SUBJECT
(CD 6) Authorize Execution of a Lease Agreement with Southwest Christian School, Inc. for the Use of Approximately Two Acres of School -Owned
Land Adjacent to Rosenthal Park for a Two -Year Period with Four Two -Year Renewal Periods with No Direct Cost to the City
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with Southwest Christian School, Inc. for the use
of approximately two -acres of school -owned land adjacent to Rosenthal Park for a two-year period with four two-year renewal periods with no
direct cost to the City.
DISCUSSION:
On November 17, 1977, the City of Fort Worth acquired approximately 1.48 acres of land located at 5100 Hastings Drive for use as a public park.
Since 1979, the City has entered into a series of agreements (City Secretary Contracts Nos. 10317, 26185, 28757, 33222, and 41249) that have
allowed for the use, development, and maintenance of abutting privately -owned property to augment the City -owned parkland, with the combined
City -owned and leased land being collectively known as Rosenthal Park.
On December 16, 2010, the City entered into a lease with Southwest Christian School, Inc. (SCS) for an initial term of two years with three, two-
year renewal options (M&C C-24574). SCS has consented to enter into a new lease that would allow the City to continue to use, develop, and
maintain approximately two acres of SCS-owned land as a part of Rosenthal Park.
Under the proposed lease, the primary term will be for a period of two years, and may be renewed for up to four additional, two-year periods under
the same terms and conditions. The City will not be required to pay SCS any rental fees for use of the property; however, the City will incur costs
associated with developing and maintaining the land as part of a City park. The land in question already includes amenities that the City has built
over the course of the past 30 years and that the City would be permitted to remove following termination or expiration of the agreement. No major
changes or renovations are currently planned for Rosenthal Park and the projected and budgeted annual maintenance cost for the leased
premises is $7,000.00 based on the Park & Recreation Departments current maintenance schedules.
Rosenthal Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
