� A(z) Staff Report to Redevelopment Commission Authorization for Installation of Orchestra Pit Lift at Morris Performing Arts Center Prepared 7/20/12 The Redevelopment Commission is being asked to allow the installation of an orchestra pit lift at the Morris Park Performing Arts Center. The Redevelopment Commission has the authority to authorize these alterations in accordance with the terms of a lease for the property between the Redevelopment Commission (Lessee) and the Redevelopment Authority (Owner) entered into May 1, 1997. Section 8 of that lease follows in its entirety. Section 8. Alterations: Lessee shall have the right, without the consent of the Authority, to make all alterations, modifications and additions and to do all improvements it deems necessary or desirable to the Project, which do not reduce the rental value of the Project. The attached letter, from the Morris Park Performing Arts Center and Morris Entertainment, Inc., states this project is fully funded in the amount of $210,000 by private funds, including matching funds from the Community Foundation. Additionally, the letter indicates the City's Board of Public Works will serve as the contracting agent and the City Engineering Department will oversee the project. Since there are sufficient funds to complete the project and since the City will oversee contracting and construction, these alterations to the Morris will not reduce the rental value of the Project. Accordingly, staff recommends Redevelopment Commission approval.
