Section 9.2; Our lease requires assurance or a <br />guaranty to be posted that routine maintenance issues will be <br />addressed by the Lessee. Routine maintenance includes such <br />things as stopped up-.pipes or toilets, leaky faucets, <br />changing out light bulbs, etc. The County provides this <br />service through its Public Works Department. The Friends <br />might be required to post guaranty in some manner. <br />If the County does not pursue lease assignment to the <br />Friends, the need exists to have some type of agreement <br />between the Friends and the County which parallels our <br />obligations to the Landlord. <br />For example, contractually we have promised the Landlord that <br />the leased premises will be used "solely for the purposes of <br />conducting business as a senior citizen's activity and <br />meeting center and /or other functions approved by the <br />Landlord" (lease section 4.2). We do not, however, have a <br />mechanism to ensure that the information necessary to fulfill <br />this obligation is passed from the Friends to the County. <br />Since the Landlord must provide written permission prior to <br />the execution of any subleases (Article XIII), it is very <br />important that this line of communication be in place. <br />While these are only examples, many of the questions raised <br />recently could be clarified through a written agreement, <br />thereby enhancing the working relationship between the County <br />and the Friends of the Chapel Hill Senior Center. <br />Chapel Hill Senior Center <br />Page 3 <br />
