Title

Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a lease agreement with The Toledo Edison Company for use of a parking lot at Detwiler Park as a temporary storage lot; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The City of Toledo, Division of Parks and Recreation requests authorization to enter into a lease agreement with The Toledo Edison Company for use of the former Detwiler Park pool parking lot as a temporary storage lot.  The parking lot has not been actively used for park operations since the pool closed.  The Toledo Edison Company is doing a large infrastructure project nearby and needs a lay down area for construction materials.  The initial lease term is one year with the ability to extend month to month thereafter.  Toledo Edison has agreed to pay the city $500 per month for the use of the lot.

 

Summary

NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

 

SECTION 1.  That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a lease agreement with The Toledo Edison Company for use of a parking lot at Detwiler Park as a temporary storage yard, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Public Services.

 

SECTION 2. That said lease agreement shall be for an initial term of one year with the option for month-to-month extensions thereafter, and shall contain those terms and conditions, and stipulations deemed requisite by the Mayor, Director of Public Services, and the Director of Law.

 

SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the city to waive the 30-day notice provision of Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 187 for the reason that The Toledo Edison Company needs immediate use of the parking lot due to their construction contract timeline.

 

SECTION 4.  That the Finance Department is authorized to accept and deposit the lease fees into the Parkland Replacement Fund, Account Code 2006-40100-7745001STDSTD.

 

SECTION 6.  That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and property and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective to allow The Toledo Edison Company to meet their construction timeline.
