Summary

Council members agreed in a work session to draft a two‑year Little Red Wagon lease with a two‑year renewal option that would include 5% rent increases per renewal year; the item was tabled during the regular meeting for later action.

During the March 23 work session the council discussed extension options for the Little Red Wagon lease, weighing budgeting predictability against flexibility. Members considered a four‑year structure but reached consensus to move forward with a two‑year lease at the current rate and include a two‑year renewal option that would apply a 5% rent increase for each renewal year. Staff will revise the lease document to reflect those terms.

Council also discussed operational issues for the community center tied to tenant access: the council declined to issue dedicated access fobs to avoid uncontrolled use and instead will continue the existing checkout process; an online scheduling system for facility reservations is scheduled to launch with the city's website at the end of the month. Although the work session reached consensus on lease terms, the council tabled agenda item 6A (Approve Little Red Wagon Lease Agreement) at the start of the regular meeting; formal approval was deferred.

The minutes do not identify the Little Red Wagon's owner by name in the regular meeting section; the work session notes a planned revision to the lease document and expect staff to return the updated agreement for formal consideration.
