At the July 24, 2006 City Council <br />meeting the Council instructed City staff to prepare an Interim Lease Agreement <br />between the City and the dinner theatre. A short-term lease of seven months <br />that would run from September of 2006 through March of 2007 was discussed at <br />the August 14, 2006 City Council meeting. Several areas were discussed <br />including the revenue model and scheduling considerations. The per ticket <br />revenue model and a base rent model were discussed. Staff has met with the <br />dinner theatre and the YMCA to discuss issues related to rooms and schedules. <br />Staff has also discussed provisions of the interim lease agreement with the City <br />Attorney and Oops Dinner Theatre. The dinner theatre would use the Banquet <br />area, Multi-purpose Room “C” and Room “D”. At the present time negotiations <br />regarding the lease agreement are still ongoing. The main issues revolve around <br />access to the lease space, schedule coordination, and teardown and setup of <br />stage sets, etc. <br /> <br />As part of a potential utilization of offices by the YMCA, City staff obtained a <br />proposal from a local contractor (T&G Builders) to remove two non-load bearing <br />walls to open up the space for larger groups. The cost for the work is $3,100 <br />(see attached proposal). The contractor indicates that the work could be <br />completed in approximately one week. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />As negotiations have not concluded, City staff recommends that the <br />proposed contract go before the City Work Session on September 5th. <br /> <br />
