Report Title: 1203 W. 10th Street - Sublease Amendment with YMCA
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a sublease amendment with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay (YMCA), 1203 W. 10th Street in Antioch, to extend the term of the sublease through June 30, 2024, to correspond to the term of the service contract under which YMCA operate a Head Start program at this location, with an annual rent of $52,329.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. Lease revenue received from YMCA directly offsets lease expense paid to the master lessor.
BACKGROUND:
The County has leased the grounds at 1203 W. 10th Street in Antioch from the State of California since 1999. The County constructed four modular buildings on the site. The YMCA was selected to operate the Head Start program beginning on July 1, 2022. The sublease is tied to the term of the service contract under which the YMCA operates the Head Start program at the site for the County. If the service contract between the County and YMCA is not renewed or is terminated for any reason, the sublease will terminate, and the County will replace YMCA as the operator of the program and the sublessee of the space.
Head Start programs promote school readiness for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children from low-income families. The ground lease and sublease provide the County and YMCA with continued occupancy for childcare and Head Start programs throughout the Antioch community.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not authorizing the sublease 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.
