TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Daniel Anderson, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation
DATE: September 1, 2015
SUBJECT:
Authorizing the City of Aurora to Enter into a Residential Lease Agreement for 22 West Park Place.
PURPOSE:
Resolution Authorizing the City of Aurora to Enter into a Residential Lease Agreement with Kelvin D. Beene, Property Standards Manager.
BACKGROUND:
The Parks & Recreation Division is interested in leasing the city-owned property at 22 West Park Pl. also known as the Logman house in order to preserve our residential asset and ensure oversight of adjacent McCarty Park. This property was previously leased in 2013 and 2014 by City of Aurora employee Giovani Santana. Employee tenants are required to perform duties not normally associated when renting residential property, including reporting of ordinance violations and maintenance issues at the park; locking and unlocking park gates; advising park users when the park is closed. In exchange for these services, the tenant pays below market rental rates
DISCUSSION:
This residential lease term is through September 30, 2016 after which time it becomes a month to month lease with annual rent increases of 3%. In addition, there is a 60 day termination clause which provides the City the ability to review rental rates and duties on a periodic basis. The rent is $650 per month which is a $50.00 increase over what the previous tenant paid in 2014.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This agreement will provide cost savings on multiple fronts while preserving the City's asset.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In the interest of preserving this residential asset and to have a City employee keep a watchful eye on McCarty Park, I am recommending the City Council approve this residential lease agreement with Kelvin D. Beene."
