Discussion Regarding Proposed Lease of City Property at 2512 Davis Street to <br />SJ Amoroso <br />Tara Peterson gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding the Lease of City Property <br />at 2512 Davis Street to SJ Amoroso. She explained that the City was approached by <br />SJ Amoroso, the contractor for the WPCP project, who asked if the vacant building at <br />2512 Davis Street is available to lease to store construction items during the WPCP <br />project. The building was purchased by the Redevelopment Agency in 2009 in <br />anticipation of the Eden Road extension project. It has been vacant since the City <br />acquired it and was vacant for some time prior to that. Redevelopment Agency <br />transferred the property to the City. Leasing the property would bring income of <br />$2,664 per month to the City and eliminate the attractive nuisance. There has been <br />vandalism and theft at the property. SJ Amoroso would like to lease the property for <br />18 months and possibly longer based on the project. <br />Discussion ensued. Councilmember Souza asked if SJ Amoroso would be making <br />any changes to the building. Ken stated that SJ Amoroso will be securing the building <br />at its expense. The building would be used for storage of construction equipment. <br />Uche stated that the property was acquired for the Eden Road project and would be <br />demolished. The Eden Road project will start in 18 months at the earliest, so staff <br />sees positives all around. Councilmember Cutter asked if there is a clause in the <br />contract that SJ Amoroso cannot lease the property to someone else, and that they <br />cannot have parties. Lianne stated that there should be something in the lease that <br />states the restrictions. One area that is being discussed is restricting property use in <br />industrial areas related to entertainment purposes. Councilmember Souza asked if <br />the money from the lease would go to the general fund. Lianne stated that staff <br />needs to get clarification on the status of Redevelopment and the restrictions to <br />legally do anything with the property right now. Tara stated that she mentioned that <br />the property was transferred to the City back in March. Lianne stated that the transfer <br />is now considered invalid as of the first of the year. This should be discussed with the <br />City Attorney's office to determine if the City can enter into a lease for a property that <br />was acquired with Redevelopment Funds. Otherwise, the State could potentially seize <br />the property. Councilmember Souza stated that, pending City Attorney approval, she <br />would like to know where the revenue will go if Council approves the lease <br />agreement. <br />Committee Recommendation <br />The Committee recommended the lease for Council approval, provided the City <br />Attorney's office finds that the lease will not be in violation of any State statutes. <br />4.
