32 | say, 'Hear from Kemper as to its ideas about the Chuck Corica Golf Complex, and there will be no report. It's very possible. It may be, that they're not City staff, they're not obligated to submit an advance copy of their report. So, it may be that what we get an agenda item that says 'Listen to a report from KemperSports regarding its ideas and concepts for the Chuck Corica Golf Complex, and nothing more. That's what Bob predicts -- that we won't get anything at all before the meeting, that we'll have to go there and be surprised. I think we need to, obviously, gather the troops. I hesitated to do it too early, you don't want to let people too early because they lose their focus. Is there any way you can change the Men's Club meeting? Commissioner Schmitz: "I don't know that it's necessary to change the meeting. I think we need to rally the troops once again, including Junior Golf, including Alameda High, including the Men's Club, including the Commuters. I think we need to fill the Council chambers. Chair Sullwold: "We need to show that we care about what happens with this Golf Complex. We can't lose our momentum. I know we've done it about eight times, and it's very frustating that nothing happens and I think they're trying to wear us down." Commissioner Schmitz: "The message has been clear by all the stakeholders at this golf course that they want 36 holes and they want the Mif Albright course. I think, once again, that we need to line up the speakers and say that.' Chair Sullwold: "I have an email list consisting of all the people who've pledged support for the Mif Albright, and I will be sending out an email, hopefully tonight, to them as well as all the women in the Women's Golf Club, and mentioning it tomorrow in the general meeting of the Women's Golf Club. It's important to get a lot of people there and be willing to put in a speaker slip even if all you do is stand and say I believe two 18 hole courses and the Mif Albright Par 3 where it is. We need lots of people. I think that they don't listen to me anymore is the problem." Commissioner Gammell: "I think l'll get up and say, "How can you possibly lose park land.' Commissioner Schmitz: "It's cumulative. I think who makes the impact is when the Alameda High Girls team gets up in their jackets. It's hard for Council members, and you've got some new ones there, they look out there and everybody out there has a unified message." Unknown asked: "Does anyone know his [Councilmember Bonta's] position on any of this?" Chair Sullwold: "He had a meeting with Joe, Tony and me after the election, but before he took office, and it lasted a couple of hours, and we presented him with a lot ot material. He didn't express any positions, but he was very up to speed already, asked some really good questions, asked for some more information, which we forwarded to him after the meeting." Commissioner Schmitz: "I think, unfortunately, I know we've done this time and time again, but I think we have to do this again. I think that the Mayor at the last Council meeting that Jane and I were at, she did express frustration that this has not been resolved and let's get this done. She directed the City Manager to move forward on 5 Golf Commission Minutes -Wednesday, January 19, 2011 |
