Ms. Jennings responded <br />that that's been done in the past, but the city <br />has not held tenants to that duration, and isn't <br />likely to now that we have the early lease <br />termination. <br />Ms. King asked if it's the lessee that doesn't <br />want the longer term lease or is it just our <br />procedure or policy? Mr. Inks responded <br />that it is not the Commission that is opposed <br />to the longer term lease. The lessee is <br />nervous about signing a long term lease. <br />Mr. Varner added that in the interest of <br />encouraging something of this nature, the <br />option to renew could be the same three -year <br />period or subsequent three -year period. Mr. <br />Downes agreed that we should use it as an <br />incentive when we can. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by <br />Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved Lease with Girbaud <br />Hines and Sonja Young dba Vesuvio's Pizza <br />for the Wayne Street Garage retail space. <br />(4) Funding for new pavilion at Century <br />Center Island Park. <br />Mr. Relos noted that in an effort to further <br />enhance the beauty and character of the <br />Century Center island, ADG has been <br />studying a variety of permanent pavilion <br />styles that could be erected to not only <br />provide shelter, but to be an artistic <br />compliment to Century Center's architecture <br />and the surrounding community.
