Council reviews six-month lease extension for Police Operations Building at Hoover Commons
Summary
Council discussed a proposed third amendment to the lease with RMC Investments that would extend the Police Operations Building lease by six months at the current annual rate while staff negotiates a longer-term agreement and possible security improvements.
City staff briefed the council on a proposed third amendment to the lease with RMC Investments for the Police Operations Building at Hoover Commons, recommending a six-month extension at the current rate while longer-term terms are negotiated.
Mr. Munger told the work session the owner "agreed to a 6 month extension at the same rate as what we're paying now, which is $45,852 annually," and said the extension would allow the city time to complete negotiations on a longer-term lease and to consider security enhancements for the department's parking area. He said the owner "very much wants to retain the police department specifically as a tenant" and indicated owners are receptive to allowing the department to close certain parking areas that were previously denied.
Council members asked whether the same owner holds the courthouse property and Hoover Commons. Mr. Munger said the principal appears to own both properties and that they may be held in separate LLCs; he offered to research title further and return an update before the Monday meeting. Council also asked whether the owners had discussed selling the property to the city; Mr. Munger said the owners "would entertain" that possibility but noted the current proposal under discussion is a lease extension.
No formal action was recorded in the work session; staff presented the resolution for council consideration on the upcoming meeting agenda and will return with further details and any title research requested by council.
