Council Report 2009 -015
Approve Second Amendment to HCRRA Lease Agreement
Nos. 73 -34044 and 73 -34011
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council approve
the second amendments to HCRRA lease agreement Nos. 73 -34044 and 73-
34011.
Overview.
Since 1999, the City has had lease agreements with HCRRA allowing limited City
use of two sections of HCRRA property along the north segment Southwest LRT
regional trail (aka Lake Minnetonka LRT regional trail) through central Hopkins.
The uses are defined as: trash hauling, school bus turn - around, alley and snow
plow purposes. Specifically, the segments are located along the HCRRA
property between 7th and 8th Avenues (along the north edge of the MarketPlace
& Main redevelopment property) and a short section at the north end of 18th
Avenue North where it dead -ends at the trail. The first amendment to these
leases was approved in 2004 and simply extended the term to March 31, 2009.
This second amendment extends the term another 60 months to expire on March
31, 2014 and increases the insurance limits, which had not increased since the
original lease in 1999. There is no cost to the City for these leases. Staff
recommends approval of the second amendments.
