D. Board Committee Reports.  
Commissioner Malcolm provided a report on the September 21, 2021 Audit Oversight  
Committee. Commissioner Malcolm shared that the Port Auditor, Mark Yeilding,  
presented changes to three Board of Port Commissioner Policies, BPC No. 035, Powers  
and Functions of the Port Auditor, BPC NO. 630 – Fraud Prevention Policy, and BPC No.  
776 – Port Audit Oversight Committee. Commissioner Malcolm explained that the  
changes incorporated were based on best practice presentations along with Audit  
Committee and Board direction. Commissioner Malcolm announced that the Audit  
Committee recommended the proposed changes for approval by the Board today  
(Consent Agenda Item 6 - File No. 2021-0256). Additionally, the Port Auditor reviewed  
the annual report for Fiscal Year 2021 which included the Office of the Port Auditor’s Key  
Performance Metrics for FY 2021. The Office of the Port Auditor outperformed their set  
Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) in six out of seven measures. The committee also  
received an update on reports made to the Port’s Fraud and Ethics Hotline between July  
and September. The Committee also heard from Scott Clark, Financial Services Deputy  
Treasurer, who provided an overview and update on the implementation of GASB 87  
standards. Finally, Billy Marsh, the Port’s Chief Information Security Officer, gave an  
update on the Port’s cybersecurity including how phishing emails are handled.  
Commissioner Malcolm then shared that the next Audit Oversight Committee meeting will  
be held on Tuesday, December 7, which will include the presentation and acceptance of  
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and Single Audit for Fiscal Year 2021 and  
presentations on Data Analytics, Dashboards, and Continuous monitoring initiatives by  
the Office of the Port Auditor.  
Commissioner Castellanos provided a report on the September 22, 2021, Environmental  
Advisory Committee (EAC) meeting. Commissioner Castellanos shared that the  
Committee received presentations on the following topics: an update on the Blue  
Economy Incubator pilot projects; an overview of the restorative aquaculture planning  
process; and a high-level overview of Port blue carbon opportunities, including the U.S.  
Maritime Administration’s funding of the San Diego Bay Blue Carbon Eelgrass Study.  
The last presentation was on the San Diego Bay Native Oyster Living Shoreline Project.  
The Living Shoreline Project was recently awarded $1 million in grant funding from the  
California Coastal Conservancy and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The grant will fund  
construction and installation of the reef balls that will form the living shoreline project.  
Commissioner Castellanos explained that the reef ball construction uses crushed oyster  
shells mixed with concrete and the oyster shells embedded in the concrete encourages  
larval oysters to settle onto the reef balls. As the oysters grow, they build a living  
structure that supports native species and has the potential to dampen wave energy and  
protect the coastline from erosion. Commissioner Castellanos announced that the public  
works agreement to install the 360 reef balls is on today’s consent agenda (Consent Item  
7 - File No. 2021-0281), and added that the next EAC meeting is scheduled for  
December 1, 2021.  
E. Commissioners’ Reports.  
Commissioner Naranjo provided a report regarding the September 21st AB 617 Steering  
Committing meeting. Commissioner Naranjo shared that the Committee voted to send a  
letter of support for UCSD’s and Scripps' hydrogen-hybrid coastal research vessel.  
Commissioner Naranjo explained that this “first-of-its-kind” hydrogen-hybrid vessel will  
feature an innovative propulsion system that will use hydrogen fuel cells to enable  
zero-emission operations for 75% of the ship’s expeditions. The Steering Committee  
also received a presentation from Air Pollution Control District (APCD) staff on  
community identified emission reduction projects. In addition to a status update on the  
APCD’s residential air filtration project, APCD staff shared a tentative framework to  
advance a Zero Emission Truck Program and Zero Emission Port Equipment, both of  
which are included in the AB 617 Community Emissions Reduction Program (CERP) and  
the Port’s Maritime Clean Air Strategy (MCAS). The tentative framework for trucks, that  
was shared included: working with Port to recruit truck owners and operators; $4 million in  
initial funding allocation; up to $250,000 per truck or 90% of the truck’s cost; and no  
scrappage requirement. Commissioner Naranjo also shared that the tentative framework  
for Port equipment is not as mature, but current ideas include: $3 million in initial funding  
allocation; 90% funding; and no scrappage requirement. Commissioner Naranjo added  
that APCD staff plans to continue to work on refining these proposals and send it to the  
California Air Resources Board for their feedback.  
