AGENDA TITLE: Eliminate Rent Payments for Big Valley Model Railroaders
MEETING DATE: May 19, 1993
PREPARED BY. Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council rescind rental payments for Big
Valley Model Railroaders from May 1, 1993 to July 31,
1993, a period of 3 months.
BACKGROUND: The City of Lodi has a contract. with Big Valley Model
Railroaders for their lease of the basement of the
Carnegie Forum.
The present terms of this lease are rental payments of $100 per month, and a
stipulation that either party may terminate the lease with a 30 -day notice.
On March 31, 1993, the Big Valley Model Railroaders were sent a letter by the
City notifying them that the City was exercising its option to terminate the
agreement effective August 1, 1993 because of the City's need for the space
they are occupying.
The Model Railroaders have indicated they will turn the facility over to the
City by August 1, 1993, however, in that they are now in the process of
dismantling their model railroad and trains, they have asked to be excused from
the rental fee of $100 per month for the months of May, June and July.
It is recommended that the City forgive the $100 monthly rent payments due from
May 1, 1993 though July 31, 1993 since the group can no longer use the
facility for the purpose of operating model railroads.
FUNDING: None required.
