Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of Columbus Public Health, to execute a Lease Agreement with Columbus Neighborhood Health Center, Inc. (CNHC), dba PrimaryOne Health, as Tenant, for use of city-owned medical office space located at 2300 West Broad Street, known as the Westside Health Center.

This legislation is presented as emergency measure in order for the Health Center’s operation to continue uninterrupted.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation. The City will receive annual rental income of $281,281.00 in the first year of the Lease that will be deposited in Fund 7784, the Neighborhood Health Capital Reserve Fund, which was established for the support of the City's neighborhood health center facilities to assist in covering the capital expenses related to the repair and replacements of building interior and exterior components and for the replacement cost of associated equipment and furnishings that have reached the end of their useful life.
Emergency Action: This legislation is presented as emergency measure to allow for the Westside Health Center’s operation to continue uninterrupted.
