --> 00:40:13,511
climate community to engage in

1147
00:40:13,511 --> 00:40:13,812
whatever we can to help with the

1148
00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:15,812
transition.

1149
00:40:17,249 --> 00:40:20,118
I know it is -- we are talking

1150
00:40:20,118 --> 00:40:20,986
about transitioning from the oil

1151
00:40:20,986 --> 00:40:24,256
and gas industry as our primary

1152
00:40:24,256 --> 00:40:25,157
source of enters -- energy, it

1153
00:40:25,157 --> 00:40:27,292
is 10% of global gdp that we

1154
00:40:27,292 --> 00:40:30,892
will be putting onto the machine

1155
00:40:33,732 --> 00:40:34,299
that the national academy of

1156
00:40:34,299 --> 00:40:37,135
sciences says that -- is the

1157
00:40:37,135 --> 00:40:39,535
most comments machine in

1158
00:40:40,505 --> 00:40:41,807
existence, the electrode rate.

1159
00:40:41,807 --> 00:40:42,600
This is a complicated task and

1160
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:43,809
I'

1161
00:40:43,809 --> 00:40:44,910
m grateful for your efforts.

1162
00:40:44,910 --> 00:40:46,910
Please consider electrification

1163
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:48,213
as the primary source of energy

1164
00:40:48,213 --> 00:40:49,114
everywhere you can.

1165
00:40:49,114 --> 00:40:51,583
I heard a comment about

1166
00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:51,840
compressed national -- natural

1167
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:52,784
gas.

1168
00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:53,850
I would think about that as a

1169
00:40:53,850 --> 00:40:55,850
bridge fuel.

1170
00:40:56,788 --> 00:40:57,323
I note both of you driving

1171
00:40:57,323 --> 00:40:57,555
electric vehicles, but not

1172
00:40:57,555 --> 00:40:59,555
hybrids.

1173
00:41:01,293 --> 00:41:02,328
And you are already into oh,

1174
00:41:02,328 --> 00:41:04,229
more than one.

1175
00:41:04,229 --> 00:41:06,229
So that'

1176
00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:07,332
s part of the bridge,

1177
00:41:07,332 --> 00:41:08,433
but let'

1178
00:41:08,433 --> 00:41:08,734
s not make it

1179
00:41:08,734 --> 00:41:10,734
longbridge.

1180
00:41:12,304 --> 00:41:12,537
>> yes, we got another convert

1181
00:41:12,537 --> 00:41:13,105
appear.

1182
00:41:13,105 --> 00:41:15,105
Next speaker.

1183
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:17,807
>> speaker roesch.

1184
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:25,384
>> good afternoon commissioners

1185
00:41:25,384 --> 00:41:27,352
and staff, my name is greg

1186
00:41:27,352 --> 00:41:28,420
roesch I am with clean energy

1187
00:41:28,420 --> 00:41:28,654
and I am here as a concerned

1188
00:41:28,654 --> 00:41:30,654
citizen.

1189
00:41:34,126 --> 00:41:34,726
We have a date of great ironies

1190
00:41:34,726 --> 00:41:37,129
as noted by one of the earlier

1191
00:41:37,129 --> 00:41:39,529
speakers, the american lung

1192
00:41:40,266 --> 00:41:40,966
association, has given us a big

1193
00:41:40,966 --> 00:41:45,166
fat f for our air quality here.

1194
00:41:45,537 --> 00:41:46,138
But at the same time,

1195
00:41:46,138 --> 00:41:48,538
ironically, we have advocates

1196
00:41:50,420 --> 00:41:50,287
coming up and advocating for

1197
00:41:50,287 --> 00:41:50,542
let'

1198
00:41:50,542 --> 00:41:52,942
s reduce the clean

1199
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:55,948
technologies that we want to

1200
00:41:55,948 --> 00:41:56,167
deploy.

1201
00:41:56,167 --> 00:41:57,549
it'

1202
00:41:57,549 --> 00:42:01,119
s hard for me to reconcile on

1203
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:01,787
the one hand we have a bad air

1204
00:42:01,787 --> 00:42:02,354
pollution problem and on the

1205
00:42:02,354 --> 00:42:03,388
other hand we want to limit

1206
00:42:03,388 --> 00:42:03,622
choice.

1207
00:42:03,622 --> 00:42:04,590
But let'

1208
00:42:04,590 --> 00:42:04,792
s play this out.

1209
00:42:04,792 --> 00:42:06,792
Let'

1210
00:42:07,392 --> 00:42:10,392
s think about what happens

1211
00:42:10,829 --> 00:42:11,363
if you do pass policies that

1212
00:42:11,363 --> 00:42:13,131
restrict choices for clean

1213
00:42:13,131 --> 00:42:14,990
technologies.

1214
00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:15,968
Number one, the ships that are

1215
00:42:15,968 --> 00:42:17,803
anchored offshore which is what

1216
00:42:17,803 --> 00:42:18,904
he is talking about wing a

1217
00:42:18,904 --> 00:42:19,112
source of pollution, they don'

1218
00:42:19,112 --> 00:42:19,314
t

1219
00:42:19,314 --> 00:42:21,314
change.

1220
00:42:22,908 --> 00:42:23,475
They keep coming here because

1221
00:42:23,475 --> 00:42:26,475
there are no other choices.

1222
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:28,547
The ships that people don'

1223
00:42:28,547 --> 00:42:29,815
t want

1224
00:42:29,815 --> 00:42:31,490
to have come here will have to

1225
00:42:31,490 --> 00:42:31,783
go someplace else and we will

1226
00:42:31,783 --> 00:42:34,783
get what comes here today.

1227
00:42:35,521 --> 00:42:35,887
What is it that we want a

1228
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,887
shipowner to do?

1229
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:42,559
Week -- methanol?

1230
00:42:44,863 --> 00:42:45,497
What color will be perfect

1231
00:42:45,497 --> 00:42:48,497
enough to make everybody happy?

1232
00:42:49,101 --> 00:42:51,571
Is it green, pink, blue?

1233
00:42:51,571 --> 00:42:52,710
We don'

1234
00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:52,471
t know.

1235
00:42:52,471 --> 00:42:54,471
How about ammonia?

1236
00:42:55,341 --> 00:42:55,574
A lot of people talk about

1237
00:42:55,574 --> 00:42:56,108
ammonia.

1238
00:42:56,108 --> 00:42:57,242
It'

1239
00:42:57,242 --> 00:42:58,711
s the same question, what

1240
00:42:58,711 --> 00:42:59,110
color ammonia will be perfect

1241
00:42:59,110 --> 00:43:01,110
enough?

1242
00:43:01,130 --> 00:43:03,130
What about nuclear?

1243
00:43:03,150 --> 00:43:05,150
That'

1244
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:05,286
s a clean fuel.

1245
00:43:05,286 --> 00:43:05,818
We'

1246
00:43:05,818 --> 00:43:06,117
ve been using that for

1247
00:43:06,117 --> 00:43:08,117
generations.

1248
00:43:09,188 --> 00:43:10,656
The point of all this is that we

1249
00:43:10,656 --> 00:43:11,290
do not know sitting here with

1250
00:43:11,290 --> 00:43:12,958
the technology is going to take

1251
00:43:12,958 --> 00:43:14,958
us.

1252
00:43:15,661 --> 00:43:16,528
So for a shipowner, that they

1253
00:43:16,528 --> 00:43:17,796
are being told don'

1254
00:43:17,796 --> 00:43:18,630
t take a

1255
00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:19,531
risk, don'

1256
00:43:19,531 --> 00:43:20,799
t be a leader, or you

1257
00:43:20,799 --> 00:43:21,367
will be penalized for doing

1258
00:43:21,367 --> 00:43:23,168
that, they will sit back and

1259
00:43:23,168 --> 00:43:25,671
they will wait to see how this

1260
00:43:25,671 --> 00:43:27,506
plays out.

1261
00:43:27,506 --> 00:43:29,808
And when the coast is clear and

1262
00:43:29,808 --> 00:43:30,409
everybody has decided what is

1263
00:43:30,409 --> 00:43:30,743
the perfect analogy, then they

1264
00:43:30,743 --> 00:43:33,143
will go do it.

1265
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,115
And finally, if you want --

1266
00:43:37,115 --> 00:43:38,617
technology, and finally if you

1267
00:43:38,617 --> 00:43:40,252
want the fastest way to get

1268
00:43:40,252 --> 00:43:41,787
clean is don'

1269
00:43:41,787 --> 00:43:43,550
t restrict the

1270
00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:43,275
competition, don'

1271
00:43:43,275 --> 00:43:43,555
t restrict

1272
00:43:43,555 --> 00:43:45,555
innovation.

1273
00:43:48,427 --> 00:43:49,280
Bring it all, encourage all the

1274
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,797
clean technologies to fight it

1275
00:43:51,797 --> 00:43:52,331
out in the marketplace, we all

1276
00:43:52,331 --> 00:43:54,731
benefit from having clean

1277
00:43:54,733 --> 00:43:55,267
technologies but we will see

1278
00:43:55,267 --> 00:43:57,667
where the technologies go.

1279
00:44:00,839 --> 00:44:02,741
Long beach prides itself on

1280
00:44:02,741 --> 00:44:04,743
being the port of choice.

1281
00:44:04,743 --> 00:44:07,847
I urge you to emain true to

1282
00:44:07,847 --> 00:44:08,814
that and be the choice of where

1283
00:44:08,814 --> 00:44:11,550
our technologies come in two

1284
00:44:11,550 --> 00:44:11,984
business in this port.

1285
00:44:11,984 --> 00:44:14,384
Thank you very much.

1286
00:44:17,856 --> 00:44:19,158
-- come and do business in this

1287
00:44:19,158 --> 00:44:19,592
port.

1288
00:44:19,592 --> 00:44:21,992
Thank you very much.

1289
00:44:23,162 --> 00:44:25,162
>> good afternoon, PRESIDENT,

1290
00:44:25,898 --> 00:44:26,198
commissioner, pleasure to see

1291
00:44:26,198 --> 00:44:28,198
well again.

1292
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:31,403
I wanted to talk to about the

1293
00:44:31,403 --> 00:44:32,638
subject that'

1294
00:44:32,638 --> 00:44:32,849
s on everyone'

1295
00:44:32,849 --> 00:44:33,806
s

1296
00:44:33,806 --> 00:44:35,806
minds today.

1297
00:44:36,609 --> 00:44:39,345
Back from my days when I was at

1298
00:44:39,345 --> 00:44:42,515
the port of long beach and I

1299
00:44:42,515 --> 00:44:45,784
helped develop the clean air act

1300
00:44:45,784 --> 00:44:47,653
and plan, we recognized early on

1301
00:44:47,653 --> 00:44:49,388
there was probably no more

1302
00:44:49,388 --> 00:44:50,220
difficult challenges in reducing

1303
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,220
emissions from ships.

1304
00:44:52,124 --> 00:44:53,759
There were no alternative

1305
00:44:53,759 --> 00:44:56,280
technologies, there were limited

1306
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,730
-- there was essentially

1307
00:44:57,730 --> 00:44:58,764
nothing, but we made some very

1308
00:44:58,764 --> 00:45:00,764
interesting progress.

1309
00:45:00,933 --> 00:45:02,768
We have the best and speed

1310
00:45:02,768 --> 00:45:03,335
reduction, which is six --

1311
00:45:03,335 --> 00:45:05,638
extremely successful in her

1312
00:45:05,638 --> 00:45:05,904
duchenne -- reducing emissions

1313
00:45:05,904 --> 00:45:07,904
and ships.

1314
00:45:08,641 --> 00:45:11,410
The coal reduces emissions.

1315
00:45:12,278 --> 00:45:13,579
That is technology that is used

1316
00:45:13,579 --> 00:45:15,979
across the container line

1317
00:45:19,919 --> 00:45:22,919
industry and tankers as well.

