Agenda Item:
Recommendation to Approve Agreement with Sam's Anchor Cafe for
Maintenance of Downtown Restrooms and Contribution to Restroom
Renovation
-0�
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On March 6, 2013, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to execute a Lease
Agreement with Zelinksy Properties for public restrooms at 23 -25 Main Street. The Lease, which
is contingent upon the State of California's agreement to abandon its current leasehold of the
space, anticipates the Town will demolish and reconstruct the restrooms to substantially upgrade
their utility and attractiveness for the public. Historically the restrooms at this location have been
maintained by Sam's Anchor Cafe ( "Sam's ") pursuant to an agreement in which it received
contributions from the Town, the Angel Island Ferry and the Chamber of Commerce for this
work. Monthly maintenance contributions currently total $730.00.
Because the State is no longer willing to support restrooms at this location, the finances for this
amenity have changed substantially. As the new leaseholder, the Town will be liable for lease
payments previously paid by the State, as well as capital improvements for restroom renovation.
The Town is currently negotiating agreements with Blue and Gold Ferry, the Angel Island Ferry
and the Chamber of Commerce for substantial contributions to offset this ongoing lease payment;
these agreements will be brought to the Town Council for approval once completed.
Sam's Anchor Cafe will be a unique beneficiary of these new restrooms given their adjacency to
the restaurant and heavy use by Sam's patrons, who, under this arrangement, will now have
significantly upgraded restrooms available for use. Sam's is also capable of maintaining the
restrooms more readily and inexpensively than the Town or other parties as it already engages
staff for this purpose on its own premises. Consequently, Sam's and the Town have agreed that
Sam's will maintain the restrooms at its expense, including minor repairs such as fixing plumbing
problems, for as long as the Town retains restrooms at this location. The Town will be
responsible for major repairs to the facility should they be required, such as replacing fixtures.
Sam's has also agreed to a modest $5,000 contribution to the capital construction expense; total
capital costs are estimated at this time to be $150,000, although this number cannot be ascertained
until the project is bid out. Sam's will not be required to contribute to the lease payment.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Under the proposal, Sam's Anchor Cafe will assume full responsibility for maintaining the
restrooms in a clean, functional and well supplied manner and make a small ($5,000) capital
contribution to the restroom renovations. The Town will be responsible for the capital
construction of the restrooms and periodic major repairs should they become necessary. The
Town will also be responsible for the lease payment but will have substantial offsetting
contributions, in amounts to be finalized shortly, from several third parties. (Lease costs were
detailed in the March 6, 2013 staff report on this subject.)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
Approve the attached Agreement between the Town and Sam's Anchor Caf6 for the
maintenance of the downtown restrooms at 23 -25 Main Street and authorize the Town
Manager to execute it, making any minor changes if necessary.
