Report Title: 55 Castlewood Drive, Pittsburg-Lease Amendment with YMCA
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a lease amendment with Young Men's Christian Association of the East Bay (YMCA) to extend the term of the lease of the County-owned property located at 55 Castlewood Drive in Pittsburg from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, to correspond to the term of the service contract under which YMCA operates a Head Start program at this location, with annual rent of $9,000.00.
