Subject:First Lease Amendment for 1014 Florida Avenue, Richmond
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Lease obligates the Trust to pay total rent of $1 per year. By extending the Lease, the
County will receive an additional $25 through the extended term.
BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 2006, the County entered into a 30-year lease with The Rosie The Riveter
Trust for the premises at 1014 Florida Avenue in Richmond. The Trust is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit in support of the Rosie the Riveter / World War II Home Front National Historic
Park.
The purpose of the Lease was to allow the Trust to raise funds to rehabilitate the premises,
including preserving the original exterior of the building, strengthening seismic
inefficiencies, and removing hazardous material in accordance with County, state, and
federal regulations. The Trust, in conjunction with the Richmond Housing Authority, has
been pursuing funding for the rehabilitation of the premises, including the use of Federal
Historic Preservation Tax Credits and New Market Tax Credits. The Trust has requested that
the term of the lease be extended to allow the Trust to qualify for new sources of funding for
the rehabilitation project.
County has retained the right to cancel the Lease if the Trust does not obtain a building
permit by March 31, 2010, has not begun construction of the improvements by March 31,
2011, or has not completed the improvements by March 31, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the First Amendment is not approved, the Rosie The Riveter Trust may not qualify for or
receive sufficient grant funds needed to remodel the premises.
