RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. DECLARE that the County-owned property at 205 41st Street, Richmond is surplus property not needed for the County's immediate use, and APPROVE a Lease with RYSE, Inc. for that property for a five year term beginning July 1, 2009, and ending June 30, 2014, for approximately 6,600 square feet of building space, at a monthly rent of $1 for the operation of a Community Youth Center under the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

2. AUTHORIZE the Director of General Services, or designee, to EXECUTE the Lease on behalf of the County, and EXERCISE any additional options to the Lease.

3. DETERMINE that the project is a Class 1(a) Section 15301 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

4. DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and DIRECT the Director of General Services, or designee, to arrange for the payment of the handling fees to the Department of Conservation and Development and County Clerk for filing of the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County will realize a cost avoidance of approximately $30,000 in fiscal year 2009/2010 and approximately $156,274 over the five year term of the lease due to RYSE paying for various building expenses.

BACKGROUND:

The County has not used the building at 205 41st Street since July 2006. Government Code Section 25372 (b) authorizes the County to lease County-owned surplus property to non-profit entities organized for the care, teaching, or training of youth. RYSE has informed the County that it is a California non-profit corporation that meets the criteria set forth in Government Code 25372 (b) and will operate a Youth Center and provide outreach services to support the community of Richmond from the 205 41st Street location.

RYSE will pay for janitorial, landscaping, telephone, natural gas, electricity and refuse collection services to the Premises. County will pay for water, sewer, and alarm service, and will maintain the HVAC and interior utility systems, and the structural integrity of the Building.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

RYSE will not provide Community Youth Center and outreach services at this location and the County-owned building will remain vacant.
