CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to the Carter House building located in Caldwell Park at
48 Quartz Hill Road:
(1) Approve an Amended and Restated Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) with
North Valley Art League for the Carter House in Caldwell Park through June 30, 2033,
with an option to extend upon mutual agreement, at a monthly rental rate of $675.05; and
(2) Find that the adoption of the Amended and Restated Lease is categorically exempt from
review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines pursuant to Section
15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations – Existing Facilities, because
renewal of the lease will not result in a significant impact on the environment and will not
cause an expansion of the existing use.
Fiscal Impact
The projected annual lease revenue for the amended and restated lease agreement with North
Valley Art League (NVAL) is $8,100.60, with an annual 3 percent increase. This revenue covers
the cost of ongoing maintenance for items such as pest control, janitorial service, HVAC
maintenance, and other on-call maintenance. Additionally, it provides a long-term maintenance
fund for roof replacement, parking lot surfacing, and other capital costs as needed. The new
payment will commence retroactively on January 1, 2023.
Alternative Action
The Council could decline to approve the amended and restated lease agreement with NVAL,
which would result in the existing agreement remaining in place without the updated expenses
and monthly rent. Or, the Council could provide staff with alternate direction.

Agreement with North Valley Art League

Services Director
Report to Redding City Council January 11, 2023
Re: 4.6(b)--Amended & Restated Lease Agreement with North Valley Art League Page 2
Background/Analysis
For more than 40 years, the City has been in partnership with NVAL, first at the Old City Hall
building, then a small building on Parkview Avenue, and most recently at the Carter House in
Caldwell Park. NVAL is a non-profit arts organization for amateur and professional artists
boasting a membership of more than 250 people and many more supporters. NVAL offers
community members seeking to develop their artistic ability a schedule of workshops and
classes, opportunities to show their work, and events to compete for recognition of their talent.
NVAL hosts a national juried show that draws entries from all over the country. Further, the
presence of an art gallery in Caldwell Park adds value to the park experience and extends the
attraction to a broader audience.
On March 10, 2020, NVAL closed its gallery at Carter House due to the COVID-19 pandemic
and re-opened on July 7, 2021. NVAL depends on public attendance, participation in art classes,
and memberships to generate revenues and sustain regular operations. This closure resulted in an
associated decline in revenue. NVAL continued to pay the entire prior lease payment until
December 2020. The Council approved a temporary reduction in NVAL’s lease payment from
December 2020 through June 2021, which annually prorated the payments through December
31, 2022. Prior to that time, the lease payment was $563 per month.
The original contract commenced on July 1, 2013, spanning a 20-year term and an option to
extend upon mutual agreement of both parties. NVAL has been an exemplary tenant with no
extraordinary expenses.
Highlights of the amended and restated lease are:
• The term of the lease remains unchanged and continues through June 30, 2033.
• NVAL pays all utility costs as well as $675.05 monthly toward a maintenance fund for
roofing, HVAC, and other building repair/maintenance expenses.
• NVAL provides care for the garden areas adjacent to the building.
• NVAL provides sixty (60) hours of community service, including art workshops and
tours, thirty (30) hours of which are coordinated with the Recreation Division to include
art lessons for summer day camp programs.
• NVAL hosts a retail area in the front of the gallery with note cards and other gift items
available for sale.
• The gallery is open to visitors for a minimum of twenty (20) hours weekly.
• A 12-month notice is required for termination of the lease.
Environmental Review
The adoption of this Amended and Restated Lease is categorically exempt from environmental
review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations. This exemption permits the lease of existing public facilities
when there is negligible or no expansion of use. The adoption of this Amended and Restated
Lease does not expand the use of the facility beyond what was originally contemplated in the
lease dated April 1, 2013, as amended from time to time. This Amended and Restated Lease
likewise does not expand the use of the facility by means of an extension to its term. The term of
the original lease, as amended, is not impacted by the Amended and Restated Lease.

of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action or proceeding against

