On October 24, 2019, the Commission authorized a short-term three-year lease to the SPHERE Institute for a shoreside park. The lease gives the SPHERE Institute site control to conduct studies and complete a site analysis. The lease requires SPHERE to provide public access, including free public parking security monitoring for safety, and to complete vegetation maintenance to reduce fire risk.
