LEASE AGREEMENT
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to
Council the following:

2. THAT the lease agreement with the Oshawa/Clarington Association for Community Living in the
amount of $261.25 for a one year term be approved;

term be approved;
4. THAT the attached By-laws marked Attachment #1 and Attachment #2 be approved authorizing the

1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 As Council is aware, the Municipality has existing lease agreements with the Oshawa/Clarington
Association for Community Living (OCACL) and the John Howard Society (JHS) for the former
apparatus bay and probation offices. As a result of their expansion of operations and the lease
availability of space due to the termination of the lease by St. Johns Ambulance, it is recommended
that this additional space be leased to both agencies to continue with their programming.
1.2 To-date both the OCACL and JHS have worked together with the community to share resources and
provide the opportunities and solutions to issues facing the citizens of Clarington. They have
explored potential partnership with other agencies and will continue to work with and develop
strategic alliances that will be beneficial to their programming and to the community.
