Hanson www. ci.little -canad a. mn. us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: April 19, 2013 RE: Donovan Construction Site — Continued Usage Donovan Construction has requested permission to continue to use the site we purchased from the to stage for a construction project they have in the metro area (they have moved the facility to Ham Lake). They would like to use a building /restrooms and some outdoor storage. They would pay for utilities, liability insurance for their operations, and a usage fee of $3200. They may stay on the site to the end of the year. I have told them I would present this to the City Council and that my only concern is we do not want a rental situation that would jeopardize our ability to claim tax exempt status for 2014. That application needs to be filed before June 30th• We did allow Roseville Plumbing to stay on the property past our purchase and we have agreements that could be modified to cover this situation. We also have a request from Q3 to rent one of the buildings for a fabrication project that should take a couple of months. (This would be within the June 30th deadline.) They would also pay a rental fee and be responsible for liability insurance (City to be named as an additional insured). We did not discuss the amount of the rental payment and I am checking with Donovan to make sure this works for them. In this case, we would be helping out a local business with a project and generating a few dollars of income. If you think these are worthwhile options, staff would recommend you authorize rental arrangements subject to review by the City Attorney.
