would be ready to vote on it today.

i hope they take the time to look carefully at some of the issues that have been raised. i am happy to have that discussion. i know a number of concerns have been raised including pierre 29 about whether or not the >> 1% of sales of condominiums and that is being accumulated, and i think a number of those issues zero. to whether or not the city and county of santa skull and the taxpayers are getting a fair deal. we want america's cup to be in san francisco, but we want to make sure that we protect the interest of taxpayers. we don't want to give away the store. i look forward to the conversation between now and the

time that the development agreement comes before us. i want to thank the staff worked very hard on this. it is inclusive of everyone in san francisco, every single member hud endeavors in the district is part of this process. we are all part of the project because it can't be for one segment of the population. >> i am very much going to be voting to uphold its tonight. i know it is not before us tonight, certainly an issue in district 2, where i represent. i know it is to be worked out.

thousands of the volunteers came out and it will need to be somewhat prepared after america's cup. i want to make sure that it is top of the mind for folks. i want to commend the event authority for working with the neighborhood so far. it is something want to make sure we're looking forward to. >> i want to thank you for adopting the various amendments for the motion the firm's debts. i also want to emphasize that i don't think the of this deal is done. there are still in business terms the need to be resolved.

i still share concerns about the real estate points about this pier 29 is appropriately part of the future long-term development plan on the financial side. i want to make sure we have a deal that is fair to the city and the port. it is not for us to consider. it is for us to be engaged in conversations. i'd think we all know that they have the number of legs. with this approval, it is time for us to go to the next leg and the hope that we approve this tonight and move it forward. >> i started this hearing looking at this with a lot of skepticism and i ever looked at my role in improving the project

as coming forward with coming to the table with skepticism. overall, i am concerned about costs. i believe what was presented with a row and adequate. they were created for the conditions of moving forward on how america's cup will be organized. i have questions remaining. and these things are going to be key for me as was assuring that what i had been part of approving in december 2010, the

red be no hint of a general fund. about if we're going to afford of the mitigating measures that have been appointed to in this. we'll look through in the budget process how we can assess those issues. >> i will be voting for them, that strengthens -- i think it is important about having these discussions to keep the big picture in mind about how significant america's cup is.
