The City contracts management of the Love Civic Center to the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise <br />use of the surrounding land is governed by the City. With this, the City has met with Paul Allen, <br />Chamber President, to discuss the proposed RRVVMM project and he has expressed support. A <br />preliminary development meeting between the Chamber, City and RRVVMM took place on <br />February 22, 2024. Numerous items were discussed, including building the new facility to <br />aesthetically fit in with the Love Civic Center and the RRVVMM entrance, work around the <br />existing dumpster locations and RV spots, follow all required codes (as per the existing lease), <br />potential locations for parking lots, fire lane access, etc. <br />Before the RRVVMM proceeds with spending funds towards design, it is appropriate to determine <br />whether the City Council agrees with leasing more space to the RRVVMM. This would be an <br />amendment and expansion of their existing lease. Approval of a new lease is not scheduled tonight, <br />instead this is to seek council direction before doing further work (Staff and RRVVMM). <br />George Wood, RRVVMM President, plans to attend tonight's meeting to answer questions should <br />the city council have any. <br />BUDGET: <br />N/A <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Authorize the RRVVMM and City Staff to begin negotiations for an amendment to the <br />existing lease for the purpose of building a facility for their purposes. <br />2. Request additional information, add conditions, request a change in use, etc. <br />3. Reject the request. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />1. Authorize the RRVVMM and City Staff to begin negotiations for an amendment to the <br />existing lease for the purpose of building a facility for their purposes. <br />