F. President’s Report.

Commissioner Naranjo made a motion, seconded by Chairman Zucchet,  
subsequently amended with the consent of the maker and the second, to adopt  
the Maritime Clean Air Strategy as recommended by Staff with the following  
changes:  
1.Prepare a heavy duty truck transition plan by January 2022 with ZE heavy-duty  
transition benchmarks of 40% by June 30, 2026 and 100% by December 31, 2030  
that includes the following:  
• A compilation of all foreseeable tasks and their timelines including: charging  
infrastructure development; planning and implementation of a short-haul truck  
program, and creation of a truck registry.  
• Development of key policy concepts such as additional revenue source  
mechanisms and guidelines to utilize them; and, new lease provisions for ZE  
truck requirements. This section should include the process required for  
consideration and adoption by the Board as well as their projected hearing  
dates.  
• Compilation and analysis of truck data (e.g., truck ownership, delivery distances  
within the San Diego region and beyond) needed to prepare the transition plan.  
2. Prepare a baseline of 100,000 truck trips consisting of heavy duty diesel and  
natural gas truck trips. Utilize the baseline for projecting truck transition from  
diesel and natural gas to zero emission per the transition benchmarks above.  
3. Edit the MCAS Definitions to add trucking-related definitions as follows:  
a. Trucking Company - Licensed motor carrier registered with the Secretary of  
State, registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.  
b. Independent Trucker - A person that has their own operating authority, like  
the licensed motor carrier and operates one truck all on their own.  
c. Owner Operator - A person that owns a truck but does not hold any  
operating authority. To be clear, Owner Operator is not a legal definition with  
regards to employment status, only the relationship between the owner and their  
equipment.  
d. Truck Driver - A person that holds the proper license to drive the  
equipment.  
4. Edit the MCAS language in Section s3.1 Assumptions and Advancements to  
read as follows:  
a. "Maritime tenants and businesses create important maritime workforce jobs  
for the region. The maritime terminal workforce includes longshore workers,  
terminal operators, and administrative employees, trucking companies and  
independent truckers, rail employees, transportation service providers, and  
others. The MCAS initiatives, including the development of clean technology,  
should support the existing workforce, but must balance workforce growth and  
economic development with achieving health equity for those that have been  
most disproportionately impacted by port and port tenant operations. The port  
acknowledges that the following conditions and advancement are important to  
help meet the MCAS long-term goals.  
Capability: The state of heavy-duty truck technology meets the load and  
daily mileage requirements, including cargo movements within the port's marine  
cargo marine terminals, and are commercially available for cargo transported to  
and from the port's marine cargo terminals  
Infrastructure: Zero emission infrastructure is available and accessible.  
Capital Expenditures: Procurement costs of zero emission vehicles and  
equipment will continue to be partially offset by grant subsidies and other  
financing mechanisms to help achieve parity with traditionally powered vehicles  
and equipment. Additionally, it assumes technologies and markets will continue  
to mature.  
Commercial Availability: Commercial availability of vehicles and equipment  
will continue to increase, particularly with specialized equipment, such as  
electric, top handlers and autocarrier trucks.  
Education and training: The port will help promote the number of trained  
service personnel to repair and maintain zero emission equipment and vehicles  
to help ensure that there is no undue disruption of cargo and maritime  
operations."  
5. Include 2-year MCAS check ins that will be an opportunity to relook at these  
specific goals, analyze various sign posts and potentially make changes. The  
2-year reviews will include looking at baseline, reforecasting, feasibility, state of  
technology, elasticity, health studies and funding availability.  
The Board adopted Resolution 2021-131. The motion carried by the following
