Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Lease Agreement - Columbus Sports Council
INITIATED BY: Community Reinvestment Division Manager
Recommendation: Approval is requested to authorize the City Manager to enter
into a new Lease Agreement with the Columbus Sports Council for five additional
years for use of office space at Golden Park.
Background: The Columbus Sports Council is the responsible entity for
promotion of sporting events in Columbus, Georgia. Their activities require the
need for office space to adequately carry out their responsibilities.
The current lease was approved by Council on September 28, 2010 per Resolution
#333-10. The current lease term is expired and this is a request to enter into
a new lease agreement for an additional five years. The lease agreement will
state that if the City needs possession of the building for any purpose, the
Columbus Sports Council will be required to vacate the building within 60 days.
Analysis: The Columbus Sports Council has been leasing this office space at
Golden Park since September 2010. The lease terms will remain the same, and
should the City need possession of the building for any purpose, the Columbus
Sports Council will be required to vacate the building within 60 days. The
Columbus Sports Council is responsible for the full upkeep of the interior of
the building to include payment of cable, internet, telephone and alarm system,
and the cleaning of the building for the duration of the lease.
Financial Considerations: The Columbus Sports Council will pay $1 per year for
the use of the office space for 5 years.
Legal Considerations: Any lease agreement involving the City requires Council
approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
enter into a new Lease Agreement with the Columbus Sports Council for five
additional years for use of office space at Golden Park.
