This is a request for authorization to submit a Recreation and Public Purpose (R&PP) lease renewal for the continued use of 17.30 acres of land for use of a Municipal Government Complex (MGC) and authorize the City Manager or designee to sign the resulting documents. The MGC includes City Hall, Police, and Fire Stations. 

On November 19, 1997, the Bureau of Land Management granted the City of San Luis lease AZA-28915 for the San Luis City Park in accordance with the authority of the R&PP Act of June 14, 1926, as amended (43 U.S.C. 869, et seq.). On December 23, 2005, the city applied to change the use of the R&PP lease from recreation to public purposes. On July 26, 2006, the R&PP lease change of use and plan of development was approved and the change of use is to coincide with the original date of expiration of the lease which is November 18, 2022. 

The R&PP lease property is located in the vicinity of the northeast corner of Union Street and McCain Avenue. The city has developed said property for public purposes and is ready to submit an application to renew the said lease. 

One of the application requirements is a certified copy of a resolution authorizing the filing of the application and further authorizing the signing officer to execute the application. The approval of Resolution No. 2211 will meet this requirement.
