X, Subject: PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CASA MANAMA THEATRE
Attached for City Council review is a proposed lease agreement with
Casa Manana Musicals, Inc. ( "Casa Manana" ) for use of Casa Manana
Theatre.
I . Background
On March 1, 1958, the city issued $500,, 000 in 25-year general
obligation bonds to construct Casa Manana Theatre. Retirement of
these bonds occurred in 1983, with principal and interest payments
totaling $704 ,500 over the life of the bonds.
The original lease agreement, dated June 20, 1958, called for Casa
Manana Musicals, Inc. to pay $28,180 per year for twenty-five
years. These payments would have been sufficient to cover all debt
service on the bonds. However, there were at least eight
amendments to the original agreement. These amendments altered the
annual lease payment provision and extended the term of the
agreement.
The amendment dated February 24, 1975, reestablished that "a
sufficient amount of money will be collected as rental to meet the
debt service payment requirements associated with the demised
facilities. " This amendment changed the annual lease payment to
$25,000 per year and extended the term of the agreement to December
31, 1989.
On January 27 , 1977, the City Council deferred until September
1977, the lease payment due for the year 1976. On January 3, 1978,
the City Council again amended the agreement to waive the $25,000
lease payments due for the years 1976 and 1977 . A review of
receipts from Casa Manana shows that the city has received no
payments since 1975.
Through the prior lease agreement, as amended, a total of
$372,600.77 in lease payments was credited against the debt service
on the bonds. Thus, a balance of $331, 899.23, ($704,500 -
$372,600.77 = $331,899.23) remains due to the city under the terms
of the prior lease agreement, as amended.
In March 1987, Casa Manana requested that the city council waive
the $250, 000 owed in back rentals for the period 1978-1987 . They
based this request on the grounds that although they had not made
any required lease payments, they had expended more than $280,000
in maintaining and improving the theatre during that time period.
In response, the City Attorney issued an opinion stating that the
L-ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER FORT WORTH, TEXAS
INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. :z6os
5 0 R'. To the Mayor and Members of the City Council
X Subject: PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CASA MANAMA THEATRE
city could not waive the back rentals. The City Attorney did state
that the city could extend the term of the agreement, establish a
schedule of annual payments, and allow the cost of future
improvements to be credited against the prior lease payments owed.
Since the 1987 request for waiver of prior lease payments, Casa
Manana has continued to maintain and improve the facility at no
expense to the City. On December 31, 1989, the lease agreement
expired with $331, 899.23 in prior lease payments remaining
outstanding.
II. Proposed New Lease Agreement
City staff has been negotiating with Casa Manana for several months
to prepare a new lease which recognizes the financial commitment
made by Casa Mariana while also guaranteeing that the City recovers
the prior lease payments due. The major provisions of the proposed
agreement are discussed below.
00,11
A. Term
The proposed lease agreement begins on January 1 , 1990 and extends
for twenty years with two five year renewal options exercisable
upon the mutual consent of both parties.
Casa Manana has plans for a capital funding drive to undertake a
major renovation of the theatre building. These plans have been on
hold until a lease agreement guaranteeing their long-term tenancy
of the building is approved. Should Casa Manana complete a
renovation of the theatre, the cost of which exceeds $2 .5 million,
the two renewal options become automatic, making the term thirty
years.
B. Maintenance Responsibilities
The tenant will be responsible for all maintenance costs associated
with operating and maintaining the theatre. This includes
maintenance, repair and replacement of the electrical and internal
plumbing systems, as well as the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems. The city does retain the responsibility to
maintain the grounds surrounding the theatre. The Park and
Recreation Department currently provides this service throughout
the Cultural District.

Subject: PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CASA MANANA THEATRE
In recognition of Casa Manana assuming responsibility for the cost
of all major maintenance and improvements, the agreement allows the
tenant, on an annual basis, to request a credit for such
expenditures against the prior lease payments owed. After review
of the materials submitted by Casa Manana, city staff will
determine the actual amount credited each year.
During negotiations, representatives of Casa Manana expressed their
desire to have a nominal annual rental payment to allow them to
undertake their capital funding drive. If successful, this effort
will result in a multi-million dollar renovation to the city owned
facility.
In consideration of this request, the annual rent for the term of
the agreement is $1,200. However, if by April 1, 1997, the tenant
has not accumulated credited expenses at least equal to the
$331,899.23 in prior lease payments owed, the agreement requires a
annual fee of $25,000 until the prior lease payment amount is paid
and/or credited in full. This $25,000 fee is in addition to the
annual rent.
D. Parking
The proposed lease agreement includes the parking lot directly
north of the theatre as part of the leased premises. In addition,
it grants Casa Manana access to an additional parking area defined
as the lower level of the parking garage directly south of the
theatre. When utilizing this additional parking area, the tenant
is responsible for providing security personnel.
Also, Casa Manana is allowed to charge its patrons a per vehicle
parking fee in this additional parking area. The agreement calls
for Casa Manana to collect the fee and pay to the city 75% of the
revenues after payment of the security costs . All revenue received
by the city will be dedicated to the debt service requirements on
the bonds used to finance the construction of the garage. At this
time, Casa Manana is not charging its patrons for parking in the
lower level of the adjacent parking garage.
Ill . SUMMARY
The proposed lease agreement is a compromise solution which
benefits the City by eliminating any potential expenses associated
with the maintenance and improvement of the thirty-five year old
theatre building while assuring that Casa Manana Theatre remains a
important component of the Cultural District. The lease benefits

Casa Manana Musicals, Inc. by allowing them the flexibility to
repay the prior lease payments owed through continued maintenance
and improvement to the facility, while also giving them the long
term stability necessary to plan and undertake a multi-million
dollar renovation of the city owned theatre.
Should Casa Mananals renovation plans become a reality, both
parties to this lease agreement will benefit greatly, not to
mention the community wide benefits associated with a newly
renovated Casa Manana theatre.
If the City Council has no objections to the lease agreement as
proposed, staff will prepare a M&C recommending approval of the
agreement for next week's agenda.
