Approval
Approved
Background
There is historical precedent of rent being waived in lieu of relocation that

was processed as an administrative action. This action will allow three

businesses and a church to search for a new location, utilize the waived rent

to pay security deposits and first and last months rent, etc. It is

anticipated this action will assist these small businesses to remain in

business.
Analysis
The terms of the agreement is that the tenants will pay all maintenance

required on the existing building, they will keep the grounds clean, they will

provide an insurance policy covering liability, and they will vacate the

building for the lease period. This action is in the best interest of the

City.
Financial Considerations
The total rent that will be waived is $1,550.00 per month.
