Approval of 1) a disposition order permitting the City of Cambridge (the “City”) to lease the Harvard Square Kiosk to the Tenant currently occupying the premises on a short term basis for a period of three months with three three-month extension options to be offered in the sole discretion of the City Manager; and 2) an order approving a diminution of the requirements of Section 2.110.010 of the Municipal Code to relieve the City of the requirements of that section

ORDERED: The Tenant has notified the City that it would accept an offer from the City to extend the Lease beyond January 31, 2019; and The City is currently involved in preparations to begin work on improvements to the Kiosk, but such work may not commence until mid-2019; and It is in the best interest of residents and businesses in Harvard Square that the Kiosk not remain vacant for any period of time between the termination of the Lease and the date that construction work on the Kiosk commences; now therefore be it That the City Council, pursuant to Section 2.110.010 of the Cambridge Municipal Code, hereby authorize the City Manager on behalf of the City to dispose of a leasehold interest in the Kiosk by offering same to Muckeys Corporation as Tenant on a short-term basis which shall not exceed one year in duration, and on such conditions and terms the City Manager deems necessary and appropriate.

ORDERED: Pursuant to Section 2.110.010(G) of the Cambridge Municipal Code, the City Council hereby orders that the City shall utilize a diminished process for the disposition of a short-term leasehold interest in the Harvard Square Kiosk located at Zero Harvard Square, in Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “Kiosk” or the “Premises”) for the purpose of leasing the Kiosk to the current tenant, Muckeys Corporation (the “Tenant”), for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months following the termination date of the current lease which expires on January 31, 2019 (the “Lease”). In the interest of allowing the Tenant to remain in the Premises for such additional period of time following termination of the Lease and commencement of construction at the Premises, and avoiding a vacancy at the Premises during such period of time between the Lease termination date and commencement of construction, the disposition process required by Section 2.110.010 shall be diminished so that the requirements of Subsections 2.110.010(A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) need not be met in this instance.
