The current lessee, Piuma-Ciocca Enterprises, Inc., has sub- mitted a communication requesting that the current lease be extended for two consecutive five year periods. Staff recommended that the status be reviewed and that this begin at this time which would en- able the City to notify the lessee approximately one year prior to the termination date. The report included a recapitulation of the site and the operation under a lease executed in 1957. The lease originally provided for a 15 year init'ial term with three five year extensio.n options. The site is 28.5 acres owned by the City... 25 acres for, the golf course" 1.7 acres for the access road, 1.8 acres for the Arcadia Mounted Police Building and 1 acre for the Green Leaf Growers Wholesale Nursery. The Nursery lease expires in December 1987 also. Revenue for the last ten years was set forth in the report dated February 27, 1986 $152,952. Staff recommended the present usage as the best use for the land and that a Request For Proposals for the maintenance, operation and enhancement of the site be authorized. This would come before Council for approval prior to its issuance. This would provide an opportunity to test the,market and obtain the best operator available for the gol~ course which use ,was agreed by all to be the best use. Discussion ensued on the revenue being generated and the,City Attorney will research the suggestion, of Criuncilmember Chandler as to whether,or not an admission tax or some 0ther method of increasing the revenue would be possible. Councilmember Harbicht'commented.-in part~ tnat' - one of the functions of the City is to provide recreational facilities and this ,is real cheap recreation... tha.t ,he was not certain, Council should be trying to generate a significant amount of revenue through, an admission tax... the City does receive revenue which is essentially through an admission tax which flows through the operator. 6/3/86 -5- 8b.
