Recommendation

The Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission and staff recommend that the Council approve the attached lease agreements between the City and the Association for Retarded Citizens, Easter Seals Society and the City of Redondo Beach / South Bay Youth Project for space in the Community Center.

• Association for Retarded Citizens
• Easter Seals Society
• City of Redondo Beach / South Bay Youth Project

Background

The Association for Retarded Citizens organization has been a tenant in the Community Center since October 1, 1987. They lease Rooms 1, 2 and 15 (two classrooms and an office space). The ARC program deals with mentally and physically challenged adults.

Easter Seals has been a tenant in the Community Center since October 1, 1978. They lease Room 14. They teach independent living skills through community access and community resources to disabled young adults so they may learn how to become more self-sufficient.

The City of Redondo Beach / South Bay Youth Project has been a tenant in the Community Center since October 1, 2000 and they lease Room 6A. They are a non-profit organization that has provided counseling, parenting, and positive alternative activities for South Bay youth and their families since 1975.

Analysis

The attached three (3) leases conform to the square footage rental policy approved by Council on April 25, 2000 with all other conditions of the former leases remaining the same. The residency of these agencies in the Community Center has been of great value in helping families and individuals in the South Bay area.

Fiscal Impact: FY 01-02 - $38,070 and FY 02-03 TBD to the General Fund
