mr. allison wins. i cannot understand anybody spending the money in preparation for this they plan to spend and not have an impact. no impact seems like a poor return on investment. think about that. there is an alternative. just at the high street pier, quite a large number of dollars were spent to house the facility for tying up fishing boats. that is not used all the time. that would be an excellent place to more a barge or two, up the power boats and the sailboats. -- tie up the powerboats and sailboats. that would likely have no impact or much less impact than aquatic park. there is a viewing area for the jumbo drawn -- jumbotron on the high street, probably equal in size to what there is from aquatic park. i would like that to be considered. thank you. president olague: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am at 10-year member of the south side boating club. thank you for the opportunity to address this eir. my colleagues have spoken eloquently about the culture of the bay. also, there is serious this
