SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:

Title

Approve the renewal of a Sovereignty Submerged Lands lease with the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida for the police station boat dock on Clearwater’s South Beach and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.

Body

SUMMARY: 

The City of Clearwater leases a small parcel of submerged lands from the State of Florida through the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF) for use as a three-slip docking facility with a boat lift, adjacent to the Clearwater Police Beach Substation (704 Bayway Blvd, Clearwater FL 33767) on Clearwater’s South Beach.  The Lease must be renewed every five years and is of no cost to the City as long as the dock remains in use for fire and rescue purposes.  The previous Lease expired, but due to hurricane delays it is being renewed now with an effective date of November 6, 2024, expiring November 6, 2029.
