Guinn School from the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center to the City of Fort Worth, Terminate the Master Lease and Renew Expired Leases RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to: 1. Accept assignment of existing leases between Guinn School tenants and the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center; 2. Terminate the Master Lease between the City of Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center; and 3. Renew expired leases between tenants and the City of Fort Worth. DISCUSSION: Council approved the Master Lease between the City of Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Business Assistance Center (the BAC) on May 22, 2001. The BAC board considered the lease during its meeting on June 14, 2001, requested changes and approved the final version during its meeting on July 12, 2001. The Master Lease states that the agreement shall be for five years, beginning on May 23, 2001 and that the BAC has the option to renew the lease for two terms of five years each. The BAC and the City agree that either party may terminate the Agreement, with cause, by giving the other party 90 days written notice. The City Administer opted to Master Lease the building to the BAC because at the time, the City was negotiating with Bank One to sell the federal tax credits, which would have required that the City enter into a complicated sale of the leasehold rights to the BAC, a qualified non-profit organization. Ultimately, the U. S. Economic Development Administration refused to approve the sale, and the City retains ownership of the James E. Guinn Middle School thereby voiding the reason for the BAC to retain the Master Lease. The lease document will be prepared by the Department of Law. The Guinn School is currently 100% leased and it is not anticipated that additional tenants will be added. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City Funds.
