REPORT NO.: COD-054-10 PAGE 2
1. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.1 The John Howard Society and Community Living Oshawa/Clarington have
expressed an interest in, and agreed to an extension of their current lease for a
period of one (1) year commencing January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. A
nominal 5% increase over the 2010 rate of$13,099.08 per year is proposed;
thereby increasing the annual price to $13,754.03 per year.

and were interested in additional space in the building. Council directed that staff

of the proposed lease hold improvements with an estimated cost, as appropriate,
to be borne by the tenant and the possible timing.
2. ANALYSIS — Investigation of Leasehold Improvements for Expansion
2.1 Staff have met with representatives of both agencies and discussed the space
requirements and the issues associated with expanding their programs. The
challenges of determining the actual space requirements together with the
absence of funds have prolonged the process. However, the agencies are still
interested in pursuing discussions with a view to expanding the lease space and
their programs.
2.2 It is proposed that staff continue to work with the John Howard Society and
Community Living to determine actual space requirements and use and assist
where possible with grant applications during 2011. In the interim, it is
recommended that the leases be renewed for a further one year term while
further investigation is conducted.
REPORT NO.: COD-054-10 PAGE 3
3. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS —Lease Extension for Current Space
3.1 In order to continue the existing lease arrangement during the exploration of the
requirements for the expanded space, it is recommended that a lease extension
be entered into with each agency. A nominal increase is proposed in the lease
rate to accommodate the increase in the cost of utilities for the facility.
3.2 On-going discussions with the tenants with respect to the leasehold
improvements will move ahead with limited cost to the Municipality.
3.3 Discussions will include the extension of the leases for the total space
requirement for a term in keeping with the investment in leasehold
improvements.
3.4 Queries with respect to department needs, specifications, etc., should be referred to
the Director of Operations.
4. CONCLUSION
4.1 That the proposed lease extensions be approved for the current space and that
staff continue discussions with the John Howard Society and the Community

leasehold improvements.

1. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.1 The John Howard Society and Community Living Oshawa/Clarington have
expressed an interest in, and agreed to an extension of their current lease
for a period of one (1) year commencing January 1, 2010 to December 31,
2010. A nominal 0.2% increase over the 2009 rate of$13,072,92 per year
is proposed; thereby increasing the annual price to $13,099.08 per year.
1.2 The aforementioned increase is based on the Consumer Price Index for
the month of November 2008 to 2009; As there has been very little
change in the market conditions since last year and utility costs have been
stable, it is staff s recommendation that the offer be accepted.
1.3 Subsequent to the lease renewal in 2009 a report to the GPA Committee
was provided indicating that Ontario Realty Corporation was no longer
interested in leasing the Courtroom space at 132 Church Street.

2.2 Although there are a number of changes proposed for the site it is
imperative that the building be made fully accessible to meet the
requirements of the agency's clients and to comply with the accessibility
legislation. One major improvement needed to achieve the level of
accessibility is the installation of an elevator. This one item alone
represents a large portion of the cost associated with the renovations. This
cost is estimated at approximately $75,000 to $80,000. Preliminary
inquiries indicate that upgrades for accessibility may be funded through a
Trillium Grant.
2.3 Other grant opportunities are being explored and may involve energy
(lighting) retrofits. An overall estimate of upgrades suggested is being
pursued, however this is proving to be a challenge as an estimate will
necessitate incurring some cost for the agencies.
2.4 A copy of the list indicating the preferred leasehold improvements is
attached as Schedule "D", All parties recognize that this list may be
modified depending on the available funds and the overall estimate for the
project,

improvements will move ahead with limited cost to the Municipality. It is
anticipated that municipal costs will include in kind services such as

for the renovations.
