Summary:
This action provides for an Agreement between the County and Creative Pinellas for leased space in the administration building at the former Gulfcoast Museum of Art campus. Creative Pinellas requires more space than is currently available at the Convention and Visitors Bureau location.
Background/Explanation:
Under F.S. 125.38, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is permitted, by resolution, to non-competitively lease or sell real or personal property to a qualified not-for-profit organization that promotes community interest and welfare.
Creative Pinellas is a non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate a vibrant, integrated, collaborative and sustainable Pinellas County Arts Community. Creative Pinellas is the Board of County Commissioners’ designated local arts agency.
The lease premises consist of 5,500 square feet of office space. Creative Pinellas is leasing the space in “as-is” condition. Creative Pinellas may sub-let to other community partner arts organizations. Any sub-let rent revenue collected by Creative Pinellas will be paid to the County and deposited in the General Fund.
The term of the lease is one (1) year.
Fiscal Impact:
County is responsible for utility, contracted services and telecommunications services costs. These costs will be funded by the Real Estate Management operating budget.
Sub-let rent revenue will be returned to the General Fund.
