    Item 6C - MABELLEarts - Long Term Lease and Operating Agreement for parts of Mabelle Park TCHC April 27, 2021 Board Meeting Report #: TCHC:2021-27 Attachment 2 Item MABELLEarts 6C VALUATION OF PROGRAMS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS - TCHC:2021-27 and BACKGROUND AND HISTORY WORKING WITH TCH Executive Summary This document sets out the value proposition supporting MABELLEarts proposal to lease Mabelle Park - on which MABELLEarts will construct a community building, improve the park and run programming. Attachment In exchange for entering into the lease TCH receives: • Capital Investment on its land of approximately $2 million+ • A commitment to provide programming which we value at $500,000+ per year 2 In addition, TCH tenants and the community benefit from heightened safety of an animated park space and opportunities to connect, inspire and lead. There is no way to place a number on that value. We have demonstrated below our ability to raise and sustain the funds to complete the Project and operate programming. The lease and proposed project are the result of years of community consultation and enjoys the support of the Mayor and local City Councillor. The cost to TCH is intended to be neutral – with its current cost of maintaining the park being paid to MABELLEarts as a fee for carrying out maintenance duties in the park. TCH will complete its own risk analysis. However, any risk can be mitigated in the Lease. Effectively the downside to TCH is that the lease will default and it will acquire ownership of a better park. “It's kinda weird. This is the first neighbourhood where I walk down the street and everyone is saying hi to me.

    Can Toronto be Run Like a Business? Observations on the First Two Years of the Ford Mayoralty in Torontoi. Richard Stren Cities Centre University of Toronto Prepared for Presentation at the CPSA Annual Conference, Edmonton, Alberta June, 2012 Draft Only. No Citations or References without Express Consent of the Author. Mayoral candidate Rob Ford’s speech at the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada (August 9, 2010): I come from the private sector, where my father started a labeling company….I’m proud to say that with the help of my brothers we have expanded to three locations in New Jersey, Chicago and Rexdale, and we now employ approximately 300 people….What I have seen in the last ten years is very disturbing at City Hall.
