Port Commission approves lease changes and retail leasing policy; discloses closed-session contract termination
Summary
The Port Commission approved multiple consent items and resolutions, disclosed a closed-session decision to terminate contract #2742 with a $5,152.32 settlement, approved a lease amendment for Dawson Clinton, and adopted a new retail leasing policy; staff also delivered several waterfront planning and event notices.
The Port Commission of the Port of San Francisco voted to approve several resolutions and disclosed one closed-session action at the meeting.
In a closed session disclosure, a commissioner stated that the commission "moved to approve the executive director's determination that termination for convenience of contract number 2742 is in the city's and port's best interest," and that the termination included settlement of the contractor's claims for $5,152.32. The disclosure was made on the record after the commission reconvened in open session.
On the consent calendar the commission approved the port's annual update to its 10-year capital plan and consent to a sublease between Blue and Gold Fleet LP and CUSAFL LLC for a four-year term to operate a ticket booth and office space of approximately 715 square feet at Pier 41; resolutions on the consent calendar were adopted unanimously.
The commission approved a first amendment to a lease with Dawson Clinton General Contractors (lease cited in staff materials as L14829/L14809) to change the commencement date and to eliminate the bonding and tenant guarantee requirements for initial tenant improvements, subject to staff conditions and documentation. The port approved the lease amendment by roll call vote.
Commissioners also adopted the Port's proposed retail leasing policy (staff materials referenced 2010/2011; the resolution was corrected to reference 2011). The policy aligns port practice with the city administrative code, clarifies when staff may use direct negotiation rather than formal competitive bidding, and sets due-diligence requirements when direct negotiation is considered (tenant in good standing, business plan review, audited financials). The commission voted to forward the policy to the Board of Supervisors for review as appropriate.
The meeting concluded with staff announcements and adjournment at 3:50 p.m.; commissioners offered best wishes to Director Monique Moyer and her family.
