COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Vice-Mayor Kristen Rosen Gonzalez 
DATE:April  6, 2022
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSS RAINBOW DAYCARE NEGOTIATIONS. 

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Property owners at 555 Jefferson Avenue, the former “El Palacio de los Jugos”, have dramatically increased leasing costs since the City initially expressed interest in moving Rainbow Daycare to 555 Jefferson and began the negotiation process. The administration could consider other options than 555 Jefferson.

·        Are any sites available on MDCPS properties?

·        Should the City explore renovating current Fire Station 1045 Jefferson now to prepare for daycare?

·        Do any MB parks have space for daycare?

·        What are the prices of other nearby private properties?

·        Could the Housing Authority contribute money? Do they have any spaces in their buildings or on their properties?

·        Maybe find some space at the garage on Alton and 5th?
