SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize a lease agreement with the Yuma Private Industry Council (YPIC) for use of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Neighborhood Center. (Community Development/ Neighborhood Services) (Cynthia Blot)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Renewal of the Lease Agreement for the MLK Center will allow the Yuma Private Industry Council to continue assisting youths ages 14 to 26 to improve their education, job readiness and economic status, in support of City Council’s strategic outcome of a Safe and Prosperous community.
REPORT:
Since June 18, 2013, the City of Yuma has leased the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Neighborhood Center (MLK Center) located at 300 South 13th Avenue to the Yuma Private Industry Council (YPIC). YPIC operates a Youth Career Center in the building, offering youths ages 14 to 26 a “one-stop career center.” YPIC provides services necessary to help the participants improve their job-readiness and economic status thereby becoming self-sufficient.
The MLK Center was developed, in part, with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, to meet objectives of the CDBG program. The services that are provided by YPIC and other tenants are eligible activities and meet a CDBG objective. During Fiscal Year 2024-25, YPIC served 3,578 clients, 760 of whom enrolled in a program.
The current lease expires June 30, 2026, and YPIC wishes to continue to lease the building, offering its services to the community. Under the terms of the lease, YPIC is responsible for all operating and maintenance costs associated with the city-owned facility.
Staff recommends City Council authorize a lease with YPIC for operation of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Neighborhood Center for a term of one (1) year commencing on September 1, 2026, renewable for two additional, one-year terms with the concurrence of the City. The Lease includes a clause in Attachment A encouraging YPIC “to rent the MLK Center multi-purpose room as frequently as possible.” YPIC “shall develop rental guidelines and a fee schedule appropriate for the space” which the City shall review and approve.
