MIRANDO CITY COMMUNITY CENTER CONTRACT
Submitted for:	Anna Laura Cavazos-Ramirez	Submitted By:	Anna Laura Cavazos-Ramirez
Department:	Commissioner Precinct 1

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to request the County Attorney's Office review and revise the contract for rental of the Mirando City Community Center to include reconsideration of rental amount, deposit amount, security officer requirements, and any other terms the Commissioners Court or legal counsel may suggest.

Issue: The rental contract for the Mirando City Community Center has not been revised or reviewed in probably over 20 years.

Solution: The contract for rental of this center should be reviewed and revised with a consideration of new terms including, but not limited to, rental amount, deposit amount and provisions for providing of security services in those situations where those services may be required.

Result: A new and revised rental contract for this center should be instituted to meet the current needs of the county, the center and the community of users.

Background:

The contract utilized for rental of the Mirando City Community Center has not been revised in probably over 20 years. Center staff have suggested an increase in the deposit amount, rental amount and a change in requirements for the provision of security services when the center holds events when either alcohol will be served or for evening events. Center staff indicates that in the past tenants were allowed to bring in their own security when the contract required such but various incidents resulted in unlicensed individuals or individuals not authorized by state law to provide these services being hired as security. This center remains the only location available to residents in the quad city area for their events and therefore gets a lot of usage for community events.

Previous Court Action:

This contract has not been revised by the Commissioners Court in probably over 20 years.
