MEMORANDUM

To: Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Members

Thru: Mike Navarre, Mayor

From: Lisa M. Parker, Planning Director

Date: October 21, 1999

Subject: Ordinance 99-65 Authorizing a Lease to the Boys and Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula, Homer Branch of the former Homer Intermediate School Gym and First Floor at other than Market Value

The Boys and Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula, Homer Branch desires to lease the gym and first floor of the former Homer Intermediate School facility located on a portion of the E Section 19, T6S, R12W, S.M., Alaska, Assessor Parcel No. 175-100-05. The Boys and Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula, Homer Branch plans to use the gym and first floor for its activities and purposes to support the youth of the southern peninsula.

This ordinance authorizes the administration to lease these premises to the Boys and Girls Club for $1 per year until either the former Homer Intermediate School facility is conveyed to the City of Homer pursuant to Ordinance 98-42 or for one year, whichever occurs first. A lease at less than fair market value is proposed because this club provides a public purpose by offering a wide assortment of programs and activities for youth in the borough, and the Boy's and Girl's Club is a non-profit corporation.

Shortened hearing is requested as the Boys and Girls Club wishes to occupy the premises as soon as possible to begin offering its programs to the community, and the next assembly meeting is not until December 14, 1999.
