Department Approval / r l�'�, Jy REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 2/23/09 Item No.: 7.g City Manager Approval � / Item Description: Authorize Extension to the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center Ground Lease Addendum BACKGROUND On July 24, 2000, the Roseville City Council entered into an agreement with the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to construct a facility in Roseville Central Park near the Harriet Alexander Nature Center. On May 20, 2002 the City Council approved an addendum to the lease agreement (attached) modifying the building site pad as well as outlining the financial responsibility for parking lot and driveway improvements (Section 3). The modification of the building site pad negatively impacted the number of parking stalls and the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center agreed to provide the funds necessary for parking lot, driveway and related improvements should they be necessary. On November 26, 2007, staff recommended and the Roseville City Council approved an extension of the expiration date (attached agreement) of section # 3, "financial responsibility for the parking lot and driveway improvements" from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2009. Since we are approaching the expiration date, it is either necessary to do the project or extend the expiration date. Staff has been in regular communication with the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and, at their request, recommends that section 3 of the lease addendum "financial responsibility for the parking lot and driveway improvements" set to expire on March 31, 2009 be extended until December 31, 2013. Attached is a lease extension agreement between the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and the City of Roseville that has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is recommended for approval. Policy Objective Officially approving a lease extension is consistent with City policy.
