How it got here
The legislation originated from the need to terminate leases for the deteriorating Smokehouse structure operated by Scoma's Restaurant due to safety concerns and financial infeasibility.
The Smokehouse was deemed unsafe and red-tagged, leading to the cessation of operations by the sub-tenant.
The Port Commission approved the Mutual Termination Agreement to terminate the leases for the Smokehouse, allowing for demolition without a termination fee.
Port staff recommended the termination of the leases due to the financial inability of Scoma's to redevelop the Smokehouse and the need for demolition for safety and planning purposes.
The Budget and Finance Committee recommended the resolution for the Mutual Termination Agreement.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution authorizing the Mutual Termination Agreement.
The Mayor approved the resolution for the Mutual Termination Agreement.
The Clerk of the Board received the executed Mutual Termination Agreement from the Port Department.
