Stiff Professional Building at 20 East Olive. MEETING DATE: August 23, 2010 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a 1-year lease with MSU-Extended University for the lease of office and training classroom space in the basement of the Alfred M. Stiff Professional Building at 20 East Olive. BACKGROUND: The City of Bozeman has leased space in the Alfred M. Stiff Professional Building since the city purchased and remodeled the property after the sale of the old Carnegie Library. MSU College of Great Falls, now MSU-Extended University has leased classroom and office space in the basement of the building since August 2000. In exchange for the lease of the classroom and office space the University holds two spaces open for City of Bozeman employees for any non-credit class, with a class fee less than $150.00. Enrollment in the classes is coordinated with the Personnel Department. The last time the lease came due I checked with Personnel to see if enough employees were taking classes that it seemed like we were getting a fair value towards the lease. It was affirmed that there was good attendance. The University is charged a pro-rated share of the custodial costs associated with the Professional Building. The University is charged for the space they have in the building based on the price per square foot cost for cleaning. The lease agreement is for one year but there is a provision in the lease that allows for two, one year extensions for a total of up to three years overall. The extensions are also in one year increments and must be upon mutual agreement of both parties. 101 2 Section 2.11 of the Bozeman City Charter requires the Commission to adopt an ordinance any time the Commission "convey(s), lease(es)or authorize(s) the conveyance or lease of any lands of the city." Section 7-8-4201, Montana Codes Annotated (MCA) authorizes the City to lease property upon a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Commission which requires an affirmative vote of four members of the five member Bozeman City Commission. This Ordinance will not be codified but will be kept by the City Clerk and entered into a disposition list in numerical order with all other ordinances of the City and shall be organized in a category entitled “Conveyances and Leases of City Land.” FISCAL EFFECTS: In exchange for the use of the space in the building, the terms of the lease require 2 spaces to be made available in each class taught by the University. In addition to this benefit the University pays $1,622.13 per year toward the custodial cleaning expenses for the building. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
