RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a lease agreement with Balco Properties, LTD, LLC, for a term of 12 years for approximately 16,709 square feet of office space located at 2600 Stanwell Drive, Concord, at an initial monthly rent of $22,975 for occupancy by the Employment and Human Services Department, under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease agreement. (WLP859)

FISCAL IMPACT:

80% Federal/State Funds, 20% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) has maximized the utilization of all the buildings and spaces it currently occupies. EHSD needs additional office and training space for its Staff Development Division and Work Force Development Bureau in Central County. The new lease on Stanwell Drive will provide adequate space for future growth of these functions. This lease will also consolidate Staff Development from Hercules and Pleasant Hill into an adequately-sized central training facility, and will consolidate work that processes mail and electronic benefits applications into a single location, while eliminating the need for modular buildings in Pittsburg.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this lease is not approved, EHSD will not be able to consolidate Staff Development and Work Force Development functions into one facility and forgo its consolidation, thereby aggravating operational impacts of having these functions split while increasing costs by having these functions in multiple locations in the County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
