police officers and the people all support. this is their jobs program and it's not just intended to be at glen eagles. it's about apprenticeship and we are excited about it and the community is excited about it and i am sympathetic to the speaker that spoke before me because i understand conversations needed to take place in the event it was going to fall through but it wasn't going to fall through because we have been doing our homework and the conversations with the mayor's office, dpw and theresa is here and does the contract negotiations. it's been transparency and out in the open for years. it's good work, good governance. it's going to be incredibly popular. we just need to make sure to tee it up, no pun intended, right. i know we're prohibited from delivering the water there.

>> >> and phil is great at getting creative. we administered apprenticeship programs that didn't exist before and i am excited about it. i hope you find a way to move forward even though issues will be presented we will get this thing done. thank you very much. welcome to the commission. thank you for your support in advance. >> thank you. [applause] >> one more. okay. if there is anyone else that wants to speak can you please line up against the wall? thank you. >> thank you vice president low, commissioners, commissioner wei welcome. i invite you personally to the tour of glen eagles at your earliest convenience, general manager ginsburg. it's my privilege and honor to hold the lease in the last nine years, a course that i grew up playing as a young person in san francisco. the course i grew in love with and the game of golf. in the past

nine years we have done an incredible amount of work to restore specifically the greens which have been the prized asset at glean eagles. pull public golf courses are a little bit scuffy. the pictures were taken at probably the lowest point in nine years nine months when the lease was on a month to month situation, when the water was increased 40% by order of the puc for specific reasons related to the drought, and it's very difficult as an operator to know how much you should invest when the certainty of your business is in question so i ask to you look at the pictures but with a grain of salt. if you go out today because we have certainty we're moving forward as partners you will see a tremendous a lot much of grass growing in all areas. we have some areas we turned

off the water because we want to be responsible in the third year of the drought. there are areas that we literally turned off the water and specifically off the tee boxes and 150-yards where the balls should not be. we turned off the water and that's the pictures you're looking at. it's a responsible decision we made because we're under a lot of pressure with regards to holding on to our precious resource. the work we did together over the last nine months to negotiate a lease has been tremendous. the aid that the department is willing to give to the golf course will help it make a more sustainable model. it will help improve the course so the golfers are happy. the most important part and exciting part is how we opened up glen eagles. that's one of the mandates when i took over the lease nine years, nine months ago, tom you have to open

up glen eagles. it's been closed to the community for too long. i know what they're talking about. i was part of that community and we did open it up and i think the testament of the community leader who is testified today proves that and we're not done yet. we want to finish the job we started. we look forward working with the recreation and park department in doing that. thank you very much. >> thank you. [applause] >> okay. is there anyone else that would like to make public comment? did you want to sir? no. okay. >> [inaudible] >> on this issue. okay. public comment is closed. commissioners we now need a vote on whether to hold closed session to confer with real property negotiator and council -- >> is there a motion. >> a motion to go to closed session. >> second. >> all in favor? any opposed? we move to closed session.

>> wonderful. hello i am bradley william cross and a service disabled combat veteran and a social entrepreneur and a footballer or a soccer player. i am here to talk to you about nominating arnie stadium as a national landmark. >> harney -- >> harney stadium -- correct, the building that is now designated candlestick park and candlestick park was close thursday week after 54 years of consective service serving the community of california. harney stadium or better known as candlestick park is the first full rebar structure built as a stadium to be designed by architect john bowls. john bowls is a master. he has been

recognized. his information is held at the harvard library for architectural design. all of these cases in point to include the last historical review assessment of candlestick park need to be rereviewed and why we bring this today because we seek to nominate candlestick park as a national landmark because it deserves the recognition. on that note i hope we have the opportunity to bring new business to you to show you our designs and plans to renovate candlestick park, to revitalize our stadium and bring a major league soccer franchise to our city which we obsesan -- deserve. san francisco has the longest

association and longer than many other leagues. because of this reason and because we understand the time table is we're asking for a one year moratorium on the detrukz of candlestick. the reason for this is because we request a new historical assessment because the one provided is both incomplete and inaccurate. with 38 seconds left i would like to say for the last 12 years i served our country over overseas and worn my san francisco ball cap and in my heart. while i was in afghanistan the giants got to win and i didn't get to see it and my grandfather told me this: do you know what makes candlestick great? it belongs to the people and i want to make sure it stays with the people. thank you very much for your time and i look forward to