F. Outdoor storage may be permitted on the leased Premises with the written permission of the

SECTION 12. IMPROVEMENTS; ALTERATIONS.
A. Lessee shall not make or permit anyone to make any alterations, exterior decorations,
additions, or improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Premises or the building
without the prior written consent of Lessor. When granting its consent, Lessor may imp ose
any conditions it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, payment of prevailing
wages, the approval of plans and specifications and obtaining of specified insurance. As a
condition precedent to such written consent of Lessor, Lessee agrees to obtain and deliver to
Lessor written and unconditional waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens upon the
land and building, of which the Premises are a part, for all work, labor, and services to be
performed and materials to be furnished by them in connection with such work, signed by all
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and laborers to be involved in such work.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien is filed against the
Premises, the building, and/or the land for which work is claimed to have been done or
materials claimed to have been furnished to Lessee, such lien shall be discharged by Lessee
within ten (10) days thereafter, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof or
by filing any bond required by law. If Lessee shall fail to discharge any such mechanics’ or
materialmen’s lien, Lessor may, at its option, discharge the same and treat the cost thereof as
additional rent payable with the monthly installment of rent next becoming due; it being
hereby expressly covenanted and agreed that such discharge by Lessor shall not be deemed to
waive or release the default of Lessee in not discharging the same.
It is understood and agreed by Lessor and Lessee that any alterations, exterior decorations,
additions, or improvements shall be constructed on behalf of Lessee; and that in the event
Lessor gives its written consent to Lessee making any such alterations, exterior decorations,
additions, or improvements, such written consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or
consent by Lessor to subject Lessor’s interest in the Premises, the building, or the land to any
mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens which may be filed in respect to any such work done by or
on behalf of Lessee.
B. All alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements, including wall-to-wall
carpet, upon the Premises (whether with or without the prior written consent of Lessor) shall,
at the election of Lessor, remain upon the Premises and become the property of Lessor and be
surrendered with the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement
without disturbance, molestation, or injury. Should Lessor elect that alterations, exterior
decorations, additions, or improvements made by Lessee upon the Premises, including
telephone or computer cabling, security systems, conduit or wiring, be removed upon
expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement, Lessee hereby agrees to cause same to be
removed at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Should Lessee fail to remove the same, Lessor
may cause same to be removed at Lessee’s expense, and Lessee hereby agrees to reimburse
Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 6
North Valley Art League
Lessor for the cost of such removal, together with any and all damages which Lessor may
suffer and sustain by reason of the failure of Lessee to remove the same.
C. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all expenses,
liens, claims, or damages to persons or property which arise directly or indirectly by reason of
the making of any such alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements. If any
such work is done without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessor may correct or remove
the same, and Lessee shall be liable for any and all expenses incurred by Lessor in the
performance of this work. All alterations, exterior decorations, additions, or improvements in
or to the Premises or the building made by either party shall immediately become the
property of Lessor, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part
thereof at the expiration or termination of the term hereof without disturbance, molestation,
or injury; provided, however, that if Lessee is not in default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall have the right to remove, prior to
expiration of the term hereof, all movable furniture, furnishings, or equipment installed in the
Premises at the expense of Lessee. If such property of Lessee is not removed by Lessee prior
to the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement, the same shall become the property
of Lessor and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof.
SECTION 13. SIGNS.
A. Lessee shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) identification signs, to be approved by
Lessor, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. One sign may be placed near the
front of the building at a location near the principal entrance of Lessee, and shall not exceed
five (5) square feet. A second sign not exceeding five (5) feet in height nor six (6) square feet
in area may be placed near the parking lot north of the premises. The freestanding sign shall
be made entirely of wood or concrete to coordinate with the building.
SECTION 14. PROPERTY OF LESSEE.
A. Fixtures, equipment, and personal property of Lessee shall be removed by Lessee within a
reasonable time after termination or earlier cancellation of this Lease Agreement; provided,
however, that any fixtures which cannot be removed without damaging said Premises shall
become the property of Lessor.
SECTION 15. HOLD HARMLESS; INSURANCE.
A. This Lease Agreement is granted upon the express condition that Lessor, its officers, agents,
and employees, shall be free from any and all liability, including fines and penalties, and
claims for damages for personal injury, death, or property damage in any way connected with
Lessee’s use of the Premises hereunder leased, including claims of Lessee, its officers,
agents, employees, members, or invitees. Lessee shall indemnify and save harmless Lessor,
its officers, agents and employees, from any and all liability, loss, cost, or obligation on
account of or arising out of any such injury, death, or loss caused by the negligence or other
legal fault of Lessee or its officers, agents, employees, members, or invitees.

aggregate for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage;
2. Insurance Services Office form number CA-0001 (Ed. 1/87), Comprehensive

