TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager
DATE: March 12, 2015
RE: Approve Extension of Safety Building Lease Agreement-Winnebago County
BACKGROUND
In December of 2011 the city and county entered into an agreement allowing the county to lease
7,827 square feet of the Safety Building first floor areas for their Circuit Court Branch VI
courtroom and offices, the Court Commissioner's Office and court room and the Family
Counseling Services offices. The term of the lease was for three years (2011-2014) at $70,443
annually plus the County's share of utilities. The lease revenue monies were placed in the
Facility Improvement Fund (#329-0130) to fund various Safety Building facility improvement
projects. Because they are unsure of their long term plans for the courts that occupy the Safety
Building the county requested only a one year extension at this time. We will seek a long term
arrangement with the county at a later time.
ANALYSIS
The 2011 lease expired on November 30, 2014. The county has requested a one year extension of
this lease agreement at the same rent amount of$70,443, commencing of December 1, 2014 and
ending on November 30, 2015. Each party would continue to be responsible for its own
insurance and activities, be required to continue to provide for maintenance of their respective
areas, and pay their proportionate share of the utilities. It is unlikely that the city would find
another appropriate tenant for the property should the county choose to vacate the premises.
FISCAL IMPACT
Under the current and proposed lease extension the city would receive $70,443 in revenue. If the
county were to vacate the Safety Building after December 1, 2015 there would budget
implications as all utilities would become the city's responsibility.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council authorize entry into the lease agreement extension as proposed.
Respectfully S bmi ed, Approved:
