RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Rainbow Store No. 186 (McDonald Shopping Center) - Request for Month-to-Month Tenancy - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board consider whether to approve a request made by Rainbow Store No. 186, located in the McDonald Shopping Center, that they be allowed to enter into month-to-month tenancy with the County upon the expiration of their written Lease, which expires September 30, 2017.

BACKGROUND:

Rainbow Store No. 186 is 1 of 7 remaining tenants located in the McDonald Shopping Center. They occupy the space located at 1821 W. Fairfield Drive, which is adjacent to Family Dollar. This space is located in the main building and is not part of the Phase 1 demolition at the McDonald Shopping Center site. Rainbow currently leases the space for $4,031.25 monthly.

The County assumed a written lease agreement between Rainbow and Mr. Glenn McDonald upon the purchase of the McDonald Shopping Center. This agreement is set to expire on September 30, 2017. County staff sent Rainbow a "Notice of Non-Renewal of Lease" on June 30, 2017, via Certified Mail/Return Receipt Requested, which was verified by the United States Postal Service to have been delivered on July 13, 2017.

Rainbow has made a request (attached) to enter into a month-to-month tenancy with Escambia County upon the expiration of their lease until such time the County deems that they can no longer stay.

This matter is coming before this Board to determine whether or not to approve this request so that staff can inform Rainbow whether they need to vacate the premises by September 30, 2017, as stated in the Notice of Non-Renewal of Lease.

Rainbow's monthly rent is $4,031.25. Rent is due on the 1st of the month and is considered delinquent after the 10th of the month.