hired vehicles;
3. Statutory Workers’ Compensation required by the Labor Code of the State of California
and Employers' Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the
insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees,
agents and volunteers;
4. The City does not accept insurance certificates or endorsements with the wording “but
only in the event of a named insured’s sole negligence” or any other verbiage limiting the
insured’s insurance responsibility.
C. In addition, Lessee shall procure and maintain from a company authorized to do business in
the State of California, and its sole cost and expense and at all times during the term of this
Lease Agreement, fire insurance on the existing building, and structures to be erected on the
Premises, to the full insurable value thereof, with the City of Redding named as loss payee.
Lessee shall furnish to the Risk Manager of Lessor, to be approved by him prior to the
commencement of the term thereof, a Certificate of insurance showing that this insurance
coverage is in effect. The Certificate shall guarantee Lessor at least ten (10) days written
notice of cancellation or reduction in coverage.
D. It is further understood and agreed as a condition of this Lease Agreement that should Lessee
hire an employee or employees, it will provide workers’ compensation insurance on its
employees as required by the Labor code, and shall furnish Lessor with a Certificate
evidencing such insurance. To obtain an exemption from this requirement should Lessee
have no employees, Lessor shall provide the Risk Manager of Lessor with a letter stating that
it is not employing any person or persons in any manner so as to become subject to the
workers’ compensation laws of California; provided, however, that should Lessee later
Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 8
North Valley Art League
become subject to the workers’ compensation provisions of the Labor Code, it will forthwith
comply with the insurance requirements set forth above.
SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING.
A. Lessee shall not assign this Lease Agreement or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, nor any right or privilege pertinent thereto, nor suffer any other
person (the officers, agents, employees, members and invitees of Lessee excepted) to occupy
or use said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written consent of Lessor first had
and obtained. A consent by Lessor to one assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use by
another party shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting,
occupancy, or use by the same or another party. Any such assignment, subletting, occupancy,
or use without such consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this
Lease Agreement. This Lease Agreement or any interest therein shall not be assignable as to
the interest of Lessee, by operation of law, without the written consent of Lessor. Lessor will
not unreasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment by Lessee.
SECTION 17. INSPECTION AND NOTICE.
A. Insofar as the same may be necessary for the protection of Lessor’s rights, Lessor or its agents
shall during normal business hours of Lessee have the right to go upon and inspect the ground

constructed or in the course of being erected or constructed, repaired, added to, rebuilt, or
restored thereon; and also to serve, or to post and keep posted thereon, or any part thereof,

SECTION 18. MATERIAL BREACH.
A. Upon written notice from Lessor to Lessee that Lessee is committing a material breach of a
term, covenant, or condition of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall forthwith cure such
breach. In the event that Lessee has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days following
the date of mailing such written notice thereof to Lessee by Lessor, Lessor shall have the right
to enter and take over the demised Premises and exclude Lessee therefrom.
SECTION 19. WAIVER.
A. No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right, power, or remedy with regard to any
breach or default by such party under this Lease Agreement, or to insist upon strict
performance of any of the provisions hereof, shall impair any right, power, or remedy of such
party, and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach or default of the same or any
other provision of this Agreement. The waiver by Lessor of any breach or default of any term,
covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant, or condition, or any subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant, or
condition herein contained.
SECTION 20. DEFAULT.
Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 9
North Valley Art League
A. If Lessee shall be in arrears in the payment of rent for thirty (30) days or more, or if the
transfer or assignment, voluntarily or involuntarily, of this Lease Agreement or any interest
therein is attempted, except as herein provided, or if Lessee violates or neglects or fails to
keep, observe, and perform any of the covenants, promises, or conditions herein contained
which are on its part to be kept, observed, and performed, Lessor may, at its election, give
Lessee written notice of such default. If such default shall continue for thirty (30) days, and
Lessee has failed to commence good faith efforts to cure such default within said period and
diligently prosecute the same to completion, Lessor shall have the right at any time thereafter
and while such neglect or default continues to enter into or upon said Premises, or any part
thereof, and repossess the same, including all buildings and improvements thereon, and expel
Lessee and those claiming under Lessee, and remove their effects, forcibly if necessary,
without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be invoked by Lessor.
SECTION 21. BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY.
A. If Lessee shall be adjudged bankrupt, either by voluntary or involuntary proceedings, or
should be the subject of any proceedings to stay the enforcem ent of obligations against it in
the form of reorganization or otherwise under and pursuant to any existing or future laws of
the Congress of the United States, or if Lessee shall discontinue business or fail in business,
or abandon or vacate said real property, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
if said real property should come into possession and control of any trustee in bankruptcy, or
if any receiver should be appointed in any action or proceeding with power to charge,
possession, control, or care of said property, Lessor shall have the option to forthwith
terminate this Lease Agreement, and re-enter the property and take possession thereof. In no
event shall this Lease Agreement be deemed an asset of Lessee after adjudication in
bankruptcy.
SECTION 22. CANCELLATION.
A. This Lease Agreement may be cancelled by either party at any time upon giving proper
written notice twelve (12) months in advance of such cancellation.
SECTION 23. SURRENDER.

possession, ordinary wear and tear excepted, failing which Lessor may restore the Premises
and such equipment and fixtures to such condition and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof to
Lessor on demand.
SECTION 24. ADMINISTRATION BY LESSOR.
A. Whenever Lessee is required to secure the approval or consent of Lessor under this Lease
Agreement, “Lessor” shall mean the City Manager of the City of Redding. However, at the

Amended and Restated Carter House Land and Building Lease Agreement (C-4054) 10
North Valley Art League
consents may be referred to the City Council of the City of Redding, whose decision thereon
shall be final.
SECTION 25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
A. This Lease Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto.
Modifications or additions to this Lease Agreement shall be considered valid only when
mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.
