SUMMARY:
In March 2019 the Natividad Medical Foundation applied for a $200,000 grant to open a satellite Child Advocacy Center (Center) in Southern Monterey County and identified the Courthouse Facility located at 250 Franciscan Way in King City as a viable site, mainly due to the District Attorney’s Office’s presence there. On May 31, 2019 the Foundation received approval of the grant and the Resource Management Agency and the Judicial Courts of California (Court) began negotiations and development of a license agreement for a 320 square foot potion of currently occupied Court space shortly after.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of this License Agreement will provide the Center with a South County location to conduct child forensic interviews and medical examinations of child sexual assault victims, and related activities on an as needed basis. This License will commence on March 1, 2020 and can be cancelled by either party upon a thirty (30) days written notice.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Resource Management Agency facilitated negotiations regarding the License Agreement and assisted with the development of this report. The Office of the County Counsel has reviewed and approved the License Agreement as to form.
