Al --


We've just learned that the Office of the Mayor will try to push the marina
project through this coming Wednesday by packaging it with a separate
project - a long-term lease for the Treasure Island Sailing Center.

This move comes despite the failure of the developers to live up to the
terms of the stakeholder agreement reached last year.

Friends of the Sailing Center, US Sailing, BayKeeper and the Sierra Club
have all spoken out to oppose this move.

Please take a moment to email the Supervisors voting on Wednesday and urge
them to vote NO on the marina lease and vote yes on the Sailing Center
lease: Supervisor Sandra Fewer, Committee Chair,
(SandraFewer at sfgov.org); Supervisor
Rafael Mandelman (rafael.mandelman at sfgov.org); and Supervisor Catherine
Stefani (Catherine.Stefani at sfgov.org).

Supervisor Matt Haney who represents District Six, which includes Clipper
Cove, won't be voting in this Committee hearing on Wednesday, but his
support his crucial.  You can email him at matt.haney at sfgov.org

Under the Mayor's current proposal there is no plan to mitigate the risk of
the Cove filling-in due to sedimentation generated by the new marina and
the new entrance channel (a problem frequently experienced in other marina
projects). There is no analysis calculating the financial risk for the
City. And there is no consideration for current berth holders with small
and medium sized boats.

In addition, the developers continue to insist that the environmental
analysis of the threat to the sea grass beds (new sedimentation and
maintenance dredging) be conducted in the BCDC permit process *after* the
City signs a 66-year lease.

The public is already sacrificing part of Clipper Cove for a private luxury
marina. In return the developers should meet all of the requirements in the
stakeholder agreement, in full.

Victories often need to be defended lest we lose our progress.  This is one
of those moments.

Thank you so much for your help!
