. >> i am president of the san francisco marina harbor association. i just want to let you know we are pleased with the progress on the harbor. it is a great project and moving ahead. there is one area i was asked to speak to you about. our last annual meeting was in november. there is an unfunded portion of the harbour east of golden gate yacht club that has attracted a lot of interest, especially among small vote owners. there is an area permitted for 36 slips, and it is supposed to cost just $1 million. it is a very economic project as dredging has been done. very good return on investment here we have had many people would like to put up the money. basically, the harbor trust has over $4 million in surplus. that money is supposed to be spent on the harbor. we have asked rec and park to focus on the idea. we understand there is some kind of deadline coming up mid- january forecasting those additional pieces. if not, the cost rises quite sharply. we understand there might be various proposals for that. we are just asking you to put a lot of attentio
