RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the attached Joint Resolution of both the Southeast Overtown/Park West
(SEOPW) and Omni Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) be approved and adopted by
the Boards of Directors authorizing the Executive Director to enter into a one year renewal lease
agreement under the provision of Article XXIII of the current lease with The Citadel Arena
Corporation for CRA office space beginning September 1, 2005 through August 30, 2006 at the
stipulated rate of $13,561.67 per month/$162,740.04 per year ($16.27 per square foot which
includes electric utility and 16 dedicated and secured parking spaces).
JUSTIFICATION:
On July 15, 2003, the CRA Board of Directors authorized the execution of a lease agreement
between the CRA and the Citadel Arena Corporation for the lease of approximately 10,000 square
feet of office space for an initial term of two years at a cost of $15.80 per square foot ($158,000
per year) with options to renew for three additional 1-year periods (SEOPW Resolution No. R-03-
60 and Omni Resolution No. R-03-42). The renewal option stipulates an increase in rent of 3%;
all other provisions of the lease agreement remain in effect with no change. The renewal option
stipulates that the CRA must notify the landlord of its intent to renew within thirty (30) days before
the expiration of the initial term or subsequent renewal which would mean that we would have to
issue notification no later than July 31, 2005. The intent of bringing this before the Board at this
early date is to obtain authorization to exercise the renewal option if it is the decision of the Board
to retain the current office space located within the CRA. If it is the Board's intent not to renew,
we need to begin developing alternatives at this point.
