Council Member Corbett spoke regarding the UCSF issue and said it is <br /> changing almost daily. She said the City of Alameda made a bid to <br /> offer ferry service to UCSF for a one-year period. She said the UCSF <br /> location in Alameda was contingent upon transportation, and they <br /> rejected the location based on only being able to get a one-year <br /> commitment for the ferry.
