AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: September 21, 2004
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Helen Matson
Phil Carpenter
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 150, 2004, Authorizing the Lease of City-owned Property at 149
Grandview Road for Up to Five Years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Rent collected from this lease will result in at least $10,000 in unanticipated revenue to the
Cemetery Fund. Tenant will pay gas and electricity expenses.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City built this house for use by the Cemetery Superintendent. Since this position has been
eliminated, the City does not need to use this house as a staff residence. CLRS staff considered
moving the building to Roselawn Cemetery to be used as a maintenance facility. Researching this
option, staff concluded that it would not be cost effective to move and remodel the house into a
maintenance shop.
In the future, the area where the house is located will be needed for more cemetery space. Prior to
that time, renting the house will generate income that the Cemetery staff can utilize to build the
needed maintenance shop at Roselawn. Staff also believes vandalism can be discouraged by
keeping the house occupied.
This Ordinance will allow City staff to keep the house rented for up to five years.
