Lease Agreement with the 360 Communities for use of the Family Resource Center EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Special Meeting: January 21, 2020 AGENDA ITEM: Lease Agreement with the 360 Communities for use of the Family Resource Center AGENDA SECTION: Consent PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director AGENDA NO. 6.g. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Lease Agreement APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend the City Council approve the attached lease agreement with the 360 Communities for their use of the Family Resource Center. ISSUE In 1998 and again in 2008, the City of Rosemount agreed to lease the Rosemount Family Resource Center to the 360 Communities, allowing them to locate their Rosemount office in the building. The two leases were each for a 10-year period. City staff have met with the representatives from 360 Communities regarding the lease of the Family Resource Center. 360 Communities would like to again renew the lease for a 10-year period. The City does not charge 360 Communities to use the building. BACKGROUND In the summer of 1997, the City of Rosemount received a Youth Initiative Grant from the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning in the amount of $214,900. This grant, along with other smaller grants and donations, allowed the construction of the Family Resource Center which is approximately 1,600 square feet in size. In December of 1998, 360 Communities and the City of Rosemount agreed to have 360 Communities lease the facility. 360 Communities would then provide their services and also share space and encourage other service providers to use the facility. The lease states that the facility will be used for serving children and families in the community through services such as crisis intervention, providing food, clothing, housing assistance, parenting support, academic support through mentorship, child care assistance, violence prevention outreach and recreation. The Center officially opened in February of 1999. A new 10- year lease was agreed to in November of 2008. In the fall of 2018, City staff worked with our State Senator and Representative to get funding for the expansion of the Rosemount Family Resource Center in the state bonding bill. The City was successful in getting $450,000 appropriated in the 2018 state bonding bill. The remaining $450,000 for the project is identified in the City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget for 2019. The expansion was started in 2019 and added 3,320 square feet to the facility. RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that 360 Communities has done a great job providing services and managing the center in the past. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the attached lease agreement with 360 Communities for use of the Family Resource Center. 1 ROSEMOUNT FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER LEASE AGREEMENT This Agreement, made this ____________day of ____________, 2019, by and between the City of Rosemount, MN, a Minnesota municipal corporation, (“Lessor”), and 360 Communities (“360 Communities ”), a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (“Lessee”), WITNESSETH.
