RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the lease agreement between the City and the
Costa Mesa Historical Society, for an initial 5 -year term beginning January 01, 2017 and ending
on December 31, 2022, and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City and
the City Manager to sign any subsequent extensions.
BACKGROUND
The City of Costa Mesa owns the Historical Society Museum building located at 1870 Anaheim
Avenue and leases it to the Costa Mesa Historical Society for their use in education and
historical preservation. In addition, the City owns the Diego Sepulveda/Estancia Adobe located
at 1900 Adams. The Historical Society provides docent tours and conducts historical research
at both sites. The City and Historical Society entered into a lease agreement for the Museum
on June 01, 2006 and ending on December 31, 2011, after which the Agreement was
automatically renewed with 5 one-year extensions until December 31, 2016 (Attachment 1).
Although the initial term has expired, under the terms of that agreement, the Historical Society
remains in possession of the premises on a month-to-month basis, with mutual consent.
Over the years, the City and the Historical Society have enjoyed a strong working relationship
and several members of the Society are also long-term members of the Historical Preservation
Committee. Historical Society volunteers offer a variety of educational programs and tours of
both sites and maintain an extensive collection of historical photos, articles and other
information on Costa Mesa's growth and rich history.
ANALYSIS
At this time, staff are presenting an updated lease agreement (Attachment 2) between the City
and the Historical Society.
The general terms and conditions of the proposed lease are as follows:
Term: 5 -year term beginning January 01, 2017 through December 31, 2022, with an
additional one (1) year term extension for up -to five (5) additional years. After this
period, a Holdover Agreement will come into force legally allowing for month -by -month
extensions.
• Termination Clause: The agreement may be terminated without cause, with 30 -days
written notice to either party.
• Facilities: Both facilities, the Museum and Adobe are included in this agreement.
• Maintenance: The City will maintain the exterior structure of both facilities.
• Utilities: The City shall provide the existing utilities to the Museum building.
• Scheduling: The City shall receive priority in event scheduling for both facilities.
• Cleaning & Custodial Services: The Historical Society will be responsible for general
cleaning and custodial services of the interior of the buildings.
• Maintenance: The Historical Society will be responsible for maintenance and repair of
all personal property, display cases, exhibits, research material and furniture.
FISCAL REVIEW
The City will charge the Historical Society $1 per year for use of the facilities, as per the existing
arrangement.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed the lease agreement and approved it as to form.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. City Council could choose to not approve the lease agreement and thus, eliminate the
use of the building for the Costa Mesa Historical Society.
2. City Council could choose to donate the Museum building to the Historical Society and
re -write the agreement as a land lease only. The City would then allow the Historical
Society to use the Adobe for tours under a "permit" system, similar to other park rentals.
Staff would recommend the Historical Society use permit fee be waived because of the
educational nature of the Adobe.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the lease agreement between the City and the
Costa Mesa Historical Society, for an initial 5 -year term beginning January 01, 2017 and ending
on December 31, 2022, and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City and
the City Manager to sign any subsequent extensions.
