RE: Ordinance 70-08 -Lease Agreement with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce
For City-Owned Facility at 129 S. High Street
INTRODUCTION:
The Dublin Chamber of Commerce ("the Chamber") and the City of Dublin ("Dublin") entered
into a Lease Agreement ("Lease") on July 5, 1988. The Lease had a twenty year term and
expired on July 5, 2008. Attached is a new lease that we drafted on behalf of Dublin.
TERMS OF THE LEASE:
The key terms of the Lease are as follows:
1. Term: The Lease will last for five years and may be renewed for additional 5 year
increments if both parties agree to the new rental rate terms. Dublin may, however, take
the building back at any time if it determines it is in the best interest of the City to do so,
with 365 days' written notice to the Chamber.
2. Lease Rate: The Chamber was previously paying Dublin $6.40 per square foot, with
certain discounts, that resulted in a yearly lease total of approximately $16,000. The new
lease rate will be $8.40 per square foot, which will result in a yearly lease total of
approximately $25,200.00. The $8.40 figure was arrived at by taking the low range of
the City-obtained appraisal market rate recommendation ($12) and reducing that figure
by 20% for City usage and another 10% for school and community event usage.
Attached is a memorandum from the Finance Department dated May 31, 2007 that
further discusses the historical data on the rental rates.
3. Maintenance: The City is obligated under the new lease to perform all maintenance
duties on the building, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, snow removal, exterior
building and parking lot maintenance. The Chamber is required to make any cosmetic
enhancements to the interior of the building and pay all utility charges.

4. Insurance: The Chamber is obligated to obtain general liability insurance and name the
City as an additional insured. The City is obligated to maintain property insurance on the
Building.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Law Department recommends approval of Ordinance No. 70-08 and, upon the approval of
the Ordinance, will forward a copy of the Lease to the City Manager for execution.

Re: Extension of Lease -Dublin Chamber of Commerce
Memo
Summary
On Wednesday, May 2, 2007, the Finance Committee of City Council met with representatives of the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) to discuss possible renewal terms for the Chamber's lease
of the City-owned building at 129 S. High Street. While the lease does not expire until July, 2008, the
Chamber wishes to discuss the renewal at this time for budget planning purposes.
The current lease establishes the rental rate at $20,000 per year ($1,667/month based on a rounded
square footage of 3,000 square feet of leased space), or approximately $6.67/square foot. However, the
City discounts that rate by $4,000, or 20 percent, in recognition of the availability of the restrooms in the
building for public use during Chamber regular business hours and of the availability of space for City
use on an as-needed basis. This discount brings the current rate to approximately $5.33/square foot
($1,333/month). Additionally, the current ]ease includes the cost of property insurance as a
responsibility of the Chamber. However, the City has been unable to obtain a certificate of insurance for
the property from the Chamber, and has included the property among those covered by the City.
In a letter dated February 15, 2007, the Chamber suggested a lease rate of $665/month and an extension
of the lease for 20 years from July, 2008. The proposed rate equates to approximately $2.66/square foot
or $7,980/yeaz.
An appraisal dated April 23, 2007, commissioned by the City, establishes the market rate at between
$12-$17 per square foot. Based on the low end of this range, the market rate rent for the building is
approximately $36,000, or $3,000/month. Accounting for continuation of the City use as described in
the current lease, and the restroom availability, continuation of the 20 percent discount reduces that rate
to $9.60/square foot, $28,800/year, or $2,400 per month.
The Chamber also makes space available to school groups and other community organizations, a service
that the Chamber stated benefits the community as a whole and by extension, the City. For this service,
it was suggested that an additional reduction be taken to the rental rate, with the amount of 10 percent
discussed. If this additional discount is applied to the base of $12/square foot, the revised rate becomes
$8.40/squaze foot, $25,200/yeaz, or $2,100/month.

May 31, 2007
Page 2 of 2
Another possible discount was discussed based on various improvements betterments that the Chamber
has considered making to the building, including repaving the parking lot, painting the building, etc.
The suggested value of these potential improvements of $0.50/square foot* further reduces the lease rate
to $7.90/square foot, $23,700/year, or $1,975/month. To recap the adjustments outlined above, please
see attachment A.
In the course of the Finance Committee discussion, other areas in which the City could mitigate some
costs in recognition of the public use of the facility were identified. Those areas included the
continuation of City provision of property insurance for the building, consistent with coverage of other
City-owned buildings, and evaluation of City maintenance of the parking lot.
Recommendation
While the proposed $7.96 per square foot rental rate is higher than the current rate, it is below that of a
comparable facility, and lower than the City's current lease rate for the Dublin Village Tavem (the
Tavern). The current lease rate for the Tavern is $9/square foot, and takes into account improvements
being made by the current lessee at his expense.
The City has an obligation to provide reasonable return on public assets to the taxpayers, and to balance
that obligation against providing facilities to organizations that serve the public within the community.
Based on those considerations, the rate of $7.90/square foot is a reasonable renewal rate for this lease in
July, 2008, with a recommended renewal period of five years.
* The discussion of the value of these possible improvements was based on an estimated value of
$5/square foot, amortized over 10 years.
