SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Central Idaho Historic Museum is currently leasing the historic Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA) grounds that were deeded to the City of McCall by the State of
Idaho. When this property was deeded to the City of McCall it was under the condition that it maintain the historic character and an educational and interpretive component as outlined
in the deed restrictions.
The Central Idaho Historic Museum has maintained the City’s obligation to meet the deed requirements since 1993 through the operation of the museum on that property. As outlined in the
lease the museum is responsible for the up-keep and maintenance cost of these buildings for a nominal lease rate amount of $10.00 a year.
The Parks Department has worked closely with the Museum Board over the past five years to assess the conditions and maintenance needs of the historic buildings on the site. It has become
apparent that the cost to keep up on maintenance of this site is slowly exceeding the resources available to a non-profit organization such as the Central Idaho Historic Museum.
Staff are proposing a one year extension with minor changes to the recently expired term of the current lease. This will give the Museum Board time to work with the Parks Department
to determine what is best for the future of this site while still fulfilling the City’s requirements outlined in the deed from the State of Idaho.
Minor Revisions to existing lease include:
Shared maintenance cost of existing buildings and grounds that are jointly used between the museum and the parks department now that the parks shop is located on site.
Further assistance with utility water billing now that the parks department is located on site and utilizing facilities for programing and public use.
The lease document has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the One-Year Lease Extension for the Central Idaho Historic Museum and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents
