Body

SUMMARY: 

The purpose of this request is to enter into a lease with Clearwater Community Gardens, Inc. for a period of one year with a one-year renewal period.  The Clearwater Garden Club and the Clearwater Redevelopment Agency entered into a three-year lease in 2015 for a community garden in the Downtown Gateway neighborhood. The Clearwater Community Garden group established and has maintained the community garden on Grove Street since April 2015. The Clearwater Community Garden group has now formed their own 501c3, the Clearwater Community Gardens, Inc. and has requested to enter into a new lease with the CRA to serve as the lessee overseeing the community garden property. Staff is recommending approval of the new lease for one year with a one-year renewal.
