t <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 29, 2000 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No.. g-~ <br />SUBJECT: Lease Renewal; Artscenter <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing ~ Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />Department on Aging <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, 245-2652 <br />Lease Jeny Passmore 245-2009 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider renewing the lease for Senior Center space at the Artscenter, <br />Carrboro for a period of six months. <br />BACKGROUND: The lease for Senior Center space at the Artscenter in Carrboro is set to <br />expire on July 1, 2000. In view of the work presently being carried out by the Master Aging Plan <br />Task Force and the changes in how senior center activities could potentially be carried out, staff <br />is proposing only asix-month extension of the existing lease. This will provide maximum <br />flexibility in pursuing service delivery options presented in the Plan. However, the lease includes <br />an additional six-month renewal in the event the Artscenter space is still needed at December <br />31, 2000. . <br />The lease terms and conditions are the same as in previous years, with the exception of the <br />schedule for use by the Aging Department and the rental amount. The Aging Director has <br />worked with the Artscenter staff to revise the amount of time required for senior center <br />activities. Fewer hours are required and the lease rate has been adjusted to reflect this change. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The lease is being proposed at $1061 per month, which is less than <br />previous renewals. The lower rate reflects the lower number of hours that are required for <br />Senior Center activities at the Artscenter. The total commitment for the six-month period is <br />$6,366. In the event the additional six-month extension is needed, it will be billed at the same <br />monthly lease rate. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the lease <br />extension(s) under the terms and conditions cited; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of <br />the Board, subject to final review by staff and the County Attorney. <br />
