Community Development Committee renews Haz Heart lease at Veterans Memorial Park through 2028

An unidentified host reported that the Community Development Committee renewed a lease agreement with Haz Heart, a nonprofit founded by a U.S. veteran and designer, extending the nonprofit's tenancy at the Veterans Memorial Park retail and coffee shop through 2028.

The renewal requires Haz Heart to contribute 15% of its net income back to the city. The host described the space as a combined cafe and gallery that honors veterans and helps activate the park building for visitors.

The transcript does not record a mover, a seconder, or a vote tally for the committee action. The recap indicates the committee approved the renewal; no public comments or objections were reported in the transcript excerpt. The host used two spellings for the nonprofit in the transcript; this article uses the nonprofit's name as "Haz Heart" for consistency.

Next steps were not specified in the transcript excerpt; the lease takes effect under the renewed terms through 2028 unless otherwise modified by future committee or council action.
