[inaudible] and mr. ace washington. >> good afternoon. my name is tom [inaudible] represent the mission bay alliance who as you know is concerned fwht impact the warriors arena project on sth environment in mission bay south. when i look through the
5:13 pm
package i see that there the justification for not conducting sequa review thoof decision you are asked to make on the items is that this is not a action by you that changes the environment and that is not correct because you are aprubing the raising of money that is sfent to build infrastructure that changes the physical environment and this is a step in the process leading to that result. what you pneed to do is go back and have the staff determine how to comply with sequa. right now the staff memo says the-refunding bonds don't constitute a action that change the environment. it doesn't say about the new money bonds. all the proposed resolution and the same rational for
5:14 pm
bonds, your budget prove authderizes expendsture and the resolution utherize the raising the pluny soy you take 2 actions that do lead to changes in the physical environment and your legal for not applying sequel doesn't pass muster, so my client would ask that you apply the law sequa and figure out if what you are doing is going to have impacts that need to be mitigated. this is a of great concern to my client because it mission bay south redevelopment plan is tied at the hip with the warriors project. the infrastructure serves the other development in mission bay south and warriors arena. you have a change since the 1998 eir from separate storm and waste water sewer system to combined leading to increase flow which the eir for
5:15 pm
the warriors project says ecseeds the capacity of the mariposa pump station. you have changes and the frustructure you are paying for triggered by the development of the warriors arena.
