ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND /OR DECISION
SUBLEASE AGREEMENT -HOPE MINISTRIES
Mayor Snipes stated that during the January 8, 2004 Council meeting, a committee consisting of the Mayor,
the City Manager and the City Attorney was appointed to consider the options of the old Primary School
Building property currently subleased to Hope Min_stries by the City of Dunn. The lease expired on
February 29, 2004.
Mayor Snipes stated that the information received back from Hope Ministries as it relates to the leased
property has been forwarded to the Council. He added that since that time, another non -profit organization
has submitted a letter of interest in the same property subleased to Hope Ministries.
Mayor Snipes opened the floor for discussion.
Mayor Pro -tem Olds asked Mayor Snipes if the committee came up with a suggested lease amount with
regard to this facility. Mayor Snipes responded that this figure was included in the lease terms given to the
council prior to tonight's meeting. He added that the fair market value of this space is $1250.00 per month.
1046
Mayor Pro -Tern Olds stated that since they know what the City will be asking for the facility, he suggested
the City offer the present occupant an offer to sublease this facility and in the event they cannot come to an
agreement in terms of the amount, then the City could consider another organization. Mayor Pro -tern Olds
stated that he would like to put this in the form of a motion.
Council Member Galbreath stated that the minimum monthly amount of $1250.00 should be lower. He
suggested that it be no more than $1000.00 per month.
Council Member Maness stated that the only true way to determine a fair rental value is by a competitive
bidding process, whereby all interested non -profit organizations would submit a bid. He added that in the
interest of fairness to all non -profit organizations, an option would be to invite bids by advertisement, thus
allowing the market to determine the fair rental value.
Mayor Pro -tern Olds stated that if they were taking bids for a highway contract, he would agree with Mr.
. / Maness, but this is an entirely different situation. He added that they already have occupants in this
facility. He further stated that they are trying to come up with a fair market price for whoever leases the
facility. He stated that a lot of things determine this decision and not just dollars and cents. He added that
this decision is not about making money for the City of Dunn, but about providing a facility for the citizens
of Dunn. He further stated that they should consider what is already in place.
Mr. Olds stated that he looks at the human side of this. He added that this decision would affect the present
occupant, Hope Ministries, and it could result in the children and employees having to move. He further
stated that he is favor of giving the present occupants an offer to bid and if they are not willing to accept the
City's terms, then the City can offer the facility to another interested party.
Motion by Mayor Pro -tem Olds to give the present occupants an opportunity to lease the facility. Motion
died for lack of second
Council Member Galbreath stated that the current tenant has also expressed an interest in additional space.
He asked Mayor Snipes if this additional space has been incorporated in the figure they have. Mayor
Snipes responded no, but added that this is something that could be negotiated further if an agreement is
made with regard to the present space being used.
Council Member Godwin stated that to be fair, the City should offer this facility to other interested parties,
thus allowing any non -profit an opportunity to bid on it. He added that he passed around to the council, a
list entitled "Recommended Minimal Lease Terms to be Included in an Invitation for Bids" which lists
seventeen items that should be minimum terms that the City will accept for any lease. He further stated
that basically these terms include things you would find in most commercial leases such as a security
deposit, utility deposit, expiration date, etc. He stated that he would like to see the City advertise these
minimal terms and give others an opportunity to bid on it and bring these bids back to the Council in April
for decision.
Mayor Pro -tem Olds stated that he would agree with Mr. Godwin if this was a vacant building. He added
that is not the case in this situation; they have a current occupant running a business. He further stated that
it bothers him to displace people and it would be plain human decency to offer the present occupants an
opportunity to accept an offer to them. He stated that he is looking at the humanitarian thing to do that is
right for the people.
Council Member Godwin stated that he would agree with Mr. Old's analogy of a vacant building, but this
situation is different in that this is not a private setting. He added that this involves the citizen's property
with terms of this lease and they must look at it from that standpoint.
Council Member Maness stated that he understood Mr. Old's concern, but this is public property. He
added that the Council had an obligation to allow all qualifying and interested non - profits the same
opportunity as Hope Ministries had. He further stated that he does not think that displacing people will be
an issue, because the other interested non -profit intends to use the facility for the same purpose.
Mayor Pro -tern Olds stated that there is no guarantee that the other interested non -profit organization will
have the same people.
Council Member Maness stated that in the interest of fairness to all concerned parties, he would agree with
Mr. Godwin that an invitation to bid be given to allow others equal access to a public facility.
Council Member Galbreath stated that it has been known for over two months that this lease would be
expiring, and if there were other non -profit organizations interested in this facility, they would have made it
known by now. He added that they have only received one other interested non - profit, namely Saint John's
Missionary Baptist Church in Dunn. He suggested they offer the other vacant building on the premises to
St. John, if they are willing to make renovations just as Hope Ministries did, thus allowing two daycares on
the same property.
