Mounds View City Council March 13, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 25 agreement into place and waiving the fee for April is acceptable. She clarified that the rent should be waived while the City occupies the space. Councilmember Gunn asked if it is only going to be for April or if will stretch farther. City Administrator Ulrich suggested adding a provision that the current arrangement should continue until the City is no longer occupying the building. Mayor Marty stated that giving up $3,000 per month for the interim agreement will cost the City $36,000 per year in revenue and also the church's rent is $1,500 per month. He stated Canyon Catering is basically paying $500 per month plus taxes, so they are getting a good deal in the interim. Councilmember Thomas noted that they cannot plan ahead for future events. Councilmember Flaherty noted that Mr. Dobbs clearly put in the resignation that Canyon Catering will not renew their contract under the current stipulation. He noted that the City is actually gaining $3,000 per month because otherwise Canyon Catering would have just ended their contract. He stated it is a good deal where either party can cancel the contract. He noted the City is moving forward with other plans for the facility. Mayor Marty referenced Page 7, Item 26, in regard to the intent of the parties of the agreement, and that the City is a recipient of an End Grant from the State of Minnesota to be utilized for a portion of the renovation of the facility.
