Commissioners clear way for Flix to lease space at Broad Street transit transfer facility
Summary
Staff told the committee that Flix would occupy the same 1,846‑sq‑ft footprint previously used by Southeastern Stages at 1546 Broad Street under a five‑year lease; the company will handle maintenance and required insurance and the lease rate discussed was $16 per sq ft. Commissioners asked questions about procurement and legal review and voted to send the matter forward.
Director Daughtry described a proposed five‑year lease with Flix (Greyhound) for use of the former Southeastern Stages space at the transit transfer facility at 1546 Broad Street. She said the company plans to use the same footprint and will be responsible for maintaining its leased area, installing cameras and carrying insurance. When asked, Daughtry said she checked comparables with the tax assessor and that the starting rate for the lease would be $16 per square foot for the 1,846 square‑foot space.
Commissioners queried who was responsible for maintenance, whether procurement and legal review had been completed, and whether the contract had been negotiated with counsel for both sides. Director Daughtry said the contract had gone through procurement and legal and that Flix's counsel had negotiated terms with the city's attorney. The committee moved and seconded the item and directed it to the full commission; there were no objections at the committee level.
Quote attribution: Director Daughtry said the company "is just gonna utilize the space that Southeastern Stages had."
