Agenda Report City of Phoenix to Mayor and Council Heart of the Rogue Valley Agenda item title: Discussion of Best Use for Civic Center Office Space Meeting Date: August 6, 2018 From: Aaron Prunty, City Manager Action: ___Motion, __Ordinance, __Resolution, _X__Information only, __Other SUMMARY: There are two office spaces available at the civic center. City staff expects use of one of the office spaces will be used by a volunteer for the city, a RARE student. City council has requested a discussion about uses of the civic center office space. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: At a previous meeting there was a discussion about staff developing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and a possible lease agreement; however, tonight’s discussion will likely give staff more direction on how the council sees the space being utilized. From this discussion staff can better prepare a related MOU/lease agreement, something consistent with the council’s vision for the space. COUNCIL GOALS SUPPORTED: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is yet to be determined. There is an unknown, but projected to be $50,000.00, annual operating cost. Renting office space is an opportunity to recoup some of those costs. The flip-side of that is there may be an organization that the council feels should be in that space, even at a “loss”. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the council provide direction to staff, whether the city should provide the space at minimal cost to a civic or non-profit organization, or if staff should draft agreement/lease documents that attempts to recoup the proportionate share of operating costs for that space.
