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 site analysis. The lease requires SPHERE to provide public access, including free public parking security monitoring for safety, and complete vegetation maintenance to reduce fire risk.
