share of all expenses, charges, and fees incurred by Lessor in connection with: (i)
real estate taxes and all other taxes, levies, charges, and assessments of every kind
and nature (including, without limitation, assessments of public improvements or
benefits) related to the Leased Premises that become due and payable during the
term of the Lease, by Lessor, and (ii) any fire, casualty, or liability insurance
maintained by Lessor in connection with the Leased Premises (including, without
limitation, any improvement thereon) (all of the foregoing are referred to as
"Additional Rent Expenses"). In addition, Lessee shall pay promptly, when due
and payable during the terms of the Lease, all charges for gas, water, sewer, steam,

Premises, and Lessor shall have no responsibility to furnish (or pay for) any of the
foregoing utility services to Lessee or the Leased Premises. Lessor shall notify
Lessee before the lease commencement date and before the beginning of each
calendar year thereafter of Lessor's estimate of the Additional Rent Expenses that
Lessor will likely incur during that year and Lessee's estimate monthly payment for
Additional Rent Expenses. For each month during the Lease term, Lessee shall pay
Lessor, as additional rent, one twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Additional Rent
Expenses for the calendar year beginning on the Lease commencement date (and
the first day of each calendar year thereafter). If Lessor determines during any
particular calendar year that the monthly estimated Additional Rent Expenses are
greater than projected, Lessor may adjust the monthly estimated payments of
Additional Rent Expenses for the remainder of the calendar year.
(B) Within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each calendar year during the Lease
term, or as soon as reasonably practical thereafter, Lessor shall determine the actual
Additional Rent Expense that it incurred during the preceding calendar year and
submit to Lessee a statement setting forth such determination. Within thirty (30)
days after the delivery of such statement, (i) Lessee shall pay Lessor any deficiency
between the estimate Additional Rent Expenses paid to Lessor during the previous
calendar year and the actual Additional Rent Expense incurred by Lessor, or (ii)
Lessor shall, at Lessor's election, refund to Lessee any overpayment of Additional
Rent Expense for the previous calendar year or credit the next installment (or
installments as necessary) of estimate Additional Rent Expenses for the then current
calendar year by the amount of any overpayment by Lessee.
(C) Lessee may at Lessee's sole cost and expense, at reasonable times during Lessor's
normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, audit Lessor's books and records
regarding the Additional Rent Expense for any particular calendar year. Lessee must

year.

