RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to issue a check in the sum of $5.00 made payable to Mt. Diablo Unified School District for payment in full for the five-year extension term.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The lease will obligate the County to pay rent of $1.00 per year during the five-year term as follows - Org 1535, Community Services Bureau. (100% General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
The County has leased the grounds at 227A Pacifica Ave. in Bay Point from Mt. Diablo Unified School District since 2002. The County constructed a modular building on the site for the operation of a Head Start program. The term of the ground lease is through October 31, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not authorizing the ground lease for the continued operation of the Head Start facility at this location would require finding another suitable location at increased rent, together with the associated expenses of moving and constructing new tenant improvements.
