Item No. 1 (continued) Mayor Britschgi called the meeting to order. President Dodge referred to the subject materials stating five reports on various aspects of Port activities will be presented by members. 1) Capital Improvement Proqram 1983 -84 - President Dodge presented the report. 2) Port Finances: 1983 -84 Income and Expenses - Assistant Port Manager Cecconi presented the report in the absence of Commissioner Spillers. In response to question, Mrs. Cecconi said that the amounts given to the City do not come from a budgeted surplus fund, but that in order to have such funds they must come from exceeding projected revenues and /or reduced expenses. Port Manager Di Pietro noted that the Board determines at the time of preparing the budget for the next fiscal year what the surplus is and has established the policy that the Port will give to the City not less than 10% of net operating earnings. 3) Government Relations - Commissioner Keckley presented the report, and replied to questions relating to the requirement that dredging spoils be deposited in the water fill area of Alcatraz at a cost of at least half of the total dredging cost. (Councilman Claire arrived at 8:15 p.m.) Discussion followed concerning similar problems encountered by other Bay Area ports; the present attitude of tfie Bay Conservation and Development Commission; the additional loss to the City of the value of the spoils as a recoverable asset to be sold for fill; and the fact that the spoils deposited at Alcatraz are often carried back to the source and must be dredged again. 4) Yacht Harbor - Commissioner Smith presented the report. In response to question, Mr. Di Pietro said that the State Ocean and Boatways Department has criteria with regard to small boat docking for transients, as well as others. 5) Portside - Commissioner Small presented the report on the Portside project. William Kay, Portside partner, replied to questions regarding the relationship of restaurant square footage to number of seats, stating that the 8,000 square -foot restaurant accommodates about 230 people and the 5,000 square -foot one, about 130 people in the first phase of the project. President Dodge noted that when the Portside project is 50% leased, as is now the case, the developer must start construction on Phase II, and plans are under way.
