RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a lease with the Pleasant Hill Executive Park Association, for 9,563 square feet of office space for the Health Services Department – First Hope/ First Break program. The term of this lease is 10 years with one five-year renewal term. The annual rental payment for the first year is $214,596 with annual increases thereafter, under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease.


AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the lease on behalf of Contra Costa County, and any renewal options under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Mental Health Services Act funds. The lease was anticipated and budgeted in the Health Services Department approved 2017/2018 budget.

BACKGROUND:

The space that Health Services Department - First Hope/ First Break program occupies is not sufficient program space for anticipated and approved growth. The cost of updating the space to bring current location up to date to run the program efficiently is very expensive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this lease is not approved, the Health Services Department - First Hope/First Break will not be able to hire staff to support the growth of the program and the County will incur additional expenses in finding a new location.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The First Hope/First Break program serves the most vulnerable children and adolescents facing serious mental health challenges. The growth of the program will significantly increase capacity to meet the mental health needs of youth recently experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
