Executive Summary:
The Director of General Services, in consultation with the Department of Health Services, requests Board consideration of an amendment to a lease at 1450 Guerneville Road, Santa Rosa, consisting of 8,035 rentable square feet and occupied by the Department of Health Services’ Woman, Infants & Children (WIC) Program. The proposed Amendment will allow the Department to extend its lease term one (1) additional year with no rent increase, and continue to run its Woman, Infants & Children (WIC) Program uninterrupted. The Amendment further supports the Board’s strategic pillar of Resilient Infrastructure by enabling Woman, Infants & Children (WIC) Program to continue to occupy a premises built out specifically for their operational needs at a fair rent acceptable to the Department.
Discussion:
The premises is occupied by the Department of Health Services’ Woman, Infants & Children (WIC) Program, a nutrition program that serves pregnant women, women who have recently been pregnant, infants, and children up to their fifth birthday. This supplemental nutrition program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), an agency that also provides funding for other County of Sonoma programs such as CalFresh. This program location is one of three local Department WIC programs in operation in Sonoma County.
The existing lease is set to expire November 30, 2022. The Department of Health Services, supported by the Department of General Services, initiated lease extension discussions with the premises’ Landlord in September 2021, hoping to avoid the expense and disruption of services resulting from relocation. Negotiations between the County and Landlord continued through October, when a Second Lease Amendment was agreed to by the landlord.
Lease Amendment. The proposed Second Lease Amendment between Codding Enterprises LP, as Landlord, and the County of Sonoma, as Tenant, contains the following key provisions:
1. One (1) year lease extension, for a lease expiration date of November 30, 2023
2. Monthly rent of $13,257.75 ($1.65/sf/month), representing no rent increase from the previous two years’ rent
3. All other terms of the existing Lease remain unchanged, including County
4. Right to terminate the Lease for any or no reason with 90 days written notice
Project Costs and Construction Schedule. None.
Procedural Authority. Government Code Section 25350 requires publication of notice of the Board’s intent to enter into a lease or leased amendment for three successive weeks prior to execution of the lease agreement where it is valued at more than $50,000. If your Board takes the requested action, this matter will return to the Board on or after January 4, 2022, for consideration and authorization of the proposed Second Lease Amendment.