(D) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against or levied upon its
occupancy of the Leased Premises, or upon the fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and
all other personal property of Lessee located in the Leased Premises. When possible
Lessee shall cause its fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property to
be assessed and billed separately from the property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's
fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property in the Leased Premises
are assessed and taxed with the property of Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor its
share of such taxes within ten (10) days after Lessor's delivery to Lessee of a written
statement of the taxes applicable to Lessee's fixtures, furnishings, equipment or
personal property.
Lessor agrees to pay all real property taxes assessed against the Property and
applicable insurance premiums as they come due.
All installments of rent that are past due for more than 7 days shall bear interest at
the highest non-usurious rate chargeable by Lessor to Lessee from the date due until paid.
The parties acknowledge that the late charge is for the purpose of defraying Lessor's
administrative and other expenses incident to handling delinquent amounts and that the
late charge will fairly compensate Lessor for those administrative and other expenses
which cannot be determined precisely. Unless changes in accordance with Texas law, the
applicable method of calculating the usury rate ceiling under Texas law is the indicated
(weekly) rate ceiling, from time to time in effect, as provided in Tex. Fin. Code Ann. §
303.301-.308, as amended.
SECTION 5. Improvements, Repairs, Replacements, Additions and Removals.
Lessor at his own expense shall construct the Leased Premises as described in attached
Exhibit "B" and made a part hereof("Tenant Improvements"). Lessee will designate a
contact person to review and inspect the work completed by Lessor and to assist Lessor.
Lessor shall maintain in good repair the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the
Leased Premises upon written notification of any necessary repairs from Lessee. Lessee
agrees to give Lessor written notice of defects or need for repairs in the roof, foundation,
and exterior walls of the Leased Premises. Lessee will provide such written notification
as soon as it discovers repairs are necessary and Lessor shall complete or have completed
the repairs or maintenance within 10 days of receiving such notification (or if repair is
not capable of being completed within 10 days, within a reasonable time thereafter, so
long as Lessor is diligently pursuing such repair). Failure of the Lessor to complete such
repairs or maintenance shall be considered a default under the Lease.
Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, keep the Leased Premises, including all
improvements, additions, and fixtures installed by Lessee, in good and tenantable
condition and shall promptly make all necessary repairs and replacements to the Leased
Premises except those repairs that are the responsibility of Lessor as set forth herein.
However, for any necessary repairs and/or replacements required to be made by Lessee,
Lessee shall be responsible for the first $500.00 per occurrence of cost to cure defect and,
City of Fort Worth Lease Page 4
provided defect is not due to Lessee's sole negligence, Lessor shall be responsible for the
remainder of the cost. Lessor shall reimburse Lessee any eligible portion of Lessee's cost
to cure defect that exceeds $500.00 within 30 days of receipt of statement.
Lessee will not permit to remain, and will at its cost and expense promptly
discharge, all liens, encumbrances, and charges upon the Leased Premises or a part
thereof, arising out of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by Lessee, or by
reason of any labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished, by, through,
or under Lessee, by reason of any construction, alteration, addition, repair, or demolition
of any part of the Leased Premises by Lessee.
SECTION 6. Insurance. Lessor agrees to insure the structure and premises of 2222
Wenneca Avenue, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. Such insurance shall provide
protection for liability, fire and casualty, and property damage for the property owned by
the Lessor, situated at, and including, the Leased Premises. Prior to Lessee moving into
the Leased Premises, Lessor must provide Lessee with evidence of these coverage's
represented by Certificates of Insurance issued by the insurance carrier.
The City of Fort Worth is basically a self-funded entity and as such, generally, it does not
maintain a commercial liability insurance policy to cover premises liability. Damages for
which the City of Fort Worth would ultimately be found liable would be paid directly and
primarily by the City of Fort Worth and not by a commercial insurance company.
SECTION 7. INDEMNITY. LESSEE SHALL BE IN EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF THE
LEASED PREMISES, AND LESSOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO
LESSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE LEASED PREMISES

FEES, AND COSTS OF INVESTIGATION) OR ANY KIND FOR BODILY OR
PERSONAL INJURY (INDCLUDING DEATH) OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
OCCURRING ON, IN OR ABOUT THE LEASED PREMISE (COLLECTIVELY,

LESSEE'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE LEASED PREMISES, EVEN IF SUCH
LIABILITIES ARISE FROM OR ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONCURRENT

MISCONDUCT OF AN INDEMNITEE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL
LESSOR EVER BE LIABLE UNDER THIS LEASE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR
SPECIAL DAMAGES. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL EVER BE

then may be provided or permitted by the laws of the State of Texas), Lessor shall have
the following remedies:
(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee by giving written notice

recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent and any
other indebtedness (ii) the amount of the amortized tenant improvement work
which has not been paid.

(b) In addition to the rights set forth above, Lessor may also alter locks and/or
security devices at the Leased Premises following notice of termination of the

diligence) in which to cure any such default. If Lessor fails to so cure any default after
this notice, Lessee may terminate this Lease upon written notice to Lessor, such

However, if Lessee terminates this Lease because of Lessor's default and failure to cure,
Lessee shall not be required to pay the Cancellation Penalty as shown on Exhibit "C".
All obligations of Lessor under this Lease are covenants, not conditions, and all
obligations of Lessor are binding upon Lessor only during the period of its ownership of
the Leased Premises and not thereafter. Lessor's liability for the performance of any
Lessor obligations under this Lease is limited to Lessor's interest in the Leased Premises.

termination by either party; provided that Lessee shall repair all damage to the Leased
Premises caused by the placement or removal of such personal property or equipment

except if terminated as provided in Section 9.3, Lessee shall pay a cancellation
penalty as set forth in Exhibit"C" attached hereto. There shall be no cancellation
penalty if Lessee terminates the Lease anytime after completing the first five-year
term.
11.02 Lessor reserves the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the
purpose of inspecting the Leased Premises, provided that such entry does not
adversely conflict with Lessee's rights hereunder.

