San Francisco Public Golf Alliance Members

Here is the procedure for  speakers on MONDAY, JUNE 21 PUBLIC BUDGET HEARING AT SUPERVISORS BUDGET COMMITTEE

WHERE:  SF CITY HALL, ROOM 250 (Supervisors' Legislative Chambers, at top of grand staircase)
WHEN:  MONDAY, JUNE 21, STARTING 4:00 PM

This will be a very long meeting.  Speakers will be limited to one minute.

When you arrive, the Budget Committee Staff will, beginning at 3:30 p.m, hand-out "Batch Cards," which will tell you when you can come back to speak.  (Example:  "A" batch people will speak between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., etc.)  You can come at any time, and will be given your "Batch Card," which will tell you when to come back to speak.  SF Public Golf Alliance will have someone outside the chambers, with a "Save Sharp Park" hat, to tell you what's going on (and to collect your letters, if you can't stay). 

A similar public testimony meeting on June 15 went on for about six hours.

We hope that you will not be daunted by this.  But if this will be too much trouble for you, PLEASE write a short one-page letter, identifying yourself and telling YOUR PERSONAL REASONS for wanting to Save Sharp Park Golf Course.  The basic form of the letter is below.

Put your name and address and phone number at the top of the page, date it, sign your name at the bottom, and send it to Richard Harris, at the e-mail/fax address, below.

We will deliver it to the Supervisors, telling them that you wanted to attend the meeting, but were unable to.
Thank you.
