right to terminate this Lease. Lessee shall, upon substantial completion by Lessor, promptly and
diligently, and at its sole cost and expense, repair and restore any improvements to the Leased
Premises made by Lessee to the condition which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of the

this Lease as of a date specified in such notice,which date shall not be less than thirty(30)nor more
than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given. Subsequent to Lessor's determination to

Premises so damaged or destroyed and under restoration bears to the total square footage of the
Leased Premises,unless the damaging event was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fernando Vazquez, Public Services Director

Patty Varney, Finance Director
Mary McDonald, Human Resources Director/Risk Manager
Leo Williams, Public Services Superintendent
Louise Stilson, City Clerk
Michael O. Bagley, Director, Industrial Development & Real Estate,

FROM: Tom Ansbro, City Attorney
DATE: July 8, 2004
RE: Proposed City-Florida East Coast Railway "Lease of Space for Parallel
Encroachment of Sewer Main"
After very lengthy delays in obtaining certain revisions to the referenced Lease, I have
received two duplicate originals of the document (the originals are being sent to the City Clerk
and a copy is attached for your use). This pertains to a renewal of a long-standing lease
arrangement between the City and the FEC, dating from the 1970's, which gives the City
subsurface rights to use of a portion of the railroad track right-of-way between NW 3rd Street
and NW 3`d Place (for use of a 10 inch sewer main). Leo Williams is familiar with the matter.
In pertinent part, the Lease provides:
1) for a term retroactive to February 7, 2003, which expired February 6, 2004, but
which was automatically renewed this past February for an additional year. For "bookkeeping"
• purposes, the Railway requires the "beginning date" to be retroactive to the date when the
former lease expired;

2) rent is payable at the rate of $1,505.00 per year, and is now payable for both
last year and the current year (evidence of the City's sales tax exemption will have to be
provided to the Railway);
3) if the City ever proposed to do work in the area, evidence of insurance will have
to be furnished to the Railway, as specified in paragraph 9 of the Lease.
The remainder of the Agreement contains standard provisions required by the Railway.
This is now ready for approval by the City Commission (via resolution). By copy of
this memorandum to the City Clerk, I am requesting that this be placed on the next City
Commission meeting agenda (July 27, 2004)
