will have the draft e.i.r. comments and we will complete the plans and pursue the hearings regarding the e.i.r. and the approval of the project and real estate documents. i'm going to walk quickly through the project dripping and then invite them to talk about america's cup venue and the terminal fees as well. here is the diagram of the race area. it is along the northern and northeast waterfront between treasure island and the golden gate bridge. i think the primary locations of the race themselves, this is not the race course. it is not one big large loop. the race course will be a series of turns and different directions within this blue bubble here in effect. with that as the race course, we have a number of different locations as places for people to attend as spectator venues and programmed as america's cup speck tailor venues. i'm go through some of what that looks like. and peers 30, 32 would be the team bases and piers 26 and 28 are other supporting uses for the event authority and the media and team pa

if i read the e.i.r., am i going to find where these numbers came from? in terms of the projected numbers? my question really has to do with if the america's cup in the past took place in spain out in the ocean where nobody saw anything, takes place in auckland out in the ocean where nobody sees anything. then all of a sudden it comes to the bay area and there are billions of people coming here, when, in fact, nobody has had that experience in the first place. and so where do the numbers come from? i am wondering that says thereby hundreds of thousands people here on race day. >> so there was a beacon economics study put out late last year and that is on our website. and it made some assumptions, fairly conservative assumptions, but i think all the points you raise are in there in the sense that this is a new configuration for the america's cup. part of why they're bringing it here is to bring it to more of a populus so naszs can come and see it. there are a lot of assumptions and didn't take into account the america's cup world series events in 2012 and w

taking and will want to build that out and put the full picture in front of people and looking at the e.i.r. approval and saying is this something we, the city, wants to move forward with. obviously there will be costs and the benefits have to be shown to outweigh the costs in a concrete way. president olague: it seems like there is an opportunity to revitalize certain areas like fisherman's wharf and a great opportunity really. >> it is really exciting. and it also comes to -- they call it a reflection point for the waterfront but also an inflection point for the city to say we'll have all this international attention and people coming here and how do we lock that into the benefits we want to take the next step ourselves. that is really the story we want to be able to tell and are starting to do that with some of the parts in the e.i.r. and the different plans coming together but we have to build to that crescendo over the next two years. >> and obviously all the people that were mentioned earlier today and the conversations at some point. >> and we are happy to have all those conversation

and the accuracy -- we will also take any comments from the draft e.i.r. they will all be transcribed and responded to in the comments and responses document. the planning department will provide a copy to those requests to see this. this concludes my presentation and unless you have any questions, i would ask that the public hearing be opened. thank you. >> we open up for public comment? we have no speaker cards. >> sue hester. can i explain an issue ommitted by the staff? ok, i will use it against my time. this site was not posted in compliance with the rules. 801 brannan has one building site on 7th street. this is the secondary entrance and this was ripped off. six days after the document was released, the only visible sign, if you walk around the block, the building itself was not posted. nobody knows what this is like, going through this process. the concourse is where this is held and nobody knows about this. the building was finally posted on the sixth of july. a couple of weeks later -- they should have had 60 days of commons because of the scope o

potentially put this on track to have a response period, which would qualify for the certification of the e.i.r. in early november. other plans through this process will give people a place where they can see what the affirmative plans are for mitigating the impact in the environmental review document, and i think the goal of all of these things is to come together at the end of the process to not only create the informant review that is needed, but create a clearer picture of where we will take the environmental review analysis to create the events that san francisco wants to see. supervisor campos: could you characterize the feelings of the committees assigned to the inventor must -- environmental impact, and how they're feeling, and whether we will be able to address -- address those issues in the next couple of months? >> those issues in conversation tubs are solid-- those conversations have certainly begun. i think we are looking at how best to do that in the context of the ceqa process, but they have been very helpful in being a productive part of the conversation. what we would like to d

minutes with philip which -- would indicate the failure of the general manager to publicly announce and engine dies their controversial e.i.r would show the knowledge of the other items. we're putting in the words, public health, children's health hazards, carcinogens, benno particulates, zinc toxicity, mercury poisoning, dioxide, neural inflamation, pah's, fischer construction, pisces incorporated, city field,s, baycore builders, field turf incorporated, turf kickbacks. we have hard copies of the submitted scoping guidelines. for accuracy and facilitated transcription, the copies were given to this commission and other interested parties. thank you. >> the next speaker? >> i am and retired animal keeper from the zoo. i would like to thank the general manager for inviting me to this event for former employees. i was at the grand parlor by was unable to attend. after i signed my papers i received a notice saying that i could receive a certificate from -- for appreciation. they seemed surprised when i said i was interested and said they would do this at a future date. i received a call that this would be done at the next meet

the yellow shirt. >> paul gal behr, e.i.r. news service. i wanted to bring up that in creating jobs, it's best to take thed orer that franklin roosevelt did it, first deal with a completely out of whack banking system that is exhausting the credit of the nation. >> is there a question in there? >> we can see in europe yesterday this bailout of the -- spirals on and on until it destroys the economy or we stop it. i wanted to bring up that glass-steagall is introduceded in the congress, gone beyond 35 republican and democrat sponsors, both democrats and republicans are pushing for that bill. if i -- i invite anyone in the panel to comment on the relevance of that. >> it's extremely relevant. i was insurance commissioner for eight years of my life and understand what happened when a bad mistake was made in 1998 and glass-steagall was repealed. it should be resfuted for many reasons, some of which you described. >> let me add, the other part of the roosevelt agenda was to create a banking system my colleague has written a very important study o
