Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve and authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer to execute a three year Lease Agreement, effective on or around April 15, 2013, with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, dba Harvestland Foursquare Church for 30 parking spaces located at 327 Pajaro Street, in Salinas, California, for use by the Probation Department;
b. Authorize the Auditor-Controller to make lease payments of $900.00 per month and in accordance with the terms of the agreement; and
c. Authorize the extension of the Lease Agreement for two additional one-year periods under the same terms and conditions, and make minor revisions to the Lease Agreement if deemed by the Contracts/Purchasing Officer to be in the best interests of the County.
SUMMARY:
Approval of the Lease Agreement will provide additional parking spaces to be used by employees of the Probation Department. The lease term will commence on April 15, 2013 and expire April 30, 2016. Commencement rent will be $900.00 per month in accordance to the Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
The Probation Department occupies 20 E. Alisal Street in Salinas with limited on-site parking spaces. The lack of parking slots requires employees to park on metered street locations with two hour time limits. The dedicated additional 30 spaces under the lease with Harvestland Foursquare Church will alleviate the parking issues that the Probation Department is currently challenged with.
Commencement rent will be $900.00 per month. The Lease Agreement provides for two, one-year extension options under the same terms and conditions including annual rental adjustments.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Department of Public Works facilitated the negotiations of the Lease Agreement, and assisted with the development of this report. The Office of the County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Lease Agreement as to form and legality and Risk Management has approved it as to insurance and indemnity.
FINANCING:
There is no financial impact to the General Fund Contribution. Sufficient funds are available in the Probation Department's approved budget.
