ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION:

a) Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Lease Agreement between the Village of Huntley and the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce for 11704 Coral Street

Village Manager David Johnson reported that the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce currently leases the former Village Hall building at 11704 Coral Street to serve as the office space for the Chamber. The initial lease term was for five years, beginning July 1, 2011 and running through June 30, 2016, with an option to extend the lease. The Chamber is seeking a renewal of the lease.

Staff Analysis

The lease requires that public access be allowed to the washrooms during the Farmers Market and other special downtown events. The Chamber is responsible for maintaining the interior of the building, and the exterior of the building is to be kept clean and free from rubbish and dirt. Monthly rent includes utilities, except for telephone and internet services. The lease extension is proposed for a one-year period.

Financial Impact

The monthly rent is proposed to be $500.00 per month. Annual revenue generated would be $6,000.00.

Legal Analysis

The Village Attorney has reviewed the proposed agreement and all is in order for Village Board consideration.

Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.
