Origin
Summary
This report seeks Council authority to allow the Island Yacht Club ("IYC") to enter into a management agreement with a company to be incorporated by the principals of the company that currently operates the Toronto Island Marina (referred to herein as "Manage Co"). It also seeks authority for the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to amend the current lease agreement between the City of Toronto and the Island Yacht Club to allow the Island Yacht Club to enter into the Management Agreement with Manage Co.
This arrangement is to ensure the Island Yacht Club is able to meet its ongoing financial obligations to the City while providing an opportunity to increase its membership numbers. In 2004 the Island Yacht Club's clubhouse was destroyed by fire which caused a significant number of the club's members to relocate their boats to other clubs / marinas. Since then, the Island Yacht Club has struggled to retain its current membership and entice new members, and has fallen into financial hardship. Currently, the Island Yacht Club has fewer than 50 paying members, and operates at a significant deficit. The current scenario is unsustainable. The Club’s operating deficit is expected to continue into the 2015 boating season.
