Council to consider lease of basement office at downtown post office; first‑year rent cited at $318/month
Summary
Staff recommended authorizing a three‑year lease (with two one‑year renewal options) for a basement office space in the downtown post office building; initial monthly rent including leasehold excise tax is shown as $318 and the five‑year total cited was $20,274.
City staff presented a resolution that would authorize the city manager to execute a lease for a basement office in the downtown Post Office building. Director Jesse West described the space, said the lease term is three years with two optional one‑year renewals, and noted rent includes a leasehold excise tax. The materials show first‑year total monthly rent (base rent plus leasehold tax) of $318 and a five‑year total of $20,274 if all options are exercised.
Council members asked about existing building tenants and permitted uses. The presentation noted other tenants occupy spaces in the building, including the post office; the proposed lease restricts permitted use to office activities unless the city gives prior written consent for another use.
Staff recommended the item return on the next regular meeting consent agenda for formal approval.
