Executive Summary:

General Services department staff, in consultation with Human Services Department (HSD) leadership, requests Board consideration of a Lease at 5345 Skylane Blvd, Santa Rosa, consisting of 7,000 rentable square feet of air-conditioned warehouse and office space, to be occupied by the Human Services Department’s Operations Section. The proposed Lease will meet the Department’s growing storage and distribution needs for office equipment, furniture, and supplies, as well as serve as a disaster logistics facility supporting the county’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Care & Shelter unit.

 

Discussion:

In March, 2021, County General Services, on behalf of Human Services, initiated a search for air-conditioned warehouse space in the Airport area with the purpose of relieving constraint problems HSD was experiencing at its existing warehouse facilities that was negatively affecting its operating efficiency.  Negotiations between the County and Landlord commenced in September 2021 and continued through December 2021, when lease terms and a draft Lease was agreed upon.  The proposed five year lease term, with a five year option exercisable at the County’s discretion, will allow HSD uninterrupted use of an air-conditioned office/warehouse facility to efficiently support their day-to-day operations and emergency response through April 30, 2032.

1.                     Five (5) year lease commencing May 1, 2022 and expiring April 30, 2027
