SUBJECT
Resolution 2006-087Authorizing the Lease of City-Owned Property at 906 East Stuart Street for
Up to Two Years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Ongoing building maintenance and utility costs will be paid for by the Tenant. The Tenant will
pay to the City $5 per year for leasing the property.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The property at 906 East Stuart was acquired by the City of Fort Collins in 1985 for use by the
Sunshine School to offer child care services. Community Development Block Grant Funding
("CDBG") was used to purchase the property. All Tenants of this facility must meet the criteria
of the national CDBG objective by serving a majority (51% or more) of low-moderate income
clients below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). Sunshine School closed its doors in 2005.
Through the City's Purchasing Department, a Request for Proposals ("RFP"), Proposal Number
P1026, was distributed in the summer of 2006, looking for qualified non-profit tenants. Staff
received proposals from River Song Waldorf School and The Family Center. The selection
committee selected River Song Waldorf School as the qualified tenant.
The proposal from River Song Waldorf School is to operate a year-round early childhood
program, and other associated uses, for pre-kindergarten children. Since this site has historically
been used as a child care center, the use is permitted in the LMN zoning district. River Song
Waldorf School meets all requirements of the RFP and will be beneficial to the community.
Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Lease Agreement with
River Song Waldorf School.
