i urge you to take the only action you can to improve conditions at lake merced and do not approve the mou and structure staff to develop a management plan for the lake and develop a master plan for the like. it deserves it. >> thank you. >> i'm with the committee to save lake merced. i'm going to assume you read my letter. i know it's five pages long and my friend called it the opus magnum or something like that. i made all the points about why this mou is bad and now want to make another couple points. i think it's interesting that rec & park will be speaking after all of us began what i expect you will hear is a series of promises. they have already taken this mou to one of their commission committees and it has been approved before you folks approve it. they submitted a staff memo with 11 things they're going to do out there. but you cannot roll up 0 with a promise. likewise, you can't -- you can't wrote a boat with a promise. this poor little guy can't catch a fish with a series of broken promises. i'm personally tired of hearing promises that we're going to do this at lake merced are

we have recognized the ultimate authority with the lake merced tract rests with this mission. it is your responsibility. what the mou does is increase is our involvement on a day-to-day basis in the lake merced basin and is advised that there be an annual meeting with stakeholders and that we work closely -- and specifies that there be an annual meeting with stakeholders. the leases are a key component of this. we talk about rec and park is this large thing. it boils down to three areas. the harding robot house, a golf course, and the pacific rod and gun site. those are the leases out there for recreational purposes byrd the golf course, everyone is clear that should stay with rec and park. the puc needs to take responsibility for the pacific rod and gun club lease. that leaves the harding boathouse lease. one of the things that we have in here in resolution as an acknowledgment of the lake merced watershed report. a stakeholder-driven process to assess the watershed and make recommendations for improvement. it is not gone through ceqa review. but it serves as a strong basis for going forward with improvements on th

i'm not happy that the mou -- i hear what a lot of the task force members from lake merced are saying because i don't think the mou is significantly different enough to squarely say who should be responsible for what. one thought mashhad is to put a tight timeline on this and instead of a five-year mou, possibly look at a six month proposal where we say to rec & park to come back and us -- come back to us in the six months -- and i'm not ready to make a motion, with a plan for recreational activities more clearly outlined that allegis stock, with budget numbers and -- because it does not clearly delineate those activities. it would be a plan and a budget and there needs to be some real progress in these next six months on all of these outlined activities you say are going to take place because there clearly hasn't been any progress. the staff is not even showing up for the meetings. that might be just from the public, we are hearing. but we know the lake is continuing to deteriorate and there is not proper management, and we've got to do something to move this forward. if we're still

the second issue is if the mou -- i think of lake merced as having three -- it doesn't touch the golf course. it leaves status quo on the golf course. the second issue is the rod and gun club. if we do not approve the mou become a the rod and glove -- rod and gun club stays with recreation and park. if we don't approve the mou, that it stays. the third issue is the boat club and i guess recreation on the lake itself. that is really what most of our discussion has been about. moth>> thank you for that clarification. if we reject the mou, it means that rec & park stays in management of the boathouse and the gun club. that has been one of the key points of contention. i have a proposed amendment that might address that that is what i have been talking about which is giving six months. >> it is a substitute motion. >> a substitute motion that is a six month time line that would be accepting of the mou but with a specific deliverable says commission would be to seek to renew or amanda mou -- renewed or amend the mou. >> for clarification, if we move the mou and we don't have to take anythi
