Title

Approve Five Year Lease Agreement Extension to PACT Charter School for use of 6701 Hwy 10 Cold Storage Area.

Purpose/Background:

Purpose of Case:
Approve Five Year Lease Agreement extension.

Background:
Premier Commercial Properties, the City's contracted property management company, recently approached Staff regarding a request from PACT Charter School to renew their existing Lease Agreement with the City of Ramsey by five years.  PACT Charter's existing Lease Agreement is set to expire on July 31, 2015.

Currently, PACT Charter utilizes approximately 5,400 square feet of space at 6701 U.S. Highway 10 for the storage of ten school buses. PACT Charter made a couple improvements to the City's property that will remain when the tenant no longer occupies this space (i.e. power garage door openers and electrical outlets for engine block heaters). 
 
NOTE: when this agreement is executed staff will evaluate a potential expansion of pavement to the east side of 6701.  The purpose of this potential pavement expansion would be to provide a "turn-around area" for the PACT Charter buses.  Currently,the buses are utilizing an unpaved portion of property--and it is creating an unfavorable view shed from U.S. Highway 10.
