DISCUSSION
On October 3, 1995, the City Council authorized Historical Site Lease No. 24291 (Lease) with the Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation (Foundation) to manage, operate, and interpret the City’s historical site known as Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens (Rancho). As stated in the Lease, the Foundation is responsible for enhancing the educational value of the site through public and community activities, assemblies, and visits. Maintenance responsibilities of the Foundation include: maintenance of gardens, residential and agricultural structures, interiors and furnishings, fixtures, utilities, carpeting, and equipment.
In consideration of the Foundation’s agreement to manage the educational, historical, and community service aspects of the Rancho, the City of Long Beach (City) pays the Foundation an annual management fee. The management fee is budgeted in the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department, and is approved by the City Council upon its adoption of the City’s budget each fiscal year. The management fee for 2018-2019 is $470,000, which is unchanged from the 2017-2018 management fee. A Lease amendment is required to memorialize the proposed management fee for this Lease year.
