Title
Second Amendment to Lease Agreement between Amidon Partners, Ltd. and Sedgwick County COMCARE for leased property at 1919 N. Amidon.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the amendment and authorize the Chairman to sign.
COMCARE has leased space at 1919 N. Amidon since 1995 for Outpatient Services and is currently in 13,848 square feet of space. COMCARE would like to increase their square footage an additional 1,300 square feet to accommodate for and centralize the majority of medical staff into the same location. This will reduce travel time between programs for medical staff and provide better coverage for staff by allowing them to cover for one another when staff are ill and a patient needs to be seen. There will soon be a pharmacy at this location as well for clients to access for their prescription needs. This is the same location as COMCARE’s integrated care collaboration with GraceMed. Having medical staff at this location will benefit COMCARE clients by locating all of their primary care needs centrally. This additional space will have the same terms and conditions as the current lease that is in place.
Alternatives: The BoCC could choose not to approve the Lease Amendment, in which case COMCARE would need to remain in their current facility.
Financial Considerations: The lease rate will increase from $176,285 to $192,834 annually. $12.73 SF. Sufficient budget authority exists for this increase.
Legal Considerations: The authority for this action is K.S.A 19-101, et seq. A simple majority is required.
