BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 2011, the City Council approved the lease agreements with the above-referenced tenants for office space at the Killeen Arts & Activities Center (KAAC). The leases were for a period of five (5) years, expiring in July and August, 2016, with renewal options for two, five (5)-year terms. The Greater Killeen Free Clinic's lease term is for fifteen (15) years because of requirements under CDBG regulations in that any lease related to CDBG funding must be for a minimum of fifteen (15) years. CDBG funds were used to rehabilitate that building in 2011.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
In the original lease agreements approved by council, there is an option to renew for two additional five (5) year terms. Staff is proposing to amend the renewal term to one three (3) year term. Bell County Human Services, Richard Milburn Academy, and Bring Everyone in the Zone currently pay monthly rent as well as utilities. The Killeen Civic Art Guild, Central Texas Council of Governments, and Greater Killeen Free Clinic currently do not pay monthly rent or utilities to the City of Killeen for the office space they occupy at the KAAC. Greater Killeen Free Clinic does pay for janitorial fees to the city for the cleaning of its space.
