Explanation
On October 1, 2007 the City assumed operational control of 1393 E. Broad Street previously leased under a Master Lease Agreement to Columbus Compact Corporation. City Council passed Ordinance 1517-2007 in October authorizing the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to enter into lease agreements with four tenants at this facility. One of the tenants, Central Ohio Minority Business Association, has been under financial duress for most of the period of time since October 2007, and was unable to execute the lease. They remained current on all lease obligations as a holdover tenant, and have solidified their grant funding. They are now capable of executing the lease to remain in the building. COMBA will continue to occupy approximately 2,135 square feet of space in this building. The following legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary to enter into a lease agreement with the Central Ohio Minority Business Association
Emergency Action is requested to finalize this lease, allowing the tenant to move from holdover status to a fully documented tenant.
Fiscal impact: Passage of this ordinance will allow the City to continue to receive monthly rental of $2,135 for deposit into the "1393 East Broad Street Emergency Fund" to offset building operating expenses.
