Madella Hilliard Lease Agreement
The attached Lease Agreement, as presented, is under the same terms and conditions as the current Lease Agreement the City has with OWBC fka WBCO for the Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center, which expires on September 30, 2019. The current agreement allows for nine (9) consecutive renewals as long as the City Council approves public funding for the in-kind utilities for the Madella Hilliard facility through the City's annual Strategic Partnerships for Community Services Grant funding program. This proposed renewal is the fourth under the terms of the Lease Agreement.
Also under the terms of the Agreement, OWBC is not required to pay a rental fee for use of the facility and the City of Georgetown also provides maintenance as outlined in the Agreement. The City’s annual budget includes funding for the maintenance in the amount of $9,283.
Utility Assistance for Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center and Mary Bailey Head Start Facility

The funding for the in-kind utility assistance for these city owned facilities is allocated separately in the FY 2019-20 Annual Budget from the SPCS grant funds.
The City Council is being asked to consider renewing the Lease Agreement with OWBC for the use of the Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center facility and to also consider the approval of the in-kind utilities for both the Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center and the Mary Bailey Head Start facility. |
