TO:

Honorable Board of Supervisors

FROM:

Paul T. Scannell, Assistant County Manager

SUBJECT:

Lease of a portion of the building at 1390 El Camino Real, San Carlos for the use of the Probation Department. (Lease No. 1261)

 
 

Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Board President to execute a Lease Agreement for the ground floor of the building at 1390 El Camino Real, San Carlos, and authorizing the Assistant County Manager to execute options, notices and documents in connection with the Lease.

 

Background
Since June of 2002, the Probation Department has been leasing the first floor of 1390 El Camino for a program that provides counseling and an alternative classroom setting to high school students who are considered to be at risk in their current classroom and/or home environment.

 



Discussion

The proposed lease is for a one year term for approximately 4,000 square feet of office space. The monthly rent for 1390 El Camino is $6,800 ($1.70 per s.f) which is the fair market rate. The landlord is responsible for the cost of all maintenance, utilities and services to the building.
The Director of the Probation Department concurs with this recommendation.
