BY: astaca —
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Senior Management Analy
Date: September 24, 2015 (CC Meeting of 1017/2015)
Subject: Consider Lease Agreement with American Legion, Moorpark Post
502 for Property at 220 High Street
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Agency") acquired the property
on the south side of High Street ("Property"), for redevelopment purposes. With the
dissolution of the Agency, the Property was transferred to the Successor Agency of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ("Successor Agency") as an Economic
Development asset. The property has several sites that have been the subject of leases
over the years, including the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce, Maria's Restaurant, and
the One More Time Thrift Store. In December 2014, the One More Time Thrift Store
terminated their lease.
The American Legion, Moorpark Post 502 ("Legion") approached the City about renting
the property at 220 High Street to use as storage for the various items that the Legion
uses during the course of their philanthropic activities. Staff informed the Legion that
the property will eventually be sold for development, although the timeframe is
uncertain. The future use of the property and uncertain timeframe were acceptable to
the Legion and they elected to pursue a lease agreement for use of the Property.
On February 12, 2015, staff was notified by the State Department of Finance (DOF),
that the Successor Agency's Property Management Plan was approved. On March 12,
2015, the Successor Agency approved the lease with the American Legion and in April
2015, the Oversight Board concurred with the Successor Agency's approval of the
lease. Pursuant to required procedures DOF was notified of the Oversight Boards
action. DOF notified the City that they were invoking their 40-day review period to
further study the Oversight Board action relevant to the lease with the American Legion.
•
On June 1, 2015, DOF notified the Successor Agency that the lease agreement with the
American Legion was not approved. DOF's stated reason for not approving the lease is
because the property that is the subject of the lease, should have been transferred to
the City of Moorpark pursuant to the approved Long Range Property Management Plan
152
Honorable City Council
October 7, 2015
Page 2
and that the "...City of Moorpark should be responsible for approving and executing
Agreements relevant to the property."
Staff is bringing the item to City Council for approval, since as DOF suggested, it is now
a City Council matter. Staff is supportive of the Legion's use of the Property. The
Property is currently vacant and there is no current need for the Property for the next
few years. Having the Property occupied will deter vandalism and reduce the City's
maintenance costs.
Staff has negotiated a proposed lease agreement with the Legion. The Property would
be utilized for office uses and related storage only. No services are to be provided to the
public from this location. The proposed lease term is for the period of November 1,
2015 through October 30, 2017. The rent would be $1.00 per year and the Legion will
be responsible for all utilities, maintenance, and repairs to the Property.
Staff recommends approving the proposed lease between the City and the Legion for
the Property.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed lease agreement is not anticipated to generate revenue for'the City of
Moorpark, but will reduce the expenses of maintaining the Property. Due to the fact that
the Property was previously rented, the City has spent minimal funding maintaining the
Property. Leasing the Property to the Legion will continue to keep the maintenance
costs for the Property low. The City will maintain property insurance for the Property,
but is not obligated to repair damage or replace improvements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve Lease Agreement with American Legion, Moorpark Post 502 for 220 High•
Street and authorize City Manager to sign the Agreement, subject to final language
approval of the City Manager.
Attachment: Lease Agreement

Exhibit A
Insurance Requirements
Tenant, at Tenant's expense shall throughout the term of this Lease, maintain:
Commercial General Liability Insurance and Umbrella Liability Insurance (with
drop down coverage applicable when underlying does not apply) that pays on behalf of
the insured, provides defense in addition to limits, concurrent starting and ending dates
for both primary and umbrella coverage, naming the City of Moorpark as additional
insured. Said coverage to encompass bodily injury and property damage during the
policy period, personal injury and advertising injury caused by an offense during the
policy period. Coverage will not exclude suits between insureds.
Coverage and limits shall apply to the full extent of the policy with no limitations to
vicarious liability for additional insureds and extending coverage to any location for
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 Tenant. Coverage provided by Tenant 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.
Tenant 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 Tenant'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
Tenant 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 2004 must be delivered to City no later than 30 days
following execution of this Lease. If Tenant fails to comply, City has the right but not the
duty to purchase such coverage and charge the premium to Tenant who must promptly
pay said premium. Tenant agrees to be personally responsible for all losses not
covered by insurance whether by reason of coverage being inapplicable or by Tenant'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.