1318
00:45:23,289 --> 00:45:24,190
That being said, the still

1319
00:45:24,190 --> 00:45:24,623
remains the most retractable

1320
00:45:24,623 --> 00:45:26,623
source of ignition.

1321
00:45:27,793 --> 00:45:31,960
And when we need to look at what

1322
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:32,231
we are going to do going

1323
00:45:32,231 --> 00:45:32,435
forward, I think the information

1324
00:45:32,435 --> 00:45:34,166
that'

1325
00:45:34,166 --> 00:45:36,902
s before us, the answer is

1326
00:45:36,902 --> 00:45:37,670
obvious, we need to embrace the

1327
00:45:37,670 --> 00:45:39,670
technologies.

1328
00:45:39,939 --> 00:45:42,675
The reason that this port needs

1329
00:45:42,675 --> 00:45:43,209
to embrace lng technology is

1330
00:45:43,209 --> 00:45:43,576
because the technology is

1331
00:45:43,576 --> 00:45:45,576
available today.

1332
00:45:45,945 --> 00:45:47,914
I think you'

1333
00:45:47,914 --> 00:45:50,314
re all aware of

1334
00:45:50,850 --> 00:45:51,650
vessel builds, vessel

1335
00:45:51,650 --> 00:45:53,953
deployment, how long it takes

1336
00:45:53,953 --> 00:45:55,121
technology to cripple -- triple

1337
00:45:55,121 --> 00:45:57,121
through the system.

1338
00:45:57,990 --> 00:45:59,758
Things like tier three vessels,

1339
00:45:59,758 --> 00:46:02,158
the cleanest vessels available.

1340
00:46:03,362 --> 00:46:03,796
We see single-digit percentages

1341
00:46:03,796 --> 00:46:05,796
of fleet integration

1342
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,668
technologies, yet we actually

1343
00:46:09,668 --> 00:46:09,936
see use of lng ships today and

1344
00:46:09,936 --> 00:46:11,936
this port.

1345
00:46:12,772 --> 00:46:15,274
As you heard from my colleague,

1346
00:46:15,274 --> 00:46:15,774
those ships are being built and

1347
00:46:15,774 --> 00:46:17,774
are being deployed.

1348
00:46:18,677 --> 00:46:21,781
When you consider whether or not

1349
00:46:21,781 --> 00:46:23,649
people use lng ships versus the

1350
00:46:23,649 --> 00:46:26,786
port lng ship, to say no to lng

1351
00:46:26,786 --> 00:46:29,355
is to say no to clean air

1352
00:46:29,355 --> 00:46:31,355
emission cleaner ships.

1353
00:46:31,691 --> 00:46:32,291
I like to read one line to you

1354
00:46:32,291 --> 00:46:33,893
from environmental pollution.

1355
00:46:33,893 --> 00:46:35,194
It'

1356
00:46:35,194 --> 00:46:35,762
s an international journal

1357
00:46:35,762 --> 00:46:37,762
that publishes high-quality

1358
00:46:38,297 --> 00:46:38,631
research on the environmental

1359
00:46:38,631 --> 00:46:40,631
pollution act.

1360
00:46:43,102 --> 00:46:45,137
The rescind paper said results

1361
00:46:45,137 --> 00:46:48,137
show that particulate matter and

1362
00:46:48,307 --> 00:46:51,307
carbon dioxide were reduced by

1363
00:46:53,790 --> 00:46:54,447
93%, 97%, 92% and 18%

1364
00:46:54,447 --> 00:46:54,914
respectively from switching to

1365
00:46:54,914 --> 00:46:57,150
diesel to natural gas.

1366
00:46:57,150 --> 00:46:58,651
Reductions provide a valuable

1367
00:46:58,651 --> 00:47:00,486
tool for the miniport community

1368
00:47:00,486 --> 00:47:02,886
struggling with their qualities.

1369
00:47:02,922 --> 00:47:07,122
If you want to have an immediate

1370
00:47:09,795 --> 00:47:11,397
impact from ships in terms of

1371
00:47:11,397 --> 00:47:12,998
reducing emission on local

1372
00:47:12,998 --> 00:47:13,206
communities, you need to embrace

1373
00:47:13,206 --> 00:47:13,432
lng.

1374
00:47:13,432 --> 00:47:15,432
Thank you.

1375
00:47:18,638 --> 00:47:19,972
>> I am just going to make a

1376
00:47:19,972 --> 00:47:22,972
couple of statements, and that

1377
00:47:23,943 --> 00:47:25,178
is that I, our other

1378
00:47:25,178 --> 00:47:25,612
commissioners and top management

1379
00:47:25,612 --> 00:47:28,120
lives in long beach.

1380
00:47:29,315 --> 00:47:30,383
The decisions we make every day,

1381
00:47:30,383 --> 00:47:33,119
we keep the community in mind.

1382
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:33,352
I understand you don'

1383
00:47:33,352 --> 00:47:34,921
t always

1384
00:47:34,921 --> 00:47:36,922
agree with us on technology or

1385
00:47:36,922 --> 00:47:37,523
timeline, but please don'

1386
00:47:37,523 --> 00:47:39,125
t think

1387
00:47:39,125 --> 00:47:39,338
for a minute that we don'

1388
00:47:39,338 --> 00:47:40,393
t care

1389
00:47:40,393 --> 00:47:40,612
about the community and we don'

1390
00:47:40,612 --> 00:47:42,612
t

1391
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:45,464
make decisions -- and we make

1392
00:47:45,464 --> 00:47:45,798
decisions with the community in

1393
00:47:45,798 --> 00:47:47,798
mind.

1394
00:47:48,334 --> 00:47:50,135
The other thing I said I will

1395
00:47:50,135 --> 00:47:53,105
expand on just a little, that is

1396
00:47:53,105 --> 00:47:57,305
we have no plans to build fossil

1397
00:47:57,811 --> 00:47:59,478
fuel infrastructure.

1398
00:47:59,478 --> 00:48:02,748
We see lng as a transitional

1399
00:48:02,748 --> 00:48:04,830
fuel, but that is not what we

1400
00:48:04,830 --> 00:48:04,917
will invest in.

1401
00:48:04,917 --> 00:48:07,917
please understand and know that.

1402
00:48:09,655 --> 00:48:11,557
Having said that, we will go to

1403
00:48:11,557 --> 00:48:13,125
the consent agenda,

1404
00:48:13,125 --> 00:48:14,694
commissioners, are there any

1405
00:48:14,694 --> 00:48:15,940
questions or comments on items

1406
00:48:15,940 --> 00:48:17,940
one through four?

1407
00:48:17,964 --> 00:48:18,171
>> can I just comment on this

1408
00:48:18,171 --> 00:48:20,171
item?

1409
00:48:20,933 --> 00:48:22,933
>> yes.

1410
00:48:23,350 --> 00:48:24,604
Quick thank you MADAM PRESIDENT.

1411
00:48:24,604 --> 00:48:25,372
I want to thank the

1412
00:48:25,372 --> 00:48:27,772
environmental advocacy for the

1413
00:48:28,741 --> 00:48:31,741
energy to make this work.

1414
00:48:33,813 --> 00:48:34,370
There was a study in reference

1415
00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:36,370
today.

1416
00:48:36,816 --> 00:48:37,817
Just to keep it in proper

1417
00:48:37,817 --> 00:48:40,217
perspective, the state of

1418
00:48:42,355 --> 00:48:44,355
california has 58 counties.

1419
00:48:46,759 --> 00:48:49,759
Per that report of the 58

1420
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:51,497
counties, 55 received a -- , not

1421
00:48:51,497 --> 00:48:53,533
just L.A. County.

1422
00:48:53,533 --> 00:48:57,103
There were three counties to the

1423
00:48:57,103 --> 00:48:57,570
north, yolo being one of them,

1424
00:48:57,570 --> 00:49:01,170
that did not get an f.

1425
00:49:01,607 --> 00:49:01,908
They were california counties.

1426
00:49:01,908 --> 00:49:03,908
The point I'

1427
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:07,413
m trying to make is

1428
00:49:07,413 --> 00:49:09,813
there are 15 million registered

1429
00:49:09,882 --> 00:49:10,216
heavy duty trucks in the state

1430
00:49:10,216 --> 00:49:12,216
of california.

1431
00:49:13,786 --> 00:49:17,560
On any given day there is 1.8

1432
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:17,890
million trucks -- heavy-duty

1433
00:49:17,890 --> 00:49:20,290
trucks on california highways.

1434
00:49:25,264 --> 00:49:26,632
Percentage of trucks is --

1435
00:49:26,632 --> 00:49:29,602
compared to that number, which

1436
00:49:29,602 --> 00:49:32,602
tells us that the environmental

1437
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:36,109
advocacy was definitely on point

1438
00:49:36,109 --> 00:49:37,110
when it comes to transportation

1439
00:49:37,110 --> 00:49:38,744
being a major factor.

1440
00:49:38,744 --> 00:49:40,744
Across-the-board.

1441
00:49:48,421 --> 00:49:50,523
In fact, 40% the point on child

1442
00:49:50,523 --> 00:49:53,523
-- china make is twofold.

1443
00:49:57,363 --> 00:49:58,364
The complex includes our

1444
00:49:58,364 --> 00:50:00,764
colleagues over the bridge.

1445
00:50:03,703 --> 00:50:05,805
Having been formal CHAIRMAN, I

1446
00:50:05,805 --> 00:50:09,109
could tell you that the san

1447
00:50:09,109 --> 00:50:12,411
pedro paper ports are far ahead

1448
00:50:12,411 --> 00:50:16,611
of any gateway in the country of

1449
00:50:17,450 --> 00:50:18,885
what the request is that the

1450
00:50:18,885 --> 00:50:21,885
goal is your emission by 2030.

1451
00:50:24,357 --> 00:50:26,826
hence, in my view, to make this

1452
00:50:26,826 --> 00:50:30,426
a better world, and from a

1453
00:50:30,931 --> 00:50:33,866
domestic one, the usa, that

1454
00:50:33,866 --> 00:50:34,901
mayor made a statement in regard

1455
00:50:34,901 --> 00:50:36,901
to our competition.

1456
00:50:38,337 --> 00:50:39,806
The back of the matter is we are

1457
00:50:39,806 --> 00:50:41,808
an economic engine not just for

1458
00:50:41,808 --> 00:50:42,341
the region prefer the state of

1459
00:50:42,341 --> 00:50:44,741
california and an economic

1460
00:50:45,211 --> 00:50:47,611
engine that emphasis essential

1461
00:50:48,881 --> 00:50:50,283
percentage of our revenue to our

1462
00:50:50,283 --> 00:50:50,851
mental sustainable -- our

1463
00:50:50,851 --> 00:50:53,851
competitors do not do that.

1464
00:50:55,822 --> 00:50:56,556
So I would encourage the

1465
00:50:56,556 --> 00:50:58,956
environmental advocacy not only

1466
00:51:01,270 --> 00:51:03,930
to continue to -- well intended

1467
00:51:03,930 --> 00:51:05,665
advocacy, but that advocacy

1468
00:51:05,665 --> 00:51:07,133
should be directed to other

1469
00:51:07,133 --> 00:51:09,702
ports in the nation, which are

1470
00:51:09,702 --> 00:51:10,837
substantial contributor to

1471
00:51:10,837 --> 00:51:12,380
harmful emissions and do not

1472
00:51:12,380 --> 00:51:14,374
have the policies that the san

1473
00:51:14,374 --> 00:51:16,142
pedro reports two.

1474
00:51:16,142 --> 00:51:16,576
That'

1475
00:51:16,576 --> 00:51:20,176
s one way to address our

1476
00:51:20,647 --> 00:51:21,214
competitive edge to get these

1477
00:51:21,214 --> 00:51:23,850
other ports in the nation to

1478
00:51:23,850 --> 00:51:26,850
direct their revenue and their

1479
00:51:28,154 --> 00:51:28,721
interest in reducing harmful

1480
00:51:28,721 --> 00:51:31,721
emissions for which we have

1481
00:51:31,858 --> 00:51:33,826
common ground and we are on the

1482
00:51:33,826 --> 00:51:35,662
same page.

