. >> thank you, jerry cadahan. from the city of lake merced. these guys are young. i have been at it 19 years, 1993, october 1993. my daughter volunteered me. because she thought i knew something about aquifers and water drafts and still this. i got involved in 1993, first thing i did is find out there had been a study done. this is the basic study, this is the appendixes, by jill resources consultant, inc. i got this from a parent that it was buried somewhere. and then what happens next. we starting having public meetings out there. i would organize public meetings and in the conference room. no progress was made whatsoever with one exception. in 1995 with the help of josh millstein, we got a resolution out of this commission. basically threatening the golf clubs with litigation if they didn't stop overdrafting the aquifer. no progress was made because the manager of the olympic club would have nothing of it. in 2001 i filed in a committee and three lawsuits. and then i had lunch with the executive director of cal-tron. all of a sudden when this was filed by richar
