CITY OF COLTON CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of September 15, 1998 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVAL: Henry T. Garcia, City Manager FROM: Thomas K. Clarke, Utility Director t� SUBJECT: Lease of Utility Property to Tiger Rescue DATE: September 9, 1998 Tiger Rescue is a non-profit organization for the care and housing of retired animal actors. They are being forced to leave their present location in Riverside County because of encroaching residential development. They are earnestly seeking a new location for their sanctuary. The Wastewater Division owns property on the south side of Agua Mansa Road,- which could be made available to Tiger Rescue. There is approximately six acres at the site where the old sewer treatment giant was located. The Wastewater Division has no plans to use the property now or in the immediate future. A lease could be developed that would accommodate the needs of the Tiger Rescue group and provide a use of the property. The Wastewater Division does not want to sell the property at this time. A structured lease would be a suitable transaction that would result in development of the corridor and a reasonable use of the vacant land. Alternatively, the City could deny the request and decline to deal with this organization's proposal. All costs for the on-site occupancy would be borne by the Tiger Rescue group. At this time no adverse environmental impacts are anticipated for the proposed use of the property. That the City Council authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and execute the lease with Tiger Rescue to permit the relocation of the animal sanctuary to the City of Colton. Item # 23