in connection with use of the Leased Premises. Provided, however, Lessor shall make
all improvements necessary to make the Leased Premises comply with the Americans
With Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et sea., and shall fully
indemnify and hold harmless Lessee from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages, suits, and liability of every kind, including all expenses of litigation,
arising out of or in connection with the Leased Premises' compliance, or lack of
compliance, with ADA.
Lessee shall not introduce nor allow to be introduced any hazardous waste or materials
within the Leased Premises, except as provided in Section2. Lessor represents and
warrants that to the best of its knowledge it has not introduced any hazardous wastes or
materials within the Leased Premises and that all hazardous wastes or materials have
been abated; that if any hazardous wastes or materials are found on the Leased Premises
that were introduced prior to the occupancy by Lessee, Lessor will indemnify Lessee
against all costs associated with the removal of the materials.
SECTION 14. Acceptance of Leased Premises . Lessee represents that, upon
occupancy of the Leased Premises, it accepts the Tenant Improvements, takes the Leased
Premises AS-IS, WHERE-IS, in good condition and that the Leased Premises are suitable
for the purposes for which they are being leased. Lessor has made no representations or
warranties, express, implied or arising by operation of law regarding the condition of the
Leased Premises or its fitness for a particular purpose.
SECTION 15. Assignment. Lessee shall not assign or sublet this Lease without the
prior written approval of Lessor. Upon issuance of such approval, this Lease shall be
binding on the successors, and lawful assignees of Lessor and the successors of Lessee,
as permitted by the terms of this agreement and by the laws assignment or sublease shall
be subject to all the responsibilities and liabilities of Lessee and shall be subject to all
provisions regarding termination and eviction.
SECTION 16. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate. Tenant accepts
this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or
other lien(s) now or hereafter affecting the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to
renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof and if, but only if, each
holder of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or other lien subsequently affecting
the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property has executed and delivered to Tenant a
City of Fort Worth Lease Page 9
SNDA (hereinafter defined), then to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s)
and other lien(s) subsequently affecting the Premise, the Building or the Property, and to
renewals, modifications, refinancings and extension thereof(collectively, a "Mortgage").
The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a "Mortgagee." This
clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a
commercially reasonable SNDA in favor of the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the
Mortgagee be superior to the Lease, a Mortgagee shall have the 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 such successor in interest has agreed not to disturb or interfere
with Tenant's possession of the Premises (subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease) for so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable
notice and cure period. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of
this Lease there is no Mortgage filed against the Property. Prior to permitting a
Mortgagee to obtain a Mortgage on the Property, Landlord will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgagee to execute a Subordination, Non-disturbance
and Attornment Agreement ("SNDA") in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, Tenant 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 in the Property, then such Mortgagee will not
disturb Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises for so long as Tenant is not in default
under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. From time to time at the
request of either party, each party to this Lease agrees to promptly execute, 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.
SECTION 17. Notices.
All notices to Lessor shall be sent to:

