body
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On August 7, 2019, the City Council approved a Property Use Agreement (“Agreement”) with Cause of Christ (“Permittee”) for the use of a small office and storage room within the John Landes Recreation Center located at 2855 Cedar Road (“Building”). The original term of the Agreement was for a period of three years, from August 7, 2019 to August 6, 2022, with no rental fee for the use of the Premises.
On August 10, 2022, the City Council approved Amendment 1 to Property Use Agreement which extended the term from August 7, 2022 to August 6, 2023, with Permittee occupying the space to provide programs, services, and activities to the community.
On August 23, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment 2 to Property Use Agreement which extended the term from August 7, 2023 to August 6, 2024, and relocated Permittee from within the Building to an on-site detached building to continue to provide programs, services, and activities to the community.
Over the past five years, Permittee has been providing outreach activities to the community along with events and programs that benefit the neighborhood immediately surrounding the John Landes Recreation Center. Some of the current programs operated by Permittee, which benefit Oceanside residents, include “Adopt-O-Block” neighborhood clean-up efforts, and Food Distribution, which are operated approximately two times per month. Permittee has been instrumental in helping reduce crime at John Landes Park and the surrounding neighborhood by running various programs and activities that have a positive impact on the area’s at-risk youth, as well as helping families in need.
At this time, Permittee has requested to enter into a one-year extension to the Property Use Agreement with the City, to provide the same programs and services the community enjoys for the betterment of the neighborhood.
It is mutually beneficial to extend the term of the Agreement so Permittee can use the Premises as its home base to continue to provide its programs and services to the community.
The City will pay for repairs, maintenance and utility costs associated with the Premises. Permittee will have access to the common area/shared use spaces within the building, parking lot, and basketball courts, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and shared with the other occupants and users of the building.
Permittee continues to provide valuable outreach activities, as well as family and youth related services and activities to the residents of Oceanside. These programs shall constitute the consideration to be paid by Permittee for the use of the Premises during the one-year term of the proposed Amendment, which shall commence on August 7, 2024 and expire on August 6, 2025. The Agreement also provides for one successive one-year extension option, and may be terminated by City or Permittee upon providing thirty days written notice to the other party.
