Board forwards Treasure Island Fire Academy lease amendment after TIDA presentation
Summary
The Board moved without objection to forward a fourth amendment to the Treasure Island Firefighting Training Center master lease to extend the term until November of next year; TIDA said the sublease is for public purpose and the amendment exceeds the Charter’s 10‑year threshold.
Mirin Syed, director of island operations at the Treasure Island Development Authority, asked the Board to approve a fourth amendment to the Firefighting Training Center master lease between TIDA and the United States Navy to extend the lease through November of next year.
Syed explained that TIDA has served as caretaker of the island for more than 15 years, that certain properties are used under mass releases for public‑purpose subleases, and that the Fire Academy sublease does not generate income for TIDA. “By approving the Fire lease again, may you extend this till November of next year and the sublease is for a public purpose,” Syed said. She also said the amendments exceed the 10‑year threshold described in Section 9.118(b) of the Charter and therefore require Board approval.
The Board opened the item to public comment, heard none, and a motion to send the item forward with recommendation was made and carried without objection.
The transcript does not include a budget analyst report for this item; Syed said the original lease term was 15 years and apologized that the matter was not included in the prior set of approvals. The record shows the Board approved forwarding the amendment for formal consideration; no roll‑call vote or dissenting remarks were recorded in the transcript.