1483
00:51:35,662 --> 00:51:37,130
The last thing I will say, as it

1484
00:51:37,130 --> 00:51:39,130
relates to transportation,

1485
00:51:40,500 --> 00:51:42,500
currently 2% of california

1486
00:51:43,870 --> 00:51:45,805
vehicles today are zero

1487
00:51:45,805 --> 00:51:47,774
emission.

1488
00:51:47,774 --> 00:51:51,974
To the point, I think those of

1489
00:51:52,450 --> 00:51:53,313
us, in particular this port,

1490
00:51:53,313 --> 00:51:55,713
will lead by example.

1491
00:51:56,416 --> 00:51:57,216
As you know we are converting

1492
00:51:57,216 --> 00:51:57,817
all plates at the time

1493
00:51:57,817 --> 00:52:00,217
appropriate to zero emission.

1494
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:06,292
So it seems to me we need to

1495
00:52:06,292 --> 00:52:06,927
join on full-court press to have

1496
00:52:06,927 --> 00:52:09,796
our society transition to zero

1497
00:52:09,796 --> 00:52:10,797
emission.

1498
00:52:10,797 --> 00:52:12,797
There'

1499
00:52:13,132 --> 00:52:15,101
s 55 of the 58 counties

1500
00:52:15,101 --> 00:52:15,468
that received an f in this air

1501
00:52:15,468 --> 00:52:17,468
study reference.

1502
00:52:19,172 --> 00:52:21,572
The more importantly, with

1503
00:52:22,108 --> 00:52:23,877
regard to heavy-duty trucks, I

1504
00:52:23,877 --> 00:52:24,444
would encourage, at the national

1505
00:52:24,444 --> 00:52:26,844
level, for the environmental

1506
00:52:28,681 --> 00:52:30,884
community to focus at those

1507
00:52:30,884 --> 00:52:31,951
ports that would strive to

1508
00:52:31,951 --> 00:52:33,853
receive or obtain their cargo

1509
00:52:33,853 --> 00:52:37,123
that comes in through the most

1510
00:52:37,123 --> 00:52:39,523
important gateway to direct

1511
00:52:41,794 --> 00:52:43,960
those ports to have a green

1512
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,960
truck plan to reduce their

1513
00:52:46,399 --> 00:52:48,799
emissions from their operations

1514
00:52:49,636 --> 00:52:50,971
and to have a -- as we do here

1515
00:52:50,971 --> 00:52:51,217
to strive for zero emissions.

1516
00:52:51,217 --> 00:52:53,390
That'

1517
00:52:53,390 --> 00:52:55,410
s the way that we will be

1518
00:52:55,410 --> 00:52:56,276
able to not only make this a

1519
00:52:56,276 --> 00:52:59,120
better world, but have the

1520
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,981
united states be a leader when

1521
00:53:00,981 --> 00:53:01,481
it comes to reducing emissions

1522
00:53:01,481 --> 00:53:03,481
and important gateways.

1523
00:53:04,584 --> 00:53:06,584
>> thank you.

1524
00:53:08,588 --> 00:53:08,822
That brings us to our consent

1525
00:53:08,822 --> 00:53:10,822
agenda.

1526
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:13,593
Commissioners, any questions on

1527
00:53:13,593 --> 00:53:15,993
items one through four?

1528
00:53:17,697 --> 00:53:19,650
Is there any public comment?

1529
00:53:19,650 --> 00:53:21,650
>> no, MADAM PRESIDENT.

1530
00:53:22,569 --> 00:53:23,690
>> is there a motion to approve

1531
00:53:23,690 --> 00:53:25,469
items one through four?

1532

00:54:33,673 --> 00:54:34,700
>> good afternoon PRESIDENT And

1560
00:54:34,700 --> 00:54:35,641
commissioners.

1561
00:54:35,641 --> 00:54:36,142
I am the arms director of

1562
00:54:36,142 --> 00:54:38,142
environmental planning.

1563
00:54:38,745 --> 00:54:40,280
Today staff is requesting that

1564
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,882
the board approve entering into

1565
00:54:42,882 --> 00:54:44,151

voucher incentive program.

1569
00:54:52,459 --> 00:54:53,293
As you will recall, on NOVEMBER

1570
00:54:53,293 --> 00:54:55,693
22, 2021 the board approve the

1571
00:54:57,197 --> 00:54:59,597
chair implementing their claim

1572
00:55:00,667 --> 00:55:01,668
chuck fund rate of $10 per tpu

1573
00:55:01,668 --> 00:55:02,235
for the pickup and drop-off of

1574
00:55:02,235 --> 00:55:04,635
loaded containers by truck.

1575
00:55:05,772 --> 00:55:07,141
The ctf rate is an important

1576
00:55:07,141 --> 00:55:10,141
strategy identified in the clean

1577
00:55:11,144 --> 00:55:12,112
air action plan 2017 update that

1578
00:55:12,112 --> 00:55:15,282
is generating funds to be used

1579
00:55:15,282 --> 00:55:16,449
to accelerate the transition to

1580
00:55:16,449 --> 00:55:18,449
zero emission by 2035.

1581
00:55:19,886 --> 00:55:22,923
The collection of this etf rate

1582
00:55:22,923 --> 00:55:24,491
commenced on APRIL 1, 2022,

1583
00:55:24,491 --> 00:55:25,158
almost 40 million is expected to

1584
00:55:25,158 --> 00:55:28,462
be collected by the port of long

1585
00:55:28,462 --> 00:55:29,796
beach the first year with 80

1586
00:55:29,796 --> 00:55:30,630
million collected between the

1587
00:55:30,630 --> 00:55:32,630
two ports.

1588
00:55:33,233 --> 00:55:33,867
We are forecasting as much as

1589
00:55:33,867 --> 00:55:36,867
150 million will be collected by

1590
00:55:36,937 --> 00:55:39,337
both ports by JANUARY 2024.

1591
00:55:42,375 --> 00:55:43,877
To date, the port has allocated

1592
00:55:43,877 --> 00:55:44,411
approximately two half-million

1593
00:55:44,411 --> 00:55:44,628
dollars of those collected

1594
00:55:44,628 --> 00:55:46,628
funds.

1595
00:55:49,282 --> 00:55:49,850
Current rate, demand -- the

1596
00:55:49,850 --> 00:55:52,850
demand for vouchers is low.

1597
00:55:53,220 --> 00:55:56,220
Last SEPTEMBER they released an

1598
00:55:57,424 --> 00:55:59,824
initial $5 million voucher with

1599
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,628
the initial solicitation for $5

1600
00:56:01,628 --> 00:56:03,960
million with the voucher through

1601
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:03,597
the zero in emission truck and

1602
00:56:03,597 --> 00:56:06,597
bus voucher for h meth.

1603
00:56:07,667 --> 00:56:11,267
This list -- for a trip.

1604
00:56:14,407 --> 00:56:14,711
Quest for vouchers being

1605
00:56:14,711 --> 00:56:16,711
received.

1606
00:56:16,777 --> 00:56:18,178
Furthermore there was still $79

1607
00:56:18,178 --> 00:56:19,846
million of unallocated funds for

1608
00:56:19,846 --> 00:56:22,846
fiscal year 2021 in the program.

1609
00:56:23,851 --> 00:56:25,819
Next slide.

1610
00:56:25,819 --> 00:56:28,588
The low demand for truck

1611
00:56:28,588 --> 00:56:30,190
vouchers is likely due to

1612
00:56:30,190 --> 00:56:32,920
several factors, including

1613
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,628
increasing truck costs, the lack

1614
00:56:34,628 --> 00:56:36,563
of availability and projected at

1615
00:56:36,563 --> 00:56:38,963
-- and production constraints,

1616
00:56:39,432 --> 00:56:39,966
concerns over truck performance

1617
00:56:39,966 --> 00:56:41,966
and range.

1618
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:43,837
The lack of zero emission

1619
00:56:43,837 --> 00:56:45,772
infrastructure and challenges

1620
00:56:45,772 --> 00:56:47,575
with installation at depots.

1621
00:56:47,575 --> 00:56:51,175
Due to the low initial demand,

1622
00:56:52,412 --> 00:56:53,280
port stack -- staff work to

1623
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,749
modify our original framework of

1624
00:56:55,749 --> 00:56:58,685
the program from providing more

1625
00:56:58,685 --> 00:56:59,252
of the standard vouchers to

1626
00:56:59,252 --> 00:57:01,252
instead provide supplemental

1627
00:57:02,856 --> 00:57:04,591
vouchers or close ups to carbs

1628
00:57:04,591 --> 00:57:04,958
standard 150 thousand dollars

1629
00:57:04,958 --> 00:57:06,958
voucher program.

1630
00:57:07,694 --> 00:57:09,996
The plus ups for provide an

1631
00:57:09,996 --> 00:57:11,996
additional $75,000 per truck,

1632
00:57:13,166 --> 00:57:14,534
small ones of less than 10

1633
00:57:14,534 --> 00:57:16,934
trucks would receive additional

1634
00:57:17,537 --> 00:57:19,139
$25,000 incentive per truck.

1635
00:57:19,139 --> 00:57:22,139
We believe that the additional

1636
00:57:22,843 --> 00:57:23,543
amounts will help in part to

1637
00:57:23,543 --> 00:57:24,770
counter react to the increasing

1638
00:57:24,770 --> 00:57:26,477
cost and increased demand.

1639
00:57:27,581 --> 00:57:29,349
In addition, the availability of

1640
00:57:29,349 --> 00:57:30,751
production constraints are some

1641
00:57:30,751 --> 00:57:31,418
that showing signs of

1642
00:57:31,418 --> 00:57:33,418
improvement.

1643
00:57:33,621 --> 00:57:34,622
We have started seeing

1644
00:57:34,622 --> 00:57:35,880
increasing numbers of zero

1645
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,880
emission trucks enter.

1646
00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:39,693
Now up to 82 battery electric

1647
00:57:39,693 --> 00:57:39,926
trucks and three fuel-cell

1648
00:57:39,926 --> 00:57:41,926
trucks.

1649
00:57:43,563 --> 00:57:45,599
The port of long beach has been

1650
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:47,668
actively supporting efforts to

1651
00:57:47,668 --> 00:57:48,201
increase the availability of

1652
00:57:48,201 --> 00:57:50,201
public ability heavy-duty

1653
00:57:50,637 --> 00:57:52,637
charging.

1654
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:53,941
As you will recall we recently

1655
00:57:53,941 --> 00:57:56,941
entered into leases for property

1656
00:57:59,646 --> 00:58:00,481
within the port for providing

1657
00:58:00,481 --> 00:58:01,348
heavy-duty charging and we are

1658
00:58:01,348 --> 00:58:03,283
prepared to release two

1659
00:58:03,283 --> 00:58:03,550
additional charging sites later

1660
00:58:03,550 --> 00:58:05,550
this year.

1661
00:58:08,722 --> 00:58:11,491
As a trucks get out on the road

1662
00:58:11,491 --> 00:58:12,192
and become more familiar, we

1663
00:58:12,192 --> 00:58:12,526
anticipate increased acceptance

1664
00:58:12,526 --> 00:58:14,526
and adoption.

1665
00:58:17,430 --> 00:58:19,866
Staff will continue to closely

1666
00:58:19,866 --> 00:58:20,501
monitor the proposed program and

1667
00:58:20,501 --> 00:58:22,901
recommend adjustments as needed.

