| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Robert M. Rivera, Public Works Director | | DATE: | 5/6/2025 | | RE: | First Reading, Ordinance No. 2025-2326: Property Lease Agreement w/CJBJ Ventures LLC (The Social) |
REQUEST:
The request of staff for City Council is to conduct the first reading and approval of Ordinance No. 2025-2326 allowing the authorization for execution of the lease agreement between the City of New Port Richey and CJBJ Ventures, LLC (The Social) attached as Exhibit “A”.
DISCUSSION:
As City Council is aware, the Thomas Meighan Parking Lot underwent a major transformation due to the Nebraska Ave. Parking Lot Improvements Project. Part of the Nebraska Ave. Parking Lot Improvements Project included the addition of a twenty-eight (28’) foot by ten (10’) foot concrete pad, fencing around the pad, and an apron leading up to the pad for the purposes of housing trash dumpsters for adjacent restaurants and businesses.
The intent of this Ordinance is a renewal of the existing lease for CJBJ Ventures, LLC (who operates The Social) for use of a portion of the dumpster pad. The Social would continue to be responsible for making sure their dedicated dumpster area is kept clean and would continue to be responsible for a monthly leasing fee to the city for use of the new dumpster pad.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-2326.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
CJBJ Ventures, LLC will pay the City $31.20 per month for the use of the City owned property. This cost is based on the property’s square footage and is based off of the past lease agreements the City has with The Social. | | | |
