WHEREAS, in July 2013, the City Council approved extension of the lease agreement
between the City and Heartland Senior Services (HSS) for the City-owned property located at 205
South Walnut Avenue for 25 years;this new lease term will expire on June 30, 2037; and,
WHEREAS, Under Article 7 of the lease agreement it states that "Heartland shall not assign
or sublet the premises or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the City;"and,
WHEREAS, HSS is requesting the consent of the City to sublease approximately 264 square
feet of office space to Bethany Life (BL), which is a non-profit organization that exists to serve and
support older adults throughout Ames and greater Story County; and,
WHEREAS, two Bethany Life staff members would be located in this office space; and,
WHEREAS, HSS and B1 staff members have discussed coordinating complimentary services
HSS and BL share a goal of connecting seniors with available resources that will allow them to live
independently as long as possible; therefore, by having staff members from both organizations in the
same budding with increased communication, it is anticipated that duplication of services can be
elin-iiated and opportunities to collaborate in the delivery of old adult services could be increased;

the lease tern will run concurrently with HSS's lease tern with the City with an added clause that
each party can terminate the lease with a 120-day advance written notice.