1668
00:58:23,671 --> 00:58:26,440
We anticipate returning to the

1669
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,440
board with our two-year plan,

1670
00:58:29,643 --> 00:58:30,243
two plus year funding plan,

1671
00:58:30,243 --> 00:58:32,243
including our recommendations

1672
00:58:32,245 --> 00:58:33,313
for how to target the funding to

1673
00:58:33,313 --> 00:58:33,981
report and accelerate the

1674
00:58:33,981 --> 00:58:36,381
transition to zero mission

1675
00:58:36,650 --> 00:58:36,884
trucks in the coming board

1676
00:58:36,884 --> 00:58:38,884
meeting.

1677
00:58:39,753 --> 00:58:43,353
Finally, I want to know that

1678
00:58:43,657 --> 00:58:44,257
this contract with cow start

1679
00:58:44,257 --> 00:58:47,257
merges -- mirrors the contract

1680
00:58:49,496 --> 00:58:50,130
between them including 100

1681
00:58:50,130 --> 00:58:52,130
$50,000 limitation of liability

1682
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:54,340
provision, none for

1683
00:58:54,340 --> 00:58:55,936
consequential, indirect,

1684
00:58:55,936 --> 00:58:58,336
incidental, or except lemon

1685
00:59:02,750 --> 00:59:04,277
sieve damages provision and in

1686
00:59:04,277 --> 00:59:05,813
the event of breach of contract,

1687
00:59:05,813 --> 00:59:07,813
negligence or fraud.

1688
00:59:08,949 --> 00:59:10,417
That concludes my staff report

1689
00:59:10,417 --> 00:59:10,684
and I am happy to answer any

1690
00:59:10,684 --> 00:59:12,684
questions.

1691
00:59:13,687 --> 00:59:16,870
>> thank you, MR. Arms.

1692
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:16,991
Thank you for this report, I

1693
00:59:16,991 --> 00:59:19,960
have expressed to staff my

1694
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,863
concern that they are only

1695
00:59:22,863 --> 00:59:25,999
required to stay in service to

1696
00:59:25,999 --> 00:59:28,468
the port of long beach and los

1697
00:59:28,468 --> 00:59:29,403
angeles for three years.

1698
00:59:29,403 --> 00:59:29,903
So my understanding -- but I

1699
00:59:29,903 --> 00:59:31,710
don'

1700
00:59:31,710 --> 00:59:33,240
t want to hold this program

1701
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,775
up because we are all eager to

1702
00:59:34,775 --> 00:59:35,275
be able to support the purchase

1703
00:59:35,275 --> 00:59:37,675
of zero mission trucks.

1704
00:59:37,811 --> 00:59:39,313
So I have asked staff that at

1705
00:59:39,313 --> 00:59:40,714
the end of three years, this

1706
00:59:40,714 --> 00:59:41,140
will have to go back to us

1707
00:59:41,140 --> 00:59:41,381
because it'

1708
00:59:41,381 --> 00:59:44,381
s only a three year

1709
00:59:44,451 --> 00:59:45,519
agreement, but that we track

1710
00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:48,655
carefully we see a drop off of

1711
00:59:48,655 --> 00:59:49,556
these calling at the ports of

1712
00:59:49,556 --> 00:59:52,556
long beach in los angeles.

1713
00:59:52,626 --> 00:59:53,461
And if we do, to make a change

1714
00:59:53,461 --> 00:59:54,127
in the program.

1715
00:59:54,127 --> 00:59:54,695
Obviously we won'

1716
00:59:54,695 --> 00:59:57,950
t be able to

1717
00:59:57,798 --> 00:59:59,133
make it retroactively, but I

1718
00:59:59,133 --> 01:00:01,935
look forward to reports as this

1719
01:00:01,935 --> 01:00:03,637
program rolls out on truck

1720
01:00:03,637 --> 01:00:05,806
purchases and how often they are

1721
01:00:05,806 --> 01:00:06,110
calling at the ports and I thank

1722
01:00:06,110 --> 01:00:07,574
you.

1723
01:00:07,574 --> 01:00:10,574
Are there any other comments?

1724
01:00:12,446 --> 01:00:13,147
>> thank you.

1725
01:00:13,147 --> 01:00:16,147
Thank you for your report.

1726
01:00:17,551 --> 01:00:19,153
One of the things I am hoping we

1727
01:00:19,153 --> 01:00:23,353
can come back at in the near

1728
01:00:23,924 --> 01:00:26,827
future and maybe have a study

1729
01:00:26,827 --> 01:00:27,995
session, the difficulty is we

1730
01:00:27,995 --> 01:00:30,395
are in a conundrum.

1731
01:00:30,865 --> 01:00:33,000
The vehicles are not being made

1732
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,350
and yet, as I mentioned earlier

1733
01:00:35,350 --> 01:00:37,671
in our meeting is we collect

1734
01:00:37,671 --> 01:00:37,882
funds whether it'

1735
01:00:37,882 --> 01:00:39,806
s our

1736
01:00:39,806 --> 01:00:40,900
application to distribute those

1737
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:42,900
funds.

1738
01:00:44,111 --> 01:00:44,678
Not just look to banking them,

1739
01:00:44,678 --> 01:00:45,813
which is something we don'

1740
01:00:45,813 --> 01:00:47,470
t know

1741
01:00:47,470 --> 01:00:47,614
pa lot about.

1742
01:00:47,614 --> 01:00:51,814
But I do know that there are

1743
01:00:53,154 --> 01:00:53,787
hybrid diesel trucks that are

1744
01:00:53,787 --> 01:00:55,787
available.

1745
01:00:56,623 --> 01:01:00,270
And I think also it would be

1746
01:01:00,270 --> 01:01:02,262
good if we have the opportunity

1747
01:01:02,262 --> 01:01:02,830
to basically get an overview of

1748
01:01:02,830 --> 01:01:06,430
just where we stand for the

1749
01:01:06,801 --> 01:01:07,801
future production of any type of

1750
01:01:07,801 --> 01:01:10,201
heavy-duty vehicle that will

1751
01:01:10,204 --> 01:01:13,804
serve a purpose of the port.

1752
01:01:16,477 --> 01:01:16,777
At this point it'

1753
01:01:16,777 --> 01:01:17,811
s floating

1754
01:01:17,811 --> 01:01:20,211
along without really any

1755
01:01:21,482 --> 01:01:21,709
definitive answers and I'

1756
01:01:21,709 --> 01:01:23,709
m

1757
01:01:24,785 --> 01:01:25,419
amazed there is $75 million

1758
01:01:25,419 --> 01:01:27,819
still available for vouchers.

1759
01:01:32,493 --> 01:01:36,930
And of course the difficulty is

1760
01:01:37,164 --> 01:01:38,132
with electric vehicles, their

1761
01:01:38,132 --> 01:01:40,132
connectivity, their distance,

1762
01:01:41,201 --> 01:01:43,171
where can they recharge?

1763
01:01:43,171 --> 01:01:45,172
Especially one of the things --

1764
01:01:45,172 --> 01:01:47,508
which actually a trucker brought

1765
01:01:47,508 --> 01:01:49,243
up to me not too long ago, but

1766
01:01:49,243 --> 01:01:52,179
if you have an electric vehicle,

1767
01:01:52,179 --> 01:01:54,481
we are in the dead of winter and

1768
01:01:54,481 --> 01:01:55,416
go across the grapevine and he

1769
01:01:55,416 --> 01:01:55,622
ran out of energy and you don'

1770
01:01:55,622 --> 01:01:57,622
t

1771
01:01:59,253 --> 01:02:01,253
have recharging opportunities

1772
01:02:02,857 --> 01:02:07,570
there, you are in a real mess.

1773
01:02:08,329 --> 01:02:10,264
So I would like, if we can,

1774
01:02:10,264 --> 01:02:13,133
mario, if we could just get a

1775
01:02:13,133 --> 01:02:13,567
study session, where is the

1776
01:02:13,567 --> 01:02:14,835
industry right now?

1777
01:02:14,835 --> 01:02:16,871
I think we talked about this

1778
01:02:16,871 --> 01:02:20,471
before where we wanted to have

1779
01:02:23,511 --> 01:02:24,745
some type of a exhibition with

1780
01:02:24,745 --> 01:02:26,130
the products that are available

1781
01:02:26,130 --> 01:02:26,714
so we can all learn what'

1782
01:02:26,714 --> 01:02:26,947
s going

1783
01:02:26,947 --> 01:02:28,947
on.

1784
01:02:30,818 --> 01:02:32,286
At this point, we can overrate

1785
01:02:32,286 --> 01:02:32,920
everything, but what we

1786
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:33,153
accomplishes very little in the

1787
01:02:33,153 --> 01:02:35,153
process.

1788
01:02:35,522 --> 01:02:36,824
>> that'

1789
01:02:36,824 --> 01:02:37,157
s a good point,

1790
01:02:37,157 --> 01:02:39,157
commissioner.

1791
01:02:42,497 --> 01:02:43,131
Related to that, we are

1792
01:02:43,131 --> 01:02:45,531
scheduling the second component

1793
01:02:45,966 --> 01:02:47,534
of the greek port festival or

1794
01:02:47,534 --> 01:02:49,534
creek port fair.

1795
01:02:49,737 --> 01:02:53,173
As you MAY recall, we had

1796
01:02:53,173 --> 01:02:54,341
communications -- which was

1797
01:02:54,341 --> 01:02:56,944
scary as a last-minute plan to

1798
01:02:56,944 --> 01:02:59,944
have one late last year.

1799
01:03:01,815 --> 01:03:05,119
But this year we will have a

1800
01:03:05,119 --> 01:03:06,153
major quest to have cream port

1801
01:03:06,153 --> 01:03:06,354
fair to mirror what we had years

1802
01:03:06,354 --> 01:03:08,354
ago.

1803
01:03:09,791 --> 01:03:10,324
The to do exactly what you just

1804
01:03:10,324 --> 01:03:12,724
said, to demonstrate the

1805
01:03:14,862 --> 01:03:15,710
progress on whether it'

1806
01:03:15,710 --> 01:03:17,710
s

1807
01:03:17,331 --> 01:03:20,331
vehicles are moving towards a

1808
01:03:21,802 --> 01:03:24,202
mission, or reduced omission.

1809
01:03:24,271 --> 01:03:24,839
With that, one of the things we

1810
01:03:24,839 --> 01:03:25,490
have looked at, and I'

1811
01:03:25,490 --> 01:03:27,490
ve talked

1812
01:03:28,943 --> 01:03:31,912
to staff, there are certain type

1813
01:03:31,912 --> 01:03:33,814
vehicles, as I indicated, our

1814
01:03:33,814 --> 01:03:34,415
priorities to move towards

1815
01:03:34,415 --> 01:03:36,684
during emission, there MAY be

1816
01:03:36,684 --> 01:03:39,553
some vehicles that we will

1817
01:03:39,553 --> 01:03:39,987
continue in the hybrid mode for

1818
01:03:39,987 --> 01:03:41,987
a particular reason.

1819
01:03:42,890 --> 01:03:44,658
One is to make sure we take

1820
01:03:44,658 --> 01:03:44,882
advantage of reducing emissions

1821
01:03:44,882 --> 01:03:46,882
today.

1822
01:03:49,697 --> 01:03:49,962
Second, practically it'

1823
01:03:49,962 --> 01:03:50,364
s

1824
01:03:50,364 --> 01:03:52,633
advantageous to our budget, so

1825
01:03:52,633 --> 01:03:55,633
to speak, at some point.

1826
01:03:55,936 --> 01:03:57,838
With that, we certainly will

1827
01:03:57,838 --> 01:04:01,438
have that discussion, but at the

1828
01:04:03,677 --> 01:04:07,277
fair/festival this year, we will

1829
01:04:08,449 --> 01:04:09,817
have an demonstrating mode, not

1830
01:04:09,817 --> 01:04:12,217
just equipment, but vehicles

1831
01:04:12,653 --> 01:04:13,154
assisting in our quest to reduce

1832
01:04:13,154 --> 01:04:15,154
emissions.

