by April 1996. The County has the ability to modify and approve any plan that comes before them. Mr. Pico stated there would still be a dual-track system. It's either get this project approved or the County-based project may be developed. As long as the City grants final and effective approvals (past any referendum period at the local level) then the County will negotiate in good faith a tax-sharing agreement. Mr. Swift replied that is correct. Mr. Roush stated the intent was that if the City is moving in that process, that the negotiations will begin. They won't end until those things come about but he did not think that the suggestion is that the negotiations won't begin until the approval process concludes. Council will start the negotiations as it moves along. Mr. Swift commented that the Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy that indicates it won't conclude a tax-sharing agreement until the land use issues are resolved. Craig Harper, 1083 Harvest Circle, stated that he has waited sixteen years for a golf course and wants it included in the project.

She believed that the plans before Council had been well thought out as a result of hard work and a compromise of a lot of people. Further delays will only jeopardize the process. Jan Batcheller, 644 St. Mary Street, asked Council to proceed with the specific plan and _ approve the letter of agreement. She felt there was still time for workshops and public input, if necessary. Ms. Batcheller commented that San Francisco had scaled down the density of its project, given the City a twenty acre park, an option on 17 more acres plus the three acres 01/02/96 -19-
