body
WHEREAS, Ordinance 122269, passed on October 9, 2006, authorized a ten-year lease with two additional five-year extensions with Seattle Children’s PlayGarden (SCPG) for use of a portion of the Colman Playfield, and required SCPG to renovate the shelter house (“Shelter House”) and construct a new recreational facility (“Garden House”) on site to provide children of all abilities a safe, accessible, and adventurous place to play; and
WHEREAS, SCPG completed the Shelter House and Garden House and is now proposing a project to renovate the playground and has raised the funds needed; and
WHEREAS, SCPG has successfully raised 100 percent of the $420,172 project budget, however $305,550 of that funding is in jeopardy if SCPG is unable to show, via a lease agreement, that the organization has control of the site through 2030; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, after the original term of the lease expired, SCPG exercised its option to implement the first of the two five-year lease extensions; and
