BACKGROUND: The City of Kitchener has been providing parking spaces for the needs of staff at the Bramm Street Operations Yard for many years through a leasing arrangement with the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Transfiguration located at 15 Michael Street. The Bramm Street Operations Yard has approximately 160 employees reporting for work on a daily basis. The yard itself has limited parking for staff and visitors only. As the current lease with the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Transfiguration has expired (December 31 , 2006), Council needs to review and consider approving a new lease. REPORT: The current lease terms allow for parking for employees in the Church parking lot as needed. The City is responsible for snowplowing of the parking lot at its expense, but at the City's convenience. The City is responsible for dust control of the granular portion of the parking lot. The Church agrees to provide parking space when needed to City Staff, and to provide lighting for the premises. Report No: CSD-07-022 2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This lease has been renegotiated with an increase for inflation per year for a 2 year term ending December 31 , 2008. The current lease arrangement includes provisions for payment in the order of $5160 per year. The proposed lease arrangement increases this amount to $5352 per year. These funds will continue to be found in Operations' operating budget. CONCLUSION: The need for additional parking will remain as long as we have such a complement of staff working out of the Bramm Street Operations Yard. The proposed 2 year lease term will give the City the parking we presently need for our staff. Any parking needs required beyond December 31 , 2008 will be assessed over the term of the proposed lease. Ken Currier Director of Operations AP
