OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY
OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Oversight Board to the Successor Agency
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Management An ys
DATE: January 28, 2014 (Oversight Board Meeting of 02/18/14)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Lease Agreement with Moorpark
Foundation for the Arts for 33 High Street
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
The tenant in Suite 200 (820 sq.ft.) at 33 High Street recently vacated the building. The
monthly rent for this area was $1,189. ($1.45/sq.ft./mo) The Moorpark Foundation for
the Arts (MFA), which currently rents Suite 100 (900 sq.ft.), would like to rent the entire
building (2,000 sq.ft., including common area previously excluded from the lease square
footage). The MFA's original lease was with the City of Moorpark, pending the outcome
of the court decision regarding the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA).
The RDA became defunct February 2012 and all property previously transferred to the
City became the property of the Successor Agency on that date. The MFA's current
lease term expires September 30, 2014. In recognition of this, staff will terminate the
MFA's lease for suite 100 and is recommending approving a new lease with the MFA
and Successor Agency that encompasses the entire building. The termination of the
current MFA lease would only occur if the Oversight Board approves the new lease for
the whole building.
Since the MFA will be the only tenant in the building, they will become responsible for all
costs for utilities (water, electric, phone) at the building, security alarm, and janitorial
maintenance. The Successor Agency would continue to provide landscape
maintenance and major property maintenance repairs. In anticipation of receiving a
response from the State Department of Finance (DOF) on the Successor Agency's
Property Management Plan (PMP), the lease is proposed to be month-to-month. DOF is
expected to finalize its decisions in early 2014, however, under the law they do not have
to make a decision on the PMP until January 2015. The MFA would be required to
increase the security deposit on file by an additional $400 to $1,000 in recognition of the
larger lease area. The Successor Agency approved the lease on December 4, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT
Due to the small square footage of suite 200, the uncertainty of its future, and the
willingness of the MFA to take on all utility, security alarm, and janitorial costs, staff is
recommending keeping the rent at the MFA's current rate of$600/mo until a decision on
the PMP is reached by the DOF. In addition to providing $600/mo in rental revenue, the
City will realize savings on electricity, water, and security alarm costs totaling
approximately $191/mo. The cost of the landscape maintenance at 33 High Street is
$121 per month, there are no other routine maintenance costs associated with the
property that the Successor Agency would be responsible for after the MFA lease starts.
The maintenance and utility costs are currently funded by the General Fund. The
savings on the utilities (electric, water, and burglar alarm) covers the landscape
maintenance costs for the building and saves the General Fund $70/mo. Without the
monthly rental income from the previous tenant of Suite 200, the Agency would not
have that income to offset any non-routine maintenance or repairs to the building.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OB-2014- authorizing new Lease Agreement with
Moorpark Foundation for the Arts for 33 High Street, subject to final language approval
of the Executive Director.

operations or activities necessary or incidental to the operations of the leased premises.
Coverage limits for primary and umbrella liability insurance combined to be no less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annually in the aggregate. This is the
minimum requirement and is not considered as precluding City from availing itself of any
additional coverage or limits available from Lessee. Coverage provided by Lessee is
intended to apply first on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any insurance or
self-insurance of City. City shall approve deductibles.
Lessee agrees to waive rights of subrogation as to City and to have all policies of
insurance required here endorsed to permit such waiver. All insurance provided
pursuant to this requirement is to be provided by insurers admitted and authorized to do
business in the state of California with minimum Best's rating of A:VII. The insurance
coverage and limits required here shall not be construed as a limit of Lessee's liability.
Rent shall not abate by any reason of damage to or destruction of the premises. Any
rent insurance proceeds received by City by reason of such damage or destruction of
leased premises shall be applied by City to the payment of rent, but this shall not relieve
Lessee of any obligation under the lease including the obligation to pay rent.
Proof of insurance using certificates of insurance and standard ISO endorsement No.
CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992 must be delivered to City no later than 30 days
following execution of this Lease. If Lessee fails to comply, City has the right but not the
duty to purchase such coverage and charge the premium to Lessee who must promptly
pay said premium. Lessee agrees to be personally responsible for all losses not
covered by insurance whether by reason of coverage being inapplicable or by Lessee's
failure to obtain coverage.
Workers' Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits
as required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or
disease.
