EXPLANATION
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbus, Ohio, Department of Recreation and Parks ("City"), desires to enter into two (2) new lease agreements with The Child Development Council of Franklin County ("CDCFC"), an Ohio non-profit corporation. The City will lease to CDCFC portions of the recreation center at 1184 Barnett Rd, Columbus, OH 43227, which is commonly known as the City's Barnett Park ("Barnett Park"); and portions of the recreation center at 1254 Briarwood Ave., Columbus, OH 43211, which is commonly known as the City's Linden Park ("Linden Park"). CDCFC presently leases portions of Barnett and Linden Parks through September 30th, 2013. The lease term for these two (2) new lease agreements will be for one (1) year commencing on October 1st, 2013, and automatically renewing for successive one (1) year terms for a maximum of five (5) terms. CDCFC will pay annual rent calculated at a rate of Four and 00/100 U.S. Dollars per Square Foot ($4.00/ft²), which amounts to Nine Thousand, Sixteen, and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($9,016.00) for Barnett Park; and Eleven Thousand, Nine Hundred Twenty-eight, and 00/100 U.S. Dollars for Linden Park ($11,928.00).
CDCFC will continue to use portions of Barnett and Linden Parks for its Head Start, Early Head Start, and Child Care services and education programs to low-income children and families. The primary goal of the parks' continued use by CDCFC is to promote public education, success, health, and wellness of children and their families. CDCFC believes this holistic, whole family approach is key to the success of the children in their programs and vital to the eradication of poverty in the community.
Therefore, this legislation authorizes the City's Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into two (2) new lease agreements, as prepared by the Columbus City Attorney, Real Estate Division, between the City and CDCFC for portions of the recreation centers at Linden and Barnett Parks.
