RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the lease agreement beginning January 1, 2023, and ending December 31, 2023 (Initial Term). The cost of the lease is $1.00 (one dollar) as a fixed amount annually. The Initial Term of this Lease shall be renewed automatically for an additional one (1) year term at the expiration thereof and, subsequently, each renewal term shall be extended for an additional one (1) year term until either party gives written notice to the other at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
BACKGROUND
Staff is unaware of the exact date since historical recordkeeping is unavailable; however, staff believes that the City of San Leandro began using additional space at 3199 Alvarado Street as an attachment to the Corporation Yard in the early 1990s. The use included:
• The storing of private vehicles that were considered evidence in police investigations.
• Short-term holding of stray or found animals.
• Evidence storage in Conex containers.
• Storage of decommissioned police vehicles before their disposition.
Staff learned the current owners of 3199 Alvarado Street would prefer to enter into a lease with the City and allow the City to keep the stored items on-site.
Analysis
The lease agreement will allow the City to utilize the approximate 1.974 acres of land for outdoor storage of private vehicles parked and stored for evidence; short-term holding location for stray/found animals; stored evidence in Conex containers and for storage of decommissioned police vehicles. It is the City’s understanding that this formal action of the City Council is necessary for the Lessor’s purposes as a trust, including but not limited to tax purposes.

The lease term of $1.00 (one dollar) per year will be a fixed amount and paid in advance on the first day of the term and on the first day of each calendar year thereafter on the term.
