Charter Amendments
VOTE NO
1. 99-YEAR LEASE FOR MANAGING THE SNOOK ISLANDS NATURE AREA AS A NATURE PRESERVE The present Charter provides that City-owned property shall not be leased for more than 20 years without the affirmative vote of the majority of the electors of the City. Through a lease agreement with the City, the County currently manages the Snook Islands Nature Area as a nature preserve. This referendum will extend the lease to allow the County to manage the site as a nature preserve for ninety-nine (99) years.

Shall the above described amendment be adopted?
NO As it turned out, the 99 year lease was a good decision.

VOTE NO
2. 99-YEAR PROPERTY LEASE: BUILD AND
OPERATE NEW YOUTH RECREATION CENTER,
1718 SOUTH DOUGLAS STREET
Currently through a lease agreement with the City, the non-profit
For The Children Inc. operates youth recreation, free/low cost
after-school and summer programs, academic enrichment, mentoring,
employment, and arts services on City property located at 1718
South Douglas Street. For the Children Inc. requests a 99-year
lease to secure funding to build a new larger center to continue
services. A yes vote will extend the lease to 99 years.

Shall the above described amendment be adopted?
NO  Maybe this should have been a YES vote too!
