the reason there is habitat is john maclaren created this golf course. one because mckenzie was the greatest golf course architect in history. this was done for private parties. this is his only sea side public course. and it was the first tournament of the western states golf association. one of the oldest and largest african american golf societies in america. the group primarily responsible for making sure that the pga tour is fully integrated. the work proposed is not drenched up on a dirty napkin in somebody's kitchen. this is an on going discussion taken place over many years by the very responsible planners and scientist and workers and staff. i submit to you this is responsible stewardship of a treasured asset. the fact is that the golf course and the species have coexisted for over 80 years. i submit to you most respectfully that this work and this staff should be commended and not criticized. we urge you again to support and adopted the mitigated negative declaration. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is teddy collin
