Recommendation
Motion to Approve the lease agreement between the City of Delray Beach (“City”) and Christians Reaching Out to Society Inc. for the property located at 196 NW 8th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida and to authorize the Mayor and City Attorney to execute the agreement.
Body
Background:
The City owns property located at 196 NW 8th Avenue (“Property”). In 1982, the City entered into a lease agreement with the American Legion Post for one dollar for the American Legion Post to use the Property for a meeting hall. During the term of the American Legion Post lease agreement, the American Legion Post subleased the Property to Christians Reaching Out to Society Inc. (“CROS”) for use as a hot meal program. The lease agreement with the American Legion is no longer effective for the CROS operations to continue, so a lease agreement directly with the City is required.
Attached is a copy of the proposed lease agreement which has already been executed by CROS. The lease agreement is a month to month lease since the parties are looking to relocate the current Property operations to another location. It requires CROS to maintain insurance, pay for utilities and maintenance of the facility. It also outlines the activities that are permitted including the Caring Kitchen program, providing mail address, bus passes, limited office services and clothing. The City Attorney has drafted the lease agreement and has no objections. Staff is recommending approval of the lease agreement.
City Attorney Review:
