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, 2012 to December 31, 2012. A nominal 5% increase over the 2011 rate of$13,754.03 per year is proposed; thereby increasing the annual price to $14,441.73 per year. 1.2 The aforementioned increase is based on the increased cost of the utilities and expenses during the term of the previous lease. 1.3 As noted in the 2010 Report COD-054-1 0'(Attachment #1) the John Howard Society and the Community Living Oshawa / Clarington agencies are interested in expanding their programs and are interested in additional space in the building. Council directed that staff provide a report on the discussions with the two agencies and provide an outline 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 met with representatives of both agencies to discussed the space requirements and the issues associated with expanding their programs. Until late 2011, the absence of funds prevented any steps to design actual space requirements and the cost estimates associated with proposed changes. 2.2 During the fall and winter of 2011 funding arrangements were made with Community Living and the proposed renovation and design of work space was undertaken and an estimated cost was prepared. Included in the renovations to the building are upgrades to meet accessibility requirements and these improvements represent a significant portion of the estimated $428,000.00 cost of renovations. A preliminary design is provided as Attachment#2 2.3 It is proposed that staff continue to work with the Community Living and John Howard Society to refine actual space requirements and use and assist where possible with grant applications during 2012. In the interim, it is recommended that the leases be renewed for a further one year term while further investigation is conducted. 2.4 In addition to the proposed renovations to accommodate the tenant, the municipalilty has challenges in the near future because of the building condition. Both the roof and HVAC will require replacement within the next two 2 years. REPORT NO.: COD-008-12 PAGE 4 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 and expenses 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 Community Living Oshawa / Clarington and John Howard Society for the options related to expanded space and related leasehold improvements. 4.2 That a report on the outcome of the discussions including the leasehold improvements and estimates be provided at an appropriate time. 5.
