BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra Costa DATE: May 3 , 1988 Cai� ��1�/ SUBJECT: Lease for Health Services Department SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. Recommended Action: AUTHORIZE the Director. of General Services to EXECUTE, on behalf of the County, a Lease with the Duffel Financial and Construction Company for the premises at 595 Center Avenue, Martinez, for occupancy by the Health Services Department, under the terms and conditions more particularly set forth in said Lease. DETERMINE that the above project is a Class 27 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. DIRECT the Director of General Services to FILE a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk. II. Financial Impact: Payments required are to come from the budget of the Health Services Department. III. Reasons for Recommendations/Background: This lease will permit the consolidation, in one building, of administrative units which currently occupy leased space throughout the Central County area. Through economies of scale and advantageous lease ' costs at 595 Center, occupancy cost per square foot will be significantly less than at present. The cost of this additional space will be offset to a large extent by the abandonment of existing leases, which either have already expired or will soon be terminating. Since most of these existing leases were written some time ago, it is estimated that rent increases and amortization of required rehabilitation would result in at least a 25% increase in occupancy costs if these leases were renewed. Non-costed benefits of this consolidation include: improved organizational performance resulting from co-location of most major administrative units; improved staff morale in moving from poorly designed and often overcrowded work environments; and elimination of direct and indirect costs of travel among the existing multiplicity of administrative locations.
