ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission approve
a one (1) year extension of the Lease Agreement between the City

since such an extension allows the Building Department and the Code

This maximizes the effectiveness and efficiency of the department
and provides better service to the public .
BACKGROUND:
Before the Lease Agreement between the City and R.H. Holding Ltd.
was executed in August 1994 , the Building Division was located at
555 - 17th Street, and the Code Compliance Division was located on
the third floor of City Hall . Resolution No. 94-21239 approved the
Lease Agreement, which allowed the Building Division and the Code
Compliance Division to consolidate and work at a single site (1680
Michigan Avenue (7th floor) . This provides the public with a more
responsive and efficient operation.
This location offers approximately 8, 900 square feet and meets the
standards outlined under the Federal American with Disability Act
guidelines of full accessibility to persons who are physically
impaired.

Hundred Eighty Six Dollars and 66/100 ($11 , 986 . 66) monthly for use
of the above-referenced premises .

charges to be assessed by R.H. Holding Ltd. to the City, such as
taxes, insurance and operating expenses, are included in this

would increase to Twelve Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Five
Dollars and 83/100 ($12, 735 . 83) , as provided for in the Lease
Agreement (Paragraph 21) . This represents an increase of 6 .25
percent .

The one (1) year extension of this lease ensures that both
divisions remain at their present location, which provides better
service to the general public and improves coordination of services
by department supervisors.
