RESOLUTION 1425 ACKNOWLEDGING AND APPROVING SUBLEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR THE LEASING OF LEGISLATIVE OFFICE SPACE Agency/Council Member Rindone stated the City was responsible for custodial services and routine maintenance. He questioned why custodial services had been included. Jim Thomson, Deputy City Manager, responded that the general terms of the contract were similar to those in the State leases. That had been negotiated by the prior Finance Director prior to his involvement and, therefore, he could not respond. Staff could return with further information if Council wanted to continue the item. Agency/Council Member Rindone stated he would not oppose the item, but requested that when the leases were brought back to Council for consideration that the City's/Agency's costs be covered. Mr. Thomson stated the leases with the State expired at the end of November of 1994. The State had a standard lease which required lessors to provide the custodial services. Agency/Council Member Moore questioned when the City/Agency started collecting rent from the 1st District Supervisor. Mr. Thomson responded that it would be the first time. There were two different leases with the County: 1) a 50 year lease with 38 years remaining; and 2) a lease that came about after the fire in the former health building.

The Agency is requested to authorize the Executive Director to hold the required public hearing and prepare a lease with the Urban Corps for the purpose of operating an oil recycling education program. Staff recommends that the Agency accept the report. (Community Development) Member Nader stated it was the property that was originally being looked at by the Kidz Biz program and that they had shifted their intorest to a parcel that was formally occupied by Shakey's Pizza. He questioned where that process currently stood. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, responded that the terms of the lease had been accept~l by South Bay Comra~nity Services about two weeks ago. South Bay Community Services wanted the lease negotiated and hoped to have activity for Halloween. The terms were acceptable to the owner and applicant. Member Nader questioned if staff anticipated that the Shakey's Pizza site lease for South Bay Community Services completed prior to the public hearing. Mr. Salomone responded that was staff's expectations. * * * Agency/Council Member Fox left the dias at 6:59 p.m. * * * Member Horton questioned when South Bay Chevrolet would move into their new facility on Otay Valley Road. Mr. Salomone responded that they were planning to move the vehicles on 10/14/94 and would have a grand opening within a week or so of that date. Member Horton questioned if the Otay Valley Road construction work was completed. Minutes October 4, 1994 Page 3 Mr. Salemone responded that the Director had a report on the construction. Member Herton questioned if there were any other problems. Mr. Salemone responded that there were a couple of loose ends regarding landscaping for South Bay Chevrolet. Fuller Ford had a Design Review meeting that went very well. He did not see any obstacles that would interfere with the grand opening. Member Rindone questioned how much square footage the lease would comprise of the total building. David Meacham, Conservation Coordinator, responded that the lease was for all of the building that faced Broadway, but would not use the adjoining or separate service space. It was approximately one acre of the five acres. Member Rindone stated he could support the interim use because if there was any reasonable offer for purchase the lease would not conflict in any way. MSC (Rindone/Moore) to accept the report and staff recommendation. Approved 4-0-1 with Fox absent. Member Herton questioned how much the Agency would be receiving. Mr. Meacham responded that there was approximately $6,000 in the grant set aside for overhead costs and that money would be paid to the Agency for rent. The only other purpose anticipated for those funds would be paying other City departments for plans or permits associated with utilizing the facility. It was possible, if the grant was completed, and there were other line items that had not been totally used up in the budget, staff could request a transfer of those funds and, therefore, pay closer to the market value of the property.
