PURPOSE:
To obtain the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board's approval of an automatic renewal of a
five year lease extension with Boulder Histoncal Society to continue their use and operation of
the Harbeck House located at 1206 Euclid Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
1'he City currently has a lease agreement with the Boulder Histoncal Society for use of the
Harbeck House and us adjacent property for the Boulder Museum of History The lease is for
a 20 year term which began in 1985 and ends January 1, 2005, allowing for automatic
extensions in five year mcrements.
With a timely nohce by the Boulder Histoncal Society, which we received m June 1999,
renewal for ffie next five year period is automatic and requires no action, unless we conclude
that a) they did not comply with their service plan during the last five years, or b) their new
service plan is inadequate, or c) they have violated a term of the lease itself. It has been
necessary for staff to wait until now to process the lease extension due to the fact that the 1999
AGENDA ITEM q Pa¢e 1
service plan was not available before this time. ~
A
ANALYSIS: '`~
Attached for your mformation is the lease agreement, ATTACHMENT A, the compitance
report for the last five years, ATTACHMENT B, and the service plan for the next five years,
ATTACHMENT C. Staff review fmds all of these documents acceptable and upon approval
from the PRAB intends to allow for the automaric extension for the five year penod beginning
January 1, 2000 and ending December 31, 2004 It will not be necessary to obtam Plamm~g
Board and City Council apgroval due to the fact that this is an automatic extension.
Staff anticipates that early next lease term, discussions will be held between the Museum and
the City to discuss future plans for the Harbeck House. This will hopefully allow a smooth
transition into another lease, or the return of the facility to the Ciry's operation.
STAFF RECOMNIENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Parks and Reczeation Advisory Board approve the automatic
renewal of a five year lease extension with Boulder Historical Sociery to continue their use
and operation of the Harbeck House located at 1206 Euclid Avenue until January 1, 2005.
