i ~, ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item No. ~~ ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 22, 1998 SUBJECT: Lease Renewal; Community School for People Under Six DEPARTMENT: PURCHASING AND Public Hearing: No CENTRAL SERVICES Budget Amendment Reqd? No ATTACHMENT(S): Renewal INFORMATION CONTACT: PAM JONES, ext. 2650 Telephone Number- Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 967-9251 Mebane 227-2031 Durham 688-7331 PURPOSE: To consider extending the lease with Community School for People Under Six for five years with one five year renewal: BACKGROUND: The Community School for People Under Six has leased space from the County at the Northside facility on Caldwell Street Extension in Chapel Hill since 1983. In 1996 COMMUNITY SCHOOL FOR PEOPLE UNDER SIX received approval from the County to add on to our building. Unfortunately, the project was cost prohibitive and the Community School for People Under Six has spent the past year raising additional funds to build the project. Approximately $90,000 has been pledged by the Chapel Hill Training and Outreach Program. In return, the Community School for People Under Six has guaranteed 15 spaces for children in the Early Head Start program. The funding agency has requested a fifteen year guarantee for the 15 spaces. Such guarantee should correspond to the term of the lease. In order to maintain decision making flexibility for future Boards, however, the County has suggested as an alternative one five year term with one five year renewal. Community School For People Under Six has indicated this to be acceptable compromise to their funding agency. With the exception of the length of the renewal, the remaining conditions of the lease are the same as those for the other non-departmental agencies which the Board is considering as a separate item on this agenda. They are summarized below: • Each agency cleans their own space. • Although by terms of the lease, rent is provided as in-kind support, an estimated value is shown. The value and associated square footage for Community School for People Under Six is reflected on the spreadsheet attached to the earlier referenced agenda item for non-departmental agency lease renewals.
