Reminder - City of Lake Worth Ballot Questions for 11/4 Elections

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?

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 afterschool 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?

I'm surprised that the various candidate forums that I have attended have not addressed these ballot issues. Where do the candidates stand on these? Can anyone represent or explain these questions to the public at the forums?