1833
01:04:16,557 --> 01:04:18,920
This will be a very informative

1834
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:18,993
event we will have for the

1835
01:04:18,993 --> 01:04:19,260
community and neighborhood later

1836
01:04:19,260 --> 01:04:21,260
this year.

1837
01:04:22,496 --> 01:04:22,931
I think it will be OCTOBER.

1838
01:04:22,931 --> 01:04:23,631
I don'

1839
01:04:23,631 --> 01:04:25,166
t know.

1840
01:04:25,166 --> 01:04:25,372
What are we looking to right

1841
01:04:25,372 --> 01:04:27,372
now?

1842
01:04:28,869 --> 01:04:29,737
And maybe you can elaborate a

1843
01:04:29,737 --> 01:04:30,104
little bit more in terms of what

1844
01:04:30,104 --> 01:04:32,104
we have planned.

1845
01:04:36,644 --> 01:04:38,644
>> yes, good afternoon,

1846
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:39,688
PRESIDENT, commissioners and

1847
01:04:39,688 --> 01:04:41,688
mario.

1848
01:04:46,287 --> 01:04:48,122
We are doing this OCTOBER 5 and

1849
01:04:48,122 --> 01:04:48,856
it will be larger and we are

1850
01:04:48,856 --> 01:04:50,856
working with environmental

1851
01:04:50,925 --> 01:04:52,693
planning at all of our

1852
01:04:52,693 --> 01:04:53,294
colleagues in the various to

1853
01:04:53,294 --> 01:04:56,294
stash divisions to get the

1854
01:04:56,897 --> 01:04:59,701
equipment to tell the story of

1855
01:04:59,701 --> 01:05:01,869
all of our great initiatives and

1856
01:05:01,869 --> 01:05:02,336
to make this a really robust and

1857
01:05:02,336 --> 01:05:04,336
large community event.

1858
01:05:06,708 --> 01:05:07,541
So we are underway with the

1859
01:05:07,541 --> 01:05:07,784
planning, and that'

1860
01:05:07,784 --> 01:05:08,209
s what I can

1861
01:05:08,209 --> 01:05:10,609
share at this time.

1862
01:05:13,815 --> 01:05:16,215
>> OCTOBER 5 is a thursday.

1863
01:05:17,818 --> 01:05:19,818
Thank you.

1864
01:05:20,655 --> 01:05:20,921
>> happy to answer any other

1865
01:05:20,921 --> 01:05:22,921
questions.

1866
01:05:30,231 --> 01:05:31,132
>> such as think that it'

1867
01:05:31,132 --> 01:05:33,132
s so

1868
01:05:33,301 --> 01:05:36,370
difficult right now to but our

1869
01:05:36,370 --> 01:05:36,671
hands around all of those speech

1870
01:05:36,671 --> 01:05:41,471
in the throes of all of what we

1871
01:05:41,809 --> 01:05:44,678
are hearing and how people want

1872
01:05:44,678 --> 01:05:45,460
us to drive a fast pace into the

1873
01:05:45,460 --> 01:05:47,460
zero emissions.

1874
01:05:50,751 --> 01:05:51,352
>> I understand, it is very

1875
01:05:51,352 --> 01:05:53,752
challenging, it absolutely is.

1876
01:05:55,189 --> 01:05:56,123
As I mentioned, one of our

1877
01:05:56,123 --> 01:05:56,691
commitments with the clean truck

1878
01:05:56,691 --> 01:06:00,127
fund rate is to come to the

1879
01:06:00,127 --> 01:06:03,727
board on a yearly basis and

1880
01:06:04,265 --> 01:06:05,233
provide you with an update on

1881
01:06:05,233 --> 01:06:07,168
where we are.

1882
01:06:07,168 --> 01:06:08,202
Where we are in the number of

1883
01:06:08,202 --> 01:06:08,502
zero mission trucks, where we

1884
01:06:08,502 --> 01:06:10,502
aren'

1885
01:06:11,606 --> 01:06:13,207
t spending the money, and

1886
01:06:13,207 --> 01:06:16,207
where we are recommending we

1887
01:06:17,110 --> 01:06:18,120
focus the money on tickets year

1888
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:18,879
point of making sure we are just

1889
01:06:18,879 --> 01:06:19,313
not collecting that money and

1890
01:06:19,313 --> 01:06:21,713
unable to spend it.

1891
01:06:23,117 --> 01:06:23,751
We want to make sure we are

1892
01:06:23,751 --> 01:06:25,887
targeting our expenditures that

1893
01:06:25,887 --> 01:06:26,121
will advance zero mission

1894
01:06:26,121 --> 01:06:28,121
trucks.

1895
01:06:31,250 --> 01:06:32,326
We are finalizing

1896
01:06:32,326 --> 01:06:33,940
recommendations now, so that

1897
01:06:33,940 --> 01:06:33,494
will be coming to you in the

1898
01:06:33,494 --> 01:06:35,494
very near future.

1899
01:06:39,901 --> 01:06:40,535
So probably won'

1900
01:06:40,535 --> 01:06:41,803
t be able to

1901
01:06:41,803 --> 01:06:42,236
address all of those questions

1902
01:06:42,236 --> 01:06:44,636
that you brought up.

1903
01:06:47,742 --> 01:06:51,342
>> thinks, I think it will be

1904
01:06:52,413 --> 01:06:54,182
very informative if we can get

1905
01:06:54,182 --> 01:06:57,782
the industry to cup up with

1906
01:06:57,885 --> 01:06:59,885
chill solution.

1907
01:07:01,289 --> 01:07:04,889
Kwuex we added a number to

1908
01:07:04,959 --> 01:07:05,893
recognize a following of what I

1909
01:07:05,893 --> 01:07:08,620
said in the prior public

1910
01:07:08,620 --> 01:07:10,620
commentary.

1911
01:07:11,999 --> 01:07:13,968
We have about 20,000 edging up

1912
01:07:13,968 --> 01:07:15,968
to 21,000 trucks.

1913
01:07:19,307 --> 01:07:19,974
We look at that number compared

1914
01:07:19,974 --> 01:07:20,475
to everyday trucks registered in

1915
01:07:20,475 --> 01:07:22,875
the state of california.

1916
01:07:26,848 --> 01:07:27,123
That number is 15 million.

1917
01:07:27,123 --> 01:07:29,123
It'

1918
01:07:31,753 --> 01:07:33,540
s for that reason is that is

1919
01:07:33,540 --> 01:07:34,322
compared to the heavy-duty

1920
01:07:34,322 --> 01:07:34,922
trucks on the road every day

1921
01:07:34,922 --> 01:07:37,922
with the state of california.

1922
01:07:40,428 --> 01:07:43,164
But nevertheless, I think given

1923
01:07:43,164 --> 01:07:46,764
what you are hearing today in

1924
01:07:46,868 --> 01:07:48,603
terms of our quest to do

1925
01:07:48,603 --> 01:07:49,171
everything we can to sent device

1926
01:07:49,171 --> 01:07:52,771
to zero, it is a challenge.

1927
01:07:53,700 --> 01:07:56,110
I think the number right now I

1928
01:07:56,110 --> 01:07:58,746
have is of the 21,000 registered

1929
01:07:58,746 --> 01:08:01,716
trucks in the complex, we have

1930
01:08:01,716 --> 01:08:04,619
550 trucks that are either low

1931
01:08:04,619 --> 01:08:06,210
locks or zero emission trucks

1932
01:08:06,210 --> 01:08:08,990
and my understanding is of that

1933
01:08:08,990 --> 01:08:11,390
550, adr zero emission trucks

1934
01:08:13,928 --> 01:08:14,362
and of course most of them and

1935
01:08:14,362 --> 01:08:16,362
demonstration mode.

1936
01:08:17,699 --> 01:08:18,232
But in the years to come, in the

1937
01:08:18,232 --> 01:08:21,680
years to come we are more

1938
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,680
optimistic that we will achieve

1939
01:08:24,105 --> 01:08:26,105
zero emissions before 2035.

1940
01:08:27,842 --> 01:08:30,211
But as this emission has said a

1941
01:08:30,211 --> 01:08:33,214
number of times, whatever we can

1942
01:08:33,214 --> 01:08:33,915
do to reduce emissions today,

1943
01:08:33,915 --> 01:08:35,116
that is certainly a priority for

1944
01:08:35,116 --> 01:08:37,852
us in terms of how we move.

1945
01:08:37,852 --> 01:08:38,119
I gave you the numbers and you

1946
01:08:38,119 --> 01:08:40,119
heard, it'

1947
01:08:40,955 --> 01:08:41,789
s difficult to return

1948
01:08:41,789 --> 01:08:45,989
to think we will have a major

1949
01:08:46,661 --> 01:08:48,963
impact as one port and changing

1950
01:08:48,963 --> 01:08:51,363
the omissions trajectory with

1951
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,400
regards to transportation and

1952
01:08:54,836 --> 01:08:57,805
what that amounts to an terms of

1953
01:08:57,805 --> 01:08:58,306
percentage of harmful emissions

1954
01:08:58,306 --> 01:08:58,640
on california highways.

1955
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,640

2064
01:12:55,777 --> 01:12:57,777
infrastructure by eliminating

2065
01:12:59,481 --> 01:13:01,881

01:15:29,798 --> 01:15:31,798
girders, advanced columns.

2097
01:15:33,468 --> 01:15:35,537
The embankments, access rents --

2098
01:15:35,537 --> 01:15:37,537
access ramps.

2099
01:15:39,541 --> 01:15:42,177
As a general overview, here are

2100
01:15:42,177 --> 01:15:45,177
some photographs of the things

2101
01:15:45,814 --> 01:15:46,214
that have been demolished or are

2102
01:15:46,214 --> 01:15:48,214
being demolished.

2103
01:15:50,352 --> 01:15:52,521
Here again is the 6.8 million

2104
01:15:52,521 --> 01:15:55,521
center span which during a 48

2105
01:15:55,957 --> 01:15:57,426
hour channel closure has lowered

2106
01:15:57,426 --> 01:15:59,127
onto a barge and moved out where

2107
01:15:59,127 --> 01:16:01,296
it was later dismantled, our

2108
01:16:01,296 --> 01:16:02,698
contractors tony this was

2109
01:16:02,698 --> 01:16:04,132
probably the most complicated

2110
01:16:04,132 --> 01:16:04,867
activity that they had ever

2111
01:16:04,867 --> 01:16:08,437
coordinated in a short amount of

2112
01:16:08,437 --> 01:16:09,370
time, but with the careful

2113
01:16:09,370 --> 01:16:10,372
coordination between the

2114
01:16:10,372 --> 01:16:13,372
contractor, the team and other

2115
01:16:13,408 --> 01:16:14,900
stakeholders in a lot of

2116
01:16:14,900 --> 01:16:16,409
engineering, this section was

2117
01:16:18,747 --> 01:16:19,314
safely lowered in just over 18

2118
01:16:19,314 --> 01:16:22,314
hours and allowing the back

2119
01:16:22,751 --> 01:16:23,510
channels would be open about 30

2120
01:16:23,510 --> 01:16:25,510
hours early.

2121
01:16:26,521 --> 01:16:28,521
Next slide.

2122
01:16:32,694 --> 01:16:36,832
So we then moved on to the

2123
01:16:36,832 --> 01:16:38,634
including the anchor arms, these

2124
01:16:38,634 --> 01:16:40,636
were cut into large sections,

2125
01:16:40,636 --> 01:16:42,204
which were lowered to the ground

2126
01:16:42,204 --> 01:16:42,408
and safely dismantled, next

2127
01:16:42,408 --> 01:16:44,408
slide.

