11AR 24,1992, 6. The Coalition has requested that the other tenants have an opportunity to cure any default in payment of rent by the Coalition. This is provided for in paragraphs 8c and 12 of the lease. Should the Board decide to approve the lease in its present form, a resolution as attached must be passed pursuant to Florida Statute 125.38. Deputy County Attorney Will Collins further explained that the Coalition for the Homeless of Indian River, County, Inc., would be the Lessee and propose to have subtenants within the building, but we would look directly to the Coalition for rental payments and they would be responsible to collect from subtenants. Chairman Eggert drew the Board's attention to Paragraph 13.d., and suggested the last sentence should be changed to read, "The premises shall not be utilized for purposes of showering, locker facilities, meals or overnight stays by those people of Indian River County who are the clientele of lessee or sublessees, with the exception of coffee and doughnuts, when and if people visit the offices to avail themselves of any services which are available on premises.,, Commissioner Bowman was concerned about the condition of the roof and was not sure patching would do the job. County Administrator Jim Chandler agreed the roof was a major concern because a leaking roof could cause damage to the interior of the building. He advised that the superintendent of Buildings and Grounds inspected the roof and conferred with a representative of Lucas Roofing, and they believe the roof can be repaired and would last for the duration of the lease. Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that at the end of this lease the County may try to dispose of this asset and he would hate to invest $18,000 in a new roof and then see someone buy the property and demolish the building. He was in favor of delaying replacement of the roof as long as we have assurances that the repair will last for three years Henry Muller, Director of the Coalition, confirmed that the roof has one area that needs to be patched, and the roofer will patch it and maintain it for the Coalition for three years without charge. He assured the Board there will be no damage to the building as a result of any leaks. Commissioner Bird led discussion regarding responsibility for maintenance and repairs, and Mr. Muller confirmed that excepting major structural items, all normal repairs and maintenance will be borne by the Coalition. Attorney Collins further explained that in differentiating between major and minor repairs, the distinction is that any items that are necessary for the structural integrity of the building would be the County's responsibility but any minor maintenance, 16
