Item No. 7 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: GIRL SCOUT LEASE RENEWAL <br />DATE: March 6, 2017 <br />BACKGROUND: For a number of years, the Girl Scout Council of Red River Valley has leased <br />city property at Lake Gibbons. The current lease began February 10, 2007, and was renewed in <br />2012 for a second five -year term, which recently expired. The scouts use the area for picnics, <br />swimming, camping, etc., and are required to perform maintenance and provide insurance. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The agreement has gone well for both parties for many years, and the Girl <br />Scouts have requested another renewal. This is a good use of public property and reduces the <br />acreage and facilities required to be maintained by limited city staff. <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve renewal of lease for additional five years. <br />
