BACKGROUND:
The District Attorney’s Office has been a partner in the San Mateo County Child Sexual Abuse Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) since its inception more than 25 years ago and is now the lead grant recipient for the MDT. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MDT’s Child Forensic Interview Program operated out of the San Mateo Medical Center; however, the pandemic forced the Program out of the hospital. The Child Forensic Interview Program is currently operating in a decentralized manner with child forensic interviews being held in local police departments. The Program now desires to lease the 2,742 square foot space located at 1200 Industrial Road, Unit 1A, San Carlos, subject to the Landlord providing certain Leasehold Improvements.
DISCUSSION:
Real Property Services has negotiated a lease agreement for a term through May 3, 2023, with two (2) consecutive one-year options to extend, at an initial monthly Base Rent of $7,814.70, or $2.85 per square foot per month. Base Rent includes water, taxes, fees, and insurance. Upon the County’s execution of the first Extension Option, the Base Rent shall be adjusted to $8,226,00 per month, or $3.00 per square foot per month. The Landlord will complete and pay for certain leasehold improvements as well as provide a new air filter and ensure the space has proper air circulation. The District Attorney concurs in this recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The monthly Base Rent to be paid for the 2-year term totals approximately $187,552.80, is budgeted in and will be paid for by the Cal OES Child Advocacy Center grant. Additionally, the Program provided a security deposit in the amount of $23,425.20, which is equal to three (3) months rent, paid for by the Cal OES Child Advocacy grant.
