15.7 If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of rent (minimum rent,
percentage rent or additional rent), Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or
description in such proceedings. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant's
right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay rent and
other amounts hereunder are independent covenants and Tenant shall have no right to hold back
offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or any other reason whatsoever.

request and notice to Landlord, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to obtain from any such
mortgagee a written agreement that the rights of Tenant shall remain in full force and effect
during the term of this Lease so long as Tenant shall continue to recognize and perform all of the

SUBJECT LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FWIS, LTD. D/B/A FORT WORTH TOWN CENTER FOR
OFFICE SPACE FOR THE PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with FWIS, Ltd. d/b/a Fort Worth Town
Center (FWIS) for office space at 4200 South Freeway for the Parks and Community Services
Department; and
2. Authorize the term of the lease agreement to begin January 1, 2003, and expire December 31,
2008.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed agreement would provide for the leasing of the current 16,448 square feet of office space
at Fort Worth Town Center for a period of five (5) years for a lease rate of $12.00 per square foot per
year, or a total lease rate of $197,376 annually. In addition, FWIS has agreed to provide renovations to
the entryways, new carpeting, painting of the office space, security lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation,
and air-conditioning), and other improvements, as negotiated.
The actual cost of the proposed lease for the remainder of FY2002-2003 is $32,073.60, more than was
anticipated for lease expenditures this fiscal year. This is a full-service lease that includes electrical,
janitorial service, HVAC, water, general maintenance, and pre-approved for City network installation
and adjustments.
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) entered into an agreement for this office
space location on October 20, 1992 (M&C C-13601). This agreement was renewed on December 9,
1997, for an additional five (5) years (M&C C-16483). The current lease agreement for the office space

DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with revisions to the terms and square
footage calculations with FWIS, Ltd., d/b/a Fort Worth Town Center for office space at Fort Worth
Town Center, 4200 South Freeway for the Parks and Community Services Department; and
2. Authorized the term of the lease agreement to begin January 1, 2003, and expire December 31,
2008.
DISCUSSION:
On December 17, 2002, the City Council approved M&C L-13477 authorizing the City Manager to
execute a lease agreement for office space at Fort Worth Town Center for the Parks and Community
Services Department at a rate of$12.00 per square foot based on 16,448 square feet of leasable space
for the period beginning January 1, 2003, and expiring December 31, 2008.
In negotiating the lease as approved by the City Council on December 17, 2002, the Fort Worth Town
Center management approached the City indicating that common practice in the development of an
office lease should include a rental cost for common space usage. The proposed revision to the terms
of the agreement would provide for the leasing of the current 16,448 square feet of office space, as well
as a percentage of the common area (hallways, entry, restrooms, and lobby) based on rentable space
at Fort Worth Town Center, for a total leased space of 19,548 square feet for a period of five (5) years.
The City Council approved the lease rate of$12.00 per square foot, per year. The full lease cost to the
City is phased in over a 3-year period: $217,320 in Year 1, $225,948 in Year 2, and $234,576 annually
thereafter in Years 3-5. In addition, FWIS, Ltd. has agreed to provide needed renovations to the
entryways, improve the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) and provide new
carpeting to the common areas.
This is a full service lease that includes electrical, janitorial service, HVAC, water, general maintenance
and pre-approval for City network installation and adjustments. The previous lease agreement for the
office space for the Parks and Community Services Department expired on December 31, 2002.
Staff believes that the terms of the lease are fair and equitable and recommends approval of the
revision to the terms.