Mayor Snipes commented that the City, which has the lease on this property from Harnett County, is in dire
need of additional space. He added that if this facility was vacant, there are two City groups that could use
the space. He further stated that the City has not pressed this issue, because it is not in the best interest of
other interested parties.
Mayor Pro -tern Olds stated that he is a people person and he is not interested in making money for the City
of Dunn. He added that he is here to serve the citizens. He further stated that he has been to the Hope
Ministries facility more than once and he has seen what is going on and encouraged the council to take a
1047
look at the facility. He stated that Hope Ministries is not a fly -by -night operation and this business deals
with people's lives. He added that out of courtesy, the City should first make an offer to Hope.
Motion by Council Member Maness to table this issue until the next Council meeting. Motion: died for lack
of second.
Motion by Council Member Galbreath to negotiate with the two parties that have expressed an interest in
the facility by inviting proposals from each. Motion died for lack of second.
Motion by Council Member Godwin, seconded by Council Member Maness that the Council direct the City
Manager to publicly advertise the recommended Minimal Lease Terms in the form ofan invitation for bids
and to present the bids received to the Council at the April meeting for decision.
Mayor Snipes asked if there was further discussion.
Council Member Joey Tart stated that even though it has been said that this is not about money, it is hard to
say that this doesn't have some relevance to money He added that to be fair, they need to give everybody
an opportunity. He further stated that this is public property and they have an obligation to all citizens to
do what is best for the entire City.
Mayor Pro -tem Olds stated that he agreed with Council Member Joey Tart that this is a matter of money.
He added that the present occupants, Hope Ministri,s, invested a lot of money to improve this facility and
the City paid nothing.
In response to Council Member Galbreath's statement that no other interested non -profit organizations have
shown an interest in this facility, Council Member Maness stated that there were no other parties aware that
publicly, the city would be entertaining any other use of the facility. He added that it is unfair to categorize
that no other parties may be interested when they were not formally made aware that the City would
entertain any other interests. He further stated that here may be more than two organizations interested in
the facility.
Council Member Maness stated that he was ready to call for the question and vote.
Mayor Snipes stated that for clarification purposes, he asked that Council Member Godwin restate his
motion and then they will call far the vote.
Motion by Council Member Godwin, seconded by Council Member Maness to direct the City Manager to
publicly advertise "The Recommended Minimal Lease Terms ", which is a seventeen point document, in the
form ofan invitation for bids and to present those bids back to the Council at the April meeting for decision
with regard to this facility.
City Attorney Pope asked Mr. Godwin if the intent of his motion is to advertise that invitation for bids will
be received with respect to this facility and that any interested party can pick up a copy of these seventeen
points in preparing their invitation for bid or if it is the intent that these seventeen points be the actual ad
used in the newspaper? Council Member Godwin stated that ideally, these points could be published in the
paper but that is not part of the motion.
Motion by Mayor Pro -tem Olds to lay this item of business on the table. He stated that this motion takes
precedence over any other motion and is the same as a motion to adjourn.
Council Member Maness stated that he made a call for the question prior to the motion made by Mr. Olds.
City Attorney Pope stated that the Council will have to address the motion to table first, but if not seconded
in about two seconds, it will die for lack of a second.
Council Member Joey Tart seconded Mr. Olds motion. Motion carried to table 3 -2.

ADOPT RULES OF PROCEDURE
Mayor Snipes yielded to City Attorney Pope for comments concerning this issue.
Mr. Pope stated that the council received a copy of "Suggested Rules of Procedure for a City Council"
which was drafted and prepared by Fleming Bell, who works for the Institute of Government. He stated
that the Council currently operates under "Robert's Rules of Order", adding that the latest edition is
approximately 978 pages. He further explained that some of Robert's Rules are not practical for the
business which transacts before this council.
Mr. Pope stated that Mr. Bell sought to simplify things by putting rules of procedure in a manner in which
everybody could understand them. He added that in reviewing Mr. Bell's rules, there were some very good
things in his book of procedures, but there were also some things that the council would not be inclined to
adopt. He further stated that he had concerns with several rules contained within Mr. Bell's book, adding
that it would take time to go through each rule of concern.
Mr. Pope suggested that if the council is inclined to move away from Robert's Rules of Order, a committee
be formed that can go through Mr. Bell's suggested rules in detail, make some decisions subject to council
approval and report back to the council before adopting Mr. Bell's procedures.
Mr. Pope stated that the council's choices were: 1) Remain with Robert's Rules of Order, 2) Go through the
areas he has flagged in Mr. Bell's rules, vote on them individually and then vote on the rules collectively or
3) To form a committee to look at this situation further and come back to the council with their
recommendations.
Further discussion was held with regard to using Robert's Rules of Order or Mr. Bell's "Suggested Rules of
Procedure ". Mr. Pope did suggest that the Council look at adopting a simplified set of rules.
With concurrence of the Council, Mayor Snipes formed a committee consisting of the City Attorney, City
Clerk and Mayor Pro -tern Olds to research this issue and report back to the Council.
