RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE a lease with J. Mortz Limited Partnership for approximately 3,800 square feet of rentable office space for Employment and Human Services Department – Children’s Interview Center. The term of the lease is 5 years with two 2-year renewal terms. The annual rental payment for the first year is $55,176 with annual increases thereafter.

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the lease and any renewal options.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The lease will obligate the County to pay rent in excess of approximately $294,120 over the 5-year term of the lease. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Employment and Human Services Department – Children’s Interview Center has been operating at this location since August 1, 2000. The County spent approximately $350,000 on the tenant improvements required to modify this space into offices, a specialized children’s reception area, interview rooms, exam rooms, an additional entrance/exit for law enforcement/court officers separate from the front entrance, and associated audio/video equipment required for the Children’s Interview Center. Additionally, the landlord spent approximately $140,000 on building improvements outside of the suites.

This new lease provides for the County’s continued occupancy of the premises by EHSD.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the lease will result in having to relocate to another location at considerable expense.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

If the lease is not approved, the services provided for and on behalf of the children at EHSD-CIC would terminate.
