Submitted fxy: Reviewed , Marie Marano, H.B.Sc., by: Franklin Wu, C.M.O., Chief Administrative Officer Director of Corporate Services MM\JDB\mc CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 • 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 fifteen months commencing January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. A nominal 1 % increase over the 2012 rate of $14,441.73 per year is proposed; thereby increasing the annual price to $14,586.15 per year or $1,215.51 per month. 1.2 The aforementioned increase is based on the Consumer Price Index All Items for Ontario. 1.3 As noted in the 2010 Report COD - 054 -10 (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. In 2010 and in 2012 Council directed that staff provide a report on the discussions with the two agencies and provide an outline of the proposed leasehold improvements with an estimated cost, as appropriate, to be borne by the tenant and the possible timing. 1.4 In 2011 a review of the space requirements was undertaken and a draft design completed that reflected revisions to the interior and the provision of an elevator needed to address the accessibility requirements (Attachment #2). Based on estimates at the time renovations to the building were estimated to be in the range of $450,000.00 to $500,000.00. 2. ANALYSIS — Investigation of Leasehold Improvements for Expansion 2.1 Staff have met with representatives of both agencies to discuss the space requirements and the issues associated with expanding their programs. As in previous years the absence of a sharing agreement between the two tenants and the absence of funds have prevented budgetary planning beyond the design completed last year. 2.2 In addition to the renovations there are other landlord related costs associated with the building that would be the responsibility of the Municipality. These include HVAC upgrades and the replacement of the roof. The HVAC upgrades have been identified in the energy management program and the roof replacement is included in the Operations Department Capital Plan with an expectation of completion by 2014. 2.3 In preparation for the more detailed discussion related to renovations staff will be meeting with Engineering Services and Emergency Services to review any issues relating to the change of occupancy and what additional costs may be added to the project. REPORT NO.: COD - 006 -13 PAGE 3 2.4 It is proposed that staff continue to work with the Community Living and John Howard Society to refine actual space requirements and explore renovation opportunities with a view to establishing a long term lease arrangement commencing in 2014. In the interim, it is recommended that the leases be renewed for a further fifteen month term which coincides with the Agencies budget year. 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 reflect inflation 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 preparation of a new and long term lease agreement which will anticipate and provide for leasehold improvements to be undertaken by the tenants. 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 and the establishment of a long term lease. 5.

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 ".
