Council advances eight-month lease amendment for campground cafe to full council
Summary
A proposed second amendment to the campground cafe lease (a stopgap extending the agreement through April) was discussed; staff presented utility cost estimates and council voted to move the item to full council on Aug. 10 for final approval.
Council considered a second amendment to the cafe/restaurant lease at the campground to extend the tenant’s occupancy through April as a stopgap while the referendum and campground options are resolved. Staff explained the amendment aligns the lease with the budget and that tenant utility use had been reviewed — staff estimated utility usage at $80–$100 per month based on square-footage allocation, while the tenant requested $500 monthly rent covering utilities.
Council members debated whether $500 was appropriate; staff said the tenant had invested more than $20,000 in improvements and that losing the tenant could leave the city without an operator. The committee voted to forward the amendment to the full council on Aug. 10, 2026 for final action.
