ATTACHMENT C <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 4846 <br /> <br /> A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF LEASE <br /> OF KAUFMAN CENTER TO EMERALD EMPIRE COUNCIL <br /> ON AGING. <br /> <br /> The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br /> <br /> A. Emerald Empire Council on Aging is a nonprofit entity formed in 2003 for the purpose <br />of continuing and expanding service programs for seniors that were formerly sponsored by Lane <br />Community College at the City-owned building known as the Kaufman Senior Center. <br /> <br /> B. In August 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution 4773, which authorized the City <br />Manager to lease the Kaufman Center to Emerald Empire Council on Aging for an initial term of one <br />year for $1.00, with an option to renew the lease for a second year for $1.00, depending on outcomes <br />achieved. The City and the Emerald Empire Council on Aging entered into the lease. Resolution <br />4773 also authorized the City Manager, in his discretion, to renew the lease for up to five more years <br />at a rate determined to be the fair market rental value. <br /> <br /> C. The use of the Kaufman Senior Center by Emerald Empire Council on Aging benefits <br />the City by providing needed accessible senior services, recreation and a seniors' community center <br />within the Jefferson Westside neighborhood. <br /> <br /> D. Despite the success of its programs and progress in the operation of the Kaufman <br />Senior Center, Emerald Empire Council on Aging is not yet able to pay fair market rental value for <br />the lease. <br /> <br /> E. The City Manager has determined that there is a limited market for rental of the <br />building and that determining a precise market value for a lease of the building is not feasible at this <br />time. The City Manager has recommended entering into a new lease with Emerald Empire Council <br />on Aging on terms that will require steady increases in rent. <br /> <br /> F. The City Manager proposes to lease the Kaufman Senior Center to Emerald Empire <br />Council on Aging at a rental rate that is greater than under the prior lease but is still less than fair <br />market value. The rental rate would increase each year during the term of the lease. <br /> <br /> G. The Kaufman Senior Center has not been declared surplus property and it not subject <br />to a development plan. <br /> <br /> H. Under Section 2.872 of the Eugene Code, 1971 the City Manager has authority to <br /> <br />Resolution- 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
