Background
:
The City owns the properties located at 919 Lawyers Lane and 2401 Buena Vista Road.

If the City does not renew the lease with New Horizons, the organization will no longer have an affordable place to provide services to those suffering from addiction and mental illness. The lease amount includes maintenance and property insurance. The tenant is responsible for utilities and liability insurance.
Financial Considerations:
There will be no cost burden to the City. The tenant pays the City $55.87 per month for maintenance and property insurance. The tenant will be responsible for phone, utilities, liability insurance, etc.
Legal Considerations:
Any lease agreement involving the City requires Council approval.
