Dakota Civic Theater (DCT) has requested a change in their proposed rental agreement. DCT has been
conducting performances in the Community Center auditorium since last September. Because of
unexpected losses from two failing performances, DCT has been unable to pay the required rental fees.
After speaking with representatives from DCT, I am recommending a reduction in rental fee from $24,000
annually to $16,000. I recommend requiring DCT to pay $1,000 per month for the 1994 months of
September, October, November, and December. DCT would then be required to pay $2,000 per month
thereafter.
I am recommending this action because of the possibility of DCT leaving. DCT is providing a great
service to our community. As time passes, they will become more established and their revenues will "
increase, thus allowing a higher rental fee. It is more profitable to reduce the rental fee now with DCT,
than see them leave, be forced to fill the space and reduce our earning potential further.
The City Attorney has reviewed this rental agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the rental agreement for Dakota Civic Theater.
