my concern is that we kind of missed an opportunity to find the leaseholder to an appropriate wage forthat work. i don't have the benefit of seeing the actual number, the actual rate of pay for the actual work that needs to be bid out or completed. >> none of them have the actual number. >> is that the admin code? >> that is a section of the sublease. >> we would be happy to bring back that information at the next meeting. you will not see absolute dollar amounts but obviously they change all of the time.

the leasehold area is not within that alternative diagram. public access, we can accommodate that. allowing public access them on the apron. to us, we are very excited about the america's cup. we want to do everything we can to facilitate a successful operation. we would be glad to provide additional information. >> the uncertainty does not bother you as far as the understanding at the moment? >> we are willing to accommodate whatever you need across the premises. the issue, i think, is public access. we can change and modify the gate. >> your use of this is displacing the other use of the port? >> we would certainly like to expand our business. we have other products that we would like to introduce. we are also ready to begin the substructure repair work at pier 3. we believe that facilities would allow us to move growth away, so that the contractor can get to the substructure areas and allow us to continue to operate pier 9. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for your time. >> i am the regional director. i just wanted to echo some of the things that we heard earlier. particular

is a leap for all of us, but i do not think there is a way we could definitively go back to the leaseholders in the yacht harbor. i just want to put out there that there are problems, then we come back and use that as a solution. i will not support it. it is just -- we cannot keep going back to these folks. i appreciate that they are the beneficiary of these improvements, but before i could possibly support something that i think we would have to exhaust any other possible source of revenue. i just want to make sure we are putting that out there. >> it is a totally valid point. i want to validate this a little bit. the goal of us doing this is actually to save cost to the marina, to save maintenance costs, and to increase the useful life of the docks, which is all designed to create the most efficient and affordable marina we can. >> i understand these folks have been with a sub-par marissa for a long time. we have raised the rent. we still have not had the benefit, and i just cannot go there unless that is the last resort. even then, i do not know how to do it. >> should we get public comme

his father was the original leaseholder, he and his mother. it's a 40,000-acre ranch.ok the lease from 2006-2008 and there are now seven perries on the record that say they went to the ranch to hunt and the sign was still there. perry said it was painted. i don't believe he's a racist, i don't buy in that at all. i give herman cain credit for raising the issue, but he had a problem with the word, not with perry. the problem really is somebody is not telling the truth. the people said they saw it, perry said it wasn't there. so i don't know. >> what bothers me in all this, where is all the scrutiny of cocaine use ofa obama, his radical friend. and we see him during the campaign of hanging out with a person of the new black panther party. nobody picked up on that. >> this is the washington post. and they are running pieces on conservative candidates and republican candidates and they set it up to look like rick perry was a race of the and set it up to create tension between herman cain and rick perry. the facts were kind of muddled. >> but you know what? a few people sai
