HomeMy WebLinkAbout02-19-2019 Item 7 - Laguna Lake Golf Course Community Partnership Agreement with Achievement House Department Name: Parks and Recreation Cost Center: 7007 For Agenda of: February 19, 2019 Placement: Consent Estimated Time: N/A FROM: Shelly Stanwyck, Parks and Recreation Director Prepared By: Devin Hyfield, Parks and Recreation Manager SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF THE LAGUNA LAKE GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH ACHIEVEMENT HOUSE, INC. AND REDUCTION OF RENTAL PAYMENT RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve an amended and restated Agreement with Achievement House, Inc. to continue to provide food and beverage concessionaire at Laguna Lake Golf Course. 2. Eliminate rental payments of concession operations at the Laguna Lake Golf Course with additional services provided at the golf course pro -shop. DISCUSSION Background On October 19, 2010 the City Council appro ved an amended Concessionaire Agreement with Achievement House, Inc. This agreement reflects a mutually beneficial partnership between the City and the Achievement House to provide food and beverage concessions at the Laguna Lake Golf Course while providing for an array of vocational services and workplace skills to developmentally disabled adults. The approved Concessionaire Agreement allowed the offset of the costs of kitchen facility improvements at the golf course against “rent”. The initial term of t he agreement concluded in October 2016. A three-year extension was approved by City Council in December 2015 and the amendment to the current Concessionaire Agreement decreased rent payments for the remainder of the initial term and minimal rent during the allowed extension. Per the Amended Concessionaire Agreement, all the kitchen facility improvements for the 11 th Hole Grill (estimated at $60,000 upon amendment) were to be performed and paid -for by the Achievement House as a condition of the Agreement. The amount expended for facility improvements was to be credited by the City against the monthly lease obligation of $1,250/month and were to be equal to the amount expended for the building improvements. However, the costs to improve the building site (k itchen, club house and restaurant equipment) significantly exceeded the original estimate; with a total facility improvement cost of over $80,000. The Achievement House has expressed to the City Council in the past its concern about the financial investment needed to operate the 11th Hole Grill and the limited concessionaire Packet Pg. 39 Item 7 sales. Both have significantly impacted Achievement House’s ability to pay the monthly lease fee originally agreed to. In December 2015, a reduced lease rate of $1,800 per year was approved by City Council during the Extension Term.). Achievement House, Inc. Achievement House is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation based in San Luis Obispo, which provides employment opportunities, skills development and workplace integration for developmentally disabled adults. Currently, Achievement House provides concessionaire services to the several Central Coast communities with the 11 th Hole Grill at the Laguna Lake Golf Course, Orange Dog Café in Atascadero, Café Bob at Camp Roberts Military Base and the Grub Hub Concessionaire Stand at the Santa Maria Transportation Center. Achievement House has been successfully operating the 11th Hole Grill since 2011 and has played a role in the daily operations at the Laguna Lake Golf Course. Achievement House desires to continue to lease the premises at Laguna Lake Golf Course and the current lease arrangement has proven mutually beneficial for both the City and the community. Elimination of Rental Payment in Lieu of Additional Services Performed by Achievemen t House The proposed updated partnership agreement is provided and consistent with the City’s guidelines for leases of City-owned building and real property. In lieu of an annual rental price, Achievement House will provide additional janitorial services t o the pro-shop as well as pay a portion of the monthly sewer utility cost. Previous Council or Advisory Body Action In 2010 and 2015, the Council supported and approved of a concession agreement with Achievement House. Policy Context The following guidelines apply to leases of City-owned buildings with outside parties per the City’s Financial Management Manual, Section 475 -C (Property Management and Disposal). Non-Profit Organizations 1. Requests for the long-term use of City property by non-profit organizations should generally follow the same review procedures as the sale or lease of City property by private for-profit entities. 2. The proposed use should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and not conflict or preclude any existing or planned City use. 3. Any development or operations directly related to the proposed use should have a clear and measurable community benefit in alignment with City goals, policies, and plans. 4. Any lease agreements for the use of City property by non-profit organizations that charge a less than market rate for the City property should include a provision for community access and/or City use or operate in close partnership in the delivery of City services. 5. Lessees will be responsible for all property related use taxes that may be assessed. Packet Pg. 40 Item 7 This agreement follows City guidelines by providing a clear and measurable community benefit. Public Engagement This item is on the agenda for the February 19, 2019 City Council meeting and wil l follow all required postings and notifications. The public may comment on this item at or before the meeting. CONCURRENCE Parks and Recreation staff have met with Achievement House representatives to discuss the proposed updates to the Concessionaire Agreement. Achievement House concurs with the terms of the revised agreement as proposed. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Pr oject” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378. FISCAL IMPACT Budgeted: No (reference Financial Plan page# in narrative) Budget Year: N/A Funding Identified: N/A Fiscal Analysis: Funding Sources Total Budget Available Current Funding Request Remaining Balance Annual Ongoing Cost General Fund N/A $ $ $ State Federal Fees Other: Total N/A $ $ $ Achievement House lease revenues will not be calculated into the Parks and Recreation Departments’ revenue projections for the 2019-21 Financial Plan as a request for relief from them was received during the forecasting of said revenues. Upon the expiration of the agreement term in February 2024, the agreement terms will be reviewed, and recommendations provided to the City Council for consideration. Packet Pg. 41 Item 7 ALTERNATIVES 1. Seek Requests for Proposals. The Council could choose to deny the extension of the Concessionaire Agreement with Achievement House and direct staff to pursue proposals for these services. Staff does not recommend this alternative. In 2008, a Request for Proposals for concessionaire at the golf course yielded no responses. The current concessionaire, Achievement House, has provided an equally beneficial service to the golf course since 2010. 2. Deny Modification to Rental Payments. The City Council could amend the proposed Concessionaire Agreement, denying a reduction in rental fees, and approve a lease agreement at the full market rent of $1,250 per month or $15,000 annually to the Achievement House. This alternative is not recomme nded as Achievement House has significantly invested in the facility improvements necessary to conduct concessionaire services at this location. Additionally, the City Council has previously determined that the proposed used by the Achievement House has a clear and measurable community benefit in alignment with City goals.
