LEASE AGREEMENT FOR VILLAGE SQUARE PLAZA
Mr. Green noted that during its budget workshop sessions, Council discussed the need to
remodel and expand the Building Department or move it to a different location. Mr. Green
stated Village Administration had negotiated a lease agreement with the owner of Village
Square Plaza at 420 U.S. Highway One for approximately 2,400 square feet of space. Mr. Green
reviewed the terms of the proposed five -year lease agreement.
Discussion ensued regarding replacement of the HVAC systems for these suites. Mr. Rubin
explained that in lieu of a security deposit, the Village will contribute $6,000 toward the
estimated $20,000 cost to replace the units, and will perform preventative maintenance services
on the HVAC equipment.
Discussion was held regarding the five -year term of the lease. It was noted there is no right to
sublease and the use is limited. Council consensus was that paragraph 12, Use of Premises, be
revised to provide for any use allowed by Village Code.
Discussion took place concerning signage and the condition of the parking lot. Village Planner
Jodi Nentwick advised the sign concept would come back to Council for approval. Mrs. Nentwick
stated the parking lot should be replaced within the next month.
This item was forwarded to the next Regular Session agenda.
