Report Title: Amendment to Lease for Warehouse Space at 887 Howe Road, Martinez for Health Services
☒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 Jordan Family Trust, to extend the term of the lease through March 31, 2026, for 3,600 square feet of warehouse space located at 887 Howe Road, Martinez, at an annual rent of $54,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Health Services - Enterprise Fund I. The first amendment will obligate the County to pay rent in the amount of $54,000.00 over the one-year term. (Org #6536)
BACKGROUND:
The County has leased this space for use by the Health Services Department (HSD) since September 2000. HSD requires this warehouse space for use by the Contra Costa Regional Health Center, Public Health, BioMed Equipment Unit, and Health Center Divisions because they do not have adequate storage space at their locations. This lease amendment provides for the continued occupancy of the premises by HSD.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not authorizing the lease amendment for the continued use by HSD at this location would require finding another suitable location, which may result in higher costs for the County.