2128
01:16:48,430 --> 01:16:49,745
Next were the deck and approach

2129
01:16:49,745 --> 01:16:52,714
girders, as you can see in the

2130
01:16:52,714 --> 01:16:55,184
upper left-hand corner there, we

2131
01:16:55,184 --> 01:16:56,118
were quite confined by the

2132
01:16:56,118 --> 01:16:56,718
replacement bridge, and

2133
01:16:56,718 --> 01:16:59,118
sometimes our operations being

2134
01:16:59,721 --> 01:17:00,889
only a few feet from that

2135
01:17:00,889 --> 01:17:02,691
restructure, but with all the

2136
01:17:02,691 --> 01:17:05,910
proper sequencing and selection

2137
01:17:07,196 --> 01:17:08,430
of equipment, and most of this

2138
01:17:08,430 --> 01:17:09,798
mile-long structure was lowered

2139
01:17:09,798 --> 01:17:10,866
to the ground in process and

2140
01:17:10,866 --> 01:17:12,866
transport of recycling.

2141
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:15,100
.

2142
01:17:19,274 --> 01:17:21,309
Next up was the concrete

2143
01:17:21,309 --> 01:17:22,444
substructure including 32 peers

2144
01:17:22,444 --> 01:17:24,844
and their associated columns.

2145
01:17:24,847 --> 01:17:27,847
This work is almost complete

2146
01:17:29,818 --> 01:17:30,850
with only a few column elements

2147
01:17:30,850 --> 01:17:32,850
remaining.

2148
01:17:34,489 --> 01:17:35,230
Finally, the current status, the

2149
01:17:35,230 --> 01:17:37,230
contractors are currently

2150
01:17:37,426 --> 01:17:39,862
working on -- working on some of

2151
01:17:39,862 --> 01:17:42,131
the areas that they have begun

2152
01:17:42,131 --> 01:17:43,465
their final grading, and as you

2153
01:17:43,465 --> 01:17:47,650
can see in the upper right-hand

2154
01:17:48,471 --> 01:17:50,606
corner, the concrete rubble is

2155
01:17:50,606 --> 01:17:52,608
going to be taken to our site

2156
01:17:52,608 --> 01:17:53,909
where it will be processed and

2157
01:17:53,909 --> 01:17:54,309
recycle and it will be there for

2158
01:17:54,309 --> 01:17:56,309
a report projects.

2159
01:17:58,481 --> 01:17:59,930
Thank you and I'

2160
01:17:59,930 --> 01:17:59,298
m happy to

2161
01:17:59,298 --> 01:18:01,298
answer any questions.

2162
01:18:02,985 --> 01:18:04,686
>> thank you very much.

2163
01:18:04,686 --> 01:18:06,989
First of all, congratulations to

2164
01:18:06,989 --> 01:18:07,289
you and communications for a

2165
01:18:07,289 --> 01:18:09,289
cool video.

2166
01:18:09,892 --> 01:18:11,593
I still remain amazed that we

2167
01:18:11,593 --> 01:18:13,295
only had to close the back

2168
01:18:13,295 --> 01:18:15,164
channel for two days to lower

2169
01:18:15,164 --> 01:18:15,464
the main span, that is just

2170
01:18:15,464 --> 01:18:17,464
incredible.

2171
01:18:18,567 --> 01:18:20,569
I just want to point out again,

2172
01:18:20,569 --> 01:18:21,136
even though you said it, that we

2173
01:18:21,136 --> 01:18:24,136
are recycling steel from the

2174
01:18:25,107 --> 01:18:26,442
bridge in the rubble, socon --

2175
01:18:26,442 --> 01:18:29,811
from the bridge and the rubble,

2176
01:18:29,811 --> 01:18:30,379
so congratulations.

2177
01:18:30,379 --> 01:18:32,379
Commissioners, any comments?

2178
01:18:35,117 --> 01:18:36,585
>> it is so easy to predict --

2179
01:18:36,585 --> 01:18:37,860
to forget the amount of work

2180
01:18:37,860 --> 01:18:38,520
that goes into what you'

2181
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:39,855
ve done

2182
01:18:39,855 --> 01:18:41,323
because we were all just looking

2183
01:18:41,323 --> 01:18:43,723
at the new bridge.

2184
01:18:45,494 --> 01:18:49,940
It was obviously complex and you

2185
01:18:49,298 --> 01:18:50,699
did an amazing job.

2186
01:18:50,699 --> 01:18:53,100
I assume that was part of our

2187
01:18:53,100 --> 01:18:55,401
pla, is that correct?

2188
01:18:56,939 --> 01:18:59,842
Just out of curiosity, where is

2189
01:18:59,842 --> 01:19:00,743
the steel recycled?

2190
01:19:00,743 --> 01:19:02,945
How does that happen?

2191
01:19:02,945 --> 01:19:04,146
>> there'

2192
01:19:04,146 --> 01:19:04,781
s a couple of local

2193
01:19:04,781 --> 01:19:05,180
recyclers that are able to take

2194
01:19:05,180 --> 01:19:07,180
that.

2195
01:19:10,652 --> 01:19:11,200
>> do we keep some of that for

2196
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:13,200
future projects?

2197
01:19:14,456 --> 01:19:16,856
Do we keep that?

2198
01:19:18,930 --> 01:19:18,527
>> it'

2199
01:19:18,527 --> 01:19:19,228
s on the current change

2200
01:19:19,228 --> 01:19:21,228
order.

2201
01:19:21,997 --> 01:19:24,997
but there are certain elements

2202
01:19:26,502 --> 01:19:27,169
that will be salvaged and we

2203
01:19:27,169 --> 01:19:30,769
will have them for future use.

2204
01:19:33,475 --> 01:19:35,744
>> commissioner, I took a tour

2205
01:19:35,744 --> 01:19:36,812
not that long ago of the

2206
01:19:36,812 --> 01:19:37,980
recycling and there was a big

2207
01:19:37,980 --> 01:19:40,449
pile of green metal that was all

2208
01:19:40,449 --> 01:19:40,662
chopped up and they said that'

2209
01:19:40,662 --> 01:19:41,817
s

2210
01:19:41,817 --> 01:19:42,818
part of the bridge.

2211
01:19:42,818 --> 01:19:45,321
So that was really exciting.

2212
01:19:45,321 --> 01:19:45,788
>> that'

2213
01:19:45,788 --> 01:19:47,823
s where most of it went.

2214
01:19:47,823 --> 01:19:49,823
>> I'

2215
01:19:50,326 --> 01:19:51,126
m glad we have tenants that

2216
01:19:51,126 --> 01:19:53,896
are very involved in sustainable

2217
01:19:53,896 --> 01:19:55,197
activities for the port and our

2218
01:19:55,197 --> 01:19:55,998
communities, so that was

2219
01:19:55,998 --> 01:19:57,633
beautiful.

2220
01:19:57,633 --> 01:20:00,633
Any other questions or comments?

2221
01:20:00,970 --> 01:20:02,571
Do we have any members from the

2222
01:20:02,571 --> 01:20:02,791
public to address us on this

2223
01:20:02,791 --> 01:20:04,607
item?

2224
01:20:04,607 --> 01:20:06,607
>> we do not.

2225

>> I have a motion to approve,

2226
01:20:09,611 --> 01:20:12,110
is there a second?

2227

Thank you, all those in favor,

2228
01:20:16,180 --> 01:20:18,180

01:22:02,699 --> 01:22:04,699
item.

2285
01:22:07,229 --> 01:22:10,229
Is there any public comments?

2286
01:22:10,333 --> 01:22:13,333
>> yes, we have two speakers.

2287
01:22:17,807 --> 01:22:20,207
>> thank you, MR. Wilson.

2288
01:22:25,140 --> 01:22:26,982
>> I asked earlier if my wife

2289
01:22:26,982 --> 01:22:27,483
could share with me, what was

2290
01:22:27,483 --> 01:22:29,883
the decision on that?

2291
01:22:30,786 --> 01:22:30,993
Bikes unfortunately we don'

2292
01:22:30,993 --> 01:22:32,993
t

2293
01:22:33,155 --> 01:22:33,389
allow people to share their

2294
01:22:33,389 --> 01:22:33,597
time, I'

2295
01:22:33,597 --> 01:22:35,597
m sorry.

2296
01:22:36,792 --> 01:22:37,159
>> ok, you will have one

2297
01:22:37,159 --> 01:22:38,861
speaker, today'

2298
01:22:38,861 --> 01:22:40,861
s an anniversary

2299
01:22:40,863 --> 01:22:44,463
of 13 years and eight months of

2300
01:22:45,801 --> 01:22:47,736
a lengthy process on the project

2301
01:22:47,736 --> 01:22:50,740
, our property has been on that

2302
01:22:50,740 --> 01:22:53,140
cloud since AUGUST of 2009.

2303
01:22:54,510 --> 01:22:54,719
We are close to some event, I'

2304
01:22:54,719 --> 01:22:55,778
m

2305
01:22:55,778 --> 01:22:58,470
not sure exactly what that will

2306
01:22:58,470 --> 01:23:02,247
be yet, but we did receive an

2307
01:23:04,421 --> 01:23:04,954
offer letter from real estate

2308
01:23:04,954 --> 01:23:07,954
stating that the port is

2309
01:23:08,691 --> 01:23:09,659
interested in negotiating a

2310
01:23:09,659 --> 01:23:10,493
purchase of a full free

2311
01:23:10,493 --> 01:23:11,994
acquisition.

2312
01:23:11,994 --> 01:23:13,994
I'

2313
01:23:15,965 --> 01:23:17,333
m ready, willing and able to

2314
01:23:17,333 --> 01:23:19,733
enter into a negotiation.

2315
01:23:20,203 --> 01:23:22,471
It has been fairly stonewalled

2316
01:23:22,471 --> 01:23:24,471
by real estate.

2317
01:23:25,808 --> 01:23:28,208
They have demanded appraisals.

2318
01:23:29,779 --> 01:23:32,181
These properties -- and I asked

2319
01:23:32,181 --> 01:23:32,548
senior staff last week to give

2320
01:23:32,548 --> 01:23:34,548
input, I haven'

2321
01:23:36,485 --> 01:23:38,885
t heard back yet.

2322
01:23:39,922 --> 01:23:40,523
If the port did not give their

2323
01:23:40,523 --> 01:23:42,692
outside consultant the proper

2324
01:23:42,692 --> 01:23:45,610
instructions on how to even

2325
01:23:45,610 --> 01:23:47,461
secure appraisals on 21 pieces

2326
01:23:51,670 --> 01:23:52,668
of property that are unique in

2327
01:23:52,668 --> 01:23:52,869
all of los angeles county, then

2328
01:23:52,869 --> 01:23:54,700
I don'

2329
01:23:54,700 --> 01:23:54,537
t know what the prices

2330
01:23:54,537 --> 01:23:56,937
were really based on.

2331
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,240
Our properties are inside the

2332
01:24:01,110 --> 01:24:03,110
port.

2333
01:24:04,447 --> 01:24:06,847
I floated the balloon.

2334
01:24:07,250 --> 01:24:08,684
How about a tax-free exchange

2335
01:24:08,684 --> 01:24:09,685
for some comparable piece of

2336
01:24:09,685 --> 01:24:12,850
property in the ports?

2337
01:24:13,189 --> 01:24:13,989
That balloon did not gain any

2338
01:24:13,989 --> 01:24:14,188
elevation.

2339
01:24:14,188 --> 01:24:16,188
I'

2340
01:24:16,826 --> 01:24:17,159
m still interested in that, if

2341
01:24:17,159 --> 01:24:17,693
that'

2342
01:24:17,693 --> 01:24:19,693
s a possibility.

2343
01:24:21,331 --> 01:24:22,865
I had a phone call today from a

2344
01:24:22,865 --> 01:24:23,533
broker interested in buying the

2345
01:24:23,533 --> 01:24:24,200
property at an unbelievable

2346
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,200
price.

2347
01:24:27,871 --> 01:24:29,605
But, obviously that'

2348
01:24:29,605 --> 01:24:30,720
s not

2349
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,472
possible where we are.

