Council postpones vote on Community Action lease for San Marcos Senior Citizen Center pending inspection and signature
Summary
The council pulled a facility lease with Community Action, Inc. of Central Texas from the consent agenda and voted to postpone final approval until the lessee completes a walk-through inspection and signs the document; staff said the city has performed significant recent repairs and will coordinate a final inspection with the nonprofit.
Council returned to a pulled consent item (Item 12) on Jan. 20 concerning a 10-year facility lease with Community Action, Inc. for the San Marcos Senior Citizen Center at 810 Arizona Street. The nonprofit'9s executive director, Doug Mud, had earlier told council the agency's board approved the lease with one condition: a final walk-through inspection.
City staff explained the city has standardized recent facility leases on a 10-year term and reviewed previous repairs it has performed on the building, including an entryway overhaul (about $24,000) to meet accessibility and fire-safety needs and an HVAC replacement (roughly $7,000 plus labor). Staff and the Community Action board agreed to perform an updated inspection; the lease will be signed only after any identified health-and-safety deficiencies are resolved to the nonprofit'9s satisfaction.
Council approved a motion to postpone formal approval; the trigger for returning the lease to the council agenda will be the lessee'9s signature confirming board approval following the inspection. Staff said if the nonprofit requests changes after seeing the inspection report, the city can either amend the lease or return to council with a revised agreement.
What happens next: staff will schedule the walk-through inspection, work with Community Action to address any safety or accessibility deficiencies, and return a signed lease to council for final approval when both parties are ready.
