Developmental disabilities include intellectual disability, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and similar disorders. The purpose of the organization is to provide supports and services to individuals and families that will allow them to be independent and productive citizens. Friendship Community Care, Inc. began operations in 1972 by providing day care services to preschool and school age children. During that first year, two staff members served twelve children. From this beginning, the necessity for additional services has driven the growth of the organization. Today, Friendship serves over five hundred individuals in a fifteen -county area. This organization has been providing services to this area since the beginning of 2010. A Fayetteville office was opened at the beginning of 2011. The City of Fayetteville would be entering into a long term lease with Friendship Community Care, Inc. for city owned property south of the current Seven Hills Transitional Housing facility. If funding is obtained by this organization the property will be used to construct a housing facility for individuals with developmental disabilities. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of lease for 2.2 acres located on Huntsville Road (south of the current Seven Hills Transitional Housing Facility) to Friendship Community Care, Inc. BUDGET IMPACT: None ve.. vile Departmental Correspondence ARKANSAS www.accessfayetteville.org LEGAL I)EPARTM ENT TO: Mayor Jordan City Council CC: Yolanda Fields, Community Services Director FROM: Kit Williams, City Attorney DATE: June 7, 2011 RE: Friendship Community Care, Inc. Lease Agreement Kit Williams City Attorney Jason B. Kelley Assistant City Attorney On December 7, 2004, the City of Fayetteville leased about 2.2 acres of its property immediately south of the Seven Hills Transitional Housing Facility on Huntsville Road to Sage House, a non-profit corporation formed to provide transitional housing for Fayetteville citizens. "The primary consideration for the City is Sage House's agreement in paragraph 4 to serve Fayetteville citizens by promptly providing its transitional housing project for needy Fayetteville citizens. `Promptly providing its transitional housing project' means that Sage House shall have such housing available no later than December 1, 2009 ...." Paragraph 3 of Lease Agreement Unfortunately, Sage House was unable to raise sufficient funding to construct its housing project and is no longer very active. Sage House was officially notified last month that its Lease Agreement was terminated because it did not build such transitional housing. Yolanda Fields has been working with Friendship Community Care, Inc., a non- profit corporation which has successfully provided day care or housing services for almost four decades in Arkansas. This charitable corporation desires to enter into the same type of lease agreement we had with Sage House, but probably has the expertise and experience to build a facility on our land. City Staff recommends we enter into such a contract which I have drafted for your consideration. RESOLUTION NO.