2350
01:24:33,750 --> 01:24:36,675
One of the issues that i

2351
01:24:37,169 --> 01:24:37,465
requested was, let'

2352
01:24:37,465 --> 01:24:38,648
s take the

2353
01:24:38,648 --> 01:24:41,648
offer letter and the purchase

2354
01:24:41,751 --> 01:24:42,652
and sales agreement and make

2355
01:24:42,652 --> 01:24:45,520
sure they are compatible.

2356
01:24:45,688 --> 01:24:47,223
The offer letter is not an

2357
01:24:47,223 --> 01:24:47,857
executable document, there were

2358
01:24:47,857 --> 01:24:50,857
a lot of verbal representations

2359
01:24:51,461 --> 01:24:53,796
that signed the psa and all of

2360
01:24:53,796 --> 01:24:54,129
this magical stuff will happen

2361
01:24:54,129 --> 01:24:56,129
and disappear.

2362
01:24:57,300 --> 01:24:59,402
That did not float past my

2363
01:24:59,402 --> 01:25:01,402
attorney.

2364
01:25:03,473 --> 01:25:06,473
We did receive, about 0 days

2365
01:25:06,542 --> 01:25:08,942
ago, a revised psa.

2366
01:25:09,145 --> 01:25:10,146
He requested 30 day time from

2367
01:25:10,146 --> 01:25:14,484
that date to be able to not only

2368
01:25:14,484 --> 01:25:17,353
review, but then negotiate, if

2369
01:25:17,353 --> 01:25:19,856
necessary, with the port to have

2370
01:25:19,856 --> 01:25:20,456
a satisfactory purchase and

2371
01:25:20,456 --> 01:25:22,856
sales agreement in place.

2372
01:25:23,526 --> 01:25:25,261
That was denied out of hand, and

2373
01:25:25,261 --> 01:25:25,494
we are rapidly approaching --

2374
01:25:25,494 --> 01:25:27,494
anyway.

2375
01:25:29,198 --> 01:25:30,867
>> MR. Wilson, because we want

2376
01:25:30,867 --> 01:25:34,103
to hear from you, if there is no

2377
01:25:34,103 --> 01:25:34,771
objection, I will allow you

2378
01:25:34,771 --> 01:25:36,771
another minute.

2379
01:25:38,740 --> 01:25:38,708
>> ok, all right, I would still

2380
01:25:38,708 --> 01:25:41,611
request we have that extension

2381
01:25:41,611 --> 01:25:43,779
granted and I would also like to

2382
01:25:43,779 --> 01:25:46,779
find out what instructions were

2383
01:25:46,849 --> 01:25:50,119
given to the appraisals on how

2384
01:25:50,119 --> 01:25:50,620
to identify 21 unique pieces of

2385
01:25:50,620 --> 01:25:53,200
property that cannot be

2386
01:25:53,423 --> 01:25:55,324
duplicated outside the port

2387
01:25:55,324 --> 01:25:57,324
footprint.

2388
01:25:57,994 --> 01:26:00,960
I have visited every comp that

2389
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:01,964
was included in our appraisal,

2390
01:26:01,964 --> 01:26:02,168
they do not match our property.

2391
01:26:02,168 --> 01:26:04,168
That'

2392
01:26:04,434 --> 01:26:05,668
s like saying I live on the

2393
01:26:05,668 --> 01:26:06,502
beach, I have beachfront

2394
01:26:06,502 --> 01:26:06,736
property, but let'

2395
01:26:06,736 --> 01:26:08,736
s just move

2396
01:26:09,380 --> 01:26:10,473
your building to north long

2397
01:26:10,473 --> 01:26:10,873
beach, it'

2398
01:26:10,873 --> 01:26:11,241
s not comparable, you

2399
01:26:11,241 --> 01:26:13,241
cannot do that.

2400
01:26:14,311 --> 01:26:15,111
Anyway, I stand he'

2401
01:26:15,111 --> 01:26:17,213
ll -- I stand

2402
01:26:17,213 --> 01:26:18,147
here to appeal to the board have

2403
01:26:18,147 --> 01:26:19,615
some kind of common sense.

2404
01:26:19,615 --> 01:26:22,785
I have spoken with two of you in

2405
01:26:22,785 --> 01:26:25,455
the past and also commissioner

2406
01:26:25,455 --> 01:26:26,956
neil.

2407
01:26:26,956 --> 01:26:30,556
I think I have a wonderful

2408
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,762
relationship with senior staff

2409
01:26:32,762 --> 01:26:34,300
and a lot of friends and family

2410
01:26:34,300 --> 01:26:36,699
and neighbors in the audience,

2411
01:26:36,699 --> 01:26:38,501
so thank you for your time, but

2412
01:26:38,501 --> 01:26:39,769
I would like some consideration,

2413
01:26:39,769 --> 01:26:43,306
and I do stand ready to

2414
01:26:43,306 --> 01:26:45,808
negotiate a fair price and ask

2415
01:26:45,808 --> 01:26:46,750
for an extension on the psa,

2416
01:26:46,750 --> 01:26:48,750
thank you.

2417
01:26:51,810 --> 01:26:51,948
>> MAY we have staff follow up

2418
01:26:51,948 --> 01:26:52,849
with MR. Wilson.

2419
01:26:52,849 --> 01:26:54,849
>> yes, MADAM PRESIDENT.

2420
01:26:57,353 --> 01:26:57,620
I have addressed this issue with

2421
01:26:57,620 --> 01:26:59,620
staff, we'

2422
01:27:00,290 --> 01:27:01,524
ve had a number of

2423
01:27:01,524 --> 01:27:03,393
discussions and we previously

2424
01:27:03,393 --> 01:27:06,696
had that with MR. Wilson, so we

2425
01:27:06,696 --> 01:27:09,365
will continue with our efforts

2426
01:27:09,365 --> 01:27:11,801
to work with MR. Wilson.

2427
01:27:11,801 --> 01:27:13,200
We will say at the end of the

2428
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,602
day it really comes down to

2429
01:27:18,408 --> 01:27:18,975
price and I certainly appreciate

2430
01:27:18,975 --> 01:27:21,975
a property order trying to

2431
01:27:22,845 --> 01:27:23,413
maximize what that is, but I can

2432
01:27:23,413 --> 01:27:26,115
represent to the board in my

2433
01:27:26,115 --> 01:27:26,950
meetings with the staff in real

2434
01:27:26,950 --> 01:27:27,284
estate, they'

2435
01:27:27,284 --> 01:27:29,284
ve been consistent

2436
01:27:30,186 --> 01:27:33,186
with a process that exemplifies

2437
01:27:33,456 --> 01:27:35,124
best practices, so nevertheless,

2438
01:27:35,124 --> 01:27:36,759
we will continue to work with

2439
01:27:36,759 --> 01:27:37,160
MR. Wilson on some of the issues

2440
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,160
he has addressed.

2441
01:27:40,997 --> 01:27:41,698
I will say, some of the items,

2442
01:27:41,698 --> 01:27:42,398
as he'

2443
01:27:42,398 --> 01:27:45,100
s aware, we are not able

2444
01:27:45,100 --> 01:27:47,270
to comply with that some of the

2445
01:27:47,270 --> 01:27:48,104
documents.

2446
01:27:48,104 --> 01:27:49,306
It'

2447
01:27:49,306 --> 01:27:51,107
s a public-sector question in

2448
01:27:51,107 --> 01:27:51,441
terms of what that process is

2449
01:27:51,441 --> 01:27:53,441
and should be.

2450
01:27:56,279 --> 01:27:58,147
Again, I emphasize the fact that

2451
01:27:58,147 --> 01:27:59,215
we will continue with MR. Wilson

2452
01:27:59,215 --> 01:27:59,482
and see how we can come to our

2453
01:27:59,482 --> 01:28:01,482
reliance.

2454
01:28:02,752 --> 01:28:04,320
>> thank you, I would ask if you

2455
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:04,721
can report back to the board on

2456
01:28:04,721 --> 01:28:05,822
the conversation.

2457
01:28:05,822 --> 01:28:07,822
Thank you.

2458
01:28:22,238 --> 01:28:24,674
>> we do have a motion from the

2459
01:28:24,674 --> 01:28:27,740
commissioner and a second.

2460
01:28:30,130 --> 01:28:30,313
All in favor? That passes

2461
01:28:30,313 --> 01:28:32,149
unanimously.

2462
01:28:32,149 --> 01:28:35,749
And that brings us to item 15.

2463
01:28:37,654 --> 01:28:38,922
>> authorize spending for the

2464
01:28:38,922 --> 01:28:39,355

2465
01:28:39,355 --> 01:28:41,355

2466

>> commissioners, questions or

2467
01:28:44,940 --> 01:28:46,940
comments?

2468
01:28:46,729 --> 01:28:48,198
Is there any public comment?

2469
01:28:48,198 --> 01:28:50,198
>> there is not.

2470
01:28:53,336 --> 01:28:56,720
>> thank you, we have a motion

2471
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,575

Good afternoon.

2522
01:30:49,819 --> 01:30:53,890
To give you a little background

2523
01:30:53,890 --> 01:30:56,890
of the project, shipment and

2524
01:30:57,461 --> 01:30:58,595
transportation of heavy cargo

2525
01:30:58,595 --> 01:31:01,595
continues to be an important

2526
01:31:02,632 --> 01:31:03,867
part of what it is today.

2527
01:31:03,867 --> 01:31:06,867
Imports and exports are in

2528
01:31:09,472 --> 01:31:12,472
extreme cargo, but also provides

2529
01:31:13,510 --> 01:31:15,112
commercial benefits to the port

2530
01:31:15,112 --> 01:31:15,445
of long beach and shipping

2531
01:31:15,445 --> 01:31:17,445
stakeholders.

2532
01:31:24,521 --> 01:31:28,325
To move this cargo it is santa

2533
01:31:28,325 --> 01:31:30,527
fe to reach it as you can see

2534
01:31:30,527 --> 01:31:30,728
from the exhibit colored and

2535
01:31:30,728 --> 01:31:32,728
black.

2536
01:31:38,134 --> 01:31:38,835
In the expansion project under

2537
01:31:38,835 --> 01:31:41,835
the support of the leading

2538
01:31:43,206 --> 01:31:45,606
program, nine straight crossings

2539
01:31:46,476 --> 01:31:49,476
will be permanently closed in

2540
01:31:50,460 --> 01:31:52,460
2027, eliminating the existing

2541
01:31:52,480 --> 01:31:54,480
hard rock.

2542
01:31:54,351 --> 01:31:57,351
So the improved route is

2543
01:31:59,222 --> 01:31:59,556
proposed and it is there for

2544
01:31:59,556 --> 01:32:01,556
anaheim state.

2545
01:32:05,195 --> 01:32:09,395
As shown in blue in the exhibit,

2546
01:32:09,833 --> 01:32:13,433
they will follow this to anaheim

2547
01:32:13,470 --> 01:32:14,437
way and make a left on anaheim

2548
01:32:14,437 --> 01:32:16,437
street.

2549
01:32:19,420 --> 01:32:21,420
Next slide, please.

2550
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,818
This is the existing lane

2551
01:32:28,818 --> 01:32:31,218
configuration on anaheim street.

2552
01:32:39,829 --> 01:32:40,464
It also shows and I am way to

2553
01:32:40,464 --> 01:32:40,681
the revenue to east and I'

2554
01:32:40,681 --> 01:32:41,832
ll

2555
01:32:41,832 --> 01:32:43,832
street.

2556
01:32:44,634 --> 01:32:47,634
This clearly shows the current

2557
01:32:48,638 --> 01:32:49,473
route and accommodates all the

2558
01:32:49,473 --> 01:32:51,473
trucks in need.

2559
01:32:55,212 --> 01:32:56,713
The project will realign an

2560
01:32:56,713 --> 01:32:57,130
omelette -- anaheim way as shown

2561
01:32:57,130 --> 01:32:59,130
in the area.

