Jackie Crotz of the Department of Community Planning and Recreation presented Ordinance 2024‑306, a proposed lease authorizing the chief administrative officer to execute an agreement with the National Park Service to maintain and operate radio communications equipment “on and within” City Hall. Crotz said the lease would bring $12,000 in revenue to the city each year.

No members of the public spoke in support or opposition during the public hearing. Committee members moved and seconded forwarding Ordinance 2024‑306 to full council with a recommendation to approve. The committee recorded Member Abubakar (Aye) and Chairwoman Trammell (Aye); the motion carried.

Crotz told the committee the lease provided the city with revenue and did not require a city payment. Committee discussion did not identify additional terms in the ordinance at the meeting; members asked for forwarding to full council for final approval.

Clarifying details: the lease concerns radio equipment maintained by the National Park Service at City Hall (900 East Broad Street), staff reported $12,000 in annual revenue, and the committee forwarded the ordinance to council with a recommendation to approve. The public hearing produced no speakers and no recorded opposition.
