MVCC Lease Agreement October 13, 2014 Page 2 Discussion As was mentioned to the City Council at a previous meeting, Ebenezer Management Services, the entity that will be managing the Bel Rae Senior Living facility on County Road 10 (formerly known as “Coventry”), would like to lease an office at the Community Center for the next few months or until construction has been completed. There is one office available, and staff had an opportunity to show the space to an Ebenezer representative who indicated it would suit their needs well. Ebenezer is a well known company offering management services for adult care facilities. According to their website, Ebenezer was founded in 1917 by Minneapolis Lutherans to provide community-centered care for homeless older adults and others in need. Some of the programs and management services Ebenezer provides include independent living, assisted living, memory care, transitional and long-term care, adult and intergenerational day programs, and community-based services. The lease rate for the space will be $500 per month for a minimum four-month period, with month to month extensions at the same rate thereafter. Ebenezer would have access to the City’s Internet connection at an additional cost, and utilities such as heat, electric and waste collection would be included in the monthly rate. Ebenezer would be responsible for its own cable or telephone services, if such were desired. Attached is the draft office space lease agreement for the City Council’s review. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council consider the attached Ebenezer Management Services office space lease agreement at the Mounds View Community Center to commence on or before November 1, 2014. Resolution 8312 is attached for your authorization if so desired. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ James Ericson City Administrator
