The equipment is located in the upper level of the public works <br /> garage. An MPCA employee checks the equipment about once a week. <br /> The current lease, which expires in November, 1994, is at a cost of $60 month.lhe <br /> first two year lease was at 50 /month. The rent is based upon the estimated cost <br /> of electricity used by the equipment because the space is not necessary for other <br /> activities. <br /> After reviewing the city's electrical bills, staff estimates that the total electricity costs <br /> for the city hall area went up by 10% since 1992, when the last lease was <br /> determined. Therefore, staff recommends increased the lease rate to 70 a month <br /> to MPCA for another two years. This will cover the costs of the electricity for the <br /> equipment. <br /> If you have questions about the types of equipment and the results of the monitoring <br /> of the area, staff will arrange to get this information for you. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Approve a monthly lease with MPCA at $70 /month for two years with the expiration in <br /> November, 1996. <br />
