other lien(s) subsequently affecting the Premise., the Building or the Property, and to renewals,

right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to
all or part of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the successor-in-
interest if, but only if, such successor in interest has executed a SNDA or other agreement whereby

and the Mortgagee. The SNDA, among other things, shall provide that in the event a Mortgagee
forecloses on the Property or otherwise enforces its right to divest Landlord of its fee simple interest

so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

have acknowledged and deliver a certificate stating (a) the commencement date and the date of
expiration of the Term; (b) the rights (if any) of Tenant to extend the Term or to expand the Leased
Premises; (c) the Rent (or any components of the Rent) then currently payable hereunder; (d) whether
this Lease has been amended in any respect and, if so, submitting copies of or otherwise identifying
the amendments; (e) whether, within its knowledge, there are any existing breaches or defaults
hereunder by either party hereto, and, if so, stating the defaults with reasonable particularity; and (f)
such other information pertaining to this Lease as may be reasonably requested. A party's failure to
deliver to the other party an executed estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after the failing party
first received a written request for such certificate shall constitute a representation by the failing party
that all statements set forth in the requested estoppel certificate are true and correct.

SUBJECT AUTHORIZE A LEASE WITH MONROE STREET PROFESSIONAL BUILDING,
LIMITED FOR OFFICE SPACE LOCATED AT 900 MONROE STREET FOR THE
WATER DEPARTMENT AND THE ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize a lease with Monroe Street Professional Building, Limited for office space located at 900
Monroe Street for the Water Department and the Economic and Community Development
Department; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate leases.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Department, Real Property Services Division, was requested to assist in locating
space suitable for the purposes of housing administrative offices and activities for a division of the
Water Department and the Economic and Community Development {ECD} Department.
Two separate leases have been negotiated. All terms and conditions for both leases are identical:
ECD Lease
The ECD Department will lease 1,983 square feet on the third floor of the building. This space was
recently occupied and has been finished out, therefore immediate tenant improvements are not
necessary. However, ECD has been given the option to stay in the space or move to another
space, approximately the same size, on the same floor, when the space becomes available. If
ECD elects to stay in the original space, the owner will bear the cost of improvements that will be
made to accommodate a longer stay. If ECD elects to move to the other space, the owner will bear
the cost of the necessary improvements.
l A lease rate of $12.10 per square foot was negotiated for this space. This is a lease cost of
$23,994.30 annually, or $1,999.53 monthly, plus $76.78 per month for parking. In addition, ECD
will be responsible for its share of the operating expenses as described and limited under the terms
of the lease agreement. If the lease with Monroe Street Professional Building, Limited is negotiated
with a May 1, 2002 start date, the fiscal year cost for 2001-2002 is $9,997.66. City staff
recommends a five-year lease, contingent on annual budget approval, with two five-year options to
renew.

DEPARTMENT
Water Department Lease
The Water Department has leased space at 811 Lamar Street for the past several years to house
employees associated with various capital project programs, including the Wet Weather and other
programs. The current lease ends in September 2002, and the building is currently under a
potential change in ownership that may result in demolition. Alternative space is needed for those
employees currently at 811 Lamar Street.
The Water Department is proposing to lease 12,951 square feet of office space to include 2,683
square feet on the first floor and approximately 10,268 square feet on the second floor. Both
spaces will require finish out work. The owner will bear the cost of the necessary tenant
improvements. A lease rate of $12.10 per square foot was negotiated for this space. This is a
lease cost of $156,707.10 annually, or $13,058.93 monthly. In addition, the Water Department will
be responsible for its share of the operating expenses.
If the lease with Monroe Street Professional Building, Limited is negotiated with a September 1,
2002 start date, the fiscal year cost for 2001-2002 is $13,058.93. City staff recommends a five-year
lease, contingent on annual budget approval, with two five-year options to renew.
The Water Department is an enterprise fund, therefore, there will be no significant impact to the
General Fund. The ECD Department has secured Community Development Block Grant funding
for the remainder of this fiscal year. Beginning with the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the General Fund
will incur a facility rental expense of$23,994.30 annually for the space the ECD will occupy.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budgets, as appropriated,
of the Water and Sewer Fund and the Grants Fund.
