EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Adoption of this Ordinance authorizes the terms of the lease for 101 Remington Street and will
permit the Larimer County Treasurer's office to remove the Leased Property from the tax rolls in
accordance with Section 31-15-(801 and 802) C.R.S. This will result in lower lease costs for the
City. In order to have this leased space become tax exempt, it is necessary to have the Council
approve the terms of the lease by Ordinance. The Library needs to move its Technical Services
(processing) function into a 3,794 square foot facility at 101 Remington Street, Suites F,M, 0 and
Q. to meet the growing demands for space at the main library. The gross rental for this facility is
$2,716.17 per month,including taxes. This amount will be reduced after approval of the Ordinance.
The amount of tax abatement, (and the rent reduction amount) will be determined by the Latimer
County Assessor's Office. The City's other responsibilities as Tenant will be for utilities, routine
janitorial, maintenance, and personal property insurance.
The term of this lease runs from Februaryl, 1999 until January 11,2004, with the option of a third
year anniversary cost of living adjustment not to exceed 4% annually, and annual cost of living
adjustments thereafter.
