August 17, 2010 - HISTORIC TRANSFER AGREEMENT SIGNED FOR TREASURE ISLAND
Mayor Gavin Newsom and Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, joined by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, signed the historic agreement for the transfer of Treasure Island to San Francisco.

Appointed by Mayor Willie Brown to serve on the TIDA board of directors in 2001, Claudine has served as the TIDA director and its President from 2002-2008. Claudine was subsequently reappointed to continue her serve on the TIDA board in November of 2009. Read More.

This is the singularly most significant experience I have had in terms of my civic involvements in the City. The redevelopment process of Treasure Island was about planning and building a new neighborhood from ground up. Being part of the TIDA board, I have the opportunity to make policy decisions involving every aspect of the development, including land use, housing, transportation, open space, the environment, how the project will be financed without burdening the City's General Fund and every aspect of community benefits that will improve the quality of living of future residents.

Having been through so many years of planning and one of the most extensive public input processes for projects of this magnitude, it is very exciting to be where we are today: with the signing of the transfer agreement, the release of the Environmental Impact Report and the final phase of negotiation with the prospective master developers."

Established in 1941 as a Naval Base, Treasure and Yerba Burna Islands ("Treasure Island") first received worldwide attention when it was selected as the site of the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939. The former Naval Based was selected for closure in 1993 and in 1997, the Treasure Island Development Authority ("TIDA") was established by state and local legislation to oversee the administration of the island as well as to plan its redevelopment. An island of 404 Square Miles, Treasure Island currently has over 2000 residents and is the home of the largest Job Corp program of the United States Department of Labor.
