Alexandria City Council will consider extending leases to allow nonprofits and other programs to keep operating at its meeting on Tuesday (May 12).
City Council will consider setting a public hearing for Saturday (May 16) on a new five-year lease agreement with nonprofit Casa Chirilagua at 4109 Mount Vernon Avenue in Arlandria, as well as three-year lease extensions for the Alexandria Boxing Club at Charles Houston Recreation Center (901 Wythe Street) and the Child and Family Network Centers at Leonard “Chick” Armstrong Recreation Center (25 West Reed Avenue).
This will be the third five-year lease extension with Casa Chirilagua. The annual fee will increase by $1,200 for a total of $4,800, adjusted annually by no more than 3% per year throughout the lease term, according to a city memo.
This is the second three-year lease for the Alexandria Boxing Club’s use of the 1,800-square-foot boxing gym at Charles Houston Recreation Center. The city is asking for $7,500 to be paid over the course of the three-year lease.
The Child and Family Network Centers will pay $10,000 annually under their second lease agreement.
City Council will also receive proposals for a new operator of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town (105 N. Union Street) and will direct City Manager Jim Parajon to select a preferred firm for the contract.
