A Vote, or a Facsimile Thereof, for Presidio

SAN FRANCISCO-After months of delays, members of the Presidio Trust, which is charged with preserving and enhancing the Presidio, will finally vote on the $600 million Presidio development plan, but not in person.

SAN FRANCISCO-After months of debate on a roughly $600 million plan to develop the Presidio of San Francisco, members of the board that oversees the national park will take their final vote in the next week or two–by fax.

Trust spokesman Ron Sonenshine says the seven members of the Presidio Trust delayed their vote last month to accommodate critics who asked for more time, but it was clear on July 11 that the panel viewed the Final Presidio Trust Management Plan favorably. He said he could not recall a similar vote-by-fax, but many people are not available to meet in the summer and the trust has already held its required two public meetings this year.

Created by Congress in 1996, the Presidio Trust is charged with preserving and enhancing the 1,491-acre former U.S. Army base’s natural, historic and scenic resources while making it financially self-sufficient by 2013. Their plan calls for 100 acres of additional open space and, if the market is there, a hotel at Crissy Field.
