DATE: June 1, 1999
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ron Mills/
Phil Carpenter
SUBJECT:
Resolution 99-64 Authorizing a Lease of City-Owned Property at 149 Grandview.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Rent collected from this lease will result in at least$10,800 in unanticipated revenue to the Cemetery
Fund. The 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 in which 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.
Once Council approves the Resolution to rent 149 Grandview, staff will advertise for a tenant.
