Aransas Pass council votes to terminate Handsome Sailor harbor lease, allows 90 days for property removal
Summary
The council voted to terminate the Conroe/harbor lease with operator Handsome Sailor, citing threats to public safety, an unauthorized lease assignment, failure to maintain the property and no proof of liability insurance; the council allowed Lizzie Tom Duran 90 days to remove personal property, with the 90‑day deadline stated as 12/09/2025.
The Aransas Pass City Council voted to terminate the harbor lease with operator Handsome Sailor, saying the tenant violated lease terms and posed hazards to public safety.
A council member moved to terminate the Conroe/harbor lease approved Feb. 21, 2022. In outlining grounds for termination the mover listed four alleged violations: a threat to public safety, assignment of the lease without council approval, failure to upkeep and maintain the property, and no proof of current general liability insurance. The mover stated the termination was to be effective immediately while allowing "Lizzie Tom Duran" 90 days to remove personal property from the premises; the mover specified the 90‑day expiration as 12/09/2025.
Another member seconded the motion. The presiding officer called for the vote; recorded affirmative responses led the presiding officer to declare the motion carried. The transcript records the alleged violations asserted by the mover but does not include a response from the leaseholder or a detailed enforcement plan beyond the 90‑day removal period.
The council adjourned after taking the action.
