She commented she would investigate this further and report back to the <br />Council. <br />Council Member Meehlhause supported the lease agreement but recommended the rent rates be <br />increased over the next four years to account for increasing utility expenses. He suggested an <br />inflationary value be added into the rental rate to assure the City's expenses were being covered <br />by the rental rate. <br />Mayor Flaherty supported an inflator being added to the lease as well. He suggested the Council <br />proceed with a one year lease. <br />Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz indicated Mr. Thompson has also requested that the <br />office space be allowed to be accessed from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. seven days a week, including <br />holidays. Staff did not find this to be an unreasonable request in order for him to operate his <br />business. <br />Mayor Flaherty supported this request. <br />Council Member Gunn understood the daycare had a multiple year lease. She inquired if the <br />daycare paid its own utilities. City Administrator Ericson indicated the daycare had a base rent, <br />plus separate charges for utilities and common area maintenance fees. Economic Development <br />Specialist Steinmetz indicated their lease was unique because they used the kitchen space to <br />prepare food for the children at the daycare. <br />Council Member Gunn supported the one year lease and recommended it be reviewed at the end <br />of one year. <br />Council Member Mueller expressed concern with the termination of the lease language and asked <br />if the tenant had the ability to terminate. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz reviewed <br />the default clause language with the Council. She noted she would have the City Attorney <br />review this further. <br />The Council directed Staff to proceed with a one-year lease with Outreach Transportation <br />Services, LLC. with the lease beginning January 15, 2013. <br />E. Resolution 8041, Accepting Miscellaneous Cash Donations for 2012. <br />Finance Director Beer stated by State Statute the Council had to accept all cash donations by <br />Resolution. He appreciated each donation made to the City and reviewed several in detail with <br />the Council. He recommended the Council approve Resolution 8041 accepting miscellaneous <br />donations totaling $8,034.05 for 2012. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller.
