EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In August 1999, the City and the Colorado State Board of Agriculture ("State") entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") regarding the Environmental Learning CenterNisitors
Center/Welcome Center (the "Facility") located at 3545 East Prospect Road. Under the terns of
the IGA, the City leased a portion of the Facility from the State. In June 2001, the City entered
into a Sublease Agreement with the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau to sublease the
City's portion of the Facility for convention and visitor services. The sublease terminates
December 31, 2005. The City Purchasing Department anticipates bidding out convention
services in the early part of 2006. The successful bidder will then enter into a new sublease
agreement with the City for use of the Facility. Since the bid is not until the early part of 2006
and this lease terminates at the end of this month, we are requesting approval to extend the
current lease to March 31, 2006.
