RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a lease with United States Postal Service for a term of two years, effective January 1, 2023, for approximately 1,763 square feet of office and 460 square feet of storage space for a total of 2,223 square feet for the Office of the Sheriff – Court Security, located at 815 Court Street, Martinez, at an annual rent of $41,217 with no increases.

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign the Real Estate Conflict of Interest Certification on behalf of the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Office of the Sheriff - #2591 (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

The Office of the Sheriff has occupied this space since 2007. The current lease for this space will expire on December 31, 2022. The lease has a five-year renewal option but this division of the Office of the Sheriff – Court Security – is scheduled to relocate to the new Administration Annex Building at 651 Pine Street when construction of the new building is completed, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2024. To avoid paying for extra time in the existing space, this new lease will allow the Sheriff to remain in the current space for a two-year term, beginning January 1, 2023, with a right to terminate with a 60-day notice that can be exercised any time during the second year (2024). The termination option will provide the Sheriff flexibility in 2024, in the event the new building is not completed on schedule.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of the Sheriff would need to exercise their five-year option to renew the existing lease and would have to pay for time in this space that will not be needed.
