VIA: Clyde Bishop, City Clerk
FROM: Harley Gifford, Deputy City Attorney
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND MARINE
TOYS FOR TOTS FOUNDATION, A VIRGINIA NONSTOCK
CORPORATION, RELATING TO A PORTION OF THE BUILDING AT
317 NORTH MAIN STREET, WAIVING AND RELEASING CERTAIN
COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING EXPENSE
CHARGES, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving a Lease Agreement between Pueblo, a Colorado
Municipal Corporation, and Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, a Virginia nonstock
corporation, for approximately 3,200 rentable square feet on the first floor and in the
basement of the building at 317 North Main Street, commonly known as the Pope Block
Building. Base rent is $0.00 for a two-year initial term and for each of three one-year
renewal terms.
The Lease also waives the obligation of Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to pay
common area maintenance and building operating expense charges for the term of the
Lease and releases the outstanding balance of $25,878.88 billed to it for ten months of
2025 under the parties' prior lease. Section 2 of the Ordinance approves that waiver
and release and directs the Director of Finance to cancel the corresponding receivable.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The Lease recites that the parties' prior lease was approved by Ordinance No. 10907,
adopted February 10, 2025, and that the City billed Marine Toys for Tots Foundation for
common area maintenance and building operating expense charges for ten months of
2025 under that lease.
BACKGROUND:
Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a charitable organization that conducts the Marine
Docusign Envelope ID: 545F3A9E-66EE-89EC-81 B3-B05C58A10870
Toys for Tots program, through which new toys are collected and distributed to children
in need. The Foundation has used space in the Pope Block Building to conduct the
program in the Pueblo community. The City owns the Building.
Under the prior lease the Foundation was billed for a share of common area
maintenance and building operating expenses. Those charges accumulated to an
unpaid balance of $25,878.88 over ten months of 2025. The Foundation advised the
City that it could not continue to operate from the Building if it remained responsible for
those charges, and City staff directed it to hold the invoices while the arrangement was
reconsidered.
The proposed Lease covers approximately 3,200 rentable square feet, consisting of the
first floor as it currently exists and, in the basement, two offices, the bathrooms, the
breakroom, and the west side for storage. The initial term is two years, with three
successive one-year renewal options exercisable by the Foundation on sixty days
written notice. Either party may terminate the Lease for any reason on sixty days written
notice. Base rent is $0.00 throughout, and the Foundation has no obligation to pay a
pro rata share of building operating expenses or common area maintenance charges.
The Foundation is responsible for janitorial services and for furnishing paper products
and cleaning supplies for the bathrooms and break area, for liability insurance of not
less than $1 million per person and per occurrence and $250,000 for property damage
naming the City as an additional insured, for worker's compensation insurance, and for
indemnifying the City against claims arising out of its operations and use of the
Building. Use of the Leased Premises is limited to general administrative office
purposes and storage of presents and accessories, and any change of use requires the
City's prior written consent. The City remains responsible for repair and maintenance of
the Building and the Building common areas, and will provide up to four building access
badges. Parking is to be procured under a separate agreement.
The Ordinance asks City Council to find that leasing the space at no rent, waiving the
operating expense and common area maintenance charges, and releasing the accrued
balance serve a valid public purpose by supporting the collection and distribution of
toys to children in need in the Pueblo community, and that the obligations the
Foundation undertakes under the Lease, together with that public benefit, are adequate
and valuable consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City will receive no rent for the initial term or for any renewal term and will receive
no reimbursement of common area maintenance or building operating expenses
attributable to the Leased Premises. The City will not collect the outstanding balance of
$25,878.88 for 2025 charges, or any related charges accrued before the
Commencement Date, and the corresponding receivable will be cancelled on the City's
records. The City continues to bear the cost of repairing and maintaining the Building
and the Building common areas.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
Docusign Envelope ID: 545F3A9E-66EE-89EC-81 B3-B05C58A10870
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the Lease will not be approved, and the Marine Toys
for Tots program will not have space in the Pope Block Building from which to conduct
its collection and distribution in the Pueblo community. Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
would also remain liable for the $25,878.88 balance billed for 2025.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
