Dear Mayor and Council Members, I am writing this e mail to request that you take action to ensure that construction of the remaining 9 holes of the Corica Park North Course be resumed and completed in a timely manner.The dispute between the Greenway partners has brought construction to a stop. The Alameda golfing community is now having serious concerns and reservations as to whether the remaining 9 holes might ever be completed. Continued delays in construction would seem to only add significant costs to the completion of this project. Corica Park has the potential of becoming the premier public municipal golf facility in Northern California.
It is not close to realizing that potential. My belief is that nothing will happen to move this project forward and make Corica the invaluable City asset it can be unless you take action to make that happen. Please consider giving this matter your attention and priority. Ed Downing

Corica Park - Greenway's failure to comply with the lease Agreement with the City of Alameda
I recently served two years on the Golf Commission.
Greenway has not worked on the back nine of the North course since the end of December. The work stoppage has been caused by a lawsuit filed by Marc Logan against Greenway Golf Associates for failure to pay Marc Logan the amount owed to him when Mr. Patel became a partner In Greenway.
Marc Logan additionally stated in the lawsuit that the lease agreement requires the city to approve any change in the ownership of Greenway. This was never done when Mr. Patel bought the Stock owned by George Kelly and Ken Campbell.
I would like to see the partners settle the lawsuit and jointly go forward with the completion of the North course. This must be done quickly if the course is to open by the end of 2023.
Marc Logan must be part of Greenway. He is the only one that can complete the construction of the back nine as planned and do it in a timely manner. He has the expertise to not only finish the construction but to also maintain the course for the future.
The projects at the golf course have never had a timeline and when they did were very rarely met.
The City of Alameda needs to have Greenway comply with the lease agreement and resume construction as soon as possible.
