INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES AGENDA ITEM Date : August 12, 2008 To : Honorable Board of County Commissioners Through : Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator From , Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director Subject : Transfer of Lease and Concession Agreement with Capcan, Inc. (Cannon ' s County Caf6) BACKGROUND : On July 24, 2007 , the Board of County Commissioners approved a lease and concession Agreement between the County and Capcan, Inc. , for the purposes of providing food services within the new County Administration building. That agreement provided that the County would provide the space and utilities, and the Tenant would provide its own equipment. The Tenant pays an initial monthly rent payment of $400 . 00 subject annual adjustment as prescribed within the agreement. On July 31 , 2008 , Pat Cannon, President of Capcan, Inc. , presented a letter requesting the transfer of the current lease and concession agreement to Ms. Betty Nobles who desires to assume the current lease. General services sent a letter to both Pat and Chuck Cannon dated August 1 , 2008 which advised as how to proceed with the request for transfer. Any transfer, pursuant to Section 5 .4 of Article 5 requires approval of the Board of County Commissioners at a formal board meeting. Attached are the requested submittals which includes a letter from Ms . Betty Nobles dated August 6, 2008 , a menu, a personal financial statement, and a another letter from Cannon ' s wherein they indicate that they have know Ms . Nobles since 1984, and they indicate her various duties over the years working for C .J. Cannon ' s . As noted on the proposed menu and the letter submitted by Ms. Nobles, she would like to change the name of the business to Rosemary ' s Caf6. Based on the recommendation from C .J. Cannon' s , it appears that Ms Nobles has the experience necessary to operate the cafe, and a transfer would not cause any disruption to the food service currently being provided within the complex. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board approve the requested lease assumption subject to compliance with all the current requirements of the lease including the annual adjustment to the rent and subject to the County Attorney approval the Lease Assumption Agreement. Authorize the County Administrator to sign the lease assumption agreement between the County and Ms. Nobles. Further that the current lease holder (Capcan, Inc.) will continue its operation pending the appropriate approval or transfer of any local, State or Health permits or licenses that are required to be obtained by Ms. Nobles.
