Summary
As part of the General Plan the City's goal is to develop a cultural arts program to
encourage and facilitate the development of art in public spaces and promote greater
public awareness of architectural, urban design, and cultural heritage of the City. ARTS
has been a catalyst in establishing an Arts, Culture, and Education district in the
downtown area. ARTS is dedicated to creating a movement behind the importance of
the arts as a prevention and intervention vehicle to create positive transformation in
children and youth facing adversity. They have become a part of the fabric of society in
National City and continue to be a motivated, flexible and positive partner to work with.
ARTS hopes to renew their lease with the City so they may continue to offer arts,
culture and education to National City youth.
Significant Changes in Lease
• Expansion of the premises to include access to the basement and the south
parking lot. The basement would be used for storage. The south parking lot is the
space behind the building that is currently being used to store items and is used
as a work area or extension of their prop shop. This does not impact current
parking at the premises and ARTS plans to activate the space and provide
additional programming for National City residents.
• The term of the Lease will be for a period of 5 years with the option to extend the
term for an additional two 5 year terms upon mutual agreement.
• ARTS agrees to increase the amount in capital projects provided annually within
the City from $30,000 to $75,000 for each year of the lease.
• The City and ARTS will continue to create an Arts, Culture and Education
(ARTSCE) district and establish a public art program; ARTS agrees to enter into
a mutually agreeable agreement for the management of public art funds if a
percentage for art fee is approved.
• The City is willing to undertake improvements so that all building/safety codes
are met in the basement and on the west side of the building. This includes
installing additional electric power and life safety systems such as fire sirens,
strobes and pull stations. The City is also willing to improve the floors in the
visual arts and music rooms to provide ADA compliance. However, the City's
ability to undertake such improvements is dependent upon the annually approved
budget as well as the annually approved capital improvement program. Upon
completion of these improvements ARTS would be able to utilize the basement
for storage and the west side of the building as an additional classroom so they
can expanding programming offered to National City residents.
• The City agrees to donate to ARTS, consistent with the City's Municipal Code,
one or more city vehicles deemed as surplus to support ARTS public art and
education programs. ARTS would be responsible for all expenses, including
regular maintenance on the vehicles. Additional vehicles for ARTS would greatly
improve their ability to efficiently complete public art projects in National City. For
example, a truck would allow them to haul material to offsite projects.
• ARTS agrees that upon completion of public art projects, the physical work of art
will be transferred to the City and ARTS waives and releases all rights of
ownership to the work of art.
