The City Council of the City of Evanston adopted Resolution 59-R-14, "Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Letter of Contingent Lease Approval for City -Owned Property located at 1800 Maple Avenue". This resolution is an attachment to this correspondence. At the time of this letter's drafting, the aforementioned City property is available for lease. This letter in no way binds the City to lease to the bearer of this letter, but rather provides indication that this property is available and that the City is willing to negotiate a lease for your proposed use at this location if your entity is to become a State of Illinois licensed medical cannibas dispensary. The City does reserve the right to lease to another party or use if it is determined that it is in the best interests of the City to lease to that entity. This letter does not encumber the City to provide a right of first refusal if another entity is identified by the State of Illinois as a licensed medical cannabis dispensary and eligible to lease the space. Similar to other tenants at the City of Evanston, this business would be subject to: • Credit and background check, • Demonstration of financial capacity to pay market level rent (market level rents are comparable rents to other downtown Evanston properties); • Ability to provide sufficient capital to construct building improvements; and • All other applicable local laws. The City of Evanston is pleased that Evanston is among the locations you have considered. Good luck on your submission to the State of Illinois.
