Mounds View City Council December 8, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 10 • H. Resolution 6153, a Resolution Approving a Lease Agreement to Allow TCN Chamber to Relocate its Office to the Mounds View Community Center. Economic Development Coordinator Backman provided a calendar and indicated the items in black are scheduled by the Mermaid and those in red by the previous management. He then noted that the new management has scheduled well in excess of several dozen events to occur over the next few months. Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that the Mermaid has proposed to utilize some of the former Community Education space for the offices for the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce offices. They have agreed to relocate from Fridley to the Mounds View Community Center on January 1, 2004 if approved. Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that the estimated rent would be approximately $1,160 per month and they would be renting approximately one quarter of the community education area. He then indicated that the payments are to be made to the Mermaid as long as the Mermaid is the manager of the facility. He further indicated that Staff recommends approval pending any recommended changes from the City Attorney. City Attorney Riggs indicated he has been working on this matter and the proposal seems credible so there is just the matter of working out the final document. • Mayor Linke indicated that the document would need to indicate that the City is included. City Attorney Riggs indicated that would be one of the issues to work out. Mayor Linke indicated that what is being approved is a sublease because the Mermaid is leasing from the City and the Chamber would be leasing from Mermaid. City Attorney Riggs indicated that is one of the issues to work out because there is no lease there is a management agreement. He then said the concept is workable and recommended that the involved parties sit down and work out the details. City Attorney Riggs suggested adding the language as finalized by Staff and the City Attorney. Council Member Marty arrived at 7:56 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Quick. To Approve Resolution 6153, A Resolution Approving a Lease Agreement to Allow TCN Chamber to Relocate its Office to the Mounds View community Center as Amended to Include Language by the City Attorney. Council Member Stigney commented that the rental fees go to the Mermaid rather than the City. He then said that when the interim agreement was discussed he was not in favor of the • community education area being part of the deal and he feels it would have been far better for the City to rent it rather than the Mermaid.
