    The main agenda item at this meeting will be a presentation of a 
GGNRA Staff Report on the Golden Gate Bridge Seismic Upgrade Project. A 
public hearing on this project was held on Wednesday, December 13, 1995 
at the Board of Supervisors and Planning Chambers, Marin County Civic 
Center, San Rafael, California. An overview of the Golden Gate Bridge 
District Seismic Retrofit Project was presented to this Advisory 
Commission on August 16, 1995 by Merv Giacomini, District Engineer, 
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District. The major 
impacts to the park are anticipated to be on lands directly under the 
bridge, at Fort Point National Monument (requiring the Fort to close 
for several days a week during the one-year construction period), the 
Fort Scott area of the Presidio (which will be a staging area for 
construction work), and the north end of the bridge. Following approval 
of the Staff Report and approval of a Negative Declaration by the 
Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District board, and a 
Finding of No Significant Impact by the Federal Highway Administration 
and the National Park Service, a permit for construction activities on 
GGNRA land will be issued by the National Park Service incorporating 
agreed upon mitigation.
    Also on the agenda at this meeting will be briefings on the status 
of a park
