STAFF: Phil Carpenter
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2001-25 Authorizing a One-Year Lease of City-Owned Property at 149 Grandview,
I
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Rent collected from this lease will result in at least$12,000 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.Staff considered moving the
building to Roselawn Cemetery to be used as a maintenance facility,but 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 house was rented for 12 months,from November 1, 1999 through October 31, 2000. Staff has
been advertising for new tenants. The new lease will be in effect from March 1, 2001 through
February 28, 2002 and gives the City the option to renew the lease for an additional year.
