Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Health currently occupies a clinic at 3556 Sullivant Avenue to accommodate the Women's Health program in the City's West-Side area. The lease was approved and authorized by City Council Ordinance No. 0844-2005 in May 2005, for a six month term with four one year renewal options, subject to annual appropriation of funds by City Council. An amendment is being made to the lease to amend the fourth renewal term to one (1) three-month term with three (3) three-month renewal options. This allows the Department of Health flexibility to make a decision regarding the future of this clinic.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute a lease amendment to the lease with Pica Pica Properties, LLC (Contract Compliance No. 208787529) for the use of 2,071 square feet of clinic space at 3556 Sullivant Avenue, Suite #205. This lease amendment will change the fourth term of the original lease from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, to the period of January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009, with three (3) three-month renewal options at the same rental rate. The Department of Health has the option to terminate the lease at the end of this period or any term remaining thereafter.
Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in payments of this lease.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this lease amendment is included in the 2009 budget for the Health Special Revenue Fund. The cost is $12.73 per square foot, for a total cost of $6,591 for the first three month term.
