§ 37-18. Lease and license related matters.

(a)

The director may process requests and may establish forms and procedures to carry out this section.

(b)

Leases and license agreements must be approved by city council, but nothing in this chapter impairs a delegation of authority outside this chapter. Lease amendments, renewals and extensions must be approved by city council unless the approved lease authorizes otherwise per its terms.

(c)

If a lease is approved by city council, the lease and all lease-related documents may be signed by:

(1)

The director of a department that is a tenant under the lease; or

(2)

The director of the department employing the personnel responsible for lease negotiations.

(d)

If budgeted funds are available, a department director may, without further council action, enter into leases, licenses, and similar agreements in which city is tenant or licensee for so long as the agreement is for a temporary use not to exceed a week and the temporary use relates to the mission of the director's department. This does not authorize renewals for succeeding weeks or combining serial, one-week uses for the same premises so that city has a term longer than one week. The agreements for temporary use must be approved as to form by the city attorney's office.
