Explanation
The need for this legislation arises due to a change in status by the contractor for Rental Property Services for the Board of Health. The contractor failed to notify the Board of this change until after passage of the authorizing legislation for the current lease agreement. The legislation must be amended to allow execution of a valid lease with the entity.
Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in payments of this lease and arises due to lack of notice by the contractor.
