Documentary:
The City recently issued a request for proposals for use of space on the bottom
three floors on the Main Street side of the Freese's building. In addition to
the proposal received from Partnerships for Healthy Communities to establish a
e
children's museum,
the City received proposals from the university of Maine,
The Department of Art and The Museum of Art, and the Maine College of Art.
Both schools propose art instruction and display. To allow time for the City no
review these proposals, interview repconsider
of both schools, and c aider
the proposals submitted, the City needs to r space in the Freese's
building after title to the property is transferred to Realty Resources this
month. This Order would authori2e a lease option agreement with Realty
Resources Chartered. It would provide anasignable option for the City to
lease the ring apace not proposed fors
use by the children's mu The
option to lease the space, encompassing approximately 12,000 square feet of
area n three floors, would allow the City to enter a lease agreement with
Realty Resources before March 1, 1999, orn
assign its option to o r both of
the schools that submitted proposals for the space. There would be no
cost to
the City for the option. The terms of the future lease agreement would have to
be worked out, but the rent, as proposed, would not exceed the expenses
Incurred for operating the pertinent apace, plus a management fee not to exceed
0 of rental income from the space.
