Title
First Lease Amendment between Sedgwick County and 2716 Partnership for leased property at 2716 West Central (Health Department Clinic).
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the amendment and authorize the Chairman to sign.
Sedgwick County has leased space at 2716 West Central since March 2005 for the Health Department's main clinic. This location provides the community with essential services such as immunizations, health screenings, tuberculosis testing, family planning services, HIV and sexually transmitted disease testing, and women's health services.
The First Amendment to Lease Agreement extends the lease at this location for an initial period of two years (through March 31, 2017) and includes three additional, one-year renewal terms, potentially extending the lease through March 31, 2020. The lease rate is scheduled to remain at the current rate of $6,262.27 per month, or $5.78 per square foot for the term of this lease. The rate would increase by one percent per year for each of the three renewal terms, if exercised. The clause providing the County the option to terminate the lease has been reduced from 365 days to 180 day notice. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
Alternatives: The BoCC could choose not to approve this lease amendment, in which case the Health Department would need to find an alternate location prior to the March 31, 2015 expiration of their current lease.
Financial Considerations: Continued lease rate of $75,147.22 per year for the regular term of this lease. Rate increases by one percent each year, if the (3) additional one-year renewals are exercised. There is sufficient expenditure authority in fund center 38026-110 for this expenditure.
Legal Considerations: The authority for this action is K.S.A. 19-101. A simple majority is required.
Policy Considerations: All Sedgwick County policies and procedures have been followed in the amendment process for this lease.
