Schlueter <br />City Hall <br />Santa Ana, California <br /> <br />CITY 0~ SflOTfl flflfl <br />CALIFORNIA <br />August 1, 1961 <br />P~¢as¢ address relies to: <br />308 City Hall <br />Re: Request for Long germ Lease of City Property <br />Between Alona Street and the Santa Ana River <br />South of Santiago Creek <br />Gentlemen: <br />I have been asked to answer a number of questions submitted <br />to me regarding the request for the lease of this land. <br />1. It is my understanding that no description is supplied <br />because of uncertainty as to just what area will be included. It <br />is proposed to renegotiate the Isaac Walton lease to reduce their <br />area. While Public Works could prepare a reasonably accurate <br />description of the land the City owns, it has been stated by <br />Mr. James that he proposed to have a survey to stake the boundaries <br />before the description was prepared. Of course, you could not enter <br />into a firm lease until you have determined the exact boundaries. <br />2. Paragraph No. 2 in the Lease provides for a 35 year period. <br />This is simply a request to you. General Law cities have a right to <br />lease property under Government Code Section 373~O;insofar as there <br />is no conflict with the charterR Santa Ana has the same power under <br />Charter Section 200. <br /> <br />3. Paragraph No. 3 provides for rent as a percentage of gross <br />income on a sliding scale after the first year of operation. I have <br />no basis for judgment on these percentage items; however, I am informed <br />that the National Ins~L-itute of Real Estate Brokers of the National <br />Association of Real Estate Boards publishes a proposed list of stand- <br />ards for percentage leases. I might be able to obtain for your benefit <br />a late copy, and I have started inquiry to locate one. <br />To your second question as to why "foods and merchandise" <br />was excluded from gross business, I have no information. "All sales <br />and services, excluding foods and merchandise" are to be included. <br />What sales this phrase would include, I do not know. I can think of <br />nothing except soft drinks, if they were not considered food. <br />
