The City’s bond attorneys have finally issued an opinion on whether it’s the city council or the CMPA that makes the decision about the proposed lease for YMCA at the Community Maritime Park.

Therefore, the city council must approve the lease and the mayor sign off on it before the CMPA can execute the lease.
