The owner Janet McCarty approached the Library Board about the possibility of <br />leasing a small space in the lobby fox a coffee cart. The cart would use approxnnately 63 square feet. Ms. <br />McCarty created a template of the footprint of the cart and met with staff to review the impact on library <br />use. Library staff is satisfied that the cart's operation will not interfere with library operations. "Mochas to <br />Go" would be responsible to pay a licensed electrician for an additional electrical outlet. <br />Staff researched lease rates of other new retail space in Elk River and believes that $1,417.50 per year, <br />inclusive of utilities and cotxtmon area maintenance, is consistent with square foot costs in similar space. <br />At the February 26, 2008 Library Board meeting the Board voted to recommend to City Council the <br />approval of a one year lease. This agreement is under review by Gray Plant Moody and approval would <br />be contingent upon incorporating any changes recommended by the city attorney. <br />Financial Impact <br />The proposed lease rate would generate $1,417.50 per year. <br />Attachments <br />^ Draft Lease Agreement <br />^ Library Board Minutes <br />Action Motion by _ Second by _ Vote <br />Follow Up <br />C:\Documrnts and Settings\jjohnson\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK49\CoEFee Cart-Lilxary Action Requestdoc <br />
