defect in any building or improvement constructed from the plans or specifications.
§ 6.05. Ownership of Buildings, Improvements, and Fixtures. Any buildings, improvements,

action to do so, at MUSEUM's sole expense. If MUSEUM contests the lien, MUSEUM will

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/29/2007
DATE: Tuesday, May 29, 2007
LOG NAME: 25MUSEUM07 REFERENCE NO.: **C-22142
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Contract for Lease of Property with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and
History Corporation
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Contract for Lease of
Property with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History Corporation ("Corporation") for an initial term
of 35 years, with two 30 year renewals.
DISCUSSION:
On January 17, 1995, (M&C C-14641) the City Council authorized a Lease Agreement with the Fort Worth
Museum of Science and History Corporation for use of the Museum of Science and History building for a
term of five years with two automatic five-year renewal terms at no cost to the Museum to expire on
September 30, 2009. The lease provides that the Corporation is responsible for all maintenance, utilities,
and liability insurance.
On June 15, 2006, (City Secretary Contract Number 33625) the City entered into a First Amendment of the
Lease Agreement for a period of 30 days to include the Temporary Building Site under the same terms and
conditions as contained in the Lease to expire on July 14, 2006.
On July 11, 2006, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the
Lease Agreement with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History Corporation to include property
south of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame for the placement of the temporary buildings for a
period of one year. These temporary buildings were necessary for the continuity of museum operations
during the design, demolition and construction of the Museum.
The proposed Contract for Lease of Property would allow for the Museum to undertake a capital
improvement project that will involve the demolition of certain structures existing on a portion of the leased
premises and construct a new facility and related improvements on portions of the leased premise. Under
this proposal, the current agreement will be terminated and substituted with a new agreement. The contract
is for a 35 year term beginning on the effective date of the contract and shall automatically be renewed and
extended for two additional 30 year periods unless written termination is given to the City.
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and Temporary Buildings are located in COUNCIL
DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
