APPROVAL OF MINUTES  
Approval of minutes for:  
October 12, 2021 - CLOSED SESSION  
October 12, 2021 - BPC MEETING  
The following member(s) of the public addressed the Board with agenda-related  
comments: Danny Serrano, Environmental Health Coalition (with time ceded by Jose  
Franco Garcia).  
Chairman Zucchet asked clarifying questions. Simon Kann, Senior Deputy Counsel,  
responded.  
Commissioner Malcolm, Commissioner Bonelli, Commissioner Moore, Chairman  
Zucchet, and Commissioner Castellanos, provided comments. Mr. Kann, and Joe  
Stuyvesant, President/CEO, responded to Board comments.  
Commissioner Naranjo made a motion to update the minutes to reflect the  
changes in Environmental Health Coalitions letter received on November 7, for  
item 1, item 2, item 3, and item 4; with the exception of "Prohibit the addition of  
new heavy-duty diesel and natural gas trucks in new leases from adding to the  
baseline" in number 2. The update would be as follows:  
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. Adopt 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 s.3.1 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 auto carrier 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."
