AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: April 21, 2009
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Helen Matson
Phil Carpenter
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 039, 2009, Authorizing the Lease of City-owned Property at 149
Grandview Avenue 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 and household water expense.
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. This house has been a
leased property for Grandview Cemetery since 1999. 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. 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.
