Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to execute a Second Amendment to amend and extend the existing Lease Agreement with Jacinto W. Beard and Karen L. Beard as Landlord, for office space at 4337 Cleveland Avenue, occupied by the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program of the Department of Health, to add five (5) additional automatic renewals, each one-year in length, subject to the annual authorization of rental funds by City Council and certification of funds availability by the City Auditor. The WIC program has provided its supplemental nutrition services to program participants at this location since October 2011. The current lease term will expire on September 30, 2017. The WIC program wishes to continue to provide services to clients from this location thus necessitating the need for a second amendment to the lease to provide for addition renewal periods. All other terms, conditions, and provisions of the Lease Agreement shall remain unchanged.
Fiscal Impact: Funding for the lease payments is provided by grant funds received by Columbus Public Health from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). City funds are not required. Authorization of the expenditure for payment of rent for the renewal term beginning October 1, 2017 will be requested through a separate ordinance.
