From time to time, the City is asked to lease isolated City-owned properties in various locations that are two acres or Iess.A A City staff is recommending that gas leases for these properties be administratively approved for natural gas drilling leases after evaluation of the gas company's drilling plan, reputation, financial status, project team, and compliance history by engineering staff and the City's mineral asset management consultant, JPMorgan Chase.A A Staff will report the negotiated lease bonuses and royalty to the City Council through the regular monthly gas lease report.A A The leases would be executed through an internal administrative process involving the Engineering Department, the City Attorney's Office and the City Manager's Office. Requirements and guidelines to be followed in determining eligibility for inclusion in the Adminstrative Gas Lease Process are as follows: A A A A*A A A A City-owned property two acres or less that is not a City park A A A A*A A A A No surface use of any kind A A A A*A A A A No identified adverse impact to the surrounding neighborhood A A A A*A A A A Compliance with the City's gas drilling ordinance A A A A*A A A A Minimum bonus to be determined by current market rate A A A A*A A A A Minimum royalty of 25 percent A A A A*A A A A The distrubution of lease bonus and royalties will be in accordance with the revenue A A A A A A A A A A distribution policy approved by the City Council A A A A*A A A A No MWBE goal will be required due to the size of the parcels In accordance with the Alternative Assets Agency Account Agreement between JPMorgan Chase and the City (City Secretary Contract 29698), JPMorgan Chase will serve as the depository of the lease bonus and royalty revenue until the City requests wire transfer of the funds.
