City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 711812006
DATE: Tuesday, July 18, 2006
LOG NAME: 17GUINNCAMPUS REFERENCE NO.: **G-15294
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Lease Office Space on'the James E. Guinn School Campus, 1150 and 1120 South
Freeway, Fort Worth, Texas, to Authorized Outside Organizations
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Economic & Community Development Department,
Economic Diversification Division to:
1. Lease available office, training and conference room space to organizations involved in small business
development;
P,"2. To offer short-term leases to companies that apply and qualify for the Tech Fort Worth business and
technology incubator program;
3. To offer no-cost leases to volunteer organizations that provide counseling or other business
development services to clients at no charge, with a requirement to report performance measures;
4. To offer one annual no-cost lease to the winner of the Mayor's 2006 Entrepreneur Expo award;
5. To offer no-cost leases to for-profit companies that provide services to the department at a cost reduced
by the value of the leased space.

The historic James E. Guinn school campus is owned by the City of Fort Worth and managed by the
Economic Diversification Division of the Economic & Community Development Department. The Fort Worth
Business Assistance Center is located in the middle school and Tech Fort Worth is located in the former
gymnasium on the campus. The elementary school will soon be renovated to provide additional training
and conference room space.
On January 24, 2006, (M&C C-21261) City Council authorized the City Manager to execute lease
agreements with Tech Fort Worth tenants. On December 7, 2004, (M&C G-14600) authorized the renewal
of leases at the Business Assistance Center in the James E. Guinn middle school. The purpose of this

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/24/2006
DATE: Tuesday, January 24, 2006
LOG NAME: 17TFWLEASEAMEND REFERENCE NO.: **C-21261
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Lease Agreements with Tech Fort Worth Tenants
RECOMMENDATION:
it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute lease agreements with Tech
Fort Worth tenants to occupy Tech Fort Worth, formerly the gymnasium at the historic James E. Guinn
School.
DISCUSSION:
On March 1, 2005, (M&C G-14692) City Council authorized the City Manager to approve lease agreements
with tenants to occupy Tech Fort Worth, formerly the gymnasium on the historic James E. Guinn School
campus. The final paragraph of the M&C quoted average monthly lease rates and acceptable short-term
monthly lease rates. The word monthly was a typographical error. The paragraph should have read as
follows:
"The average rent rate in the building is $13.25/square foot annually. A limited amount of space may be
leased for short terms for as low as $6 per square foot annually. Any company receiving this rate will be
qualified by financial statements. Such statements will be received by Tech Fort Worth staff regularly and
the lease rate will be adjusted toward market level as the company is able to support it."
Approval of this M&C amends the agreements to reflect the correct terms.
Tech Fort Worth is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT S.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that the Economic and Community Development Department will be
responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due the City under the lease agreements.
