Good evening.

Welcome to the Tuesday, February 10th meeting of the Stanford Planning Board.

And first on our agenda this evening is the planning board minutes from February 3rd.

Do you members of the board have any questions within at the minutes?

Okay, I think I confused uh Lisney because I didn't see this capital budget being limited, but now I see in this lesson that uh the 29.9 million is mini-based, and we'll get it done.

Um other questions or clarifications.

Uh seeing none, um do we have a motion on the minutes?

All right, moved by Robbie, second from Jeremy, all in favor to raise your hand.

And it passes unanimously.

Thank you.

Uh Lindsay, actually, while we're on the topic of the capital budget, kind of briefly.

Um, when is the uh transmit a letter to the mayor due?

Good question.

Um I can do some uh digging.

I don't know the date off the top of my head, but I can dig around and let you know.

Okay, thank you.

I my vague recollection is it's sometime in February.

But um and uh for the members of the board, this does not alter the motion from last week, but I did want to note that um I had some discussions with chat and we found some items where um it could make sense to uh bump the tier of the project up one or down one.

Uh but it doesn't change the over it doesn't change any of the amount or um uh or the yeah, the overall amount that we are submitting.

Um so again, we'll send that around uh uh when we have the draft transmit a letter, um, as well as um point out any tier tweaks.

Uh next on our agenda, we have uh request for authorization, proposed lease agreement between the city of Stanford and tenants of the Lathan Wider Community Center.

Uh this proposed form lease is to be used with the city's tenants at the Lathan Wider Community Center.

The city plans to lease space in the Lathen Wider Community Center at 34 Woodland Avenue in Stanford to multiple tenants.

Uh section 9-7 C2 of the city's code of ordinances allows the use of a form lease for each tenant if such form lease is pre-approved by the city's planning board, board of finance, and board of representatives.

Should those boards approve this form lease, any lease subsequently executed will not require further board approvals, but a copy must be forwarded to the Board of Finance for its information within 30 days of execution.

Um this Lindsay, how much of this should be made into the record.

I think you're um you can stop there.

It's been noticed in the agenda, um, all of those details.

And yeah.

Um and I I do want to note for the record, I don't think this is a conflict because we are looking at the form, not any specific lease, but uh the organization that I am employed by may be one of the organizations that has one of those nonprofit leases with the city.

Um again, we're not reviewing a lease with any given organization.

We're viewing the terms of the form that will be used.

All right.

Uh so our presenter on this items uh good evening, everyone.

It's Bridget Fox from the mayor's office.

I'm joined by Chris Delasalva from our legal department, and I'm here to just share an overview quickly and then I'll turn it over to Chris for any questions and explanation.

The lathe wider community center had to close in January of 2025 due to a water main break.

And the building was closed for many months as the city facilities department remediated the issues and took look took the time to actually make some real um cosmetic improvements in the building.

And so we are now reopening the building with the tenants that you um have listed joining as sub-tenants in the building, and it will be nonprofit organizations representing um really a lot of youth serving organizations from across the city.

But with that, I'll turn it over to Chris and I'm here to answer any questions.

Good evening, everyone.

This is Christella Selva.

I'm assistant court counsel for the city.

Those are the you know the legal terms, so to speak, and uh and I don't think I can add anything more uh than that, but you know, certainly I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

I suspect there may be some.

Yeah, so how many um how many um sorry can I go ahead?

Can I go ahead, Jennifer?

Yes, please.

So how many tenants would be there at any point in time?

Yeah, that'll be okay.

Um I can take that one.

I think we're close to eight.

I mean, some have yet to be determined, but that's the number we're at at the moment for who we're in conversations with and previously before this water main break.

How many tenants were there in the building?

This will be more tenants than had been previously in the building, and it has something to do with um we've had some movement of some organizations that had taken a lot more space than they are departing.

So one example is Pacific House, it's the um homeless services agency, and they will be relocating to a different location with their administrative offices.

So previously they did have a good amount of square footage in the building, and they will no longer have that amount of square footage.

Okay.

No, I I mean the what I'm just uh wondering the is there any liability because we don't know who the tenants are and who the future tenants will be, and we're you know, we're approving this so-called form lease.

Uh so what is the risk of any kind of any uh the city might face let's say I'm just making it up.
