Susan,

Attached are the new lease terms we propose for your space at 1028- A Howard St. We are proposing new lease terms to make certain things easier, e.g. collecting your contribution for the water, sewer and garbage costs. Under the lease which expired 4/30/06, S.F. Green Party was to pay Mercy 2.5% of the property???s total water and sewer bill, which is now more than $2,000 a month. In addition to that $50 a month would be an additional charge for your share of the garbage. On top of that, we should???ve been charging you for the property taxes we???ve been getting assessed on your space, which were $1,272 in the 2004-05 year (the current 2005-06 bill is even higher, but being reassessed for other reasons). In other words, we have not charged you the $150 a month for your share of the water and taxes, not to mention garbage.

We understand the Green Party is a small organization with limited resources, and doesn???t generate a great deal of garbage, so we offer trash removal services at no charge. (Please note???the door from the Community Room to the property hallway and garage must never be left open, for security reasons, so you can coordinate with Zoya when to leave your trash by the hallway of your space, and she will have it carried to the trash bins in the garage.)

Given all of the above, we propose a rent of $1,100, to cover part??? not all???of the increased taxes on the space we have been paying since the last nonprofit tenant (ourselves) moved out and we lost our tax exemption on the space. Also a very small part of the water. No charge for the community room. All in all, a good deal on rent, without the hassles of Mercy having to charge you back for your pro-rata share of water and taxes.

Please let Barbara know if these terms work for you. If so, just have the attached proposal signed and returned to Barbara so we can send you a new lease. Thanks a lot,
