J 5. Reports
a. Lease with Park Tavern
The Executive Director gave a brief update on the report before Council.
It was moved by Commissioner Hanks, seconded by Commissioner Tschida, to
approve the lease with the additions as noted by the Di rector of Community
Development.
Commissioner Mitchell noted the lease lacks definition and how would that
be worked out, i.e. expansion for parking.
The Executive Director said there was provision in the lease calling for
the tenant to place parking blocks on the south end so as to define and
terminate the area used for parking.
In response to a question from Vice-president Friedman, the Executive Director
said the Authority had directed a figure of $300/mo.
Vice-president Friedman was concerned as to why taxes were not included
in the rent, thus protecting the Authority from getting into a bind should
they not be paid. He asked if the lease could not be amended so that taxes
will be included in monthly rental and subject to change from year to year
as the taxes change.
Also, he noted an inconsistency in termination notice: one place stated
15 days, elsewhere 30 days.
