EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City has entered into an agreement to purchase Lot 15 Block 33 with a scheduled closing date
of February 28,2000. The lot is being purchased as part of the Civic Center Master Plan,and is the
only parcel on Block 33 that is not currently owned by the City. Currently, there are two leases in
effect on the property. One is a residence lease of 304 North Howes Street and one is a business
lease for the structure at 304'/z North Howes Street.
The City's use of this block is still being planned; therefore, staff would like to continue the lease
with the current residential tenant and negotiate a new lease for the business space for a period of
up to two years, with the City having the option to terminate at any time with a sixty-day notice to
the tenants. The lease term would remain as it currently is for the residence at$775 per month and
lease the business for at least$750 per month. The proposed lease agreements would be ready to
be signed and become effective at the closing for the purchase of the land.
