Lease Agreement Between City of La Porte and La Porte-Bay Area Heritage Society <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />At the August 9, 1999, City Council meeting, staff reported that the La Porte-Bay Area Heritage Society <br />approached the City requesting permission to relocate the original library building to the existing depot park site <br />near Sylvan Beach. The concept of this project would be similar to previous relocation efforts for the train and <br />depot in the early 1980s. <br /> <br />According to Mr. Bob McLaughlin of the Heritage Society, this proposal is delayed indefinitely. Therefore, the <br />proposed renewal lease agreement excludes reference to this item. <br /> <br />The current agreement between the City of La Porte and the Heritage Society for lease of property for the depot <br />museum expires on April 30, 2000. The Heritage Society has requested a renewal of the lease agreement for <br />another 20-year term to begin on May 1, 2000, and expire on April 30, 2020. This agreement retains the same <br />terms for lease payment and insurance requirements. The Heritage Society will remit to the City $20.00 to <br />account for the $1.00 per year lease amount and will provide certificates of insurance. This revenue will be <br />deposited into the General Fund's Miscellaneous Revenue Account #001-0000-410-0100. <br /> <br />Phrasing has been added to Section III to clarify responsibility, by the City as Lessor, for payment of water, <br />sewer, and garbage collection and maintenance of property outside the fence boundary. <br /> <br />A clause has been added to Section V stating that the Heritage Society will operate any future acquired <br />buildings as museums. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br /> <br />Approve Ordinance No. 2000- to renew a 20-year lease agreement between the City of La Porte <br />and the La Porte Bay Area Heritage Society. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Ae:enda <br /> <br />~\.~ <br /> <br />Robert T.
