Commissioners, im richard harris, the San Francisco public park alliance. We have 6,000 members. Im also a San Francisco resident and have been a golfer in sharp park for most of my life. We support funding for the completion of the eir which is what is good for you on agenda number 9 of the sun ramp. This is 18year process. You hear the controversy here.

And i think we all know what controversy it has become, a lot of ass...
