BACKGROUND: The County has leased space at Carr Mill Mall for the Health Department clinics since March 1979. In September 1979, the County received grant funds from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to operate a primary care dental clinic. An additional 1,444 square feet was leased for this purpose. The total amount of square footage leased at this location is 5, 580. The lease was renewed in 1998 with a revised floor plan that accommodated an expanded Dental Clinic and the Public Defender's office. Both tenants are expected to occupy the space throughout this renewal period through June 30, 2008. The Landlord has agreed to renew the lease for an additional five-year period with no increase in the base rent for the entire renewal period. The lease rate is $96,363.48 per year. Taxes are assessed separately and are billed based on the actual tax obligation for Carr Mill Mall. Any increase in the tax liability over the five-year period would be paid by the County as additional rent. The lease includes utilities, cleaning and all maintenance to the facility. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no increase in the base rent for the entire five-year renewal period. The lease rate is $96,363.48 per year, and these funds will be included in each fiscal year's budget request.
