Analysis
Traffic Engineering Division & Community Reinvestment have evaluated the

property and determined the value of the lease to be $12,000.00 annually, and

has been coordinated with the Public Services Department so as not to interfere

with their operation.The initial term of the lease will be $12,000.00 annually

for a term of five (5) years and the option to extend the term of this

Agreement for three (3) additional consecutive five (5) year periods.
Financial Considerations
The City will receive $12,000.00 per year for the first five year term with a

15% increase for any additional five year terms which might be approved by

Council. Hence, the rent income for the second term will be $13,800.00, the

third term $15,870.00 and the forth term $18,250.50 per year.