changed or modified orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
SECTION 19. Waivers . One or more waivers of any covenant, term, or condition of
the Lease by either Lessor or Lessee shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term, or condition. The consent or approval by either
Lessor or Lessee to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or approval
shall not be deemed a waiver or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act.
SECTION 20. Venue. This lease and the relationship created hereby shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Texas. Venue for any action brought to interpret or enforce
the terms of the Lease or for any breach shall be in Tarrant County, Texas.
SECTION 21. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. (A) If all or any portion of the
Leased Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault or
negligence of Lessee or any of Lessee's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or
invitees, and Lessor and Lessee agree that the Leased Premises can be repaired, rent shall
not abate during the repair of such damage, and Lessee shall repair and restore such
damage to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction. If the Leased Premises are damaged by fire
or other casualty not caused by negligence or fault of Lessee, its agents, employees or
invitees, the following shall result: (i) should the Leased Premises be rendered wholly
unfit for occupancy and not be susceptible of repair within a reasonable time after such
damage, Lessor and Lessee shall each have the option to terminate this Lease as of the
City of Fort Worth Lease Page 11
date of such damage, and Lessee shall pay rent apportioned to the time of such damage
and immediately surrender the Leased Premises to the Lessor; and Lessee shall not be
required to pay a Cancellation Penalty or(ii) should such damage be susceptible of repair
within a reasonable time after occurrence, Lessee shall promptly cause such repairs to be
made (using for such purpose available insurance proceeds) without affecting this Lease,
but the rent shall be equitably reduced or abated while such repairs are being made. In all
cases, due allowance shall be made for reasonable delay effecting repairs where caused
by delay in adjustment of insurance loss, strikes, labor difficulties, or any cause beyond
Lessee's control.
(B) If all or substantially all of the Leased Premises is taken by condemnation
proceedings or right of eminent domain, this Lease will terminate on the date of such
taking. All sums awarded or agreed upon between Lessor and the condemning authority
for the taking of the interest of Lessor or Lessee, whether as damages or as compensation,
will be the property of Lessor without prejudice, except for claims of Lessee against the
condemning authority for moving costs and the unamortized cost of leasehold
improvements paid for by Lessee taken by the condemning authority. If this Lease is
terminated under this paragraph, rent will be payable up to the date that possession is
taken by the condemning authority, and Lessor shall refund to Lessee any prepaid
unaccrued rent less any sum then owing by Lessor to Lessee.
SECTION 22. Holdover. Any possession of the Leased Premises by Lessee after the
date of expiration or termination of the Lease shall be deemed to be a month-to-month
tenancy at sufferance, terminable by either party upon 30 days written notice. If Lessee
so remains in possession of the Leased Premises, Lessee shall pay rent at a rate equal to
150% of the annual rent per month for each month Lessee remains in possession.

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 2/20/2007
DATE: Tuesday, February 20, 2007
LOG NAME: 362222WENNECA REFERENCE NO.: C-21983
SUBJECT:
Authorize a Lease Agreement with Interstate Industrial Properties, L.P., for Property Located at
2222 Wenneca Avenue for the Fire Department's Arson Division
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a new lease agreement with Interstate Industrial Properties,
L.P., for property located at 2222 Wenneca Avenue for the Fire Department's Arson Division; and
2. Authorize a five-year lease agreement, contingent upon funds being appropriated each of the five
years, and authorize the renewal of the lease as necessary for up to three successive twelve-month
periods.
DISCUSSION:
On December 16, 2003, (M&C L-13729) the City Council approved the lease of 4,000 square feet for the
Fire Department's Arson Division at 2222 Wenneca Avenue. The Fire Department's Arson Division needs to
expand this location and increase the term. The department was granted four additional positions during
the 2006-2007 budget and the additional space will accommodate these employees as well as additional
equipment. A new five-year triple-net lease agreement has been negotiated to accommodate this
expansion. The base rental cost for this lease is $7.65 per square foot, $46,726.00 annually, $3,893.85
monthly. Tenant improvements will be constructed by the owner. The total cost of these improvements is
$39,150.00, of which $21,080.00 will be assumed by the owner, with the remaining $18,070.00 being added
to and made a part of the base rent. The current lease will be terminated in favor of the new five-year
lease.
If the City terminates this lease prior to the end of the lease term, the City will be subject to a cancellation
penalty based upon the owner's unamortized tenant improvement expenses. Upon lease commencement,
the unamortized cost of improvements from the current lease will be added to tenant improvement costs
assumed by the owner in connection with the new lease and used to create a new basis for a cancellation
penalty amortization schedule. This amortization schedule provides for a monthly declining balance to
$0.00 over the five-year term of the lease.
The City will also be responsible for the payment of additional rent expenses such as property taxes,
insurance, utilities and maintenance under the terms of this lease. For the first year of the lease, the
estimated cost for the additional rent expenses will be $8,367.96 annually, $697.33 monthly.
The base rental for the renewal terms of the lease will be $7.75 per square foot or $3,944.75 monthly for the
first renewal, $7.85 or $3,995.65 per square foot for the second renewal, and $8.00 per square or $4,072.00
