Report Title: 55 Castlewood Drive, Pittsburg - Lease 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 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 on a month-to-month basis, with monthly rent of $750.00, which is unchanged from the amount currently paid by YMCA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Monthly rent of $750.00 is deposited into the General Fund. (Budget Unit 0588, Community Services) 100% General Fund
BACKGROUND:
In 2022, the YMCA was selected to operate the Head Start program at this location. The County then entered into (1) a service contract with the YMCA, under which YMCA operates a Head Start program at this location, and (2) a lease for the property. The purpose of this lease amendment is to extend the lease on a month-to-month basis to enable the YMCA to continue to use the space for a Head State program while a new service contract is negotiated.
Head Start programs promote school readiness for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children from low-income families. The Lease provides the County and YMCA with continued occupancy for childcare and Head Start programs throughout the Pittsburg community.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not extending the Lease would result in a disruption in the operation of the Head Start program at this location.
