ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~ =C <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: April 20, 1999 <br />SUBJECT: Lease Renewal: Moody Building; 103 Laurel Avenue, Carrboro <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, ext. 2650 <br />Lease Renewal <br />TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br />Mebane 227-2031 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />PURPOSE: To consider renewing a lease for the Moody Building, located at 103 <br />Laurel Avenue, Carrboro, NC. <br />BACKGROUND: The County has leased this property since 1987. Up until last year <br />the building housed the Public Defender, Probation and Parole, Guardian ad Litem, <br />Community Service office and Housing and Community Development. Housing and <br />Community Development and Child Support Enforcement relocated to the Southern <br />Human Services Center upon its completion in March 1998. Growth in the Public <br />Defender's office prompted the County to relocate them in June 1998 to space vacated <br />by the Health Department in Carr Mill Mall. <br />Around this same time, the State approached us desiring to lease space from the <br />County such that the two Probation and Parole functions could be consolidated in one <br />location. In May 1998, the Board authorized a lease between the State and the County <br />for approximately 1,236 square feet of space in the 103 Laurel Ave, which allowed such <br />a consolidation to occur. The State pays the County $17,922 per year for this space. <br />The lease with the State was approved through June 30, 1999, with renewals, which will <br />be brought forward for Board consideration in the near future. For your information, the <br />lease with the State for Probation offices coincides with our term of the lease with the <br />103 Laurel Avenue Owner. <br />Last year the Owner advised that negotiations to sell the building were ongoing. The <br />Owner has since advised us that those negotiations have ceased and he is now <br />prepared to agree to a three-year renewal of the lease. <br />The owner has expressed a desire to renew the lease with the County under the <br />following terms and conditions: <br />
