Port director outlines recovery strategy, workforce programs and Pier projects
Summary
Port Director Monique Moyer told supervisors the Port has stabilized finances with a roughly $66 million operating budget, is pursuing Pier 27 and Pier 70 projects, and is investing in workforce development programs tied to a ship repair facility and partnerships with BAE Systems.
Monique Moyer, director of the Port of San Francisco, presented an overview of the port's finances and priorities, saying the operating budget is about $66 million (about $70 million including operating capital) and noting ongoing volatility in tenant and restaurant revenues. She described strategic investments such as maintenance and a planned cruise terminal at Pier 27, and said the port has recovered revenue by renegotiating leases and by stabilizing tenant arrangements.
Moyer emphasized workforce initiatives, including an employment program run with the San Francisco Conservation Corps and a new training partnership with BAE Systems tied to the ship repair facility. She outlined a three-phase training program aimed at preparing about 40 candidates for entry-level positions and advanced welding certifications for additional candidates, and discussed efforts to track interns by ZIP code to improve equitable hiring across the city.
Supervisors asked about vacancies and whether the port had dedicated workforce development staff; Moyer said the port has experienced human-resources turnover that slowed program implementation but that the port was exploring shared staffing and partnership with other departments and with private-sector partners. Budget analysts noted one contested position request in the port's request and the department agreed to return next week to continue the discussion.
