SUBJECT: Lease with Boys' and Girls' Club of Greater San Diego, Inc.
In December, 2008, shortly after the Boys' and Girls' Club of National City ("BGCNC") merged
with the Boys' and Girls' Club of Greater San Diego, Inc. ("BGCGSD"), the City entered into a
month -to -month lease of its land and building at 1430 D Avenue (the "Leased Premises") with
BGCGSD. In entering into the month -to -month lease, it was the understanding of the parties that
a long-term lease would eventually be entered into.
At the December 7, 2010 City Council meeting, after some discussion the Council approved,
pursuant to Resolution No. 2010-273, a version of the Lease with a provision giving the City the
right to terminate the Lease if the Leased Premises were needed for a municipal purpose. The
City was subsequently informed by the attorney for BGCGSD that BGCGSD could not accept
the Lease with such a provision, because it caused the term of the Lease to be too uncertain,
especially for purposes of BGCGSD receiving public and private funding. However, BGCGSD
would be willing to.accept langu ge_gerinitting early termination by the City upon one year's,
notice in the event the Leased Premises must be reclaimed for public use due to the requirements
of a governmental agency, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and further, stating if the
Lease is terminated pursuant to this language, the City will provide, to the extent it deems it is
able, non -financial relocation assistance to BGCBSD. This proposed language has been
incorporated into the Lease.
In addition to the early termination provision, the Lease contains the following main points:
• The term of the Lease is 20 years.
• Rent is $1.00 per year.
• Use of the Leased Premises is for a Boys' and Girls' Club only.
• A provision for performance standards is included, which requires the Lessee to
adhere to the Requirements for Membership as a Member Organization of the Boys
and Girls Club of America.
• Any assignment or subletting of the Lease requires the prior written consent of the
City of'National City.

• The Lessee is responsible for routine maintenance and payment of utilities.

alterations costing over $5,000.
• Typical insurance and indemnification requirements are included.