2562
01:33:02,119 --> 01:33:05,119
It also includes traffic signal

2563
01:33:07,191 --> 01:33:09,191
modification, dining and

2564
01:33:09,259 --> 01:33:10,600
striping in the insulation of

2565
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:10,327
the new sidewalk in the

2566
01:33:10,327 --> 01:33:12,327
landscape.

2567
01:33:20,504 --> 01:33:23,400
This shows a typical heart hat.

2568
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:27,240
Not to talk about the heavy hard

2569
01:33:28,679 --> 01:33:30,679
route that includes

2570
01:33:31,915 --> 01:33:33,817
transformers, compressors and

2571
01:33:33,817 --> 01:33:34,518
weaponizes that are going into

2572
01:33:34,518 --> 01:33:36,918
the badly needed infrastructure

2573
01:33:38,255 --> 01:33:40,255
project, including companies

2574
01:33:41,858 --> 01:33:43,160
like southern california edison

2575
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,796
and noss -- los angeles

2576
01:33:45,796 --> 01:33:48,796
development of water and power.

2577
01:33:48,966 --> 01:33:51,134
In the existing terminal

2578
01:33:51,134 --> 01:33:54,134
operator that would be all

2579
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:55,772
oversize cargo which would be on

2580
01:33:55,772 --> 01:33:57,772
its business.

2581
01:33:59,977 --> 01:34:03,881
So the root can be visited by

2582
01:34:03,881 --> 01:34:04,314
future construction projects on

2583
01:34:04,314 --> 01:34:06,314
the project sites.

2584
01:34:07,184 --> 01:34:09,119
Similar to what happened on the

2585
01:34:09,119 --> 01:34:11,119
placement.

2586
01:34:15,592 --> 01:34:19,792
Also, the port of long beach is

2587
01:34:21,465 --> 01:34:22,650
a port for potential movement,

2588
01:34:22,650 --> 01:34:25,665
providing this allows the U.S.

2589
01:34:26,690 --> 01:34:26,670
Military with readiness

2590
01:34:26,670 --> 01:34:28,670
capabilities with innovations.

2591
01:34:32,209 --> 01:34:34,609
Lastly, providing the continuous

2592
01:34:36,714 --> 01:34:38,549
source of revenue and they will

2593
01:34:38,549 --> 01:34:39,490
continue to use this out rather

2594
01:34:39,490 --> 01:34:42,490
than going to the port.

2595
01:34:43,286 --> 01:34:44,421
This concludes my report and we

2596
01:34:44,421 --> 01:34:44,688

2597
01:34:44,688 --> 01:34:46,688

01:43:47,965 --> 01:43:49,700
efforts to combat climate change

2851
01:43:49,700 --> 01:43:52,360
like our zero program that will

2852
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:53,638
guide the ports establishments

2853
01:43:53,638 --> 01:43:55,730
of partnerships and investments

2854
01:43:55,730 --> 01:43:58,276
to ensure we achieve our zero

2855
01:43:58,276 --> 01:44:00,345
emission, clean power and

2856
01:44:00,345 --> 01:44:01,713
decarbonization goals, we

2857
01:44:01,713 --> 01:44:03,140
emphasize the ports excitement

2858
01:44:03,140 --> 01:44:06,117
to support the states goal in

2859
01:44:06,117 --> 01:44:08,117
producing 25 gigawatts of

2860
01:44:08,319 --> 01:44:11,319
offshore wind power by 2045 with

2861
01:44:13,257 --> 01:44:13,858
our proposed floating offshore

2862
01:44:13,858 --> 01:44:16,258
wind staging and integration

2863
01:44:16,261 --> 01:44:17,929
facility.

2864
01:44:17,929 --> 01:44:20,329
The supply chain information

2865
01:44:21,532 --> 01:44:23,668
highway to maximize visibility

2866
01:44:23,668 --> 01:44:24,168
and efficiency in cargo movement

2867
01:44:24,168 --> 01:44:26,568
and the significance of

2868
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:30,742
investing in the training campus

2869
01:44:30,742 --> 01:44:32,100
address skills shortages and

2870
01:44:32,100 --> 01:44:34,100
provide opportunities for

2871
01:44:36,147 --> 01:44:36,714
workforce advancements across

2872
01:44:36,714 --> 01:44:39,114
the goods movement industry.

2873
01:44:41,420 --> 01:44:42,687
Overall, I think our trip to

2874
01:44:42,687 --> 01:44:43,421
sacramento this extremely

2875
01:44:43,421 --> 01:44:43,721
productive and a valuable

2876
01:44:43,721 --> 01:44:45,721
experience.

2877
01:44:47,959 --> 01:44:50,959
I believe to shape always

2878
01:44:50,962 --> 01:44:51,329
benefit our customers, tenants

2879
01:44:51,329 --> 01:44:53,329
and community.

2880
01:44:53,331 --> 01:44:53,998
Commissioner lowenthal, did you

2881
01:44:53,998 --> 01:44:57,598
have anything you want to add?

2882
01:45:01,205 --> 01:45:02,400
>> I think it was a very

2883
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:05,400
effective group of meetings with

2884
01:45:05,843 --> 01:45:06,978
the different legislators and

2885
01:45:06,978 --> 01:45:08,978
the secretary.

2886
01:45:10,548 --> 01:45:13,184
You know when you go to

2887
01:45:13,184 --> 01:45:15,587
sacramento you have to divide

2888
01:45:15,587 --> 01:45:18,389
and conquer, so one group,

2889
01:45:18,389 --> 01:45:18,890
PRESIDENT Wiseman, went down to

2890
01:45:18,890 --> 01:45:20,890
the lieutenant governor'

2891
01:45:21,590 --> 01:45:21,759
s office

2892
01:45:21,759 --> 01:45:24,963
while I went to the legislator,

2893
01:45:24,963 --> 01:45:28,563
but it was all very well.

2894
01:45:29,330 --> 01:45:30,902
The people we talked to about it

2895
01:45:30,902 --> 01:45:32,437
was really just as excited as we

2896
01:45:32,437 --> 01:45:33,370
are.

2897
01:45:33,370 --> 01:45:33,271
So we will see what the future

2898
01:45:33,271 --> 01:45:35,271
brings.

2899
01:45:36,575 --> 01:45:37,442
We vote for that money in the

2900
01:45:37,442 --> 01:45:37,648
budget, that was the important

2901
01:45:37,648 --> 01:45:39,648
part.

2902
01:45:39,811 --> 01:45:41,811
>> we did.

2903
01:45:42,347 --> 01:45:42,714
MR. Cordero is there anything

2904
01:45:42,714 --> 01:45:45,114
you want to add?

2905
01:45:46,450 --> 01:45:49,450
>> it has been referenced as

2906
01:45:50,210 --> 01:45:50,588
pretty successful trip, meetings

2907
01:45:50,588 --> 01:45:53,588
and as the commissioner has

2908
01:45:54,592 --> 01:45:54,993
indicated, a lot of excitement

2909
01:45:54,993 --> 01:45:56,928
about our project.

2910
01:45:56,928 --> 01:45:58,928
Obviously it'

2911
01:46:00,980 --> 01:46:02,100
s not going to bec,

2912
01:46:02,100 --> 01:46:03,134
but the good news is the stay in

2913
01:46:03,134 --> 01:46:03,868
legislators we have spoken with

2914
01:46:03,868 --> 01:46:06,868
are very excited about that

2915
01:46:07,172 --> 01:46:09,107
roadmap trying to get the 25

2916
01:46:09,107 --> 01:46:11,507
gigawatts by year 2045 and

2917
01:46:14,450 --> 01:46:16,450
advanced in california.

With those goals in fun -- in

2919
01:46:17,582 --> 01:46:18,183
mind.

2920
01:46:18,183 --> 01:46:21,190
A lot of support at the state

2921
01:46:21,190 --> 01:46:21,352
level not only to ports overall,

2922
01:46:21,352 --> 01:46:22,687

2928
01:46:37,669 --> 01:46:39,604

2929
01:46:39,604 --> 01:46:39,808
Do we have anything else from

2930
01:46:39,808 --> 01:46:41,808

2931
01:46:44,142 --> 01:46:44,351

David started his career with

2944
01:47:10,235 --> 01:47:13,204
as an administrative intern in

promotional roles.

2952
01:47:23,281 --> 01:47:26,785
In 2013 he began his career with

2953
01:47:26,785 --> 01:47:27,419

2960
01:47:37,729 --> 01:47:40,665
He is remembered as a strong

2961
01:47:40,665 --> 01:47:42,665
advocate.

2962
01:47:42,801 --> 01:47:45,801
He was confident, caring, GOD

2963
01:47:46,404 --> 01:47:49,174
loving and a friend, overall, a

2964
01:47:49,174 --> 01:47:51,760
great friend to many people.

2965
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:51,343
He was more than just a

2966
01:47:51,343 --> 01:47:52,511
coworker.

2967
01:47:52,511 --> 01:47:53,144
For this and many reasons he

2968
01:47:53,144 --> 01:47:55,180
will be dearly missed.

2969
01:47:55,180 --> 01:47:58,780
David is survived by his wife.

2970
01:47:59,510 --> 01:47:59,952
I am going to move to adjourn

2971
01:47:59,952 --> 01:48:03,552
this meeting in memory of david

2972
01:48:03,888 --> 01:48:04,322
white, but first, commissioner,

2973
01:48:04,322 --> 01:48:05,657
you have comments.

2974
01:48:05,657 --> 01:48:08,570
>> thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT.

2975
01:48:08,493 --> 01:48:12,930
David was a friend for many,

2976
01:48:12,330 --> 01:48:14,599
many years, even before I was

2977
01:48:14,599 --> 01:48:16,968
elected to the school board, we

2978
01:48:16,968 --> 01:48:18,403
worked in the community in the

2979
01:48:18,403 --> 01:48:18,803
downtown area in the first

2980
01:48:18,803 --> 01:48:20,803
district.

2981
01:48:23,410 --> 01:48:25,377
He was a pleasure to work with

2982
01:48:25,377 --> 01:48:28,179
for many, many years, and he was

2983
01:48:28,179 --> 01:48:30,579
devoted to the downtown.

2984
01:48:32,817 --> 01:48:33,618
He and his wife bought a condo

2985
01:48:33,618 --> 01:48:37,218
on forest when it was first

2986
01:48:40,725 --> 01:48:41,326
built and he was very involved

2987
01:48:41,326 --> 01:48:44,290
in the east village as it was

2988
01:48:44,290 --> 01:48:46,197
being developed by the people in

2989
01:48:46,197 --> 01:48:48,330
the city and city planning and

2990
01:48:48,330 --> 01:48:48,533
development.

2991
01:48:48,533 --> 01:48:49,000
It'

2992
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,000
s really hard to imagine

2993
01:48:53,304 --> 01:48:56,304
downtown without david fight, he

2994
01:48:56,875 --> 01:48:58,143
was a friend to so many people.

2995
01:48:58,143 --> 01:48:58,356
I have this memory, I hope I'

2996
01:48:58,356 --> 01:49:00,356
m

2997
01:49:01,379 --> 01:49:05,250
right, when I first got to know

2998
01:49:05,250 --> 01:49:08,553
him, he told me that his family

2999
01:49:08,553 --> 01:49:10,756
-- and I think he was originally

3000
01:49:10,756 --> 01:49:12,756
from liberia.

3001
01:49:15,961 --> 01:49:18,864
anyway, very sad to lose david,

3002
01:49:18,864 --> 01:49:19,720
and I know many of you feel the

3003
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:19,631
same.

3004
01:49:19,631 --> 01:49:22,310
Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT.

3005
01:49:22,201 --> 01:49:23,268
Like thank you, are there any

3006
01:49:23,268 --> 01:49:25,668
other comments on david?

3007
01:49:26,571 --> 01:49:28,971
Without objection, we will

3008
01:49:29,641 --> 01:49:30,542
adjourn in his memory and we

3009
01:49:30,542 --> 01:49:30,876
will resume in closed session in

3010
01:49:30,876 --> 01:49:32,876
five minutes.
