Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance would approve a lease agreement between the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and the Department of General Services and the Community Resource Center (“CRC”) for the use of a warehouse at 801 Anderson Lane to store donated material goods.
The Metropolitan Government and CRC previously entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) regarding ongoing available general relief operations on January 24, 2012. The MOU provides that CRC will establish methods for collection and sorting of donated material goods, establish a warehouse/donation processing center, and establish drop-off locations for donated materials goods, among other things. The amount of donated goods collected by CRC has exceeded existing warehouse capacity and a second location is necessary.
Pursuant to this agreement, CRC will lease an approximately 57,000 square feet portion of the warehouse at 801 Anderson Lane. CRC will lease the warehouse at no cost. CRC will use the warehouse only for the collection, sorting, and secure storage of donated material goods. The Department of General Services will pay all utility charges at the warehouse. There will be no utility cost to CRC.
CRC will be responsible for the routine maintenance of any improvements to the inside of the warehouse and janitorial services inside the warehouse. CRC has no obligation to improve or repair the warehouse to a condition better than the condition at the time when this agreement begins.
The Department of General Services will be responsible for the maintenance of existing electrical and HVAC systems, gas, sewer, sanitation, and other power or utility facilities, the exterior of the warehouse including the walls, roof, foundation, parking lot, and other items structural in nature or deemed capital improvements.
The term of this agreement begins upon execution and filing of the agreement with the Metropolitan Clerk and extends for 12 months. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon 90 days’ written notice.
The lease agreement can be amended by resolution of the Metropolitan Council receiving 21 affirmative votes.
Fiscal Note: Community Resource Center (“CRC”) will lease approximately 57,000 square foot warehouse space on 801 Anderson Lane, Madison, TN 37115 at no cost to provide storage space for the donated material goods. CRC will be responsible for maintenance of any improvements, janitorial services, personal property taxes and other local, state and federal taxes which may be assessed by virtue of its activities on the leases space.
