Subject: Item 16A for Tuesday’s meeting.Very Imperfect Language
EXTERNAL
Ladies and Gentlemen. The last part of the descripƟon of 16A Tuesday clearly implies that a prospecƟve tenant, will pay no rent , if successful, under its long term lease. If that was not intended, the language in 16A about the City having no financial obligaƟons should be amended to say that the proposed rent and other major business terms should be included in the bids, and also the tenant would pay 100% of the costs of all changes to the building. If the intenƟon is to have a net, net lease, that should be stated, too.
If Council thinks no minimum or percentage rent should be paid, that provision, at this Ɵme, would be an enormous mistake. There must first be a complete appraisal of the property, including possible uses, to evaluate the rental value and other economic terms. The appraisal will be useful in the requests for interested proposals.f This first step of instrucƟng David what Council wants, and the professionalism expected by the public, is obviously of great importance, and should be draŌed aŌer adequate discussion , expert real estate input, and public input. An item at the next Council meeƟng aŌer Tuesday, or aŌer receipt of such appraisal, might make much sense.

Subject: December 12, 2023 City Council Meeting - Item 16.A. - Public Notice re the Civic Auditorium -
SUPPORT
EXTERNAL
SUPPORT
Dear Mayor Davis, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, Mr. White, & Esteemed Councilmembers:
I write in support of Agenda Item 16.A. - issuance of a public notice to solicit letters of interest for revitalization of the Civic Auditorium.
It will be great to see if a proposal from the "suitor" identified by the Save the Civic group has legs.
The prospect, potentially, of fully reviving our Civic Center at last, juicing our civic life, and bringing an economic boost to our local economy too ...hopefully all in time for the 2028 LA Olympics...truly is an exciting one and a long time in coming.
Many thanks to our outgoing Mayor Davis, Mayor Pro Tem Negrete, Mr. White, and anyone else involved here for pushing this significant matter forward as a 16. Item this week.
Sincerely,
Ann Bowman
Resident, 27+ years
City Clerk – Please include this letter in the Public Record for Agenda Item 16.A., City Council meeting of December 12, 2023.
